    Any nation that intentionally withholds food, medicine and potable water from a people that it finds inconvenient is a government intentionally committing genocide.

      Ever consider the possibility that an extended campaign like we’re seeing is simply not something they were prepared to do?

      Also, never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence.

      Also also, Israel asked for help from Arab countries in distributing food and Arab countries refused.

      Also also also, a lot of the logistics for the pier Biden put in place is being done in Israel.

      All of these contradict your narrative of Palestinians being intentionally starved. And remember if Hamas surrendered the logistical problems of feeding people in a warzone would go away. But if you’re giving Hamas a pass on the genocide they committed on October 7, I’m sure you’ll give them a pass on refusing to release the hostages (remember, taking civilians as hostages is war crime) and continuing a war that risks starvation of Palestinians. And why would they care about people starving? People will support them more while they hide in their bunkers with their hostages while their people starve. A psychopath is fine with people starving if it benefits them. And Palestinians starving benefits Hamas, so why would they want to do anything to prevent it?
