UNRWA, ANERA and WCK have all been forced to pause or halt their humanitarian operations in Gaza because Israel has deliberately targeted any means of lifesaving aid to a starved, maimed, and tortured population of over 2 million Palestinians, almost half of which are children.

This has been broadcasted by Israel so that it sets the precedent of what is deemed permissible in the face of "international law". I said it before, it does not get any more obviously genocidal than this.

WCK CEO Erin Gore described the strike on the convoy as a “targeted attack” by the Israel Defense Forces and “unforgivable.” The food aid nonprofit has sent more than 1,700 trucks of assistance into Gaza as well as sea deliveries from Cyprus.

It said it had coordinated its activities with Israeli authorities. The team was traveling in a “deconflicted zone” in vehicles that included two armored cars branded with the  WCK logo.

Okay, so we are supposed to believe that the IDF is so thoroughly incompetent, it keeps accidentally bombing civilians, hospitals, refugee camps, and now a clearly-identified food caravan that had carefully coordinated its mission with the IDF itself.

And its snipers are so terrible at their jobs, they keep killing children!

Where did all these incompetent soldiers come from, and why haven’t they all been replaced?

If I didn’t know any better, I’d have to believe that the IDF, at Netanyahu’s direction, is deliberately murdering innocent people in a genocidal terror campaign while America looks the other way because of reasons.

I've always felt uneasy about wanting to get people to pay attention to the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza by saying "if Israel isn't stopped, it's only a matter of time before it happens to you" because why not care even if this wasn't ever going to affect you personally

But seeing as how Israel had targeted a clearly marked vehicle of World Central Kitchen today, killing 4 of its staff operating in southern Gaza who are Australian, British and Polish - just goes to show these people again that Israel is setting precedent and making sure the world understands that it's not "violating international law", it is in fact changing the standard and setting the stage of what counts as a crime and what is permissible and can be done with complete impunity and no consequences.

As of April 2nd, WCK's Ramadan relief page is still up — "100% of your donation will go directly to our food program in Gaza." Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on the 12th, if you want to make a donation in support of WCK's program in Gaza before the end of Ramadan.

I’m just so fucking pissed off man if they can surgically airstrike international volunteer food workers three consecutive times to ensure their operation is wiped out completely what the fuck is left for anyone to say

#absolutely disgusting #targeting people going into one of the most dangerous locations on the planet (made dangerous by YOU) #who had the intention of simply helping out the humans in that place. delivering food. delivering aid. #there’s a new tenor of rage seeing the airstrike hole /through/ the logo of the relief org #. #i think what you can do right now. if you're not sure or if you're too furious or too enraged. is to continue to refuse to look away #give palestine space in your head and in your heart #know that this is happening. know that this is an attempted genocide with MASSIVE humanitarian violations. #speak to everyone that you can - when you can - about this. refuse to let this issue fade. #free palestine

Did I cut a trailer for Untitled Goose Game using Lizzo’s “Juice” simply because she says, “Blame it on a goose?" 

Of course I did.

Here’s my original tweet, by the way.

nothing more sobering than realizing you'd been assuming a cover of a song was the original...like oh phew if the wrong person found out about that i couldve been killed

#parents had a beegees greatest hits compilation cd for car trips #so it was a good two decades of thinking that 'islands in the stream' was a beegees original #(not dolly parton and kenny rogers) #and #in the band; we played an arrangement of the bangles' 'hazy shade of winter' #(originally by simon and garfunkel; which i also didn't know for a few years) #tbf i do prefer the cover versions of both #reblogs

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

Full time work should entitle someone to enough pay for rent, food, bills, and leisure activities. Full time work for a full life wage. You put in your 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? You should be able to afford the basic shit you need in life, no matter where you work.

#reblogs #'unskilled job' is shorthand for 'i need an excuse to think of a group of people as inferior to me -' #'- and therefore less deserving of comfortable living or my respect' #if anyone ever uses ''unskilled labour'' unironically; that is an instant red flag
