The White House has condemned an attack on an aid convoy heading to Gaza by Israeli settlers who threw packages of food into the road and set fire to the vehicles.

Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road.

Late on Monday, photos began circulating on social media showing the trucks on fire.

Well I don't know what to say anymore. We now have a major newspaper reporting that we cannot stop illegal weapons shipments that are not supported by the majority of country because... Democratic donors are unhappy he's even holding the 2,000 pound bombs back.

There is one thing, but you guys won't like it. You never do. We already live in an Oligarchy, not a Democracy. Your vote is an illusion. The parties aren't the same but they are united in backing the Oligarchy over you.

Also Israel knew this would happen once the only routes for aid required driving from the Egyptian border to the north tip of Gaza. To a border crossing that's fucking tiny and across the entire combat zone from all the previous aid infrastructure. This is both the intended result and them laughing at the world while they claim they tried to let aid in.
