The situation in Gaza is driven by extreme Islam, where even under war, terror, and poverty, the societal pressure pushes women to bear more children than they can realistically provide for a pattern seen only where women are forced, because no society voluntarily grows families under constant war.
Add to this the high levels of rioting, theft, and corruption. Humanitarian aid is often stolen, destroyed, or hoarded by local powers and gangs, meaning Israel has no choice but to control aid distribution to ensure it reaches the civilians who truly need it.
Let’s also face another uncomfortable fact. Arab nations and Hamas deliberately keep Gaza artificially trapped, none of them genuinely help the population. Only Israel remains engaged while extreme Islam’s strategy is simply to drag the war out for political and ideological gain, Israel is seeking a faster, stronger resolution.
As partners, the international community must stand with Israel, not blindly or emotionally, but rationally and firmly helping them solve this crisis, while jointly safeguarding civilian lives and ensuring that real aid reaches real families.
