Instead @nytimes.com reports on neither while deflecting attention away from the famine.

Please immediately correct this reporting.

Yet @nytimes.com amplifies this as a 'real dispute'. Without vetting the three page report. While repeating the US and Israel's erroneous narrative? Wow.

Israel’s use of food as a weapon has been well-documented.

The headlines should be:
1. The famine
2. The State department's role

To recap:

Famine in Gaza was identified using long standing criteria: deaths per day, extreme food shortages, and mass malnutrition.

Without even reading the report, the State Dept dismissed it report and *had it removed*.

Meanwhile, here's a key Q:

If the government doesn't want to address two state solution, illegal WB settlements or root issues (e.g. right of return) what peace prospects existed without annihilating or cleansing before 2023?

Occam's razor: there was no interest or strategy for peace.

Food insecurity, unemployment, poverty & corruption were top Gazan concerns in 2022.

If the goal was to improve security by eradicating Hamas wouldn't it have made sense to help solve these issues vs collective punishment?

Global food production is *the* biggest pressure on earth systems.

And we need equal effort to decarbonize and reduce energy pressure.

But food also holds huge opportunities:

It being politicized can be good but don’t fall for denial & power tactics.
