Israeli security forces delivered 300 liters of diesel fuel to Shifa Hospital in Gaza early Sunday morning and later received intelligence indicating that Hamas had intercepted the delivery, according to a Sunday night IDF statement.
…
You would send all the fuel a catastrophic situation needs. That’s the point of humanitarian help.
But who are we kidding, if not for international pressure, there would never be any humanitarian help. Or there woulf still be 20 trucks a day, with water for 20k people, in a city of 2 million
Even if you knew the aid wouldn’t arrive, but instead would be used to extend the cause of the catastrophic situation?
And how exactly do you know that? And yes as an empathetic human being I would definitely try to help and fail rather than not trying. At least I would know that I have tried.
And just to remind you, the propaganda is not only on one of the sides, but both. And accepting everything IDF is saying as true is a very one-sided way to look at this conflict!
People trying to help and making the situation worse does not help, at all. Putting soothing your own feelings above the pragmatic requirements to solve the situation does not help
This is why politicians are universally hated, but still required
Well you’d know because you have the intelligence that shows that Hamas has been stealing fuel reserves at large. And you’d confirm it by sending a few Jerry cans worth of fuel to the hospital to see if they’d be allowed on or if they’d be stolen. You’re acting like they didn’t attempt to help at all.
These sorts of actions are designed to be trust building exercises. They prove viability of the general concept.
