The International Criminal Court has said they are seeking arrest warrants for senior leaders of Hamas and Israel. So far there are requests for warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and the leaders of the group’s military and political wings, Mohammed Dief and Ismail Haniyeh. We take a look at what that means and what to expect going forward.

Thanks for making the distinction between the ICJ & ICC, I think many people (including myself) didn’t know they were separate entities!
I find it ironic how many of the nations apart of this are guilty of the same exact crimes lol
Does that excuse the crime?
@@ImperiumLibertas no, definitely not. But it is important in every investigation to not find yourself guilty. Which is very easy for a lot of countries.
@@ImperiumLibertas yes, states are allowed to kill civilians
Why do you think the USA is so against this. They don't want their want to get arrested.
Your defense won’t hold up in court: you get ticketed for speeding and tell the judge that other were also speeding 🤦♂️
Preston, could you do a comparison between the civilian to combatant ratio in Gaza vs other similar wars/battles? It seem many these conversations/news articles are predicated one way or the other (ie. either the IDF is criminal, or doing a historically amazing job), but very few commentators, even you, mention this critical ratio as context. Thanks!
Agreed
Who's a civilian and who is a combatant and who is providing said info and data? 🤔
It cannot be done without bias. The only combatant numbers released are Israel’s. Which are backed by nothing. And civilian death numbers are Gaza health ministry, which don’t seem to be accepted by pro-Israel side. They don’t discern between civilian and combatant. Essentially, there is no way to tell barring 3rd party investigations which Israel is blocking.
@@barrettcarl3009 that doesn't justify shooting anyone on sight buddy.
Wouldn't be easy to do if even possible since we have no hard statistics on the number of hamas and PIJ killed in the conflict.
I doubt sinwar and his buddy are in Gaza. Likely already in Egypt
Or Qatar
Both, Sinwar and Deif are probably still in Gaza. Most tunnels are still in tact, and I'm almost certain there's enough supplies underground to hold them off for at least a year. This will take another year, at least. Unless Israel is forced to stop.
They definitely had an escape plan.
Only a fool belives that the leaders are still in Gaza, they left before the first attack because they knew the destruction that would follow.
Egypt is anti Humus but pro Palestine. So it’s highly unlikely that they would shelter Sinwar or other. Already the Humus leadership are in Qatar which is considered a political enemy of Egypt.
Thanks for the update, keep safe.
I've been checking you tube like crazy waiting to see what insights you have on this.
The irony is real. 😂
probably the best coverage of this I have seen
Preston deserves a Million subscribers! Thanks for the constant updates.
Appreciate that man!
@@PrestonStewart I respect how you don’t spin or virtue signal, I don’t want people to tell me what I want to hear, I just want the facts Im a big boy I can handle it🙃
Looking at the comments, his audience is full of zionists and west supremacists.
Hi Preston , thanks another great update. You mentioned many international organizations have not called out Hamas . Can you state some of there’s organizations? Thanks .
Also, I'm not fully spun up on the details, but Germany has apparently said that they'll arrest Netanyahu on sight, which is just ironic AF.
One notable thing that I think you missed is that the ICC HASN'T charged Israeli leaders for the crime of genocide (section 6) which may actually undermine the case going forward in the ICJ. Both Hamas leaders and Israeli leaders are being charged for actions that come under section 7 (crimes against humanity) and section 8 (war crimes).
The charges against hamas relate to october 7th and the hostages and include the outright charge of extermination (rather than extermination and/or murder against Israel), murder, the taking of hostages, and the treatment of those hostages including those of rape and torture
The charges against Israel appear to be related overwhelmingly, if not entirely, to the blockade/siege which is evident from the rest of the statement by prosecution following the charges where nothing but the blockade is discussed although the killing of aid workers as well as the killing of civilians by other means are mentioned.
Extermination is mentioned as a charge against Israel but they don't seem entirely sure the charge would stick as they have stated extermination and/or murder as a crime against humanity in their statement. It would appear that if they can get the more serious charge of wilful killing rather than, or in addition to murder, as a war crime, they would get a charge of extermination in addition to or instead of a charge of murder as a crime against humanity. If the ICC prosecution CANNOT successful make the charge of extermination stick, then the charge and case of genocide against Israel in the ICJ has no legs to stand on as extermination is a lesser charge along the same lines as genocide.
The charge of Genocide was put forward to the ICJ by South Africa and many other nations. Not a charge for the ICC nor individuals.
@@zeondeane2832 Since the ICC operates in accordance with the Rome Statute, the ICC does indeed deal with claims of genocide as seen in the case of Omar al-Bashir. The ICJ genocide charge is being dealt with in accordance with the Genocide Convention rather than the Rome Statute which has an identical definition. The main difference being that, due to the nature of the ICC, a lot more evidence is required before bringing a claim, especially that of genocide, to the ICC than is needed for the ICJ.
No not really, the ICC can reference that a proceeding has already started for the Crimes of Genocide in the ICJ... the two entities are separate but also acknowledge each other. As a prosecutor you can select which crimes you have enough evidence for and which you have not yet reached the threshold for....
It’s important to say that none of these are actual charges against anyone. They are just suspicions at this time.
Some information that may be useful to know where these request for warrant comes from: Khan is a part of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Communit.
Mr. Khan served as Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, serving as the first Special Advisor and Head of the United Nations Investigative Team to help bring Daesh/Islamic State of Iraq and of the Levant to answer for its crimes committed in Iraq between 2018 and 2021.
As most people i really don't like Netanyahou and i'm no lawyer but willful killing sound kind of funny to my ear when it's a state at war, why aren't sinwar and his pals also accused of willfully causing great suffering and intetional attacks against civilians population when they didn't even try to hide the fact that they orcastrated a genocide
The ahmadiyya muslims are like the mormons or JWs to Islam. I dont see how that matters
@@beslanintruder2077 you're right Mormons and Ahmadis were even faced similar struggle within their own religion but I want a Mormon to judge a crusader as much as I want an Ahmadis to judge a mujahideen, anyway I'm nobody to say if it matters or not, I'm just putting it out there because *I* thought it was interesting.
They got prosecuted too, but no one will enforce that
"but willful killing sound kind of funny to my ear when it's a state at war"
When a state is at war, it is still bound by international treaties.
Deliberately blocking food, water, medicine and fuel is a war crime per international law, violates the rules of war, and additionally results in the willful killing of civilians.
There is nothing funny about that, and it is something Israel has been warned about from the moment they implemented that policy.
Additionally, following your broken logic, Hamas can argue it has been at war with Israel since forever, and hence killing people was merely a result of being at war, and not a willful attempt to kill civilians.
You *REALLY* should learn to apply arguments properly and equally to all parties involved if you want to have any chance to come to a honest conclusion.
@@c128stuffwhere are the hostages? Where is the Red Cross? Where is the outrage? Thanks
Oh heck ya I love your content yaaaa
saying that the PA joining means that Gaza joined the ICC, while the PA having no actual authority or presence in the gaza strip, which since 2006 is de-facto a separate entity just serves to show how BS this whole "court" is. this is basically getting the benefits without any of the duties, since I don't see anyone going in and actually arresting Hamas leaders. those warrnets against sinuar ar DOA.
Yes but the PA is recognised internationally as the representatives of the Palestinians, Hamas isn't.
Not to mention the PA starting the civil war in Gaza when Hamas was leading the "democratic" elections that were held there (once and once only) and started kidnapping Hamas members which resulted in thousands of dead and wounded and led to Hamas taking over tyrannical control of the entirety of Gaza. The PA are just as bad as Hamas for their own people, only without the gross religious zealot terrorist part against the Jews. (They have what they call the "long term plan for the destruction of Israel" so, yeah, there's that)
The upshot is that the Palestinian Authority could be found to be violating the Rome Statute by not executing arrest warrants against Hamas leaders. Realistically, they're way more likely to say that Israel is violating the Rome Statute (to which it is not a signatory) because it is an occupying power and therefore the PA's responsibilities are transferred to it. 🤷
@@Jono98806funny because Hamas was elected - we can try to pretend that the Palestinians don’t on some level welcome what Hamas stand for
@@heinkle1that was 2006. Just to clarify..it stopped being elected. Also as per Oslo accord the PA disarmed as per agreement. They acted in good faith unlike succesive Israel government which defy UN resolutions against illegal settlement expansion. In this quagmire neither side is right and neither is wrong.
I think there needs to be a conversation on wether we even want impartial international law. If non of the signed countries are going to arrest someone who's wanted by a court they recognize. Then what's the point in that court in the first place?
It isnt easy. South African leaders too said they werent gonna arrest Putin but then got threatened with legal actions by their domestic courts.
Weren’t they gonna arrest Putin for war crimes when he visited Africa ? 😂😂😂
The great hypocrisy
Yes, that is why he decided not to go to the BRICS summit in South Africa, so that they could not arrest him
@@verin4921 No, he didnt go. Opposition in South Asia made it impossible to not get him arrested. So venue was changed. CAR victims of wagner were also supposed to go to ICC after Putin admitted to financing it on tv. I wonder what happened to them.
Putin war crimes in Africa?
You didn't talk about Obama war crimes 😂

The ICC? How many divisions do they have?
You can always rely on a fascist to respect nothing but power
@@Rb39-ej5hh Heh, it is an unfortunate feature concerning geopolitics with power and the ability to impose one's will on another. I don't advocate for such, but this story reminded me of the famous quote attributed to Iosif Stalin about the Pope. It also reminded me of the famous Melian Dialogue, but the point of such is that oftentimes it is a reality that international laws are unable to be enforced due to the anarchic nature and relative power of nations and political bodies to enforce them. We will see how this ruling or the judgment against Vladimir Putin fare, but I will be watching such with interest to see if they are ever carried out.
hey South Africa, it takes one to know one.
Well said big bad Preston as always

What's good with ya lately?
The "rules" seem to make it impossible to prosecute a war .
He's unusually fair for an American. I've seen others, but relatively few.
Does "arrest" necessarily mean apprehension and incarceration for the ICC? I'm only familiar with the Canadian legal system for comparison, but someone can be "arrested" and immediately released here in order to initiate proceedings - on a "Promise to Appear" for example.
Well I guess the next step is arrest warrants for the leaders of Myanmar too? And protests? From the mountains to the sea Myanmar will be free? Why am I not hearing just as much noise over that conflict?

Ratifying the treaty of Rome is a prerequisite to joining the EU. This is why Armenia recently ratified it.
So all EU members are party to it.
This false equivalency is ridiculous. The charges are different for the people.
That's right, IDF war crimes are much much worse.

Hamas aren’t freedom fighters. They are MB foot soldiers hoping to subjugate the world.
I wouldn't be so certain imagine how weak he would look if he fled, it would be like the captain jumping ship and be seen as a win for Israel.
But if he stays in Gaza and survives the war it will be seen as a big win for Hamas.

only war crime I saw was on OCT 7th

@@KrGsMrNKusinagi0 yep your blind then. Go look at how much land Israel has sold of to international Zionists in Synagogues in the US which is all Palestinian land in the west Bank. Israel is and has been for a long time the enemy of the Palestinians, Hamas is a direct outcome of this, not that I support Terrorism, I dont... but I can explain it.
Agreed. Actually kind of sickening watching Preston's viewers justify war crimes. I tried bringing up.how we comat such viewpoints in his lifestream but youtube has a 128 character limit and I could not write such a question in that limit.
They're a bunch of neoliberal NPCs, it's not surprising.
Thank you Preston. I find it interesting that these warrants are potentially going to be issued on both sides. It does give some authenticity to the adjudicating board but I really have a hard time believing that even-handed justice is being served by the international criminal court. I would like to see more about the evidence and the legal statutes which comprise these allegations.
It's like betting on both red and black to make sure they look like they're "on the right side of history" no matter the outcome.

Preston you served in the army what strategy would you do in regards to israeli soldiers dealing with hamas snipers dressed up in civilian clothing shooting and killing israeli soldiers. American army has a policy of leveling the area where snipers are located instead of fighting a sniper with another sniper, so would you recommend israel uses artillery, level the city's and all the buildings then send in soldiers or do you have a better plan?

Hey preston, when you say “that’s all I got from now” I’m curious if you saw the new horrific video from October 7 that the hostages families have decided to release? of their daughters, female soldiers that most of them are still in captivity. I know it’s not around current events of the war, but in my opinion it’s important to talk about or even a slight mention of these poor girls, they were bound, some of them with their faces all bloody, yelled at, and you hear the horrible terrorist are talking about getting them pregnant, poor girls😞
Imagine if that on the morning of October 8th the UN Security Council called an emergency vote to condem Hamas, demand Qatar to take into custody the Hamas leadership? How many lives might have been saved? Now wonder why they didn't? Food for thought. As always great work Preston
It is pretty amazing that they've taken 6 months to get an arrest warrant for Sinwar & Co. All the evidence for Oct 7th has been there from the start.
@@BlossomsInTheNightIt’s also cute how the charges against Israel came out against the same time, almost as if it was done for political reasons: to appeal the masses, instead of justice.
@@jameslee8428 Except that’s proven to be false. If you knew the region’s history then you would have known that.
In 1948 the UN offered Palestinians a state of their own. They took that offer. Well… most of them did. A few radical tribes refused to be a part of the rest and chose to kill Jews instead. That Palestinian state is called Jordan today.
Since then, the Arabs in the West Bank Gaza turned down statehood SIX TIMES! Instead claiming that they want Palestine to be ALL of the region, INCLUDING what is Israel. The main group that demands it is Hamas. They don’t just want independence. They want it AND Israel gone.
@@jameslee8428 YOU are the one making false narratives! These are historical FACTS!
1937 - The Peel Commission
1939 - The British White Papers
1947 - UN offer
Between 1947 and 1967 the West Bank was under Jordanian control and Arafat said independence was no longer an issue. Only when Israel took it over in war in 1967 (after Israel was attacked by Jordan) did it become an issue again.
1979 - Israel-Egypt Peace negotiations
1990s - Oslo Agreements
2000 - Ehud Barak offered independence for Gaza and 97% of West Bank. In exchange he would give up land in the Negev desert to Gaza.
2008 - Ehud Olmert offered independence for all of Palestine and a partitioned Jerusalem.
To Palestinians the entire region is “Dar al-Salam” (Muslim land.)
There were 6 times that Israel itself offered independence and all six times the Palestinians chose to fight for everything instead. They don’t accept a two-state existence!
@jameslee8428 The Palestinians have had numerous opportunities to create an independent state but have repeatedly rejected them:
· In 1937, the Peel Commission proposed the partition of Palestine and the creation of an Arab state.
· In 1939, the British White Paper proposed the creation of a unitary Arab state.
· In 1947, the UN would have created an even larger Arab state as part of its partition plan.
· The 1979 Egypt-Israel peace negotiations offered the Palestinians autonomy, which would almost certainly have led to complete independence.
· The Oslo agreements of the 1990s laid out a path for independence, but the process was derailed by Palestinian terrorism.
· In 2000, Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered to create a Palestinian state in all of Gaza and 97 percent of the West Bank.
· In 2008, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert offered to withdraw from almost the entire West Bank and partition Jerusalem on a demographic basis.
· In 2013-14, the Palestinians took unilateral steps that sabotaged the Kerry initiative.
· In 2020, the Palestinians rejected the Trump peace plan.
In addition, from 1948 to 1967, Israel did not control the West Bank. The Palestinians could have demanded an independent state from the Jordanians but never did.
The Palestinians have spurned every chance for statehood. A variety of reasons have been given for why the Palestinians have, in Abba Eban’s words, “never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” Historian Benny Morris has suggested that the Palestinians have religious, historical, and practical reasons for opposing an agreement with Israel. He said, “Arafat and his generation [which includes Mahmoud Abbas] cannot give up the vision of the greater land of Israel for the Arabs. [This is true because] this is a holy land, Dar al-Islam [the world of Islam]. It was once in the hands of the Muslims, and it is inconceivable [to them] that infidels like us [the Israelis] would receive it.”
The Palestinians also believe that time is on their side. “They feel demographics will defeat the Jews in one hundred or two hundred years, just like the Crusaders.” The Palestinians, Morris says, also hope the Muslims will acquire nuclear weapons that will allow them to destroy Israel.13
South Africa, basically an ally of Russia, a member of BRICS and a failing economy.

This is about the war criminals in Israel and Gaza.
It's got no legs so it won't go anywhere
have you seen which nations are signatories of the ICC? how do you propose we will impose sanctions on our partner nations like Lindsey Graham suggests and how will that help us win the Trump/Biden's China trade war? if you impose more sanctions on other countries I guarantee you the average American will not be able to bear the inflationary consequences and ultimately America will have to back out of certain policies our presidents have chosen, showing we have no teeth in the international negotiations.

It's the exact same level of joke as the UN Security Council.
I recommend the ICJ bring charges against Egypt and other Arab states that refused to grant temporary asylum to innocent Gazans trying to flee the conflict. Letting women, children and the elderly escape Gaza and reside temporarily in refugee centers would have greatly reduced the effectiveness of the Hamas "human shield" strategy (a true war crime).

As for bias...putting the head of a state at the same level than the leaders of a terrorist organization says it all.

Even though Israel are almost solely resposible for destroying Gaza's critical infrastructure, which is obviosuly important for food and healthcare, and the UN has explicitly said that Israel isn't letting enough aid in, Israel isn't at fault, because Khamas THICC.
They allegedly been starving for 20 years. The Gazans have such amazing genetics that defy the laws of thermodynamics preventing them from starving
@@user-iq7vi6yh7p They have been under a blockade for a long time and Israel outright occupies the West Bank. The fact that they weren't starving all the time doesn't make it alright. Now there are clear signs that starvation is becoming a serious issue.

Actually, Obesity is a real problem in Gaza
@@ozyehuda it’s a joke
Obama is still walking free
They will never arrest Bibi.
They'll probably get him from accepting bribes but the other charges are BS and yet have any evidence.
If that's all it took then issue warrants for Obama, Biden, Both Bushes and both Clinton's as well.
Your comment is a winner 👍👍
That's not all it takes when it comes to the USA, we do not recognize the authority of the ICC. Bush 2 passed the Hague Invasion Act in 2002 and The United States would invade the Netherlands if they did this
@@frostmediaprod344 the first Bush got UN approval to organise the expulsion of Iraq from Kuwait, so nothing here.
Outline the crimes that meet the burden equivalent to Gaza for the Clintons and Obama. I guess for Hilary, her being Secretary of State means she is guilty.
Regarding the second Bush, also outline the crime that approaches the equivalent of Gaza.
And donald duck
Did you not hear/read the part where the USA is NOT a "full member"?
I’m sure the warrants will be issued. The fact they paired both sides together makes it hard for a judge or issuer to say they wont issue one without issuing one for Ha-MS. And if they decline those for Isr-al, it would look terrible and corrupt that only the Palestinian party would be hunted.
ICC has a very developed imagination 😅
The "suggestion" for warrants "suggested" by well known Islamists
Laughable
The judge's name is Karim Khan, eh? Yeah, totally unbiased.
Practically everyone is going to be biased on this
BUT WAIT holding a minute of silence for a man called "butcher of teheran"
or having saudi arabia be the UN's chair of human rights?
iran being the chair of disarmament?
all seems PERFECTLY LOGICAL and FAIR.
all judgment truly is impartial and ill keep repeating this.

Bro is literally trying to get Hamas arrested what do you want? Him to convert?
@@Ekdrink20% of the world is muslim,on the other hand jews are 0.2% of the world.thats why any international organization is basicly anti israel. Thats why israel isnt even allowed to conduct warfare and gets critisized for everythingit does.also these 20% are load and obnoxious.
OK this is very misleading. The *PROSECUTOR* suggested to issue arrest warrants. This means a lot but also absolutely nothing. It's just like the UN's majority of members are actually autocracies with no human rights and no western values of freedoms of speech & gay rights etc, yet the UN as if acts as a "moral standard". This is a joke. What a surprise that the prosecutor is a devout Muslim, Cloney's wife who also suggested these arrest warrants is a Muslim Lebanese woman... etc etc. Could you believe it? Crazy coincidences. I'm sure all judgement there is impartial.
"Western values of freedoms" 😂
What does their religion have to do with it? Are you implying Muslims all share some sort of bias?
BUT WAIT holding a minute of silence for a man called "butcher of teheran"

@@mormacil Without lies Islam dies.
73% of the world’s dictatorships are supported by the United States, and there’s like 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. What is your point???
oh please, your're crediting the icc for including hamas - it would have been transparent not to, and a non starter. in other words, it was a requirement. there will be no consequences for hamas - did you notice every muslim country is a NON participant? USA signed but didn't ratify. So sort of agrees with ICC but wont' ratify just like russia won't so they don't get hauled in by the ICC.
Taking the high road.
Nothing is going to happen.
Got it.
Would be great if you had analyzed the charges against Netanyahu, instead of hypothesizing about potential consequences on his travel restrictions
The idea an international court can claim jurisdiction over anyone is an abomination
Your nuts.... if you want to have a common law for international waters or space or Antarctica or the Arctic or emission standards... All these things impact us all regardless of our Governments Sovereignty...
But you cool if it's against countries you don't like, example Russia and Africa
Whats the point talk about pissing in the wind
No one is above the law.
Besides, this is just like sanctions imposed by the signatory countries upon the individuals in question. Let the cases play out in court.
Laws are just made up by the powerful to keep the lower class weak
The US still walks free, but these charges are blank but we'll see if they can prove Israel warcrimes.
Israel is above the law ….. clearly lol
What a joke
I think people forget that this is less about getting arrested for your crimes. And more about What it says about your country. If the ICC says you are a criminal, that means you are a criminal, no ifs or but. And the only one who will attacking The courts legitimacy Are people who are guilty And do not want accountability.
I mean, what are you against ? What are you disputing?The charges. That have been investigated for seven months. People saying that this is a war. There are rules of combat in a war. If you break this Rules purposefully. Then you are war criminal, it's simple as that. This is not an opinion. This is not a journalist coming out. Or commentator. This is a court. And if it was anyone else, you would say it was legitimate.
I'm so sick of seeing people. In the comments, defending on war criminals.
The problem here is that the arrest warrant for the Israeli side is mostly for apparently stopping aid. But there's been thousands upon thousands of aid trucks going into Gaza, there's been collaborations with other countries to conduct aid drops, there's an agreement with the US to build a temporary pier.
Even recently when Hamas fired rockets near Keram Shalom and it had to closed, it was open again pretty quick.
Egypt closed the Rafah crossing and just today there's news they have agreed with Israel to redirect the aid through Keram Shalom.
There's for sure a distribution problem within Gaza and people suffering especially on the northern parts. But to me these accusations that Israel has a policy of blocking aid is ridiculous.
Also, not talking specifically about this case but you seem to be under the impression that if a court finds you guilty then you are. Are you seriously saying that wrongful convictions are not a thing?
Due to timing this is probably unhelpfull, but the criticism of Israel and the US is absolutely ridiculous. Ah yes, and obviously so is the criticism from Hamas. Hamas had the option to not attack, and claiming they, and especially their leadership are the victims is absurd, and utterly dishonest.
But where the USA and Israel go wrong is that nothing Hamas does legitimizes Israel's deliberate, and well documented attempt to employ access to food as a weapon. That is a violation of international law, and nothing Hamas did will change that. The equivalence argument is utter nonsense and disingenuous.
Well documented? I saw numbers. There was enough food that entered Gaza. What Hamas does with all this food inside Gaza in not Israel's fault. By the way, it is "well documented" by gazans themselves in their tiltoks that there is and was no shortage of food.
@@l_kFF Israel says there was enough food, about everyone else says there wasn't. There is absolutely zero reason to believe Israel.
Additionally, it doesn't matter if food actually ran out, there are very clear statements by the Israeli government about their intentions and actions. That makes it well documented, and is enough to prove criminal intent.
You are looking for excuses, that is rather disingenuous.
@@c128stuff how many times Russian officials spoke about nuking other countries? Doesn't see them I'm the court for actually nuking. If you want to find someone guilty of murder you need to have a dead body. If you want to find someone guilty of preventing food access you need to prove that there is food scarcity and it was caused by that one who you are accusing.
everyone else says there wasn't - the same organizations who receive money for their actions of food delivery?
@@l_kFF There is proof of Israel closing off all access to Gaza, so your argument does not work.
"If you want to find someone guilty of preventing food access you need to prove that there is food scarcity and it was caused by that one who you are accusing. "
No, the intention, and action to block access to food is enough for that, those actions are illegal, even if the actions do not have the intended result.
You see, someone who tries to murder someone, but fails, is still guilty of attempted murder. It is a lighter offense? Yes, but still a criminal offense.
"everyone else says there wasn't - the same organizations who receive money for their actions of food delivery?"
That is a fallacy.
You see, even the USA totally agrees about this having happened, has made public statements about it, and is taking direct action to deal with it.
You are outright lying and parotting zionist propaganda.
