John Spencer reminds us that Israel’s supply of humanitarian aid to an enemy population has no precedent in the history of warfare. More on this can be found here: “Israel’s wartime Gaza aid is historically unprecedented – opinion,” by John Spencer, Jerusalem Post, July 28, 2025:
Many things can be true at the same time.
Flooding Gaza with humanitarian aid is the right, moral thing to do. A military must balance its operational objectives with humanitarian imperatives, including the prevention of starvation and the protection of civilian life. A military can restrict the flow of humanitarian supplies if the enemy is diverting them for its own purposes. And it is also true that civilian populations are routinely moved out of combat zones to reduce harm and ensure more effective delivery of humanitarian assistance.
These are all basic truths of war, well established in both military practice and international law.
But there is another truth that must be acknowledged. One that is rarely said out loud, despite being plain and provable: There is no historical precedent for a military providing the level of direct aid to an enemy population that Israel has provided to Gaza.
This aid has taken place:
While the war is ongoing
While the enemy, Hamas, continues to control territory
And while that enemy is still fighting, launching attacks, and holding hostages
Israel is delivering fuel, food, medicine, and water into territory still under the command of the very group that murdered its civilians on October 7, that continues to fire rockets into Israeli towns, and that openly declares it will repeat those atrocities again and again.
There is no precedent for how this should be done
There is no precedent for this. None….
It is easy to criticize Israel for the humanitarian costs of its war. It is much harder to hold Hamas accountable for embedding its fighters in schools, hospitals, and civilian neighborhoods. And harder still to acknowledge when a military is doing something not just legal, but extraordinary.
The truth matters. And the truth is that no military in modern history has delivered more aid to an enemy population during active war than the Israel Defense Forces have to Gaza. That fact stands, regardless of whether anyone wants to say it out loud.
Let’s repeat that, over and over again, to those who keep maligning Israel for not providing enough humanitarian aid: no military in modern history has delivered more aid to an enemy population during active war than the Israel Defense Forces.
What about the Russians in Ukraine?
Since the beginning of the war there 3 years ago they have received as REFUGEES no less than 3 MILLION people who have what?
Who have Ukrainian NATIONALITY.
As legal refugees,receiving aid and support,that is humanitarian.
The Russian MILITARY did not prevent them from entering Russia.
In fact Russia has the largest number of Ukrainian refugees,more than Poland and Germany and the other countries.
In the case of Russia,it has occupied some 30% of UKRAINE.
According to international law,it has the OBLIGATION to make sure the 6 MILLION there in the occupied Ukraine receive medical aid,food,water.And they do.
However it had NO obligation to receive as REFUGEES into Russian territory 3 million Ukrainians.
Colonel DOUG MACGREGOR,who is very reliable,a few days ago, has said that his Polish,Ukrainian and other sources have told him the number of Ukrainian SOLDIERS killed,KILLED,not wounded is how much?
It is 1.8 MILLION dead.
AIPAC is NOT a group of American Jews that support Israel but of American Jews AND American Evangelicals, two kinds of Zionists: Jewish Zionists and Christian Zionists.
The Christian part is made up by CUFI ( Christians United for Israel).Which has 10 MILLION members.
Its founder and leader is pastor JOHN HAGEE,close friend of Netanyahu. He is crazy in a way,because of this:
1.His 2006 book ”Jerusalem countdown:a warning to the world” has been made into two Christian movies.They are ”Countdown: Jerusalem” (2009) and ”Jerusalem countdown”(2011).
Hagee claims that Russia and several Islamic nations will invade Israel and will be destroyed by God. This will cause the Antichrist, the head of the European Union, to create a confrontation over Israel between China and the West.
2. On page 149 Hagee claims Adolf Hitler was a “HALF-BREED JEW” and states (p. 97) that Hitler was sent by God, as a “hunter,” to persecute Europe’s Jews and drive them towards “the only home God ever intended for the Jews to have-Israel.”
On the same page Hagee goes on to make the false claim that in the 1976 book ”Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography” noted Hitler biographer JOHN TOLAND “records that Hitler was part Jewish.” What Toland actually said was “There is the slight possibility that Hitler’s grandfather was a wealthy Jew named Frankenberger or Frankenreither.”
4. Hagee’s claim that Hitler was partly Jewish is not new. In a 2003 sermon broadcast internationally and marketed as a VHS cassette, John Hagee claimed that who?
That the ANTICHRIST would be “PARTIALLY JEWISH, as was Adolf Hitler, as was Karl Marx.”
The war in Gaza is not a success in many ways,one indication is this,which is historic, astonishing,a BLACK SWAN.
A metaphor that describes an event very unexpected.The term arose from a Latin expression,” As WHITE as a swan”.
Then they discovered that black swans exist in AUSTRALIA,500,000 of them. The term was popularized by NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB ,Lebanese, in his book
”Black Swan”(2007).
A few days ago 550 former heads of Mossad,secret service of Israel,of Shin Bet,the FBI of Israel, former Mossad agents and spies,former Shin Bet agents,and even of the police sent a SIGNED letter to who?
To TRUMP.
It includes AMI AYALAN,former head of Shin Bet, AMOS MALKA, former HEAD of Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate,
NADAV ARGAMAN,also former head of Shin Bet,TAMIR PARDO,former head of Mossad, and YORAM COHEN,another ex-head of Shin Bet.
550 who are not anonymous,they state their names.
They told Trump to tell Netanyahu to STOP the war in Gaza in order to free the remaining 24 or so Israeli hostages, that Hamas does NOT constitute an EXISTENTIAL threat to Israel,what remains of Hamas can be dealt with later.
I forgot to say that in addition to his Ukrainian,Polish and other sources telling coronel DOUG MACGREGOR that the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed so far is
1.8 MILLION, they also told him that at least an equal number have been wounded of which MOST have been permanently, permanently disabled: blind,lost an arm,lost a leg, lost their mind,etc. They can’t fight again. Most would mean about
1 MILLION permanently disabled.
From March 2,2025 until May 26,2025 Israel blocked all food,medicine and water from entering Gaza. That is how long?
It is a little more than 2 months and 3 weeks.
How did they survive? There was some food in storage but it would have lasted only for 1 month and a half,what about the EXTRA month plus 1 week.
People say food,medicine and water was brought into Gaza from where?
Through the dozens of Hamas TUNNELS. Hamas was using those tunnels to bring in food,water,medicine. Not enough but as much as possible. There is no other logical explanation.
There is an argument that is often heard that when you think about it seems convincing but then is not. It is that on Oct 7 Hamas committed a GENOCIDE by killing how 1,200 Israelis.
3,000 AMERICANS were killed by Al-Qaida on Sept 11. Nobody has ever said it was a genocide.
600,000 GERMAN civilians were killed by US and UK bombing during WW II. Nobody has ever said it was genocide.
100,000 JAPANESE civilians were killed in ONE night over Tokyo in 1945 by American bombers,before Hiroshima,nobody has ever called it genocide.
The reason Al-Qaida is not accused of committing genocide is that in his 2002 ”Letter to the American People” Bin Laden SPECIFICALLY points out that the action was due to what?
POLITICAL reasons,most of all to US support for Israel. Later the man in AL-Qaida who was personally in charge of Sept 11 said the same thing, He is KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMED,of Pakistan, captured in 2002 and now in Guantanamo.
He also said he organized Sept 11 for political reason ,specifically US support for Israel.
Hamas stated it had done Oct 7 specially for the liberation of the then 5,000 Palestinian HOSTAGES of the West Bank.
In the West Bank,except for a tiny minority, the men,women and even children in the jails are there on NO charges,No Reason given,No trial,just grabbed on the street,No reasons EVER given,
then after 6 months,
they are condemned for ANOTHER 6 months, No charges and reasons givens,then after those 6 months, the SAME thing,
6 more months, No charges and reasons given. Today they are 10,000 hostages.
The 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank are under MARTIAL law, where HABEAS CORPUS is suspended.
Habeas Corpus says you can NOT just imprison a person on No charges,no reason given.
I believe one should do as the RUSSIANS do,they have the philosophy that land taken can be recovered,but a life lost is irrecuperable, the important thing is to keep alive the PEOPLE.
That is why they had no qualms in evacuating HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS from KHERSON City who wanted to leave,to go to a safe area.
The Russian army was leaving Kherson City for military reasons.
The people of Gaza should be evacuated to a safe zone,with all the food,water and medicine, but no to the annexation of Gaza. The HOUTHIS can easily kill thousands of Israeli soldiers in Gaza with hypersonic missiles if Israel refuses to leave.
And economic sanctions can easily destroy the Israeli economy if they refuse to leave.
All aid to the Hamasimeans should be ended…..yesterday. This war should have been over two years ago.
Giving aid to your enemy simply prolongs the war.
Germany was starved out in WWI.
Even with all the German subs the British
were still able to effectively blockade
Germany to prevent food from reaching
the starving masses by sea.
Russia collusionists and Nazis are in lock-step on the far right. LGBTQMex environmental whackos and Nazis are in lock-step on the far left.
…all wrapped in pretty little flags.
The Russian collusion story was a hoax, and the Nazi’s were a left-wing party, not right-wing. Your ignorance is embarrassing.
