WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
I understood from the Star Tribune headline over the AP story yesterday that the IDF had massacred some 100 Gazans seeking food and water. As of this morning, the AP is sticking with the story with a Rafah dateline. It leads with this observation: “Israeli troops fired on a crowd of Palestinians racing to pull food off an aid convoy in Gaza City on Thursday, witnesses said.”
The AP coverage link above.
There are a few key paragraphs that most msm coverage will likely leave out including below:
Israel said many of the dead were trampled in a chaotic stampede for the food aid and that it's troops only fired when they felt endangered by the crowd.
........................
If the IDF does not control who gets the food it can go back to the terrorists very easily. Thats likely what they were trying to do, make sure those in need not terrorists get the food.
Here's yet another graph explaining what is going on:
Military officials said the pre-dawn convoy of 30 trucks driving to northern Gaza were met by huge crowds of people trying to grab the aid they were carrying. Dozens of Palestinians were killed in the stampede, and some were run over by the trucks as the drivers tried to get away, said Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the chief military spokesperson.
Israeli troops guarding the area fired warning shots toward the crowd because they felt endangered, he said.
.........................
So the IDF is tasked with a rather impossible job of getting food to those starving and not those who want to get it to the terrorists.A near impossible job.
Also, it pays to recall who aided the terrorists while they sent thousands of rockets into Israel! It was the locals! So how does the IDF feed only those who were peaceful and not those who aided the terrorists? Or, terrorists posing as locals.It's a near impossible task.
