15. It is Israel. Rather, it's Netanyahu and the extreme right-wing lunatics blackmailing Israel into its self-destruction.

Those who love Israel should be saying enough! before it's too late. Even those who don't particularly care about Palestinians.

Not one aid agency has said Hamas is stealing aid. Cindy McCain of the WFP has come out and outright denied it.

The "Hamas is stealing aid" lie is just a convenient excuse to sideline humanitarian aid agencies that can actually prevent the starvation and replace them with the shady, ineffective, inexperienced and dubious private mercenary contractors - ensuring Palestinians remain on the verge of starvation while being corralled into smaller enclaves and displaced from their homes. Those enclaves are located close to the Sinai, through which they will eventually be ethnically cleansed.

A few days ago desperate, hungry people overran the warehouse of the new privatized "aid" agency, and the trucks, looted everything. One Palestinian was killed by the IDF and others injured. Exactly what the UN warned would happen.

The whole thing is a diabolical invention and unmitigated cruelty.

Your mmv.
