Thousands of Gaza residents broke into warehouses and distribution centres of the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) grabbing flour and “basic survival items”, the organisation said on Sunday.
“This is a worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down after three weeks of war and a tight siege on Gaza,” the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said in a statement.
One of the warehouses, located in Deir al-Balah, is where UNRWA stores supplies from the humanitarian convoys crossing into Gaza from Egypt.
And yet those neighbors allow the very people that want total social collapse to build tunnels under their homes and businesses and establish bases and torture chambers in their hospitals.
Ah yes, because your average Gazan could totally stand up to the armed militia that’s in charge of every aspect of life in the strip.
Nice Spin, I must have missed the news reports of the total water, food, energy, and medical embargo the Palestinians were inflicting on the Israeli people.
Hamas destroyed their infrastructure to build rockets. Literally tore up pipes that were used to supply water to build rockets. The Palestinians are suffering as a direct result of Hamas.
Quite right, the citizens of Gaza have two oppressors right now, Hamas and the IDF… saying the children (50% of Gaza <18) deserve to starve because of guilt by association is also evil.
Collective punishment invites collective reprisals… magnifies violence. If your ever on the side of killing children your on the wrong side. Which means… there are more then two sides here.
Who the fuck said anyone deserves to starve‽ Hamas is a cancer and must be ripped from the face of the earth. They hold the entirety of the blame when they kill Westerners indiscriminately and use their own citizens as shields.
I must have misunderstood your comments… there was a very heavy implication the Gazan people deserved it. Do you support allowing humanitarian aid to be delivered to the gazan people?
Hamas is evil, to be sure, but they are a symptom not a cause. Apartheid and oppression are the root cause.
Also - Holding “Western” lives higher then Arab lives is a tiny bit racist…
Maybe Israel shouldn’t have funded it
Okay buddy I’m sure you’d have acted differently when the alternative is getting shot, and you can’t really argue that they’re worse than the israeli government treats you.
People were all too happy to give the Russian people a pass when they invaded Ukraine. It wasn’t “Russians” who were killing Ukrainians, it was “Putins Russia” that was responsible for this “Putins Invasion”. The same kind of narrative is never extended when the parties involved aren’t white.
There are a good number of logically consistent people out there who defend the Palestinians. I’ve only been seeing this number increase lately. This is happening despite the media not being logically consistent and pretty much unequivocally supporting the Zionists in Israel.
How does this argument ever make sense to you? Do you truly consider people to be one monolithic group with no dissenting opinions? The exact same comparison was made, just as now people are saying it’s the Israeli prime ministers actions, which is actually very fair given the amount of israeli citizens showing very natural disdain for the genocide.
Did you just try excuse a war crime with “it could be worse”?
