"One More Step to Push Out Principled Humanitarian Actors": Israel Bans Aid Groups in Gaza

[Uncle Joe]

Israel is set to suspend the operating licenses of Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam and dozens of other humanitarian aid groups in Gaza and the West Bank over alleged ties to Hamas, preventing international aid workers from entering Gaza and carrying out critical, lifesaving operations. Citing the groups' supposed support for the "delegitimization of Israel," the move is "arbitrary and highly politicized," explains Shaina Low, communications adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council, one of the impacted groups. "This is just one more step to push out principled humanitarian actors, particularly those that speak out on behalf of the people who we're there to serve, call for accountability for rights violations and violations of international law."

1. I resolve to hate Netanyahu even more in the New Year. Thanks for reminding me...

(No, not Israel or Israelis or US or Americans, or common Russian people, but Netanyahu, like Trump, like Putin--all deserve the worst that 2026 can bring)

3. I've always thought *rump and Netanyahu were just two sides of the same coin

Neither one's policies are good for the U.S. or Israel not to mention the rest of the world.

2. Israel is the abused child who now abuses others.
