    This reads like straight propaganda, its absolutely true Hamas as stockpiles.

    Know who else has stock piles of food and water? Isreal, and the UNRWA… hell the UN stockpile is sitting in trucks ready to get to the civilians.

    What is the military utility of cutting food and water, then saying … ohh look at the besieged city, look at how evil the people in the city are not sharing food and water amongst themselves. Know who else isn’t sharing Food and Water inside of Israel ? The IDF!

        No, it’d be like if we blockaded and bombed Mexico, then complained that their military isn’t giving out food to the general population.

          I’m sure if Mexico declared war on us, conducted an invasion into Texas and killed over a thousand American civilians, we WOULD blockade and bomb them.

        The IDF is 100% in control of Gaza, everything that goes in or our is under IDF control. That is why people have called Gaza an open air Prison.

            Doesn’t care lol. They only opened the border for aid because the USA gave them a guarantee that Israel will allow it and they wouldn’t have to actually use their own military to defend their own border from the IDF.

                Egypt has treaties in place, and is following those treaties.

                Egypt doesn’t support Hamas, at all. Doesn’t want religious political parties in Egypt.

                Israel doesn’t want aid coming into gaza. But appears happy for Gazans to leave Gaza empty.

                Egypt doesn’t want to absorb all the Gazan people into Egypt. But is happy to let aid cross into Gaza.

                If the border was truly independent we would see all the aid trucks crossing, but Israel does control it via remote monitoring, bombing, and treaties. Israel has the superior military, so Egypt doesn’t want to defy treaties.

                  Egypt doesn’t support Hamas, at all. Doesn’t want religious political parties in Egypt.

                  Even more strongly, the Muslim Brotherhood is like enemy of the state #1 in Egypt, and Hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot.

                  Sisi isn’t as hell-bent secular as Nasser, licensing and constructing plenty of churches and mosques and preaching religious tolerance, Al Nour isn’t outlawed (probably because irrelevant, anyway), but they’re cracking down hard on the Muslim Brotherhood.

      Will these terrible conditions drive the Palestinians to force their government to release the hostages? I think that is the question that so many people are wondering. I don’t know enough about the crisis to speculate on an answer so I pose the question, what does anyone think it will take for them to release the hostages?

        killing uninvolved civilians wont force anyone to release hostages, it is Hamas plan to get more civilians killed which bolsters their mission, recruitment, and global recognition.
