IDF literally admitted they were intentional strikes.

And yet, western news media still claims it was an “accident”

Dafuq?! I dunno.

It's because there are different definitions of intentional and accidental in this context such that they are not always mutually exclusive.

The strike was intentionally targeted on those vehicles, but IDF claims it was accidental in that they were mistaken about the occupants of the vehicles. Whether this is true is unclear at this time.

I don't believe that bullshit for a microsecond. Either Israel is forehead caved in stupid, or they believe people like you are.

"All three vehicles were carrying civilians; they were marked as WCK vehicles; and their movements were in full compliance with Israeli authorities, who were aware of their itinerary, route, and humanitarian mission," WCK said in a statement Thursday. Source

Israel is a terrorist state that murders aid workers knowingly and intentionally, and abused claims of antisemitism to act with impunity against aid workers and civilians. There is a long history of this kind of behavior, so Israel deserves exactly 0 benefit of the doubt.

Part of the reason this conflict is so intractable is the blind rage that makes people see things in only black and white.

Personally I don’t think it’s that simple. It’s not about the benefit of the doubt, it’s about the summation of what we know, what we don’t know, and filling in the gaps with reasonable assumptions about what is possible or likely. Even if what you believe is true, it is still worthwhile to prove it.
