5. It's an old and effective war strategy.

You destroy the enemy's food and water supplies, to weaken them.

Indiscriminate but effective.

But then, Israel has effectively declared everyone in Gaza as legitimate targets. They are all HAMAS, or HAMAS sympathisers, or HAMAS supporters, or future HAMAS fighters, right?
All the women, children, the men of any age, all seen as legitimate targets for violent death or slow death through starvation, lack of medical care, etc.

World Media . . . mostly crickets - out of the news cycle, it's become 'normalised'.
No room, there was an election in the UK, storms in the Carribean - all needs reporting instead!

The question isn't whether this is genocide or not, because it clearly is - the question is . . . does the rest of the world have the guts to stop Bibi now, and hold him accountable later?
