The flour massacre...

Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident

On 29 February 2024, in what has been characterized as a massacre by some sources, 117 Palestinian civilians were killed and at least 760 were injured; the circumstances are disputed. This incident, which has been referred to as the Flour Massacre in media, took place when Israeli forces opened fire on civilians who were attempting to get food from aid trucks on Al-Rashid street at the Al-Nabulsi roundabout to the west of Gaza City. The United Nations reported "a large number of gunshot wounds" among injured victims treated at al-Shifa hospital.

I am almost afraid to ask, but what the hell is “flour massacre”

Israel opened fire on people waiting for food from aid trucks, killing over 100 and injuring over 700.

At the end of the day, even Tiananmen Square turned out to just be projection. amerikkka-clap anglo-burn

Look up the 228 incident if you want to see exactly what it was projection of

During the February 28 incident, Taiwanese leaders established Resolution Committees in various cities (with a central committee in Taipei) and demanded greater political autonomy. Negotiations with the ROC ended when troops arrived in early March. The subsequent feelings of betrayal felt towards the government and China are widely believed to have catalysed today's Taiwan independence

Flour massacre: How Gaza food killings unfolded, and Israel’s story changed

≥112 palestinians were killed following the IDF opening fire into a food aid line

Israel’s story changed

Based off their record, I’d imagine they started out by denying all responsibility, then backpedaling that they may have had some responsibility, and then basically admitting it was their fault while using the most “officer related shooting” style language imaginable.

Don't forget "we feared for our lives" like the pigs in America say after blasting an unarmed POC.

The IDF train us cops, so a pretty direct connection.

Between cops in the US and Israeli occupiers?

Yeah, when news was first coming out the reports were of Nabulsi Square, so I went to look that up but made a typo.. instead of Google just correcting the typo with one letter - sending me to the relevant Al Jazeera article about the Nabulsi Square killings (as it was initially called) - I got a result for Tiananmen Square:

Even if it gets corrected to 'Naval Square', Tiananmen is still the first thing to come up. You can type any spelling variation of Nabulsi in and it'll show you Tiananmen. Naval and Nabsli/Nabulsi is closer to the Nisour Square Massacre than anything - committed by US mercernaries in Iraq, but it doesn't get suggested.

I know it's probably not hardcoded to prefer Tiananmen, but it does show how algorithms reproduce already existing biases because 'Xi Pooh Tiananmen' rhetoric is so mind numbingly popular.

The Gaza Health Ministry dubbed the incident as a massacre where 112 people were killed by Israeli gunfire,[2][11] while Israeli officials said that most of the casualties were from a stampede ensuing from warning shots fired by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) when a mob endangered them in two related incidents.[18][19][20] Other Israeli officials stated that they did in fact shoot some of the victims, although added that they believed that they were responsible for fewer than ten of the casualties.[21]

Palestine says that Israelis killed Palestinians, while Israel says it killed some Palestinians while directly causing the conditions for the rest to be killed. Who could say who is right.

Israel says it killed some Palestinians while directly causing the conditions for the rest to be killed.

even then it's still their fault
