This is like Mars Attacks when they're walking around with the translator saying "we come in peace" while blasting the shit out of every human they find.

Do not run, we are your friends!

Since February 9, the average number of trucks that entered Gaza daily was about 55, compared with 500 that used to enter before the start of the conflict, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Source

They're trying so hard guys

A lot of those trucks are trying to enter through Egypt, not Israel.

Indeed so why does israel assume control over it?

Rafah Border Crossing

Egypt controls the crossing but imports through the Rafah crossing require Israeli approval

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 13 points 7 months ago

Which Israel repeatedly bombed when Egypt let trucks enter.

I think they’re confusing bullets and bombs with aid.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 13 points 7 months ago

The soldiers confused bread with guns so it is actually plausible

[–] mea_rah@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Perhaps they are talking about Molotov bread baskets.

People won't starve if they're dead.

Missed the end of the headline

Israel says it is trying to flood Gaza with aid from hydro engineers and a Dam Busters documentary

[–] owen@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 months ago

Lmaoo damn

[–] kirbowo808@kbin.melroy.org 29 points 7 months ago

Yeah sure, they are deffo trying to flood so much aid by rejecting most of the aid that’s trying to come to the country. Absolutely not an attempt to commit genocide to the Palestinian ppl whatsoever.

This has very "I have tons of black friends" vibes.

[–] Therealgoodjanet@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure, if bombs count as aid…

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Entropic charity

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Death, the greatest aid of all.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I guess you can't starve if you're dead from a gunshot wound.

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

You are not cold, hungry, or sick if you are dead.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago

"Aid" means "Bombs" in Hebrew. Hope that clears it up

Thanos style aid
