And again, thank you so much for 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,560 your support. The Associated Press yesterday reports at least thirty 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,119 one people were killed and over one hundred and seventy 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,320 were wounded Sunday as large crowds were on their way 12 00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:44,079 to receive food in the Gaza strip, according to health 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:51,280 officials and witnesses. Which health officials? Who are these witnesses? Hmmm, 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,719 witnesses said Israeli forced by the way the Israelis do 15 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,880 not allow foreign media in so reporting by the AP 16 00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:10,000 by Mohammad Jaju and Sammy Magdi, I'm a little suspicious 17 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,359 of considering that the only reason you are in Gaza 18 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,319 or able to report on this stuff is at the 19 00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:23,719 behest of Hamas and the AP remember like they were 20 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,239 caught years ago, years ago doing deals in order to 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,879 be able to report from Gaza. Didn't they share an 22 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,480 office tower and office building with Hamas like I got 23 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,879 fifteen years ago. I want to say ten years ago. So, 24 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,879 witnesses said. Israeli forces fired towards the crowd just before 25 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,560 dawn around a kilometer or eleven hundred yards from an 26 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:57,079 AID site run by an Israeli backed foundation. Israel's military 27 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,239 denied its forces fired its civilians or within the site 28 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,400 in the southern city of Rafa. An Israeli military official, 29 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,520 speaking on condition of anonymity in line with procedure, said 30 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,439 troops fired warning shots at several suspects that were advancing 31 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:20,520 towards them overnight. The military also released drone footage that 32 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,919 it said was shot Sunday, apparently in daylight, in the 33 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,520 southern city of Conunis, showing what it said were armed 34 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:34,719 masked men firing against civilians trying to collect AID. I 35 00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:39,919 have seen the video. There's another video of this was 36 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,639 posted up by Neftali Bennett, the thirteenth Prime Minister of Israel. 37 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,840 He says, here is the proof. This is the specific 38 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,240 food distribution site at the precise time that Israeli tanks 39 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:56,719 supposedly shot them, because that was another one of the allegations. Oh, 40 00:02:56,759 --> 00:03:00,560 they opened fire with tanks, they dropped like seven nuclear 41 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,599 warheads on us. Yeah, there's footage though, they got cameras 42 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:08,520 set up all over the place. There there was nothing, 43 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,439 There was no shooting, There wasn't anything except people in 44 00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:21,120 line getting food. The military released drone footage, but the 45 00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:26,080 Associated press I love this, could not independently verify the video. 46 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:37,520 The AP never says that about anything that comes from Hamas. Oh, sorry, 47 00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:45,680 the health officials, the Gossen Health Ministry, that's Hamas, the beheaders, 48 00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:50,879 the rapists, the terrorists. Yeah, that that crowd. At least, 49 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:54,240 I will say small victories. At least. I'm not hearing 50 00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:57,560 the military wing anymore of Hamas, Like you don't hear 51 00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:02,520 that they because that that delineation was foisted upon us 52 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,840 for like twenty years. Anytime you ever had a story 53 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:12,520 about the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the PLO or the PLA 54 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,439 right or HAMAS, you would always get this this you know, 55 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,279 descriptor thrown in that. Oh you know, this is the 56 00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:23,360 Ministry of Health. It's the political wing of HAMAS. Or 57 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,160 if the terrorists did something, No, that's the military wing. 58 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:29,800 Of Hamas. Nobody else gets that kind of delineation, right, 59 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,240 only the Palestinians and their government government. So the AP 60 00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:38,839 could not independently verify the video, and it was not 61 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,959 clear who was being targeted. Quote, Hamas is doing everything 62 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:47,079 in its power to prevent the successful distribution of food 63 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,639 in Gaza, according to the statement from the Israelis. So 64 00:04:52,839 --> 00:05:00,160 note the standard verification for Israeli claims no verification for 65 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,439 Hamas claims the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation or the g HF. 66 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,040 And if you haven't heard of this, it's because it's 67 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,240 brand new. It's been in the works for a while. 68 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,000 And I've got some details about this about the GHF, 69 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,399 and I'm gonna get to that in a bit. But 70 00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:23,240 they put out a statement, and they released a separate 71 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,879 video that it said was shot Sunday at the site 72 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,399 that appears to show people collecting the aid. Once again, 73 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:34,959 here the AP was not able to verify the video. Again, 74 00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:36,879 I want to make it very clear, we could not 75 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,600 verify that this was that this was true. We got 76 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,040 we got dead Palestinians here. We have to we have 77 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,040 to take Gaza Health Ministry data face value for that, 78 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,720 because surely Hamas would not kill its own people, right, 79 00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:56,240 it would never do something. Oh, that's right, We do 80 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,319 have video of them doing that very thing. Throughout the 81 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,879 almost two years of this war, the foundation has denied 82 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,079 previous accounts of chaos and gunfire around its site, all 83 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,120 of its sites which are in Israeli military zones where 84 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,199 independent media has no access. So there's the ap with 85 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,560 its e won't let us in. It was the deadliest 86 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,759 incident yet around the new aid distribution system, which has 87 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,519 operated for less than a week. So here's a question. 88 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:32,879 You have this independent organization with the goal of taking 89 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,879 the food distribution system away from Hamas because that's how 90 00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:41,800 they control their people. And so if you get that 91 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,439 out of their hands, you actually get food to the 92 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,839 people and now they won't be starving to death, right, 93 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,160 which is what I thought everybody was super upset about 94 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:55,920 all this time. Right, So okay, now you got food. 95 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,839 Oh no, no, you can't do it that way. Okay. So 96 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:07,600 why would this organization set up this entire operation to 97 00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:11,240 get food and water and supplies to the Gosen people 98 00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:17,279 only to shoot them? What would be the point of that? 99 00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:23,519 Why would the IDF gun down civilians while protecting the 100 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:30,360 food Distribution Center now the International Committee of the Red Cross, 101 00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,560 and they've not been tainted at all in their years 102 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,879 of work with Hamas. They said in a statement that 103 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,839 It's Field Hospital in Rafa received one hundred and seventy 104 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920 nine casualties, including women and children, twenty one of them 105 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,759 declared dead upon arrival, the majority with gunshot or shrapnel wounds. 106 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,959 It was unclear if any of the dead were militants 107 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:59,720 or HAMAS fighters. Right, militants, So it's unclear if any 108 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:04,199 of the dead were HAMAS fighters. Why would that be unclear? 109 00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:08,759 You certainly have information about women and children and such. So, 110 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,279 oh did they not give you that information? Red Cross? 111 00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:14,319 Is that what happened? Like you don't actually have access 112 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,399 to the people to figure this out. Oh and if 113 00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:19,480 you do have the access and you do find out 114 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,399 that a bunch of HAMAS fighters got shot up and killed, 115 00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:26,879 is that information HAMAS would allow you to publish se 116 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:31,399 Because HAMAS doesn't differentiate when they give you their death 117 00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:34,480 counts and stuff, even if they're legit, even if they're 118 00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:37,159 accurate counts, which they are not. But even if they were, 119 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:43,000 they don't differentiate. They're all the same. They count civilians 120 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:49,200 as fighters and fighters as civilians. Multiple witnesses have said 121 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,679 Israeli troops fired on crowds near the Foundation sites. Okay, 122 00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:59,080 multiple witnesses Before Sunday, seventeen people were killed while trying 123 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,720 to reach them. According to Zaher al Wahiti, he is 124 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:08,960 the head of the Gaza Health Ministries records department, where 125 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,919 the only qualification needed is to make up large numbers. 126 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,639 The Foundation says private, so you're relying on hamas to 127 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,159 tell you about the witnesses. The Foundation says, private security 128 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,840 contractors guarding the sites have not fired on crowds. That's 129 00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:32,039 the GHF. They're like, we haven't fired on anybody. Israel's 130 00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:39,799 military has acknowledged firing warning shots on previous occasions, though, okay, 131 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,559 so warning shots, not like just mowing down crowds of 132 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,720 people waiting in line for food. Okay. The Foundation said 133 00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:51,799 in a statement that it distributed sixteen truckloads of aid 134 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,440 early Sunday, quote without incident, and dismissed what it described 135 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,639 as false reporting about deaths, mass injuries, and care. UN 136 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,440 agencies and major aid groups have refused to work with 137 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,440 the new system, saying it violates humanitarian principles. The UN 138 00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:14,399 will not help with the GHF. I'm sure there's a 139 00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,039 really good reason, all right. So spring is here a 140 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,960 time of renewal and celebrations. You've got graduations, weddings, anniversaries, 141 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,559 and the special days for mom and dad. Your family's 142 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,600 making memories that are going to last a lifetime. But 143 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,720 let me ask you, are all of those treasured moments 144 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,159 from days gone by? Are they hidden away on old 145 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,240 VCR tapes, eight millimeter films, photos slides? Are they preserved? 146 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,039 Because over time, these precious memories can fade and deteriorate, 147 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,879 losing the magic of yesterday.

Creative Video Preserving Family 155 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,240 Memories since nineteen ninety seven, located in mint Hill, just 156 00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:15,399 off four eighty five, mail orders are accepted to get 157 00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:19,200 all the details that create a video dot com. So 158 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,519 the Associated press reporting on the Hamas propaganda that the 159 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,039 IDF murdered a whole bunch of people after enticing them 160 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,799 baiting them with free food. And see, this is why 161 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,720 you shouldn't fall for the lies of the Israelis, the 162 00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:38,120 Jewish lies. They're going to give you free food. Huh No, 163 00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:42,240 they're trying to murder you. We should be the provider 164 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,279 of the food. We need to re implement all of 165 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,600 the humanitarian aid flows where we took control of it 166 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:51,320 all and then sold it to you for exorbitant pricing. 167 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,159 Israel in the US say that this new system, the 168 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:02,080 GHF is aimed at preventing Hamas from siphoning off assistance. 169 00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:08,080 Israel has not provided evidence of systematic diversion, and the 170 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,279 UN denies that it has occurred. So once again, Israel 171 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,120 says Hamas is in charge of the distribution in the 172 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:19,960 Gaza strip. But the AP I'm not so sure I 173 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,600 can believe that. Sorry, ISRAELI is just saying it. I 174 00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:28,000 don't trust them now. FAMAS says that they're handing it 175 00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:30,360 all out for free and they're running a stellar operation. Well, 176 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:35,080 I believe that, no need to verify that UN agencies 177 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,559 and major aid groups say the new system allows Israel 178 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,159 to control who receives aid and forces people to relocate 179 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,039 to distribution sites, risking yet more mass displacement in the 180 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,919 coastal territory. So what's the argument. The argument is that 181 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,240 you've only set up four distribution sites. You don't have 182 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,840 as widespread a network, and that's not humanitarian to make 183 00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:03,799 people come to your sites. Even though the GHF says, yeah, 184 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,480 we just rolled this out last week. We intend to 185 00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:10,039 have more sites, but we rolled it out and we're 186 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,080 going to be growing it over time. But no, no, no, 187 00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:17,440 we can't do that. See, this is you're trying to 188 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,120 displace people. It's all about the ulterior motives. We're on 189 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,639 to you Jews. That's what this is. The UN system 190 00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:30,320 has struggled to bring in aid after Israel slightly eased 191 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,559 it's nearly three month blockade of the territory last month. 192 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,440 The group says Israeli restrictions the breakdown of law and order, 193 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:44,279 and yeah, well the breakdown of law and order right 194 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,240 under the rule of Hamas. I mean, I guess that 195 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:52,240 is a kind of law and order, okay, But also 196 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,200 widespread looting has made it extremely difficult to deliver aid 197 00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:59,840 to Gaza's roughly two million Palestinians. I covered the story, 198 00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:04,080 I don't know months ago, six months ago, that Hamas 199 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,360 was looting all of the UN aid, But the UN 200 00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:12,039 can't say that, or they won't say that. They don't 201 00:14:12,039 --> 00:14:16,720 want to acknowledge that Hamas is packed with bad actors 202 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,559 because they control access, so if you speak ill of Hamas, 203 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,360 you don't get the access anymore. Experts have warned that 204 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:29,679 the territory is at risk of famine if more aid 205 00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:34,440 is not brought in. But we must control it. That's 206 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,039 what the UN is saying, is going to be mass famine. 207 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,200 We have to get aid in there. Oh but no, no, no, no, no, 208 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,000 not that, not that kind of aid. It's got to 209 00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:52,519 go through US and Hamas. The American contractors that are 210 00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:58,679 providing the security for the GHF at their distribution sites, right, 211 00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:03,679 they have said it's a lie that any of them 212 00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:09,919 or the Israelis opened fire on anybody. The video says 213 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,960 it's a lie. The Israeli say it's a lie. The 214 00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:15,360 GHF says it's a lie. Every news outlet, though, runs 215 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,159 with the lie, the goal of suggesting the distribution centers 216 00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:25,639 are dangerous, is advanced. That's the point. That's the point. 217 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,159 It's to make the people in Gaza believe that they 218 00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:32,799 will be mowed down if they are enticed to the 219 00:15:32,879 --> 00:15:37,559 distribution sites. Why would Hamas do that? Think about that? 220 00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:43,440 Why would Hamas try to dissuade its people from going 221 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:49,440 to get food rather than starve to death. They don't 222 00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:55,320 value the lives of their own people. It's leverage. The 223 00:15:55,399 --> 00:16:00,639 GHF is operating efficient, free and safe food distribution centers 224 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:04,720 are a bigger threat to Hamas than Israeli bombs ever were, 225 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,200 because they eat away at the heart of their support 226 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:10,399 among Gosins. So for all the people that are saying, oh, 227 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,240 you know, you drop a bomb, you kill one terrorist 228 00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:18,799 and then you create ten more. Right, so, you can't 229 00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:20,440 win a war like this. You just can't win a 230 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,639 war like this. Okay, Well how about this? How about 231 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,200 we dismantle the funding sources and the method of control 232 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,519 that Hamas uses over its people. How about that? Oh no, 233 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,080 you can't do that either. It's almost as if it's 234 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:38,519 almost just spitballing here. They don't want there to be 235 00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:42,919 anyway for Israel to win. That's what it kind of 236 00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:46,080 feels like, just set up all of these different kinds 237 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,080 of standards that nobody can comply with, and then ceasefire. 238 00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:53,679 Hamastes in power and by the way, hamas is. Their 239 00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:58,159 latest negotiation ploy was to say a ceasefire. They wanted 240 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,960 like seven years, a seven years ceasefire, and they would 241 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,720 only return half or a third I forget of the hostages. 242 00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,319 So they were going to keep a half of the 243 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:15,000 hostages for another seven years. That was what they offered. Yeah, 244 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:20,240 they they do not want an end. The only end 245 00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:24,440 they want is Israel dead, every Israeli dead. They want 246 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,039 all of the territory Israel cannot exist. That's it, that's 247 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:30,799 their aim. Believe them when they say it. Here's a 248 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,720 great idea. How about making an escape to a really 249 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:37,000 special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina.

Madeline Rowley over at 270 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,240 the Free Press. THEFP dot com is the website The 271 00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:56,160 Free Press. Write's a pretty lengthy story here about this 272 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,759 new aid group, the gas JEF, and she starts with 273 00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:05,480 a little bit of history I'm not going to go 274 00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:09,920 into all of it, but the United Nations Relief and 275 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,359 Works Agency UNROAH, which is a stupid acronym that should 276 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,039 never have been turned into a single word like I 277 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:23,079 just said, unwah unruhah stupid. Anyway, it has been the 278 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:29,839 primary source of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, 279 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,960 the West Bank and Gaza since its founding in nineteen 280 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,599 forty nine. The trouble with the UN serving as the 281 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,319 main source of aid, according to the Israelis and the US, 282 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,799 is Hamas. That's the problem. One of the most alarming 283 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,119 facts that emerged following October seventh was the involvement of 284 00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:59,720 UN workers, including school teachers, in the attack. At least 285 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,519 twelve UNWAH employees participated in the attack, including by kidnapping Israelis. 286 00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:11,000 According to the Wall Street Journal, some ten percent of 287 00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:17,039 Gaza's UNRWA workforce have ties to Hamas or other Islamist 288 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:24,559 militant groups. Hamas siphons aid meant for ordinary Gazans. The 289 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,000 terrorist group loots the distribution trucks carrying food and then 290 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,880 sells the stolen goods on the black market at inflated prices. 291 00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:37,160 HAMAS then pays its fighters with the money earned from 292 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:43,279 the black market. So this is why the creation of 293 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:50,680 an alternative food and aid distribution system is an existential 294 00:20:50,759 --> 00:20:55,559 threat to HAMAS. So they have to convince their own 295 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,759 people not to go there, and they threaten them, don't 296 00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:01,279 you do that. Don't you go take that Zionist or 297 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,319 the American's food. They probably poisoned it. I'm sure that 298 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,599 stuff is all making the rounds, right. They probably put 299 00:21:08,759 --> 00:21:10,920 you know, some things that we're not allowed to eat, 300 00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:13,960 like I guess pork products or something, right, Like they 301 00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:17,240 probably washed it all in pigs blood or something. Anything 302 00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:22,519 to keep them from going to these distribution sites. Looting 303 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,880 is not all that HAMAS does. According to a document 304 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,839 reviewed by The Free Press based on Israeli intelligence information, 305 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:36,480 HAMAS embeds operatives within the UN's supply chain to manage 306 00:21:36,519 --> 00:21:40,640 the flow of funds to the terrorist organization. According to 307 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,000 the same document, in twenty twenty four, a loon HAMAS 308 00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:50,440 intercepted five hundred million dollars worth of aid. This has 309 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:56,920 been an issue for years for years, but now it's 310 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,960 become critical. Stockpiles of humanitarian aid aid from the UN 311 00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:04,519 have run out after Israel blocked all aid from entering 312 00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:08,519 Gaza between March second and May nineteenth as a way 313 00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:13,839 to pressure Hamas into extending a ceasefire and releasing their hostages. 314 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,720 Because the situation got so bad, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation 315 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,039 enters the picture. This thing started as an idea in 316 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,319 late October twenty twenty three during a brainstorm session in 317 00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:35,599 Israel among a small group of prominent entrepreneurs and businessmen 318 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,400 from all over the world, who, according to one source 319 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,400 with detailed knowledge of the meeting, they understood the mechanisms 320 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,440 by which Hamas controlled the population in Gaza through humanitarian 321 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:51,880 aid distribution, and they also knew that Gazin's badly needed help, 322 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,640 so they said, let's build a different system. The Free 323 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,000 Press has confirmed reporting from The New York Times that 324 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,559 plans took in early spring twenty twenty four, when Israeli 325 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:08,880 American venture capitalist Michael Eisenberg and an Israeli tech investor, 326 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:14,440 Learn Tankman met with former CIA officer Philip Riley to 327 00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:19,000 discuss how to distribute aid in a new way. Riley, 328 00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:21,799 at this point has his own company, it's called Safe 329 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:29,519 Reach Solutions. He had previously worked in Gaza's Netsarim Corridor 330 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,079 checking Palestinian vehicles for weapons and explosives during a ceasefire 331 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,640 between Israel and Tomas. So he's familiar with the region 332 00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:45,160 and the people and the operations. Now, the GHF's funding 333 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:50,000 structure is unclear, according to this report, and critics say 334 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,880 that Israel is too involved, and by that they mean 335 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,799 involved at all, and that they're militarizing access to aid 336 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,240 through the foundation. A spokesperson from the foundation confirmed to 337 00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:06,920 the Free Press that one as yet unnamed Western European 338 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:13,119 country is a major donor. We don't know so Western 339 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,000 European country. Don't know what country it is, but they're 340 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,200 putting out a lot of money towards this. On Wednesday, 341 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,319 under the leadership of Philip Riley, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation 342 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:30,160 and its local Palestinian partners, alongside American security contractors from 343 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:35,440 Riley's Safe Reach Solutions, delivered an estimated fourteen five hundred 344 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,640 boxes of shelf stable food two gozzans of all ages 345 00:24:39,839 --> 00:24:44,200 and demographics. It gave out aid thirty pound boxes full 346 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,440 of pasta, rice, flour, cooking oil, canned goods at two 347 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,799 sites the organization refers to as Secure distribution sites, both 348 00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:58,119 of which are located in southern Gaza. Israeli troops are 349 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:04,279 stationed at a distance outside of the sites, but according 350 00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:10,880 to a Foundation spokesperson, Israel ANDVDF have no operational control 351 00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:17,880 over theghf's work or mission, and the organization remains neutral. 352 00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:24,200 Isn't this what people have been clamoring for? Right? All right? 353 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,039 If you're listening to this show, you know I try 354 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:27,799 to keep up with all sorts of current events, and 355 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,920 I know you do too, And you've probably heard me 356 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,200 say get your news from multiple sources. Why Well, because 357 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,880 it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've 358 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,240 been so impressed with ground News. It's an app, and 359 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,359 it's a website, and it combines news from around the 360 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,039 world in one place so you can compare coverage and 361 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,000 verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground, 362 00:25:50,319 --> 00:25:53,359 dot news slash Pete. I put the link in the 363 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,599 podcast description too. I started using ground News a few 364 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,319 months ago and more recently chose to work with them 365 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,119 as an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how 366 00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:05,680 stories get covered and by whom. The blind spot feature 367 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,400 shows you which stories get ignored by the left and 368 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,480 the right see for yourself.

A couple 374 00:26:29,559 --> 00:26:37,799 weeks into starting the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. In his role, 375 00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:41,880 this was a US marine veteran and entrepreneur named Jake Wood. 376 00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:48,440 He stepped down after just a couple weeks, and he 377 00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:51,039 said that he was leaving due to concerns over a 378 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:57,200 lack of impartiality and neutrality in distributing humanitarian aid. I 379 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,119 don't know what that means. He did not explain it, 380 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,400 but as you heard in the interview we did last 381 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,839 Hour with Ruthie Bloom, they are screening people out if 382 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,519 you are with Hamas, which I feel is legitimate right. 383 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,519 According to a senior Trump Administration official, Hamas had set 384 00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:23,160 up blockades to prevent gosins from entering the foundation's secure 385 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,759 distribution sites. Again, why are you trying to stop your 386 00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,920 own people from getting food so they don't starve to death? 387 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,920 Because they don't care about their own people. The more 388 00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:42,119 their own people suffer and die, the stronger Hamas perceives 389 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,680 itself to be because they can then capitalize on it. 390 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,640 The whole thing is propaganda, has been I've talked about 391 00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:55,039 Pallywood for twenty years. They've been doing this Pallwood. It's 392 00:27:55,079 --> 00:28:00,400 the fake movies they make. The whole thing is at 393 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,119 some of the people I've seen some of these videos 394 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,400 also that they are astounded that the food is free. 395 00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:13,039 The Gozzins who show up and get the food, they 396 00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:18,519 can't believe it's free. They're thanking Trump. They're like, thank you, 397 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,960 President Trump for giving us food. None of the foundation's 398 00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:26,759 success in providing over eight hundred and forty thousand meals 399 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:30,000 so far seems to translate on social media, though, where 400 00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:33,680 images of the aid handout were rapidly turned into memes 401 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:39,079 comparing Gozsins waiting for food to Jewish prisoners waiting at Auschwitz. 402 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,200 That's where I became aware of this. Over the weekend. 403 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:49,279 I started seeing these images of like lines of Jews 404 00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:53,519 to you know, being led to the gas chambers, and 405 00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:59,039 then the lines of the Gozsins getting free food, and like, oh, 406 00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:01,559 it looks a lot like Schwitz or something like, what 407 00:29:01,599 --> 00:29:04,119 are they even talking about? This doesn't make any sense. 408 00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:09,200 So that's what they use the images to do. They're 409 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,920 trying to undermine the effort. Hamas is trying to undermine 410 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,160 the effort. Leftists are attempting to undermine this effort because 411 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,960 the point is the destruction of Western society so they 412 00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:29,160 can usher in their, you know, communist utopia. Javiv retig 413 00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:33,519 Gur a senior analyst for the Times of Israel. He 414 00:29:33,599 --> 00:29:36,960 told The Free Press that the fact that Hamas is 415 00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:41,559 openly threatening gosens is a sign that the new Aid 416 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,599 group is making a difference. Quote why is Hamas threatening this? 417 00:29:46,279 --> 00:29:50,279 Because they're desperate and the strategy is working. They're desperate 418 00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:53,599 not to lose control of the AID. Right, no aid, 419 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,519 no money for your soldiers. In a statement from earlier 420 00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:05,720 this month, the United Nations denounced the GHF, calling it dangerous. 421 00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:10,920 It's dangerous to force gossins to enter militarized zones to 422 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:17,480 collect rations right that the IDF controls. That's the only 423 00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:21,000 way they can provide security and not have Hamas murder 424 00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:23,559 their own people while they're trying to get the free food. 425 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:31,279 They called it dangerous Stefane Dujarik, a spokesperson for the 426 00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:34,440 UN Secretary General, told reporters at a press conference that 427 00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:38,160 the UN will not work with the GHF. Quote, we 428 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,240 will not participate in operations that do not meet our 429 00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:47,920 humanitarian principles. Yeah. Hey, we've seen your humanitarian principles. I 430 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,240 mentioned the stats about all your UN workers that participated 431 00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:54,519 in October seventh, So yeah, I have a really good 432 00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:59,720 understanding of what you are okay with. Javiv Retigur told 433 00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:03,319 The Free Pressed that detaching Hamas from humanitarian aid is 434 00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:06,079 the right strategy, but the pressure is on to make 435 00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:09,400 sure it works. Quote. The Israelis need to understand that 436 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,480 there is now a fire burning under them. This aid 437 00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:15,880 distribution has to go well, and it has to go fast. 438 00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:18,480 The war depends on it. The lives of many people 439 00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:24,440 depend on it, and Israel's allies depend on it. There's 440 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,759 a writer named A. G. Hamilton. He says, this is 441 00:31:27,799 --> 00:31:30,319 why the UN has been so loudly attacking the new 442 00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:35,440 aid distribution system. It exposes their corruption and the system 443 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,119 they helped maintain that prioritizes the war strategies of Hamas 444 00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:45,240 over the well being of Gaza residents. There's video footage 445 00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:49,680 of hamas gunman shooting Palestinians at a different location near Kanunis. 446 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,079 There is video of the distribution site showing no shooting there. 447 00:31:53,319 --> 00:31:55,720 There were some casualties that showed up at a Nasser 448 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,480 hospital in Conunis. The IDF says there was no shooting 449 00:31:59,559 --> 00:32:02,559 incident or the distribution site. The GAJF, a group of 450 00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:05,640 American contractors responsible for the site. They say there was 451 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,000 no shooting incident, but what the media ran with is 452 00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:14,799 really tanks attack Palestinians. The lie that goes around the 453 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,519 world before the truth even gets out of bed, and 454 00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:21,599 the media is culpable. All right, that'll do it for 455 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,359 this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
