    As per usual @gwb-trading attempts to substantiate his weak theories quoting from Israeli sources.

    We go round and round and round with this troll, with the constant spreading of lies from Israeli media.

    Now that the genocide is unfolding as many of us saw from the start, he's scrambling to reposition, moving away from his earlier full-throated support for Israel without ever admitting his judgment was utterly shite.

    But the thing is, he’s not even trying to convince us. We know what we know. He’s performing for the casual onlookers, desperate to manage how he appears to a vaporous audience. His self-worth depends on keeping up the illusion. This is pretty common with American guys, self-worth is weighted differently to the rest of the English speaking world.

    American/Christian/Evangelical/Jewish ongoing support for Israel is an eye opener to how corrupt their minds are.
    But the UK is in there too supporting the genocide.

    Well, duh... if you have to go deep into Gaza to rescue hostages held by a terrorist group then it is likely some of the hostages will die. So Donald, tell us what the alternatives are. After all you claim to be a "very stable genius", surely you have a solution.

    Trump: We know where some hostages are, some of them will die if we go in
    Starmer said Hamas can play no part in any future government of a Palestinian state, as he discussed the need for a ceasefire in Gaza with Trump during a meeting in Scotland.

    Yes, the UK too involved, there are so many strategically positioned individuals supporting Israel’s interests. My daughter and her friend are actually using the same legal instruments the Israel lobby once helped shape/pervert liberty to now pursue action against a couple of Hasbara bullies.

    It’s been very eye-opening for all of us. I used to work as a contractor for the UK police, so I had contacts I could call for advice, no time wasted on guesswork.

    I still have Jewish friends, thoughtful, decent people who don’t support Zionist extremism. I’ve come to realise that this shared outlook might be why we connected in the first place long before any of this.

    ‘No starvation in Gaza’: Israel’s big claim

    Andrew Tillett Foreign affairs, defence correspondent, Australia, Jul 28, 2025
    https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/no-starvation-in-gaza-israel-s-big-claim-20250728-p5mib3

    One of Israel’s top local diplomats says claims of starvation in Gaza are being fabricated by terror group Hamas for propaganda, as he rejected Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s accusation the Netanyahu government had broken international law over its deadly approach to distributing aid.

    Deputy ambassador to Australia Amir Meron said, “there is enough aid in Gaza” and suggested Israel had increased supplies of food and medicines into the enclave because of global anger over the humanitarian crisis that reached a crescendo last week.
    But he claimed Israel had been committed to increasing aid regardless of the international backlash.

    “It is very important to emphasise that Israel has never acted on a policy of starvation.
    There is no such policy,” Meron said in a briefing for journalists, “We don’t recognise any famine or starvation in the Gaza Strip.
    This is a false campaign that is being led by Hamas, that is taking advantage of sick children in order to show a false claim and false presentation of hunger and starvation in the Gaza Strip.”

    Israel had imposed a blockade on Gaza from March 2, severely curtailing deliveries of aid to the wartorn territory after a ceasefire deal with Hamas collapsed.

    International condemnation of Israel’s denial of aid and the killings of civilians while they lined up at aid posts significantly ramped up last week, with Albanese saying the situation had “gone beyond the world’s worst fears”, claiming Israel had broken international law.

    Other leaders expressed similar sentiments while French President Emmanuel Macron went further and announced Paris would recognise Palestinian statehood to try to revive the Middle East peace process.

    Despite Israel’s denial there was starvation in Gaza, the United Nations and non-government organisations have been warning for several months that Palestinians were going hungry.
    UNICEF said one out of every three people had not eaten for days, and 80 per cent of all reported deaths by starvation are children.
    The UN World Food Program has claimed 470,000 Gazans – just under a quarter of the population – were enduring famine-like conditions and 90,000 women and children were malnourished.

    Médecins Sans Frontières estimates a quarter of children and women screened at its clinics are suffering from malnutrition.

    “We are now enrolling 25 new patients every single day for malnutrition.
    We see the exhaustion and the hunger in our own colleagues,” said Caroline Willemen, project co-ordinator at the MSF clinic in Gaza City.

    Israel has not allowed foreign journalists into Gaza to independently verify the situation.
    But Meron claimed Israel’s monitoring of hospitals and clinics showed people were not starving.
    “We don’t see a crisis or a starvation crisis in the Gaza Strip.
    We have a full unit that is all the time monitoring the humanitarian situation.
    This is not the pictures we see,” he said.
    Despite the insistence there is no starvation, Israel since Saturday has enacted a “humanitarian pause” to bring more aid into Gaza.

    Meron maintained Israel had been working on plans to increase aid irrespective of international opinion and was working on different methods of distribution beyond UN agencies, including creating the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and since the weekend conducting air drops with help from Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

    The Israeli government has claimed new mechanisms were required to distribute aid to avoid Hamas militants from stealing supplies, a claim rejected by the UN and NGOs.

    Not even Trump is believing it...

    Trump acknowledges ‘real starvation’ in Gaza and tells Israel to let in ‘every ounce of food’
