Key Takeaways
- <ul><li><strong>Targeting food distribution constitutes genocidal warfare under international law established at Nuremberg</strong>: Shooting civilians seeking aid violates Geneva Conventions that protect non-combatants during armed conflict. Nazi starvation tactics in Warsaw Ghetto established legal precedents that define systematic civilian targeting as crimes against humanity requiring international prosecution.</li><li><strong>American tax dollars fund systematic civilian killing through $3.8 billion annual military aid</strong>: Israeli forces use American weapons to shoot people at food lines while Congress continues funding without conditions. The Foreign Assistance Act requires human rights compliance
- but enforcement disappears when geopolitical allies commit documented atrocities against protected populations.</li><li><strong>Journalist casualties exceed all historical conflicts combined to silence documentation of systematic atrocities</strong>: Over 200 media workers killed represents deliberate effort to prevent genocide documentation that led to Nuremberg prosecutions. Press freedom organizations declare this the deadliest conflict for journalists in recorded history
- eliminating witnesses to systematic civilian targeting.</li><li><strong>Eighty starving children prove starvation warfare effectiveness while epidemic diseases spread through blocked medical aid</strong>: Collective punishment through medical and food blockades replicates siege warfare tactics banned under international humanitarian law. Medieval sieges of civilian populations established legal prohibitions that modern warfare supposedly eliminated through Geneva Convention protections.</li></ul>

Why This Matters
Shooting starving civilians at food lines meets the legal definition of genocide
International courts define targeting civilian food access as genocidal acts—yet U.S. weapons enable these war crimes daily.
Your tax dollars fund the bullets killing children waiting for bread
The U.S. provides $3.8 billion annually in military aid used to enforce starvation as a weapon of war.
217 journalists killed trying to document these atrocities—more than any conflict in history
When reporters can't survive to tell the story, genocide becomes invisible to the world.
