US congressman suggests Israel’s starvation of Gaza is genocidal
Congressman John Garamendi has suggested Israel’s “dangerous and willful failure to enable humanitarian aid” in Gaza amounts to genocide.
Only a handful of Democratic, progressive US lawmakers have accused Israel of genocide in Gaza – saying they are trying to destroy the Palestinian people.
However, leading rights groups and UN experts have concluded over the past year that the Israeli military campaign is genocidal.
“Israel has the ability and the means to deliver adequate food to the Palestinians,” Garamendi, of California, said in a statement. “They also have the obligation under international law to deliver it; its the choice of Prime Minister Netanyahu not to feed Gaza.”

Actually it's the choice of Netanyahu to deliberately starve Gaza. Blocking aid and destroying any means to grow / harvest food including fishing is a lot more than not feeding Gaza.
Macron pushed UK, Canada to recognise Palestinian state but they balked: Report
Reuters is reporting that French President Emmanuel Macron had been pushing to have France and its G7 allies, the UK and Canada, recognise Palestinian statehood.
But the news agency, which cited three diplomats, said London and Canada “did not want to face the wrath of the United States”, which left France to unilaterally announce plans for recognition.
Macron said this week that he would formally make the announcement at the UN General Assembly in September, a move that has been condemned by Israeli leaders, as well as the Trump administration.
“It became increasingly apparent that we could not wait to get partners on board,” a French diplomat told Reuters.
Starmer and Carney are complicit.

We are witnessing unimaginable suffering in Gaza, as Israel uses starvation as a weapon of war through its blockade and militarized aid system.
...
As the crisis deepens, NUPGE once again calls urgently for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, the unimpeded flow of aid and basic necessities of life into Gaza, and an end to Israel’s occupation.
Canada has legal obligations to prevent a genocide and to ensure it is not complicit in violations of international law. We also have a moral obligation to act in the face of such horror.
As NUPGE wrote to Prime Minister Carney after he was elected, Canada must use its voice and position to mobilize international pressure on Israel and take steps to end the devastation. While we welcome the recent joint statement from foreign ministers, including Canada’s, the time for statements alone has passed. We urge Canada to deliver on its promise to take concrete action.
NUPGE renews its call on the Canadian government to impose a two-way arms embargo on Israel to end Canada’s complicity. We further call on the Canadian government to impose targeted sanctions on Israeli leadership and military personnel responsible for war crimes.
No more empty words. The time for decisive action is now.
