Yes. Excellent article. As I wrote a year ago, we need to recognize the Gaza war (and what was publicly spoken about as a famine) as a suicide attack. Only by doing so can we properly analyze it and then seek to prevent future repititions: https://alighthouse.substack.com/p/gazas-famine-is-a-suicide-attack

Riboua confirms here what I have been suspecting for some time. Many if not all of these NGOs are not honest with their contributors. I have been and continue to be one of them. Overstating the horror of the conditions in Gaza is almost forgivable when trying to gain support. Providing cover for the complicity of Hamas in creating those conditions is not. Nor is placing the onus on the state of Israel for them.

The kicker being that the NGOs are doing the same things in the West. Subverting the will of the people , while leeching off a common budget.

Excellent examination of the situation in Gaza and perhaps the entire world. Who knows, Venezuela and Latin America could be next. Distorted governance is prevalent.

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts.

The podcast linked below is a great complement to this piece. True believers in their NGO's (Amnesty International's and Human Rights Watch's) missions paint the same picture as Zineb does here from perspectives high in the organizations.

And that’s the entire global system, Ireland for example has 60,000 NGOS.

Which aren’t, they’re government vendors And cut outs
