"I don't' like what you are doing, but I will not punish you" - paraphrase Trudeau

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.

I don't believe Israel was intentionally targeting World Central Kitchen. This whole incident is a massive PR disaster for them, especially given that the victims were citizens of powerful and influential countries doing one of the most selfless humanitarian jobs possible.

Having said that, this is the kind of mistake that only happens when a military's targeting rules are basically "commit war crimes". Like, maybe their target was white civilian vans being used as ambulances by the Palestinians, and they just blew up the wrong white civilian vans. The difference is that killing Palestinian doctors and paramedics doesn't generate the same international headlines.

Just this week I read a story about how Israel is using AI to identify targets to assassinate. At first they were just targeting senior Hamas leaders, but at this stage they have tens of thousands of targets including police and civil defense workers. Technically these are affiliated with Hamas, but only because Hamas is the official government of the Gaza strip.

How do they kill them? It's hard to target and kill them when they're out in the field, so the Israelis wait until they return home and then they bomb their houses, killing them and their families: "for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians"

What do they call the system that alerts them when the targets return home, and can now be targeted for a bombing? I shit you not, it's called "Where's Daddy?"
