Erin Gore, the WCK chief executive, said: “This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organisations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable.”
The charity will pause its operations in the region and says it will make a decision about the future of its work, raising fears that a nascent maritime corridor from Cyprus to deliver desperately needed aid to Gaza in the face of repeated Israeli obstructions may collapse.
It’s crazy that we are unable to even go near the topic of “punishing israel for breaking international laws and human rights violations”. It’s just “let’s give them one more chance and if they can’t resist their bloodthirst maybe we should stop trading arms with them. Maybe”
It’s clear how much the western governments need israel. Or maybe it’s a reminder of America’s power
I agree. It’s mainly for diplomatic relations that we can’t immediately go from arming then to punishing them – although I am certainly in favor of the latter. With how things stand, a slower approach of giving them one chance to stop fucking up before cracking down hard is probably more realistic and would have more support.
