‘Flour massacre’: Lifesaving aid becomes a deadly struggle in Gaza
France 24 ^ | France 24

Posted on 03/03/2024 4:27:09 AM PST by hardspunned

At least 112 Palestinians were killed and more than 750 others were injured on Thursday after Israeli troops opened fire on civilians gathered at a convoy of food trucks southwest of Gaza City, Palestinian health officials said. Israel denied it was to blame, saying that many victims were run over by aid trucks in a rush to obtain food. The massacre comes as the UN warns of an “almost inevitable famine” in the besieged Palestinian enclave amid increasing reports of children dying of starvation.

A bullet to the head or being crushed under a truck is more humane than being starved to death. Those Palestinian animals, imagine rushing the only food in Gaza motivated only by your starving children dying in what’s left of your bombed out hovel. Silly me, I forgot, this must be Pete Townsend’s fault. He killed and wounded those poor people by doing his sound check before the food had been distributed.

And it’s the Ukrainians fault for dying because they refuse to accept pitins 1600’s view of the world.

No idea of what happened in Gaza, but have serious doubts that the Israelis opened fire on large group of civilians just for the heck of it

We can’t believe anything we read or see anymore

World War 2 was very hard on Germans and Japanese because they were the aggressors. We did not target civilians, but civilians are always involved in any war. I don’t believe any source that says Israel intentionally fired on them. The mainstream medias have proven themselves to be liars for as long as Israel has existed. And they always take the side of the enemy.

What I find fascinating is how Putin condemns Israel’s actions yet in general his actions are the same or worse, and that is okay.

Of Gaza was in Ukraine it would have been utterly flattened, and then occupied by Russians and declared “liberated”.
The rest of Eastern Europe took millions of Ukrainians fleeing the war, how many “Palestinians jas the Arab world taken in?

The whole incident was staged on the same Hollywood backlot the moon landings happened? The thousand dead and wounded were shot and crushed by the Hamas director and producer to give the ruse a feel of realism? If I supported such atrocities I’d be lying to myself as well.

The problem with these civilians...is that they’re all Muslims and have backed Hamas since the beginning.

The Arab world has taken in Palestinians before. That’s why Egypt has a most awesome border fence on their border with Gaza.

Dresden.

And I have no problem with that. It helped break the spirit of the Germans.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, killed mostly civilians.

Actually saved the lives of millions of civilians by preventing the invasion of Japan.

Oh, yeah. Politically creative BS from the French Left, who have always been anti-Semitic anyway.

Inbred people have little capacity to think and understand some simple things like, moving trucks will not stop just because you get in front of them.

how many “Palestinians has the Arab world taken in?

In all fairness to the Arab world, they have been there, done that and know what they would be getting.

Unlike the west, they are capable of learning their lesson. Namely, that when Palestinians are involved, no good deed goes unpunished.

The only long term solution I can see (short of giving the Palestinians the inhumane solution that they want for Israel) is to resettle them in some, largely empty, third country where tribal warfare is a way of life. They would do okay there. Somalia comes immediately to mind.

I was watching a webcam. They have no traffic lights. They have no stop signs. Driving in Gaza, it’s a free for all.

In Dresden we targeted the military industrial infrastructure. The firestorm that resulted was unintentional. It killed a lot of civilians but they themselves were not targeted.

“What I find fascinating is how Putin condemns Israel’s actions yet in general his actions are the same or worse, and that is okay.“

OK, back that statement up with facts. Since the Ukrainian war started in 2014, including Putin’s invasion, less than a third the number of Palestinian civilian casualties (in only four months) have been suffered. In reality, the exact opposite is true. Putin is avoiding civilian casualties as he continues to foolishly believe the West will allow a negotiated peace. The indiscriminate butchery of civilians, he knows, would make negotiations near impossible even if DC allowed peace to be pursued. Look at the ratio of military deaths to civilian in Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands vs ten thousand. In Gaza it is the complete opposite.

Staged? No. Incorrectly reported? Most likely.

Gee, maybe they shouldn’t have started an undeclared war on kids at a music festival.
