Israël blokkeert Gaza-hulp ondanks intl. druk
Bullshit van de #NOS, uit https://nos.nl/liveblog/2564409-buitenlandministers-duitsland-frankrijk-en-vk-israel-moet-hulp-doorlaten#UPDATE-container-85635236:
❝
Minister van Defensie Katz zou willen dat de hulpleveringen worden hervat. Wel vindt hij dat de hulpgoederen door Israëlische of Amerikaanse militairen moeten worden uitgedeeld, omdat het anders de positie van Hamas zou versterken.
Maar de onlangs aangetreden stafchef van het leger, Eyal Zamir, gaf aan dat hij niets ziet in het plan om hulp te distribueren door zijn militairen. Minister Smotrich van Financiën viel daarop naar hem uit en zei dat het leger niet ging over welke missie ze wel of niet deden. Als Zamir dit niet kan realiseren, kon hij vertrekken, volgens Smotrich.
❞
DE NOS VERDRAAIT HET NIEUWS WEER EENS - MET 180 GRADEN.
Het bovenstaande klinkt namelijk of Katz en Smotrich de humanitaire hulp aan Gaza willen hervatten en Zamir niet, maar het tegendeel is het geval.
Bijvoorbeeld uit https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2391012/smotrich-threatens-to-bring-down-govt-if-aid-is-allowed-to-reach-hamas.html (nadruk middels hoofdletters aangebracht door mij):
❝
During the meeting, Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said that Israel will be forced to resume the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza within two weeks.
However, he added that, unlike the past, the aid will not reach Hamas as it will be distributed by IDF soldiers or US companies.
Zamir responded by saying that “IDF soldiers will not distribute humanitarian aid AND WE WILL NOT STARVE GAZA.”
Smotrich erupted at Zamir, telling him that he is responsible for carrying out the decision of the political echelon and if he doesn’t, someone else will be brought in to do so.
❞
Precies één week geleden liet Katz er al geen misverstand over bestaan dat hij geen humanitaire hulp naar Gaza wil toelaten, uit https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/04/16/israeli-defense-minister-confirms-israel-hayom-report-on-gaza-aid-distribution-plan/:
❝
After receiving this criticism, Katz clarified, "As I noted in my statement, Israel's policy is clear, and no humanitarian aid is going to enter Gaza.
Preventing humanitarian aid to Gaza is one of the central pressure tools that prevents Hamas from using this means against the population, in addition to other measures Israel is taking – and it's unfortunate that some are trying to mislead.
No one is going to bring any humanitarian aid into Gaza in the current reality, and there are no preparations to bring in any such aid.
I emphasized that regarding the future, we need to build a mechanism using civilian companies as a tool that won't allow Hamas access to this issue in the future as well."
❞
Vandaag gaat Smotrich nog een stap verder in https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2391012/smotrich-threatens-to-bring-down-govt-if-aid-is-allowed-to-reach-hamas.html:
❝
“THIS GOV’T HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST:” Smotrich Threatens To Bring Down Gov’t If Aid Is Allowed To Reach Hamas
April 23, 2025
❞
De internationale druk op Katz neemt toe (steeds meer westerse regeringsleiders beseffen dat meer dan 2 miljoen hongerdoden, waarvan ca. 1 miljoen kinderen, ook hen persoonlijk zal worden aangerekend).
Maar Katz weet dat als je de distributie van hulpgoederen door ervaren hulporganisaties (de door Israël verboden UNRWA voorop) laat uitvoeren, je niet kunt voorkómen dat dat ook leden en aanhangers van Hamas daarvan zullen profiteren.
Zamir beseft echter dat de IDF (Israeli Destruction Forces) niet de (juiste) mensen en middelen in Gaza heeft om voedsel te distribueren om daarmee massale sterfte te voorkómen. Hij weet dat, in dat geval, zeer binnenkort zéker honderdduizenden kinderen zullen sterven van de honger, dorst en uitputting, en wil niet dat "zijn" IDF daar de schuld van krijgt.
Terwijl voor velen theoretisch mogelijke hulp *nu* al te laat zal blijken, gaat het Zwarte Pieten (als ik dat zo mag noemen) "vrolijk" verder.

Israel is fighting Hamas, which steals humanitarian aid, uses it to rebuild its war machine, and hides behind civilians.
We categorically reject the claim of “politicization of humanitarian aid” as stated in the E3’s statement.
Article 70 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions requires aid when “the civilian population is not adequately supplied.” During the 42-day ceasefire, 25,000 aid trucks entered Gaza. Israel is monitoring the situation on the ground, and there is no shortage of aid in Gaza.
According to Article 23 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, a side is not obliged to allow in aid if it is “likely to assist the military or economic efforts of the enemy.” Hamas hijacked the humanitarian aid to rebuild its terror machine.
The E3 statement fails to mention the most important thing: Hamas is the one targeting Israeli civilians while hiding behind Palestinian civilians. Instead, the E3 statement chose to accuse Israel of strikes on humanitarian personnel and healthcare facilities — this is morally twisted and wrong. As the war against Hamas continues, Israel is taking all necessary precautions. [...]

[...] In cases where incidents occur, as tragically happens in any war, the IDF conducts thorough and transparent investigations and draws the necessary conclusions. All condemnations should be directed at Hamas, which hides in hospitals and behind civilians.
Unbelievably, the E3 statement addresses only in passing the fact that Hamas still holds 59 hostages in inhumane conditions underground — starving and torturing them. This is unacceptable and inhumane.
The so-called balance that the E3 statement is trying to create between Israel and Hamas is ethically outrageous.
Hamas started this war, and Hamas is responsible for its continuation and for the suffering of both Palestinians and Israelis.
The war can end tomorrow if the hostages are released and Hamas lays down its weapons.

The Facts: Lazzarini repeatedly dismisses Israel's allegations against UNRWA as "disinformation" while simultaneously admitting that UNRWA "does not have police, military or intelligence capabilities" that would allow UNRWA to avoid hiring Hamas operatives. He has not been able to refute the fact that no United Nations investigations were launched to look into the allegation of extensive Hamas infiltration of UNRWA. Perhaps counting on the fact that most people haven't the time or means to verify the facts for themselves, Lazzarini's repeated allegations of disinformation are a transparent ploy to discredit revelations of UNRWA's own lapses and misconduct. Such was the case, for example, surrounding the purchase of Google ads in September 2024, in which Lazzarini levelled accusations against Israeli "disinformation" which Google later found to be completely unfounded. The fact is that Lazzarini is himself the one who regularly disseminates actual disinformation, and not only of the type which was described above. Throughout the war, he and the organization he runs repeatedly published statements and social media posts parroting figures from Hamas-run ministries [...]

As we stand at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, it is impossible to remain silent while, once again, innocent people are being killed purely because of insane pseudo-imperial megalomania.
We express our absolute solidarity with the citizens and residents of the free, independent, and sovereign Ukraine and with all Russians who have the courage to oppose this war.
At this moment, the free and democratic world must show if it has learned its lesson from the passivity of the 1930s. Today, it is clear that any symptom of indifference is a sign of complicity.
