Those claims have been investigated and were found to be insubstantial. Given that the government of Israel is extraordinarily biased in this matter and would never, under any circumstances, admit to deliberately starving civilians, we can safely disregard whatever excuses they put forth in the absence of external corroboration.
> Sam Rose, the acting director of affairs for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, says Israel – which has near-total jurisdiction over what goods enter and exit Gaza – has controlled “to the calorie” the volume, type and overall flow of food into the enclave. “The system is designed not to function smoothly,” he said.
> Last October, Israel’s government banned UNRWA from operating in areas under its control, a prohibition that went into effect in January, having accused the agency of failing to stop Hamas’ alleged theft of aid. An internal US government review found no evidence of widespread theft by Hamas of US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Additionally:
> since when did negotiating with terrorists like Hamas even become acceptable
When people say they "don't negotiate with terrorists," what they mean is that they will not make concessions in response to terroristic threats. This idea has no relevance in this situation.
> Why has the rest of the Arab world not volunteered to receive Palestinian refugees?
You're describing forced displacement, which is a component of genocide. The reason why the Arab world has not collaborated with Israel's efforts to commit genocide in Gaza should be self-explanatory.
This is disingenous. Obliterating entire neighbourhoods, mass-killing children, and engineered starvation, avowed by the main political responsibles are hardly “crossfire” and can only be part of a savage conception of war, at odds with the Geneva convention, and human decency. It is shameful and deeply dispiriting to read such rationalization of genocide.
