In reply to the discussion: Israel Confiscated Baby Formula From Doctors On Arrival in Gaza [View all]lapucelle
(20,591 posts)74. So to recap...
- Hamas has agency
- October 7 was a genocidal event
- Hamas leader Haniyeh (who lived in the lap of luxury in Qatar) said on the record that "Hamas needs the blood of women, children, and the elderly of Gaza
- the confiscation of cans of a powdered substance found in people's luggage at a hyper-secure border crossing is SOP
- there was no formula in the bottle tiktoker awadbarbakh1 put in the baby's mouth
Oh yes, and
Hamas has the power to unilaterally and immediately end the war (which they started) by releasing the hostages, disarming, and surrendering.
And they've held that power from Day 1.

Those are simply reports about various claims, not evidence that any of the claims are true.

So many reports contradict the gov't statements on GAZA that their trustworthiness is highly suspect.

So you reject the claim that the IDF uses children for target practice as ridiculous.

It's clear that for months Israel blocked entry of baby formula along with other food. Starving babies was the point.
