A Call for a General Strike - The Gaza Hunting Fields - What does it take to organise this via GHF?

Gaza Hunting Fields.
Gaza Humanitarian Foundation?

CEO quits, replaced with Evangelical Ideologue.

"GHF's founding CEO, Jake Wood, resigned last week, saying the foundation could not operate while maintaining the core humanitarian principles of independence, impartiality, and integrity.

On Tuesday, the foundation named his replacement, Rev. Johnnie Moore - a staunchly pro-Zionist evangelical pastor and former Donald Trump appointee to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom."

Detailed report from Al Jazeera on how the GHF system is operating.

“It was chaos - a real struggle. Men, women, children, all crammed together, pushing to grab whatever they could. No queues, no system - just hunger and disorder,” al-Assar added. From a distance, plumes of dust could be seen as people rushed to grab whatever they could. Israel has not allowed food into the Strip for nearly three months, adding to people's desperation.Shots were then heard as Palestinians ducked for cover. Israeli forces say they opened fire into the air to control the crowds, however, injuries sustained by Palestinians on the ground suggest gunshots were fired into the crowd."

In the one month of operations, at least 1 thousand have been shot and killed, many more maimed. Many shot in the back as they fled from the violence. The vast majority of people arriving to these sites leave empty handed. How desperate does one have to be to take this kind of risk, just to get a small portion of food for one's children?
A Siege, a medieval practice, in the 21st Century. Backed by almost every Western Government.
'Israel does have that right' according to Sir Keir Starmer.
So.

What does it take to plan design, resource, build and populate the Gaza Hunting Fields?

People crammed into feeder lanes to be allowed run to the platform tables where aid is stacked, to grab what they can. No organised system of handing food packs to people, no organised functional filtering of what goods people might need. A person might grab a box and find no food, only diapers and soaps. What is this?

Planning Meetings

Some people sat in a boardroom and discussed a problem, brain storming ideas, setting out objectives.

They assessed desired outcomes, undesired outcomes, unforeseen and foreseeable consequences, they spoke about and wrote about strategic planning and tactical operations.

Another team made detailed architectural plans based on land surveys. Quantity surveyors thought through the logistics of building supplies, someone planned the works, estimating how many workers would be required to get the project in on time and within budget.

Yeah, someone spent time on the budget for all of this.

Then the Military and Security Services sat in boardrooms and operations command posts and worked out their part of the scheme, fully aware of the intentional cruelty they were about to embark upon.

They and others in the PMC (private military contractor) industry discussed hiring mercenaries to work front line delivery, they looked at the support those hired helpers would need.

Someone discussed toilets, cooking and serving facilities for frontline staff, accomodation, communications, shift rotas, medical support, wages and management.

No cooked food would be provided, to be distributed, this is no food kitchen.

It is a trap laden with bait, packages of random aid, laid out for starving men from starving families who are forced to take immense risk just to grab a small pack of what they hope is food, for their watery eyed, translucent skinned wasting away slowly children, many already too skinny from siege-famine, already a war crime.

Crime upon crime upon crime, calculated layered depravity, amidst international participation and complicity, the bodies, more than 75k ( Professor Michael Spagat of Royal Holloway, University of London, June 2025) and likely up to 186k (Lancet June 2024) and more, as recently estimated by their respective teams of analysts.

The Gaza Health Ministry is unable to provide accurate numbers of deaths, and records only those it sees. Tens of thousands are missing, or buried under rubble, and so the harm to Gazans continues, unabated.

The maimed and traumatised, and the still able bodied try to live on in the Israeli USUK created hellscape that is Gaza today - where children are starving to death, their mothers are under total blockade, all faced daily bombings by Jets, shootings by soldiers and quad copters, shelling by tanks and artillery.

Grown men and women sat down and planned all of this.

Politicians worked through their publicity approach. They had to sell this to the people as a good thing.

Hundreds of millions of dollars/shekels/pounds/Deutsch Euros have been and are being deployed, most of it from State taxes, paid by workers and shoppers and corporations, and State borrowings, which future tax payers will pay off.

Irish Central Bank sells Israeli War Bonds. The buyers will want to ensure the Israeli State is protected, if only to insure their investment.

When will the Western populations of workers call a general strike to impede Western support for this abject behaviour?

A general Strike aimed at every element of Government and Industry that supports the Israeli Occupation State, every element that is refusing to uphold International Law at pace.

What are we waiting for?

Israeli Combat Teams fire on Gazan civilians searching for food aid. No excuses.

We sit here and watch, wherever we are, acutely aware that we are not there, that those who are are suffering terribly. We want this to stop, already.

A State cannot be capable of such atrocity, let alone enabled, supplied, protected and validated.

A State doing this intentionally, and smugly un-apologetic about it all?

Jeez!

That cannot be right!

Looking at the screen, not believing what we are seeing, in almost real time, our hearts and minds shaken and clouded with confusion, fury, sorrow. We cannot turn away, We are witnesses and we are companions in the long march to social and material and indigenous freedom from oppression, finally at peace and thriving.

Watching in horror, grief and outrage as a dusty multitude of Palestinian people are moving along, mostly in one direction, walking and running along by the sea front, a massive nervous crowd, many heads glancing back towards the camera, checking. For as far as the camera show can see into the horizon.

They all know that death is in the air, Israeli warships are off the coast. That kinda thing makes on nervous.

A biblical multitude, a sea of people, by the sea, in Gaza. An ocean of tears.

The waves of the Mediterranean break onto the sunlit shoreline in the background of the shot.

An ocean of tears. Everyone dusted by the dust of pulverised concrete…

Where there was once a road and many buildings, landmarks and trees, a bustling, functioning city, full of people and lives being lived is nothing but rubble and a wide path cut through it.

The Israeli Military had had their way. They have left their mark. These are not battle marks. These are a military campaign of urban demolition. The developers have moved in, and started the deconstruction of the site.

A barren wasteland of urban materials crumpled aside into piles of rubble, around skeletal remains still standing to make a super wide traffic flow space for Israeli military vehicles.

You’ve seen the images of that sea side road of death.

As far as the eye can see, people moving, moving towards the desperate hope to get some food, trying, hoping to find some food from the aid supply trucks, all along the aid delivery line.

These people are starving. They are being starved, deliberately.

The are exposed to continuous traumatic distress, all day, 247, for 5 months and more.

They don’t have enough food. The food is there, and is being blocked by the Israeli Military.

This is being prosecuted by an industrial scale mechanised, hi-tech multi-platform military machine, and it’s suppliers and supporters.

They don’t have enough water. The water could be made available, nearly all the civil water sanitation has been destroyed.

Flattened earth theory. Erasing the civil topography, chasing the inhabitants away, extirpating the cultural sites, the graveyards, the memorials. Erasing a Nation.

Medieval.

2024

Given the situation, the only sound action is for the Israeli Military action cease, and withdraw, as aid, help, personnel are flowing in, and those in acute need who need modern health care and surgical services can be transferred. There's so much work that must start now. There is no excuse.

The politics is infuriating.

The power struggles and gaming and brinkmanship and horse trading - delaying whilst munitions are being launched upon homeless Palestinian civilians - are make what is already a complex vast scale human made catastrophe much more complicated a task to help those people than it ever needs to be. Unless being deployed bye the Israeli state as a weapon. Collective Punishment.

What use is International Law if the leading powers routinely ignore such Laws, with impunity?

Just stop!

That's it. Stop. Stay stopped and talk. Enough,

Hurricane Irma Devastation in the Carribean. And Tax Havens.

How many of the Carribean Islands that have been devastated by the Hurricanes are Tax Havens under British Law?

Tax havens are a legal loophole to willfully withold contributing to that tax revenue.

How about a Hurricane Devastation Tax on that immense and amoral welath hoard to help those Islanders, mostly non-white, to rebuild and to rebuild with resilience in mind, considering the likelihood of more Hurricanes on the horizon?

I see no reasonable objection to a one off HDT fromthat vast hoard being raised to help rebuild the homes, infrastructure and the lives of the residents of these Islands.

And another thing!

The UK Government is funded on a day to day basis mostly by the taxes PAYE and Self Employed workers pay on work and sales taxes and other sundry taxes.

That money does not belong to the Government. It belongs to the people of the UK.

The Government holds our taxes in trust.

This is the 21st Century, not the 18th Century, when income tax was introduced to fund the wars against France.

That trust has profound implications, an implied duty of care - which clearly suggests that when it is spent or utilised, the policy must be wholly evidence based; opinion, ideology or religion are inadequate in this regard, in that all three are based on omitting some evidence.

It's time the general public understood this basic metric for healthy democratic governance, and dealt with the issues arising from that.

One really simple understanding that could transform our Country, without any violence.

Just pure evidence based logic. And decency.

Many claim that the British State is Christian State. I do see the irony or discordance in my previous statement that Religious belief is not a sound basis for policy decisions.

Nonetheless.

What would Christ suggest in all of this?

Thank you for reading this blog. All we need to do is be really honest, responsive to the evidence we find,and ready to reassess when new evidence emerges. The rest is easy.
