"The deadly trap waits for starving Palestinians who crowdly search aid Israel excluded the UN, installing its own group that distributes food to the starving population... but alternatively gives distant death"

For almost 630 days the planet watched the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, mainly by bombing, shooting from hiding and starving.Outside the camera, we read about the rapes and tortures of Palestinian hostages, including torture to the death of 3 doctors from the enclave.
For the last 100 days, Israel has strengthened the full blockade of the Gaza Strip, depriving starving Palestinians of food, drinking water, medicines and fuel – meaning that ambulances cannot work.This is simply a continuation of erstwhile blockades last year and a general belt lock that lasted over 17 years.Since the end of May, we have watched scary videos of skeleton Palestinians in line, counting on food aid, shot by U.S. mercenaries and Israeli soldiers.Israel bombed Palestinians and invaded their lands, destroying hospitals and kidnapping doctors and patients.He bombarded churches, schools, UN centers and tents where displaced Palestinians lived – in expected “safe zones”, to which the Israeli army ordered them to flee.He killed more than 200 journalists and deliberately attacked medics.For those who have only late paid attention, these crimes go back decades and cover the crimes of the Israeli army and illegal colonists against Palestinian civilians, including children, in the West Bank.Let us add Israeli bombings of civilian areas of Lebanon and Syria over the years, and now fresh unprovoked bombings of Iran by Israel.Suffice it to say that erstwhile Israel was under fire by Iranian retaliatory missiles, reports of any 30 Israeli civilians suffering from panic attacks raised small compassion.Again, those who have been paying attention for more than 2 years will callback Israel's erstwhile wars in the Gaza Strip, as in 2014, erstwhile Israelis gathered with drinks and snacks on the slopes of the hills to rejoice at the bombing of the enclave, or 2009 T-shirts commemorating snipers killing pregnant women with the sign "one shot, 2 kills".In 2010, writing about a traumatized 10-year-old I met who could no longer walk usually or talk after the panic of Israeli tanks shelling his house, I quoted a survey by the Gaza Community intellectual wellness Programme, which stated that "91.4 percent of children in the Gaza Strip showed symptoms of average to very severe PTSD". It was 15 years ago and many wars of Israel in the Gaza Strip.American-Israeli humane death traps The killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip continued erstwhile Israel attacked Iran.The most insidious fresh invention is the late formed American-Israeli aid group, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).The Israeli authorities accuse Hamas of stealing aid, and on the basis of this unconfirmed accusation, they considered that the long-running UN aid agencies could no longer operate in the Gaza Strip, insisting alternatively that the group filled with armed combat veterans (better say "bustors") is better equipped to guarantee that food reaches hungry Palestinians.It is outrageous that, despite any media coverage, Israel was allowed for months (actually more than a year) to block the entry of thousands of trucks with assistance gathered outside the Gaza Strip, only to then order hired armed people to "distribute aid".

The large irony and duality is that even Israeli and Western media reported real aid thieves in the Gaza Strip: not Hamas, but a group associated with ISIS, under the protection of the Israeli army.According to the independent average The Cradle, group leader Yasser Abu Shabab, “is a well-known leader of armed gangs associated with ISIS and active in robbing aid under Israel's protection... many reports, including from the Haaretz and The Washington Post, confirm that these gangs were seen during the robbery in front of Israeli forces that neither intervene nor prevent theft."In another post, The Cradle quoted an Israeli military radio that reported: “Israel gave weapons to militia members... The militia operates mainly in the Rafah area, which the Israeli army occupied and cleared. The task of the militia is to prevent humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip and to fight Hamas."Apparently, the hungry Palestinians, after moving many kilometres to their distribution sites, are chased into tight fences and shelled by mercenaries “help”.Jonathan Whittall, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid at the Occupied Palestinian territory (OCHA) described the situation as “conditions created to kill, slaughter, arming hunger, death conviction for people who are simply trying to survive.”In a video released on June 23, Whittall said: “The Israeli authorities prevent us from distributing through those systems that we have established and that we know are working. We could scope all household in Gaza, as we have done in the past, but all step of this is impossible for us."Recently UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres repeated Whittall's words: “Every operation that directs desperate civilians to militarized zones is inherently dangerous. It's killing people. People are killed just trying to feed themselves and their families. The search for food should never be a death sentence."As he said, the UN's own humanitarian efforts are "suffocated" by Israel and even humanitarian aid workers themselves are starving.It is said that civilians seeking aid are shot in the head and chest, which is more like execution than “warning shots” or “crowd control”.Among the victims is an 18-month-old girl whose X-rays show a bullet stuck in her chest.According to Rama Abdu, the non-profit president of the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, the girl was shot while she was in her mother's arms on the way to the GHF Helppoint.As early as last July, an article was published in The Lancet informing that the full number of deaths among Palestinian civilians caused straight and indirectly by Israeli attacks since October 2023 could scope "up to 186 000 or more". another estimates were even more grim, including estimates by Norwegian Dr Mads Gilbert, who had worked intensively in the Gaza Strip for years, who said that the number of people dead or shortly dead could exceed 500,000. Let's decision on to a fresh study by Yaakov Garb of Ben-Gurion University, published through Harvard Dataverse.It describes a false aid distribution task as “all neighbouring Israeli military installations... served by armed combat veterans supported by Israeli soldiers. The task creates a ‘narrow throat’ or ‘dead funnel’ — a predictable way from a single entry to a single exit without cover or cover. It's the graphics on page 5 that got people's attention.Of the 2.2 million population before the genocide, the illustration only includes 1.85 million, which prompts many to ask, where are the remaining 350,000 people?This makes the concerns expressed a year ago more justified.In his report, Yaakov Garb wrote: “The Israeli military has a duty, as an business force in the Gaza Strip, to supply humanitarian aid... If the attacker is incapable to decently and neutrally feed the starving population in the face of the disaster he is constantly creating, he is obliged to let another humanitarian agencies to do so."

Instead, all day we see fresh horror movies of skinny Palestinian civilians who are desperate to face death in hopes of providing food to their families... and are shot by the Israeli army and the mercenaries it supports.At least it appears that these actions are yet catching up with Israel, which means a deficiency of support or trust in the state or its representatives and a global request for justice for the Palestinians.Quoting Craig Mokhiber, a human rights lawyer and erstwhile UN elder human rights authoritative who late published on X: ‘(Israeli) government is being tried for genocide. His leaders are charged with crimes against humanity. Israel is isolated. The government is now almost universally despised, as were the Nazi and apartheid regimes. People around the planet are definitely on the side of Palestine. You do not return from apartheid and genocide.”
