We have a new Saint John now, his name is John Kameel Farah and we've renamed the city on his honour.

To call the "Hamas looting crisis" a hoax would be to undersell it. Israel hasn't just lied about looting from Hamas militants, it has actually armed and sheltered the people doing the looting, then used that looting as an excuse to cut off the provision of aid. It's monstrous.

Cindy McCain, head of the UN's World Food Program, confirms that the alleged looting by Hamas militants is not true.

Ex-Biden official in charge of aid provision confirms to CNN that Israel never provided evidence of alleged looting or diversion of aid by Hamas militants.

Sky News has located their camp in Israeli-held territory. Aid agencies confirm this Israeli-armed "anti-terror" militia is the same group that routinely seizes and loots aid trucks.

This isn't new. These appear to be the same people who've been looting aid trucks entering through the Kerem Shalom crossing ever since the IDF took over Rafah a year ago. Another Israeli publication confirms the program:

I'm glad they're at least making the ICJ's job easier.

Our continued arms trade with Israel is literally illegal under international law.

We need an immediate arms embargo.
