Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road.
Late on Monday, photos began circulating on social media showing the trucks on fire.

I know these are empty words for now, but is the US position on Palestine finally changing? I couldn’t imagine even seeing this headline a few months ago.
Yes, the US is already halting offensive weapon shipments to Isreal.
Just that one shipment of bombs. Biden notified Congress he’s going to send $1 billion in arms.
This is not the exception to the rule, it is the rule. You can’t create a priviliged class society built on land theft and not have this be the result. Settlers have been doing this and worse to Palestinians for 60-70 years, I am glad that media is finally putting some critical lens on it. Brownshirt settlers do whatever they want and take whatever they want. If Palestinians show a hint of defiance or retaliation, the IDF comes in and slaughters them. Repeat the cycle ad infinitum.
Infamous Long Island, New Yorker “If I don’t steal it, someone else is gonna steal it.”
Haaretz 2017 Israeli Settlers Filmed Stealing Olive Harvest of West Bank Palestinian Farmers
Better then the recent videos of them burning Olive trees.
‘Outrage’ aside, the actions of these religious fanatics that ‘settle’ on stolen lands is not at all new or surprising. They can be described as terrorists as much as any other group.
Trump repealed 50-year-old sanctions on Israel’s ability to settle occupied Palestinian Territories. Netanyahu was so grateful, he named a town after him.

Biden restored the sanctions, making the settlements illegal again.
What the fuck did you think they were going to do, White House?
Did you not get the memo that Israel said that they were going to carry on by themselves without you? It was right in the fucking open.
Dumbasses.
