The White House has condemned an attack on an aid convoy heading to Gaza by Israeli settlers who threw packages of food into the road and set fire to the vehicles.

Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road.

Late on Monday, photos began circulating on social media showing the trucks on fire.

      Very low. It’s basically the hobby of a single conservative Zionist (assisted by some volunteer and paid freelancers, though there’s no public transparency about who does what and when) pretending to be a reputable arbiter of truth and bias.

        Coincidentally, the first article that came out of that thing from a poster was Israel lobby propaganda that said that Russian propaganda on social media is the source of worldwide antisemitism. It has no credibility. It disseminates state run propaganda because “if it comes from the government, or a politician, it must be true” and the think tanks that work for them.
