even if it was true, and the charities say it is not, would that make it OK to starve the people of Gaza?

Distribution points are hours of walking away from the majority of Gazans. Then you have armed forces shooting people seeking food.

Ethnic cleansing is deeply wrong, starvation as a tactic of war is horribly wrong, we all know what's happening, please have some respect for peoples' intelligence.

1. The "war" did not start on Oct 7.

2. Even if a country's government starts a war, that doesn't not justify war crimes. This is why they're called war crimes.

3. Pointing to what allies did 70+ years ago doesn't mean anything.

The Allied occupying powers tried as hard as they could to get food into Germany. Israel is intentionally blocking food from getting onto Gaza. There's a massive difference.

> War sucks.

That's an awfully glib way of justifying deliberately starving a civilian population. Saying "war sucks" doesn't make it okay to commit war crimes.

If that's true, they are doing their best to ensure it's not working. Maybe Israel should airlift it over populated areas.
