Eyewitness to Gaza’s Death Traps: A conversation with Anthony Aguilar

Join us October 16th as we bring the first-hand account of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation whistleblower Anthony Aguilar to Brookland Busboys & Poets in Washington D.C. Aguilar is a former U.S. Army Green Beret who was hired as a security contractor for humanitarian aid sites earlier this year. He quickly saw that the aid delivery centers were “designed as death traps” for the starving civilians of Gaza, and he witnessed Israeli and American forces shooting at hundreds of hungry Palestinians trying to access food. 

RSVP now for Thursday’s event! (The event is free to attend!)

Aguilar is one of the only Americans to witness Israel’s genocide in Gaza first hand. He is a powerful voice exposing the truth of what happened to the Palestinian people and calling for justice. 

He will be in conversation with Defending Rights & Dissent Policy Director Chip Gibbons, who has extensively reported on whistleblowers, especially those sounding the alarm on human rights abuses committed in the name of national security. Chip is author of the forthcoming FBI history The Imperial Bureau. 

Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Aguilar is a decorated, 25-year Army veteran who was awarded the Purple Heart after being wounded in combat. Earlier this month, Aguilar disrupted at Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing to denounce U.S. complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

A ceasefire was finally agreed to in Gaza. The U.S. and Israel say they will ramp up humanitarian aid delivery in Gaza. But can they be trusted? The fight for justice and accountability for war crimes continues.
