In this cartoon, an Israeli army soldier apologizes for the murder of the seven aid workers from the NGO World Central Kitchen, who were supplying food to the population of Gaza when they were attacked with three missiles, saying that “this was a mistake” while the Death, represented by the classic skeleton dressed in a black robe and hood, displays the word “famine” on a piece of rags and says “this is not a mistake.”

I see it as saying “FAMINE”, not hunger

You are right, my apologies, I translated it from Spanish with Google Translate and I did not appreciate the difference.

Famine is appropriate, it’s a deliberate Israeli tactic

This makes it seem like the soldier genuinely believes it was a mistake?

Last I heard they weren’t even pretending anything was their fault, mistake or not? Like the flour massacre…they swear up and down everyone was killed by UN trucks.

If you think soldiers know the true agenda of military operations, you have a lot to learn.
