this was on purpose. the World Central Kitchen notified the IDF about their movement, and their vehicles were clearly marked. there is no way this was an accident. the IDF purposely killed aid workers delivering food to Gaza. if this isn't an indicator of their genocidal intentions, i don't know what is

    It also wasn't just 1 car, they hit 3 separate WCK cars 1km apart from each other. Killing 7 international aid workers.

    The ones whose paycheck depends on believing it, yeah. Everyone that received support from AIPAC, the mainstream media, etc. They just need the thinnest excuse to parrot and somehow manage to live with themselves.

    The World Central Kitchen charity suspended delivery of food to starving Palestinians on Tuesday - this was the real goal of the attack.

    This murder was so precise you can still read the marking on roof.

    Edit: Hey look a coward let us know their presence by downvoting and not replying. Typical behavior from someone who supports killing civilian volunteers that are trying to minimize a genocide.

    Israel claims it was unintentional.

    This is the fourth clearly marked and coordinated aid convoy that I can recall getting hit just from news stories.

    The only thing unintentional about this was killing passport holders from western countries. This is a clear pattern of targeting aid convoys.

    I bet that was intentional as well. Their strategy is to starve Gaza, and after these killings all international aid agencies are pulling out. No food will be going in. It's the same with their targeting of reporters and their families: they don't want information to come out either.

    Intentional or blatantly incompetent, it's quite clear that Israel is using the same playbook as Putin when he strikes civilians in Ukraine.

    Israel is way worse than Putin: all it takes is looking at the numbers of civilian deaths in merelly the first month of the Israelli attack on Gaza compared to the whole of the Invasion of Ukraine.

    Not excusing Putin by the way, just pointing out how much more extreme Israel is in the Fascist scales.

    You get the impression that Putin has no care at all about human life, but he is not driven by extreme racism, whilst Israel most definitelly is driven by extreme racism and hence they're activelly trying to exterminate an entire etnic group whom they call "human animals" which is why we keep on seeing from them all varieties of barbarous acts, not just bombings with massive "building" (500lb) and "residential block" (2000lb) wipping bombs and targetting humanitarian vehicles like this but even the use white posphurous against civilians and snipping of childrem.

    Next to them Putin is merely a Fascist whilst Israel are full-on Nazis.

    Precision Murder

    Let’s please call it what it is.

    Anyone notice how Israel is apologetic for killing foreign aid workers but treats the deaths of non-combatant Palestinians with complete and utter indifference?

    Are they even apologetic? They're just doing the classic cop thing of 'investigating' this incident for the next 2 years until we all forgot about this because they went on to do even worse shit.

    Look at how they slow walked the admission that they (probably purposefully) murdered Shireen Abu Akleh (Also an American citizen BTW) by first accusing Palestinians, then settling on the wild story of multiple stray bullets hitting her in the back behind cover.

    No consequences for that, and they've just kept escalating more and more since.

    You think?

    It was a small enough projectile that hit right directly on one small truck with enough destructive power to kill the occupants but not so much that it would completely blow up the entire vehicle.

    Can't get any more precise than that ... unless it was a sniper that would just shoot one person.

    Whaaaat? You're telling me that the IDF, the only ones in the region with airstrike capabilities are responsible for the three separate and highly coordinated attacks on clearly marked food aid vehicles for starving Palestinians? Surely it was Hamas, the group that would only serve to benefit from these vehicles making their way into Gaza to feed their starving people as well as themselves.

    In other news, sky blue.

    Usually not the biggest fan of bellingcat because they tend to be overconfident (and often wrong as a result), but when you have a surplus of information like in this case there's little they can deny...

    If Israel can get away with USS Liberty, they can probably get away with about anything.

    They know they can get away with anything, and it's making all of us less safe. I don't get how policy makers in the West don't see that this is going to cause waves of lone wolf attacks in the next decades, especially if they allow Israel to go through with their plan to push Gazans into Egypt.

    And that's just taking the purely selfish view, not the obviously morally correct view of not allowing genocides to happen and pushing for justice for all peoples, something nobody in charge in the West outside of Ireland seems to be interested in.

    That makes it sound like there was any doubt. No, even they admit it. They just swear it was three precision oopses up and down a 2 kilometer stretch, on a convoy that was phoned in and clearly marked.

    Israel has been touting the WCK as an alternative to UNRWA. This actually hurts their image. If this is indeed a precision strike, I wonder if there are competing factions within the Israeli military, with diverging agendas...

    Uh oh! If Israel kills 3 or 400 more Aid Workers they might only get a COUPLE of Fighter Jets instead of a TON of Fighter Jets from Biden!

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) said they had coordinated the convoy’s movements with the Israel Defense Forces.

    In response to the strike, the IDF stated that it “is conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.”

    Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday the aid workers were killed in an “unintended strike.”The destroyed vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike, which only the IDF has the capability to conduct in the region.

    The WCK said: “the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route.”

    Although not possible to be certain without fragments of the munition itself, the WCK vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike by inert or low-yield missiles.

    Some, called “electro-optically guided” are physically directed to their target by an operator watching a TV feed, such as the Spike NLOS.
