The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have said they carried out an airstrike on a humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza aimed at “armed assailants” trying to hijack it but the charity that organised the aid said people killed in the strike were employees of the transport company it was working with.

The convoy, organised by the US-based NGO Anera, was carrying medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah on Thursday evening at the time of the attack. Its route had been coordinated in advance with the IDF, under a deconfliction process intended to prevent aid vehicles being bombed.

Anera’s Palestine country director, Sandra Rasheed, said: “This is a shocking incident. The convoy, which was coordinated by Anera and approved by Israeli authorities, included an Anera employee who was fortunately unharmed.

      Because the Christians love it. They get to move the clock forward on their rapture and see Muslims die. They consider it a fantastic thing. Because they’re monsters.

              Which was allowed under Congress’s authorization. The president can’t sell weapons to just anyone. Well unless they’re part of the Republican cult.

                  Where did I try to absolve him? I think it was wrong that he did it. But it’s still falls to the congress. Why do you always have to rely on strawman and arguing things that people never said? Well I mean besides the fact that you’re likely a foreigner who has no idea what they’re talking about.

                  Stop being a cunt mate.

                    You literally said

                    Congress arms them. It has little to nothing to do with the president.

                    Well I mean besides the fact that you’re likely a foreigner who has no idea what they’re talking about.

                    Stop being a cunt mate.

                    Calm down there Donald, the evil foreigners aren’t out to get you.

                    Blue MAGA is so real.

            The founding father and first president of Palestine, Raj Amin Al-Huseni, was a member of the richest land owning family in palestine, a family who earned it’s wealth by being given the throne of jerusalem in a wedding present when the patriarch of the al-huseni clan, Husayn ibn Ali married the profit Muhammad’s daughter Fatima.

            The profit Muhammad owned the throne of Jerusalem after migrating from the Arabian Penninsula and conquering it from the natives.

            Oh, Raj is a title. It comes from the Sanskrit word ‘raja,’ which means ‘prince.’

            Raj Amin Al-Huseni was an islamic royalist, and next in line to inherit the kingdom of jersuem to rule as a king.

      Because the primary export of the US, in terms of percentage of GDP at least, is weapons.
