    Hamas has been hoarding Gaza’s resources to continue its military campaign against Israel. The IDF said on October 24 that Hamas possesses vast fuel reserves of about half a million liters, a claim that was confirmed by Western and Arab officials to The New York Times.

    A senior Lebanese official told the newspaper that Hamas has enough supplies to sustain fighting for three to four months without a need for resupply. The terror group has also allegedly been stockpiling food, keeping it from Gazan residents who are in desperate need.

    Reports have emerged that the group has also stolen humanitarian aid delivered to UNRWA.

    But, no, you go ahead and continue to pretend not to know things.
    I believe those are the fuel reserves shown in a photo I posted earlier which H_A immediately dismissed.

    I'm always still in trouble again

          Like exactly what you did here. You claimed that I didn't address something literally in a response to the post where I did exactly that

          There is absolutely nothing to suggest that the situation has changed. A couple months after the NYT article that you "snipped for relevance" Jake Tapper on CNN ran a story that featured Palestinians complaining that Hamas steals all the food and other supplies that make it into Gaza. It included an aerial video of Hamas forces stopping a shipment, beating the driver, and loading everything on to their own trucks and disappearing with it.



          Ms. Snipped for Relevance strikes again!

          Or should it be Ms. Snipped for Relevance strikes out again!
          And? Given that the NYT article was from late October 2023 that would place the Tapper report "A couple months after the NYT article" in December or possibly very early January. We are now in May 2024.

            And the two sources I referenced earlier are from December 2023 and February 2024. Are you suggesting that Hamas has since stopped stealing aid supplies and has opened up its vast stores to civilians? You want to try and back that up?

              UN Blames 'Fog of War' for Overcounting of Gazan Child Deaths

              The United Nations now claims that "the fog of war" is to blame for a major overstatement of the number of Gazan children who have been killed in the war.

              In mid-March, the U.N. Children's Fund stated that 13,450 children had been killed in Gaza, citing figures from the Hamas-run Gazan Health Ministry. Catherine Russell, the director of UNICEF, said in a television interview on March 17 that those numbers were "staggering" and "really shocking."

              "We haven't seen that rate of death among children in almost any other conflict in the world," Russell claimed at the time.

              The statistic was cited frequently in the international press, leading to accusations that Israel had committed war crimes, including targeting babies and children intentionally.

              Even Hamas has since admitted that those numbers turn out to be off by at least 40%. The United Nations revised its numbers last week, without providing an explanation.

              "When it comes to Israel, it's clear that the U.N.'s goal is not accuracy, but rather to immediately seize on any report, no matter how unsubstantiated or even manifestly false, in order to portray Israel as malevolent," Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, told JNS.

              "The right thing for the U.N. to do now would be to admit that their casualty count in Gaza is a complete failure," Neuer added.

              Last Wednesday, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) released updated casualty figures. Some 7,797 Gazan children had died in the war as of April 30, it said — a roughly 42% drop from the mid-March numbers.

              It also revised its casualty figures for women by nearly a half — from more than 9,500 to fewer than 5,000.


              You can't just make up numbers and expect people to believe you.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Meanwhile over 1 Million children were deliberately killed last year in the US by their own mothers. And the left celebrates it.

                  Why not? Hamas does it, and liberals accept it without question.

                      Now you tell me what your figure is for all civilian casualties across Gaza.

                      Less of your smile's and insults, just tell us the number that you believe have died.

                        Oh, for sure....... I expect that several of the Israeli and IDF leaders have mentioned the killing of all.

                          I've seen pictures of murdered Gazans being dragged through the streets behind motorcycles. About ten years ago.

                          ​​​​​​Look, if you really think that civilians and their children deserve to die for any reasons then you are some kind of hypocrite.

                          Quite the opposite. HAMA wants genocide of the Jews. Israel is responding to their attacks. Israel keeps trying to appease the Palestinians but they will have none of it. Israel gave them Gaza and rather than exist peacefully, they used Gaza as a platform to launch more attacks against Israel. This has been going on since Israel became a country. Constant attacks against Israel by arab groups. When the Arabs don't attack Israel, Israel is fine with coexisting with them. But when the attack just keep coming, then Israel has as right to defend itself and prevent future attacks.
                          Palestinians have lived on Gaza from historical times. Israel gave nothing to Gaza.

                          If you support genocide then you are not pro-life.

                              February is four months ago and December six. What is the present situation with Hamas hoarding supplies and denying civilians access? Do you know?
