In reply to the discussion: No longer defending Israel [View all]madaboutharry
(40,284 posts)The purpose of the war is not to seek revenge on the people of Gaza or starve them to death. The Israelis have been working closely and successfully with WCK for many months. It makes no sense that they would intentionally seek to target WCK aid workers with whom they established a close working relationship. The highest level of command has issued numerous statements that this was a grave mistake, that it appears to have been a tragic misidentification, the military has taken full responsibility for the deaths, the government has profusely apologized for this tragedy, and they are conducting an investigation with full transparency to determine exactly how this monumental tragedy occurred.
But none of that matters to those who are committed to the narrative that Israel is evil, is comprised of nothing more than rogues and liars, and always conducts itself with malicious intent. Frankly, the Israelis are used to it and expect little else.
