World Central Kitchen fires 62 Gazan workers accused by Israel of terror ties
2024-12-11
[IsraelTimes] Aid group says Israel did not share evidence of claims, insists move taken ‘to protect our team and our operations’ and that it should not be seen as an indictment of those fired

A US-based charity, the World Central Kitchen, fired dozens of Paleostinians working for the charity in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, three workers told Rooters after Israel said at least 62 staff were linked to terror groups.

In a message to staff, WCK confirmed that it had "made changes" after Israel demanded an investigation into its hiring practices in Gaza.

"This should not be taken as a conclusion by WCK that the individuals are affiliated with any terror organization," it said, adding that Israel had not shared its intelligence and "we do not know the basis for Israel’s decision to flag these individuals."

It said it had taken the step "to protect our team and our operations." A WCK spokesperson confirmed that 62 people had been let go.

An Israeli security official told Rooters that Israel had demanded an investigation into staff potentially linked to the Hamas

in Gaza on November 30. WCK confirmed the airstrike at the time and said it had no knowledge about an employee involved in last year’s brutal assault.

The official said an Israeli security review found that 62 WCK employees had "affiliations and direct connections" with terror groups.

"Consequently, senior Israeli officials demanded that WCK terminate the employment of those workers," he said.

The Israeli allegations against WCK staff echo similar accusations against staff working for the main United Nations

Paleostinian relief body, UNRWA. In August, the United Nations said nine UNRWA staff members may have been involved in the October 7 massacre and had been fired.

Israel has alleged that 10 percent of the UN agency’s staff in Gaza have ties to terror groups — a charge of which the agency says it has no evidence.

Two WCK workers, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of security concerns, said they had been informed the termination was based on an Israeli assessment of the workers and came for "security reasons," a term usually used to indicate links with Paleostinian terror groups.

"They told me and others that Israel rejected us for security reasons. It is a joke," one worker told Rooters, asking not to be named for fear of Israeli reprisals.

#6  Evidence is for sure being shared judging by how quickly the story about those WEF Commie Kitchen couriers getting zapped went poof.

#5  #4 I was referring to the (obviously false) claim that they've not received evidence from Israel.

#4  So, they say that they're firing these people just for being Gazans?

It is more a matter of self interest. If the IDF thinks they are terrs, they are gonna get whacked. The rest of the staff do not want to be standing around next to them when it happens.

#2  ..well, Gazans and Hamas is pretty much a very tight Venn Diagram. Sort of like separating Nazis and Germans in 1940.
