(JNS) — If it’s Tuesday, then it must be time for more cries of a fake famine in Gaza.
Gaza, as you know, has been starving to death now since Oct. 2023.
A year later, Gaza is notable for having some of the fattest starvation victims around.
The Biden administration, its congressional allies and the media have continued to lambast Israel for “blocking food” from entering Gaza despite undeniable evidence of a constant flow of food into Gaza.
But that only matters so much when the United Nations refuses to deliver it. Again.
Staggering images of waste and dishonesty: for the first time since the war began, TV cameras have been in Gaza to the holding area where aid is unloaded on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing. Almost 60,000 trucks have entered since the war started.
Why isn’t the food being delivered? Because the United Nations only wants Hamas to be able to deliver it.
The New York Times comes closest to admitting what’s going on in its latest article on the topic.
“The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said this month that it would no longer deliver aid through Kerem Shalom, the main border crossing between Israel and southern Gaza, because of the breakdown in law and order,” the Times reports.
“Hundreds of truckloads of relief are piling up at the crossing in part because aid groups fear they will be looted,” it explains.
Remember all the claims that UNRWA, which is filled top to bottom with terrorists, is the only thing standing between the Arab Muslim colony in Gaza and death?
UNRWA won’t even deliver food. Why not?
“The situation in Gaza deteriorated after the Israeli military invaded Rafah in May, seeking to oust Hamas from one of its final strongholds. Hamas’s security forces fled, and organized gangs—with no one stopping them—began intercepting aid trucks as they headed from the main border crossing into southern Gaza. They are stealing flour, oil and other commodities and selling them at astronomical prices, aid groups and residents say.
“The actual choice here is between the ‘armed gangs’ (many of whom consist of the same people as Hamas) taking the aid and reselling it at astronomical prices … or Hamas seizing the aid and reselling it at astronomical prices.”
And, unsurprisingly, the United Nations prefers that Hamas seize the aid.
A third option would be for Israel to provide security for food deliveries, but the United Nations rejects that.
“International aid workers have accused Israel of ignoring the problem and allowing looters to act with impunity.
“The United Nations does not allow Israeli soldiers to protect aid convoys, fearing that would compromise its neutrality, and its officials have called on Israel to allow the Gaza police, which are under Hamas’s authority, to secure their convoys.
“Israel, which seeks to uproot Hamas, accuses the group of stealing international aid and says that the police are just another arm of the militant group.”
The United Nations refuses to allow Israel to protect aid convoys. It wants only Hamas to protect them. Then it blames Israel when the convoys are raided because its goal is to preserve Hamas authority.
Read that again.
The United Nations is refusing to conduct food deliveries in order to manufacture a famine in Gaza with the aim of preserving Hamas.
