⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱JUST IN: U.S. contractor and former Green Beret Anthony Agular, who worked for the U.S.-Israeli-backed GHF, speaks out, sharing the story of a Palestinian child named Amir who went to get aid but was killed, prompting Agular to break his silence:
On May 28, at secure distribution site #2, this young boy, Amir, walks over to me, reaches out & kisses my hand. This boy is not wearing shoes. His clothes are falling off of him because he is so skinny .He doesnt have a box, he has half a bag of rice , lentils, and he was thanking us.
He walked 12 kilometers to get there & when he got there he thanked us for the crumbs he got & he set them on the ground & his frail, skeletal, emaciated hands, and he kissed me and said 'thank you.'
And then he collected his items, walked back to the group, and then he was shot at with pepper spray, and tear gas, and stunt grenades, and bullets, and he was shot at, at his feet and in the air, and he runs away...and the IDF were shooting at the crowd they are shooting and they are shooting into this crowd & Palestinians, civilians, human beings, are dropping to the ground, and Amir was one of them... Amir walked 12 kilometers to get food, got nothing but scraps, thanked us for it, and died.

(381 posts)How anyone can listen to this and not be broken is beyond me. Every time I try to eat, I see his little face. Free Palestine.

On this very website, in a different forum, there are cries of "unwarranted global persecution and outrage" against a "certain group" for supporting this monstrous and unholy fucking slaughter!
Fuck that goddamn twisted bullshit!
Ban me for saying that, and I'll fucking wear it proudly!

This doesn't help.
Let's pay 6.5 million to food support to starving victims.

(381 posts)Augular is no spring chicken. He's a Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel retired from the US Army with lots of combat experience. And, he's actually on Israel's side. His grandmother is a Holocaust survivor. Not only that, but the TONS of photographic evidence coming out of Gaza supports what he says and contradicts every lie from the Israeli government and IDF. It's not helping the IDF that its own soldiers are posting videos of their war crimes against Amalek they were brainwashed to eradicate. Augular is no Hamas sympathizer as you can hear in the full video. He's a bit brainwashed by Israeli talking points but draws the line at war crimes, like decent soldier does. He even defends the IDF soldiers and puts the blame on the GHF leadership and planning.
Live ammunition for crowd control? Explain that one Israel. Explain luring Gazans south into cauldrons. Explain dumping the meager aid and letting people run for it in a free for all. Explain the tanks firing at the crowds. Explain the cheers when people get shot. Explain your own soldiers coming forward. Explain all the dead and starving. All the hasbara in the world copied from the IDF's press kit website won't whitewash these war crimes.
