On Friday Tucker Carlson interviewed retired Green Beret Lt. Col. Tony Aguilar who discussed his experience working private security for food aid workers in Gaza. Aguilar painted a grim picture of utter devastation, massive amounts of death, starvation and brutal war crimes committed by Israel. After Aguilar said his former employer lashed out at him over his interview, Aguilar went back on Carlson’s show Wednesday to discuss the backlash.
Carlson said that Johnnie Moore, an evangelical who was appointed the executive chairman of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (a nonprofit that Aguilar’s former employer UG Solutions worked with) went on television and called Aguilar a liar.

Perhaps the most shocking phenomenon Aguilar said he witnessed (and filmed) in Gaza was Israel’s method of ensuring Palestinians follow the right path into and out of the food distribution centers. Aguilar begins explaining this method at 47:00 in the Friday interview.
“As they’re coming to the site the IDF shoot at them! Machine guns, mortars, tank rounds, artillery,” Aguilar said around 48:00 in the Friday interview. “I have all this on video”
At 48:10 into the Friday interview Carlson played video footage of this live-fire feeding method.
Loudspeakers with translators and signs were proposed by Aguilar as methods of showing the Palestinians where to go, instead of live ammunition fire, but he said he was told that those options would cost too much money, despite ammunition also costing money and being one-time use, unlike a sign.
Aguilar said he met a starving boy at one of the food distribution centers, but as the boy left the center he watched Israeli soldiers murdered him due to their method of ‘directing’ the crowd.
According to Aguilar, he was called a liar over this claim and presented with images of the alleged boy, which Aguilar said was a different boy. Ironically, Aguilar said he took both the pictures himself, which Carlson showed at 1:29:20 in the Wednesday interview.
According to what Aguilar told Carlson, he did the math and found that there is no way the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is able to feed all the people of Gaza based on the amounts of food they provide. Not only that, but he also said there is not enough food distribution centers and the ones that do exist are in the far corner of Gaza, miles from the people, causing them to have to walk miles in order to feed.
He also said that they only are supplied with dried food that takes water to cook, but no water is supplied and he is unsure where the people of Gaza could attain water. He said the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation also does not supply other necessary goods people need, such as sanitary items.

Aguilar said he terminated his contract with UG Solutions (quitting in protest), although the way his former employer is painting it is that the company terminated him, according to what he told Carlson on Wednesday.
Aguilar said that Moore called him a Hamas sympathizer, which Aguilar said is laughable, being that as a former U.S. military member he fought against radical Islam. He clarified that he was honorably discharged from the U.S. military as well.

On Tuesday Trump said it is “up to Israel” whether they will occupy all of Gaza.
“As far as the rest of it, I really can’t say. That’s going to be pretty much up to Israel,” Trump said after explaining that he is focused on getting “people fed” in Gaza.
