U.S. progresses plans to occupy Gaza
Israel has manufactured a famine so the US can use it as a trojan horse to occupy Gaza.
[precis based on this Code Pink alert]
US veterans-turned-mercenaries employed by the perversely named Gaza Humanitarian Foundation landed at ‘Ben Gurion’ Airport over the weekend. Their arrival provides the clearest indication yet that the U.S. and Israel remain hand in glove and have no intention of even pausing the genocide in Gaza, Israel is good to go for mass starvation and full ethnic cleansing.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is to carry out Israel’s plan for starvation level aid distribution. They will patrol south-central Gaza, thus assisting Israel’s plans to ethnically cleanse the north.
Why is the U.S. involved in this plan? Clearly the intention is to occupy Gaza.
Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s executive director is Jake Woods, one of the 3,000 US troops who occupied Haiti after the 2010 earthquake under the guise of humanitarian assistance. US mercenaries have been in Gaza for months.
UNRWA were an obvious obstacle to this plan - but via smears, killings and exclusions, Israel has removed that problem. Israel has manufactured a famine so the US can use it as a trojan horse to occupy Gaza. NATO and the U.S. have lots of form for geopolitical power grabs disguised as ‘humanitarian interventions’.
Trump has already outlined his plans for a resort in Gaza and now we should take them seriously.
The GHF will operate alongside two US companies, UG Solutions and Safe Reach Solutions. Heavily armed UG Solutions mercenaries were pictured in Gaza earlier this year operating checkpoints to split the north and south of Gaza.
Safe Reach Solutions, are headed by Philip F. Reilly, a former CIA paramilitary chief who worked for private mercenary company Blackwater.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is an imperialist gambit. to put some distance between the U.S. and an occupation while providing a veil of legitimacy. If we had a functioning class of journalists it would be exposed, but instead it falls to us.
What this shows is that famine is being used as a weapon by Israel and the U.S.
No doubt the UK and the EU have been briefed on these plans and so have changed their PR strategy from stonewalling, foot-dragging and denial to sad-faced ‘concern’ for the ‘humanitarian crisis’.
Of course the Western powers could end the famine in Gaza with a phone call, but they don’t want to because it is a useful part of an overarching plan for the occupation and exploitation of Gaza.
When this operation is finished - Israel will turn on the West Bank with a spring in its step, its plans for a Greater Israel and an ethnically cleansed Palestine proceeding very nicely indeed.
