This feels like it’s meant to be a joke, but it’s not.
Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says the provision of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza endangers Israeli soldiers and must stop after more than 100 Palestinians were reported killed while trying to get aid in Gaza City.
“Today it was proven that the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza is not only madness while our hostages are held in the Strip … but also endangers IDF soldiers,” Ben-Gvir said, calling the deliveries “oxygen to Hamas”.
The incident is “another clear reason why we must stop transferring this aid”, he wrote on X.
Ben-Gvir also said Israel must “provide complete support to our heroic fighters operating in Gaza, who acted excellently against a Gazan mob that tried to harm them”.
It is crazy to starve people to procced calling them barbars for being desperate. But here they (the fasicst government) are, using this exact argument to justify a massacre.
Remember the beginning of Black Hawk Down when the warlord’s men machine gun the people trying to get bags of grain? And the Black Hawk crew couldn’t engage?
Yeah, it’s like that, except we’re paying the warlord’s army this time.
We told you you shouldn’t use those bullets on civilians. Here, have some more. But this time no civilian casualties, ok? You’ve done it again, haven’t you? Here, have some bombs.
I’m not sure we even bother to suggest they don’t use them on civilians.
Publicy they do suggest it, then deny it has been done, then “utter concern”, then suggest it again. Meanwhile sending all the weapons they can.

I had to check. Really.
Fuck fascism, fuck the monstrous IDF, fuck Netanyahu.
Its so messed up
Why yes, because over 100
IDFIOF soldiers were massacred, right?.. Right?soldiers feels
Top quality editorial here…
Editorial of what? There’s no cite or anything. To me this is just some image somebody made and not reputable.
It’s been on the news all day dude. At some point you have to actually pay attention.
Feels ?
I posted this on Not the Onion https://lemmy.world/post/12579738
Source? There’s no chance this is real.
It’s real. They opened fire on a crowd of civilians trying to get food aid from an aid truck.
I really want to believe that poster meant that there’s no way the headline in the image is real, but…
Found the article by middle east eye but the article is vague, and apparently they quote from Israel but taken it out of context. Very typical of MEE. But the truth isn’t too far off.
Here’s the quote in question from CNN:
Israel confirmed its forces fired on people, saying crowds had threatened their troops
Here’s another one from CNN, detailing the event.
Post like this basically give the election to trump. Stop the madness.
Edit: Jesus fuck! Do I really need to write /s on this sub? A point of clarity for those who doubt. Biden has failed to use his political power to stop a heinous act. We can’t always stop horrors everywhere, but here we can actively do something. Frankly, we should be delivering aid directly under the guidance on UNRA.
Ceasefire now. Free Palestine.
I almost feel like a dummy for falling for this cx I wouldn’t have a few months ago, but lately I’ve seen a lot of liberals share this sentiment genuinely. The idea that any criticism of biden or things he supports is russian or chinese propaganda trying to get trump elected. It seems to have calmed down recently, but a few weeks ago I saw someone saying pro palestinian protestors were russian spies who should be shot
What gives the election to trump is biden’s inability to not support genocide. Trying to get people to be quiet about it only makes me wanna vote for him even less than I already do, since he’s clearly the pro-genocide candidate
If you think the US stance torwards Israel would change just one bit under Trump, you are very mistaken.
He won’t be better. But as a non american I can understand why someone would feel voting a genocide enabler is just impossible. Here in Germany it is a somewhat comparable situation (but at least I can give my vote for a minority party, that might actually get into parliament).
Remember when Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel? People are kill-informed if they think things get better for the Palestinians under Trump 2.0.
If hamas would just put their arms down this could have an instant end. The same as if putin would retreat his army.
Check your votes… No one is buying this… We all see what is happening. But you are a bot so not sure why I’m replying to you.
Israel is a genocide state.
I heard this a lot. The reality is, if hamas surrender now, they will still be out there looking for hamas, because no one know how many hamas is out there, who is the hamas, or when will hamas strike.
You might be right, but to some degree that also means that hamas brought this over their own people.
The nazis in Germany for example did the same, and whole citys where bombed by the allies. So would you blame the nazis or the allies for this? I think there where a lot of war crimes on both sides back then, nevertheless it started because of the cruelties of Hitlerers entourage. And the German people did not fight this régime which made them accomplices at least according to historians.
This does not mean that I support how the IDF operates. The hole thing that got us in this situation this time is because the hamas attacked civilians in an monstrously way and did this over years with their missiles as far as I can tell. So I would blame them at first also the palestinians should have fought hamas their selfs.
But maybe I am wrong, so I am listening.

You know, i don’t really wanna engage with these “they brought it upon themselves” argument, because it’s really just gonna spiral down into endless back and forth where the origin is only remotely resemble the issue today. To say palestinian deserve what they get because of Hamas is like saying Israeli deserve what they get because of Netanyahu.
I never said anything about deserving. Thats a clear staw man argument. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man And I explicitly isolated the situation, exactly to avoid spiraling. Also I blamed the hamas and not the people.
This whole shit has to end some day.

Ah, yes, and Israel will just continue their occupation and genocide of Gaza indefinitely. There’s a reason Hamas exists you moron.
Thanks that helped the discussion. And changed my view.
Why so serious citizen?
