https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_in_occupied_Germany
1 year before the USA allowed aid agencies to feed starving children. German calorie intake 1/3 to 1/2 that of the target for Gaza.
The US firebombed cities to set them on fire.
The US ORDERED extra food be destroyed.
The US intentionally used food rations as a political tool to shape/punish/reward/control the occupied population.
That isn't having difficulty getting food in due to conflict.
A working pre-war aid system is going to be different during an ACTIVE war that the aided peoples initiated, especially when the aid came via the people that they started the war with. In addition resources have been forced to be diverted by the war that Gaza's government started as that was takes up a lot of resources/funds that were previously available for other things during the prior peacetime.
Normally a government plans for food supply issues prior to starting a war with their neighbors. Especially when all food comes through said neighbor.
They weren't bulldozing entire cities a year after the Nazi government collapsed. It's totally incomparable to the hate and viciousness we see from the Israelis.
What's the plan here? Kill 10% and the rest will start liking Israel?
Look, eventually the dust will settle on this and it will be clear how many people Israel killed and what little it accomplished. All the current rhetorical points are going to look extremely silly.
i am pretty sure that at end of 1944 you would have demanded allies to stop fighting and leave germany, because germany is pretty much finished, and whatever they are doing is extremely silly of not evil. battle of berlin was totally pointless, it only demolished 80% of city, killed 125k people in a couple of weeks and accomplished absolutely nothing. right ?
"More children have died in three weeks in Gaza than in the entire sum of conflicts around the world in the past four years." — Save the Children, October 2023

> In 2024 alone, at least 600 children have been killed or injured in Myanmar.
https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/geneva-palais-briefing...
> As feared and as warned, the situation in Sudan has become fatal for a frighteningly large number of children. In reports UNICEF has received that cover the period from the start of the fighting until 25 April 2023, 190 children have been killed.

> In total, more than 50,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured since October 2023.
> Ukrainian officials reported that approximately 25,000 civilians had been killed…
Even if every one of those 25k were kids, still no.
The actual report "Save the Children" cites is available at https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/4084012?ln=en&v=pdf - page three of the English report states:
> The violations verified in the greatest numbers were the killing (4,676) and maiming (7,291) of 11,967 children, the denial of humanitarian access (7,906 incidents), the recruitment and use of children (7,402) and the abduction of children (4,573). The number of children detained for actual or alleged association with armed groups including those which are currently under sanctions enacted by the Security Council, or for national security reasons, surged to 3,018, further depriving children of their rights. The highest numbers of grave violations were verified in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (8,554), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (4,043), Somalia (2,568), Nigeria (2,436) and Haiti (2,269). The sharpest percentage increases in the number of violations were verified in Lebanon (545%), Mozambique (525%), Haiti (490%), Ethiopia (235%) and Ukraine (105%).
(A preemptive note: These are verified cases; so the real numbers will be higher. In both conflicts, verifying every or even most cases is… tough.)

> At least 2,406 children have been killed or injured since the escalation of the war in Ukraine nearly 1,000 days ago, according to the latest available verified reports.
When comparing numbers one should also compare high-end estimates vs. high-end estimates and conservative numbers vs. conservative numbers.
Half of Gaza are minors, which is quite unusual, and very much not the case in Ukraine.

I would very much like both conflicts to stop hurting kids.
Considering how many times Arabs started and lost wars against Israel, how many atrocities they did to Israel people it's not a surprise your #2 is not a popular option there.
Need to mention nothing can justify current levels of destruction in Gaza.
