Much of US Aid Meant for Gaza Being Stolen - Is Anyone Really Shocked?​

By Becky Noble | 3:45 PM on May 22, 2024

If there is one fact that constantly escapes Democrats and the left, it is that people in other countries, from different cultures, don't think the same twisted way they do. For Democrats, it is all kittens and sunshine, Kumbaya, and can't we all just get along? You might think that the horrors of the Israel-Hamas war would burst that bubble, but it seems that has not happened. When Joe Biden has not been busy throwing Israel under the bus, he has ordered millions of American taxpayer dollars in aid to Gaza. But are women and children in Gaza seeing any of that aid? If you guessed no, you would be right.

On Tuesday, Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder stated that none of the 569 tons sent in just the last week for Palestinians in Gaza has actually reached them; it has all been stolen. Ryder explained that the way the aid distribution is set up is that the U.S. military delivers it via the floating pier that was built by the military. From there, non-US contractors transport it to an assembly area where various NGOs take it for distribution. Well, what looks good on paper doesn't always happen, especially in the Middle East. Aid is also being transported to distribution warehouses around Gaza.

Recently, of 16 trucks bringing food and medicine en route to one of the warehouses in Gaza, only five made it to the warehouse intact; supplies from the other 11 were stolen as the trucks traveled through an area that has not seen much aid. One U.N. official said, "They've not seen trucks for a while. They just basically mounted on the trucks and helped themselves to some of the food parcels."

But in typical fashion, if the world can find something to blame Israel for, they will do it. The U.N. World Food Program stated that Joe Biden's $320 million Pier designed for humanitarian aid to Gaza is in jeopardy if Israel does not ensure the safety of trucks transporting the aid. But what the U.N. or anyone else is not talking about is the fact that it is more than likely Hamas terrorists are stealing the aid and have been doing it for quite a while. There have even been reports that U.N. employees steal it and resell it.

Another Biden foreign policy boondoggle.

Providing aid to those in need is not a bad policy. Getting aid to people in need during war is difficult, especially when reliable partners pull out because their workers are bombed and killed.

The bodies of three female soldiers of the Israeli Genocide Force were returned to Israel by Hamas today.

They were captured in Israel on Hamas invasion of Israel on 10/7 and being housed in a "safe house" near the Israeli border in Gaza. Israeli jets dropped bombs as part of their systematic leveling of Gaza in the very first days of the war, killing their own soldiers.

Israel remains insistent on calling all female soldier POWs "hostages" in a sad attempt to garner sympathy.

Top UN court calls for immediate halt to Israeli operation in Rafah​

Beyond ordering a halt of military activities, the court said Israel must allow in U.N. fact-finding missions and report back within a month as to how it is complying with the order. Israel is unlikely to comply.

So now you’re resorting to straight up lying???



https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna153869

From the article:

“Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez were killed on Oct. 7 at the Mefalsim Intersection and their bodies were taken into Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement Friday morning, citing intelligence.”



Also:

Terrorists can’t take prisoners of war, so…

My bad. Got the bodies confused with these female POWs. Videos ran on the same day. Fog of war.

Also, Israel routinely confers the title of "terrorist" of anyone who disagrees with them. That's not how words work.

Israel faces unprecedented challenges as legal and diplomatic pressure mounts​

Seven months after Hamas attacked Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages, Israel’s retaliatory war has failed to achieve its goals. Top Hamas leaders remain at large and 125 hostages remain captive in the enclave. Gaza is now in ruins and more than 35,000 Palestinians have died during Israel’s onslaught.

Pressure on Israel to end the war is mounting from all sides: US college campuses, international courts, American celebrities, Israel’s Western allies, and even the families of the Israeli hostages.

But the most significant of those may be the legal and diplomatic action taken against Israel this month.

Israeli officials are scrambling to contain the fallout. They have accused critics of antisemitism and vowed not to relent in the face of international pressure. “Even if Israel is forced to stand alone, we will stand alone, and we will continue to strike our enemies powerfully until victory,” Netanyahu declared in a fiery speech at the opening ceremony of Holocaust Remembrance Day this month.

Faced with rising international backlash, Israel once again plays the increasingly tone-deaf "antisemitism" card.

They bluster about going it alone, but without Uncle Sam standing by to bail them out, they will be annihilated.

video interview with doc re the rubble and wreckage of Paletinian hospitals

American surgeon Dr. Samer Attar joins Chris Hayes after spending two weeks volunteering at hospitals in Gaza—including at Al-Awda Hospital in Northern Gaza. “It's just an apocalyptic landscape of rubble, and hunger, homelessness, bombardment,” says Attar.

Everyday we were doing amputations, everyday people were turning up starving to death. We'd see moms and dads and their kids...they hadn't had food or water for days. And at that point when they come in the damage is irreversible.

speaking about a 20-year-old girl brought in by family who hadn't had food or water for days, people literally starving to death (what, there's no famine, right?) and how all a doctor can do is give fluids and be there for the family because the patients are unresponsive and die. "And that's pretty much it. That's medicine in North Gaza."

"Various NGOs" is a type of term that does a lotta work for your bargain-basement filter-feeder prevaricator.

There is effectively no aid distribution infrastructure left--that was UNRWA. What remains of that org in Gaza is a (literal) skeleton crew, and a favored target of IOF snipers and drone pilots.

Israeli defense minister: “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip...No electricity, no food, no fuel. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

In other words, the population of Gaza is being starved to death. Deliberately.

Pretty immoral, if it was animals. Would we stand for this if it was puppies? pandas? ostriches? Human animals are another story I suppose.

Author has quibbles. Desperately needed aid is taken by desperate starving people before the trucks have reached the officially designated starvation cessation distribution depot. Author calls this "stealing." Yet another moral failing of the human animals-in-rags. (Anyways, how can you watch your whole family violently die and still have an appetite? Trés gauche, right?)

Crimes against humanity tho.....?

Last I heard their bodies were months old and probably killed on Oct.7.

That ^ is what happens when someone posts a comment based on a headline from a biased and unreliable source after obviously FAILING to read the whole article.



The “pier” did NOT “detach” and get grounded on the beach.



Some sort of support craft for offloading supplies broke loose while being towed by a tugboat and wound up grounded on the beach.



No big deal.

Hope that ^ helps

reactions to the ICJ's ruling


REED BRODY, WAR CRIMES PROSECUTOR:

"The ICJ has stepped up to the plate with an historic decision that responds to the escalating gravity of the situation in Gaza. The court has crossed a threshold, for the first time, by ordering Israel to halt specific military operations as well as to open the Rafah crossing and other crossings and allow access to international fact-finding missions.

"This legally binding and very specific ruling leaves Israel with very little wiggle room. Together with the ICC prosecutor’s request for indictments of Prime Minister Netanyahu and other top Israeli and Hamas officials, these actions are a 1-2 legal punch to the conduct of Israel’s war in Gaza."

WAR CABINET MINISTER BENNY GANTZ:

"The State of Israel set out on a just and necessary campaign following the brutal massacre of its citizens, abhorrent sexual violence perpetrated against its women, kidnapping of its children and rockets fired at its cities. The State of Israel is committed to continue fighting to return its hostages and promise the security of its citizens - wherever and whenever necessary - including in Rafah.

"We will continue operating in accordance with international law wherever we might operate, while safeguarding to the best extent possible the civilian population. Not because of the ICJ, but because of who we are and the values we stand for."
