    That’s definitely not what Hamas wants. Hamas NEEDS the Palestinians to suffer since this damages Israel’s reputation.

    And no, most don’t lose a night’s sleep over it, because these people are considered martyrs after all.

      Yes, a great reputation of love 😍 and peace 🕊️ :

      The Irgun ( 1931 - 1948 )

      • The organization committed acts of terrorism against the British, whom it regarded as illegal occupiers, and against Arabs.
      • Albert Einstein, in a letter to The New York Times in 1948, compared Irgun and its successor Herut party to “Nazi and Fascist parties” and described it as a “terrorist, right wing, chauvinist organization”.
      • Irgun’s tactics appealed to many Jews who believed that any action taken in the cause of the creation of a Jewish state was justified, including terrorism.
      • Irgun members were absorbed into the Israel Defense Forces at the start of the 1948 Arab–Israeli war.
      • The Irgun was a political predecessor to Israel’s right-wing Herut (or “Freedom”) party, which led to today’s Likud party. Likud has led or been part of most Israeli governments since 1977.

      What a great reputation.

      Hamas hasn’t actively denied aid… well, ever AFAIK. Such an outrageous claim needs context and evidence.
