In practical terms how do you organise aid for a state you're at war with? How do you ensure the safety of your aid workers in a way that doesn't involve your military, but also doesn't just provide new hostages? How do you stop your own aid workers from getting in the way of military operations?
I guarantee you Israel wouldn't do this if they had a better option, this will only radicalise the normal people who start to go hungry and thirsty.
Seems like not cutting off food water and electricity would be easier than "organizing aid"
You understand food does not come through a pipe right
You understand food has to come from somewhere and Israel controls the sea, the air and most of the land while bombing the fuck out of the people and infrastructure.
Yeah and so it's not simple for them to provide the necessary logistics while taking into account their other priorities.
Not starving millions of people right on their doorstep is not highest on their list of priorities?
It's pretty easy to not cut off their power supply that they control.
It's pretty easy to stop carpet bombing civilians (including the banned use of phosphorus weapons near densely populated areas which happened yesterday)
It's pretty easy to not stop humanitarian aid.
It's pretty easy to stop blockading them.
It's pretty easy to stop killing them indiscriminately.
They just choose not to do the right thing.
