Ben Shapiro accused Chef Jose Andres of "blood libel" on Wednesday for claiming that World Central Kitchen aid workers were "targeted deliberately" by Israel while coordinating their location with the IDF.

Chef José Andrés said the 7 aid workers killed by an Israeli airstrike were "targeted deliberately," and he believes the conflict in Gaza is "not a war against terrorism anymore" and instead, it's a "war against humanity itself."

The IDF killed WCK's crew with three separate strikes while "traveling in a deconflicted zone in two armored cars branded with the WCK logo and a soft skin vehicle" and sent a missile directly through the WCK logo on the top of one of their SUVs.

The distance between each bombed WCK & the other shows beyond any doubt how the IDF took their time to deliberately & surgically eliminate the entire crew.

"World Central Kitchen does good work, but this is a blood libel unsupportable by logic or evidence," Shapiro said in response to Andres' claims shared by CBS News. "Also, Andres has been accusing Israel of targeting civilians and hospitals for months on Twitter, and called for a ceasefire on October 13, less than a week after October 7."

Andres actually strongly defended Israel's war on Gaza on October 16 but now Shapiro wants us to think he's a raging anti-Semite full of irrational hatred for no particular reason.

"This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable," World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore said in a statement in the wake of the strikes.

Multiple aid agencies announced they would be retreating from Gaza as a result of the targeted strikes, which was clearly Israel's goal.
