    There really are no words at this point. Monstrous. Fascist. Genocidal. We've covered it all. They're starving babies to death.

      Israel's legacy will be overshadowing the historical useage of the word holocaust with the very one they are so proudly, so publicly currently carrying out, and simultaneously erasing any blurred lines between Judaism and this horrifying, what would you even call this now? I saw retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor refer to Israel as conducting a war for Zionist Supremacy. They seem to take pride in staking out a morally indefensible position.

      This seems to be the swan song for Israel, certainly, but I do not understand the George Bush with us or against us style determination of these zealots to take every believer of their faith down with them for what is not a religious belief but an insanely irrational, suicidal, racist grudge against Arabs for the unforgivable crime of currently existing where Judaism may have originated and up until the Zionist movement, was peacefully coexisting alongside without issue.

      So great to be standing shoulder to shoulder with this failson country that has a formal military policy of trying to nuke the rest of the world to take everyone down with them if it looks like they're going to lose. I think they call it the Samson option or Samson doctrine or something because biblical references to mass murder are very cool and normal things for militaries with nuclear capabilities to have.

    Okay I know this is a Serious Post and very distressing.

    But is the German word for famine really "Hungersnot?"

      I'm Norwegian, but 50% of our vocabulary is derived from German, and our word for famine is "Hungersnød". So yes, famine is indeed "Hungersnot" in German. A rough translation of the composite word here would be Hunger(Hungers) and Need(nød/not)

    I have no reason to doubt the veracity of this post because millions are starving in Gaza.

    That said, my lib parents are wary of "disinformation" and I've only seen social media image macros of Anhar al Shanbari (may she rest in peace). Is there a journalists name or news outlet that has posted about this? Might be too soon for a verification since she just died.

      If this weren't a real photo, then there were 10,000 starved children who didn't have their photo taken.
