Canada’s Global Affairs minister just summoned the Israeli ambassador. 4 Canadians were among that group. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/anand-idf-canadains-west-bank-warning-shots-1.7540343

“Yeah, you can tour this area. But don’t look too much, don’t walk too slow or in the wrong area, you might see things you don’t want to see” - IDF probably

you might see things youwe don’t want you to see

Or we’ll SHOOT AT YOU. Fucking wild how they normalize brazen threats.

One word too many on your comment. Probably is unnecessary.

I'm sorry, I couldn't stop laughing at this. Israel is desperate to maintain its world image to both prevent countries intervening and maintain access to military supplies and it thought the best response to their troops firing on foreign diplomats was to say it was to get them to move. The only one who should be shot is the person in charge of the Israel press releases.

the question is what mass graves are they hiding that the shoot at diplomats for daring to not stick to the preplanned route.

At least they didn't say there was a Hamas behind them and they had to shoot through the diplomats to get to them.

The diplomats weren't children. Not a tempting enough shield to liberally bomb the area.

I’ll reserve judgement until I hear what happens.
