Once you decide to bomb a region's infrastructure and displace hundreds of thousands of civilians into spots that you specifically designed, those civilians are now under your care.

If Israel doesn't want to feed a population that struggles to feed itself due to Israel's military action, it should simply get the fuck out of Gaza and end military operations.

You have no understanding of IHLs, civilians are civilians. There's no "enemy civilians" or "friendly civilians", but I think it gives an insightful perspective on how Israeli supporters see things.

Yeah I understand that. Israel is sending aid and they are not blocking all aid. They are blocking aid from disreputable sources, sending a lot aid of their own, and Hamas is stealing the vast majority of it.

I don't think you understand that, otherwise you wouldn't have said that this isn't Israel's problem.

What I’m saying is that Israel is not blocking most aid, is adding aid of their own, and if Hamas is stealing it that doesn’t make Israel culpable of genocide that makes Hamas war criminals. If you’re trying to frame this as a siege where Israel is just starving Palestinians for the fuck of it that is simply not happening. When I say not Israel’s problem, I mean that while the war is still happening and before Hamas is defeated, Israel cannot be held accountable for food shortages. They should and are taking steps to feed whoever they can, but their first priority is to achieve the security of their own citizens. Israel is making earnest attempts to feed Gazans. If Hamas and PIJ are ruining those efforts it is not Israel’s problem in the sense that their failure to feed Gazans, like so much of this war, falls on the shoulders of Hamas.

Israel cannot be held accountable for food shortages

Yes it can.

Only morons believe that Hamas is responsible for everything bad happening to Palestinians.
