Israeli forces have once again opened fire on desperate Palestinians seeking aid from a supply convoy entering Gaza City.

It took them long enough.
At least they didn’t try to push the “stampede” line.
UN experts have condemned the violence they say was unleashed by Israeli forces last week on Palestinians gathered in Gaza City to collect flour as a “massacre”.
In a statement, a group of UN special rapporteurs accused Israel of “intentionally starving the Palestinian people in Gaza since 8 October,” adding: “Now it is targeting civilians seeking humanitarian aid and humanitarian convoys.”
“Israel must end its campaign of starvation and targeting of civilians,” said the UN experts, who warned there was mounting evidence of famine in the Gaza Strip.
At least 112 people died and 760 were injured on Thursday when desperate crowds gathered to collect flour.
Witnesses in Gaza and some of the injured said Israeli forces opened fire on the crowd, causing panic. Israel said people died in a crush or were run over by aid lorries although it admitted its troops had fired on what it called a “mob”.
“The attack came after Israel has denied humanitarian aid into Gaza City and northern Gaza for more than a month,” said the experts, who described “a pattern of Israeli attacks against Palestinian civilians seeking aid”.
Yeah, everyone gets it.
The aid drops are a trap.
That’s why Joe Biden keeps talking about sending aid. He is setting traps. (99% of the aid America talks about will never make it into Gaza anyway, because the Jews won’t allow it.)
There have been at least 14 similar reported incidents between mid-January and the end of February of the shooting, shelling and attacking of Palestinians who had gathered to receive humanitarian aid from trucks or airdrops.
Since the start of the conflict, Israel has targeted Palestinian food sources and agriculture – bakeries, orchards and greenhouses – as well as blocked humanitarian supplies. On 26 January, the international court of justice recognised the plausibility of Israel committing genocide and ordered it to allow the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian services and aid to Palestinians. The number of trucks allowed to enter the Gaza Strip has since fallen to 57 a day – compared with an average of 147 a day before the ICJ ruling.
One thing we’ve learned is that it makes zero difference what the UN says about anything.
The organization has no power and everyone in the world views it as totally political.
The UN has been condemning Israeli behavior for 80 years, and so far, the results are absolute zero.
That mother’s scream is absolutely heart shattering. I feel so hopeless.
The pain of the people of Gaza is incomprehensible 💔 pic.twitter.com/tuxWnSvULr
