In reply to the discussion: World Central Kitchen workers killed by IDF. [View all]

(8,655 posts)138. I block them all.
I refuse to have conversations with people who make assumptions and judgments without evidence first, second, third, ad infinitum.
Even if this topic is their only irrational one, it really discredits their thoughts on everything else and I have no interest in engaging with them.

Good point. So much horrific stuff attributed to them lately, it's hard to see how Israel ever regains legitimacy.

Good question. The current strategy seems to be bomb a building, kill a lot of innocent civilians

Typical false equivalency of trying to tar and feather any criticism of Israel as automatically pro Hamas/antisemitic.

When you immediately play the "you're pro-Hamas or antisemite" card, you forfeit all credibility.

Israel is partially to blame for the stranglehold Hamas has on Gaza.

Do you think that the IDF has brought horror to Gaza for the last six months? N/T

so calling out the people who actually shot those workers is playing the "blame game"??

I was getting the impression that you thought that Israel's use of the excuse wasn't proper.

This is terrible. As WCKitchen said, aid workers should never be targets. Aaand now a confirmation.

Did you just call World Central Kitchen's twitter account "Hamas' press office"???

They quoted the Hamas press office. They don't know what happened yet -- just that it's awful.

No, I did not. WCKitchen said there are reports -- and those reports are from the Hamas regime press office.

To those defending the IDF's "strategy" here, wouldn't it therefore be an appropriate response to Hamas' initial attack

That is the logic of the assertion that Israel isn't responsible for actions of its armed forces.
