Catastrophic consequences of the IDF strike on World Central Kitchen's humanitarian relief team

[Dimi Reider | dimireider.substack.com @reider]

The IDF's early explanation re the killing of the World Central Kitchen team is in - per "security sources" speaking to Haaretz. Before we get to the putative pretext for the attack, they also disclose a harrowing detail - the drone bombed the convoy THREE TIMES in succession..

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war, World Central Kitchen charged yesterday. Their airstrikes on the food convoy have resulted in aid ships turning around.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The IDF has the footage of the decision to launch 3 airstrikes on the team of Jose Andres. If they are serious about an “investigation” they could immediately release it.

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. I join Jose Andres in calling on Netanyahu to stop the indiscriminate killing. https://t.co/KlDc4UaOo4

The Florida 6 week abortion ban is extremism. It will hurt so many women, their families & the health care workers that care 4 them. Even though the threshold is too high(it shouldn’t take 60% to give back a fundamental right),the voters will get to decide https://t.co/D3cc8MyvPo

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The horrifying details emerging about the World Central Kitchen massacre: The convoy was struck 3 times in succession, with the drone chasing the wounded aid workers from vehicle to vehicle to make sure they were all killed. No legit pretext and precise coordination with the IDF.

NYT headline and lede doesn’t tell readers who may have killed the WCK team in Gaza.

[Will 🦥 Menaker @willmenaker]

I’d like to think that killing foreign aid workers from the US, UK, Poland who were feeding the starving would be a serious incident but unfortunately “Israel is allowed to kill anyone they want” is an important rule in the rules-based international order

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

Andres is the kind of guy who gets awards from CNN heroes specials, and invited to NGO galas with the Clintons and Obamas. If you execute a bunch of his relief workers, you've royally fucked up how that's going to translate to normie liberals.

Florida just kicked 460,000 people off Medicaid.

@PaulVallas How about the $1.5 billion in higher interest payments that you saddled CPS with? Any comment on that, Paul?

[Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳 @chefjoseandres]

Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.

While this doesn't come close to the comprehensive solutions we need to address #SafeStaffing, #WorkplaceViolence, and #MoralInjury, we are glad to see the federal government taking this first step to address #burnout for healthcare workers. #CodeRed

The Australian aid worker with Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen, reported to have been killed by an Israeli air strike, along with 5 of her colleagues, appeared on MSNBC last fall

May her memory and the selfless life she lived be a blessing
