World leaders know this, they're pretending not to see it. For example, the Biden administration set specific aid targets for Israel to meet and even acknowledged that they weren't being met by the "deadline" but neglected to impose any consequences.

Israelis (including those who use this platform to repeat the same warmed-over genocide denials for the umpteenth time) know it's happening too. That's why the argument is usually 50% "it's not happening" and 50% "but they deserve it".

Being pushed by world powers to provide aid to a regime that literally wants to wipe you from the face of the planet is interesting, don’t you think?

The idea that it’s only Israelis who think this is farcical is wrong and oddly conspiratorial.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter

>The charter defines the struggle to be against the Jews and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic Palestinian state in all of former Mandatory Palestine, and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel.

Okay, I read the wiki. My question is simple: why does Israel have the Right to "reclaim its historical territory," but the Muslim Brotherhood does NOT?!

If I were to continue this line of questioning, next would be: why does ANY religion have ANY right to wholely-rule ANY territory?

They're being pushed by world powers to provide aid for civilians that have been caught up in a war zone and who are being systematically starved to death, according to a lot of reputable organizations including Israeli human rights organizations.

If you want to discuss aid to the regime then maybe we can start with the suitcases of money Bibi's government sent Hamas for years because they thought a more extreme group would be easier to control.
