snooggumsThe Israeli military, at war with Hamas-led Palestinian militants in Gaza since October 2023, acknowledged firing in the area and said it was looking into the incident.
I'm sure there will be victim blaming followed by high fives and back slaps all around.
Because GHF aid sites are designed as traps to kill Palestinians. There is nothing humanitarian about GHF.
What is GHF? (Sorry for my ignorance).
geneva_convenienceIsraeli-American funded and ran 'aid' organisation which lures Palestinians from north to south Gaza if they want to get food GHF exists to ethnically cleanse the north of Gaza because other aid organisations distributed accross all of Gaza.
GHF also has Israeli soldiers on tank machinegun position, spraying bullets into the crowd at food collection because they think that is funny.
lnxtx (xe/xem/xyr)It feels like every day they are getting more and more evil and cynical, without giving even their usual lies of suspicious or threatening people.
Btw I have an 404 error on the page but I also see the new on antiwar.com quoting Reuters.

This is so fucking disgusting.
What Hamas did was awful, but literally killing humans like you’re shouting fish in a barrel is fucking disgusting and needs to stop.
I have nothing against the Jewish people or community but I am wholly against the actions by Israel in how they’ve conducted this war. This should be an open and shut case where everyone involved is immediately recalled and court marshalled.
I agree with your sentiment but this isn't a war. Gazans are prisoners with no access to the outside world, I won't condemn any of them for trying to fight their oppressors. No context needed for the "start" of the conflict, Israel have been genociders for 70+ years.
It's been almost two years and hundreds of thousands dead, do we really still need to preface condemnation of this holocaust with these disclaimers.
And this isn't a war, it's an extermination campaign. They're no more going to 'recall and court marshal' them than the Nazi's would court marshal Einsatzgruppen members for shooting Jews.
Sadly yes you do
Some people are really trying to make any criticism of Israel a criticism of all jews or calling it hate, and that take is not the case.
Honestly, I don't care. Fuck those people and fuck Israel.
Guess what. They're going to call it antisemitism regardless of what you prefice your criticism with.
There shouldn't be any war. Israel should have realized long ago that the solution is ending the occupation
It is almost like they have set up a trap for hungry people to be murdered.
EVery.Fucking.Day.

Nazi Israel needs to be fully dismantled.
