The only reason they’re apologizing is because some of them were foreign nationals. If they’d all been Palestinians, Israel would be talking about the Hamas terrorist cell they’d destroyed.

Surprised Israel has yet to claim there was a “Top Hamas official” and tunnel underneath the aid vehicle.

Remember, these are the geniuses who killed their own hostages with literal white flags raised and entirely unarmed.

I’m surprised that they didn’t claim that their Palestinian driver was just KHAMAS.

“Oh yeah guys. We bombed a place so we could kill some people, but we accidentally killed some other people… again. Total mistake, we thought we learned the first 100 or so aid workers, but nothing could possibly have been done to avoid their mistake. Really though they were probably Palestinians in disguise, maybe” - Netanyahu probably

“Oops sorry! We thought they were just Palestinians”

Everybody in that general area is fair game.

Edit: It seems necessary to clarify that this is not my personal opinion, but evidently the opinion of the IDF and the Israeli government.

About five times as many, of course it’s much lower to people who consider Palestinians subhuman animals

They bombed them three times so the word “unintentional” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

If I understand correctly, they accidentally shot at three vehicles all marked with WCK?

Lol at least they didn’t deny being there like they did with Hind Rajab even though we have footage of their tanks in that area during rhat incident

Haaretz article

At some point, when the convoy was driving along the approved route, the war room of the unit responsible for security of the route ordered the drone operators to attack one of the cars with a missile.

Some of the passengers were seen leaving the car after it was hit and switching to one of the other two cars. They continued to drive and even notified the people responsible that they were attacked, but, seconds later, another missile hit their car.

The third car in the convoy approached, and the passengers began to transfer to it the wounded who had survived the second strike – in order to get them out of danger. But then a third missile struck them. All seven World Central Kitchen volunteers were killed in the strike.

So it’s basically like a week ago when the IDF bombed those four guys walking on the sand road and kept bombing the guys limping away. The IDF were notified about these World Food Kitchen envoys in advance and decided to blow them up midway because they started hallucinating Hamas warriors in the car.

hallucinating Hamas warriors in the car

Don’t make it that easy. Don’t lump this in with other stuff. They knew exactly what those great people were doing there and why. They’re intentionally starving Gaza, and they’ll murder the most giving and charitable westerners to accomplish their genocide.

The US has many legitimate reasons to support Israel. This should be the line where we put a stop to it.

Unintentional my ass. They were coordinating with them. They knew exactly what the convoy was and where it was.

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
