Israel allowed nine trucks of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza on a completely flawed premise in which the international community is completely complicit. Since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the international community has selected which actions to condemn, and the starvation policy took precedence even over the so-called humanitarian pauses.

Looking at the bigger picture, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strategically decided it would be better to placate international uneasiness with starving people to death, knowing that there would be no condemnation of other means of ethnic cleansing Israel will use. The Israeli government has made no secret of its intention to colonise Gaza, and the international community is only concerned about Palestinians starving to death.  Killed by other means does not feature in international concern, especially when the international community keeps genocide out of the equation.

Instead of genocide, the Western leaders speak of ‘the situation’.
