Will you donate $5 to expose Israel’s ongoing U.S.-backed slaughter in Gaza?

Overnight on Monday, Israel killed seven workers from the international aid group World Central Kitchen as they attempted to deliver food to starving civilians in Gaza.

And what is the Biden administration doing in the wake of the attack?

They’re getting ready to send Israel a massive cache of 2,000- and 500-pound bombs and dozens of F-15 fighter jets.

Major U.S. news outlets continue to parrot the Biden administration’s claims of concern about Palestinian lives while downplaying the direct role played by the U.S. as Israel’s primary arms dealer.

Not The Intercept. We’re exposing the truth about Israel’s U.S.-backed war in Gaza. But with no corporate advertisers clamoring to support this kind of journalism, we rely on reader donations to support our work.

Will you make a donation to help support The Intercept’s ongoing reporting on Israel’s U.S.-backed siege of Gaza?

Nearly 200 humanitarian workers have been killed since Israel’s assault on Gaza began, and World Central Kitchen described Monday night’s attack as a “targeted attack.”

World Central Kitchen, founded in 2010 by chef José Andrés, immediately ceased operations in Gaza, shutting off one of the few remaining aid sources for a population already suffering mass starvation.

This comes after the Biden administration cut off funding for UNRWA, the U.N. agency in charge of providing aid to Palestinian refugees.

As international human rights advocate Amed Khan wrote in The Intercept last week, “Israel’s devastating bombardment of Gaza wouldn’t be possible without tens of thousands of bombs and guided munitions sent by the U.S. since October 7.”

And the Biden administration’s blank-check support for Israel’s war on Gaza is enabled by the overwhelming anti-Palestinian bias that pervades most U.S. media coverage of the war.

The Intercept refuses to go along with the pro-Israel groupthink that dominates the media debate in Washington. However, without reader support, our model of nonprofit journalism simply isn’t sustainable in the long term.

That’s why we’re asking you today: Please donate whatever you can to help The Intercept continue to bring the truth to light about Israel’s U.S.-backed war in Gaza.
