Noam Chomsky, one of the most well known academics and intellectuals in the world, gives an excellent background on what happened before the Gaza Genocide: “The Israeli stranglehold on Gaza, which has reduced the life to bear survival, has reached the point where the United Nations and other analysts predict that by the year 2020, Gaza will literally be uninhabitable. That’s 2 million people, half of them children, of being caged in a prison a carefully controlled Of savage restrictions on food, on anything that comes to them. …
The official program Was to keep Gaza on what was called a diet Barely enough to survive. Doesn’t look good if they all starve to death. Notice that this is occupied territory, as recognized by even by the United States, everyone but Israel. So here’s a population kept in a prison in an occupied territory, fed a diet to keep them at bare survival, constantly used as a punching bag for what’s called what calls itself the “most moral army in the world”. We’re within a couple of years, it’ll be uninhabitable.
And in addition to that, you have sadistic acts like highly trained snipers killing a young Palestinian woman medic when she’s tending a patient. And what the doctor just described. What do we do with it? We we actually react to that. the United States has reacted. It’s reacted by very sharply cutting its funding to the one organization. UNRWA, UN organization that keeps the population barely alive. And that’s our response, along with, of course, overwhelming support for Israel, providing with the arms, diplomatic support and so on. One of the most extraordinary scandals, if that’s the right word, in the modern world.
Can we do something about it? Sure, of course we can. Gaza should be thriving, Mediterranean paradise.”
