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.

Yeah, exactly my point. I don't think they set out to bomb World Central Kitchen people specifically. But, their targeting is so broad, and they're so willing to kill civilians that it doesn't take a very big mistake to accidentally kill WCK people instead of some other group of civilians in white vans.

At the very least they didn't set out to not bomb World Central Kitchen people specifically. Which effectively is the same thing.

I don't think it's effectively the same thing. One view is that they're supremely evil and extremely competent. The other view is that they're slightly less evil and much less competent.

Either way we're left with the same awful, evil, result.

Yup, and hopefully it will be enough that the world starts putting sanctions on Israel. First, obviously, stop giving them military aid. Then even ban them from buying weapons.
