International food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) is suspending its operations in Gaza following the death of seven of its workers in an Israeli air strike.

    WCK said it had co-ordinated the convoy’s movements with the IDF when it was hit.

    WTF?! How could this happen? Is IDF that incompetent and must hit anything that moves?

    We need to start using U.S. troops to make these food deliveries. These types of “mistakes” would stop immediately.

      Maybe I’m above average here, but i feel like that’s already pretty obvious. AFAIK Israel is the only one currently genociding in Gaza. Now, if it WASNT Israel, that’d need the extra word.

      You only get so many words in a title, news orgs tend to leave out the ones that don’t need more explanation.

        it isn’t obvious to anyone reading mainstream news. news orgs are bending over backwards to obfuscate who’s actually doing the killing (one particularly egregious example being the NYT writing a whole-ass haiku instead of stating that Israeli soldiers opened fire on Palestinians seeking aid). sure, this particular headline would be ok if it was common knowledge that Israel is causing the wanton destruction in Gaza, but thanks to every other headline being like this, it isn’t

        I’ve seen articles that said 1,200 Israelis killed by Hamas and then the next sentence said 32,000 Palestinians killed…but didn’t say by Israel.

        The juxtaposition of those two sentences may lead some people to think that Hamas killed those tens of thousands.

        I agree with you regarding headlines, but the article text itself should make it very clear that the vast majority of civilians killed in this conflict were killed by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

      You should understand why news is now inherently a horrible thing and modern day journalism is dead because of it. This is the same for when they readily use “terrorists” in news presses.

        Except when the perpetrator is light skinned - then they are more careful with throwing that word around.

    the IDF hit the convoy three times with precision guided munitions over the span a couple of kilometers.

    the claim was that they had seen someone who was alleged to be an armed terrorist enter the building hours before the convoy departed from it.

    Israel gotta make sure to “accidentally” kill food aid workers so its “accidental” famine “accidentally” drives Gazans to desperation and death.

      Oh, but they have the right to self defense.

      You know, they rape the women in the neighboring country out of self defense.

      They bomb hospitals in the next country over out of self defense.

      They starve the population of the neighboring country out of self defense.
