Israel has claimed that the killing of seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen in April 2024 was accidental.

Since October 2023, it has killed over 450 humanitarian workers and 1450 healthcare workers. It consistently targets the infrastructure for aid delivery. GHF "aid" hubs are kill zones.

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse

It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible

Jillian Segal and her cohorts, constantly reference something called "legitimate" or "acceptable" criticism of Israel.

Define exactly what "legitimate" or "acceptable" criticism of Israel is?

Where? When?

If you demand to legislate it, then you should be able to show examples of it - what is it?
