It's an engineered genocide, that's how.
But blither on about irreleancies without facing what's right in front of your eyes. It's the NYT way.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Goddamn NYT, the answer is right in front of you. Israel's US-backed Genocide. Stop humming and whistling around pretending you don't know.
How Did Hunger Get So Much Worse in Gaza?
Anyone still puzzled to get the answer to this question, isn't paying attention to the most obvious ethnic cleansing happening out in the open.
Nah, settlements are ethnic cleansing. This is genocide, plain and simple.
"Deaths in aid incidents" is weird phrasing
NYT loves using the passive voice to downplay killings by the powerful. Who can say how they died or who is responsible? Let's not dwell on trivialities.
You know how it is, they were just in the path of some bullets that were passing by. Unfortunate events...
I stopped reading the NYTimes after I cancelled my subscription around 2019, but occasionally check it to see how close they're willing to walk to saying difficult truths. This article is a reminder why I left. It's pathetic watching them sheepishly murmur ugly facts and whisper when they should shout.
Within Israel, aid restriction is a loudly debated topic: on one hand are organizations, politicians, and pundits who argue that Israel should cut off all aid in order to exterminate every person in Gaza. And on the other are the "moderates" who argue that it is important to allow in a miniscule-but-non-zero amount of aid intended to achieve the same purpose while maintaining the farcical pretense that they aren't doing what they frequently admit they're doing. This is the range of mainstream discourse, and it is all out in the open.
They say the quiet part out loud on the floor of the kenesset every day. Does the NYTimes have some rule against reporting Netanyahu's own words if they're not spoken to an American audience? He and Smotrich and Ben-Gvir admit to committing starvation in Hebrew the same day Bibi will deny it in a speech in English.
Fuck the NYTimes.
Yeah, it happens. You can't do a proper ethnic cleansing if those damn gazans keep eating, right?
Then we'd be talking about "How Did Obesity Get So Much Worse in Gaza?"
"Saving gaza from obesity" was literally one of the pro-Israel talking points a few months ago from a UK lobbyist to justify Israel use of famine as a weapon.
Yeah, and that sneer largely went unchallenged. The UK media is almost as shit as the US's is.
Hmm I wonder how it happened? Oh well guess it's just natural causes.
It’s one of life’s great mysteries
