Israel’s military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.

The agency, known as UNRWA, posted its warning on social media on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.

“Ask Hamas if you can have some,” the IDF wrote.

      Hamas? yeah

      can’t get lower than shooting rockets from next to hospitals, schools, etc, forbidding people to leave because you know you’d be exposed without them as shields and still pinning every casualty for your behaviour on the country that you just slaughtered hundreds of people of without any reason other than to provoke

          I’m not disproving or I agreeing to assholes on both sides theory.

          But the reasoning that one side is worse because someone turns blind eye to them is dangerous. Humanity should always consider actions and not judge party in the opposite of someone else opinion.

          The reason is that they’re being threatened with actual, literal, genocide.

            Isreal is literally committing genocide on a larger scale than Hamas could ever dream of.

            Your argument is that Isreal is morally permitted to inflict actual genocide in response to a perceived threat of genocide?

            You’re either oblivious to reality or living in denial, and most certainly engaging in emotional reasoning; not logic.

              The word “literally” has lost all meaning lol

                So you deny Isreal’s mass murder of innocent Palestinians? Or do you just not understand the meaning of the words “literally” and “genocide”?

                  This, but you.

                  Also your use of “murder” is inappropriate in this context.

                    Nice “no u” response, hahahaha.

                    Alright, you’re either a troll or the lowest common denominator, and not worth wasting my time either way.

                    Go ahead and get the last word in so you can tell yourself you “won” an argument, or whatever other self-deluded rationalizations you like to commit. I don’t feed trolls, so I’m not gonna bite.

                    I mean, “they threw rocks at tanks, so they deserved to die” may be a pretty shitty justification to kill civilians, but it’s still murder.

                    You are no better than people openly supporting Hamas.

                    Something tells me you just actually don’t mind the idea of genocide that much.

        You knew what I meant. Israel propped up Hamas for years because it created a rift between Gaza and the West Bank and stalled the creation of the Palestinian state. Israel has been complicit in Hamas’s rise to power and in these attacks. Even Jewish media has admitted that Netanyahu’s govt has allowed them to gain power because it divides Palestine. They want all Palestinians to be seen as terrorists so they can get western support for their genocide. Israeli news even reported about the Hamas training exercises weeks before the actual attack, and if they knew, imagine how much more Israeli intelligence knew. Now they want to starve the Palestinians and are making public jokes about their intent to the UN. Fuck the fascist IDF! Free Palestine! (And no I do not support hamas and never have).

          It would be weird for Israel to intend there not to be a Palestinian state when they have continually offered the Palestinians creation of the very first Palestinian state.

          Israel funded Hamas as an opponent to Abbas, who was fighting against a Palestinian state. That was really stupid, it turns out, but not for the reasons you’ve suggested.

        You know, since you’re very knowledgeable about Hamas can you answer a question for me?

        I’m West Bank, where there’s no Hamas presence, Palestinians are still getting killed by the IDF. Can you tell me the reason?
