        Only Gaza. About half of the population of Palestine is the in the West Bank, and Hamas doesn’t run that

          Time will tell I guess. I don’t have a horse in this race so it’s just me and my opinions here.

        Man it would have been great if the UN’s cameras had been operating, but they were damaged in a airstrike. Which means the UN compound was air struck. It seems to be the bigger story here…

    “UNRWA received reports that yesterday a group of people with trucks purporting to be from the Ministry of Health of the de facto authorities in Gaza, removed fuel and medical equipment from the Agency’s compound in the Gaza City,”

    Given that Hamas is the de facto authority in Gaza, this cannot be Hamas lmfao

    Otherwise, Hamas made no effort to disguise who they were, which is even funnier

          What’s my option to not pay taxes? Go on hunger strike and starve to death, or be thrown in prison by the IRS?

            No one pays tax, they take tax. You can’t be held accountable for what your mugger spends your money on.

            That being said Charitable donations are tax deductible. My goal each year is to donate as much as the government takes in tax so I know they’re doing something good with my share at least. (Union dues may also be tax deductible)

          Don’t speak for others, please. I personally don’t fancy a lunatic deciding I should get a nuke dropped on me. If you want to be suicidal, do it without harming others. Or even better - get professional help.

      What the hell kind of shit take is this? This article has nothing to do with the US. As eager as you may be are (after checking post history you have a hardon for asshole comments about the US) to shit all over our government at every opportunity, this story isn’t one of them.

    There isn’t any indication that it was Hamas that stole the stuff? It just that people pretending to be the health authority stole stuff. Could’ve been some selfish asshole civilians who stole shit for themselves when they knew they were likely not priority for that aid.

    Eh fuel and medicine doesn’t help Hamas kill more people. So who cares. And yeah they might use meds to patch up militants, but guess what, laws of war state that wounded soldiers are allowed medical help.

      Fuel absolutly helps to kill more people. And wounded soldiers are allowed medical help but those medicines were for the civilians.

    Why weren’t the supplies properly secured? This was going to happen otherwise.

    Love all the downvotes from people who have no concept of opsec. Please keep making excuses for them.

    My goodness the hivemind has migrated. Pointing out a mistake is apparently a grave error.

          No, I was mocking you. Good job on absorbing that without acknowledging the fact you’re a laughing stock.

            The ignorant one is mocking me? What a concept. Quit wasting my time. The UN made a mistake and you and several others are crying that it was pointed out.

            You were also so thirsty for validation that you went through my posts and replied to a response from a different thread to a different person assuming it was you. So now you can also go fuck yourself.

      They were. If you had read the article, Hamas posed as government workers to gain access, and the security cameras that look over the compound were damaged in Israeli airstrikes.

      The supplies were not properly secured, with security systems, cameras, and fences because the compound which stored the supplies had airstrike damage.

      Who is more liable in the situation, it’s hard to say

      Attacking supply lines is not a new tactic in war. I’m surprised they were not better prepared but the same could be said about the intel that could have prevented the attack in the first place.

        The intel was Israel and they sat on it and let this happen.

        Hamas stealing supplies was expected. It has nothing to do with supply line attacks.
