    Speaking of, Hamas has over 1MM liters of fuel, and ample supplies of fresh water, that they refuse to distribute in Gaza. They also refuse to return hostages, which would also immediately lift the siege.

    Edit to add:

    The reason they stockpiled so much is their tunnel ventilation systems run on generators (which is also the reason Israel is trying to deny them fuel, because tunnel fighting is a nightmare and that’s what is coming)

      Terrible thing Hamas has done

      Hamas doing something horrible doesn’t make it OK to starve the entirety of Gaza

      Terrible thing Hamas is doing

        It’s not unreasonable to expect an enemy government to feed their people, rather than your country

            I mean we can copy the same comments to another over and over all day if ya want.

            I’ve got 3 hrs til my plane boards

            FWIW I’d strongly support a heavily-militarized aid station set up in the south but you know as well as I do that people would still blame Israel for Hamas gunning down people headed south.

                Yes. Hence “heavily militarized.”

                You seem to think this crossing is like, a single street. It is not. It’s a misleading name the same way the “Palestinian refugees camps” are really modern cities of 100k people with permanent, concrete buildings the same as any other city.

                  Uh no I don’t think that it’s a street. How does anything you said even address the point i made that Israel keeps bombing the crossing?

                  Oh right it didn’t.

                  Care to try again and actually address the point?

                  Or you can just talk about some unrelated shit and try to deflect once more.

                    Sometimes there are Hamas terrorists in places killing people and those people get bombs dropped on them. That’s the “bombing the crossing” thing you’re discussing.

                    Your assumption is that this means Israel is targeting civilians or that it is impossible to do this while providing aid in the same geographic area. This is easily proven false because aid trucks, foreign nationals, and lots of people are in those areas and are not dead - because those areas are large.

                    This makes me believe you are totally ignorant of how the geography actually works, which I am still convinced of.

                    A heavily militarized aid area would not be enterable by terrorists and thus is a safe haven for providing aid. This is why I think it should be a priority for Israel

                    Not sure why you’re bringing the attitude when you’re the one who doesn’t understand the situation and is just parroting shit blindly.
