Israel Uses Starvation As An Inhumane Weapon Of War.

"You'll get hell." How Israeli officials justify using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.

Israeli policy in Gaza is using starvation as a weapon of war, with regime officials openly advocating blockade tactics to displace, kill, and exterminate Palestinians.

The faces of starvation: Huda used to run barefoot across the courtyard. Now, she slumps against a wall, too weak to stand. She is one of over a million children enduring Israel's starvation campaign in Gaza.

Hunger as a weapon: This is not accidental. Israel has weaponized food, water, and medicine - turning hunger into a method of war. Over 100 Palestinians - 80 of them children - have already died from starvation and dehydration.

A policy with deep roots: "We'll deprive Gaza of water, and the Arabs will leave." - Levi Eshkol, Israeli Prime Minister, 1967. This policy didn't begin in 2023. It's decades old, and now more explicit than ever.

The 'Calorie Limit' strategy: In 2007 Israeli officials calculated the minimum calories Palestinians needed to avoid famine - then blocked food just above that line. "The idea is to put Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger," said Dov Weissglas, advisor to then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Starvation goes public: Today, Israeli officials no longer hide it.

"Starve the Gazans and impose a siege to the max." - MK Moshe Saada

"The food and aid depots should be bombed in order to create military and political pressure." - Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir

"Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza - no electricity, no water, just damage. You wanted hell, you will get hell." -- Gen. Ghassan Alian

Systematic deprivation: Fuel, food, and water are blocked. UN-cleared trucks are turned back or attacked. Officials brag about cutting off Gaza's lifelines.

"We don't give them food - they will have to leave." - Daniella Weiss

Dehumanization: "They are human animals. No electricity. No water. No gas. We are fighting animals." - Top Israeli Generals and Ministers.

This language is used to justify mass starvation.

Gaza's grim choice: "Stay and starve, or leave." That's the ultimatum. Not for Palestinian resistance fighters, but for over 2 million civilians, half of them children.

This is not war. It is extermination by hunger.

The Way Forward: Thoughts On Staying Free.

The technocratic new world order, a global totalitarian society run by cold computer algorithms, is being put into place all around us this very minute. A system of constant surveillance and total control has been engineered for us, and most people don't even realize the system exists at all. We're being nudged into a digital prison where rules are created by artificial intelligence and punishments are handed out by inhuman decree. Soon, very soon, we'll have no freedom at all, as every action that doesn't contribute to our homogenized communitarian world will result in immediate penalties: lockdowns, isolation, asset seizure, and shame. Sadly, there's no political process that will get us out of this mess. Our elected officials are compromised, blackmailed, and bribed, and no longer represent us. Their allegiance is to the system that will enslave us.

So what do we do? Since we can't vote our way back to freedom and we can't out-gun governments run by crime cartels, the best way forward is non-compliance. Turn your back. Walk away. Just say no to whatever they want you to do. Create you own life and find a community outside of this sick system that wants to own your body and mind. Do whatever it takes to starve that system of money and power. Here are a few quotes to inspire you to do exactly that:

"Mass non-compliance is the only way forward." -- Timo Malum

“It is no longer left versus right. It is authoritarianism versus freedom.” -- Dean Cavanagh 

"Once people sense their own power, no authoritarian government can stand against the people who are determined to be free." -- Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj

“Conform to no inkling ancestral, Conform to no habit historical.
Conform to no force external, Submit only to love universal.” -- Abhijit Naskar,

“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.” -- Henry David Thoreau​

“They know that ten heads lopped off will destroy them, but we are a free people; we have as many heads as we have people.” -- John Steinbeck

“Till you cut ties to all authoritarianism, you'll never sense the spark of holiness.” -- Abhijit Naskar

"Our freedom can be measured by the number of things we can walk away from." -- Vernon Howard

“Your life is a message; make your rebellion an act of art that inspires the world.” -- Vera Nazarian

“Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men.” -- Mortimer Adler

“True freedom will not be granted; it must be seized through acts of rebellion and defiance.” -- James Baldwin

“Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.” -- Mahatma Gandhi

Edward Snowden On Privacy.

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." -- Edward Snowden

Parasites Give You Nothing.

"Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone." - Frédéric Bastiat

You Are Your Best Doctor.

"As a retired physician, I can honestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, your best chance of living to a ripe old age is to avoid doctors and hospitals and learn nutrition, herbal medicine, and other forms of natural medicine unless you're fortunate enough to have a naturopathic physician available. Almost all drugs are toxic and are designed only to treat symptoms and not to cure anyone." -- Dr. Allan Greenberg, MD

An Unjust Parasitic Entity.

"Without voluntary association, no matter how seemingly pure the system of governance, no matter how many checks and balances, the people are basing the entirety of their desires and dreams on faith in the benevolence and infallibility of the state - an inherently immoral and unjust parasitic entity which exists, and is completely dependent on, forcefully and coercively extorting funds from its populace." -- Karl K. Wuckert
