AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Speaking before the International Court of Justice, the Palestinian ambassador to the Netherlands articulated what everyone who isn't openly lying to obscure a genocide already knows; Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war and its blockade of Gaza is an international crime.</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/icj-hearings" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/icj-hear</span><span class="invisible">ings</span></a></p><p>Palestinian Envoy to ICJ: Israel Using Starvation as 'Weapon of War' in 'Genocidal Campaign'</p><p>"The siege has created conditions that are "incompatible with sustaining life or the continued existence of Palestinians in Gaza," Hijazi said.</p><p>The ambassador noted that the ICJ hearing was taking place to consider whether Israel is violating international law.</p><p>"It is not about the number of aid trucks Israel is or is not allowing into the Occupied Palestinian Territories, especially Gaza," said Hijazi. "It is about Israel destroying the fundamentals of life in Palestine while it blocks U.N. and other humanitarians from providing lifesaving aid to the population. It is about Israel unraveling fundamental principles of international law, including their obligations under the U.N. Charter."</p><p>"Starvation is here," Hijazi added. "Humanitarian aid is being used as a weapon of war." </p><p>My friends, I honestly don't know what more I can say here when the facts speak for themselves. Israel has totally blockaded Gaza, they're bombing the shit out of the people inside, and the military isn't allowing enough food, or seemingly any medical supplies or other lifesaving humanitarian aid through to the Palestinian people its bombing. As this clearly genocidal shit is going on, a US media is largely ignoring the crisis while apparently hoping all the Palestinians will be dead before their audience notices we're helping Israel exterminate or ethnically cleanse an entire people in Gaza. </p><p>And all the while a Pig Empire establishment continues to manufacture consent for the slaughter by pretending the Netanyahu government's motives are unknowable in the fog of war, despite the fact that cabinet ministers keep blurting out their intention to ethnically cleanse Gaza and we're watching what can only be an attempted genocide unfold on Tik Tok videos day, after horrifying day. History is going to be written about the cowardice, complicity, and depraved indifference to human life on display in the Pig Empire establishment here; the only question is will we as Americans survive our own fascist chickens coming home to roost long enough to help write it.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICJ</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Famine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Famine</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SettlerColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SettlerColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CrimesAgainstHumanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrimesAgainstHumanity</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Starvation</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AmmarHijazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmmarHijazi</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Blockade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blockade</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Netanyahu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Netanyahu</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Palestinians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestinians</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteSupremacy</span></a></p>
