In reply to the discussion: Gaza Humanitarian Foundation begins work amid threats from Hamas [View all]Eko
(9,540 posts)1. Also from that article.
GHF also announces that John Acree has been named its interim executive director, after its previous chief resigned yesterday and indicated that Israeli restrictions were preventing the initiative from being able to adhere to humanitarian principles.
The GHF still needs support and cooperation from existing humanitarian organizations, as it seeks to gain credibility on the ground. That backing has yet to come, though, with the UN and other international organizations in Gaza vowing not to cooperate with the GHF, arguing that its aid initiative violates humanitarian principles by requiring Gazans to walk long distances in order to retrieve aid and limiting distribution to southern Gaza, in what would forcibly displace the Palestinian population.

That's a good one. Israel doesnt provide classified military surveillance footage on demand, ergo no stealing!

Desensitization to injustice and horrible deaths of innocents comes from a feeling of powerlessness.
