A US-based aid group admitted Friday that a group of individuals — who the Israeli military says were armed — took control of an aid convoy in the southern Gaza Strip the day before, without the organization having vetted them or coordinated the matter with the Israel Defense Forces.
The military said Thursday that it struck the gunmen, killing them while not harming aid workers.
According to the IDF, Hamas operatives frequently try to hijack aid deliveries.
The IDF had said on Thursday that a convoy of aid trucks from the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) organization entered the southern Rafah area with Israeli coordination. It said that during the drive, it identified a group of gunmen taking over a vehicle at the front of the convoy and beginning to lead it. The IDF described the act as a hijacking attempt.
Shortly afterward, the IDF said it was able to determine that it could strike just the car with the gunmen, without harming the rest of the convoy, and so it carried out a strike, killing at least four.
Some things are really simple. The zionists have colonized Palestine and established an apartheid settler colonial regime that is currently committing genocide against the colonized. They are the baddies. That is not to say that Hamas are in any way the good guys, it’s just that colonizing people is wrong and apartheid and genocide are some of the worst crimes against humanity so an entity committing these crimes is of course bad.
If that is simple to you, then you really haven’t done any research into the subject. Would you call the native tribes of Oklahoma colonizers after they regained much of their land from the state? Of course not, because it’s not as simple as I’ve described it - imagine a non-native Oklahoman calling the Chickasaw colonizers because suddenly they are in the jurisdiction of that Nation? That’s what extremists sound like, using charged words that evoke emotions from other situations unlike the one described.
What are you even on about? I don’t think I can follow you.
the native tribes of Oklahoma are:
tho, it’s not surprising that someone who supports the Israeli settler colonial project would unironically pull “what if we have the Native Americans their land back”, a group of people who the US still saw as literal second class humans during WW1 and still had as second class residents during the 70s
but if you believe the Indians should stay in their reservations, I guess any stance other than brutal settler colonialism is meaningless.
