They have repeatedly hampered the entry of baby formula, a clear pattern of actions to stunt childhood development, increase childhood mortality and dissuade the population from having more children. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-said-hampering-entry-of... https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2025/07/01/i... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/22/gaza-i...

Why can't it come in through Egypt?

Because Israel controls that border crossing:

Even before this they had effective control of all goods moving through since 2007.

Why can't Gaza supply itself? There is farmland in Gaza. The Mediterranean sea is right there - plenty of fish.

Other folks are free to Google the answers to these questions.

Useless except if the following done on the US side:

Remove exception to AIPAC political status

Reevaluate AIPAC non profit status entirely

Replicate EO 14046 for Israel which adds the entire ruling party and head of state and spouses and military and affiliated business to the OFAC list

all of this is easy and doesn’t require Congress

but nobody is close to considering those actions with regard to Israel. Notably, other nation’s organizations do not enjoy this courtesy

(Don’t sorry guys, Hamas is already on these lists too)

This is not tech related and does not belong on hacker news

This is politics and therefore probably off-topic for hn. It not being tech-related is irrelevant.

An argument could be made that it is an "interesting new phenomenon", but the post is most likely to result in tedious flamewars regardless and so should probably be killed.

From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Gaza is dependent on Israel's permission. Food aid is provided by the UN and other humanitarian organisations, they require Israel's permission to bring that aid into Gaza and not attack it (n.b. attempts since 2010 to deliver aid by boat, such as the MV Rachel Corrie, have been attacked in international waters and the aid never reached Gaza). Israel destroyed the power and water desalination plants, making Gaza dependent on their supply, which has since been used as a weapon.

I would agree with you if we were in 1994 and this was about Rwanda.

Those tower blocks in Gaza that were felled on the anniversary of 9/11 were not taken down with machetes. We have got AI assisted targeting going on, with all of your favourite cloud service providers delivering value to their shareholders thanks to sales to the IDF.

The corporation that once had 'don't be evil' as their mission statement are suckling on the IDF teat along with Amazon, IBM, Microsoft and Cisco.
