World Central Kitchen announces it is halting operations in Gaza after Israel targeted one of its vehicles in an airstrike, reportedly killing three WCK staff and then two rescue workers. The IDF claims—without providing evidence—that one of the WCK workers was a “terrorist.”

Israel Defense Forces
@IDF
Earlier today, the IDF struck a vehicle with a terrorist, Hazmi Kadih, who took part in invading Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre. Kadih was monitored by IDF intelligence for a while and was struck following credible information regarding his real-time location.
Kadih also worked for the @WCKitchen organization, and following the incident, @cogatonline representatives demanded senior officials from the international community and the WCK administration to clarify the issue and order an urgent examination regarding the hiring of workers who took part in the October 7 massacre and terrorist attacks against the State of Israel.

We emphasize that according to current information, it is not possible to link the terrorist to a specific abduction attempt.
The IDF requests to follow the
announcements of official sources only and to avoid the spreading of rumors that hurt the families and the public.
The IDF and ISA will continue to operate to locate and eliminate terrorists who conduct terrorist activities against the civilians of Israel and those involved in the October 7 massacre.

Oregon State University graduate students are currently on strike fighting for livable wages and a fair contract length - please spread the word! For more information check out this great OPB article: www.opb.org/article/2024...

In mediation on November 11, OSU's bargaining team did not move towards CGE's proposals regarding salary or contract term. They continue to insist on 4 year contract cycles with no partial reopeners and only a 10% raise to the minimum now, followed by another 2% in years 3 and 4. Their proposed contract locks incoming graduates into unsustainable conditions and cripples their bargaining power.
After a year of openly combative negotiations, OSU has made it abundantly clear that their priority is not the pursuit of knowledge, but rather the pursuit of money, even at the expense of their own dedicated, hard-working, and talented graduate employees.
We cannot accept this.
