The UN declares for the first time that a “man-made” famine is occurring in Gaza City.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has given its first-ever declaration of famine in a Middle Eastern country, stressing that it can be reversed as it is totally man-made.

Oh, it's definitely a genocide and starvation is explicitly being used as a weapon by Israel.

I'm just saying that almost all famines have some State with blood on their hands.

@quick_snail
Posting moments like that is just a sad way of taking Away the horrors of ongoing genocide.

It's at minimum stupid and insensitive, at worst, whataboutism and making distraction from the crimes of Israel
