Israel is continuing to use starvation as a method of warfare, a war crime, and as a tool to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
The harrowing suffering of starving Palestinians in Gaza, including our own colleagues, on an hourly basis, is exacerbated by Israel’s cruel and devastating militarised non-neutral ‘aid distribution’ system. Over 800 people have been killed trying to access aid. This must stop now.
Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza must end now. Israel must immediately lift all restrictions on the entry of aid, reinstate the UN system of aid distribution and allow unfettered, safe, and dignified access to humanitarian aid throughout Gaza immediately. States must stop their inertia and urgently act to ensure Israel fully complies with international law.
With the world looking elsewhere, the militarization of aid adds another layer to Israel’s deliberate imposition of genocidal conditions against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and injured at or near aid distribution points since Israel’s weaponized “humanitarian” aid distribution system was imposed at the end of May.
Families are being forced into an impossible choice: die of hunger or die trying to get food. Seeking food should never be a death trap. Israel must end its genocide and lift the blockade now.

Some of the worst crimes in history were committed in the name of fictional stories that people believed. Very few wars are about objective material things: it’s when people can’t agree on the story that conflict arises. How can we create good common stories that benefit people and prevent bad stories that cause huge misery? First, we need to understand that humans like us created the stories – so we can also change them.

Mass identities are based on fictional stories, not on scientific facts. Nowadays, much of the division of humans into massive groups still depends on religious myths. So in the 21st century religions don’t bring rain, they don’t cure illnesses, they don’t build bombs – but they do get to determine who are ‘us’ and who are ‘them’, who should we cure and who should we bomb. Most religions have a lot in common, but they are too often weaponized to generate division and conflict.

Money has no intrinsic value. Sam Bankman-Fried, Elizabeth Holmes and Bernie Madoff were extremely capable storytellers, unfortunately. What would it mean for human beings to live in a world where most of the stories, melodies, images, laws, policies and tools are shaped by a non-human, alien intelligence – which knows how to exploit our weaknesses, biases and addictions with super-human efficiency? And also knows how to form deep, intimate relationships with human beings?
