CNN has seen correspondence between the UN and the Israeli military that show the convoy’s route was agreed upon by both parties prior to the strike.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And by naval gunfire no less! At a stationary truck. At a check point!
At first I thought they were lost shots but apparently israel is shooting at them from the coastline.
This also explains where many of the gunfire comes from when we see videos of Palestinians who try to get aid getting shot at. Likely they are israeli Terrorist boats shooting at civilians.
When it happened there were tons of people commenting that it was probably cut open with a knife and looted. As if all the holes to the left and top left weren't bullet holes. As if the whole reason people would even be so desperate to loot for food has nothing to do with Israel.
Probably Hamas was hiding inside. /s
Aged cheese is old enough to be a terrorist!
But only if it is above four.
Guys, I don't know if any of you are noticing, but I think Israel might be the bad guys.
We're judging too quickly. We need a year of investigations to make sure it was a single rogue sailor. In the meantime the ship is ordered to remain close to the checkpoint and keep that sailor on gun duty. We pinky promise they won't do it again. Just make sure to park on the X.
Why the hell are the World presidents not doing anything against this?
Like anything. All they do is talking, talking and talking but zero fucking actions.
The horrendous shit Israel been doing for decades has been well documented. This current genocide is being well documented.
It is happening in front of everyone’s eyes but nothing.
Israel government shouts “antisemitism” and putting on a star from WW2 on its chest and play the victim card. Yet the world presidents seems to not want to realize Hamas only exists and got immensely radical because of Israel actions.
Hamas wouldn’t even have existed if Israel didn’t stole the land.
This world is just so damned.
Short answer? Money. The “west’s” geopolitical agenda relies on Israel to be a stronghold of their fucked up values in the Middle East. Israel gets cover for their insane genocidal shit like this, they get to act like a superpower in the middle of the second least geopolitically powerful region of the world, the us and the EU get their ally, the defense contractors get a bunch of money. They all win.
Money. It’s all money and power. They’ve proven over and over again that none of them give a shit about the Palestinian people. They’re still refusing to condemn Israel, but they are trying to delicately play both sides by being “disappointed” or whatever politically expedient statements they make while fully funding and ultimately defending…well, genocide. It’s genocide.
You do realise that a lot of countries have parliamentary republic form of government and presidents of those countries don't have real power, right?
Why the hell are the World presidents not doing anything against this?
While I'm no scholar, I really think it's a geo-political issue. If the West doesn't support Israel, then Russia will and gain considerable power in the Middle East. It's the only reason I can think of. Any one have any ideas?
I don't know that it matters anymore. This so clearly breaks with stated American values that's it's now just a matter of time before we break ties with Israel. I'm willing to bet the Russians and Chinese are already setting up shop there.
Russia and China have both condemned Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and called for ceasefires. On the other hand, the US is actively funding the genocide. That’s US values.
Yeah I get that. And there's going to be an internal reckoning over those values too. You can't tell entire generations of people that we're the good guys and genocide is a bad guy thing and not have a consequence.
This is literally the doing of a tiny group of Americans that can't really be touched until this upcoming November. I'm partially just sitting here in horror watching Biden shoot himself in the foot repeatedly.
And while Russia and China have made statements condemning Israel, if we managed to convince Biden to cut them loose, they'd be there in an instant. It's all an influence game.
Russia is more or less openly supporting Hamas and China is choosing a transparent and clumsy policy of endearing themselves with the global South by only condemning Israel and not even mentioning Hamas. Neither nation should be admired for what they are doing.
Unironicallt I think mossad got some crazy black mail on them
Israeli forces fired on a United Nations convoy
Because the good guys usually fire upon UN personnel carrying humanitarian goods.
What the fuck. I can't believe nobody cares about this, they fired on the UN
