Well I think they don't verbally support the right of Palestinian self determination. Because if it were a right it would not be negotiable, or an end result of negotiation. Even if they want a peace process leading to a two state solution they don't recognise Palestine in the immediate, whereas they do of course recognise Israel in a way that is non-negotiable. This is also why the phrase "from the river to the sea" is considered beyond the pale but only from the Palestinian side.

I don't think the IDF killed many if at all just let an aid convoy into a crowd of starving people with absoultely no security (because they know the IDF would kill them ) then sit back and watch the chaos
possibly fire a few warning shots to start the stampede sit back and laugh

Anyone listening to R4 just now? Palestinian writer/journalist (described as respected by the BBC) who was in the food queue, unambiguously saying IDF opened fire on the crowd, not in the air. Followed by IDF spokesperson who was asked again and again what threat the IDF felt they were under - refused to answer the question.
Just in case there's anyone out there who has doubts this was a war crime and a continuing act of genocide.
Firing on a queue/crowd of starving people. Seems pretty close to an act of fascism to me.
And yet those posters who left this thread, some left the website, still refusing to engage. If it was an American mass shooting this incident alone would have produced page after page of (rightful) condemnation by all and sundry.
Why the fuck are some people too scared to even condemn a hideous crime perpetrated by a state?

Though that is possible, it's not what happened. The evidence, the people turning up at hospital with gunshot wounds, the eyewitness accounts, says otherwise.
Yes...well there are numbers of dead with bullets in their heads. So...I don't think the IDF killed many if at all just let an aid convoy into a crowd of starving people with absoultely no security (because they know the IDF would kill them ) then sit back and watch the chaos

I agree the IDF probably fired first and triggered a stampede that way, but I rather doubt that it was a few warning shots. 100+ wounded with gunshot wounds and another hundred dead suggests sustained fire over a period of time, as does the stampede itself (since they'd all be running in a similar direction away from the fire).

Have you actually seen any of the footage?

IMO, even if things went as in your description, the IDF killed those people. Start a panic in a crowd like that, and you're responsible.

Even if the IDF wasn't there at all, they created they're the reason people are desperate and starving in the first place.
But the IDF was there, with guns, and then people got shot.

As the International Rescue Committee say: "airdrops are not the solution to relieve this suffering, and distract time and effort from proven solutions to help at scale".Biden announces U.S. will airdrop food aid into Gaza as famine concerns grow

This air dropped aid is just a spectacle to provide cover against outrage in an election year that the US are enabling the genocidal denial of food to the Gazan population.
Rather that politely requesting Israel stops the killing for six weeks, in the face of Netanyahu's government clearly doing everything it can to undermine ceasefire negotiations, he could force it if he actually wanted to.
The clock is ticking down to Ramadan - 8 days to go - when the Israelis have said they'll invade Rafah, which everyone knows will result in the slaughter of innocents on a massive scale. It's not time to call for a ceasefire; it's time to make it happen.

Germany as well as Israel now up in front of the ICJ.
In Gemany case for supporting Genocide
Good. Way German politicians and government have been going on glad Nicaragua have filed this.
The provisional measures would be to halt any military aid from Germany to Israel I assume.

A panic leading to a stampede is quite probable. However I think I heard early 80% of those killed or injured had bullet wounds. I’m guessing the stampeding panicking starving crowd didn’t start shooting themselves.

According to the ever-despicable Mark Regev, currently special advisor to Netanyahu: "In the incident of the truck being swarmed there was gunfire, that was Palestinian armed groups. We don't know if it was Hamas or others."

The No Thanks app which was initially removed from both Google Play and the App store has been reinstated by both. It scans barcodes to give the country of origin thus giving you the choice to purchase or not depending on where it's from.
Thanks for that..
I don't know that I could use it as most my shopping is done online.
I've looked online and found some useful mini posters. Might post them to a new thread. I'll include your reference to the app..thanks.

To add the funding to UNWRA is part of the funding. Some is being withheld to later date:
So rest of the funding is conditional.
Personally I'm not impressed by EU attitude. UNWRA people on the ground have been killed by IDF. UNWRA is under intense pressure due to the humanitarian crisis. A lot of Palestinians depend on UNWRA across West Bank and Gaza due to actions of Israeli state over the years. The blockade of Gaza for years meant UNWRA was more needed by a lot of Palestinians due to effect on economy of the the blockade.
Yet EU and some member states have chosen this time to question UNWRA not the conditions that led UNWRA to play an important and necessary role in keeping Palestinians going. Conditions caused by State of Israel actions over the years.
