Desperate Palestinians rushing toward aid trucks to fetch food in central Gaza were forced to flee after Israeli troops opened fire on them amid the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in the enclave.

Footage verified by Al Jazeera shows hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza City in the central part of the besieged enclave running to get food items delivered by the United Nations in boxes on the back of trucks as bullets are fired.

“Desperate and hungry Palestinians are running out of options. Under Israeli sniper fire, they are risking their lives to reach one of the few aid trucks entering Gaza City,” said Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Rafah in southern Gaza.

Footage has also shown how Israeli gunboats have opened fire on small Palestinian boats that were trying to fish off Gaza’s coast as dozens watched from land.

There's a non-graphic video in the article showing the events for those curious.

The worst piece of shit of humans are Zionists.

Hamas was hiding in the flour, nothing they could do.

A hospital? Hamas.

A newspaper office? Hamas.

A pile of food and water? Believe it or not, also Hamas!

Pregnant women? Double Hamas!

Honestly, does anyone feel sorrow for the Zionists here?

Straight up genocide and mass murder for fun….you gave up the victim card and took one of the SS patches instead.

Not really. They've always (for more than 100 years) been like this. This nonsense didn't start now.

There's a million valid reasons to criticize Israel without any antisemitism... but if you make a generic "jews bad" comment and specifically mention a time period that goes before ww2 it gets pretty sus

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Zionism predates WW2. It's not a "jews bad" comment and framing it as such gets pretty sus.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The IDF was created by merging a few pre-existent Zionist militias. The people who did the Nakba didn't come out of thin air; they were just busy terrorizing Arabs and the British.

Also I mentioned 1917 because Israel was a settler colonialist project from the start. They didn't just go "Oh no I accidentally ethnically cleansed Palestine"; they knew that the only way to have a Jewish state with "as many Jews and as few Palestinians as possible" (actually quoting early Zionist/Israeli leadership here) was to steal Palestinian land and kick them out, so that's what they did.

Please don't call them Jews. They are Zionists and have nothing to do with Judaism.

Edited and noted. There are extremes to every religion I suppose, I live in Utah but would hate to be called a Mormon

How do you refer to Israelis who oppose the current regime?

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Anti Zionists most likely, but depends on why they protest their government. Some super right wingers are protesting for their government to kill more Palestinians.

Israel is secular. Though like America it operates under an extremely warped version of a religion and uses it as a mantle for its crimes.
