KGM was the one who, after the Manchester bombings, tricked a Tory MP into condemning "Jeremy Corbyn" for saying that these attacks are something we brought upon ourselves by our ill-thought-out adventures overseas, and said Tory MP replied by saying that it shows that Labour are an unserious party that should never be allowed in government to have someone like that in their midst, only for KGM to say "I'm sorry, minister, but I should clarify - those are the words of your former mayor of London and current party political candidate for Uxbridge and Ruislip, Boris Johnson"

Brilliant on-screen meltdown followed.

The Downey JR one is interesting because he gives Guru Murthy a number of increasingly less subtle hints that he doesn't want to talk about it. I wonder if those are cues that a US interviewer would be more likely to pick up on, because at one point RDJ looks at someone off-camera in disbelief that he hasn't stopped.

I remember seeing Guru Murthy on newsround growing up, so it's weird seeing him as this super-toughattempted Paxman replacement.

quote:

The three men - a special forces hero, a former Royal Marine, and an Army veteran - died when their vehicles were blasted in a "triple tap" drone strike.

They were all working for the security company Solace Global, based in Poole, Dorset.

Special Boat Service (SBS) hero John Chapman, 57, who lived in Poole, and former Marine James Henderson, 33, were travelling in a clearly-marked car, operated by charity World Central Kitchen (WCK), when the convoy was struck with three missiles fired by an IDF drone.

Chapman, a married dad-of-two, had only been in Gaza a matter of weeks after previous stints working in the Middle East.

There was nothing accidental about any of this. They were tracked by drone throughout, and hit three times in three vehicles over a multiple km stretch.

I mean stupid question, I try not to assume malice where incompetence is more likely. Are they really so smart as to plan a tactical hit on an aid convoy, killing a load of allies, to then get the companies providing food aid to leave?

I guess they might be because it sure as hell looks like they got away with it.

Of course. It's a planned and calculated genocide. Israel don't want outside agencies slowing down or prevent the starvation genocide. The IOF also sent a very strong message to external spy agencies.

They knew exactly where they were because the agencies had liaised with the IDF and were following a route they were told to take by the IDF.
The cars were clearly marked with the charity's logo on the top.
Apparently when the first car was hit, the people in the second car brought the survivors to their car & also they called the IDF when the bombing occurred to say they had been hit.
Then the drone hit the second car, than lastly the third car.

Malice aforethought.

IDF first statement was that it was a 'misidentification' because they 'thought' there was a hamas person in the cars. Which there wasn't. Kill 7 people delivering aid for 1 suspect? Barak Ravid* said "this SHOWS that it was an accident" (or words to that effect). It doesn't "show" diddly.

Other excuses seen reported by shills: "Easy mistake to make in the dark" "How could they be expected to identify who was in the cars from 10000ft up" (isn't this the IDF that brags about their ability to precision target?). "Aid workers are brave but need to accept the dangers".

I buy that they were just security hired by the aid organisation. Israel has made it clear for ages that they despise any and all aid organisations operating within Palestinian territory because they're often the only groups helping Palestinians that they can't just shut out. Since 07/10 they've shifted over to open attempts to eradicate these groups, the chief example being UNRWA. I'd imagine there will be a lot more of these "accidents" as the genocide shifts into this more desperate final phase in Rafah.

I'm doubtful Israel would intentionally do this, they are too PR savvy for that. But they have shown they give no care or thought to what they are hitting, their attitude is likely if they get in the way it's their own fault.
In Iraq the Americans didn't even check before bombing our forces, despite us telling them where they were.

Yeah, Israel's learnt over the last months that they can commit literally any atrocity, throw out a smirking, piss-taking justification for it and the West will awkwardly look the other way and pretend to believe them.

I mean, if every time I punched someone in the face, the local paper published a front-page report saying how justified I was and the police supplied me with boxing gloves and sore knuckle cream to enhance my punching abilities, I'd be a lot more likely to keep going round punching people in the face, because the whole world would be making it clear that they supported and endorsed my face punching activities.

Sure, Israel blaming every gently caress up on Hamas is on point and believable. But that's not the same as spending resources to target aid workers. It's such a high risk low reward move.

I find it far more believable they just saw a car with armed people in and just bombed it without doing any checks what so ever, as this is exactly how many aid workers in our own conflicts have died by our hand and Americas.

Before 07/10, sure, but look at how sloppy most hasbara is these days. Any PR savvy the Israeli establishment cultivated before has gone right out the window.

I also don't think that Netanyahu is cackling like a Bond villain as he orders the IDF to destroy an aid convoy. The IDF is basically like an out-of-control teen these days: it realises what it can get away with, and it's increasingly testing boundaries with the tacit support of the Israeli government. It used to get a huge amount of international push-back whenever it attacked or even just operated near Palestinian hospitals; now hospitals in both Gaza and the West Bank are routinely bombed or raided and it barely even registers against the background horror of the genocide. I'm sure that the same is happening for aid organisations: when Israel begins its final push to kill or expel as many Palestinians as possible in Rafah, I'd bet that there will be a lot more accidents akin to that shooting of people scrambling for food aid or this bombing of an aid convoy.
