Why is Israel killing so many Palestinians seeking food in Gaza?
Desperate Palestinians have faced a barrage of attacks by Israeli forces at food sites.
At least 70 Palestinians were killed in a single day this week at a food distribution site run by a controversial group in Khan Younis that is backed by #Israel and the United States.

Because this is part of their campaign of systematic extermination, same with their bombings of every hospital and ambulance they find, bombing of schools, bombing of historical sites, water & energy infrastructure, AI targeting of families (Lavender, Where's Daddy), quadcopters playing sounds of crying children to lure people in and kill them, 'double tap' bombings that bomb the same target again once response teams are searching through the rubble for survivors, systematic targeting of journalists, and more

The funny thing is if you ask a random Israeli citizen this they'll most likely straight up tell you that the explicit goal is to kill all the barbaric inhuman scum by any means and that they're not worthy of even the most basic human decency. The vast majority of Israelis not only agree that their country is committing genocide, they wholeheartedly support it. It's honestly laughable how mainstream articles (even Aljazeera wtf) still ask "why" in their headlines when most Israelis themselves will straight up tell you the answer they're dancing around.

They are committing a genocide - they want to kill all the Palestinians.

It’s basically fishing. The aid sites is bait to lure Palestinians to the troops to wipe out those that refuse to just leave. (Yes it’s fucked up)

It is also a tactic similar to the Nazis clearing the Warsaw ghetto. Starve the people and then hold some bread in their face in return for going to the deportation train transporting them into the extermination camps.

For the same reason they've been doing it for for 60+ years now: to evict the Palestinians and steal their land.

How Palestine became colonized.

Because they are cartoon villains.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago

Because they are conducting a genocide. They are killing people who live in Gaza so they can take over their land.

Because they’re assholes?

@billwashere @faab64 @palestine Don't you think it would be understating the inhumane products of white supremacy and imperialism

My disgust is the silence of the world. Watching these daily atrocities without even reporting them.

It's just so freaking sad.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

"Silence" is a generous description; much of the world is actively supporting these atrocities.
