Zvi Sukkot, a member of Israel’s Knesset or Parliament, declared in a televised debate several months ago, “Last night, almost 100 Gazans were killed. And the question you asked me just now had nothing to do with Gaza. Do you know why? Because it doesn’t interest anyone. Everyone has gotten used to [the fact] that [we can] kill 100 Gazans in one night during a war and nobody cares in the world.”
Fortunately for the United States and Israel, MK Sukkot is correct. Few people care that the people of Gaza are starving to death if they are not gunned down by the Israeli military, while they wait in line to receive food.
Drop Site News reported, “Israel’s war of extermination in Gaza continues to plunge to new depths of horror. Starving Palestinians have begun to collapse in the streets and die of hunger as a result of the siege. Those who try to get food are gunned down in ever deadlier aid massacres. The Israeli military issues frequent mass expulsion orders and further expands its ground operations, slicing up the enclave and forcibly displacing Palestinians into more concentrated zones. All the while, the relentless aerial assault and ground attacks persist.”
According to Antiwar.com, Gaza’s Health Ministry on Sunday reported a total of 18 deaths from starvation within 24 hours due to the Israeli blockade of most aid into Gaza. Two people who starved to death were Razan Abu Zahe, a 4 year old girl, and a 3 month old baby, Yehia al-Najjar. Babies are especially vulnerable because mothers suffering from malnutrition cannot produce breast milk, and Israel has restricted the import of baby formula.
We must remember that Israel’s President Isaac Herzog of the center-left The Democrats Party stated on October 12, 2024 that there is no distinction between Hamas militants and civilians in Gaza. He declared, “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible. It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not being aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true.”
Last week, only 6 members of the US House of Representatives voted for a small reduction in US funding for the Israeli war machine.
Aaron Bushnell, a member of the US Air Force, who set himself on fire last year to protest this Shoah said, “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide? The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”
The United States and Israel are continuing to murder as many Gazans as possible, and they plan on expelling the remaining population to other countries to enable Israel’s puppet Donald Trump to develop a resort in Gaza.
Gaza is unfit for human life due to the unwavering support given to Israel by the US national-security state to destroy virtually all infrastructure in Gaza and its environment. The international community must compel the United States and Israel to integrate the population of Gaza into Israel and to grant them equal rights in accordance with international law.
