Israeli forces fire on UN food agency’s team in Gaza
World Food Programme suspends staff movements in Gaza after Israeli forces fired on a vehicle near a Gaza checkpoint.
The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced a pause in the movement of its employees in the Gaza Strip “until further notice” after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric blamed Israel for the attack, telling reporters in New York that the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle was “struck 10 times” by Israeli gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.
Five of the bullets were on the driver’s side and some on the windscreen.
Dujarric said the convoy’s movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military and it had clearance to approach.
Israel attacking innocents and commiting warcrimes?
Must be a day that ends in Y.
Now they know why the Israeli military coordinated with them to plan the path. So they could set up the ambush.
the "clearly marked" humanitarian vehicle
They're white. Except for the massive black markings. I don't think it can get much more obvious without bringing beacons and a sky writing display in.
UN prepares the extra angry pen for this letter
The Israeli forces made sure to avoid hitting marked UN panels. WFP forgot to draw text on their windows.
I have no idea how they could possiblytry to pass this off as even remotely acceptable, but I’m also quite sure they’ll try.
UN? I clearly read "HAMAS" on the sides of that car
*again.
Israeli forces fire on UN food agency's team in Gaza again.
Same thing I was gonna add..
It made me happy for a second to think we all agree and then kinda depressed that we all agree that Israel keeps attacking the volunteers just trying to help victims of their war.Is anyone even surprised anymore?
Israeli Nazis don't suprise me any longer.
They say Hamas are terrorists because they attack innocent civilians and that may be true, but it seems that by the same metric, aren't the IDF also terrorists for attacking innocent civilians in clearly marked vehicles ?
Verily i say more, If we go by how much civilian infrastructure and casualties have been committed, one side is clearly acting more strongly within the definition of terrorist than the other.
But the idf aren't brown????
Nor Muslim
Gaza, mostly thanks to Israel, remains the most dangerous conflict for aid workers now and perhaps in history.
Don't forget when IDF killed 3 Israeli hostages escaping Hamas who were shirtless, unarmed, and waving a white flag.
At every turn, Israel and Bibi need to be associated with Russia and Putin — for that's exactly how they behave.
Worry not: Biden will quickly pass an executive order for an emergency shipment from the US to Israel of bullets to replace the ones those brave IDF soldiers spent defending themselves from that evil UN Humanitarian vehicle.
Wouldn't want them to be low on bullets if, God forbid, they're faced with an even more dangerous assailant such as, for example, a Palestinian 5 year old child.
And don’t forget! You HAVE to vote for his party! Otherwise MY comfort might be at stake! I don’t want to hear about Palestinian children when gas costs $4.00! 😡🇺🇸🦅🫡💣
Seems like we need a peacekeeping force stationed in Israel. Headed by one of the EU members preferably, since we cant trust the US to be impartial.
Germany is still shipping weapons to Israel.
Faced with a modern version of Nazism, some EU members can't be trusted to not support them even when they're in the middle of executing their very own version of the Holocaust, probably because that view of human beings as inherently superior or inferior depending on their etnicity (aka ubermenshen and untermenschen) is alive, well and as strong as century ago.
The others (including my own country) just have different levels of bullshit when it comes the the Israeli Nazism and Genocide.
The only two EU nations that can be trusted on this are the Republic Of Ireland and Spain.
Germany arguably has good reason for a bad reason with horrific execution if that makes sense.
Given the history with Judaism they're overcorrecting and I think we can all kind of get that, it doesn't really make it right or ok but it's at least better reason than haha profit. Unless like literally everyone else stops first they aren't going to stop for fear of the potential optics.
Guys you just don't understand... How is Israel supposed to fight Hamas when they're hiding in cans of vegetables!? It's not Israels fault that Hamas uses sandwiches to hide their operations in!
Fuck me it's early. Read forces as a verb, not a noun.
Pretty fucked that Palestinians have to suffer because NGOs feel (and are) unsafe.
I did the same. Anything can be a garden path sentence if your tired enough.
The old man the boat.
What happens when you systematically deprive millions of people of food again? Either Israel doesn't know the answer to this question or it's a blatant GENOCIDAL ACT. There is literally no other option.
Israel continues to amaze me about how awful they can be.
Israel is a rogue state at this point, but everyone in power keeps pretending they're not because wE nEeD sTaBiLiTy In ThE rEgIoN or some such utter fucking nonsense.
Aka "we want Israeli money"
Well, that and they're probably? a nuclear power. It's fucking ridiculous what they can get away with.
I'm sure the IGF and government aren't upset about the pause at all
If you find it BAD to SHOOT FOOD AID WORKERS then you HATE JEWS because JEWS MURDER FOOD AID WORKERS!
Reported for the whole "JEWS MURDER FOOD AID WORKERS", and you really should specify Israelis or the IDF. "JEWS..." anything, really, is a bad look.
But I get where you're coming from:
Not once:

Not twice:

Multiple times:

I heard it's antisemitic to think it's bad to shoot food aid workers.
Sublime
Why fucking say shit like this? I know you're being facetious, but it's probably better not to say petulant shit like this, especially since you seem to be taking a deliberately antisemitic stance in jest...
Terrorists, war crime-rs, and genociders are what makes up the Israeli military.
It's just unfortunate that military service is compulsatory for most Israelis.
It was not compulsory for Ben Gvir, who was excused from compulsory service because the IDF at the tine thought he was too extreme. He has since been convicted of terrorism, and currently serves as Israel's minister of defense.
war crime-rs
I think the term is "criminals".
Yeah, but the right word just doesn't have the same ring as my made up word.
Ah, I see. I think maybe capitalising "Forces" would help. I didn't understand it as a noun for ages.

My god this bot is problematic... Really makes me lose all respect for the
.worldecosystem of mods and admins that they've heard the feedback and refused to do anything without even considering the possibility of just not having this bot at all. All feedback is replied to with basically "you must implement a bot for us in order for us to take you seriously"A bot that just spams the media ratings of some random dude is so incredibly a techbro non-solution to the actual problem of people posting questionable sources. Not only does it not stop people from posting questionable sources to begin with, it creates a bunch of off topic chatter about the rating itself. So now instead of just removing poor sources, poor sources get a comment that probably 90% of people voting aren’t going to see. This is somehow progress, despite changing nothing.
Yes it is very disappointing. I believe the bot is actively harmful and have raised concerns through the proper channels only to be told they are not open to removing the bot at all. No reason given as to why the option should be off the table. Just have to hope that people see the downvotes and hesitate to take the ratings at face value.
They claim they're not authoritarian by forcing this, after so many have complained.
