No, Hamas does not steal food from aid trucks, and Israel soldiers shoot people the aid trucks are ostensibly meant to feed. Confirmation of both assertions come from Israelis and Americans on the scene. From Aaron Maté at aaronmate.net:
The Trump administration abandons ceasefire talks just as aid groups warn of “mass starvation” in Gaza, and Israeli officials admit to yet another murderous lie.

As global outcry mounted this week over the Israeli siege of Gaza, President Trump and his Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, announced that they are abandoning ceasefire talks with Hamas, and with it any pretense of concern for the territory’s two million Palestinians.
“Hamas didn’t really want to make a deal. I think they want to die and it’s very, very bad,” Trump told reporters. “It got to a point where you’re going to have to finish the job… They’re going to have to clean it up.” Witkoff likewise accused Hamas of failing to act in “good faith,” and said the US would “now consider alternative options” to “try to create a more stable environment for the people of Gaza.”
In the current environment, the people of Gaza are enduring Trump-backed, Israeli-imposed “mass starvation,” as a joint statement from 115 aid organizations warned. The Israeli siege, the groups said, is leading to “record rates of acute malnutrition,” particularly among children and the elderly. According to the United Nations, over a third of Gaza’s population is going without food for several days and 90% lack access to clean water.
The aid groups’ warning comes more than two months after Trump acknowledged that “a lot of people are starving” in Gaza, and promised to “take care” of it. Yet Trump has done nothing but support the Israeli blockade. Right before Trump promised to “take care” of starving Palestinians, an Israeli official expressed gratitude that when it comes to pressuring Israel “to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, Trump [has] made no such requests.”
Even people that exist off in teevee land don’t believe those lies.
Some are driven to tears by the images of emaciated children and people desperate for food.
Others file it away in the that’s just how they will do ya memory banks.
I’m betting the “moral choice” we’re being cornered into is for the UK to accept the Palestinian diaspora.
You know, somebody someday should talk to the Armemians. Their diaspora is is 8 million to Armenia’s 3 million; the Armenian Holocaust actually happened, as well, they have all the evidence and had the mass graves to prove it.
