1/ It is so bizarre hearing reporters ask if Israel "has done enough," when Israel intentionally engineered this entire pre-planned famine by using starvation as a weapon of war.

The famine was announced, in advance, by Israeli leadership.

2/ Starvation was the plan from day one. This is from the person who created the plan to ethnically cleanse North Gaza.

3/ Two days in to the genocide, from the person in charge of coordination between Israel and the Gaza Strip.

4/ Five days in to the genocide, from the person who just got promoted to Minister of Defense.

5/ Same person, six days in.

6/ The new Minister of Defense, 8 days in:

7/ From a member of the Knesset, 9 days in to the genocide:

8/ 10 days in, from a Minister another minister in the government:

9/ Another minister, also ten days in to the genocide.

10/ Another MK, 16 days in.

11/ From the Minister of Defense at the time, one month in to the genocide.

12/ From a Major General, in January.

13/ From the Minister of National Security, in February.

14/ In May, one of the most powerful MKs, the Deputy Speaker demanded aid stop. He *personally* blocked aid from entering Gaza.

15/ When he blocked the aid, he was worried he wasn't getting credit for it. So he went on Israeli media to brag about it. Again, a powerful MK.

16/ And it is important to note Israel has been attempting to use starvation and denial of water as a weapon to ethnically cleanse Gaza for decades.

This is from 1967, from the former Prime Minister of Israel.

17/ Journalists might want to consider phrasing in a manner that isn't "is Israel doing enough to provide aid" and instead ask the more honest question:

"Why is the US complicit in Israel intentionally starving the population of Gaza?"

18/ A post script. Listen to Palestinian journalists.
