The problem with aid in Gaza is not that it hasn’t been arriving in sufficient amounts, but that once those trucks laded with humanitarian aid — food and medicine — are inside Gaza, those trucks are immediately beset by armed members of Hamas who help themselves to large amounts of that aid before it can be evenly distributed to those who need it the most. They not only steal aid for their own extended families, but also to sell some of it to other Gazans. The amount of aid entering Gaza is sufficient, but it is the distribution of such aid that has become so chaotic and unfair due to Hamas’ grand theft.
And then there’s the irony: shortly after urging President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to “withhold military, economic, and diplomatic support from the State of Israel…until good faith negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians lead to a permanent resolution of the conflict,” the signees admit they don’t “claim to have all the answers” because, well, they’re “simply physicians and nurses.”…
But of course that’s exactly what these signees are offering — “all the answers” to the conflict. And their answer is for the US to “withhold military, economic, and diplomatic support” from the state of Israel until it effectively surrenders, declares a ceasefire in Gaza that will allow Hamas combatants to regroup, and then to proclaim to the world that the terror group is still standing despite “all that the Zionist entity” threw at it.
How many antisemites, or members of The Squad, or the simply gullible, will now start posting online — or quoting approvingly from — the letter from these 99 medical personnel, with their crazed claim of 118,000 deaths in Gaza? Who will point out that this figure is almost three times the figure that Hamas itself — and Hamas is well-versed in inflating its own figures — has put out? Who will put out for public consumption the actual number of civilian deaths in Gaza, which amount to 14,400 once one has deducted from Hamas’ own total of 42,000 the 18,000 combatants that, according to the IDF, have been killed, and the 9600 Gazans who have died from natural causes?
