General Discussion

I think it is sad that Gaza has a Hamas government that cares so little for it's people that it won't do the right thing and surrender.

I also understand Israel upping the pressure until they do, they do not want another Oct 7th to ever happen again.

The US actually called it's late war plan to starve the Japanese home islands "Operation Starvation"

Israel is preparing a series of sites in Gaza that could be used as distribution centres for humanitarian aid in a controversial new plan, satellite images show.
The Israeli government suspended food and medicine deliveries into Gaza in March.

Ministers said the move, which has been condemned by UN, European and Middle Eastern leaders, was intended to put pressure on Hamas to release its remaining hostages. Israel also accused Hamas of stealing aid – an allegation the group has denied.

The US confirmed last week that it was preparing a new system for providing aid from a series of hubs inside Gaza, which would be run by private companies and protected by security contractors and Israeli forces.
