Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on October 7 killed at least 1,400 people and the group took more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. In the wake of the assault, Israel launched an aerial bombardment of Gaza that Palestinian health officials say has killed more than 5,000 people. Israel also announced a “complete siege” on the enclave, withholding vital supplies of water, food and fuel.

I'm guessing you mean Hamas' military branch? Because it's the Hamas Government that is running out of fuel, plus all the UNRWA schools and NGO hospitals.

So even if Hamas' military has fuel, It's not enough for 2 million people, so it doesn't matter.

This siege is preventing basic goods from entering to innocent civilians. Trying to get people to look away is really lame.

Just like people don’t say that rebel israeli soldiers acting illegally committed whatever atrocities and just say it was israel (or even worse the jewish people) i do not make the distinction between the terrorists sub divisions.

No but for real, New Zealand does, same with the UN. Do you think you're better than New Zealand and the UN?

New Zealand funds terrorism because of it.

Not according to the US, do you have any sources to back your claim?

rebel soldiers? no, the Israeli government gives medals for killing children, I have no clue where you got the rebel soldier bit from.

So in competent governments, the Civilian government controls the military. So how much fuel is Hamas hoarding.

Honestly, if I were Hamas now and the next step was trying to fight off an Israeli invasion of the Gaza strip (where they will enter to do Deir Yassin just x100), then hanging on to the little fuel I have would actually save more lives on the long run /:

(where they will enter to do Deir Yassin just x100)

It's 2023, they can do Deir Yassin x100 without an invasion. A 48 hour traditional artillery barrage; similar to what Russia has done to cities in Eastern Ukraine would do it.
