"He walked 12km to get there, and when he got there, he thanked us for the remnants and the small crumbs that he got.
"He set them down on the ground, because I was kneeling at this point, and he sets his food down, and he places his hands on my face, on the side of my face, on my cheeks, these frail, skeleton, emaciated hands - dirty - and he puts them on my face, and he kissed me.
"He kissed me, and he said thank you in English, thank you. And he collected his items, and he walked back to the group," he said.

GHF probably isn’t the worst death squad.

Yeah .... this isn't Israel's fault entirely.
We're all complicit in this genocide.
They'll be writing about this event in 50 years and asking why in the fuck the rest of the world just stood by and let a maniacal country just get away with all this. Not just allow them to do it but also fund, support and arm them to do all this.
Isreal is representative of just how depraved our world has become.

I’m not taking the blame for this one it’s all IDF. A significant proportion of the general population have vocalised their disgust. At this point it’s those pulling the trigger and their bosses who are at fault. No one else wants this apart from the IDF

I am very glad these people are telling stories of their experiences. As someone with severe PTSD from a chaotic job trying to help people I can tell you this will stay with this guy the rest of his life. I see this not just from the starving Palestinian side but also from the side that this guy's life, without proper acknowledgement and treatment is just as over as that poor Palestinian he watched starve and die.
I am hopeful he gets the help he needs but in this current western culture of hatred and cynicism I imagine he will disappear into a terrible obscurity of fucked up memories because Palestinians obviously deserve this and so does he for trying to help.
Neither person in this story should be experiencing this and all of us are complicit in allowing it to happen until we force our governments to do otherwise.

Agreed. Until we force our governments, who are the only ones who can do something about it, to act, we are just as complicit as those pulling the trigger. That so many refuse to stand up and push back against governments supporting genocide and Holocaust 2.0 is a terrible outlook on our future as humans in general. More voices need to ring out yet here we are. Making sure we get to work every day so our overlords can make more money and hire more slaves like us.

Most people (though probably less of a majority than you think) don't want this, but far too many are willing to indirectly fund it, arm it, defend it and suppress resistance to it through their governments. Like, a lot of this is happening with Westerners' tax money, and there are things that can be done beyond complain.

The majority of Israeli's who support the genocide have forgotten their history. Any student of history knows it has a funny way of repeating itself, time and time again.

What can the average person do in this case other than protest?

wrote last edited by [email protected]The primary enabler of Israeli crimes is the American public. Not every single person of course, from my time living in the US, both the local far right and centre right are complicit.
Realisticly, the best way forward would be to end the recognition of the Israel colonialist regime, ban all economic, logistical and communication links and start catching and prosecuting war criminals.
But for most countries, this is not possible, since America will annihilate you economically if you take such actions.
And the responsibility for this lies with the American public. And this includes the centre right.

The next line in the article sums up the situation though:
"Then he was shot at with pepper spray, tear gas, stun grenades and bullets shot at his feet [and then] in the air, and he runs away scared, and the IDF [Israeli army] were shooting at the crowd.

So, both of the political parties?

Just imagine the outrage if Hamas had done this, and it would be rightly so. But the other way around? This is how Palestinians are being treated, subhuman.

These people need to watch their backs and stay safe so they can testify at some point. Hopefully.

The Judaism that I was indoctrinated into without choice as a child taught me not to murder. Fuck everything about this. Fuck Israel.

Focusing on the culpability of individual voters is just reputation-washing for Israel.
It's like stepping over massive fossil fuel companies to blame someone who put plastic wrap in the trash instead of the recycle bin. This is not how to get people to stay engaged with politics between elections, and actually work together to do something now, which is how individual voters can actually impact the situation. Don't instill hopelessness by focusing on the blame of those so far from direct culpability.
