If you are an American, you must listen to this. American hero—25 years service, 12 deployments, Purple Heart, Bronze Star & ARCOM Medalist, etc—talks about the conditions he witnessed in Gaza. Conditions that your government has a big hand in, and your tax money is paying for.
Part one of our interview with retired Green Beret Lt. Col. Tony Aguilar, who says he witnessed war crimes in Gaza. Next week, his detailed response to the attacks against him. (0:00) What Is the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation? (8:52) Aguilar Details the Atrocities Taking Place in Gaza (12:03) To What Extent Is the US Involved in the Destruction of Gaza? (14:39) Is Israel Providing Any Aid to the Palestinians? (20:34) What Is the Death Toll in Gaza? (24:31) How Are People in Gaza Getting Food? (29:20) Who Is Johnnie Moore? (32:36) Who Is Funding the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation? (38:10) How Is Aguilar Treated by the IDF? (43:17) How Does the IDF Treat Palestinian Civilians? (46:04) The Killing of Palestinians at Aid Distribution Sites (56:47) The Killing of Amir (1:07:12) The Attempts to Discredit Aguilar (1:13:30) What Should the Trump Administration Do About This?
