It’s actually kind of crazy to think about. Every war in recent history, international organizations have pushed to get innocent refugees out of the war zone and to distribute aid in any way they can. Gaza is the first time that these same orgs oppose getting Palestinians out or getting them aid in a way that’s secure. Just happens that doing those things (removing the civilian population or providing aid in a way that’s secure) undermines the two central war strategies of Hamas. The idea the UN and others are even neutral is nonsense. They have been actively supporting Hamas’ war strategies at the expense of Palestinian civilians. Those civilians have been hostages of Hamas. Unable to escape being used as human shields and helping fuel the Hamas war effort via purchasing aid. Israel shares the blame for allowing it to go on since 10/8, extending the war for so long.

A reminder that the UN is refusing to participate in distributing of aid in Gaza bc the new system will include security that prevents Hamas from stealing and reselling the aid. A very weird objection if an organization was actually prioritizing helping Palestinian civilians.
