This feels like it's meant to be a joke, but it's not.

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says the provision of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza endangers Israeli soldiers and must stop after more than 100 Palestinians were reported killed while trying to get aid in Gaza City.

“Today it was proven that the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza is not only madness while our hostages are held in the Strip … but also endangers IDF soldiers,” Ben-Gvir said, calling the deliveries “oxygen to Hamas”.

The incident is “another clear reason why we must stop transferring this aid”, he wrote on X.

Ben-Gvir also said Israel must “provide complete support to our heroic fighters operating in Gaza, who acted excellently against a Gazan mob that tried to harm them”.

It is crazy to starve people to procced calling them barbars for being desperate. But here they (the fasicst government) are, using this exact argument to justify a massacre.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 18 points 8 months ago

This logic is absurd. We killed 100 people, therefore the aid has to stop, because it allows us to kill civilians.

Have you considered not killing civilians?

Remember the beginning of Black Hawk Down when the warlord's men machine gun the people trying to get bags of grain? And the Black Hawk crew couldn't engage?

Yeah, it's like that, except we're paying the warlord's army this time.

Fuck fascism, fuck the monstrous IDF, fuck Netanyahu.

I had to check. Really.

[-] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 48 points 8 months ago

Sorry but this post is clearly anti-Semitic as it fails to condemn HAMAS' violent attack on 7th of October 2023. /s

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

I don't know if you're a fan of Some More News, but their most recent episode was on all the terrible arguments to justify the Israeli genocide and the 'title monkey' keeps repeatedly asking "but do you condemn Hamas?"

It's pretty amusing.

My favourite news showdy!

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

But do you condemn hamas?

Reminder to always watch the ending clip, there’s always some last joke or line or something after the credits too.

Top quality editorial here...

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Editorial of what? There's no cite or anything. To me this is just some image somebody made and not reputable.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

It's been on the news all day dude. At some point you have to actually pay attention.

As a professional victim I prefer to ignore everything until it's advantageous to me to know so.

Why won't somebody think of the feelings of the guards of the extermination camp???!

[-] comrade19@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Its so messed up

[-] degen@midwest.social 18 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Why yes, because over 100 ~~IDF~~ IOF soldiers were massacred, right?... Right?

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

As we all know antisemitism is when something makes Zionists feel uncomfortable such as the truth.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Feeding starving kids is the most vile anti-semitic thing I can think of.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Feels ?

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Post like this basically give the election to trump. Stop the madness.

Edit: Jesus fuck! Do I really need to write /s on this sub? A point of clarity for those who doubt. Biden has failed to use his political power to stop a heinous act. We can't always stop horrors everywhere, but here we can actively do something. Frankly, we should be delivering aid directly under the guidance on UNRA.

Ceasefire now. Free Palestine.

[-] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

What gives the election to trump is biden's inability to not support genocide. Trying to get people to be quiet about it only makes me wanna vote for him even less than I already do, since he's clearly the pro-genocide candidate

[-] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

If you think the US stance torwards Israel would change just one bit under Trump, you are very mistaken.

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

He won't be better. But as a non american I can understand why someone would feel voting a genocide enabler is just impossible. Here in Germany it is a somewhat comparable situation (but at least I can give my vote for a minority party, that might actually get into parliament).

[-] BigWheelPowerBrakeSlider@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Remember when Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel? People are kill-informed if they think things get better for the Palestinians under Trump 2.0.

[-] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I almost feel like a dummy for falling for this cx I wouldn't have a few months ago, but lately I've seen a lot of liberals share this sentiment genuinely. The idea that any criticism of biden or things he supports is russian or chinese propaganda trying to get trump elected. It seems to have calmed down recently, but a few weeks ago I saw someone saying pro palestinian protestors were russian spies who should be shot

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

You gotta be kidding me!

All it takes is for one man, Joe Biden, to act differently in this one thing, to pretty much guarantee that Trump loses.

Yet instead of that one man stopping support for Fascists and their Genocide, we get endless parroting if this, frankly disgusting, propaganda that the "only way" is for millions of people to swallow their principles and humanitarianism and endorse a guy activelly supporting a Genocide.

Why should millions yield in their unwillingness to have mass murder activelly supported in their name and with their taxes all just so that one guy, one single guy, can continue using the resources he has been entrusted with by voters to activelly support mass murder?!

Does anyone think that trump would act any differently? That he would put a stop to any of this? He literally tear gassed protesters for a photo op.

Source? There's no chance this is real.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

It's real. They opened fire on a crowd of civilians trying to get food aid from an aid truck.

I really want to believe that poster meant that there's no way the headline in the image is real, but...

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 5 points 8 months ago

Found the article by middle east eye but the article is vague, and apparently they quote from Israel but taken it out of context. Very typical of MEE. But the truth isn't too far off.

Here's the quote in question from CNN:

Israel confirmed its forces fired on people, saying crowds had threatened their troops

Here's another one from CNN, detailing the event.
