Zionists Use Food-Baits To Attract And Kill Starving Civilians

The Zionist occupation forces send food into the northern Gaza strip to then kill starving Palestinians who try to collect it.

Food aid reaches north Gaza for first time in weeks, Israeli officials sayAP, Feb 28 2024

Aid convoys carrying food reached northern Gaza this week, Israeli officials said on Wednesday, the first major delivery in a month to the devastated, isolated area, where the UN has warned of worsening starvation among hundreds of thousands of Palestinians amid Israel’s offensive.

Across Gaza, more than 576,000 people, a quarter of the population, are a step away from famine, the UN says.

But northern Gaza in particular has been gutted by hunger. The north has largely been cut off and much of it has been levelled since Israeli ground troops invaded in late October.

Several hundred thousand Palestinians are believed to remain there, and many have been reduced to eating animal fodder to survive.

A convoy of 31 trucks carrying food entered northern Gaza on Wednesday, the Israeli military office that oversees Palestinian civilian affairs said.

The office, known by the acronym COGAT, said nearly 20 other lorries entered the north on Monday and Tuesday.

Associated Press footage showed people carrying sacks of flour from the distribution site.

It was not immediately clear who carried out the deliveries.

The UN was not involved, said a spokesman for the UN’s humanitarian co-ordination office, Eri Keneko.

The trucks were sent by the Zionists. No other organization was involved. But when people came near to the trucks to collect the food they had carried into Gaza the Zionist went berserk:

‘Massacre’: Dozens killed by Israeli fire in Gaza while collecting food aidAl Jazeerah, Feb 29 2024

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed and some 700 others wounded after Israeli troops opened fire on hundreds waiting for food aid southwest of Gaza City, health officials say, as the besieged enclave faces an unprecedented hunger crisis.

The Gaza Ministry of Health said on Thursday said at least 104 people were killed and more than 750 wounded, with the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemning what it said was a cold-blooded “massacre”.

People had congregated at al-Rashid Street, where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way. Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.

“We went to get flour. The Israeli army shot at us. There are many martyrs on the ground and until this moment we are withdrawing them. There is no first aid,” said one witness.

Reporting from the scene, Al Jazeera’s Ismail al-Ghoul said that after opening fire, Israeli tanks advanced and ran over many of the dead and injured bodies. “It is a massacre, on top of the starvation threatening citizens in Gaza,” he said.

One Palestinian man told Quds News Network the military attack was a “crime”.

“I have been waiting since yesterday. At about 4:30 this morning, trucks started to come through. Once we approached the aid trucks, the Israeli tanks and warplanes started firing at us, as if it was a trap.

“To the Arab states I say, if you want to have us killed, why are you sending relief aid? If this continues, we do not want any aid delivered at all. Every convoy coming means another massacre.

The Zionist are deliberately starving Palestinians.

But this is even worse.

The killing today was not by chance. I do not believe that it was unintentional. The food deliveries were under Israeli controls. So were the troops who killed the Palestinians who tried to collect the 'aid'.

This is not the first time that a food convoy or aid distribution has been used by the Zionists to attract and then kill starving Palestinians.

This is an extremely brutal and cynical way to genocide them.

Israeli Army in Gaza in ‘State of Shock’ – Yedioth Ahronoth
[…] “Following 147 days of combat, the army is experiencing intensifying personnel shortages,” the newspaper reported, highlighting how the Israeli military “is calling for another 7,500 officer and non-commissioned officer positions, while the treasury is currently only approving 2,500”.
“Approximately 582 soldiers have fallen in battle, and several more are physically and psychologically wounded, to the extent that they are unable to return to their roles,” the report added, noting that “a significant number of commanders, who led their troops as expected, also fell in the battles, necessitating training for their replacements.”
Leaked hospital reports and daily videos by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza suggest that the number of Israeli soldiers killed and wounded in Gaza is much higher.
[…] The Israeli army’s losses have increased over the past few days with the intensification of battles with the Palestinian Resistance in the southern Gaza Strip, especially in Khan Yunis.
The Palestinian Resistance groups announced a series of operations and attacks targeting Israeli tanks, military vehicles, and gatherings of soldiers, resulting in a large number of deaths and injuries among its ranks.
Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, has repeatedly stated that the estimates provided by the Israeli army are “unreal,” and that the numbers of casualties are much higher.

*** How do you explain this type of behavior? How do you explain the fact that seemingly normal people –who have jobs, went to college, and probably engage in the same social activities as the rest of us– are capable of such unspeakable cruelty? ….***
Start with a self-appointedly “exceptionalist” religion that declares all non-members to be disposable crap (some sects even getting away with advocacy of enslavement or extermination of such inferiors) … combine that with a society wherein hysteria (originally induced as a means of control by religious manipulators) has long been the default condition … have both religious and non-religious fully accustomed to *any* lie of theirs, however absurd, having *by law* and under threat of severe punishment to be believed by the rest of the world’s population (especially in the West) … internationally, have near as makes no difference total control of the mass-media and financial systems … buy the political systems and politicians, while brainwashing large contingents of the general population of countries not overtly controlled into knee-jerk compliance with what the aforementioned exceptionalist religion plus its equally unhinged secular twin would want them to do and ‘think’ …. and then the “exceptionalists” binge on the positive feedback from all that, which is guaranteed to multiply and intensify their basic delusions.
In summary, they can do what they want (however bad) whenever they want, to anyone and everything and not only get away with it, but with any objection by their victims being suppressed or punished.
Anyone decent in their own populations may be marginalised, attacked or silenced as well.
And of course the psychopaths, megalomanics and hysterics are encouraged to breed as much as possible ….. which increases the threat to everyone else.
The answer to “why such cruelty” is glaringly evident — endless pandering by everyone else to the very worst of a thoroughly nasty and self-serving cultist group will always tend to produce that result.
But in the case of so-called “Jews”, nobody is supposed to notice that.

Hail the self-appointed enslavers of the world, their heads full of shite.
See all the Western heads of government grovel to them….
A reality even more ludicrous than the worst of Hollywood scripts!

It wasn’t that many, Jake. A couple of thousand max, maybe 1500. You can make a crowd look a lot bigger if the photos are from a low angle.

When the western corrupt medias say “thousands”, it means hundreds.
When the western corrupt medias say today the hundreds of people came today to put flowers, it means a few dozens.
Katia made a shutka: 50,000, maybe up to 100,000 that is 0.8% of the population of Moscow.
To listen to western corrupt medias is bad for the mental health.

It is one thing, like Norman Finklestein to criticise the Holocaust Industry. That is both worthwhile and necessary. But to deny the crimes carried out by the Third Reich and its large numbers of allies, including Ukrainians, Rumanians, Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians (the list is very long) is to place yourself in the ranks of humanity’s enemies.

===============
Exactly. The introduction of the word “Holocaust” for the crimes of the Third Reich has just caused confusion. It has created opportunities for people like Earl Jones to present themselves as truth tellers when they are actually not any kind of historian, engage in the most puerile and ill-informed denial, and do not understand the complexities of the actual genocidal policies and activities of the Third Reich and its allies.
Such deniers play right into the hands of the Zionists in both Israel and the diaspora.

According to Haaratz Northern Samaria is going to be under attack soon
The parable of the Good Samaritan is told by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. It is about a traveler (implicitly understood to be Jewish) who is stripped of clothing, beaten, and left half dead alongside the road. First, a Jewish priest and then a Levite come by, but both avoid the man. Finally, a Samaritan happens upon the traveler. Although Samaritans and Jews were generally antagonistic towards each other, the Samaritan helps the injured man. Jesus is described as telling the parable in response to a provocative question from a lawyer, “And who is my neighbor?
