Israel/OPT: New testimonies provide compelling evidence that Israel’s starvation of Palestinians in Gaza is a deliberate policy

The struggle for basic needs extends beyond food. Diapers are unattainable, forcing S to tear her clothes for makeshift ones, which are impossible to wash due to lack of clean water – the result of the destruction or severe damage of Gaza’s water and sanitation systems. The tent in which she lives with her husband and two children is infested with rats, mosquitoes and cockroaches. Her baby daughter developed a bacterial skin infection, which she is unable to treat because antibiotics and ointments are unavailable.

Humanitarian workers at two organizations who spoke to Amnesty International on condition of anonymity mentioned that their organizations’ requests to bring in antibiotics were rejected by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), a unit at Israel’s Ministry of Defense tasked with processing requests for the coordination and approval of entry of supplies.

The mental harm of starvation, including trauma, guilt, and shame, are also shared by pregnant women interviewed by Amnesty International. Hadeel, 28, a four-months pregnant mother of two, described her fear for her fetus as she barely feels its movement or heartbeat inside her. She feels guilt for her pregnancy, knowing that she cannot feed herself: “I fear miscarriage, but I also think about my baby: I panic just thinking about the potential impact of my own hunger on the baby’s health, its weight, whether it will have [birth defects], and even if the baby is born healthy, what life awaits it, amidst displacement, bombs, tents…”

(…)

Aziza, 75, told Amnesty International of her wish to die:

“I feel like I have become a burden on my family. When we were displaced, they had to push me on a wheelchair. With toilet queues extremely long in the camp where we stay, I need adult diapers, which are extremely expensive. I need medication for diabetes, blood pressure and a heart condition, and have had to take medicine which has expired. I always feel like these young children, they are the ones who deserve to live, my grandchildren. I feel like I’m a burden on them, on my son.”

MSF finds one in four young children and pregnant women malnourished at Gaza facilities

The Israeli authorities’ deliberate use of starvation as a weapon in Gaza, Palestine, continues, seeing hunger reach unprecedented levels, with patients and healthcare workers themselves now fighting to survive, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warns.

MSF staff are receiving an increasing number of malnourished patients at our clinics, while they themselves struggle to find sufficient food. Across screenings of children aged six months to five years old, and of pregnant and breastfeeding women, at MSF facilities last week, 25 per cent were malnourished. At the MSF clinic in Gaza City, in the north of the Strip, the number of people enrolled for malnutrition treatment has quadrupled since 18 May, while rates of severe malnutrition in children under five have tripled in the last two weeks alone.

This is not just hunger – it is deliberate starvation, manufactured by the Israeli authorities. The weaponisation of food to exert pressure on a civilian population must not be normalised. The Israeli authorities must allow food and aid supplies into Gaza at scale.

Gaza: Evidence points to Israel’s continued use of starvation to inflict genocide against Palestinians

(July 3, 2025)

Susan Maarouf, a nutritional expert at the Nutrition unit in the Patient Friend Benevolent Society hospital in Gaza City, supported by the organization MedGlobal, said that in June 2024 the hospital opened a dedicated department for children aged six months to and five years to manage cases of severe malnutrition.

“Back then, Gaza City and the North Gaza governorate were hit by malnutrition [as a result of the tight blockade]. But this year for us the situation began to drastically get worse again in April. Since then, out of approximately 200-250 children we have screened daily for malnutrition. Nearly 15% showed signs associated with severe or moderate malnutrition,” she said.

In the worst cases visible signs include pale skin, falling hair and nails, and alarming weight loss. She expressed the profound helplessness of offering nutritional advice amid severe shortages of food, with fruit, vegetables and eggs only available at exorbitant prices, if at all: “In an ideal world, I would recommend the parents to provide the child with nutritious food, rich with protein. I would advise that they maintain a hygienic environment for their children; I would stress the importance of clean water… In our situation… any recommendation you give … sometimes you feel like you are rubbing salt into these parents’ wounds.”

Dr. Maarouf described the relentless cycle of malnutrition stating that in some cases children were re-hospitalized after being discharged:

“We treated one little girl, aged six, for nutritional edema, she had severe protein deficiency when she came in early May; with the treatment we gave her she showed signs of improvement, including gaining weight, becoming livelier… unfortunately she was recently admitted again because her condition relapsed. Like most families in Gaza, her family is displaced; they live in a tent; they have to rely on the lentil or rice they get from the community kitchen. It’s a cycle. With no aid getting in, you feel like as a hospital you only patch up the wound but eventually it will burst again.”

Doctors have also warned that the lives of newborn babies are at risk amid acute shortages of baby formula milk, especially for children with lactose-intolerance or other allergies.

One doctor said: “There is a milk crisis in Gaza overall. Also, we notice that new mothers, because they themselves are not eating properly or because of the panic, trauma and anxiety, are unable to breastfeed. So, to secure baby formula at all is a struggle. But if your child has allergies, it’s almost impossible to find special formula in any of Gaza’s hospitals for infants the failure to secure special baby formula can be a death sentence.”

At Nasser hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, Dr. Wafaa Abu Nimer confirmed the dire situation, reporting that by 30 June 2025, 9 children were still being treated for malnutrition-related complications at her facility alone. She described the scenes they have witnessed over the past two months as “really unprecedented” with severe cases of nutritional edema or marasmus, muscle wasting. She also said that some are additionally suffering from injuries due to explosions from which they have not recovered.

Dr. Abu Nimer said that since Israel’s new aid distribution scheme began there has been no signs of improvement in the situation with hundreds of children screened for malnutrition on a daily basis in their pediatric emergency room. Mass displacement orders issued to the Khan Younis governorate in May made Nasser hospital out of reach for thousands of displaced families.

Dr. Abu Nimer described to Amnesty how the impact on children extends beyond the physical. “One girl whose hair fell out almost completely as a result of nutritional edema, kept asking me ‘doctor, will my hair grow again? Am I [still] beautiful?’ Abu Nimer said. “Even if these children recover completely, the scars will always remain with them. Medically we know that malnutrition amongst infants and small children may have long-term cognitive and developmental effects, but I don’t think enough attention is being given to the mental health and psychological impact [of starvation and war] on children and parents.”

She also conveyed the exhaustion felt by medical staff: “We as doctors are also exhausted, we are malnourished ourselves, most of us are also displaced and live in tents, yet we do our best to offer medical care, provide nutrient supplements and as much support as we can. We try to save lives, we try to alleviate the suffering, but there is very little we can do after discharge.”

“More than a human can bear”: Israel‘s systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since October 2023

“The evidence collected by the Commission reveals a deplorable increase in sexual and gender-based violence,” said Navi Pillay, Chair of the Commission. “There is no escape from the conclusion that Israel has employed sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians to terrorise them and perpetuate a system of oppression that undermines their right to self-determination.”

The release of the report was accompanied by two days of public hearings held in Geneva on 11-12 March, during which the Commission heard from victims and witnesses of sexual and reproductive violence and medical personnel who assisted them, as well as representatives from civil society, academics, lawyers and medical experts.

The report found that sexual and gender-based violence – which has risen in frequency and severity – is being perpetrated across the Occupied Palestinian Territory as a strategy of war for Israel to dominate and destroy the Palestinian people.

Specific forms of sexual and gender-based violence – such as forced public stripping and nudity, sexual harassment including threats of rape, as well as sexual assault – comprise part of the Israeli Security Forces’ standard operating procedures toward Palestinians.

Other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, including rape and violence to the genitals, were committed either under explicit orders or with implicit encouragement by Israel’s top civilian and military leadership, the report said.

U.N. report accuses Israel of sexual violence, ‘genocidal acts’ in Gaza

A U.N. report released Thursday accused Israel of carrying out “systematic” gender-based violence during its 17-month war in the Gaza Strip, including by shelling fertility clinics and hospital maternity wards, causing maternal deaths by blocking aid deliveries, and subjecting male and female detainees to sexual humiliation or abuse.

The 49-page report, by a U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry, said that “Israeli authorities have destroyed in part the reproductive capacity of the Palestinians in Gaza as a group, including by imposing measures intended to prevent births, one of the categories of genocidal acts in the Rome Statute and the Genocide Convention.”

DER TERRORKRIEG: Strategie der Transformation

(7.Februar 2015)

Zusammengefasst und einfach erklärt, ist die Strategie des Terrorkrieges diejenigen zu verändern, zu transformieren, die ihn führen.

Folgende Prozesse bzw Programme sind unserer Einschätzung nach Teil dieser Kriegsstrategie seit 2001. Teilweise bauen sie aufeinander auf. Ebenso ist von unterschiedlichen Phasen auszugehen, in denen von entsprechenden Autoritäten und / oder Institutionen die jeweiligen Programme gestartet, regional / im geostrategischen Kontext gestoppt bzw nach eigenem Ermessen beschleunigt, verlangsamt oder angepasst werden.

– Weiterentwicklung bzw Neuausrichtung des bereits vor Kriegsausbruch ausgerufenen und bis zum Jahre 2020 zielenden „Masterplan“, der U.S. Militärdoktrin „Joint Vision 2020“, mit Anspruch und Zielsetzung der „Full Spectrum Dominance“.

– immaterielle und materielle Enteignung der Bevölkerungen im Einflussbereich. Zum immateriellen Sektor ist jedwedes Recht zu rechnen, vorneweg die jeweiligen Verfassungen und Grundrechte, sowie auf internationale Ebene das Völkerrecht, mit dem jeweiligen Schutz vor u.a. Krieg, Invasion, Besatzung, Kriegszustand bzw Kriegsrecht / Ausnahmezustand, Gefangennahme, Kerker, Folter, Verlust des eigenen Lebens. Unter immateriellen Güter sind u.a. zu rechnen: Streikrecht, Versammlungsfreiheit, Meinungsfreiheit, Pressefreiheit, die Freiheit „sich aus allgemein zugänglichen Quellen ungehindert zu unterrichten“ (Artikel 5 Grundgesetz), die Privatsphäre, die eigene Lebensgestaltung, sowie alle anderen Freiheiten und Rechte die die jeweilige normale Lebensweise repräsentieren bzw vor staatlich-kommerziellem Zugriff sichern.

– Zerstörung bzw Zersetzung des Völkerrechts durch „Erniedrigung und Zerstörung“ der Vertragspartner, der Staaten selbst. Diesbezüglicher Beginn bei den schwächsten, ärmsten, greifbaren und / oder international isolierten Staaten. (Hinweis unter Vorgriff auf noch folgenden Artikel zur Umschreibung der Taktiken des Terrorkrieges: Ob durch Finanzsysteme / finanzielle Mittel, reguläre / irreguläre Kriegführung oder Umstürze ist zur Zerstörung bzw Zersetzung der anvisierten Zielstaaten strategisch irrelevant; diese Methoden / Mittel können allerdings kombiniert werden. Anm.: Militärische oder paramilitärische (terroristische) Gruppierungen, wie auch immer sie sich nennen oder genannt werden, sind keine Staaten.)

– Entstaatlichung nach Maßgabe des „Davos-Menschen“ (Samuel Huntington) und dem „Clash of Civilizations“ (Konzept aus 1992). Errichtung einer entsprechenden „Neuen Weltordnung“ mit Orwellschen (trans)kontinentalen Blöcken, die sich und ihre jeweilige „Machtarchitektur“ im Zuge des endlosen Krieges gegenseitig stabilisieren.

– Sicherung des weltweiten, nie legitimierten oder gar gewählten Interbankensystems und seiner Systembanken, durch Erklärung von deren „Systemrelevanz“ durch die 19 weltweit mächtigsten Staatsregierungen und Zentralbanker, sowie die Zentralbank und Repräsentanten des Staatenbundes „Europäische Union“ (so geschehen am 4. November 2011)

– Kommerzialisierung („Privatisierung“) praktisch aller greifbaren öffentlichen und / oder allgemeinen gesellschaftlichen Güter. (Metapher: In einer Gesellschaft ohne öffentliche Güter ist der Staat lediglich Durchsetzungsorgan bzw Verwaltungsinstrument der Besitzenden und ihrer Konsortien.)

– Vorhergehend: Kontrollerlangung über Politik (Parteien, Organisationen, Behörden, Funktionäre, etc), Wissenschaft (z.B. akadamische Kreise und Einrichtungen), Kultur (Kunst, Sprache, Sport, „Musikindustrie“, „Filmindustrie“, Informationsindustrie / Presse, Medien), Kommunikation, sowie die entsprechenden Infrastrukturen und Stätten. Deren „Beschränkung“ (Zitat: Artikel 10-Gesetz, übrigens seit 1968) nach eigenem Ermessen. Neutralisierung von nicht kontrollierten Individuen bzw „Multiplikatoren“ in entsprechenden gesellschaftlichen Schlüsselpositionen. Entsprechend Informationskontrolle bzw den Zugang zu Informationen, Wissen, Bildung und eigenständiger Reflexion für die Breite der Bevölkerung zu erschweren oder zu eliminieren (Beispiel: Bologna-Prozess, mind. 9000 britische Pfund Studiengebühren für ein akademisches Jahr, an „privaten“ Universitäten noch mehr).

– Förderung bzw Beförderung vom klassischen militärisch-industriellen, sowie dem durch Ausrauben und Manipulation des rasch expandierenden zivilen World Wide Web gewachsenen geheimdienstlichen, „sicherheits-industriellen Komplex“ bzw global engmaschig vernetzten Konsortien und (trans-)staatlichen Strukturen.

– Förderung bzw Beförderung von Trivialisierung, Barbarisierung, Werteverlust, nachfolgend Destabilisierung und letztlich Zerstörung der (demokratischen) Gesellschaften und sie verbindender Elemente, Strukturen und Schwerkraft. Diesbezüglich Angriff sowohl auf liberale, auf konservative / rechte, als auch fortschrittliche / linke, sozialdemokratische und sozialistische Traditionen und Normen, sowie auf die Familie, Vereine und (nicht kontrollierte) Zusammenschlüsse und Zusammkünfte jedweder Art. Angriff auf alle Kirchen und Religionen bzw deren Zersetzung und Diffamierung, nach jeweils wechselndem Muster und in Reihenfolge nach Wahl. Selektion der (regional) jeweils angreifbarsten.

– Verächtlichmachung, Schwächung, Zersetzung und letztlich Sturz von (parlamentarischer) Demokratie, demokratischem Recht, demokratischen Prozessen insgesamt, sowie der klassischen Gewaltenteilung (z.B. durch die Taktik des Interpretierens).

– Aufbau repressiver und manipulativer Systeme durch den jeweiligen (entdemokratisierten und damit entfesselten) Staat, unter dessen Rechtfertigung mittels der Kriegslogik, zu dessen „Eigensicherung“ und der Sicherung der hier beschriebenen Kriegsstrategie und ihrer Programme.

– Förderung bzw Beförderung von Entmenschlichung / Dehumanisierung, Entfremdung, Technisierung, Bürokratisierung der Gesellschaft; Sicherstellung, dass Interaktion der Menschen nicht mehr untereinander, sondern über / mit künstlichen bzw (informations)technischen Strukturen implementiert wird, bis hin zum Punkt der Verschmelzung und organisierten Verwechslung von Mensch und Maschine („Internet der Dinge“, „vom Internet zur Robotik“, Biomechanik, Stichwort: „Transhumanismus“), nachfolgend zur langfristigen „Überwindung“ und Auswechslung des Menschen selbst (Stichwort: „Posthumanismus“).

– Implementierung und Durchsetzung eines entsprechenden kommerziellen gentechnologischen Komplexes, sowie des Konzepts der Eugenik in der Gesellschaft. Ausführliche Dokumentation dazu: „Welt ohne Menschen“.

– Vorhergehend im Einflussbereich zielgerichtete und -strebige Errichtung von biometrischen (Daten-)Banken, Speicherung der DNA, sowie genetisch-biologische Durchleuchtung und Erfassung („biometrische Identifikation“) der gesamten Bevölkerung als Vorbedingung für physisch-biologischen Eingriff.

– Forcierte Weiterentwicklung, Implementierung und Durchsetzung „Künstlicher Intelligenz“ (K.I.) nach Vorgabe von Psychologie und Menschenbild der militärisch-kapitalistischen Spieltheorien, „dem simplen Modell der Menschen als selbstsüchtige, fast roboterhafte Kreaturen“.

– Kontrolle der Reproduktion des Homo Sapiens, als logische Weiterentwicklung der Doktrin „Full Spectrum Dominance“ und Umsetzung vollständiger Bevölkerungskontrolle.

World’s population likely to shrink after 50 years

(July 14, 2020)

The world’s population is likely to peak at 9.7 billion in 2064, and then decline to about 8.8 billion by the end of the century, as women get better access to education and contraception, a new study has found.

By 2100, 183 of 195 countries will not have fertility rates required to maintain the current population, with a projected 2.1 births per woman, researchers from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine said.

Some 23 countries – including Japan, Thailand, Italy, and Spain – will see populations shrink by more than 50%, researchers said

Menstrual changes after Covid vaccines may be far more common than previously known

(July 15, 2022)

A study found that 42% of people with regular menstrual cycles said they bled more heavily than usual after their Covid vaccination.

(…)

The new survey started in April 2021, around the time people began to report unexpected bleeding and heavier flow post-vaccine. However, these anecdotes were at the time met with the rebuttal that there was no data linking menstrual changes to vaccination.

That was both true and indicative of a larger problem. Individuals who took part in Covid vaccine trials were not asked if they experienced menstrual changes.

COVID-19 vaccines linked to small increase in menstrual cycle length

(January 25, 2022)

The study was funded by NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and Office of Research on Women’s Health. Results appeared in Obstetrics & Gynecology on January 5, 2022.

(…)

The team found that women who received a COVID-19 vaccine had an average increase in cycle length of nearly one day for each dose. Among women who received a two-dose vaccine, the first dose was associated with a 0.71-day increase in cycle length and the second dose with a 0.91-day increase. After adjustment for age, race and ethnicity, BMI, education, and other factors, the change in cycle length was still less than one day for each dose.

Receiving two vaccine doses within the same menstrual cycle increased the cycle length further—about two days on average. Women’s cycle lengths often fluctuate, and experts consider cycle variation of up to eight days to be normal. The longer menstrual cycles after vaccination decreased in subsequent cycles, suggesting they are likely temporary. The researchers did not find any effect of COVID-19 vaccination on the number of menstrual bleeding days.

Fertility rates down, death rates up as pandemic upends country’s demographics

The coronavirus pandemic has done a doozy on the country’s demographics, with fertility rates plummeting and death rates higher than expected for years to come, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.

Analysts are now figuring an additional 140,000 deaths per year, or about 4.5% extra, for the rest of this decade.

The fertility rate, meanwhile, has dropped to 1.6 births per woman. Even when it begins to rise again, it will plateau at 1.75 births — well below the 1.9 births CBO figured on before the pandemic, and far less than the 2.1-birth “replacement rate” needed to maintain the population.

Elon Musk has been talking about an ‘underpopulation crisis’ for years. So why did the U.S. birth rate rise 1% last year?

But a new report released Tuesday from the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that compiles health data and science, reveals that birth rates in the U.S. are not collapsing, and in fact rose 1% in 2021.

“The 1% increase in the number of births in 2021 was the first increase in births since 2014,” researchers for the National Vital Statistics System, the division within the NCHS that produces reports using birth data, wrote. The data, which is based on registered birth certificates, is provisional and could be subject to change.

Ähnliche Entwicklungen werden aus der Schweiz, Schweden, Taiwan, dem UK, Slowenien und einzelnen US-Bundesstaaten gemeldet. Aber sind diese Daten verlässlich?
