Israel's military tells UN in Gaza: ask Hamas for fuel
Israel's military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.
Israel's military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.
The agency, known as UNRWA, posted its warning on social media on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.
"Ask Hamas if you can have some," the IDF wrote.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wow, that's cartoonishly evil. It's like they held an internal contest on the "Most horrible thing we could say in response".
Almost as evil as Hamas sitting on a huge amount of money in Quatar and lots of oil but instead of supporting the people in Gaza they prefer using them as human shields and letting them suffer without any support and try to pin the suffering on Israel for not letting them slaughter civilians without realiation...
Yeah, dick thing to say but Israel is literally saying to ask your apparent government to provide for their people from their own stock.
What else are they going to use it for, and is that more important than their citizens?

Israel is also not allowing aid to Gaza. It's also Israel that created a Gaza that can't even provide electricity for itself. Not saying Hamas shouldn't use their stock for the sake of Gazans (if they have that much; this is still the IDF and they're not known for caring about the truth), but the reason Gaza is in this situation is still Israel.
In the short term, yes it is caused by Israel. You could also argue it was caused when Palestine and friends invaded Israel in the middle of a Civil War and lost, losing territory in the process.
Long term, this is something like 1500 years in the making.
The people running Israel right now are literally Nazi-allied legacies. When you realize who and how it is perfectly in character.
Hamas is literally the government in Gaza. It's not a joke so much as them sugg sting that they rely on their government for it's specific purpose.
Hamas has stockpiled reserves of supplies, but they keep them from the citizens. This isn't even counting their money, which could be used to provide aid for their citizens instead of wealth and weapons for themselves.
I think this is the key thing that makes me side with Israel. There is soo much "Israel this, illegal blockade that" when the literal Palestinian government has things they are holding from their citizens. That is an internal government decision.
Hamas is, at the end of the day, an organization dedicated to making martyrs of their people first and providing for them second.
This isn't speculation or opinion - this is their official stance
I love how easy it is for you to be onkwith this because you've been told they do in fact have a government. But they don't. Not really. A 45 square km patch, 2M total pop, with 50% being literal kids.
But yes they're just as organized ,capable and sustained as other large western nations. They must be bombed, surely!
They do literally have a government. Did you really think they don't? They even had elections until Hamas stopped those.
Yeah man we had elections at my high school too, they really amounted to a lot.
I'm glad Hamas wasn't in your high school, canceling elections.
If you think Gaza doesn't have a government then you are just factually incorrect and idk what else to tell you.
It's like if you came on here and acted confidently aloof about saying that Mars is blue. You're just wrong on a very basic level.
I mean, yes, Gaza was part of a sort of but not really a state (more of a Bantustan really) at the time. Now it's an actual, honest to God ghetto.
Sounds like the kind of place that needs another country to come in before they get radicalized and do something stupid.
