Israel has been caught once again in a lie. For a genocidal state, there are no red lines. No one should be surprised that Israel is using its bogus ‘aid system’ to lure Palestinians into a death trap
Jonathan Cook – jonathan cook.net June 3, 2025
It is entirely unsurprising that Israel has yet again been caught out in a lie – a lie that the BBC once again spread far and wide on its news services.
Israel claimed that it had not fired at starving Palestinians queueing on Sunday morning to get food from one of its highly militarised “aid distribution hubs” – a system Israel imposed on Gaza in place of a long-established and successful aid network run by the United Nations.
More than 30 Palestinians are known to have been killed and dozens more injured in the weekend incident.
Israel blamed Hamas fighters for shooting Palestinian civilians, saying they were trying to stop the crowds from taking food boxes. the Israeli military dished up a video, taken by one of its drones, as supposed proof.
The BBC broadcast that video on its main shows, and then did one of its standard “Israel said, the Palestinians said. Who can really know the truth?” reports of the incident.
The BBC should never have taken Israel’s disinformation seriously – not least because Israeli claims are always shown to be lies when subjected to any serious independent scrutiny. The default position should be that Israel is lying until it can demonstrate convincingly that it is not.
Doctors treating the dead and wounded immediately pointed out that their injuries were consistent with Israeli gunfire. The victims had single shots to the head or chest, in line with targeting by Israeli snipers. Others suffered shrapnel wounds from tank shells. Hamas has no tanks.
Now expert analysis of the video itself – paradoxically confirmed by BBC Verify – shows that the footage was filmed in Khan Younis, far from Rafah, where the Palestinians aid seekers were killed. It is also apparent from the shadows that the video was taken in the evening, not in the morning when the Palestinians in Rafah were shot.
Despite this, the BBC still writes: “The circumstances of this strike are unclear.”
No, it is entirely clear that the Israeli army disseminated lies, and that the BBC lapped up those lies and spread them to its audiences via its main news shows, before tentatively retracting the lies quietly on a live feed on its website.
The reality is that the video doesn’t show Hamas fighters shooting Palestinians to stop them getting aid. Rather it shows a criminal Palestinian gang – of the kind Israel has been cultivating and allying with – looting aid so that it can be sold back to Palestinians on the open market, where prices have been massively inflated by Israel’s blockade on food.
There are no police in Gaza maintaining law and order because Israel kills any Palestinian seen wearing a police uniform.
It was for these very reasons that international aid organisations refused to take part in Israel’s scheme. They understood it was never about distributing humanitarian aid because the UN was best placed to do that.
It was not even chiefly about weaponising aid to lure Palestinians into what are effectively Israeli military bases so that soldiers can use biometric data to snatch any Palestinians they want, disappearing them into Israel’s torture camps, as they have been doing.
Rather it is about giving the appearance of providing food – most of it useless because it is dried staples that need cooking, when there is almost no water or fuel available – while continuing to starve the vast majority of Palestinians. And it is about using the aid hubs as another front for killing Palestinians.
In other words, after taking the aid system out of the UN’s hands, Israel is successfully enfolding the so-called “humanitarian effort” into its genocide.
If that sounds too cynical, mark this. Israel again shot at crowds gathering on Tuesday morning to get aid from one of its “distribution hubs”, killing at least 27 Palestinians and wounding more than 180.
Several witnesses say there was no aid available when they arrived.
There is no way to be too cynical about what Israel is doing. Israel is utterly committed to its genocide – and a genocidal state has no red lines.

volunteer doctors and aid workers have been getting this info out
and its horrific
Sir Keir Starmer was mocked over his pledge to “smash the gangs” by a Tory panellist during tonight’s BBC Question Time. Welsh Tory MS Darren Millar said the “only things he’s smashed are the records” when it comes to the number of migrants crossing the Channel on small boats.
Mr starmer labour is the gangs
It came as the show filmed in Llandudno, north Wales, discussed why the figures are so high. Mr Millar said: “Keir Starmer said he would smash the gangs, the only things he’s smashed are the records in terms of the number of people crossing the Channel.
“We’ve got to put an end to this and that’s why I believe we need another deterrent
JUST SEND THEM HOME
“In fact even Keir Starmer himself is looking at processing in a third country now.
“Of course every step of the way Keir Starmer and the rest of the Labour Party were voting against the measures to deal with the problem og migrants since 1945, that’s why we’re in this mess now and that’s why those migrant numbers are up.”
Host Fiona Bruce jumped in to highlight that no asylum seekers were sent to Rwanda under the Conservative scheme.
Labour MP Alex Davies-Jones then interrupted: “You wasted £700 million.”
Asked if Labour was again blaming global warming Mrs Davies-Jones said: “The people to blame here
are the politicians, many people want the politicians shipped out to Rwands
PS take that twat carl jones with you
“There are no police in Gaza maintaining law and order because Israel kills any Palestinian seen wearing a police uniform.”
This is not true. The entity referred to as “israel” is illegal under international law since it was created over the existing state of Palestine. Therefore it is jews killing Palestinians.
“Israel has yet again been caught out in a lie – a lie that the BBC once again spread far and wide on its news services.”
What ELSE – apart from dissembling & diversion, cringe & crocodile-tears – would you expect from the lickspittle, mealymouthed BBC – perhaps Planet Earth’s PREMIER Disinformation Service –
when it’s presented with incontrovertible proof of the heinous crimes perpetrated by that psychotic Izzy Entity squatting in the Midfle East????
😒
I solved all this story and do not have to listen any more, as long as you don’t think the actual shredded meat matters
“There is no way to be too cynical about what “Israel” is doing. “Israel” is utterly committed to its genocide – and a genocidal state has no red lines.”
Only the Palestinian man in Damascus, Jewlany, is capable of saving the Gazans from the kikes. After all the Palestinians were among the most active to topple the “alawite dictatorship” of Bashar Al Asad in Damascus and install there their man Jewlani, and now it’s the payback time- any action always meets it’s reward.

dirty little bastard
Odd how the surrounding Arab nations (Lebanon/Jordan/Egypt/Syria) show no interest in helping their fellow Arabs or Muslims supposedly being killed in Gaza. Funny, how no Arab nation is offering them refuge or organizing a liberation army to invade Israel & free their arab brethren from Zionist oppression. Its as if they don’t care about their fellow Muslims. Strange, but don’t worry about it, for the humanitarian white man is the one that’s going to help them all
Carl Jones…your opinion and comment?
israhell has employed ISIS+US/UK jew mercenaries .
so we from here cannot distinguish who the shootersare,
for which reason or intencion .
anyway its Satanjahus trick of obscuration ! in this case
the shooter could be a Hamas policeman preventing looting
since all running away from him + nobody falls into his
arms due to respect to Hamas .
Labour commies won some election i saw on my TelaVivision set. i’m 93 year old anglo saxon in Oldham. i accepted ‘the book of the law’ as the new white bible over a year ago after the sent one told me that christianity was formulated by jews to create a favorable environment for jews to prosper in and obtain power over us. he said only ‘the book of the law’ can liberate the white man from these insane egalitarian ethics and humanitarian ideals propounded in us for centuries by these rabbis priests and pastors. he said that nazism and fascism were too weak to win and that only the teachings of Aiwass & ‘the book of the law’ can bring the white man to power and victory. that is why i joined the A.A.
that this Shabab/Daesh/ISIS mercenaries, criminal or not
there runing around in civilian with nearly no military
closes shows everybody that they as only weaponsowners
have nothing to fear .
@hugh henderson
i’m convinced the fate of white humanity depends on the vision of the sent one and whites joining the Army of Aiwass (A.A.)
we need more people like hugh henderson in the world
please dont laugh at carl jones
its so wrong
is there no one that can offer the boy some help ?
