Hamas has placed bounties on the heads of American and local Gaza Humanitarian Foundation workers. But the Rev. Johnnie Moore, the group’s executive chairman, says, “If all of these threats are intended to shut us down, it’s just not going to work.”   “Terrorists want to cause you to be afraid,” Moore said. “I’m a Christian. The Bible says, ‘God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of sound thinking, of clear thinking,‘” the evangelical leader said, citing the Book of 2 Timothy in the Bible. Since its launch May 26, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has delivered over 50 million meals to the people of Gaza, continuing to work in the war-torn region even after Hamas attacked a group of Palestinian Gaza Humanitarian Foundation workers in June. Hamas has killed 12 local Gaza Humanitarian Foundation workers and tortured others, according to the humanitarian group.   Before the launch of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, Hamas confiscated much of the aid that entered Gaza, Moore told The Daily Signal.   As aid trucks entered Gaza, Hamas would “at gunpoint, take over the truck … many hundreds of trucks, steal the aid entirely, then they resell it to the Gazans, aid meant to be given for free to Gazans,” Moore said. Hamas hoards the food “in warehouses for their own purposes, they use it for other nefarious purposes, and so our one goal is to get free food to Gazans,” he said.   To deliver food to the people of Gaza and prevent Hamas from disrupting the aid deliveries, Moore said the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has created a system “from the bottom up” to ensure the aid is not diverted.   Both the U.S. and Israel are backing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. At the end of June, the Trump administration approved $30 million in funding for the aid group. Moore, a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, was co-chairman of Trump’s evangelical advisory board during the 2016 campaign.    Despite Moore’s message that the group’s only objective is to deliver aid to the citizens of Gaza, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is facing opposition from more than just Hamas.   The humanitarian group has faced repeated criticism from the United Nations. As recently as last Friday, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation “inherently unsafe,” claiming the group “is killing people.”  In June, the U.N. human rights office claimed that about “410 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military while trying to fetch from controversial new aid hubs in Gaza—a likely war crime.”   In addition to the U.N., a group of 171 charities and nongovernmental organizations, including Amnesty International and Save the Children, have called for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to be dismantled, citing concerns over civilian deaths at distribution sites.   Medical authorities in Gaza claim 500 people have been killed while trying to access aid or along aid transportation routes since the humanitarian group began its operation in the region.   Moore pushed back on the claims, saying “there have been no violent incidences at our sites or involving any of our people.”   “We contest some of these reports for a couple of reasons,” Moore said. “The first reason is … we can’t control outside the perimeter of our sites. This is a hot war, we’re not operating in a ceasefire, we are operating in the middle of a war.”   It is clear, according to Moore, that there “have been some civilian deaths, but circumstances around those deaths, the scale of those casualties, all of those details, it’s quite clear that no one knows those things.”  “But what we do know,” he continued, “is that every single day, the Hamas health ministry in Gaza releases numbers of casualties and they attribute 100% of those casualties to having happened at or near our sites, and it’s just not true. It’s a lie. It’s like part of the information warfare part of Hamas’ military operation.”   The reports of death from the Gaza Health Ministry are intended to “scare Gazans from coming to our sites or to rally international opposition to us,” Moore said.   When there have been incidents involving the Israel Defense Forces around aid distribution sites, Moore says the IDF has “been open about it” and opened investigations to determine what happened.   The IDF has acknowledged that some Palestinian civilians have been killed by its gunfire near aid distribution sites and says it is investigating each incident but says the number of deaths reported from the Gaza Health Ministry have been exaggerated.   “What we know on the Hamas side is they are absolutely intentionally murdering people and for two reasons: to lie and say that we killed those people, or the IDF killed those people, and to try to turn the world against us and to keep the Gazan people from coming to us,” Moore said.   Despite concerns over violence around aid distribution sites, Moore says, “Gazans keep showing up, and we keep showing up and we try to set the record straight for one reason: The people of Gaza deserve to eat, and they can’t rely on anybody else. They got to rely on us. And we’re 50 million meals in, and we’re just going to keep at it, despite all the lies.”   The post Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Won’t Stop Aid Distribution After Hamas Puts Bounties on Workers appeared first on The Daily Signal.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is stepping into a legal battle that challenges the powerful alliance between major media outlets and tech corporations accused of stifling independent journalism. The case, brought by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and a collection of independent publishers and reporters, targets the “Trusted News Initiative” (TNI), an international consortium that includes the likes of the BBC, Reuters, The Associated Press, and The Washington Post. Central to the lawsuit is the charge that TNI and its tech partners unlawfully coordinated efforts to silence smaller media competitors by branding their work as “misinformation” or “disinformation” and throttling their reach online. We obtained a copy of the notice of intent for you here. The plaintiffs contend that this alleged scheme violates the Sherman Antitrust Act by effectively shutting independent voices out of the marketplace of ideas. The lawsuit, originally filed in 2023, had seen little movement until recently. The DOJ last week filed a formal notice in federal court indicating it will submit a statement of interest by mid-July. The agency cited the case’s focus on “anticompetitive collusion among competitors over product features” as a matter of federal concern. For those fighting the case, the DOJ’s involvement signals a hopeful shift. Mary Holland, CHD’s CEO, called the announcement “welcome” and pointed to what she described as years of weak federal antitrust enforcement. Kim Mack Rosenberg, CHD’s general counsel, added that the DOJ’s interest could help break the logjam that has slowed the case, stating that she is “awaiting the statement of interest here with great interest.” The plaintiffs represent a broad swath of independent media and public figures, including Creative Destruction Media, TrialSite News, The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft, Health Nut News publisher Erin Elizabeth Finn, Dr. Joseph Mercola, journalist Ben Swann, and Ty and Charlene Bollinger, known for their platforms The Truth About Cancer and The Truth About Vaccines. They argue that through shadow bans, removals, and other forms of suppression, tech firms aligned with TNI deliberately crippled their ability to operate and reach audiences. The TNI brands itself as a coalition working to counter harmful “disinformation.” Among its participants are not only legacy media institutions but also tech giants like Google, Meta, and Microsoft. The plaintiffs argue, however, that behind this mission lies a coordinated strategy to crush economic competition. Evidence cited in the complaint includes public remarks from TNI insiders. For instance, former BBC senior news controller Jamie Angus described the real competition facing major news outlets as “a tidal wave of unchecked [reporting] that’s being piped out mainly through digital platforms.” CHD contends that this reflects TNI’s true motivation: protecting market share under the pretext of curbing false information. Holland stated plainly, “They colluded expressly to suppress economic competition.” Further allegations center on TNI’s targeting of COVID-19 narratives that did not align with government and establishment positions. The complaint outlines how the initiative’s so-called early warning system alerted Big Tech companies to voices labeled as problematic, leading to what the plaintiffs describe as a coordinated group boycott that devastated their visibility and advertising income.

President Donald Trump determined on his first day back in office that the "current situation at the southern border qualifies as an invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution."He then proclaimed, pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act, that migrants stealing into the homeland would henceforth be restricted from claiming asylum until the invasion was over. Those who failed to provide federal officials with sufficient personal information at legal ports of entry would similarly be restricted in making asylum claims.Of course, this proclamation enraged all the usual suspects on the left, including the American Civil Liberties Union, which challenged the asylum ban in February on behalf of three radical activist groups and a handful of foreigners denied asylum.'An appeal to necessity cannot fill that void.'According to the activist groups' complaint, the proclamation was "as unlawful as it is unprecedented," and "immigration — even at elevated levels — is not an 'invasion.'"On Wednesday, an Obama judge weaseled around the U.S. Supreme Court's June 27 determination regarding nationwide injunctions in Trump v. CASA Inc. in order to universally bar the administration from expelling asylum seekers from the United States.RELATED: Lawfare strikes again: Rogue judge ignores SCOTUS, shields 500,000 from Trump's immigration crackdown Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesU.S. District Judge Randolph Moss said Trump had exceeded his executive authority in adopting "an alternative immigration system" and that his day-one proclamation was unlawful."Nothing in the INA or the Constitution grants the president or his delegees the sweeping authority asserted in the Proclamation and implementing guidance," wrote Moss. "An appeal to necessity cannot fill that void."While the Supreme Court indicated last week that the national injunctions weaponized against the Trump administration by district court judges "likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts," Justice Brett Kavanaugh recognized in his concurring opinion that district courts may still be able to "grant or deny the functional equivalent of a universal injunction — for example, by granting or denying a preliminary injunction to a putative nationwide class under Rule 23(b)(2)."Moss embraced this "functional equivalent of a universal injunction" and certified all border-jumping asylum seekers "who are now or will be present in the United States" as a protected class.'The American people see right through this.'Moss did, however, stay his ruling two weeks pending an appeal from the Trump administration. Depending on how the appeal goes, the floodgates could be reopened to multitudes of foreign nationals seeking asylum."To try to circumvent the Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions a marxist judge has declared that all potential FUTURE illegal aliens on foreign soil (eg a large portion of planet earth) are part of a protected global 'class' entitled to admission into the United States," wrote White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.Miller added, "The West will not survive if our sovereignty is not restored."Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin similarly underscored the gravity of Moss' ruling, noting in a statement obtained by CNN, "The President secured the border in historic fashion by using every available legal tool provided by Congress. Today, a rogue district judge took those tools away, threatening the safety and security of Americans and ignoring a Supreme Court decision issued only days earlier admonishing district courts for granting nationwide injunctions."RELATED: Alligator Alcatraz is a warning to illegal immigrants in the US: Leave now or end up here Photo by GUILLERMO ARIAS/AFP via Getty ImagesWhile the White House did not comment on whether Trump might follow President Abraham Lincoln's example of taking actions that bypass or supersede the rulings of meddlesome judges, it indicated the administration expects to win on appeal."A local district court judge has no authority to stop President Trump and the United States from securing our border from the flood of aliens trying to enter illegally," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to Blaze News. "The judge's decision — which contradicts the Supreme Court's ruling against granting universal relief — would allow entry into the United States of all aliens who may ever try to come in illegally.""This is an attack on our Constitution, the laws Congress enacted, and our national sovereignty," continued Jackson. "We expect to be vindicated on appeal."Attorney General Pam Bondi characterized Moss as a "rogue" judge "trying to circumvent the Supreme Court's recent ruling against nationwide injunctions.""The American people see right through this," said Bondi. "Our attorneys ... will fight this unconstitutional power grab as [Trump] continues to secure our border."Like Blaze News?
