>Why is everything Israel’s responsibility? Israel is perpetuating the status quo, and wishes to exercise sovereignty pver the territory. Doing things like disallowing other countries relief orgs to operate on the own. Given that, the UN is more than justified puting the onus on Israel. >They’re fighting a war of self defense against terrorists who use the citizenry as human shields. Given those circumstances, I feel like they’ve done far more to avoid casualties and help the civilians than any other government/military would. Fair enough. That is not a universally held view. >What’s the UN’s responsibility in providing those conditions? What are the complaining countries doing to bring aid to Gazans or a viable ceasefire deal with release of all hostages? Are you suggesting that the U.N. should unilaterally dismiss the sovereignty of a member state, and coordinate things themselves using the resources of other member states? As much as the prospect of an international intervention to the level of being the grandest and most expensive breaking up of a schoolyard brawl that would upset everyone involved in living memory; I'm fairly sure no one really wants to uncork that bottle of Pandora's distilled champagne. >Many UN members like Egypt, Jordan, South Africa are all doing nothing to help but instead just complaining about Israel. This is not a surprise. Israel is not very popular. >Do they even care about the Gazan residents or is this just a political opportunity for them? Sovereign. States. They can provide support, but they have to rely on the State undergoing internal strife to distribute things. Their experience dealing with Israel likely dissuades them from even making the effort. >The article seems very vague - what specifically would cause the pier to fail? If distribution is a problem then isn’t it an existing problem that UNRWA has allegedly been handling this whole time? It’s hard to trust UNRWA and their claimed reasons. Some of their staff allegedly has ties to Hamas (which US intelligence confirmed), their buildings (like schools) have housed Hamas fighters, and aid funneled through them has ended up in Hamas’s hands. Couldn't have anything to do with intentional bureaucratic delays, wholesale dismantling of normal infrastructure by the Israelis in their attempt to fight back against Hamas (an org Bibi is interested in keeping in power to keep himself in power). Logistics is hard. Even when you aren't pointedly not trying to hard.
