This chart tells the full story of how Gaza reached this level of starvation. After the last ceasefire, Israel intentionally created a famine by not letting in any aid for months, and then the GHF used the desperation thus generated to deliver insufficient aid and slaughter people trying to get food. None of this was an accident.
Benjamin Netanyahu is losing in the court of public opinion in America.
-His net favorable (-23 pts) is his lowest ever
-Net approval for Israel's military acts in Gaza (-28 pts) is at its historic low
-Americans who side with Israelis over Palestinians is at its historic low

Calories alone won’t save Gaza. People need thiamine, phosphate, potassium, and medical nutrition like F-75. Limited aid means refeeding syndrome will kill next. Let UNRWA & Action Against Hunger in. Open the borders. No limits on aid.
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱JUST IN: U.S. contractor and former Green Beret Anthony Agular, who worked for the U.S.-Israeli-backed GHF, speaks out, sharing the story of a Palestinian child named Amir who went to get aid but was killed, prompting Agular to break his silence:
“On May 28, at secure distribution site #2, this young boy, Amir, walks over to me, reaches out & kisses my hand. This boy is not wearing shoes. His clothes are falling off of him because he is so skinny….He doesn’t have a box, he has half a bag of rice , lentils, and he was thanking us.
He walked 12 kilometers to get there … & when he got there he thanked us for the crumbs he got … & he set them on the ground & his frail, skeletal, emaciated hands, and he kissed me and said 'thank you.'
And then he collected his items, walked back to the group, and then he was shot at with pepper spray, and tear gas, and stunt grenades, and bullets, and he was shot at, at his feet and in the air, and he runs away...and the IDF were shooting at the crowd … they are shooting … and they are shooting into this crowd & Palestinians, civilians, human beings, are dropping to the ground, and Amir was one of them... Amir walked 12 kilometers to get food, got nothing but scraps, thanked us for it, and died.”
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth.
Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks and other practices of annihilation, prove beyond a doubt that Israel’s target is the entire population of Gaza.
Entire cities razed to the ground; medical, educational, religious and cultural infrastructure systematically destroyed; 2 million Palestinians forcibly displaced with the aim of expelling them from Gaza; and, of course, mass starvation and killing - all this amounts to an explicit attempt to destroy the population of Gaza and impose living conditions so catastrophic that Palestinian society cannot continue to exist there.
That is the exact definition of genocide.
The report we are releasing today is a warning: The ideology driving the Israeli regime is not confined to Gaza.
The same regime, the same army, the same leaders and the same commanders are implementing extremely violent practices against Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and within Israel. We are already witnessing the spillover of practices Israel is using in Gaza to other areas - on a different scale, but guided by the same logic. In the West Bank, this is taking the form of airstrikes, demolition of refugee camps, mass evictions, and the deliberate destruction of Palestinian economy and society.
No Palestinian who lives under the genocidal Israeli regime is safe.
There is no justification for genocide – not “self-defense”, not “security”, and not the heinous acts committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which triggered profound existential fear among Israelis.
The international community has not only failed in its duty to stop the atrocities, but the leaders of the Western world, particularly the United States and Europe, also share responsibility by providing support that enables Israel’s acts of destruction. It is the duty of the international community to stop the genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza.
On social media, we are seeing footage of people buried under bombed-out buildings, displaced persons’ camps on fire, children starving, people desperate for water, and hospitals left unable to treat the injured and the sick.
As a human rights organization it is our duty and responsibility to say the truth: Genocide is happening, right here and right now.
This is our genocide, and we need to stop it.

BREAKING: Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir says PM Benjamin Netanyahu is “morally bankrupt” for ALLOWING aid into Gaza and demands the complete starvation of Palestinians.
This is not a redeemable society.
How 🇮🇱 gets away with genocide:
1. Israel makes false claims to justify war crimes
2. Western media and officials treat as fact
3. Palestinians tell you what’s really happening but get ignored
4. Israeli lies debunked after damage has been done
5. No accountability
6. Repeat 1-5
Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.
IDF claims it'll allow airdropping 7 pallets of food on Gaza tonight
That means less than a single truckload, which means less than 6.25 grams of food per person (less than a single rice cracker)
It's less than 0.2% of what Gaza needs for basic survival
A PR stunt!
HAPPENING NOW:
The Handala Freedom Flotilla is surrounded by 8 Israeli warships.
“We are unarmed. We carry only food, medicine, and baby formula for the children of Gaza.”
“We pose no threat to you.
“Do not attack us. Do not board our vessel.”
I’ve been monitoring Israeli WhatsApp and Telegram groups, including IDF and government ones today, as well as public social media. Defenders of Israel are aghast at the torrent of verified reports. They have no answers to the charges. Many are expressing resignation that Israel will face horrific consequences. Good.
“F*ck your aid!”
New and shocking:
10 children between the ages of 15 and 17 were released after the were abducted by the israeli forces near GHF site in Rafah last month.
They were subjected to horror and starvation for 30 days.
He repeatedly lied about Hamas stealing aid, and denied Israel killed Palestinians seeking aid, on Western media.
Stop platforming genocide propagandists.
