Hamas is the official government and controls the army/militants of Gaza, they intentionally massacred almost a thousand civilians in Israel, and then expect them not to close off the border? It was their fucking choice that the border got slammed shut.
On top of Israel, Egypt could let as much aid in as they want through the Rafa crossing, but they’re not allowing much through because they agree with Israel on the current policy. This isn’t just Israel being mean.
There aren’t massive mental gymnastics happening here, this is literally what large world governments are supporting right now. Civilians in these countries are upset at the humanitarian costs, but they simply don’t understand the complexity of the situation.
Iran could stop smuggling weapons to Hamas and end this whole thing very quickly. That’s the point though, Iran doesn’t give a shit about Palestinians, they’re just using them as a pawn to hurt Israel. Hamas’ leaders don’t even live in Gaza, they’re calling the shots from nearby countries where they’re nice and safe and fed.

Imagine your neighbour started a fight and as a result someone cut off all the food and water to your whole area and didn’t let you leave to get some. Is it “your fucking choice” to starve? Give me a break.
But fair enough, if what you say is accurate I will add Egypt to the “killing people for no reason” list. They are quite some way behind Israel, but still.
If my neighbor killed someone then started a fight, if I had the power to remove them and then didn’t, I would expect I might be hurt from collateral damage.
It would be more akin to Canada sending missiles into the US approved by the government and as a Canadian not expecting that the US would respond back.
