CAIR Calls on U.S. to Cut Ties with Anti-Muslim Mercenary Leading GHF Security in Gaza, Shut Down Mass Murdering Group

Doctors Without Borders report says Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution points are ‘sites of orchestrated killing and dehumanization.

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 8/7/2025) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on the Trump administration to cut ties with a reported anti-Muslim mercenary leading security for the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in Gaza.

The number of Palestinians slaughtered as they tried to obtain food for their starving families from GHF sites is approaching 2,000. The GHF program is part of Israel’s campaign of forced starvation in Gaza.

Zeteo reports: “A leader for a contractor providing security to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid site operation allegedly serves in a role in the Infidels Motorcycle Club, according to corporate records and two sources who have served as GHF contractors, including former Green Beret and 25-year veteran Anthony Aguilar.”

“The biker club’s mission statement emphasizes that it rejects the ‘radical jihadist movement,’ and says that it ‘will support the fight against terrorism as military members, contractors in support of the military, and as patriotic Americans supporting our fighting forces from the homeland.’ Its Facebook page encourages people who want to support the fight ‘against Islamic extremism’ to join their local chapter.”

A report published today by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) states:

“An analysis of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical data, patient testimonies, and firsthand medical witnessing at two MSF clinics in Gaza point to both targeted and indiscriminate violence by Israeli forces and private American contractors against starved Palestinians at food distribution sites run by the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). These are sites of orchestrated killing and dehumanization, said MSF.”

In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said:

“The reports that a virulently anti-Muslim mercenary leads security for the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation should not come as a surprise to anyone. This incompetent, homicidal mercenary organization and the war criminals of the Israeli occupation forces are responsible for massacring dozens of starving Palestinians on a daily basis.

“The Trump administration should cut any ties with this mercenary if the allegations about him are true, shut down the GHF, demand that Israel permit aid trucks to enter Gaza by land routes, and arrange for established humanitarian agencies to retake full control over aid distribution in Gaza.”
