Months after some Israelis started to protest against aid lorries entering Gaza at the main Kerem Shalom crossing, the battle has moved to other key junctions, where rival groups of activists do their best to block or protect aid convoys.

Right-wing activists, including Jewish settlers living in the occupied West Bank, have uploaded dozens of videos of crowds, including some very young children, hurling food onto the ground and stamping on boxes of aid.

In one video, a group of jubilant protesters dance and celebrate on top of a looted lorry.

In another, one of the stranded lorries is ablaze.

In the West Bank, at least two drivers who were not carrying goods bound for Gaza were dragged from their cabs and beaten.

Other videos show Israeli vigilantes stopping lorries in Jerusalem and demanding that drivers show papers proving they are not transporting aid to Gaza. Their faces are uncovered and they appear to be acting with complete impunity.

    Maybe because they’re busy trying not to die of hunger and avoiding the genocide coming for them.

        What do you think is a higher priority for them right now?

        This is typical “but do you condemn Hamas?” bullshit. Most Palestinians in this world do not support Hamas. But Hamas are not the ones murdering their fellow countrypeople right now.

            That is suggesting that the lives of those hostages is more valuable than the lives of the thousands of innocent Palestinians who have been slaughtered and that is extremely morally dubious as a position.
