The Israeli military fired warning shots at a large delegation of European and Arab diplomats on an official visit to the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, drawing swift condemnation.

Delegations from more than 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada and others, were on an official mission to see the humanitarian situation in the besieged camp, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which called the incident a “deliberate and unlawful act.”

Videos on social media show delegation members giving media interviews when shots are heard ringing out close to the group and forcing it to run for cover.

    I hope one day soon the west will wake up from their collective guilt and hold these bastards accountable. I can’t see it happening in my lifetime, but one can hope.

    Condemnation and bullshit UN resolutions that keep getting vetoed mean nothing. Countries need to start sanctioning Israel with or without American approval.

      Sanctioning? Put fucking boots on the ground and start shooting back. These people are literally psychotic monsters. And they need to be put down.

      I gave it about a year before the world had decided it had enough with blatant genocide but society is nowhere close to where I thought it was. All those documentaries and classes about the Holocaust when i was a child and by the time I’m grown up we’ve already disregarded it completely.
