Israeli settlers are blocking aid trucks carrying flour to starving families in Gaza.

I guess Israeli settlers are stopping and destroying aid meant for starving Palestinians, so that Israel-first politicians in the West can accuse Hamas of stealing the aid… pic.twitter.com/6ECMP23g8r

You can hate Jews for all I care, but if you're in a hurricane zone, that should be taken into account zero!

We’re finally back home from our summer beach vacation.
While I was away, I saw the news that MIGA had hit a new high with the idea of cutting off federal disaster assistance to states and cities which refuse to swear a loyalty oath to Israel!
“WASHINGTON – U.S. states and cities that boycott Israeli companies will be denied federal aid for natural disaster preparedness, President Donald Trump‘s administraton announced, tying routine federal funding to its political stance.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency stated in grant notices posted Aug. 1 that states must follow its “terms and conditions.” Those conditions require they certify they will not sever “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies” to qualify for funding.
The requirement applies to at least $1.9 billion that states rely on to cover search-and-rescue equipment, emergency manager salaries and backup power systems, among other expenses, according to 11 agency grant notices reviewed by Reuters. …”
“In a reversal, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will not deny grants to states and cities that boycott Israeli companies, the Trump administration said on Monday.
In grant notices posted in recent days, FEMA had said that states and cities needed to follow “terms and conditions” set forth by its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, that prohibited grantees from “limiting commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies.”
But on Monday, D.H.S. took down that version of its terms and conditions and replaced it with a new document that does not mention Israeli boycotts. Tricia McLaughlin, a D.H.S. spokeswoman, also said on Monday that “there is no FEMA requirement tied to Israel.” …”
Officially, the policy was quickly walked back within hours.
As Saagar explains below, DHS is still reserving the right to do it to “fight antisemitism.” It doesn’t get more Israel First than putting the interests of mobs of violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank ahead of American taxpayers suffering from natural disasters in their own communities.
Note: Look at these lovely people in the X videos who share our “Western values.”
