Al Jazeera's senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, argues that Netanyahu’s denial of the famine in Gaza targets Western audiences he views as "dummies" who can be manipulated. Bishara claims that for Netanyahu's supporters, "dead children are okay, but starving children—not so much." He describes a ruling Israeli camp that "feeds on war" and "starves the Palestinians" in Gaza, contrasting it with a liberal camp opposed to international isolation. He condemns the globally-televised crisis as "the first genocide of the 21st century" and slams the "timid" global response, demanding action to end the impunity for crimes committed in Gaza.
