    Because they just might actually find some of the hostages. Also it’s a great way to corral people and aid, and keep them separate.

      But they aren’t separate. Gaza is receiving so much aid from Israel they say they’re running out of places to put it.

        Yup all of the international reports from NGOs and the UN are wrong. Israel says so, so it must be true right?

          Yes! They deliberately omit most of the food aid entering Gaza, to deliberately undercount calories per person. That’s not according to Israel; that’s according to the UN itself.

          That’s why the UN has predicted “mass famine” but it never actually happens.

            Are you talking about where they don’t count the food Isrealis turn around?

            And it very much is happening. It’s happening right now and has been happening for months now.

              Are you talking about where they don’t count the food Isrealis turn around?

              No, the food that goes in. The UN analysis deliberately excludes up to 70% of the food aid entering over the Israeli border into Gaza. All told it’s 3500 calories per Gazan per day, since Oct 7 - well shy of “famine”, entirely the opposite.

              These figures have been verified by independent observers and by the UN.
