IDF Shoots Boy Moments after Receiving Aid from US Soldier
In a heartbreaking moment shared on a recent podcast, a US soldier recounted a scene that continues to haunt him from his time stationed at the GHF aid distribution point in Gaza.
"Amir, a frail child, barefoot, walked 12 kilometres under the sun to reach the distribution point. He only received a handful of rice and lentils from the ground. He approached me, kissed my hand, and said: 'Thank you.' Minutes later, as he was leaving with the rest of the civilians, the Israeli army fired gas and bullets, and Amir was killed on the spot."
Scenes like this are not isolated. Aid distribution centres in Gaza have become “death traps,” where more than 1,050 Palestinians have been killed while trying to access food, many deliberately targeted with tear gas and live ammunition by Israeli forces and American private security contractors.
"Mo Chara’s real problem is that the message he put out landed. Working-class people aren’t meant to speak like this, organise like this, or connect struggles across borders like this. That’s what scares them.
While Mo Chara stands in the dock for allegedly waving a flag, those complicit in a genocide walk the streets untouched. Since October 2023, over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza – entire families erased, journalists targeted, children bombed in their beds.
More than 300 officials at the Foreign Office raised their concerns about Israel’s “stark … disregard for international law”. And yet, the UK government continues to greenlight arms deals and offer diplomatic cover. That’s not a performance. That’s a conscious policy decision. Made in Westminster, paid for by the taxpayer, and buried beneath silence.
They’ve tried this before. Give Ireland Back to the Irish – banned. Christy Moore – detained. The Pogues’ Streets of Sorrow – silenced for decades. And now, it seems to be Mo Chara – for turning protest into poetry, politics into art.
So here’s the question – the same one Pete Seeger asked, the same one Mo Chara asks now: Which side are you on?

The Israeli army killed 56 Palestinian civilians in Gaza today including 38 while they were trying to get humanitarian supplies near the so called “ human aid centers.“
"Let no Irishman throw a stone at the foreigner; he may hit his own clansman. Let no foreigner revile the Irish; he may be vilifying his own stock”
James Connolly, murdered by imperialist forces on this day in 1916.
Today small children in Gaza are dying of starvation.
Just a mile away hundreds of trucks sit full of food.
The IDF blocking them entering.
This is the face of the Israeli regime - evil beyond comprehension.
Don't forget what really scares them - being held to account and seeing young people across the world stand against genocide and apartheid 👇
GRMA for all the support in recent days a chairde Gael 💚🤍🧡🖤❤️
As First Minister, I’ve decided not to attend the White House events this year.
The US President’s comments on forced expulsion of the Palestinian people of Gaza cannot be ignored.
I will continue to engage with senior figures in the US for peace and economic growth.
In the future, when our children and grandchildren ask us what we did while the Palestinian people endured unimaginable suffering, I will say I stood firmly on the side of humanity.
