I don’t think there’s any possible explanation for Israel assassinating food-aid workers from the fucking World Central Kitchen besides they’re trying to kickstart the famine. The workers had told the IDF exactly where they’d be, and their car had a big fat WCK logo on top. The White House calls World Central Kitchen “relentless” — a proper use of the term — in showing up to stop people from starving, but Netanyahu has shut them down, all food aid being returned to Cyprus unloaded. The White House, in yestertoday’s press briefing, notes Israel has killed more than 200 aid workers since Oct. 7. Netanyahu called the seven dead workers “unintentional.” Unbelievable, as in I don’t believe him. (AP)
