Probably one of the most fearsome attacks on a country ...i dont want to say in history because my history sucks.

But it would be brutal, you’re right.

300,000 tons of food delivered to Gaza this year says no. But since Hamas has FEMA’d a lot of it perhaps it’s Hamas that is telling the people to obey or starve.

Shed a tear for them if you must, but what is really going on is this: Every truck that brings supplies in is commandeered by Hamas at gunpoint, and rerouted to their distribution points. The local Gazans are forced to pay for these goods, usually at 10 times their worth. Hamas takes the proceeds and distributes the monies to their leaders, and then their soldiers, and any Gazans that resist are killed. Perhaps the Israelis should calculate the number of calories the Hostages are receiving and distribute on that basis. That would be fair. LET MY PEOPLE GO! Said the Prophet.

The Biden admin. wrote a letter saying they have 30 days to stop this and send in more aid or military support will be reduced.

I suspect The Mental Midget Biden and his sidekick kommie-la blackmailed Israel into NOT hitting Iran's oil fields or NUKE facilities.

If the Biden admin is to be believed, Israel is conducting a siege. (And I have no problem with it). Here’s some historical background for you:

I think they would’ve starved by now since it’s been a year so no.

I know what we would do.

Hard to believe we would do anything while Venezuelan gangs are terrorizing properties in Colorado. We will see on November 6th I guess.

I think it’s Hamas threatening to shoot anyone who tries to evacuate rather than Israel not allowing enough time. Just as it’s Hamas confiscating food relief and not Israel who’s obstructing food delivery

There “truly” is no such thing as a “fair” fight!

I give you: (1) the fire-bombing of Tokyo,

(2) the fire-bombing of Dresden,

(3) the atomic-bombing of Hiroshima

and, (4) the atomic-bombing of Nagasaki to name a “few!”

What convention determined that Israel is responsible for the care, feeding, infrastructure and welfare of a bloodthirsty people determined to butcher Jews?

You got it. “Fair fight” …. “proportional response.” Only Israel is held to these ridiculous standards in war.

Law of War wouldn’t include Hamas or Hezbollah. They aren’t states just terrorists supported by Iran. They also fail on other requirements.

Hamas was elected by the “Palestinians”. They elected Hamas knowing that the Hamas charter and the Hamas leadership always always always openly declare a commitment to destroy Israel.

I agree, but Gaza isn’t a ‘state’ entity either, they are getting what most of them asked for.

When the people of Gaza decide to have leaders to speak up and surrender, then Israel can begin thinking that they’ve had enough.

So, RandFan: why DON’T you ANSWER UP to Jacquerie’s quite legitimate question? Who DID determine that Israel must cater to these philistines?
