"The word 'apartheid' is exactly accurate…they are absolutely & totally separated…the Israelis completely dominate the life of the Palestinian people."
"There are powerful political forces in America that prevent any objective analysis…"

this is the most pathetic thing i’ve ever read, just fucking use your leverage against Israel to open the goddamn roads and stop sabotaging aid delivery with fake bureaucracy
Here is a play-by-play of just a small part of what @CNN has shamelessly called a "chaotic incident" in northern Gaza today:
-Aid arrives in the distance
-Israel begins shooting at the masses they've starved
-People run and duck
-A man asks the videographer "what are you even filming?"
-Another picks up his food that he dropped while running for his life
-It appears that a young man hunches over his aid as another reassures him "it's full, it's full" (presumably to get him to pick himself up and run to safety)
-Someone yells "run!"
-A mother yells out for her daughter, screaming that she is lost
Israel is starving Gaza and massacred over 100 Palestinians. People waited days for a vital lifeline and risked their lives to feed their families as Israel villainously shot at them. CNN calls this a "chaotic incident."
