DeCamp is news editor for antiwar.com. He is host of “Antiwar News With Dave DeCamp.”
He just wrote the piece “Israeli Military and Israeli-Backed Gang Shoot Aid Seekers in Gaza, Killing 14,” which states: “Israeli forces and an Israeli-backed gang fired on Palestinians near an aid distribution point in the southern Gaza city of Rafah on Monday, killing 14 people, The Associated Press has reported. The report cited witnesses to the massacre who said gunfire came from a gang led by Yasser Abu Shabab, a criminal who has been involved in looting aid trucks. It was just recently revealed that Israel has been arming the gang, which has members who have ties to ISIS.”
Last week, DeCamp reported “Israel Is Arming an ‘ISIS-Affiliated’ Gang in Southern Gaza.” The following day, CNN reported “Israel confirms it is arming Hamas rivals in operation opposition calls ‘complete madness.’“
DeCamp also just wrote the piece “Report: Mike Huckabee Working To Keep Netanyahu in Power,” which states: “U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has been working to help keep Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in power by meeting with members of the coalition in the Knesset who are threatening to dissolve the government, Israeli media have reported. … Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid responded to the report, saying it would amount to interference in Israel’s internal politics if it were true.”
