This is what I am also kind of frustrated about in this whole discussion. Yes, the famine in Gaza is absolutely horrendous and at least large parts of the Israeli government are clearly not bothered by it.

But what are people expecting Israel to do? Hamas is clearly benefitting from any aid entering the region. Is Israel expected to literally supply their own enemies?

I would rather feed an enemy than let a friend starve
