Gazans complain about Hamas stealing their food. But Western leaders and media don't believe them.

We've been seeing articles that there is no proof of Hamas stealing aid.

No one seems to ask the Gazans.

On the COGAT Arabic Facebook page, with 1.1 million followers, there are plenty of Gazans complaining about Israel and aid. But a great deal of them confirm that Hamas and other gangs are stealing the aid.

"You bring in medicine, medical supplies, and fuel, and there is a gang that steals it and sells it in the black markets and pharmacies. The gang consists of employees of international organizations, traders of the Islamic religion, and black market traders. Everyone has seen in pictures and videos how it was done, all under the cover and security of surveillance drones."

"By God, it's not a loss for the unarmed citizens, but unfortunately, the Hamas militias, mercenaries of Iran, steal it."

"Is theft new for Hamas? They have been stealing from us for 18 years. It's their nature, not something they bought. God is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs. May God rid us of them. They destroyed us and our future, the traitors. I hope security, safety, and stability prevail among us. I wish you would rule Gaza, it would be better for us 🥺."

"May God hold Hamas accountable, since 2007, theft, looting, killing, they stole all of Gaza's wealth and its support."

"All the aid goes to Hamas and is sold to the poor people at multiples of its price. Fear God for the poor people."

"Haneen, I swear aid entered that could flood Gaza with food, flour, clothes, and everything, but the Iranian guys, as usual, steal it for their loved ones, for their tunnels and their children, you imbecile."

"Aysar Shehadeh, don't bring God into this. People are dying and God is asleep with no sign or sound. People want to live with dignity, and Hamas has humiliated people, made life difficult for them, and stole their resources and aid. Enough with the empty slogans. The one whose hand is in the fire is not like the one whose hand is in the water."

"It's all lies and deception. Hamas takes the lion's share, whether by blocking roads, through so-called 'Sahm' groups, or by crowding the trucks. By God, until now, my children, my grandchildren, and I have not received anything at all, neither legitimately nor illegitimately."

"It's true you let it in, and Hamas and the humanitarian organizations sell it to people at high prices. Leave us alone, we want to live."

It isn't like COGAT censors the comments - there are plenty that curse Israel for various reasons, including alleging that Israel is cooperating with the gangs. Others are asking why military drone quadcopters couldn't shoot at the armed men on top of the aid trucks so they can reach their destinations.

You can learn plenty of other things from the COGAT Arabic comments, like even though Palestinian and Arab leaders claim Gazans don't want to leave and praise heir "steadfastness," hundreds beg COGAT to let them leave Gaza.

A collection of comments about aid stealing, with links and English translation, can be seen here.

Amazing how reporters cannot find this information. Or how they don't want you to know about it.
