Whose Fault Is the Gaza Aid Fiasco?
PJ Media ^ | 05/29/2025 | Rick Moran

There's a new Gaza aid organization, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), sponsored by Israel and the United States, that the UN and most international aid groups oppose.

The UN says the group was engaged in “engineered scarcity” rather than feeding Gazans. In fact, the whole purpose of the GHF was to prevent the UN and other NGO aid groups from using Hamas-controlled conduits to deliver aid. Israel suspects that those conduits divert aid from civilians to feed Hamas terrorists.

The UN rejects that claim and says the biggest problem with the Foundation is that they don't give aid to everyone who asks. 

"Humanitarian groups and the U.N. have said they cannot work with the group, raising concerns that the aid program could violate humanitarian principles, militarize aid delivery, and lead to further displacement of Palestinians," reports the Washington Post.

GHF operates four aid distribution hubs throughout Gaza, guarded by private security contractors. The aid sites have chain-link fences that move Palestinians into aid centers that are surrounded by large sand berms. All of this security didn't help much on Tuesday when thousands of Gazans stormed the site and someone fired into the crowd, killing one Gazan and wounding 48. 

Israel denies it opened fire. The military contractors also say they didn't fire on civilians. The military said it fired warning shots to try to manage the unruly crowd. The facts are in dispute, but what's clear is that the UN and the humanitarian groups opposing the GHF are gleefully claiming, "I told you so."

“We warned this would happen, and now it’s unraveling before our eyes. What is being presented as a humanitarian mechanism is, in reality, a system of control,” said Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam’s policy lead for the Palestinian territories.

Israel should stop sending in all the free aid and supplies to her enemmies. And prevent any others from doing so.

It is INSANE to feed and supply those who are still occupying some of your land and wh have attacked you and kidnapped hundreds of your people at gunpoint... and are still holding some of them too.

The word is not “humanitarian” the word is simply: “Insane!”

Three guesses, and the first two don't count. Starts with "H" and ends with "ASS."

Here’s one of many recent videos showing the islamofascistnazis trying to hijack relief supplies. One of the ways the Hamas billionaires built their billions is hijacking whatever they desired. These billionaires would never set foot in Gaza, or use their billions to help “their people.” When Israel closed off the Rafah terror and smuggling tunnels, the billionaires were none too pleased.

Oh yes, before Oct 7, Israel was trucking in TONS of aid into Gaza, DAILY.

The video below demonstrates Israel’s resolve to aid civilians, while eliminating the islamofascistnazis.

Be sure to watch until the end. It is not too long. Just long enough.

There seems to be an implicit admission here that UN sponsored aid is deliberately aid to HAMAS, not to civilians.

From less than an hour ago:

The IDF spokesperson in Arabic, Colonel Avichay Adraee, published a broad and unusual evacuation notice for residents of several areas in northern Gaza, including the entire Shejaiya neighborhood, Daraj Tuffah, Zeitoun, and parts of Jabalia.

Unlike the UN which was engaged in engineered terrorism instead of feeding the Gazans.

Who cares? No one gave two craps about German children (actually) starving and suffering dysentery in Nazi Germany as we bombed the shit out of them each and every day. Then they SURRENDERED, and we fed them.

Not sure if this stuff gets posted here. It looks like the scene was not supposed to be found.

.

Israel says aid workers tried to sneak in with no lights on. UN finds 15 bodies and vehicles covered up(literally) a week later -.
