Is Israel Starving Palestinians?
A Firsthand Report from the Border
There’s a growing claim in the global media that Israel is blocking food and aid from reaching Palestinians in Gaza. But what’s actually happening on the ground?
In this episode, we’re joined by Yair Pinto, an Israeli believer, IDF reservist, and voice on TBN Israel. Yair recently returned from a UN distribution facility near the Gaza border, where millions of meals are sitting untouched—spoiling in the heat. From what he’s seen firsthand, the problem isn’t the supply. It’s the systems of control and obstruction.
Together, we take a closer look at how Hamas and the UN are shaping the flow of humanitarian aid, the double standards Israel continues to face, and what we can do to cut through the confusion from afar.
If you’ve been trying to sort out what’s real and what’s rhetoric, this is an episode worth your time.
Key Takeaways:
October 7 wasn’t just a terror attack - it launched a war across multiple fronts, including the battlefield of global opinion.
Yair’s unique voice - as an IDF soldier, a Messianic Jew, and a media communicator - brings clarity few can offer.
The truth about humanitarian aid: Israel sends it. Hamas steals it. The UN looks the other way.
The war is spiritual: Satan hates a faithful God - and Israel is His proof.
The media war is being lost - but truth still has a remnant.
Israel’s fight is defensive, not imperial: It’s survival against genocidal hatred.
Many Palestinians remain under the grip of Hamas ideology, not because of race or religion, but radical indoctrination.
Even amidst sirens and rockets, God is still doing miracles in Israel.
Prayer matters - especially for the children, the hostages, and even for Israel’s enemies.
