Ex-US contractor who accused IDF of war crimes at aid sites 'falsified documents' to spread 'false narrative,'...

GHF says, sharing evidence.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation accuses an American former contractor who alleged that he had seen fellow contractors and Israeli soldiers use “indiscriminate” force against civilians at aid sites of deliberately spreading a “false narrative” after he was fired for performance reasons.

--snip--

In the briefing, GHF spokesperson Chapin Fay shares the content of text messages that show that Aguilar was “terminated for misconduct,” and did not, as he claimed, resign from GHF’s security partner UG Solutions by choice. After he pleaded to be rehired and was turned away, he “threatened UG Solutions with retribution,” Fay says, citing a message sent by Aguilar on June 15 in which he warned that he could be the company’s “best friend or worst nightmare.”

The GHF spokesperson also accuses Aguilar of falsifying a memo sent to his superiors in which he raised concerns about UG Solutions’ policies in Gaza. While Aguilar claimed to have sent the memo on May 28, Fay shares metadata showing that he only sent it on June 21, after he was fired, and then backdated it to the previous month. The metadata also shows that he sent the memo to UG Solutions’ senior staff and to the press at the same time.

“Not only did the events that he recounted never happen, but he wasn’t even in the right place or at the right time to have seen the things that he claims to have seen,” he says. Along with the evidence presented in the briefing, GHF publishes a signed affidavit from UG Solutions staff members who worked with Aguilar and who contradict his claims.

i honestly wish i actually knew what was going on over there, but this is hardly the 1st claim that turned out to b total bs. like the ‘starving baby’ w the well fed brother and sibling. just saw that pic on fb today, days after the nyt had to walk that back.
if the ‘famine’ is so bad, y do they use pics like that to ‘prove’ it? and pics from yemen?
and who care about sudan? nobody, cuz they cant pin it on the jews.
blood libel, left and right.

what i am saying is that we dont know what is truth, and what is propaganda.
and what i object to is everyone placing the blame solely on israel, as tho hamas doesnt have a long history of hijacking aid for themselves, and selling it on the black market to fund their reign of terror.
imo, israel is being held to an insane standard. no country has ever gone to so much trouble to feed a country that waged war on it.

Naturally, the water gets muddy in the process. Easy to get confused when one makes no distinction between cause and effect.
