    The ICC prosecutor has decided to seek arrest warrants related to potential Israeli war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare. Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have highlighted Israel’s systematic human rights violations in Gaza, including unlawful killings, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and denial of basic rights.

    Israel’s ongoing blockade of Gaza since 2007 has restricted movement and access to resources, isolating the population. Organizations have criticized Israel’s actions, including the prevention of aid delivery, despite obligations under international law.

    According to various sources, there are widespread reports of immense suffering, displacement, and deprivation of basic rights experienced by Israel inflicted the civilian population in Gaza.

    Over 90% of Gaza’s population has been displaced, with many experiencing multiple displacements and seeking refuge in unsafe, overcrowded areas, or even the open areas. The population faces critical levels of food insecurity, with nearly half a million people at risk of famine. Access to food, clean water, and medical care is severely limited due to Israeli restrictions, including a near-total blockade on access into Gaza. Organizations like the IRC have warned that the Israeli government’s aid delivery scheme has led to mass forced displacement and poses challenges for aid access.

    Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed, and more than 145,000 injured in the conflict since October 7, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

    Numerous reports of civilians being killed while attempting to access aid have emerged. The healthcare system is near collapse due to widespread destruction of medical facilities and severe shortages of medical supplies. Nearly half of Gaza’s hospitals are only partially functional and are overwhelmed with patients. The Gaza Health Ministry has reported thousands of deaths due to lack of access to care for chronic illnesses.

    Children in Gaza are experiencing severe psychological trauma due to constant displacement, loss of family members, disrupted education, and the ongoing
    Israeli genocide.

  • Awkward: Obama, Hillary Hire Same Hitman To Kill Each Other

    Liz to All

    In an awkward turn of events, former President Barack Obama and former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton reportedly hired the same hitman to kill each other. The two political figures were allegedly compelled to target each other as more information related to the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who claims the two were complicit in a coup to undermine the Trump presidency. This prompted the pair to allegedly target the other in a desperate attempt to tie off any loose ends.

    “Israel Can’t Fake That:” Pres Trump addresses famine in Gaza
    Trump Breaks With Netanyahu WRT Starvation in Gaza

    President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing concerns of famine in Gaza on Monday, breaking from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Sunday comments in which the Israeli lied to keep the US tax dollars rolling in.....Netanyahu’s money grabbing whopper: “There is no starvation in Gaza.”

    Trump was asked about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza while meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland. “It’s going to be working where the United States will be helping with the food. You know, we have a lot of access to food; we got a lot of food ourselves, and we’re going to bring it over there. We’re also going to make sure that they don’t have barriers stopping people,” Trump said when asked about the issue. He added:

    “You know, you’ve seen the areas where they actually have food, and the people are screaming for the food in there. They’re 35, 40 yards away, and they won’t let them because they have lines that are set up, and whether they’re set up by Hamas or whoever, but they’re very strict lines, and we have to get rid of those lines.”

    “But we’re going to be getting some good, strong food. We can save a lot of people. I mean, some of those kids are — that’s real starvation stuff. I see it, and you can’t fake that. So we’re gonna be even more involved. We did some airlifts before, some airdrops, and the people are running for it. And the Prime Minister is going to help us. They’re very effective with that. You’ve done that before and for many. They’ve done that for 100 years very well, so it’s not very hard to do, actually.”

    Widespread media reports have documented the dire conditions in Gaza in recent days as social media has also been awash with a typical amount of misinformation – including images taken from other war zones or out of context.

    Aid distribution sites in Gaza have become flash-points of violence in recent weeks as Israeli shootings killed scores of Palestinians.

    Reports by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) and other international aid organizations indicate that Gaza is experiencing famine.

    Multiple factors by Israel have contributed to this catastrophic situation:

    Conflict and Displacement: The ongoing Israeii conflict has caused mass displacement, leaving millions without safe shelter and access to essential services. This widespread displacement further destabilizes food access and availability.

    Blockade and Aid Restrictions: Israel’s ongoing blockade and restrictions on the movement of commercial goods and humanitarian aid into Gaza have severely limited the flow of food and essential supplies.

    While Israel has recently eased some restrictions-—the volume of aid entering Gaza remains significantly lower than what is required to meet the needs of the population.

    Destruction of Infrastructure: The Israeii conflict has caused significant damage to Gaza’s infrastructure, including roads, water and sanitation systems, and agricultural land, further hindering the ability to produce, transport, and access food. Local food production has collapsed, and markets are failing due to shortages and prohibitively high prices.

    Security Concerns and Aid Distribution Challenges: The unsafe conditions and ongoing Israeii bombing make it extremely dangerous to deliver and distribute aid within Gaza. Aid convoys face delays, obstructions, and looting, and civilians seeking aid have been killed or injured by Israeii military in the process.

    Malnutrition and Disease: The combined Israeli-induced factors have led to a sharp deterioration in food consumption and a dramatic increase in malnutrition rates, particularly among children. The breakdown of the health system and lack of access to clean water exacerbate the situation, creating a dangerous cycle where malnutrition and disease reinforce each other, leading to illness and death.

    International organizations, including the UN, are urgently calling for an immediate and sustained Israeii ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access, and the restoration of essential services to prevent further loss of life and alleviate the suffering in Gaza.

    Le Cirque, the iconic New York City restaurant, closed due to what it “said” were rising rent costs, operational challenges, and a decline in the restaurant’s reputation and popularity.

    After President Trump chose it for a fundraising dinner on September 26, 2017, an account under owner Sirio Maccioni’s name issued the following (since-deleted) response to a Yelp review that alleged the restaurant was “aiding and abetting fascists and white supremacists.”

    “Yelp please remove this social media nazi white supremacist who incites hate and violence against hard working immigrant restaurant workers. Real New Yorkers have come to our restaurant this week and now business is booking. Best week of the year in sales. Jamie R is a nazi white supremacist and must be removed from Yelp together with his haters and bigot friends.”


    The restaurant filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March,2018, highlighting significant financial difficulties. The restaurant also faced bankruptcy and legal issues, including sexual harassment and wage lawsuits.

    Rising Costs:
    The primary reason cited for the closure was the high cost of rent in Manhattan, particularly for a restaurant of Le Cirque’s stature.

    Operational Challenges:Le Cirque also faced other operational challenges, which, combined with the high rent, made it difficult to remain profitable.


    Bankruptcy and Legal Issues: Additionally, Le Cirque was dealing with lawsuits related to sexual harassment and wage disputes.

    A scathing review by The New York Times criticized the restaurant’s plating and suggested a decline in its standards, which may have impacted its popularity.

    The restaurant industry in New York City was evolving, with a shift in dining preferences and a move of high-wealth residents to different neighborhoods, impacting Le Cirque’s customer base.

    After President Trump chose it for a fundraising dinner on September 26, 2017, an account under owner Sirio Maccioni’s name issued the following (since-deleted) response to a Yelp review that alleged the restaurant was “aiding and abetting fascists and white supremacists.”

    Son Mauro Maccioni, a manager, (who was not reachable by phone) told Eater that a restaurant employee named Carlo Mantica, not his father, was responsible for the controversial response: “It was a mistake to engage, and Mr. Mantica’s views are his own and not those of the company,” Mauro said.

    Gaza hunger crisis intensifies amid ongoing conflict and aid restrictions. The situation in Gaza remains critical, with widespread hunger and a rising number of deaths linked to malnutrition, according to the World Health Organization and numerous humanitarian agencies. An international food security authority warns of a “worst-case scenario of famine” unfolding in the territory.

    Here’s a breakdown of the current situation:

    Widespread Hunger and Malnutrition:
    The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global standard for measuring food insecurity, states that Gaza has been on the brink of famine for two years and the situation has dramatically worsened.
    Around 470,000 people are facing catastrophic hunger, with the entire population of 2.23 million facing high levels of acute food insecurity.

    <><>One in three people are going without food for days, with the proportion of households experiencing extreme hunger doubling between May and July 2025.
    In northern Gaza, 81% of households reported poor food consumption in July, a significant increase from 33% in April.

    Escalating Deaths: The Palestinian Health Ministry reported 43 deaths due to hunger in the five days leading up to July 23, 2025. As of July 26, 2025, 127 Palestinians have died from malnutrition most were children.

    However, according to NBC News, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza stated on July 31, 2025, that 154 people had died from starvation since the war began, including 89 children. The World Health Organization reported that 63 out of 74 malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza in 2025 occurred in July. The number of malnutrition-related deaths is rapidly increasing.

    Children Particularly Vulnerable:
    Over 320,000 children under five in Gaza are at risk of acute malnutrition, with thousands suffering from severe acute malnutrition, the deadliest form of undernutrition.
    The overall rate of acute malnutrition among screened children increased from 2.4% in February to 6% in June and 8.8% in July.

    In Gaza City, acute malnutrition prevalence soared from 4.4% in May to 16.5% in early July, reaching the threshold for famine.

    Ten child deaths from severe acute malnutrition were reported in July, increasing the overall death toll reported by partners in 2025 to 17. A severely malnourished child is over ten times more likely to die than a well-nourished peer.

    Overwhelmed Hospitals:
    Hospitals are overflowing with malnourished patients and are reaching their “breaking point”.
    Doctors have reportedly fainted from hunger while trying to treat patients. Nearly 94% of Gaza’s 36 hospitals have been damaged or destroyed.

    Dangerous Conditions for Aid Seekers:
    Over 1,000 Palestinians have died trying to access food in recent weeks. Distribution sites, some controlled by the Israeli military, have become increasingly dangerous, with reports of shootings and stampedes resulting in mass casualties.

    Human Rights Watch reports that Israeli forces at the sites of a new US-backed aid distribution system have routinely opened fire on starving Palestinian civilians, acts that amount to serious violations of international law and war crimes.

    Aid Restrictions and Distribution Challenges:
    Israel has faced growing international condemnation for its restrictions on aid distribution, with some experts alleging violations of international humanitarian law.
    Israel eased some restrictions in May but humanitarian groups say the aid allowed into Gaza isn’t enough.
    Distribution is further hampered by security impediments and a breakdown in law and order.

    Israel maintains that the restrictions are necessary to prevent Hamas from diverting aid. However, an internal US government review found no evidence of widespread theft by Hamas of US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza.
    Airdrops have been widely criticized by aid groups as insufficient to address the humanitarian crisis and potentially dangerous.

    Israel’s Position:
    Israeli officials deny the existence of starvation in Gaza and claim that Israel has supplied enough aid.
    Israel has announced daily “humanitarian pauses” in military activity in parts of Gaza and the establishment of “secure routes” for aid convoys. However, these measures have been criticized as insufficient and deceptive by Hamas and some aid organizations.
    New York Times Controversy:

    The New York Times recently published a story detailing children’s starvation in Gaza, including a photograph of a severely malnourished baby. The Times later issued a correction, stating that the baby had a pre-existing medical condition influencing his appearance.

    This sparked criticism from pro-Palestinian activists, who accused the Times of downplaying the suffering in Gaza.
    The New York Times building was vandalized with red paint and the message “NYT LIES, GAZA DIES”.

    The situation in Gaza remains dire, with a growing number of organizations describing it as a looming famine. The international community continues to call for Israel to ease restrictions on aid and for an immediate ceasefire to alleviate the crisis.
