Gaza’s government media office accused the Israeli army of “committing a horrific massacre”. More than 70 people were killed and about 250 others wounded, it said in a statement on Thursday.

The citizens had congregated at al-Rashid Street, where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way. Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.

“I have been waiting since yesterday. At about 4.30 this morning, trucks started to come through. Once we approached the aid trucks, the Israeli tanks and warplanes started firing at us, as if it was a trap.

    would stop him from losing votes to people who oppose Genocide.

    Who is this magical candidate who promises to run roughshod over 80+ years of US foreign policy and change the minds of almost every single Congresscritter (and their financial backers)?

    Absolutely fucking nobody, you’re just a GOP shill

        Ah yes, a complete non-answer. Gotcha, you’re dismissed.

        Also, good job misrepresenting everything I said. When did I tell him not to stop? I’m just telling your idealist college kid brain that he’s simply not going to, whether we like it or not. Nobody is, and nobody realistically can except Bibi. Maybe redirect your efforts where they might actually count, toward Israeli citizens themselves, rather than lashing out where it absolutely will not matter. Assuming you actually give a fuck about Palestinians and are not simply a GOP shill, of course.

          You’re the only one misrepresenting anything pretending that Biden can win while enabling Genocide.

          That is not going to happen. Pretending it will only delays Biden from doing anything and helps Trump.

            Lol, okay. Live in your fantasy world. He can win if people like you stop encouraging apathy. But no US president will ever do what you want. You might get one that further enables Israel, though.

              We will stop encouraging apathy when Biden stops committing Genocide.

              For both of us let’s hope that happens soon.

                  By dropping poll numbers so hard the the Biden campaign realizes that they cannot continue ignoring it. This will make them fix it as fast as possible, and then they can actually campaign without having lefties rally against Biden instead of Trump.

                  Pray tell how do you think ignoring the issue and telling people to just lesser evil it until November will turn out? I believe what you are saying it actually the most apathetic thing possible.
