It’s worth saying again: It doesn’t change the bombs or the imperial power structure.

The press keeps repeating Israeli propaganda that the strike on World Central Kitchen workers was an accident. No, the IDF clearly stated they thought there was a militant in the convoy, so they chose to murder everyone in the vehicles. That is an active decision, not a mistake.
