World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés says Israel targeted staff in Gaza 'car by car'
BBC ^ | 4/3/24 | BBC

World Central Kitchen (WCK) founder José Andrés has accused Israeli forces in Gaza of targeting his aid workers "systematically, car by car". Monday's strike which killed seven members of his staff was not a mistake, he said, repeating that Israeli forces had been told of their movements. WCK workers from Australia, Canada, Poland, the UK and the US were killed as well as their Palestinian colleague. Israel says the strike was a "grave mistake" and has apologised.

Why didn’t we have aid workers in Berlin and Tokyo during WWII?🤣

Nothing wrong with targeting "car-by-car" if they thought it was a Hamas convoy. The rule is that Hamas commandeers caravans that come through the Egyptian checkpoint as soon as they enter. They then give the supplies to their soldiers and sell what's left to Palestinians after adding a 16% tax. Why wouldn't Israel assume a caravan is Hamas?

Jose should be tried as an accessory to murder, never should put “his” workers in the middle of a hot war.

Funny how no one mentions that the Israelis would never target clearly marked aid vehicles except for the fact that Hamas uses them and ambulances to move fighters and munitions around.

These totalitarian sympathizers enter an active war zone and die. Play stupid games receive equivalent prizes.

honesty is the best policy here

Israel indeed targeted the aid workers.

I’m sure Israel doesn’t want aid getting in. They want the land. But they are not the only players here. Others have voices as well and they DO want aid getting in.

“...accused Israeli forces in Gaza of targeting his aid workers “systematically, car by car”..”

If the IDF knew them to be a humanitarian convoy, that is a lie.

If the IDF believed the convoy had munitions for Hamas, then yes, was “targeted.”

I actually got to see the Aegis recording of the USS Vincennes shoot down of the Iranian commercial airliner. It was definitely squawking the transponder code for an Iranian F4. I wouldn’t put it past Hamas to have spoofed the Chefs as terrorists.

The WCK workers were put into that position in order to get them hurt or killed to add more outrage to this situation. IMHO

Yup, the World Central Kitchen owner is an expert on military operations. Does he/she/it have a studies degree? When the great purge occurs, please, oh please, have special deaths planned for leftists.

These people may be aiding HAMAS just like the UN does. What if they were running guns instead of food?

Gaza is a war zone. Those people shouldn’t have been there. In my opinion, their employers offered them as sacrifices to Hamas and Iran, and are using their deaths politically.

These “aid workers” were not significant players in aid distribution.

And they were very deliberately targeted.

So either the IDF got their intended guys or they had bad intel and targeted non Hamas operatives
