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.

    This is no longer an Israeli problem. Netanyahu isn’t the problem anymore.

    It’s the world and our world leaders where we all know what’s wrong, we all disagree with it, we all despise it … but we all choose to just stand aside and do nothing.

    In the case of many first world nations, including Canada where I’m from, we choose to give Israel money and arms and military support to continue the genocide while our government continually makes weak hearted empty statements.

    Canada says it isn’t openly supporting militarily but everyone is using so many loopholes and back doors for Israel that money and support is still flowing towards funding this genocide.

    Israel isn’t the problem … all of us are because we’re abandoning world peace just so one nation can get away with whatever it wants, including mass indiscriminate killing and genocide.

      When you read about the Holocaust and the Nazis, you like to imagine you’d be the good guy. You’d fight the Nazis, you’d free the concentration camps. But apparently I wouldn’t. Apparently I would have just sat there paralyzed, incapable of doing anything about the genocide I see every day. Unable to think of any way to help. All I can do is retweet and protest and write a stupid blog post. I feel so stupid.

      Hmm. I guess Zionists really do have a disproportionate amount of influence on the government.

      Who’da thunk?
