Would you mind quoting the bit about starving people?.
Are you serious?
Are you honestly saying that palestinians were not starving under the Israeli blockage.
Seriously...how do you keep a face fd?
If you truly don't believe that the palestinians were starving, and you need quotes and links to convince you, then really, discussing this issue with you is a waste of time. Your bigotry and hate has clearly clouded your judgement.
If only the Palestinians weren't muslims, I suspect you would have a rather different opinion.
Gazans receive $billions in aid from the world community.Where does much of that aid end up???

but its distribution is being restricted, by Hamas.
The border crossings are closely controlled by the Israelis,
yes.
The controls and restrictions on the border crossings, are an attempt to deny Hamas access to the Gazans primary 'commerce', the smuggling of arms into Gaza, which the Israelis wish to deny them.
So as to 'protest' the Israeli border controls,
Hamas restricts the distribution of food within Gaza,
and blames Israel for 'shortages', and the hardships of the Gaza residents.These hardships are imposed upon the ppl of Gaza,
by Hamas, not by Israel.
PLENTY OF FOOD TO BURN, IN GAZA
I saw a TV news report from Gaza, just the other day.
The report was giving an account of an Israeli bombing strike against a UN compound [the Israelis claimed its environs had being used as a rocket base, by Hamas fighters, those 'warriors' of ISLAM].
NOTABLY, Behind the UN worker, who was complaining to the TV news crew about the Israeli strike, was the [now] open warehouse,
with donated food stacked half way to the roof.
There was a huge blaze roaring out of the opening in the U.N. warehouse, as the huge quantity of food burned.
Hamas refuses to distribute food to its people
