Iâm thinking at this point Israel would be justified in thinking that the less control Gaza has over the situation the better.
Unfortunately it is undeniable that Hamas uses aid as a cover for their own purposes. IMO Israel should have all aid filter through them as long as Hamas exists as an entity. Or the food will be going to Hamas over civilians.
Itâs known that Palestinians pay families based on whether their family members committed killings and attacks on Israel. And yet Israel sent them money knowing that, which is crazy.
Still, it is completely possible for Egypt to be more helpful than it has been, regardless of Gazaâs situation. They arenât accepting Palestinians who want to leave because they want the Palestinians to keep fighting with Israel. The âpresidentâ of Egypt has said this straight out.
Israel isnât starving civilians. They have every right to close their border. There are other ways to get food into Gaza.
Remember when you claimed there was a famine, and it turned out there wasnât? Turns out the only people in Gaza who were going hungry was the hostages, because Hamas wouldnât feed them.
Israel says that with the aid already delivered, there is enough food for 4-6 months. Unless, of course, Hamas steals the aid for themselves - then theyâre the ones committing (even more) crimes. When will you hold Hamas accountable for something in this conflict, instead of putting them on a pedestal?

You guys should really consider how âIsrael has every right to force whatever restriction on Gazaâ and âGaza should just go get food from Egyptâ or anything else you are suggesting might be a something that has a few challenges in implementation.

All I said is that Israel has every right to close their border with Gaza, and theyâre not responsible to feed the Palestinians.
Remember, kids: it canât be a cult if you believe what youâre being told and just reflexively claim that everyone else is wrong.

False.
Under the Geneva convention and International Law, they are responsible for their current actions. They are an occupying force.
You have a habit of re-writing history to suit your own biases that is honestly mind-bending.
And lets be 100% clear here:
All of this is happening right now because Bibi doesnât want to give Gaza back to the Palestinians. He wants to keep boots on the ground, and then start absorbing land bit by bit. His whole political bubble collapses if he doesnât kow tow to the Israeli settler right wing.
He is directly responsible for inserting yet another posion pill into an agreement he himself agreed to only a few weeks ago.
You keep excusing his behavior, but in reality, you support his dysfunctional way of governing.

You should really consider how if it were your cousins being under threat of kidnap and stabbings you might be a little leary of letting a failed terrorist state have truckloads of food to feed their army.
Because giving Gaza back to the Gazans worked so well the first time.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
All this talk about Bibiâs coalition trying to hold up aid is bullshit. Theyâd all happy to let aid into Gaza so that the people there wonât starve, because thatâs the humanitarian thing to do.
Just kidding, theyâll let the food in as long as it doesnât fall into the hands of Hamas.
Just kidding on that, too. Theyâd rather every last Palestinian in Gaza starve to death.

Yep. This bunch really are a piece of work.
Mix religion and extremismâŚand you get people like this every time.
Still waiting for @FormerActuary to explain to us why people like this guy can make such vile comments without any repercussions.
And yes, it matters because people see them making these vile comments with no pushback.
And they commit hate crimes accordingly.
Now, what other organisation wanted to get rid of the âsubhumansâ in the not so distant pastâŚ
Lets play hangman:

The right wing in Israel is now using the same vocabulary and tactics.

Isnât Israel controlling the border between Gaza and Egypt?
If they were not then I could be persuaded to agree with this. Plus Gaza could theoretically open a port. But Iâm not sure either of those options are currently available at the moment.

The only person kidding here is probably you
I donât know who this person is⌠a Trump wannabe maybe, but the existence of Trump doesnât mean that all Americans are evil, right?
Israel is controlling the border of Rafah but has asked Egypt to let people through and they refuse.
Such as?
Because Israel allows free speech, unlike the other countries in that region.

Thats not free speech. Thats hate speech.
Try reversing that.
What would Israel do if an Arab politician made an online comment about killing all jewish male people in Israel because reasons.
Try to answer that one with objectivity.

âŚwell, except for that pesky detail that denying civilians access to the basic needs for survival in time of war is a war crime.
Yes, Israel has a right to close its border with Gaza. However, with it also controlling the border between Gaza and Egypt, blockading the sea, presumably denying access by air, etc., Israel does pick up the burden of ensuring that civilian supplies are permitted in.

Israelâs responsibility ends at âdear Egypt, take in these 3 million people so they donât starve?â
