so the famine is a warcrime agenda outlasted its usefulness or what?

I never saw videos of starving kids. This is the reason.
Antisemites will believe anything though, so the damage in their brain is done
I think ultimately one of the difficulties is in the measurement itself. A concept like “food insecurity” is hard to define and measure objectively, because you have to weigh a lot of different factors, and those weightings are subjective in nature. It’s like in sports when people try to calculate a one-off tell-all super-statistic (like WAR in baseball) that can give you one number showing a player’s quality.
Double difficult because a lot of the factors are hard to observe or rely on people answering questions accurately and honestly. People are people though, so it can be tricky.
Being **2/3 off** in their estimate tells us that the IPC is still not close to having a working formula that’s worth reporting on. We don’t want to fall into the administrator’s trap of using a faulty metric just because “at least it’s a metric.”
The article fails to compare current aid delivery rates with those at the time the projections were made. If aid delivery increased in the months following the report then obviously the projections would be exaggerated.
At this point I trust the words that come of putins mouth more than any that come out of Gaza. What a world we live in.

Ah, great.
A **famine** without a **single documented death** from starvation then.
and all the progressive bought it hook line and sinker just like MAGA watching fox news – exactly the same
Oh wow the terrorists lied???
Well colour me surprised! Like the UN report a couple of weeks ago that said the casualty figures were exaggerated by 100% Who cares tho, the reputational damage to Israel and Jews has been comprehensive and long lasting. Mission accomplished.
Vastly exaggerated by Hamas
Oh really? Who could ever imagine that Hamas and their sympathizers could lie about something?
Shocking.
It’s on Times of Israel, so it must be true!
Lol. Redditors are so gullible it’s disgusting
Not only did the alleged “current ongoing famine” never materialize in reality, but the rate of casualties in Gaza has been dramatically slower this entire year. I think it’s pretty clear that Israel did respond to Biden’s insistence on restraint.
Here’s [the IPC report](https://www.ipcinfo.org/ipc-country-analysis/details-map/en/c/1157065/?iso3=PSE), which the article itself doesn’t actually link out to. The top key result is “A high risk of Famine persists across the whole Gaza Strip as long as conflict continues and humanitarian access is restricted.” It does appear the risks of projected in March’s report have been mitigated somewhat, but 96% of the population is facing high levels of food insecurity.

Adding this to my [vocabulary](https://romankogan.net/2024/06/26/israel-palestine-vocabulary/) of newspeak terms to keep around when talking about Israel and Palestine.
“It’s just subtle famine. Nothing to see here!”
