OTOH, “laced with” sounds like it’s not containerized separately, but rather mixed in with the bulk of the flour. I don’t see the point of smuggling it that way if you can’t separate it out easily later. My instinct is that this is an intentional attempt to poison.
Edit: read the linked article, that seems to be exactly what this is.
The linked article shows an image of full pills discovered and just mentions powder as reported by other sources. Those that were in powder form (how would they even be able to recognize powdered oxy in flour?) could just be destroyed or poorly solidified pills.
The core question stands, how would mixing oxy with a thing that’s going to be baked be a viable plan? And why use oxy rather than something that is just a poison? There are so many more effective methods to kill an already vulnerable population than causing overdoses. And for the smuggling theory, there’s a whole lot of reason to smuggle oxy. It’s done all the time all over the world for abuse. And they’re critically short on medicine. Seems like a very straightforward plan and motivation there.
Maybe, maybe not, I would assume baking wouldn’t burn off all the chemicals. Not being a chemist, we really don’t know what chemical reactions may or not take place.
And why use oxy rather than something that is just a poison?
Because you can call them all drug addicts, or to inflict withdrawal on the unsuspecting. It’s not like cruelty is something the netanyahu regime has ever attempted to avoid.
And imagine trying to convince people that opioids can’t survive heat. Wonder why people who smoke crack keep doing it.
Or… you can just kill them. The Israelis aren’t subtle and don’t need Palestinians to be drug addicts to dehumanize them. They’re already calling them much worse.
This idea that it’s definitely not smuggling, something that happens everywhere for very mundane reasons and is instead a plan to leave some as drug addicts just doesn’t make sense.
Things that are “smoked” are destroyed by heat, that’s how the smoke happens. You don’t burn your drugs and then come back to eat the ashes, the good stuff is all gone by that point.
Of course there’s a market for food! And for drugs! And for literally just medicine! There are black markets during war. That’s why gangs raid trucks delivering free food rather than just waiting and taking their allocated share.
JFC, there have been reports of amputations being performed without painkillers and you guys are like “must be a devious plot to hook kids on oxy” rather than “yeah, I bet an opiate is a high-priority smuggling item”.
Don’t think all this genocide is just some unfortunate “side-effect”, there are sick and disgusting people preying on these people in far worse and far more malicious ways, so the idea of some group doing it simply for shits and giggles pretty plausible.
Is this smuggling or poisoning? I’m not sure I understand the intent behind why there’s drugs in the flour.
Someone starving with additional medical issues that have no health care would probably die from this, is my guess.
Gotta be smuggling. It seems unlikely oxy would survive baking.

Yet people smoke pills daily.
Implied in “smoke” is that the oxy is destroyed in the process. That’s how burning things works. They don’t light it and then eat the ashes.

So there’s no market for food in gaza but those evil addict children just want them some drugs!

I don’t give the netanyahu regime the benefit of the doubt, no.
Bullshit stop talking out of your ass, you know nothing.
