(New York Post) John Spencer and Arsen Ostrovsky - This week, the world was fed another lie: that Israeli troops deliberately opened fire on Palestinians waiting for food in Gaza. The usual chorus responded on cue - crying "massacre" and "war crime" - while much of the media once again acted as an amplifier for Hamas propaganda. The reality couldn't be more different. Not only was there no massacre, but the Israel Defense Forces were actively securing a humanitarian corridor to enable deliveries by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.-Israeli initiative designed to get aid directly to Palestinian civilians. In its first full week of operation, the GHF distributed nearly 7 million meals, on average a million a day. Tens of thousands of Gazans received food safely and without incident - no Hamas middlemen, no inflated black market and no political strings. This is the first serious, large-scale aid operation that undermines Hamas's control over the people of Gaza. And Hamas is panicking. So Hamas has responded. It sent armed operatives to provoke chaos at aid sites, firing on civilians attempting to access food and deliberately manufacturing volatility. Hamas then flooded social media and compliant news outlets with false casualty counts, doctored images and fabricated narratives - all to paint Israel as the aggressor and itself as the victim. This is textbook Hamas strategy. Yes, the suffering in Gaza is real. But its cause is not Israel's military operations or efforts to rescue the hostages Hamas still holds; it's Hamas's own strategy of exploitation and terror. Those who truly care about the welfare of Palestinian civilians must support a system that bypasses Hamas altogether. That system is the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. That's why Hamas is trying to sabotage this initiative. Supporting the GHF means breaking Hamas's grip on Gaza civilians. John Spencer is chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point. Arsen Ostrovsky is CEO of the International Legal Forum. 2025-06-05 00:00:00Full Article
The U.S.-Israel Gaza Aid Plan Is Working - Which Is Why Hamas Is Spreading Lies about It
