Israel’s war in Gaza has created a humanitarian catastrophe, with half of the population of about 2.2 million at risk of starvation and 90 percent saying that they regularly go without food for a whole day, the United Nations said in a recent report.

Arif Husain, chief economist at the World Food Program, said the humanitarian disaster in Gaza was among the worst he had ever seen. The territory appears to meet at least the first criteria of a famine, with 20 percent of the population facing an extreme lack of food, he said.

It's pretty incredible how Hamas managed to take over the Illuminati board of directors and now dictates all global affairs, persistant folks!

No Israel apologist has been able to confront this moral atrocity -- when the response is greater in magnitude than the original terrorist attack.

No Israel apologist can confront the fact that so many have lived under seige with a Life In Prison sentence and they're just supposed to cave.

No Israel apologist has been able to explain how killing this many civilians and destroying their homes is actually going to reduce terrorism and not increase radicalization.

You know you're fucked when Robert McNamara of all people spells out how you're wrong when he said, "proportionality should be a guideline to war."
