Outrage without action is tacit approval.
Israel’s siege of Gaza has created what aid officials are referring to as “man-made starvation”, with the territory facing the threat of mass deaths from famine with children already dying from hunger.
In March, the international court of justice ordered Israel to allow unimpeded access of food aid into Gaza, where sections of the population are facing imminent starvation.
Aid efforts have been further complicated by the temporary closure of the headquarters of the main channel for humanitarian support for Palestinians after weeks of violent protests and arson attacks by Israeli right-wingers.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees announced it was closing its East Jerusalem headquarters on Thursday after a fresh attack by what Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the agency, described as “Israeli extremists”.
The most infuriating part is all it takes to stop this is foreign countries cutting off aid to Israel.
If their allies left them, they'd do a 180 and kick out the current government and beg for peace. Because the only way you can do this horrible fucked up shit is if everyone around you is too scared to attack.
They should send them a sternly worded letter.
Good for the White House.
If only there was some foreshadowing!
Which civilian attack was this?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The White House has condemned an attack on an aid convoy heading to Gaza by Israeli settlers who threw packages of food into the road and set fire to the vehicles.
“It is a total outrage that there are people who are attacking and looting these convoys coming from Jordan, going to Gaza to deliver humanitarian assistance,” US national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters.
“But at the time we put that report forward, we felt that there was sufficient work being done by the Israeli government with respect to the facilitation of humanitarian aid, that we did not make a judgment that anything had to be done in terms of US assistance.”

The original article contains 584 words, the summary contains 205 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
stern looks abound
And if those Settlers do that 3 or 4 thousand more times Biden MIGHT have to STERNLY write a LETTER to BIBI and include with their next Weapons Shipment!
