    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 13 11:43:24 2025
    The media is full of nonsense about Israel causing a famine in Gaza. The
    fact is that Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are virtually
    the only ones getting aid to the Gazans. The UN let aid rot in the sun
    outside of Gaza and only eventually started letting some of it through, whereupon Hamas looted it and SOLD it to their fellow Gazans. Meanwhile,
    the Israelis, with help from the Americans use the Gaza Foundation to
    get aid into Gaza and GIVE it to the Gazans.

    But Hamas' propaganda arm gets reported by most of our media and
    believed by our political elites; polls show that majorities of people
    surveyed are also fooled by the Hamas propaganda. Now we are on the
    verge of seeing Hamas rewarded for their terrorism by having their state recognized.

    This is beyond obscene. I only wish I knew how to stop this but it seems
    that anti-Semitism is back with a vengeance and everyone is choosing not
    to believe the Israelis when they tell the truth about what's going on.

    to give credit to one of the Good People, Chef Andre's World Food Kitchen
    has been helpful, too.

    They got pissed a year ago when some of its personnel were killed
    in an Israeli attack, but then got SUPER PISSED a couple of days
    ago when actual, no question about it, terrorists were driving
    around in a WCK marked vehicle...

    So you say, but others say the nonsense is coming from Israel. Which
    makes sense since we know Israel has blocked others from bringing in
    food. Take a look at this video for an alternative view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzw_Te1KAl0

    Apparently Spain did a similar air drop of food.

    Here is a video of a similar air drop by Jordan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrJ3pS0z96M

    Yes, it's primarily the Israelis who are blocking food distribution from
    Gaza. This information is coming from European press not just MSM from
    the US.

    Or is it the UN, which openly despises Israel, delaying food

    SELL it to their own people in exchange for money that they can use to

    I loved the bit near the end of the second video where the Gaza woman

    of whatever she had received. I guess she's not *quite* as hungry as
    they would have us believe.

    I've NEVER heard of people in famine-afflicted areas moaning that the
    food they got wasn't their first choice. That is the behaviour of people
    who have options.

    Russian and German soldiers fighting in Stalingrad often went hungry
    when their logistics chains couldn't deliver food. When that happened,
    they hunted for stray animals - mostly cats and dogs - and used them to supplement their diets. They wouldn't have complained about what food
    they could get, even if it wasn't their first choice.

    The victims of Stalin's collectivization campaign and Mao's "Great Leap Forward" were the same: they ate ANYTHING they could find that was
    remotely edible including weeds, tree bark, and eventually dirt. The dirt-eaters clogged their intestinal tracts and died.

    Also, note that the interview with the young mom was filmed on the
    ground and the journalist in the plane said that it was impossible for
    Western journalists to wander around Gaza freely to do reporting. That
    means the interview with the "hungry" woman was done by members of
    Hamas' propaganda wing. In other words, it conveyed just the picture
    that Hamas wanted to convey. It joins a number of other staged pictures
    that have come to light in recent days. Hamas is trying to win sympathy
    from soft-hearted Westerners and it seems to be working. I'll bet that
    woman was an enthusiastic supporter of Hamas and very possibly the wife
    of one of its (surviving) commanders.

    I say that because the BBC got into hot water for showing a documentary
    about life in Gaza from a child's perspective. It was only after it was
    aired that it was revealed that the focal child in the "documentary" had
    a Hamas commander as his father, making the film hopelessly biased.

    That's an absurd assumption. Pritein and fruit/vege would be optimal
    over the flour or whatever was in the drop. Sure straches can fill the
    belly, but nutritionally it's not ideal over long term

    So you say, but others say the nonsense is coming from Israel. Which
    makes sense since we know Israel has blocked others from bringing in
    food. Take a look at this video for an alternative view

    First-ever Gaza airdrop by Canada stuns Israel, calls blockade a
    violation of international law


    Apparently Spain did a similar air drop of food.

    Here is a video of a similar air drop by Jordan:

    Yes, it's primarily the Israelis who are blocking food distribution
    from Gaza. This information is coming from European press not just MSM
    from the US.

    Or is it the UN, which openly despises Israel, delaying food

    No, because it's not just the UN in charge of getting food to Gaza.

    distribution to make Israel look bad? And then tipping off Hamas when
    they do let food in so that they can easily loot the aid shipment, then
    SELL it to their own people in exchange for money that they can use to
    buy more arms?

    Meanwhile,
    the Israelis, with help from the Americans use the Gaza Foundation to
    get aid into Gaza and GIVE it to the Gazans.

    I loved the bit near the end of the second video where the Gaza woman
    said the food she got (presumably from the air drop) wasn't the food
    she wanted. The voiceover said she demanded protein, eggs and fruit
    instead of whatever she had received. I guess she's not *quite* as
    hungry as they would have us believe.

    That's an absurd assumption. Pritein and fruit/vege would be optimal
    over the flour or whatever was in the drop. Sure straches can fill the
    belly, but nutritionally it's not ideal over long term

    Again, I don't buy it. If she or her kids really ARE hungry, they'd be
    glad for everything they got. They could still dream of other things but
    their first priority would be staying alive so that they'd have the
    chance to eat better when the war ended.
