🧨 A Lie That Starved a Nation
I’ve written hundreds of Substack posts. I’ve shown you evidence, interviews, photos, and videos. But this post — this one right here — might be the most damning of all. Because it doesn’t just expose a war crime. It exposes the lie that was used to justify all of it.
For TWO DAMN YEARS, Israel has claimed that Hamas was stealing humanitarian aid. They said this lie so many times that it started to sound like truth. Joe Biden repeated it. Antony Blinken repeated it. The New York Times printed it. The United Nations was smeared with it. Israel used it as the core rationale to starve a population, block UN food convoys, and replace the entire global aid apparatus in Gaza with their own deadly scam: the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
And now, it's confirmed. The whole thing was false.
📰 New York Times: “No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid”
On July 26, 2025, the New York Times quietly published a story with the headline:
“No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say”
According to the report, “The Israeli military never found proof that the Palestinian militant group had systematically stolen aid from the United Nations, the biggest supplier of emergency assistance to Gaza for most of the war, according to two senior Israeli military officials and two other Israelis involved in the matter.”
The article goes on to say that, “the U.N. aid delivery system, which Israel derided and undermined, was largely effective in providing food to Gaza’s desperate and hungry population.”
So not only was the theft a lie, but the system they replaced — the one run by the U.N. — was actually working.
And yet Israel shut it down anyway.
📰 Reuters: USAID Also Found No Evidence — And Blamed Israel
Just one day earlier, Reuters broke a story based on an internal U.S. government analysis conducted by the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance at USAID.
Their conclusion?
“It found ‘no reports alleging Hamas’ benefited from U.S.-funded supplies, according to a slide presentation of the findings seen by Reuters.”
That’s the United States government admitting this.
It gets worse.
That same analysis found that at least 44 of 156 aid disruptions were caused directly or indirectly by Israeli military actions, including bombings and forced use of dangerous delivery routes.
Reuters confirmed that these findings were shared with “USAID’s inspector general’s office and State Department officials involved in Middle East policy.”
A State Department spokesperson claimed there was “video evidence” of Hamas looting aid — but “provided no such videos.”
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly then took it to a new level of absurdity by claiming the analysis “was likely produced by a deep state operative” seeking to “discredit President Donald Trump's humanitarian agenda.”
This isn’t just dishonest. It’s deranged.
🍞 Meanwhile, the Hunger Continued
In the words of Georgios Petropoulos, a former U.N. official in Gaza who oversaw aid coordination with Israel:
“For months, we and other organizations were dragged through the mud by accusations that Hamas steals from us.”
He continued:
“If the U.N. had been taken at face value months ago, we wouldn’t have wasted all this time and Gazans wouldn’t be starving and being shot at trying to feed their families.”
Because while Israel lied, people died.
While the United States parroted those lies, people starved.
And now both governments are trying to quietly move on.
🔥 We Already Had the Truth
Remember what we published here just yesterday?
🎖️ Israeli Soldier: 1,000+ Aid Trucks Burned
🟥 BREAKING: An Israeli soldier just became a whistleblower and admitted the IDF BURNED over 1,000 aid trucks meant for Gaza and buried what was left in deep pits to hide the evidence.
The North Star with Shaun King is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
A whistleblower inside the Israeli military confessed that over 1,000 trucks of humanitarian aid were confiscated and burned — then buried in the sand to hide the evidence. Food wasn’t just blocked. It was destroyed.
🇺🇸 American Green Beret: “I Witnessed War Crimes”
Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar, a former U.S. Green Beret, gave testimony to the BBC after working at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. He said:
“Without question I witnessed war crimes by the Israeli Defence Forces, without a doubt. Using artillery rounds, mortar rounds, tank rounds into unarmed civilians is a war crime.”
He added:
“In my entire career I have never witnessed the level of brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population — an unarmed, starving population.”
That’s what the United States and Israel built to replace the U.N.
That’s what they called a humanitarian operation.
🤬 Why Does Anyone Still Believe the Israeli Government?
Let’s just list the lies we’ve all been told:
Babies beheaded
Children put into ovens
Hamas bunkers under every hospital
Churches and mosques as weapons depots
UN staff participated in October 7
Hamas stole all the aid
And now every one of those lies has been discredited. So I ask the question that burns inside of me every single day:
Why does anyone still believe a single word the Israeli government says?
They’ve lied. Over and over and over again. About everything.
And yet the media keeps quoting them. The U.S. government keeps funding them. And millions of people are still dying, starving, and suffering because of it.
