by Muhammad Shehada Part 4 - Gangs and scarcity are responsible for looting While Israel failed to show any evidence of Hamas stealing aid, the only documented organised systematic looting happening in Gaza right now is by Israeli-backed criminal gangs who enjoy full protection from the Israeli army, according to the Washington Post, Financial Times, Ha’aretz , and the UN. A UN memo said these gangs established a “military complex” in the heart of Rafah after Israel fully depopulated the city. Humanitarian officials say the looting often happens right in front of Israeli troops and tanks, less than 100m away, who take no action until the local police arrive, with Israeli troops then opening fire at them. Israel not only provides protection and backing to these criminal gangs but has created the perfect conditions for looting to thrive through scarcity and a collapsing state of law and order. Currently, a single bag of wheat flour sells for about 1,500 NIS ($425), which makes it profita...

The Jimmy Dore Show   The massacres of Palestinians at southern Gaza aid sites established by the Israel-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are occurring by design, and not just the consequence of the “fog of war.” Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss discuss the daily pattern of drawing starving Gazans to the aid sites, denying them food and then firing on the crowds to disperse that has been playing out in recent weeks. 

Middle East Eye  In a segment released on Tuesday, the UK's Channel 4 News reported on the rise of the Israel-backed militia in Gaza led by former drug trafficker Yasser Abu Shabab. Reportedly numbering around 300 men according to Channel 4 , the militia grew infamous in Gaza over the past year as residents accused the gang of looting aid trucks entering the strip in areas under Israel's military control. For months, many questioned how Israeli forces could let the gang loot aid in areas under its control without intervening. Since then, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu admitted his government was supporting the gang. Abu Shabab has now been placed in charge of aid distribution at sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, where several shootings of Palestinians seeking aid have taken place over recent weeks.

Israeli attacks on educational, religious and cultural sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territory amount to war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, UN Commission says.     globinfo freexchange Israel has obliterated Gaza’s education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip, part of a widespread and relentless assault against the Palestinian people in which Israeli forces have committed war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, said in a new report [yesterday].

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
