An international charity suspended delivery of food to starving Palestinians on Tuesday, a day after an Israeli airstrike killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen who were trying to ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Ships still laden with some 240 tons of aid from the charity that arrived Monday turned back from Gaza, according to Cyprus, which has played a key role in trying to establish a sea route to bring food to the territory.***
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that the country’s forces had carried out the “unintended strike ... on innocent people.” He said officials were looking into the strike and would work to ensure it did not happen again.
World Central Kitchen said it had coordinated with the Israeli military over the movement of the cars carrying the workers as they left northern Gaza late Monday. Footage of the aftermath showed a vehicle with the charity’s logo printed across its roof to make it identifiable from the air. The projectile punched a large hole through the roof. Two other vehicles in the convoy were incinerated and mangled, indicating multiple hits.

The strike also underscored what critics have called the Israeli military’s disregard for civilian casualties in its Gaza campaign, which it says is aimed at destroying Hamas after its Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.
Throughout the war, Israeli forces have shown readiness to inflict widespread destruction when they believe a suspected militant is present or when ground troops see a tactical need to strike.
Homes with families sheltering inside are leveled by strikes almost daily. The military has struck ambulances and aid vehicles, saying that armed fighters were in them.

The ships should turn back around and deliver the aid.
When we carpet bombed Dresden, did we worry about civilians?
Should we have? NO!
It’s a war zone.
As Richard Nixon said “War is Heck!”
Show me the entire transcript ... I'm fairly certain this cut-and-paste is a hit-job on what he actually said.
AP = All propaganda
What innocent people? They were bringing aid and comfort to Israel’s enemy.
Wish I had known that. Ate at his restaurant in DC. Have to say is was very good. Didn’t know he was an @ss. My mistake.
A pack of lies.
“With famine looming, aid group halts food delivery in Gaza after Israeli strike kills 7 workers”
perhaps that was the point of the strike

Too bad, not sad. The Paliwogs brought this upon themselves. Live in peace with your neighbors, or generate your very own self fulfilled Death Wish.
Don’t start a war. That simple.
Were you cheering on the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty too?
Even during WWII Germany permitted aid from the allies to reach the POWs.
Well uh, oops!
And you know for a fact that there were no unintentional attacks on aid workers that Germany supposedly allowed in for the POWs? It’s a war, FFS. Sh!t happens.
This war stops the moment Hamas surrenders and releases the hostages.
Why does no one say that?

“Even during WWII Germany permitted aid from the allies to reach the POWs.”
They aren’t POWs. They’re hostages. And Hamas hasn’t allowed any access to them. They’re worse than the Nazis. At least they let the Red Cross in.

The aid workers shouldn’t have been shooting at the IDF.
Birds of a feather and all that.
