Food Aid To Refugees Stolen By ISIS

[From article]
And that is where the Strategy Page article gets really interesting. From it:
The UN is criticizing ISIL for marking foreign (mostly UN and mostly paid for by the U.S.) food aid as coming from ISIL. Before ISIL allows food aid to be distributed the boxes and sacks must be marked as a “gift from ISIL”. The UN also criticizes ISIL for selling some food on the market to raise cash. ISIL tells the UN to shut up and be grateful that ISIL allows the food aid in and generally does not abuse UN staff. Currently the UN food aid program feeds about four million Syrians, which is nearly a third of the population still in Syria. Nearly half of those aid recipients are either in ISIL controlled territory or the food must pass through ISIL controlled areas (in which case the food must be marked as from ISIL before allowed to pass).
On one hand the US and its allies are spending a fortune on troops and aircraft to defeat ISIL. The other hand is feeding ISIL, literally. If we stopped sending food into ISIL-controlled areas, ISIL would disappear pretty quickly. Is this too peculiar an idea? Perhaps we are so rich that we can afford to feed people whose most fervent desire is to kill us.
