Israel blames the United Nations agencies responsible for collecting this aid and distributing it inside Gaza, saying they need to urgently step up aid deliveries.
Of course they do, it couldn’t possibly be because the IDF is a rabid dog off the leash that kills anything that moves, including (or rather, especially) aid orgs and journalists.
Just a reminder that Israel has targeted food aid multiple times this year.
If the food is piling up, it’s because Israel has killed them people who could distribute it and will shoot anyone who tries to.
End terrorism, end Israel.
You clearly didn’t read the article.
Israel needs that aid to be distributed. Otherwise Gazans starve and the war has to end before the hostages are returned or Hamas is killed off. The masked men attacking aid trucks are terrorist sympathizers who are trying to starve Gazans.
No.
Israel wants to kill every Palestinian. They don’t give a fuck about Hamas beyond being another thing to blame for their own wrongdoings.
“Oh it was the Hummus tunnels that made me strap a baby to my jeep as an human shield and shoot an elderly lady to steal her house!”
So your solution is just to destroy Israel?
No the solution will take a long time to fix and undo the damages done to Palestine.
Removing Israel is the start of that process. You can’t begin to rebuild the house while it’s still on fire.
How exactly do you propose to “remove Israel”?
You clearly didn’t read the article.
Ehhh… No… you clearly did not read the article.
I read the entire thing, twice, and ctrl f’d for ‘mask’.
There is 0 mention of these ‘masked men’ you speak of.
There are mentions of Israeli airstrikes hitting aid convoys, Israel attacking the Palestinian Police that would otherwise be responsible for security on these convoys, and Israel throwing up as much red tape and as many delays as possible to stall and block aid from moving.
There was the Flour Massacre not too long ago, an aid convoy which was surrounded by starving Palestinians, whom the Israelis just began shooting.
Also, as far as the hostages go, it seems clear now that the Hannibal Doctrine has been and is still in effect: If a hostage is too difficult to rescue, Israel just kills them!
I struggle to see another explanation for a hostage rescue operation that involves a massive airstrike or fucking tank shooting its main cannon at close range into where hostages are suspected to be.
I am not going to go as far as the person you are responding to here and say ‘end Israel’ but uh yeah Israel is going completely fucking bonkers and regularly doing shit that would have gotten US forces in Iraq court martialled.
They are acting like genocidal maniacs and it is disgusting that the US has folded on every single ‘red line’.
“He saw groups of men with sticks waiting for trucks to leave the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza. All trucks he passed were badly damaged, with broken windshields, mirrors and hoods.”
My personal bias filled in the masks. I guess I was holding out hope that they had some fear of consequence left.
Your astroturfing reads so strongly like sarcasm I almost upvoted.
I honestly thought “There’s no way anyone, paid or brainwashed, would post such a thing and mean it”.
Here’s why it’s not reaching those in need
They could have used those 41 characters to mention, in short, why it’s not reaching those in need, instead of clickbaiting.
I feel two ways about click bait and am open to having my mind changed.
- Frustrating the info isn’t readily available because news should be free for the people, easy to access, and factual.
- Good journalism should be supported and takes effort, time, and money.
TL;DR. Airstrikes, right? It’s gonna be airstrikes.
It’s fitting with the whole “war-crime checklist” theme of this entire belligerent invasion of their own terrarium.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
They park on the Israeli side and forklift drivers jump into action, loading huge sacks of flour, along with boxes of watermelons, mangoes, tomatoes and onions.
But here’s the catch: Much of this humanitarian aid is piling up on the Gaza side of the border instead of traveling the last few miles to those suffering in the 10th month of the war between Israel and Hamas.
“Mr. Hadi witnessed the consequences of the breakdown in public order and safety as he entered and exited the Kerem Shalom crossing,” the U.N. relief agency said in a statement.
Hadi also visited the nearby city of Khan Younis, described as being “largely reduced to sand and rubble, without a single structure left untouched.”
Israel counters by saying that for the past month it has paused military operations along a 7-mile corridor during daylight hours to allow aid to move from the Kerem Shalom crossing to areas where Palestinians are concentrated in large numbers.
Independent experts say Gaza is at risk of famine and the entire population is struggling without enough food as families report going two and three days on a single meal.
The original article contains 1,245 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 85%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
they irony that we use bots to reduce the fluff from articles written and fluffed by other bots… what a time to be alive.
This is hardly a new problem. When you send aid to a place and then depend on the government that’s causing the problems that necessitate the aid to distribute it, it tends to go either to said government or nowhere at all. Every fucking time.
