Let the fascist occupation of Israel live without impunity and it will do deliberate acts of sadistic horror you couldn’t fathom

A Palestinian father playfully balances his son on his right hand at the beach in Gaza City early one evening.

The coast of Gaza has grown increasingly popular over the years. It had always been a sight for weary eyes but with Israel’s siege denying Gazans the freedom to move, its seemingly endless seascape offers, for many, a very tangible escape, even if only temporal. It has also become a very popular family destination. Entire meals are prepared, served, and eaten here, and it is not uncommon to stay the night, father, son, and all.

Masha’Allah. This is really refreshing. I hate that I only see Gazans on my dash when they’re bleeding and broken.

Gaza is already the most intense starvation catastrophe of recent decades. The death toll from hunger and disease may soon surpass the body count from bombs and bullets. The Famine Review Committee reported this week that Gaza is facing “imminent famine”. The Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) system, set up 20 years ago, provides the most authoritative assessments of humanitarian crises. Its figures for Gaza are the worst ever by any metric. It estimates that 677,000 people, or 32% of all Gazans, are in “catastrophic” conditions today and a further 41% are in “emergency” conditions. It expects fully half of Gazans, more than 1 million people, to be in “catastrophe” or “famine” within weeks. A parallel report from the Famine Early Warning System Network of the US Agency for International Development sounds the same alarm. It is the clearest warning that the network has given at any time in its 40-year history. A rule of thumb is that “catastrophe” or “famine” conditions mean a daily death rate from from hunger or disease of two people out of 10,000. About half are children under five years old. The arithmetic is simple. For a population of 1 million, that is 200 deaths per day, 6,000 per month.

I need. NEED. ppl to understand that whiteness as a concept has varied across time and place throughout history and is not a universal constant. a person can be fully white in one place and not white or conditionally white in another. a family can be considered white in the present day while their ancestors were subject to white supremacist oppression. you have GOT to stop thinking of whiteness as something intrinsic.

MASS DEATH IS IMMINENT IN GAZA

The U.N. warns that 1.1 million Palestinians are at imminent risk of death, as the crushing toll of the siege reaches its lethal and final stages. In North Gaza particularly, there is little time left before hundreds of thousands of people will die of hunger.

Time is almost up for over a million people. The US and its allies bear full responsibility for what can only be described as an impending holocaust. Without an immediate change of course that includes the provision of mass amounts of aid into Gaza and sanctioning Israel, mass death from starvation is a guarantee.

It is extremely important that this isn't just "more of the same" here. They're out of food, it is getting worse. Integrated Food Security Phase Classification is an organization for studying food insecurity, and they have a scale for how bad food insecurity is. Gaza has BEEN in phase 4 for a long time now, and that's already what is called "emergency". Its bad. But they only now have been upgraded to phase 5, outright famine.

Gaza is the only place in the world to have this level of food insecurity right now.

This isn't "more on-going cruelty" like I have heard from so many. This has changed to "no, this community is currently collapsing, and will completely die out if we do not do something NOW to at least take them from 'dying' to 'starving'". This is acute food insecurity on an unimaginable and unsurvivable scale. Contact whoever you need to immediately, because it literally does not get worse. This is the part where the genocide could fucking its goals if you do not do something to spurn your government into action.

Children in Gaza can tell an F-16 from an F-35 from a drone. They know a whole litany of things that are beyond their years. Things that they shouldn’t have to know. Over 10,000 children have been killed in Gaza. The children who have survived have seen their families, friends and neighbors killed by the Israeli army. They have seen near-death by starvation and death by suffocation, under the rubble and by explosion. Children in Gaza do not have the luxury of death being a mystery. It is a daily presence. If a child in Gaza is hungry, they know not to throw a tantrum. They have become used to feeling hunger. The same is true of the cold. Every child in Gaza now knows what it is to be unhoused, to sleep in a tent or on the streets in winter.

giving unread book back to the library makes me feel like i should be shot

The fact that some people say things like this while other people think it’s totally fine to starve children is something that really should be talked about more.

period i am against that for sure

children are starving at the fastest rate that the world has ever known

Help Gaza Children is currently raising funds to feed families in north Gaza, where the genocidal man-made famine is most dire:

this initiative is based in Gaza with no middleman. whatever you can contribute will go directly to those who need it

honestly when people complain about things like boycotting the oscars, grammys, superbowl, eurovision etc. and say that it's "too much" to expect people to boycott those events, i always automatically think of the 1936 olympics happening in nazi germany. how everyone was just going about the event as usual. in hindsight every normal person can see how messed up that is, everyone would ask themselves "how could all those people possibly sit there and act as if everything is normal?". i wonder if people will one day look back on all the big american and european events happening during the gaza genocide and wonder how anyone could have just sat there and enjoyed them

I think about this all of the time. I KNOW people will look back on this genocide and be in total shock of how so many people continued on like normal, despite how much power we could have if we all stood together instead of trying to ignore Israel killing thousands of people each month.
