Israel’s military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.

The agency, known as UNRWA, posted its warning on social media on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.

“Ask Hamas if you can have some,” the IDF wrote.

    I mean, “they threw rocks at tanks, so they deserved to die” may be a pretty shitty justification to kill civilians, but it’s still murder.

    You are no better than people openly supporting Hamas.

      Which of the attacks in October involved throwing rocks at tanks, again?

      It must’ve been a pretty big rock Islamic Jihad threw when they blew up part of their own hospital.

        You think I’m talking about October? No, I’m talking about all the other times Palestinian kids were killed for tenuous reasons…

        But sure, if that’s the metric you want to use… which of the Palestinian children who died as a result of Israel’s response to the recent attacks deserved to die?

          It’s not a tenuous reason. If you throw shit at an army in a war zone they’re going to shoot you. That’s just how reality works.

          I’m strongly opposed to Israel’s dumbass heavy-handed reapons s to prior attacks. Their leadership has been idiotic. That doesn’t make them intentionally targeting civilians.

            Lol. Spoken like a true bootlicking terrorist. “Of course he deserved to die. He threw ROCKS at our armored vehicles”.

            At least argue from a position of honesty and admit that you don’t give a shit about Palestinian civilians being used as fodder by both sides.

              I didn’t say anything about deserving. I acknowledged the reality of what happens when you throw rocks at soldiers in a war zone.

              This is true for every war zone.

                A child throwing a rock at a tank is not a reason to shoot the child. You’d be right at home with the racist shitheels here in America who want to shoot black delivery drivers for daring to pull into their driveway.

                You’re a fascist.

                    But he got upvotes on the internet, clearly he is right.

                    Humans are fucking doomed.
