Grassroots Israeli Movement Aims To Blockade Food Deliveries To Knesset

“It’s unconscionable to be supplying the enemy with necessities.”

Jerusalem, August 5 – A growing number of citizens in this war-weary nation have reached a threshold of frustration with a government and military leadership that continues to provide vital supplies to an existential enemy despite popular opposition, and have begun organizing to besiege the recipients of the aid: the first attempt to surround and cut off the parliamentary building took place this morning.

The Knesset has received daily deliveries of critical food and other supplies more or less without interruption, observers report, despite continual activities to harm, undermine, and otherwise draw the ire of Israelis. The mounting anger gave rise last month to a grassroots effort to deprive those chiefly responsible for Israeli misery of the staples they need to continue functioning and thus continuing to act to the detriment of Israelis.

“It’s unconscionable to be supplying the enemy with necessities,” argued Avner Nissim, whose two sons have seen combat in and around the Gaza Strip since 2003. “The people in there, in that compound, are responsible for like ninety percent of our problems. We need to subdue them, bring them to heel, and if not, then to get rid of them. Giving them food and other supplies is beyond stupid.”

“No one else is expected to help their enemy survive,” agreed Laura Tziti, whose husband and sons have all served in the current war, with one of the sons still in rehabilitation from a wound incurred while fighting in Gaza. “Yet here we are, day after day, letting supplies into the Knesset with no oversight on how much. They don’t need it. They’re fat cats. And it just encourages them to keep ruining our lives.”

“That ends now,” asserted Ofer Pitsek, 75. “We’re taking a moral stand. Starting today, we’re going to impose a human blockade on the Knesset to prevent any more supplies from reaching those scumbags. We’ll set up barricades if necessary. Future generations will judge the police harshly if they try to interfere!”

Progressive groups warned that any attempt to deprive the Knesset of such supplies would constitute collective punishment, since the blockade would affect numerous innocent staff and maintenance workers in the facility. They called on international organizations to step in with protests in Western cities and more threats of boycotts, which have worked so well to date.

Protesters countered that those “innocents” could leave at any time, and that their decision to remain at the sides of the criminals in the Knesset demonstrates they can no longer be reckoned as innocents.
