Gaza’s government media office accused the Israeli army of “committing a horrific massacre”. More than 70 people were killed and about 250 others wounded, it said in a statement on Thursday.

The citizens had congregated at al-Rashid Street, where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way. Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.

“I have been waiting since yesterday. At about 4.30 this morning, trucks started to come through. Once we approached the aid trucks, the Israeli tanks and warplanes started firing at us, as if it was a trap.

      The United States. Israel is an albatross around its neck. The best solution for all parties involved would be for Israelis to relocate to the US, which has plenty of room to accept them.

      The US is one of the wealthiest countries on earth, do you think everyone here can just up and fuck off to another country as well?

      No. Why would you think that?

      It sounds like you haven’t thought this through.

      It sounds like you’re arguing with yourself.

          Sorry, you seem to be the kind of person who thinks only “easy” suggestions are viable ones.

          I can’t take people like you seriously because you need more experience with the real world.

              Israelis are as much victims of their government as Palestinians are,

              No they aren’t. From the beginning, I pointed out how most Israelis have the power to leave whereas most Palestinians, especially Gazans, do not.

              You’re being willfully ignorant and think that by just saying words you’re defeating an argument.

              That’s not how the world works, and another reason why you shouldn’t be taken seriously.
