At least 57 Palestinians have starved to death in Gaza as Israel’s punishing blockade of food, water, and other critical aid to the besieged enclave stretches into its third month amid relentless bombardment.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Saturday that most of the victims were children, as well as the sick and elderly, condemning the “continued use of food by the Israeli occupation as a weapon of war” and urging the international community to exert pressure on Israel to reopen the borders and allow in aid.

    There’s nothing the average citizen can do. “The Powers That Be” will protect Israel at any cost, because Israel is a military beachhead in the Middle East for any potential military action against “The Muzlimz.”

      Not alone. The only way is to organize. They’re often at local Palestine protests, so the trick is to find those, then get connected to people at them.

      Jewish Voice for Peace is often at them. Someone else named another organization above. PSL has had a lot over the last year and a half, too.
