00:00In the Middle Ages, all the massacres against Jews were preceded by horrible vilifications.
00:07The lies that were leveled against the Jews spread around the globe.
00:11We were poisoning the wells. We were carriers of disease.
00:15We slaughtered Christian children in order to drink their blood.
00:19And this spread from country to country and created massacre after massacre,
00:26culminating in the worst massacre of them all, the Holocaust,
00:29in which 6 million innocent Jews were led to the slaughter.
00:34Today, the Jewish state is facing similar vilifications.
00:37They lie about us.
00:39They say that we are deliberately starving Palestinian children.
00:43That's a bare-faced lie.
00:46Since the beginning of the war, we have let in almost 2 million tons of food.
00:522 million tons of food for Palestinian civilians, Palestinian children.
00:57That's been our policy.
00:59But in the last few months, this humanitarian aid has been interdicted by Hamas looting.
01:06They steal the food from their own people.
01:08But in the last few months, that food has not been reaching the Palestinian civilians,
01:13because Hamas is stealing it.
01:15So we've decided to go around it.
01:17I've authorized the Israeli Air Force to airdrop humanitarian food and medical supplies to Palestinian civilians.
01:25We've invited other countries to join these airdrops, and many have.
01:30We've also designated safe corridors through which these trucks can travel without being looted by Hamas or endangered by combat
01:38activity.
01:39And we're talking now to our American friends about further steps to alleviate any possibility of hunger, or the appearance
01:47of hunger.
01:47We're committed to doing this, just as we're committing to free Gaza from the tyranny of these terrorists.
01:54And many Gazans come to us and they say, help us be free, help us be free of Hamas, of
02:00their terror, of their cruelty, of their tyranny.
02:05And that's what we will do.
