Biden needs to step up and call out Israel.He'll do that by end of day.
He'll do that by end of day.
Oh wait no sorry I meant he'll sell them more bombs by end of day.
He'll do that by end of day.Why not both?

Please understand the World Central Kitchen runs directly counter to Israel's national interests by attempting to stop Palestinians from starving to death.
According to sources acquainted with the details of the incident, the Operation Room in charge of securing the route identified an armed person on the truck and suspected this was a terrorist. By the time preparations were made for the attack, the truck arrived at the warehouse, together with the three WKC vehicles carrying seven volunteers... minutes later, the three vehicles left the warehouse, without the truck on which an armed person was allegedly sighted. The cars traveled on a route already confirmed to WKC by the IDF. The IDF was also made aware of the timing of this particular convoy. At some point, while convoy was traveling on the authorised route, the Operations Room ordered the drone operator to strike one of the vehicles. Some passengers were seen leaving the stricken vehicle and moving to the other two. They had time to alert superiors they had been attacked, but seconds later were struck by a second missile. They began moving wounded to 3rd car, and that's when the 3rd missile hit. All seven volunteers were killed."
They've been intentionally killing civilians for like half a year now...they did that long before Oct 7...
Hopefully this will wake some liberals up as WCK is closely tied to a lot of popular liberal influencers/podcasters like Pod Save America. They should know that WCK of all groups cannot be credibly accused of being a Hamas front and that if Israel is deliberately attacking them....maybe people saying Israel is off the rails aren't just talking tankie nonsense.
This can all be stopped by telling the Israelis that unless they stop they never get another dime from the US.

All seven volunteers were killed.
Someone needs to step in and say enough is enough

Aid ships are turning back after the strike. This is mission accomplished for Israel. Multiple deliberate strikes across several kilometers to murder these aid workers as a terror threat to anyone else who would try to come in and relieve the manmade famine. You are witnessing a genocide.
Wolf Blitzer just said 186 UN relief workers have been killed in this Israel-Gaza war making it the most deadly war for UN aid workers.
Watch Biden sell them more bombs in direct response to thisWell of course, how do we expect them to continue murdering aid workers without more munitions?

Were not even selling them really given that theyre using money the US tax payer gives them. The last spending bill included almost 15 billion in aid for them on top of the almost 4 billion in aid they receive every year.
Luckily I believe the 14 billion in cash aid hasn't actually gone through congress. At this point, really hope it doesn't.The way its going I dont doubt the number is going to go up. If Ukraine aid ever gets passed its going to be piggybacking on it.
This is an issue where pressure on a Democrat Congress is going to give us our best results.
WTF kind of weapon do they use?
I'm staunchly blue-no-matter-who, but what pressure exists on Congress other than, "We're not going to vote for you?" because I don't see any other levers for normal people to pull.
We don't have the money of lobbyists to sabotage campaign finance. And it's not like they're going to strip each other of committee assignments. And too many of them are in too small districts to have an "uncommitted" primary like Biden got, to send a message.
I've kind of given up because it's that or the end of democracy completely... but I'd love to know how we flex on them and hold them accountable outside of threatening them with our votes.
This is not a stand-alone incident, Biden said. This conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed. This is a major reason why distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza has been so difficult because Israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians. Incidents like yesterdays simply should not happen. Israel has also not done enough to protect civilians. The United States has repeatedly urged Israel to deconflict their military operations against Hamas with humanitarian operations, in order to avoid civilian casualties.
