Israeli Soldiers Ordered to Shoot at Unarmed Palestinians Waiting for Aid: Report
-
Soldiers in the Israeli military have told the Israeli news outlet Haaretz that aid distribution centers in Gaza have become “a killing field,” with military leadership ordering soldiers to fire on unarmed Palestinians.
Massacres at aid distribution sites have become a common occurrence in recent weeks as the Israeli military ever so slightly loosened its blockade against humanitarian aid into Gaza, and tasked itself with aid management under the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The Palestinian Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas, estimates that 549 have been killed and several thousands injured near aid sites since late May, when the foundation first began operations. The United Nations estimated that least 410 had been killed at aid sites over a similar time frame.
Soldiers and officers in the Israeli Defense Forces who spoke to Haaretz paint a bleak picture of the scene, indicating the killings are the result of IDF policies targeting civilians in violation of international law.
As always, let's keep this civil and on-topic.

The reason I was thinking as a scapegoat is because they now went after Iran. But maybe I just don't know enough about the subject
Edit: I suppose also it's probably easier to mask as "justified" when they kill at random, VS a one and done destruction of the entire region. It bothers me that Western countries are supplying Israel with military aid, though. I don't want my tax dollars being wasted. never mind going to genocide. It's awful.

I think it's just mind-fuckery with some fun for the IDF.
