The Israeli military fired warning shots at a large delegation of European and Arab diplomats on an official visit to the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, drawing swift condemnation.

Delegations from more than 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada and others, were on an official mission to see the humanitarian situation in the besieged camp, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which called the incident a “deliberate and unlawful act.”

Videos on social media show delegation members giving media interviews when shots are heard ringing out close to the group and forcing it to run for cover.

    Sanctioning? Put fucking boots on the ground and start shooting back. These people are literally psychotic monsters. And they need to be put down.

      In an ideal world yes, but we’re talking about an extremist government that has some of the world’s heaviest weapons as well as nukes. And given their decades long bleating like sheep about how they’re the victims they will no doubt burn the world before that happens.

      I’d love nothing more than to have a court order the two populations to swap places, to see how they like living in an open air prison. I mentioned sanctions because they are the only realistic option at the moment.

        Back in the 1930’s France and the UK said “this goes too far” and they declared war on nazi Germany because they were tyrants. And that was before they started to ship jews and other minorities to concentration camps, and before they committed horrible war crimes. Israel already showed their true colors, by committing horrible war crimes and crimes against humanity. And not just since the invasion, for years Israel has been the only country with apartheid, conducting illegal annexation of Palestinian territories.

        So the fact we, the west, haven’t denounced the Israeli Nazi regime and their war crimes and are still actively supporting them by supplying them with weapons and spare parts is beyond any logical comprehension.

        During the war in Syria the west denounced the use of chemical weapons by Assad and Russia, while being proud we all together are better than that and uphold a higher standard. I’m disgusted by the fact this has all been lies, as we are just as inhumane and crual but are too blinded by money and power to see that. Ignorance is a bliss I guess. But it’s at the cost of thousands of innocent people, including many children.

        We shouldn’t be supporting or denouncing nations, but actions. Even though Israel is a friendly nation, we shouldn’t close our eyes for the otrocities committed by our so called friend.

        I will never be friends to nazis and I will always speak out against nazism.

        As a disclaimer (sad I have to do this, but there are people labeling anti-genocide as antisemitism), I want to state I’m also against racism and discrimination, including antisemitism. I’m against the Israelean state for their actions, I’m not against jews. I hate all religions and cults equally, but that’s another story.

      Do you have any evidence that they’re suffering from psychosis? Drag would rather you call them hateful bastards than implicate schizospectrum disorders.
