    You said "clearly designated military bases under the hospitals", and and quoted an article saying "The spartan bunker was a far cry from the vast underground complex that the Israeli military said it found earlier in the war farther north, which included spacious white-tiled rooms, a blast-proof door, mechanical ventilation and ample space to accommodate weapons stockpiles." as if it proves you right.

    The U.S. military has caused civilian casualties, but unlike the current situation in Gaza, it has not, in its anti-terrorism efforts, systematically blockaded a population's vital supplies, leading to widespread hunger and ICJ allegations of starvation as a weapon and genocide.

    "C'mon kids, hurry up and put your shoes on so we can block aid from reaching a starving population!"

    So funny when the zionists try to the make the argument that Palestinian children are indoctrinated to "hate the Jews" while simultaneously doing things like this with their own children.

    Over 1,000 Gaza aid-seekers killed by Israeli forces since May: U.N. : NPR

    A joint statement from 28 Western-aligned countries on Monday condemned the "the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians."

    "The Israeli government's aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity," read the statement, which was signed by the United Kingdom, France and other countries friendly to Israel. "The Israeli government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable."

    All of the actions they took against foreign aid distributers such as framing the UN/UNWRA as Hamas, firing at aid trucks, bombing the distribution sites and vehicles of the World Central Kitchen, claiming Hamas was "stealing aid" and ultimately dismantling all of the infrastructure in place for aid distribution was so that the responsibility would get handed over to them and they would be able to do things like this.

    The first-hand accounts of the GHF experience, whether it's by the American contractors working on this operation or the aid-seekers themselves have been absolutely horrifying. These people are traveling 10-20 miles one way on foot while absolutely famished, wait in line for hours on end and when the gates open they are only allowed a few minutes to get what they can before the genocide perpetrators begin open firing on them.

    It's horrifying indeed. For those who do live, the trauma will last for years, and the parents and children disfigured and killed repeatedly seeking aid while starving is beyond barbaric and cruel.

    I asked grok to develop a hybrid methodology to determine a conservative lower bound in total civilian deaths in Gaza. It incorporated statistics from GHM, Lancet study on systematic undercounting of traumatic deaths due to the conflict, and indirect deaths due to starvation and disease resulting from the conflict. Its conservative lower bound turned out to be about 98,000, with a most likely estimate being around 210,000. Out of a total population of about 2 million.

    And Israel is supposed to be the "Chosen People", I am sure this is exactly how Jesus would deal with starving kids :rolleyes:

    Nice move by the US for letting a months' worth of food expire that was earmarked for Children................but all we hear from the gop is, THE KIDS, THE KIDS................save the kids so we can starve them later in life. What a joke

    You've made it clear that you don't read but this news has been confirmed by Kan, the national public broadcaster of the occupied state.

    The spoiled aid, left rotting at the Kerem Shalom crossing for weeks, was buried or burned. “We buried everything in the ground, even burned some of it,” said an Israeli army source. “Even today, there are thousands of packages waiting in the sun. If they are not transferred into Gaza, we will be forced to destroy them too.”

    The aid totaled over 1,000 truckloads, the source added.

    Military officials blamed the destruction on what they called a failed aid distribution mechanism, referring to the Israeli-US Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). “The mechanism simply doesn’t work,” one officer said. “The trucks are stuck. There is no functioning coordination. The roads are damaged. Nothing is moving.”

    Many of the current supporters are anti-semites. They honestly believe that Jews unlike the rest of humans cannot be committing the genocide we all see on the news every day.

    I understand that Israel sees this as an opportunity to defeat Hamas once and for all, but this is some truly evil s**t.
