It's far more reasonable to ask Israel to allow the people of Gaza to have food. Israel, unlike Hamas, has enough for everyone.

It is, in fact, unreasonable to ask Hamas to somehow feed the entire population of Gaza. Hamas has enough for a few months for a few thousand people, Gaza is several orders of magnitude larger and they don't have enough for everyone to last more than a day or two. Then, once the food was entirely gone, Israel would roll over them with zero resistance because the fighters are starving.

Place the blame where it belongs: the genocidal settler-occupation regime.
