    Link.

    This will really pizz off Poland, the UK, Canada and of course, Australia.

    Israel is digging its own hole here, and how it deals with this incident will be telling.

    I'm not willing to say that it is one thing to slaughter innocent Palestinians but another to slaughter those international aid volunteers there trying to help, but, that point is still there.

    Israel will soon run out of friends, and it cannot afford to lose western support. Without that support, it would last a nano-second.

    This whole thing would end tomorrow of the West said, "No more, yer on your own and if you keep the slaughter up, we will stop you in your tracks."

    This is NOT playing well in Australia. The government here has been a strong supporter of Israel, but people don't like it when you kill their citizens, especially when they were just trying to feed people.

    Netanyahu is burning friends at a furious rate. He needs to work out an exit strategy while he is still able to make choices. Unfortunately I suspect his main focus is staying in power, which is leading him to make mistakes like this.

    The clock is ticking.

    Israel isn't doing itself any favors at this point in their campaign. They have certainly already won the military part, now they need to concentrate more in the occupation.

    They should be pissed off at Hamas. That makes perfect sense.

    These aid workers were in an active war zone. They knew the chances they were taking. Anyone with a brain understands that.

    Foreign aid workers aren't "being killed indiscriminately". Making that false claim is absolutely anti-Jew.

    They don't have much choice being backed into a corner and surrounded by people that want them dead (just because of different religious beliefs).
    Also, looks like you couldn't find any posts to show your condemnation of Hamas. Ahh, just as i thought.

    One I don't answer to you, and two, once again you make false accusations, since Israel is in the middle of Gaza now.

    If you don't answer to me then stop replying. You failed to deliver the goods. (as I predicted)
    Of course they are in the middle of Gaza right now. As I said, October 7th has CONSEQUENCES.

    Israel is on it....
    April 2 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday an Israeli airstrike that killed seven people working for celebrity chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen charity in Gaza was unintended and "tragic", and the military pledged an independent inquiry.

    Just because they won't surrender to Hamas doesn't mean they're doing something wrong.

    Not much in the way of marking. I would think from a jet the pilot would see them as just another Hamas group with being in the same vehicles. You need to do more than just tape a piece of paper so you can say we aren't Hamas because we are using there vehicles.

    So the commie press says. All the same Hamas trucks just without the camper. Maybe they shouldn't be working with Hamas and had brought in their own vehicles instead of just using there. That is how accidents happen.

    They were in a live fire zone. If they didn't understand the risks they were taking, then they were stupid.

    No they weren't. They had permission from the IDF to travel on that route. How else do you think food can be delivered

    They were still in a live fire zone. Occupying that area comes with an inherent risk.

    If everyone makes a big deal out of this vice chalking it up to the risk one takes when traveling in a war zone, then Israel can implement a simple fix: bar all aid workers from entering.
