Because you can call them all drug addicts, or to inflict withdrawal on the unsuspecting. It's not like cruelty is something the netanyahu regime has ever attempted to avoid.
And imagine trying to convince people that opioids can't survive heat. Wonder why people who smoke crack keep doing it.
Or... you can just kill them. The Israelis aren't subtle and don't need Palestinians to be drug addicts to dehumanize them. They're already calling them much worse.
This idea that it's definitely not smuggling, something that happens everywhere for very mundane reasons and is instead a plan to leave some as drug addicts just doesn't make sense.
Things that are "smoked" are destroyed by heat, that's how the smoke happens. You don't burn your drugs and then come back to eat the ashes, the good stuff is all gone by that point.
So there's no market for food in gaza but those evil addict children just want them some drugs!
Of course there's a market for food! And for drugs! And for literally just medicine! There are black markets during war. That's why gangs raid trucks delivering free food rather than just waiting and taking their allocated share.
JFC, there have been reports of amputations being performed without painkillers and you guys are like "must be a devious plot to hook kids on oxy" rather than "yeah, I bet an opiate is a high-priority smuggling item".
I don't give the netanyahu regime the benefit of the doubt, no.
Bullshit stop talking out of your ass, you know nothing.
