Thousands of Palestinians, including men, women, children and elderly, attempted to return to their homes in northern Gaza on Sunday when they came under Israeli fire.

“We reached all the way to the checkpoint until we saw Israeli tanks. We headed back because they fired towards us. We didn’t see anyone make it to the other side. We risked our children’s lives to cross, but apparently it was all a lie,” one woman said.

Video shows several people with what appear to be gunshot wounds. One man is seen carrying another man who has blood streaming along his face from a head injury.

    “We heard the road was open to Gaza City, so we thought we’d go. When they saw men with us, they started shooting at us. We are tired and humiliated,” Um Awni Al-Jarousha told CNN.

    Footage shows people turning around, heading back south with the sound of drones and planes buzzing overhead. Missiles can be seen in the distance while people run in panic.

    Another man is seen carrying a 5-year-old girl named Sally Abu Laila, who is bleeding from her head and surrounded by people trying to help.

    I just can’t support any politician complicit in this, let alone eager to fund it.

    It’s a fucking genocide and our tax dollars are paying for it

      Ffs, of the implication is that you are not going to vote for Biden then think again. you are going to vote, and you will vote Biden because the alternative will be endlessly worse. Not voting is pretty much the same voting for the alternative, so you go out and hate it if you must, but you will vote Biden because ar least he is sorta some what kind of against all this where trump literally wants to “Finish the problem”

        Keep repeating that mantra and you too can be just as shocked as Hilary diehards in 2016.

        The rest of us know that strategy results in republicans winning and will keep pushing for a better option so we’re not stuck with trump.

        Have fun

          Yes but if that does happen it will quite literally be you and people like you who are to blame. You’re cutting your nose off to spite your face and then trying to blame the people warning you about how fucking stupid it is to do that.

          It’s the most brainless shit I’ve ever fucking seen, almost as bad as the people who actually do want to vote for Trump

            Blame voters…

            Not the people paid to get Dems elected? The ones going against the desires of their voters? The ones openly antagonistic towards their voters?

            The ones that literally cancelled a primary for a state that habitually votes progressive over party favorite?

            The ones that scheduled their convention after the state deadlines for candidates to get on the ballot?

            The same ones that want to say a primary is over after the 3rd state votes so no one else matters?

            It’s completely understandable for you to be angry, but youre not mad at the people creating the situation, you’re mad at people who acknowledge there even is a problem

      Yet you are complicit in the election of a politician who proudly will make this worse. great logic.
