So these aid trucks are sent in to an active war zone get pillaged do to lack of security the aid never gets to its destination and we end up with a lot of dead
What would security do? The IDF had a tank at the check point?
A tank isn't security a tank is a weapon used in a war zone. A distribution center is controlled by troops. Just the fact that a tank was there shows the Kaos of the situation

You missed the point. And tanks usually have a machine gun
The point being would security really have deterred 1000s. Or would they have to fire into the crowd?

Don't you think the Gazan hospital staff and patients may have appreciated the extra space as well as the opportunity to shelter in case of war? So why was it wrong for Israel to build the bunkers?
What's so hard to follow about that point?
What Hamas seems to have done is prevent the Gazan hospital staff and patients from sheltering in the bunkers as well as make it a target by setting up a base there and firing deadly rockets at Israel.
The First Geneva Convention stated that there should be no "obstacle to the humanitarian activities" and that wounded and sick "shall be respected and protected in all circumstances." Article 18 demanded that medical units, i.e. hospitals and mobile medical facilities, may in no circumstances be attacked.
Yet Hamas still had a 75% approval rate with the Gazan public.
Can it be they basically set out to win the world's approval by getting in the way of an Israeli response? And then attacking?
How can Israel be inept when you’re accusing them of the most brilliant evil successful of genocides ?
The Israelis built a bunker. They didn't fortify it for Hamas.

Can you say all that in light of the fact that Hamas had a 75% approval rating despite building underground fortresses beneath hospitals?
Seems like it is being questioned.

You don't need to be smart or tactically astute to Genocide a civilian population , you just need military superiority which is what they have.
Remember that time a bunch of paratroopers flew in and opened fire on a bunch of kids at a concert. Took hostages and raped women?
Israel’s sweeping restrictions on leaving Gaza deprive its more than two million residents of opportunities to better their lives, Human Rights Watch said today on the fifteenth anniversary of the 2007 closure. The closure has devastated the economy in Gaza, contributed to fragmentation of the Palestinian people, and forms part of Israeli authorities’ crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians.

My point exactly . They hate each other. And want to kill each other.

Remember when Israel turned Gaza into the worlds largest open air prison and regularly attacked and killed the prisoners over the last couple of decades , the history is easy forgotten I guess.

Speaking of which .... when are you going to acknowledge that the IDF did NOT say what you claim - "“The IDF has acknowledged that they have shot a crowd of desperate people who just wanted to eat". They said they fired at people who were attacking them, not at the crowd that was getting food. When are you going to admit that you pulled that crap out of your butt? You've been debunked on that ... again.
Dr Mohammed Salha, the acting director of Al-Awda Hospital, told The Associated Press that of the 176 injured people brought to the facility, 142 had gunshot wounds and the other 34 showed injuries from a stampede, suggesting heavy shooting by Israeli troops. He could not address the cause of death of those killed, because the bodies had been taken to government-run hospitals to be counted.
Dr Husam Abu Safyia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, said the majority of the injured taken there had gunshot wounds in the upper part of their bodies, and many of the deaths were from gunshots to the head, neck or chest.
The United Nations says a UN team that visited Shifa Hospital in Gaza City reported "a large number of gunshot wounds" among the more than 200 people still being treated for injuries on Friday from Thursday's chaotic aid convoy scene.
Large number of bullet wounds among those injured in Gaza aid convoy rush - UN
Many of the people treated for injuries following a rush on an aid convoy in Gaza on Thursday suffered bullet wounds, the UN has said.
UN observers visited Gaza City's al-Shifa Hospital and saw some of the roughly 200 people still being treated.
Israeli massacre of Palestinians waiting for Gaza aid trucks
Israeli forces have killed more than 100 people waiting to collect desperately needed food aid in northern Gaza. Hamas called it an ‘unprecedented war crime’. Here’s what we know about what happened.
The truth is a torch that shines through fog without dissipating it? Your truth is useless versus fog! (Emojis face)
Leave Canada out of this. We suck at genocide have you seen how many natives are left? A lot. Like way more then ever existed before “colonization”.

The bunker under al-Shifa Hospital was built by Israel.
It's a Hospital the Geneva convention says they are not to be attacked so they shouldn't need to shelter in the eventuality of a war , the assertion that rockets were fired from the Hospital is just that
