    We were trying to make the critique in a balanced way to keep pressure on Hamas—and to not abandon Israel’s just effort to defeat an enemy that attacked it on October 7th, killing twelve hundred people

    We’ll make no mention of the social murder, excess deaths, and physical murders that have been occurring year over year, inflicted upon Palestinians by Israel (and by extension, the West).

    The risk of strengthening Hamas, if Hamas got hold of the fuel or the food, was a serious question. It wasn’t a made-up concern. We never saw it going directly from what the United States was providing. So I want to be clear on that. But they undoubtedly were trying to control the administration of aid because it was a way of holding on to governance.

    “Our entirely fictitious concern of strengthening Hamas was more pressing to us than Palestinians starving to death”

    Until March of 2025, it wasn’t great, but people were surviving. And it was not an accident. It took constant engagement to keep that flow.

    “It definitely isn’t our fault, notice how it only started two months after we left (take no notice of the conditions that lead up to this and how we fostered them and also nobody starved to death prior to this no sir)”
