-The ADL! Republicans! Democrats! Germany!
I know it’s the point but god damn these get annoying.
I wish I could say I was surprised.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid centers began operating in the Strip at the end of May. The circumstances of the foundation's establishment and its funding are murky: it is known to have been set up by Israel in coordination with U.S. evangelicals and private security contractors. Its current CEO is an evangelical leader close to U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The GHF operates four food distribution sites – three in southern Gaza and one in the center – known in the IDF as "rapid distribution centers" (Mahpazim). They are staffed by American and Palestinian workers and secured by the IDF from a distance of several hundred meters.
Thousands, and at times tens of thousands, of Gazans arrive daily to collect food from these sites.
Contrary to the foundation's initial promises, distribution is chaotic, with crowds rushing the piles of boxes. Since the rapid distribution centers opened, Haaretz has counted 19 shooting incidents near them. While the shooters' identities are not always clear, the IDF does not permit armed individuals in these humanitarian zones without its knowledge.
The distribution centers typically open for just one hour each morning. According to officers and soldiers who served in their areas, the IDF fires at people who arrive before opening hours to prevent them from approaching, or again after the centers close, to disperse them. Since some of the shooting incidents occurred at night – ahead of the opening – it's possible that some civilians couldn't see the boundaries of the designated area.
"It's a killing field," one soldier said. "Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars. Then, once the center opens, the shooting stops, and they know they can approach. Our form of communication is gunfire."
The soldier added, "We open fire early in the morning if someone tries to get in line from a few hundred meters away, and sometimes we just charge at them from close range. But there's no danger to the forces." According to him, "I'm not aware of a single instance of return fire. There's no enemy, no weapons." He also said the activity in his area of service is referred to as Operation Salted Fish – the name of the Israeli version of the children's game "Red light, green light".
The distribution centers typically open for just one hour each morning.
A literal trap for shooting victims. There is literally no way for the crowds to avoid being too early or too late or doing anything that can be used as an excuse to shoot them because the whole setup is designed to cause chaos.
There is no way to explain this as anything other than intentional.
Not disagreeing, but if I had thousands of starving people and a truck full of food - I think we could see it's going to be a scrum and chaos just all by itself, without war crimers war criming in the middle of it. They deliberately destroyed all the mechanisms that were in place and have no plans to replace them. This - nobody move until they open - is the evil war crime version of the lunch manager yelling at everyone to wait outside until 11:30.
Fuck Israel
I keep saying to fucking Genocide the genociders but NOoooo!! That's promoting violence! It's not allowed to fight back, just let the IDF slaughter Palestinians, and don't complain.. like wtf. Fuck you Mods if you delete this.
