I don't understand how Israel can create this humanitarian crisis and then prevent aid from helping. I just went to Oxfam's website to see what they are doing and where donations are going and they've only been able to provide about 6,000 food parcels because Israel won't allow aid workers to have access. As human beings we have a moral obligation to save humans from dying needlessly but Israel is doing this on purpose. They don't deserve this, it doesn't make sense.

Allowing aid would be counter to their goal of genocide.

They pretty much were doing this even before the attack. They were on purpose limiting the amount of resources entering Gaza, and that is why this tunnel network in Gaza was built in the first place. Because Israel was purposefully limiting the amount of goods delivered into Gaza.

It is really despicable what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank and what they were doing for years without any meaningful reaction from the West.

Yeah but obviously these people are lesser than everyone else, so it totally makes sense this 4 year old along with thousands of others deserve starvation and shouldn't even be able to have family to comfort her.

This just might be the most heart breaking clip I've ever seen.

It's easy when you're racist and see non-Jews as subhuman.

It makes sense if you think of Israel as a colonial power.

It's a lot cheaper and easier to starve people to death in the giant concentration camp they were born in, than to gather them, to transport them to much smaller concentration camps and then have to spend money on Zyklon B to get rid of them.

Du Pont is really picky and choosy with which totalitarian regimes they supply extermination gas to.

It does make sense, but priorities are different so it's less noticeable.

From a military point of view, starving the enemy is a victory in itself. Means fewer numbers to deal with.

And that's all these people are to them, the enemy.
