A healthy person can survive forty to sixty days without food, depending on how fat they were to begin with. Women last longer than men (woman are better at all extreme endurance feats I am aware of.)
It’s been about two months since Israel cut off all food and water to Gaza. There were storehouses and some food, and it took about 30-40 days to exhaust the stores, but even before that there wasn’t enough.
And even before this cut-off there wasn’t enough. There was a brief period after Trump took power with supplies moving in in large amounts, but since the start of the crisis, Israel has been choking off food, medicine and everything else, and Israeli citizens have stopped and hijacked aid trucks.
So there aren’t any fat people in Gaza, except for some Zionist genociders who cosplay as soldiers. And most people in Gaza haven’t had enough food for well over a year.
Palestinians are going to start dying in massive numbers right about now, and the deaths will accelerate.
This is the first live-streamed genocide. Everyone knows its happening, and no on except the Ansar-Allah has done shit, though credit to Hezbollah for trying until Mossad ripped them apart. (I do maintain Hezbollah’s strategy was awful, but that’s water under the bridge. They at least tried.)
I include Iran in this general indictment. It has enough missiles to really hurt Israel and proved that it could get thru the “Iron” Dome.
But, again, they’ve done more than pretty much every other country in the world.
I will note, for the record, though that it’s unlikely to matter much, for the rest of my life I will judge people based on whether they were against the Palestinian genocide at the time. In a few years almost everyone will pretend they were against it, but we have receipts. And even if you are good to puppies and children, give lots of money to charities and are perfectly aligned with my politics on everything else, I will regard you as evil and a piece of human garbage, who could only improve the world by committing suicide, if you were OK with this.
This genocide could be stopped tomorrow by the US simply halting all shipments and aid to Palestine. Even Europe, were it to act similarly, might be able to stop it.
But no one with the power to do anything decisive, is. Which means they’re all monsters.
And if you are depraved enough to think “who cares, it doesn’t effect me?”, let me assure you that on top of being human filth, you are also stupid and a fool. If they’ll do it to Palestinians, they’d do it to you and yours if they thought it was in their interest and they could get away with it.
Which, so far, they have every reason to believe they could.
Certain actions, like genocide, rape, torture, child murder and attacking hospitals have to be off the table entirely for the protection of everyone. You never want to normalize them, even if you are an evil piece of shit, because once something becomes routine, who knows is next on the table?
Welcome to Hell.
