But this also blocks supplies for the hostages doesn’t it?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Demonstrators, including families of hostages still held in Gaza, waved Israeli flags at a key crossing and chanted against "aiding the enemy".
For a third consecutive day, the protesters descended on the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Israel and Gaza to try to block humanitarian aid from entering the enclave.
The demonstration took place amid unconfirmed reports that Israeli and American officials will hold "critical" hostage talks with Qatari and Egyptian mediators in Europe in the coming days.
The reports suggest that the director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, and the Mossad chief, David Barnea, will meet Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, to discuss the release of more than 100 Israeli hostages and a pause in fighting in Gaza.
The White House has described the talks as "sober" and "serious" efforts, involving players who were key to sealing a previous agreement in November.
Israel launched its military campaign with the declared aim of destroying Hamas after its gunmen killed 1,300 people - mostly civilians - and took about 250 others hostage, in the unprecedented attack on southern Israeli communities on 7 October last year.

Imagine taking three days out of your life to make sure a group of people under siege and already bombed into oblivion can't get basic humanitarian supplies. Think about how big of a piece of shit you would have to be. These people deserve nothing but contempt.
Didn't the ICJ ruling say Israel had to ensure aid comes in? So the IDF should take away these protesters, right? Right?
That's just how cozy people living in Israel are.
No the ICJ ruling didn't impose any direct action nor forced them to let in aid.
They ICJ in favor for israel to continue their genocide while trying to save face with empty words.
I mean, the ICJ can't exactly enforce a ceasefire - it's a "you and what army" situation.
The point of these protests is that the aid is just as if not more likely to benefit terrorists and enable them to hold out for longer than it is to reach civilians, which in turn makes it possible for these terrorists to continue their holding of hostages. There is ample evidence of Hamas stealing aid from the people who need it, including by force.
Also, stopping these protesters from blocking the crossing would be the task of the police, not the military, but I suspect that you know that and were just looking for cheap polemics.
But what about this?
Do we just let it continue?
When your in a warzone, the police no longer have jurisdiction and handling of the civilian populace DOES fall under the army. The aid trucks should be militarily escorted and those protesters should be forcibly moved. Blockading humanitarian aid is an international crime if your a civilian doing that you should be arrested and charged as a criminal.
Hamas tactic is to keep the Palestinians poor, this is not an issue of Hamas Gaza's governor.

I don't agree with their action.
However you can't judge them because most likely, these people's relatives or close-ones were either murdered, raped or kidnapped during this war.
I can. I judge every single person in history and now who has intentionally starved another human being. Fuck them all
We can and we do judge them.
If we can judge Hamas members who have probably lost family and dignity in the most terrible of ways on the hands of Israel, then we can also find it in our hearts to judge those people.
