Some Israelis will use any means to put pressure on Hamas. The “Tzav-9” alliance wants to increase the need in the Gaza Strip and is blocking aid deliveries. A famine catastrophe is already looming there.
Before things really get started, they first take a group picture. The white and blue flags flutter, the man with the automatic rifle, the other men and the women with the babies stand close together in the parking lot and shout loudly into the cell phone camera: “The people of Israel are alive.” Then everyone gets into the cars, with babies, flags, strollers and rifles. The convoy drives along lonely country roads, winding its way along dusty dirt roads, stealthily past all the police barriers. Always towards Gaza, towards the Kerem Shalom border crossing. The Israeli activists’ mission: no hunger relief for Gaza.
