Thank goodness they figured out a way to get some aide to the people. It seems like the world is not going to do any to help the people of Gaza. They must unite to help themselves. They have found a way to protect and distribute the aide that does come in which is great. Israel still controls which tricks get through the check points. Israel also has the ability to drop bombs on these families and they have no defense against that. They took a tremendous risk to organize this distribution. Praying to God that they will be safe. Praying the countries of the world will rise up to get food in

I hope this group can protect themselves. The Israeli's would obviously be happy to kill them.

Listen to this and learn from it, USA. In our nation people are being attacked and disappeared by ICE illegal actions, who roam in packs in our streets. They violate RICO laws against organized intimidation to harm as effectively as any organized crime gang or army. Do we need to form our own zones and transports for protection, our own neighborhood sactuary locations on every block and in our business zones? Will lookout volunteers need to warn people with airhorn alarms and to surround ICE agents when they get out of their cars and vans? Let's learn from these Palistinian Resisters and take action as our reaction to stop the violence here and also support Resisters in Palestine and its neighboring nations. Press the UN to expand the UN Military Presence in their fort at the border with Lebanon, to use military from all UN Nations to assure that border crossings are open to allow aide trucks access. The wolrd can help with that, now.

Thank you, Sharif. This is a rare breath of positive news. The criminals who have financed, planned and engineered all of this suffering will be held to account. I don't know when, and I don't know how it will come to pass, but it must; the west will not do it, but InshAllah someone will, and InshAllah it will be soon.

Hello, Sharif,

What have you heard on the finding of opioid pills in the bags of flour as published by Middle East Eye?

It baffles my mind that we are funding this criminal organization to the tune of 30 million dollars. The insanity, greed and cruelty continues...heaven help us.

From what I could see these all look like bags of flour. Having bread to finally eat is great but people also need water, protein, oil to cook the flour in. So many are homeless and in need of the bare basics, even effective tents, to shelter in away from the heat.

When will the rest of the world stand up to Israel and the United States and help end this genocide. Do they not have a soul?
