Well you can prove anything with facts.


If you're a liberal, the first order of business is to not know anything about how any of this, or indeed anything, actually works. The second is to believe what your leaders say. So it just was unintentional because they said so. They "did" an "airstrike" ok? That's a *thing* you *do*. Not a handy descriptor of a series of actions that must be deliberately taken in a specific order with a specific intent to cause a desired outcome. And the airstrike killed some people they say they didn't want to kill ok? So that basically proves it was unintentional. But airstrikes kill people, that's how they work. And this time it just happened to be the wrong people. In a big complicated warzone. So really it's just a small mistake in a very chaotic situation, very understandable.

I understand what you’re saying, but people understand process, right?

If this was a mistake, doesn’t it seem strange that it happened at the point of ordinance not only leaving the aircraft, but impacting the correct target, detonating, good effect on target? As opposed to any of the previous, meticulously planned, and successfully executed, steps where mistakes might have happened instead? What I mean is, in how many processes that were fundamentally done by mistake, are every one of the preceding steps done correctly? (Whose success belies that this was a mistake at all, remember.)

I feel like I have planning brain so maybe I’m not relating this well, but the planning cycle is so much loving work, that I struggle to see how people can imagine the cloud cover for that day was worked out correctly while the OIC overlooks “oops this is the wrong target” “oops this target violates the LOAC, which I had to consult at four times at various steps throughout planning, the ordnance officer had to consult when he placed the blast templates on the map, and which were reviewed in detail when the plan was sent to a JAG at Wing? Otherwise the plane doesn’t take off, but I forgot. Sowwy 🥺”

This was a mistake, but it came after clearing the hurdles that scratch missions? If you look at data for aborts, or scratched missions, usually if a mistake happens, the aircraft doesn’t even take off, let alone release weapons.

Take the meteorological section: here there was no mistake getting the weather report for the day. There was no mistake in the cloud cover briefing where the target point was obscured by clouds, fog, dust or smoke. Let’s assume that an sortie that takes off, completes the flight to the weapons release point, and can observe and fire on the target is one where every part of the meteorological section’s work was correct. What were they preparing the weather reports for if not to strike this target? Do you follow? They blow the weather, the aircraft never takes off, the aid workers live. They gently caress up their visibility information, the aid workers are never fired on, they live. So we can see that one of the more difficult elements of strike planning succeeded, but the whole mission was an error? The simple decision to fire or not fire on an identified target? Does that follow?

The point of failure is somehow always at the “consequences” step (not even BDA, good effect on target). So all of the more difficult, more up to chance, parts went off without a hitch. The aircraft didn’t fly into terrain due to poor flight planning, ATC, pilot error, bird strike. Those mistakes require far less to go right, in sequence, than “released weapons on designated target but ??? good effect on target”.

Idk it’s a flow chart thing, and what I’m saying is it’s suspicious if you say someone successfully planned and executed everything up to the point where they’re claiming “pobody’s nerfect” and “we all get imposter syndrome at work sometimes”.

Chef Jose Andres finally came out with a statement, it's stronger than I expected out of him

===========

‎World Cuisine: Israel must stop its "indiscriminate crimes"‎
‎The founder of the World Central Kitchen Organization, Spanish chef José Andrés, called on the international community to "stop Israel's indiscriminate crimes."‎

‎Andres said they were mourning the deaths of seven World Kitchen employees.‎

‎He stressed that the Israeli government must stop restricting humanitarian aid, killing civilians and aid workers, and using food as a weapon, and "no more innocent lives should be lost."‎

even the absolute most generous possible interpretation of the triple tapping the food ngo is that it's a breakdown in discipline. there's no possible version of this that was a mistake

Israel intentionally murdered a bunch of foreign aid workers because they are getting in the way of their genocidal crusade. This is a warning to other aid workers that they are not safe, Israel will openly murder them if they don't leave, and no one is going to do anything to stop them.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
You'll be able to tell if this was a colossal gently caress up or the deliberate murder of aid workers entirely by if it results in more or less food coming into Gaza. Sure seems like Israel got exactly what it wanted and will suffer about as much consequences as they did for the other 200 aid workers they killed.

Even that runs into problems because they were disciplined enough to file flight plans so they had a box of airspace given over to them, and were disciplined enough to get cleared for all the ramps, taxiways and runways during a period of pretty intense air activity, but not enough to…?

When a rifleman shoots someone, that’s a breakdown of discipline, but there are like 50 people, minimum, involved in getting a single aircraft in the air, and all of the boring tedious parts of their jobs require discipline too. Those all went right, it’s just this one bit that went wrong?

I realize this is because of the military tradition of scapegoating people who were too stupid or too much of a team player to produce written orders, but this isn’t like a few maintainers sneaking a cooler of beer into the hanger for somebody’s birthday.

Israel risks being left without any partners to provide and deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza after last night’s IDF strikes on a convoy belonging to the World Central Kitchen aid group in central Gaza, a US official tells The Times of Israel.

“People aren’t exactly lining up to do this work, and they just took out one of the few groups that has volunteered,” the US official says, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“They don’t want UNRWA involved? Fine. But they have to be… sure that the rest of the humanitarian workers are protected.”

“If [WCK] doesn’t come back, and other groups follow suit, the onus is going to fall on Israel to provide aid to the Palestinians,” the US official continues, citing international law.

“To not have proper de-confliction mechanisms put in place six months into the war is inexcusable,” the official says.

“The IDF is talking about improving communications between the Southern Command and COGAT. How is this mechanism only being put in place now?” the US official angrily asks, warning that the strike could have implications for continued fighting in Gaza as well as the hostage negotiations.

did the nazis also double down on atrocities when it was becoming clear they would not win?

Yes. The initial plan was to deport Jews into captured Soviet areas and eventually Siberia and work them to death as slave labor, building roads and other infrastructure. This plan required Germany to actually conquer the Soviet Union, and when their invasion started to stall, an accelerated extermination plan was put together and presented at the Wannsee Conference.

to believe otherwise, to accept otherwise, would mean to indict the system and the project and these are people who agree with and buy into the system and project. This is a nonstarter. Previously, the system in place allowed for the relatively unremarked upon gradual genocide of the palestinians. This was entirely fine with the liberal west. They had absolutely no problem with it and in fact were enormous supporters. Now, people are remarking on the genocide of the palestinians more openly and using specific operations/actions as examples and evidence to undermine Israeli statements, which places liberal supporters in an uncomfortable position. They want the genocide to continue but don't want to hear about it or be asked a about it. Naturally, this cannot be said openly nor can a supporter condemn Israeli as the result of a single action or series of actions because that condemnation would apply to the past, current, and future of the entire project.

The system is just and good. Its actions are just and good. It is regrettable and unfortunate that the world does not permit the operation of such a just and good system without accident or incident.

Well it goes back to, a rifleman can be undisciplined with murder because it doesn’t require the participation of anyone else to execute, and really he’s “misusing” about ten cents of government property when he pulls the trigger.

If you think discipline breaks down to the point where nobody exercises control over, or is particularly interested in, what you do with hundreds of thousands of dollars of government property, a missile, that doesn’t really track.

This new line from the Americans about a communications breakdown between the Southern Command and COGAT is a lot better nonsense. Most peoples first reaction, even some in C-SPAM, is this had to be a accident, much easier to feed them that slop.

People are only acting like the motivations and actions of Israel are difficult and complicated to understand because they are actually really simple and easy; to genocide the Palestinians and drive them from gaza; but recognizing that obvious simple fact is morally very difficult.
