I think you're proving the opposite - like you said they have all the information so if they really wanted to kill all aid workers they could easily do that, so the fact that they haven't makes it pretty clear that isn't their goal.

You really think Israel coordinated with WCK for weeks now only to suddenly decide to kill a few aid workers intentionally? It makes zero sense.

And if you wanna go all conspiracy theory, why not just make it to look like Hamas killed the aid workers? It would be extremely easy for Israel to do so.



Well, they had assassinated yet "a few" (hundreds of) physicians, and nurses, and ambulance drivers in the area, so maybe are getting more bold about it.

> why not just make it to look like Hamas killed the aid workers?

Because they simply don't care, obviously. They even feel safe enough to film their own crimes.


So why even allow WCK to operate from the start? They could easily just deny them access.

Seems like negligence and not caring for collateral damage is much more straightforward reason compared to intentionally targeting them.


The WCK withdrew from Gaza after being killed by Israel.

Now Israel can say that they didn't stop aid, they just "accidentally" killed an entire envoy of aid, which unfortunately led to the WCK withdrawing from Gaza.


Ok, so why not just put the blame on Hamas? Seems like an easy win-win if that was indeed Israel's goal.


Probably so they have "evidence" of their "good behaviour" for the next ICJ hearing.


So again, why not make it look like it was Hamas who killed the aid workers? I mean if it was all planned ahead seems like an obvious thing to do given that it wouldn't taint the "good behaviour" while also stopping aid.


1) Israel doesn't have to - they can do essentially anything, and their US/GB/DE/FR backers will continue to support and enable their genocidal behaviour

2) The Israeli army comes across as extremely unprofessional - I honestly believe Israel doesn't have full control over them. It's a car-crash of "soldiers" who believe Palestinians are inhuman beasts, combined with commanders who don't give a shit and probably couldn't control their squad in any case


1) I don't agree since international pressure is escalating, but regardless it would be a win-win for Israel to blame it on Hamas so I just don't buy it.

2) So what is it? Does the idf targets aid worker intentionally as part of a idf/Israel policy or is it some rogue soldier/commander that decided to do it? Those are two very different claims.


And what consequences did Israel face after destroying almost all of Gaza and killing over 32000 humans, mostly women and children, and blocking aid and starving the rest of the population, and killing aid workers, journalists, and doctors?

Nothing. Literally zero consequences. Yet someone like you is not convinced.


How does that change anything I said? Still all evidence is pointing towards this being a targeting mistake.


1) Thanks largely to social media, you have a point. However, it's still abundantly clear that Israeli can act how it wants. At best, western politicians (many of whom are bought and paid for by Israel!) will make platitudes and try to distance themselves while the latest US-back Israeli attrocity/massacre "blows over"

2) could be both; Israeli commanders made clear that grunts can do what they want - "all restrictions are removed", and we now know that commanders designated "kill zones" where anyone was to be murdered. I believe it's both US-backed Israeli policy, and they haven't got full control of their "soldiers"
