A little confused by the naïveté from OP. The US gov lets a lot of Americans starve too, you’re not special. That’s because humans are seen by Americans, especially govt types, as those with and without something of value to give. Gaza was run by terrorists. Israel is run by people who produce valuable exports for American Intel and military communities not to mention a heap load of economic investments. Next time hamas should consider that route instead of using children as shields and sitting around with AKs pretending to be religious. It’s not the pretending to be religious we have an issue with, everyone does that, it’s the lack of paying the piper for the privilege. Not saying we don’t do similar things but like Leary said, “two words, nuclear fucking warheads”.
Reminder: Americans != The U.S.
United-Statesian directly voted for this. US foreign policy is controled by the president or at this point king. It might not have been every United-Statesian, but it is on them. Well over 50% country still support ongoing genocide.
So yes, United-Statesian are not the same as US, but the damage done is theirs to carry for dacades to come.
It would not have mattered if they voted differently.
That is a pretty hot take honestly
They are now.
The people of Gaza aren’t the first or only people on earth being forcibly relocated. They chose death that isn’t the US fault.
Why is Germany? Or Australia? Russia or China? Japan? Why are you giving them a free pass?
Because this is not even talking about ongoing genocide. But basic food being blocked by US veto in the UN. See the vote www.universal-rights.org/vote-details/?resolution…
Israel and United States at the bottom. Since Israel doesn’t have as veto power, US did it for them.
Those countries can provide aid without going through the UN.
I ask again, why are those countries not?
Hamas steals all the aid
Wrong. The aid is being pillaged by a local warlord paid for and helped by Israel, it’s been all over the news.
As were said many times by UN who distribute the aid, there are no evidence of Hamas stealing it. So far they weren’t proved wrong.
Are Hamas the ones murdering people trying to receive aid too? Are they the ones who have shut off water access in the first place?
Why bother? This is a person who has been thoroughly hollowed out
Why would they do this to themselves and their base population?
Shut the fuck up.
You should be killed.
Hamas starves its own citizen is a really smart take. Really smart
Aid isn’t making it in as Israel is blocking it. The reason Israel is blocking it is that Hamas is holding Israelis hostages.
Both deliberately starving people and taking hostages are illegal under international law. Israel absolutely in the wrong here especially since the ICJ ordered them to allow aid. Hamas isn’t helping anyone but Israel isn’t a victim.
Oh yeah I bet if Hamas gave them the hostages they would totally stop their genocide then.
& that’s somehow worse than I don’t know, bombing Gaza for fun. There were actual tours

Because if I go try to make my government stop the senseless killing they will shoot me in the head.
