To the question wether or not Israel as the providing side tried to starve Gaza it - according to you - is irrelevant that enough food entered Gaza? Or that Hamas has bursting ware houses because the issue was obviously not the providing but the distributing side?
Are you mad?
And you go on to say that the USA tried to prevent a supposed attempted large scale starvation by Israel with that Pier. And the Pier failed.Then why did the large scale starvation not happen? Your notions are utterly illogical and completely defy all common sense.

These titbits you provide absolutely are irrelevant.
If you have a complete dataset of all cargo moved into Gaza (ideally with separate count of foodstuffs) for the last few years (including the war of course) please feel to share.
We can do armchair analysis and napkin math.

It didn't happen because Israel eventually relented.
It either bucked under the political pressure or a deal was reached with US which allowed for delivering of humanitarian aid, likely in exchange for a freer hand in Gaza.

Correct. There's been lots of strong evidence that many people have been starving in Gaza throughout most of the war and it has gotten worse over time.
The denialism of Israel withholding essentials is now also apparently more rampant in this thread than it's ever been. There's now more pro-Israel propaganda being shared here than ever before.

Just because demands are made doesn't mean they're reasonable demands.
Not sure which link you're referring to, but terror organizations gonna terror organization. What are your thoughts on Israel once again using white phosphorous, a banned weapon, in residential areas? Or settlement companies advertising for new settlements in Lebanon?

I thought about it, but everyone either knows Israel/the US was doing this or they are intentionally denying reality to rationalize what is clearly bipartisan US support of Israeli war crimes in violation of international and domestic US laws.
I'd argue that's largely because a little over a year ago most people "knew" they would radically oppose genocide only to now discover they've convinced themselves that enabling genocide is the right and necessary thing to do.

And you probably also need a photograph of each can of food to be absolutely sure, yeah?
So Israel relented? How? At what time did humanitarian aid go down and back up again, exactly? What is the basis for this analysis except a guess that is based on a pier that hardly worked?

The complete blockade lasted 16 days (which I previously mentioned multiple times and none of you replied to).
These links give credit to all the statements I made.
Feel free to address them and see you next weekend.
Perhaps you also have whistleblower statements to support your notions because as a government enforced famine of the whole Gaza Strip would need to be approved top to bottom in several governmental bodies and the military over several years. So a single whistleblower should be easy to find (at least if it really happened)!
But thanks for a wikipedia article that points out that Hamas didn't steal any goods! Which of course is a completely absurd thing to think... why would terrorists ever commit such horrible things like stealing humanitarian aid and enriching themselves in the process, while trying to enforce a crisis to save their asses, like even Palestinians and Fatah report. Stupid me.

There were two IPC reports on this. The latest conclusions were quite clear:
In this context, at the moment, the available evidence does not indicate that Famine is occurring.
A new analysis was conducted by the multi-agency analysis team between 27 May and 4 June 2024 and the FRC was requested to assess the plausibility of the risk of Famine for the projected period (16 June to 30 September 2024).
The FRC finds the analysis team’s classifications in IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) for the “current” period (1 May – 15 June) for all areas plausible.
The FRC also considers the analysis team’s classification of IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) for the projection period (16 June – 30 September 2024) for all the areas plausible, based on the scenario and assumptions set by the analysis team.
The FRC finds the risk of Famine plausible for all areas, based on the assumptions set by the analysis team. A high risk of Famine persists as long as conflict continues, and humanitarian access is restricted.
There's no famine occurring, a very high level of food insecurity, and a high risk famine.

To quote a certain poster from the US politics thread, you have brain rot and should drink bleach. There's been at least half a dozen major famines in 21st century that did not lead to a significant reduction in population in the affected countries. Or are you going to argue that the famines in Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Niger or whatever are also all made up? In that case, you should really double up on bleach.

Don’t know why you’re waiting for it. You were there when you wrote it.
A famine is when people are dying from not having enough food to feed the population. When the population is growing rapidly there is no food constraint.
But let’s say that we accept your premise, that famines somehow lead to population growth due to ????. That’d make Israel causing a famine in Gaza the very furthest thing from genocide due to all the expected additional Palestinians who would be born in the famine boom. That’s not the argument I’m making, that’s the implication of the argument you’re making.
Additionally there are a number of famines around the world right now and you seem to be laser focused on this one where the people have enough food. It’s almost as if your interest in famines is not so much about whether people are starving but rather whether you can blame Jews for it.

Population growth and the existence of famine are not mutually exclusive. Take this graph of population in Somalia:
https://datacommons.org/place/country/SOM?utm_medium=explore&mprop=count&popt=Person&hl=en
There were two major famines (and a whole bunch of smaller ones). One in 1992, and one in 2011, and in both an estimated 250k people died of starvation.
In 1992, we see a significant dip in population. In 2011 the population keeps growing (albeit at a slower rate). It isn't that the famine didn't happen, it's that death rate isn't the only factor that goes into population growth...
Now whether Gaza is experiencing a famine or just extreme food insecurity, I'll leave up to y'all to quibble about, but using population growth as an argument against famine is just dumb. Also, citation needed on population growth in Gaza during 2024. I highly doubt there's an accurate census from a war zone with repeated mass displacement...

Bunch of places are facing famines. Turns out that having the Gazan population double every 10 years in a country that has no economy isn’t sustainable.

That’s a really bad argument. Kicking everyone off their land, erasing a state, putting them in a camp, and making the UN aid programs feed them does result in population growth but it is still ethnic cleansing. The follow up to creating a failed state also seems to include a lot of “they’re vermin” and “drive them into the sea” rhetoric which is not great.
You might as well argue that Hitler was helping the Jews because his actions helped create Israel. You can’t point to something like population in isolation and extrapolate back that Israel is really trying to help Palestine.
This one is particularly egregious because the famine is during this conflict, so I don't really know how population growth relates.

This is a very silly argument and you should know that.
There is always an equivalent thing happening elsewhere in the world, and it isn't racism to focus on one part of the world, it tends to be how 100% of people view issues 100% of the time in fact.
I could go through every single one of your posts, point out things that are happening elsewhere in the world in a similar way and then morally judge you for which ones you decide to put your energy into talking about. I won't though, because that would be completely ridiculous.

We can do armchair analysis and napkin math. Missing that, I will put much more stock in the actions of the most powerful man in world. One that was better informed then us, loved to talk-up 'rules based order' and was facing a tough reelection campaign. On October 07 2024 03:45 PremoBeats wrote:
And you go on to say that the USA tried to prevent a supposed attempted large scale starvation by Israel with that Pier. And the Pier failed.Then why did the large scale starvation not happen? Your notions are utterly illogical and completely defy all common sense. It didn't happen because Israel eventually relented. It either bucked under the political pressure or a deal was reached with US which allowed for delivering of humanitarian aid, likely in exchange for a freer hand in Gaza. And you probably also need a photograph of each can of food to be absolutely sure, yeah?
You are no fun.
This was the point where you were supposed to show Israeli humanitarian data where there is absolutely no change to aid reaching Gaza whatsoever.
And then I would counter with UN dataset showing that most Palestinians have starved to death already.
That's the problem with high level politics, we will never be provided with data that contradicts the narrative.
Your factoids are just more cherry-picked and context-less than most.

There is famine in Gaza, the sealion is just lying to you. Wiki has a timeline on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip_famine
I'm sorry but I will not be taking seriously any article that links to 'Gaza freedom flotilla'.
There is a place in the world for activism but it's not on Wikipedia.

The link is another wiki article that explains what it is?
