Because they don’t really believe that these people are terrorists. They know that if they actively starved Gaza, the people there would fight back hard to save their lives and the world would be so appalled that they would actively try to prevent the starvation. Mass starvation in Gaza would have other nations in the middle east actively step in to provide aid, actually useful aid, that would benefit the Palestinians, not the crumbs they are given. With actually useful aid, they could mount a much more solid defence against Israeli aggression. So this used as a means of slowing down the slaughter of the Palestinians, making it run in slow motion, the “frog in a pot of boiling water” thing, rather than it just being quick and having actually useful humanitarian aid arrive there.

I already told you, it’s empty virtue signaling. Plausible deniability to hide their complicity. When accused of genocide by starvation they can point to the crumbs. Nobody pays attention to the amount given, so they can just hide behind the fact that they give something to claim that they are actually trying to help. They also don’t give it to the people they call “terrorists” but to those they claim are not associated with the “terrorists”, which is a way of pitting the people against the resistance.

You need to learn to see through these ploys. This is the exact same kind of thing that USAID does, giving token amounts of real aid in order to mask their true purpose and the fact that the harm they do is a thousand times more than any “help” they provide.
