Israel: in Nitzana, extremists try to block the entry of aid to the Gaza Strip
While the international community is mobilizing to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, in Israel, 68%, according to a recent poll, are opposed to the delivery of this aid.
The most extremists even come to demonstrate in front of crossing points to try to block trucks on their way to Gaza.

There are around fifty of them, Israeli flag in hand, demonstrating peacefully in front of the Nitzana crossing point between
Israel
and Egypt.
In this militarized desert zone, more than thirty humanitarian aid trucks destined for
Gaza
are waiting to be checked.
The demonstrators, many religious nationalists, want to block their passage.
“
All this food aid that should go to Gaza is for Hamas,”
says Uri Adler, who comes from a colony in the occupied West Bank.
It strengthens them.
The children of Gaza will not see the color of this.
And are they really children?
For me, they are not children.
In a few years they will be future Hamas fighters, who will want to fight us.

The images of famine coming from the Palestinian enclave also do not move Roie, a 21-year-old radical activist, who is even happy about it: “
I think these images are very good.
The more there are, the closer we will get to victory over the Gazans and the end of this war.
And the safer Israel will be.
Because when our enemies see these images, they will know what to expect if they want to commit another holocaust in the land of Israel.

These extremists demonstrate under the impassive eye of the Israeli police.
If they do not completely block trucks, they slow down the already endless screening process to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
