Desperate Palestinians rushing toward aid trucks to fetch food in central Gaza were forced to flee after Israeli troops opened fire on them amid the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in the enclave.
Footage verified by Al Jazeera shows hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza City in the central part of the besieged enclave running to get food items delivered by the United Nations in boxes on the back of trucks as bullets are fired.
“Desperate and hungry Palestinians are running out of options. Under Israeli sniper fire, they are risking their lives to reach one of the few aid trucks entering Gaza City,” said Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Rafah in southern Gaza.
Footage has also shown how Israeli gunboats have opened fire on small Palestinian boats that were trying to fish off Gaza’s coast as dozens watched from land.
Not really. They’ve always (for more than 100 years) been like this. This nonsense didn’t start now.
There’s a million valid reasons to criticize Israel without any antisemitism… but if you make a generic “jews bad” comment and specifically mention a time period that goes before ww2 it gets pretty sus
The IDF was created by merging a few pre-existent Zionist militias. The people who did the Nakba didn’t come out of thin air; they were just busy terrorizing Arabs and the British.
Also I mentioned 1917 because Israel was a settler colonialist project from the start. They didn’t just go “Oh no I accidentally ethnically cleansed Palestine”; they knew that the only way to have a Jewish state with “as many Jews and as few Palestinians as possible” (actually quoting early Zionist/Israeli leadership here) was to steal Palestinian land and kick them out, so that’s what they did.
Zionism predates WW2. It’s not a “jews bad” comment and framing it as such gets pretty sus.
