Joe Biden is screaming at Israel for civilian deaths?
By Monica Showalter
In Israel's war on Hamas, an unfortunate incident occurred where a U.S.-based group delivering food aid saw its vehicle bombed and its occupants, including a U.S.-Canadian dual citizen, were killed.
Israel apologized, and called it the fog of war.
Joe Biden blew his easily blown top.
According to the New York Times:
In a sharply worded statement, Mr. Biden said that he was “outraged and heartbroken” by the deaths of the workers, who included a dual citizen of the United States and Canada. The seven workers, traveling in a convoy, were with World Central Kitchen, a charity that was helping to feed starving Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Mr. Biden noted that the deaths were not a “stand-alone incident,” and that the “conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed.”
The president’s blunt criticism of an ally highlighted his growing impatience with Israel’s conduct of the war and increasing tensions with its leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the death toll in Gaza has climbed, according to Gazan health authorities, past 32,000.
Which is nonsense. Aid workers have been killed in war zones for as long as war has existed, and many of the so-called aid workers in this conflict have been actual members of Hamas. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, known as UNRWA, was famous for having at least 12 staff members on the terrorist team who actually participated in the October 7 terror attacks on Israel. Hundreds more cheered on internet bulletin boards, and Israel says there are more than just this dirty dozen.
Just because someone is billed an 'aid worker' doesn't mean that delivering aid is the only thing they're doing.

Modern wars are won and lost on TV screens.
Media is as much a military battlefront as land, sea, air, space, technology, economy, politics, and diplomacy.
Israel is losing on the TV battlefield. Striking aid workers three times is not a mistake or an accident ... it's a failure of command.

Regrettable, but it must be considered "collateral damage" in a time of war.

All I would have to do is think about the terrified kids captured at the concert on October 7th.
Screw your commands. Kill everything that moves.
