there is an abundance of food and water for the Hamas supporters
the problem is that the UN is corrupt, and Hamas are terrorists who commandeer and steal all the aid trucks coming into the Gaza Strip.
So this just isn't true. Every government worker in Gaza, whether a militant, or a janitor, is technically Hamas. So yes, you can say quite a few Hamas are getting food. And there is probably some aid that makes it to Hamas militants. But to say Hamas is stealing all, let alone a majority, is false.
Do you have any proof that Hamas supporters have an abundance of food and water? Or that if they just released all their stores the million+ people living in tents and bombed out buildings would have enough to eat and drink? I have not heard anyone make that claim. Not even the people that want to continue to block aid entry.
And, I mean, unless you believe all of Gaza should starve, if you believe Hamas has an abundance already, then why would you want to limit food and water to all the women and children (and non Hamas males)? Which, some people do believe that. And that's their choice. I don't agree with it obviously.

Hamas threatens any "foreign" military that will be present on the pier.
Okay guys, pack it up we're going home...
I mean, we shouldn't be there to begin with. When land routes exist, why is our ally forcing us to build a pier and put our troops in harms way?
