Israel says it is fighting against Hamas, not Palestinians as a group. But two of Israel's best-known rights groups -- long critical of Israeli policy -- now say they disagree.

Video and pictures don't lie.
Really? Here's some video and pictures for you:

"Contrary to Hamas's false claims that the individuals in the video are security personnel, they are in fact Hamas terrorists who arrived to seize the aid from Gaza's residents," the military stated.
"Even when aid is delivered into Gaza, Hamas loots it for its own use, blatantly disregarding the needs of the population."
The video was released days after The New York Times quoted anonymous IDF officials saying that there was no evidence to suggest that Hamas routinely stole humanitarian aid.

I am anti-Netanyahu and his right wing ilk who're perfectly willing to see every Gazan dead.

Fair point. Although we saw what hugs and kisses got the Israelis before Netanyahu came to power. Terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians pretty much every month, if not every week. By the same Palestinians who whine about their own incidental casualties.
The Israeli government has stopped untold numbers of aid convoys and refused to open other corridors so they can get in.
Then, they insisted on replacing NGOs with their own distribution system that's been a disaster.

Yeah, no easy answers.
If Israel allows in aid by third parties, of course it will be used for smuggling weapons since locals will be involved throughout. If Israel does it themselves, like the current plan, Hamas will stir up trouble to stop the distributions and make Israel look bad. Because the suffering of Palestinians has always been the best tool Hamas has in its belt.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar believes Palestinian deaths are necessary sacrifices'Airdrops aren't great, but seems to be the best way I can think of to get food to those in need.
