PNN – Western officials and media, who have been justifying genocide against Gaza for about 2 years and have directly participated in this crime, are today taking apparent positions against imposing starvation on the people of Gaza.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Al Jazeera, After 21 months of silence from Western and American media regarding the brutal crimes of the Zionist regime against civilians in the Gaza Strip, it seems that these media outlets, such as CNN and MSNBC, have apparently woken up and are all talking about the famine and hunger crisis in Gaza today.
The pain of hunger in Gaza and the awakening of the people of the world
We are also witnessing a growing shift in the rigid frameworks of Western and American media that previously justified the occupiers’ crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza since the beginning of the war, and cracks have appeared in these frameworks. For the umpteenth week in a row, the world has witnessed images of starving children in Gaza, reduced to skeletons, dying of hunger without a glimmer of hope. Heba Al-Maqdameh, a 24-year-old Palestinian journalist who still lives in Gaza City, says: In Gaza, hunger has become the Zionist regime’s deadliest weapon against the Palestinian people, surpassing even bombs. There are no children in Gaza anymore, and everyone is dying of hunger.
In his book “Taste,” Western actor, writer, and human rights activist Stanley Tucci recounts his lifelong love of food and its appeal, saying: I soon realized that some of people’s favorite scenes in cinema are those involving eating, and watching people eat is very appealing.

This Western author emphasized in his book: People love watching movies about food and cooking shows because food makes us all feel like we are part of a human family. So that’s exactly why we suffer so much when we see people deprived of the simple act of eating.
A Gazan doctor posted a photo of a skinny child with a thin skin stretched over his skeleton, writing, “We are hungry and they are still in pain.”
These images force every human being to seek a solution and to work to urgently provide food to the hungry, because watching others starve means suffering and the slow and deliberate destruction of humanity. But this public reaction is completely different from the reactions of the perpetrators of the famine disaster and the governments and parties that help these perpetrators.
In the streets of New York, demonstrations in front of the UN headquarters in support of Gaza and condemnation of Zionist crimes continue. On the Greek islands, people are preventing cruise ships carrying Zionist tourists from docking, and in Belgium, two Zionist soldiers have been arrested on charges of war crimes.
The secret behind the turn of Western officials and platforms in the face of Gaza’s pain
Even human rights organizations, which until now did not dare to speak out about the Zionist regime’s genocidal crime against Gaza, have begun to wake up and regain their humanity. Even Zionist institutions admit to the crimes of this regime against Gaza, and the Zionist organization “B’Tselem” announced in a video report about the painful situation in Gaza that our destruction is now taking place. The Zionist organization called “Physicians for Human Rights” also admitted that what is happening in Gaza is genocide.
CNN also recently published a report with the headline, “More than 100 aid agencies warn of spreading hunger in Gaza.”
Some Western officials have recently begun to criticize the Zionist regime for the crime of starvation against Gaza. But the question that arises is why Western leaders have been silent until now. People like Keir Starmer, the British Prime Minister, knew from the beginning what the Zionist regime was doing, and even the UK was participating in and aiding the crimes of this regime.
Although expressing disgust at the crime is important, in the case of Western leaders’ reaction to the events in Gaza, their motivations for criticizing the Zionist regime cannot be considered a genuine humanitarian response or moral outrage; rather, these stances are based solely on selfish calculations that do not lead to any effective steps being taken to stop the Zionist regime’s crimes.
Max Blumenthal, an American journalist and filmmaker, says about the concerns expressed by American Democratic leaders such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton regarding the events in Gaza: This was an attempt to escape scandal after years of silence, and these statements are nothing more than an attempt to escape the accusation of complicity in genocide.
Heba Al-Maqdameh, a 24-year-old Palestinian journalist, said in response to the positions of Western officials regarding the famine disaster in Gaza: We don’t need pity, we need to pressure those who have withheld food from Gaza and those who have the power to stop this famine but are not doing anything.
In the end, this genocide through starvation is not only an unbearable suffering for the people of Gaza; it is an attack on all of us and on humanity in the world, and everyone is a partner in it.
