    The article says that Hamas wants Israel to starve Gazans, it doesn’t say that Israel doesn’t starve Gazans.

    It literally says Israel uses hunger as weapon (against Hamas and against –or at least not caring about– civilians): “Hamas has benefited from Israel’s decision to use food as a lever against the terror group, because the catastrophic conditions for civilians have generated an international outcry, which is worsening Israel’s global standing and forcing it to reverse course.”

    E: You partly approve the article yourself and I’m aware of the fact it’s Israel committing the genocide.

    Not I nor the article have said that Israel isn’t committing genocide. The only thing said is that Hamas profits by it and that Gazans are furious about looters and the Hamas. I don’t understand why so many people downvote this, claim I would be paid, claim I would deny the genocide or write 6 comments where 1 would be enough, if not you want to deny Hamas is a terrorist organization which only cares about its own survival.

        If you read the article –which you denied to do– you would have come across this passage: “In recent days, I’ve spoken with dozens of Gazans who are furious about what is unfolding around them. They are angry, one told me, at the “hordes of selfish people who are attacking aid convoys to steal and collect aid in a horrific manner without caring for Gazans who chose not to participate in these humiliating and demeaning displays of inhumanity, no matter the level of hunger.” But their anger is directed primarily at Hamas, which they hold responsible for putting the people of Gaza in this position, and for its continued refusal to end the war that it started. “Hitler fought in his bunker until he killed himself in World War II in the Battle of Berlin,” another person said, complaining that Hamas is hunkered down in its tunnels, willing to see Gaza destroyed to the very last child.”

          You can also interview dozens of palestinians who blame only israel. Palestinians are not a monolith

          I already give you sources that show that it was israeli supported gangs who stole the aids and also isrseli extremists destroying it or blocking

          It’s so atrocious to compare certain palestinians to hitler yes even those who commited terrorism as retaliation for 57 years of brutal occupation.

          The only real comparison with hitler is Netenyahu

          It’s hamas who offered returning the hostages in exchange to end of the genocide yet you keep blaming them for what israel started and false claiming that they want gaza to be completely destroyed

            Lol, it’s some Gazans comparing Hitler and Hamas. But that’s not the topic.

            I already said it’s Israel commiting the genocide, you don’t have to act like I hadn’t.

            It still say Hamas is only interested in its own survival, which you can see when having a look at its history. Now there are first voices in Gaza which claim that the Hamas profits by Israel using hunger as weapon, which the article used as headline.
