The depraved success of Hamas propaganda

There is no mass starvation in Gaza, deliberate or otherwise. There’s no genocide. There’s no ethnic cleansing. There is a war.

Civilians suffer during wartime. Somewhere around 40 million noncombatants died during World War II. Around 2 million during the Vietnam War. It’s likely that hundreds of thousands of civilians perished during the Iraq War. None of that is to even speak of the food insecurity, anarchy, and penury triggered by virtually every military conflict in history. Nearly 3 million people have been displaced by the conflicts in Sudan, not that you’d know it from the lack of coverage. There are no “colonizers” to be mad at.
