I guess HAMAS is fully stocked now while their own citizens starve.

This is on HAMAS and no one else.

anyone but themselves as THEY loot the trucks. This is aid that is being provided to Palestinians, the very people they 'govern'.

From OCHA:

Per your post:

Ocha

yet absent Hamas starting a war, none of this would be happening.

It's so bizarre that it's never the terrorist's fault

God, my head hurts!

It's a thing in international law. It's called using food/starvation as a weapon of war. It's a war crime.

I don't find that law bizarre at all. It's basic humanity.

and using it as weapon of war. Billions stolen for decades, not counting last year.

Hamas did it, not Israel. It may be a war crime, but you will forgive me for not taking your word for it. It is up to ICJ and ICC to determine this.

And yes, it may sound bizarre, apparently less so for some than for others, but no one is entitled to blame Israel for Hamas crimes (hint, hint).

Hopefully, there will not be a flood of bias confirmation links blaming Israel for the fact that Hamas is looting and hijacking trucks and using aid convoys as human shields.

It's disgusting that Hamas blames the UN and the UN blames Gazan civilians and Israel.

Other than at one specific crossing in the south, Israel is not mentioned relative to the flow of food aid. And while "food insecurity" is noted, your claim "starvation" is never mentioned.

Furthermore, there are "restrictions on official entry" of food supplies by some unnamed entity and looting of food supplies by some unnamed entity. It's a cleverly written press release, and I'm sure that some people jump to the conclusion that it is Israel imposing the restrictions. But if it were Israel, the press release would have said it was Israel. If Israel can be somehow blamed, the press release duly notes the claim.

That's how bias confirmation works; people make assumptions that support their bias.

And of course press people are very skilled at adding dense text in the hope that folks will not be willing to dig through it to find the facts.

Isn't it a shame that none of press releases mention the efforts of humanitarian agencies to contact, reach, or meet with hostages. I wonder why that is.

Sorry, I forgot the link. There's not much more there.

Though I've noted you seemed to only pay attention to what you wanted to. I gather my helpful bolding made no impression.

You are of course implying that the "armed Palestinian gangs" are Hamas. Hamas has done terrible things, but not everything can be blamed on them. Israel is simply keeping that narrative alive as it's very convenient and helps a lot to obfuscate and deflect from Israel's own responsibility.

And the responsibility for the starvation and deprivation - the absolute horrendous suffering - is squarely on Israel's shoulders. It devised a systematic, precise, multi-front operation to starve the Palestinians out of their homeland. The destruction of UNRWA was a large part of it.

But getting back to the "armed gangs". Who are they?

They are ARMED. They are GANGS. As in a collection of criminals. Once lawlessness takes hold, and food or anything else becomes scarce, they tend to form and thrive. Infuriatingly, there is evidence that these gangs are allowed to loot under the passive gaze of the IDF - within spitting distance of IDF tanks, as one UN person put it - or even with the IDF's protection.

Gaza is now in civil disorder and lawlessness. The police force is severely degraded. Policemen are being hunted down by the IDF - "Hamas", you know. The few remaining ones are now afraid to serve as security - as they had done before - since they are consistently being killed by the IDF when they do so.

Here is some more evidence of what is really happening in Gaza. It's from an NPR program.

It is always important to supply one to flesh out a short paragraph.

I go with unwilling. It doesn't make sense that the IDF would be afraid to take on a few armed men.

But the IDF attacks the convoys too. Here is another such incident from January 8th. It is a pattern. Why do they do it?

Good night.

Meanwhile, Hamas terrorists blame the UN.

What a shit show. Hamas pointing fingers at the UN and the UN pointing fingers at civilians.

Let's put the blame where it belongs: on the authoritarian, theocratic, extremist government of terrorists that rules Gaza with an iron fist, Hamas.
