General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: "WATCH: GHF proves IDF did not shoot at innocent Gazans at aid distribution sites" [View all]First of all, the IDF doesn't give away food. Not a morsel of bread. Never has.
Now I understand it is not their responsibility to feed people but it IS their responsibility to ensure aid is allowed to be given by humanitarian agencies.
I try to imagine how I would feel if I were an IDF soldier, well-fed, ordering about and shooting at people that I know haven't had a meal in days. Or watching emaciated children fetching dirty water and carrying the heavy load with their thin arms. I couldn't stomach it. I guess I'd flunk out of the IDF.
There is no date and time-stamp on that video -odd, isn't it? - and it's location has not been confirmed. But if you think there is nothing strange about all that, go ahead.
Yes, starving people are more likely to step over dead bodies to get to food than you and I. But it's not likely they would have had to do so, hours after the event. Even if the video is of the same day and location.
So Hamas snuck into a military zone that was already declared "secure"? Pretty lax of the IDF. With AK- 47s hidden under their clothes? I'm trying to visualize that and I just can't see it. But I don't know much about GD guns, wish they were never invented.
I guess we could argue back and forth all day about which side did it. We'll never find out the truth, that's all I know. There are no foreign press or observers allowed into Gaza and the local ones are mostly dead now. The IDF will "investigate" and then exonerate itself. This time there were no foreign aid workers murdered, only Palestinians.
