Israeli Human Rights Lawyer Attacked While Documenting Settler Raid on Gaza Aid Convoy

Support our work: www.democracynow.org/donate?c...
Aid agencies are running out of food in southern Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing offensive in Rafah and the shutdown of the two main border crossings in the south. Some 1.1 million Palestinians are on the brink of starvation, according to the United Nations, while a “full-blown famine” is taking place in the north. Meanwhile, some Israelis have been blocking aid from reaching the Gaza border, including a violent attack on trucks carrying humanitarian relief through the occupied West Bank earlier this week, when settlers threw food packages on the ground and set fire to the vehicles at the Tarqumiyah checkpoint near Hebron. “They did whatever they want,” says Israeli lawyer and peace activist Sapir Sluzker Amran, who documented the attack on the aid convoy. She says Israeli soldiers appeared to be working with the settlers, refusing to intervene. “They were just standing aside like there is nothing that they can do, like it’s normal, what’s happening.”

[@kman5768]

They had no humanity to begin with!

[@R.IAmEnough]

This is happening since 1920; less than 3 years after the infamous Balfour Declaration 2nd November 1917. In 1920, the British mandate brought thousands of X I O N I S T criminal mafias in small boats. They always brought them at night. As soon as their feet hit the sands of Haifa, and Jaffa shores, the mandate armed them with guns and unleashed them to eliminate and expel 3 million (Muslims, Christians and J * wish) Palestinians. Those gang members literally became the first and second generations of politicians, I O F and spokesmen. The Western hegemony that created those blood thirsty colonial entity, polished their image worldwide and protected those war criminals, for more than 100 years.

I guess we, citizens of the world, really have to make sure that these kind of injustices will end once for all... go ahead students of the world, and whoever cares about justice... we must make sure that our governments understand that genocide is not acceptable in any circumstance... this is the time for a change...

Is not it Hamas who did it? The Hamas members who had been caught, confess that they did it. The leader of Hamas instructed them to kill everyone, civilians, and the unarmed. Imagine they confess they broke the Gazan houses, and killed everyone inside! Man, women, eldest, children! Using a 64 year old woman as a human shield. Hamas do not care about human rights. They only care about themselves.

[@sliladim5999]

The problem is not Biden or trump , the problem is with our foreign policy

[@jimreily7538]

Trump will be no better, in fact, he will be far worse. He is all in for Israel, so is the entire GOP. Trump was proud of his assistance in moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, and recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital. If you think the Americans are behaving badly now, wait until Trump gets in. He'll have American soldiers on the ground with the IDF. He's brutal and callous. Biden may be ineffectual, but at least he can be moved by his own Party. Trump's Party is full of people who are as bad, if not worse than the Likudniks and the psycho right wing nuts of Netanyahu's Party. Do not allow Trump back into the White House, even if that's by not voting for Biden. You must vote Blue if you want to see any change for the better, in the US policy toward Israel. Should you vote Trump or not at all, you'll be actively throwing the Palestinians to the wolves. Not voting is just as strong an act, just as much of a decision as voting and will help Trump get in, so will mean this situation will only get far, far worse.

How about the c. 500 Palestinians killed in the West Bank during 2023? Did you forget or forgive the 750,000 settlers pushing the Palestinians into ever more compact living spaces in what is their own land in the West Bank and East Jerusalem? How about the shootings and destruction of Arab homes and entire communities driven out at gunpoint. Have we forgotten that the Israeli blockade on Gaza pre 7 October 2023 left 80% dependent on international aid, unemployment rate of 45%. 65% probability of being poor, a 41% probability of dropping out of the labour force in despair. Living standards 27% lower than in 2006. Inadequate access to clean water or proper sewage system lack of electricity half the time. This goes back to 1947/8 when Palestinians were 67% of the population and owned 94% of land. (Jews 32% of population, own 5.6% of land). 1 year later 750,000 Palestinians were expelled by Zionist forces from 78% of Mandatory Palestine. Since then the Palestinians have been on the receiving end of gen o cide and ethnic cleansing. The ratio of harm being done is too lopsided to put into numbers. It is inconceivable that anything positive will result from the current onslaught of crime.
