“Many
new tyrants keep a copy of Mein Kampf in their drawer; it could still come in
handy, maybe [NOW]
with some adjustments or the substitution of some names.”
( Primo Levi, 1986)
STARVATION - Global Rights

This food i eat
sticks in my throat
the inedible thoughts
of monsters must surely
torment me
sleepless i sleepwalk
through
this nightmare
fooling myself
all is well and
safe and sound
in a wicked world
with little wonder
left.
This food i eat
i cannot swallow.
These sleepless nights
storm restlessly through
my dreams
just like the ghosts
of what could have been
but now will not nor ever
can nor will be
no more.
“NEVER AGAIN”, they whispered. (...Contd.)

UPDATE - 22 August 2025: "It is a Famine - The Gaza Famine"
"More than half a million people in Gaza are trapped in famine, marked by widespread starvation, destitution and preventable deaths, according to a new UN-backed food security report released on Friday.
"...UN human rights chief Volker Türk said the famine was the “direct result” of Israeli Government policies.
"...Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel. It is a famine within a few hundred metres of food, in a fertile land.
"...It is a famine that we repeatedly warned of – but that the international media has not been allowed in to cover, to bear witness,” he added.
“It is a famine in 2025. A 21st century famine watched over by drones and the most advanced military technology in history. It is a famine openly promoted by some Israeli leaders as a weapon of war.”
“It is a war crime to use starvation as a method of warfare, and the resulting deaths may also amount to the war crime of willful killing,” he said."
