Language matters. Stop the passive voice in headlines. Use the active voice.
Bombs don't fall, they are dropped. Starvation is not finding Gazans. Starvation is being forced on Gazans by Israel. Children are not in a 'chaotic incident', they are being killed/massacred.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is pushing harder for a cease-fire in Gaza and demands that the United States send “not another nickel” to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“My view, not another nickel for Netanyahu’s government if he’s going to continue this wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people,” Sanders told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Friday.
Sanders’ declaration comes just days after the death toll in Gaza surpassed 30,000 people since the start of the war on Oct. 7, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. More than 100 Palestinians in Gaza City were killed and more than 700 injured Thursday, when Israeli soldiers opened fire on the people scrambling to access humanitarian aid, some media outlets reported.
Sanders, who recently voted against sending more aid to Israel for its war against Hamas, stressed the importance of stopping the “unprecedented humanitarian disaster.”
The Vermont senator argued that President Biden, who has put pressure on Netanyahu and Israel to scale back its attacks, is taking “an important step forward,” but argues that “we need to do more.” Biden said Friday that the U.S. will begin airdrops of aid to Gaza amid negotiations for a cease-fire.
Sanders said Biden should be telling the Israeli government to open borders so trucks of food, water and medical supplies that are critical to the more than 1 million refugees in the region can be delivered.
During the interview, Sanders said that “it’s totally absurd” that the United States is sending humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza, but also supplying Israel with the funds and military capabilities to hurt those civilians.

The flour massacre...
80
families lost their beloved members.
80
people killed with no mercy
Some put the death toll around 112
280
injured
This is what the iof said when confronted:
The Israeli version of events changed over the course of the day. The first account given by the Israeli military was that the victims had died in a stampede in which people had been “killed and injured from pushing, trampling and being run over by the trucks”. Later, Israeli military officials briefed the Guardian and other news outlets to say that their forces had only opened fire on a crowd that threatened them after the aid convoy had moved on, and that most of the casualties were caused earlier by the stampede or people being knocked down. Israeli officials also questioned the death toll from Palestinian authorities.
We all know by now that the only thing israel knows how to do is lie
THEY OPEN FIRED ON A HUNGRY CROWD.
They have been purposely starving all the people stuck, and as soon as aid arrives, they kill all of them with no mercy.
I swear this is some dystopian hunger games kinda shit.
MEN WHO SAID GOODBYE TO THEIR FAMILIES PROMISING TO COME BACK WITH FOOD WILL COME BACK NO MORE 💔
We will never forgive you israel, we hope your downfall will be as painful as the pain you have caused every single Palestinian.

OP isn't exaggerating. There are countless of videos of the IDF shooting at crowds of Palestinians trying to find food for themselves and their starving families. The UN World Food Programme even suspended delivering aid because the IDF won't stop shooting people.

Literally none of Israel's narrative makes sense not just from a propaganda standpoint but from an objective standpoint. There is no possible way to spin this in Israel's favor. Just blatant shameless cruelty.
US government's response:
Tumblr media
Sounds much like the carefully worded headlines you see in media outlets like New York Times. And even this poor attempt at excusing Israel's actions doesn't hold up because such "concern" about death directly contradicts the fact that the US government refuses to support a ceasefire.

Armed IOF forces in tanks were “afraid” of starving, unarmed, noncombatant, Palestinian civilians
Tumblr media
The Israeli army has issued a statement concerning the massacre its forces are accused of commuting in northern Gaza in which at least 77 Palestinians were killed while they were waiting for humanitarian aid.
The Israeli army called starving Palestinians waiting for food aid around humanitarian trucks a “violent gathering” which made its soldiers feel “unsafe,” the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
Israeli soldiers then proceeded to indiscriminately open fire on hungry Palestinians, killing dozens and wounding hundreds.
Much of Gaza's population is on the brink of famine as a result of the Israeli blockade according to the UN and other humanitarian organisations.

🚨 Resistance News Network:
War criminal and American president Joe Biden announced moments ago that the US will carry out food aid airdrops to the #Gaza Strip in the coming days.
This disgraceful show comes after the martyrdom of 30,000 Palestinians in a genocide with full military and political support from Biden's administration, after the US cutting off financial support for UNRWA to provide aid following ludicrous allegations, and after three US vetoes of UN Security Council ceasefire resolutions.
In the shadow of the Flour Massacre, Biden sends a message, like Arab regimes, that opening land corridors for aid is futile, obeying the whims of the occupation and further solidifying that the miniscule amount of aid carried by airdrops is the only path for relief. This move aims to divert attention from the heinous zionist-perpetrated massacre, which the US blocked a condemnation of in the UN yesterday, despite overwhelming proof [referring to the findings by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor] of the IOF's intent.
The US, with this superficial facade, seeks to restore its shameful image as the driver of this war by providing drops of aid that do not meet the needs of the starving and besieged masses in the Gaza Strip, all while the IOF continues to massacre Palestinians in an ongoing genocide.
As one American plane drops food into Gaza, another plane drops weapons for the IOF to continue its massacres, siege, and genocide.

Israeli troops fired on a large crowd of Palestinians racing to pull food off an aid convoy in Gaza City on Thursday, witnesses said. More than 100 people were killed in the chaos, which has since been termed the "flour massacre."
This brutal attack has rightly drawn condemnation from many quarters, including from protestors in Tel Aviv, who held up flour bags with red paint on them in protest against the massacre.
(Edited to remove a couple lines that expressed a conclusion I'd jumped to too hastily, which has since been corrected.)
