DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel announced Sunday it will allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza after a nearly three-month blockade, days after global experts on food security warned of famine. … It was not immediately clear when aid would enter Gaza, or how. The Israeli military body in charge of overseeing aid did not comment. Israel has been trying to impose a new aid system, despite objections by aid workers. Netanyahu said Israel would work to ensure that aid does not reach militants.

    How many people are still willing to make those deliveries knowing that the IDF deliberately murders aid workers and tries to obscure the crime?

    So yeah… I’ll believe it when it actually happens rather than trust the word of the government that has been blatantly lying about it and related topics since its inception nearly 80 years ago.

      Allow limited aid in for a week… then target and kill the aid workers (as they’ve been doing) and go back to intentionally bombing civilians (as they’ve been doing) with the end goal of eliminating the Palestinian people and completing the seizure of their land (which was their goal all along).

      A lot of asterisks on anything they claim to do. Genocide is always the ultimate intent.

      After blowing up the aid trucks.

      We did not blow up an aid truck. We blew up terrorists.

      After evidence comes out that, yes, it was an aid truck.

      Well, they did not properly identify themselves as an aid truck.

      Video evidence comes out that they identified themselves on the truck, with their uniforms, and during direct conversation with the soldiers who then killed them anyway.

      One of the aid workers was totally a terrorist. He was hiding a bomb in his underpants, we swear!

      Everyone knows this is an obvious lie.

      And what are you going go do about it? Tweet at us?

    ‘basic’

    I’m certain what comprises ‘basic’ is defined by Netan-yayhoo/IDF…

    ‘basic’ is probably a generous term. 🙄 🤡 🖕
