From Sultan Knish (ht B):
Gaza has been sent 92,000 truckloads of food over the course of time. The US spent $250 million and one soldier died to build a dock to bring more food in. Food and supplies that the Biden administration dropped into the area was actually rejected–not something that would have been expected of a starving population.
The false claims that Israel is killing the invasive population in Gaza with hunger is false, but the massive truckloads of aid being brought in to save the Hamas supporters from a famine that doesn’t exist may be even more lethal. Gaza, like the rest of the ‘Palestinian-occupied’ territories is a massive welfare state subsidized by the U.S., the UN and the Europeans. And people in welfare states tend to do very little work, eat all the free food they can get, grow fat and violent, and then go off looking for something to destroy. Gaza may be the worst welfare state in the world, but it is a welfare state and its own habits are deadlier to it than Israel.
It happens here too. If all you have to do with your time is eat then you’re going to find something else to do. Generally violence is an outlet (bread and circuses without the circus).
A global nutrition report found that nearly 30% of men and 42% of women in the combined areas are obese. In Gaza specifically, 64% of mothers were overweight or obese. How could this wave of obesity be reconciled with the simultaneous claim that 60% of households in Gaza are “food insecure’” The mothers of quite a few of those “food insecure households” are obese.
The shortage of research studies being carried out under Hamas rule makes it difficult to estimate how fat Gaza’s occupiers were, but a revealing data point is that a study conducted in 2019 estimated that among adults over the age of 42, 45% had Type 2 Diabetes and 16.8% had undiagnosed Type 2.
Food insecurity in Gaza is a myth. And it’s as meaningless a term as climate change. Just another way that the media lies.
