You are hijacking his Jewishness to suit your occupation.
"Here in the north of Gaza, there is virtually no food available. People are resorting to eating animal feed or bird seed to stay alive. For some, there is only grass left to eat..Some people I have met are surviving on just a cup of coffee a day. They are sacrificing whatever food they can access for their starving children"

Bison were exterminated specifically to starve Indigenous people as a means of control. CGL and the RCMP are destroying hunting infrastructure on Wet’suwet’en land to do the same thing. Limiting Mi’kmaq access to fishing and the destruction of their catches is a continuation. The mass extermination of Inuit sled dogs and the international outcry against Inuit hunting seals and whales is a continuation. Preventing people from having access to food is a tool of genocide. #Starvation#genocide#Indigenous
"Even if the war in Gaza ended tomorrow, for some of the Palestinian territory’s children, it would not help.

She is widely published, holds a number of academic positions, and has ten years experience advising various international bodies on human rights.
She has just delivered her latest report to the UN Human Rights Council, in which she summarises the patterns of violence in #Gaza and public statements by Israeli officials before reaching this conclusion: "The only reasonable inference to be drawn is a state policy of genocidal violence against Palestinians."
