Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is answer to ‘broken aid system,’ says group’s head
2025-07-03
A taste.
[IsraelTimes] Rev. Johnnie Moore, executive chairman of controversial new GHF, tells The Times of Israel that safety and order will improve, blames Hamas for violence and disinformation

Rev. Johnnie Moore is a believer, in more ways than one.

The 41-year-old clergyman was one of US President Donald Trump
...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
’s early Evangelical backers, a man whose deep faith has brought him to refugee camps in Africa and to palaces of Middle Eastern leaders.

He also believes that the humanitarian aid initiative that he runs in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
as executive chairman is the antidote to a fundamentally flawed humanitarian system that has caused human suffering well beyond the war-torn Strip.

"I’m a Christian," Moore told The Times of Israel on Friday. "I can’t think of anything more Christian than feeding people. I happen to also believe that a broken aid system has only prolonged suffering not just in the Gaza, but all over the world."
Meddling often does.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started distributing aid on May 26, following a nearly three-month Israeli blockade amid a war that has already seen shortages that have plunged Gaza into a humanitarian crisis.

The secretive group has touted its delivery of 52 million meals since its launch, but this has been marred by reports of near-daily shootings of Paleostinians who trekked long distances while crossing IDF lines to reach the small number of GHF distribution sites.

I can’t think of anything more Christian than feeding people.

The effort runs counter to the mainstream aid community, which argues that the organization is unable to meet needs in Gaza and allows Israel to use aid as a weapon by determining who can receive it. Critics, including much of the international community, have also accused the GHF of putting aid seekers in harm’s way by placing the distribution centers in IDF-controlled zones and requiring Gazooks to walk long distances in order to reach them.

On Tuesday, more than 165 major international charities and non-governmental organizations, including Oxfam, Save the Children, and Amnesty, called for an immediate end to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Responding to the aid groups, GHF called on them to join their operations.

"Instead of bickering and throwing insults from the sidelines, we would welcome other humanitarian groups to join us and feed the people in Gaza," the statement said. "We are ready to collaborate and help them get their aid to people in need. At the end of the day, the Paleostinian people need to be fed."

Moore said the mainstream aid groups cling to "a commitment to the existing system almost with fundamentalism... actually prolonging this conflict and causing more suffering to the Gaza people."

An official working for an international organization providing aid to Gaza told The Times of Israel that "those working to provide aid are almost always guided by morally good intentions. But good intentions don’t guarantee good outcomes."

The aid effort in Gaza reflects a closed culture shaped by moral tribalism, where participation and loyalty to group values are prized above critical evaluation, even when the consequences are harmful.

"Humanitarians cannot assume that providing aid in war is universally good," explained the official, granted anonymity in order to speak openly. "Aid can be manipulated by bad actors, and upholding core humanitarian principles like neutrality isn’t always possible, or even ethical. Speaking and thinking critically about aid in any context, including the war in Gaza, shouldn’t be taboo. It’s accountability."

The aid official concurred with Moore that "the aid effort in Gaza reflects a closed culture shaped by moral tribalism, where participation and loyalty to group values are prized above critical evaluation, even when the consequences are harmful."

The GHF has also come under criticism for near-daily reports of lethal violence against civilians traveling to aid centers or waiting for them to open.

Last week, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said at least 549 people had been killed and 4,000 had been wounded trying to pick up aid from GHF sites or while waiting for UN food trucks since the GHF launched.

The numbers have not been verified, but between May 27 and June 24, there were at least 19 IDF shooting incidents related to humanitarian aid distribution, according to a review of reports out of Gaza conducted by The Times of Israel.

“Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families,” the international aid groups said in their joint news release on Tuesday.

On Monday, the IDF admitted in a statement that it has killed several civilians near aid sites in recent weeks and said it has learned lessons that will help it avoid similar incidents in the future.

Moore said that when there are incidents, he can pick up the phone and call the IDF, which investigates. “The difference between the IDF and Hamas is Hamas lies about everything all the time.”

He blamed Hamas for “intentionally killing people in order to disincentivize them from accessing aid or to further their disinformation campaign that our free food distribution sites are somehow traps.”

The difference between the IDF and Hamas is Hamas lies about everything all the time.

“We’re not denying that there haven’t been tragic incidents in the Gaza Strip of people seeking aid, and they’ve been harmed,” Moore continued. “We just don’t know what’s true and what isn’t true. What we do know is what has and has not happened in our sites. There hasn’t been violence in our sites. There hasn’t been violence in proximity to our sites that we’ve heard or that we’ve witnessed. What we do witness every single day is some arbitrary, I believe, arbitrary number that comes from Hamas that’s reported by the press because somehow Hamas has decided it.”

#1  The answer to "a broken aid system" is to stop the aid - right now the West provides food and their fellow Muslims provide guns.
