WOW. The Guardian is reporting that Israeli troops fired ‘warning shots’ at 25 diplomats visiting occupied West Bank. The delegation comprised ambassadors and diplomats representing 31 countries, including Italy, Canada, Egypt, Jordan, and the United Kingdom.
Israel claims it was an "inconvenience" and they're investigating.
Make no mistake, this is deliberate intimidation by a regime committing daily genocide. If this is how they treat diplomats, just imagine how they treat Palestinians.
Also, this is the West Bank, not Gaza. It's Occupied Palestine. Any claims that the Diplomats went "off route" and therefore the Israeli military had to open fire is an admission that the Israeli military is violently occupying land that is not theres, and needs to stop. Period.
I've been to Occupied Palestine. I've seen with my own eyes the restrictive suffocating nature of military occupation. Sadly, what these diplomats experienced is not the exception, but the norm. And that's the problem.
Needs to stop is not enough. Everybody involved, not just the leadership, needs to be tried for war crimes and that includes every country such as the US, that is supporting and funding genocide.
