Israel is anything but careful about their public image. I just mentioned the posturing from the Israeli government, which is the opposite of that. This doesn't make any sense. What you are alleging is that they are doing what, the starvation carefully, so that nobody notices it's deliberate? Do you have any idea how massive of a conspiracy would be necessary for this, in a country where government leaks are a regular occurrence? Do you really think the 85% of Israelis who want Netanyahu gone as soon as possible, the same ones who have been protesting Netanyahu for months, even before the war, would put up with this?
They announced their intention and are basically doing it, but after diplomatic pressure allowed some aid in. It's not "careful so nobody notices" but "obvious to most but with some flimsy diplomatic cover."
It's not an allegation of a conspiracy, just that they're doing what they claimed. But yes they seem to have successfully confused a lot of people by superficially "allowing" aid to enter.
How do you explain the current mass starvation people in Gaza are experiencing?
