    It’s really not Israel that’s the Problem.

    The Problem is that Gaza is controlled by a Terrorist Organisation and nobody wants to risk their Trucks / Ships to bring Aid into it, Especially since Hamas uses Food as a means to control its Population and therefore will not be happy about a third party distributing it freely.

      Israel has literally been blockading Gaza for decades and massively limits the number of aid shipments it allows into the strip.

      After the ICJ ordered Israel to increase the amount of aid it allows into the strip, they instead reduced the number of trucks by a third to barely 100 per day.

      For comparison, around 500 trucks per day were entering the strip before Oct 7th.

      And you have the balls to say that less than two weeks after over 100 people died after the IDF fired on an aid distribution point.

        Why is it, do you think, that everyone is Airdropping Aid into Gaza instead of using Trucks? These Airdrops are obviously communicated to and coordinated with Israel, so it can’t be to circumvent an Israeli Blockade.

        The Reason everyone Airdrops their Aid is because Gaza is a Enemy Territory controlled by brutal Terrorists that would gladly kill the Aid-workers without any second thought.

        Heck, have you seen the Photos of the Philippine guest-workers being taken hostage in Hamas-Bunkers? Did you see what was there? Bags and Bags of Japanese Wheat, stolen from the starving civilian Population to further their terrorist goals.

        Or did you see the Video of Hamas digging up Water Pipes to make Rockets to fire at Israeli Civilians? Gosh, i really wonder why the majority of Gazans don’t have access to running Water despite the EU investing Billions into exactly that.

        I’ll say it again: The Problem with sending Aid to Gaza isn’t Israel, it’s Hamas. It sees Gaza not as a Territory it must develop but instead as a Asset it can use up in order to fight Israel. They have no concerns for Gaza and its Population as long as they can hurt Israel.

      Neat take! This says that trucks are backed up for miles trying to get into Gaza and that Israel is blockading them. Got anything to support your claim?

  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
