Another brazen and public demonstration of “self defense”.

FOH. Shooting starving people is probably in the top 10 most evil things modern humans are doing to each other.

Wait, yesterday I saw a link here that said “IDF guns down thousands”. Does anyone know what actually happened there?

The Israeli extermination force started firing indiscriminately at a crowd of thousands of unarmed starving people killing hundreds and wounding hundreds more.

There will be no consequences. Israel is continuing to exterminate Palestinians with approval and supplies from America.

Stop voting for political parties that send taxpayer money to Israel.

People, set a few red lines and make these a criteria for who you vote for.

Aid was supposed to be distributed to the people Israel are starving.

IDF claims people were pushing, so the obvious way to calm these people was to fire “warning shots” and the IDF fired those at cheat level.

Which caused chaos that IDF thought was a Hamas attack or something, and they opened fire at the chaos they caused.

So I think there’s translation issues. They shot at a group of thousands, and hit hundreds, others were trampled to death by people fleeing the IDF.

Because nothing says “warning shots” like aiming directly at someone

From the looks of things, the IDF laid a trap for Palestinians.

The IDF promised food aid to the people they’ve been starving for the past few months (and keeping on the brink of starvation for the past 17 years)

The crowds gathered, waiting for the food aid to trickle out, when the IDF opened fire with vehicle mounted, heavy machine guns. Over 100 people are dead, and something like 750 were wounded.

Here’s an article about it.

IDF gains nothing from killing Palestinian civilians, so this seems highly doubtful.

Um, the IDF has been killing Palestinian civilians en-mass since the start of the war. Using 2000lbs bombs in civilian areas kills civilians.

High level Israeli officials have flat out said that the end goal is 100% ethnic cleansing. An Israel completely free of Palestinians.

They’ve been slow rolling the Ethnic Cleansing for decades, but now they have an excuse to speed things up a bit. With the unwavering support of various major powers, Israel can speed run the ethnic cleansing.

Have you been ignoring the entirety of Israeli/Palestinian history? The IDF is a force for genocide. Killing Palestinians is the goal.

My understanding is a number of Palestinians gathered over the rumors of aid being delivered. The IDF got nervous seeing so many in one location and shot the crowd. Numbers from yesterday were over 100 dead and 700+ wounded.

That was wrong. There were thousands of people there yes, less than a hundred were shot.

Which is still horrible and one more part of Israel’s genocide of Palestine.

Reports are coming in with over 100 dead and 800 injured.

One hospital that treated 175 people said over 100 were shot just at their hospital, so the above is wrong.

It appears most of the dead were trampled in a panic or run over by the trucks fleeing from the IDF firing into the crowd, but more than 100 people were shot.

The last number I heard was in the 80s, so I guess it’s been revised upward since then.

104 died according to this article. Guaranteed that tons more, possibly hundreds more, sustained injuries. Don’t spread misinformation.

That’s why 42% of Palestinian women and 29.5% of Palestinian men were overweight before the war, several times the average of the region.

Then again, it’s not surprising that an “article” with ridiculous accusations attracts ridiculous comments like yours.
