RIP. Pour one out for our comrades just trying to help. Death toll has risen to 7 foreign aid workers.
Rest in power, chefs 
, and the same to the countless thousands of Palestinians murdered in the last 6 months who just wanted to live a normal life.
I’m so fucking gutted.
In all this i can barely believe isreal
- Attacked the marked vehicle
- Attacked a second marked vehicle which had survivors of the first vehicle
- Attacked a THIRD marked vehicle which had survivors of the second vehicle
Just what the fuck.
The former director of UNRWA was just on Al Jazeera tonight saying that this is Israel indicating to the world that they are 100% committed to starving the Palestinians to death and will go ahead with their premeditated genocide, the Palestineans and rest of the world be damned.
I can’t think of a better way to convey that then this mass murder.
Notable comment on that post:
At the risk of doxxing myself, the two names that are public so far are Zomi Frankcom and Damian Sobòl. I know those people. They were truly wonderful. They were smart, kind, selfless, and determined to give of themselves for people they had never met. They put in long, difficult hours for a lot less money than they could make in the private sector, and they were happy to do it because their cause is just. It’s a simple proposition — people need food. Giving food to people who don’t have it is the right thing to do, always. And for that they were murdered.
I cannot begin to describe the grief of their colleagues and their friends. Everyone I’ve spoken to is gutted by the senseless murder of people who wanted nothing more than to make the world a happier, healthier place. Everyone knows that working in dangerous parts of the world is risky. They took all the precautions anyone could have taken. They were in armored cars, they wore body armor, they were in a deconflicted zone, the cars were clearly and obviously marked as humanitarian, and they were in constant contact with the IDF to make sure they couldn’t be mistaken for combatants. And they were murdered, anyway.
I’m not entirely sure why I’m writing, other than to let our community know how wonderful these humanitarians are and how much good they brought to the world. It’s important to me that no one can call them reckless, call them extremists, or try to paint what happened as in any way their fault. Because it isn’t. They were good people doing a difficult job in the worst circumstances. They took every precaution one could reasonably take. And without the work they do, more people will suffer and die needless deaths. I lack the words to tell what a loss this is for the world, how much dimmer the planet is without their light. Rest in power, chefs.
