A newly released UNICEF-led nutrition survey of children in Gaza found acute malnutrition rates measured as low as 0.2-0.8%, which is noted as being exceptionally low by BOTH regional and Western standards, with Gaza’s pre-war rate measured at 0.8 per cent, compared with 2.9 per cent in Egypt and 2.0 per cent in Jordan.
As explained by Dr Mark Zlochin in his article in Jewish Chronicle,
“The new findings don’t just completely debunk the latest iteration of the relentless narrative claiming Israel isn’t allowing enough food into Gaza – they also undermine the key argument used to justify the original famine declaration, which advocacy groups still cite as their evidentiary anchor.”
The UN sponsored survey also challenges the basis for the August 2025 famine designation by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). A Phase 5 “Famine” designation required at least 30 per cent of children under five to show acute malnutrition by WHZ. Because WHZ data were unavailable when the designation was made, the IPC relied on mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC), arguing that a 15 per cent MUAC rate could be treated as equivalent to the 30 per cent WHZ threshold because WHZ supposedly identifies roughly twice as many cases.
While this may all sound a bit technical, the take away message is that the UN has finally accepted that the UN designation of starvation taking place in Gaza was never actually true, ie, while real famines are taking place in the Sudan, in Syria and in Yemen, the unmatched massive world mobilization to put out the famine in Gaza was a sham. While these food subsidies would have been more useful in both Jordan and Egypt, there were actually needed in both Syria and Sudan, yet they were sent to well fed Gaza where a terrorist junta reaped the windfall of both being fed and subsidized thru the sale of excess food stuffs to the people of Gaza. The international community was literally taking food away from needy children to subsidize and preserve the savages of October 7, and this nonsensical pursuit of feeding monsters instead of those in need continues to this day. STOP SUBSIZING TERROR!
How many children died in the Sahara over the past three years while well fed children were being fed food in an unprecedented humanitarian food campaign which should have been targeted towards children who were actually suffering from starvation. While none of this should be surprising, the reality of it is nonetheless revealing as to the massive support which the Western world has leant to the savages who raped, maimed, tortured, humiliated, hunted, murdered and kidnapped the victims of October 7. This is the work product of Jew Hatred on a literally global scale, which is still weaponizing the very real suffering of the people of Gaza against the Jewish People, and the reality is that there is a very certain concern that given the opportunity to be rid of Hamas in the upcoming elections, these same victimized Gazans would choose their Hamas overlords once again, for why else would it be absolutely necessary to prevent Hamas being on the ballots in the coming elections. Indeed, would Hamas possibly win the coming elections based on the same motivation which brought them to power back in 2004, ie because they were perceived to be the best choice to get rid of the Jews and the Jewish State? To be certain, the victimhood of the Gazans lies in the psychopathy with which they have been trained since infancy, in a full societal effort, funded and organized by the international community, to dehumanize Jews to the point of training children to anticipate being the next Shahid martyr who can call home one last time to declare to their joyous family that “I have killed Jews!” And the honest truth about all of this is that none of this was accidentally achieved.

At this point if you still claim Israel is committing genocide in Gaza you are either stupid and ignorant or antisemitic.
The antisemitic version usually means applying a double standard on the definition of genocide and the laws of war just to delegitimize Israel’s existence or right to pursue legitimate goals in a war it did not start or/and dehumanize every IDF soldier as a monster.
I have tried to argue basic definitions. Genocide requires intent to destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such, in whole or in part. The evidence does not show that intent toward the people in Gaza. What it shows is the opposite. Israel has taken extraordinary steps, often at real cost and risk, to prevent civilian harm while fighting an enemy that hides among them, uses hospitals and schools as bases, and treats its own people as props in an evil grand political strategy of martyrdom to eliminate all jews on the planet.
In the middle of the fighting Israel has let in huge amounts of food, hundreds of thousands of tons, sometimes more than the world food specialists said was needed. Water lines from Israel have stayed open, three of them supplying tens of thousands of cubic meters a day. They have coordinated repairs, kept desalination plants running by sending fuel and even electricity to key ones, and allowed generators so water systems, hospitals and bakeries can keep working. Medical supplies and equipment have poured in by the tens of thousands of tons. Field hospitals coordinated. Patients have been evacuated for treatment outside. When polio showed up for the first time in decades Israel halted fighting every day and worked with WHO and UNICEF on a mass vaccination campaigns. Over a million doses given. That is not how you try to wipe out a people.
Then look at the misinformation machine. Almost every big claim about Israel deliberately targeting journalists or medical staff or children falls apart, and a lot of the time it falls apart because of what Hamas itself admits, sometimes before anyone even finishes basic fact checking. The “journalists” killed for example. Plenty of the names on those lists later show up in Hamas or Islamic Jihad martyr posts as actual operatives or commanders. Dual roles are common in Gaza’s information space. Same with medical workers. People mourned as nurses or doctors get claimed later by the terror groups as fighters. Hospitals have been used as command centers and weapons storage over and over. Hamas officials have even said it out loud at times. Manuals found on how to use the hospitals as Hamas military sites.
The casualty numbers and the “they are targeting children” stories. The Hamas health ministry figures get treated like gospel, yet their own underlying data and later admissions undercut every trending statistic. Combatants get left out or reclassified. Claims of IDF snipers or drones hunting kids usually fail basic reality of sci-fi sniper drones that don’t exist or injury patterns coming out of the same hospitals.
These stories do not need years of investigation to collapse. Often Hamas’s own words or the available evidence do the job within days or weeks. But the first maximalist version is what spreads and sticks and then gets used to accuse the whole country of Israel and its army of genocidal intent.
It is not illegal or wrong to target and destroy your enemy in a war, especially one that started with a massacre, held hostages, and fights from inside the civilian population it claims to protect. Gaza is an awful war with awful conditions, conditions shaped heavily by Hamas’s tactics. That does not make it genocide. The aid that kept flowing, the vaccination campaigns, the water and power facilitation, and the way the propaganda claims kept falling apart all point the other direction. If you ignore all of that and still yell genocide the explanations left are ignorance or a double standard aimed only at Israel. But this entire stupid campaign every war in history is a genocide.

how did the Allies deal with ethnic Germans in Border areas after World War II +6 After World War II, the Allied powers approved and orchestrated
“the forced expulsion of approximately 12 to 14 million ethnic Germans from border areas and central-eastern European countries—such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary—to create ethnically homogeneous nation-states and prevent future conflicts.The Potsdam Agreement and Legal SanctionFormal approval for the relocations came at the Potsdam Conference in August 1945, where Allied leaders agreed to transfer remaining German populations from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary into post-war Germany.The agreement stipulated that the massive population transfers should be executed in an “orderly and humane manner”.Phases of DisplacementWild Expulsions: Before the Potsdam Conference, chaotic and often violent expulsions were carried out spontaneously by local militias, resistance groups, and advancing national armies (such as in the Sudetenland and Polish border regions).Organized Transfers: Following Potsdam, systematic government-led deportations emptied historic German regions like Silesia, East Prussia, Pomerania, and the Sudetenland.Forced Labor and Internment: Many civilian ethnic Germans were detained in labor or internment camps to perform forced labor as part of war reparations before being deported.Casualties and ImpactThe chaotic flight, forced marches, and internment conditions led to severe malnutrition and disease.Estimates of the death toll resulting from the post-war expulsions range from roughly 500,000 to over 2 million deaths.If you would like to explore further, I can provide more details on:The specific situation in the Sudetenland vs. PolandThe demographic and economic consequences on post-war Germany.”
Projection and inversion: “Defense Mechanisms: Psychological projection involves attributing one’s own unacceptable traits or impulses to someone else.Inversion / Blame Shifting: In toxic relational dynamics or narcissistic abuse, projection is paired with psychological inversion—flipping the script so the victim appears to be the aggressor or carrying the flaw.”
