A collection of X posts on the World Central Kitchen aid workers killed in Gaza

Warning: the final paragraph of this post explains something deeply disturbing that I found. Stop reading after the final X post if you prefer to avoid it.

“These are the heroes of WCK. These 7 beautiful souls were killed by the IDF in a strike as they were returning from a full day's mission. Their smiles, laughter, and voices are forever embedded in our memories.” – Erin Gore, CEO. Read more: https://t.co/4f38RQ1l4I pic.twitter.com/neAsSzKVP5

"When Jacob Flickinger went to the Gaza Strip three weeks ago to distribute food with World Central Kitchen, he asked his father to tell his mother he was in Cyprus instead. He didn’t want her to worry."

These people were not only selfless and generous, they were braver than anyone I know. It took tremendous courage to enter a warzone in order to help people they didn’t even know. They probably trusted Israel and that makes me feel sick.

While gathering these posts, I ended up in tears and nauseous. Tears for obvious reasons, nauseous after seeing photos of men posing with their dead bodies sent by IDF soldiers on Telegram. I won’t repeat the disgusting, depraved things they said, mocking them, but it really pissed me off to see how many “?” reactions those messages got. That only confirms what we already knew…. They were killed on purpose.
