Killing of 5 Foreign Aid Workers from the World Central Kitchen

This is despicable. I cannot see how this can be accidental when the 3 separate vehicles were all hit in what looks like extremely precise attacks. The seven workers who were killed were the best of us; compassionate and selfless people doing their best to help the people of Gaza. And they were murdered for it.

I was just reading a comment as per hareetz they thought a terrorist was with them so they targeted the vans 3 times to kill the terrorist (never mind the innocent aid workers) but the terrorist stayed behind in the warehouse
so yeah they targeted because they wanted to kill the terrorist. Things like this happen in wars blablabla.

the reality is they’re killing anyone helping palestines. They did in the north corridor by killing local police officers that were helping providing aid at the north, they’ve killed urnwa and accused them of being terrorists and now it’s wkc. And any other organisation doesn’t want to take the risk. Wkc has been in many wars and natural disasters providing food and I believe never has this happened before

It’s because people are scared of being accused of being “antisemitic”.

I have no affiliation or loyalties to either side but I do know a bit about Israeli tech, and I don't believe a word of their claim that it was an accident.

My belief is this was completely intentional, pre-meditated and designed to discourage aid agencies from bring supplies into Gaza.

The Israelis did it on purpose IMHO. They are beneath contempt. We should expel their ambassador. They are now nothing more than any of the other rogue states and need to be treated as such.

Absolutely. I have just watched him on the BBC and that's his response, broadcast on our state network, to the Israeli army hunting down and murdering British citizens (*if Israeli press is to be believed about what happened)
James Henderson, ex marine aid worker ,murdered running from car to car by an Israeli soldier sitting safe and snug somewhere pressing buttons. If anyone didn't believe reports of the IDF doing this to innocent civilians before, they will now.

Yep. Lots and lots of ‘mistakes’. All ‘regrettable’. Maybe the IDF should channel some of its vast defence budget into extra training for personnel in how to differentiate between…let’s say…armed enemy fighters and a marked food aid convoy….kids’ Ramadan fireworks and a rocket launcher. Just a couple off the top of my head.

@anotherlevel I'm lost for words. It's sickening.

This telegram channel needs to be taken down.

No it started in 1948. Hamas wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Israeli violence against the Palestinians, not to mention Bibi's suitcases of cash which kept them funded. Netanyahu is Frankenstein and Hamas is his monster. Let's also not forget that it was the US who pressured Israel to hold the elections which brought Hamas to power.

Do you mean the governments who were normalising relations with Israel before the Israeli government decided to commit genocide? Sure there are some hostile neighbours but despite repeated provocation from Israel they haven't launched all our war yet.

I can't see any public support for deploying British troops to the ME to join any side, although our politicians do seem to think they can do whatever the hell they want so who knows.

Israel is destroying itself, that's not our problem. We have squandered any moral authority we may have had by defending their right to commit genocide and supplying them with the means to do it.

Yep! 100%

Hypocrite (rishi)

The fact 3 Britons doing aid work have been killed by a foreign army should be on the front page of every newspaper here. It’s shocking there isn’t more of an outcry yet over this.

Rishi Sunak@RishiSunak All our thoughts are with the families of those killed in this shocking strike, including three British aid workers.

Israel must explain how this tragic incident happened and take immediate steps to protect aid workers and facilitate vital humanitarian operations in Gaza.

I'm sure the ICJ had something to say about facilitating humanitarian aid, quite some time ago.

Netanyahu looks gleeful in his video! Like a child that’s snuck themselves a few extra sweets! It’s disturbing.

UK summons Israeli ambassador over killing of British aid workers in Gaza airstrike

Reuters has a quick snap that the UK is to summon the Israeli ambassador over the deaths of three British nationals killed in an Israeli airstrike on an aid convoy in Gaza that yesterday killed seven people in total.

Getting tough now

Hopefully related with will stop selling weapons to Israel as of today. Any other words are just pure hypocrisy

They’ll say they thought there was a Hamas member in the car like it says in the hareetz report that they thought there was a member but had stayed in the warehouse. Shall we believe them?

And provide the weapons

This seems to be getting worse, not better. Sky News say there will be 'a statement from the UK Government' within the hour.

Another NGO pausing their humanitarian work

Project Hope, which operates clinics in Rafah and Deir al Bala, has issued a statement about the killing of seven humanitarian aid workers in an Israeli airstrike yesterday. The organisation says it has suspended its humanitarian work for three days pending a security review.

I know - not even trying to sound sincere/convincing

Atm at the top of the Guardian live-feed is the clip of Netanyahu saying it was 'unintentional' - fleeting smiles ?tells pass across his face [easier to see without the sound]

Sadly the joke is on us

@Efacsen it's a joke, who does the IDF think they are still fooling with their fake concern for humanitarian workers? It's a disgrace.

This makes me so angry bunch of murdering thugs. How can this be a mistake. They fired on the first clearly marked vehicle. The workers managed to escape to the second vehicle which was then fired on. The third vehicle came back to aid the wounded which was then fired on too Killing them all. How will our government still defend this?
