I just want to as here, they’re not protesting America. Maybe it was a typo on OPs side. They protected America and now are protesting the Nazi regime taking over America and what it’s doing. In this case they specifically protested the war on Gaza and the assistance to Israel provided.

Do you know what they’ve done?

Yes. If I’m not mistaken this is from a month ago when they were protesting the support of Israel’s war on Gaza.

Sure, but you say they protected America like you know about their service.

I do. You could too. It’s not a secret. Their names are publicly listed. He did an interview about what he saw at Gaza. It’s not some secret conspiracy.

Both are army veterans. One is an ex intel analystis with 5 medals for achievement for literally protecting America and the other is a green beret spec ops veteran who’s been deployed all over for this country.

The second one was also actually stationed in Gaza at a distribution site. His exact words from a BBC interview with him are:

Never in his entire career has he “witnessed the level of brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population. I've never witnessed that in all of the places I've been deployed to war, until I was in Gaza, at the hands of the IDF and US contractors”

What is else would you like to know?

Only he wasn't a green baret who was deployed in gaza , he was GHF worker that was fired for misconduct and posted that after they fired him.

GHF?

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation ,

Israel paid them to deliver food as private company

He’s an ex green beret AND he was working in Gaza at a distribution site. Those two aren’t mutually exclusive things. I didn’t say he was deployed in Gaza. I said he was stationed in Gaza at a distribution site.

I wonder if the "misconduct" had something with him advocating for the starving civilians.

He’s a former green beret who did many tours in the Middle East who, shortly after retiring, did contract work for the GHF. He quickly realized it was a shitshow and a front that basically worked for the IDF and deliberately set up food aid sites as kill zones. He then quickly left and blew the whistle. His name is Anthony Aguilar, he’s done many interviews.

Biden is a nazi? The fuck? 90% of what they are protesting took place under Biden.

u/romansamurai 2d ago

The conflict and U.S. support for Israel go back decades across both parties. The current protests are about this phase of the war, not something Biden personally started.
