  • Scandal-stained Israeli ‘rescue’ group fuels October 7 fabrications - The Grayzone

    Tout petit extrait d’un long long article qui détaille minutieusement les inventions, mensonges et autres forfaitures des deux principales organisations de juifs extrémistes qui diffusent les pies mensonges qu’avalent pieusement responsables politiques et animateurs médiatiques (je réserve le mot journaliste à d’autres usages). A méditer à l’heure où se déchaîne une nouvelle campagne sur les crimes sexuels de masse commis par la Résistance.

    Meshi-Zahav’s illicit behavior extended to ZAKA’s financial operations. A 2013 report by Israel’s Mako found the CEO successfully siphoned off millions of donations to the organization to finance his opulent lifestyle, including a luxury villa. When the rape allegations emerged eight years later, Israeli media revealed that Zaka’s used shadow organizations managed by Meshi-Zahav’s family to funnel money back into the private accounts of the organization’s leadership.

    In 2022, a Haaretz investigation established that ZAKA increased its share of state funding by lying to the Israeli government, inflating its number of volunteers by 2,000. Landau appeared to be involved in the grift, claiming in 2019 that his group oversaw 3,000 volunteers when, in fact, only about 1,000 were active.

    From early October to the time of this article’s publication, ZAKA has raked in $3.3 million of a fundraising target that was recently updated from $3 to $4.5 million. Donors who chip in over $1,000 are promised a decorative medal commemorating Israel’s “Iron Swords” military assault on Gaza.

    As a 2016 Haaretz investigation explained, Zaka has been engaged in an intense battle for publicity — and the money that follows it — with similar Orthodox auxiliary rescue teams. Among its top rivals is a group called United Hatzalah, which is also capitalizing on October 7 and Israel’s ensuing campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza to raise loads of money for its operations.

    In their own bid for attention, United Hatzalah’s director cooked up perhaps the most absurd atrocity fabrication yet.
