Andy Verity, Tom Beal, and Will Dahlgreen report on an amusing situation in which US Muslim-hating veterans are protecting aid sites in Gaza. Not only that, but they're also members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club to add to the fun.
They're employed by UG Solutions which, according to its website, has a foundation rooted in service and a deeply held commitment to providing assistance to vulnerable groups in high-risk environments,
and is a purpose-driven organization working to provide safety and security to complex humanitarian challenges around the world.
I guess they don't get much more complex than one of America's allies grabbing land from a nation state that it doesn't recognise, and then Americans having to protect the people of that state while at the same time hating them.
"We do not screen for personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance or security standards. Every team member undergoes comprehensive background checks, and only qualified, vetted individuals are deployed on UG Solutions operations," UGS said.

That's an interesting deflect, isn't it? You'd think that affiliation with a group that expresses hatred for the people you're supposed to protect would be relevant to job suitability, if not performance. I guess their HR department is even more retarded than those I've come across, and that's saying something.
Anyhow, this is just a thinly-veiled opportunity to rag on the BBC's own retards. Again.
The banner advertises the logo of a company he owns which sells T-shirts and other clothing, including one which has the slogan "embrace violence" and another which says: "Surf all day, rockets all night. Gaza summer 25."

As I've noted before, I—possibly erroneously—take double quotation marks to represent a quotation that's taken verbatim. So, it's enlightening that the threesome cannot transcribe a T-shirt slogan accurately. Fortunately, they provided an image of their source material, so at least we can verify that aspect of their reportage, if nothing else.
