Retired U.S. Special Forces officer Anthony Aguilar was hired by private contractor UG Solutions to provide security for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a for-profit entity funded to the tune of $30 million by the U.S. government to distribute food aid in Gaza. But the project was ill-fated from its inception. A good faith commitment to feeding Gazans would been leaving the U.N. Relief and Works Agency intact. Four hundred distribution sites under UNRWA became just four under GHF's control, and Palestinian corpses accumulated at distribution sites as contractors shot at crowds and distributed meagre meals to a starving population. Meanwhile, contractors being paid $1200 per day slept in luxury across the border in Israel, while they ordered Domino's Pizza to feed Palestinian staffers that had not been provided for. In his shocking testimony, Aguilar blows the whistle on offenses more egregious than you can imagine.

0:00.0	The dehumanization of the Palestinians, that is a real thing. Forcing human beings who are
0:07.3	starving to come and get food and they have to crawl on the ground and pick up pieces of
0:12.0	food from the ground, or they have to fight each other over the last bag of rice because it's a
0:17.6	matter of survival. The Israelis are in a very deliberate campaign to dehumanize the population, and the United States is right there along with it.

1:37.2	I had eased into retirement life pretty comfortably.
1:40.7	My wife is also a retired Army officer.
1:43.5	We've missed a lot of life events together,
1:46.4	anniversaries, birthdays, birthdays, Christmases. And so I was really enjoying the easing into
1:51.5	retirement life and enjoying being a father and a present husband and wasn't looking for contract
1:58.6	work, wasn't looking for the next adventure.
2:02.2	UG Solutions called me.
2:04.4	UG Solutions is the subcontract company that I worked for as a contract security operator.
2:09.8	They called me on May 13th and made me aware of this contract and of this opportunity.
2:15.7	At first, I wasn't necessarily all in. I had some questions.
