If one wants to put a face on barbarism, war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and the zionist cabal around him are the perfect fit. Since October 2023, the zionist war criminals have indulged in the genocide of Palestinians, mostly women and children. Almost the entire Gaza Strip has been destroyed by US-supplied bombs and missiles. These continue without let up.

Now a more cynical ploy has been introduced: the so-called aid distribution points, through what is euphemistically called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). There is nothing humanitarian about GHF.

Its distribution points are essentially killing fields. Statistics speak for themselves. Since they were started in May, more than 900 Palestinians have been killed and another 6,000 injured seeking food aid.

The US regime is fully complicit in this planned slaughter as it has been in the zionists’ genocidal war on the Palestinians since the beginning. The US provides every kind of weapon in its arsenal. There is also an endless supply of money to the parasitical zionist entity. Further, diplomatic cover is provided through the UN Security Council where repeated calls for a ceasefire have been vetoed by the US.

The US-zionist duo want war, not peace. The Europeans are part of this diabolical plot to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from Gaza through genocide and starvation.

Zionist Israel has blockaded the entire Gaza Strip since March 2 and refused to allow any food, water or medicines to enter. The aim is to make life so miserable for Palestinians that they will be forced to leave.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has issued an urgent call for the immediate lifting of Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip. It has warned that tens of thousands of lives remain at risk as food and vital humanitarian supplies remain trapped outside the besieged territory.

UNRWA’s warehouses in Egypt hold enough food stockpiles to feed the entire population of Gaza for more than three months. Zionist blockade is preventing their entry. The UN agency also has the logistical capabilities to deliver this food immediately and distribute it among those in need. This means virtually the entire two million population of Gaza, or what has survived the genocide so far.

UNRWA issued an urgent call: “Open the gates, lift the siege, allow UNRWA to do its work and help people in need—among them one million children.” Other international organizations, including the World Health Organization and UNICEF, have also repeatedly described the enclave’s conditions as catastrophic and unsustainable and have issued similar appeals.

What is holding food, water and medicine delivery is the ass-like stubbornness of the indicted war criminal Netanyahu and his genocidal zionist allies. They would rather starve the Palestinians to death than allow any food delivery to them.

On July 20, four-year-old Razan Abu Zahir lost her life due to severe malnutrition and lack of baby food, in Deir al Balah, Gaza. Her distraught parents looked on helplessly. Razan became the 76 child to die of hunger and malnutrition. Gaza’s Health Ministry said on July 20 that 86 Palestinian have died due to hunger and malnutrition.

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) said on X that approximately 50,000 women in Gaza “haven’t eaten for days.” It issued a grave warning over the dire conditions faced by tens of thousands of pregnant and breastfeeding women in Gaza, as extreme hunger continues to jeopardize their health and the survival of their newborns.

Even with such barbaric practices that are fully documented, the collective west continues to support the zionists. Apart from issuing vacuous statements, they refuse to take any concrete steps to stop the genocidal zionist maniacs .This is raw racism and reflects the collective west’s complicity in zionist crimes.

The zionists are repeating the European colonialists’ practice against indigenous communities in North America and Australia two centuries ago. The zionist colonialists are illegal squatters from Europe, east and west, as well as Russia and North America.

So far, the Palestinians in Gaza have refused to be pushed out of the tiny enclave despite the horrific conditions they are subjected to. Parents are forced to witness their children dying of starvation before their eyes.

Will the zionists succeed in their policy of ethnic cleansing through genocide? The International Commission to Support Palestinian Rights (HaShd) has accused the zionist colonial entity of intentionally deepening humanitarian and social crises in Gaza. The aim is to create internal chaos, incite civil conflict, and dismantle the fabric of Palestinian society. This is what amounts to genocide. The identity of an entire groups is being erased.

The zionists are also using criminal gangs to fight Palestinian resistance forces. This indicates that despite their massive military power, the zionists have failed to defeat the resistance. This has intensified the demoralization of the zionist occupation forces. Suicides have escalated among Israeli soldiers.

Citing Israel’s Walla news site, the Middle East Monitor reported a sharp rise in suicides among soldiers. These were attributed to the intense stress associated with Israel’s military operations in Gaza. Military data cited by the Walla news site reported that some soldiers involved in killing Palestinians during their 300- day-long military deployment in Gaza have suffered psychological trauma.

While suicide among Israeli soldiers may be a positive development that is also causing many reservists to refuse to report for duty because they are being called so frequently, the impact on Palestinians is infinitely worse. Gaza’s Ministry of Health has documented 58,895 killed and 140,980 injured since October 2023. These are based on deaths registered at hospitals.

The actual death toll is much higher. Even Israeli sources, such as Ha’aretz newspaper, said in a June 26 report that the death toll has surpassed 100,000. This, too, does not reflect the complete picture. In July 2024, the British medical journal, The Lancet, reported that their estimates put the death toll in Gaza as high as 186,000. That was a year ago.

Since then, the death toll has definitely increased significantly. In the four-month period between March 18, 2025, and July 20, 2025, a total of 8,066 Palestinians were killed and 28,939 injured. These are exceedingly high figures.

Gaza’s health system has virtually collapsed. Of the tiny enclaves 36 hospitals, only 19 are functioning, but only partially. They are unable to treat the rising number of patients suffering from hunger-related complications as well as injuries suffered as a result of Israeli bombings. These are compounded by Israel’s restrictions on food, water and medicine from entering the enclave.

In announcing that the health system in Gaza has completely collapsed, Gaza’s Health Ministry appealled to international and humanitarian organizations to take immediate action and pressure the Israeli regime to allow the entry of food and medical supplies. Unfortunately, international organizations have failed to take any action, thereby making them complicit, together with western regimes, in crimes against humanity. The blood of Palestinian children and women is as much on the hands of the western regimes a it is on the hands of the zionist war criminals.
