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.

    It’s despicable behavior like this that makes it really hard to convince people that it’s only their fascist government that’s atrocious and should be sanctioned.

    They’re really not making a good case for not being treated exactly like Apartheid South Africa and Putin’s Russia…

      The only reason, and sadly the reason why they will get away with this for some more time for sure, is that the U.S. has pledged unconditional support. The whole west has to now tip toe around the fact that they very much watch a nation commit genocide without sanctioning the shit out of them. Germany has it easy cause we can always say “as former nazis we can not do anything but crawl up isreals butt”.

        Oh you wait. People will say Hamas made them do it. Every time Israel has done anything people are even remotely able to call wrong in this war, someone pipes up and says that Israel has to do it because Hamas has forced their hand. Anything from killing children to torturing prisoners. It’s all Hamas’ fault every time to those people.

      This is Hamas fault. Hamas eat food so we should kill food to stop it from aiding Hamas.

      And if regular citizens also starve and want to eat food, then that makes them Hamas terroritzes by association just like how the IDF AI chooses targets.

      And omg if the food was Hummas by any chance, then the most moral army in the world should drop 20000lbs bombs on it even if 99% killed were colateral victims because look what Hamas made us do

      /s

      No, it’s etho-state Nazis commiting genocide.
