How the American Government Helped Spread the Lie about Starvation in Gaza

There’s a shortage—if you ignore hundreds of tons of food.

Shortly after the October 7, 2023 attacks, Israel began coordinating the delivery of massive amounts of food and other basic supplies into the Gaza Strip. These were, in practical terms, delivered to Hamas, which used it to feed its fighters and sold the rest to civilians, thus raising revenue and maintaining control over the population. Israel ended this policy on March 2, although it seems some supplies have entered Gaza nonetheless. Now that the IDF is preparing to resume major combat operations, it is trying to devise a plan to resume aid shipments, under its own auspices.
