Public sentiment is sharply divided over the Gaza conflict, with commenters expressing outrage at civilian suffering and calling for international accountability, while others defend Israel's military actions against Hamas, leading to a complex and emotionally charged discussion. There is widespread demand for humanitarian aid and frustration with the inaction of the international community.

Israel

Hamas

International Community

Why can’t it just be both?  

I am asking because arguing over whether this meets the legal definition of genocide distracts from the fact that what Israel is doing is terribly awful and the USA should do everything it can to stop it ASAP.

sfreddity

Its a square. Like all squares, it is also a rhombus. The squares who yell at people for only saying rhombus are more concerned with yelling than geometry.

starchitec

I don't really care which term they use, it's the use of the passive voice to describe what's happening.

"The starvation in Gaza is unacceptable!" Is a correct statement, but it completely leaves out what is causing the starvation.  They've turned the state of Israel into how they used to view Republicans, just pawns in the flow of history, their every action dictated by their opponents, with no other options but to do, sadly, what they were forced to do by the left.

There is a man made famine in Gaza and Israel is the "man made" part of it.  It's exhausting that they know they've completely misunderstood the current state of Israel badly, and that we have to listen to them fumble around, desperately hoping that what is happening is secretly the fault of someone else.

John_Jaures

Again, how do far leftists keep taking over these centrists subs?

Peanutbutternmtn2

I like Sarah a lot. But let’s not do this euphemism bullshit. Call a spade a spade. What started out as a legitimate military operation in response to October 7 has now devolved into a full blown genocide. I’m not anti Jewish. I’m not anti Israel. I’m not pro hamas. But for the love of God, there is an actual genocide happening in plain view. DO NOT COVER FOR IT!

It’s both. The genocide is the worst part of it

These people are George W. Bush Republicans, not beacons of morality. Don't expect these ghouls to be ethical when it comes to murdering Muslims or anyone else. They are still likely to defend what we did in Iraq, even though they would have to acknowledge that we were lied to in order to gin up support for that atrocity. Most of the Bulwark are devout zionists who have no problem with Jewish people of European extraction going to a land that has nothing to do with their personal ancestors and slaughtering natives in order to steal their homes. The fact that it's happening by the millions at this moment does not bother them. The bad PR of being a full throated supporter of this atrocity at this moment is the only thing that motivates Sarah even begrudgingly using the words "humanitarian crisis." They would never actually support something like an arms embargo against Israel because they support what is happening.

This is the only place I’ve heard most of this. I really wish the author would have linked some sources for the claims at the beginning. As it is, all I can find are reports of Israel forcibly evacuating people and bombing entire rows of high-rises, with no explanation as to strategy or even why it *might* be necessary. 

The Israeli govt really needs to get its explanations out. Because right now, everyone *but* them is getting their story heard, and it looks incredibly bad for Israel. I’m a staunch supporter of Israel, and even *I* am starting to wonder what tf they are doing with this assault.

Did you know that God can see your heart? I think you’ll find that he will not be pleased by what he finds when he opens yours, but I suspect you never did believe in God in the first place. Just a bastard version of your ego that you’ve worshipped, and for worshipping false-idols, you will burn eternally.

It might be a good time to release the hostages and Hamas go into exile.

FosterFl1910

Easy fix. Hamas surrenders and returns the hostages. 

If you launch a massive terrorist attack against a country orders of magnitude more powerful than you, what exactly do you expect would happen? That country is going to bomb your territory to smithereens, a lot of civilians are going to be killed in the collateral damage, and food shortages are likely. The enemy is going to blockade you and not allow trade. Duh. That’s what happens in war.

Rule #1 of war: Don’t start wars you can’t win. Hamas didn’t follow that rule and as a result Gazans are suffering. Next time follow rule #1.

FlyHog421

I'm fairly agnostic on the question on whether or not what's going on in Gaza can be considered a "famine." But Western journalists have lit their credibility on this issue completely on fire.

The New York times literally just got into hot water a month ago for pushing out a story on this issue with a deceptively cropped photo of a child with a litany of pre-existing health conditions on a story about starvation in Gaza.

FootjobFromFurina

This might be the few times in human history where a group of people attacked a stronger group, only for the attackers to immediately run and hide behind their children. 

Any other time in human history, everyone in Gaza would just be annihilated. Which is why it rarely, if ever, happened in history. They had a 0% chance of winning a war against Israel and yet they still attacked. They are still fighting to this day. 

Hamas surrenders and the war ends. Gazans clearly still support Hamas, so the war will continue until either they don't, or they all die.

DarkCushy

Amazing how everything that happens in Gaza is everyone else's fault except hamas

opal-flame

The BBC and UN aren't exactly known for their unbiased takes regarding Israel/Palestine. Two sides of the same coin.  Israel is far from innocent but they're not the main factor keeping the Palestinian people from receiving much needed aid.

Doodlejuice

Remember how they changed the definition for this? Not like, Sudan or Iran in 2022 or Iraq 2022. But this.

femnoncat

Agreed; allowing/supporting/promoting Hamas has caused a terrible humanitarian crisis, I guess in the name of anti-semitism. I can't see another reasons countries would support a terrorist government working to  oppress and impoverish its people just to be able to promote a narrative of "Jews bad, cause all this"

Romarion

There is hunger and food insecurity in Gaza. 

There is no famine. 

The IPC [changed how they measure and when they declare a famine, specifically so they could slander Israeli efforts to limit humanitarian aid being stolen by the terrorists](https://govextra.gov.il/mda/ipc/gaza/).

The UN can sit the fuck down.

_L5_

A failure of the UN to coöperate in delivering aid, perhaps.

They also had to break the longstanding definition of famine to declare this.

WulfTheSaxon

Isn't the starvation of people without significant comorbidities in the single digits?

Individual7091

Nuance gets lost in the whole tragedy. And using loaded words like famine, genocide, war criminal, etc. polarizes us further. 

rnjbond

Meanwhile, the UN is doing what to help? Their organization has become utterly worthless.

Kruse

raouldukehst

I don't believe there's any credible evidence that there is a famine, and typically any such blood libel accusations comes from so  called Pallywood, a lot of it Qatari funded

scorbini

Anyone with an iota of reasoning skills can see that this is a PR stunt and that Gaza is not in an actual famine. I think if anything it's more likely that Palestinians are choosing not to eat or deprive their children of food because it feeds into a Pallywood narrative to slander Israel

Seems like a failure of Oh I don't know.. Hamas? These guys poked the proverbial bear with a stick and thought they'd win? Dumber mistake than the Japanese in WW2.

Mysterious-Coconut24

Let's be honest with ourselves here.  If Hamas released the hostages today and its leaders went into exile, it would absolutely *not* stop the carpet bombing, the forced starvation, the targeted assassinations of journalists and doctors, the theft of land, and the genocide (not a war).  *It never would have!* 

Hamas knows it, Zionists know it (although they keep saying the opposite) and everyone who knows anything about the Israel/Palestine issue knows it.

Vote me down all you want.  It's the truth.

nickprovis

The idea of Palestine is basically gone at this point. The best that can come out of this is regional redistribution.

Jibeset

Just FYI, he’s saying this after the UN-linked IPC declared a famine in Gaza… after blatantly changing its own standards for declaring a famine.

[https://freebeacon.com/israel/un-backed-famine-watchdog-quietly-changed-standards-easing-way-to-declare-famine-in-gaza/](https://freebeacon.com/israel/un-backed-famine-watchdog-quietly-changed-standards-easing-way-to-declare-famine-in-gaza/)

“Unlike previous IPC reports on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, the July report includes a metric—known as mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC)—the agency has not historically used when issuing a "famine classification," its most dire determination. The report also includes a lowered threshold for the proportion of children who must be considered malnourished for the IPC to declare a famine, down to 15 percent from 30 percent. The 15 percent threshold had previously been used to indicate a famine was likely.”

Also inb4 “Israel is intentionally starving civilians”, “Israel blocked all aid”, “Israel has occupied and settled Palestine since 1967“. I’m not interested in debating these claims.

200-inch-cock


Starter Comment:

Israel continues its forced starvation of the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu says starvation isn’t happening and it’s not Israel’s policy, despite overwhelming proof to the contrary. Experts say this is a man made crisis intentionally engineered by Israel. There are undeniable examples of children and civilians dying from starvation on a mass scale despite Netanyahu’s denials.

Will the EU (and the rest of the world) ever meaningfully impose sanctions that actually hold Israel to account or change their behavior? If a dem is elected to POTUS in 2028 will the US’s policy towards Israel dramatically change?

actsqueeze

How much blame do you place on Hamas for what is going on? If people are starving now, but weren’t before the October attack by Hamas, why aren’t you assigning any blame to them?

ATLEMT

I read a study about 15 years ago that I wish I could find, claiming that if you did the numbers, our global food output is enough to feed literally every single person on earth 6000 calories a day. Its the politics and other factors that cause starvation.

If that study was true, then there should be no excuse for people going hunger.

absentlyric

The problem isn’t whether or not you think there’s some government culpability. The problem is if you think there’s some sort of outsized government culpability for Israel compared to any other nation or government. 

I lived through the whole Iraq/Afghanistan war timeline. Sure there were some protestors here and there. But there weren’t music concerts being taken over by anti-American banners. Every time you went on a social media post people weren’t spamming American flags with the word “genocide” next to it. People weren’t constantly spamming “Free Iraq” or “Free Afghanistan.” 

And this is after over 1,000,000 million people were killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. 

But this isn’t supposed to be a “whataboutism.” It’s a genuine question as to why it seems like nobody gives an absolute fuck about any other war or genocide or whatever but suddenly are hyper focused on this conflict to the minute detail. I can find you plenty of photos of dead Iraqi kids, but nobody cares. And that’s the problem.

I am pro Israel, but I’m also a mother, and it is hard to see a child or a baby suffering, no matter where they’re from. Yeah I want these babies to be fed. I also don’t want them to be raised to hate Jews. But an infant shouldn’t be held accountable for what happened in 2023.

Shomer_Effin_Shabbas

There are a lot of zionist Jews care deeply about Israel who are also extremely disturbed by the lack of food reaching Gaza. They are concerned about the actions of the current Israeli government over many things, not just the food distribution, but are able to critique with specificity and without hate (bc the goal is to make Israel better). You have to know where to look for nuanced, compassionate voices who are extremely familiar with Israeli politics. They are probably not going to be the loudest voices online because they don't say things for clickbait or allow for easy, comforting narratives. Some suggestions of social media:

Israeli Policy Forum has great information and analysis about all things related to Israel.

Dobbin44

I feel so strongly that Israel is critically important I get into shouting matches with strangers about it.

But also, Israel is fucking this up pretty badly right now. Saying war is hell isn't really an excuse. They have to understand the optics of the situation and take them into account, Hamas certainly is. Optics matter because right now the crap optics make us diaspora Jews less safe. That's real too.

NAF1138

It is totally sane, normal, and not at all contradictory to support Israel as a Jewish state *and also* condemn or criticize what the state is doing.

Hamas aside, Israel as the occupying entity has a legal and moral responsibility to ensure appropriate humanitarian assistance is available. The starvation is not fake, there are absolutely innocent civilians starving, even among the wealthier families in Gaza, because there simply is not enough food available to them. 

Don’t let anybody convince you that it’s inappropriate to feel disturbed by this crisis, or that if you’re disturbed you must adopt a host of other anti-Israel and antisemitic beliefs or else you are “complicit.” Fuck all of that. Check out Standing Together if you haven’t heard of them… there are “friends of” ST chapters all over North America in case that’s where you live.

Acrobatic-Parsnip-32

War is not pretty. 

Arab neighbors don’t do shit to help. 

Israel was attacked and is now responsible to feed them. 

Egypt’s border is sealed. 

It’s a whole crazy situation. 

Oh and yeah there’s still 50 hostages there. wtf.

Surround8600

Yes. It's enormously painful. It's as the Times of Israel put it: Hamas is ultimately responsible for this war, but Israel bears immediate responsibility too: [https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-israel-made-itself-responsible-for-gaza-and-for-all-the-death-and-destruction-there](https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-israel-made-itself-responsible-for-gaza-and-for-all-the-death-and-destruction-there) 

This doesn't mean we AS JEWS are morally responsible any more than other people are. But because it's the Jewish state doing this (and by "this" I mean "allowing a famine to continue instead of making every possible effort to alleviate it") it's giving a moral injury to all Jews.

tempuramores

This is something I've been struggling with myself. One of the things that turned me off of the progressive left (as a progressive leftist) was seeing how many of my friends ooh and ahh over my 2 year old but justified the murder of the Bibas boys. Kfir Bibas was 3 days older than my son, and my partner and I were considering Aliyah in 2022. My own friends might have been justifying the murder of my son, my partner, and myself.


I refuse to do the same thing to a Palestinian child, no matter the crimes of their government. No baby deserves to starve and to hand-wave away that starvation is a betrayal of every value I hold. 


It's not right or fair, but every government has to weigh the virtue of a proportional response (you can tell I watched too much West Wing as a kid). Clearly what's being tried *is* dismantling Hamas, but I don't believe one life can be traded for another--how many children are the Hamasniks worth? 


I support Israel defending itself, but how far is too far? I don't really have an answer.


EDIT: I don't have an answer but I do have a suggestion. The western powers can recognise a Palestinian state once all the hostages are returned AND the remainder of Hamas disbands/submits to the ICC for judgement for war crimes for October 7. Return the hostages, disband, do teshuva, and they get a state. The ball is in their court, I'm tired of this nonsense.

dont_thr0w_me_away_

Israelis criticize the goverment all the time, just more between ourselves and less when talking to out of country people.

BlackVirusXD3

Yes, absolutely feeling this way and there are many of us navigating the painful complexity, though our voices aren’t as prominent online as the extremes. Most Jews I know irl feel as we do. This is our humanity, and we have to hold on to it for dear life.

Prudent_Web_3677

I wish there was something we could really do to help.  I don’t think placing blame is most important, and that’s where all the tension and hatred forJews comes from.  We have to work on fixing and helping.

RedFlowerGreenCoffee

There’s no reason for Israel to not get aid to them and anyone in their right mind wants that but it will take a collective effort.

hinaultpunch

The way I view it is that I’m pro-Israel anti-Bibi. The way this was has been prosecuted is to keep him in power and with Trump now back in the White House he’s all onboard with Trump’s insane plan of mass expulsions of Arabs from Gaza so trump and his family can build waterfront resorts on the cheap.

When Israeli soldiers are saying their surperiors are telling them to use live ammunition on unarmed civilians then there is definitely culpability by the some of the top leaders in Israel and it starts with Bibi.

TheInfinityOfThought

The problem is that there is supply but UN is refusing to work with GHF so supplies are piling up. Israel just showed reporters what was happening. The issue isn’t supply but the UN refusing to work unless Hamas gets a cut.

Correct-Effective289

War is hell. Anyone who thinks that a country can fight a perfectly clean war where no civilian is harmed knows nothing about war. By all accounts, this is actually a considerably clean war. 

“War is hell” is not an excuse to target civilians, but rather an acknowledgment that when you are fighting a war in densely populated urban area against an enemy whose strategy is to maximize their own civilian suffering, non-combatants will die. Moreover, this has to be the first war since World War 2 where neighboring countries actively refused to shelter civilians caught in the crossfire, as Egypt and Jordan are refusing to do now. This makes it extremely difficult to move non-combatants away from the battle space. Another first is the outright refusal of the defeated entity (Hamas) to surrender. They are clearly beaten and could end this war tomorrow if they wanted to. 

It’s also worth noting that had Israel started this war, the conversation would be different, but this is a war of necessity — Israel was attacked by Hamas and Hamas must be eliminated.

Individual-Stage-620

I hate to see noncombatants going hungry and suffering as well. I don't see how limiting food aid is a smart or decent way to attack Hamas. 

Has anyone determined how much aid has entered Gaza since Oct 2023 and whether that should have been enough to feed everyone in Gaza? I'm not sure how much of the problem is Israel not allowing enough aid in versus the aid not getting where it needs to be.

Flamingo_Reasonable

The government sucks and the war needs to end. Enough. This is definitely Netanyahu's fault.

However, Israel is now allowing aid to enter Gaza basically freely, which is important to mention. A lot of what you see is indeed propaganda. It would have been better if the incompetent fools in government didn't play right into it. The entire GHF thing was an obvious mistake.

Ahad_Haam

Yeah it’s pretty awful, I’ve had to stop paying attention to it because everything about it is so awful it negatively affecting my mental health.

lordbuckethethird

A lot of people base their views on this conflict (both the current Gaza war and the longer conflict since 1948) on their identity as a Zionist/antizionist or “pro-Israel/pro-palestine” instead of trying understand how individuals are harmed. I don’t really care if people are Zionists or antizionists but I’m not interested in talking to people who believe that the entire population of Gaza is deserving of starvation or forced displacements. Ethnic cleansing is disgusting and needs to be condemned forcefully.

Good-Concentrate-260

It is wearing on all of us. It’s time to end this.  I defended every more  Netanyahu for well over the first year. I don’t understand how shooting at starving civilians is supposed the make Israel safer.

Interesting_Claim414

Oh I definitely feel this way, and will be downvoted into oblivion now for saying that.  But I am having a hard time with the idea that the whole population should be paying the price for what the governing body did , we have other examples of the government doing atrocious things (looking at you , Russia, Trump administration) but yet there are very few people saying: oh yes you elected that and advocating for collateral damage. Bibi now is ensuring that there will three more generations of Palestinians and people around the world that will hate Israelis and all Jews. And no matter how great IDF is they are not saints , not perfect and unlikely winning this war. 
Oh and the war is hard and oh well what about Egypt crowd is normally posting from places nowhere remotely close to any conflicts or wars; most of them really don’t know what they are talking about.

Sababa180

Israel is not alone. The UN, putting Hamas political ambitions first, is at least complicit, probably more.

Puzzleheaded-Test218

The food is already in Gaza.  The UN refuses to distribute it. 

Suitable_Vehicle9960

Is this a good faith discussion? Read the news, please, prior to ranting online. YNetNews is a noted centrist/moderate/objective news outlet. It is NOT The Times of Israel, nor is it Haaretz. It's fair. Egypt is sealed and the world is not blaming THEM for not feeding Gazans, and Israel is TRYING to feed them.

QueenLevine

I feel sorry for them.  I don’t feel guilty.  That’s the difference.

BurnThis2

What is happening is the fault of Hamas, the UN, Israel, and gullible westerners. It’s horrible and not okay. I can’t control any of them and feel helpless. I want the hostages safe. I want Hamas gone. I want two states and peace. Nobody cares what I want though

Bakingsquared80

The international community only cares because Israel is a sensational topic. Most Americans don’t care at all that millions of Iraqis died in the wars America fought but they suddenly care that some Gazans are dying. It’s literally just because anti-semitism is how you get views and clicks.

Round-Status-5773

Return the hostages and stop trying to kill all Jews.

Next question?

shragae

It's a war. There's a reason people say war is hell. And this is a war in a densely populated urban area in which one side is seeking to maximize casualties amongst its own civilian population. Understand that every image you see -- and they are horrific -- is exactly what Hamas wants. Also understand that there is extreme media bias against Israel. They are not giving you the full story, like the fact that Hamas actively prevents Gazans from getting aid or the fact that there are many tons of it waiting to be distributed. 


Israel is a country, flawed like any other. They're certainly far from perfect. But there are probably dozens of other horrors taking place all over the world right now. Why is it that people are so obsessed with this one conflict? Why does no one care about Sudan, for example, or the ongoing slaughter of Druze in Syria (who Israel tried to help, by the way)? 


You already know the answer to these questions. 

DoodleBug179

I hate to say this after your post, but Hamas really is to blame, both for the Blood Libels they spread and for the misery they spread.  To be upset is a normal,  Jewish response, but the only party to be upset with is Hamas.

LanceJade

Please remember that Palestinians have a whole industry of fabricating misinformation (Paliwood is real). The pictures you see of the starving children have proven again and again to be from Yemen/Syria, AI or even staged using terminally ill patients. In many cases, the "child" is already swaddled to the point that no one can see that it's actually a doll. 


Ask yourself why the "famine" is suddenly worse now that the UN/Hamas no longer has monopoly, especially when we've seen and heard from Gazans themselves that they can finally get aid without having to pay for it. The weaker Hamas gets the worse the reports of Gaza's "suffering". This is more than just a coincidence - the propaganda is turned up to max using the oldest blood libel of them all: bloodthirsty Jews killing innocent babies. If anything, they are getting desperate.


Yes, there us hardship and civilians are always the ones to suffer in war. The task of providing aid to large crowds with Hamas operatives swarming about is a logistical nightmare and there will be shortages until the network has been properly established. It is important to remember, however, that neither the IDF or the GHF are claiming famine and the data does not support that there is ongoing famine. 


It is important that we keep level-headed and rational so we do not fall for the propaganda. The world was always turned against us and we should not rely on the words of antisemites. 

Sad_Eagle8690

Many of those images you seeing are from Yemen, syria, or just staged.

watch sahartv or any of the other myriad of smaller channels. you can see there is definitive exaggeration that looks terrible but you need the context

i mean yes war is awful. yes people are struggling. but Gaza has restaurants. food (though admittedly diverted via Hamas, etc). yes people have died (though 98% of the population is still alive and well)

but watch sahar. this clip, he collected video from people who filmed CNN filming what they wanted the world to see from there. there are definitely staged clips that you're seeing. there's a clip of a kid to be so hungry he's eating sand but there's restaurants right behind him just out of the CNN footage. supposedly a baby that was born on a pile of rubble but the baby is totally clean and they're saying it's 2 hours old but I can assure we tell you that baby's far older than 2 hours. and look at the clothes, they are not close that anyone would find if it was as bad and devastated as they're saying it is 

popular media is showing what they want you to see, not necessarily the whole picture

If you had access to live-streamed coverage of Berlin during WW2 you would have been equally appalled. War is disgusting, and anyone that advocates or encourages is it wrong in the head. Hamas chose this war and refuses to surrender because western college students have glorified and encouraged their violence. Just all around a shitty situation.

TheForsaken69

How about we do some research and talk about facts and not propaganda designed to spread lies and twist the narrative.

Here is a detailed analysis of what is really happening.  Once people address the facts maybe then they can start blaming Israel for something.  But OP and others chiming in have skipped over all the relevant issues, like how Israel does deliver aid, how the UM refuses to cooperate or allow Israel to escort the aid under guard inside Gaza, or how Hamas steals the aid, or how GHF is trying to go around Hamas but the UN is trying to stop GUF from doing that.  

https://www.np.reddit.com/r/BeneiYisraelNews/s/PJIef6wSHu

Asphodelmercenary

I think the issue is people putting the blame entirely on Israel, which seems to be the case for 90% of these propaganda inducing posts. Yes it’s sad, but it’s inevitable.

Mindless_Charity_395

Think back to WWII. All those people starving in concentration camps in Germany. Not just Jews, other people too. 

Did Americans and Europeans "placed blame" or "acknowledged magnitude" for that? Do you think they should have?

  
Also, in the case of Gaza. The photos are children with mostly congenital diseases that cause wasting, atrophy. Yes they need better medical care. But they are not "starving."

TopSecretAlternateID

This is a TROLL. It’s disgusting how they are inundating these groups but you can easily see what they e posted about. The fact that this troll never postedONCE about anything Jewish let alone Gaza says it all.

yumyum_cat

Israel looks bad by allowing the starving of so many women and children, so politically, it would be in their best interest to get food and medical aid to the people of Gaza, even if it's not Israel's responsibility. 

Of course, the rest of the world could figure out a way to get food to Gazans if they really wanted to.

FreeRangeGrape

Imagine if we had todays media during WW2. We could not blame any one nation for the starvation and difficult circumstances war creates globally. Israel is held to a standard no other nation on Earth is expected to adhere to. Not to mention there are two sides to every story. The population in Gaza was not "well fed" under HAMAS before the war either so these conditions hit even harder.
