"Finish the job": Trump says Israel must "get rid" of Hamas

9. I appreciate the sarcasm. It's absurd, isn't it? But the "Hamas hoards/steals food" narrative should not be accepted.

It is the pretext that Israel has been using to defend the creation of GHF and the siege/total blockade of aid for nearly 5 months beginning on March 2nd. In fact it has used this same pretext throughout the "war" to periodically starve people.

This claim/pretext has been contradicted and denied by all the aid agencies on the ground, including the UN/WFP etc. Now there is a leaked report by USAID that backs up the UN's claims. There is no systematic stealing of aid (no doubt there is some, they have to eat too).

But regardless, it is absolutely insane to starve two million people because you are trying to starve out your enemy. Aside from the moral abyss, it's also a war crime.

I think that it's been a very useful pretext/talking point for Israel to achieve the no-longer-hidden war goals of getting rid of Gaza's people and resettling Gaza with Israelis. As one Israeli Minister said recently "Gaza will be Jewish". There may be Trump resorts, no doubt - after all, this is a partnership between Trump and Netanyahu and both will benefit. The Palestinian people are just flies to be swatted away.

The fastest route to ethnic cleansing is controlling food - he who controls that, rules over the people. They can then be convinced to do anything, including committing their own ethnic cleansing - in order to live.

It's Machiavellian and it is genocide.
