New WaPo piece insinuating Hamas systematically looted aid is sourced to some Gazans, but also:
Anonymous Israeli officials;
@afalkhatib (Atlantic Council guy who has tried to divert responsibility for the starvation from Israel to the UN*)
Buried many paragraphs into the piece is a remarkable statement: "Israel has not provided public proof that Hamas has systematically stolen aid brought into Gaza under the U.N. system, and despite requests from The Washington Post to officials in the IDF, the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the prime minister’s office, no evidence has been provided to substantiate reports of widespread diversion of U.N. food aid." This is remarkable because nobody denies Hamas has looted aid episodically, rather they deny it is systematic.
Timing is interesting: right when starvation is spreading, Israel's decision to abolish the previous (UN) aid scheme is effectively being defended in our media, based on patchy sourcing.
