The public expresses overwhelming horror and outrage regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, blaming both local leadership, particularly Hamas, and Israeli actions against civilians for the suffering. There is a strong call for immediate global intervention, accountability from world leaders, and deep frustration over the perceived inaction of Arab nations. The sentiment is predominantly negative, reflecting a desperate plea for humanitarian support and resolution.

Disgusting, d ea th d ea th to the IDF &amp; American "soldiers" shooting at these starving Palestinians. You can see their vertebrates poking out of there back through their t-shirts as they duck for cover from their bullets 🤬

One of the most shocking parts of this 'conflict'.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025\_Gaza\_Strip\_aid\_distribution\_killings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Gaza_Strip_aid_distribution_killings)

&gt;Since 27 May 2025, **more than 800 Palestinian civilians have been killed and thousands more have been wounded while approaching newly established aid distribution sites** operated by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in the Gaza Strip and being fired upon by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), by GHF-hired contractors, and by armed gangs. **The killings began taking place on the first day of the GHF's operations**, following an 11-week Israeli blockade since early March 2025 that had severely restricted humanitarian aid to Gaza, exacerbating the Gaza humanitarian crisis. On 11 July 2025, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) announced, as of 7 July, that 798 Palestinian aid seekers were killed near aid sites or on the aid convoys' routes. On 5 July, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that at least 743 Palestinians were killed and over 4,891 injured; and even earlier on 2 May, the Ministry noted that around 70% of dead victims were killed at GHF sites.

My sadness towards Palestinian has drastically transform to angriness for them. This is inhuman, beyond evil, and diabolical. They don't even bother that their acts are shown to the world. If our politicians do not want to do anything about it, it seems we ourselves nees to act.

Targeting starving civilians seeking aid is not defense. it’s cruelty

urfavgalx

They will lie and say it was "Hamas". All they do is lie, when they aren't killing innocent people that is.

Vindiglo

The inhuman behaviour is so constant...there's no letting up. I cant even begin to imagine the horror of living through this.

I was made aware of a potential issue, I investigated myself and found that I had done nothing wrong.

Aid has started tricking in now, but I must say that the responses here are Exhibit A why Israel remains hated around the world. It's not because you're Jews, it's because so many of you are sociopathic a-holes masquerading as victims.

retroguy02

You have to be kidding..source the Israelt Times. And 911 was an Al-Qaeda plot.

Israel isn't just stopping aid. They are forcing everyone else not to send aid. They allegedly bombed aid shipments heading to Gaza.

This isn't about Hamas or gangs stealing aid,[which Israel also deliberately enables](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/18/gaza-looting-aid-convoys-israel-famine/). It is about using starvation as a war strategy, a crime against humanity. Never fall into the trappings of blaming Hamas for Israel's starvation campaign

It_is_not_that_hard

I would take over and fully clear an area in the north and south, wall and fence that area and setup aid distribution at its edges. Then, Gazans can get IDs that they can use to get aid, or enter the safe zone to get food, shelter, medicine, and clean water. If you come into the safe zone you stay there. Over time, we clear the next area fully, setup wall and fence around it, then take down the first wall and fence, opening up the safe zone into a larger area, at which time I'd prolly begin permanent construction for new housing and shops to support people who wanted to stay in Gaza. Speaking of staying or leaving, I would also use this opportunity to begin moving Gazans who wanted to leave Gaza out of Gaza with a financial stipend to get them started in their new home country (it's not ethnic cleansing if it is voluntary).

It probably can't be prevented.  FEED THEM ANYWAY! 

Starving an entire people to deny a few isn't justifiable! It's unhinged! It's also f*cking criminal!

FishermanOrnery1602

It can only be secured under the threat of force.

This is why occupation is necessary at this point. Hamas won't feed its own people, it's not a government, it's a parasite. The area needs to be governed, so that civil services can be administered.

Anything is better than the current system as Hamas steals most food and stores it or resells is for a huge profit. Using the profit to buy more weapons to keep attacking Israel. Which keeps all miserable.

The population is very angry right now as the aid is not getting to them so USA, Israel, and NGOs spend billions on something that's completely broken. The aid needs to be given to families as otherwise they will never see it. So somehow you'll need to deliver it. I think this Israel idea is very good. Not perfect, but it could solve like 90% of the current issue.

Mister-Psychology

There are aspects of this war I don't understand. Some of it has to do with how small a military IDF is I guess. Manpower is just more limited than the US military. 

We'd likely have our military administer aid directly. In part just as bait to get the jihadis out in the open when they try to attack distribution hubs.

Top_Plant5102

I dont think this is a really relevant question. Regardless of what Hamas does, blocking aid is a war crime. There IDF's strategic concerns dont make it any less of a warcrime. There was an [excellent discussion](https://www.reddit.com/r/internationallaw/comments/1j2rgha/comment/mfumkd5) a few weeks ago on this. 


So "who will blink first" is shifting the blame for this atrocity, when it could be remedied any time by the IDF by upholding their obligations under the relevant conventions and treaties at play here. The ICC is charging Netanyahu and Gallant with the crime using starvation as a method of warfare, for goodness sake. You are endorsing a warcrime. 

hellomondays

I think in the end, IDF will just say we tried and genocide the population by starving. Then blame Hamas. Benjamin Milkowsky will probably say something like,

"When peace is achieved, we can forgive Arabs for killing our children, but we will never forgive them for starving their children"

SummerAdventurous362

The only real solution to this problem is to take over Gaza and exile or kill hamas.

BizzareRep

If only there were a neutral international force that could come to Gaza to ensure the distribution of food supplies... (Oh wait, never mind , that force exists, and it was fired upon by Israeli forces in Lebanon).

Nasukey37

Have a mixed group spread the ressources with the mentioned plan. The problem would be that Hamas could still just visit people's homes to rob them off their food.

MoroccoNutMerchant

As long as the IDF does not control thhe entirety of Gaza, this will remain an unsolvable problem. If Hamas controls Gaza (which is does), it will be able to control the food distribution. As long as Hamas controls the food distribution, it cannot be defeated.

Thanks, I found the analysis interesting! It is a real problem and it’s nice to get some insight into what people in positions of power might be thinking.

If hamas just released the hostages, then Israel could go home.

But then again hamas have never given a shit about the Palestinian people.

I don't think they're even bothering to disguise it as aid at this stage,  since they're openly talking about their future plans for the rest of the strip. They're not even pretending it's about self defence anymore,  now it's openly about land acquisition. 

This is ethnic cleansing and the forcible transfer of a population. Crimes against humanity. 

I do not have words for my rage.

Odd-Bumblebee00

The question is, who will stand up and do something about this? America is doing it, Europe is slavishly complying. The UN's hands are tied by the US Veto. The global majority must unite and rise up in force against this and other miscarriages of justice.

PeoplesToothbrush

May be? They have announced their intention, made plans, are getting more demolition equipment and nearly bragging about it...
