As a reminder, Hamas has plenty of food. Is it unreasonable to ask them to release that food to the people of Gaza?
It's far more reasonable to ask Israel to allow the people of Gaza to have food. Israel, unlike Hamas, has enough for everyone.
It is, in fact, unreasonable to ask Hamas to somehow feed the entire population of Gaza. Hamas has enough for a few months for a few thousand people, Gaza is several orders of magnitude larger and they don't have enough for everyone to last more than a day or two. Then, once the food was entirely gone, Israel would roll over them with zero resistance because the fighters are starving.
Place the blame where it belongs: the genocidal settler-occupation regime.
it’s faar more reasonable to avoid resorting to sapping just to kidnap and attack civilians you don’t like
So why has Israel kidnapped and murdered so many civilians?
Sounds like an Israeli talking point. Show us the sources for your claims?
Before the war broke off, Gaza is already impoverished by the blockade of Israel. Before the war broke off, the unemployment rate is 46.6%. Before the war broke off, Gaza heavily relied on foreign aid to make it through.
Hamas has plenty of food enough for their fighter, they did not have plenty of food enough for the whole nation.
If you believe Hamas failed their own people, then there's no reason to block or hinder humanitarian aid to help the people, because charity is the failure of the government's responsibility. Israel make it even harder for charity to work.
your only logic is blame someone else for being a murderer
I'm not sure how you end up in that conclusion, it must be a tiring mental gymnastics session.
Oh, they have enough food for 2+ million people?
Is it unreasonable to stop the collective punishment of a million children?
Hamas: 20,000-25,000 to 50,000 at most.
Gaza: 2 million+
Yes, totally the food they are hoarding for their fighters could totally feed 2 million people. Since exponential functions are hard for this user, this is 1-3% of the population. That much food, even with extra surplus, wouldn't last a day.
I can feel my own brain matter leaking while reading your take.
As everyone else said, but source?
Why are you expecting a terrorist group to do something like that? Weird thing to expect. It's more reasonable to expect the actual sovereign country to stop starving hundreds of thousands of people.
Shit man so does Putin, go ask him for some you got this down, you built the most diffrent, Why you not solve all these probems on your own with your rugged individualism -as a reminder- .
