Palestinian Authority Daily: Hamas Is Murdering Civilians Who Come To The Gaza Aid Distribution Centers

In its June 19, 2025 editorial, the Palestinian Authority Al-Hayat Al-Jadida daily accused Hamas of murdering Gaza residents trying to get to the American food aid distribution centers established in the Gaza strip. According to the article, "death squads" from Hamas's Al-Sahm unit[1] hunt down...

Very skeptical. Went to the Palestinian news site and couldn't find an article or editorial about Hamas killing people looking for food. I did find the picture of the guy pointing a gun at the people wearing blindfolds. The caption wasn't about collaborators. It was "
The resistance carries out "revolutionary death sentences" against those involved in the robbery of aid convoys."

Now that anyone can translate, Israeli propaganda will need to step up their game.

This is a U.S. run site, with a very distinguished board of former U.S. foreign policy experts (albeit founded by a former Israeli intel officer). They could well be pumping out propaganda in concert with Israel and others, but it is not directly an Israeli propaganda operation. But it is decidedly pro-Israel.

Can't argue with that board. Those guys are big time. Just can't find anything like they're describing in their post either the picture saying Hamas is shooting collaborators or the editorial they mentioned Hamas is shooting people trying to get food.

If they are somehow making the claim that Hamas is shooting people trying to get food who are thieves, I think that's a pretty tortured interpretation of the column and certainly detracts from their credibility. Would it have been that hard for them to provide a link so we can read it for ourselves?

Not denying your original post and highly disappointed to read that. It is a site I read on background but don’t post here because it has obvious bias but is a way to get ME news (or direction to look up other accounts of what they cover at Al Jazeera etc.). Of course the first time I post something from there it is sketchy. I will take down the link.

Don't do it because of my comment. I'm not denying that the Palestinian editorial is there or maybe it was there and they took it down. I just couldn't find it, and the site is not really that big. I did see that picture with a caption that did not have anything to do with collaborators. I guess it's possible the Palestinian newspaper could have changed it but just seems unlikely.
 
since I went to bed, Trump declared he brokered a ceasefire, Israel confirmed, then Iran fired missiles and Israel says ceasefire is off

So there you go.
 
The value of the ceasefire is too great to let the one Iranian attack be the end of the pursuit of it. Israel and the US should try its best to move forward and give Iran another shot at it.

Sadly, no. I live in WNC. They still worship Dear Leader around these parts. Bigly.

Same here. Whenever I go to my old hometown in the NC foothills I still see loads of homes and cars sporting Trump flags, MAGA bumper stickers, the works. I also still see some homes in my suburban neighborhood in the NC piedmont flying Trump flags of various kinds, although I will say the number of such homes - and the number of vehicles with Trump paraphernalia - has decreased somewhat in my suburban area, which is probably to be expected since the election is long over. But in rural areas I've driven through MAGA still seems as strong and loud and proud as ever.
