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.

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 2 years ago

Which Israel repeatedly bombed when Egypt let trucks enter.

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

The soldiers confused bread with guns so it is actually plausible

[–] mea_rah@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Perhaps they are talking about Molotov bread baskets.

People won't starve if they're dead.

4 - Lies

3 - Damn dirty lies

2 - Statistics

1 - Israel saying it's trying to flood Gaza with aid

Missed the end of the headline

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

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 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure, if bombs count as aid…

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Entropic charity

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Death, the greatest aid of all.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Thanos style aid
