World Food Programme suspends staff movements in Gaza after Israeli forces fired on a vehicle near a Gaza checkpoint.

The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced a pause in the movement of its employees in the Gaza Strip “until further notice” after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric blamed Israel for the attack, telling reporters in New York that the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle was “struck 10 times” by Israeli gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.

Five of the bullets were on the driver’s side and some on the windscreen.

Dujarric said the convoy’s movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military and it had clearance to approach.

    Why fucking say shit like this? I know you’re being facetious, but it’s probably better not to say petulant shit like this, especially since you seem to be taking a deliberately antisemitic stance in jest…

      YEAH. THERE’S NOTHING WRONG ABOUT IT. NOT EVEN YOU COULD DENY THAT HE’S GOT A POINT. HE’S TRYING TO CALL OUT THE IRONY OF PEOPLE ARGUING IN SUPPORT OF THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE. WE’RE NOT REALLY MUCH WORSE THAN THE PEOPLE ACTIVELY SUPPORTING AN APARTHEID STATE.
