Israel is not blocking food or anything else. Hamas is. When the food comes in, Hamas stops it. These people aren't starving. Look at their bodies. If they had been starving, their bodies would have been skin and bone. They are not.

As about 'global standards in warfare,' forgive me while I grab the popcorn. Do you think that anyone cares about those global standards? Hamas certainly didn't when it killed, tortured, raped, beheaded, etc.1200 Israelis. They didn't appear to care about global standards at all. Why is it that you think that Israel ought to maintain global standards but Hamas shouldn't? Why is Hamas allowed to use schools and hospitals for military operations? That doesn't fulfil international law.

Also, consider that there is absolutely nothing that the United Nations can do (and it has sunk to the dark side) to enforce their policies. You think they are going to go to war with Israel to get them to withdraw from Gaza?

You said, " Israel has no right to kill 15000 civilian directly to avenge 1200 killed by Hamas and even less to cause a humanitarian crisis for more than 2 million people in Gaza."

WTF?

When someone provokes war, it is the side that is dominant that wins - that kills more, that incapacitates more, than is overwhelming in force. In what war has it ever been that one side can only kill the same number as the other side. Don't be absurd.

There is no genocide. There are 2.2 million people in Gaza. 15 million, mostly Jihadi, have been killed. Yes, civilians have got in the way, but that's because Hamas won't let them leave the hospitals or schools where they are, so they get killed. Israel passes out brochures telling people to move when they are going to attack. They shoot a few mild rounds at a building before they destroy it.

READ!

Genocide means wiping out a particular ethnic or religious group. Israel has been quite clear that it is wiping out a terrorist, Jihadi organisation. It doesn't help that civilians are helping them. Every one of the captives returned has indicated that they were staying with civilian families. Do you know that when a family's child is killed in war, that the family gets a life time income from Hamas?

No, Israel has not been provoking Gaza. The West Bank if far from Gaza. The West Bank is run by the Palestinian Authority. Gaza is run by Hamas. The Hamas charter is to exterminate Israel, to kill every Jew on the planet, and then to come for 'the rest.' You need to listen to some of the sermons by Imams.

The EU has just voted in the far right. While leaders have been saying the politically correct thing, the voices of the people are saying something different. They want the refugees out. They don't want sharia law in their country.

America, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Australia all support Israel.

As Israel has a huge arms industry, and with Russia threatening, countries aren't likely to go against Israel.

So, let me get this straight. The settlements are in the West Bank governed by the Palestinian authority (and I don't agree with them). But Gaza, run by Hamas), attacks Israel. Please. This is not the issue. Hamas charter has been for years to eliminate Israel. It hasn't changed. That is what it is. And it has everything to do with Jihad. Why do you think they were all shouting Allahu Achbar when they attacked on Oct 7th?
