The scary thing is that Israel also has a direct and clear interest in wiping out/exiling all palestinians. It's the only way they can reasonably have access to all of what they say is their promised land. It would be ignorant of the circumstances and ignorant of history to not take this into account: Israel's actions since its establishment have shown overwhelming disdain for the Palestinian people's existence and to that end they have committed similar atrocities to Hamas, but with orders of magnitude more victims.

I think the overall point that could be made is not about how useful the help is on an absolute basis, but rather how petty it is compared to the devastation that Palestinians have been subjected to for decades, regardless of the presence of terrorist activity.

The overall injustice that Israel and the IDF represents over the whole timeline is staggering. Pogroms, massacres, bulldozing homes, murder of peaceful protestors, monetary contributions to Hamas, apartheid style laws, and not to mention the now extremely prejudiced bombing of Gaza where they are cut off from resources, and cannot even freely evacuate.

Israel has historically, and now quite directly, placed the Palestinian people into an absolute meat grinder. In the context of this, sending fuel to a hospital is clearly bad faith, even if it was guaranteed to last a week instead of a day.

If voting with your money is a valid way for people to collectively decide right and wrong, does that mean people with more money get more votes?

Does that mean the people with the most money get the most votes?

If that's all true, does that mean if someone has way more money than everyone else, they get to decide what's right and wrong?

Hijacking this comment to say:

The point of protest is to (peacefully) coerce the government by means of disruption. I'm making a huge boiling down of MLKs philosophy, but he was very clear: if you don't use methods of coercion, the government has no reason to pay attention.

How??? What kind of house do you live in? What kind of car do you drive?

For what it's worth, every article I've seen from them was pretty poignant, relevant, and funny.

I'm convinced it was sarcasm

Sorry but do you actually have such little control over your mouth and face muscles that you can't avoid gagging on toothpaste?

The video apparently states that this info is 8 years old and doesn't really prove either way, whether hamas was digging tunnels under the hospital.
