Israeli Colonel Nochi Mendel says he stands by his decision to carry out the April 2024 World Central Kitchen (WCK) massacre in Gaza, accusing the organization of having “ties to Hamas” during an interview with ABC published on 27 August.

"I’m the commander, and I’m the one who gave the order to carry out the operation,” Mendel said, adding “I’m not sorry for what I did.”

Mendel spoke to ABC in October 2025. Last week, the Israeli military confirmed it would bring no criminal proceedings and impose no further penalties on anyone involved in the April 2024 massacre of seven WCK aid workers.

    Of course he’s not sorry. There’s no repercussions for his actions so why would he give a shit. Zionist don’t give a shit about empathy or other people. They are entirely self-centered. From his perspective, the only people suffering are “others” and he doesn’t give af about “others”.

    Israel’s refusal to hold its own forces to account comes as Haaretz reported the Israeli army and Shin Bet have turned ISIS-linked criminal gangs and mercenaries recruited inside Gaza into an operational arm to commit war crimes on their behalf throughout the strip while providing artillery and drone cover.

    I wonder how many years they’ve been doing that kind of thing…

      Do not call for direct and specific violence like this on an article I shared, it is dangerous and it really just ends up accelerating everything in the end.
