    In short, Iran floods in money and weapons to fight Israel. They also flood in a deranged panislamist ideology. They pay so families of suicide bombers and human shields can get martyrdom pensions.

    Israel is attacked usually daily, at least weekly, with unguided rockets fired from Gaza and the West Bank, and Lebanon. The last time they were attacked was today.

    The rockets are usually either allowed to land because their trajectory is calculated and they are going to hit a field or something, or they are destroyed by Iron Dome, at an annual cost of billions of dollars.

    Part of the corruption is the cost of the attacks: the wealth and health of Palestine, pissed away to try and kill Jews. They aren’t starving and sick because of a blockade. They are starving and sick because terrorists have coopted every institution and turned them into instruments of terrorism. Why can’t Gaza import as much food and medicine as it wants through its air or water ports? Well, it’s because their air and water ports were destroyed and blockaded after being used as a launching point for terror attacks, used to import weapons, and weapons and weapons, instead of something anyone could eat.

    And where do they launch their rockets from, not military installations or empty fields. They launch them from cul de sacs and schoolyards. And then when attacks come from the same place week after week, and Israel blasts out text messages and leaflets saying to evacuate because we’re going to do an airstrike, Hamas makes sure there will be a bunch of kids and women standing there when the counterstrike happens. It’s sick. Hamas is cancer, and its Iran that keeps it alive. The UN and charity, too. If the people of Gaza actually had to endure the effects of Hamas’s leadership, they’d rise up.

      Floods in money? Is that not how America is always providing money to Israel to ensure Israel has a place in the Middle East. Sounds to me like we’re being biased on this view.

      Can you help me get a source on the attack you mentioned today? All I am finding is how Israel attacked Beirut; was this in retaliation by Hezbollah?

      You mentioned the wealth and health of Palestine is happening due to all these foreign adversaries but is it not because Israel does not want to share a space with that same Palestine because of Hamas? I understand both sides is killing the state but from what is observed Israel seems much more on the fence in its eradication rather than a cooperation under the pretense of elimination of threat.

      You seem very aware of the situation so I’m sure you know more than I but from what I’ve read multiple times the aids towards Gaza was stopped in its track by the IDF including at the ports.

      I’ve read that in history there is a fabrication of claims and ideas to justify the action of idealists and I hope it is not the case right now with misinformation being a big part of media; social and mainstream.

        That’s because you’re getting your media from actually full of shit sources. Everything that goes into Gaza is because Israel lets it in. They built two or three new desalinization plants since the war started. “Oh but isn’t Israel purposely destroying water infrastructure to make people die of thirst?” No. That would be genocidal. What they have done is blow up tunnel shafts where Hamas hides out, and it’s Hamas that tied those systems into anything resembling a public water supply.

        Israel, aside from a few weeks recently, has been letting in between hundreds and thousands of trucks of food and medicine per week.

        The US floods in money to Israel for two reasons, one of which is not legitimate. The main reason, and the one that’s legit, is because contrary to what absolute donkeys on the internet say, Israel is a democracy surrounded by hostile religious dictatships. The west cannot allow it to fall for ideological reasons, for reasons of global hedgemony. It’s like how French General Lafayette dropped everything to come help America fight the British. He said “The happiness of America is intimately connected with the happiness of all mankind.” He recognized what democracy could mean for the world; democracy is a radical idea. It needs to be protected from hostile dictatorships who think liberal ideas such as voting are blasphemous to the word of God and a capital offense. They are insane.

        The illegitimate reason is some mystical Bible nonsense about the return of Christ only taking place once Jews inhabit the holy land. Also insane.

          But… @JustZ@lemmy.world, this is stuff only COGAT says but every other human rights organization has contested it and provided evidence of otherwise… do you think it’s a good idea to get your sources from only one organization? And what about all the other organizations that discredit COGAT’s claims (like the UN, doctors without borders, the red cross, the red crescent, etc…)? Is there something that makes you think they are all lying, or?

          Holy gaslighting propaganda Batman.

          Did these desalination plants help any of the 700+ people that died since Israel broke the ceasefire a couple of days ago?
