Israel-Hamas War 2023

I guess someone should do something about that.  Maybe Canada?  The UK?  South Africa?  Ireland?  I dunno.

Yes of course.  Between Hamas and Israel, any possible expression of Palestinian civil society in Gaza has been utterly destroyed.  Hamas is all there is left to fill the vacuum. Which of course serves the Likudniks just fine because it ensures Gaza will remain weak and isolated and destitute, as well as feed their hard-line security narrative.  It's a symbiotic relationship.

How did Israel destroy any possible expression of Palestinian civil society?

How did Israel destroy any possible expression of Palestinian civil society?

By destroying the housing, the shops, the businesses, the offices, the mosques and churches, the coffee shops and restaurants, the social clubs, the hospitals and the clinics.  By rendering the entire population destitute and jobless, by destroying all meaningful economic activity, forcing the entire population to be nearly completely reliant on outside aid.

What other organized body is left in Gaza other than Hamas?

Are you saying before the invasion civic society other than Hamas *did* exist in Gaza?

The article mentions opposition based on tribe.

Didn't she actually sail there are get arrested or something? Seems bizarre to have such sneering contempt for somebody who actually put their ass on the line.

Also what exactly is your criticism here? Is there some concrete action one individual person can do that would instantly solve all these problems? I mean if US Presidents have flailed importently for decades it seems insane to direct your ire at some random powerless private person. Seems like the people who actually have power, money, and resources and still miserably fail at everything would be more worthy of your contempt.

My criticism is that Squeeze gets what he wants, which is a cease fire and the IDF "fucks off" from at least parts of Gaza, Hamas starts shooting Palestinians, and he can't accept that's a result of exactly what he was asking for.

Oh no, I'm totally with you. Its all the fault of those horrible nasty woke people with their little boat of food.
If only the IDF had blown up a few more neighbourhoods, if the famine had been able to develop a bit more... You know, a few thousand more dead kids. That's the key. If only they'd delivered that then they'd absolutely have cut off civilian support for the guys chanting death to Israel.
