The organization was established after United Nations aid trucks had repeatedly been looted by Hamas members and criminal gangs before reaching civilians.
This week radical activists vandalized the home of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation director John Acree, painting death threats on his driveway and slashing his tires while he was overseas coordinating food deliveries to starving Palestinians in Gaza.
Two anti-Israel groups claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attack on Acree’s Virginia residence, posting pictures of the vandalism on social media.
Eye on Palestine wrote that “John Acree, the Interim Executive Director of the GHF, had his home and vehicle targeted by American activists due to his involvement in war crimes in Gaza. These attacks were linked to his role in U.S.-Israeli distribution centers — often referred to as ‘death traps.’”

Another organization, WearThePeace, backed the threatening vandalism over what they claimed was “his complicity in genocide as thousands have been killed and injured at the aid death traps.”
At the same time vandals were targeting his American home, Acree faced protests at his Tel Aviv hotel. Radical Bloc, an Israeli left-wing organization based in Jaffa, organized demonstrations outside where the humanitarian official was staying.
“We’re confronting GHF’s leaders in Tel Aviv — CEO John Acree, spokesperson Chapin Fay, and their team. GHF is not a humanitarian organization — it’s a weapon of genocide. We will find them, disrupt them everywhere until the siege is lifted and GHF is dismantled,” Radical Bloc wrote on X.
Acree leads the American-managed, Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which began distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza in May.
His organization was established after United Nations aid trucks had repeatedly been looted by Hamas members and criminal gangs before reaching civilians.
Hamas has been accused of financing its war against Israel by selling stolen aid on the black market at prices most Gazans cannot afford.
GHF’s mission is bypassing Hamas entirely to provide free deliveries of food, water and essential supplies directly to Palestinian civilians.
But Hamas has repeatedly threatened GHF operations and sought to disrupt aid distribution.
Several Palestinian civilians have testified that Hamas gunmen killed local residents at GHF aid sites, though much of the international community continues placing primary blame on Israel for incidents in the area.
In June, Hamas terrorists attacked a bus carrying more than two dozen GHF Palestinian staff members, killing eight and injuring others.
“Tonight, at approximately 10 p.m., Gaza time, a bus carrying more than two-dozen members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation team, local Palestinians working side-by-side with the U.S. GHF team to deliver critical aid, were brutally attacked by Hamas. At the time of the attack, our team was en route to one of our distribution centers in the area west of Khan Younis, GHF Executive Chairman Rev. Johnnie Moore wrote on X at the time.
Despite facing threats from both Hamas in Gaza and activists at home, GHF has continued expanding operations.
Since launching food delivery operations, the foundation has delivered more than 105 million meals directly to Palestinian civilians in need, according to Acree’s recent statements.
GHF has urged the United Nations to work together with them to address food insecurity in Gaza, saying the U.N. appears to focus on Israel’s role in the crisis rather than improving aid distribution in the territory.
