The Gaza government media office on Friday condemned the discovery of oxycodone pills reportedly discovered in flour bags distributed by “American-Israeli” aid centres.

“We have so far documented four testimonies from citizens who found these pills inside the flour bags,” it said in a statement, warning of the “possibility that some of these narcotic substances were deliberately ground or dissolved in the flour itself”.

Oxycodone is an opioid meant to treat severe and long-term pain, often prescribed to cancer patients.

The drug is highly addictive and can have life-threatening effects, including breathing complications and hallucinations.

The media office’s statement comes after several social media posts shared images of pills purportedly discovered in flour bags in Gaza.

        I mean, current Europeans descend from steppe herders who conquered the previous farming population

        Even if you’re a European in Europe your ancestors were a band of marauding nomads

            Yes, so because some people replaced other people doesn’t mean you can’t have pride in where you’re from. That’s maybe the most ridiculous reason to hate Texans

      Also true, but that’s not the subject atm. Both can be true. The subject here is that Texas, and by extension, it’s history, and Texas pride is bullshit, as are most of its people. Born into trash, continued trash, and proud of their trash existence. Fuck Texas.

        People can’t help where they’re born, or genetic qualities, even if they’re designer babies, because that’s what their parents chose. Be proud of accomplishments you effected not off the backs of those who legitimately didn’t have a choice.

        But Californians should be proud to be Californians despite circumstances of the handover of California being largely similar?

            Name a country that didn’t displace the original population to exist

            Certainly not in the Americas, the Europeans colonized the shit out of it. Not even the UK where the English actively replaced the Irish in Northern Ireland.

            Not France, the Romans pushed out the Gauls and colonized it and forced everyone to speak Latin.

            Not even Lithuania, where the steppe nomads conquered the neolithic European farmers and took their women as wives

            Not even Ukraine, where the early homo sapiens displaced the Neanderthals with only a small amount of mixing
