Another brazen and public demonstration of "self defense".
FOH. Shooting starving people is probably in the top 10 most evil things modern humans are doing to each other.

The fucking German government called the massacer an "unfortunate use of weapons"
Wait, yesterday I saw a link here that said "IDF guns down thousands". Does anyone know what actually happened there?
The Israeli extermination force started firing indiscriminately at a crowd of thousands of unarmed starving people killing hundreds and wounding hundreds more.
There will be no consequences. Israel is continuing to exterminate Palestinians with approval and supplies from America.
Stop voting for political parties that send taxpayer money to Israel.
People, set a few red lines and make these a criteria for who you vote for.
Which political parties do you suggest for our US friends?
It does not matter because FPTP automatically disenfranchises third-party voters. They're not even effective protest votes because they play into the hand of the established parties, who do not care.
The American Left needs to accept that Democracy doesn't just happen once every four years, it's a process. Vote Biden in in November and work against him for every day of his mandate.
Aid was supposed to be distributed to the people Israel are starving.
IDF claims people were pushing, so the obvious way to calm these people was to fire "warning shots" and the IDF fired those at cheat level.
Which caused chaos that IDF thought was a Hamas attack or something, and they opened fire at the chaos they caused.
So I think there's translation issues. They shot at a group of thousands, and hit hundreds, others were trampled to death by people fleeing the IDF.
Because nothing says "warning shots" like aiming directly at someone
From the looks of things, the IDF laid a trap for Palestinians.
The IDF promised food aid to the people they've been starving for the past few months (and keeping on the brink of starvation for the past 17 years)
The crowds gathered, waiting for the food aid to trickle out, when the IDF opened fire with vehicle mounted, heavy machine guns. Over 100 people are dead, and something like 750 were wounded.
A lot of them were children getting the food as well.
My understanding is a number of Palestinians gathered over the rumors of aid being delivered. The IDF got nervous seeing so many in one location and shot the crowd. Numbers from yesterday were over 100 dead and 700+ wounded.
They were starving Gaza long before that Hamas attack.
