Land convoy to travel thousands of kilometres across North Africa to raise international awareness over Gaza war and deliver life-saving aid

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/31101048

A grassroots land convoy is travelling thousands of kilometres from the Tunisian capital to Gaza on Monday, in the hopes of breaking Israel’s debilitating 18-year siege on the war-battered Palestinian enclave.

Thousands of volunteers from Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia left the Tunisian capital in a 100-vehicle convoy to raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and deliver life-saving aid, organisers said.

The “Soumoud” convoy, which means resilience and steadfastness in Arabic, is reported to include trade union and political figures, as well as human rights activists, athletes, lawyers, doctors, journalists, and members of youth organisations.

It remains unclear, however, whether the convoy will actually reach the besieged Gaza Strip, as Egyptian officials have yet to authorise the convoy’s entry into North Sinai.

              why haven’t the plo held elections in the west bank in years? hint: they are worried a certain militant islamic party will get elected

              why you support israel when they been killing palestinians

              because the palestinians were dumb enough to continue to fight a power much stronger than them, the oct 7th genocide attempt might be the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen but a long continuation of their attempts to genocide israel

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter

              The original Charter identified Hamas as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and described its members to be god-fearing Muslims raising the banner of Jihad (armed struggle) in “the face of the oppressors.” The charter defines the struggle to be against the Jews and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic Palestinian state in all of former Mandatory Palestine, and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel.[4][5][6] The charter has been criticized for its use of antisemitic language,[7][8] which some commentators have characterized as incitement to genocide.[9][10]

              —-

              there are many other hundreds of millions of people who have lost their homeland and resettled or worked and integrated with the host, this is human history but hamas n co want to play the jihad game, well all major arab nations including the trillion dollar petro-states want nothing to do with it (and neither do i)

              plenty of money for ronaldo though

                Palestinians has the right to self defense against occupation. Israel is responsible for every single death they are the occupying force

                Israeli leaders called for Palestinian extermination and Israeli president said there ia no innocent people in Gaza

                between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty - Likud charter

                  that’s ok, they can call egypt, libya, tunisia, algeria, qatar, dubai, saudi arabia, uae, jordan or others in the area for support, oh right, for some reason all the countries closest are busy building soccer stadium’s

                  Palestinians has the right to self defence against occupation.

                  that definitely explains why they beheaded that gardener with a rake and gang raped that girl while chanting alluh ackbar

                  you got some special friends
