The Gaza director for the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says the average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour that the U.N. had stockpiled in the region.

No, Hamas did that.

The civilians, babies, children etc didn’t and starving them because of this is a war crime.

They claim it is in response to the attack by Hamas, but their previous actions lead me to believe they were just looking for an excuse.

  1. For a couple thousand people that make them up, not hundreds of thousands of civilians

  2. Hamas is a terrorist group. What do they have to do with a sovereign nation starving thousands of people?

hundreds of thousands of civilians

It’s even more absurd! Millions of civilians. Gaza has 2.2 million fucking people, and they’re all fucking starving.

Hamas has an entire humanitarian arm. It’s one of the main reasons they have as much power as they do.

Several countries actually differentiate the separate parts of Hamas as well, recognizing that the humanitarian aid section is separate from the portion that fights instead of lumping everything together as if everything is black and white.

It’s far more reasonable to ask Israel to allow the people of Gaza to have food. Israel, unlike Hamas, has enough for everyone.

It is, in fact, unreasonable to ask Hamas to somehow feed the entire population of Gaza. Hamas has enough for a few months for a few thousand people, Gaza is several orders of magnitude larger and they don’t have enough for everyone to last more than a day or two. Then, once the food was entirely gone, Israel would roll over them with zero resistance because the fighters are starving.

Place the blame where it belongs: the genocidal settler-occupation regime.

Why are you expecting a terrorist group to do something like that? Weird thing to expect. It’s more reasonable to expect the actual sovereign country to stop starving hundreds of thousands of people.

Before the war broke off, Gaza is already impoverished by the blockade of Israel. Before the war broke off, the unemployment rate is 46.6%. Before the war broke off, Gaza heavily relied on foreign aid to make it through.

Hamas has plenty of food enough for their fighter, they did not have plenty of food enough for the whole nation.

If you believe Hamas failed their own people, then there’s no reason to block or hinder humanitarian aid to help the people, because charity is the failure of the government’s responsibility. Israel make it even harder for charity to work.

Hamas: 20,000-25,000 to 50,000 at most.

Gaza: 2 million+

Yes, totally the food they are hoarding for their fighters could totally feed 2 million people. Since exponential functions are hard for this user, this is 1-3% of the population. That much food, even with extra surplus, wouldn’t last a day.

I can feel my own brain matter leaking while reading your take.

Two pieces of bread and untreated brackish water that they can’t even boil. Few (if any) working toilets, no sanitation, surrounded by rotting human remains and overflowing sewers, bugs feasting on crushed human corpses and open sewage, and everyone covered in wounds and burns.

It’s turning from a concentration camp into a death camp.
