Israeli protesters block aid to Gaza as starvation looms | DW News

The UN is warning of widespread famine in Gaza, with one in four people facing starvation, as food deliveries struggle to get through.
The majority of aid trucks cross through Rafah, on Egypt's border with Gaza. But heavy bombardment is hampering efforts. Following US pressure, Israel opened the former goods crossing at Kerem Shalom, as well as an inspection station at Nitzana. Both have been blocked by Israeli protests. DW’s Rebecca Ritters reports from the port city of Ashdod.

Is blocking aid from reaching starving, diseased, injured and vulnerable people an act of terrorism and/or genocide?

[jvm-tv]

Am I anti-Semitic if I say blocking food and medicine to the most starved people on earth is evil?

[tanyam]

We always blame Netanyahu and Israeli Governmen but seeing these ordinary Israeli protesters who've blocked aid... I don't know... Scary to admit but Israeli citizens aren't that far from their leaders.

[lamourouxhugues]

i'm French and shocked to watch this french speaking woman blocking civilian aid to Gaza. If she has a french nationality, French autorities should prosecute her for this crime.. in France, by the law, it is a crime to not help someone in danger.. not even talking about putting someone in danger. criminal

[heitoramos]

Calling them monsters are a real insult to the monsters.

[rashomon]

Do we still need to keep supporting Israel because of our past, when Israel politics becomes quite close to what we despise of our past ?

[jshMan]

She looks like she has never missed a meal.

[orooropaa]

Imagine what the world reaction would be if it was the Israelis being denied aid.

[Onequietvoice]

The Israeli people have lowered the bar for humane conduct to the ground.

[BillySaturday]

take away her French passport immediately.

[sami]

Have you ever wondered what a society of psychopaths look like? Here you have it!

[abk]

How can the so-called chosen ones be so evil? Chosen by who and for what?

[ragingmonk]

As an American I want no more American aid to Israel. Not one penny.

[chow-chihuang]

If they’re so concerned about diversion of aid inside Gaza, why don’t they help distribute it inside Gaza?

[tcibeatrecords]

If this is your stance on blocking humanitarian efforts in feeding families. Should Americans protesters blcok aid to Isarel in this manner also?

[diegoCavalera]

I just hope the world don’t forget their actions and treat them accordingly for generations to come.

[VoiceSriLanka]

Imagine she is not even born in Israel and she is there firefight against the rightful owners

[pongang]

It is devilish to stop hungry people from eating.
