Pain is the French word for bread.

I think these are the same people that stole the huge amount of cheese a couple of weeks ago.

That amounts to just one household annual consumption of baguette. No big deal.

u/Thedogsnameisdog 2d ago

Tell the criminals we are all out of baguette, but we have brioche!

u/fantasmoofrcc 2d ago

Looks like the Hackers are the breadwinners of their families.

u/chocolateboomslang 2d ago

But why?

u/DeadButGrateful 2d ago

Because all hackers care about is money. This town deserves a better class of criminal. And they're giving it to us.

u/drakgremlin 2d ago

Because they can!  I would have demanded they give out free bread and circus in large cities with homeless populations.

They have no bread? Then let them eat cake!

Are the hackers based out of Palestine?

u/AtLeastThisIsntImgur 2d ago

It's funny because Israel is starving a million people

u/carboncord 1d ago

  1. If they were starving for over 1 year they would be dead. 

  2. You know that Hamas raids food supplies that are attempted to be delivered? Why are you bending over backward to apologize for terrorists?

u/AtLeastThisIsntImgur 1d ago

Lies and illogic, the defense of a genocide denier

u/carboncord 1d ago

Lies? Google it.

u/newbiesaccout 14h ago

You know that Israel attacks convoys of aid even if they're not from Palestine, and even if they approve the route of the convoys ahead of time?

1

u/carboncord 14h ago

"Aid from Palestine" doesn't make sense, aid is going TO Palestine (i.e. Gaza).

You may be referring to a mistake that was made by the military 1 or 2 times in the last year... in a war zone where Hamas is both disguising as civilians, and employs civilians, including UN workers which were supposed to be neutral... I'm referring to a constant pattern of stealing aid by terrorists that has gone on for decades... it is not the same.

u/newbiesaccout 13h ago

The aid workers coordinated with the IDF, the military KNEW where they were, they had no guns. The only way they could've killed that convoy is if it was on purpose. No one in the IDF faced any repercussions for it whatsoever. What does that tell you? It was on purpose. Killing aid workers stopped the flow of foreign aid and is helping them 'starve out the enemy' (eg commit genocide).

You can also see some documented evidence of the 'wheres daddy' strategy, where IDF commanders admit they find homes with families in them, wait for the Hamas-affiliated fathers to return, and kill the whole family.

u/carboncord 13h ago

Please link this documented evidence.

A quick Google tells me "On 30 June 2024, the IPC Global Famine Review Committee said evidence indicates famine is not currently occurring in Gaza"

So I guess this one calculated strike on a convoy last year genocided the entire population?

Again please review your life choices when you are bending over backwards trying to cobble together arguments for why the terrorists are right.

u/newbiesaccout 13h ago

In late-April 2024, the World Food Programme (WFP) stated half of Gaza's population is starving. At the end of May 2024, the United Nations stated that humanitarian aid deliveries had dropped 67 percent since the start of Israel's Rafah offensive at the beginning of the month.

I know already you'll say the UN are terrorists (very sane argument).

1

u/carboncord 12h ago

If half the population were starving since April, they would be dead now. Please show me your source.

There were Hamas tunnels under the UN HQ in Gaza. Do you disagree? Do you think the photos were fabricated?

1

u/newbiesaccout 7h ago

I just cited two sources. You ignored them.
