    That’s not the point. Why would Hamas shoot down planes trying to deliver food to their own people?

    Yes, Hamas bad. But shooting down planes trying to help your people is not just bad, it’s stupid.

    Israel on the other hand will likely be bombing and sniping the landing zones, because they want the Gazans to starve.

      I didn’t address that at all in my comment.

      Having said that, yes, i agree that they would not shoot down aid planes.

      I still contest the concept of it being “their people”. They are terrorist manipulators using a human shield to further Iranian state goals.

      To keep things clean: none of that justifies or excuses Israels actions

      That would be almost as stupid as attacking a country with an extreme rightwing government run by people who are looking for an excuse to use their incredibly powerful military to seize your land. A government run by a corrupt politician that would love to have a war that lasts as long as possible so they cling to power.

      Hamas probably wouldn’t shoot down food aid planes, but they’re certainly stupid enough to try.
