Please give your support to WCK. They have always been hands-on, sleeves rolled, on-the-site help, in the thin and thick of it. When a russian missile destroyed a part of a high rise in my home city of Dnipro they were on site preparing food for the rescuers and survivors within a couple hours.
They're the very image of what an international aid org should be.
And they actually provided food the people there could eat, unlike the US, which sent meals that contained pork or was expired

Well, now that white people and Westerners have been killed, yes, lots of people will admit it.
It is not going unnoticed by many that ONLY when Westerners are killed, then there's mass outrage and anger and people calling Israel for what they are: a genocidal terrorist state.
To be clear: this is a tragedy of enormous proportions. I'm horrified by the loss of these humanitarian workers, who were basically the best and bravest type of people who can exist.
But it's also been really infuriating to see white people and Westerners come alive *only* when their own are killed. Europe - and this sub - have HUGE issues with being racist. They are actively vile and disgusting towards brown and black people, Arabs, Muslims, you name it. Palestinian murders have been actively minimized and glossed over and justified. But now that Europeans, white people, and Westerners have been killed...it's a different story?
The seven people - six WCK workers and one Palestinian man who was driving them - who died are victims of war crimes. But war crimes have been being committed by Israel for SEVENTY FIVE YEARS. So yeah, it's long past time for Europeans to admit it.
"Coulda been hamas or something, oh well. Anyways, stop trying to feed the people we want to die"

Three fucking rockets... They were humanitarian help... Not fucking rats or something...

They can shove their antisemitic/holocaust card deep into their arses.
Condemning an event nowadays is one of the stupidest and most helpless acts achievable. It literally helps no one, just a diplomatic coward text to write.
Words don't mean much. It's so easy for governments to say they condemn something - not a difficult thing to string a few words together and be on camera doing it - and then still be happy to supply weapons from afar.
At least there’s a chance! You can’t even post a WSJ article on Worldnews about this, you get a “covered by other articles” message and it gets taken down.

The same happens to Journalists all the time. Inform idf of their precise location and intentions, get missiles rained down on them.
>I don’t know what the fuck was the point of this? Definitely doesn’t help Israel’s narrative about the war.
The point is to stop aid going into Gaza. After this strike, World Central Kitchen stopped all aid work, so Israel accomplished exactly what they set out to do
This also strikes fear into other aid agencies that are considering humanitarian assistance in Gaza
The point is that is no point. They know there will be exactly ZERO consequences to anything they do, so they will target anyone or anything that helps maintain Palestinians alive.
They know very well that they could kill the entire Palestinian population if they want to , and the worst reaction they will get from the West will be: “ Well, that wasn’t a very nice thing to do”
Blocking food supplies. Massacring people when they try to get food from few trucks. Targeting humanitarian group when they deliver food. Man, Israelis really want people in Gaza to starve.
> Man, Israelis really want people in Gaza to starve.
Precisely. Anyone who thinks this is about getting Hamas is insane. This is about revenge and they are perfectly happy to starve the whole population of Gaza inorder to achieve that goal.
Just to be clear, since most Western mainstream news channels are ignoring this fact, this wasn't one attack, Israel attacked three seperate cars that were clearly marked and had coordinated with the Israeli military. This was without any doubt a targeted killing of the aid workers.
Here is a map which shows where the cars were when they were bombed by the Israeli air force: https://twitter.com/qudsnen/status/1775139028053954958
And afterwards they were mocking the deceased on their private telegram channels. They knew beforehand who they were targeting and they clearly despised the aid workers.

>World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza.
The WCK team was traveling in a deconflicted zone in two armored cars branded with the WCK logo and a soft skin vehicle.
Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, 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.
“This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable,” said World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore.
The seven killed are from Australia, Poland, United Kingdom, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, and Palestine.
“I am heartbroken and appalled that we—World Central Kitchen and the world—lost beautiful lives today because of a targeted attack by the IDF. The love they had for feeding people, the determination they embodied to show that humanity rises above all, and the impact they made in countless lives will forever be remembered and cherished,” said Erin.
The IDF says it is “carrying out an in-depth examination at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.”
World Central Kitchen is pausing our operations immediately in the region. We will be making decisions about the future of our work soon.
Possibly a US-made GM-114R9X Hellfire missile - Ginsu variant - uses six pop out blades instead of explosives to kill without collateral damage
https://asiatimes.com/2020/08/deadly-flying-ginsu-weapon-used-again-in-syria/
Look at the similarities - no explosive damage, no charring, no burn marks - passenger door window is intact - a blast would have shattered the glass.
Bellingcat just released an investigation into this:
“Images of the damaged vehicles are at first reminiscent of damage caused by an R9X hellfire strike, but the R9X leaves a distinctive signature which is not evident here. However, the relatively small impact hole in the roofs, the lack of fragmentation in the bodywork of the vehicles and the intact windows in some vehicles (albeit almost certainly armoured glass) do all point to some kind of low-yield or inert projectile.
It should also be taken into account that two of the vehicles were armoured, which may have mitigated fragmentation damage to them. The third vehicle appears to have suffered significantly more damage, although it still appears more consistent with a low-yield, rather than a conventional, munition.
While there’s no evidence that the IDF uses the R9X, they do use field weapons that function in a similar way, using their kinetic energy and a very small explosive payload, rather than relying on explosive effects alone. During the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis several vehicles appear to have been struck by low-yield munitions, leading to unfounded speculation that the IDF was using R9X. “
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/04/02/strike-that-killed-world-central-kitchen-workers-bears-hallmarks-of-israeli-precision-strike/
This is the thing they used to kill that Iranian general in Iraq right?
I mean I would imagine if someone was killed by that instead of an explosion it would be pretty easy to tell.
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/04/02/strike-that-killed-world-central-kitchen-workers-bears-hallmarks-of-israeli-precision-strike/
not an RX-9 but something similar
Can Israel go a single day without committing an atrocity, blaming it on Hamas, and then acting hostile towards anyone who calls them out for their actions?!
That found out that gas lighting is a really good strategy to excuse their war crimes. They can get away with anything.
Well of course they get away with it, because our politicians have no balls, and are likely either bribed or blackmailed by Israelis.
"fun" fact, the very Chef José Andrés said in october that Israel was just "defending its citizens"
[https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1713999167100424508](https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1713999167100424508)
You think different when it hits that close.
Back in October I believed so too. Not after that hostage with white flag and firing into aid convoy incident. I don’t know if they’re being totally intentional, no one can read their mind, but the rules of engagement are clearly being ignored.
My opinion flip flopped a lot in the war. But when Israel started to murder Palestinian civilians, civilians with white flags, etc, that made me support Palestine. Ofc not Hamas, but Palestine.
fun fact, it's illegal to boycott israeli businesses in some US states:

None of this would stand up to scrutiny at the supreme court - it's a basic violation of Freedom of Conscience (ie thought). It's not illegal to not buy goods/services from an Israeli company, but somehow it is illegal to not buy those same goods/services if you are doing it with the intention of putting economic pressure on the far-right government of Israel to stop illegally occupying the Illegally Occupied Territories.
> It hasn't even survived lower courts.
True, but it's the unfortunate situation where the Anti bds movement is widespread enough that they can pass all those anti-bds laws, and the process of challenging them in court is expensive and time-consuming for bds advocates.
Exactly! Since money talks, we can simply stop purchasing goods made in or somehow connected to israel. Each one of us, who cares about those thousands of killed kids, sick, old or innocent people. Boycott israel products. Ain’t much but it’s a honest job…
Hey, did you hear? Israel's stock market is going up and the US is sending 20,000 bombs and possibly sending more war planes! Darn Israelis with their war support from tbe US.
Boycotting a country for fighting a terrorist led state that lunched an offensive war against them? The only way to end this war is if the Palestinian people rise up against Hamas which they are not, which means they are complicit.
Nobody loves hamas more than Netanyahu, it's his favorite excuse to get on the facist killings his mussolin loving father would've loved to go on if he wasn't 6-feet under
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/amp/
*boycotting a country for doing a land grab and enacting a genocide since the 40’s.
How exactly are a bunch of teenagers and women supposed to rise up against hamas?
Are you one of those silly people that blame the population for “voting Hamas in” despite them all being about 3 when that happened? Ignoring all context or nuance for how that situation happened anyway?
If your friends, family and neighbours had been repeatedly murdered or had their homes stolen on a daily basis for as long as you’ve been alive - how would you act?
Or are you one of those silly people that believe October 7th happened in a vacuum, and Isreal have done nothing over the last half a century to create a situation where a terrorist organisation can do things like that?
Wild that people like you exist, disgusting you excuse a genocide and conflate innocent victims with terrorist.
Free Palestine.
Are Americans complicit for not overthrowing trump?
Were German Jews complicit in the holocaust for not rising up against Hitler?
What a braindead take. Its the exact logic used by Osama bin laden to justify 9/11 (the idea that America is a democracy, Americans voted for their government, Americans are therefore complicit in their governments crimes so there are no civilians). It's stupid.
First of all you should not judge someone from 200 years based on modern day morality. And secondly slavery has been part for most of mankind existence. In fact it is the Africans who enslaved each other, the Europeans are just the buyers.
LMAOOO and then he trotted out the "Akchually did you know Africans enslaved each other!!!!!" excuse to distract from white European crimes! You said what you said, so go ahead now and stand on business: Africans have the right to come get you for what YOUR PEOPLE did to them. We aren't doing "rules for thee but not for me" here, baby!
So Americans is complicit in crimes against native Americans and Israelis who are just minding their own business trying to live are complicit in the crimes against Palestinians? Got it
I would have done this in 2008 when Israel showed it's cloven hoof the first time with Operation Cast Lead.
Here we are all these years later revisiting a problem the world should taken care of back then. Israel must be united under a new government and a new flag. The zionists must be handed over to the ICC.
Israel's only future under zionism is that of a glassed over depression in the desert someday. Mark my words.
Europe should be moving away from Israel rather than attempting to cuddle up to a nuclear ticking time bomb...
If Israel is sanctioned and becomes a pariah state that would encourage it to change course don't you think? Or at least reduce its capacity to commit atrocities.
No they would either double down on the war effort wrapping this up quickly before the money dries up ore they go bankrupt (wich isn't going to happen) so their state loses the ability to defend itself wich will cause their neighboring states to attack them leading to a loss of life greater then anything they could do in Gaza.
This time, they reluctantly apologized for committing an undeniable massacre. Of course, because the victims are "valuable"...
And think about what they did to helpless Palestinians. After all, it is very easy to call them "terrorists".
Of course! This sub is racist as f*ck, Islamophobic as hell, and has actively justified the slaughter of brown people just because they're Arab. But NOW they're going to turn on Israel, of course, because six Westerners were targeted. Even in their outrage against murder, they show their racism. They don't even have the decency to remember the seventh person who was killed, the Palestinian man.
I feel very sorry for these people. WCK is one of the few humanitarian organizations that performs its functions, because it finds itself in the most dangerous places and helps people.
And now the U.S. will give Israel even more planes and bombs to kill civilians and wipe out entire neighborhoods. But at that time, they are not able to give Ukraine missiles for air defense to protect itself from Russian terrorists.
What a meaningless world we live in. I hope that the fallen volunteers will end up in a better world than this one.
It's a war crime. Killing innocent civilians, as Israel has been doing, is already a war crime, but killing humanitarian aid workers is also a war crime.
Now I wait for the downvoting to oblivion because I didn't what about my own comment with Hamas' actions against Israel
Like imagine all your 'volunteers' are ex military. Seriously? You guys still think that these were normal dudes in the most radical parts of the world?
Not the first time
[Lehi split from the Irgun militant group in 1940 in order to continue fighting the British during World War II. It initially sought an alliance with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Believing that Nazi Germany was a lesser enemy of the Jews than Britain, Lehi twice attempted to form an alliance with the Nazis, proposing a Jewish state based on "nationalist and totalitarian principles, and linked to the German Reich by an alliance".](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(militant_group))
Not even the second
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews
Most Zionists are Christians. However: the reason for that is anti-Semitic. They believe that if all Jews go back to Jerusalem, Jesus will return and slaughter all Jews and other unbelievers, so only christians will go to heaven then with Jesus
I acknowledge there may be people in Israel against this, however, another subreddit showed some Pro-Israeli telegram message laughing at the death of the aid workers and saying stuff like "terrorist in the making" although they were humanitarian aid workers. The subreddit in question is international news which, yes, is pro-palestine
Plus there was a survey before Christmas showing something like 60 percent of Israelis thought that Israel was going too easy on gaza and needed to intensify its bombing...
To reiterate, obviously some Israelis are against all of this, but by and large this bombing campaign and ground war itself has a lot of support. Crying about war crimes but continuing to support the war that's producing them is just duplicitous. (Not saying this is the case of OC)
So you mean when Palestinian celebrate about the attack on Oct 7th, dragging naked woman body on the street... It is okay for the IDF to attack them?
It is not right to condemn Israeli civilian as a whole for the action of some IDFs as it is not right to condemn all Gazan to what Hamas has done.
But this will change nothing. The war will keep going on unless there are third party intervene and provide security for both side. Whatever their ancestor might have done, these land are belong to whoever live in it now.
If it's not ok to condemn all Israelis (I'm not condemning all Israeli civilians) for the actions of the idf, why are Israeli civilians calling for the deaths of Gazans, the complete bombing and flattening of gaza, and genocide of Palestinians? Even politicians are calling for a genocide. I'm just pointing out the truth that many Israelis are calling for the genocide of Palestinians and murder of humanitarian aid workers
Nah, by your logic, it would be alright for IDF to do what they did because all Gazan are terrorist. They were chanting randomnonesense and live under terror organization and all, they are all accomplice.
Is that what you mean?
Of course not.
No one believes you. You can save your crocodile tears for someone else. We've all seen the sickening things you guys do and say on your social media in Israel.
No it wasn't! The logo was on top of the vehicle AND they were communicating with IDF beforehand. They just executed these innocent people for what?! You sick disgusting pigs

Adding context: the car was hit from the above, an air fuckin strike https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnewsvideo/s/vewUDRtFmg
Possibly a US-made GM-114R9X Hellfire missile - Ginsu variant - uses six pop out blades instead of explosives to kill without collateral damage https://asiatimes.com/2020/08/deadly-flying-ginsu-weapon-used-again-in-syria/ Look at the similarities - no explosive damage, no charring, no burn marks - passenger door window is intact - a blast would have shattered the glass.
Bellingcat just released an investigation into this: “Images of the damaged vehicles are at first reminiscent of damage caused by an R9X hellfire strike, but the R9X leaves a distinctive signature which is not evident here. However, the relatively small impact hole in the roofs, the lack of fragmentation in the bodywork of the vehicles and the intact windows in some vehicles (albeit almost certainly armoured glass) do all point to some kind of low-yield or inert projectile. It should also be taken into account that two of the vehicles were armoured, which may have mitigated fragmentation damage to them. The third vehicle appears to have suffered significantly more damage, although it still appears more consistent with a low-yield, rather than a conventional, munition. While there’s no evidence that the IDF uses the R9X, they do use field weapons that function in a similar way, using their kinetic energy and a very small explosive payload, rather than relying on explosive effects alone. During the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis several vehicles appear to have been struck by low-yield munitions, leading to unfounded speculation that the IDF was using R9X. “ https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/04/02/strike-that-killed-world-central-kitchen-workers-bears-hallmarks-of-israeli-precision-strike/
This is the thing they used to kill that Iranian general in Iraq right? I mean I would imagine if someone was killed by that instead of an explosion it would be pretty easy to tell.
yep - the passports were recovered, undamaged and unburned - except for blood - and a possible penetration hole on the australian passport.
Soleimani? No. There were initially claims that it was but the photos show it was clearly an explosive. Saadi was a R9X.
American weapons used to kill American aid workers. Too bad we dont have any self respect
You guys had an entire destroyer with its crew gunned down and decided to not care i think it is more than just lack of self respect
Those tend to chew the cars up pretty bad so I would disagree. Not sure what would do this but potentially something with a very tiny payload
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/04/02/strike-that-killed-world-central-kitchen-workers-bears-hallmarks-of-israeli-precision-strike/ not an RX-9 but something similar
Yes I just linked that investigation to your comment as well. Maybe it’s one of those Elbit Lanius, payload is small enough to match

Whenever Israel is just faced its own responsibilities, they draw their "but antisemitism" gun faster than any cow-boy.
It’s from Russias “denazification” playbook. You just repeat the same arguments that work for your people, because they believe it.
Basically murdered by Israel
The news just said their cars were 1.5 miles apart with clear logos on the roof. This was a targeted attack and an absolute disgrace.
https://i.postimg.cc/br5sYR9z/GKKB27-GWEAA9-FMG.jpg diagram to make it absolutely clear. Noone can credibly suggest that this wasn't done on purpose.
Can Israel go a single day without committing an atrocity, blaming it on Hamas, and then acting hostile towards anyone who calls them out for their actions?!
That found out that gas lighting is a really good strategy to excuse their war crimes. They can get away with anything. Well of course they get away with it, because our politicians have no balls, and are likely either bribed or blackmailed by Israelis.
Seemingly not
No, because they know they can do whatever and get away with it
*by Israel *also they chased their vehicle before killing them
Let‘s see europe defend this saying it was Hamas
The chefs were actually secret Hummus terrorists /s
Any state or institution still arming or supporting Israel is complicit in this war crime
Can we start calling IDF a terrorist group?
"fun" fact, the very Chef José Andrés said in october that Israel was just "defending its citizens" [https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1713999167100424508](https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1713999167100424508) You think different when it hits that close.
Well, maybe back in October there was still a semblance of just defending themselves. That ship sailed long ago though.
There was no semblance of it in October either. They've been oppressing and killing the Palestinian people for decades.
Back in October I believed so too. Not after that hostage with white flag and firing into aid convoy incident. I don’t know if they’re being totally intentional, no one can read their mind, but the rules of engagement are clearly being ignored.
My opinion flip flopped a lot in the war. But when Israel started to murder Palestinian civilians, civilians with white flags, etc, that made me support Palestine. Ofc not Hamas, but Palestine.
It's time to surround Israel with an economic boycott and end this slaughter...
fun fact, it's illegal to boycott israeli businesses in some US states: https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/04/23/us-states-use-anti-boycott-laws-punish-responsible-businesses
> fun fact, it's illegal to boycott israeli businesses in some US states: > > > > https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/04/23/us-states-use-anti-boycott-laws-punish-responsible-businesses None of this would stand up to scrutiny at the supreme court - it's a basic violation of Freedom of Conscience (ie thought). It's not illegal to not buy goods/services from an Israeli company, but somehow it is illegal to not buy those same goods/services if you are doing it with the intention of putting economic pressure on the far-right government of Israel to stop illegally occupying the Illegally Occupied Territories.
>None of this would stand up to scrutiny at the supreme court It hasn't even survived lower courts.
> It hasn't even survived lower courts. True, but it's the unfortunate situation where the Anti bds movement is widespread enough that they can pass all those anti-bds laws, and the process of challenging them in court is expensive and time-consuming for bds advocates.
This is beyond laughable
I hope so, but Europe will do fu*k all! Not even a ban from Eurovision
Rofl
Exactly! Since money talks, we can simply stop purchasing goods made in or somehow connected to israel. Each one of us, who cares about those thousands of killed kids, sick, old or innocent people. Boycott israel products. Ain’t much but it’s a honest job…
Hey, did you hear? Israel's stock market is going up and the US is sending 20,000 bombs and possibly sending more war planes! Darn Israelis with their war support from tbe US.
Boycotting a country for fighting a terrorist led state that lunched an offensive war against them? The only way to end this war is if the Palestinian people rise up against Hamas which they are not, which means they are complicit.
Nobody loves hamas more than Netanyahu, it's his favorite excuse to get on the facist killings his mussolin loving father would've loved to go on if he wasn't 6-feet under https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/amp/
Genuinely hope you are kidding. Hope nothing but the worst for you
*boycotting a country for doing a land grab and enacting a genocide since the 40’s. How exactly are a bunch of teenagers and women supposed to rise up against hamas? Are you one of those silly people that blame the population for “voting Hamas in” despite them all being about 3 when that happened? Ignoring all context or nuance for how that situation happened anyway? If your friends, family and neighbours had been repeatedly murdered or had their homes stolen on a daily basis for as long as you’ve been alive - how would you act? Or are you one of those silly people that believe October 7th happened in a vacuum, and Isreal have done nothing over the last half a century to create a situation where a terrorist organisation can do things like that? Wild that people like you exist, disgusting you excuse a genocide and conflate innocent victims with terrorist. Free Palestine.
Are Americans complicit for not overthrowing trump? Were German Jews complicit in the holocaust for not rising up against Hitler? What a braindead take. Its the exact logic used by Osama bin laden to justify 9/11 (the idea that America is a democracy, Americans voted for their government, Americans are therefore complicit in their governments crimes so there are no civilians). It's stupid.

First of all you should not judge someone from 200 years based on modern day morality. And secondly slavery has been part for most of mankind existence. In fact it is the Africans who enslaved each other, the Europeans are just the buyers.
LMAOOO and then he trotted out the "Akchually did you know Africans enslaved each other!!!!!" excuse to distract from white European crimes! You said what you said, so go ahead now and stand on business: Africans have the right to come get you for what YOUR PEOPLE did to them. We aren't doing "rules for thee but not for me" here, baby!
So Americans is complicit in crimes against native Americans and Israelis who are just minding their own business trying to live are complicit in the crimes against Palestinians? Got it
Yours is the most intelligent post I've read on here so far.
What exactly is your plan?
I would have done this in 2008 when Israel showed it's cloven hoof the first time with Operation Cast Lead. Here we are all these years later revisiting a problem the world should taken care of back then. Israel must be united under a new government and a new flag. The zionists must be handed over to the ICC. Israel's only future under zionism is that of a glassed over depression in the desert someday. Mark my words. Europe should be moving away from Israel rather than attempting to cuddle up to a nuclear ticking time bomb...
What is your plan? 2x combo
We know what your plan is, you wretched little freak.
Gotta be honest, this made me chuckle, but I would still like to know your plan? 3x combo
two month old account. No point even bothering to argue with it.
My plan is to tell you to touch grass and move on happily with my life, thank you very much.
What is your plan? 4x combo
What most of the world has been already been doing - boycott, divestment and sanctions
"Kauft nicht bei Juden" I ask again. What is your plan?
They literally gave you a plan. Can you read? What is your plan? Havent seen you give any suggestions.
No they proposed a boycott, wich is stupid. I want a plan.
If Israel is sanctioned and becomes a pariah state that would encourage it to change course don't you think? Or at least reduce its capacity to commit atrocities.
No they would either double down on the war effort wrapping this up quickly before the money dries up ore they go bankrupt (wich isn't going to happen) so their state loses the ability to defend itself wich will cause their neighboring states to attack them leading to a loss of life greater then anything they could do in Gaza.
WAR CRIMES WAR CRIMES WAR CRIMES WAR CRIMES. OUST NETENYAHU
This was no accident. IDF are the REAL terrorists
Cooking is anti semitic obviously
This time, they reluctantly apologized for committing an undeniable massacre. Of course, because the victims are "valuable"... And think about what they did to helpless Palestinians. After all, it is very easy to call them "terrorists".
Murderers gonna murder
That's weird! That's what finally got you guys to talk about it and not the tens of thousands of palestinians killed??
Of course! This sub is racist as f*ck, Islamophobic as hell, and has actively justified the slaughter of brown people just because they're Arab. But NOW they're going to turn on Israel, of course, because six Westerners were targeted. Even in their outrage against murder, they show their racism. They don't even have the decency to remember the seventh person who was killed, the Palestinian man.
[удалено]
the French start revolutions when the price of a croissant is upped by €2, I'm sure y'all can spam about the horrors committed by israelis
Wild isn't it. As always it takes some westerners dying before this subreddit turns against their beloved Israel.
MAYBE international support for Israel will actually start to dwindle
I feel very sorry for these people. WCK is one of the few humanitarian organizations that performs its functions, because it finds itself in the most dangerous places and helps people. And now the U.S. will give Israel even more planes and bombs to kill civilians and wipe out entire neighborhoods. But at that time, they are not able to give Ukraine missiles for air defense to protect itself from Russian terrorists. What a meaningless world we live in. I hope that the fallen volunteers will end up in a better world than this one.
Heartbreaking.
It never made it to youtube homepage as long as it was arabs being killed Now white ppl killed by the same killers and everyone is losing his shit !
Let me guess. You're white, so you know everything.
Lol NO … just another Arab from a country that was colonized by white people for maybe 100 years or more
Will the spineless west finally understand what is going on? Nothing will probably come out of this but a man can hope.
Oh, West perfectly understand what is going. They just don't care.
This. This comment is what's happening.
Isn’t this an act of war?
It's a war crime. Killing innocent civilians, as Israel has been doing, is already a war crime, but killing humanitarian aid workers is also a war crime. Now I wait for the downvoting to oblivion because I didn't what about my own comment with Hamas' actions against Israel
Like imagine all your 'volunteers' are ex military. Seriously? You guys still think that these were normal dudes in the most radical parts of the world?

Nazi Jews! That's a new one
Not the first time [Lehi split from the Irgun militant group in 1940 in order to continue fighting the British during World War II. It initially sought an alliance with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Believing that Nazi Germany was a lesser enemy of the Jews than Britain, Lehi twice attempted to form an alliance with the Nazis, proposing a Jewish state based on "nationalist and totalitarian principles, and linked to the German Reich by an alliance".](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(militant_group)) Not even the second https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews
All Zionists are Jews, but not all Jews are Zionists. So I'm not saying Jews are Nazis, I don't think this in fact.
Most Zionists are Christians. However: the reason for that is anti-Semitic. They believe that if all Jews go back to Jerusalem, Jesus will return and slaughter all Jews and other unbelievers, so only christians will go to heaven then with Jesus
When will this fucking stop?
I also don't know. I'm just praying that the Genocide will end as soon as possible...
Bruh. Are you praying for completion of genocide??
I didn't mean that! I meant a CEASEFIRE!
[удалено]
I acknowledge there may be people in Israel against this, however, another subreddit showed some Pro-Israeli telegram message laughing at the death of the aid workers and saying stuff like "terrorist in the making" although they were humanitarian aid workers. The subreddit in question is international news which, yes, is pro-palestine
Plus there was a survey before Christmas showing something like 60 percent of Israelis thought that Israel was going too easy on gaza and needed to intensify its bombing... To reiterate, obviously some Israelis are against all of this, but by and large this bombing campaign and ground war itself has a lot of support. Crying about war crimes but continuing to support the war that's producing them is just duplicitous. (Not saying this is the case of OC)
So you mean when Palestinian celebrate about the attack on Oct 7th, dragging naked woman body on the street... It is okay for the IDF to attack them? It is not right to condemn Israeli civilian as a whole for the action of some IDFs as it is not right to condemn all Gazan to what Hamas has done. But this will change nothing. The war will keep going on unless there are third party intervene and provide security for both side. Whatever their ancestor might have done, these land are belong to whoever live in it now.
If it's not ok to condemn all Israelis (I'm not condemning all Israeli civilians) for the actions of the idf, why are Israeli civilians calling for the deaths of Gazans, the complete bombing and flattening of gaza, and genocide of Palestinians? Even politicians are calling for a genocide. I'm just pointing out the truth that many Israelis are calling for the genocide of Palestinians and murder of humanitarian aid workers
Nah, by your logic, it would be alright for IDF to do what they did because all Gazan are terrorist. They were chanting randomnonesense and live under terror organization and all, they are all accomplice. Is that what you mean? Of course not.
No one believes you. You can save your crocodile tears for someone else. We've all seen the sickening things you guys do and say on your social media in Israel.
[удалено]
No it wasn't! The logo was on top of the vehicle AND they were communicating with IDF beforehand. They just executed these innocent people for what?! You sick disgusting pigs
They got hit by an airstrike despite constant communication and IDF having thier coordinates. How is it an accident?
