Amnesty International spins an antisemitic conspiracy theory as bizarre as anything the Nazis ever came up with

Israel, working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, has created an entire food distribution system from scratch. I once listed out the huge amount of logistics involved. Here is a summary of estimated costs (via Grok):

Construction or Repurposing of Secure Aid Distribution Centers: $45 million

Temporary Warehouses for Aid Storage: $5 million

Perimeter Fencing, Controlled Entry/Exit Points, and Crowd Management: $5 million

Transport Corridors from Crossings to Hubs (building roads): $25 million

Civilian Registration System $5 million

Biometric Screening Technology (Fingerprint/Facial Recognition): $10 million (not sure it is being used)

Deployment of IDF Personnel for Security: $150 million (six months)

Hiring American Private Contractors: $250 million (six months)

Real-Time CCTV Surveillance and Drone Overwatch: $12 million (six months)

Convoy Coordination with Armed Escorts: $5 million

This is well over a half a billion dollars and millions of man-hours (yes, I checked), not including the large number of smaller logistics items like signage, auditing, coordination, reporting, inspections and lots more.

Anyone who has ever worked in a large organization or government knows how much goes into an effort like this.

But Amnesty International doesn't want you to consider this. Because they want to say that all of this effort, time and money to feed Gazans is merely a cover for Israel's real intention to starve and murder Gazans.

Yes, a respected human rights NGO is pushing a bizarre theory where anything Israel does that aligns with humanitarian goals and legal obligations is really an elaborate scheme to distract from its desire to do the opposite.

Here's what Amnesty published today:

Gaza: Evidence points to Israel’s continued use of starvation to inflict genocide against Palestinians

Evidence gathered by Amnesty International demonstrates how over a month since the introduction of its militarized aid distribution system, Israel has continued to use starvation of civilians as a weapon of war against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip and to deliberately impose conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction as part of its ongoing genocide.

By continuing to prevent UN and other key humanitarian organizations from distributing certain essential items, like food parcels, fuel and shelter, within Gaza and by maintaining a deadly, dehumanizing and ineffective militarized ‘aid’ scheme, Israeli authorities have turned aid-seeking into a booby trap for desperate starved Palestinians. They have also deliberately fueled chaos and compounded suffering instead of alleviating it. The aid delivered is also way below the humanitarian needs of a population that has been experiencing almost daily bombings for the last 20 months.

Amnesty has created a truly convoluted antisemitic conspiracy theory. According to them, Israel spent all this money and effort just to get Gazans into distribution areas where they can be shot and starved.

If Israel's intent is starvation, wouldn't it be a lot more efficient just to block all food into Gaza? If Israel's intent was to kill Gaza civilians, wouldn't it make more sense to just bomb them? According to Amnesty, the GHF distribution centers are the world's most expensive mousetraps.

The word "Hamas" is not mentioned in this press release once. Hamas has been murdering the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation workers and Gazans trying to get aid, and blaming Israel. Hamas has been stealing aid and reselling it to fund its terror activities. Hamas has been intimidating Gazans and threatening them not to get free food. Amnesty doesn't even give lip service to Israel's stated desire to build this huge enterprise specifically to keep the aid out of the hands of Hamas.

This is, of course, a propaganda method: avoid the facts that disprove your conspiracy theory.

Everything Israel is doing is aligned with its goals of giving aid directly to the people of Gaza, whether or not there is chaos as the system ramps up. Nothing Israel is doing is consistent with Amnesty's theory that this system is really a way to distract from Israel's desire to kill and starve Gazans.

Antisemitic accusations are always conspiracy theories. This is no different.

This is a blood libel, plain and simple, dressed up in humanitarian clothing.
