Key thing is that the shortages in Gaza are a direct result of Hamas deciding to stockpile food, water, and fuel, and munitions in order to kill, rather than making sure everybody has enough.

to be accurate it would have to be the us says the mexican government snatched a large chunk and horded it. also mexico would also have had to not be able to elect a government for close to 20 years. also the us government would have propped up the people hoarding everything like netanyahu did for hamas.

I think the last point is the most important: Netanyahu is so responsible for all of this that I think his rhetoric around a "second war of independence" is all designed around distracting people.

I mean, for fuck's sake, last March we were all talking about how he and his party were trying to do away with government oversight so he could get out of criminal corruption probes.

This guy is literally using the people of Israel and Palestine for his own gains. Hamas literally exists because of him.
