Bulletin of the International People’s Tribunal for Palestine
November 4, 2025
Zionist settlers have been placing their bodies in front of aid trucks bound for Gaza during the genocidal war amidst Israel’s full blockade. Even on the incredibly small occasions that Israeli forces have let in trucks, they have allowed settlers to block these trucks and have done nothing to stop them.
In some cases, whole families including children of settlers have gone out together to block aid trucks, taking pictures together to brag openly about breaking international law with impunity.
It is a war crime to deliberately block food from a whole population of people, an act that Israel has committed every day since the 2005 blockade of Gaza began. Yet it has even become an act committed by civilians (albeit civilians with mandatory military conscription duties) to find joy and pride in. Bringing children along for such an act normalizes acts of genocide and ecocide for the next generation as well, further cementing the Zionist settler occupation.
Even before October 7 2023, at least 600 aid trucks were needed to enter Gaza daily in order to sustain the people living there. Occupation forces then publicly announced that they would not allow any more food in, and immediately acted on that promise.
In July 2025 alone, over 12,000 children were identified as acutely malnourished—the highest monthly figure ever recorded, and at least 350 people, including 151 children, have died from starvation (UN).
We must hold the entire Zionist occupation accountable for these crimes, as well as the US government that has prevented accountability at every step. Support the International People’s Tribunal for Palestine this November 22 – 23 in Barcelona.
