World Food Programme suspends staff movements in Gaza after Israeli forces fired on a vehicle near a Gaza checkpoint.

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.

    Zionism being defined as self empowerment and not “manifest destiny 2 : rumble in the Levant” while calling someone who didn’t say anything particularly wrong an antisemite is let’s say odd.

    No one said it was as far as I can tell, they made a comparison. The numbers simply can’t be the same because there aren’t that many Palestinians left because military aged men have been getting murdered or disappeared there for generations at this point.
