your support. The Associated Press yesterday reports at least thirty
one people were killed and over one hundred and seventy
were wounded Sunday as large crowds were on their way
to receive food in the Gaza strip, according to health
officials and witnesses. Which health officials? Who are these witnesses? Hmmm,
witnesses said Israeli forced by the way the Israelis do
not allow foreign media in so reporting by the AP
by Mohammad Jaju and Sammy Magdi, I'm a little suspicious
of considering that the only reason you are in Gaza
or able to report on this stuff is at the
behest of Hamas and the AP remember like they were
caught years ago, years ago doing deals in order to
be able to report from Gaza. Didn't they share an
office tower and office building with Hamas like I got
fifteen years ago. I want to say ten years ago. So,
witnesses said. Israeli forces fired towards the crowd just before
dawn around a kilometer or eleven hundred yards from an
AID site run by an Israeli backed foundation. Israel's military
denied its forces fired its civilians or within the site
in the southern city of Rafa. An Israeli military official,
speaking on condition of anonymity in line with procedure, said
troops fired warning shots at several suspects that were advancing
towards them overnight. The military also released drone footage that
it said was shot Sunday, apparently in daylight, in the
southern city of Conunis, showing what it said were armed
masked men firing against civilians trying to collect AID. I
have seen the video. There's another video of this was
posted up by Neftali Bennett, the thirteenth Prime Minister of Israel.
He says, here is the proof. This is the specific
food distribution site at the precise time that Israeli tanks
supposedly shot them, because that was another one of the allegations. Oh,
they opened fire with tanks, they dropped like seven nuclear
warheads on us. Yeah, there's footage though, they got cameras
set up all over the place. There there was nothing,
There was no shooting, There wasn't anything except people in
line getting food. The military released drone footage, but the
Associated press I love this, could not independently verify the video.
The AP never says that about anything that comes from Hamas. Oh, sorry,
the health officials, the Gossen Health Ministry, that's Hamas, the beheaders,
the rapists, the terrorists. Yeah, that that crowd. At least,
I will say small victories. At least. I'm not hearing
the military wing anymore of Hamas, Like you don't hear
that they because that that delineation was foisted upon us
for like twenty years. Anytime you ever had a story
about the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the PLO or the PLA
right or HAMAS, you would always get this this you know,
descriptor thrown in that. Oh you know, this is the
Ministry of Health. It's the political wing of HAMAS. Or
if the terrorists did something, No, that's the military wing.
Of Hamas. Nobody else gets that kind of delineation, right,
only the Palestinians and their government government. So the AP
could not independently verify the video, and it was not
clear who was being targeted. Quote, Hamas is doing everything
in its power to prevent the successful distribution of food
in Gaza, according to the statement from the Israelis. So
note the standard verification for Israeli claims no verification for
Hamas claims the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation or the g HF.
And if you haven't heard of this, it's because it's
brand new. It's been in the works for a while.
And I've got some details about this about the GHF,
and I'm gonna get to that in a bit. But
they put out a statement, and they released a separate
video that it said was shot Sunday at the site
that appears to show people collecting the aid. Once again,
here the AP was not able to verify the video. Again,
I want to make it very clear, we could not
verify that this was that this was true. We got
we got dead Palestinians here. We have to we have
to take Gaza Health Ministry data face value for that,
because surely Hamas would not kill its own people, right,
it would never do something. Oh, that's right, We do
have video of them doing that very thing. Throughout the
almost two years of this war, the foundation has denied
previous accounts of chaos and gunfire around its site, all
of its sites which are in Israeli military zones where
independent media has no access. So there's the ap with
its e won't let us in. It was the deadliest
incident yet around the new aid distribution system, which has
operated for less than a week. So here's a question.
You have this independent organization with the goal of taking
the food distribution system away from Hamas because that's how
they control their people. And so if you get that
out of their hands, you actually get food to the
people and now they won't be starving to death, right,
which is what I thought everybody was super upset about
all this time. Right, So okay, now you got food.
Oh no, no, you can't do it that way. Okay. So
why would this organization set up this entire operation to
get food and water and supplies to the Gosen people
only to shoot them? What would be the point of that?
Why would the IDF gun down civilians while protecting the
food Distribution Center now the International Committee of the Red Cross,
and they've not been tainted at all in their years
of work with Hamas. They said in a statement that
It's Field Hospital in Rafa received one hundred and seventy
nine casualties, including women and children, twenty one of them
declared dead upon arrival, the majority with gunshot or shrapnel wounds.
It was unclear if any of the dead were militants
or HAMAS fighters. Right, militants, So it's unclear if any
of the dead were HAMAS fighters. Why would that be unclear?
You certainly have information about women and children and such. So,
oh did they not give you that information? Red Cross?
Is that what happened? Like you don't actually have access
to the people to figure this out. Oh and if
you do have the access and you do find out
that a bunch of HAMAS fighters got shot up and killed,
is that information HAMAS would allow you to publish se
Because HAMAS doesn't differentiate when they give you their death
counts and stuff, even if they're legit, even if they're
accurate counts, which they are not. But even if they were,
they don't differentiate. They're all the same. They count civilians
as fighters and fighters as civilians. Multiple witnesses have said
Israeli troops fired on crowds near the Foundation sites. Okay,
multiple witnesses Before Sunday, seventeen people were killed while trying
to reach them. According to Zaher al Wahiti, he is
the head of the Gaza Health Ministries records department, where
the only qualification needed is to make up large numbers.
The Foundation says private, so you're relying on hamas to
tell you about the witnesses. The Foundation says, private security
contractors guarding the sites have not fired on crowds. That's
the GHF. They're like, we haven't fired on anybody. Israel's
military has acknowledged firing warning shots on previous occasions, though, okay,
so warning shots, not like just mowing down crowds of
people waiting in line for food. Okay. The Foundation said
in a statement that it distributed sixteen truckloads of aid
early Sunday, quote without incident, and dismissed what it described
as false reporting about deaths, mass injuries, and care. UN
agencies and major aid groups have refused to work with
the new system, saying it violates humanitarian principles. The UN
will not help with the GHF. I'm sure there's a
really good reason, all right. So spring is here a
time of renewal and celebrations. You've got graduations, weddings, anniversaries,

the Associated press reporting on the Hamas propaganda that the
IDF murdered a whole bunch of people after enticing them
baiting them with free food. And see, this is why
you shouldn't fall for the lies of the Israelis, the
Jewish lies. They're going to give you free food. Huh No,
they're trying to murder you. We should be the provider
of the food. We need to re implement all of
the humanitarian aid flows where we took control of it
all and then sold it to you for exorbitant pricing.
Israel in the US say that this new system, the
GHF is aimed at preventing Hamas from siphoning off assistance.
Israel has not provided evidence of systematic diversion, and the
UN denies that it has occurred. So once again, Israel
says Hamas is in charge of the distribution in the
Gaza strip. But the AP I'm not so sure I
can believe that. Sorry, ISRAELI is just saying it. I
don't trust them now. FAMAS says that they're handing it
all out for free and they're running a stellar operation. Well,
I believe that, no need to verify that UN agencies
and major aid groups say the new system allows Israel
to control who receives aid and forces people to relocate
to distribution sites, risking yet more mass displacement in the
coastal territory. So what's the argument. The argument is that
you've only set up four distribution sites. You don't have
as widespread a network, and that's not humanitarian to make
people come to your sites. Even though the GHF says, yeah,
we just rolled this out last week. We intend to
have more sites, but we rolled it out and we're
going to be growing it over time. But no, no, no,
we can't do that. See, this is you're trying to
displace people. It's all about the ulterior motives. We're on
to you Jews. That's what this is. The UN system
has struggled to bring in aid after Israel slightly eased
it's nearly three month blockade of the territory last month.
The group says Israeli restrictions the breakdown of law and order,
and yeah, well the breakdown of law and order right
under the rule of Hamas. I mean, I guess that
is a kind of law and order, okay, But also
widespread looting has made it extremely difficult to deliver aid
to Gaza's roughly two million Palestinians. I covered the story,
I don't know months ago, six months ago, that Hamas
was looting all of the UN aid, But the UN
can't say that, or they won't say that. They don't
want to acknowledge that Hamas is packed with bad actors
because they control access, so if you speak ill of Hamas,
you don't get the access anymore. Experts have warned that
the territory is at risk of famine if more aid
is not brought in. But we must control it. That's
what the UN is saying, is going to be mass famine.
We have to get aid in there. Oh but no, no, no, no, no,
not that, not that kind of aid. It's got to
go through US and Hamas. The American contractors that are
providing the security for the GHF at their distribution sites, right,
they have said it's a lie that any of them
or the Israelis opened fire on anybody. The video says
it's a lie. The Israeli say it's a lie. The
GHF says it's a lie. Every news outlet, though, runs
with the lie, the goal of suggesting the distribution centers
are dangerous, is advanced. That's the point. That's the point.
It's to make the people in Gaza believe that they
will be mowed down if they are enticed to the
distribution sites. Why would Hamas do that? Think about that?
Why would Hamas try to dissuade its people from going
to get food rather than starve to death. They don't
value the lives of their own people. It's leverage. The
GHF is operating efficient, free and safe food distribution centers
are a bigger threat to Hamas than Israeli bombs ever were,
because they eat away at the heart of their support
among Gosins. So for all the people that are saying, oh,
you know, you drop a bomb, you kill one terrorist
and then you create ten more. Right, so, you can't
win a war like this. You just can't win a
war like this. Okay, Well how about this? How about
we dismantle the funding sources and the method of control
that Hamas uses over its people. How about that? Oh no,
you can't do that either. It's almost as if it's
almost just spitballing here. They don't want there to be
anyway for Israel to win. That's what it kind of
feels like, just set up all of these different kinds
of standards that nobody can comply with, and then ceasefire.
Hamastes in power and by the way, hamas is. Their
latest negotiation ploy was to say a ceasefire. They wanted
like seven years, a seven years ceasefire, and they would
only return half or a third I forget of the hostages.
So they were going to keep a half of the
hostages for another seven years. That was what they offered. Yeah,
they they do not want an end. The only end
they want is Israel dead, every Israeli dead. They want
all of the territory Israel cannot exist. That's it, that's
their aim. Believe them when they say it. Here's a

the Free Press. THEFP dot com is the website The
Free Press. Write's a pretty lengthy story here about this
new aid group, the gas JEF, and she starts with
a little bit of history I'm not going to go
into all of it, but the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency UNROAH, which is a stupid acronym that should
never have been turned into a single word like I
just said, unwah unruhah stupid. Anyway, it has been the
primary source of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria,
the West Bank and Gaza since its founding in nineteen
forty nine. The trouble with the UN serving as the
main source of aid, according to the Israelis and the US,
is Hamas. That's the problem. One of the most alarming
facts that emerged following October seventh was the involvement of
UN workers, including school teachers, in the attack. At least
twelve UNWAH employees participated in the attack, including by kidnapping Israelis.
According to the Wall Street Journal, some ten percent of
Gaza's UNRWA workforce have ties to Hamas or other Islamist
militant groups. Hamas siphons aid meant for ordinary Gazans. The
terrorist group loots the distribution trucks carrying food and then
sells the stolen goods on the black market at inflated prices.
HAMAS then pays its fighters with the money earned from
the black market. So this is why the creation of
an alternative food and aid distribution system is an existential
threat to HAMAS. So they have to convince their own
people not to go there, and they threaten them, don't
you do that. Don't you go take that Zionist or
the American's food. They probably poisoned it. I'm sure that
stuff is all making the rounds, right. They probably put
you know, some things that we're not allowed to eat,
like I guess pork products or something, right, Like they
probably washed it all in pigs blood or something. Anything
to keep them from going to these distribution sites. Looting
is not all that HAMAS does. According to a document
reviewed by The Free Press based on Israeli intelligence information,
HAMAS embeds operatives within the UN's supply chain to manage
the flow of funds to the terrorist organization. According to
the same document, in twenty twenty four, a loon HAMAS
intercepted five hundred million dollars worth of aid. This has
been an issue for years for years, but now it's
become critical. Stockpiles of humanitarian aid aid from the UN
have run out after Israel blocked all aid from entering
Gaza between March second and May nineteenth as a way
to pressure Hamas into extending a ceasefire and releasing their hostages.
Because the situation got so bad, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
enters the picture. This thing started as an idea in
late October twenty twenty three during a brainstorm session in
Israel among a small group of prominent entrepreneurs and businessmen
from all over the world, who, according to one source
with detailed knowledge of the meeting, they understood the mechanisms
by which Hamas controlled the population in Gaza through humanitarian
aid distribution, and they also knew that Gazin's badly needed help,
so they said, let's build a different system. The Free
Press has confirmed reporting from The New York Times that
plans took in early spring twenty twenty four, when Israeli
American venture capitalist Michael Eisenberg and an Israeli tech investor,
Learn Tankman met with former CIA officer Philip Riley to
discuss how to distribute aid in a new way. Riley,
at this point has his own company, it's called Safe
Reach Solutions. He had previously worked in Gaza's Netsarim Corridor
checking Palestinian vehicles for weapons and explosives during a ceasefire
between Israel and Tomas. So he's familiar with the region
and the people and the operations. Now, the GHF's funding
structure is unclear, according to this report, and critics say
that Israel is too involved, and by that they mean
involved at all, and that they're militarizing access to aid
through the foundation. A spokesperson from the foundation confirmed to
the Free Press that one as yet unnamed Western European
country is a major donor. We don't know so Western
European country. Don't know what country it is, but they're
putting out a lot of money towards this. On Wednesday,
under the leadership of Philip Riley, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
and its local Palestinian partners, alongside American security contractors from
Riley's Safe Reach Solutions, delivered an estimated fourteen five hundred
boxes of shelf stable food two gozzans of all ages
and demographics. It gave out aid thirty pound boxes full
of pasta, rice, flour, cooking oil, canned goods at two
sites the organization refers to as Secure distribution sites, both
of which are located in southern Gaza. Israeli troops are
stationed at a distance outside of the sites, but according
to a Foundation spokesperson, Israel ANDVDF have no operational control
over theghf's work or mission, and the organization remains neutral.
Isn't this what people have been clamoring for? Right? All right?
If you're listening to this show, you know I try
to keep up with all sorts of current events, and
I know you do too, And you've probably heard me
say get your news from multiple sources. Why Well, because
it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've
been so impressed with ground News. It's an app, and
it's a website, and it combines news from around the
world in one place so you can compare coverage and
verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground,

podcast description too. I started using ground News a few
months ago and more recently chose to work with them
as an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how

weeks into starting the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. In his role,
this was a US marine veteran and entrepreneur named Jake Wood.
He stepped down after just a couple weeks, and he
said that he was leaving due to concerns over a
lack of impartiality and neutrality in distributing humanitarian aid. I
don't know what that means. He did not explain it,
but as you heard in the interview we did last
Hour with Ruthie Bloom, they are screening people out if
you are with Hamas, which I feel is legitimate right.
According to a senior Trump Administration official, Hamas had set
up blockades to prevent gosins from entering the foundation's secure
distribution sites. Again, why are you trying to stop your
own people from getting food so they don't starve to death?
Because they don't care about their own people. The more
their own people suffer and die, the stronger Hamas perceives
itself to be because they can then capitalize on it.
The whole thing is propaganda, has been I've talked about
Pallywood for twenty years. They've been doing this Pallwood. It's
the fake movies they make. The whole thing is at
some of the people I've seen some of these videos
also that they are astounded that the food is free.
The Gozzins who show up and get the food, they
can't believe it's free. They're thanking Trump. They're like, thank you,
President Trump for giving us food. None of the foundation's
success in providing over eight hundred and forty thousand meals
so far seems to translate on social media, though, where
images of the aid handout were rapidly turned into memes
comparing Gozsins waiting for food to Jewish prisoners waiting at Auschwitz.
That's where I became aware of this. Over the weekend.
I started seeing these images of like lines of Jews
to you know, being led to the gas chambers, and
then the lines of the Gozsins getting free food, and like, oh,
it looks a lot like Schwitz or something like, what
are they even talking about? This doesn't make any sense.
So that's what they use the images to do. They're
trying to undermine the effort. Hamas is trying to undermine
the effort. Leftists are attempting to undermine this effort because
the point is the destruction of Western society so they
can usher in their, you know, communist utopia. Javiv retig
Gur a senior analyst for the Times of Israel. He
told The Free Press that the fact that Hamas is
openly threatening gosens is a sign that the new Aid
group is making a difference. Quote why is Hamas threatening this?
Because they're desperate and the strategy is working. They're desperate
not to lose control of the AID. Right, no aid,
no money for your soldiers. In a statement from earlier
this month, the United Nations denounced the GHF, calling it dangerous.
It's dangerous to force gossins to enter militarized zones to
collect rations right that the IDF controls. That's the only
way they can provide security and not have Hamas murder
their own people while they're trying to get the free food.
They called it dangerous Stefane Dujarik, a spokesperson for the
UN Secretary General, told reporters at a press conference that
the UN will not work with the GHF. Quote, we
will not participate in operations that do not meet our
humanitarian principles. Yeah. Hey, we've seen your humanitarian principles. I
mentioned the stats about all your UN workers that participated
in October seventh, So yeah, I have a really good
understanding of what you are okay with. Javiv Retigur told
The Free Pressed that detaching Hamas from humanitarian aid is
the right strategy, but the pressure is on to make
sure it works. Quote. The Israelis need to understand that
there is now a fire burning under them. This aid
distribution has to go well, and it has to go fast.
The war depends on it. The lives of many people
depend on it, and Israel's allies depend on it. There's
a writer named A. G. Hamilton. He says, this is
why the UN has been so loudly attacking the new
aid distribution system. It exposes their corruption and the system
they helped maintain that prioritizes the war strategies of Hamas
over the well being of Gaza residents. There's video footage
of hamas gunman shooting Palestinians at a different location near Kanunis.
There is video of the distribution site showing no shooting there.
There were some casualties that showed up at a Nasser
hospital in Conunis. The IDF says there was no shooting
incident or the distribution site. The GAJF, a group of
American contractors responsible for the site. They say there was
no shooting incident, but what the media ran with is
really tanks attack Palestinians. The lie that goes around the
world before the truth even gets out of bed, and
the media is culpable. All right, that'll do it for
