If there was any indication that Israelis were the ones shooting at food trucks that would be the entire focus of the article and you'd hear about it for months. Because it's Hamas shooting at their own citizens the journalist mention gunfire once and never offers any more information.
Can you explain to us exactly why this food aid is needed in the first place and who is responsible please?
The current flare up started because Hamas launched a vicious attack on October 7th. Everything recent stems from that.
I see, so Israel has zero culpability. Not even for the 10,000 children that were killed. They were in Hamas, right? Even the babies.
There's a whole lot of people who have gone full mask off in their belief that Palestinians aren't human, and it's fucking disgusting.
You're right. It absolutely is. And this is not the first person I've talked to who implies that murdering thousands of children is justified.
I'm not even sure people fully grasp that "look what you made me do" is the epitome of abuse, let alone the power imbalance it requires.
Plenty of people certainly don't grasp it since they use that excuse in their own lives too.
"I was wrong" is something they cannot possibly say.
Israel is wilfully orchestrating the distress and chaos you're referencing
Without provocation?
Things didn't start out of nowhere on October 7th 2023 - if that's what you're implying
When did they start?

That's an answer for sure. Seems to be ignoring most of the history of the area, but I guess we do need to start somewhere.
You realize you're justifying tens of thousands of deaths, right?
What a crock of horse shit.
Are you saying the BBC is biased in favor of Hamas?
If you think Hamas could show themselves and shoot at anything in Israeli-occupied Gaza I have a bridge to sell you.
Edit: You clown what's going is that because Israel keeps targeting Gazan police who should be protecting the aid from looting while it's being distributed, the aid is being looted. The aid is being halted because of looting, and Israel keeps shooting the people who should be stopping that.
Does Gaza have police?
Since it's an occupied territory, Israel is supposed to be providing security under international law. But of course that would get in the way of the genocide.
Yeah. In normal circumstances anyway.
Israeli soldiers are getting killed all the time by Hamas in northern Gaza. It's a war, I'm not sure what you're on about.
Yes, it's a war. If Hamas appears Israel shoots them. This includes if they appear to guard aid from looters. Therefore there's nobody to guard aid from looters.
Edit: What I wanna say is: Israel refuses to provide security for Gazans (instead preferring to kidnap and torture them) but doesn't allow to provide it for themselves either.
Man that edit sure sounds like Israel is
Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
in an area it is occupying.
