French Professor Finds Israeli Military Cheering on Convoy Looters, Calls It History
KEY POINTS
- •French professor Jean-Pierre Filiu stayed over a month in Gaza, arriving in December at the southern zone of al-Mawasi.
- •He was hosted by an international humanitarian organisation during his stay amid ongoing conflict conditions.
- •Filiu reported seeing Israeli military security personnel failing to stop, and possibly aiding, looters attacking aid convoys.
- •He described his evidence as 'utterly convincing' regarding Israeli backing of these convoy raids during the crisis.
Jean-Pierre Filiu, a Middle East history professor at Sciences Po, did the tourist thing and spent over a month in Gaza starting December. Hosted by an international aid org in al-Mawasi's southern coastal strip, he reportedly witnessed Israeli security personnel being more like bystanders than bodyguards, allegedly letting looters raid aid convoys during the conflict. Filiu is convinced Israel backed these purloining parties, turning what should be humanitarian protection into something resembling a poorly directed reality show about convoy chaos. The precise timing? Around New Year’s, the least festive moment for aid workers to play 'who stole the supplies.'
