This is Gaza: Witnessing the Israel Hamas War

Channel 4 News (2025)

Film Review

In this film Yousef Hammash, a UK Channel 4 foreign news producer, reflects on his extremely difficult to leave his homeland 179 days into the Israel-Hamas war.

Hammash was born in the Gaza refugee Jabiliah. With his foreign TV job, he had a good income and his family owned their own apartment in Gaza City near the sea.

He first learned of Israel’s October 8th 2023 attack on Gaza when the IDF (Israel Defense Force) burst into his building, dragged out two residents and beat them up. When Israel subsequently ordered the evacuation of all Gaza City residents, he loaded his family and followed the specific route designated by Israeli authorities, to his grandparents home in Jabiliah refugee camp. The footage he captured of bumper to bumper cars and refugees on foot is extremely moving, especially when Israel selectively bombed several cars. The Gaza building where they owned an apartment was leveled the next day.

He continued to provide Channel 4 News continuous footage of life in Jabiliah, where the population suddenly increased from 250,000 to one million. Much of it consisted of friends and neighbors recovering and mourning the bodies of relatives (including many children) killed in repeated Israeli bombings of Jabiliah. Owing to his high profile coverage, Israeli civilians called him Hammash “every ten minutes” with death threats against himself and his children.

Hammash compares it to suddenly living in the Stone Age. After Israel cut deliveries of food, electricity,water and fuel, his family and friends were forced to cook outside over open air fires. Owing to the scarcity of food and water, he queued several hours daily for bread and for water. When he could get rice and lentils, a single meal cost $400.

He provided very moving footage of children dying of starvation in Jabiliah’s hospital (later demolish by Israeli bombing*) and the tent they built on the hospital ground to store bodies. He also filmed Muslims rescuing Christians after Israel bombed Jabilih’s Christian church (where they sought refuge).

After a few months, Israel notified all refugees to evacuate Jabiliah and relocate to Rafah, a much smaller area. Hammash’s family left Jabiliah (which Israel subsequently leveled as they did Gaza City) to a section of Rafah close the Egyptian border. They were now living in a tent. At one point his children went without food for three days. At another the IDF fired on refugees lined up for food relief delivered via Egypt.

After a few weeks, despite powerful emotional ties to Gaza and Palestine, he and his wife felt the risk of losing their children were too high, and they very sorrowfully departed for London.

At the time this film was produced, 46,000 Gazans (44% children) had been killed in 15 months. The civilian death toll on the Israeli side was 1600 Israelis, 1200 on October 7 – when Hamas captured 251 hostages.

*(Ed note – I suspect this is why Israel eventually bombed all the hospitals – to prevent Palestinians from keeping an accurate record of starvation death.

In his first address to his staff, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged to subject potential causes of chronic disease to “unbiased scientific investigation.”

“Nothing is going to be off limits,” including his personal past beliefs, Kennedy said at his welcome ceremony today.

On Feb. 13, the White House issued an executive order establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which Kennedy will lead.

Kennedy said today that as part of that agenda, he will direct HHS to investigate many possible causes of the chronic disease epidemic in the U.S.

“Some of the possible factors we will investigate were formerly taboo or insufficiently scrutinized,” he said. “Those who are unwilling to embrace those kinds of ideas can retire,” he said.

Before and during his confirmation hearings, Kennedy came under fire from Democrats and the mainstream media for raising questions about vaccine safety. Today, he included the childhood vaccine schedule as one of the formerly “taboo” areas he planned to investigate.

Other potential drivers of the chronic disease epidemic the agency will investigate will include electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate and other pesticides, ultraprocessed foods, artificial food additives, antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs, a group of chemicals known as PFAS and microplastics.

Kennedy said he plans to convene stakeholders “of all viewpoints,” and to set study protocols in advance that won’t be changed when the results look like they will be “inconvenient.”

“Let’s all depoliticize these issues and reestablish a common ground or action and renew the search for existential truths with no political impediments and no preconceptions,” he said.

Kennedy also said he’ll work to remove “conflicts of interest” on HHS advisory committees in order to reestablish the public’s trust, Bloomberg Law reported.

The most striking aspect of President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) isn’t that unsavory aid recipients have misused taxpayer dollars. It’s that anyone is shocked by the revelations of waste, fraud, and abuse. After all, watchdog groups have sounded the alarm for years about misuse of USAID funds.

People shouldn’t just be enraged by USAID’s wasteful spending. They should also focus on what that spending supported—particularly when it promoted terror or aligned with Hamas’s interests.

Rather than being used to provide humanitarian aid and stabilize conflict-ridden regions—in accordance with USAID’s stated goal—American funds have often been funneled into corrupt, Hamas-tied institutions, with minimal oversight. A new multiyear study of USAID by the Middle East Forum identified $164 million in grants to radical organizations, including $122 million to those “aligned with designated terrorists and their supporters.” The MEF also found that “millions of federal dollars have been handed by USAID to organizations directly in Gaza controlled by Hamas, with government officials even visiting Gaza terror proxies’ offices and launching joint programs.”

The money has kept flowing, as the U.S. has distributed $2.1 billion in Gaza since Hamas killed 1,200 people and took 250 hostages on October 7, 2023. But the warning signs predate October 7. The USAID’s Inspector General—now raising the alarm about Trump’s shutdown of the agency—has consistently voiced concern over lax vetting mechanisms and inadvertent terror funding in the region.

The watchdog community has echoed these concerns. In December 2024, the group NGO Monitor highlighted USAID’s lack of transparency, reporting that it allocated $200 million to “miscellaneous foreign awardees” operating in the West Bank and Gaza. USAID identified neither the recipients of these funds nor their local partners. In 2021, NGO Monitor warned that alterations to USAID’s anti-terror vetting practices made the group “vulnerable to engagement with grantees and/or partners linked to terrorist organizations, or with groups that support, glorify, or excuse violence.”

Such misuse of taxpayer dollars could not have happened without significant failures of oversight from the State Department, which needs its own reckoning. The State Department should have more strictly supervised and prevented the agency’s corruption. Instead, department staffers were busy enacting soft coups from within by pushing back against former President Joe Biden’s Middle East policy, which they absurdly deemed too pro-Israel.

These subversive trends were mirrored within USAID itself. As revealed this week by the Washington Free Beacon, “USAID staffers went as far as to urge the Biden State Department to end military aid to Israel.” In 2021, then-USAID Administrator Samantha Power refused to meet with Israel’s ambassador unless Israel reached a ceasefire with Hamas—in direct contradiction to the plans of the White House National Security Council.

The absurdity here is as staggering as the implications are disturbing. For years, a contingent within USAID has actively subverted American foreign policy and greenlit aid to terror-tied entities without properly vetting them or, worse, vetting them and greenlighting anyway. We are only now scratching the surface of what’s happened.

The solution isn’t just closing USAID. A full investigation, led by newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio, must be launched into the State Department’s role in these failures. The American people deserve answers—not just about USAID’s missteps, but about a State Department that let this happen on its watch.

Immunological and Antigenic Signatures Associated with Chronic Illnesses after COVID-19 Vaccination

Studies providing evidence such as this will not be published unless they make loud claims in favour of the pharmaceutical industry’s needs, such as “COVID-19 vaccines have prevented millions of COVID-19 deaths.” This statement makes zero sense given that the more doses of the product you have, the more likely you are to “get covid”. It is also not supported at all by the clinical trial data, where the absolute risk reduction was 0.84% – 0.9% of placebo recipients compared to 0.4% of “vaccine” recipients developed symptoms.

The claim of “millions of lives saved” is based on flawed mathematical modeling used as a marketing ploy, rather than real world data. In the real world it is becoming widely understood that medical protocols such as end-of-life treatment pathways and toxic drugs were in fact the cause of many deaths at the height of the “pandemic” which only killed those already at the stairway to heaven.

Meanwhile, the toxic products named “vaccines” have been a genius move towards ensuring a lifetime of pharmaceutical industry custom, with a wide range of adverse effects depending on where the product travels to and how the individual’s physiology responds to its presence. Extreme differences have been found between batch numbers due to appalling quality control and apparent deliberate contamination.

Politicians, bureaucrats and “experts” doing the bidding of the pharmaceutical industry all said the spike protein was broken down at injection site. They lied. The lipid nanoparticles – toxic in themselves – allow the product to travel and concentrate throughout the body. Methyl pseudo-uridine (replacing natural uridine) – toxic in itself – was used to increase product stability and persistence in the body.

A recent essay titled “The Real Purpose of Net Zero” by Jefferey Jaxon posited that Europe’s current war against farmers in the name of preventing climate change is ultimately designed to inflict famine. Jaxon is not speculating on globalist motives; he is warning humanity of a rapidly unfolding reality that is observable in the perverse lies against cows, denigration of European farmers as enemies of the Earth, and calls by the WHO, WEF, and UN for a plant-based diet dependent entirely on GMOs, synthetic fertilizers, and agrichemicals.

Revelations about the evil doings of the Orwellian-monikered “United States Agency of International Development” (USAID) reveal a roadmap to totalitarian control unwittingly funded by America’s taxpaying proles. USAID’s clandestine machinations have long focused on controlling local and global food supplies as “soft colonization” by multinational chemical, agricultural, and financial corporations. European farmers revolting against climate, wildlife, and animal rights policies are harbingers of this tightening globalist noose.

The roots of the current globalist plan to “save humanity from climate change” link directly to the infamous Kissinger Report, which called to control world food supplies and agriculture as part of a globalist collaboration between nation-states and NGOs to advance US national security interests and “save the world” from human overpopulation using “fertility reduction technologies.” Kissinger’s 1974 Report was created by USAID, the CIA, and various federal agencies, including the USDA.

Fast forward to the 2003 Iraq War, justified using fear-mongering propaganda about weapons of mass destruction and neo-conservative malarky about rescuing the Iraqi people. The US-led occupation of Iraq became a rapacious profiteering smorgasbord for colonizing corporations husbanded by USAID. Iraq is heir to the birthplace of human civilization, made possible by early Mesopotamian agriculture: many of the grains, fruits, and vegetables that now feed the world were developed there. Iraq’s farmers saved back 97% of their seed stocks from their own harvests before the US invasion. Under Paul Bremer, Rule 81 (never fully implemented) sought to institute GMO cropping and patented seed varieties, as Cargill, Monsanto, and other corporations descended upon the war-ravaged nation using American tax dollars and USAID.

That playbook was more quietly implemented during the Ukraine War, once again orchestrated by USAID. Before the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, Ukraine was the breadbasket of Europe, prohibiting GMO technologies and restricting land ownership to Ukrainians. Within months of US intervention, USAID assisted in the dismantling of these protections in the name of “land reforms,” free markets, financial support, improved agricultural efficiency, and rescuing the Ukrainian people. In just two years, over half of Ukraine’s farmland became the property of foreign investors. GMO seeds and drone technology were “donated” by Bayer Corporation, and companies such as GMO seed-seller Syngenta and German chemical manufacturer BASF became the dominant agricultural “stakeholders” in war-torn Ukraine. Russia may withdraw, but Ukraine’s foreign debts, soil degradation, and soft colonization will remain.

The UN, WTO, WHO, and WEF all conspire to peddle a false narrative that cows and peasant farmers are destroying the planet, and that chemical-dependent GMO monocropping, synthetic fertilizers, and patented fake meats and bug burgers must be implemented post haste (by force if necessary) to rescue humanity. The argument that pesticides and synthetic fertilizers (manufactured from natural gas, aka methane) are salvific is patently false. They are, however, highly profitable for chemical companies like Bayer, Dow, and BASF.

Jefferey Jaxon is exactly correct. The Netherlands committed to robust agricultural development following a Nazi embargo that deliberately inflicted mass famine following their collaboration with Allied Forces in Operation Market Garden. France boasts the highest cow population in all of Europe. Ireland’s culture is tightly linked to farming as part of its trauma during the (British-assisted) Irish Potato Famine. The corporate/NGO cabal now uprooting and targeting farmers in these nations and across the EU in the name of staving off climate change and preserving wildlife is a direct outcropping of Kissinger’s grand dystopian scheme launched through USAID in 1974.

Americans watch European farmer protests from afar, largely oblivious that most all of US agriculture was absorbed by the Big Ag Borg generations ago. Currency control linked to a (political, environmental, and economic) social credit scorecard promises the fruition of Kissinger’s demonic plan: “Control the food, control the people.”

Modern humans suffer a double hubris that blinds them to the contemplation of the truth of Jaxon’s hypothesis: a cultish trust in technology, coupled with an irrational faith in their self-perceived moral superiority to past civilizations (Wendell Berry calls this “historical pride”). Yet, as long as mankind has had the capacity to harm another for personal gain, humans have devised ways to control food for power or profit. Siege warfare generally depended on starving defenders of castle walls into submission.

Even if globalist food control proposals are well-intentioned, a monolithic, monocultured, industrial-dependent worldwide food system is a lurking humanitarian disaster. Berry observed:

In a highly centralized and industrialized food-supply system there can be no small disaster. Whether it be a production “error” or a corn blight, the disaster is not foreseen until it exists; it is not recognized until it is widespread.

The current push to dominate global food production using industrial systems is the cornerstone of complete globalist dominion over all of humanity. The “Mark of the Beast” without which no American will buy or sell goods – including guns, bullets, or factory-grown hamburgers and cricket patties – is mere steps away. Mr. Jaxon is correct that these leaders “know these basic historical and current facts,” and that “[f]armers are becoming endangered because of government [climate] policy … and it’s being allowed to happen.” USAID has been actively seeding and watering this dystopia for decades.

Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates are as fully cognizant of this fundamental truth as Henry Kissinger was in 1974. USAID has aided all three. Having lost almost all of their small farms over the last century, Americans are well ahead of Europeans in their near-complete dependence on industrial food.

As calls to ban mRNA shots intensify worldwide, a growing number of U.S. states and communities are eyeing laws to prohibit or pause their use.

A bill introduced Tuesday in the Kentucky House of Representatives would ban until July 1, 2035, the administration of “any human gene therapy product for any infectious disease indication, regardless of whether the administration is termed an immunization, vaccine, or any other term.”

Lawmakers in Idaho and Montana recently introduced similar bills. Legislative initiatives are in the planning stages or have been passed at the county level in at least four other states, including Iowa, South Carolina, Texas and Washington.

“A critical mass will soon be reached, forcing the federal government to follow suit,” said epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher of the McCullough Foundation.

Dr. Kat Lindley, president of the Global Health Project and director of the International Fellowship Program for the Independent Medical Alliance (IMA), said such initiatives are “important in sending the message” to public health agencies “that states recognize the damage mRNA shots have done to U.S. citizens.”

Hulscher said the McCullough Foundation “will be actively engaged in legislative efforts to ban mRNA injections” in several states.

The state and local initiatives come as Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) called on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to “immediately revoke approval” of the COVID-19 vaccines, in a post Wednesday on X.

Montana bill cites contamination, lack of safety studies

Montana’s House Bill 371 would ban mRNA vaccines entirely and classify their administration as a misdemeanor, citing the “enormous numbers of deaths, disabilities, and serious adverse events” the shots have caused.

The bill states that the vaccines “are contaminated with DNA, metallic particles, and other unknown nanoparticles” and may shed to others or “integrate into the human genome and be passed onto the next generation.” It noted that no long-term safety studies of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have been completed.

Anyone who administers the vaccines in Montana would face a $500 fine per incident and a review of their professional license, NBC Montana reported.

The Judiciary Committee of the Montana House held a public hearing Feb. 7 to debate the bill. Lindley testified in support of the bill, citing an increase in cancers, miscarriages and abnormal vaginal bleeding in vaccinated females. Characterizing the mRNA COVID-19 shots as “dangerous,” Lindley called for their total ban.

Dr. Christine Drivdahl-Smith, a Montana family physician and volunteer board member of the Montana Medical Freedom Alliance, also testified against the mRNA shots. “Gene-based vaccines, or mRNA vaccines, are the most destructive and lethal medical products that have ever been used in human history,” she said.

IMA, formerly known as the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, also publicly supported the bill, as did Dr. Robert Malone, who was involved in developing mRNA vaccine technology

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Greg Kmetz previously sponsored a 2023 bill that would have prevented COVID-19 vaccine recipients from donating blood.

Idaho bill named after vaccine injury victim

Proposed legislation in Idaho would place a moratorium on “human gene therapy products,” including mRNA shots, until July 2035, the Idaho Statesman reported.

Senate Bill 1036, introduced by freshman Republican Sen. Brandon Shippy, defines “human gene therapy products” as products that include nucleic acids, genetically modified organisms and other “engineered site-specific nucleases.”

The bill is named after Doug Cameron, a rancher in “excellent health” who “was severely injured immediately after receiving a genetic immunization encouraged by his employer.”

According to the bill, the vaccine injury left him disabled from the waist down, unable to walk and confined to a wheelchair.

“His experience highlights the urgent need for caution, transparency, and rigorous oversight in the deployment of these treatments,” the bill states.

Shippy told the Statesman he believes “all the gene therapy products that are being used for immunization should be put on hold until we can determine their safety and efficacy.”

The Idaho Senate will hear testimony about the bill on Feb. 17. Hulscher said the McCullough Foundation will testify in favor of the bill.

Sasha Latypova, a former pharmaceutical research and development executive with 25 years of experience in the industry, will also testify in support of the bill. She said her testimony will focus on the fact that mRNA vaccines reached the market after “bypassing all expected consumer protection regulations.”

A similar initiative in Idaho, introduced during the 2023 legislative session, failed.

Some Idaho counties have already passed resolutions calling for the ban of mRNA COVID-19 shots. Last year, Boise County passed a resolution “to advise against use of genetic biologic ‘vaccine’ platform technology on the child vaccine schedule.”

In 2023, the Washington County Republican Central Committee passed such a resolution. In a post on Substack, Latypova, who testified in favor of the resolution, said such local initiatives are important.

“After 2.5 years working more than full time on trying to stop the government atrocity, I came to the realization that this is not going to be prosecuted at the federal level,” Latypova wrote.

In October 2024, Idaho’s Southwest District Health board announced it would no longer offer COVID-19 vaccines at its 30 locations, becoming the first health district in the U.S. to enact such a ban.

Bills, resolutions banning mRNA shots in the works in several states

In several other states, initiatives are in the planning stages or are proceeding at the county level. On Feb. 19, Franklin County in Washington will hold a hearing to debate and consider a resolution to warn county citizens of the dangers of mRNA COVID-19 shots. Hulscher and Cameron are slated to testify at the hearing.

Hulscher said other Washington counties are considering similar resolutions “in the near future.”

Republican Party committees in Lexington County, South Carolina, and Scotland County, North Carolina, passed resolutions last year banning the mRNA shots.

In Texas, Republican state Rep. Wes Virdell expressed support for introducing a bill banning mRNA shots at the state level in a December 2024 post on X. In 2023, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Pfizer for “unlawful misrepresentations concerning the COVID-19 vaccine.” The case is continuing on appeal.

Hulscher said similar efforts are underway in Iowa, where a bill is being drafted “with high hopes of it soon being filed.”

In Tennessee, however, such efforts faced a setback recently. “Key Senate testimony for a proposed mRNA ban was abruptly canceled,” Hulscher said. “At this time, we are unaware of any serious efforts to reschedule this meeting in the near future. As a result, filing the bill during this legislative session will be impossible.”

Hulscher also cited the example of Florida, where last year, Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo called for a “halt in the use of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines” over safety concerns that the mRNA technology delivers DNA contaminants into human cells.

State and local bans may lead to ‘federal action’ on mRNA products

Last month, the Canadian province of Alberta issued its official COVID-19 response review, calling for an immediate halt in the administration of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

In October 2024, an official report by the government of Slovakia recommended mRNA vaccines be banned after determining they are “dangerous.”

That month, the Port Hedland Council in Australia passed a motion calling for the immediate suspension of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines and for the Australian government to ban the products.

“Given the overwhelming evidence, I am very optimistic that we will finally succeed in getting the mRNA injections off the market in some states,” Hulscher said. “This could trigger a chain reaction … that forces federal action.”

In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples across international borders, Nigerian politician Adamu Garba has accused the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) of funding Islamic terrorist groups, including Boko Haram and ISIS, in Nigeria. Garba, a prominent member of Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress, claims that USAID funds have been used to purchase weapons for these groups, which have waged a brutal campaign of violence against Christians in the region.

Boko Haram, often operating under the guise of Fulani herdsmen, has terrorized northeastern Nigeria for years. Their tactics include burning homes, killing men, and kidnapping and raping women and girls. A 2018 report by Voice of the Martyrs documented the displacement of over 300,000 people and the deaths of more than 500 individuals in that year alone. Garba’s allegations suggest that these atrocities were bankrolled, at least in part, by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Garba’s claims align with recent statements by U.S. Congressman Scott Perry, who during a February 12 hearing titled “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” accused USAID of misdirecting 697 million to terrorist organizations. Perry highlighted a specific example in which 136 million intended for the construction of 120 schools in Pakistan vanished without a trace.

“I mentioned this before that Boko Haram, ISWAP, and most of these terrorists, the weapons they get are actually funded by some clandestine foreign operators,” Garba stated in a video posted on his X page. “The exposé about USAID has confirmed that Boko Haram and all these terrorists are getting their weapons through the funding from USAID.”

Garba questioned the whereabouts of $824 million in USAID funding allocated to Nigeria last year, which was ostensibly intended for child mortality and education programs. “When did the money come in, where did it go to?” he asked. “These monies go to the funding of Boko Haram and kidnappers that are used to kill and destroy our land.”
