One telling aspect of the targeted drone strike on World Central Kitchen is how, as Israel approaches its 200th kill of a humanitarian worker, neither Netanyahu nor the IDF even pretends there will be consequences for the soldiers or changes in policy.

Because it is the policy.

@maxkennerly Israel doesn't want aid to go to Gaza. They want to starve them to death. It's Belsen or Dachau all over again.

They want to frighten off aid workers, journalists, medical staff, and all witnesses to their crimes against humanity.

This is what war crimes look like…

You'd think that the result of this, ie. all humanitarian aid groups suspending their efforts in Gaza, was the ultimate aim of this deliberate and targeted attack on #WCK.

Israel appears to want Palestinians in Gaza to starve faster.

@maxkennerly Holy shit that's bad. Killing people trying to help get food in is absolutely evil behavior.

@maxkennerly Whether there will be changes in policy is an open question, but there were in fact "consequences for the soldiers," quite swift ones in fact:

To be sure, it's not nearly enough, but it's certainly better than nothing.

@jik @maxkennerly they can get their ranks back, and will if certain political outcomes happen, the dead can’t get their lives back. This was just that they killed white aid workers. Nobody’s faced consequences for all the aid workers, journalists, children etc. they killed.
