The Security Council held an emergency meeting on the threat of famine and attacks on humanitarian workers in Gaza (French)

The supporters of the ongoing war of extermination in the Gaza Strip were waiting for this particular massacre. To finally show their annoyance. They did it this time; Because the occupation army tracked down two Western aid workers, and they were moving on the ground in full coordination with it, so they decided, somewhere in the Israeli leadership, to launch successive air strikes that penetrated the four-wheel drive vehicles carrying them, until the serial bombing operations finished off the “Global Central Kitchen” team, consisting of seven. Aid workers and their Palestinian driver.

Only the Israeli army, which dares in today's world to commit an outright massacre against a Western relief team, works in full coordination with it. The occupation officials did not shake their bodies from this atrocity. The attacks pursued the team and were targeted with clear precision. However, they claim that “they were not intentional,” and there is no need for any alarm. “This happens in war,” as Benjamin Netanyahu said coldly, in a video clip in which he addressed them. Allied countries bombed their citizens.

What Netanyahu meant roughly was that his army officers took turns bombing cars bearing prominent “International Cuisine” badges; Because they thought they were “locals” who could be killed without hesitation, as is the custom of defunct colonial regimes with oppressed peoples, even though international teams are the only ones moving in distinctive white four-wheel drive vehicles on Gaza’s roads exposed to raids.

A resounding slap to the allies of genocide

What is certain from the evidence of the witnessed incident is that an Israeli decision was undoubtedly issued to annihilate the “Global Central Kitchen” team, but the question relates to the level that took the decision, and the significance of committing a massacre against an organization whose role emerged in conjunction with the sea corridor arrangements announced by Western countries within a mechanism that went beyond the work of the UN agencies that were demonized; Especially UNRWA.

This murderer established an argument against the allies of the war of genocide in ways they did not expect. The incident revealed the Israeli tendency to enjoy causing horrific massacres in the field without deterrence. The tragedy of the “Global Kitchen” team provided the masses of the allied countries with practical proof of the falsity of the narrative adopted in their capitals, which are now no longer able to conceal obvious facts. Among them is that this army facilitates mass killing without hesitation.

When the matter reaches the point of exterminating even Western aid workers working in close coordination with the occupying army, this will be only a drop in the ocean of genocidal atrocities that did not arouse the alarm or anger of Western capitals.

The equation seems truly shocking in numerical terms. For every victim of the “Global Kitchen” team, the occupation army killed at least five thousand Palestinian civilians during the six months preceding the crime, most of whom were children and women, and inflicted injuries, disabilities, and deformities many times over.

The “Global Kitchen Massacre” remains a logical consequence of the international permitting of the high level of brutality in the behavior of the war leadership and its army. The execution of this team is inseparable from an ongoing killing party that has, until then, annihilated hundreds of employees of international humanitarian agencies and relief organizations working in the field, without serious objections from them. Western allies.

“Global Annihilation Kitchen” and its services

The truth of the matter is that the Gaza atrocities that increased and magnified were pre-emptively justified by an alliance supporting the genocide, which provided its perpetrators with everything they needed. Military support with weapons and ammunition has not ceased, political cover is sufficient for additional months of killing, and voting behavior in international bodies has not yet interfered in a significant way. Serious to stop the wheel of genocide.

The army of genocide would not have committed the atrocities in Gaza, which amounted to an astonishing toll by the standards of the wars of the century, had it not been for the political, military and moral support provided by the forces of Western influence over it. Moreover, they ensured the continuation of its chronic immunity from accountability and responsibility, even after half a year had passed since the launch of a genocidal campaign that pushed all A day with atrocities visible to the whole world.

The “Global Extermination Kitchen” provided the necessary support for the relentless atrocity program. The positions of the Western allies rewarded every atrocity that unfolded from the Gaza field with ignorance, apathy, or inaction, and the matter reached the point of implicitly blaming the Palestinian victim, so that the Western chorus did not hesitate at times to adopt the narratives of the Israeli war council. And the promotion of fabricated allegations made by the occupation army’s spokesmen, despite cries and warnings issued by officials in a small number of European countries, such as: Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Malta, and Norway.

It was clear from the beginning that the Western leaders supporting this war realized that the intentions of the political and military occupation leadership go beyond the previous “typical” rounds of aggression against the Gaza Strip, and that a decision to literally dismantle the Strip was issued from the highest levels with the allied capitals knowing about it, or perhaps in partnership with them. And that this includes the largest campaign of killing and intimidation imaginable, the displacement of the population internally or even externally if possible, the infliction of comprehensive destruction on almost the entire civil urban structure, as has actually happened, and searing the awareness of the Palestinian people with a torrent of shocking atrocities so that they will stop trying to liberate themselves from... Occupation.

This program would not have been able to take effect without the services of the “Global Extermination Kitchen.” Inflicting so many war crimes on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip required Western support in various forms, including the generous supply of tens of thousands of tons of shells for mass killing and widespread destruction. Accompanied by an overwhelming propaganda trench; To justify everything that could be done. In the beginning, it was the narrative that provided the pre-emptive cover for this genocide to continue until the end.

An examination of the narratives adopted on both sides of the Atlantic since October 7, 2023, would lead to the diagnosis of ideal pre-emptive pretexts for campaigns of genocide, ethnic cleansing, mass destruction, wars of starvation, and war crimes, and the occupation army has committed all of this excessively in the Gaza Strip. Benefiting from that justification from the capitals of Western influence.

These Western leaders acted as if they were in a “brainwashing” laboratory, using the method of “repetition and consolidation” with stereotypical records that they never tired of repeating, such as: “Israel has the right, every right, to defend itself, and it is even its duty to do so!”

It is a verbal privilege enshrined in this elaborate formula of an occupying power that relentlessly violates international law. Moreover, everything that this army can do in the field is justifiable, so it cannot be blamed if it causes any civilian casualties. The Palestinian side bears responsibility for everything that harms it, considering that these people have been taken as “human shields,” and that the residents of the Gaza Strip are “hostages.” When the people’s resistance “brought devastation to Gaza”!

Good; What if the army, in its brutal campaign, bombed hospitals, schools, and places of worship, and this really happened in the most horrific ways? The choir formulated pre-emptive justifications, by holding the Palestinian side exclusively responsible for all these grave violations committed by the occupation army, such as the pretext of “human shields” and the allegations that the resistance fighters “fortify” these facilities and cause destruction.

What if the occupying army cut off basic life resources for the people? The justification for this approach remained available despite lukewarm criticism expressed by Western officials, without clear consequences, as “it must be ensured that aid does not reach” the resistance, as was sometimes said, or “humanitarian aid must be increased” while ignoring the fact that it was carefully accumulated on the borders of the closed Strip, or “The Israeli side promised, after consultation, to facilitate the entry of aid.”

No Western sanctions have been imposed so far on the genocidal campaign, which is mainly denied by the countries of the North-West, while the “global annihilation kitchen” that supports the occupation and its army did not hesitate to impose hasty sanctions on the United Nations and the UNRWA relief agency under the pretext of undocumented accusations promoted by the War Council. Israeli.

These Western leaders adhered to familiar statements that were sufficient to justify the most horrific atrocities of the era, even after South Africa dragged their Israeli ally to The Hague. As soon as the International Court of Justice issued a preliminary decision calling for measures to prevent genocide in Gaza, the Western allies imposed their sanctions on the United Nations, represented by UNRWA, and on the Palestinian people whom this humanitarian agency serves.

During the first six months, there was no fundamental change in the Western alignment supporting genocide, despite increased verbal criticism to show a disavowal of responsibility for supporting atrocities. What is clear is that the allies had not used their influence until then to stop the hospital massacres, the scenes of atrocities, the horrific images of slaughter, and the relentless crushing of children and mothers around the clock, and nothing changed even after the “flour massacre” in Gaza, when the occupation army committed a graphic massacre against groups of Palestinian civilians. Those who were waiting to receive relief flour to feed their children, the army continued its massacres at aid distribution points, and Western statements of grief over incidents whose perpetrator was not identified were evaporated.

The poison cook tastes it!

One of the ironies of the scene is that the Western countries whose citizens were killed by the occupation army as part of the “Global Kitchen” team appeared within the scene of the extermination alliance, and did not realize that it provided an ideal justification narrative for their heinous killing. The extreme embarrassment was evident in the moment of truth, when the invading army slapped its allies and tried with them a logic they had reserved for the Palestinians.

Some concerned Western officials were reluctant to express a clear position after the shocking news coming from Gaza. The shock here was not deserved by the atrocities of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex on the morning of that day, when bodies piled up around the hospital. But only in killing Western citizens.

Some Western comments initially appeared as if the “International Kitchen” massacre was related to a horrific traffic accident that required an “investigation” or was awaiting “clarification” or “compensation,” according to Polish statements. Even Warsaw, where the Israeli army killed one of its citizens on the relief team, avoided commenting on the heinous crime for many hours. When the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs was forced to publish its first comment on the “X” platform, it excluded reference to the identity of the perpetrator that the whole world spoke about, because it adhered to the rituals of coalition discourse that required isolating the Israeli character from the perpetrators of atrocities and war crimes.

The allies of extermination initially resorted to hollow verbal maneuvers. To absorb the extreme embarrassment caused by targeting the “Global Central Kitchen” team, but the repercussions of the Israeli slap narrowed the margins of action available to them, and they realized that it might incur heavy internal political costs if they continued to appear in the chorus of supporters of the brutality that caused victims among their citizens.

This change was clearly evident in Rishi Sunak’s behavior after discovering that three Britons were killed in the serial Israeli bombing, and after legal assessments were received that the continued arming of the Israeli army puts the Sunak government itself in the range of potential legal accountability, even before the killing of its citizens in Gaza, whose blood shed is no longer Palestinian. Just.

In the history of the ongoing war of genocide in Gaza, some may later record that the massacre of the “World Central Kitchen” team was a turning point in the path of the occupation allies, specifically after the poison cooks tasted something of what they were preparing.
