He is then prepared to work with the terrorists...the illegal Israeli occupying Israeli regime? To him all customers are right! Sounds like a dangerous lunatic. Free Palestine! Jeff.

If there's anything less ethical than a genocidal army it's probably a mercenary army that will commit or enable genocide for money. We share this planet with some despicable humans.

Kahana sounds very creepy to me! And being friends with Eric Prince is not a recommendation.

This is chilling. These are the people who wanted to flood the tunnels with saltwater. They don't care what they destroy. Also the IDF is the reason that food cannot get into Gaza. Remember when they bombed and killed the Gazan police men who arranged an orderly peaceful distribution of flour? And I guess they plan for the US to pay for this ‼️JFC

The same thing history taught about religion; never, ever, let a religion have an army, ought to apply even more strongly to corporations.

Even the corporation that started with the "Don't be evil" corporate mantra quickly scrapped it. The same disaster that placing access to medical care behind the wall of corporate employers proved for American citizens would only be placed on super-steroids by granting unaccountable corporations the power of life and death through licensing them to unleash lethal violence against civilians.

We might just as well issue articles of incorporation to drug cartels and street gangs and trust them to govern so long as they pay some taxes and hire lobbyists to make election contributions (bribes) to cartel political parties.

This idea is the hatchling of an insane mind.

How are these entities, GDC, Constellis, Blackwater (which changed its name), any different from Russia’s Wagner mercenaries? They aren’t. It’s damning enough that this present US administration has been joined at the hip with the Israeli genocide(s), but it also is a channel for these sorts of clandestine organizations. Prince is with the Trump team and Kahana is with Harris. When it comes to Israeli war crimes support, doesn’t seem to be any difference.

So when do we stop paying taxes outright? How do we end this?

Now I understand why the genocidal Israeli occupation forces didn’t flood the Gaza tunnels: It would make Gaza unlivable and therefore useless to the Zionist Final Solution of takeover of all of Palestine and extermination of Palestinians, which include Arabs, Christians and Jews.

As to these mercenaries, armed mercenary and humanitarian aide are two realities that do not go together. This mercenary proposing to conduct humanitarian aid distribution seems to ignore the fact that the US list the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. As an armed force, this mercenary company would still be an occupying force. Its owner is operating under the illusion that it will triumph over Hamas, the al-Qassam Brigades, and other armed resistance groups where the settler colonial apartheid state of Israel and the US and it’s allys have not. This mercenary force will only be contributing to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, against which the world is rising.

On another note, your story raises the issue, and reveals, policies of the Departments of Defense and of State to use mercenaries. In light of astounding military failures, exactly what do they contribute? They appear to be guarding sensitive positions, for example, embassies. I am no supporter of war and especially of the US military actions against other countries, but I cannot accept that mercenaries will fight to their last breath to protect US personnel and property. The number of US military deaths and injuries, both mental and physical, are testament to that commitment.

Lastly, how much money is spent on these mercenaries that could be better used on US troops and their families, especially where there is no significant difference to the mission or operation.

It appears that these mercenary companies are just another means for private corporations to suck money off government coffers while people in the US are condemned for receiving any type of US aide. Please recall that where corporations are concerned, millions of dollars are sucked up by top management who basically do nothing and by investors who do absolutely nothing.

Great comment. Especially last para about the dynamic around private companies, top management and investors gleefully profiteering from war and in Palestine, genocide. Grotesque and shameful.

He sounds like a true psychopath, how are these people actually real. Great reporting as always.

I kept reading, faster, paragraph by paragraph, hoping to find a drop of sanity or pathos in this Moti person. He comes off as a carpetbagger -- scouring a genocide to see what's profitable and might sell nicely to a national murder cult. Creating an expensive surveillance state, with deterrence force would incentivize the already angered nations to disembowel Israel once and for all. Let's just say Mr. Kahana is blinded by shekels and thoroughly out of touch with the Gazan's reality and Ben Gvir's resettlement dreams. Great reporting, of course!

Probably a test case, before they roll it out in the US, along with Lavender Ai
