It has become so increasingly clear that Israel is intentionally starving the nearly 2 million Palestinians in Gaza that even major corporate news outlets, including the New York Times, Washington Post and the British Broadcasting Corporation, are finally covering this crisis.

Over the last week, the Times and other big business media ran a photo of a Palestinian mother and her starving child on page one. That in itself is newsworthy after months of these media outlets ignoring the growing Israeli/U.S. genocide in Gaza.

But they have been pushed to do so by the increasing international opposition to this murderous siege, which includes a joint statement signed by ministers of 28 countries — Australia, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland — issued on July 21, telling Israel that the war on Gaza “must end now.” Many of these countries are considered allies of Israel.

In addition, at an emergency summit in July of the Hague Group in Bogotá, Colombia, a joint statement was announced with measures to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes in Palestine.

It was signed by Algeria, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Honduras, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Mexico, Namibia, Nicaragua, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Portugal, Qatar, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Uruguay and Venezuela.
