DHS ARRESTS Jewish Anti-Zionists Protesting US-Israel Armament


Katie interviews Ash Bohrer, a hunger striker from Jewish Voice for Peace Chicago. Ash was arrested by DHS earlier today along with eight other JVP members after refusing to leave Senator Tammy Duckworth’s Chicago office and calling for an end to U.S. weapons to Israel. Katie and Ash discuss the origins of JVP's hunger strike, American contractors for the Gaza "Humanitarian" Foundation shooting into crowds seeking aid, and the Gaza-Ireland connection.

U.S. contractors tell the AP their colleagues are shooting at Palestinians seeking food in Gaza

American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press.

Two U.S. contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers’ internal operations, said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices. They said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished.

They said their colleagues regularly lobbed stun grenades and pepper spray in the direction of the Palestinians. One contractor said bullets were fired in all directions — in the air, into the ground and at times toward the Palestinians, recalling at least one instance where he thought someone had been hit.

Last month, the U.S. government pledged $30 million for the group to continue operations — the first known U.S. donation to the group, whose other funding sources remain opaque.




"As Trump prepares to cut billions from Medicaid and SNAP: He’s used over $12 billion of our taxes for weapons to Israel since taking office,” the IMEU Policy Project, a pro-Palestine advocacy organisation based in the US, said in a social media post. “He announced $510 million more for weapons to Israel just this week.”
