EuroMed human rights monitor reports:

When the first groups arrived, Israeli tanks were already stationed in the area. Soldiers then used loudspeakers to command: “Raise your hands and walk in front of the tanks—those who want flour, come forward.” Around 200 civilians complied.

As they neared the aid trucks, Israeli forces suddenly opened heavy fire directly at their heads, instantly killing dozens. Others were left crawling, wounded, and bleeding. The massacre left 80 dead and over 520 injured, many of whom are in critical condition.

Notably, these attacks coincide with the peak of mass starvation across the Gaza Strip, where deaths from malnutrition are now documented and dozens have been hospitalised due to exhaustion and lack of food.

Without having to verify the claim, that it's plausible is bad enough.

Substitute another military and see how it tracks.

The British SAS lined up...

Nope, doesn't track.

America’s done it. Heck, the US nuked two cities, among other massacres in various eras, too.

That's why I didn't use the US as the counter example.

The SAS don’t leave witnesses when they commit war crimes.

It was about the perception and deliberately not about the fact.

Given it's the perception I'm talking about then effectively covering it up counts.

They’ve also been accused of massacres of British citizens in the not too distant past.
