  SPEAKER_02: Who are these people?
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_01: Is the intentional starvation of the Palestinian people in Gaza specifically by Israel?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_01: And now the bakeries in Gaza are now forcing to close because there is no flour to be had.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_01: And they were letting trucks in,
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_01: allegedly,
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: a small number of trucks compared to the total number that they were supposed to let
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: in.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, at two Thursday, I switched with Jesse this week, man.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_01: So just for this week, next Tuesday, there won't be a show.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_01: And then we'll be back the Tuesday after.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: But yes,
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_01: unfortunately,
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: sadly, Gaza's bakeries are closing because they're running out of flour.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_01: And I wanted to bring two things about Gaza,
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_01: and then we're going to talk about some other stuff having to do
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_02: with fuck Israel.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: But this comes from Middle East Eye.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: Some people have issues with them.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_01: I thought I did not really see this article appearing elsewhere, so I brought it.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: But the Gaza bakery is being forced to close as Israel blocks flour shipments.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: Shortages are deepening with authorities warning of imminent famine
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: and worsening food insecurity.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: This was published just five days ago, six days ago, the last Friday.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: Most of Gaza's commercial bakeries have been forced to close in recent days
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_01: after Israel blocked wheat flour shipments, according to Palestinian authorities.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: And they have no, honestly, they have no reason to lie about this.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: And if you ask Israel, they'd be like, yeah, we did it.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: And we're proud to do it.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: What do you mean?
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: The Ministry of Social Development in Gaza warned on Thursday
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: that continued restrictions on flour and essential bakery supplies could trigger
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: an imminent humanitarian catastrophe affecting hundreds of thousands
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: of Palestinians.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: Abdel Nasser Al-Ajrami,
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: head of the Association of Bakery Owners in Gaza,
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: said 10 of the 17 operational bakeries had shut due to a shortage
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: of commercial flour.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: The fact that there are still 17 bakeries operational is remarkable
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_01: and inspirational,
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: honestly,
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: considering what they've had to go through and how they've had to maintain a way
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: to feed people in Gaza in spite of the shutoff of supplies.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: He warned that more could close in the coming days unless new supplies arrives.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: Residents have been queuing for hours to obtain bread amid the shortages
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: in recent days, worried they may not get for how long.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: Ajrami said that no flower shipments had been allowed in already for 10 days,
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: and that was six days ago.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: The ministry called for immediate action to end what it described
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: as Israel's systematic policy of starvation and the use of food as a weapon
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: against unarmed civilians, which again, we know.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: It warned of a spreading famine and the collapse of food security
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: among displaced people and the poorest families.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: Acute malnutrition is also rising.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: Particularly among children, patients, and older people in it.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, we covered last week how over 400 people have already died due to starvation.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: So now we've got the Gaza families bracing for another famine as the UN cuts food aid.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: Ministry urges the international community to break its silence
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: and fulfill its moral and humanitarian responsibilities to save Gaza from
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: the looming threat of famine.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: And what Israel's going to say is, well, we can save them from famine.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just move them out of the land and bring them somewhere else
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: and you can feed them all you want.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: It's not here.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's what Smotrich and Ben Gvir and all these monstrous motherfuckers want to do.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: The closures come days after the World Food Program announced
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: that it was ending food aid for more than half a million Palestinians in Gaza due to
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: a lack of funding.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Now, Half a million Palestinians.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Remember that there were 2.2 million.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: So that now means that 1.7 million Palestinians are no longer there.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I read that as.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: According to Al-Ajrami,
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: the 21 bakeries supported by the World Food Program meet only 25%
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: of Gaza's bread needs.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: Bread, basic staple.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: On October 14th, Israel suspended all commercial shipments into Gaza.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: I think I reported on that last week.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: Citing an alleged tax dispute between merchants and the Hamas-led authorities.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: Hamas and Palestinian importers denied the claims.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, Israel is lying and claiming all this nonsense.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: They need to let the stuff in.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Israel said it would resume commercial shipments five days later.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: However, Palestinians say wide-ranging restrictions on food supplies remained in place.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: And then,
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: of course,
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: under the ceasefire,
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: agreed to more than a year ago, which we reported on more than a year ago,
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: To end the genocidal war on Gaza,
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: which hasn't,
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: and they've been murdering people literally every day since
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: the quote-unquote ceasefire was announced,
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: Israel pledged to halt its bombing campaign and allow at least 600 aid trucks a day
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: into the besieged territory.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: They're not.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: However,
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: Israel has repeatedly violated that agreement through near-daily bombardments,
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: which have killed more than 1,500 people since that ceasefire was signed.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's not a ceasefire if they killed more than 350 children and 1,500 people, is it?
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_02: There's no ceasefire in Gaza.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: Israeli forces have killed more than 75,000.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: No, it's more than that.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: Authorities have also maintained tight restrictions on aid and commercial goods
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: since the ceasefire was signed.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: An average of about 200 trucks enter Gaza daily, far below the agreed target of 600.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: And they're sitting there outside the Rafa gate in Egypt,
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_01: lined up every day, ready to go, and Israel stops them.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_01: Data from the UN and integrated food security phase classification indicate
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: that 1.4 million people
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_01: Face acute food insecurity at crisis levels or worse.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: Well, what was this half a million in Gaza?
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: How was it 1.4?
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: So you went from 500,000 to 1.4?
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: What happened to the other 900,000?
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: That still, by the way, would mean 800,000 people dead or gone.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: Or 600,000 because 200,000 are experiencing emergency levels of food insecurity.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: Is that included in the 1.4 million?
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: I'm guessing it would be.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: Again, would you mean 800,000
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: dead or gone?
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_02: So that was Medi Stai.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck Israel.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: Part one.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: But here's me on part two is going to be an anti-war article
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_01: from our friend Dave DeCamp, Indie Media Award honoree.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_02: Another tough one to listen to, to read.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Israeli quadcopter drones set fire to a Gaza tent camp,
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: displacing 800 Palestinians from the tents they were living under.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: They were living under a fucking tarp, basically.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: And then they burned those.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_02: And now they have nothing.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: Israeli attacks continued across Gaza on Monday,
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: killing at least five people, including a seven-year-old girl.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_01: So again, Dave DeCamp, this
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: was two days ago.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_01: Israeli quadcopter drones dropped incendiary bombs on a displacement camp
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: in Gaza City's eastern Shujaya Junction on Sunday night,
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: setting fire to tents and displacing more than 800 Palestinians,
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: local sources have told the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: I know why, but why?
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_01: The camp was near the yellow line,
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: the dividing line between the IDF-occupied side of Gaza and the rest of the Strip.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: The Palestinians who lived in the camp said that they frequently faced Israeli fire
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: but had nowhere else to go.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: Literally.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: They're being squeezed.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: The yellow line is behind them.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: The sea is to the right of them.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: They're sleeping on a fucking beach.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: Where do you want them to go?
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: The Waffle report says about 200 families were impacted by the fire.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: That's like a fucking apartment building, a massive one.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to play this video.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: It's going to be heartbreaking.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: Waffle cited human rights advocates.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: Who described the burning of the camp as part of an Israeli policy
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: of forced displacement and continuous uprooting.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: Arguing that the incident could amount to a full-fledged war crime and crime against humanity.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: Because it's not a full-fledged one just yet.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's only a partial crime against humanity.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: These people.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: The destruction of the tents came as
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: the Israeli military has been conducting heavy attacks across Gaza as
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: the IOF appears to be escalating its attacks ahead
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: of this past Tuesday's Knesset elections,
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_01: which they do every time there's an election that's going to be happening.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: Gaza's health ministry said Monday that over the past 24 hours,
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: Israeli forces killed at least eight Palestinians.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: Remember there's a ceasefire going on, right?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: And then another three had died of wounds sustained in previous Israeli attacks.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: Notice also that these Israelis are not claiming that
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_01: the Palestinians are attacking them, that they're retaliating.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: No, they're just attacking everyone without prejudice.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: If they see, they shoot.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: Al Jazeera reported that attacks on Gaza Monday have killed
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: at least five Palestinians,
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: including a seven-year-old girl who was among four people killed by the bombing of
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: a displacement camp in Kanyunis, southern Gaza.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: Another person was killed by an Israeli strike
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: on Gaza City's western Ramal neighborhood,
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_01: which right now is getting the yellow line moved closer and closer towards it.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: And then no Palestinians will be allowed to live there or they will be killed.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: The health ministry said that since
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: the so-called ceasefire deal was signed last October,
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Israel has killed at least 1,559 Palestinians and wounded another 5,608 as
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: the IOF has constantly violated the agreement.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: And shout out to Dave DeCamp for constantly calling this out for what it is.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: And shout out to antiwar.com again,
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: Indie Media Award Honoree,
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: Class of 2022,
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: for being one of the best,

• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: anti-war voices, 501c3, charitable organization funded by users exclusively.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: Big fan of this outlet and these people.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: We've done co-streams together with Antiwar.com.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: Just after October 7th, we put a series together of five INN anti-war pro-Palestine
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: And I did one with Scott Horton.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: And Reef did one with, I can't remember who it was.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: Dave DeCamp did one with Rob Durden.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: We had several INN members do them with the AntiWar.com members.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm very proud of that.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think it was Kyle Anzalone and Reef, now that I think about it.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, so fuck Israel for those two things, for sure.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: Again,
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: setting tents on fire from people that they've already bombed out of their homes
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: and displaced multiple times to the point where they literally have nothing
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: and now they're burning the tents to the point where they don't even have shelter
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: and then they have to sleep in abandoned buildings,
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: the buildings collapse or Israel takes down the buildings.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's just awful.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, they...
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: And you listen to the genocidal rage and the genocidal rhetoric coming out of Israel
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: that their supporters in the United States and elsewhere do mental gymnastics to try
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: to deny.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: And it's just a frustrating as hell gaslight.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: And again, I appreciate Dave DeCamp, this guy over here at antiwar.com.
