that last interview was an extremely important perspective well delivered, thank you for platforming him!

3:50 that's disgusting. nothing can justify doing "something similar" to palestinians just like nothing can justify hamas' massacre. he dishonours his sister in law's memory, and he should be ashamed of himself. his experience should teach him to NOT want to do "something similar"!

you are thoroughly mistaken. the amount of aid is so small that it's still much more so a situation of the aid not arriving than the aid arriving. in some detail: gaza normally imports over 400 truckloads of goods a day. they have received no goods at all for two weeks, that's a deficit of 5600 truckloads. in order to replace the lost water supply with bottled water or water tanks, even just enough water for drinking, they would need many more truckloads than normal. they have now received 37 truckloads in the space of two days, a supply rate of less than 5% of the normal level. besides not receiving the usual goods, they have also run out of all electricity and practically all fuel, including generator fuel for hospitals. to get electricity again, even just for the hospital generators or to provide the 20% of electricity that the one diesel powerplant normally supplies, they would need to import more fuel than normal, and so far, israel insists on not allowing in any fuel. they also need fuel to pump almost all water sources (except for a trickle from some wells, which is generally unsafe to drink) or to desalinate seawater as they normally do. israel has announced having reconnected parts of only southern gaza to the israeli water supply, but to get to any taps, it would need to be pumped on the gazan side with fuel that has run out.

@ponygirl1716 gaza is dependent on israel in large part because israel has destroyed much of the infrastructure and industry it used to have (such as power plants and flour mills), and israel prevents fishermen from reaching fishing grounds farther out at sea and farmers from farming fields near the border, which constitute a large part of what little area is not built upon in gaza. israel has also seized all major water sources in palestine, and in an equitable arrangement, gaza would be supplied with far more water. 95% of gazans did not even have sufficient access to safe drinking water before this war, with waterborne diseases being ubiquitous particularly among children. hamas will neverbe responsible for israel's actions. it doesn't matter that hamas should have known and did know that israel would attack palestinian civilians in response to the massacre, israel is not allowed to attack civilians completely regardless of what hamas does. only the perpetrators are guilty. each party of the conflict is responsible for their own actions. and israel in particular is very free to choose various courses of action due to its overwhelming military and economic power and foreign support. israel is not "forced to" drop even one bomb on gaza, israel's aggression is completely optional. it's based on israel's official policy of esclated retaliation against every attack, which is absurdly immoral on its face.

@seanohare5488 israel's official policy: an eye and then some for an eye. or israel's unofficial policy: ten eyes for an eye.
