Food and water can still get in via the Egyptian border, supply lines are still open. This isn’t a mediaeval siege, if starvation were the goal no border crossings would be allowed.
Funny how in this conflict one side is expected to adhere to international law while the other side totally ignores it, intentionally attacks civilians, takes hostages, launches missiles indiscriminately at civilian centers, etc., If Israel adopted the tactics Palestine is willing to employ there would be no Palestine.
I would guess that Palestinian civilian death counts are significantly higher, as most of the fighting has been done within occupied Palestinian territories, civilian uprisings happen against the IDF often there, Israel can bomb targets in Palestine freely causing collateral damage while they are protected by the Iron Dome, Hamas and other such groups are fighting a guerilla war by hiding among civilians, and you wouldn’t have brought it up were it not a huge ratio. 9:1?
With all the civilians they intentionally murdered the ratio is certainly moving in their favor now.
The only reason why I mentioned is of what seemed to be a disconnect from reality. Either that, or I just misunderstood.

“if Israel adopted the tactics Palestine is willing to employ, there would be no Palestine”. How to you reconcile that kind of statement, when the ratio of dead children is 20:1?
“the other side totally ignores it, intentionally attacks civilians, takes hostages, launches missiles indiscriminately at civilian centers”
This here perfectly describes what Israel has been doing for 50 years, at a 20:1 ratio. So… if you were suggesting that this was what Palestine [sic] is to blame for… Is it?
Yeah Israel is expected to obey international law because it gets $3.8 billion a year in funding from the US to support their military. If Israel refuses to follow international law then the US is effectively giving that money to terrorists.

If you were to take a guess at the ratio of Palestine civilians to Israeli civilians that have been killed in the last 50 years. What would it be?

An eye for an eye, leaving the world blind.
