they're pain killers.
the horror of sending pain killers to a war zone. /s
fucking morons.
edit: and another thing -- so many of you have been fooled by this vilification and politicization of pain killers that it has actually been successfully weaponized against you to such an extent that its hurt the patients that need them and corrupted your sound decision making during elections. this is the opposite of woke.
Of ALL the painkillers the US has at their disposal, they chose precisely the ones that cause crippling addition and deathly withdrawals? And hid them inside flour to... Keep them dry?
Yeah, no.
“We have so far documented four testimonies from citizens who found these pills inside the flour bags,”
Best case - someone is smuggling oxy in to make a buck off of opioid addiction. But some think there might be oxy ground up in the flour so that Gazans gain a dependency, and might die from OD or withdrawal symptoms.
and why the fuck would the israelis do that? if they really wanted to fuck with Palestine they would be mixing much worse stuff. this makes no sense whatsoever.
there is only one, unsubstantiated, hamas run, source for this information -- and you're just blindly believing something that doesn't make any damn sense. This is a war of a propaganda and you're just unquestionably believing one side of it.
In this thread alone I saw someone try to justify it by saying it's an important medical supply. Something like arsenic or cyanide might do a better job of killing people but then why would people start dropping like flies? Painkillers are a hot commodity around the world so it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was meant to be smuggled in and the wrong people discovered it. Given everything Israel has done so far it seems more likely they're trying to sew chaos rather than an enterprising dealer trying to tap a forgotten customer base.
I personally don't think it is very likely that they are trying to poison Palestinians.
I find it completely unsurprising that someone is smuggling oxy in to make a quick buck.
The US is working overtime at making the rest of the world hate them. Gotta justify those defense industry expenditures huh?
Oxycodone most certainly does not cause hallucinations. Severe and i mean severe withdrawal may cause hallucinations but the drug itself does no such thing. That's just false
They’re like the microplastics of American society.
Press X to doubt this wasn't just someone trying to smuggle drugs in to sell through aid shipments.
But how could you possibly make money by smuggling almost anything into Gaza especially right now? What are you going to sell it for, a ration of pita bread?
Sure.
Just because there's a food shortage doesn't mean people don't have cash savings
They didn't put crack in black neighborhoods for short term profit...
We’re going to find out that some lunatic Christian dominionists in the CIA are the ones who actually laced all the recreational drugs with Fentanyl aren’t we
Christians doing exactly as Satan has instructed them
Why is it that it's always the dumb ones being so overtly religious? Don't answer that...

well 90% of the fentanyl that crosses the border is brought by a US citizen
