Palestinian Foreign Minister Accuses Israel of Using Starvation as a Weapon of War

Posted by

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki has accused Israel of deliberately using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza. In a recent interview, al-Maliki stated that Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip has led to severe shortages of food, medicine, and essential supplies, resulting in a humanitarian crisis for the Palestinian people.

The blockade, which has been in place since 2007, has severely restricted the movement of goods and people in and out of Gaza, leading to high levels of poverty and unemployment. Al-Maliki emphasized that the blockade has had a devastating impact on the lives of Palestinians, with many struggling to access basic necessities such as clean water and adequate healthcare.

Al-Maliki’s comments come in the midst of intense fighting between Israel and Hamas, the militant group that governs Gaza. The latest conflict has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians and dozens of Israelis, with widespread destruction and displacement.

The foreign minister’s remarks shed light on the long-standing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has been exacerbated by Israeli policies and practices. Al-Maliki’s accusations echo the sentiments of many human rights organizations, who have long criticized the Israeli government for its treatment of the Palestinian population.

In response to the allegations, Israeli officials have defended the blockade as a necessary security measure to prevent the smuggling of weapons into Gaza. However, critics argue that the blockade has disproportionately harmed innocent civilians and constitutes a form of collective punishment.

The international community has been called upon to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and hold Israel accountable for its actions. Al-Maliki’s statements serve as a reminder of the urgent need for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has caused immense suffering for both sides.

As the fighting continues to escalate, it is crucial for world leaders to prioritize the well-being of the civilian population and work towards a peaceful resolution. The plight of the Palestinian people cannot be ignored, and their rights to food, healthcare, and freedom of movement must be upheld.

Al-Maliki’s words are a powerful reminder of the harrowing reality faced by Palestinians in Gaza, and they underscore the need for urgent action to alleviate their suffering. It is time for the international community to stand up against the use of starvation as a weapon of war and work towards a just and lasting peace for the people of Palestine.

If the US government can support Israel, surely they would support the same inhumanity here in the US.

This is notably not unprecedented historically. It describes the Holodomor in Ukraine. The question is, is this the result of a cognitive dissonance, or is this a cognitive consonance? I personally am equipped to face the truth either way.

Many of the leaders of the terrorist organization Hamas live abroad – and enjoy luxury and have enormous capital: according to Saudi publications, the fortune of Ismail Haniyeh, Khaled Mashaal and Musa Abu Marzouk is estimated at $4.5 billion. 5 billion dirhams each.

“Maaz Haniyeh – a life of extravagance, drugs, alcohol and women,” reads a Saudi newspaper headline about one of the sons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Khaled Mashal Made his fortune from the suffering of his people and the generosity of the rest of the world. A certified thief who left the people without bread and water. He calls himself a liberator, but in reality he stole freedom and hope for a better future from people."

CNN published testimonies from Gazans recorded two weeks after the war began, a Gazan resident said: “Currently, as a person living in a Gaza prison, my main and immediate enemy is Hamas, not Israel. I don't have a home. , no life. Nothing. We were doomed to suffer because of this military organization. Who made us live in poverty in the Gaza Strip? Not Jews, but Hamas. They themselves live in luxury and we protect their missiles.”
