Famine in Gaza?

[AtorBoltox]

You already touched on this a bit, and it’s kind of a distasteful argument but basic logic necessitates it be made - if there’s been a famine in Gaza since November then wouldn’t the majority of the gazan population have perished by now? That’s 5 months without food

Going off of this definition: https://www.ipcinfo.org/famine-facts/en/#:~:text=A%20Famine%20classification%20(IPC%20Phase,each%20day%20due%20to%20outright

A Famine classification (IPC Phase 5) is the highest phase of the IPC Acute Food Insecurity scale, and is attributed when an area has at least 20% of households facing an extreme lack of food, at least 30% of children suffering from acute malnutrition, and two people for every 10,000 dying each day due to outright starvation or to the interaction of malnutrition and disease.

Famine =/ literally no food.

Thanks, I was unfamiliar with this definition. But even going by this the data GMAC provided shows there is no famine, which is why NGOs despite desperately wanting to have another thing to attack Israel with haven’t said there is one, they just continually keep saying it’s around the corner

Anyway, when Palestine activists on Twitter say ‘Israel is starving Gaza,’ they don’t mean that technically Gaza narrowly meets the definition of a famine( which isn’t true anyway), they are trying to convince people there is holodomor style mass starvation going on

See GenMac, regardless of whether you believe what you say due to some cognitive dissonance, stop revolving on this issue. Hundreds of thousands are starving in Gaza. Show some respect.

Thank you

This kind of low effort moralising crap which doesn’t address any of the points that have been made in this thread should not be allowed

Seriously, I don’t know where this style of argumentation comes from, probably tumblr, but it’s been embraced by the online left in recent years. ‘X is happening.’ ‘Actually, no it isn’t, here’s the proof’’ ‘wow, I can’t believe you support x you sick fck’
