    The joke only works if the reader holds the Islamophobic view that Palestinians were starving because their faith forbids them from eating, and not because Israel was starving them by blockading humanitarian aid.

      Nah, that’s the commentary. If “starving because of religion” is a silly fabrication, what’s the reality?

      Israel was starving them by blockading humanitarian aid.
