The IDF eliminated Faiq Mabhouh the head of operations for the Hamas terrorist group while he was in a compound at the Shifa hospital. This compound was where he was actively directing the operations of Hamas terrorists. Per the Geneva Conventions, a hospital loses it's protected status when combatants use it for operational purposes or to hide behind the human shields of hospital patients. I find it hard to believe that UNRWA, WHO, ICRC, and the hospital administration were completely ignorant of the fact that Hamas was using the hospital as a terrorist command post. If they did know, then anything that happens to any of the patients of staff of Shifa hospital is completely on their heads. If they didn't know, then they are idiots and shouldn't be running a hospital in a place where terrorists have a history of using hospitals for operational purposes, and patients for human shields.
On 3/16 or 17, 8 million pounds of food entered Gaza, which works out to about 4 pounds of food per capita. This doesn't count the food being airdropped, and will likely increase once that US Military opens the "port" Biden wants. This doesn't really sound like starvation. Not to mention the videos of well dressed Gazans bitching about the MRE's they've been given or about the fact that the food is being air dropped, not hand delivered. We're also seeing video of this donated food being sold in markets.

I'm still seeing no reason to provide aid of any kind to the Gazastinians. If they stop lying and hating and instead begin to defend Israel against the murders against them, as well as against the hateful charter and rhetoric of those they elected, then maybe they'd be deserving of our concern.
I'm ambivalent about the food aid. On the one hand, they've absolutely brought this on themselves and should suffer the consequences of their actions. On the other, they are intentionally depriving their hostages of food and water, should we stoop to their level? Is it not appropriate to be "better" then they are? Obviously, they could stop all of this immediately, but they choose not to.
This really isn't about the appropriateness of providing food aid, even though it is going to those who engage in evil.
It's about the hypocrisy of those who whine about how those in Gaza are being starved, but bitch about the aid provided to prevent starvation. It's about the hypocrisy of those who accuse Israel of "war crimes" while ignoring the fact that Shifa hospital was being used as a Hamas combat base and as such forfeited the right to protection under the Geneva Convention. It's the hypocrisy of idiots who bitch that Israel is violating the Geneva Convention and demanding that they be held accountable, while not demanding that Hamas be held to the same standard.
