If Israel can get away with USS Liberty, they can probably get away with about anything.
They know they can get away with anything, and it’s making all of us less safe. I don’t get how policy makers in the West don’t see that this is going to cause waves of lone wolf attacks in the next decades, especially if they allow Israel to go through with their plan to push Gazans into Egypt.
And that’s just taking the purely selfish view, not the obviously morally correct view of not allowing genocides to happen and pushing for justice for all peoples, something nobody in charge in the West outside of Ireland seems to be interested in.
This is like if the US drone striked a Food Not Bombs kitchen what the fuck.
More accurately, this would be like if the United States conducted a drone strike on a Mexican taco stand in Tijuana.
Or a food kitchen helping the needy in Mexico. Not sure why it became a taco stand.
Because lemm.ee posters have this insufferable, just-north-of-overtly-racist western chauvinism that seemingly gives them the greenlight to stereotype everyone and everything that’s not them
Or like if the US drone struck a wedd… Hrm.
I meant inside the US
Or a World Central Kitchen in Texas. When Hurricane Harvey struck, they were there helping feed survivors.
Usually not the biggest fan of bellingcat because they tend to be overconfident (and often wrong as a result), but when you have a surplus of information like in this case there’s little they can deny…
Bellingcat is funded by the NED (National Endowment for Democracy) so a CIA front admitting to the assassination is interesting.
Conflating Bellingcat with the CIA is a hilariously bad take.
“Last year marked the final year of project funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) that provided funding for Russian-language workshops at no cost to journalists and human rights researchers based in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia and the Caucasus. We continued our project for the Swedish Postcode Lottery (SPL), which among others supported free trainings on ideological extremism for organisations in Europe.”
You seem to be misinformed. Also, provide proof that the NED is CIA, because that is quite a claim!
That is however a claim promulgated by the propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist State:
The United States has long used democracy as a tool and a weapon to undermine democracy in the name of democracy, to incite division and confrontation, and to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs, causing catastrophic consequences.

Wow, thanks for letting me know that the CCP actually knows what they’re talking about on this issue
Yep, look at all the democracy the state department is supporting right now in Pakistan.
Yeah the US doesn’t support “democracy”, they support the material interests of the US. Which occasionally, but certainly not always, overlap with free democratic elections
Holy shit CPC actually understands the reality. Too based and XiPilled.
The NED is not the CIA (and the degree of inter-agency cooperation is likely not much greater than that between the CIA and NSA), but it serves the same purpose as an arm of the US intelligence apparatus. This is indisputable, as admitted directly by the founder of the NED.
IIRC with the pending fall of the Soviet Union (the primary counterweight to US influence) the US no longer saw a need for covertly influencing governments.
this was on purpose. the World Central Kitchen notified the IDF about their movement, and their vehicles were clearly marked. there is no way this was an accident. the IDF purposely killed aid workers delivering food to Gaza. if this isn’t an indicator of their genocidal intentions, i don’t know what is
Worse, they purposely targeted and killed an American, and our government will still supply them weapons. Israel can do whatever the hell it wants with no punishment. I’m so disgusted at this point. Definatley not voting for Genocide Joe now.
would you rather Trump be in office instead?
I want neither of the two main options. Period. And my vote will reflect that. And if this country were sane, everyone’s vote should reflect that.
By the way, this is NOT the way you get votes for biden. Responding to unhappy voters with “BUT TRUMP” just makes us want to stay home. Get your candidate to earn my vote if trump scares you so badly. Because the democrats will just run someone MORE abhorrent four years from now.
I plan to flee the country if trump wins and have the means to do it. So if you’re so concerned, get the Democrats to shame their candidate into arguing for a ceasefire.
that’s all well and good, but one of the two will get in office no matter what. might as well suck it up and vote for the lesser evil.
besides, you said yourself which one you’d prefer. you’d flee the country if Trump got into office, and you acknowledge that the Democrats can be shamed into doing the right thing (unlike the Republicans). if it makes the choice more palatable, think of it not as a vote for someone but a vote against someone. not voting at all is complicity.
If every politician we can vote for is evil or a slightly ‘lesser’ evil, we need to do much more than vote anyway.
This was 100% about stopping the WCK food shipment from cyprus, https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/second-ship-loaded-with-gaza-aid-cyprus-says-charity-2024-03-14/
Stop the genocide now!
It also wasn’t just 1 car, they hit 3 separate WCK cars 1km apart from each other. Killing 7 international aid workers.
Jesus took a shit. And people are buying Israel’s story about it being an accident?
The ones whose paycheck depends on believing it, yeah. Everyone that received support from AIPAC, the mainstream media, etc. They just need the thinnest excuse to parrot and somehow manage to live with themselves.
Precision Murder
Let’s please call it what it is.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) said they had coordinated the convoy’s movements with the Israel Defense Forces.
In response to the strike, the IDF stated that it “is conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.”
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday the aid workers were killed in an “unintended strike.”The destroyed vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike, which only the IDF has the capability to conduct in the region.
The WCK said: “the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route.”
Although not possible to be certain without fragments of the munition itself, the WCK vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike by inert or low-yield missiles.
Some, called “electro-optically guided” are physically directed to their target by an operator watching a TV feed, such as the Spike NLOS.
The original article contains 979 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 83%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This murder was so precise you can still read the marking on roof.
downvoting your edit.
Do you condemn Israel, cac?
Username checks out.
whining about downvotes is a cunty thing to do.
Nah man. Look through this thread, or any thread related to Palestine and you’ll see entirely reasonable posts downvoted by zionists fascists.
It’s not about the downvote per se, it’s about the person that does it and letting them know they are seen for exactly what they are.
The World Central Kitchen charity suspended delivery of food to starving Palestinians on Tuesday - this was the real goal of the attack.
Yep. Israel will just investigate themselves and say whoopsies but the message couldn’t have been more clear.
They’re fucking evil.
Not just them. Several aid and medical NGOs are leaving now.
It seems IDF has a serious drug induced psychosis. Hamas everywhere!!!
That’s fucked up but not unexpected sadly.
Democrats provided the precision munitions that caused this atrocity.
Is it just Democrats or was it a bipartisan deal? do you have any links to support the claim?
Who is in power.
If a Republican was in power, would it be bad or worse for Palestinians?
It would be the same. When it comes to matters of maintaining the Empire, both parties are the same (although Republicans tend to overestimate its power in ridiculous ways, ironically hastening its decline).
On domestic issues there’s slight differences like who runs the EPA, NLRB, FTC, etc.
This isn’t about the Republicans. This is about YOUR party doing genocide. Deflecting to the greater evil doesn’t negate that fact AT ALL.
Who’s blocking the majority of legislation the ruling party is trying to enact? Republicans.
Nope can’t deflect to the Republicans this time; Democrats overwhelmingly voted to send munitions to an active ongoing genocide.

Meanwhile Republicans also want to support Israel but NOT Ukraine;
Biden’s administration is trying to pressure Netanyahu into ensuring civilians are protected, Trump on the other hand would happily escalate it. He has no respect for human life.

None of this addresses the fact they actively support the genocide. You can post as much as you want about the republicans being worse but i’m not telling you to vote for the republicans, i’m telling you not to vote for genocide. Passively supporting evil is still supporting evil.
Only one side is actually working against genocide here, maybe go learn some history and stop listening to propaganda
Do you condemn Israel?
Better vote for Trump then!
You either vote for the polite fascist or you vote for the rude fascist
I’m starting to understand why people on the left hate literals so much. I am going to fucking scream.
Literally?
Uh oh! If Israel kills 3 or 400 more Aid Workers they might only get a COUPLE of Fighter Jets instead of a TON of Fighter Jets from Biden!
The World will remember that…
Remember what?
Removed by mod
Three missiles hit three vehicles directly that were spaced hundreds of meters apart. Nothing on purpose about that, nope, not at all.
Anyone notice how the Israel is apologetic for killing foreign aid workers but treats the deaths of non-combatant Palestinians with complete and utter indifference?
Are they even apologetic? They’re just doing the classic cop thing of ‘investigating’ this incident for the next 2 years until we all forgot about this because they went on to do even worse shit.
Look at how they slow walked the admission that they (probably purposefully) murdered Shireen Abu Akleh (Also an American citizen BTW) by first accusing Palestinians, then settling on the wild story of multiple stray bullets hitting her in the back behind cover.
No consequences for that, and they’ve just kept escalating more and more since.
You mean the classic Israeli thing? They do this all the time. And 5 years from now when no one is paying attention they will admit it’s intentional
The Israeli president and prime minister have apologized. Not saying that’s anywhere near enough, but it is an official apologetic stance.
Dehumanize the enemy so you don’t feel bad about killing them. A classic genocide tactic.
