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.
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?
They bombed every place israel said was safe
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.
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?
