  1. Time for morally deprived governments and individuals to kick it up a few notches comes Jan 21.

  3. Imagine providing water and food to your neighbor and when you want to do it less b/c he had one of his psychotic episodes and assaulted you the entire neighborhood calls you out for disturbing the peace. But. One offer to feed him in you place.

  4. Tough situation. Hamas seizes the aid and uses it to maintain control. You get your bread from *Hamas*, you get your medicine from *Hamas*, not from international aid organizations. That’s how it looks on the ground.

    But if you cut off the aid, people won’t have food and medicine. So what do you do? I guess you *squeeze*.

  9. Since October 7, Israel has been waging war in Gaza trying to dismantle Hamas militarily, but says the militants retain governing capacity through seizing aid. Such a move risks exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation.

    “The humanitarian aid is not reaching the right hands,” the official said, who added it was one of “several” options currently being considered.

    That’s not an unreasonable take.

  13. If anyone thinks that Trump himself even knows where Gaza is, they are gravely mistaken. IMO this is a smart move for Israel if their goal is to control the territory

  16. I thought life as a civilian in Gaza couldn’t get worse, but Israel still manages to surprise me. Netanyahu is gonna get everything his little black heart yearns for considering Trump has no philosophy and places no value on human life.

  17. Reading the actual article (and not just the headline) – the Biden administration was threatening to cut off military aid to Israel because of the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Israel has allowed trucks to go through (after inspections) but much of the humanitarian aid isn’t reaching civilians in Gaza because they’re being hijacked by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups.  The Biden administration wanted a minimum of 350 trucks to be allowed through per day but ultimately backed down on this demand after they determined that the Israelis weren’t the ones blocking aid from getting through.  To make matters worse, because Hamas has seized the aid that has been allowed through, they’re able to use this to control the civilian population and prolong the war.  In order to remove Hamas from power and bring the war to a swifter conclusion, Israel is looking at several options to deprive Hamas of the resources which keep them in power one option which they may be considering is stopping trucks from going through because Hamas was just stealing the cargo and using it to stay in power. 

  18. Is there any other country in the world that is expected to feed its enemies during a war with them, which was started by them?

  19. This will likely lead to a famine and many preventable deaths.

  20. After the inauguration, they’ll be zero humanitarian aid from the US

  21. It would be interesting to see a chart showing which country has given what and how much.

  22. Why is Israel giving aide to the very people that killed them?

  23. Without Biden who will be there to give them a stern finger wave

  24. Like they haven’t been blocking it all along. 🙄
