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.

A photo essay by Humaira Ahad / PressTV

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.

Zionists Made Genocide Cheap.

Amid Gaza’s deepening humanitarian crisis, Israels Zionist regime and the United States have turned hunger into a weapon and aid centers into slaughterhouses, where a loaf of bread is pursued at the risk of death.

Gaza genocide:

653 Days

The Forbidden List: The Epstein Case.

[text and graphic by Revellati / translation by Kagi]

Why haven't they released Epstein's list?

Because, let's be honest... Do you really think anyone on that list would make it public? The reason is simple: they're all involved. Politicians, businessmen, artists, people with so much power they can erase evidence, change stories, and buy silence.

Epstein wasn't just a rich man with an island. He was a key piece of something much bigger: a network of manipulation, blackmail, and human trafficking serving an elite.

Everything was documented. Every visit, every name, every "favor." That wasn't filmed for fun... it was to have control. And now that everything has come to light, what did they do? They silenced him. Literally. And the list... disappeared like "magic."

The media stays silent. The judges don't act. The "activists" look the other way. Because that list isn't just a piece of paper, it's a bomb. A bomb that, if it explodes, drags half the planet's "leaders" down with it.

So no, don't expect to see it. Because when power investigates itself... it all ends in nothing.

Revelations: July 4, 2025. Focus On The Middle East.

"It is not a war in Gaza. It is people in captivity being destroyed."

From Mondoweiss: "A Hebrew University poll shows an overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis share genocidal belief that there are ‘no innocent people in Gaza’. 64% of Israelis agree with this statement, almost two out of three. But it is actually considerably higher among Jewish Israelis, because that number is heavily weighted by Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. Palestinians make up about 20% of the Israeli population and 92% of them oppose the statement, so that leaves Jewish Israelis with overwhelming support."

They then state, "All of Israeli society is radicalized and overwhelmingly supports genocide." As proof, Mondoweiss republished a social media post by Ayelet Shaked, who would later become a Justice Minister, that demonstrates a typical mindset among Israelis:

“Who is the enemy? The Palestinian people. Why? Ask them, they started [….] Behind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. Actors in the war are those who incite in mosques, who write the murderous curricula for schools, who give shelter, who provide vehicles, and all those who honor and give them their moral support. They are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.”  

Mondoweiss concludes by saying, "Genocidal thinking has always been a part of the Zionist project in one way or another, fueled by its settler-colonial logic of elimination."

Sadly, Israel has in large part become a society of psychopaths, hellbent on dominating the Middle East and feeling no empathy toward anyone who gets in their way. Woman and children are nothing but annoying obstacles and targets to shoot at by IDF soldiers with black hearts.

The post above highlights a story found on Haaretz, a newspaper in Israel. It describes how IDF soldiers were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. This is just another example of how Israel has no regard for the sanctity of life.

Shown above is a quote by Rabbi Mani Friedman, who said, "The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way. Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women, and children." No person with a spiritual connection to the divine could make such a horrible statement, but we frequently hear similar remarks coming from Israel.

If you need further proof, this video was recently released. It shows IDF soldiers raping a Palestinian woman to death. They had protests the week after when they were told not to rape anymore. This isn't sane behavior. It's the behavior of psychopaths, or possibly even the demonically possessed. And if it happened anywhere other than Israel, the world's leaders would condemn it. Instead, it's ignored, and for mentioning it here I'll most likely be called an "antisemite". That's the standard attack levied at anyone who exposes Israel's crimes.

Although psychopathic behavior seems to be common in Israel, this is not an indictment against every Israeli. The insanity is mostly exhibited by the Zionist population, but unfortunately they're in the majority. There are sane voices in Israel among the Christians, Muslims, and Orthodox Jews who also live there, but their voices are rarely heard above the noise of the Zionists.

Nate Bear of Do Not Panic! over on Substack has just written an article entitled, 'The Best-Selling Apps Made By Israeli Spies'. He reveals that many of the apps available for both Android and Apple phones are coming from companies in Israel or from companies led by former Unit 8200 Israeli intelligence personnel. Nate writes: "The developers behind hundreds of Android and iPhone apps with billions of downloads are former Israeli spies whose apps are generating significant revenues for Israel’s genocidal war economy. The proliferation of these apps on Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store also raises questions over privacy and the harvesting of personal data, given the reputation of Israeli technology and past scandals involving spyware being smuggled onto devices by apps made in Israel. The identification of these apps should add another frontier to the boycott, divest, sanctions movement, as it provides a straightforward way for ordinary people to avoid Israeli products that contribute to apartheid, genocide and ethnic cleansing."

I found this graphic (above) in a Telegram group. It seems like a good time to republish it since we just narrowly avoided World War 3 after Israel illegally attacked Iran, followed by a reckless and equally illegal attack by the United States under the command of Donald Trump. The justification for it all is the false claim that Iran has nuclear weapons that it plans to use to destroy Israel. This same claim has been pushed by Benjamin Netanyahu and various American war-hawks for decades despite intelligence data showing that Iran isn't actively building a nuclear bomb. Of course, with Israel as a neighbor, having such a bomb wouldn't be a bad idea. Israel has nukes, and it's often threatened to use them. But they don't want anyone else to have one.

For the sake of clarity in this age of endless propaganda, the graphic shows the differences between Israel and Iran and lets you decide which nation is the greater threat. I'm not suggesting that Iran has honorable intentions, but of the two nations, only one has repeatedly proven that it can't be trusted. (one revision: since this graphic was made, in response to Israel's illegal attacks, Iran has stopped cooperating with nuclear inspections.)

The whole "Iran can't have nukes" narrative has gotten so ridiculous it's even being talked about on Mastodon. Matthew Sheffield writes:

"Breaking: Despite Trump's bombing, Iran is still just weeks away from building a nuclear weapon - just like it has been for the past 30 years."

Here's a bit of history most Americans know nothing about: On July 3, 1988, Iran Air civilian flight 655 was shot down by the USS Vincennes over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people on board, including 66 children and 16 women. The United States was not at war with Iran. After many denials and coverups, the United States eventually admitted fault and paid $61.8 million to the victims’ families. To learn more about the incident, go to Encyclopaedia Britannica.

As horrible as the world may seem at the moment, we have to keep talking about it and exposing the evil, no matter who is responsible. Because as Tolstoy said, "The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated".

Freedom Wasn't Lost. It Was Taken Before You Could Speak.

You were born sovereign. Then they gave you a name, a number, a flag, and a master to serve. Freedom wasn't lost. It was taken before you could speak.

Never Forget Their Excuses for Lockdowns.

story by John Tamney / image by Alexandra Koch

The worst arguments against the lockdowns inspired by the coronavirus were medical and statistical. To see why, it’s worth remembering that as humans we’ve evolved to protect ourselves from death and disease. The taking of freedom to protect us is always and everywhere excess. 

The above statement of the obvious requires mention as free thinkers and free-thinking organizations continue to either ignore how they sat out the lockdowns, or worse, excuse their inaction amid a massive bludgeoning of freedom back in 2020. Let’s start with those trying to excuse their inaction.

The not-infrequently offered excuse is that since most organizations and individuals in the libertarian space either weren’t staffed by medical doctors or weren’t medical doctors themselves, how could they have made credible cases against the lockdowns? Instead, and rather than take a stand, they adopted “wait and see” approaches so that medical verdicts could be rendered. About those verdicts, some libertarian types are now saying that those who were publicly against the lockdowns back in 2020 were correct, but they made their cases obnoxiously and blindly given their lack of medical knowledge. The only response to this kind of dissembling is nonsense, utter nonsense. See this write-up’s introductory paragraph to see why.

Just as the worst arguments against the lockdowns were medical and statistical, the medical and statistical arguments made in favor of lockdowns were, if possible, even worse. As stated above, no one requires force to avoid sickness or death. About this point, more on it in a bit.

For now, it should just be said that even if the medical consensus had been correct, that millions and millions of Americans would die absent being forced out of work and into their homes, then any lockdown orders foisted on us by nail-biting politicians would have read as tame relative to the precautions taken by free people. The more threatening anything is, the more superfluous is any kind of policy reaction to the threat.

The simple, overwhelming truth is that people should never have their individual freedom to protect themselves taken from them, period. End of story.

Applying the previous assertion to organizations like Cato, Students for Liberty, and others that seemingly took a “wait and see” approach to the lockdowns, their stances were wrongheaded. Lest they or readers forget, the organizations mentioned were founded on the notion of individual freedom as the foremost ideal. In which case a “wait and see what the science or medical establishment says” is dangerously wrong.

It is simply because, as Brownstone Institute founder Jeffrey Tucker has pointed out, politicians at the local, state, and national levels did not take a “wait and see” approach. That they didn’t calls into serious question organizations and individuals sitting on their hands. How could they? Since we know government will never wait and see on anything, what an odd excuse or piece of internal reasoning to explain away a lack of action. It implies that freedom should always be the loser in times of uncertainty, or when politicians are feeling particularly hysterical. 

At which point it should be said that freedom is easily the best way to turn the unknowns and uncertainty into true knowledge. So, while libertarian groups and individuals who sat out the lockdowns should reflexively defend freedom every time government is in the process of taking it, it’s useful to add that free people crucially produce information.

Which brings us back to the earlier assertion in this write-up that people don’t need to be forced to avoid sickness or death. Some no doubt responded as they read the latter that some people would in fact have lived, worked, and run their businesses without regard to a spreading virus. To which the answer here can only be precisely.

Precisely because free people will respond in all manner of ways (including disdain) to fears driven by unknowns, we need them to be free. Without millions of different responses, or realistically hundreds of millions of different responses in the US, people (including “experts”) will be blinded to the truth about whatever it is that threatens us, or not. Since free people once again produce information, the only answer to uncertainty about what we don’t know is freedom. 

It’s just something to keep in mind in the here and now. Four years ago this month, over 40 million Americans lost their jobs, and hundreds of millions around the world found themselves hurtling toward starvation amid a global panic among politicians. Shamefully and tragically, some of the foremost organizations and individuals devoted to liberty sat out the tragedy and seemingly defend their inaction to this day by hiding behind medicine, science, and a lack of information. The excuses and internal justifications are wholly insufficient. Freedom is its own always and everywhere virtue, period.
