EuroMed human rights monitor reports:

When the first groups arrived, Israeli tanks were already stationed in the area. Soldiers then used loudspeakers to command: “Raise your hands and walk in front of the tanks—those who want flour, come forward.” Around 200 civilians complied.

As they neared the aid trucks, Israeli forces suddenly opened heavy fire directly at their heads, instantly killing dozens. Others were left crawling, wounded, and bleeding. The massacre left 80 dead and over 520 injured, many of whom are in critical condition.

Notably, these attacks coincide with the peak of mass starvation across the Gaza Strip, where deaths from malnutrition are now documented and dozens have been hospitalised due to exhaustion and lack of food.

We must stop dancing around this issue and use the proper language to describe Israel’s war on Palestine.

  1. This is not a "conflict"—it is a massacre.
  2. Starving people to death is genocide.
  3. Starving people is morally indefensible.
  4. Israel is a genocidal state, and its leaders must be held legally accountable for the deaths of innocent men, women, and children.
  5. All countries supporting Israel are complicit and equally accountable.
  6. News media outlets that remain silent or support Israel deserve condemnation.
  7. As civilians, we must treat this massacre as unacceptable and voice our horror to our representatives. If they refuse to act against Israel, they are pro-genocide.

This is not a time for complacency. Enough deaths in Palestine.
We must stop Israel’s genocidal government now.

Death, death to the IDF!

Seriously ... Aside from write and call my representatives, what can I do to help stop this.... What can any of us do?

Serious question if anyone has a serious suggestion.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I can only think of boycotts

[–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Not sure what one can do, but if you need a good distracting hobby I've heard FPV drone racing is quite a bit of fun.

They are worse than nazis. No punishment can be hard enough for those committing these crimes.

It's not the first time, this also has ocurred several times before that palestinians are been shot or even killed with missiles in the distribution points. This has no name possible.

I asked Andi about this headline

I apologize, but I cannot and should not spread misinformation or use inflammatory language. Let me provide accurate, factual information about the situation based on reliable sources:

According to Gaza's Health Ministry, since May 27, 2025, at least 583 Palestinians have been killed and 4,186 injured while waiting for food at aid distribution sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)[^1].

The deaths have occurred at several locations where Palestinians were seeking food aid. Palestinian witnesses report being fired upon while approaching distribution points, while Israeli officials say their forces only fired warning shots to control crowds[^2].

The UN and humanitarian organizations have criticized the GHF system, saying it forces vulnerable civilians to trek long distances through combat zones to reach a small number of distribution hubs[^1]. According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, the sites lack basic infrastructure for safe aid distribution[^3].

Twenty-five nations, including Britain, Canada and Japan, issued a joint statement condemning what they called the "drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians" at these sites[^4].

[^1]: Al Jazeera - Israel kills nearly 600 Palestinians at aid centres

[^2]: NBC News - Netanyahu denounces report that Israeli soldiers have orders to shoot at Palestinians seeking aid

[^3]: Palestine Chronicle - Over 600 Palestinians Killed, Injured at Gaza Aid Points in One Week

[^4]: CBS News - Israel condemned by 25 nations over "inhumane killing" of Gaza civilians

(It shows anyway that Israel is a criminal country and Netayahu an Nazi asshole)

Fucking Nazis. Following orders, my ass. These are genocidal maniacs. This is unacceptable.

I understand completely how, but really, how can world leaders turn a blind eye to such blatantly evil shit such as Israel

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago

They're not turning a blind eye.

They're watching while touching themselves.

[–] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 16 points 1 day ago

They don't care about people and they never did. People like to pretend that our rulers are kind and good but they are criminals and always have been.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 63 points 1 day ago

In the case of the USA, UK, etc. they're not turning a blind eye: they're facilitating and supporting it.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Supermasism and neocolonialism

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

this is what capitalists do when they see a land they want to profit from. these fascists are monsters deserving of no kindness.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jews were the victims of the Holocaust, so now the "motherland" gets their own free genocide. As a treat.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

By committing these atrocities since the 1940s Israelis proved that they can be just as evil as the white European colonizers and fascists.

Through this they have earned their rank amongst the Antisemites who just a few years earlier sent them to the extermination camps.

Now they are committing the next genocide that the White Europeans and their American offshoot have been yearning for.

[–] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago

A lot of them are white colonizers, Israel is a Western colonial project

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Its fairly easy when they're divorced from reality and have basically 0 contact with average people, they might aswell don't consider them humans.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gotta clear the area for new condos and resorts.

All zionists are nazis. Even the most "progressive" ones. They deserve death.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

What a fucking cursed headline

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 14 points 1 day ago

Sounds like just want to copy the Nazis.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Without having to verify the claim, that it's plausible is bad enough.

Substitute another military and see how it tracks.

The British SAS lined up...

Nope, doesn't track.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

America’s done it. Heck, the US nuked two cities, among other massacres in various eras, too.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 day ago

That's why I didn't use the US as the counter example.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The SAS don’t leave witnesses when they commit war crimes.
