World Central Kitchen is demanding an independent investigation on the strikes.

Jonathan Duguay, a close friend of Flickinger who was working in Cyprus for World Central Kitchen at the time of the attack, told The Canadian Press in an interview that Flickinger wasn’t afraid because the aid deliveries were co-ordinated with Israel’s assistance. Article content

“We had an agreement with the IDF,” said Duguay. “There was a special route. They knew where we were.”

Flickinger joined World Central Kitchen last fall to help recover from PTSD developed during his tour in Afghanistan. He and his partner, Sandy Leclerc, had recently moved to Costa Rica with their son, who is 18 months old.

It's right in line with Israeli strategy.

You can't starve out the people who live there if relief organizations are succeeding in feeding the victims.

This resulted in World Central Kitchen to turn their ships around and stop feeding the starving people. Just as intended.

This is the reality of what's going on, the mainstream outlets aren't quite able to bring themselves to say it out loud. Any other nation but Israel and the sanctions would be ramping up, but here we are, still wondering if this is the atrocity that means we should stop shipping weapons to them.

They've murdered over 200 journalists for similar reasons.

It's like we are living through the holocaust but with real time updates.

It's so horrific that they continue to get away with it. Their goal is annihilation.

This is why aid needs to be delivered by military forces under the direction of aid agencies. Nobody really cares if a few civilians get killed, but when soldiers get killed, shit happens.
