This recently-released security camera footage shows the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel- in this case, at the Erez Crossing, between the Israeli kibbutz located there and Palestinian Beit Hanoun. While there are no deaths shown amid the destruction and chaos, the video does show Palestine Red Crescent Society medics retrieving an armed, wounded Hamas militant.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society is an independent humanitarian aid organization founded in 1969 to “alleviate human suffering through emergency medical services, the delivery of preventative and curative health care and rehab services.” They also claim to “endeavor to promote humanitarian values, Fundamental Principles and international humanitarian law”- a statement made more than a little hollow by these medics walking a literal gun-toting terrorist to their ambulance. Some circles would call that “aiding and abbeting.”

Here is another sterling example of the PRCS in action, looting and abandoning one of their patients shortly after Oct. 7. Also, here’s PRCS staged and waiting to provide service to a young Palestinian protester who’s about to get shot for throwing things at IDF instead of actual preventative care, which in this case might include stopping him from throwing stuff. If it seems like I might feel some type of way about these “humanitarians”, you’re probably right.
