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.

Democrats provided the precision munitions that caused this atrocity.

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

Not just them. Several aid and medical NGOs are leaving now.

What I'm reading from this is "they murdered these aid workers on purpose".

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.

Precision Murder

Let’s please call it what it is.

[–] [email protected] 186 points 6 months ago (8 children)

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

This was 100% about stopping the WCK food shipment from cyprus, https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/second-ship-loaded-with-gaza-aid-cyprus-says-charity-2024-03-14/

Stop the genocide now!

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

Jesus took a shit. And people are buying Israel's story about it being an accident?

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.

This is like if the US drone striked a Food Not Bombs kitchen what the fuck.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

More accurately, this would be like if the United States conducted a drone strike on a Mexican taco stand in Tijuana.

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...

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Bellingcat is funded by the NED (National Endowment for Democracy) so a CIA front admitting to the assassination is interesting.

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.
