World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés said in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday that the seven World Central Kitchen workers who were killed by an Israeli strike while delivering aid Gaza earlier this week were targeted “systematically, car by car.”

“This was not just a bad luck situation where ‘oops’ we dropped the bomb in the wrong place,” Andrés said. “Even if we were not in coordination with the [Israel Defense Forces], no democratic country and no military can be targeting civilians and humanitarians.”

“The U.S. must do more to tell Prime Minister Netanyahu this war needs to end now,” Andrés told Reuters a day later.

    Of course they were targeted. The Binden administration needs end aid to Israel unless the he also wants to kill all Palestinians. Because this is straight up a genocide. And won’t end unless we quit aiding them or they kill them are strave them to death.

      At this point, I don’t think anything will stop them other than a military intervention or regime change. And I bet for any actual opposition, Mossad will be making threats and following through on them to discourage/punish it while their lobby arm will be throwing money at any domestic opposition to that opposition. Maybe even including within Israel itself.
