The US-backed, Swiss-based militarised Gaza “Humanitarian” Foundation began with a biometric concentration camp — and ended with Israeli soldiers shooting starved, displaced civilians.
Perched on a sand dune stage in Rafah, a masked U.S. mercenary made heart emojis with his hands — as if this were a rock concert. But this is no “Live Aid.”
The Geneva-based fake “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” was shunned by every international aid agency. Its captive audience: thousands of starving, displaced people, trapped behind barbed wire in the burning sun, used for photo ops while Israeli troops stood ready to fire.
Civilians walked over 30 km from northern Gaza to Rafah with no transport, just to collect aid parcels lacking even basic nutrition. The elderly, injured, and orphaned never stood a chance.
Yesterday, GHF distributed the bare minimum to a fraction of Gaza’s population — canned and packaged food sourced by Israel. No meat. No fresh vegetables.
Netanyahu allowed this minimal aid only to prevent accusations of mass starvation, which threatened to erode international support, especially from the United States.
Within 24 hours, GHF operations collapsed after Israeli forces opened fire on men, women, and children — using American weapons, with British silence and European complicity.
Meanwhile, 160,000 tonnes of UNICEF and UNRWA aid sit rotting at the border — blocked by Israel and some of its citizens.
Like the two-state solution, the GHF gives only the illusion of relief — a smokescreen to hasten genocide.
There’s no delay when it comes to bombs and F-35 parts from the U.S. and Britain. Those shipments arrive on schedule.
Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill warned that Israel would use food as bait — luring starving families into biometric trap zones. The Rafah “distribution centre” serves two goals:
The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, defending GHF on CNN, asked: “If you really care about feeding people, why do you care what kind of truck takes it in?”
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mosab Abu Toha responded: if you cared, why did you block aid for 86 days?
This is not humanitarianism. Food must reach people where they are — across all of Gaza, not only Rafah.
In Gaza, education is fiercely prized. Youth literacy stands at 99.24%, among the highest in the Arab world. Adult literacy is 97.9%. In 2023, 12,887 students graduated from Gaza’s universities — 63% were women. Families made education a priority even under blockade.
Today, those same people beg for flour in scenes that echo Poland, 1945 — to the applause of parts of Israeli society that demand more Gaza suffering.
As Gaza starves, poison is fed to Israeli society.
In Hebrew, Netanyahu said the quiet parts aloud — calling Palestinians “human animals,” and making clear his goal: to cleanse Gaza. What about the hostages, Bibi?
Grainy drone footage shows crowds scrambling for flour. An Israeli doctor, also a reservist, compared killing Gazans to “eliminating cockroaches” in a now-deleted post. A Telegram channel linked to an IDF psy-ops unit posted videos of captured Palestinians — some dead — with captions like “Exterminating the roaches… exterminating the H**** rats…”
The world now sees what Palestinians have endured for over 80 years. We are changed.
And a reckoning is coming — for the misleaders, war profiteers, and media who abetted this genocide in plain sight.
This time, “I was just following orders” will not suffice.

Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill warned that Israel would use food as bait — luring starving families into biometric trap zones. The Rafah “distribution centre” serves two goals:
- To pressure northern Gaza residents into forced displacement south.
- To funnel Palestinians toward the Egyptian border for engineered mass exodus under the guise of “voluntary movement.”
