Protesters block convoy, throw food into road and set fire to vehicles at Tarqumiya checkpoint near Hebron
The White House has condemned an attack on an aid convoy heading to Gaza by Israeli settlers who threw packages of food into the road and set fire to the vehicles.
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.
It's taken them over half a year, but Biden has finally discovered that Israel is committing crimes against humanity. Let's hope they don't forget about it the second Netanyahu pretends to be a little bit obedient.
They are already doing that. half a million people had to flee from Rafah and the US and its allies are arguing "well it is not a large scale offensive" What would you call it, if Canada invaded Maine and half a million people had to flee? That is the proportions of what they deny to call "large scale" to justify toeing around it.
Sullivan said that the Israeli state had hindered aid deliveries in the recent past but had improved the flow sufficiently, so as not to be subject to restrictions on military aid that might have been required under US law.
So they've found that sweet spot, have they? Just enough aid 'let through' to pacify the Americans, and nowhere near enough to help the Palestinians.
Yeah, this appears to be true. Jesus Christ, what the fuck is wrong with this country? Everyone who voted for Biden in the PRIMARY (when he ran against Bernie) should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
We have two presidents running for office right now that openly support directly aiding a mass genocide. Trump will be far worse, too... Worse for Palestine, worse for the US, and worse for the world.
For this reason, we can't do anything about any of this in the polling booth in November. Protesting and publicly dissenting is the only path forward, so far as I can tell... I'm open to new ideas, though.
It's gonna take US military to protect any aid to Palestineans. The bloodlust by Zionist settlers will be unquenchable until they're made to drink their own.
Well I don't know what to say anymore. We now have a major newspaper reporting that we cannot stop illegal weapons shipments that are not supported by the majority of country because... Democratic donors are unhappy he's even holding the 2,000 pound bombs back.
There is one thing, but you guys won't like it. You never do. We already live in an Oligarchy, not a Democracy. Your vote is an illusion. The parties aren't the same but they are united in backing the Oligarchy over you.
Also Israel knew this would happen once the only routes for aid required driving from the Egyptian border to the north tip of Gaza. To a border crossing that's fucking tiny and across the entire combat zone from all the previous aid infrastructure. This is both the intended result and them laughing at the world while they claim they tried to let aid in.
Two countries at war, both of which commit war crimes against humanity. This can only be stopped diplomatically or when one side stops existing. Just another waste of human lives and resources. People are stupid.
They ain’t a war. A war implies that it’s somewhat balanced. Israel don’t want a diplomatic solution.
Hamas offered a deal to return all hostages but Israel said no as they would still be in power. So they just want to keep murdering people to make sure Hamas has recruits for decades to come.
Very low. It's basically the hobby of a single conservative Zionist (assisted by some volunteer and paid freelancers, though there's no public transparency about who does what and when) pretending to be a reputable arbiter of truth and bias.
Source credibility systems are just outsourcing trust to a third party.
Its a ministry of truth on top of an already fucked media landscape, i dont get why people even recognize this as a real valid concept at all.
