"Gaza: The Real Blockade: Hamas Theft, UNRWA Complicity, and the War on Truth."

[Pastelli]

My comnent: They should have expanded on infamous Francesca Albanese.

---

It’s become a familiar pattern: Israel and US send humanitarian aid into Gaza — and "Palestinian" sadistic regime Hamas [bosses of Gaza Health Ministry] steals it. Meanwhile, UNRWA, the UN agency tasked with helping Palestinian civilians, turns a blind eye — or worse, assists in the cover-up. What results is not just a humanitarian failure, but a deliberate, calculated assault on the truth.


Let’s be clear: there is no shortage of humanitarian aid entering Gaza. There is a shortage of honesty about what happens to that aid once it crosses the border.


Where genuine hunger exists, it’s not because of Israel. It’s because of two predictable, repeated failures:

1. Hamas hijacks aid — food, medicine, fuel — and redirects it to its fighters, smuggling networks, and tunnel systems.

2. UNRWA either lacks the will or the integrity to ensure aid gets to civilians. Whether through incompetence or ideological complicity, it fails — again and again.


But the corruption and cynicism go deeper.


The world has been flooded with images of sick children who suffer from pre-existing medical conditions that have nothing to do with the war. And yet, these photos are used to arouse emotion, manipulate global opinion, and promote the grotesque lie of a so-called “genocide.” (Worth mentioning too, UN's employed Francesca Albanese with a history of antisemitism, dubbed by Human Rights expert as 21-century Goebbels, has already pushed the false "genocide" propaganda in 2014 ranting tweet). This is not humanitarian advocacy — this is propaganda, weaponized suffering designed to manufacture outrage against the Jewish state.


It is a cruel, deliberate distortion of reality — a media and NGO echo chamber parroting Hamas-scripted narratives. This is Pallywood on steroids — or more precisely, “Pallyweid”: a propaganda operation that exploits every death, every child’s illness, and every grain of suffering as fuel for an anti-Israel blood libel.


Ask yourself: Why aren’t those same cameras showing the warehouses of aid stolen by Hamas? Why don’t we see coverage of the tunnels built beneath hospitals, or the fighters hiding among civilians? Why does the media repeat unverified Hamas casualty figures while ignoring the suffering of Israeli hostages held in underground hellholes, starved, abused, and denied even the most basic human rights — simply because they are Jews?


Let’s be absolutely clear: the only deliberate starvation campaign happening right now is the one Hamas is inflicting on Israeli hostages. No food. No medicine. No sunlight. No humanity. Just Islamo-Arab racist hatred masquerading as “resistance.”


And UNRWA? Rather than ensuring aid reaches those in need, it helps prop up Hamas’s lies. From manipulating death tolls to allowing its facilities to be used as launch sites and storage depots, UNRWA has become less a humanitarian body than a political actor — one more interested in smearing Israel than serving Palestinians.


This isn’t aid. It’s optics. And the message is chilling: suffering is only useful if it can be weaponized against the Jewish state.


If the international community truly wants to help Gaza, it must stop enabling the very actors who perpetuate the crisis. That means:


Ending Hamas’s rule and dismantling its terror infrastructure


Holding UNRWA accountable, or replacing it entirely with neutral, transparent aid organizations.

Restoring moral clarity in a global conversation hijacked by lies, blood libels, and antisemitic double standards


Until then, let’s stop pretending Israel is the problem. The blockade that matters most isn’t the one at the border — it’s the blockade on truth, decency, and justice.

According to your new findings, how many cases of Israeli rape were there in 1948?

“About a dozen. In Acre four soldiers raped a girl and murdered her and her father. In Jaffa, soldiers of the Kiryati Brigade raped one girl and tried to rape several more. At Hunin, which is in the Galilee, two girls were raped and then murdered. There were one or two cases of rape at Tantura, south of Haifa. There was one case of rape at Qula, in the center of the country. At the village of Abu Shusha, near Kibbutz Gezer [in the Ramle area] there were four female prisoners, one of whom was raped a number of times. And there were other cases. Usually more than one soldier was involved. Usually there were one or two Palestinian girls. In a large proportion of the cases the event ended with murder. Because neither the victims nor the rapists liked to report these events, we have to assume that the dozen cases of rape that were reported, which I found, are not the whole story. They are just the tip of the iceberg.”

According to your findings, how many acts of Israeli massacre were perpetrated in 1948?

“Twenty-four. In some cases four or five people were executed, in others the numbers were 70, 80, 100. There was also a great deal of arbitrary killing. Two old men are spotted walking in a field – they are shot. A woman is found in an abandoned village – she is shot. There are cases such as the village of Dawayima [in the Hebron region], in which a column entered the village with all guns blazing and killed anything that moved

IDF Continues Fight Against Hamas, Despite International Outcry.
Joel B. Pollak. 24 Aug 2025.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued attacking Hamas positions in northern Gaza this weekend, despite a growing international outcry claiming that Israel is committing [so-called] “genocide” by seeking military victory.

The IDF released video footage of operations by troops near the area of Jabaliya, near Gaza City, a key Hamas stronghold. The maneuvers intend to close in on the last area of Gaza largely untouched by the war thus far.

The IDF said in a statement:

'In recent days, troops of the 401st Brigade, under the command of the 162nd Division, have returned to combat in the Jabaliya area in the northern Gaza Strip.
The troops are operating to further degrade the military capabilities of the Hamas terrorist organization. The troops are dismantling terrorist infrastructure above and below ground, eliminating terrorists, and strengthening operational control in the area.
The troops’ activity enables the expansion of combat into additional areas and prevents Hamas terrorists from returning to operate in these areas.
So far, the troops have located an underground terror tunnel, eliminated terrorists, and dismantled a military structure that Hamas terrorists used to plan and carry out attacks against IDF troops.
IDF troops under the command of the Southern Command will continue to operate against the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip in order to maintain the security of the State of Israel.'

The IDF has avoided key parts of Gaza City thus far out of concern for the fate of the last Israeli hostages, 50 of whom — possibly 20 living — are being held there.

“Olivia Reingold and Tanya Lukyanova performed a public service by asking and answering a simple question,” write The Editors. (Illustration by The Free Press, images via screen grabs)
By The Editors
08.25.25 —Israel and Antisemitism


Last week, The Free Press ran an investigation into a dozen viral photos published by major international media outlets aimed at depicting starvation in Gaza. All 12 pictures featured distressed Gazans, mostly children. All were skin and bones. And all suffered from preexisting conditions, like cerebral palsy.

Crucially, that last piece of information was absent from the captions or news stories they accompanied. In leaving out that context, the outlets presented an incomplete story. Rather than typifying the situation in Gaza, right now, these are exceptional cases.

They Became Symbols for Gazan Starvation. But All 12 Suffer from Other Health Problems.

We are proud of the report and the reporters who tracked it down. In doing so, Olivia Reingold and Tanya Lukyanova performed a public service by asking and answering a simple question: In a moment of widespread charges by international institutions and news outlets about hunger in Gaza, are these photographs representative? More: How is it that journalists failed to scrutinize information coming out of a war zone with an active terrorist group conducting kinetic and information warfare?

Journalistic outlets love to boast about “impact,” and this story has had more than its share. CNN updated its piece after our reporting, noting at the top that the story had been “updated to reflect new information regarding the condition of some of the subjects.” So did The Washington Post, issuing a correction to say that it had “incorrectly” used a year-old photo in its current coverage of “mass starvation” in Gaza. The Guardian issued no correction but stealthily added one important detail to its coverage: that a previously featured child had cerebral palsy.

In a normal time, this is the kind of work that would be praised by our peers for getting to ground truth. But we don’t live in normal times. And that is not how some of our colleagues in the news media saw things.

To Krystal Ball, host of Breaking Points, our journalism was “just so disgusting.” Ball’s co-host, Saagar Enjeti, chimed in to compare our reporters to Holocaust deniers, saying that a “key tenet of holocaust denial is trying to claim that many of the initial victims or purported victims had other preconditions and that’s part of the reason why they died.”

Those who care about the truth will note that these children were not presented as the initial victims of anything; they were deceptively promoted to reflect the average Gazan. To suggest otherwise betrays a fleeting relationship with reality.

Ball and Enjeti are not alone. Glenn Greenwald, a self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist,” argued not just for our censorship, but for our “trial at the Hague.”

Barack Obama’s former deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes (whose nickname, incidentally, in that administration was “Hamas”), says we are “sociopathic.” Ryan Grim, co-founder of Drop Site News, predicts reporter Olivia Reingold’s “name will become notorious for a generation.”



We are confident our reporters’ names will be known, but not for the reasons Grim and his ilk suggest. They will be remembered for sober, meticulous work in the face of journalists who oppose actual journalism.

You’ll notice one important aspect about the uproar: No one is disputing the facts in our piece. Instead, they take issue with the facts we have exposed. They take issue with curiosity that points in the wrong political direction.

This story—like all of our reporting—does not deny that there is hunger in Gaza. We cite the most recent data from the World Health Organization, which reported 63 deaths from malnutrition last month alone, including 25 children.

Their situations—and those of the people in these 12 images—are tragic enough, as is the horror of the war itself.

But the panic over our investigation is not sincere—it is strategic. They think if they can make an example out of our reporters, no one will dare ask uncomfortable questions. Questions like: If there is a deliberate campaign of starvation, why did our reporters find that many of these children are receiving medical care, and some of them have already been airlifted out of Gaza to seek treatment with Israel’s help? If these images are representative of the average Gazan, then why were our reporters able to find complicated backstories behind the first dozen images they investigated? And if these critics are such accuracy hawks, why do they take issue with adding basic context to news stories?

In a normal time, this is the kind of work that would be praised by our peers for getting to ground truth. But we don’t live in normal times.
More: Why have these reporters ignored credible reports of the United Nations and its allied organizations themselves blocking the distribution of aid in Gaza? And why are they twisting the truth about Hamas’s theft of aid? Similarly, why have they ignored the fact that the United Nations-associated body that attempts to assess whether there is a famine monkeyed with the metrics for its assessment in Gaza?

We’ve seen this movie before: In 2020, when the activist class declared there was a pandemic of police gunning down unarmed black men, anyone who pointed to statistics showing otherwise was branded a racist. Or during Covid, when reporters and politicians who questioned the wisdom of keeping schools closed were accused of trying to abet mass death. Or more recently, when the question of transgender youth medicine was treated as settled science—until it wasn’t. Our point is simple: Shouting down inconvenient facts doesn’t resolve a debate.

For the Gaza information warriors, it’s not enough to acknowledge that there is hunger in Gaza. No. It must be premeditated genocide. Introducing facts into the discourse that complicate that judgment is condemned as genocide denial. Whatever one wants to call this kind of discourse, it’s certainly not the work of journalists.

Ball gives the game away in her segment on Breaking Points. She asks at one point, after quoting our piece: “Is that supposed to be a propaganda win for Israel?”

No. It’s just reporting the context that the mainstream, and the serially online YouTubers, leave out lest their narratives disintegrate and their audiences evaporate along with them. In other words, it is journalism.
