LBC HOST TO ISRAEL: 'FROM ONE FRIEND TO ANOTHER, THIS HAS TO STOP'

Nick Ferrari, a right-wing morning show host for British radio station LBC, is, in his own words, a 'friend of Israel.'

However, even he could not stay silent when Israel killed seven food-aid workers travelling on 1 April through the Gaza Strip. The World Central Kitchen (WCK) cars were marked with the NGO’s logos, and aid workers coordinated with the Israeli military on designated routes. Israel claims the attack was a mistake.

Despite these details, the United States and the United Kingdom continue to support Israel, with Washington delivering more than 2,000 bombs on the day of the deadly attack.

Moreover, while Western leaders mourn the deaths of primarily white WCK aid workers who had hailed from Australia, Canada, Poland, the UK and the US—and one from Palestine—they have not done the same for the more than 33,000 Palestinian civilians that Israel has killed via bombardment and siege since 7 October.

Is this a case of the Global North demonstrating callousness toward Palestinians, or do you think Western leaders have good reason to mourn these aid workers? Let us know in the comments.
