In reply to the discussion: Virtually no aid has reached besieged north Gaza in 40 days, UN says [View all]JohnSJ
(96,653 posts)47. Nice try about what? Hamas has all but insured that netanyahu will not be leaving anytime soon.
This isn't the first time that the Palestinian leaderhip;s actions have wrought disaster on the Palestinians.
People can rightfully be upset about the situation, but unless something unforeseen happens, I suspect our election has just sealed the fate of the Palestinians. Just the fact that huckabee has been appointed the ambassador to Israel should tell you what our sociopath intends for the Palestinians.
When one of the protesters shortly after October 7 yelled to the press, "enjoy trump". We'll see how that works out for him, the Palestinians, and us.
I don't think it will be a very pretty picture.

Israel doesn't supply the food. The UN does. NGOs do. Israel then decides if they block it or not.

So they shoot at Palestinian policemen trying to prevent the looting instead? N/T.

Yes. Yes they do. Look up the rules governing enemy combatants in the Geneva Conventions.

You can have all the trucks in the world but if they deny the request for the access it does no good.

That was in central and southern Gaza, not northern, so it's not the story the BBC was reporting
