Global Food Insecurity Scale Was Eased in Order to Declare ‘Famine’ in Gaza - "IPC Threshold for Gaza Food Insecurity Lowered: The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) — a standardized scale for classifying food insecurity around the globe coordinated by UN agencies and nongovernmental organizations — quietly altered its methodology for determining famine in its recent report on the Gaza Strip, making it easier to reach the threshold of famine compared with other parts of the world... Used Less Accurate Measurement: The IPC’s July determination included a metric that measured mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), which had not previously been used to determine famine conditions. For previous reports, the organization took height and weight measurements instead — measurements that are more time-consuming than MUAC but more accurate. Using the MUAC measurement, the organization also reduced the threshold to declare famine from 30 percent of children suffering from acute malnutrition to 15 percent.
Hamas Purposely Inflating Malnutrition Death Numbers: The IDF’s Coordination of Government Affairs in the Territories (COGAT) unit released its own report on conditions in Gaza, in which it found that Hamas has been purposely inflating the death toll for malnutrition in an “orchestrated campaign as part of a broader effort to discredit the State of Israel and achieve political gains.”... COGAT also claimed that its case-by-case analysis of the published deaths indicated “that most of those allegedly dying from malnutrition had preexisting medical conditions,” some of whom had even been treated in Israel before the war."
Eitan Fischberger on X - "When I filmed this video from atop Mt. Aid in Gaza, I was looking at 600 trucks’ worth of aid. But now, there are 700 trucks’ worth waiting to be distributed by the UN. The UN won't do it, though, because that might make Israel look good"
Margaret Evans on X - "The UN would rather Gazan children suffer malnutrition (starvation is a lie) than allow Israel to receive any credit for its humanity. Guterres' narrative has always been Israel is a monster and Gazans the victim. Trump must defund it. The UN is an enabler of terror."
Meme - Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby: "BREAKING: Hamas has announced that it will execute four Palestinians tomorrow, one of whom is a woman. Their crime? Getting aid from GHF. Will the media report this? Will anyone even try to stop this?"
"Statement issued by the leadership of the revolutionary and field work in the Thaqib Arrow units. Tomorrow, Saturday, 23/8/2025, the death sentence will be carried out against four agents, one of whom is a woman. Leadership of the revolutionary and field work in the Thaqib Arrow units 22/8/2025"
It's all Israel's fault. If they had let Hamas steal all the aid, this wouldn't have happened
Israel’s latest crime? Feeding the people of Gaza - "the Jewish State, in tandem with the US, has launched the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Its aim is to get foodstuffs and other essentials to the benighted people of the war-ravaged Gaza Strip. You would think the activist class would be pleased at this news. They’ve been renting their garments for months over an alleged tyranny of famine in Gaza, which they say is the worst case of ‘urban starvation’ since ‘the siege of Leningrad’. Alas, you would be wrong. They hate this initiative. Why? Because Israel is behind it, and in their twisted minds, so addled by Israelophobia, everything Israel does is evil... Why does this aid initiative feel ‘so problematic’, asks one headline? I can answer that: it’s because the Jewish State is spearheading it. Everywhere you look there is conceited suspicion over the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. It will ‘militarise aid delivery’, says the UN – big talk from an outfit whose facilities in Gaza have been used by a neo-fascist militia to propagate Jew hatred and house kidnapped Jews. Aid agencies are refusing to work with the foundation on the grounds that ‘militarising’ aid delivery is an insult to ‘humanitarian principles’. The naivety is staggering. Gaza is an active warzone. The idea that Israel could just sit back as the strip was swamped by boxes of who knows what is infantile in the extreme. It’s war – everything is militarised in war. What’s really bugging the anti-Israeli elites is that this uppity little state has the temerity to circumvent the UN. Israel outlawed UNRWA, the UN’s Palestinian-assisting wing, in Gaza and the West Bank following revelations that some UNRWA employees were involved in Hamas’s pogrom of 7 October 2023. Its new humanitarian foundation is designed precisely to get around UN mechanisms and put grub and drugs directly into the hands of Gazans who need them. To some of us, this makes sense – UNRWA is a profoundly morally compromised institution. But to the army of influencers who hate Israel, it is tantamount to blasphemy. Behold the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen on the Today programme this morning. In tones of such world-weary vanity, he insisted Israel should be working with the UN, not the US. After all, there were only ‘a dozen or so cases’ of UNRWA being ‘infiltrated by Hamas’, he said, with the breeziness of someone ordering a caramel latte. Actually there have been more cases than that. But even if it were only a ‘dozen or so’ instances of a UN body being infiltrated by an army of anti-Semites devoted to the destruction of the Jewish nation, shouldn’t that be enough to put Israel off? In Bowen’s eyes, how many cases of UN complicity with 21st-century fascism are acceptable? Twelve? Twenty? A hundred? He should say. The sheer delirium in the response to Israel’s humanitarian push was best summed up in an AP headline. ‘UN agencies warn that Israel’s plans for aid distribution will endanger lives’, it says. Drink in the Orwellianism of that. Providing aid is deathly now. Providing people with food ‘endangers lives’. Feeding the hungry kills. The doublethink of the Israelophobia pox has rarely been so beautifully illustrated... In these people’s eyes, everything Israel does is a crime. If it bombs Gaza, in pursuit of the Jew-hating militants that attacked it, that’s a war crime. But if it pleads with civilians to flee before it drops its bombs, that’s a war crime, too – the war crime of ‘forced displacement’. If it enforces a siege on Gaza, to try to suffocate Hamas’s army of anti-Semites, that’s ‘genocide’. Yet when it lifts the siege and brings in truckloads of necessities, that goes against ‘humanitarian principles’, too. That also ‘endangers lives’. If Israel takes lives, it’s a crime. If it tries to save lives, it’s a crime. If it cuts off deliveries, it’s a crime. If it lets deliveries in, it’s a crime. No one should be in any doubt now: Israelophobia is a libellous monstrosity underpinned less by an opposition to war than by a frothing, post-truth hatred for the world’s only Jewish nation. Hamas has instructed the people of Gaza not to cooperate with Israel’s delivery of aid. The UN has noisily rejected it too. And the commentariat is branding it ‘problematic’. They’re all on the same page. They’re all telling the suffering folk of the Gaza Strip not to accept the Jewish State’s help. This is a kind of psychosis. If you really believed that Gaza faces one of the worst famines of modern times, you would tell its people to take anything they can get. The hysterical reaction to the Gaza Humanitarian Fund suggests these people either don’t believe that, and they’ve been lying, or they do believe it but they hate Israel so much that they would rather see Gazans starve than eat Israel’s evil food. And honestly, I don’t know which is worse."
Famine declared in Gaza City : r/worldnews - "A famine is classified when an area has the following: Daily mortality rate exceeds two per 10,000 people, or four per 10,000 children under five.
In Gaza, with a population of 2 million, that would be 400 people a day. Which is more than the total dead from malnutrition over 2 years let alone daily. Anyone know where they pulled their data from? From the same article
Deaths from malnutrition and starvation are spiking, according to figures from Gaza's Health Ministry, verified by the World Health Organisation. In just the first 20 days of August, there were 133 deaths attributed to malnutrition or starvation, including 25 children, the ministry said. This is up from 89 deaths in the first 22 months of the conflict."
Trust the Experts. Even when they contradict themselves and always have a bias in the same direction
Famine declared in Gaza City : r/worldnews - "'People are starving to death , That's a famine'
It really isn't, 20,500 people died of malnutrition in the US in 2022 according to the CDC. The US isn't experiencing a famine."
Famine declared in Gaza City : r/worldnews - "The strange thing is in the report they say:
Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rates measure by MUAC have risen at an unparalleled pace across the territory. In Gaza Governorate, GAM prevalence tripled from 1.6-5.8 percent in May to 12.7-19.9 percent in July 2025, surpassing the famine threshold.
But later they say the threshold is 30%, which is obviously higher than 19.9. When they say that they have an asterisk and notation saying “or 15% GAM by Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) with evidence of rapidly worsening underlying drivers of acute malnutrition,” which would explain the disparity. But their technical manual doesn’t seem to say that. It says the 15% malnutrition based of MUAC figure applies to both stage 4 and stage 5. So on its own, it would not indicate stage 5. It also says that while the measure is commonly used,
global thresholds have not been developed. . . . MUAC thresholds can only be used in conjunction with the other contextual information by taking into account the immediate causes of acute malnutrition and the locally understood relationship between MUAC and WHZ prevalence, and by using the convergence of evidence approach.
I hope they put out a more detailed explanation addressing the seeming disparity."
86% of aid sent to Gaza is stolen before it can reach those most in need, UN reveals - "The UN is unable to break down how much of the missing aid – equating to 23,353 tons in the last two and a half months – has been snatched by Hamas militants, or taken by some of the more than two million people living in Gaza's warzone."
Hamas Atrocities on X - "The UN tried to move aid trucks today in Gaza. They are helplessly trying to show they are a valid alternative to the Israeli - American initiative. Where are the trucks coming from? Didn't they say "no aid came in for 3 months"? The truth is obvious. The Gaza Strip is full of food, that has been withheld ON PURPOSE, by the UN and Hamas, to create a false narrative of "famine". See these trucks? This is INSIDE the Gaza Strip!"
United Nations Says 89% Of Their Gaza Aid Trucks Have Been Looted Since May - "A spotlight on the data comes as Israel continues to face allegations of blocking aid to Gaza. UN figures show that Israel approved 112 aid requests in June and denied 38... Of the 44,650 tons offloaded at the crossings, UN trucks have picked up only 35,968 tons. This leaves 8,682 tons of aid sitting in the sun awaiting transport — a situation heavily criticized by both Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which accuse the UN of failing to efficiently distribute its aid. Due to the bottleneck and constant looting of UN trucks, GHF has repeatedly offered to help the UN distribute aid, but the offer has gone unanswered. Instead, the UN has continued to vilify the group... Hamas claimed that the hostages were receiving the same amount of food as the general population in Gaza. However, a moment in the propaganda video appeared to contradict that assertion, showing the muscular arm of a Hamas terrorist handing a can to the visibly emaciated David. Hamas has reportedly barred the Red Cross from delivering food to hostages unless Israel permanently opens humanitarian corridors and suspends all air traffic during such deliveries"
Clearly, this is Israel's fault

Thread by @charlescwcooke on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - " It’s interesting to note that the same people who pop up with “fascism expert here!” whenever anyone suggests that we ought to change the sales-tax rate always seem to stay deathly silent after, say, a man throws Molotov cocktails at Jews in a public park. However tenuous, it always “says so much”; there’s always a “pattern” we must “unpack”; there’s always a “link” we must “discern.” Until it’s actually a guy throwing glass bottles full of fire at Jews, at which point it’s unworthy of historical parallel. Deregulation, tariffs, unitary executive theory, charter schools, immigration enforcement, spending cuts, patriotism—all these things get the @ruthbenghiat treatment. But firebombing Jewish people? That's ignored... @ruthbenghiat—the "expert here!" queen—has described DOGE as a "crime against humanity" and explained how America is a "gangster state." Nothing on this.

Pro-Palestine protesters interrupt BBC Proms - "Pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall on Friday. Jewish Artists for Palestine brought the performance by Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) to a halt for more than 10 minutes because of the protest. They waved black handwritten fabric signs reading “complicit in genocide” and “Jewish Artists for Palestine” from the upper tiers of the venue leading the BBC to apologise for their actions. “The MSO has blood on its hands,” a woman shouted out. In a statement Jewish Artists for Palestine said they took the step in opposition to “Zionist funding, censorship and complicity in our cultural institutions” over the Gaza war, including the MSO and the BBC. They targeted the MSO after they cancelled a performance by pianist Jayson Gillham last year after he spoke in support of Gazans leading members of the group to shout “you silenced Jayson Gillham” and the “MSO is complicit in genocide”."

'Your suffering doesn't matter': Harvard psychologist tackles Jews' 'traumatic invalidation' - "– Many patients — Jewish and Israeli — described instances of others asking them to defend the actions of the Israeli government, as if they were personally responsible...
The fact that antisemitism is so pervasive in the mental health field, social work, and psychology has been beyond surprising, and actually devastating to me. I feel really betrayed by the mental health field. Within the mental health field, a lot of people are supposed to be trauma experts, or expert in what we call Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which is where the term traumatic invalidation came from. They were not able to hold space for the pain of Jewish people. They made it about politics. So for example, I met people that shared stories about how they’re feeling unsafe or traumatized, either by October 7 or by what happened after October 7 in the U.S. And responses from therapists was dismissal, or victim blaming, or literally, they were told, “Well, what do you think is happening in Gaza? How can you compare yourself to them?” You can see it also in discussion groups for therapists... I’m hearing Jewish patients don’t feel safe... One of the pro bono cases after October 7 said she didn’t feel safe going to her LGBTQ group. The facilitator of the group started wearing a keffiyeh, and changed the art in the room to say “from the river to the sea,” with drawings of a Palestinian flag. Their Instagram page called for patients to cancel their appointments and go protest with them. And when the participant told the facilitator that they did not feel safe, their reaction was “deal with it.” I ended up calling the head of this practice to complain, and to tell them that it’s not ethical, because when a patient tells you that you don’t feel safe, the first thing you need to do is to make sure they feel safe... One of my colleagues is a Black American Jew, and he said he actually experienced more way antisemitism than racism. And they’ll say on college campuses, they don’t want Zionists there. If they ever said “we don’t want LGBTQ here” that will never fly. But it seems like when it comes to Jews, if we just use a different term, like Zionist, which is modern antisemitism, then it’s OK. We don’t matter."
Your 'trauma' is only valid and matters when it pushes the left wing agenda, and groups the left hate don't get to feel safe

Letters: Ontario hospital's killing of puppies and dogs 'distressing' - "It appears that terror and hostage-taking (as Hamas has done) are ways to get what you want; defending your country and hunting for hostages, held in terror tunnels, as Israel has been doing, not so much. There will be ramifications to this ill-considered action. International law, which so many love to reference but few really understand, is very clear on the preconditions for statehood. According to the Montevideo Convention, 1933, the three pre-conditions for statehood are: a permanent population; defined boundaries; a functioning government; and the ability to enter into relations with other states. The Palestinians meet none of these criteria. This also violates the tenets of the Oslo Accords, which granted the Palestinians autonomy and self-government, not statehood, and which laid out very clearly that final borders could happen only as a result of bilateral final negotiations with Israel, not by the fiat of three meddling prime ministers with their own agendas. This blatant flouting of international law and violation of the Oslo Accords is not only a direct assault on Israel’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. It also signals, not only to Israel, but to other countries that international agreements and guarantees are not worth the paper they are written on. So why bother negotiating? What we have is not three leaders, but three stooges."
"Here we go again. Liberal incompetence on display for all the world to see. Mark Carney and his cabinet — like so many in the mainstream media and the UN — are hopelessly naïve in suggesting that the Palestinian Authority has any actual authority in Gaza, when it’s clear that it is the terrorist group Hamas that’s firmly in charge. And its stated goal: death to all Jews. Canadian recognition of a Palestinian State at this point in time — without a ceasefire, the elimination of Hamas and the return of the Israeli hostages taken so brutally — would be foolish. It’s also something this minority government, in my opinion, does not have the right to carry out unilaterally. Deciding on Palestinian statehood is an issue that needs to be debated — and voted on — when Parliament reconvenes in the fall. And may smarter, more informed heads prevail."
"A senior Hamas official has openly called the international recognition of Palestine “one of the fruits of October 7.” This is not about peace. It is the rewarding of terror. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas — a Holocaust denier, accused of corruption, and until recently paying convicted terrorists — is no credible leader. He has no democratic mandate, having last been elected in 2005, and no plan to prepare his people for peaceful coexistence with Israel. Recognizing a Palestinian state now, with hostages still in Hamas tunnels and without any meaningful reform, sends one message to terrorists: violence works."
