Inhumane Israeli - US backed GHF aid system.

[Whatsinanamehey]

To continue the discussion on this new aid system which has led to countless Palestinian deaths and injuries and labelled 'inhumane' by the UK government.

“Humanitarian aid is being weaponised. It is being used as leverage to forcibly displace people, to meet military objectives, or blocked entirely"

Quote from an open letter from MSF in the last couple of days.. it's so true, people are being drawn out of safety by starvation desperation and then shot by the IDF.

Cowards.

Really?

Im glad i didn't see that, a lot of the posts on this board are sickening enough without having to read that.

If you read their now deleted post on what they think of Palestinians this wouldn't surprise you. Very obvious that some posters agree fully with Netanyahu and his right wing extremists when it comes to how they view Palestinians. Eye opening and very worrying at the same time.

Shocking to see the murders go on at their aid distribution points. Shame on them all, it's sickening

The good news is: in real life and as per all polls out there this an increasingly niche position.

But, yes, some of the dehumanising views of some of these posts are actively nauseating.

It's horrific watching what Israel and the US are getting up to with this.
Come starving people for food and possible die or lose a limb. No wonder that ex marine resigned.

UNICEF says that “ it is now routine to shoot and kill starving people “. (BBC, just now).

Well, well, well.

Richard Kemp is a former colonel in the British Army and knows about war. Of course the blind haters on here will lambast him as an Israeli shill but it seems he is defending Israel for a reason - facts are important.

He had been in Gaza quite a few times since the war started but I haven’t seen him among Gazan citizens before.

One observation is that no Gazans look to be suffering from the effects of starvation.

Well, well, well

Well well what? It's obvious why he's there I'll trust unicef over Israeli propaganda thanks. They are delivering aid no one said they weren't it is the amount and the system people have issues with. As for your "no one looks starving" observation thrown in, the most vulnerable and malnourished would never be able to make it to the aid centres and if they could I doubt Israel would film them.

I also read snippers as well

Looking at the numbers of those killed trying to get to food it has increased daily since Israel started bombing Iran.

11 more shot at the aid site.
Why are these soldiers so trigger happy with unarmed civilians?

Exactly.
Why are we standing back and asking nicely when a population is starved with our knowledge.
Everyone can see this, everyone knows what’s going on and yet no one is doing anything except the odd sanction here and there. ! ! and even those were fairly recent.

because they want to kill them.
There really can be no other reason.

True and it's so much easier for them when they are all rounded up trying to get food.

I actually hope it stands because I was told there is no one sneering at Gazans on Mumsnet.

Sounds pretty sneery to me.

Well well . He pretty much works for the IDF so yes we will ignore him.

Indeed. Anyone in the whole world who is not a gaslighter knows perfectly well that Gazans are starving.

Ive only seen posters on mn denying there is anyone starving in Gaza, well one poster for sure. So i don't converse with them. I can't.
Elsewhere, I've not seen or heard anyone deny this. But mn is the only social media i do, i don't go down any other rabbit holes.

144 killed in Gaza in the last 24 hours!

World food programme condemns violence against those seeking aid.

Jesus that's horrific. These people are just being slaughtered, its like they aren't human and don't count.
It must be terrifying.

Clearly your eyes are shut.

It doesn’t take much to look at the children, the journalists and even the drs who are considerably thiner and in some cases painfully thin.

A vile comment.

Also, sorry if this seems random or derailing but:

Can we stop calling them "Gazans"?

They are Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Every time we call them "Gazans" (or even Ghazawi ... which is the Arabic term) we tacitly agree that they are separate from their compatriots in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, even the Palestinians left in Haifa (who are called Arab-Israeli).

My friend H. was born in Nablus. He has cousins born in both Haifa and Mukhaiem Jabalia.

Do let's not call them "Gazans" please!

YouGov poll on Public support for Israel was at an all time low on 3rd Jun 2025 because of their treatment of the Palestinian people
The majority of people have empathy for those in Gaza.

Blind hardliners will always exist @TakeMe2Insanity , tbh I feel sorry for people like that.

of note a more recent poll after Netanyahus decision to attack Iran shows the majority is against Israel’s actions
