Months after some Israelis started to protest against aid lorries entering Gaza at the main Kerem Shalom crossing, the battle has moved to other key junctions, where rival groups of activists do their best to block or protect aid convoys.

Right-wing activists, including Jewish settlers living in the occupied West Bank, have uploaded dozens of videos of crowds, including some very young children, hurling food onto the ground and stamping on boxes of aid.

In one video, a group of jubilant protesters dance and celebrate on top of a looted lorry.

In another, one of the stranded lorries is ablaze.

In the West Bank, at least two drivers who were not carrying goods bound for Gaza were dragged from their cabs and beaten.

Other videos show Israeli vigilantes stopping lorries in Jerusalem and demanding that drivers show papers proving they are not transporting aid to Gaza. Their faces are uncovered and they appear to be acting with complete impunity.

    They already are terrorists they are already killing a huge amount of innocent for a political end. It’s exactly how terrorism is defined.

      Terrorists call ahead and tell civilians to get out of the way?

      Maybe if even a few of the civilians could point out the Hamas members, say where the tunnels are, and we could have this all wrapped up by about Thursday of next week. No, inconcievable!

      How is such prideful “martyrdom” not a wilful choice?

          Nah, not really. Common misconception. They didn’t say go south and you will be safe in the first stage of the war. They said go south, and also don’t go near anybody who’s in Hamas or near any of the tunnels. If you went South, and you stood on top of a tunnel, or stood in the room with your buddies in Hamas, well then explosions happened.
