It could not be easier for Hamas to end the war permanently. Unconditionally surrender, turn in your leaders, release the hostages, renounce any and all future terrorism and violence against Jews and Israel, disband Hamas as an organization, and hold free elections.

This solution requires that Hamas be like any other government. It isn’t. The Palestinians are probably composed of 30% part-and-full-time terrorists. They are collectively called Hamas by the West. The people who purport to control Hamas have no more control than one homeowner’s association might have over another one. The West supports Hamas’ purported leadership in the hope they can have someone to deal with. That leadership only has influence because it has the foreign aid to hand out. It’s like thinking you have influence over the homeless because you give them stuff. More likely they’ll just take the stuff and spit on you. Same with the terrorists. You can’t make a deal with Hamas because there is no Hamas. It’s an illusion.
If the Palestinians still back Hamas I can’t think of one reason to feed them. War has consequences - or should.
Anyhow we didn’t feed the Japanese ‘civilians’ or the German ‘civilians and their kids’ during World War II because we weren’t virtue singling idiots.
Maybe Hamas doesn’t give a damn if their people starve to death or not... maybe it’s time to find out. I’m guessing they do care but would rather have the world feed them - with Hamas taking the largest share for themselves.
We would have lost World War II if we had decided to feed and assist the people who started that war.
