IDF preventing aid from entering Gaza via Kerem Shalom Crossing – report
2024-02-10
Yesterday thousands protested in Jerusalem for the war, today this.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF prevented the entry of humanitarian aid into Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
via the Kerem Shalom Crossing earlier today after a directive was issued following a situational assessment, Channel 12 reports.

In recent days, a right-wing protest group known as Tzav 9
... “Order 9”, which is determined to protest until the last Israeli hostage is returned home. Tzav 9 is a reference to the Tzav 8 emergency mobilization notices IDF reservists received on Oct. 7. The grassroots group is based on a core of Bibi-supporting families of Hamas hostages and victims plus the Mothers of IDF Soldiers group. They believe that by blocking additional aid to Gaza the IDF will more speedily finish the war...
has been preventing aid from entering the Gaza Strip, but the group was not at Kerem Shalom on Friday, so aid should have been able to enter the Strip without issue.

The report does not say why the decision to stop aid from passing through Kerem Shalom was made and who issued the directive.

COGAT, Israel’s military liaison to the Paleostinians, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

murderers and those with blood on their hands puts not only our sons but the entire country at risk," says Mothers of IDF soldiers spokeswoman.


Israeli grassroots movement Mothers of IDF Soldiers, together with the IDF Reservists movement, gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem on Wednesday to demand an end to humanitarian aid to Gazoo.

"We support the Israeli government’s decision to wage war and eradicate Hamas and we are grateful and appreciative of the sacrifices our soldiers make on a daily basis to protect the State of Israel," Mirit Hoffman, an English-language spokeswoman for Mothers of IDF Soldiers, told JNS.

"We do not support sending humanitarian aid, otherwise known as Hamas aid, to Gaza," she added. "Since the Biden administration has been putting pressure on the Israeli government to do so, we are going to the source," she added.

Last month, a Paleostinian woman went viral for telling an Al Jazeera news hound that Hamas was diverting humanitarian aid entering Gaza into its tunnel system for distribution to terrorists. U.N. and USAID sacks have been used by Hamas to construct terror tunnels in Gaza, and fuel and humanitarian aid have been stolen from UNRWA compounds by truck drivers believed to be from the Hamas-run Health Ministry.

Nevertheless, the U.N. Security Council on Dec. 22 passed a resolution—the U.S. abstained instead of vetoing the motion—to speed and scale up humanitarian aid to the Strip.

Founded during the 2014 Israel-Hamas war ("Operation Protective Edge"), Mothers of IDF Soldiers consists of 7,000 mothers and other supporters of Israeli troops, who oppose American pressure to prioritize the safety of Paleostinians in Gaza over that of Israeli forces.

The group is currently calling for the continuation of the war until Hamas is defeated and all hostages are freed, and for pressure to be applied on Egypt to permit Paleostinian civilians in Gaza to pass into Sinai.

Earlier this week, Mothers of IDF Soldiers wrote a letter to U.S. President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....
outlining its positions.

"The aid going into Gaza does the exact opposite of what you want it to do. It enables Hamas to keep fighting by keeping Hamas turbans supplied," said the letter. "The fuel going into Gaza enables Hamas turbans to run their generators that keep air circulating in the underground tunnels, prolonging the war and place our soldiers in unnecessary jeopardy."

Israeli protesters have converged on Israel’s Kerem Shalom border crossing with Gaza every day over the past week with the aim of preventing aid from passing into Gaza.

Paleostinian terrorists, Hoffman said such a deal would endanger the country.

"Any deal that involves releasing Hamas murderers and those with blood on their hands puts not only our sons but the entire country at risk, and also shows weakness while giving Hamas a sense of victory," she said.

"We are in favor of a complete victory. We do not want our soldiers to continuously go to war and we’ll oppose any deal that sabotages that," Hoffman added.
