Since its founding, the UN’s world hunger monitoring group has confirmed only 4 official famines: Somalia 2011, South Sudan 2017, Sudan 2024, and Gaza City now. Entirely caused by Israel’s use of famine as a weapon of war. As a Jewish survivor of war myself, I’m ashamed of a country I once loved.

It's not a duty of journalists to repeat the claims of proven liars and pretend those claims are credible. That's the job of propagandists and enablers.

Meanwhile, the lunatic at the helm spews nonsense daily & there's not a hint about the wannabe emperor's fetid diaper or rotten mind.
