Holodomor means Death by Hunger

It was inflicted on Ukraine in 1932 by Lazar Kaganovich

It is now being inflicted on Gaza by Benjamin Mileikowsky, Bezalel Smotrich, and Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The 1930s famine was not intentional nor inflicted. Mismanagement did play a part, like the Ukrainian communists hiding how bad it was getting, delaying aid, but it wasn't a deliberate effort to starve Ukrainians. The origins of the famine were poor harvests due to adverse weather conditions. The origins of such a story of forced starvation came from the Nazi newspaper Völkischer Beobachter in 1933, and the term "Holodomor" was invented in the 1980s to draw direct comparison to the holocaust.

This is in stark contrast to the very real and deliberate starvation of Palestinians by the fascist Zionists. Starvation is a tried and tested tool for settler-colonialism, and there is mountains of evidence backing up both why and how this is happening. Directly comparing the two makes a mockery of the real deliberate genocide of Palestinians.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
