At least 20 killed awaiting aid in Gaza as new cease-fire offer debated
At least 20 people were killed and more than 150 wounded late Thursday in what Palestinian officials in Gaza and witnesses said was an Israeli attack on a crowd of people waiting to collect supplies from an aid convoy in the north of the enclave. Israel’s military strongly denied responsibility for the killings in a statement Friday.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Palestinian gunmen opened fire as the crowd gathered and that some civilians had been run over by the aid trucks.

1. And the slaughter goes on

unabated by the rogue State of Israel.

[Beastly Boy]

2. IDF releases video of armed Palestinian shooting at Gazans while waiting for aid

[ColinC]

3. How could anybody think that video proves anything?

[NickB79]

4. You mean, other than the obvious muzzle flashes from gunfire?

Yeah, totally inconclusive

[ColinC]

5. Pretty much. It proves somebody shot at something at some point

With people running from something else entirely. And absolutely no clear indication of location, time, or identification. From this video, there is some indication that people were fleeing something else that was not the person with the circle around them.

I think your sarcasm tag is misplaced

6. It certainly doesn't prove "an Israeli attack on a crowd of people waiting to collect supplies"

What it shows is a March 14 footage at 20:08 local time, about an hour before the alleged shooting, someone who is definitely not an Israeli shooting at a crowd of people. None appear to be waiting to collect supplies.

On the other hand, we have no proof whatsoever from the Hamas authorities to back up their claims of a single Israeli attacking a single Gazan in a crowd of people waiting to collect supplies from an aid convoy.

To paraphrase Chico Marx, who are you going to believe, the terrorists or your lying eyes?

7. Apparently the default position for many is to believe the terrorists over the IDF

You know cuz Hamas is always so truthful like when they said they only attacked military targets across the border and their hospital was blown up by the IDF instead of their own rocket and there was 500 dead Etc

[ColinC]

11. "The terrorists" over "IDF"

Other people might not see much of a difference between the two.

[EX500rider]

12. Yes, that's the people I am talking about

The ones that can't tell a military that tries to minimize civilian casualties Vs a terrorist org that tries to maximize them.

And before you break out the Hamas supplied figures of "30,000 dead!", how many of those are Hamas?
Keeping in mind that Hamas counts 16 to 18yo Hamas dead, killed while launching RPG's and firing rockets at civilian cities as "children"

And the civilian deaths in Gaza have not been at all out of the ordinary for recent wars.

10. "Definitely not an Israeli"

And you decided this arbitrarily based on super grainy footage with nearly no details, how exactly?

[question everything]

8. If they are dead how can they await aid? What kind of a headline is it? and what kind of source?

[Butterflylady]

9. I understand what the headline says.

Can't understand what you mean. 20 people were killed while waiting for aid. Now do you understand.
