To put it mildly, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel and his government are actively exterminating the entire population of Palestinians in Gaza as the whole world watches in feigned anger and helplessness.
As Israel annihilates all people in Gaza the United States of America has been providing them with heavy bombs to help them complete the job faster and more effectively.
Even now as the whole world watches in shock with horrific pictures of dead and dying children many of whom are starving to death in Gaza, President Donald Trump is still supplying bombs to the Israeli government to get that job completed.
That is how sad and the real the situation is on the ground is, forget speeches made here and there by the leaders of the powerful Western countries including the USA.
As the total destruction of life in Gaza goes on the United Nations Organization (UNO) does not even pretend to exist and has given Netanyahu and the Israeli government full permission to do whatever they want in Gaza and if that means killing the entire population in Gaza that is fine with the UN.

From the ashes of World War II
The United Nations Charter was signed at a conference in San Francisco in June 1945, led by Britain, China, the Soviet Union and the United States.
In June 1945, the United Nations Charter was negotiated by representatives from 50 countries.
When the Charter took effect on October 24, 1945 a global war had just ended. Much of Africa and Asia was still ruled by colonial powers.
Human rights: Aspirations vs. reality
In 1948, the United Nations proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These include the right to not be enslaved, the right to free expression, and the right to seek from other countries asylum from persecution. According to the United Nations Foundation, it is the most translated document in the world.
The UNO was formed to protect all countries and people across the universe and they have done that very often. However in all its history the UN has not addressed the critical issue of Israeli government enslaving, oppressing Palestinians and trying to annihilate them in Gaza right now as the world watches. The Israeli crimes against Palestinians are enabled through the veto power at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) which makes decisions on key issues of human rights violations across the globe.
Why and how does the UNSC always protect Israel and refuse to make decisions and take action required to address global concerns even where there is overwhelming evidence that the Israeli government is committing crimes against humanity like the situation in Gaza today?
That happens because the government of Israel has a veto power in the UNSC and anytime any issue of Israel committing crimes against Palestinians is brought up the US on behalf of Israel will always veto such decisions to hold the Israeli government accountable.
As of today the Israeli government can do anything they want because their Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has a seat and veto power in the UNSC. That veto power comes from the USA representative in the UNSC and the US has used that veto religiously and obediently to protect Israel from taking responsibility from its abuse of fundamental human rights of the Palestinians.
Dorothy Shea the current United States Ambassador to the UNSC appointed in January 2025, has one big role which is to veto any decision by the UNSC that Israel disagrees with and that is her most important job.
In other words it useless for the UN to take any serious issue on the present extermination of Palestinians in Gaza because US ambassador in the UNSC will be representing Benjamin Netanyahu in any such vote. The man committing horrors in Gaza effectively has a seat in the UNSC and that is what the whole world has to deal with in addressing the crimes being committed against human beings in Gaza today.
After World War II, the world said “never again” and brought war criminals to justice in Nuremberg. Today, we watch in horror as Israeli leaders, Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, and many others, openly pursue policies of annexation, mass displacement, and collective punishment.
These are not defensive actions; they are war crimes, driven by ideology and impunity. The world must act. If international law means anything, these modern-day war criminals and land thieves must be brought before a tribunal. These are not defenders, they are aggressors, and their victims cry out for justice. We must reject the barbarity of occupation masked as “security” and expose the lies of divine entitlement. No one is above the law, not even a state.
Let is look at what is happening in Gaza today and ask ourselves one question. How can this unprecedented genocide happening as the whole world watches sees the crimes be stopped?

The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached critical levels. With hundreds of thousands on the brink of mass starvation and children suffering from severe malnutrition, urgent action is needed according to he Red Cross and Red Crescent which is on the ground right now.

The head of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City said on Tuesday that 21 children had died across the Palestinian territory in the past three days “due to malnutrition and starvation.”
“These deaths were recorded at hospitals in Gaza, including Al-Shifa in Gaza City, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah and Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis … over the past 72 hours,” Mohammed Abu Salmiya told reporters.
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned Monday evening that “the last lifelines keeping people alive are collapsing” in Gaza, and that there were growing reports of children and adults exhibiting symptoms of malnutrition.
Abu Salmiya told reporters that new cases of malnutrition and starvation were arriving at Gaza’s remaining functioning hospitals “every moment,” adding: “We are heading towards alarming numbers of deaths due to the starvation inflicted on the people of Gaza.”
In a statement issued Tuesday, the U.N. human rights office said many people were arriving at Gaza’s hospitals “in a state of severe exhaustion caused by a lack of food. Others are collapsing in the streets. Many more may be dying unreported … These deaths and the horrendous physical and psychological suffering caused by hunger are the result of Israel’s interference with and militarization of humanitarian assistance.”
Palestinian mother Alaa Al-Najjar mourns her three-month-old baby Yehia, who died due to malnutrition amid a hunger crisis according to medics at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, July 20, 2025.
Photos emerging from Gaza in recent days have shown children and infants with severe malnutrition, including some said by hospital workers to have died of the condition. According to the National Institutes of Health, severe malnutrition typically causes symptoms including dramatic wasting, or fat and muscle loss, poor circulation and extreme fatigue.
“Hospitals are already overwhelmed by the number of casualties from gunfire. They can’t provide much more help for hunger-related symptoms because of food and medicine shortages,” Khalil al-Deqran, a spokesperson for the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, told the Reuters news agency. Deqran said there were 600,000 people suffering from malnutrition symptoms such as dehydration and anemia, including 60,000 pregnant women.
After talks to extend a six-week ceasefire broke down, Israel imposed a full blockade on Gaza on March 2 this year, allowing no aid in until trucks were again permitted to cross the border in late May. The U.N. and aid organizations say the quantity of food and other emergency supplies being allowed into Gaza since then has been vastly insufficient, however.
World Food Program director Carl Skau, who visited Gaza City in early July, called the situation “the worst” he had ever seen.

Gaza: Israel’s Imposed Starvation Deadly for Children
Devastating Accounts from Doctors, Parents; Reports of ‘Imminent’ Famine
Palestinian children suffering from malnutrition receive treatment at a healthcare center, in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, March 4, 2025.
Children in Gaza have been dying from starvation-related complications since the Israeli government began using starvation as a weapon of war, a war crime, Human Rights Watch said today. Doctors and families in Gaza described children, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration, and hospitals ill-equipped to treat them.
“The Israeli government’s use of starvation as a weapon of war has proven deadly for children in Gaza,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “Israel needs to end this war crime, stop this suffering, and allow humanitarian aid to reach all of Gaza unhindered.”
A United Nations-coordinated partnership of 15 international organizations and UN agencies investigating the hunger crisis in Gaza reported that “all evidence points towards a major acceleration of death and malnutrition.” The partnership said that in northern Gaza, where 70 percent of the population is estimated to be experiencing catastrophic hunger, famine could occur anytime between mid-March and May.
Human Rights Watch in March interviewed a doctor in northern Gaza, a volunteer doctor who has since left Gaza, the parents of two infants who doctors said died of starvation-related complications in both mother and child, and the parents of four other children suffering from malnutrition and dehydration.
Human Rights Watch reviewed the death certificate for one of the children, and photos of two of the children in critical condition that showed signs of emaciation. All had been treated at Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza.
Human Rights Watch health advisers also reviewed verified pictures and videos online of three other evidently emaciated children who died and four others in critical condition who also showed signs of emaciation.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who heads Kamal Adwan hospital’s pediatrics unit, told Human Rights Watch on April 4 that 26 children had died after experiencing starvation-related complications in his hospital alone. He said that at least 16 of the children who died were under 5 months old, at least 10 were between 1 and 8 years old, and that a 73-year-old man suffering from malnutrition had also died.
Dr. Safiya said one of the infants died at just two days old after being born severely dehydrated, apparently exacerbated by his mother’s poor health: “[She] had no milk to give him.”

Former British ambassador to the United States Peter Westmacott has said images of starving children in Gaza appear to have had a powerful impact – including on US President Donald Trump.
“What we have seen in the last few days has been these pictures of malnourished and starving children,” he told CNN’s Becky Anderson today. “And that does seem to have struck a chord in President Trump’s mind.”
“We are beginning to see some reaction,” he added, referring to the Israeli government’s recent talk of humanitarian pauses and attempts to get the humanitarian relief in.
“For a long time they’ve said, ‘oh, there’s no obstacle, there isn’t any famine, nobody’s starving, we’re not doing anything to block it.’ That demonstrably wasn’t true,” he said. “And now they are changing their mind a bit.”
“Thank goodness it’s a bit late, but I think it’s been something to do with those terrible pictures of starving children, which strikes a chord in everybody’s heart,” he added.

What it takes to declare famine
An area is classified as in famine when all three of the following conditions are confirmed: At least 20 percent of households have an extreme lack of food, or are essentially starving.
At least 30% of children six months to 5 years old suffer from acute malnutrition or wasting, meaning they’re too thin for their height. And at least two people or four children under 5 per 10,000 are dying daily due to starvation or the interaction of malnutrition and disease.
The report, based on available information through July 25, 2o25 said the crisis has reached “an alarming and deadly turning point.” It said data indicate that famine thresholds have been reached for food consumption in most of Gaza — at its lowest level since the war began — and for acute malnutrition in Gaza City.
The report said nearly 17 out of every 100 children under the age of 5 in Gaza City are acutely malnourished.
Mounting evidence shows “widespread starvation,” and essential health and other services have collapsed, the report found. According to the UN’s World Food Program, one in three people in Gaza is going without food for days at a time.
Hospitals in Gaza have been reporting a rapid increase in hunger-related deaths in children under 5.
The IPC’s previous analysis in May warned that Gaza would likely fall into famine if Israel failed to lift its blockade and stop its military campaign. Its new alert called for immediate and large-scale action and warned: “Failure to act now will result in widespread death in much of the strip.”
The World Food Program warned Tuesday that the disaster unfolding in Gaza was reminiscent of last century’s famines seen in Ethiopia and Biafra in Nigeria.

Gaza: 57 children reported dead from malnutrition, says WHO
Right now the situation of death from starvation persists and nearly 71,000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely malnourished over the next 11 months.
Briefing journalists in Geneva, WHO’s representative in the Occupied Palestinian Territory Dr. Rik Peeperkorn said that Israel’s complete aid embargo has left only enough WHO supplies to treat 500 children with acute malnutrition – “a fraction of the urgent need”.

‘Unimaginable horrors’: more than 50,000 children reportedly killed or injured in the Gaza Strip
Statement by UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Edouard Beigbeder
Nateel 2 year old Alma. Gaza City, Al-Rimal, Omar Al-Mukhtar Street March 2025
AMMAN, 27 May 2025 – “In a 72-hour period this weekend, images from two horrific attacks provide yet more evidence of the unconscionable cost of this ruthless war on children in the Gaza Strip.
“On Friday, we saw videos of the bodies of burnt, dismembered children from the al-Najjar family being pulled from the rubble of their home in Khan Younis. Of 10 siblings under 12 years old, only one reportedly survived, with critical injuries.
“Early Monday, we saw images of a small child trapped in a burning school in Gaza City. That attack, in the early hours of the morning, reportedly killed at least 31 people, including 18 children.
“These children – lives that should never be reduced to numbers – are now part of a long, harrowing list of unimaginable horrors: the grave violations against children, the blockade of aid, the starvation, the constant forced displacement, and the destruction of hospitals, water systems, schools, and homes. In essence, the destruction of life itself in the Gaza Strip.
“Since the end of the ceasefire on 18 March, 1,309 children have reportedly been killed and 3,738 injured. In total, more than 50,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured since October 2023. How many more dead girls and boys will it take? What level of horror must be livestreamed before the international community fully steps up, uses its influence, and takes bold, decisive action to force the end of this ruthless killing of children?
“The children of Gaza need protection. They need food, water, and medicine. They need a ceasefire. But more than anything, they need immediate, collective action to stop this once and for all.”
Thousands of Gaza’s children face imminent death under Israeli siege: UN
Food security group says more than 93 percent of children in Gaza, about 930,000, are at risk of famine.

Thousands of children in Gaza are at risk of imminent death after a nearly three-month total Israeli blockade on the besieged enclave, which has spread famine, the United Nations relief chief warns.
That has put 14,000 babies at risk of dying in the next 48 hours, Tom Fletcher said in an interview with the BBC on Tuesday.
“We need to flood the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid,” the UN’s undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs said, describing the situation as “chilling”.
All food, medicine and other life-saving aid had been blocked by Israel from entering Gaza beginning on March 2. As of Monday, a trickle of aid was authorized to enter for the first time since then but was not immediately distributed.
Addressing the European Humanitarian Forum in Brussels on Tuesday, Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), said relief organizations have run out of words to describe the horrors unfolding in Gaza at Israel’s hands.
“But the worst in all this is that we are confronted with a situation: If there is political will, the war can stop. The siege being imposed on Gaza can be lifted,” Lazzarini said.
A UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) assessment says more than 93 percent of children in Gaza, or about 930,000, are at risk of famine
UNRWA Director of Health Akihiro Seita added on Tuesday that the situation is getting “exponentially” worse and may soon arrive at a point that is “beyond our control”.
The Israeli moves have been roundly slammed for fulfilling only a “drop in the ocean” of the humanitarian needs in Gaza, which has been largely reduced to rubble by Israeli air strikes and ground operations, which were expanded at the weekend.
Israeli attacks continue to kill dozens of Palestinians, including many children, each day while what’s left of infrastructure and aid supplies are being destroyed.
The municipality of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza announced on Tuesday that a major well, the last remaining source of drinking water in the area, was destroyed along with its generator in an Israeli strike.
This comes as more than 100,000 Palestinians have been driven out of their homes and shelters in the past several days alone, according to the UN, and have nowhere safe
Updates: Israel starves Gaza as global condemnation grows
Gaza has become a ‘graveyard’ for children amid Israeli attacks: UN
Violence, fear, displacement, hunger, loss and for 16,891 children in Gaza, death. These children are not numbers, they have a story, parents who loved them, grandparents who spoiled them and siblings who played with them. Their faces are now a memory etched in the hearts and minds of those who love them.

Appeals and negotiations won’t make Israel stop starving Gaza
In Zikim, Israeli forces shot at least 79 Palestinians, according to medical sources, as large crowds gathered there in the hopes of getting flour from a United Nations aid convoy.
Nine more were killed near an aid point in Rafah, where 36 others had lost their lives just 24 hours earlier. Four more were killed near a second aid site in Khan Younis, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence.
Rizeq Betaar, a Palestinian man who survived the attack at Zikim, helped carry one young victim to the hospital.
“We saw this young man lying on the ground, and we were the ones who carried him on the bicycle. We’re trying to get him to help. But there is nothing,” Betaar said. “There are no ambulances, no food, no life, no way to live any more. We’re barely hanging on.”
Another survivor, Osama Marouf, also helped to transport an old man who was shot and wounded.
“We brought this old man from Zikim. He went just to get some flour,” Marouf said. “I tried to save him on the bicycle – I don’t even want the flour any more, he’s like my father, this old man. May God give me the strength to do good. And may this hardship not last much longer.”

EU’s Borrell decries ‘human tragedy’ in Gaza as Israeli offensive rages
A “catastrophic level of killing, destruction and starvation” afflicts the enclave as Israel’s attacks continue, EU foreign affairs chief says.
Displaced Palestinians in a street in Khan Yunis shelled by the Israeli army, where a trickle of sewage flows, in the Gaza Strip.
EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell on Saturday added his voice to international calls for action to end “the human tragedy” unfolding in northern Gaza amid Israel’s military offensive there.
“I join U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk in his call for immediate action by world leaders to bring about an end to the human tragedy unfolding in Gaza,” Borrell said in a statement on Saturday.
“The too little information coming out from North Gaza still attests to a catastrophic level of killing, destruction and starvation, in addition to forced displacements of civilians, while an entire population is under bombings, siege and risk of starvation, as well as being forced to choose between displacement or death,” Borrell said.
“It is our duty to protect civilians and human rights, and it is high time to act on it,” he added.
The U.N.’s Türk said on Friday that the Gaza war’s “darkest moment” was unfolding in the north of the territory, where Israel is carrying out a massive ground offensive to prevent Hamas fighters from regrouping.
As refugees continue to flee Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip, the U.N. has warned that the “forcible transfer of a large part of the population of North Gaza would amount to a war crime.”
Türk said that more than 150,000 people were reportedly dead, wounded or missing in Gaza. “My gravest fear is, given the intensity, breadth, scale and blatant nature of the Israeli operation currently under way in North Gaza, that number will rise dramatically,” he said.
The calls for action come amid fear of an all-out war in the Middle East following an Israeli strike on Iran’s capital on Saturday.
Gaza air drops ‘a grotesque distraction’, aid agencies warn
The focus on air drops into Gaza is a “grotesque distraction” that will not reverse the territory’s deepening starvation crisis, aid agency leaders have warned.

Cabinet weighing Gaza ‘siege,’ full occupation
On Monday July 27, 2025, Netanyahu held a cabinet meeting during which the military presented a new plan for a “siege” of the Gaza Strip, which would again cut off all humanitarian aid and even electricity. How on
Netanyahu has now promised his cabinet that he will annex part of Gaza even as the battle to stop mass death by starvation continues.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leads a Cabinet meeting.
Exactly what does Benjamin Netanyahu want to annex from Gaza. Will he carry the hundreds of thousands of dead bodies including many buried in the rabbles to Israel so he can bury the bodies all over his country. That might be great because right now the Palestinians in Gaza have nowhere to bury the people being killed by Israel.
Will Netanyahu collect all the rabbles from buildings he has destroyed with his bombs which has left the entire population Gaza homeless. That could help because Gaza can never be rebuilt unless the millions of tons of rabble from Israeli destruction of buildings is removed. Netanyahu and Israel may have a place to store all that as a reminder to them of how great they have been in killing people and destroying everything in Gaza.
Both dead bodies and debris from the buildings could be monuments to honour Israeli soldiers and government on their great achievements in Gaza in the 21st century.
After seeing the horrors in Gaza it is clear that whatever is being done now is probably too late and too little and thousands of Palestinian children and others in Gaza are doomed to die from starvation and Israeli bomb attacks ongoing even in the middle of the present catastrophe that the whole world sees live in their TVs.
The little food being dropped from the air is useless because it is dropped on top of destroyed buildings and rabble and nobody can climb up there to pick anything. Even when trucks of food is coming from the border with Egypt they have no means to reach the starving and dying people because Gaza is now a pile of impassable bombed houses and there is no road left.
The dying people are locked in little tents between the rabbles and nobody except the Israeli soldiers can reach and kill them because they are taking too long to die from starvation. Shooting them kills them fast enough as far as the IDF and Israel is concerned.
And what is the point of dropping or moving truck loads of flour to feed Palstinians in Gaza who cannot cook anything because all the power and cooking pots and everything has been destroyed by the Israeli army.
Does the world expect the dying Palestinians in this big graveyard called Gaza to eat the raw flour directly if they get it at all because they have no means to cook anything. The places where there was some little supplies of cooked food have been turned into death traps for Palestinians as children and their mothers are shot and killed by IDF as they line up to get food.
The world has more than 2 million human beings dying and it is getting clearer by each day that token food aids cannot and will not stop mass deaths everyday.
Those kids looking terrible with bones sticking out from what remains of their bodies are practically dead already and all the world can do now is to help them die with less pain and suffering. May be Netanyahu wants to catch them and send them to jail in Israel and say they are Hamas fighters.
The only solution to stop complete Israel from wiping out the more than 2 million people in Gaza is for the UN to take complete control of Gaza and let Israel withdraw the entire IDF from Gaza and bring UN peacekeepers to take control and then come with a complete plan to save the lives of as many people there as they can.
Israel always complains that Iran wants to exterminate them and the whole world has been at war with Iran with sanctions and bombings like the US just did a few months and yet today the same Israel is practically wiping out an entire population in Gaza and the whole world is watching the horror as if it is some form of entertainment in TV. What Gives.
