Washington Post Publishes Zionist Lies Claiming Israel Is Not Starving Gazans - Hamas Is.

Washington Post Opinion columnist Marc Thiessen wrote an opinion piece full of Israeli lies and talking points that grossly misrepresent the statistics and the facts on the ground. DailyBeastie presents these lies as "pure evil" attempting to hide state-sponsored terrorism against the Palestinian people in the form of using food as a weapon of war, collective punishment and a state tool of extermination and genocide.

"Hunger in Gaza has many authors, but Israel isn’t one of them"

"Israel is doing something no nation has ever done: Feeding the population of the force that attacked it." Washington Post Opinion Columnist Marc Thiessen

(WASH POST) August 7, 2025

THIESSEN: Far from deliberate starvation in Gaza, Israel is doing something no nation has ever done, or even been expected to do: Feed the population of the aggressor force that attacked it while the war is still going on.

“There is no historical precedent for a military providing the level of direct aid to an enemy population that Israel has provided to Gaza,” John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at West Point’s Modern War Institute, recently pointed out.

The United States did not feed Germany and Japan while the war was going on; we forced their armies to surrender and then fed their populations.

Today, despite having been defeated militarily, Hamas refuses to surrender. Hamas fights on because it clearly doesn’t care about the suffering of the people of Gaza.

Indeed, the suffering is central to Hamas’s strategy of survival, which is to weaponize images of Palestinian misery to build international pressure on Israel to stop its military campaign before Hamas is destroyed.

THIESSEN: On Tuesday, Israel delivered 1,829,520 meals to suffering Gazans through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — a nongovernmental organization created this year, with U.S. support, to replace UNRWA, the corrupt, Hamas-infiltrated U.N. relief agency.

That is enough to feed nearly the entire Gazan population.

DAILYBEASTIE: That is a lie. 1,829,520 meals is certainly NOT enough to feed the entire population of Gaza. Marc Thiessen is grossly misrepresenting the facts, considering the fact that the U.S. supplied 92 million meals from May 26 to June 29, 2025.

1.8 million is 1.96% of 92 million. To calculate this, divide 1.8 million by 92 million and multiply by 100: (1,800,000 / 92,000,000) * 100 = 1.9565...%. Rounding to two decimal places gives 1.96%.

That's only 14 days of food in a 64 day period.

That's like you and your family eating once every four days.

The fact is the U.S. supplies 98% of all meals through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation while Israel contributes less than two percent of all meals delivered by the US-Israeli joint venture known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

By the way, the U.S. taxpayer has footed 70% of the total cost of Israel's War on Gaza and is still paying for Israeli war crimes each and every day.

Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen lies for Israel - does he do it for free, or for cash? Ask Jeff Bezos.

According to the Israel Defense Forces’ Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Israel has facilitated the delivery of almost 1.9 million tons of international humanitarian aid to Gaza since the start of the war by land, sea and air — including food, water, flour, baby formula, cooking gas, shelter and medical supplies.

DAILYBEASTIE: That is a gross misrepresentation of the facts. Israel cut off all aid to Gaza from March until May 18, 2025. Israel controls the calorie count in Gaza and has been systematically starving the entire population to death. It is a lie.

ANTHONY AGUILAR: "The sites were designed to lure, bait, aid and kill.

The food that we distribute, nowhere near enough.

To Mr. Johnnie Moore, shame on you for celebrating 92 million meals delivered into Gaza.

Shame on you. It’s a very simple equation: 92 divided by 2.2 million people, divided by 3 million — or, three meals a day. That’s what GHF proclaims.

We’ve been distributing aid since the 26th of May, 26th May to now the 29th of June, 64 days of continuous distribution, and we’ve only managed to distribute 92 million meals.

When you break that down, again, it’s a simple equation.

That’s 14 days of meals.

So, out of 64 days, we’ve provided 14 days of meals to the entire population in the enclave of Gaza. That’s inhumane.

That would be like saying that you only eat every fourth day — you only eat on Thursday, and you only eat on Monday.

And to say that that’s humanitarian?

So, to anyone that says that that’s enough or — not even close to enough.

The narrative of GHF needs help to do the rest, you don’t need help, because you’re not even anywhere close to where we need to be.

The fact is, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is not trained, equipped, manned or staffed to run humanitarian aid and humanitarian assistance of this magnitude.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation needs to be defunded, shut down, and the United Nations needs to be allowed back in, in full scale, supported by the United States, resourced, helped.

Instead of giving the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation $60 million, use that $60 million to support the United Nations mechanism to get 400 sites back to operating, to feed 2.1 million people every day.

That was the capacity of the United Nations.

So, what I saw in Gaza, to me, concerns me as an American."

DAILYBEASTIE: It is absolutely disgusting that Jeff Bezos' Washington Post allowed these Israeli lies to be published in the Washington Post by Marc Thiessen.

These are Netanyahu's words of violence against the Palestinian people oozing from the pen of a Washington Post columnist.

Marc Thiessen is a skillful liar repeating Israeli lies designed to foment support for US-backed Israeli war crimes, land theft, forced relocation, ethnic-cleansing, mass imprisonment, mass murder of two million Palestinians.

Thiessen speaks the evil language of dictatorial mass murderers.

Thiessen echoes Netanyahu's lie that there is no starvation in Gaza; that Israel has been providing plenty food if it weren't for Hamas stealing the food.

Even the New York Times debunked that Israeli lie.

Thiessen claims a child with a pre-existing health condition did not suffer greatly from starvation. What a fucking moron. What did Thiessen think? State-sponsored starvation would improve a child's health condition?

Thiessen talks about the dying child's older brother the way Thiessen's colleagues described Palestinian women as "fat."

What does Thiessen deserve?

After just fifteen minutes of his public appeal to the world, he was assassinated. Journalist Anas al-Sharif and his colleague Mohammed Qreiqea, both correspondents for Al Jazeera, were killed.

No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say

Israel has long restricted aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population. On Saturday, the Israeli military announced new airdrops of aid.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/world/middleeast/hamas-un-aid-theft.html

Unfortunately, that strategy is working. We see its success in the coverage by Western media outlets, such as the New York Times, which recently published a front-page photo of a Gazan mother holding her emaciated child to illustrate the suffering Israel was supposedly inflicting.

It turned out the boy was suffering from “pre-existing health problems” affecting his brain and muscle development, the Times later acknowledged in an editor’s note — though it continued to report he “suffers from severe malnutrition.”

Of course, they failed to show his healthy, well-fed older brother, perhaps because his inclusion would have undermined that assertion.

We see the success of Hamas’s strategy in the response of governments like France, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Spain and Norway, which have declared, in response to the international outcry Hamas has generated, that they will recognize a “State of Palestine” — thus rewarding Hamas for the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack and its refusal to release Israeli hostages.

This success is why Hamas is determined to stop Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation from delivering aid by systematically stealing it.

The United Nations reports that, from May 19 to Aug. 4, a total of 2,545 trucks carrying aid entered Gaza. Of those, 2,310 — or about 90 percent — were “intercepted” (either by hungry people or armed actors) and 31,113 tons of aid was taken.

As Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) explained on the Senate floor, Hamas resells looted supplies on the black market allowing it “to rake in more than half-a-billion dollars in profit — profits that fund Hamas’s campaign of terror against Israel and its own people.”

Meanwhile hundreds of trucks have sat inside Gaza filled with undelivered aid, because the U.N. wouldn’t distribute it — and refused to let the Gaza Humanitarian Fund distribute it. Whose fault is that?

Who else is responsible for Gaza’s suffering? Its neighbors.

The normal way to get humanitarian relief to civilians in wartime is allow them to leave the conflict zone as refugees.

For example, there are more than 5 million Ukrainian refugees in Europe.

Poland has taken in nearly 1 million, while Germany has accepted 1.2 million.

During the civil war in Syria, more than 4.2 million civilians fled that conflict, taken in by Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and other neighboring countries.

It would be easier to feed Gazan civilians if they were in safe third countries.

But Gaza’s neighbors refuse to allow its civilian population to flee.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II declared at the start of the war: “No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt.”

Indeed, Egypt’s response to the suffering of the Gazan people has been to reinforce its border wall with Gaza.

They claim it is because Israel might not allow them to return.

But the real reason is that they do not want to import Gaza’s problems.

Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi admitted as much, when he pointed out that accepting Gazan refugees risks bringing in Hamas operatives, which could use Egypt as a base for terrorist attacks.

Of course, there is a policy of deliberate starvation in Gaza.

It is being carried out by Hamas, which last week released photos of two emaciated Israeli hostages.

The brother of one of the hostages told the U.N. Security Council this week, “As my younger brother, a living skeleton, was forced to speak and dig his grave, the chubby and well-fed hand of a Hamas terrorist entered the frame. Suddenly, Hamas confirmed what we have known for months — the terrorists have plenty of food. The only ones starving in Hamas’s tunnels are the hostages.”

To lay the blame for this situation at Israel’s feet, rather than on Hamas, requires a stunning level of moral blindness — which apparently is plentiful when it comes to what is happening in Gaza.
