Months after some Israelis started to protest against aid lorries entering Gaza at the main Kerem Shalom crossing, the battle has moved to other key junctions, where rival groups of activists do their best to block or protect aid convoys.
Right-wing activists, including Jewish settlers living in the occupied West Bank, have uploaded dozens of videos of crowds, including some very young children, hurling food onto the ground and stamping on boxes of aid.
In one video, a group of jubilant protesters dance and celebrate on top of a looted lorry.
In another, one of the stranded lorries is ablaze.
In the West Bank, at least two drivers who were not carrying goods bound for Gaza were dragged from their cabs and beaten.
Other videos show Israeli vigilantes stopping lorries in Jerusalem and demanding that drivers show papers proving they are not transporting aid to Gaza. Their faces are uncovered and they appear to be acting with complete impunity.
When you live in an open-air prison you tend to hate the guards.
The suicide bombings came long before the militarized border.
You posed a hypothetical. I posed an answer. I’m not going to respond to a strawman like this other than to point out that it’s a strawman. This conflict didn’t start yesterday. It’s like saying the Apache attacks started before Indian Removal. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s genocide.
