The mathematics of famine are simple in Gaza. Palestinians cannot leave, war has ended farming and Israel has banned fishing, so practically every calorie its population eats must be brought in from outside.

Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert…[Read more]

This accidental find is for @jakelafort

Jake,

John Spenser prose sheds much-needed light on the differences between the deliberate horrors of genocide and the incidental horrors of war.

Your poetic prose, back on laser focus, provides a kaleidescope of perspective on AI.

Well, if Hamas didn’t attack and commandeer aid shipments and sell aid on the black market for arms and tunnels, perhaps aid could get through by other means.

Enco,

Here is a creditable evaluation of the genocide lie.

What a sick fucking world. The obsession with Israel/jews while serious crimes against humanity of a far greater magnitude and despicable indefensible nature are occurring encapsulates the stupidity of humanity. If it were still the British there, the Turks, and for sure Arab Muslims…[Read more]
