Israel largely shut off entry of food, water, medicine and other supplies after launching its assault on Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel — allowing only a trickle of aid trucks through two crossings in the south.
After months of warnings over the risk of famine in Gaza under Israel’s bombardment, offensives and siege, children are starting to die.
The ultimate, intended outcome of Israel’s humanitarian blockade of Gaza is beginning.
That’s my take away from this. Living in that circumstance, it becomes more about whoever will give you a weapon to fight your oppressors than it does fighting for any one ideological goal.
