Western nations in this decadent and foolish age don’t have the guts for a full siege/embargo/blockade. When they talk about “embargos” what they are talking about are “kickbacks for me and my buddies”, not “starving enemies of life, food, and money”.

I’m sure Israel would love to see the cash flow to Palestinians stop, because the latter might then be forced to turn their energies to creating an economy, instead of just to creating ever increasing numbers of zombies, trained only to kill.

Except Israelis themselves aren’t willing to siege Gaza or the West Bank. They keept letting fuel supplies in or whatever.

Kind hearted, yes, but also suicidal given the fact that they are fighting a war. Mercy is for after you win the war.

In fact they could probably significantly reduce their defense budget. Israel might not actually need any aid money if there were no groups actively seeking it’s destruction.
