I had forgotten about Biafra. Yes, the pictures that are starting to come out of Gaza are similar to those we saw from Biafra. Israeli actions in Gaza are totally inexcusable. Especially from a people who were victims of perhaps the greatest example of genocide in human history.After a bit of research, I uncovered a couple of other examples. Nigeria's starvation campaign against Biafra in the late 60s. And to some degree the Ethopian government in the early to mid 80s. So the complete list of intentional starvations -- at least complete to my knowledge -- is:
Mao
Stalin
Biafra
Darfur
Ethopia
Netanyahu.
That is bleak. But Hamas won't return two hostages so it's all OK.
