The Gaza you don’t see

Not sure why this is newsworthy/threadworthy

The sale of stolen humanitarian aid on the black market always occurs in these situations - it's a sign that insufficient food is being made available to the population

Also before Israel drastically reduced the amount of humanitarian aid about a month ago NGOs were facilitating the delivery of 10 trucks/day of food for commercial purposes - for 2 reasons - to keep the markets 'alive' and secondly to provide food for a few people with money so that they didn't become aid-dependent

The OPs attitude is peculiar

You know, I was considering home education for DC but this thread has put me off a bit.

This is a bloody weird thread. Poor attempt at gaslighting OP.

@Homeeducation1 , your motive in posting these links is plain to see. Life in Gaza looks expensive but not all that bad. Why are they complaining, eh?
And telling people who point out how your links are lacking any credibility, just to leave the thread, won't work no matter how many times you tell them.

Short clips of people buying and selling food (which is kind of necessary for people to eat) with no wider context, being presented as 'The Gaza You Don't See' and with accusations of 'Gaza is conning us' is disinformation. It is attempting to manipulate people's perceptions of what is happening by taking some snippets of less-than-horrific but still not good moments in people's lives, other footage that doesn't have evidence of having actually been contemporaneous but is presented as contemporaneous, and using it to discourage compassion and support for innocent people struggling to survive, suggesting a 'con', and as an added bonus, social media algorithms mean people clicking on the links and viewing the content then get exposed to increasingly biased content.

If you want to be able to post and not be challenged you are on the wrong site!

Agreed.

What's the point in the thread? What are you trying to accomplish ?

I think most people are well aware that selling aid supplies will happen in conflict zones where people are on survival mode and thinking only of themselves.

People are not saints no matter their background

It's not just about not wanting to see it. Just hiding things and not challenging them is how disinformation spreads. And with disinformation comes manipulation of people's views of important things like giving food to starving people and seeking an end to the dehumanisation, oppression and killing of innocent people.

I'm not going to click on dodgy TikToks, but I think it's well known that in aid situations some resources will end in the hands of those who will use them for profit. Based on the posts on this thread, I'm not hearing anything unexpected.

I'm really disappointed that a thread sharing disinformation like this is allowed to remain. And I'm really disappointed that the OP is just continuing to post links despite people pointing out that this is a questionable source at best.

I don't doubt that there will be men who quite happily grab thd aid and then sell onto others. Children have starved to death whilst men grab aid to sell. Ots awful.

Homeeducation1 why did you choose to link to an iffy Twitter account rather than to the primary source?

Ah that would make sense, there's also lots of pictures of life before the war with captions like 'life in a concentration camp/open air prison' obviously being sarcastic.

I just checked my Twitter and "followers you know" of the account, she is followed by the biggest pro Israeli accounts including Jordan "Give them hell, Netanyahu" Peterson. So this Twitter account is obviously a propaganda/Hasbara account designed to dehumanise Palestinians and infer that they're "selling food" and obviously not being starved. It's sick.

I'm so sorry.

Maybe I should text my friends and let them know to stop being dead so they can go eat burgers.
