So cutting of food and water doesnt even hurt Hamas it’s just to be cruel to civilians?
From the total war doctrine, it does hurt Hamas, putting pressure on the civil government will hurt the ability to conduct war.
Their used to be a theory that you could break the fighting spirit of a people with embargos and bombings, but it fell out of favor in wwii.
*after wwii. Goebbels most famous words are “Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?” from his speech at the Berliner Sportpalast in 1943. But even after wwii the US bombing campaigns and massacres in Korea and Vietnam still stem from a total war doctrine. It never really went away.
US and European press coverage on Gaza is totally discredited. They just parrot Israeli talking points. Go to Al Jazeera English if you want to know what’s going on.
