This is an interview with Anthony Aguilar, the ex green beret US American forces guy who was working in the aid distribution zones in Gaza and was on bbc news recently. The interview is 27 minutes long so presume most people won't watch it so here's the gist:
He talks about the logistics of the aid sites and how they're purposely dangerous, like 'mouse traps'. He says how they've gone from 400 UN distribution points spread around Gaza to just 4, which are in dangerous areas that Gazans have to walk up to 12 kilometres (one way) through danger zones where the idf shoot them. Some of them become displaced trying to make it home as they can't get through the dangerous areas.
He talks about the little kid who kissed his hand and thanked him and how he saw the kid walk away and the IDF murder him. He gets pictures of other kids that thanked him and tells about people who've come for food (and were in no way a threat) and that the idf would not just shoot machine guns but tank rounds, mortars and missiles at them.
If anyone's gonna watch one bit of this watch 21 minutes in where he talks about how some Gazans were in a crowd and they held their kids up because they were being crushed, and an idf guy tells him to get the kids down "or I will". Anthony Aguilar says it's under control, but the idf guy rings a sniper and tells him to "take these kids out"...
He says that what he's seen in Gaza is worse than when he was fighting ISIS - "Barbaric use of force against an unarmed population". He's been on missions in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan amongst other places. He seems extremely well respected and a reliable source.
It looks like Aguilar is doing the rounds - he's just had done an interview with Tucker Carlson of which the first part is out. Good to see that more people will hear his account, which is another small step towards potentially ending this horror.
