Slander and Impunity: The World Central Kitchen Killings in Gaza In September 2025, nine countries launched the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel. Australia explained its important if dark inspiration in pursuing it: the slaying of Zomi Francken, along with six of her colleagues from the World Central Kitchen charity on April 1, 2024 by Israeli forces in Gaza. All perished to an attack consisting of three missiles fired from a Hermes 450 drone in a stated “deconflicted” zone, despite clear logo markings on the convoy vehicles and extensive coordination regarding their movements with the Israeli authorities.

From Auschwitz to the Gallows: What “Never Again” Still Owes Gaza Gaza is not Auschwitz. Palestinians are not the Jews of 1940s Europe. Israel is not Nazi Germany. The gas chambers, the trains, the ghettos, the machinery built to annihilate six million Jews belong to a specific history, and that history’s singularity deserves protection.
