Tel Aviv has stepped up indiscriminate attacks against displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza due to the army’s failure to ‘dismantle’ Hamas
The IDF says Palestinians were hurt by “pushing and trampling”
How irresponsible of the starving Palestinians not to file out in an orderly manner while being shot.
This is what happens when humanitarian aid is denied for weeks. When food becomes not only scarce but literally gone, there is no order, there is no line, it’s every person for themselves. Just looking at some of the replies to that X post reminds me:
- Why I don’t touch Birdsite anymore
- That many people are reptiles wearing human skin.
- That Gaza has become a death camp, run by Israel, overseen by the weakest hands the world could provide.
You do realise Israel can open one of their northern crossings and deliver that humanitarian aid with trucks, but they decided not to.
And then stating that they are the victim here is absolutely and utterly ridiculous. They have deliberately created this reality. At any point in time they could have decided to prevent this from happening but nope, they did not.
Plus air drop is an extremely expensive and ineffective way to deliver humanitarian aid and is definitely NOT a long term solution, which has a more symbolic role than anything else.
“Israel” really wants to dethrone nazi Germany as the most openly genocidal fascist state huh.
No wonder zionists and nazis have a history of cooperating. Might as well be the same thing.
Please, do tell, how is the USA the most genocidal country on this earth?
They try to not be open about it though, at least to its own population, unlike “israel”.
It’s basically a US colony in Palestine though so ig it’s a moot point.
No, not really. There’s a lot of whitewashing of US history, especially in textbooks. If you ask the average American they wouldn’t even call anything the US did “genocide.”

Brits and Spaniards didn’t kill like 50 million people for you to give the crown to an upstart
This source is heavily biased against Israel. I wouldn’t trust them for news regarding this conflict.
While it demonstrated a clear opposition to Israel and the West, The Cradle did not appear to weigh in on other topics relevant to right-left U.S. politics. Site searches for “liberal,” “conservative,” “right-wing,” and “left-wing” yielded few results.
However, The Cradle frequently cast “far-right” Israeli politicians in a negative light. While the reviewer noted that this was likely due more to the region’s specific politics than any alignment with U.S. partisan polarization, The Cradle’s clear anti-Israel stance made it difficult to justify a Center rating.
The reviewer noted a general trend of coverage sympathetic to Arab Muslims and suspicious of Israel and the West. This could be seen in The Cradle’s extensive coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict, which often highlighted faults by Israel. Notable headlines included “Israeli police unable to verify ‘Hamas rape’ stories,” “Israel defender Alan Dershowitz named in Epstein court docs,” “Michael Hudson: A roadmap to escape the west’s stranglehold,” and “‘Unprecedented’ surge in West Bank settlement activities.” The Cradle also published interviews with representatives of militant groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Middle Eastern politicians like Iraqi ex-PM Adil Abdul-Mahdi.
I said it was from a biased source, not that it was wrong, but if you want to see an example of why it’s bad compare the death count in the CNN report vs. this one. It’s not “thousands” gunned down, even according to Hamas:
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said 104 were killed and more than 700 injured in the incident, one of the deadliest since the war in Gaza began.
It also includes IDF statements which paint a very different picture of events:
In an initial account, Israel said Gaza residents surrounded the aid trucks and looted the supplies. “During the incident, dozens of Gazans were injured as a result of pushing and trampling,” the Israel Defense Forces told CNN.
An Israeli military spokesperson later said in a briefing that there were two separate incidents involving aid trucks.
First, he says trucks went to the north and were swarmed by crowds, with trucks running over people. Subsequently, he says, a group of Palestinians approached Israeli forces, who then opened fire on the Palestinians.
“The truckloads went into the north, then there was the stampede, and then afterwards, there was the event against our forces. That’s how things transpired this morning,” the spokesman said.
I don’t believe anything offhand from such a source, especially on matters regarding Israel, nor should you. Stick to credible organizations if you prefer objective reporting to emotionally charged propaganda.

You ok?
Israel is responsible for making these people desperate enough that they get trampled in a rush for scarce food. Israel also admits it opened fire on a crowd of hungry civilians. Nothing about this makes the IDF look anything other than very bad.
Dudes drunk the koolaid. Probably not worth the effort to get him to think critically
Because I disagree with you the only possible explanation is that I don’t think critically? Piss off.
I suspect this story from CNN is about the same incident: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/29/middleeast/gaza-city-deaths-food-israel-intl/index.html
Slightly misleading title: Preliminary estimates range from 80-200 dead, uncounted hundreds wounded.
Fuck israel.
No. The article says the number wounded is likely in the hundreds. The headline is exaggerating a tragic event.
Let’s not split hairs between dead or wounded. Getting wounded while starving and no hospitals functioning and everyone around you has dysentery dooms someone to a very slow, very painful death.
They’re shooting to kill. If they hit someone, that person has been gunned down whether they die immediately or after bleeding out. They’re shooting at a crowd of thousands, and 800 are dead or dying as a result, according to Al Jazeera. So maybe we need to wait a few more hours before the 1000+ number can be confirmed, but it’s already obvious Israel was aiming for ‘thousands’.
WTF?! What’s in the mind of those IDF soldiers? “oh look, thousands of hamas troops conveniently standing around in open space waiting to be shot”?
They don’t really believe they’re shooting at Hamas. They believe they’re shooting at subhuman animals. This is the genocidal mindset.
There’s a Twitter link here from the IDF. The comments show exactly what they are thinking “these are ants, look how funny it is that we killed 100 of them”.
Literally people cheering for a military shooting at starving people. Christ this is what Nazis look like.
How long before Israel starts ironically selling arab skinned lamps?
Christ this is what Nazis look like.
That’s the thing; they are basically nazis. Zionists have the same goal as nazis of getting Jews out of Europe and weaponizing and exacerbating antisemitism for an imperialist agenda (here, that’s colonialism and the destabilization of the middle-east).
It’s a fascist colony built on the continued genocide and ethnic cleansing of the native Palestinians. It’s inevitable that what you get is a similarly fascist population not unlike that of nazi Germany. Specially with half of the colony’s population being military conscripts who directly carry out the genocide.

I’m just gonna leave this link to an article here from 2009 and slowly walk away: https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/21/israeli-pathologists-harvested-organs
In a follow‐up story, Haaretz correspondent Dan Sagir interviewed a deputy company commander in the armored corps whose unit served in Jenin at the start of the intifada.
