“Most reasonable Jewish people in the US are aghast at what Israel is doing right now.” Not exactly. The Jewish people I know in the US are aghast at the situation, but place the blame squarely on Hamas for attacking Israel in October 7. |
Umm. You do remember the Irish Republican Army, yes? Proxy bombs (“recruiting” people by blackmailing them with their family’s well being) rather than suicide bombs but it’s really not just a Muslim thing. |
Even when they see the Israeli govt blockading food trucks with children starving just feet away? For real? They blame that on Hamas? If this is true, the Jewish people in the US have lost the script somewhere. |
| Hamas takes so much of the aid. I loathe the people blocking aid trucks, but I understand how they feel--that the aid is helping the terrorists more than the ordinary Gazans. Here's one Palestinian who witnessed Hamas shooting at people trying to get aid: https://www.memri.org/tv/displaced-gaza-man-protests-hamas-shooting-hungry-people-looking-for-food-sinwar-killing-us |
You understand how the Government of Israel wants to starve people? Those protestors are just for show. |
Which is why I asked you about starvation. That is what the Government of Israel is doing and it has nothing to do with Hamas. |
| Hamas is stealing the food from the aide trucks. It most certainly does have to do with Hamas |
| You now what else has to do with Hamas? Refusing the ceasefire. Square that please. |

Hamas has refused a ceasefire. They have also failed to provide information about the numbers and conditions of the remaining hostages. Sinwar has vowed to ramp up the violence over Ramadan. Today they killed a driver of an aid truck and severely injured several other Egyptian drivers. Meanwhile, the US, Jordan, France, Egypt, and the UAE are providing air drops of ready-to-eat meals for people in Gaza. Hamas believes that the more Palestinians that die, the better. They steal the food. They don't wear uniforms - which is perfidy, a war crime - and enmesh themselves among civilians. Their purpose is to cause as many Palestinian deaths as possible in order to turn the world against Israel. Judging by all the pro-Hamas posters here, it seems to be working among the low IQ, brain-addled, Tik-Tok addicts that are so easily manipulated by propaganda. All Hamas needs to do is release the remaining hostages and this war stops today. But they will never do that. They want the bloodshed. They want Palestinians to suffer and die. They are fanatics. And like ISIS and their caliphate of horrors, they must be destroyed, preferably by the Palestinians themselves. |
I thought they use Gazans as human shields . How is stealing food from their own civilians even possible if they all reside with civilians ? Doesn’t that mean they eat together. Israel has always said Hamas is not separable from Palestinian civilians and they use them as “human shields”. |
The war doesn’t stop when hostages are released. Israel has said they want to topple the Hamas government completely and honestly I don’t think Gazans would even be opposed to that. They could’ve even helped Israel do it if Israel offered safety and escape from Gaza earlier on in the war in exchange for information or cooperation and full anonymity. Many of the hostages were in buildings or houses which means eyewitnesses would have seen them and could’ve reported it if Israel offered an incentive. Israel doesn’t really incentivize Palestinians to help them though . Israel sat on its hands for years thinking Hamas tunnels were as primitive or amateur as their rockets, but billions of dollars and ammo and 2,000 pound bombs later, they haven’t make a dent in the tunnels. Israel may need Palestinian collaboration to finally end Hamas . |
Palestinians in Gaza should have risen up against Hamas a long time ago. They've always known that Hamas has stolen billions in aid that was meant for infrastructure, water, electricity, and agriculture. Instead, Gaza now has a few hundred miles of tunnels, tens of thousands of primitive rockets, and an elite that spends millions on spa treatments and fine dining in Qatar. Meanwhile, most Gazans have spent the past twenty years since Israel left living in poverty and utterly dependent on a Hamas patronage system. The UN and aid groups should have pulled out of Gaza a long time go. All they've done is fund a corrupt, genocidal terror regime. But practically speaking that hasn't been possible, then or now. Hamas does enjoy broad popular support among Palestinians in Gaza. And since October 7th, Hamas has made it clear that will murder any Palestinian for any reason, from civilians wanting food to resisting being used as human shields. Any hint of collaboration with Israel is certain death. And it's not like they can get on the phone and simply call the IDF and offer info on Hamas firing positions or ammo depots and simply walk to the border and be offered refuge in Israel. I don't see a good end to this. Hamas must be destroyed. And it will be. But Hamas will take as many innocent civilians down with them as they can. Hamas has a martyr complex. They revel in death. It's problem. It was probably a poor idea electing Hamas into power in 2005. Guessing Palestinians in Gaza are having some second thoughts about that now. |
The pretzel logic defending mass starvation is disgusting. So after 150 days of bombing into rubble hamas is still going to take ALL the aid?! You’re all sick. And btw in 2005 half of the current Palestinian population wasnt even BORN - forget of voting age. It’s as asinine as blaming gen z for electing Bush. You are all vile. |
Yep. The wool has been removed from our eyes. Jews = Israel over EVERYTHING else. It’s really scary how our entire government has been bought by Israel. But this is the side effect of a culture based on post holocaust victimization plus supposed “chosen people” sociopathy. They are the oppessors and the victims simultaneously. Every man woman and infant is HAMAS. It’s the boogie man catch all that has rendered any moral compass defunct. The hypocrisy would be dissertation worthy if it weren’t so absurd (and vile). 95% of American Jews are plenty fine with babies starving to death. |
So Israel is intentionally starving the entire population of Gaza because Hamas is eating some of the food from the trickle of aid trucks let through? That's your reason? |
