Holocaust Survivor Mr. Rene Lichtman: “Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza. We’ve got to fight back.” An expert who survived the Nazi genocide might know something about this issue. (Credit: World Socialist Website)

US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), an Ashkenazi Jew who lost relatives in the Holocaust, issued this statement on 18 Nov 2024:

"Continuing to provide Israel with the offensive weapons it uses on civilians is morally wrong."

Palestinian children line up for food in Deir el-Balah, Gaza Strip, on 17 Oct 2024. The UN warns of an imminent famine in Gaza this winter. When civilians die of starvation, disease, untreated wounds, or exposure to extreme cold, this is called “NHI" or "No Humans Involved." This is why medical personnel and facilities are targeted.

Virtually no aid has reached besieged north Gaza in 40 days, UN says [View all] muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 OP

Bibi wants money, but wants roadblocks to getting Palestinians aid. Omnipresent Nov 20 #1

I'd think Palestinian leadership should be questioned jimfields33 Nov 20 #2

Can they hear the questions around the explosions and ambulance sirens? Omnipresent Nov 20 #3

Yes they can. Even from Turkey, or Qatar, or from wherever they are hiding. Beastly Boy Nov 20 #24

What are you trying to say? Omnipresent Nov 20 #55

I am trying to answer your question. Beastly Boy Nov 20 #57

You can't send in aid from the West Bank without getting past the Israeli soldiers muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 #4

The convoys are getting past Israeli soldiers allright! They are being left undelivered and looted Beastly Boy Nov 20 #27

Except that is not what news reports say. For instance, the one in the OP. (nt) muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 #31

Don't believe your lyin eyes Beastly Boy Nov 20 #35

The Kerem Shalom crossing is in southern Gaza muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 #37

"Order-enforcing replacements". What a pretty euphemism! Beastly Boy Nov 20 #42

Not a euphemism. As Haaretz wrote, muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 #46

What made them "local police", other than the guns? Beastly Boy Nov 20 #49

Bollocks. muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 #52

Who identified them as police, and on what grounds? Beastly Boy Nov 20 #53

Where would they get supplies to take care of people? womanofthehills Nov 20 #14

On the Gaza side of the border. Tons of supplies are stuck in Gaza and remain undelivered Beastly Boy Nov 20 #29

The warehouses under Israeli control? muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 #34

Bernie is working on part of that - womanofthehills Nov 20 #9

Trucks are often blocked at border womanofthehills Nov 20 #10

Hamas is just terrible. jimfields33 Nov 20 #11

But you fail to mention Israel drones womanofthehills Nov 20 #16

Israel is supplying the food. Would be weird for them to destroy it. jimfields33 Nov 20 #19

Israel doesn't supply the food. The UN does. NGOs do. Israel then decides if they block it or not. muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 #22

It is not Hamas, it is criminal gangs looting right under the IDF's noses. AloeVera Nov 20 #23

Yes, more questions. Imagine IDF interfering with the looting in any way. Beastly Boy Nov 20 #39

So they shoot at Palestinian policemen trying to prevent the looting instead? N/T. AloeVera Nov 20 #40

Yes. Yes they do. Look up the rules governing enemy combatants in the Geneva Conventions. Beastly Boy Nov 20 #45

I don't think the 2 sides went to the aid trucks hand-in-hand. AloeVera Nov 20 #48

Regardless of what you think, Beastly Boy Nov 20 #50

You can have all the trucks in the world but if they deny the request for the access it does no good. moniss Nov 20 #13

Now drones are destroying the aid womanofthehills Nov 20 #15

Pure sadistic barbarism. AloeVera Nov 20 #18

The BBC really left a lot out in this article Mosby Nov 20 #6

Horrible. They were voted in to take care of their population jimfields33 Nov 20 #8

Wow! And you read this where? womanofthehills Nov 20 #17

Still doesn't excuse the Palestinian government from negligence. jimfields33 Nov 20 #20

It's criminal gangs allowed to loot by the IDF. AloeVera Nov 20 #38

That was in central and southern Gaza, not northern, so it's not the story the BBC was reporting muriel_volestrangler Nov 20 #12
