Haven’t really been following things super closely because it’s like looking into the sun, but are you talking about the famine they are causing, or the IDF killing people at food aid sites, and just calling that the Hunger Games? Or are they actually gathering groups of two children each and putting them in an arena with weapons in the center and having them fight to the death?
I ask because you said LITERAL Hunger Games, which implies it’s more than just the famine or the aid site murders.
They’re setting up aid distribution piles, unleashing aid seekers, telling them they’ve got 4 minutes to grab what they can and then they just start shooting anyway.
People are killing each other trying to get supplies.
So maybe no its not identical to the book but my god its close enough.
One soldier interviewed by Haaretz said that the oversight of the food distribution by the Israeli forces was referred to as “Operation Salted Fish,” a reference to the Israeli version of the children’s game “Red light, green light.” By all appearances, this name is based on the Korean television series Squid Game. In the fictional series, contestants are forced to play the children’s game “red light, green light,” with those who move before the “green light” being shot with live bullets.

You’ve been warned, its horrifying
Was hoping it was hyperbole but, yea, ok that’s horrifying. Thank you for sharing.
Sorry if that ruins your day :( like I said I was up for half the night trying to keep it out of my mind. And im actually good at meditating.
