[Intro]
Went for something
(Got nothing)
[Verse 1]
Walked for miles
(No, no one smiles)
Says a mama from Gaza
(No humanity in man, see)
[Chorus]
Went for something
(Got nothing)
Children starved
(Of their innocence)
[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
Went for something
(Got nothing)
Rights carved and served
(Who will be the impetus)
The impetus amongst us
[Verse 2]
Walked for days
(Searching for ways)
Mama loves here baby
Will she survive (Stay alive?)
Chances are slim to maybe
[Chorus]
Went for something
(Got nothing)
Children starved
(Of their innocence)
[Bridge]
Went for something
(Got nothing)
Rights carved and served
(Who will be the impetus)
The impetus amongst us
[Chorus]
Went for something
(Got nothing)
Children starved
(Of their innocence)
[Outro]
Went for something
(Got nothing)
ABOUT THE SONG
“Got Nothing” is a song born from the rubble and resilience of Gaza, inspired by my new friend Ahmed Alkhateeb and his family, who are living under constant bombardment near Khan Younis after losing their home and store. Amid evacuation orders with nowhere to go, Ahmed, Hoda, and their children take comfort in nature videos, garden images, and dreams of the sea, which is a 30-minute walk away when it is safe enough to visit. Adam, their son, loves animals and dreams of becoming a veterinarian someday—a dream that remains stubbornly alive even as his childhood is stripped away by war.
This song is for them, and for every child whose laughter has been stolen but whose spirit still glows in moments of intelligent conversation, shared hope, and visions of a life beyond tents and rubble.
Musically, “Got Nothing” is a raw, genre-bending track weaving New Wave reggae, post-punk ska funk, industrial psychedelic, and Middle Eastern textures. It features the warm analog growl of my Vox ToneLab tube amp, layered with a Keizweil and Korg midi-linked organ and synthesizer to channel the chaos, heartbreak, and stubborn hope that live side-by-side in Gaza today.
“Got Nothing” is not just a cry of despair; it’s a reminder that even when the world offers nothing, the fight for dignity, innocence, and a future for our children must continue—no matter how uncertain the dawn.
Militarized Aid and War Crimes: The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s Deadly Operations Under Trump
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a private nonprofit incorporated in Delaware in February 2025 in cooperation with Donald Trump, stands at the center of mounting international outrage and investigation following allegations of grave human rights abuses in Gaza.
Originally established as an “alternative aid channel” amid the dismantling of UNRWA, GHF has received support and logistical backing from the U.S. and Israeli governments, employing private security contractors to distribute food and water through heavily fortified aid hubs. However, multiple eyewitness reports, satellite imagery analyses, and independent humanitarian monitors have accused GHF personnel of shooting unarmed, starving women and children attempting to access these critical supplies. Estimates indicate that over 700 civilians have been shot, most within proximity of GHF-controlled distribution centers, with many incidents involving GHF personnel or GHF-coordinated security forces.
GHF has also been accused of using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza by restricting the flow of aid to areas deemed politically noncompliant, violating international law and multiple Geneva Convention provisions. Humanitarian organizations, including Doctors Without Borders and the International Committee of the Red Cross, have condemned the foundation’s operations, warning that GHF’s approach is militarizing and politicizing aid delivery, resulting in the collective punishment of civilians.
Additional reports allege GHF’s cooperation with Israeli intelligence agencies, including the use of facial recognition software at checkpoints and distribution sites to identify and target individuals for arrest or extrajudicial execution. Several documented cases suggest that individuals flagged during aid collection were later detained or found dead under suspicious circumstances, raising concerns of systematic extrajudicial killings coordinated under the guise of humanitarian relief.
International law experts and human rights advocates argue that these actions constitute war crimes, including forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, and the use of starvation as a weapon. The United Nations has opened preliminary investigations, and the International Criminal Court (ICC) is reportedly reviewing evidence for potential prosecution of individuals involved, including senior GHF officials and affiliated government partners.
The situation in Gaza is not isolated in the scope of Trump’s activities. Donald Trump has also been implicated in war crimes in Ukraine and Iran, where his support for aggressive military actions, civilian-targeting operations, and violations of sovereignty have drawn condemnation from international legal bodies and further tarnished the United States’ standing on human rights.
Critics argue that GHF exemplifies the dangers of privatized, militarized humanitarian intervention, particularly under leadership driven by political agendas rather than human needs. By bypassing established relief networks, leveraging surveillance technology for political ends, and utilizing lethal force against desperate civilians, GHF has transformed aid into an instrument of violence and control in one of the world’s most vulnerable regions.
As investigations continue, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and its backers may become a defining case study in how humanitarian cover can be exploited to commit war crimes, enforce political objectives, and further erode the rule of law in global conflict zones.
Evangelical Christianity and Israel
If you’re curious about the driving force behind US support for Israel, it’s ironically rooted in Evangelical Christianity. Many Evangelical Christians believe they can hasten the “second coming of Christ” by bringing about the apocalypse. According to their interpretation of the Bible, this involves Israel reclaiming Jerusalem, Jesus returning, and ultimately eliminating all Jews. For numerous “Christian Zionists,” especially influential evangelists aligned with the Republican Party, support for Israel is less about political strategy and more about its supposed role in biblical prophecy. In this worldview, war is not something to be avoided but embraced as a divine necessity—an inevitable and even celebratory step toward Jesus’ rule from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The fate of Jews and Palestinians is, to put it mildly, seen as collateral damage.
