What happens when hunger isn't just a consequence of war—but a weapon?

This session cuts through the noise to examine the Gaza famine as more than a humanitarian failure. We’ll explore how starvation is being used as a deliberate tool of control, what it reveals about the global power structure, and how morality fractures when children die waiting for food convoys that never come.
We'll draw from recent reports, political responses, and philosophical frameworks to ask the hard questions:

  • Can a state claim moral legitimacy while orchestrating mass hunger?
  • What responsibility do bystanders—nations, media, and citizens—bear when famine is livestreamed?
  • Is this a turning point in how the world defines war crimes and complicity?

This is not a "both sides" conversation. It's an unflinching look at power, policy, and the ethics of engineered suffering.
