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.
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.
Bullshit stop talking out of your ass, you know nothing.
