US Biker Gang with Anti-Islamic History Guards Deadly Gaza Aid Sites | BBC News

Investigation into Gaza Aid Security

• 🔍 A BBC investigation reveals that a private contractor, UG Solutions (UGS), is using members of the US-based Infidels Motorcycle Club to provide armed security at aid distribution sites in Gaza.
• 🎯 These sites are run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an operation backed by Israel and the United States, where hundreds of civilians seeking food have been killed.

The Infidels Motorcycle Club

• 🏍️ The Infidels MC, founded by US military veterans of the Iraq War in 2006, takes its name from the Arabic word 'kafir,' meaning 'unbeliever' or 'infidel.'
• ⚔️ The group's iconography includes a skull logo, the Punisher symbol (appropriated by white supremacists), and the word 'kafir' in Arabic script.
• ✝️ Many members display Crusader cross tattoos and celebrate the year 1095, the launch year of the First Crusade, viewing themselves as modern-day crusaders.
• 🚫 Their social media has featured anti-Muslim hate speech, and they have previously held a pig roast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Involvement and Motivation

• 💰 Ex-veterans are attracted to the security work for the significant financial compensation, with payments reportedly around $980 per day for regular members and up to $1,500 for team leaders.
• 👥 At least 40 bikers are estimated to be among the 320 people hired by UGS.

Contractor and Foundation Responses

• 💼 UG Solutions stated they do not screen employees for personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance, but do conduct background checks.
• ✅ The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation maintains a zero-tolerance policy for any hateful, discriminatory biases or conduct.
