When Genocide Is Managed Through Starvation

Genocide in Gaza is no longer carried out by bombs alone.

Today, it is orchestrated with cold calculation —

through a sinister engineering of slow death.

Dozens of trucks enter loaded with soda, chips, and chocolate,

while real food is blocked,

medicine is denied,

vitamins disappear,

and infant formula becomes a distant hope.

Hunger is fed with chocolate.

Suffering is numbed with illusion.

And bodies waste away in silence.

Gaza now pays the price in the flesh of its children:

▪️ Malnutrition devouring childhood,

▪️ Anemia draining the faces of mothers,

▪️ Early miscarriages stealing life before it begins,

▪️ Premature babies born fighting for every breath,

▪️ And congenital anomalies rising to unprecedented levels —

as if even the womb has become a battlefield.

This is not a food crisis.

It is a calculated policy of starvation.

Not a passing health disaster,

but a new chapter of genocide —

this time without explosions,

committed slowly, quietly,

with soft tools that kill in silence.

In Gaza,

even food has become a weapon,

and even aid trucks…

may carry slow death disguised as life.

Two more infants have died in Gaza today due to the extreme cold weather, bringing the total to 6 children who died due to hypothermia since November.

This is not arbitrary. This cold is not a natural disaster. These deaths, each one of them, were deliberate and calculated by Israel.

The issue is not that families in Gaza are living in tents. The issue is that Israel destroyed 92% of Gaza's homes in the span of 15 months. The issue is that Israel is continuing to block mobile homes and reconstruction materials from entering Gaza. The issue is that Israel has placed Gaza under total siege since 2007.

Focus.

Currently, Patagonia is once again the victim of a forest fire that broke out on January 5 in El Hoyo, Chubut. It destroyed several homes, forcing thousands of people to evacuate immediately, while more than 2,000 hectares have been lost and protected native species are being burned alive.

Sofía Cerella, president of the El Hoyo Volunteer Firefighters Association, reported that they have not received any kind of contact from the national government for help. Keep in mind that there's a "lack of resources", however, they didn't have any kind of problem last year with sending aid to Israel to combat forest fires in Jerusalem, but now 69% of the budget for the National Fire Management Service (SNMF) has been cut.

Javier Milei's government accuse an alleged Mapuche "terrorist group" as the main suspects in starting the fire. However, a video circulating on social media shows a local man confronting a israeli "tourist" trying to start a fire inside a protected area.

This is no coincidence, as there is a long history of fires or attempted fires by isreali "tourists".

Nobody in their right mind would ever believe that indigenous people would ever try to damage their own lands, lands that are sacred to them—not after the fact that presence of israeli military forces in the area has long been denounced as they arrive on our lands under the guise of "tourists".

All resources come from the volunteers' own pockets, leaving them without money to even buy food for themselves as everything is invested in resources to fight the fire and it doesn't stop there: Argentine police officers are under orders not to allow fire trucks and volunteer firefighters to pass through to extinguish the fire.

They are sabotaging the aid‼️

for the people who believe that when we say "american imperialism" we mean vietnam and iraq and thats the whole of it. most of these were massively devastating btw. and the military interventions are only a fraction of all that they have done and continue to do regardless of who is president

reminder that gazafunds is a great website.

each time you load the site, it shows one randomly selected, verified fundraiser that's low on funds.

extremely straightforward, & an easy to remember url. it's my go-to when I'm able to give; removes any room for procrastination or overthinking.

sorry for being annoying [remembers that practicing gratitude instead of shame is better for my mental health and my relationships] thank you for letting me be annoying with you

I will not forgive those who see this cry, yet walk away in silence, knowing a single word or action could have meant life for my child.

I am writing this through tears. I cannot endure this anymore. Qais’s wound is bleeding again, soaking bandages, draining his tiny body, while I wait helplessly for mercy, help, and donations.

Silence kills more than bombs tonight. If you are reading this, please speak, share, donate anything you can. Your action now could keep my child alive and breathing tomorrow still here.

may 2026 bring us closer to a Palestine liberated from zionist occupation, and a Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan free from proxy exploitation. May 2026 see more people gain the courage to make the world a little better than before. May we all remember to tend seeds whose trees we may never sit beneath. Consider donating to/sharing The Sameer Project, or Khartoum Aid Kitchen or Focus Congo. All power to all the people. Happy new year.
