Gaza war: Israelis attack aid convoys sent for Palestinians - eviltoast

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.

    I mean they are letting fuel in and the cell networks do work. The area is 25 miles wide. Three new diesel power desolinizations plants open this year in Gaza. Maybe you got tricked?

      Wild to mention the desalination where there is an acute lack of potable water in Gaza right now. And why the hell are the diesel powered in the first place, does it have to do with the lack of un-bombed power plants?
