    The Spin


    Israel's aid distribution plans have already proved to be ineffective, and it's is now becoming clear that famine is taking hold in parts of Gaza. Allowing in a token amount of aid will not significantly improve the humanitarian situation. Indeed, both sides need to make concessions so that the ceasefire can be fully implemented and the hostages arecan be returned.

    The U.N. and other Hamas enablers continue to spread the lie that Israel has purposefully caused a famine in Gaza. The IPC changed its definition of a famine just so it could falsely claim that one is happening in Gaza. Of course, aid distribution is a problem, but that's is because Hamas keeps attacking aid convoys to cynically steal food for itself. Indeed,The the problem, like it has been since day one, is Hamas and its enablers.

    It should be clear after almost two years of grinding brutality that Israel's true goal is to destroy Gaza and starve its people. Indeed, famine is an integral part of Israel's genocidal campaign. Children are quite literally starving to death in their mothers' arms, yet the United States and the international community have failed to end this travesty.
