Months after some Israelis started to protest against aid lorries entering Gaza at the main Kerem Shalom crossing, the battle has moved to other key junctions, where rival groups of activists do their best to block or protect aid convoys.

Right-wing activists, including Jewish settlers living in the occupied West Bank, have uploaded dozens of videos of crowds, including some very young children, hurling food onto the ground and stamping on boxes of aid.

In one video, a group of jubilant protesters dance and celebrate on top of a looted lorry.

In another, one of the stranded lorries is ablaze.

In the West Bank, at least two drivers who were not carrying goods bound for Gaza were dragged from their cabs and beaten.

Other videos show Israeli vigilantes stopping lorries in Jerusalem and demanding that drivers show papers proving they are not transporting aid to Gaza. Their faces are uncovered and they appear to be acting with complete impunity.

    Israel has had since its invention plenty of time to make good relations with its neighbors. It doesn’t though, it just sticks to stealing land and genocide, the founding principles of the country. If that catches up to them, well, they brought it on to themselves. Maybe they should try being better neighbors.

      You seem to know very little about Israel’s history (considering we made peace with both Jordan and Egypt, which are two countries which attacked us first).

      Maybe you should try reading a bit of history before writing nonsense
