As already thoroughly informed before, the appropriate humanitarian term is “providing food parcels” or “delivering food parcels”. “Feeding” is only used for children, and it’s banned from being used in humanitarian context.

This is the second time you are posting with that subject, and the second time I am alerting you and correcting you. Refusing to fix it indicates your intentional use of language serving to dehumanize Palestinians and degrade their dignity.

It’s a simple edit. And it’s not very difficult or complicated to fix. Unless it’s intentional - which is becoming clearer that it is the case.

Look up the word “feeding” in the dictionary. We are not feeding anyone. We are “sending” or “providing food” for them to eat on their own, however way they like.

Can you explain how this term dehumanizes people. Yes sending food parcels sounds good, appropriate and professional. However we are sending food parcels for people to eat right.

Among them

Are children of not majority in Gaza and then women and elderly men. Thanks!

Tell that to Michael Jackson 🎶Feed the world, make it a better place. Or maybe , 🎵Provide good parcels to the world, make it a better place . A few extra syllables but maybe Bob Dylan could pull it off.

So if Michael Jackson is ignorant (and dead at this point - a while back too) we just blindly follow him? We don’t have brains to correct?

Look up international law and “feeding”. It’s simple: use a more respectful term. Failure to do so and continuing to argue with me proves it’s deliberate and intentional.

How do you get the food in when They keep killing people?
