Hamas Wants Gaza to Starve [Please first read, then comment]

Israel is doing the starvation, nothing justify starvation.

I mean no disrespect and have read the ~~propaganda~~ article. The Atlantic is an American publication based in Washington, DC.

The Word of the Day is: Scapegoat

Thanks for you more reasonable response than most others. I regarded this article as valuable enough to be shared and discussed about, also since it's obvious that the Hamas is a suppressive terrorist organization. Sadly most/many people don't seem to read the article, especially those commenting the most.
E: But can't it just be a different opinion, which happens to not align with yours, but still isn't propaganda?
- Just because hamas is an oppressive organization doesn't mean you should lie about them and do israeli apologism
  U.S. analysis finds no evidence of widespread Hamas theft of Gaza aid
  Netanyahu admits Israel backing ‘criminal’ groups, rivals of Hamas, in Gaza
  Not to mention ton of videos of israeli blocking aids and destroying aids
  The article say hamas refuse to end the war but it israel is the one refusing
  Netanyahu says ‘no way’ Israel ends Gaza war until Hamas is defeated
  Israel is the only responsive of the genocide. The debil made me doing bs is not working
- If you're not paid for these posts, take our word for it and just stop.

Israel needs Hamas to want Palestinians to starve or else Israel doesn't have an escape goat to rationalize genociding Palestinians. As a result the narrative will be Hamas want to starve Palestinians.

escape goat
Just in case you didn't know, it's 'scapegoat'; the goat isn't, at least voluntarily, escaping anything.

Fouad Alkatib is a Zionist who lives in America who works for an American Zionist think tank. He gets paid to do Israeli propaganda.

Please read the article before commenting.

No thanks

Online supporters of the terror group have consistently attacked any efforts to alleviate the crisis. In posts and videos, they have dismissed efforts to send in food by convoys of trucks from Egypt and Jordan, pointing to the chaotic scenes as desperate Gazans scramble for aid. They have likewise attacked the airdrops that are now under way and called for them to be stopped immediately

This is pulled straight out of the author's ass. Stop posting genocide propaganda, please.

What an amazing source https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GCFT85WjajY&pp=4gcMEgpwZXJwbGV4aXR5

Hard to read an article that is paywalled.

Hard to read propaganda
Isn't for me?
E: Maybe this one? https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/07/hamas-wants-famine/683724/?gift=OsgW-uWNMiSsqh_gTIYXRk4xfcQRH-qTlmxF81QLknM
- The last line absolutely nails it:
  "The best way to undermine Hamas’s position is to instead flood Gaza with food, and to alleviate the suffering of its people."
  So why doesn't Israel do it? If that would undermine Hamas' position, why is Israel maintaining the supply blockade they started back in the 90s?
  Why is Israel intent on shooting people lining up for aid, including children, if that just re-enforces the negative opinion Hamas wants everyone to have about Israel?

  That's not Hamas doing that, it's Israel doing that.
  Israel's typical over-reaction to October 7th is what Hamas wanted, and Israel played into it. They chose to commit genocide, murder tens of thousands of innocent people, and used snipers to shoot children in the head and heart.

  "The doctor went on to claim that Israeli snipers are deliberately shooting children in Gaza, citing his observation of two children who were shot twice. "No child gets shot twice by mistake," he said."
  That's not Hamas. That's a deliberate choice made by Israel. They could stop today. They will not, but they absolutely could.

Sigh, fine.

Hamas wants gaza to starve, let's roll with it, so to fight Hamas, Israel should allow aid to come in and feed Palestinians, otherwise Israel is helping hamas and is anti-semitic.

It's a kind of catch22. Hamas cannot release the hostages. Because as soon as the last hostage is freed, Israel will bomb Gaza to kingdom come. And continue as long as anything there is alive.

Not even that. Israel keeps rejecting getting them back because that'd remove an excuse to keep the violence going.
Hamas tried giving them back at beginning and Israel said no
