And a long, angry thread here at DU erupted over the IDF shooting the looters to protect the convoys, despite the IDF providing drone footage of said looters firing weapons at the convoy.

A large contingent of DU'ers were pissed the IDF opened fire on said looters, arguing they should have just let them take the supplies.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.

Edit: I managed to track down ONE of the threads about this incident. I recall more, as I participated in at least one other than this one.
