    There are zero reasons why Hamas would prevent food and aid being delivered to the people they are fighting for. Might want to lighten up on the amount of BS propaganda you’re consuming.

      Iran and the Hamas leadership have never had the Gazan civilian’s best interest at heart; they’ve just used Israel and the fight against occupation as an excuse to maintain power and expand their influence.

      Israel is conducting this genocide, but Israel never would have had an excuse to enter the Gaza strip without the attack on October 7th. Hamas had to have known their attack wouldn’t accomplish anything and would illicit a strong and disproportionate response from Israel. Now the citizens of Gaza are paying the price while the Hamas leadership fucks off to chill in Qatar.

        Hamas wouldn’t shoot the food aid down though. That’s just a stupid waste of ammo. If anything they’d seize it for themselves instead.

      What’s happening to Palestinians is terrible. It’s genocide.

      Hamas is not fighting FOR them. It’s fighting NEAR them.

      Yeah they have a charter and a slogan, but they are terrorists working for Iran.

      Again, Israel bad, America bad. Hamas bad. Palestine good.

        That’s not the point. Why would Hamas shoot down planes trying to deliver food to their own people?

        Yes, Hamas bad. But shooting down planes trying to help your people is not just bad, it’s stupid.

        Israel on the other hand will likely be bombing and sniping the landing zones, because they want the Gazans to starve.

          I didn’t address that at all in my comment.

          Having said that, yes, i agree that they would not shoot down aid planes.

          I still contest the concept of it being “their people”. They are terrorist manipulators using a human shield to further Iranian state goals.

          To keep things clean: none of that justifies or excuses Israels actions

          That would be almost as stupid as attacking a country with an extreme rightwing government run by people who are looking for an excuse to use their incredibly powerful military to seize your land. A government run by a corrupt politician that would love to have a war that lasts as long as possible so they cling to power.

          Hamas probably wouldn’t shoot down food aid planes, but they’re certainly stupid enough to try.
