    So, it sounds like you plan on reneging. Is one person enough or do you need more to acknowledge starvation is occurring?

    You seem unfamiliar with human biology and starving. Generally speaking, we have starvation going on. The first portion is going on. Mothers will miscarry. I know the leftists who support Israel don't give a damn because it's just like an abortion to them, but this is part of it. Mothers stop producing milk. Mothers need calories and especially a supply of fresh water to produce milk. Babies first lose their baby fat and then die. It's not instant. At a certain point, if things don't change, a tipping point occurs and bodies start dropping really fast. We're not to that point and I'd rather not get there. However, there are definitely pictures. Some don't have any respect for the dead but I'd rather not just post pictures just to have someone giggle, laugh, and gaslight everyone about it not happening.

    I never said I didn't believe anything. What I said was I have seen no AUTHENTIC RELIABLE report.

    Posted in here doesn't make it fact...in fact it makes it suspicious.

    I suggest you step back and ease up.....that post is awfully charged.

    Why should I?

    I've made absolutely NO claims about the region whatsoever, merely questioned facts that have been so far unsubstantiated.

    Yes, you have. You've made the claim that the reports coming from the region are inauthentic and unreliable.

    Only if you read it defensively, which you need not. I wrote the post because I have seen some here ARE explicitly for the deliberate starvation of civilians as a weapon of war. Others are not. Those who are not may be offended by the question, because they are overly defensive.

    It's amazing that some people think that starvation isn't happening. Seven months ago the millions of Gazans had to rely on food and water aid to survive. This food and water aid dropped to a fifth six months ago and still is a fifth. What do those who claim starvation isn't happening think that Gazans are eating and drinking now to survive, sand?

    There have been reports of them eating grass and animal feed. I don't know how credible those reports are.

    Also, note this thread is not about determining if starvation is happening or not, but about if using it as a weapon of war (ie, a siege of civilians) is ok or not.

    Thats why in the US people slaughter each other while in the Muslim world Shiite, Sunnis, Turkish Islamists, Taliban, etc. live in peace with each other. Oh wait ... it was the other way.

    Its not the US that cannot live with the existence of other nations and religions, its Islam.

    Siege, definition:
    a situation in which soldiers or police officers surround a city, building, etc., in order to try to take control of it

    Israel can't lay siege to Gaza because the Israeli army can't surround Gaza. As you should already know, Gaza shares an IDF-free border with Egypt.

    Siege of places with military objectives is not a war crime, by the way.

    Then the place would look like a Nazi concentration camp and video and pictures would be everywhere, including all over this forum.

    So where are the mountains of dead? Where are the hordes of skeleton-people?


    See, when people starve, they do desperate acts like, oh I dunno, try to leave war zones. The Jews couldn’t escape or they’d be shot and hunted down with dogs, and even still those who could, tried.

    Nobody’s trying to leave Gaza. And nobody’s going to shoot 2 million people dead or hunt them down with dogs.

    Strange, since I’m told it sucks balls to be there.


    Do you seriously have no idea how desperation works?

    None of the people claiming to have humanitarian concern for civilians in Gaza really care at all about them. If there was any humanitarian concern for starving civilians there would have be many threads about the 25 million that are really starving to death in Sudan right now.
    Not one thread.

    All this agitation for a ceasefire in Gaza is just cheerleading for another Hamas victory over Israel. The phony posturing is too obvious to be very effective.

    The difference is that the US is applying violence when necessary if they see the interests of their nation threatened, they dont feel threatened by the pure existence of Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, Buddhists or Catholics, they dont try to annihilate or enslave e.g. Hindus in India, they dont wanna try to annihilate the native population of Burma to occupy their land, enslaving their women for sex slaves and perversions. They dont raid Nigerian schools bc the children there are Christians burning the boys to death, castrating them, kidnapping the females for their sexual perversion.

    The death count of the US isnt even a fart in the wind compared to those of Islam, which is leaving a trail of destruction. Israel is using the lowest amount of violence to give them a message in the language they do understand, I for my side wonder why they dont apply the Burmese way to handle the problem. I critizize the US there for interfering in Burmese affairs and how they handled their Islam problem, dont worry.

    I remember 'the Greatest Generation' was frightened of Vietnamese peasants
    minding their own business in their rice paddies.

    Not at all. And as a consequence its the IDF which punishes this creatures from hell, not the US Army. I am glad you finally accpeted that the deaths caused by the US are a fart in the wind in comparison to the trail of dead corpses Islam leaves behind, as you cannot reply anything to that.

    I furthermore acknowledge you have to cite the rest of the statement in small letters, because the cognitive dissonance must be aching that countries which are hostile to the US like Burma dealt with Islam much tougher than Israel ever did. And I think Israel should seriously consider the Burmese way.

    Well, Hamas is keeping the tradition alive that the people that have the guns don't go hungry.

    thank you.

    Therefore your previous comment that US is applying violence when necessary if they see the interests of their nation threatened, that iResponded to, is irrelevant.

    Its not, as the interests of their nation are threatened. You have demonstrated perfectly, that only some people here in the forum are capable to distinguish in between "the interest of a nation" and "the nation".
    Therefore you didnt understand my comment, but the most important part is, you cannot contradict the simple fact that Islam is the biggest threat to peace, whereever it appears it will lead to bloodshed.

    The Vietnamese peasants were NOT "minding thei4 own business in their rice paddies. They were targeting U.S troops with literally billions of rubles worth of the best weapons that the Warsaw Pact nations could build including literally thousands of the best SAMs in the world

    Israel is not an interest to American society, it's irrelevant to American society. Israel has zero impact on Americans daily life, zero

    So your comment is also irrelevant.

    the most important part is, you cannot contradict the simple fact that white supremacists are the biggest threat to peace, wherever it appears it will lead to bloodshed as history has proven.

    And once more you try confuse the issue, to leave your nonsense behind. You were talking about Hamas before, not Israel.

    How should you judge it as you prove the 2nd time you dont understand it at all?

    Its obviously ridiculous, I gave you some short samples of Islamic violence, while your nonsense is obviously made up, you can claim the US kill more, White supremacists kill more, you can claim all nonsense. I could prove you that Burma e.g. sees the necessity to fight Islam, they dont see a necessity to fight White supremacy. China will send people with the Quran in re-education camps because they have seen that this book is a threat for the peace for their society, no measures against White supremacy needed.
