President Trump is whining during his vacation in Scotland for not getting a thank you note after he claimed that two weeks ago the US gave $60 million worth of food to the Palestinians in Gaza, adding that he deserved to be thanked for this. Fact checks, Mr. Trump did not specify where these funds have come from or to whom they have been sent but last month. However, The Guardian revealed that the US had authorized a $30m grant to the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

First of all, I have lived in America for nearly 50 years, and I don't recall any presidents before him, Republican or Democrat, who required a "thank you" for any aid they provided in times of need. Why should Gazans thank this crybaby for something they have not received? Unless it came out of his pocket, why should there be a thank you to him anyway? 47 is very good in spreading misinformation. 

A former security contractor for Gaza's controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid distribution sites for GHF has told the BBC that he witnessed colleagues opening fire several times on hungry Palestinians who had posed no threat including with machine guns.

On one occasion, he said a guard had opened fire from a watchtower with a machine gun because a group of women, children, and elderly people were moving too slowly away from the site.

A U.S. Veteran and former GHF told the BBC, "Witnessed war crimes in Gaza

A retired U.S. special forces officer says Israeli troops and international contractors opened fire on unarmed civilians near aid sites in Gaza." 

As usual, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and IDF reject the allegations as false and politically motivated.

Another former U.S. military personnel have reported troubling incidents involving the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) staff.

A retired U.S. special forces officer stated he witnessed Israeli and American personnel opening fire on unarmed Palestinians while working at a humanitarian aid site in Gaza, according to AP report which was published by the Israeli daily Haaretz. 

Israel’s military said on Sunday that it would suspend its activity from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day until further notice in accordance with government directives. Secure routes for the passage of aid will be permanently established open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., it added.

The Wall Street Journal reported today Sunday July 27, 2025, that "Israel announced a tactical pause in military activity in parts of the Gaza Strip and the establishment of safe routes for humanitarian aid, as a deadly hunger crisis spreads across the enclave."

However, according to a news article by Japan Today.com, Israeli troops opened fire Monday as crowds tried to reach Israeli- and U.S.-supported food distribution centers in Gaza, witnesses said. The 34 people killed, according to health officials, made it the deadliest day of such shootings since the new aid system launched last month. Trump never condemned the massacre or tweeted about it. 

By the way, what was our Liar-in-Chief doing yesterday when the Israeli pirates hijacked the Gaza-bound Handala flotilla that was carrying baby formula, diapers, food, & medicine? The passengers were detained & the cargo was seized. The organizers said the boat was intercepted "in international waters outside Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza in violation of international maritime law."  I would have been the first Palestinian to send him a thank you note had he condemned the hijacking of Handala and kidnapping of its crew. But what do you expect from the crybaby who is complicit in Gaza genocide?

The Gaza Freedom flotilla coalition was sailing to break the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza. The Handala departed for Gaza on Sunday from the Italian port of Gallipoli after stops in Augusta and Siracusa in Sicily. The journey to Gaza may take around 7 days.

Twenty-one persons from 10 countries are onboard the Handala, including seven U.S. citizens, representing the hundreds of millions of Americans who are strongly opposed to the U.S. complicity in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, said Break the Siege on Gaza spokesperson Ann Wright. Where is Mr. America First when you need him?

For the record, I know Mrs. Wright as she is a friend of mine. Ann Wright is a retired U.S. Army Colonel and a former U.S. diplomat who resigned in 2003 in opposition to the U.S. war on Iraq. She is a member of the U.S. Boats to Gaza and is on the steering committee of the Gaza flotilla coalition. Ann was in Gaza 10 times between 2009-and 2014 and was on two flotilla boats that were seized in international waters in 2010 and 2016. She was imprisoned and also deported according to her bio. Miss Wright received the State Department Award for Heroism in 1997 after helping to evacuate several thousand people during the civil war in Sierra Leone. 

She is a retired United States Army colonel and retired U.S. State Department official, known for her outspoken opposition to the Iraq War. She received the State Department Award for Heroism in 1997 after helping to evacuate several thousand people during the civil war in Sierra Leone.

Trump strikes me as cocky as a peacock who spreads his feathers to impress his mates. No wonder Stephen Flynn, who is the Scottish National Party MP, said he couldn't meet Trump on his visit because Flynn said he is busy washing his hair even though Flynn is bald. Truth is, Trump's embarrassment causes shame and silence for Americans in Scottland. He is not only complicit in the Gaza genocide, but he does not make a bone about it. In addition, he just doesn't want you to talk about #epstein and/or US role in the Gaza genocide.
