Palestinians lie about Israeli “war crimes” to serve their political agendas, and their liberal media allies play along and add a veneer of credibility to those lies so they can smear Israel.

This has been going on for years, but it has grown far worse since the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks. It is now on prominent display with the coverage of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the aid group that is trying to actually deliver aid to civilians, in juxtaposition to the United Nations model of letting Hamas steal aid on a large scale. The GHF is thus hated by Hamas and hated by the U.N., as its very operations break the U.N.’s aid cartel in Gaza.

There has been a steady stream of media reports designed to make readers think that Israel is gunning down Palestinian civilians waiting for aid from the GHF. Take the Associated Press, which reported that “a hospital said another 20 people died in shootings while seeking aid.” The outlet cites information such as this from “officials at Nasser Hospital” and other “health officials” in multiple stories that it links in that report, disregarding that “hospital officials” in Gaza have been shown to be collaborating with Hamas when it comes to keeping hostages and serving as cover for Hamas compounds.

These liberal media outlets continue to adopt Palestinian and U.N. claims as fact while disregarding the Israeli military and even GHF claims as denials, putting the onus on them while they whitewash the fact that they are running with claims from terrorists and their allies. This led to, for example, a Washington Post report that “At least 31 people were killed,” according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas, “when Israeli troops opened fire on crowds making their way to collect aid. The outlet had to issue a correction claiming, “The Post didn’t give proper weight to Israel’s denial and gave improper certitude about what was known about any Israeli role in the shootings.”

WHAT’S THE STATUS OF THE 251 HOSTAGES TAKEN ON OCT. 7?

In reality, Hamas is attacking Gazans seeking aid and people involved in the GHF aid process to kill the aid program and restore control of aid to its allies at the U.N. The GHF said that its Palestinian aid workers were attacked by Hamas in June, resulting in at least five deaths, and two American aid workers were injured in a grenade attack this past Saturday. While Hamas uses violence to try to stop this aid, outlets such as the Associated Press cite Hamas “health officials” for shootings that may or may not have even happened.

This is how the game is played. These liberal outlets never “give proper weight to Israel’s denial” and give “improper certitude about what was known” based on the word of Hamas “health officials” and a U.N. aid racket that has a clear incentive to lie about the GHF’s aid operations. They didn’t learn after the hospital bombing lie, and they evidently haven’t learned from these repeated, unverified claims of aid shootings either.
