Gazans Are Dying of Starvation (but why no pressure on Hamas or PA?)

"The Guardian" is not an authority on what is currently happening in Gaza, nor are they experts on urban warfare.

Tell me: If Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war with the intent to commit genocide of Gazan Palestinians, why are they wasting money and manpower air dropping in food?

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza​

Yet data compiled and published by Israel’s own government makes clear that it has been starving Gaza. Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, Cogat records show, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period.

Its disturbing.

Im sure you dont want to be on the wrong side of history.

Idk, America happily backed the Khmer Rouge.

Not to mention total psychopaths like Stroessner in Paraguay.

The “wrong side of history” isn’t something the U.S. seems to care much about.

Are Gazans requesting extradition of children to escape the famine?
Are Gazans protesting the failure of Hamas to surrender?
Are Gazans demanding the release of hostages by Hamas?

How are Gazans supposed to “protest” when Israel is bombing anything that moves?

Israel has undoubtedly killed most, if not all, of what hostages might remain.

So its their own fault that Israel is committing war crimes against them?

Is that your point?

My point is that there has been extensive damage to Gaza by the Israeli response to Hamas' actions on October 7.
Whatever condition exists in Gaza as a consequence of war is the responsibility of the Gaza and its government, Hamas.
The war would be over if Hamas surrendered. Can you understand that?

Hamas doesnt care what happens to the palestinian people any more than Israel does, do you understand that?

Israel is responsible for its own actions regardless of what Hamas does or does not do, do you understand that?

The only party to blame for israel's war crimes is Israel, do you understand that?

Why do you keep saying that it is the fault of the Palestinian people that Israel is commiting war crimes against them?

That is a sick and disturbing take on it.
 

I think that summarizes well the Israeli position.
"who feeds their enemies" is the quandary-- continued military pressure on Gaza will necessarily result in non-combatant suffering until Hamas surrenders. Hamas, alone, is responsible for the continuation of the war.

Israel alone is responsible for Israel’s borderline genocidal actions

I mean he blithely blames west bank palestinians for the violence settlers commit against them. Yeah he is all in on apologizing for war crimes.

Then Gazans should reject Hamas, participate with Israel in finding the hostages, and end the war. Hamas exists because Gazans support Hamas.

The war in Gaza is not a war crime by Israel; the war is the natural consequence of the decisions by Hamas to perpetuate the war.

You have succumbed to the Hamas indoctrination and propaganda. Any parent with a starving child would do ANYTHING to protect that child; yet, Gazans do not reject Hamas, do not protest Hamas, do not plea for adjacent nations to take their children. and do not beg Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. Why?

Yawn. Speaking of indoctrination.. why dont you march your happy butt over to gaza and ask them? since you seem keen to ask. People wonder why the world finds Americans so unpleasant.
 
Like holy **** people cannot separate feeling personally attacked then they have to bend themselves into pretzels to deny atrocities so they dont feel bad about themselves. Mah brotha it aint always about you.

Its the same wIth systemic racism.

The palestinians are being skaghtered and staeved by Israel

Hamas is responsible for its actions.
Yes.

Hamas os not responsible for Israel's actions
The war in Gaza is not a war crime by Israel;
Israel has and is curreently vommiting large scale war crimes in Gaza.
the war is the natural consequence of the decisions by Hamas to perpetuate the war.
And Israel's war crimes are israeli choices and only they are to blamem
You have succumbed to the Hamas indoctrination and propaganda.
BS.

just the facts.

History is going to be no more kind to you people who make excuses for genocide then it was to people who made excuses for the holocaust.
Any parent with a starving child would do ANYTHING to protect that child; yet, Gazans do not reject Hamas, do not protest Hamas, do not plea for adjacent nations to take their children. and do not beg Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. Why?
Because its all their fault and they deserve the war crimes being commotted against them?

Is that your point.

My point is that HAMAS is responsible for the continued war which has resulted in infrastructure damage, disruption of water, power and roads, and the concomitant inconveniences and indignities suffered by those civilians in Gaza.
All war has side effects.
Let me put it this way, if the hostages were released and Hamas leaders and soldiers surrendered, and, then, Israel instituted a policy to exterminate Palestinians by famine, THAT would be a war crime. What you are complaining about is the natural consequence of continued war that is being continued by Hamas.
 
Of course you do.
Learn history.

Your determination to cling to some Urban Myth about WWII demonstrates bias over reason.
Read "Winston at War" if you actually have some since interest in British military decisions in WWII.


Opinions like yours are common and usually wrong.

Good bye


Find someone else to insult.

You were give information to correct your ignorance and you chose to deny it. I offered additional references and you ignored them.

You do not seem able to correct any of your misconceptions.
