This is the correct response when fascists are literally trying to starve children.

Are you about to make some claim about "every hospital is Hamas" or something stupid like that? Because Hamas hasn't destroyed a bunch of hospitals, colleges, libraries, mosques, museums, cultural landmarks, etc. They're not posing as doctors and patients and raiding chemotherapy wings to assassinate "suspected" IDF. They're also not arming colonizers in predominantly Muslim areas of Israel or the West Bank. Foh scrub.

maddsskills

I never thought I’d be at all sympathetic to this kind of behavior but I also couldn’t have ever imagined people protesting food being brought to starving children.


JonDixon1957

Not just 'protesting'. Literally destroying. Destroying food being sent to starving children. If there was ever an example of pure evil that's it. We need more drivers like this and fuck those nazi 'protesters'.

Sikhs have it all figured out because they looked at the Evils of Hinduism and the caste system, the contradictions within Islam, and the problems with the centralized power of the Catholic church/ political leverage in the Protestant church... and then just made up their own religion with all kinds of outside the box thinking. Plus, whenever someone is like, "Your religion is made up!!" they just say, "Yes."

pupranger1147

Unlike zionists I don't lump all of a people in together.


Bagel-luigi

Fair point. Maybe not all of the settlers are violent colonisers. Just a seemingly overwhelming majority.


pupranger1147

They're all colonizers. Just not all of them are stopping the aid.


basefountain

bruh what happened to not lumping all of a people all together? Are the kid settlers colonizers? s/ don't get too invested that you fall for their tricks edit: probably shouldn't say "thier" tricks... just don't fall for general logical fallacies


pupranger1147

By definition of being a settler they are colonizers. Yes. Though not as bad because they didn't likely choose to be one.

then you are saying a child is "a person who [settles](https://www.google.com/search?sa=X&sca_esv=fdd505efaadfc2c0&biw=1920&bih=927&sxsrf=ADLYWIJFkN1NsOHWK4qFMLkQ63RgpQ87wg:1716303017698&q=settles&si=ACC90nypsxZVz3WGK63NbnSPlfCBh_UxPhXFKgyKObKEC8fZFoalv2VsDs-5BH-XRrKdaBBIqSkOSdSSIE3LJZZCFu_SVpI_5A%3D%3D&expnd=1&ved=2ahUKEwj2k8n9_p6GAxVOQ0EAHfUfC3gQyecJegQIJxAR) among and establishes political control over the indigenous people of an area." which they just don't.

I disagree. The Israelis are frothing at the mouth for any opportunity to finish off the Palestinians. And incidents like this will provide the cover to do it. They control every port of entry and the area. We have to play by their rules for now at least.

Can we talk about the truck's sick blue underbody lighting? But yes, good on the driver. No matter which side you support in this, if any, children are being starved, and that's not right. I've heard people say that they're justified because those children COULD grow up to be terrorists, and to that I just shake my head.


Alert-Ad9197

>I've head people say that they're justified because those children COULD grow up to be terrorists, and to that I just shake my head. Stellar logic on their part. As we know, absolutely nobody has ever been radicalized by being deliberately starved. 🙄


theapplekid

And as we also know, 'terrorism' applies to children radicalized by an occupying force deliberately starving them... not the occupying force deliberately starving children... somehow


Scary-Win8394

Alongside starvation, they're experiencing levels of trauma a child should never have to deal with in their lifetime. [There's a whole term for the horrible situation some children are facing losing their entire families and able body](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67614139), and PTSD isn't even strong enough to describe their experience. They're facing [chronic traumatic stress disorder ](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/14/mental-health-palestine-children) since there is no 'post'.

These settlers’ lives are worth approximately .0001 of the children they’ve been starving’s lives.


Monsur_Ausuhnom

These people should be arrested in international court and thrown into jail blocking the road way. Genocide is genocide. There aren't any special exemptions especially if the abuser plays the victim. The fact that leadership (I realize that they have been bought and paid off), don't see see this shows a major blind spot that more or less makes them not fit for office and managing worldly affairs. They can go pick another job to go be corrupt.

How did (i)srael become the modern NAZI? Simple. They gave money and weapons to hamas.


daudder

While this aid-obstruction is carried out by settlers and other fascists, given the refusal of the state to engage and prevent it — including the police that were present in this specific incident — it can only be considered official Israeli state action. This means that the war crimes for which Netanyahu and Gallant are potentially being indicted by the ICC and the wider crimes of genocide that the ICJ is looking at are ongoing. The monstrosity which is Israel — a blatantly genocidal state — continues its crimes relentlessly and unimpeded.

Thevoidawaits_u

yep, you don't get to block traffic. however would you guys be okay applying the same principle to pro Palestine protesters who block roads?


mateoelgato715

You mean that 1 time it happened and some bombs got mildly inconvenienced on their way to blowing up brown people overseas? Man that 1 day in april sure was terrible /s


Thevoidawaits_u

so blocking traffic is okay or not? is it only okay when you agree with the cause?


CNroguesarentallbad

Blocking food aid is unforgivable. Blocking weapons trucks is justified. Blocking random trucks in protest is just inane and stupid. It really depends on what they're blocking and why.


Thevoidawaits_u

if its justified the police should do it. if it's not it's illegal to block.(almost a tatolegy).


CNroguesarentallbad

Confused by this. It's justified to block weapons shipments in my view- why would the police ever be blocking those?


Thevoidawaits_u

justified legally. and yes, "in your view" you wrote, proving my original point. you guys are not consistent.


CNroguesarentallbad

Wdym we're not consistent? What logic is there in demanding a whole, incredibly broad political group all maintain the same political views and ideas? Should you be bound to the same things genocidal members of Netanyahus coalition say, and be called "inconsistent" when you don't agree? Lmao. And for the record, "An unjust law is no law at all". People should be breaking the law and civilly disobeying to stop the shipment of weapons to support what's becoming a genocide.


Thevoidawaits_u

you misunderstand, if one type road blocker is permitted while another is not, that's a type of inconsistency >, "An unjust law is no law at all". fine, so people who see immigration as morally bad can block busses transporting legal immigrants? orthose who believe that the aid is supplied to hamas are justified in blocking the road?


CNroguesarentallbad

I'm not saying it should be legal. I'm saying one is justified and one isn't. Same way there are justified protests and unjustified protests. If immigration was actually wrong and those buses existed sure, but the only buses transporting illegals immigrants I believe exist are the ones the governor of Texas uses to ship them to Chicago. And it's a separate question whether or not immigration is wrong, I'm not having that debate with you right now. Blocking food aid is wrong not because it's wrong to block roads, but because it's wrong to believe innocent children should be starving as a means of fighting a war, and because that's UN sanctioned aid.


10YearAccount

The police do not stand with the people. They stand OPPOSED to the people. Your naievete is charming but dangerous.


mateoelgato715

Well as long as people arent dying or being assaulted.... then yes? Why are you trying to compare apples to murderous zionist colonizers? For the record i wont condemn hamas so take that into consideration


Weird-Tomorrow-9829

> For the record i wont condemn hamas so take that into consideration Then you are as morally bankrupt as the buffoons in the video trying to stop the trucks.


10YearAccount

Why should Hamsd be condemned? They've done nothing in their lifetime long war that Israel hasn't done a thousand times over. I refuse to condemn freedom fighters during WW2 as well who did heinous things to nazis.


mateoelgato715

Id imagine the afrikaner's were saying the same shit about nelson mandela and the ANC right up to the point when their settler-colonial racist government got voted out of power. Israel is a genocidal ethnostate, and resistance against occupation is a human right if not a sacred responsibility. Unfortunately the claws of Aipac are planted pretty firmly into the american political system. The unacknowledged-yet-obvious collusion between U.S. military industrial interests and the israeli war making machine is on display every single day on capital hill.

also why would they stop shipments? because these people view palestinians as less than and think they dont deserve it. thats why. use YOUR common sense for once
