    The IDF position is that people died because of a stampede.

    Okay, fine.

    What caused the stampede?

    According to the IDF: the crowd started looting trucks that had arrived in the area with aid.

    I love how the IDF conveniently ignores that people are starving because Israel is preventing aid trucks from getting in. Starving people will 1000% swarm a truck with food when it arrives. We have seen it happen in practically every recent famine. Hell, we even saw Jews (the ones who could still move) swarm allied troops when they liberated Nazi concentration camps.

    Dehumanizing the Palestinians even more isn’t going to work.

      You missed a step. The stampede was caused by the IDF shooting the Palestinians (because of alleged looting).

        Oh yeah, not sure why you’re being downvoted, but the IDF said that too: they fired to disperse the crowds and prevent looting.

      Twitter is full of pictures of piles of Palestinians with bullet wounds. Didn’t know they trampled themselves into a bullet.
