REFUTE GAZA GENOCIDE CLAIMS WITH FACTS

PLEASE SHARE AND SEND FACTS:

1. Contrary to media reports, the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) did NOT find that it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Joan Donaghue, then president of the ICJ, stated in a recent interview with the BBC that the ICJ findings have been misquoted and misconstrued. The ICJ only found, without regard to any Israeli operations, that Gaza would have a plausible right to be protected from genocide and that South Africa had standing to bring that claim.

2. John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at Westpoint, wrote an Op Ed in Newsweek stating that based on his extensive knowledge and research, Israel “has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history.”

3. Using Gaza Health Ministry numbers for total deaths in Gaza and IDF information on combatant death (which is not separately reported by the Gaza Health Ministry), the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in Gaza is 1:1, which is SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER than the UN average civilian to combatant death ratio for urban warfare of 9:1.

4. Palestinian Media Watch posted a video from the Awdah Palestinian TV channel owned by Fatah in which they stated that Hamas intentionally manufactured a food crisis in Gaza by attacking aid delivery workers and stealing food and water.

5. There has been a 500% increase in the Gaza population since 1950. For 2022, population growth in Gaza was 4%, compared to a world average of 0.8%. The average life expectancy in Gaza is 75 years old, compared to an average in the Middle East of 72 years old and a world average of 70 years old. See statistics published by World Bank and the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).

Remembering Emma Igual

On March 5, 2022, just 12 days after the Russians invaded Ukraine, I flew to Europe to assist with the mass evacuation of children and refugees. I had no idea then, that within a few months, I would become the founder of a 501(c)3 charity organization called Project Aid & Rescue, Inc. (PAR). Our mission is to aid with medicine, medical equipment, food, supplies and the evacuation of Ukrainians that have been injured or no longer have a safe place to live.

Like so many people from around the world who dropped everything and put their own lives on hold, I joined an independent, (and initially), a very unorganized group of volunteers from all walks of life, who came together in what has become the largest grassroots humanitarian effort since WW2.

We are businessmen and women, doctors and nurses and teachers, sales professionals, housewives, former soldiers and pilots.

Men and women who were simply living their lives before February 24, 2022, but have now become l very good at logistics and operations securing and transporting millions of tons into Ukraine and performing miracle medical evacuations under extreme secrecy.

One such organization we have supported and partnered with is a group of independent pilots with their own small planes based out of Germany, called Ukraine Air Rescue

Together, we have brought medical supplies into Ukraine and brought injured people out of Ukraine to receive medical care in other countries. All of this has been funded by independent people.

In February of this year, my friend Kay from Ukraine Air Rescue, introduced me to a young woman by the name of Emma Igual from Spain, who was the Director of a humanitarian aid organization named Road to Relief. They were in need of several ambulances as well as medical supplies and asked me for help.

Over the next six months, I spoke with Emma several times and Project Aid & Rescue helped Emma and Road to Relief obtain some of the equipment and supplies she was requesting.

This past June, with our partner Charita Shteynberg from World of Connections, we shipped them thousands of antibiotics‘s and other medications for them to use in their ambulances to treat evacuees and the injured.

Like Kay and Emma, I have met and worked with hundreds of amazing people from around the world, and we have developed a network of teams, partners, and associations, who have worked together for the greater good, in order to do what we can to reduce the suffering of the Ukrainian people.

On the morning of September 11, 2023 Emma and 3 other members of the Road to Relief team left from Slovyansk and drove towards Bakhmut to assess the needs of civilians caught in the crossfire in the town of Ivanivske, Bakhmut Region, Donetsk, Oblast.

As they drove through Chasiv Yar, west of Bakhmut, they came under attack and their vehicle suffered a direct hit from a Russian ATGM (anti-tank guided missile). Their vehicle flipped over and caught on fire.

In the vehicle was German medical volunteer, Reuben Mawick, Swedish volunteer, Johan Mathias Thyr, Canadian volunteer Anthony “Tonko” Ihnat, and my friend, Spanish Volunteer and Road to Relief Director, Emma Igual.

Reuben and Johan were badly injured with shrapnel and burns, while Tonko and Emma were killed.

The blatant attack and murder of medical volunteers, (a team who I personally knew, and supported), has hit many of us very hard.

Emma Igual had become legendary for assisting thousands of Ukrainians.

Emma, was a young 32 year old, Jewish woman from Spain. She was inspired by her grandmother who survived the Holocaust. While at Berkeley, Emma decided that aiding other humans was a Jewish value to which she would dedicate her life. It is clear that she was beloved by the Ukrainian humanitarian community and those she saved. So, I invite anyone, whether attending church or attending synagogue on Yom Kippur, to consider saying kaddish or a memorial prayer for Emma and Tonko and the entire Road to Relief organization.

Like so many volunteers, Emma was a modern day Jewish heroine.

May her memory be a blessing.

Almost 7 months ago, we evacuated a large family from the city of Zmiyiv after another shelling of the city's community by rashists. Today we visited Zmiiv again and shipped another humanitarian aid to the local hospital. Together with our partners, the Project Aid & Rescue Foundation, we continue to work to help the society, communities and the Ukrainian resistance.

Майже 7 місяців тому ми евакуювали багатодітну сім'ю зі Змієва після чергового обстрілу громади міста рашистами. Сьогодні ми знову відвідали Зміїв і відправили чергову гуманітарну допомогу до місцевої лікарні. Разом з нашими партнерами, фондом Project Aid & Rescue, ми продовжуємо працювати, щоб допомогти суспільству, громадам та українському опору.

Jeff's birthday fundraiser for Project Aid & Rescue.

For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Project Aid & Rescue, Inc.. I've chosen this nonprofit because as the founder, our mission means a lot to me, and I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate our efforts. Every donation will help us reach our goal. I've included information about Project Aid & Rescue.

https://aidandrescue.org/donate/

On March 7th 2022, twelve days after Russian forces invaded Ukraine, I volunteered as a First Responder and flew to Europe to help with the evacuation of 200 orphans from Odessa to Berlin. While in Berlin, we observed thousands of Ukrainian refugees arriving daily on hundreds of buses and trains. Many had been running from war for a week or longer and had no place to sleep. 90% were women and children. During March and April, I personally organized and secured hotel rooms for nearly 2,000 women, children and elderly refugees thanks to donors like you who read my story and stepped up to help.
Upon returning home to the United States, I founded Project Aid & Rescue (PAR), which together with our partner organizations, have already delivered more than $30 Million in IFAK trauma kits, medicines, bandages, ambulances, generators and other humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and we have evacuated thousands of people from the war.
