Ofir Braslavski watched as his emaciated son, Rom, writhed in anguish on a dirty mattress somewhere inside the Gaza Strip, in video footage released by Palestinian militants in recent days showing the agony of Israeli hostages.

    There were 400 UNRWA locations supplying aid in Gaza before this genocide. Now there are none because Israel kicked out the UN and is deliberately withholding all food - as they explicitly said they would do in October 2023 (and repeatedly ever since). That’s why this guy, along with millions of Palestinians, is starving to death.

    Zionists, and their Western corporate media puppets, seem unable to connect the dots.

      They’re going to great effort not to connect those dots.

    My heart weeps for all the victims of the Israeli apartheid regime’s famine policy in Gaza.

      Wouldn’t the Israeli hostage being happy also be a point against Israel? Really there’s no way to spin this in their favor.

        Only angle they can try is blame Hamas for it and hope that people are dumb enough to buy it. I think unfortunately a lot of people are dumb enough.

      The message is “they eat what we eat”. If Israel starves Palestine, they starve the hostages.

      Not that Israel cares. They’ve already killed a bunch of the hostages themselves. Saving them was never the goal.

      The other way around. “See? Your starvation campaign is affecting them too” is the point, and it’s working. From the article:

      The videos led tens of thousands of Israelis to take to the streets on Saturday night and demand a ceasefire deal, in one of the largest turnouts for the weekly protests in recent months.

        “See, we are as bad as them !” Is not a marketing strategy I would recommend neither

            Netanyahu is loosing support and look like the bad guy, so not competing with him on being the worst human being would be a good start

      I guess they are riding on the fact there’s famine and the captives are starving as well. Marketing done wrong if you ask me.
