Israeli forces opened fire on Thursday as a crowd gathered near a convoy of aid trucks in Gaza City in a chaotic scene where dozens were killed and injured, according to the official Palestinian Authority news agency and an Israeli official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Similar article was being reported by the usual sources who defend everything Israel does, so I'll just drop this in here pre-emptively:

Israel ABSOLUTELY opened fire on a crowd of thousands of innocent civilians with ZERO regard for their health or safety. The fact that thousands weren't killed and that it was merely hundreds IS NOT BETTER.

The story is confirmed, the number of casualties is fluctuating, and Israel needs to be ashamed of this event.

"at least 104 people were killed and more than 750 others wounded."

"104 were killed and more than 700 injured"

The fact that thousands weren’t killed and that it was merely hundreds IS NOT BETTER.

Gotta conserve ammo until the latest US shipment comes in.

"Chaotic scene" is an interesting way to put mowing down hundreds of civilians

  • Horrific scene
  • Stomach turning scene
  • Shameful scene
  • Barbaric scene
  • Criminal scene

Any other adjective but "chaotic".

The IDF was later quoted as saying, "Look what hamas is making us do to you!"

Followed by “the bags of flour were hamas and they were using the civilians as human shields”

Unbelievable. My unwillingness to hand victory to Trump is the ONLY reason I will still vote for Biden.

I'm super thankful my primary still hasn't happened. I'll absolutely be voting uncommitted. Here's hoping the only, and least risky method for sending a message within the Democratic party is acted upon - and of course , that our bluff isn't called out for what it is

I thought your country had a good tradition of political assassinations solving this kind of problem

If Trump put as much energy into fighting for the fair treatment of black folks as he has trying to destroy our election process and wreck our democracy, one of our three letter agencies would have already handled it.

That one and Bezos I, II and IV are gold. I hate the people, but dammit if Bo didn't give them bangin theme songs.

Stop posting this nonsense

Stop posting news in a news community?

This is not news anymore. It's like posting water is wet every single day

Israel needs to be called out for every warcrime they commit. It's the only thing we as regulars can still do while our governments are fully in the pockets of the Israeli propaganda machine.
