The democratically-elected terrorist government of Gaza has just stolen truckloads of aid from the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Hamas policemen seized a convoy of humanitarian aid bound for the Palestinian Red Crescent on Thursday evening, the second convoy it has taken from the aid agency, aid employees said.
Policemen from Hamas halted 14 trucks filled with food and medicine at a checkpoint after it crossed an Israeli checkpoint into Gaza on Thursday, said employees of the Palestinian Red Crescent, who declined to be named, fearing reprisals from Hamas. A Hamas official said the aid was seized because the organization was distributing aid to former Fatah fighters and not to impoverished Palestinians.
Add this to the tally of criminal acts by the democratically-elected government of the Palestinians.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the ICRC to condemn Hamas. They can only condemn Israel and the U.S. I think it may be in their charter.
Fixed.

This is why Israel ought to arrange food delivery to Gaza by ballistic missle.
