NETANYAHU'S "HUNGER PLAN" ON HOLD AS FOOD BARGE ARRIVES IN GAZA

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's apparent "plan" to "ethnically cleanse" Gaza by starving millions of Gazans was in tatters yesterday, as a food barge with 200 tons arrived. This is the first delivery of its kind and part of a plan to greatly boost the amount of food reaching the starving citizens of Gaza.

As reported by the Washington Post:

"The boat was dispatched by the U.S. nonprofit World Central Kitchen, founded by chef José Andrés, and the Spanish search-and-rescue group Open Arms. It traveled from Cyprus to test a new maritime corridor for ramping up aid to the beleaguered Gaza Strip, but many of the logistical details were still shrouded in uncertainty Friday, including how the meals would be safely distributed in a region on the brink of famine."

The barge bearing the food was able to offload pallets of food to a jetty, recently constructed from rubble created by heavy Israeli bombing, provoked and partly justified by a terrorist attack against Israelis some months ago.

Establishing a direct maritime connection means that it will be much harder for Netanyahu's army to keep extreme hunger pressure on the Gazan population.

In recent weeks, a growing number of critics have "controversially" linked the actions of the Netanyahu government to Hitler's infamous "Hunger Plan" that aimed to depopulate large parts of Eastern Europe through starvation.

At first, this onerous comparison was made mainly by Muslims and "hard left" Jewish critics of Netanyahu, but with the Gaza Health Ministry reporting at least 27 children dead from malnutrition and the United Nations warning of  “catastrophic levels of deprivation and starvation” in Gaza, more people were starting to see at least a vague similarity to Hitler's genocidal policies, something not only negative in its own right but also delegitimizing of the moral basis for the foundation of Israel.

The new food port therefore could help rescue not only malnourished Gazans, but also the State of Israel's increasingly tarnished reputation and perceived right to exist.
