You have this 100% wrong. But hey, what should I expect from anti-western propagandist that calls himself a journalist?

The racist west are blackmailed willingly by Israel because they see the white bigmouths and don't realise that the white ones are the minority and arab jews the majority and have been for some time. A truth is that there were 280,000 more Palestinians than jews in the last census so they had to mow the law on a grand scale.

Excellent piece again Jonathan.

I can’t help feeling that everything the Israelis do to the Palestinians is a ‘re-enactment’ of what the Nazis did to the Jews in Europe in WW2 especially in Warsaw (where Netanyahu’s father came from) and especially in the Warsaw ghetto uprising of 1943. This includes the withholding of food and supplies to the indigenous population as a means of enforcing control. Whether actions such as this and other brutal repressive practices behind the genocidal treatment of the Palestinians are driven by the dogmatic and systematic demonizing by the Zionist leaders or by the undeclared desire by bulk of the Jewish-Israeli population for retribution against another vulnerable people - or both - is a moot point.

And lying about the victims’ behaviour - in this case about Hamas ‘stealing the food’ is typical of the dehumanizing practices employed by the Nazis.

The more the West can do to establish this ‘Nazi re-enactment’ drive as the real motivation for the Israeli brutality and oppression - as opposed to ‘defeating Hamas’ - the quicker it can deny Israel any remaining moral justification for its appalling actions in Gaza and elsewhere and bring about the required universal and outspoken condemnation of its actions that should herald the end to this catastrophe.

Plan Dalet was first written in 1936 but put on the back burner due to the war, after decades of denying it the whole catastrophic plan is on the jewish virtual library website https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/plan-dalet-for-war-of-independence-march-1948?fbclid=IwY2xjawFMSnhleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHcx3Pa1UPa0ENeYyYQFX7OwHVF7XTGaeXT42amFt7gcapXrNCR6knIJJww_aem_NvnvHMypS3-lsczizl6tMA#google_vignette the MOrgenthau Plan to kill all Germans was identical.

Most informative are the defenders who've commented on this post. Their shrill claims, harsh rationalizations, and deliberate omissions of the full history are more evidence about the truth of Gaza. That it isn't with the political and econ powers currently dominant in the U.S., U.K., and Israel.

If it were, there would be no need for heavy-handed media censorship. No need for firing professors or disenrolling student dissenters. No need for such desperate attempts to convince us we must not believe what we can plainly see.

You should have seen the shrieks of rage when Cindy McCain very firmly told a journalist that Hamas did not steal food, the zionest screeched like harpies calling her a traitor and liar.

No supporting evidence means having to use ad hominem.

Debbie Beatty's avatar

Even if they were, the proper response is to provide more food, not stop. I'm insulted by their assumption that we are so stupid as to believe this idiotic reasoning.

UNRWA is not corrupt, hamas are just Palestinians and it is the Israeli's who are the neo nazis.

Plus then you have Hamas in site take them out!!!! After all you are monitoring that tiny strip with drones and killing children so why not Hamas.

V good piece on the mire of what are essentially straightforward trade wars involving human lives and essential supplies of eg food and medical supplies while bombing and killing in the 100000s at least civilians as terrorists as terrorist state against civilians terrorists? Incredible. So to make less credible. Have you heard of the Ben Gurion canal? Check out and make sense of the Trump Real Estate like erm Beirut? Oh that went well? check it out fact check:-sent2flight2Egypt? Palestine?Israel? Turkey? Crimea? War Crimea? Ukraine? Sudan? Middle East canal to the sea Suez? Crisis? USA? Panama? China? X

I read that Isreal has recruited Jihadists from Syria to steal aid. Either way, the zionists are behind it and how anyone with a shred of brain matter, conscience or ethics can believe anything that comes from their odious spokespersons, is totally beyond me.

Thank you for your clarity and truth Jonathan👏👏👏

Nice article on Israel and Gaza. I would like to request you to write one article on how Indian Kashmir has been hit by the 'sponsored terrorism'. I would like to know how foreigners think about this burning issue of India.

Even a footage of starving people grabbing whatever they can from the trucks is deemed as Hamas looting aid. Today a photo from Israel of aid being neatly distributed at a Rafah checkpoint seems suspect. Another deception.. no one has received anything!!

Matthew Leake's avatar

Not only is there no evidence of it, the contrary has been reported even in Western media. Organised looting, led by crime families, were tackled by Hamas, but actively encouraged by Israel. This from the Financial Times in Nov '24.

"The swift show of force underscores the rising power of Abu Shabab and other gangs in Gaza, who have in recent months developed a lucrative trade robbing aid trucks travelling into the enclave.

These gangsters act, humanitarian officials and Palestinian transporters allege, with the tacit permission of the Israeli military: what a UN memo seen by the Financial Times called “the passive, if not active benevolence” of the Israel Defense Forces.

Led by escaped convicts and formed along family lines, the heavily-armed gangs defy Gazan authorities and operate freely along the border, a restricted Israeli military zone."

I've been trying to wrap my head around this one too.

Surely there would be video footage, photos, even first hand accounts by desperate Gazans, to bolster the claims that there is systematic and widespread diverting of aid trucks by Hamas... surely the Gazans we have seen protesting in the streets would have no issue in speaking up about how their food is being stolen, whilst they pick out single grains of rice from the bottom of empty bowls?

When you are searching for the truth, and attempting to be factual in your writing, surely we would champion credible evidence of claims such as this, and want Hamas to be held accountable.

Surely, if there was a "command and control" centre underneath Al-Shifa hospital, we would welcome the evidence.

If we claim to have journalistic integrity, surely we would applaud "proof" of militant strong holds, to justify the targetting of what would otherwise be buildings that fall under protected status?

But when all you get are videos of a handful of oddly placed guns, a small laptop (without showing what's on said laptop), pointing to a calendar and claiming it's Hamas attack schedules and badly rendered computer generated graphics... what are we meant to do?

When your official statements boldly tell a story, that then crumbles under even the weakest of scrutiny, then you change your story once, twice, thrice, until it no longer resembles even the slightest likeness if your original story... what are we meant to do?

Even when we try to approach in good faith, how can one not view your words suspiciously, after time and time again, you are shown to obfuscate the truth.

For the sake of my writing work, I try not to become jaded or fall into confirmation bias, I try to seek the truth, no matter where I find it.

But damn, sometimes it's hard in this environment.

Watching the starving desperate people waiting for the trucks/the food, jump onto vehicles to secure something/anything for their families, I can understand that too. But again, this is why Israel is only allowing the aid in as a trickle, they want tension to build and desperation to kick start violence in the scrum to survive

Then they’ll step in with their guns and justify slaughter by pointing to Gazan citizens behaviour around aid deliveries… it’s a no win situation!
