Media reports on the shootings at or near food distribution sites in Gaza deliberately leave the impression that the workers and users of the sites are being shot by the IDF. They make no effort to verify these reports, and they ignore the promises of Hamas to deal heavily with those who distribute food and those who accept that food. Truth has no place in the mainstream media anymore.
Hamas is Attacking Food Sites in Gaza, Media Claims Israel Is
The media has become indistinguishable from a communications arm of Hamas.
Ever since the launch of the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, Hamas began losing control over aid which was previously a steady source of income. In response, the Islamic terrorist group began attacking aid sites, gunned down 8 humanitarian aid workers and put bounties on their heads.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said Saturday night that reports of Hamas targeting its personnel and aid workers in Gaza are credible.
“According to these reports, Hamas has placed bounties on both our American security personnel and Palestinian aid workers—offering cash rewards to anyone who injures or kills them,” the aid organization said in a statement.
The organization claimed that Hamas has positioned its terrorists near humanitarian zones in recent days to disrupt their operations.
The same media which blew up any story about Hamas personnel operating as ‘aid workers’ being killed, ignored or minimized these attacks while continuing to describe the Gaza Humanitarian Fund as ‘controversial’ for not allowing Hamas to control aid distribution.
Meanwhile the media continues citing claims by Hamas, usually listed as “Gaza officials” or “Gaza health officials”, about the number of people killed near aid distribution areas without clarifying how many of them were terrorists or that Hamas initiated these attacks.
Instead, the media has circulated a narrative in which Israel is attacking its own aid sites for no reason whatsoever.
It’s not as if Hamas has even denied what it’s doing.
In reference to the same incident, Al-Khazindar Company, a Palestinian group working with GHF, said on Thursday that Hamas militants had targeted its workers, killing eight people.
“Hamas targeted them after several threats, and we never expected the situation to escalate to the point of assassinating these workers,” the company director Raafat Al-Khazindar told CNN, adding that other workers were beaten and shot.
The incident happened near the Quba Mosque in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, the director added.
On Sunday, Hamas media said its forces have “full authority and mandate to strike decisively against any entity or individual collaborating with the enemy’s plans or with any rogue, criminal, or traitorous elements that violate the law and the traditions of our people.”
The media simply chooses to continue telling the Hamas side of the story without admitting that it’s doing so.
It’s another example of what I described as the media moving beyond bias, beyond slanted coverage to promoting non-stop terrorist propaganda.
The media has become indistinguishable from a communications arm of Hamas.
‘Enemies of God’: Trump and Netanyahu targeted for
‘execution and crucifixion’
One of Iran’s most senior Shia clerics, has pronounced a fatwa against the leaders.
By Vered Weiss, World Israel News
A senior Iranian cleric issued a fatwa, or an Islamic decree, against US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following a 12-day military conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, one of Iran’s most senior Shia clerics, has pronounced a fatwa against the leaders, declared them “enemies of God” and mohareb—those who wage war against Allah.
A fatwa is a severe decree in Islam, making the target subject to “execution and crucifixion.” According to Islam, anyone who assists someone under a fatwa is subject to having a limb cut off or exile.
The decree is in response to Israel and the US military bombing nuclear facilities in Iran and doing significant damage to the country’s nuclear program.
The fatwa has been interpreted as a justification to commit global acts of terrorism. It is noteworthy for its long-reaching effects after it was issued against British novelist Salman Rushdie following the publication of his controversial novel, The Satanic Verses.
Rushdie was the target of several assassination attempts and lost his eye to an attacker in 2023.
The Trump administration has not yet issued an official response to the fatwa.
Trump and Khamenei became embroiled in a war of words on social media following the war.
The American president used harsh words on Saturday in response to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s claim that the US was exaggerating the damage its strikes had inflicted on Iran’s nuclear facilities and that the US forces in the region would receive an additional “slap.”
Trump wrote on social media, “During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery.”
“But instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief and more,” Trump wrote, calling Khamenei’s remarks “blatant and foolish.”
“As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie,” Trump said, and he repeated earlier statements that Iran’s nuclear sites were “obliterated.”
Trump also repeated a claim he posted on social media during the conflict that he knew where Khamenei was hiding and added that he saved him from being assassinated by Israel.
“I saved him from a very ugly and ignominious death,” Trump said.
And do you regret that yet, Mr. T?

Grieving brother reveals Hamas tortured hostage to death
after mistaking him for a pilot
Hamas suspected Itzik Elgarat was a pilot because of an eagle-shaped tattoo on his arm.
Chaos erupted in a Knesset committee meeting Monday as security guards dragged away the brother of a slain Hamas-held hostage who had just revealed that terrorists tortured his sibling to death.
Danny Elgarat had come to share devastating new details about his brother’s final moments. Intelligence officials had visited his home just one day earlier with the brutal truth about how 68-year-old Itzik died in captivity.
“Itzik died during interrogation in captivity because they thought he was a pilot,” Danny told the committee. “They took him in for interrogation, and he did not return. He had a heart attack.”
Hamas suspected Itzik was a pilot because of an eagle-shaped tattoo on his arm.
Itzik Elgarat was kidnapped from his Kibbutz Nir Oz home on October 7, 2023, after Hamas terrorists shot him through his safe room door, wounding his hand.
Danny was on the phone with his brother during the attack and heard him say, “Danny, this is the end, this is the end.” By 12:10 that afternoon, Danny could see his brother’s phone had been located in Gaza.
Intelligence sources told Danny that Itzik had been held alongside Edan Alexander, the US-Israeli soldier recently released from Hamas captivity.
When Itzik failed to return from interrogation, “Edan Alexander asked, ‘Where is Itzik?’ So they said he is gone. Murdered. Had a heart attack under torture during interrogation,” Danny recounted.
After delivering this testimony, Danny’s anger turned toward Israeli leadership.
Guards moved in to remove him as he yelled accusations that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had indirectly funded Hamas through Qatari funds that had been allowed to cross into Gaza prior to the Hamas-led massacre.
Itzik, who had lived in Denmark for years before returning to Nir Oz, was survived by two children living in Denmark, a brother, and two sisters.
Family members described him as a world traveler, nature enthusiast, and devoted Maccabi Tel Aviv football fan who served as the “coolest uncle” to his family.
Hamas returned Itzik’s body in late February as part of a temporary ceasefire deal that saw the release of dozens of hostages, both living and dead. At his funeral in Kibbutz Nir Oz, Danny had proclaimed that Netanyahu “dug his grave.”
