Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"Aid workers in Gaza told the Guardian that prices for essentials had risen further in recent days, warehouses were empty and humanitarian teams treating malnourished children were being forced to divide rations designed for one between two patients to give both a chance of survival."

Israel doesn't care much.

Isn't that the point of a blockade?

That's what Israel is trying to do, it's a forced blockade to ensure starvation of the local population. Medical aid is also blockaded, so people die of curable disease / wounds. There is no indication that this will stop until all gazans are dead.

I have zero doubt that gazans would do the same thing if the roles were reversed.

Two religions have entwined in a death spiral that has not stopped for 1,500 years. That's how religions work, they fight to the death for the honor of their fictional gods.

1,500 years is a bit off, Islam wasn't even founded until 610, it's the "New Kid" of the Abrahamic religions, unless you count all the Christianity variants.
