   “Israel-Hamas war: UN warns of ‘immediate possibility of starvation’ in Gaza”

   https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2023/11/17/israel-hamas-war-gaza-strip-latest-news/

   Looking forward to Israel’s spin on this. Probably something along the lines of “The science says a low-calorie diet is good for you and, being the most compassionate state/army/child killers in the world (go gay pride!), we want the Gazan Arab Animal Creatures to have the best possible diet” if we are to go by previous announcements.

     @aral No critical commentary on how Hamas provoked and escalated the conflict?

     It's puzzling that polarized diatribe like this exists, as if Israel just randomly decided one day to start bombing children and hospitals for no reason.

     Point a finger at Israel if you want but I think your words are more fitting for Hamas.

     @lukevanin My words are fitting for Hamas, eh?

     How about you go fuck yourself.

     Over 70 years of occupation, apartheid, “mowing the grass.” Fuck off with your relativistic application of historic context. And guess what, I do condemn Hamas in the strongest possible terms. They’re barbarians. So if they’re barbarians, what does that make Israel for having killed 10x as many civilians in a month—thousands of them children—as Hamas did on Oct 7?

     (Don’t answer that, it’s rhetorical.)
