    quibbling over which hospital is okay to blow up

    No hospital was blown up in this conflict according to what I know, I’ll be happy if you show me evidence of that.

    or how much the Israelis should be allowed to starve the Gazan

    Nobody is allowing any such thing: There are thousands of hostages relatives and friends who are understandably very distraught due to this all situation, and for them sitting, probably not even in their home since October 7th, and seeing the aid pouring into Gaza while their loved ones are rotting in some Hamas terror tunnel will understandably make them want to do something about it. The police is obviously hesitant to use force on people in this situation, especially given they are most likely affected by the current fighting and understand that Hamas is stealing and abusing this aid to prolong the fighting.

    The above is my explanation, not an endorsement for their actions. I’m sure this matter will be resolved, if not already.

      • Israel is currently subject to an ICJ judgement to prevent harm to civilians in Gaza
      • Ignoring that, basic human decency demands that you take measures to help people
      • Especially if you are blockading that area, so only what you allow goes in
      • Doubly so if you do not make accommodation for those civilians’s safety or survival outside of the combat zones, but leave them locked in a tiny geographical area

      The IDF have been severely limiting aid in not Gaza through all of the checkpoints. This is well documented

      Israeli civilians are making their own blockades of the crossings, and the IDF is allowing them to block aid. This is also well documented

      At least 20 out of 22 hospitals identified by CNN in northern Gaza were damaged or destroyed in the first two months of Israel’s war against Hamas, from October 7 to December 7, according to a review of 45 satellite images and around 400 videos from the ground, as well as interviews with doctors, eyewitnesses and humanitarian organizations. Fourteen were directly hit, based on the evidence collected and verified by CNN and analyzed by experts.
