"“For over two months, #Israel has enforced a total siege, blocking food, water, medicine and aid, while thousands of trucks filled with life-saving supplies ready for swift distribution, are waiting at the border, metres away, blocked from entering.”

He added that families are “wasting away from hunger”, while children are “malnourished” and “too weak to cry” as entire communities are surviving “without food or clean water”. #Oxfam’s field teams reported that in one displacement camp, only five of 500 families had any flour left to make bread."

    There is right and wrong in the world and sometimes it is complex and hard to tell the difference. Let me help.

    If you find yourself in a position where you are deliberately withholding food from people until they starve to death, you are on the wrong side. Food is not a weapon, food is a basic human right. You might wish to weaponize it, because sometimes it would be awfully convenient and even powerful as a weapon, but if you do that, you are on the wrong side.
