Thanks to an Israeli drone operator and his idiot commander, we may have reached a tipping point in Israel’s attempt to exterminate the Palestinians. Countries previously mum on the wanton killing of Palestinian civilians are now voicing outrage over a senseless, deliberate killing — e.g. Australia, the United Kingdom and even that soy boy from Canada, Trudeau.
According to various media reports, the convoy of three World Central Kitchen (WCK) workers was hit by an Israeli drone operator. Let’s think about that for a minute. A drone operator in Israel is not sitting at home alone in his mother’s basement. He (or she) is at a base, in a room, and sitting with other drone operators. There are senior officers walking around that room. Not just one, but several.
When the drone feed identifies a target the images are displayed on large TV monitors mounted at the front of the room. The decision to follow and attack this convoy was ordered by officers. This was not just the decision of one rogue drone operator. That operator had to request permission to “engage” the target. There was a chain of command in place giving orders to follow and FIRE!! I anticipate that Israel’s Defense Minister will try to hang this on the drone operator and exonerate those who were giving him or her orders. I’ll be overjoyed to be proven wrong on this point, but based on history of such incidents in Israel and other militaries around the world the First Law of Plumbing kicks in — i.e., All Shit Runs Downhill aka ASRD!
As I and many others have pointed out, the faux mea culpa of Israel rings quite hollow because this kind of criminal behavior has been a Standard Operating Procedure of Israel since the start of hostilities on October 7. The following video is quite good. Looks like some key Brits are now pissed off enough that they will pressure the Rishi Sunak’s Government to cut off aid to Israel.
Let me make a comment about José Andrés. Karma is a bitch. Up to this point he has been a cheerleader for Joe Biden and has downplayed the murder of Palestinians. He is accustomed to special treatment by virtue of his strident anti-Trumpism and his celebrity status. Well, now that the Israelis have done it to him, he’s singing a different tune. It is a goddamn shame that seven of his workers had to die in order to wake up his conscience and call for an end to slaughter of the Palestinians. Too bad he was not saying this five months ago.
Israel’s deliberate targeting of aid workers, journalists, and doctors is well documented.
As of April 3, 2024, CPJ’s [Committee to Protect Journalists] preliminary investigations showed at least 95 journalists and media workers were among the more than 33,800 killed since the war began on October 7
Christina Wille, the director of the humanitarian research organization Insecurity Insight, tells TIME that her organization has identified the location and date of death for at least 176 healthcare workers who have been killed in Gaza, but adds that the true figure is thought to exceed 450.
By way of comparison, if you are a journalist, aid worker or healthcare provider you are safer in Ukraine than in Gaza and the West Bank. In Gaza, Israel is killing almost 20 journalists a month. In Ukraine it is almost two per year.
As of 16 May 2023, at least 17 civilian journalists and media workers have been killed in the line of duty since the Russo-Ukrainian War began in 2014. Six have been Russian, four Ukrainian, one Italian, one American, one Lithuanian, one Irish and two French.
I do not think Netanyahu can spin his way out of this. It was not a mistake. These workers were deliberately targeted, hunted down and murdered. And this was done by an Israeli military unit under the direct control of senior officers. The IDF may help push Bibi out the door by hanging this on him in order to save their own asses. This is going to be an interesting week of political jockeying in Israel as the game of pin the blame on the donkey ramps up.
In a similar vein, Colonel Douglas McGregor opines about the situation, particularly in relation to Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus along with their murderous attack on the WCK aid workers convoy. He and the Judge also discuss the situation in Ukraine.
I very much appreciated the following comment by Colonel McGregor given our own ongoing battle against Bute Energy and the Welsh Government:
Europe primarily are unwilling to admit the truth because they know if they admit the truth they'll be held accountable at The Ballot Box and they will lose. I think they're going to lose anyway but when the truth comes out they've had it because they've also committed suicide economically as you know, by rejecting Russian cheap energy and turning to us for expensive energy and to other means. You know believing that the future consists of windmills and solar panels.
There's no future for windmills and solar panels. That's a lot of nonsense. Civilisation needs a lot of cheap effective energy. You're only going to get that from coal, oil, gas and nuclear power but they're going to persist in this fantasy as long as they can. They have nowhere else to go.

Novara Media published this analysis last night: “This Defence of Israel By The US Is Wild”
There is more information about the targeted attack on the WCK aid workers in this post. I especially recommend listening to Max and Aaron’s discussion from last night which is included.
I hated Trudeau as much as anyone for his support of the jab campaign and his disdain for most Canadians. But credit where credit is due, he’s been to the fore on criticism of Israel’s genocidal acts and a few other topics as well. I’d still like him to pay dearly for the genocide campaign that he ran on behalf of TCTB (the cunts that be) but he’s not 100% bad post jabs.
AI is getting the blame btw.
