How World Central Kitchen serves Israel’s genocidal agenda
Trojan horse
Tel Aviv and Washington see World Central Kitchen as a tool to achieve Israel’s long-standing goal of displacing and destroying UNRWA and installing a new Israeli-controlled regime in Gaza.
UNRWA is the only organization with the infrastructure in Gaza to meet the needs of the entire population if it were allowed to work unimpeded. But this is not what Israel and the United States want.
In recent weeks, Israeli media reported that Israel is “pushing for the establishment of an international peacekeeping force to secure the Gaza Strip and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid.”
But this is only a cover for so-called “day after” plans aimed at reimposing permanent Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip.
….
It starts to make sense why World Central Kitchen has been given preferential treatment by both the United States and Israel, even while Israel continues to systematically block other humanitarian aid to Gaza, especially from UNRWA.
….
Chef gives war advice
Even though he is now more openly critical of Israel, Andrés continues to support its attack on Gaza.
In a 3 April New York Times op-ed, Andrés sticks to the line that the Palestinian resistance operation that primarily targeted and defeated the Israeli army’s Gaza division on 7 October amounted to “the worst terrorist attack in [Israel’s] history.”
At no point in the op-ed does Andrés call for a ceasefire, instead offering Israel praise and advice on how to wage its attack in what he would presumably consider to be a more acceptable manner.
….
Close to the US government
Following the Israeli murder of the World Central Kitchen workers, President Joe Biden personally called Andrés to express his condolences and support.
By contrast there has been no report of Biden calling the head of UNRWA, even after Israel has killed more than 175 of that agency’s staff – the highest number of UN personnel to be killed during any conflict in history.
….
By collaborating with Israel and the United States at the expense of bigger and more effective aid mechanisms, World Central Kitchen is serving their genocidal agenda.

Jared Kushner once lent Benjamin Netanyahu his bed.
That’s a juicy takeaway from Jodi Kantor’s deep dive into the first son-in-law and his relationship with Israel published over the weekend in The New York Times.Netanyahu has long been a friend of the Kushners, and particularly Jared’s dad, Charles Kushner, a major donor to “pro-Israel and Jewish causes”.

Iran's mission to the United Nations stressed the need for its country to respond to the Israeli attack on its consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus , which led to the martyrdom of 7 Iranian advisors, including Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi.
The mission said on Thursday that if the UN Security Council had “condemned the Zionist aggression against our diplomatic headquarters in Damascus, and subsequently prosecuted its perpetrators, Iran could have ignored the need to punish this entity.”
The Leader of the Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mr. Ali Khamenei, also confirmed yesterday, Wednesday, that the Zionist entity will be punished for the crime of the Iranian consulate in Damascus .

Italy, kneeling by the Draghi government to the US maneuvers in Ukraine, is today governed by the grandchildren of the partisan shooters. Between poorly concealed nostalgia for the twentieth century, the clear personal interest of the Minister of Defense in arms trafficking (Guido Crosetto is an "entrepreneur in the defense sector" by trade) and complicity in the Palestinian genocide, our country is a crutch of the warmongers and Zionists.
