I read an article that I think was from the aid group.
Seriously, and we're supposed to swallow that *smile*?
Shameful!

A clearly marked vehicle.
The agency had been liaising with the IDF and the IDF knew where the aid convoy was, what vehicles they would be in and where they were going.
Yet the vehicles get hit, and they were direct hits, clearly those vehicles were targetted.
There really are very few options to explain this:
Deliberate.
Incompetence.
Don't care.
Choose one or even a couple of the above, but none are reasonable excuses.
Deliberate and don't care are self evident. Incompetent means the IDF should not be anywhere near a war zone.

I can’t find the exact article but I have read something in the last few weeks in Haaretz, which is the Israeli news site that the Israeli government hates. The article quoted an anonymous source in the IDF who basically said that some of the Israeli forces were being led by zealots who were just doing whatever they wanted.
Of course there is no way to verify that but when you see stuff like this happening it adds weight to it.
That there appear to be no consequences for those who do such things, only leads one to presume that there is permissions given, even if tacit ones, from higher up the chain.

An article by Tim Costello. Remember that he was the CEO of World Vision for many years, an organisation who have provided aid in Gaza and the West Bank for many years.
It is also personal for him.

Oh well what are you gonna do? What's tiny insignificant Albo gonna do? He knows which side his bread is buttered so he'll just STFU like the rest of them. These aid workers and tens of thousand innocent children have been murdered with the direct and indirect supply of arms and support Albo and his like have given them. Albos standing and position is more important than these lives. Where's the condemnation and sanctions on this murderous terrorist Israeli state? Wheres the NATO intervention and bombing campaign to stop genocide like they did in Yugoslavia? It's a farce just like our "leaders". There is no world order or international norms. The West and it's support for the Israeli terrorists have spat in the face of anyone who believed in humanity.

Damn, wonder where this old fart's heard those words before?
World keeps getting fuller n busier and supposedly smarter n better in pretty much all aspects, but somehow nothing ever seems to change.
Chris Hedges: The Death of Amr

I suppose the Israelis have to obliterate tents where people are sheltering because “hamas” are using the people inside as human shields …..
Deliberately targetted, it is the only conclusion you can come to with what we know, here's the opinion of some who know a bit about this:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04...trike-visual-analysis-photos-israel/103662942
They coordinated with the IDF.
They were in a zone controlled by the IDF.
They didn't randomly hit one vehicle with a stray shot.
The Israelis hit 3 aid vehicles, one after the other, with 3 precision munitions.
This was no accident.
We add these 7 aid workers, trying to get food to starving Palestinians, to the already killed 190 aid workers and the 32,000 Palestinians already killed.
When will Israel be held to account? They clearly believe they will not be held to account and everything points to Israel not being held to account for this and other killings they have perpetrated. Why would they stop? The US still send them weapons, including massive 2000lb bombs which flatten a whole block of apartments and have no precision. So, why would they stop?

For Albanese, one Australian life matters more than 32,000 dead Palestinians - Pearls and Irritations
Albanese demands “full accountability” from Israel for the killing of Zomi Frankcom yet remains silent on 32,000 other killings.

At the very least it does make it harder for the government to continue unstinting support for Israel, but, the salient point is that one of "our own" does get more attention.
We'll see if it makes any difference.
The arrogance and hubris shown by Netanyahu should also prompt a response, what a horrible human being he is.

There are big cracks appearing in the US support of Israel. Apart from anything else it is a political calculation for Biden as many younger Americans in particular are very concerned with it.
The thing with this is that it has been American policy for as long ago as they were bought by the Israel Lobby.
Trump would have been happy to take their cash just as Clinton, Bush and now Biden are.
Massive weakness in so many (all?) 'democracies'
There can be no excuses for this. None.
If it’s true that these aid workers travel plans were shared with the IDF ( and I have no reason to doubt it) whoever approved this action should be held responsible.
