West and Hunger in Gaza: When the Complicit Caregiver Becomes a Victim
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr news Agency and Al Jazeera, after 21 months of silence from Western and American media toward the Israeli regime’s brutal crimes against civilians in Gaza, outlets such as CNN and MSNBC appear to have finally awakened. They are now openly discussing the famine crisis gripping Gaza.
Even the Daily Express, a right-wing british newspaper, published a headline reading “Stop Starvation Now.” Accompanying this was a photo of a hungry Palestinian child in Gaza. the Daily Express emphasized: “Those struggling desperately to survive in Hellish Gaza are a shame on all of us.” English journalist matt Kennard noted that Israel has lost support from the Daily Express.
The Pain of Hunger in Gaza and Global Awakening
There is an increasing shift within rigid Western media frameworks that once justified Israeli occupiers’ crimes against Palestinians since the start of the war. Cracks are emerging as for weeks now, images across global news show emaciated children dying slowly from starvation without hope. Heba Al-Maqadma, a 24-year-old Palestinian journalist still living in gaza City, says hunger has become Israel’s deadliest weapon against Palestinians-surpassing bombs-and no child survives hunger there anymore; they all perish.
Western actor,author,and human rights activist Stanley Tucci shared memories in his book Taste about his lifelong love for food and its universal appeal. He observed that people enjoy watching scenes featuring food as it creates a sense of belonging to one human family.
This writer stressed: people love culinary films or cooking shows as food reminds us we share humanity-so witnessing others deprived even this simple act causes profound pain.
The agony of watching another person starve-especially children-is unbearable and shameful for humanity. Unlike airstrikes or terrorist attacks which occur suddenly then end quickly, hunger is ongoing; victims fade away bit by bit as UNRWA states that gazans have become living corpses.
A Gazan doctor posted an image showing an extremely thin child whose skin stretched tightly over bones with caption: “We are starving while they continue to suffer.”
Such images compel anyone with compassion to urgently seek ways to deliver food aid because witnessing starvation means observing slow but deliberate destruction of humanity itself. Yet public outrage sharply contrasts with reactions from those responsible for causing this famine along with supportive governments enforcing blockade policies.
It is indeed now evident globally that Israeli leaders perpetrating starvation alongside savage bombings lack any trace of humanity. Labeling these officials “animals” is neither unjust nor anti-Semitic-they enthusiastically commit atrocities against innocent civilians proudly boasting about their crimes. Recent statements expose deep psychological disorders fueled by years of hatred protected under Western and American immunity shields allowing them impunity against defenseless victims. Figures such as itamar Ben-Gvir-the terrorist-fascist Minister within Israel’s cabinet-and others openly advocate starving Gazans exemplify this depravity.
Meanwhile shameful Israeli actions preventing humanitarian aid access into Gaza persist unabated amid mounting atrocity reports stirring global conscience awakening demanding worldwide focus on ending this catastrophe.
Protests supporting Gaza flare across European capitals and U.S cities alike: Londoners raise Palestinian flags; Brazilians hang Palestine banners over Christ Redeemer statue; Chicago bus drivers wave Palestinian flags visibly;
In New York streets near UN headquarters demonstrations continue condemning Israeli war crimes supporting besieged Gazans while greek islanders block cruise ships carrying Israeli tourists; Belgium recently arrested two Israeli soldiers suspected war criminals.
The United Nations community-despite intense U.S pressure-now sees most experts reporting openly on Israel’s atrocities. Francesca Albanese-a UN Special Rapporteur censored by America-is unwaveringly advocating for Gaza’s relief while U.S Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib calls for complete arms embargoes on Israel plus release freedom demands concerning Dr Hossam Abu Safiya head physician at Kamal Adwan Hospital detained by Israelis.
The Reason Behind Western Officials’ Sudden Shift Toward Gaza’s Crisis
Even human rights bodies which hesitated previously acknowledging what amounts to genocide are awakening towards reclaiming their voice; some Jewish organizations concede Israel’s crimes too-the group B’Tselem issued videos warning “our destruction is happening right now,” while ‘Physicians for Human Rights-Israel’ admit what unfolds constitutes genocide.
Recently CNN aired statements declaring Palestinians risk daily death seeking food either due to extreme hunger or violence committed directly by Israeli forces questioning how decades-long cover-ups enabled current conditions leading here.
CNN also reported over 100 aid agencies warn severe famine expanding throughout overcrowded Strip.
Some western officials began criticizing starving tactics used by Tel Aviv-but questions linger why those same leaders remained silent earlier? Individuals like UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer knew full well initial intentions given Britain actively participated aiding those criminal acts.
While expressing condemnation matters rhetorically-it remains unclear whether these western critiques stem genuinely humanitarian motives rather than pragmatic self-interest calculations ultimately blocking decisive steps needed halting continual genocidal campaigns orchestrated under their watch.
American journalist-filmmaker Max Blumenthal calls out Democrats including Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton saying their concerns represent damage control attempts post-prolonged silence essentially denying complicity accusations during mass killing campaigns undertaken among palestinians currently imprisoned deep inside siege zones limiting survival prospects drastically embedded historically within US foreign policy strategies measured unwillingness protecting civilian lives affected deeply today.
Pamela Al-Maqadma warned reacting western officials claiming sympathy do not reflect true empathy instead emphasizing accountability demanding pressure upon individuals withholding sustenance access along recognizing power holders capable stopping prolonged famine but choosing inactivity.
This ongoing genocidal starvation campaign inflicts unbearable suffering beyond just Gazan civilians-it assaults universal humanity implicating everyone worldwide both morally & politically complicit through negligence enabling persistence unchallenged everywhere so far.
