  1. >Out of 130 trucks, 73 of them were looted near the Morag Axis, which separates Rafah from Khan Younis and is controlled by the IDF, the report says.

    IDF is disgusting, AGAIN. They allow ISIS(pro Israel gangs) to steal the aid in IDF controlled territory that is under evacuation orders, so that they can blame it on the rest of the Palestinians or on hamas.

    Edit: In case there are some people who don’t know, [Israel/IOF are allowing gangs who are pro Israel to loot the trucks.](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/05/israel-accused-of-arming-palestinian-gang-who-allegedly-looted-aid-in-gaza)

    [And another article.](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-14/gaza-aid-looting-gangs-yasser-abu-shabab-israel-netanyahu-hamas/105501926)

  2. If I’m starving I’m totally going to loot food as soon as I can. But the widespread reselling of aid has been denied by sources even within Israel. It’s a shameful thing to prevent relief of starvation. I wouldn’t even care if the food WAS being looted and resold in a famine. At least the food will find its way into people’s stomachs. Gaza should be flooded with food if the IDF is worried about looting and resale..that’s the best way to devalue it, prevent starvation and prevent anyone from profiting. It’s not like anyone can re-export it from Gaza.

  3. Dear reader, I need you to understand that “food reselling” is an absolutely ridiculous reason to withhold aid. You should feel insulted if someone ever tries to sell you this argument.

    Supply and demand. Flood the area with food, and suddenly food has no value on any market.

    Do not entertain even for a moment that Israel is concerned about food resale. All they have to do to shut down this insecurity, is step back and let humanitarian organization do their work. **Israel is not even expected to supply food**, there are a lot of workers and volunteer willing to do it for them. Israel is enforcing a barbaric siege to prevent *other* actors from delivering food.

  4. These might be just people looting to survive but these also might be the terrorists in Gaza who Israel has armed specifically for doing lootings like these.

    I mean if they are people and not Israeli backed terrorists, can you really blame them for wanting to get aid and even sell aid so they can have money and buy more when they don’t have food? Can we really blame ordinary starving people if they steal? I can’t. I just can’t blame starving people for stealing food. If they stole food of course.

  5. Wait, so you are telling me after a man-made famine, caused by the neighbouring country, where the only people that had regular access to food were gangs supported by the country responsible for said famine – now those gangs are using their superior power to steal the food and sell it on the black market to enrich themselves further on top of the monetary and weapons support they have received from their foreign sponsor country? And that foreign sponsor will now use this fact to further their narrative of how their kill zone slaughter corridor aid distribution system is the only one that “works”?

    Man, Bibi needs to consider becoming a script writer in Hollywood once his lust for children’s blood has finally abated.

  6. Hopefully there is enough pressure is on Israel that this shouldn’t be an issue for much longer… Although I’m not holding my breath.

    They need to flood the strip with food, aid and medical supplies. If there is enough of these in the strip, looting and selling bits of food will no longer be worth it.

  7. So the IDF, who controls where and when and how the trucks go into gaza LET them get looted? Because i just don’t see any other way that this could happen while the mighty IDF was around…

  8. Israel is not responsible for aid distribution. They can only bring aid just past their controlled border area.

    It is up to aid drivers (UN or otherwise) to distribute the aid, and they are all pretty much Hamas approved government employees.

    Blaming Israel for aid diversions will just incentivize Israel to resume GHF methodology or bring more Gazan territory under their direct military control.

    Don’t forget, the media blamed Israel for alleged violence when they were allegedly trying to maintain order around GHF sites. So, here, Israel does not overstep, lets the predictable looting happen, and, rest assured, the media will once again blame Israel for not bringing about order via violence.

    Wake up people… You cannot expect Israel to maintain order without the use of violence in a war-zone where Hamas is trying to kill IDF soldiers. So you can either have Israel force order upon the aid distribution process (GHF method), or let the aid distribution process continue to be lawless like it was in the past.

    Lose-lose situation for Israel, when it is actually Hamas that perpetuates the cycle of violence. The West keeps falling for Hamas propaganda and biased anti-Israeli takes.

  9. Mind you, The IDF has already said they have no proof that the truck lootings were performed by Hamas, and this all happened near areas they have complete control over. If you for a second believe that the IDF is too weak to enforce control over a fucking 41 kilometer piece of land and that Khamas actually poses any form of challenge or threat to the IDF or Israel as a state, then you are a god damned idiot.

  10. I don’t give a fuck if it gets eluded and sold by Hamas or Isis or whatever. 

    As long as the food is getting in there fucking whatever. 

    Really, the UN should be in there handing out the food. However because Israel is the most evil Nation on the planet, there’s no one they won’t fucking slaughter. Including UN peacekeepers combating mass starvation.

    The rest of the world seriously needs to move in and occupy israel. Start Mass arrests. Lock up every single Israeli politician. Start the war crimes trials. Start sending the Israelis back to fucking Europe where they came from. Take Israeli assets and transfer them to Palestinians as restitution for a century of colonialism and genocide. Makes sire no one ever tried this fucking shit again.
