The Evangelical Connection of Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

The Evangelical Connection of Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

The head of the Gaza Relief Fund is an evangelist, an outspoken opponent of LGBT rights and a close associate of Trump. The body that chose the company that will run the aid site has a presence of evangelical supporters. Trump's ambassador to Israel is an avowed evangelist.

Yaniv Kobovich and Bar Peleg recently reported in Haaretz that a group of businessmen and reserve officers connected to Roman Goffman, the prime minister's military secretary, began planning the Israeli takeover of Gaza shortly after Oct. 7. The group, which calls itself the "Mikveh Israel Forum", includes businessmen Liran Tankman, a high-tech cyber expert; Yotam Hacohen, founder and owner of Dulog; and the American-Israeli businessman Michael Eisenberg. This forum, according to the article, led to the selection of SRS as the person to manage the distribution of aid in Gaza.

In the same context, it is worth noting that SRS, which was selected by the Goffman team, is a shell company of Two Ocean Trust – a company that specializes in the important field of how to keep the huge amount of money that is in the families of wealthy people within the family, and how to increase this capital with the help of investments, government capital connections, and reducing tax payments to a minimum.

At the same time, the CEO of GHF – the humanitarian aid fund for Gaza, which uses SRS to "secure" the aid – resigned and was replaced by evangelical leader Johnny Moore. Moore serves on the board of directors of the Friendship Foundation, and he headed the team of evangelical advisers to Trump's 2016 campaign.

Moore is an excellent example of the hyper-capitalist, war-loving, and anti-gender agenda of the evangelical right in the United States. (-snip-) The connection between people like Huckabee and Moore to the right-wing government and the settler leaders is a sign of moral low. Under the auspices of global evangelical support, Israel is carrying out the destruction of Gaza, believing that there are enough influential Christian fundamentalists in the world to ensure that sanctions against Israel are always vetoed. At the same time, Christian and Jewish fundamentalism are mixing into a complete disregard for human life, whether they are two million people above the surface or 53 abducted underground; Whether they sleep in their bed in the West Bank, or if they are besieged with their captors in the home of Psi Cohen in Be'eri.
