The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have said they carried out an airstrike on a humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza aimed at “armed assailants” trying to hijack it but the charity that organised the aid said people killed in the strike were employees of the transport company it was working with.
The convoy, organised by the US-based NGO Anera, was carrying medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah on Thursday evening at the time of the attack. Its route had been coordinated in advance with the IDF, under a deconfliction process intended to prevent aid vehicles being bombed.
Anera’s Palestine country director, Sandra Rasheed, said: “This is a shocking incident. The convoy, which was coordinated by Anera and approved by Israeli authorities, included an Anera employee who was fortunately unharmed.
I still don’t truly understand how the international Community still lets this bullshit fly. How many humanitarian missions hospitals and reporters are they gonna be allowed to kill before somebody fucking does something about this?
Who do you expect to do what?
Should the West and NATO invade Israel?
Pull absolutely all support and funding, permanent ban on weapons transfers, deactivate their F35s. International financial sanctions.
There are so many things you can do between nothing and full on invasion. Your question cannot possibly be in good faith.
It’s just the US and it’s brothers in colonialism at this point.
Because the US uses its Security Council veto to prevent the UN from taking action.
And Palestine isn’t in NATO.
What other international organization could intervene? The Arab League? The last time Arab countries fought a war against Israel to try to liberate Palestine, they lost. (And remember, Israel has nuclear weapons now, while no Arab country does.)
