“You’ve heard a lot of propaganda about violent attacks around the GHF sites here. It’s all lies generated by Hamas to discredit the GHF,” Kemp said in a video posted online. Kemp claimed Hamas hates the GHF because it delivers aid directly to Palestinians without Hamas interference. But while he spoke, the sound of machine gun fire was clearly and repeatedly heard in the background. The Haaretz report, published earlier this week, includes shocking testimonies from Israeli soldiers. They confirmed that commanders ordered them to shoot unarmed, starved civilians approaching aid centers, many of them in desperate search of food and water. “They shoot as if the crowd is an attacking force,” said one Israeli soldier. “No tear gas, no warnings, just bullets, mortars, and grenades.” In a separate video shared by Kemp, a group of starved Palestinians can be heard chanting “We love you, Trump,” before desperately pleading: “Give us water. Do you have water?” The video went viral. Viewers quickly pointed out the background gunfire. When asked about it, Kemp dismissed concerns and said, “It’s a war zone.” His note contradicts that fact that these “GHF aid centers” are located in so-called Israeli red zones; areas completely under Israeli military control where no Palestinian presence is allowed. Rescue teams have reportedly been shot at while trying to reach the wounded in these areas. Despite clear audio of gunfire and direct soldier accounts, Kemp continues to defend the aid operation and dismiss the evidence. Critics argue that his presence at GHF sites serves as a propaganda tool to mask the genocide. The Haaretz investigation revealed that Israeli forces use starvation as a tactic to control and punish Gaza’s population. Soldiers admitted they received direct orders to open fire on civilians near food sites, even when there was no threat. One commander said the massacres at GHF sites are called the operation “Salty Fish,” a twisted play on the children’s game “Red Light, Green Light.” Kemp is zionist and has long defended Israeli military actions. He has repeatedly praised the Israeli army and has spoken at pro-Israel conferences. His public loyalty to Israel has drawn criticism, especially as he continues to speak against human rights reports and survivor testimonies from Gaza.Richard Kemp lies through his back teeth that the ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ isn’t killing ppl just before his firing squad start shooting pic.twitter.com/kjoqYt22F8
