Israel’s military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.

The agency, known as UNRWA, posted its warning on social media on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.

“Ask Hamas if you can have some,” the IDF wrote.

    You think I’m talking about October? No, I’m talking about all the other times Palestinian kids were killed for tenuous reasons…

    But sure, if that’s the metric you want to use… which of the Palestinian children who died as a result of Israel’s response to the recent attacks deserved to die?

      It’s not a tenuous reason. If you throw shit at an army in a war zone they’re going to shoot you. That’s just how reality works.

      I’m strongly opposed to Israel’s dumbass heavy-handed reapons s to prior attacks. Their leadership has been idiotic. That doesn’t make them intentionally targeting civilians.

        I was in Iraq during the war. Kids threw rocks and bottles at our HMMWVs all the time. You know what we didn’t do? We didn’t shoot them. Normal civilized armies have rules of engagement.

          Like if the US claims you have nuclear weapons and the UN says you have no evidence your war is illegal, you do it anyways. Murika Fuk Yah!

          That whole war was a glorified terrorist attack in my eyes.

            So, if the UN tells the US the war is illegal, the US do it anyway, and that makes it a terrorist attack, what’s that tell you about the Israeli government and how they’re treating UN officials now?

          When were you in Iraq? I’m betting it wasn’t during Fallujah, because I can assure you civilians were killed there due to misconceptions.

          I have friends who did the killing, and are super fucked up about it.

            I was there from late 2003 to late 2004. When was Fallujah again? Oh wait, same time frame.

            Just quit while you’re behind homie. No one is agreeing with your shitty takes

              Confusing people agreeing with you and being right is how your shitty country wound up with people like Marjorie Taylor Space Laser as an elected official.

              Lol well POG, I’ll just tell my buddies to stop going to therapy and taking their meds because they definitely didn’t kill any civilians

              What a bunch of pussies they must be, right?

                You’re gonna call someone a pog that you don’t even know? And you weren’t in the military? Now I definitely know you’re a troll just trying to elicit emotional responses. I’m sure you’ll have to get the last word in but this is my last reply.

                  No I’m simply quite offended at you disrespecting the service and sacrifice of people I care about

                  Also it’s very clear I was correct, unless you wanna elaborate on your MOS?

        Lol. Spoken like a true bootlicking terrorist. “Of course he deserved to die. He threw ROCKS at our armored vehicles”.

        At least argue from a position of honesty and admit that you don’t give a shit about Palestinian civilians being used as fodder by both sides.

          I didn’t say anything about deserving. I acknowledged the reality of what happens when you throw rocks at soldiers in a war zone.

          This is true for every war zone.

            A child throwing a rock at a tank is not a reason to shoot the child. You’d be right at home with the racist shitheels here in America who want to shoot black delivery drivers for daring to pull into their driveway.

            You’re a fascist.

                But he got upvotes on the internet, clearly he is right.

                Humans are fucking doomed.
