Citing UN sources, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs says that the "wholly inadequate humanitarian access over the last 4 months" means that the population faces acute food insecurity, with a serious risk of famine developing. "This is unconscionable," the statement says.

"Freezing or withdrawing funding to UNRWA further exacerbates these risks - States which have done so must urgently rescind this decision and resume funding."

Context:

Israel is killing civilians, including children, while attempting to eradicate Hamas
Calls for a ceasefire happen so Israel stops killing innocents
"muh ceasefire don't work, you need to eradicate Hamas first"

Now tell me, where in that comment chain do you, explicitly, state that no civilians should be killed in the attempt to remove Hamas from Gaza?

You cannot remove Hamas by means of force without at the same time killing an incredibly large number of innocent civilians. You demanding Hamas has to be eradicated first is, implicitly, stating that you are A-OK with Israel slaughtering innocents in the process.

As you say they are a terrorist organization, they use human shields. You cannot state your argument in some fantasy reality where Hamas and the IDF suddenly play by the rules of engagement.
