People use passive language when talking about the genocide in Gaza. Israel and Netanyahu are "letting Gaza starve", as if starvation is the natural state for humans. It's not. Naturally, humans in Palestine eat and trade and thrive, as they have for 10000 years. This famine is engineered; 60 years of occupation and siege, 2 years of total war on civilians, and murderous policy. It's no more "letting" starvation happen than choking a human being is "letting" them stop breathing.
