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 children, many skinny from siege famine, already a war crime.
Crime upon crime upon crime, calculated layered depravity, the bodies, more than 377,000 as recently estimated by Israeli Occupation Forces continue to pile high. The maimed and traumatised try to live on in Hell.
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?
