Where is the outrage about the Israeli starvation of Gaza?

Just the most racist and lethal nation on earth.

This story from Humans of New York on life in Gaza broke me. Entire families trying to scrounge up bits of sugar so a 2 yo can have cake for her birthday.

“I’ve closed my social media. From Gaza it’s all bad news: someone’s dying, someone’s been bombed, someone’s been displaced from their home. Then everywhere else in the world, you see things working so smoothly. Everyone is living their lives. Literally the smallest thing that they do: it makes me jealous. The smallest thing, like eating ice cream. This is my favorite food. And I’ve gone two years without any ice cream. I don’t want to feel envious of anyone, so I’m trying not to see it. I’m still trying to treat myself in whatever small ways I can: like doing my hair, or maybe having henna dye on my hands. After work I will try to sit with my sisters, so we can connect, and say about our dreams. One of my dreams is for us all to live on an empty farm, a quiet place outside all the world. Two of our cousins have already passed away in a bombing. Four of my nieces and nephews were injured. I can’t lose anyone else. I can’t, I won’t be able to take it. My family is everything to me. Right now our home is partially destroyed, but we are still living in it. Because we don’t have anywhere else to go. Every day when I come home from work, my two-year old niece is waiting for me at the front door. Her name is Hanan; it means kindness. And when she hugs me it’s like a battery has charged in my heart. Literally all of her life has been in this war. Whenever she hears the sound of a plane, she covers her ears and says: ‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’ She never goes anywhere. She never meets new people. We are her entire world. We do everything we can to protect her, to give her a childhood. Her birthday was two weeks ago. We had dancing all night. There was bombing all around us, but we just turned up the volume and tried to disconnect from all the noise. Sugar is impossible to get in Gaza now; but we gathered all the sugar we could. Everyone contributed. And with this sugar we made a cake, and cinnamon rolls, and sweet tea with mint. Hanan eats nothing but canned food; no snacks, no treats. So when she saw that cake, she started to scream. All the children started to scream; you can’t imagine their joy. It was maybe my best moment ever, in all of the war.”

Weam’s story is part of a series featuring the Palestinian staff of Médecins Sans Frontières / MSF (Doctors Without Borders) in Gaza, which I will be sharing over the next several days.

José Andrés visits Gaza team as WCK prepares to scale up to one million meals a day
Chef José Andrés was in Gaza today visiting World Central Kitchen teams at one of our high-capacity field kitchens, a bakery, and two facilities in the Deir al-Balah area. José met with local team members who have led efforts to keep the organization cooking in the face of widespread hunger and severely limited aid.

I pray the IDF doesn’t mark him for one of their sniper rounds.

Him or his local team members will probably get bombed. The IDF will then investigate themselves and conclude it was an accident.

If American Jews continue to support AIPAC, what do you deem to be the consequences? That is the question.

I'd say register AIPAC as a foreign agent (which it is).
No one with ANY dual citizenship of ANY country can serve in ANY level of government

I think that is the answer- aipac IS a lobbying arm of a foreign government and no us citizens who have dual nationality should work in government. I say this as a dual national.

I’ve seen this statement a lot on this page and it makes me wonder, when people say this are they talking about those who hold citizenship from both Israel and the United States or are they talking about American citizens who are Jewish? Because those two things are not the same but more and more I’m beginning to feel that people don’t understand that very real difference.

People understand the difference. The former is the issue regardless of the country behind both.
