Erin Gore, the WCK chief executive, said: “This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organisations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable.”
The charity will pause its operations in the region and says it will make a decision about the future of its work, raising fears that a nascent maritime corridor from Cyprus to deliver desperately needed aid to Gaza in the face of repeated Israeli obstructions may collapse.
This is no longer an Israeli problem. Netanyahu isn’t the problem anymore.
It’s the world and our world leaders where we all know what’s wrong, we all disagree with it, we all despise it … but we all choose to just stand aside and do nothing.
In the case of many first world nations, including Canada where I’m from, we choose to give Israel money and arms and military support to continue the genocide while our government continually makes weak hearted empty statements.
Canada says it isn’t openly supporting militarily but everyone is using so many loopholes and back doors for Israel that money and support is still flowing towards funding this genocide.
Israel isn’t the problem … all of us are because we’re abandoning world peace just so one nation can get away with whatever it wants, including mass indiscriminate killing and genocide.
When you read about the Holocaust and the Nazis, you like to imagine you’d be the good guy. You’d fight the Nazis, you’d free the concentration camps. But apparently I wouldn’t. Apparently I would have just sat there paralyzed, incapable of doing anything about the genocide I see every day. Unable to think of any way to help. All I can do is retweet and protest and write a stupid blog post. I feel so stupid.
“Murdering tens of thousands of children was already pushing it, but killing seven of celebrity chef Jose Andres’ staff is just a bridge too far.”
Just when you think you know a country. If Israel keeps it up, it’s going to be hard to avoid the difficult conclusion that they’re being real jerks.
Nobody is going to stand for this. Jenny was unparalleled at making the cheese crisps we used to stand up in the lentil souffle. Israel is almost as awful as a bad tipper.
Ouch. Good thing I’m not a tipper
This should really be the impetus to stop all current and future arms trades with Israel. At least force a guarantee from them that they will avoid attacking civilian areas, and if they don’t comply, all deals are permanently off.
It’s crazy that we are unable to even go near the topic of “punishing israel for breaking international laws and human rights violations”. It’s just “let’s give them one more chance and if they can’t resist their bloodthirst maybe we should stop trading arms with them. Maybe”
It’s clear how much the western governments need israel. Or maybe it’s a reminder of America’s power
I agree. It’s mainly for diplomatic relations that we can’t immediately go from arming then to punishing them – although I am certainly in favor of the latter. With how things stand, a slower approach of giving them one chance to stop fucking up before cracking down hard is probably more realistic and would have more support.
I mostly agree with you, except there are no non-civilian areas. That’s the reason the “Hamas are using civilians as human shields” argument is so stupid. It’s one of the most densely populated regions in the world. There are civilians/civilian infrastructure everywhere. Israel isn’t trying to avoid targeting civilians though, and they should be forced to try, instead of purposefully targeting them.
Wew israel going for the nationality bingo card.
This is ridiculous. Where is common decency?
The largest mass killing campaign in recent memory wasn’t enough to convince you that Israel is the farthest possible point from decency?
Who needs decency when you have American missiles.
WCK? You mean World Central Khamas? Because that’s what they’ll be called by Israel probably.
‘We are sorry, it was dark so we couldn’t quite see who we were targetting’
