The UN and NGOs refuse to allow plan to bring food into Gaza. They are so principled!

The Washington Post reports:

 Israel is planning to take control of — and severely restrict — the distribution of humanitarian aid inside the Gaza Strip, using private American security contractors, as a condition for lifting its two-month blockade of supplies into the enclave, according to current and former Israeli officials, aid workers and other individuals with knowledge of the plan.

Details are expected to be finalized at a meeting of Israel’s security cabinet Sunday. The plan has support from Israel’s government and security establishment, and is expected to be put into motion before the end of the month, possibly as soon as President Donald Trump’s visit to the region in mid-May.

But the plan has been roundly rejected by the United Nations and dozens of international aid organizations, who say it runs counter to humanitarian principles, is logistically unworkable and could put Palestinian civilians and staffers in harm’s way.

So they scream to the world about no aid entering Gaza, but rejecting aid when they don't like the strings attached to avoid helping a sadistic terrorist group. 

Here are the supposed reasons against it:

Several people warned that the gap between the supplies available and the actual need would lead to violence around the hubs.  

That's happening already around warehouses.

Rights groups and governments around the world, including some of Israel’s closest European allies, have argued that Israel, as an occupying power, has an obligation under international law to facilitate the unhindered passage of aid into Gaza.

Even if you accept the falsehood that Israel occupies Gaza, what rule says the aid must be "unhindered"? That is simply a lie. There are always limits to how aid it brought in and distributed, everywhere in the world.

Many humanitarian organizations have rules that require them to deliver aid impartially, wherever it is needed and without involving armed actors on either side.

Did they not see the videos of Hamas gunmen riding on top of the aid trucks last year?

Dozens of aid organizations working in Gaza, meanwhile, have coalesced around a united refusal to participate in the proposal. About 20 outlined their concerns in a briefing paper to Western governments, including that it would violate international law. If the U.N. or third states assist in its implementation, they warned they could open themselves up to liability in war crimes.

It is s strange world where refusing to bring in aid is principled and facilitating aid makes one complicit in war crimes.

The entire episode proves the utter immorality of these NGOs.

Or, as I tweeted earlier:

None of this makes any sense - until you realize  that hating Israel is more important for these NGOs and the UN than helping Gazans. 

If the plan helps Israel and hurts Hamas, they are against it.

And then they complain that Israel is not cooperating with them.
