World Food Programme suspends staff movements in Gaza after Israeli forces fired on a vehicle near a Gaza checkpoint.
The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced a pause in the movement of its employees in the Gaza Strip “until further notice” after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric blamed Israel for the attack, telling reporters in New York that the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle was “struck 10 times” by Israeli gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.
Five of the bullets were on the driver’s side and some on the windscreen.
Dujarric said the convoy’s movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military and it had clearance to approach.
Worry not: Biden will quickly pass an executive order for an emergency shipment from the US to Israel of bullets to replace the ones those brave IDF soldiers spent defending themselves from that evil UN Humanitarian vehicle.
Wouldn't want them to be low on bullets if, God forbid, they're faced with an even more dangerous assailant such as, for example, a Palestinian 5 year old child.
And don’t forget! You HAVE to vote for his party! Otherwise MY comfort might be at stake! I don’t want to hear about Palestinian children when gas costs $4.00! 😡🇺🇸🦅🫡💣
I see it more as, “we have to vote out Hitler! We’re keeping the concentration camps, but Hitler HAS TO GO!”
I also love Kamala’s “🥺we need to save abortion🥺”, when the democrat president she is vice to is doing nothing. If Biden can’t do anything, how can you?
And if Biden can do anything, he’s withholding that action for votes? Women are fucking dying and they’re using their lives as bargaining chips. Disgusting.
The hypocrisy of the Democratic party is blatant when they run on equality and inclusion yet refuse to hear a Palestinian-american voice at the DNC, something even the speaker who's family was an Israeli hostage advocated for.
The DNC donors might not want any progressive policies, but the Democratic voters sure do. It's overdue for Harris to start standing by and following through with popular progressive policies. She had a great start with picking Walz, but ran back to the center with the Convention. Going left on Gaza and making Israel a bipartisan issue with conditional aid is popular and would give her massive support. The DNC needs to stop running away from their base and capitulating to Republican positions
