    Iran and the Hamas leadership have never had the Gazan civilian’s best interest at heart; they’ve just used Israel and the fight against occupation as an excuse to maintain power and expand their influence.

    Israel is conducting this genocide, but Israel never would have had an excuse to enter the Gaza strip without the attack on October 7th. Hamas had to have known their attack wouldn’t accomplish anything and would illicit a strong and disproportionate response from Israel. Now the citizens of Gaza are paying the price while the Hamas leadership fucks off to chill in Qatar.

      Hamas wouldn’t shoot the food aid down though. That’s just a stupid waste of ammo. If anything they’d seize it for themselves instead.
