I along with the Israeli and Jewish community in general mourn with the rest of the world for the tragic loss of the seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen when the Israeli Defence Force mistakenly targeted the car that they were travelling in that night.
Israeli officials from all levels have rightfully apologised for this unintentional error, and are doing what they can to make sure that it doesn’t happen again
The World Central Kitchen is an amazing organisation that provides much-needed support to people around the globe, and the people that work for them just want to do good, and to help others.
I think about their families, co-workers and friends who will be forever scarred by their incredible loss.
Like all wars, this is a terrible war and deaths as a result of friendly fire are all but inevitable, especially in a war such as this one. Twenty per cent of all Israeli soldiers killed since the start of the ground invasion were from friendly fire, and hundreds, if not thousands, of Gazans were mistakenly killed by Hamas through rockets falling short and civilians being caught in the crossfire.
We can only hope that the fighting will end soon, and a permanent peace will somehow take over the region so that Israelis and Palestinians, who have so much in common, can live side by side and prosper. Peace now.
