A leading global authority on famine on Monday accused Israel of orchestrating a carefully planned campaign of mass starvation in the Gaza Strip, remarks that came amid a steadily rising death toll from malnutrition caused by the 654-day U.S.-backed Israeli siege and obliteration of the Palestinian enclave.

      But we must not forget teh USA’s (and allies) role in its creation, and ongoing support. Their “base of Western civilization” in “the enemy’s” territory.

        Never forget that this time around the Holocaust has the full support of the US, the UK and (once again) Germany.
