In Gaza food is “wrapped in humiliation and disgrace”
JVL Introduction
At the end of this piece written by one of many contractors employed to provide security to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation food distribution, I have added one of several pieces written by Palestinians who came to the distribution centres trying to get food. The contractor is clearly appalled by what was happening and, of the lack of training notes: “…you have guys with hardly any knowledge of the culture, no deployment experience, and are not necessarily qualified to be using the weapons they had in charge of security at aid sites in a place where we know millions are desperate for aid. What could go wrong?”
Meanwhile not one shot has been fired by Palestinians. And their experience? As this testimony from the other side of the situation shows, it is heartbreaking and sickening. Israel seems to be using any excuse to shoot Palestinians and any excuse not to provide food and water. He managed to get some food which he says was: “food wrapped in humiliation and disgrace, after we had once lived with dignity.”

EXCLUSIVE: American Security Contractor Unloads On US-Israeli ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’
I thought I was signing up for an aid mission. But what I’ve witnessed in Gaza is horrific.

I’m crying reading this. Is there no humanity left in the world that can put a stop to this horrific experience?
The perpetrators of these foul crimes against the Palestinians don’t believe they’ll ever pay for what they’ve done, in jail time, reparations to the victims still alive (to their families and the State of Palestine if not) and the shame their kin feel by being related to them. We MUST ensure they’re wrong. Justice demands it.
Some perpetrators will die of natural causes before they can be held to account. Others may only face justice when they’re old (like the German secretary and guard prosecuted in their nineties for their crimes in Nazi death camps). There are so many wrongdoers to be arrested and put before the law courts that many nations across the world will have to share the workload.
I hope our political leaders will learn what they should already know – you stop evil when it starts; if you don’t, the number of victims and the costs of stopping it will rise inexorably and horribly.
Words fail.
Gaza is Auschwitz 2 . Instead of German SS , we have IDF Baby Killing Cowards.
WHY was anyone so gullible to believe an Israeli/ US scheme to feed Palestinians was anything but another ruse to corrall them into a small space to kill them.. They’ve done similar so many times.. Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel.. I posted my fears online & so many others KNEW it was an evil plan.. Israel has one agenda ( & always has) to annihilate Palestinians & wipe Palestine off the Map & the face of the Earth..
