The Israeli Government is carrying out a Starvation Campaign against the People of Gaza, or so says Democracy Now and the United Nations. While multiple trucks filled with humanitarian supplies and food wait to enter Gaza, the Israeli Forces hold them back for inspection and security reasons, so few enter this region of crisis.
Well over a year has passed as Israeli Forces continue to besiege Gaza claiming to be trying to eliminate Hamas as a military force. What many journalists, international politicians and Middle Eastern Specialists see is a nation-state military trying to drive millions of Palestinians out of their homeland by whatever means possible. Airstrikes, and tank and armoured vehicle movements strive to destabilize life in Gaza and make these native residents fear for their lives and very survival. Similar actions were carried out by the Germans when they invaded Poland long ago. Military actions have seemed to remain the same, as to their purpose. Eradication of the “Palestinian Problem” has been the goal of the Netanyahu Government all along, seizing Gaza for Israeli use and driving the perceived Palestinian threat away for good.
The United Nations special rapporteur on the right of food Michael Fakhri accused Israel of carrying out a starvation campaign against a civilian population. This action is internationally viewed as criminal and answerable to the International Courts in the Hague. 2.2 million people in Gaza need food urgently and they are being treated as pawns within a game of international intrigue and conflict management by the superpowers and their allies.
Look to the American elections as a time when Israel will open the doors to humanitarian aid just as election day arrives. Israel’s leader Netanyahu is a friend of former president Trump. Interesting idea?

Note: Remember when Iran held American Hostages only to release them just before a election. That action empowered Ronald Reagan to victory. Interesting methodology of Republicans eh?
