The monstrous regiment of anti-Israel campaigners have been accusing Israel of deliberately withholding food aid so that a “famine” is taking place in Gaza. In fact, more aid trucks laden with food have been entering Gaza today than went into the Strip before October 7. And as several academic studies have concluded, there is no famine in Gaza. There is food insecurity, which is a different thing, the result of continued looting of aid trucks by Gazans and, especially, by members of Hamas who seize food off the trucks for themselves, their extended families, and fellow Hamas members. Now a UN panel of experts in food security has weighed in, and concluded that there is no famine in Gaza. More on this startling, and welcome admission, can be found here: “UN Committee Says Not Enough Evidence to Declare a Famine in Gaza,” by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, June 19, 2024:
The United Nations Famine Review Committee (FRC), a panel of experts in international food security and nutrition, has cast doubt on the notion that the northern Gaza Strip is suffering through a famine.
In a report released earlier this month, the committee responded to a claim by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) — a US-created provider of warning and analysis on food insecurity — that a famine was likely underway in northern Gaza. FEWS NET said that northern Gaza began experiencing famine in April and projected that the embattled enclave would endure famine until at least July 31.
The FRC rejected the assertion that northern Gaza is experiencing famine, citing the “uncertainty and lack of convergence of the supporting evidence employed in the analysis.” The panel carries out evaluations of humanitarian conditions on behalf of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), an international famine monitoring initiative.
The FRC added that there is not sufficient evidence to confirm the existence of a famine within northern Gaza and called for more humanitarian access into the warzone, providing experts an opportunity to give an accurate assessment of the conditions….
Several aid agencies, media outlets, and politicians, as well as pro-Palestinian activists, have repeatedly accused Israel of inflicting famine on Palestinians since beginning its military operations in Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7 slaughter of over 1,200 people throughout southern Israel. Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, accused Israel of using starvation as a “weapon of war.”
Despite these allegations, data produced by the United Nations showed that Israel allowed more than 100 food trucks to enter Gaza per day in March, an increase from the daily average of 70 trucks before the war. Moreover, many trucks transporting aid into Gaza have been hijacked and seized by Hamas terrorists, increasing the difficulty of distributing food to civilians.
By June, more than 300 trucks have been transporting food into Gaza each day, through both the Kerem Shalom and Erez crossings. Israel would also like the Rafah crossing to be opened for the delivery of aid, but Egypt insists on keeping it closed.
When even a UN-affiliated panel of experts in international food security and nutrition, the United Nations Famine Review Committee (FRC), concludes that there is no “famine” in Gaza, one hopes that at least that canard — there are so many about Israel — will no longer be invoked.

There is a problem with the assertion that Hamas steals food,since that presupposes it is true that the Israeli government has told the truth in that it has destroyed the Hamas tunnels that go OUT of Gaza into EGYPT.
There is retired Israeli general YITZHAK BRIK, for 10 years he served as the
Commissioner of the Israeli Military Ombudsman. His job was to examine the IDF’s preparedness for war.
1. He has said that OFFICERS in Gaza have spoken to him and told him the Israeli government is lying. That when they say 200-300 Hamas fighters were killed it is a lie.They don’t even know where Hamas is. In March 2024 Brik said Israel lost the war.
2.Brik has also,last week, said that they have NOT been able to destroy the Hamas TUNNELS that go to the SINAI. Brik has his contacts. Hamas keeps getting food and arms through those tunnels.

FRANZ KAFKA was a Jewish writer, whose masterpiece,a critique of totalitarianism,is THE TRIAL ( finished in 1915,published in 1925). Joseph K, is arrested and he NEVER knowswhy he was arrested and in the end is killed. At least there was a TRIAL in his case.
1.There are 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank.They are under MARTIAL(military) law.Their human rights are suspended,since more than 20 years.
Before Oct 7,2023 there were 5,000 Palestinians in West Bank prisons,the vast majority under NO charges. You get arrested,no reason given,and you are in prisonfor 6 months. Usually it is renewed,no reason given,another 6 months.No charges given.
No trial,at least Joseph K had a trial. Children as young as 15 arrested? No,younger. 12 years old? No,younger. As young as NINE years old arrested,held for 6 months.
3. Martial law means ANY Israeli soldier , or any Israeli settler can kill any Palestinian for no reason given. And nothing will happen to him. Human rights suspended. So far in 2023 and till today in 2024, 500 Palestinians have been killed ( of which 81 have been CHILDREN)by Israeli soldiers and settlers.
Israeli soldiers often conduct raids at night and if the person runs,tries to escaped,or fights back (unarmed by the way)he is killed. Today there are 9,500 in the West Bank prisons,vast majority under no chargers. There are not prisoners since there was never a trial,they are
HOSTAGES.Under military law human rights are suspended, people in prisons can be tortured and starved and nothing happens to the torturers.

That is why the former HEAD of MOSSAD, TAMIR PARDO (2011-2016),appointed by Netanyahu,says Israel practices APARTHEID,in the West Bank.A Zionist philosopher and Orthodox Jew who was a prophet foresaw all this.In 1967 Israel acquired the West Bank and Gaza and
YESHAYAHU LEIBOWITZ (1903 – 1994) wrote ”The Territories”(1968):
”The Arabs would be the working people and the Jews the administrators, inspectors, officials, and police—mainly secret police. A state ruling a hostile population of 1.5 to 2 million foreigners would necessarily become a secret-police state, with all that this implies for education, free speech and democratic institutions. The corruption characteristic of every colonial regime would also prevail in the State of Israel.
The administration would suppress Arab insurgency on the one hand and acquire Arab Quislings on the other. There is also good reason to fear that the Israel Defense Forces, which has been until now a people’s army, would, as a result of being transformed into an army of occupation, degenerate, and its commanders, who will have become military governors, resemble their colleagues in other nations.”
In later years Leibowitz used the phrase JUDEO-NAZI to describe it all.
In the Nazi extermination camps the Nazis searched for Jewish psychopaths and criminals who would beat and rule over the other Jews.They were called KAPOS. Jews who acted like Nazis.

HOWEVER, there seems to be a TERRIBLE SHORTAGE of CIGARETTES!! Some brands are selling for as much as $32.00 for a SINGLE CIGARETTE!! How awful – imagine selling ONE little cigarette for $10 to $32!! Couple of questions come to mind : How BADLY do you need to smoke and WHERE do you get $32 for ONE CIGARETTE?? I don’t think we’ve been told the entire TRUTH about “conditions on the ground” over there!
Onzeur Trante says
How’s the rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key Bridge coming along now that the Gaza pier is up?
MuggsSpongedice says
Now that’s a crises – how are 10 year old boys expected to afford cigrarttets?
MuggsSpongedice says
Can this possibly be the turning point? It takes a mile for a large ship to turn about. How about the facts? The rants, the raves, the lunatic fringes that main sleaze media has been lying about for years that no longer add up to even the least critical thinkers who regularly tune into the lying main sleaze media outlets, when our lives no longer match up with the lies being told, even the most hypnotized by lies start shaking their heads to wake up out of the stupor of media propaganda.
So the truth always prevails in the long run. In some countries it’s too late as in the case of commie dictator nations like Russia and China. Hopefully, our precious US Constitution and the life styles we have all enjoyed and flourished in USA, if we have the correct mindsets and disciplines, that is unique only to USA, will want to preserve the USA in our Constructional state!
