7 World Central Kitchen workers murdered in air strike as they delivered food to starving Palestinians – but while Australia has summoned ambassador over killing of its citizen, UK has not
The UK government has not summoned the Israeli ambassador to account for the murder of seven food charity workers, including British citizens.
The group also included Palestinians, an Australian, a US-Canadian and a Polish citizen, as well as British. The convoy of three vehicles was bombed despite World Central Kitchen (WCK) coordinating its departure with Israeli forces, according to the Charity’s spokesperson.
All three trucks, which were spaced at least 500m from each other, were hit.
Israel has admitted carrying out the attack, which it claims was an accident. WCK has now suspended its operations, leaving Palestinians even deeper in famine after Israel blocked all deliveries by UNRWA, the UN’s relief agency for Palestinians.
According to the UN and World Health Organization, approaching two million Palestinians in Gaza are in, or at risk of, starvation because of Israel’s blockade.
The Australian Prime Minister has ordered the Israeli ambassador to attend an urgent meeting to account for Israel’s murder of the charity workers. However, the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) press office told Skwawkbox, in response to an enquiry whether the UK had done the same, that the FCDO had nothing to add to David Cameron’s tweet. Number 10 said the matter was being dealt with by the FCDO).
The UK government has been exposed covering up the legal advice of its own lawyers that Israel is committing war crimes in it’s mass slaughter of over 40,000 Gaza civilians, it’s wounding of 80,000 more and its imposed famine.

So the ibf have been given “carte blanche”, then…“Accident” MY arse AND everyone else’s.
Also, it appears the French are gonna prosecute anyone who’s gone out to israel/palestine to commit Israeli+sanctioned atrocities with the ibf. Have the UK followed suit?
Have they shite. All’s I can say is anyone gone over there (and especially those
who’ve bragged about it on farcebook) would be strongly advised to watch their backs if they decide to return to blighty.
There’s a lot of people won’t be best pleased with them…
On RT Scott Ritter said “20 years from now, there will be no Israel “. Speed the day. With the Independent running a front page calling for an end to Israel’s war in Gaza, it seems those massive demos starting last Autumn, one of them the 2nd largest demo in UK history, are starting to have an effect & hopefully this will be an election loser for the Tories. With Francesca Albanese calling the Gaza campaign “sadistic “, the reputation of Israel has been permanently damaged. Not before time.
There’s a lot of tin soldiers on the Web.
Imagine what the response of the British Government would be if they’d gone to fight on the side of the Palestinians and against the IDF murderers.
Indeed
That begum one got fooked off – and rightly so. Now I’m all for equality, therefore as I see it, nobody – especially those with the apparent “right” to reside in another state – should be allowed back into the UK if they go to take up arms for that,or any other state, regardless of ‘alliance’ status.
On which note…….

……on the very real historical facts about the links between Nazi’s and Zionists:
“Let me take you back 84 years when Yitzak Shamir and Menachem Begin — two ardent Zionists who later served as Israel’s Prime Minister — were full-blown terrorists. Did you know that Shamir advocated collaborating with the Nazis?
Shamir joined the Irgun Zvai Leumi, a Zionist paramilitary group that opposed British control of Palestine.[8] During World War II the Irgun split over the question of whether to support the Axis Powers against the British Empire. Avraham Stern and Shamir sought an alliance with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany and formed the more militant breakaway militia group Lehi.
Lehi was unable to persuade the Axis powers to lend it support and became widely known as the Stern Gang.[9] Yitzhak Shamir was imprisoned by British authorities in 1941.[10][11][12] A few months after Stern was killed by the British in 1942, Shamir and Eliyahu Giladi hid under a stack of mattresses in a warehouse of the detention camp at Mazra’a, and at night escaped through the barbed wire fences of the camp.[13][14] Shamir became the leader of the Stern Gang,[11]
In other words, Zionists like Shamir and Begin were quite willing to attack the British who controlled the area we now know as Israel and Palestine and Shamir even favored working with Nazi Germany. Just one more example of the saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” No different than Hamas in terms of their willingness to make a deal with the devil in order to achieve their ultimate objective — a free, independent nation.
The attack in Damascus was not the only criminal act by Israel in the last couple of days — the Israelis bombed a car carrying UN workers involved with distributing food to the Palestinians. The victims, UN aid workers, killed during this attack were citizens of Australia, Poland, Ireland and England. Let’s see if those governments give a damn.”
—————————————————–
Whichever way any lickspittle tries to frame or redefine it when you apply objective based criteria there is little, if anything to distinguish the ideology, philosophy and practice of fascism and that of Zionism.
An insufficient number of the criminal psychopaths of nazi Germany escaped justice. And this includes those who openly supported, aided, abetted, excused, financed and facilitated their criminal acts and war crimes in their positions of influence in politics, media, academia and other relevant spheres.
The present day list of those equally culpable and in need of being subject to a similar but this time more thorough and systematic removal of the social and human cancer they willingly represent include not only anyone and everyone of influence in the Zionist Apartheid State of Israel but also the entirety of their support networks across the Collective West.
A list that needs to include every single politician of whatever nominal Political Party who is a “Friend of Israel” – a euphemism for “Friend of Fascism”; and every single so called print and broadcast “journalist” and academic acting as an apologist and propagandist for this vile Zionist philosophy and its practices who are all culpable of aiding, abetting and excusing the indiscriminate and deliberate murder of anyone who disagrees with them – from aid workers, UN personnel. to women, children, doctors and those of the ‘wrong’ ethnic persuasion.
Every single one of them should swing at a minimum.
That should read “An insufficient number of the criminal psychopaths of nazi Germany received the justice coming to them.”
Begum did not take up arms for anyone, she became a HOUSEWIFE.
Martin Odoni:
Hmmm. Seems reasonable to interpret this as a case of “Dyslexia Lures”.
However, just in case lets cover the ‘something else’ base as well:
Point out to me – ie provide the substantive evidence – anywhere in that posting timed at 09:39 today 03/04/24 that anyone by the name of “Begum” is named and I will willingly concede the point.
In the real world the historical record is irrefutable that Menachem Begin most definitely took up arms as a Zionist Terrorist and was part of a wider grouping of such terrorist organisations.
Terrorists responsible not only for indiscriminately murdering en masse native Palestinian Arabs to steal THEIR land and property but also atrocities against British Service men and women. Including the King David Hotel bombing and the kidnap and murder by hanging of British Army Sergeants.
By any civilised standards those responsible,should have been hung rather than accepted as “leaders” of a fake exclusivist state. Their enablers, supporters and apologists should at the very minimum have been kept out the Country rather than allowed the kind of criminal influence and immunity they have enjoyed since and continue to kick the arse out of to this day.
I see Sir Genocide has now commented since its british people dead. No dount white people. But nothing for the tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths.
Quite right. We don’t even have the real numbers of the dead. Eole trying to clear the rubble to find the bodies are murdered. I don’t know the equivalence of the dead. 1 Ex-SaS humanitarian equals ? How many Palestinians. People should dig into WkD. Every death has it’s mourners and I am not cheering on any death but how did they and not the UN get permission to enter Gaza. IDF young officers are permitted to act as they see fit. A young major cold have easily acted on his own whim unaware of any high level agreements. It’s easy to befriend the starving. Youngsters will tell their food donors lots of interesting stuff. Kids are kids everywhere although in Gaza they’ve got targets on their backs. Just thinking aloud..
The news coverage is bizarre.
The lives of three British aid workers obviously are more important than 30,000 Palestinians.
No, but these aid workers are the direct responsibility of the UK Government. How the PM and his administration respond is important.
A UK Government acting “responsibly”?
Now there’s a novelty.
Aren’t they responsible to a celebrity Spanish chef. I’m still looking for his responses.
Time to send in UN Peacekeepers
If they effectively don’t put a foot into Israel then what could they do to stop them
The Fascist Zionists would probably bomb the UN building in New York such is the level of immunity enjoyed.
Indeed, in such an event it would be no surprise to see the entire political and media class across the Collective West acting in lockstep to applaud, support and excuse it.
Bloody good post. We know which countries wouldn’t send troops to act as peace keepers. They’d sell the UN arms though.
FWIW, the UK Government did summon the Israeli Ambassador to the Development & Africa Ministry, but that really isn’t good enough. At the very least, the Foreign Secretary should be demanding to see Hotovely, and really the Prime Minister should be there as well.
