I bet that was intentional as well. Their strategy is to starve Gaza, and after these killings all international aid agencies are pulling out. No food will be going in. It's the same with their targeting of reporters and their families: they don't want information to come out either.

Intentional or blatantly incompetent, it's quite clear that Israel is using the same playbook as Putin when he strikes civilians in Ukraine.

Israel is way worse than Putin: all it takes is looking at the numbers of civilian deaths in merelly the first month of the Israelli attack on Gaza compared to the whole of the Invasion of Ukraine.

Not excusing Putin by the way, just pointing out how much more extreme Israel is in the Fascist scales.

You get the impression that Putin has no care at all about human life, but he is not driven by extreme racism, whilst Israel most definitelly is driven by extreme racism and hence they're activelly trying to exterminate an entire etnic group whom they call "human animals" which is why we keep on seeing from them all varieties of barbarous acts, not just bombings with massive "building" (500lb) and "residential block" (2000lb) wipping bombs and targetting humanitarian vehicles like this but even the use white posphurous against civilians and snipping of childrem.

Next to them Putin is merely a Fascist whilst Israel are full-on Nazis.

His right-hand man is Aleksandr Dugin

Bullshit. Dugin is a Western chauvinist fascist who is ideologically aligned with the Ukrainian coup government and the Ukrainian Nazis who terrorized the Donbas for almost a decade before Russia intervened two years ago. In what universe is he Putin’s “right-hand man”?

The US would absolutely love to have a regime change that put Dugin in power, because he would invite the American shock therapists back in to finish the plundering that they started in the ’90s under Yeltsin, and that Putin put an end to.

was killing passport holders from western countries

I think that was intentional too, it's aimed at scaring the volunteers.

Getting called out for it was unintentional.

I don't think even that's true. I think any potential consequences this story making the news could possibly incite have already been set in motion from what's already been in the news the past few months. They won't take any additional hit from one more thing added to the pile, but this being in the news will make activists think twice about risking their lives to provide aid.
