> are you claiming the British soldiers should have been risking their lives delivering food to the doorstep of the Germans

They did take precisely that risk to keep the civilian population of Europe from starving.

> One of the key agreements was that certain corridors would be “open,” allowing Allied airmen to fly through, with the promise from the Germans that they would not be fired upon by AAA. This promise, and the fact that the planes would be flying at 400 feet or below (for the safety of the parcels) certainly gave much for the crewmen to be worried about.

> Israel got the food to the ruling government in Gaza.

Israel is killing every representative of that ruling government they can find in Gaza. (Which is good, but presents a severe logistical challenge for your claim.)

> do you genuinely believe that this can be agreed upon with hamas

The Nazis weren't exactly notoriously friendly folks.

> that they will somehow spare those particular Jews that bring food to keep their human shields alive?

Perhaps this basic misconception explains a lot... Israelis aren't driving the aid trucks into/through Gaza. That's handled by NGOs; the UN, World Central Kitchen (when they're not being blown up by Israeli strikes, at least; https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/how-an-aid-convoy-in-gaza...), etc. Israel screens the trucks (slowly, if they feel like it) and sends them through.

> anyway your example shows the allies helping the allies

They did the same for occupied Germany, once it was occupied. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_in_occupied_Germany

By that logic, the US never occupied Iraq and Afghanistan.

Charity workers and UN staff workers were killed by Israel, not by Hamas
