The establishment media would have covered for Hamas anyway, but perhaps the jihad group’s leaders were nonetheless aware that it might be tougher to demonize Israel among its own people, as well as on the world stage, while accepting Israeli humanitarian aid.
“Hamas turns away truckloads of Israeli humanitarian aid destined for Gaza,” by Eytan Halon, Jerusalem Post, May 16, 2018 (thanks to Peter):
Hamas turned away two large truckloads of Israeli humanitarian aid intended to relieve medical shortages in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
The IDF said it coordinated the transfer of eight truckloads of vital medical equipment through the Kerem Shalom crossing due to severe humanitarian conditions in the Hamas-controlled enclave, with hospitals struggling to treat Palestinians wounded in clashes on the Israel-Gaza border on Monday and Tuesday.
Hamas accepted four trucks of aid supplied by the Palestinian Authority and two trucks supplied by UNICEF. But two truckloads of medical aid provided by the IDF were turned away when the origin of the equipment became apparent.
In addition to 53 tons of medical equipment set to be transported into Gaza this week via the crossing, the increased Israeli aid included more than 14,000 units of intravenous infusions, 40 medical basins, 20 medical examination couches, 25 infusion stands, 85,000 disinfectant pads and 12,500 bandages.
The transfer was facilitated by the IDF in coordination with the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and the Gaza District Coordination and Liaison office….

Hamas is simply surfing the wave of Western self debasement and cultural suicide.
They really have to do nothing other than be patient and still be standing when the West collapses.

Headlines: “Israel Refuses To Deliver Aid To Starving Civilians”
R Russell says
The people of Gaza have a government that uses them as human shields and when they get injured refuses medical aid to help them heal.
Islam is a religion of death.

Its time to clean them out and ship them back to Jordan

Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Evil fascist zionist are rascals to the core. you carryingout genocide killings of palestinians and now bring truckloads to mock the deads. Did their wicked and unjust satan god (holy spirit) tell thém that they can bring deads back to life?evil zionists and their mithraist christian backers like savage mad devil trump will Sûrely be casted into hottest lake of hellfire burning together with holy spirit who inspires them
steveA56 says
That’s brilliant Ibrahim.
I can’t imagine a more hilarious exposure of the ignorant, illiterate, rabid, howling, demented islamic savages such as you embody.
Funny (peculiar)
R Russell says
Ibrahim,
Try to see that Israel would not have killed anyone if they hadn’t been sorely provoked.
I suppose if some of the Hamas injured die, they can blame it on Israel instead of blaming themselves for refusing aid.
Some Jewish youth in London today as a mark of respect for the Hamas dead, said Kaddish for them.
J D S says
Well there’s old Ibrahim again…. Yes Ibrahim “THE” GOD will bring dry bones back to life as he has done before but this time they will have flesh and along with an army chosen by Jesus Will drive the Muslim race into the Lake of Fire but not before every knee bows..Christian and non Christian like. EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW and recognize Jesus as Lord of all.
Ibrahim…I suggest that you and your kind save yourselves from that ever burning lake of fire by reprinting. You will never be able to destroy or enslave the Jews. What Islam has been doing in recent times is driving Islam down….ISIS was the start now everything is downhill for Islam… in one way migration has put Muslims in a closer reach..Hmmm did God plan it that way??? Just wondering.
Aren’t you ashamed to be among the most hated people and religion on earth. Repent!.The day of the Lord is at hand.

What Ibrahim itace muhammed is saying, of course, is that Israelis are not allowed to defend against Jihad terror.
Bernard J Sussman says
It is very uncommon for one belligerent army to provide food and medicine to enemy casualties while the hostilities still continued, And here the Palestinian Authority rejected the delivery even though its own supplies were low, meaning the Palestinians would rather let their own people suffer than acknowledge even a small humanitarian act on the part of the Israelis.
As for talk about children injured and killed; this was a planned act of violence – a veritable invasion, a violent incursion across the Israeli border. Arab parents who brought or allowed their children into this battle scene have ONLY THEMSELVES to blame.
The leaders of the Palestinians are playing for the “optics”. Rather than trying to make Gaza and the West Bank prosperous and comfortable, they continually mobilize the entire population for unending conflict with Israel. With this sort of policy the Palestinian state cannot survive.
mummymovie says
Nail on the head, except for the fact that the palestinians aren’t simply allowing their own people to suffer; rather, they are “martyring” them, or intentionally planning their suffering and deaths for the sake of continuing to prop-up the illusion of victimhood to the international media.
What they’re attempting here is quite a feat, but still right out of the jihad playbook: hallmark victimology subterfuge- the manufacturing of a combination military operation / PR stunt.
And, as usual, the mainstream media is lapping it right up.

Roderick MacUalraig says
This is how the Fakestinians roll. Except everyone knows how much aid they already receive from Israel. And the fat, sleepy American taxpayers. And yet they hate us all.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Roderick, you are all worships of wicked and unjust satan god (holy spirit) the cursed one -fascist evil zionists and filthy mithraist christians. All of you will be casted into hottest lake of hellfire burning together with holy spirit who inspires you commit genocide and applaud it. Idiots!!
Roderick MacUalraig says
I don’t worship anything, Ibrahim. My view of the intelligent force that created this place is that, if it is something that exists, it doesn’t require or desire worship.
My view of all the Abrahamic religions is that they’re supremacist at their core. You and your co-religionists are certainly the fastest to let people that don’t see things as you do know they’re condemned to hell fire, and you’re happy to accelerate their trip to the place you imagine waits for them.
At least Christians will let you live unmolested even while they share the same wicked belief towards humans that don’t accept their version. The Judeo-Christian culture is certainly much more tolerant, and it’s benefited from the evolution of its consciousness by gaining great advancements in human rights, science & technology, art & music, etc…
Also, I’ve never taken part in a genocide. I have actually worked very hard with some friends of mine to try to prevent one, and I’m very proud of that. On that note, do you know what ideology has inspired the largest genocide of humans in all of history according to historians?
I feel sad for you, Ibrahim. But you’re certainly entertaining. Aloha.
Troybeam says
Give them what they want: they want to refuse help then stop giving it to them.
stop giving these people food, water, medical and let them fend for themselves, after all they believe they are superior over all other humans therefore they can fix their issues with all the intelligence they possess that includes no matter who’s running things they get nothing, zip zilch nada.
Garfield says

steveA56 says
I have to disagree to some extent.
If you consider the innocent young children who will suffer most if essential aid is withheld, then they get to claim a moral and a propaganda victory on account of those kids. Just what they want.
And as the innocent young ones are turned into vicious jihadis like their elders, who themselves were once innocent babes-in-arms, before they were armed soldiers of allah, I have to admit that the real evil is in the inculcation of the diabolical tenets of jihadist islam, not in the muslims themselves who are all simply its’ victims.
Or are they?
Indiana Tom says
The Muslims and Liberals will demonize Israel no matter what Israel does. The Muslims are not simply the victims. They just play the Taqiyya card very well.
Troybeam says
Jihadist Islam, all of Islam is jihadist, read the dumb book as my college teacher kept saying so I am passing that statement along. Jihad is the Koran its a requirement under sharia law there is no getting away from the Islamic promoted death teachings which they pass along to the younger generation be it in the middle east or whatever nation they reside in, so to question the children and growing up and learning about jihad what about in womb, hearing the speech from parents about hate and so forth is that not like reading, listening to music when child is in womb?
steveA56 says
Tom and Troybeam, I take your points.
Every jihadist starts out as an innocent child; then many of them become victims of Islamic doctrines implanted in them while they are at the most receptive age.
Victims go on to become victimizers. The endless cycle repeats again. If you want to get off the bus then you get thrown under it. The penalty for apostasy.
We all know this; the Israelis facing threats of destruction know it.
Somehow we need to get through to the leftists and ‘moderate’ Muslims that are in denial about this, that we face an existential threat to our western civilization. It’s time to wake up and spread the news.
Maybe it is most effective to focus mainly on the Islamic doctrines and their malignancy and what they are leading us into.
We are not racist bigots, just realists.
Troybeam says
We are not racist bigots, just realists, best comment made.
Here’s another thought about in womb: 1400+ years of the same mentality passed from generation to generation, some where in there is a genetic factor to the behavior of Muslims. In the time in which humanity changes Islam remains the same in its teachings.
gravenimage says
No genetic factor–just teaching the horrors of this vicious creed.
Walter Sieruk says
This alone exposes that Hamas has no concern or interest in helping the Arabs /Muslims, the “Palestinians,” of that specific ares with humanitarian aid.. This shows that Hamas is only interested in engaging and vicious murderous violence against the citizens who compose the State of Israel.
gravenimage says
Yep.
Rarely says
Sure they’re victims. They are just a tad confused as to who the victimizer is.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
walter,you mean when your wicked Masters carryout mass killings it is ok because your wicked and unjust satan god (holy spirit) says when evil Jews spill the bloods of non-jews they are making sacrifice to pagan Yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods according to obnoxious talmud?
Stacy Girl says
Denying the Spirit of God is denial of the True God. Islam is the deficient, immoral, and demeaning cult that denies God. Your joy in death and suffering pays homage to Satan. When you talk about the lake of fire, know that it has been prepared for unrepentant evildoers such as yourself. Seek the truth, repent , and free yourself from the devil’s grasp.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Stacy girl, that entity you Call holy spirit as spirit ôf God or breath or voice of God is exactly the satan the cursed one created by God, but he revolted. Almighty God is the creator of all, including all spirits like satan/ demons and obedient angels.
steveA56 says
Hi Ibrahim,
Do you have any evidence for all this?
Also, if Satan, or holy spirit, was created by God but revolted and turned evil, surely the omnipotent God could destroy him and all his demons; restoring the planet to a kind of prelapsarian utopia?
Unless of course he does not exist?
gravenimage says
Ibrahim itace muhammed has said before that believing in a loving God is “the Satan”. *Ugh*.
Kepha says
It’s clear you don’t know the Bible at all.
Niemoller says
Hamas-CAIR is the political wing of a jihadist organization. Jihadists enslave, rape and murder non-Muslims in the name of God. They do so every day in diverse places around the globe.
Theologically, the worst sin is doing evil in the name of God. Therefore, according to moral logic, either jihadists are the most evil people to God, or God blesses major crimes against non-Muslims. Which is it, Hamas-CAIR?
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Gazan women have one of the highest obesity rates in the world!
WPM says
“Gazan women have one of the highest obesity rates in the world” when your “men” treat you worst then a barn yard livestock ,dress you in head to toes cloth coffin ,expect you to grovel at their feet ,food might be the only thing that gives you pleasure in your life. I would expect the average Gaza “man” would show more love and care to his family car then his tent wearing dumpy wife. It does not keep her from bring her little children to the violent riots at the fences to show them how to behave like true followers of Mohammed.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Gazan men are not too far behind in the obesity stat. The point was not to underline the poor treatment of women there but to prove that they are not deprived of anything.

J D S says
The elites of Islam are killing their own…Get rid of them and Islam
??? might???? be more stable or the people ???might??? decide
They don’t want the “ranting, raving murdering,enslaving” Islam, doubtful but…who knows
I can’t remember his name but one of the high clerics or someone of that status said that if the apostate law had been removed from Islam then Islam would not exist. (not an exact quote but close)
KJW says
That was al-Qaradawi said…that if it weren’t for fear Islam wouldn’t still exist. Yet, he also said that he thinks the apostasy law is good.
Another thing he said was, “No peace can be made between us [Muslims] and the non-believers. This is what our holy book says. This is what Allah says.”
Previous MP in the Egyptian Parliament, Ragab Hilal Hamada said:
“The Quran directly commands us to commit terrorism, so why are we afraid of it?”
Hassan al Banna, co-founder of the Muslim Brotherhood said: “Waging warfare against the infidels is the highest expression of fidelity.” I guess the newspapers don’t talk about that as politicians have let them infiltrate… The Muslim Students Association is one of their sister groups.
Coach Martin says
If Hamas was Israel and Israel was Hamas, Hamas would turn off the water and power. Hamas would obliterate the launching sites of rockets and destroy the synagogues. Fortunately that is not the case and we can continue this farcical stand-off for decades.
