It's quite clear from these videos, and there's scores of them, that while the Western media and NGOs blame Israel for the food situation, most Gazans blame Hamas.

‘When my father was a little boy in Poland, the streets of Europe were covered with graffiti, “Jews, go back to Palestine...” When my father revisited Europe fifty years later, the walls were covered with new graffiti, “Jews, get out of Palestine.”’ - Amos Oz

According to data from Suwayda, #Syria, 31 villages have been nearly destroyed, about 150,000 internally displaced, and 2,000–2,500 killed. The atrocities, included killing, torture, burning, and rape, surpassing terrorism in scale. Residents were kidnapped, wells and grain…

Israel brought international journalists into Gaza to view the large stockpiles of aid that the UN failed to distribute, while screaming about famine. Now they have been exposed, UN have resumed distribution, with 270+ truckloads of aid delivered yesterday and today.

I know the tech folks would like you to believe that all art is just other art chopped up and blended and recombined but that's not what the artists believe. Not now and not ever They believe art comes from beyond Maybe they know more abt this than Stanford engineering majors

No answers, only questions. One reason I think the high prices are not indicative of the real food situation in Gaza, is that so many people appear to have money to spend. They make video after video of themselves “what we eat during the famine”, and they’ll be cooking fresh…

Today, we facilitated a Women's Only distribution at our SDS2 (Khan Younis) site. Watch these women express their gratitude for our efforts. ⬇️ GHF is committed to constantly improving our methods to ensure the people of Gaza can access lifesaving food safely and…

One day, not long from now, historians will ask why Hamas dug in for so long, inflicting unspeakable pain even upon its own people. The consensus will emerge from the historical evidence that it was because of the encouragement and misplaced sympathy Hamas received from the West:…

The media critique at the heart of the May 6 @TheFP famine story--that western media and NGOs use Hamas-driven narratives and numbers in order to redefine legal and technical terms of armed conflict like "famine" and "genocide"--was true then and remains true today. There is…

An old Soviet joke. The Russians arrest a Jew for studying Hebrew. “Why are you studying Hebrew in Russia? You will die before being allowed to go to Israel.” “When I die, I will go to heaven and everyone there will speak Hebrew.” “Ha! And what if you go to hell?” “I already…

Israel-Gaza is the only war I know of in which the side whose people are suffering because of the war see that as a reason to keep fighting as opposed to surrender, because they figure (correctly in this case) it will pressure the other side to make concessions. Has there ever…

Why is there so little talk about the humanitarian aid blocked BY Hamas? About the ceasefire negotiations that are broken off each time BECAUSE of Hamas’s increasing demands ? Why all the pressure on #Israel & NOT on #Hamas to lay down its arms and release the remaining hostages?

NEW: In case it wasn’t already clear before, Dem @RitchieTorres explicitly says he has “no plans to endorse” Mamdani. This is what having a moral compass looks like. To anyone who doubted Torres…it’s time to acknowledge you were wrong.

Statehood of those who have never had a state before is an inalienable right, apparently! Amazing news for the Kurds, Yazidis, Basques, et al. This is a pivotal moment in British foreign policy for all these groups, obviously! Man, the Spanish are going to be mad.

It is profoundly disturbing to see young social media influencers casually rationalize Hitler and the Nazi regime’s systematic extermination of six million Jews during the Holocaust. The only thing more terrifying than Holocaust denial is Holocaust glorification. The comfort…

The UN is lying to you. The BBC is lying to you. The big NGOs are lying to you.

Today too, the @UN and international organizations collected from the crossings and distributed in Gaza about 120 trucks of aid. What happened all of a sudden? When publicly accused, they spring into action? When there is determination, success follows?

Hamas's strategy laid bare: keep Gaza close to a hunger crisis and occasionally flip the switch to get the world to pressure Israel to allow Hamas to restock its shelves and refill its coffers. It's monstrous, and its enablers ought to be filled with shame:

🚨 FABRICATED SUFFERING IS NOT EVIDENCE - IT'S PROPAGANDA! This video of a newborn having a seizure, taken from a nursing page on FaceBook, is pushed by media outlets as a starving baby in Gaza. If there are starving babies in Gaza, why do they fake the evidence?
