  Luckily our government unconditionally sends billions to Israel every year (war or no war) so they aren't burdened by such moral standards.

  No they haven’t.

  This isn't worthy of a flame war, but we'll just note what you're telegraphing to us here: Namely your view that the basic situation with the current blockade of food and humanitarian supplies into Gaza is a matter of people being deprived of "nice things", as you say. Either that, or that the people concerned about the blockade (and the bombings, and you know, those awful trenches full of bodies and stuff) are just whiny that they can't have "nice things" -- like a world without blatant genocides happening in the open for all to watch, with the support of major Western governments.

    It turned into a flame war. Also settle down, donating to people in need is a nice thing, it’s not that complicated.
