AS Gaza continues to be battered and starved by Israel, the conscience of the world lies buried beneath geopolitical calculations and a shameful silence. The UN has warned of "famine-like conditions." Human rights observers call it deliberate and violent deprivation. But, we must call it what it truly is: genocide by starvation. As every day the world stays silent, it becomes a collaborator in this slow, systematic annihilation of an entire people. Gaza has become a symbol not just of suffering, but also of how easy it is to kill with impunity when the world refuses to speak.
