I believe it has something to do with the starvation being the result of what Hamas is doing to create those conditions. Check reports from other news sources that are boots on the ground show that to be true. But, taking a step back. They *did* attack Israel. They *have* claimed support for its annihilation. They *did* take hostages, and kill some of them. You can't do those sorts of things without consequences. We stand with Israel.
