Right now, the bottleneck is at the distribution stage: the UN refuses to operate under a model that bypasses Hamas.

You’re asking about baby food and destroyed aid, but you’re silent on the 80 million tons of aid, paid for by our taxpayers, that’s waiting at the border while the UN refuses to distribute it. If we’re going to talk about humanitarian responsibility, let’s talk about all of it.

Capping off all the other horrors in wartime Gaza is the food-distribution situation that has prevailed since late May. Famished Palestinian civilians must approach one of very few aid-distribution locations under the auspices of the Israeli and United States governments. A shocking number of civilians seeking aid have reportedly been shot dead by Israeli soldiers or shot at by U.S. contractors on their way to these sites. According to the United Nations, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in this scramble for sustenance since May 26.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu broke the last cease-fire in the Gaza war on March 18 by launching air strikes that killed more than 400 Palestinians in 36 hours, a reported 183 of them children. He had also imposed a total blockade on March 2, allowing no aid whatsoever into the Strip from March until late May. The resulting situation was untenable. But the Israeli government did not trust any of the international institutions with experience in humanitarian-aid distribution, so together with its U.S. backers, it cooked up an alternative: the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a nonprofit registered in Delaware and funded with $30 million from the Trump administration. According to one report, GHF has billed itself as seeking, among other aims, to “facilitate President Trump’s vision” for the Gaza Strip. Trump has said a variety of things about that vision, but one prospect he has articulated includes the forced removal of all Palestinians from the territory and its transformation into a “Riviera” for “international people.”

Let's not forget the GHF has literal ISIS members, and Israel funded and armed ISIS. They can't help themselves. They keep doing it.

It's almost as if Israel doesn't want to end terrorism?? Can that be true???

I guarantee you it wouldn't. You might have a sort of ceasefire. In 5 to 10 years time it will happen again.

This issue isn't even up for debate. It is what it is until one side is wiped out or driven out.

Anyways....such is life in the holy land.

Tomorrow morning, let’s say Bibi is gone. A far-left government takes power, dismantles every settlement in Judea and Samaria, and hands the Palestinians everything they’ve ever dreamed of.
And then what?
Iran will still seek Israel’s destruction. Hamas will still want to wipe us off the map. Hezbollah will keep stockpiling weapons for the next war.
In other words, nothing fundamental changes.
So go ahead and dislike Bibi. I’m not a fan either. But let’s not pretend he’s more than a small piece in a much bigger, far more dangerous puzzle.

Germans had what they described as an ethnic superiority. They don't anymore. Just one example.

In other words
Never give peace a chance.
Keep committing war crimes
Keep occupying illegal territories
Because other people hate us...
I guess that's an easier solution than looking at why people hate Israel and then doing something about it. That way Israel can always play the poor victim.
