Israeli protesters have tried to block border crossings, or even attacked aid convoys bound for Gaza.
Months after some Israelis started to protest against aid lorries entering Gaza at the main Kerem Shalom crossing, the battle has moved to other key junctions, where rival groups of activists do their best to block or protect aid convoys.
Right-wing activists, including Jewish settlers living in the occupied West Bank, have uploaded dozens of videos of crowds, including some very young children, hurling food onto the ground and stamping on boxes of aid.
In one video, a group of jubilant protesters dance and celebrate on top of a looted lorry.
In another, one of the stranded lorries is ablaze.
In the West Bank, at least two drivers who were not carrying goods bound for Gaza were dragged from their cabs and beaten.
Other videos show Israeli vigilantes stopping lorries in Jerusalem and demanding that drivers show papers proving they are not transporting aid to Gaza. Their faces are uncovered and they appear to be acting with complete impunity.
This is a direct result of a fascist (Ben Gvir) being the minister of "national security". This guy wasn't allowed to serve in the IDF due to his involvment with groups designated by the Israeli government as terrorists.
Bibi literally allied with fucking terrorists to stay in power.
Ben Gvir was known to have a portrait in his living room of Baruch Goldstein, a Jewish extremist and Israeli-American mass murderer who massacred 29 Palestinian Muslim worshipers and wounded 125 others in the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs massacre in Hebron.
In December 2021, Ben-Gvir was investigated after a video surfaced of him pulling a handgun on Arab security guards during a parking dispute in the underground garage of the Expo Tel Aviv conference center. The guards asked Ben-Gvir to move his vehicle as he was parked in a prohibited space. He then drew a pistol and brandished it at the guards.
In early October 2023, following the arrest of 5 ultra-Orthodox Heredi Jews for spitting at Christians and outside churches, Ben-Gvir said it was "not a criminal case" following arrests.[60] Prior to entering politics, he defended Jews spitting at Christians as "an ancient Jewish custom".
“My right, my wife's, my children's, to roam the roads of Judea and Samaria are more important than the right of movement of the Arabs," said Mr Ben Gvir, using a biblical term for the West Bank.
He then addressed Mohammad Magadli, an Arab Israeli journalist in the studio, saying: "Sorry Mohammad, but this is the reality, that's the truth. My right for life comes before their right to movement."
BBC. He has a number of repugnant views. There won’t be peace until BB’s cabinet is out of power.
Terrorists call ahead and tell civilians to get out of the way?
Maybe if even a few of the civilians could point out the Hamas members, say where the tunnels are, and we could have this all wrapped up by about Thursday of next week. No, inconcievable!
How is such prideful "martyrdom" not a wilful choice?
Nah, not really. Common misconception. They didn't say go south and you will be safe in the first stage of the war. They said go south, and also don't go near anybody who's in Hamas or near any of the tunnels. If you went South, and you stood on top of a tunnel, or stood in the room with your buddies in Hamas, well then explosions happened.
You posed a hypothetical. I posed an answer. I'm not going to respond to a strawman like this other than to point out that it's a strawman. This conflict didn't start yesterday. It's like saying the Apache attacks started before Indian Removal. Doesn't change the fact that it's genocide.
I mean if the terrorists destroy the cell networks used to deliver that warning and deprive the area of fuel so the old and sick can't move in time and often give wrong or confusing evacuation instructions, then yes, terrorists would do exactly that.
I mean they are letting fuel in and the cell networks do work. The area is 25 miles wide. Three new diesel power desolinizations plants open this year in Gaza. Maybe you got tricked?
Wild to mention the desalination where there is an acute lack of potable water in Gaza right now. And why the hell are the diesel powered in the first place, does it have to do with the lack of un-bombed power plants?
