SubstackJonathan Cook on SubstackA Guardian editorial today criticising Israel's complete blockade of all food and water entering Gaza for the past two months, starving more than two million people, could have been written at any time over the past year and a half. Israel has simply sped up its starvation programme of late. In other words, the Guardian's tempered indignation is far too little, and far too late. The Guardian ends its editorial: "What is shameful about this ICJ [International Court of Justice] case is the need to bring it. What is shameful is that almost half the children in Gaza questioned in a study said that they wished to die. What is shameful is that so many civilians have been killed, and so many more pushed to the brink of starvation. What is shameful is that this has, indeed, been allowed to happen." And how was this shame-inducing crime against humanity "allowed to happen"? What's truly shameful is that the Guardian and the rest of the western establishment media have chosen to soft-soap their reporting of a genocide for more than 18 months, and helped their governments to smear those who oppose it as antisemites. Not just starvation but a genocide has been "allowed to happen" – and the Guardian has been one of the major players that allowed it to happen. Don't be fooled by its belated hand-wringing.

“Oftentimes, we skip that fact. They [Egypt] are basically subservient to Israel and the United States. And they have been collaborators with Israel not just now, but for the better part of the last two decades.”

“It’s not just an Israeli siege. It’s executed in part by the Egyptians.”

Throughout Operation Prosperity Guardian, current and former US military and intelligence officials expressed disquiet at the enormous “cost offset” involved in battling Ansar Allah. (Al Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Zeinab El-Hajj)
