Israel doesn’t care much.
Isn’t that the point of a blockade?

That’s what Israel is trying to do, it’s a forced blockade to ensure starvation of the local population. Medical aid is also blockaded, so people die of curable disease / wounds. There is no indication that this will stop until all gazans are dead.
I have zero doubt that gazans would do the same thing if the roles were reversed.
Two religions have entwined in a death spiral that has not stopped for 1,500 years. That’s how religions work, they fight to the death for the honor of their fictional gods.
1,500 years is a bit off, Islam wasn’t even founded until 610, it’s the “New Kid” of the Abrahamic religions, unless you count all the Christianity variants.
