05/28 Links Pt1: U.S.-Led Gaza Aid Efforts Are About Much More Than Food; Israel confirms technological breakthrough in laser defence; Britain Is Funding Hamas | Here’s the Proof

From Ian:

Seth Mandel: U.S.-Led Gaza Aid Efforts Are About Much More Than Food
The concerted effort to undermine the new U.S.-administered Gaza aid program should force us to reconsider the funding and cooperation the U.S. gives to the wider United Nations “humanitarian” network. In that sense, yesterday’s launch of this new system, sans UN and celebrity chefs, made clear who does and does not actually want to see this problem solved.

And what we learned was this: The UN’s self-declared guiding “principles” require it not only to let Gazans starve but to actively abet their starvation.

The key principle at issue is one of so-called neutrality. The controversy heated up when the U.S. and Israel sought ways to deliver humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians without enabling Hamas to commandeer that aid. The UN claimed this plan violated the required neutrality from humanitarian groups because it was not neutral between parties in the conflict (i.e. it was biased against Hamas). Yet the UN routinely employs members of Hamas, and therefore no UN-connected agency is neutral either. The lesson is that the UN does not favor neutrality at all. It favors Hamas.

This is the reason a new aid-delivery mechanism was sought in the first place. Both Israel and the United States insist on distinguishing between Gazan civilians and Hamas (and other armed terror groups). Existing “humanitarian” groups refuse to do so and thus organized a boycott and a media-demonization campaign against anyone considering joining an aid effort that excluded Hamas. This campaign further delayed the establishment of a new aid mechanism and delayed the delivery of food and medicine to Gazans.

That new aid distribution began yesterday, led by an organization called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The results bode well for this particular model of aid delivery.

The lead-up to the GHF’s launch was fraught and threatened to derail the project entirely. A New York Times story that damaged the organization and resulted in the resignation of its leader just days before its launch painted its backstory in as sinister a light as possible. The piece began by warning of the project’s “obscure histories and unknown financial backers.” In an attempt to discredit the project as irredeemably biased, the Times describes it as “an Israeli brainchild.”

Yet even the Times’ own reporting makes it out to be the product of a working brain, at the least: “The plan was designed to undermine Hamas’s control of Gaza, prevent food from falling into militants’ hands or the black market, and bypass the United Nations, which Israeli officials do not trust and have accused of anti-Israeli bias. Israeli officials argued, too, that their plan would move distribution out of chaotic and lawless areas into zones under Israeli military control.”
Israel’s U.S. Ambassador Is Punished for Defending His Government
One might think that an ambassador would be expected to defend his own homeland’s elected leaders against vicious accusations during a media appearance in the country where he serves. In Israel, it seems that he is expected not to. This is what Yechiel Leiter, Jerusalem’s envoy to Washington, discovered after he was interviewed by the American podcaster Marissa Streit. Ruthie Blum writes:

The Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday that its director general, Eden Bar Tal, was summoning . . . Leiter for a hearing, in accordance with “the directive of the senior director of the disciplinary division at the Civil Service Commission.” . . . Leiter committed what the Foreign Ministry considers a diplomatic faux pas.

This consisted of his spending six out of the 66-minute tête-à-tête defending Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against demonization. . . . Perhaps he should have known better than to delve into internal Israeli issues. Maybe he should have answered Streit’s query with a boilerplate statement about the country’s healthy, robust debates and left it at that.

But it’s hard not to scoff at the double standard applied to any government appointee whose views don’t jibe with the anti-Netanyahu line. Indeed, Leiter’s real “blooper” was revealing his loyalty to Bibi—and by telling the truth.
Foreign Secretary accused of wrongly translating Netanyahu comments to Parliament
The Foreign Secretary has been condemned by the Conservatives for “mislead[ing] Parliament”, after he was accused of misquoting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments on food aid to Gaza.

Speaking to a crowded House of Commons chamber last week, Lammy described the IDF’s new offensive in Gaza, stating: “Prime Minister Netanyahu says that they are going to take control of the Strip, letting only minimal amounts of food reach Gazans. Madam Deputy Speaker, I quote Mr Netanyahu – he says ‘just enough to prevent hunger’”.

However, the original video of Netanyahu speaking shows the Israeli Prime Minister saying something different, numerous native Hebrew speakers have told the Jewish News. They say that in the video Netanyahu describes how, until a new aid distribution system to bypass Hamas has been established, the current UN system would be used, stating that “we need to give some minimum, basic support so that there will be no hunger” – and they say that there is no ambiguity in Netanyahu’s remarks.

Eylon Levy, a former Israeli Government spokesperson, alleged that the “made-up quote” used by the Foreign Secretary had originated from “a BBC story which quotes a video from Netanyahu, explaining to his domestic audience why Israel was letting aid into Gaza again. So naturally, I went to the video…

“In a video, Netanyahu explained Israel was setting up a new aid distribution system to bypass Hamas, which is hijacking aid to fund its war. This will take time. So Israel will let in aid through the current mechanism ‘so that there will not be hunger’.

“Netanyahu never said Israel would let in ‘just enough [food] to prevent hunger.’ But David Lammy used that made-up quote to convince MPs to support his hostile foreign policy against Israel, which Hamas has praised.

“Lammy misled his fellow MPs. He misled Parliament.”

Levy continued by suggesting that perhaps “Lammy’s aides nicked the mistranslation from the BBC, instead of doing the professional thing and asking the British Embassy in Israel for a precise translation of Netanyahu’s remarks.”


John Spencer: The Israeli Raid on Syria That Exposed the Weakness of Hardened Targets
On September 8, 2024, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) executed one of the most daring and complex operations in its history: a deep-penetration commando raid into Syria targeting an underground missile-production facility near Masyaf, codenamed Deep Layer. The site had been constructed by Iran to supply precision-guided missiles to Hizballah and other Iranian proxies—posing a strategic threat Israel could not ignore. Buried more than 400 feet underground, it was close to reaching the capacity to produce missiles with ranges up to 300 kilometers, capable of striking major Israeli cities and military installations.

This was much more than simply a tactical raid—it was a doctrinal inflection point. It challenged assumptions about Israel’s strategic posture, redefined the limits of special operations in the region, and signaled a new era in how states counter adversaries operating from hardened spaces on enemy territory. By executing this mission, Israel changed its playbook, shifting from a largely reactive posture—focused on retaliatory airstrikes and the maintenance of deterrence by aggressive responses to attacks—to a proactive doctrine of deep penetration, operational surprise, and joint-force synchronization, aimed at denying the enemy the ability to attack in the first place. Put differently, it was perhaps a return from the doctrines of the past three decades to something more akin to the IDF’s original approach to warfighting.

While global attention has largely fixated on Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, the IDF has been simultaneously waging a multi-front campaign of historic proportions. Over the past many years, Iran had developed a network of proxy forces with striking capabilities against Israel. In the days following the October 7 attacks and the outbreak of war, those proxies began to launch rockets and drones into Israeli territory. The best-known events of this campaign took place on the Lebanese front, where, in a matter of weeks, Israel dismantled much of Hizballah’s military-political leadership through precision strikes, exposed and disrupted its command-and-control networks with the now-famous booby-trapped pagers and walkie-talkies, and destroyed the crown jewel of the group’s arsenal: its vast rocket stockpiles, long believed untouchable.

Against this backdrop of encirclement by Iran’s proxies, the Masyaf missile complex—a deeply buried, Iranian-built site designed to produce hundreds of advanced missiles annually for Hizballah—represented an intolerable strategic threat. Its location in Syria, far from Israel’s borders but directly tied to Hizballah’s arsenal in Lebanon, underscored the transnational nature of Iran’s proxy-warfare strategy, and its underground construction is emblematic of Iran’s strategic response to Israeli air dominance. Traditional airstrikes alone are insufficient to neutralize this kind of fortified and subterranean facility, designed to counter the well-developed air superiority of Israel and other Western-allied forces. What followed was an operation that met both aspects of the Iranian threat, and will be studied for years in both military and strategic terms.

The raid—codenamed Operation Many Ways—was executed by approximately 120 commandos from the Israeli air force’s elite Shaldag unit, supported by Unit 669, the IDF’s combat search-and-rescue force. Four Sikorsky CH-53 helicopters carried the assault force low over the Mediterranean to evade radar detection, bringing them more than 200 kilometers into Syrian territory. Because of the extended range, the helicopters were refueled mid-air, a logistical feat that added further complexity and risk.
Ruthie Blum: ‘New York Times’ nothingburger about Trump and Netanyahu
The New York Times seems to think that multiple bylines make for a more credible story. Well, we’ve got “news” for the Gray Lady: Using several authors to craft a piece merely adds to its length.

Perhaps the practice serves to pull the wool over the eyes of readers who tend to skim, rather than scour. In the apt words of Abraham Lincoln, “You can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Certainly not when it comes to coverage of the Jewish state and its relations with the United States. And that’s despite—or perhaps due to—having Israeli Pulitzer Prize-winner Ronen Bergman as a beard.

The latest example of a Times nothingburger, disguised as an in-depth revelation, is a March 28 article titled: “As Trump Seeks Iran Deal, Israel Again Raises Possible Strikes on Nuclear Sites.” The headline sounds reasonable—albeit ho-hum, since everyone already knows that Washington is in negotiations with the Islamic Republic and that Jerusalem is weighing military action, with or without American assistance.

The trouble is what follows—slanted speculation based on anonymous sources. Though this journalistic malpractice is par for many media outlets competing for clicks, the Times pretends to have the kind of access to inside dope that renders the need for facts null.

The write-up in question is illustrative. “As the Trump administration tries to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has been threatening to upend the talks by striking Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facilities, according to officials briefed on the situation,” it begins.

It continues, “The clash over how best to ensure that Iran cannot produce a nuclear weapon has led to at least one tense phone call between President Trump and Mr. Netanyahu and a flurry of meetings in recent days between top administration officials and senior Israeli officials.”

So, “officials briefed on the situation” claim that Netanyahu “has been threatening to upend the talks.” Threatening. Hmm. What the Times lacks in verifiable leaks, it makes up for with poetic license.

And then there’s the almost comical ambiguity about an ostensible “clash” leading to “at least one tense phone call” between Trump and Netanyahu. At least one? This is the most accurate number that four authors could glean from their high-level contacts?

As for the “flurry of meetings” between administration and Israeli officials, it’s no secret that such gatherings have been taking place. Indeed, they’ve been reported on and repeatedly acknowledged by both governments. Having the war in Gaza, the hostage crisis and Tehran’s nuclear designs on the agenda will do that.

That’s it for the first two paragraphs of the piece. The rest is a regurgitation of earlier reportage and statements made by Trump on camera, such as his saying on Sunday that he would “love to see no bombs dropped on Iran.”
Trump confirms he told Netanyahu not to strike Iran last week
President Donald Trump confirmed reports that he warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call last week not to proceed with plans to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities while the U.S. and Iran continue negotiations, saying that he told the Israeli leader a strike “is not appropriate right now.”

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, the president responded to a question about the validity of the report by saying, “I’d like to be honest. Yes, I did.”

Pressed about the nature of the conversation, the president clarified, “It’s not a warning, I said I don’t think it’s appropriate. We’re having very good discussions with them [Iran] and I don’t think it’s appropriate right now.”

Trump suggested the U.S. may strike a “very strong document” with Iran “where we can go in with inspectors, we can take whatever we want, we can blow up whatever we want but nobody’s getting killed. We can blow up a lab but nobody’s going to be in the lab, as opposed to everybody being in the lab and blowing it up, right? Two ways of doing it.”

He affirmed he told Netanyahu to hold off “because we’re very close to a solution. Now, that could change at any moment. It could change with a phone call. But right now I think they want to make a deal and if we can make a deal, save a lot of lives.”

He said a deal with Iran could be reached “over the next couple of weeks.”

Netanyahu, for his part, denied a New York Times report that he had been pressing for military action against Iran, which could upend the talks, calling it “fake news.”


Witkoff says US to issue new Gaza terms, has ‘very good feelings’ on reaching hostage deal
US special envoy to the Mideast Steve Witkoff said Wednesday that he has “very good feelings” about the chances for reaching a temporary ceasefire and hostage deal that could lead to a long-term resolution to the conflict in Gaza.

“We’re on the precipice of sending out a new term sheet that hopefully will be delivered later today,” Witkoff told reporters in the Oval Office. “The president is going to review it.”

“I have some very good feelings about getting to… a temporary ceasefire and a long-term, peaceful resolution of that conflict,” Witkoff said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Hamas said it had reached an agreement with Witkoff on a “general framework” for a ceasefire deal and now awaited a “final response.”

The group claimed that the framework it had approved would secure a “permanent ceasefire,” the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the flow of humanitarian aid, and a committee of independent Palestinian technocrats assuming governing control over the Strip instead of Hamas.

The deal would see the release of 10 living Israeli hostages along with an unspecified number of bodies of slain hostages in exchange for “an agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners, who are guaranteed by the mediators,” it said.

An unnamed Israeli official quickly dismissed Hamas’s claim of an agreement with the US, calling the statement “psychological warfare” and “propaganda.”


ICC prosecutor sought Ben-Gvir, Smotrich arrest warrants—report
International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan was pursuing arrest warrants for two Israeli cabinet ministers—Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir—prior to going on leave this month, according to a report on Wednesday.

Citing unnamed officials, The Wall Street Journal reported that Khan was targeting the two ministers over their roles in advancing the expansion of Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria.

Ben-Gvir responded defiantly to the report.

“No arrest warrant of any kind will deter me from continuing to work for the people of Israel and the Land of Israel,” Ben-Gvir wrote on X. “When The Hague is against me, I know I am on the right path.”

Khan is currently under external investigation over allegations of sexual assault. He took leave from his position on May 16. According to reports, at least one former employee has accused him of making unwanted sexual advances, claiming he later urged her to stay silent so he could proceed with actions against Israeli officials. Khan has denied any sexual misconduct.

While the ICC declined to comment on the report with regard to Ben-Gvir or Smotrich, it told the newspaper that it had a mandate to investigate alleged crimes committed in what it refers to as the “Palestinian territories,” based on the Palestinian Authority’s 2014 acceptance of the court’s jurisdiction. Israel disputes this claim, arguing that the P.A. is not a universally recognized sovereign state and therefore lacks the legal standing to grant such jurisdiction.

Khan is already under U.S. sanctions, which the ICC claims have impeded its operations. The Trump administration had considered imposing additional sanctions, which could have significantly affected the court by severing its access to the U.S. financial system.

The cases targeting Smotrich and Ben-Gvir were reportedly intended to complement the arrest warrants issued by the court in November against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-defense minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes related to the conflict in Gaza.


Netanyahu: Mohammed Sinwar is dead
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Wednesday that Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas’s top terrorist leader in the Gaza Strip, was eliminated in a May 13 airstrike on a tunnel in the Khan Yunis area.

“We took out Deif, Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Sinwar,” the prime minister said during a so-called 40-signature debate, which the opposition can call once a month and which Netanyahu is obliged to attend.

“Throughout Israel’s wars, there have never been so many achievements on so many fronts,” Netanyahu said. “We changed the face of the Middle East and established Israel’s status as a regional power.”

On May 18, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz told lawmakers of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that “all indications” were that the Israeli Air Force killed Mohammed Sinwar on May 13.

Multiple IAF jets were involved in the strike on the base under the European Hospital in Al-Fukhari, a town in the Khan Yunis Governorate, which employed bunker-busting munitions to penetrate the tunnel.

Israeli sources told reporters earlier this month that the site housed dozens of high-ranking terrorists and was being used to coordinate.

Sinwar was a senior Hamas commander and brother of Yahya Sinwar, the slain leader of the terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, who was eliminated by Israeli ground forces on Oct. 16. Following his brother’s death, Mohammed Sinwar served as the group’s top “military” leader.


UN relief coordinator doubles down on claim, even after global body corrects it
Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, corrected the record on May 20 after Tom Fletcher, the U.N. under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, told the BBC that, without aid, 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in the next 48 hours. Fletcher doubled down on the claim in a CNN interview on May 22, which also aired over the weekend.

“We are pointing to the imperative of getting supplies in to save an estimated 14,000 babies suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Gaza, as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification partnership has warned about,” Laerke told the BBC. “We need to get the supplies in as soon as possible, ideally within the next 48 hours.”

The British broadcaster reported that “in some analysis released earlier this month, the IPC estimated that nearly 71,000 children under the age of five are expected to be ‘acutely malnourished’ over the next 11 months, of which ‘14,100 cases are expected to be severe.’”

National media outlets picked up Fletcher’s claim, which was cited in parliamentary debates in the United Kingdom and global diplomatic discussions.

After initially posting “Around 14,000 babies could die in the next 48 hours if many more aid trucks do not reach Gaza, the U.N.’s humanitarian chief says,” NBC News deleted the post. “This story has been updated to reflect that the United Nations now says 14,000 babies face severe malnutrition if a lot more aid trucks don’t reach Gaza soon,” it stated. “U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher had said earlier that 14,000 babies could die in the next 48 hours if more aid wasn’t delivered.”

“A U.N. official lied to the world about 14,000 babies going to die in 48 hours in Gaza. This lie spread like wildfire despite being immediately debunked. It was recklessly pushed by numerous mainstream media channels, posted by major influencers like Glennon Doyle, repeated by 13 MPs in the British Parliament,” wrote John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, which is part of the U.S. Military Academy, in New York.

“There should be naming and accountability for the United Nations and the pushers of misinformation,” Spencer added. “The lie was even pushed in a news conference by the neighbor of the killer of two Israeli embassy staff members this week. Words have consequences.”


Israel confirms technological breakthrough in laser defence
Israel has announced that it successfully used a laser-defence system to intercept Hezbollah drones, in what is believed to be the first time high powered lasers have been used in such a fashion during any conflict.

According to a joint statement today from the Israeli Ministry of Defence, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) and the Rafael defence technology company, the three organisations, alongside Israel’s Directorate of Defence Research & Development, “executed an accelerated development program to deploy revolutionary interception systems.

“As a result of this initiative, soldiers from the IAF Aerial Defence Array operated high-power laser system prototypes in the field, successfully intercepting scores of enemy threats.”

It is understood that the system in question, a scaled down version of the long-planned “Magen Or” system, began to successfully intercept Hezbollah drones in late October, prior to a ceasefire a month later. Magen Or, a project first announced by Rafael in 2014, is due to come into full operation later this year alongside the current Iron Dome system. The new system is believed to focus on short-range rockets, artillery and mortars, as well as drones, while Iron Dome will continue to target longer-range threats.

One of the most significant advantages of Magen Or is believed to be cost per-interception. The Iron Dome anti-missile system currently costs approximately £37,000 per time it is used. Magen Or, it is understood, could cost as little as £2 per interception.

Dr Daniel Gold, a former Brigadier General who previously spearheaded the creation of Iron Dome and now heads the Directorate of Defence Research & Development, said: “The State of Israel is the first in the world to demonstrate large-scale operational laser interception capabilities… Our vision for deploying laser weapons was realized during the war with tremendous technological and operational success.”

He went on to describe how “Laser interception systems will provide an additional layer within Israel’s multi-tiered air defence array… We will continue to advance this technology and deliver world-leading systems and capabilities to the IDF, turning vision into security in air, sea, land, and across every dimension.”


Israeli Air Force destroys final Houthi aircraft in Sana’a
The Israeli Air Force struck Sana’a International Airport on Wednesday, destroying the last operational aircraft used by the Houthi terrorist organization, according to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.

“This is a clear message and a direct continuation of the policy we established: Whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay a heavy price,” Katz stated following the strike.

The attack follows an Israeli operation on May 6 that eliminated other aircraft at the same site.

Katz emphasized that Israeli forces will continue to target strategic Houthi assets. “The ports in Yemen will continue to be struck heavily, and the airport in Sana’a will be destroyed again and again,” he said. “The Houthi terror organization will be under naval and aerial blockade, as we committed and warned. Whoever harms us will be harmed sevenfold.”

The Israeli military confirmed details of the operation, stating: “The IDF recently attacked the central airport in Sana’a and an aircraft belonging to the Houthi terrorist organization. The aircraft that were attacked were used by the Houthi terrorist regime to transport terrorists who were promoting terrorist acts against the State of Israel.”


IDF medics treat 500 Druze in southern Syria
The Israel Defense Forces treated more than 500 Syrian civilians this month at a newly established medical facility in southern Syria, the military revealed on Wednesday.

The mobile triage center, set up in early May near the village of Hader, is primarily aimed at providing medical care and humanitarian support to the local Druze population.

Some of the civilians who sought care at the IDF medical facility were evacuated to hospitals inside Israel for further treatment, the military said.

Israel maintains a presence in southern Syria “with the goal of maintaining the security of the residents of the Golan Heights and creating a forward security zone, alongside providing assistance to the local population,” the statement added.

The medical facility is part of a broader humanitarian and security initiative aimed at supporting Syria’s embattled Druze community.


UKLFI: Debate on genocide Natasha Hausdorff & Christian Vigilius v Annette Rimmer & Trine Mach
Natasha Hausdorff (UKLFI Charitable Trust Legal Director) and Christian Holst Vigilius (prospective parliamentary candidate for Denmark's Conservative People's Party) debate the allegation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza with Annette Stubkjær Rimmer (Amnesty International Policy Adviser) and Trine Pertou Mach (MP for the Danish Red-Green Alliance) in Copenhagen on 26 May 2025.

She is a ‎graduate of Oxford University and has researched international security at Columbia University. She is ‎often used as an expert on CNN, BBC, Fox and Sky News; has written for the major ‎British media outlets; and today she is a guest on Denmark's Borgelig Tabloid.

In this episode, ‎hosted by Joachim B. Olsen, debate editor at B.T., we review some of the accusations that are being made against Israel in connection with ‎Israel's war against Hamas. ‎


How Hamas spreads its lies (and why Western media falls for it) w/Tom Gross
They have risen! No, you aren’t losing your mind if you recognize the same Gazans in multiple viral videos or if you’ve seen toes moving on a corpse in Khan Younis. But how is it that Palestinians so successfully manipulate the media when Jews are the supposed masters of show business? And why do so many in the West play along?

In this episode, former senior official at the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, Danny Seaman breaks down the mechanics of anti-Israel media bias and the global disinformation war waged against the Jewish state.

Joined by veteran journalist and Middle East analyst Tom Gross, Danny exposes how terrorist organizations like Hamas have long exploited media optics—staging false footage, recycling images of victims, and using “journalists” as human shields—to drive a false narrative that demonizes Israel and protects their own brutal tactics.

Together, they explore:
– How staged Gaza content goes viral as fact
– Why international media refuses to scrutinize terror-linked sources
– What anti-Zionist rhetoric reveals about modern antisemitism
– The failure of journalists to question official Palestinian claims
– How propaganda fuels real-world violence against Jews

Seaman and Gross also look back at 20+ years of media bias, sharing firsthand experiences with Western outlets, global institutions and the deeper ideological underpinnings that distort coverage of the Middle East.

Britain Is Funding Hamas | Here’s the Proof
British taxpayers are funding Hamas. That’s the bombshell revelation exposed in this week’s episode with legal expert Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor. We dive deep into:
The UK’s role in Gaza’s cash aid system and how Hamas controls who gets paid
How “humanitarian” agencies like UNICEF and UNRWA became laundering mechanisms for a jihadist regime
The willful blindness of international aid organizations and why they’re terrified of transparency
How the West's cash pipeline empowers Hamas and keeps Gaza dependent on terror-linked welfare
The staggering admission: reputation not terror financing was Britain’s top concern
Why the aid sector’s hive-mind ideology has enabled 20 years of moral corruption

Anne Herzberg breaks down the document that proves it all and reveals the networks that have allowed Hamas to thrive under the cover of humanitarianism.




Piers: "CLEARLY An Ethnic Cleansing!" Norman Finkelstein vs Benny Morris on Gaza
At least 54 Palestinians were killed in two separate Israeli strikes on Sunday night, including on a school that was sheltering displaced families. Meanwhile, last week in Washington a young couple working for the Israeli embassy were shot dead outside a Jewish museum, with the suspected assailant telling officers he “did it for Palestine”.

Such extremism on both sides shows why this war should end, and soon - but how?

Piers Morgan speaks to CEO of FAJR Global* Dr Mosab Nasser, who has lost 74 members of his family to what he says is a genocide in Gaza. Then, Uncensored is joined by two people with very differing views on the warl Professor Norman Finkelstein and Israeli historian Benny Morris.

*CEO of FAJR Global is a humanitarian organization operating in Gaza and around the world sending surgeons and aid to crisis areas.

‘Israel derangement syndrome’ has been on full display
Spiked Online Chief Political Reporter Brendan O’Neill says “Israel derangement syndrome” has been on full display after the country began delivering aid to Gaza.

“We have seen Israel derangement syndrome on full display in the last 24 hours,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News host Sharri Markson.

“This is just staggering.”




Labor recognising Palestinian statehood would ‘reward terrorism’
The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan has described a potential move by the Albanese government to recognise Palestine as “counterproductive”.

Former foreign minister Gareth Evans has called for Australia to recognise Palestinian statehood as well as demanding sanctions on Israel.

“It would be rewarding terrorism; Palestine doesn’t satisfy the criteria for statehood,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin.


Australia’s relationship with Israel at an ‘all-time low’
Sky News host Chris Kenny says the relationship between Australia and Israel is at an “all-time low”.

Mr Kenny is currently on a trip to Israel as part of an Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council study and information tour.

He visited Kibbutz Be’eri, where over 100 people were killed by Hamas on October 7.
