The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) reported on Saturday that over 50,000 children in the Gaza Strip are in urgent need of treatment for acute malnutrition, Anadolu Agency reports.

In a statement, the agency said that “with continued restrictions to humanitarian access, people in Gaza continue to face desperate levels of hunger.”

“Over 50,000 children require treatment for acute malnutrition,” it added.

I feel like you skipped a few steps in your conclusion, cause having retyped this comment several times now, it does seem logical (though logically evil and morally corrupt; which nobody's surprised). And I'm not entirely convinced it's just Netanyahu trying to create a "forever war"

I was gonna say that it seems more like "blatant genocide" than a "forever war"... and how can a war be "forever" if one side is obliterated?

But then I thought, "Maybe genocide is just a bonus for Isreal", while also being a 'unique' way to stir-up the concept of "War on terrorism, in the US". Their "War on drugs" has lost some traction (and also serves a different purpose), but maybe they can put a convoluted spin on the "War on Terrorism".

The US is allowing "allies" to commit genocide for the greater good of their own military complex/gain?... because their current "forever wars" have been experiencing downturns? Maybe it is a "forever war" with genocide as a bonus for Isreal?

I can't dispute your statement well, because it doesn't seem too "off key". It just feels like you've made some logical leaps... or I'm just falling into conspiracy-driven-logic. Idk, but I appreciate giving me something to ponder more closely

I would also suggest you read this article about Netanyahu's former best friend and about his using this war as a pretext to cement dictatorial power.

I should have definitely given more context.
