PBS Fact Checks Netanyahu's Speech to Congress

Here’s a look at the facts:

CLAIM: “Israel has enabled more than 40,000 aid trucks to enter Gaza. That’s half a million tons of food. And that’s more than 3,000 calories for every man, woman and child in Gaza. If there are Palestinians in Gaza who aren’t getting enough food, it’s not because Israel is blocking it. It’s because Hamas is stealing it.”

THE FACTS: Israel initially imposed a complete siege on Gaza in the early days of the war and, under U.S. pressure, gradually eased it to allow the entry of food and humanitarian supplies. While Israel says it allows hundreds of truckloads of goods to enter Gaza each day, the United Nations and aid groups say they are often unable to reach it or distribute it.

They say ongoing Israeli military operations and fighting with Hamas and lawlessness makes it too difficult to operate. U.N. officials say criminal gangs have targeted aid trucks. But a top U.S. envoy said Israel has presented no evidence for claims Hamas is stealing aid, adding that Israel’s killing of Gaza police commanders guarding truck convoys have made it nearly impossible to distribute goods.

International experts have repeatedly warned that Gaza faces widespread severe hunger and the territory is on the brink of famine.

Pretty much everything he said turned out to be a lie.

Are Congresspersons so ill-informed, or are they simply not willing to listen to any of the facts provided by experts? Either way . . .

As an aside, when asked about starvation in Gaza, the google-type search engine, Perplexity, said that Israel is not starving Gazans. However, when I showed it what it "didn't know," it apologized for being incorrect. Whatever I challenged it on, it eventually accepted the facts and apologized for being its shortsighted searches.
