People aren't starving in Gaza. You don't need food if you're dead.
Only the IDF soldiers and dead Palestinians aren't starving.
Fuck Israel's lobby
This is being reported as a duplicate, and while it is being posted all over the place, it looks like this is the first time in Politics so it can stay!
At least, it looks like the first TO ME. If the Federated Gods say otherwise, please let me know!
I think it was crossposted to /news but I checked before posting here. Since it's very related to Aimarican Paclitics it seemed relevant.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
More than 31,000 Palestinians have been killed, 2 million have been internally displaced, and hundreds of thousands are at imminent risk of famine, according to the United Nations.
This week, AIPAC convened in Maryland for its annual policy conference, which it uses to marshal its donors and supporters to serve as a grassroots lobbying army in the halls of Congress.
Israel has continued to block the flow of aid to Gaza, despite an order from the United Nations’ International Court of Justice commanding Israel to “take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.” In February, the United Nations reported that more than 40 percent “of aid missions in Gaza to areas requiring coordination were denied or impeded access.”
The situation is so extreme that President Joe Biden has directed the military to airdrop food and supplies to the people of Gaza, and create a temporary port to attempt to deliver more aid, despite supporting the war.
In recent years, it has started spending large sums to influence congressional races and knock pro-Palestine lawmakers out of Congress.
This year, AIPAC is reportedly prepared to spend $100 million to defeat candidates who are “insufficiently supportive of Israel,” according to Politico.

Since February 9, the average number of trucks that entered Gaza daily was about 55, compared with 500 that used to enter before the start of the conflict, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Source
Can’t have anything to do with that. Must be Hamas
