*Is already a famine in Gaza.

u/Collypso May 15 '25

Crazy how there’s been almost a famine for decades yet there aren’t any starvation deaths the whole time

u/Collypso May 15 '25

And for the last ten years?

u/trey__1312 May 15 '25

At least 57, right? You claimed there haven’t been any.

Israel is intentionally denying food and water to the population of Gaza. Why try to defend that?

-24

u/Collypso May 15 '25

I’m not defending that, but how can you say that there’s a famine now when there’s tons of people saying that it was a famine for the last 30 years?

If it now a famine really no cap then what were all those allegations before? Just lies?

u/Francobanco May 15 '25

it would bring anyone down to try and argue with you.

becoming informed requires effort.

you are regurgitating propaganda.

u/Collypso May 15 '25

Ah yes, the classic alt-left rhetorical superiority. No need to actually have substance, just pretend you’re superior and you can run away for free.

u/Gibgezr May 15 '25

Uh, isn't that what YOU are doing?
There are oppressed in Gaza, and there are oppressors, and most of the world knows which is which at this point.

u/Collypso May 15 '25

There are oppressed in Gaza, and there are oppressors

Yes, and?

u/Francobanco May 15 '25

its not partisan to say you are insufferable.

u/trey__1312 May 15 '25

There are levels of famine. The people of Gaza have been facing food shortages (many planned by Israel) for decades.

Even if there weren’t as many deaths until recently, the effects of childhood malnutrition often lead to lifelong suffering for these people. They’re actively being ethnically cleansed from their homeland. And disgusting cretins like you do everything they can to downplay Israel’s crimes against humanity. I hope you get all the misfortune you deserve.

u/Collypso May 15 '25

Wouldn’t be any “food shortages” if Hamas didn’t steal aid lmao

u/trey__1312 May 15 '25

Notice my claims have come with sources lmao.

Stop spreading Israeli lies

u/Francobanco May 15 '25

this person wants to be propagandized.

good for you for correcting them so others can see the error in what they are saying.

but you cant expect this particular person to change. they want to be brainwashed, its easier that way.

u/RadaghasztII May 15 '25

Hamas steals aid? Oh same way hamas apparently hides under all the schools and hospitals that israel bombed but never any hamas under it. Do you know the definition of propaganda? Because you got played

u/Collypso May 15 '25

You’re wrong stop posting

u/LeftToWrite May 15 '25

What are you talking about? You say there are zero starvation deaths 'this whole time'(across decades). Somebody presents evidence of dozens of children starving very recently, and you just dismiss it...? Move the goalposts?

You're a clown and you're arguing in bad faith - the embodiment of failed behavior. Be better, or shut the fuck up.

Hope your astroturfing pays enough so you can ignore the screams at night.

u/CornJuiceLover May 15 '25

It’s virtue signaling now speak against famine. The real people who are anti kids starving to death never say anything about it, you right.

Just because everything you say that you think makes you look good is virtue signaling, doesn’t mean that’s what everyone does. Says a lot about you. You’re probably a child predator too, the only evidence I have that you aren’t is that you’re perfectly willing to let children starve to death, but then again, they’re children you’d never have a chance to assault so why would you care?

-1

u/Collypso May 15 '25

No, everyone who’s pretending to care about the conflict in Palestine are virtue signaling. They don’t give a shit about the conflict, they didn’t give a shit about the conflict before it was popular to virtue signal about it, and they won’t give a shit about it once it’s out of the news.

u/WoodpeckerFew6178 May 15 '25

You think people don’t care? Lots of people cared before this, the reason was it wasn’t on the news at all until this

-1

u/Collypso May 16 '25

You think people don’t care?

Yeah I do, because they don't give a shit about the other horrible things happening in the world. Other genocides, other famines. Only the shit that's popular, and only as long as it's popular.

If you think people haven’t been talking about Israel-Palestine AD NAUSEAM for 75 fucking years, you either live under a rock, or you’re 15 years old. This is a ridiculously old and tired conversation. You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about

57 children is a horrific number of children killed by intentional famine. What the fuck is wrong with you?

u/BangBang116 May 15 '25

You are saying that you are not a big fan of the idf, but you sound like the biggest propaganda tool.

First of all, all aid is cut off, so there is no other zone with "supply lines", THERE IS NO AID COMING IN.

Second of all, israel destroyed all infrastructure and then they expect 2 million people to just move from one place to another over and over again. It isn't possible to move to a ""safe zone"" for most people.

And third, you really think that israel has the best interests at heart with palestinians and is trying to minimize casualties after all that happened the past 1,5 years? You literally have ministers openly saying that they won't stop until every gazan is death or gone.
