| 0:00.0 | Good evening. It's Monday, July 21st. Welcome to a new episode of System Update. Our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern, exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube. Tonight, the atrocities and crimes against humanity committed by Israel and Gaza have become continuously more horrifying and more inhumane over the last 21 months. |
| 0:40.6 | Even when one thinks that Israel could do nothing worse, they always seem to manage to do exactly that. |
| 0:47.7 | That there is now mass starvation and even mass famine in Gaza is beyond any reasonable dispute. |
| 0:54.7 | When the Israeli destruction of Gaza began after the October 7th attack, almost two years ago now, |
| 1:00.2 | key Israeli officials were explicit. |
| 1:03.3 | They said they intended to use starvation as a weapon of war to block all food, water, and medicine from entering Gaza. |
| 1:11.9 | And they have indeed been blockading almost all food from entering Gaza for months now. |
| 1:17.5 | And this new U.S. Finance, Israel-approved group of contractors supposedly distributing aid |
| 1:24.2 | are actually creating death traps. |
| 1:26.5 | Where desperate family members who are full of starvation, as are their families, |
| 1:31.0 | are massacred with great regularity as they go and wait in huge lines for a tiny portion of food. |
| 1:38.3 | The scenes from Gaza are really the stuff of horror films, of the greatest historical evils, |
| 1:46.4 | of classic genocide, and it's all paid for and armed by the U.S. and the West generally in case you're wondering |
| 1:50.7 | why you should care about this more than something else. |
| 1:53.9 | We'll review all of the latest atrocities. |
| 1:57.8 | And then we will speak with the person who is arguably the greatest expert and scholar of famines. |
| 2:03.0 | He is Alex DeWall, the British Executive Director of the World Peace Foundation at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. |
| 2:11.5 | Long before he began looking at the situation in Gaza, he has studied and engaged in activism with respect to multiple famines |
| 2:18.0 | around the globe. Some due to natural disasters or societal collapse and civil war, others |
| 2:23.4 | due to the use of starvation as a weapon of war. And he has a lot to say about where the Israeli |
| 2:28.9 | imposed famine in Gaza ranks among all the other famines he's had to witness. |
| 2:35.7 | And then finally, not everyone is being passive or silent about these horrors in Gaza. |
