While Hamas may interfere with some aid internally, the broader and
more critical factor limiting food reaching Gaza is the blockade and restrictions enforced primarily by Israel, justified by its claims
that Hamas misuses aid.
The blockade and conflict operations create immense barriers and
shortages for food and essential supplies.

Thus, Hamas is not the sole or main actor stopping food getting
through to Gaza; the humanitarian crisis results from a complex
interplay of restrictions, security concerns, and conflict, with the
blockade playing a central role.

Sure, because there were breakfast buffets open in Hiroshima the
morning of August 7, 1945!

It's a shame your grandparents weren't there that day along with all
the other gooks.

Just learned another fun fact: the UN IPC group that meets to decide such things has been convening every three months, and just before each
meeting, Israel has been letting through a (small) burst of aid, just
enough to try to head off the declaration of full-blown famine.

Unfortunately, this time, they were too little, too late.

You are always full of "fun" facts - almost never with evidence. Where is the cite for this particular "fun" fact.
You never post "fun" facts criticising Hamas or Gaza.
Are you anti semitic or just anti jewish?
I am not anti anybody but I am pro truth and balance - you should try it, it is
quite invigorating.

Israel keeps insisting there is no starvation in Gaza, that they have sent
in enough food aid to cause an rCLobesity epidemicrCY (in the words of that guy David Mencer, that they hired as a professional liar on their behalf),
and that all the blame goes to Hamas for hoarding the food for their own fighters and starving the hostages and everybody else.

So how come theyrCOve never caught any fat, well-fed Hamas fighters they
could show us? All these unarmed civilians they have caught and killed, on
the pretext that they are somehow connected with Hamas -- how come they
only get caught when theyrCOre unarmed? How come Israel has never caught or killed any in actual combat that they could show us?

Not Israel stopping food going into Gaza.

Hamas are finding this lucrative!
Delivering food aid in Gaza currently involves very high risks, both
for those distributing supplies and those trying to receive them.
These risks stem from violence, insecurity, armed conflict, and an
unstable humanitarian environment, making even basic relief efforts

Hamas leaders are well away from Gaza, worth $11B and live luxury
lives in Qatar

The main entry points for food aid to Gaza currently are:

The main entry points for food aid to Gaza are the Kerem Shalom
crossing (south), Erez crossing (north), and, when open, the Rafah
crossing (south, Egypt border), with the Kerem Shalom crossing being
the primary active route now.

Yeah. Ruthless genocide is so much fun ... ha-ha-ha.
Clearly you must be having a laughing cramp while watching the induced suffering and murder of innocent civilians by the thousands as carried
out by your chosen people!

- almost never with evidence.

As if you were able to produce any credible evidence to the contrary?

You never post "fun" facts criticising Hamas or Gaza.

In this clearly asymmetrical theatre of war you desperate trying to
compare apples o oranges. Good luck with that stupid endeavour.

Are you anti semitic or just anti jewish?

ROTFLOL!
How nice of you to admit that Antisemitism is more than just an
anti-Jewish mental defect. After all, Palestinians are also a Semitic
ethnic group.

Here are a few real fun facts for you to choke on:

-Anti ethnic-cleansing and anti-genocide activism is neither Antisemitic
nor anti-Jewish.

-Not tolerating such crimes against humanity is a universal concept and
it condemns any party attempting do carry out such atrocities...thus it
is valid for both the Netanyahu regime run IDF and its counterpart
HAMAS. Pot Kettle Black!

-Those Jewish people who have not intentional divested their humanity
also condemn what the Zionist extremist do in the Palestinian
territories. Or do you accuse them also of being Antisemitic and anti-Jewish???

Yawn! You are spewing one sided propaganda rubbish. Go away in shame and
crawl back under your rock where you belong.

And BTW, just fuck off from aus.pol!
