I'm beginning to think these Hamas folks aren't very nice.

I fact check all newspapers I'm not familiar with. Here's this one's reputability (great!): https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/statesman-journal/

Personal comment:

Hamas stealing fuel and medical equipment from the poor to treat only their own fighters? Here's my shocked face:

- You fact check a newspaper by... Looking at another website?

The UN denied any knowledge of this.

- They first confirmed, then removed that and posted denial.

  Man it would have been great if the UN's cameras had been operating, but they were damaged in a airstrike. Which means the UN compound was air struck. It seems to be the bigger story here....

Oof

“UNRWA received reports that yesterday a group of people with trucks purporting to be from the Ministry of Health of the de facto authorities in Gaza, removed fuel and medical equipment from the Agency’s compound in the Gaza City,”

Given that Hamas is the de facto authority in Gaza, this cannot be Hamas lmfao

Otherwise, Hamas made no effort to disguise who they were, which is even funnier

- "Hamas Ministry of Health" reminds me of the Taliban members complaining about office work

There isn't any indication that it was Hamas that stole the stuff? It just that people pretending to be the health authority stole stuff. Could've been some selfish asshole civilians who stole shit for themselves when they knew they were likely not priority for that aid.

The UN had supplies for a humanitarian crisis. 1+ million people are being evacuated, and more bombs have now been dropped than an entire year in Afghanistan. Is this not a humanitarian crisis?

If Hamas is the government, and the aid is there, then the government has received the aid that the UN delivered?

I'm sure there's more to this, that's not mentioned, but the context is odd.

- Yet another Hamas apologist. yawn

  And you're not an Israeli apologist? They haven't agreed with either side, they simply said both are entitled to medical care, is that truly thought provoking.

  The UN deleted the tweet and deny that it actually happened. Yet these news articles ignore that. But that doesn't match with your extremely biased view. Genocide apologist?

Eh fuel and medicine doesn't help Hamas kill more people. So who cares. And yeah they might use meds to patch up militants, but guess what, laws of war state that wounded soldiers are allowed medical help.

- Fuel absolutly helps to kill more people. And wounded soldiers are allowed medical help but those medicines were for the civilians.

How many shitty Americans stole COVID money? How many people scam America's social funds? How many American politicians are corrupt criminals. How many terrorists, assassinations, wars and coups has America funded?

Let this shit hole world burn its all the same evils.

It's game over for our current structure of human civilization. Stop trying to save it so you can maintain your current power and control. Raw humanity is coming for you hypocrites. No nation is safe from humanity.

- Forgot your meds?

  Hamas stole his meds.

  Stop acting like you never funded death.
  
  Anyone that's paid tax has dead bodies leading back to them. Keep pretending you're more special then the rest of the assholes on earth that murder. We're all killers here.
  
  We've earned a nuke to be dropped on us and the human ego.

- What the hell kind of shit take is this? This article has nothing to do with the US. As eager as you ~~may be~~ are (after checking post history you have a hardon for asshole comments about the US) to shit all over our government at every opportunity, this story isn't one of them.

Why weren't the supplies properly secured? This was going to happen otherwise.

Love all the downvotes from people who have no concept of opsec. Please keep making excuses for them.

My goodness the hivemind has migrated. Pointing out a mistake is apparently a grave error.

-33
- It's all the UNs fault!
  
  Bahaha wow
  
  28
  
  Like I said, not my fault you and so many others have no concept of opsec. Well done summing it up though.
  
  -15
- The supplies were not properly secured, with security systems, cameras, and fences because the compound which stored the supplies had airstrike damage.
  
  Who is more liable in the situation, it's hard to say
