I find this comment disturbing in so many ways. I think an example that really sums up what's wrong with it is

Israel unsurprisingly puts the safety of their soldiers above the concerns of local farmers.

"Concerns of local farmers" isn't the main issue with crop destruction. Famine and starvation are.

And the binary between being blown up by ieds and destroying fields is a false dichotomy. A better way of phrasing it would be:

Israel puts expediency above the lives of local civilians.

The UN doesn't declare famine until 30% of a population's children are displaying physical signs such as muscle wasting. This is really serious. We saw it two years ago with the deliberate famine in Ethiopia and now we're seeing it in Gaza.
