    They could literally just not give them bombs. It is very easily within their means. But they won’t, because they don’t want to

      That would not actually save Palestinians from starvation. You don’t need 1000lb bombs to commit a genocide.

        Sure but it’d be a lot easier if they had any infrastucture. Like hospitals and farms and water storage of any kind. The bombs are a large part of what enabled the starvation

          True. The military blockade allowing only a modest amount of aid in with no real assistance in distribution is also a major problem.

        It would. Israel is done within a few months without American support. They have adversaries all around them.

        There’s a reason Genocide Joe sent the fleet to protect israel against Lebanon.

          Egypt? Not an adversary. Jordan? Not an adversary. Syria? Not an adversary. On top of that, the last 3 times Israel fought them all, sometimes even simultaneously, they crushed them. All there is left is Hezbollah, with around 20% the total size of the IDF.

          Oh, and now they have nukes.

          And none of this is necessary to starve a captive population to death anyway.

              If Egypt was a rival, why not help hamas or leave the Gaza border open? If Jordan was a rival, why help track Iranian missiles? If Syria was a rival, why have American military bases?

              Meanwhile, estimates put Hezbollah fighting strength at 60k. IDF has 300k enlisted.

              Israel almost certainly has nukes.

              The problem isn’t IDF propaganda, it’s your propaganda that cannot acknowledge any difficult truth, because of your pretty clear goal in aiding the Jihadist quest to reclaim all of Palestine.

              edit: Oh, and I almost forgot. Hezbollah is Shiite Muslim. Most of the rest of the Middle East is Sunni Muslim. It’s a lot more complicated than some basic conflict.

                Israel is waging a 7 front war. Why do you think Biden sent aircraft carriers to defend against Hezbollah?

                  Power projection, maintaining our reputation and a threat. We send aircraft carriers all over the place, there will always be one or two near any ally threatened with attack. It’s why we buy them.

                  It’s really just Hezbollah at this point. Hamas barely has a couple brigades left, if that. Houthis are too far away to do much asides shoot at ships in the Red Sea. Not sure where the other fronts are. You think Egypt is going to invade or something? Jordan? Syria? Iran going to march through two countries to get there?

                    I don’t even know what this means. Just make up words like " we have to look strong" and hope people buy the propaganda I guess.
