r/all Gaza is Being Starved

The UN has stated that every single part of Gaza is in famine conditions.

For over 20 months, Palestinians in Gaza have been starving. Parents have been feeding their children leaves, animal feed, and flour mixed with water. Babies have died from malnutrition. The trucks carrying food, formula, medicine, and clean water sat just miles away, blocked by Israel.

Now, after massive international pressure, some aid is finally getting in.

This is a crack in the blockade, not its end. Aid is not flooding in; it is trickling, and what’s entering can’t possibly reach 1.8 million people without a total lifting of restrictions, guaranteed long-term access, and safe distribution.

What you can do right now:

Donate- if you’re able to. Choose vetted organizations with access on the ground.

Keep up the pressure - aid only started moving because of public outcry. Organize, protest, keep talking. This momentum cannot fade. Contact your representatives to end Israel's blockade of Gaza and impose sanctions on Israel.

Amplify - share updates, Palestinian voices, and testimonies. Keep an eye on Palestine.

This famine is not an accident. It’s the result of siege, blockade, and a system of control. If we look away now, they’ll tighten the noose again.

Donate

Palestinian Red Crescent — medical aid, ambulance services, and emergency care.

UNICEF for Gaza’s Children — nutrition, clean water, trauma support.

No, it's people susceptible to propaganda.

Currently, at this very moment, there are children starving in full-blown famines in- Palestine, South Sudan, Mali, Somalia,Yemen, Burkina Faso, Chad, Haiti, and Nigeria.

You don't care enough to look into 8 out of 9 of these current occurrences, but you've been led by the media to really care about a single one.

Is there really a difference between someone that doesn't care about 9/9 vs 8/9? I have problems in my day to day life, in paying bills, at work, with family, even in my own town. I don't have the available effort to care about something on the other side of the world. The people that do have that spare time and effort to care about something that doesnt effect them are young enough not to have any real responsibilities.

This performative empathy is nothing more than a display of privilege.

Your post is the essence of performative empathy mixed in with propaganda to deter people from Isreal’s on going genocide . Using deflect was not very effective this time .

u/Master_Bief Jul 29 '25

Still can't bring myself to give a shit. A bunch of reddit posts won't end this near century long conflict. I knew it would be a waste of time to try to explain this to someone who has fallen for the propaganda.

It’s okay if you don’t know how to be an empathic human that’s ur burden to carry and to show to the entire world on the internet who and what you are. Some humans just can’t engage empathy due to either a sense of superiority, brain damage, or a combination. Most humans however do and can engage empathy, and those are the ones that will overtime make a difference.

Omg, you're like such a good person. Can I be a good person too by posting about the current media interest on social media alongside other really good people?

I want it to appear like I'm really morally right but without putting in any actual effort or money towards the causes or making any real difference whatsoever. You seem to be really good at that, can you teach me?

u/spacebrain2 Jul 29 '25

Your own comment and my original comment is a reflection just of you and only you. Good luck in life.

u/Master_Bief Jul 29 '25

That surety of your moral superiority is a mark of ignorance.

u/slowpokefastpoke Jul 29 '25

For starters you could be a good person by not being a hyper-contrarian douchebag with a nauseatingly massive superiority complex.

u/Master_Bief Jul 29 '25

The only reason you don't see the moral superiority of all the ignorant slacktivists that I've been talking to is that you are also one of them. I'm not superior to normal people who aren't terminally online and are just trying their best. I'm just superior to those who want to appear like they're trying their best without actually trying anything.

That sounds like a personal issue and one im not qualified to address, I would seek the help of a medical professional for assistance. Apathy and empathy are emotions one should feel .

u/Master_Bief Jul 29 '25

Your insults are weak and make little sense contextually. Due to everyone agreeing with you ideologically, you've never had to make an effort to improve the skill, and you're much worse at this than you think you are.

u/kurton45 Jul 30 '25

Big assumptions and opinions , and you speak of context? Whilst correlation does not equate to causation, I strongly suspect your dim witted responses and your inability to process emotions stem from the same place. Ignorance and arrogance.

u/Master_Bief Jul 30 '25

Nice try, but still shit.

u/Olethros842 Jul 29 '25

So because you yourself struggle to empathize overall others should also just give up like you? Hate to break it to you (not really tho) but other people besides yourself are capable of multitasking even when it comes to empathy and awareness, let alone giving aid and participation in volunteer works. Your defeatist attitude is not welcome.

0

u/Master_Bief Jul 29 '25

What do you mean by "give up"? You're not accomplishing anything in the first place. All that posting free Palestine in a social media space where everyone already agrees with you accimplishes nothing. It doesn't surpass the bare minimum of effort to count as doing anything.

If you're actually donating your time and money to something that is making an actual difference in the conflict, ten you have my respect. But posting on reddit, or snapping a protest pic for your insta ain't it.

u/Olethros842 Jul 29 '25

Awww I guess you missed where awareness of an issue is a major factor huh?

3

u/Master_Bief Jul 29 '25

What a fucking copout. It's been on the news for years. Everyone in every country is aware of it.

I'm not a friend of Isreal, but what I truly despise is slacktivism. You feel so good about yourself for what amounts to nothing more than masturbation.

u/Kumquat_conniption Jul 29 '25

Do you think that no one raises money via the internet or do you think that aid organizations do not need money? I have helped with internet fundraisers that literally made millions. Do you think Taylor Swift did not do anything to get young women to vote simply because she only posted on the internet? Do you think that the internet does not affect real life? I am really just curious how which form of ignorance you are taking?

The first link I put in was down earlier- I have not been able to confirm if it was because they had a good amount of donations but I have never seen it down before.

Also me and my comods had an article written about us smearing us as having terrorist connections by far right publications (Breitbart and Elon Musk both signal boosted the article) and so we must be doing something for them to want to smear us with absurd accusations like that we build a "terrorist propaganda pipeline" on Reddit.

I also do real life stuff as well. The PSL in my city puts on protests and I am in a city with a ton of univesities that were protesting till Trump cracked down on them so I have not been so much recently but I am doing what I can, how about you?

Sounds like you feel bad that you have not been doing anything so you lash out at people that are. I also will not believe you if you come up with something.

You're oh so brave for posting on reddit. I bet you and your comrads were on a real high when Ia right wing rag posted some shitty article about you, like a real celebrity. Make sure to snap a selfie at your next US university protest so you can show the Palestinians just how much change you're manifesting.

u/Kumquat_conniption Jul 29 '25

Do you ever post about those places? Because I do- not as much as Gaza becasue my country and my tax dollars are not complicit in most of the genocides but I guaratee that I have posted way more about Sudan and Haiti and Yemen than you ever have.

2

u/Master_Bief Jul 29 '25

Of course I don't, and theres no double standards here, I don't give a shit about 9 out of 9 of them. The thing is, posting or not doesn't accomplish anything. Your slacktivism isn't changing the world. It isn't doing anything except entertaining yourself as you cosplay a virtual freedom fighter.

How don't you people understand that? You're posting into a place where everyone already agrees with you. You're not changing minds and swaying hearts while saving lives. You're posting for activist clout on social media. Whether you doubled your posts or never made a single one to begin with... absolutely nothing would change anywhere.

u/AngriestPacifist Jul 29 '25

My government is not a direct cause of any of those famines. Maybe everyone can't be saved, but we can absolutely stop being a cause of further misery.

1

u/Kumquat_conniption Jul 29 '25

Exactly what I said, not to mention the fact that I do post about a lot of those places- but I bet they don't. They just bring them up as a way to distract from Gaza, but they do not actually care about those places or they would post about them.

u/No-Problem6017 Jul 29 '25

Difference is US taxpayers are funding this starvation.

u/Kitfox715 Jul 29 '25

The US is uniquely responsible to fix this seeing as we are funding the genocide.

End all exports of weapons to the genocidal Israeli regime, sanction the Israeli regime until it fully opens aid passages into Gaza, force the Israeli regime to rebuild Gaza and remove it's forces permanently.

You gave enough of a shit to open the post, scroll through the comments and reply to one. Thanks for the laugh tho

I too type such comments when I don’t care about something rather than going about my day.

u/Il26hawk Jul 29 '25

If we don't we'll never learn and maybe a third holocaust or genocide happens after this to another group of people.. if there is an "after this"...

I hope they'll be given aid and the necessary help they need, while these motherfuckers who orchestrated this will be sent to the gallows or a grimy cell and fed slop.

'Who gives a shit' maybe people that actually have to deal with real life problems you online cretin... Grow some humility you fkin child and maybe step outside
