  1. It shows that what the EU said was true, israel gov't really want to starve the Palestinians, that even these Israelus activist who want to share foods to Palestinians were blocked by israeli police.
    Maybe it is better if the UN bring peacekeepers in the boundary so that it can escort these people who want to help the hungry people.

  2. Thank you for existing and for showing their existence. We thought by now that Israel had lost all sense of sense, but I’m glad not every Israeli has lost sight of the life we all are part of.

  3. They are not a problem as one of the drivers was shouting in their direction. THEY ARE SOLUTION they see suffering humans and civilians in Palestinians not terrorists. It's not that they forgot October 7th but they don't believe in collective punishment and see beyond it. You are really brave and good people.

  4. No my dear, it is not you, it is them that betrayed israeli, the shody laughable army who is uncapable to protect you from couple of boys with sandals. Not you, you are only trying to be a decent human.

  5. After such sufferings I have not seen palestenians talking bad about israelis or cursing them. This is a huge difference between israelis and palestenians.

  9. meanwhile there are nasty people somehow able to get down to Kerem Shalom crossing blocking aid trucks from getting inside Gaza

  10. The hyocrisy of humanity never fails to amaze me. Too many people will don the robes of religion and claim to be spiritual and moral, because of what they do or don't eat or because of the aimless rituals they perform, and then they will goad on the unthinkable suffering of others.

  14. Israel only allows a limited aid from international countries to enter Gaza, for propaganda reasons that they don’t commit genocide

  17. Go France, Germany from where u came from, let Palestinian live there life
    They don't want your mecry, let them do everything by themselves you will see Palestinian will become paradise again if you do soo

  18. So sad to bad then make a trade hostages for aid Hamas just took all of the other aid and they found it by Israel idf in tunnels also the aid that is good Ven to Gaza their selling it in the streets to other Hamas Palestine people all on videos seen by the world Gaza started this war not Israel free the hostages

  23. See, even the Israeli themselves (who has brain and heart), know their governments are wrong and know who needed help.

    Meanwhile the pro-Nazlonist in other countries still being a fan of s4taNy4hu

  24. I thought it was difficult being a leftist in the southern U.S.! – it's so sad to think that these activists trying to get food to starving people are the minority in Israel. People there have also lost their jobs and been harassed by angry mobs simply for expressing empathy online for suffering children- something is very wrong with such a society. Dehumanizing others never leads to good results.

  25. The good news is that there are still people with morals and a sense of humanity in Israel, although… Maybe most of them are Palestinians living in the occupied Westbank area, or this kindness is just for show.
