    “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.

    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.

      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.

            They knew that about those other people as well. This is no different from all the other times israel has massacred civilians and aid workers. The only difference is optically because it’s so impossibly obvious that israel is intentionally targeting civilians this time that even israel can’t lie about it. Every possible form of plausible deniability has been destroyed.

            The US has many legitimate reasons to support Israel.

            Going to disagree with that one.

    Didn’t they also claim that all of their strikes are calculated and extremely accurate? So which is it now?

    Bullshit. This has the effect of reducing aid to Gaza. It’s is unintentional, it shows that Israel is incredibly incompetent in considering the consequences of their actions… Which I suppose does check out.

    How many “unintentional” killings is this now?

    After a certain point people stop “falling” out of windows.
