Heartbreaking post from Chef Andrès this morning addressed to his friend Zomi, a aid worker assassinated by the Israeli government while in to feed starving .

"I’m sorry my friend…I wish I never founded @WCKitchen
..you would be alive somewhere today, smiling & making somebody somewhere feel like they were the most beloved person in the world…That how I always felt with you…"

How heartbroken & guilt-ridden do you think this man has to be to feel such regret, when he and the vast team that has built have fed billions of meals all across the globe to people in need?

How much good are you willing to destroy, to satisfy the Amalek genocide revenge fantasies of the Israeli right-wing @potus?

You are treating these aid workers like their lives mean nothing. After you've spent 6 months treating Palestinians like their suffering & deaths mean nothing.

is based on a +972Mag report:

WHICH EXPLAINS THE HYPE OF THE PAST 7 MONTHS

are not only hyping AI in their war against & USA's working classes; they do so while profiting from

BTW:
how can AI identify 37,000 HAMAS combatants if they supposedly only had 30-40,0000 by Oct 7?

and as the CIA has always low-balled them at 20-25,000?

Thank you so much! Just ordered a bunch. Less than $1 per mask; amazing. I hate when mask sellers go out of business, though; makes me anxious. We're going to need these for a long time. I hope not for avian flu.

Again, we owe it to these 7 #WCK volunteers to watch The #Gatekeepers, a documentary by an Israeli filmmaker who managed to interview 6 former directors of #ShinBet.

It opens with a frank discussion about the type of drone strike that #IDF used yesterday to assassinate 7 volunteers who were in #Gaza to provide food to #Palestinians whom #Israel has been starving for 6 months under its official policy of a #TotalSiege, imposed as #CollectivePunishment for #Hamas' actions.

@vinomadic

It is overwhelming. Everyone has to take care of themselves & calibrate how much is safe to do.

I do feel incredibly burnt out. It's hard to dredge up enough energy. I think of what the children, moms, dads, sisters & brothers of Palestine are being put through right now & let that move me.

The inhumanity sometimes knocks me flat. I try to keep coming back. If we don't protect them, it's our own backs we're stabbing. The more we allow this inhumanity, the more it will be inflicted

I am outraged and heartbroken by the deaths of seven humanitarian workers from World Central Kitchen, including one American, in Gaza yesterday.

Incidents like yesterday’s simply should not happen.

Here is my full statement.

chargrille,
@chargrille@progressives.social avatar

@potus

This was retribution by Israel against for daring to file a complaint with the IDF over one of their snipers targeting their aid workers SATURDAY when they were going to a food warehouse in area:

"The immediately filed a complaint with the IDF after the incident, & demanded the army stop the fire toward its staff, & guarantee their safety when distributing food in the Gaza Strip, which is carried out with full coordination"

@potus

Your statement is a bunch of carefully worded untruths.

This was so obviously a response from to World Central Kitchen humanitarian agency filing a complaint about the IDF shooting at their aid workers on Saturday.

This is the IDF immediately turning around & assassinating 7 of their volunteers - saying "shut up, don't complain, or we'll kill all of you"

Look at their deeds.

As we've seen today from you & Netanyahu & your spokesmen like Kirby & Miller - lies come cheap.

chargrille,
@chargrille@progressives.social avatar

@potus

Sure you are.

Lies are cheap.

Your deeds, & your use of OUR money, show your sympathies lie with the worst genocidaires in the Israeli government, like Smotrich & Netanyahu & Ben-Gvir - not Palestinians.

Americans oppose this genocide of . Only 34% backed it BEFORE this atrocity. 18% of Dems

Your ego is going to lose us this election & deliver America to the GOP fascists Netanyahu is in bed with, all because you won't listen to Americans. You're wrong & you can't admit it.

And at the end - Aaron David Miller says out loud what countless Muslim and Arab-Americans have told me, including some who’ve met with the President and his senior staff behind closed doors. [Q:] Yes, that’s very moving, but there is another kind of loss going on now which he apparently can’t conflate with his own experience. [A:] Oh, if you're asking me: Do I think that Joe Biden has the same depth of feeling and empathy for the Palestinians of Gaza as he does for the Israelis? No, he doesn't, nor does he convey it. I dont think there’s any doubt about that.

Q.& A BIDEN'S INCREASINGLY CONTRADICTORY ISRAEL POLICY A former State Department official explains the Administration’s sharpening public critique of Israel’s war and simultaneous refusal to “impose a single cost or consequence.” By Isaac Chotiner April 2,2024
New Gallup data released today shows that 55% of Americans disapprove of Israel’s military action in Gaza, while 36% approve. Only 18% of Democrats approve (down from 36% in November) along with 29% of independents (down from 47%) and 64% of Republicans (down from 71%).

Report today that 's military () just murdered 5 volunteers who were providing nourishing meals in .

The larger point is critical: What she (@seachanger) said >>>

@ World Central Kitchen @WCKitchen We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER. 418 PM - Apr 1,2024 - 1.8M Views
reminder that if Netanyahu & the US gets away with this in — targeting journalists, targeting hospitals and schools and refugee camps, starving millions of children, mass murder on the scale of tens of thousands, shutting down press, internet and information, killing humanitarian workers, preventing crucial aid convoy, firing on people receiving aid, and planning resettlement of regions based on ethnic identity — these methods will be normalized & advanced by other western nations & govts

The whole idea of deconfliction originated among people who share the same interests (law enforcement, allied armed forces).

It completely breaks down when the warring party is the one that is intentionally & methodically targeting every institution of civil society, like schools, hospitals, universities, news org HQs, doctors' & journalists' families & homes, etc.

We've seen multiple instances already where the civil org shared coordinates, & Israel used that info to bomb them.

IDF "executed tens of people point blank, including one of our colleagues, Dr. Ahmed al-Maqadmeh…& his mother, who's also a physician…to say that this is a strategic targeting of Hamas, is an insult to our intellect & our humanity."

"This is a direct targeting of health care workers…when they leave the hospital, civilians give them civilian clothing, b/c wearing scrubs is sticking a target…on their back. That is how systematically health care has been targeted"

@tparsi is really important to read on .

Presuming that Israel simply is breaking international law as part of the war but with no larger intent no longer holds IMO. [bold italics] Rather, Israel is seeking to either destroy these norms or create a new normal in which it - much like the US - will be untouchable above these laws and norms. This is the exact type of conduct that usually prompts the US to label a country a pariah or rogue state. The US accuses such states of seeking to destroy the "Rules Based Order." But so far, Biden has acquiesced to Israel's conduct in this area as well as all other aspects of Israel's slaughter in Gaza.
