Intelligence "Designed as Death Traps": Fmr. Green Beret Who Worked at Gaza Food Sites Reveals Rampant War Crimes [View all]
Democracy Now: AMY GOODMAN
“As more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed seeking aid at militarized aid distribution sites run by the U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a former GHF security contractor tells Democracy Now! he saw U.S. mercenaries and Israeli forces commit war crimes by indiscriminately shooting at starving Palestinians waiting for aid. “What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland,” says Anthony Aguilar, a retired U.S. soldier who worked as a subcontractor with UG Solutions in the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid delivery operation. “We, the United States, are complicit. We are involved, hand in hand, in the atrocities and the genocide that is currently undergoing in Gaza.”
AMY GOODMAN: In related news, a group of at least 21 U.S. senators has written to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, urging the U.S. to stop funding the shadowy U.S.- and Israeli-backed so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which was created to take over aid deliveries in Gaza, replacing the United Nations. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen is the lead author of the letter. He appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday and said the aid sites have been turned into death traps.
SEN. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: American taxpayers should not be spending one penny to fund this private organization, backed by mercenaries and by the IDF, that has become a death trap. Over a thousand people have died from being shot and killed as starving people crowd to try to get food at just these four sites.
