Sweet: Israeli Truck Driver Blocks Several-Kilometer-Long Gaza-Bound Aid Convoy

Israel’s Civil Authority (COGAT) has continued to allow hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid in, in order to alleviate daily conditions for the strip’s 1.6 million residents inhabiting the 139 square mile area.

But on Sunday, Kerem Shalom resident and married dad, Daniel Meteri, 27, snapped.

He’d had enough of the hundreds of rockets in the sixth day of Operation Protective Edge, and the thousands before then, and for three hours refused to move his vehicle parked across the two-lane road leading to the crossing point, at the southern end of the Strip.

His wildcat strike halted a several-kilometer-long line of trucks carrying goods to the Palestinians.

“I have no problem with them receiving humanitarian aid,” he told Israel’s Channel 2 News. “Gas, fuel, medical supplies – no problem,” he said. “But cola and all these other luxuries? They fire at us and we’re giving them goods so they can keep firing?” he asked aloud.

“Why are we supplying them concrete – so they can build another tunnel under the kibbutz?” he asked, and claimed that the drivers waiting to deliver their loads support his stance.

“The drivers who were delayed because of me support my position,” he said, adding that some of them are area residents.

“There were even drivers from (the Bedouin Negev city of ) Rahat who agreed with me, saying that they, too, were under fire,” he said, emphasizing that “this isn’t a matter of Arabs against Jews – we’re all against Hamas.”

  1. Egypt stopped al deliveries to gaza but we stop Jews still send them coke give them water and electric
    They are an independent area help your self

  2. 100%, hes right on the money:
    Everyone should do the same:
    The only cocrete we we should be delivering to them, is to bury them in it.

  3. I can’t beleive that a courageous and logical act like this does not generate hundreds of other truckers to do the same.
    He has nmore “seichel” than that dumb idiotic gov’t.
    Berel and Shmerel made a “medina” and look what it looks like…
    Hashem Yerachem.

  4. Humanitarian aid should only be for people who act human. Hamas does not act human; why should Israel send aid? They wouldn’t do it for Israelis, they just want to annihilate them.
