"The only reason there is starvation in Gaza is because IDF is preventing aid from entering the territory and are refusing to let real humanitarian organizations work safely there."

This is not accurate to say the least. Trucks do get in but Hamas and armed groups control the supplies and prevent a fair distribution

[bjoli]

Every humanitarian organisation on the ground have said that these claims are false. What they HAVE claimed is that the gangs that are raiding aid are doing so with the support of the IDF:

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-14/gaza-aid-looting-gangs-yasser-abu-shabab-israel-netanyahu-hamas

This was the first result of many. I have heard these claims from many many sources for at least 6 months, despite having actively avoiding reading about Gaza.

There was a report released recently but you're not quite correct. The report said that the allegiance of the raideres could not be verified in majority of the cases. In the cases where they marked IDF as the cause it was due to the IDF picking the route or blocking their intended route. The IDF was not raiding the trucks or supporting the raiders.

Netanyahu claimed himself that Israel were providing weapons to the Popular Forces/ATF. Seemingly for the same reason they bolstered Hamas as the enemy of Fatah: the enemy of their enemy is their friend. That PF has IS connections doesnt seem to bother Netanyahu.

They are in control of many of the aid corridors especially around Gaza. Aid is only allowed through those corridors, and the PF (and other gangs) are raiding the aid trucks. Sometimes within reach of the IDF which stays passive.

Let enough aid come in, and there will be no money to be made from reselling it. If Hamas is stealing all the aid now as they claim, they will have more han enough for their forces already.

There are videos of civilians storming Hamas warehouses and being shot and Hamas on aid trucks.

If your main source is aid organisations then be aware UNRWA employ members of Hamas and the staff at many others call for the death of Jews on their personal social media.

UNRWA being infiltrated would at least be theoretically plausible (even though Israel is lacking evidence even for that, apart from a small number of workers).

But this argument falls flat when essentially EVERY aid and human rights organization that operates in the strip is saying the same thing. (With the notable exception of one: The GHF)

Claiming that the ENTIRE global human rights system is engaged in a coordinated misinformation campaign against Israel is conspiracy theory levels of delusional.

> But this argument falls flat when essentially EVERY aid and human rights organization that operates in the strip is saying the same thing.

yes, because it’s not like access to Gaza has historically been controlled by a terrorist group. Hang on, wait a sec…

[bigyabai]

Are you serious right now? Have you lost all sense of relativity here?

Nobody cares about what these employees say on their free time. If you collated the things IDF members say on social media about Arabs, it would not look any prettier. It's a complete non-sequitur and emphasizes how insecure you are over the actual righteousness of these actions.

[nailer]

people exhibiting extreme racist bigotry should not be considered a trusted source venue on the homeland of those people.

[bigyabai]

If that was true then neither side would be allowed to comment. Likud is hardly sterilized of racist sentiments and politicians.

The outside world can still observe the consequences regardless of who's shaking the table.

The BBC is supposedly a neutral objective news source. Even if what’s you say about the IDF is correct (and knowing many Israelis it isn’t), nobody is asserting the IDF is a neutral objective news source.

Looting also has a much lower incentive if you flood the now much tinier area where people live with more food, medical supplies, etc, than they need.

[xg15]

Yeah, apart from everything else, the Israeli argument was not even logical: Hamas is stealing supplies to sell at inflated prices - so we have to restrict supply and ensure the prices inflate even more?

[aqme28]

No. It’s pretty well-established that even if the distribution were perfect, there simply aren’t enough trucks going in.

[orbisvicis]

The boxes weigh 44 lb. Imagine sick, injured, and starved people attempting to carry those.

Also original UN plans called for hundreds more distribution sites.

[tyingq]

Flood the relatively tiny area, with enough deliveries directly to the right places and people, with more food and supplies than is needed.

[fwsgonzo]

This is a white lie.

[BonnieBrown]

Here's two recent videos I have seen suggesting otherwise.
