Netanyahu denies Palestinians are starving
(www.politico.eu)
Fucking how?
Shamelessness, mostly.
This is a guy who has spent 20 years insisting that every terrible thing that happened under his control didn't happen, wasn't his fault, and was proof of what would happen if he wasn't in power.
They just massacre all the starving people.
It's easy when you don't consider them people
There’s fools all over Reddit and lemmy saying the same thing. I had a guy argue that because in 2011 60% we’re overweight in Gaza, that means today no one is starving.
I support Israel right to defend itself.
But seriously, fucking how. Even the most die hard Israeli supporters know Palestinians are starving, that civilians suffering happens in modern warfare, that hamas has been hiding in critical infrastructure that has been destroyed to root them out, and no matter who started what Palestine civilians are paying the cost.
screw nethanyahoo his days are numbered 80+% of israelis despise him, if they held erections now people would throw him not only out of power but also into a prison cell
You might want to take a HARD look at your comment and check some of your spelling.
wdym? he wants nathan yahoo's erections held what's so hard to understand?
I see it now. Must have flown right over my HEAD.
Normally I won’t pick on spelling or grammar. We are typing on phones but that had some funny ones I didn’t notice.
Same, especially on such a serious topic.
Elections were held less than two years ago, and his party Likud, which already held the most seats in parliament, actually gained two more. With the other two right-wing parties, they hold 57% of seats.
Like it or not, Israelis haven't rejected him, they've endorsed him. I'm sure recent opinion polls would confirm this too.
Fascists will fascist
Maybe he was just misquoted and actually said that Palestinians aren't starving enough.
I fail to see the benefit of saying blatant lies. Exactly what does Bibi think he can gain by doing this if his government keeps being debunked for more and more of its false statements?
This man really is dragging everything and everyone down for his own political power.
He's shown he can invade Gaza and commit genocide against Palestinians. His losses are minimal. Why would he stop?
It works.
He has his power centers. Despite so many people constantly saying "he's finished", he remains very much in control.
He says the thing that he believes will illicit the right reaction from the people who matter. Since he's unhindered by shame and his instincts are usually right, he's been a demonstration in successfully achieving unthinkable things. He's terribly evil, but one of the best in the world at it.
How many people believe all the easily disproven bullshit that was coming out of trumps mouth during his presidency? Its not for us, its for his base.
I'm generally pro Israel in outlook, but the sooner that old cunt dies the better. The world would be a better place if Bibi had been assassinated rather than Rabin.
Same, and civilians suffering is a part of modern conflict.
But saying they aren't starving - thats on the "no you" level of self defense.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Paul Ronzheimer is the deputy editor-in-chief of BILD and a senior journalist reporting for Axel Springer, the parent company of POLITICO.
TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied people are starving in Gaza and blamed Hamas for the lack of humanitarian aid entering the occupied territory.
The United Nations warns that famine is imminent, with the organization’s expert on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, accusing Israel of starving Gazans deliberately.
Our policies are to put in as much humanitarian aid as we could,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Axel Springer, POLITICO’s parent company.
The group has deep roots in Gaza, meaning some food and medical aid given to civilians inevitably ends up with the fighters Israel is trying to eradicate.
Asked why more aid isn’t reaching Gaza by land, Netanyahu said: “Hamas is coming at gunpoint and stealing the food.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
