(61,033 posts)1. So you're saying that starvation never happens n Gaza?
        Please. That's about as believable as Holocaust denial.

(11,334 posts)2. I don't find it significant that a journalist publishing photos of starvation
        also posts "anti-Israel" content.
Beyond that, (1) there is ample testimony of atrocities committed by Israel from medical personnel who have treated victims in Gaza, and (2) if Israel's actions in Gaza are humane and justified, why won't they let journalists in?  Why prohibit anyone from sending in drones, or even flying over except at altitudes too high to confirm what's going on beyond the destroyed infrastructure?

(11,461 posts)4. Disgusting to pretend there isn't starvation. I suppose all the photos of decimated cities are fake too.
