The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

This is like Mars Attacks when they're walking around with the translator saying "we come in peace" while blasting the shit out of every human they find.

Since February 9, the average number of trucks that entered Gaza daily was about 55, compared with 500 that used to enter before the start of the conflict, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Source

They're trying so hard guys

A lot of those trucks are trying to enter through Egypt, not Israel.

Indeed so why does israel assume control over it?

Rafah Border Crossing

Egypt controls the crossing but imports through the Rafah crossing require Israeli approval

Which Israel repeatedly bombed when Egypt let trucks enter.

I think they’re confusing bullets and bombs with aid.

The soldiers confused bread with guns so it is actually plausible

[–] mea_rah 9 points 8 months ago

Perhaps they are talking about Molotov bread baskets.

People won't starve if they're dead.

4 - Lies

3 - Damn dirty lies

2 - Statistics

1 - Israel saying it's trying to flood Gaza with aid

[–] Darkard 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Missed the end of the headline

Israel says it is trying to flood Gaza with aid from hydro engineers and a Dam Busters documentary

Yeah sure, they are deffo trying to flood so much aid by rejecting most of the aid that’s trying to come to the country. Absolutely not an attempt to commit genocide to the Palestinian ppl whatsoever.

This has very "I have tons of black friends" vibes.

[–] Therealgoodjanet 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sure, if bombs count as aid…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Entropic charity

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

"Aid" means "Bombs" in Hebrew. Hope that clears it up

[–] SarcasticMan 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Death, the greatest aid of all.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I guess you can't starve if you're dead from a gunshot wound.

[–] SarcasticMan 6 points 8 months ago

You are not cold, hungry, or sick if you are dead.

Thanos style aid
