In Gaza, Hunger Has Overtaken Bombs as Israel’s Cruelest Weapon
Jul 30, 2025
Story by Heba Almaqadma
The deprivation from starvation and siege is visible upon people’s faces. People are looking hollow-eyed and tired. We are suffering not just from hunger, but from abandonment. Palestinians have been turned into symbols of suffering and defiance, whereas what we want is not only to survive, but also to truly live and feel alive once more. Instead, as the whole world watches, for nearly two years we have been brutally murdered and tormented in the most horrific and innovative ways that a human mind can devise.
As intended.
It's been clear for some time now that this was their goal - it's why they've systematically destroyed infrastructure and especially hospitals, why they drove aid organizations out and shut down all the border crossings, why they packed the Palestinians into the smallest possible space and why they actively prevent aid from entering.
They want to kill as many Palestinians as possible while still hiding behind the illusion that they're anything other than profoundly evil, so instead of just engaging in the mass executions they'd undoubtedly prefer given the opportunity, they're relying on starvation and disease to do their killing for them.
Deliberately, and with malice aforethought.
