"Evangelical Politics Over Palestinian Lives: U.S. Hijacks Gaza Aid Mission"
In a deeply alarming move, the U.S. government has installed a radical evangelical figure to lead the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) — a controversial, U.S.-backed initiative already mired in scandal and bloodshed.
Johnnie Moore, a former Trump adviser and outspoken apologist for Israeli violence, has been named chief of the GHF after its original head, Jake Wood, resigned in protest. Moore, who infamously dismissed credible reports of mass killings at GHF aid sites as mere “fictional massacres,” now presides over a mission that has already seen over 75 Palestinians gunned down by Israeli forces while seeking food and medical supplies — all within the first week of operation.
Wood stepped down citing the GHF’s utter failure to meet the basic humanitarian standards of neutrality, independence, and humanity. His exit coincides with a wave of partner organizations abandoning the project in response to the killings and the politicization of aid.
By appointing Moore — a man whose track record prioritizes ideology over compassion — the U.S. has effectively turned a humanitarian lifeline into a propaganda tool. This is not humanitarianism. It is a grotesque betrayal of the principles it claims to uphold, and yet another stain on America’s role in this unfolding catastrophe.

Its time to call it genocide?
Throughout history, the gravest atrocities have often been committed in secrecy. Perpetrators understood the moral weight of their actions—they hid them, denied them, and cloaked them in euphemisms. But what happens when there is no longer an attempt to hide? What does it mean when the truth is spoken openly?
This is the situation unfolding in Gaza today. The pretense has fallen away.
What was once concealed is now declared: ethnic cleansing has become an openly acknowledged policy of the Israeli government. High-ranking officials are voicing it without hesitation or apology. Where there was once minimal pretense, now there is none. These public declarations, coupled with the widespread destruction and loss of life on the ground, point to something even more harrowing: the reality of genocide.
On May 11, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told lawmakers that the goal of Israel’s military campaign is to make large areas of Gaza uninhabitable, stating: “We are destroying more and more homes. They have nowhere to return to.”
Even figures from the Trump administration—arguably one of the most pro-Israel in U.S. history—have acknowledged the gravity of the situation. Former special envoy Steve Witkoff recently remarked: “Israel is not ready to end the war. Israel is prolonging the war, even though we do not see where further progress can be made.
When a state's intent to displace and destroy becomes explicit, it compels the world—especially its allies—to confront moral responsibility. For many Americans, long accustomed to viewing Israel as a liberal ally, its actions in Gaza challenge that perception. Statements from Israeli cabinet ministers like Avi Dichter and Bezalel Smotrich have openly advocated for mass displacement and the permanent devastation of Gaza. This rhetoric is not fringe—it comes from the highest levels of government.
Such language, historically associated with ethnic cleansing, now overlaps with actions that meet the criteria for genocide. Ethnic cleansing aims to remove a population; genocide seeks its destruction. Gaza today is witnessing both.
The scale of devastation is catastrophic. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has described the campaign as a "war of annihilation." Estimates suggest up to 109,000 Palestinians may have been killed—around 5% of the prewar population—far exceeding official tallies. Over 90% of Gazans have been displaced, and most housing has been damaged or destroyed.
Israel’s siege has also created a man-made humanitarian disaster. For ten weeks, food and aid were blocked, leading to widespread starvation. Nearly a quarter of the population now faces catastrophic hunger, and more than 70,000 children under five are acutely malnourished.
What is unfolding is not just a military conflict—it is a deliberate campaign of erasure, both of lives and of a people’s place in the world.
Denial or Deflection
Logically speaking, if a reporter had questioned Hitler or high-ranking Nazi officials about the genocide of Jews during World War II, would they have acknowledged it? Given the regime’s reliance on propaganda, how might they have responded?
What Hitler or Nazi officials likely would have said: Denial or Deflection: Publicly, Nazi leaders denied mass killings or framed deportations as "resettlement."
Sounds familiar?
