Israel-Gaza : Air strike kills World Central Kitchen heroes

That is the impression they're giving. Kill the small fries who can't shoot back.
Inability to shoot back isn't the issue.
Killing less than 10 WCK workers has 10^3 times the
effect because now WCK has stopped delivering food.
1,000 more Palestinians will die of starvation.
It's the smart thing to do....albeit evil.

From today's The Times of Israel:


The following is an excerpt ...

Following the deadly strike this week, Andrés harshly criticized the Israeli military on X, urging it “to stop this indiscriminate killing… stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon.”​
“We know Israelis. Israelis, in their heart of hearts, know that food is not a weapon of war,” he wrote Wednesday in Yedioth Ahronoth. “Israel is better than the way this war is being waged. It is better than blocking food and medicine to civilians. It is better than killing aid workers who coordinated their movements with the IDF.​
“The Israeli government needs to open land routes to food and medicine today. It needs to stop killing civilians and aid workers today. It needs to start the long journey to peace today,” he continued.​
“In the worst conditions, after the worst terrorist attack in its history, it’s time for the best of Israel to show up. You cannot save the hostages by bombing every building in Gaza. You cannot win this war by starving an entire population,” said Andrés. “The people of Israel need to remember, at this darkest hour, what strength truly looks like.”​

If there is a glimmer of a silver lining it may be that more and more Jews are demanding that long journey to peace.

Sorry, but in this case, the evidence speaks for itself -- plainly! Three separate vehicles, well marked, in places that Israel was informed that they would be, over a mile apart -- all hit! That clearly says, "No Accident."
Ok, again this is just conjecture by people that have no idea how war works. I know I don't know how a drone strike actually works. Wait for the evidence that they did know who they were and targeted them on purpose.

That seems an inadequate explanation.
- WCK informed Israel of its travel plans & coordinates.
- WCK had its logo on to of the car.
- The hole in the car's roof indicates a smart guided bomb.
- Such accuracy in identifying & striking the car strongly
suggests ability to see the logo on the car.

Its odd that none of the windows in sight were blown out? Just an observation.

You can't see the windows on the side the
bomb landed in. But it is odd for some
windows to remain intact.
Perhaps Israel used an incendiary device
rather than explosive bomb. Israel is known
for this, eg, dropping white phosphorus
(obtained from USA) on civilians.
Dang....that would be a painful way to die.
But hey....they're enemies of Israel.

You will be correct more often than not, when you see something that looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, you call it a duck.

A country is not better than what it does.
I think that's mostly a semantic objection to using patriotic rhetoric to support anti-war causes.
I think a more accurate interpretation of his words would be 'our citizens are better than the gross behaviours of our government'.
Americans have done the same as part of their anti-war movements. I don't agree with it but I don't think it's any sort of apologia.

Listening to interviews of Israelis, reading polls,
watching demonstrations, & seeing whom they
elect, I say that what Israel does strongly defines
the country.
USA too is defined by what it does, including
support for genocide of Palestinians.
This is not pretty. My country sucks.

USA would be even worse without the
pro-peace pro-justice elements.

This is not the fog of war; it's the blindness of malignant indifference. And, yes, the people trying to feed the hungry in the midst of carnage are heroes who should be lauded, not slaughtered.
Israel might eliminate Hamas but the next generation of terrorists will be "inspired" by the slaughter and nothing will really change. That is, of course, if the Israeli voices calling for ethnic cleansing don't get their way. Then the situation will get much worse.
I'd say some heads will roll then.
In the current Israeli government? Fat chance. They'll make sorry noises but that's it.

I aped your ad hominem to show that
the same tactic would apply to you.
I never had an ad hominem. Saying you are not a war expert or are just offering conjecture is true. Telling me I am protecting genocidal behavior because I don't know if this attack was on purpose or not is an ad hominem.
