Public sentiment overwhelmingly reflects outrage, empathy, and acute distress regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with significant condemnation directed at global powers for their perceived inaction and complicity. Many commenters express deep concern for the civilian population, especially children, and emphasize the urgent need for humanitarian intervention. The comments illustrate a moral obligation to act against what is increasingly viewed as genocide.

Hamas

Israel

United States

European countries

International organizations

So it turns out our vaunted “security measures” are nothing more than a slow‑burn execution plan—starving  millions men, women, and children to death under the guise of defense. Bravo to Israel and its Western cheerleaders for transforming Gaza into a live‑action Hunger Games, where the prize is mere survival. Over 9,000 aid trucks blocked at checkpoints, convoys turned back, and hospitals left to watch their patients waste away—this isn’t bureaucratic bungling, it’s a deliberate strategy of collective punishment. Meanwhile, world leaders sit in air‑conditioned comfort, offering perfunctory statements of “concern” while bankrolling the very machinery that crushes families and shatters futures. When children begin dying of starvation and malnutrition, they piously lament the tragedy—without lifting a finger to open a single border or deliver so much as a grain of rice. This manufactured famine is modern‑day barbarism, and the true crime is not in the shooting, but in the global indifference that allows it to proceed unchallenged.

We need to start calling it a USA UK genocide because they are doing everything they can to keep it going

apedanger

The people who supported the nazis in ww2 at least had the excuse that they didn't know the worst of it at the time. Supporters of Israel now have no such excuse.

Israel is the Nazi Germany of our time. WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING TO STOP THIS?

Are their army that superior that we can’t just ram through their blockade by way of sea?

What’s wrong with people?  Why do people want to destroy so much? How can anybody derive pleasure from the suffering of others? I just don’t understand. I don’t think I ever will.

The second holocaust is in full swing isn’t it? Absolutely diabolical

bananagarage

Were this behavior enacted upon dogs, sheep, or cattle there  would be immediate global repercussions.  Yet, human beings whose homes were arbitrarily taken to resolve a post World War discomfiture of the European and American governments fail to arouse a willingness to address this evil.

JrSoftDev

Why everybody just watching this, fuck Trump and the rest, how are we humans and letting this unfold. How are the Jews that lived the same torture now doing this???

Altruistic-Life-2382

I think it's the actual fear of Israel that is holding everyone hostage with their Samson option. If they think they are going down, they will take every one with them with their nuclear arsenal. Basically, who is willing to risk nuclear war with Israel over Gaza? It's messed up honestly, but it's the only real thing I can think of that allows this to continue unchecked. And let's be clear, PEOPLE of the west are donating and rallying in support of Palestinian people, it's is the governments that are acting against their interests, especially in America. We are held hostage by a buffoon that is actively regressing and destroying decades of American growth and security.

Would be great if the UN actually did something.

But Hamas is using them as human shields. They need to be thinner.

And this is why we’re so urgent about this. Every day that goes by is an act of genocide on the US and Israel’s part.

It's kinda like "thoughts and prayers" in the US whenever there's a mass shooting, but more Arab-y. "Showing solidarity" from afar without actually doing anything is easy.

jewboy916

Lol, the UN, EU, and just recently the US government confirmed there is no evidence of Hamas stealing aid. Sooo maybe you should just delete your post and start over.

dustinphilly

Are you serious?
Jesus himself couldn't provide for Gaza because the IDF control access to donated aid. The issue isn't lack of food but Israeli blocking access to it or supply wagons from entering Gaza.
This is one reason why Israel is committing democide against Palestine.

Puzzleheaded_Pin2566

Why is the US military not being deployed to force food into Gaza?

databurger

Quite a long question. Here is a simple answer. They know better than to support a Shia front for Iran.

thebeorn

What happened to the “why don’t Arab nations take Palestinians as refugees” arguments? That was at least worth responding to. I thought everyone knew Israel wouldn’t allow aid in, and that they say it’s to stop people getting weapons to Hamas?

Just for context. There were hundreds of UN-run aid distribution points around Gaza, these were dismantled, and now there’s about 30 run by Israel. Oh yeah and also now they randomly kill people queueing for aid, so there’s that.

All the Arab nations, all of the aid and all of the ‘selfie boats’ in the world wouldn’t make a difference.

Oh look. I’ve responded. It wasn’t worth it.

TibblyMcWibblington

Well even being Pro-Israel I can point out that this wouldn’t work since the issue is really logistic not aid access.

The NGOs complaining about access also have hundreds of trucks they can’t move because they can’t find drivers willing to drive into the Strip.


Arab nations couldn’t supply drivers any better without their militaries being involved and that isn’t going to happen because of the politics and the IDF concerns.

Jaded-Form-8236

Arab countries dont give a shit about the Palestinians

blxculture

UN aid being impartial means the exact opposite of what you are saying. They in no way are allowed to be feeding the military of any one of the warring parties. So when you say that Hamas is the government and is responsible for distributing aid you are wrong. The aid organizations are supposed to distribute the aid and in fact should be reporting any instance of Hamas taking or diverting any of that aid. The whole idea of impartiality is so that the aid groups can operate inside a war zone without being accused of helping one side or the other.

After_Lie_807

OP is speaking as if Israel would actually allow the Arab states to come into Gaza and have the freedom to distribute aid or that it actually wants them to be partners that are allowed to actually provide assistance inside Gaza....it unequivocally does not want any other party to be on the ground in Gaza...to pretend otherwise is asinine.


Also since when has Israel had a database that identifies every member of Hamas that would allow for facial recognition to be implemented? They can't even identify and and name the majority of people they claim to be Hamas that they kill unless its a high ranking member. This suggestion has no basis in actual reality and why would Israel even go thru the trouble and expenditure to implement such a costly and arduous task...they cant even give out sacks of flour without killing 875 people and wounding thousands more in a matter of 6 weeks lmao

nexxwav

What are you suggesting Egypt do? March its army over the border and reinvade Gaza to start distributing food? 

plucky_wood

Maybe they don’t care enough. Why doesn’t Israel stop the siege and starving a population? 

Diligent-Ferret-9039

Israel controls the border. Israel controls who is allowed to distribute aid. 

Not Hamas. Not other Arab states.

Has Israel given any indication that it is open to what you suggest? I certainly haven't seen anything like that.

Israel is the party that has the final say on these things. Blaming others is just turning a blind eye to the reality of how horrible what Israel is choosing to do with it's power to the people of Gaza. 

&gt;Hamas also uses some minerals within the aid to build rockets and RPG's

Source? This sounds a little outlandish.

jimke

Why not simply supply food in such large quantities that prices drop so much that alleged theft and sale by Hamas is not worthwhile?

Top-Reaction-5492

If Israel would actually make concrete steps to ensure that Arab countries would not be signing up for ethnic cleansing and massacres of Palestinians by helping Israel secure aid distribution then your argument would have basis, but Israel has steadfast refused to accommodate Arab countries concerns of this and so why should Arab countries fall on the sword for Israel to refuse to take any steps to a two state solution? 

I mean where is the lip service on the part of the IDF and Israel to show it isn't gonna push ethnic cleansing? 4 aid sites with lethal armaments as the only method of crowd control with no international press allowed into Gaza, sure, I'm sure the Arab countries are just eager as hell to get portrayed as traitors and lackeys even more. If you want to show Israel is legit wanting to defeat Hamas instead of ruin Gaza with no hope for overthrowing Hamas, why is there no facilitation of the PA as a governing authority? Or local clans? Or anything beyond chaos and anarchy? For the love of God why is it only four sites??

FancyChickened

We already know the limit of how much they care about Gazans. They aren't even prepared to accept a nominal amount of Gazan refugees, to save them from what they see as "genocide". What makes you think they want to send their children to be torn limb from limb by hungry Gazan mobs, and blown up by Hamas IEDs, anymore than Israel.

nidarus

Because they don’t care who dies they just want Israel to look bad and stop existing.

Keith_Courage

Why not open the Rafa border and allow Gazans to flee to north Sinai after a security check? 
answer: Then conflict is over, Israel wins, and it's bad for the economy.
Everyone wants to keep the war machine lubed and running

krivik_zomber

1. UN had not been honest. It had said "Hamas is not getting or stealing the aid", UN had downplayed Hamas involvement. UN has not been transparent, so how many tons of aid and food had been supplied, given or taken by Hamas ? 

2. The aid are donated and meant for Gazan civilians. It was nevet meant for Hamas. UN has an obligation to its donor and its misleading donors to accept donations and diverting aid to Hamas, a terrorist organization. Is the UN supporting and supplying terrorists ? Has UN informed its donors that X amount of aid is being given to Hamas ? Can donors opt out that their donations could end up in the hands of Hamas ?

3. UN states that Gaza is an occupied territory of Israel. Partly because Israel controls Gaza. UN also said it sent a list of all UN staff list to Israel every year for approval.... UN recognizes Israel as the occupying power in Gaza not Hamas. UN does not recognize Hamas. AFAIK, UN only recognize Palestinian Authority as the legitimate government of the State of Palestine including Gaza, not Hamas.

4. UN had repeatedly been biased. UN had prematurely concluded there is a genocide even before the ICJ made a final ruling, it bypass the ICJ court, taking the law into its own hands, interference in the legal process. UN had also made repeated false warnings 14,000 babies could die in 48 hours,  lies. 

5. UN had said there is no safe place in Gaza, yet we only recently found out Deir-al-Balah had not had Israeli ground attack until a few days ago. Many UN staffs, coordinators, suspected terrorists and hostages are in Deir-al-Balah. We never heard about 400 food distribution sites until early 2025, when Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was floated. If you search for information on 400 food distribution sites back in 2023 or 2024, cannot find. Lack transparency. Always said no food no food...OMG Israel hit a cafe where people including journalists were hiding. No food and yet there is cafe selling pizza in Gaza ? WTF, people eating in cafes, in restaurants ?

6. There were Hamas tunnels, assets near or in or within UN facilities, UN schools, UN hospitals, UN refugee camps, etc...

7. Why the f$#@ are people buying and selling donated food/aid in Gaza ? Arent those humanitarian aid suppose to be given to the Gaza civilians for FREE ? If the Gaza civilians dont need them, UN is suppose to give it to someone else who needs them, not to give them so people could profit off selling donated items ? Corruption and nepotism

BleuPrince

are you supposing anyone can identify hundreds of thousands of people on a daily basis? that's an impossible bottleneck that will continue to starve thousands of people

checkssouth

There's no lack of food. There's a lack of humanitarian access to the Strip. Gulf states simply won't be allowed in, because GHF is a control mechanism. That's the whole answer.

Regarding the rest of your post:

It's worth noting, and not said enough, that there's not even real evidence for the idea that Hamas steals aid in any significant quantities. Nor is there a proposed way that selling this aid at marked up prices really changes anything in this conflict anyway. Like, Hamas is the state. They have access to various funds, all kinds of infrastructure, and an armed wing. It's a lie of course with zero credible sources, but Israel goes around saying how all Hamas leaders are billionaires anyway. I don't see why Hamas would bother making a few shekels on overpriced bags of flour when they could just requisition what they need from Gazans anyway. Who would stop them?

Or like, is there some big expensive gun shop in the center of Gaza and the state itself can't afford to shop there? And the state has no access to any money?

There's no way of importing weapons or anything else into Gaza. If Hamas sells some flour, what are gonna buy with the profits that they don't already own, can't simply take, and which would really give them a leg up in the war?

Also let's note that GHF doesn't actually do any checking about whether someone picking up aid is Hamas anyway, so the whole narrative about stolen aid is really just a cover story so that Israel can weaponize food and turn it on or off at will as they did with water, electricity, and border crossings themselves...

Edit: typo (result -&gt; rest)

xray-pishi

TOI is reporting right now that UAE and Jordan are going to resume airdrops. 

It sounds like there are some areas of Gaza where distribution is screwed up. It isn't that aid is blocked, it's that logistics is hard and doesn't always go according to plan.

Top_Plant5102

Hm, how exactly they can physically can do so? You think Israel is ready to let them pass in - from Egyptian border lets say? And yeah, when it was allowed, it was stream of tracks for Egypt, you probably forgot.

vovap_vovap

Because they haven't developed teleportation.


While we are at the GHF: Why did the founder resign? Why is the executive chairman a supporter of the "Gaza Riviera" project? Why are they not transparent about their funding? Why is it registered in the tax haven of Delaware?

zsoltsandor

What would it change? The problem is that the IDF refuses to deconflict competently.
