"Deliberate Siege Tactic Causes Mass Starvation in Gaza"
Human Rights Watch report details how Israel has deliberately used starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza, with high-ranking officials openly expressing their aim to deprive civilians of food, water, and fuel. Despite overwhelming evidence and statements from major humanitarian and human rights groups, US media largely fails to frame the mass starvation as a deliberate siege tactic, instead depicting it as a natural disaster. This framing obscures responsibility and intent, contrasting with how Western media covered Russia's use of hunger as a weapon in Ukraine. The failure to assign blame and intentionality in reporting on the deliberate policy of starvation by the US and Israel undermines the true nature of the crisis.
