Israel attacks first UN humanitarian aid convoy - al Jazeera

Al Jazeera interviews Chris Guinness of the UN Relief Work Agency (UNRWA), which organized the convoy. Before I turned on the camera the anchor asked him something like, "So tell us what happened with the humanitarian aid. How much of this two thousand tons of aid we hear has been let through has actually gotten to where it needs to go?" He answered in disgust something like, "Frankly, zero tons has gotten through because they attacked the convoy." Hopefully you can see the full clip elsewhere. Surely someone will upload it.

Maybe I misunderstood him, but I really think he said none of the aid went through because of the attack. That's not what Israel says though:

The world needs to turn their back on the conflict, and let them keep slaughtering one another, until both sides simply wipe themselves out... But the do gooders just keep on pocking their noses in.They know the risks, why should anyone care...Humanitarianism is big business, they lobby governments around the would for Billions, some organizations own their own ships and truck fleets. They know the dangers when entering a war zone. They either need to learn how to duck, or stay away altogether

Israel's idea was this fucking corridor, and it was the day 1

[Revelation47]

Israel is a pariah state. You live by the sword and you shall die by the sword.

@projustice1 why is it you expect to freely practice your religion but dont allow others to do so.why you rioted for stupid cartoons while did nothing when huge buda was destroyed in afganistan,why protest for human right abuse gaza when all middle east is full of muslims abusing human rights.

[siaisjack]

@projustice1 muslims always depect Israel as the inhumane demon crusher of human rights but who drove them down that path with centuries of hate.why muslims always mention human right in palestine what about human rights for all kafirs leaving in islamic countries,iraq christians killed and persecuted,sudan 200000 dead 3million refuges,nigeria imposition of sharia law on non muslims,jordan iran egypt all infedels labeled and treated as dimmis.priests & writers killed in the streets also in turke

[siaisjack]

@projustice1 I dilike muslims because you are clearly biast when it comes to Israel,Israel was created because in jordan infedels are no citisens they cannot even hold property.So a jewish state was created by UK.Hamas declared purpose is to kill all jews and thats a declaration of war any country in the world is expected to defende itself when rockets are fired into its territry,including turkey which sent jets and its huge army to crush separatist kurds.But israel is expected to do nothing??

@siaisjack

It's not about my opinion and your opinion. The fact is Israel trusts Turkey enough to conduct joint military exercises. Israeli citizens also vacation in Turkey. So your personal dislike for Muslims is irrelevant to this discussion. You should also know that Turkey is the most liberal Islamic country in the world. Check for yourself! To answer your question, I would not have blockaded a civilian population for 2 plus years to start with. It's illegal

[projustice1]

@siaisjack

All raids, boardings and wars are done based on some form of intelligence. So did Israel find any weapons, terrorists or illegal goods? The answer is NO on all three counts. Second, Israel's blockade on the Gaza strip has been going on for at least 2 years. So why would aid be delivered from Europe when Israel could deliver some from Egypt through ITS Airport? It would be cheaper right!

The truth is Israel wants to starve the ppl into a conflict they cannot win PERIOD,

@Itesteditempirically My brother, if Israel realise at last that Palestinians are humans like all of us, and if they idmit that they can live peacefully like true neighbourgs with them, then Global Peace in the Ecumene is going to come true. I hope God will open their minds. Peace !

[Eadhmonn]

Hey, Just cut the bullshit out, it is clear that everyone in the Arab Islamic Terrorist camp will do anything to shed a negative light on Israel, They've been at this every opportunity possible, WE KNOW WHATS REALLY GOING ON HERE-screw the Palestinians, and all of their cohorts.
