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.

      We all get it. It’s a shit sandwich. But doing nothing isn’t a noble choice either.

      The problem is that the other party doesn’t seem to be against it

      The choice is, would you rather eat shit, or eat shit marinated in vomit?

        I see it more as, “we have to vote out Hitler! We’re keeping the concentration camps, but Hitler HAS TO GO!”

        I also love Kamala’s “🥺we need to save abortion🥺”, when the democrat president she is vice to is doing nothing. If Biden can’t do anything, how can you?

        And if Biden can do anything, he’s withholding that action for votes? Women are fucking dying and they’re using their lives as bargaining chips. Disgusting.
