PNN – The United States, in cooperation with the security company U.G. Solutions, has dispatched the anti-Islamic bikers “Infidels” ostensibly to secure food lines in Gaza, but political and ideological goals lie behind this mission.
The Gaza Strip continues to face a severe humanitarian crisis; the long-term siege, shortages of food and medicine, and widespread civilian casualties have created conditions in which humanitarian aid distribution centers have become one of the few sources of hope and survival for the innocent people of the region. In such an environment, impartiality and transparency in the management of these centers are essential for maintaining public trust and preventing the escalation of tensions.
However, reports from international media outlets such as the BBC and the Guardian indicate that the American security company UG Solutions has used forces affiliated with the motorcycle group known as the Infidels Motorcycle Club in its aid missions in Gaza. The group is known in the United States for its openly anti-Islamic symbols and slogans, and the presence of its members in relief operations has raised serious concerns about the true nature of these missions.
The US government has justified this action under the guise of “ensuring the security of aid distribution centers,” but the use of individuals with extremist backgrounds and anti-Islamic positions instead of neutral and specialized forces raises the fundamental question before public opinion: what is the real purpose of such choices?
Disclosure of the story
A BBC investigative report, followed by additional coverage by The Guardian, has revealed a deeply disturbing reality: According to the reports, the American security firm UG Solutions, which is tasked with protecting Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) aid distribution centers, has employed at least 10 active members of the motorcycle gang Infidels. Of these individuals, 7 are in management and supervisory positions and are practically the main decision-makers in the field of security at these centers.
For example, in the image below, from right to left, you can see Larry Jarrett (aka G-Rod), who is introduced as the vice president of the Infidels motorcycle group and is in charge of logistics. Richard Laughton (aka E-Tracker), a founding member of the group, leads the security team at another distribution center. Bill Sieb (aka Sund), the group’s national treasurer, leads the security team at one of the Solutions Company’s four “secure distribution locations.”
The Guardian newspaper has introduced some of these people in a detailed report. For example, Johnny “Taz” Mulford has been identified as one of the leaders of the Infidels’ American branch, now in a monitoring role within the Gaza mission. He has a tattoo of “1095” on his body; a number that refers to the year the First Crusade began and is considered a clear symbol of hostility to Islam in the literature of Christian extremist groups.
In addition to the ideological background of these individuals, the Guardian and the BBC have also pointed out the financial background of the project. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which manages the distribution of aid in Gaza, receives direct support from US government funds. This financial connection has compounded concerns because the US government is effectively accused of employing a group with an anti-Islamic record at the heart of one of the world’s most sensitive humanitarian crises, instead of using neutral forces specialized in humanitarian affairs.
Among the anti-Islamic views published by this group is a proclamation celebrating pork kebabs during Ramadan, which states: In opposition to the Islamic holiday of Ramadan… we invite you to join the Colorado Springs chapter of the Infidels Motorcycle Party and Pork Roast.
From a human rights perspective, this revelation becomes particularly important when considering the reports of the United Nations and international aid organizations. Recently, the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) announced that at least 1,373 Palestinians who went to collect food were martyred; of these, 859 were martyred near distribution centers and 514 were martyred along the route of food convoys of aid organizations from late May to the end of July.
This number of martyrs, rather than being related to chaos and disorder in the food lines, contrary to American and Zionist propaganda, was the result of direct attacks by the Israeli army on these long lines; attacks that were often accompanied by shelling and even targeting trucks carrying food, and the images of which were widely reflected in the global media. In other words, the food line in Gaza has not become a scene of internal conflict, but rather a systematic military targeting field for the Zionist regime.
In such circumstances, the presence of extremist and anti-Islamic forces, such as members of the Infidels group, around these centers further increases concerns. Because this action practically conveys a message of alignment with the policy of pressure and repression against the people of Gaza and raises the fundamental question of why the United States sent forces with extremist ideological backgrounds on such a mission instead of trying to truly protect civilians?
This question becomes more serious when we know that the Gaza Humanitarian Relief Foundation is funded directly from American financial resources, and therefore, Washington cannot shirk the political and moral responsibility for this choice.
Behind the scenes of the Infidels biker mission
The following will discuss the behind-the-scenes mission of this anti-Islam group and the four objectives of their deployment to the Gaza Strip:
- Sending a political message instead of providing security
The deployment of members of the Infidels motorcycle gang by the security company UG Solutions around the GHF food distribution centers is not simply an operational choice, but carries a symbolic burden; symbols of the “crusades,” including the 1095 tattoo and the anti-Islamic record of some individuals, transform “human neutrality” into a display of “political tyranny.”
- Field context: systematic targeting of food lines
To understand the message of this choice, one must look at the field. The killing of civilians in aid lines in Gaza is a recurring trend, according to human rights documents. Human Rights Watch has called these killings a “war crime” and called for an end to the dangerous, US-backed aid distribution schemes; UN experts have also condemned the “Flour Massacre” (February 29, 2024) and the pattern of attacks on aid centers/convoys (including the World Central Kitchen convoy). This image is not just a “line disruption”; it is a documented targeting pattern.
- Ideological Link: From the “Cross” to the Politics of “Social Control”
The presence of forces with obvious symbols of the Crusades in a crisis whose majority of victims are Muslims reinforces the message of ideological conflict. These signs, along with media narratives close to official institutions (which confirm and sometimes justify the principle of recruitment), create an image that casts a shadow over “population control” and “intimidation” instead of “human protection.” Some coverage has even pointed to larger recruitment numbers from this group, raising concerns about the nature of the operation.
- Strategic Context: Population Relocation and Future Management of Gaza
The political horizon behind this security arrangement must be seen in the documents and scenarios of the following day regarding Gaza. In the fall of 2023, a conceptual document at the level of the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence that proposed a scenario of transferring the population to the Sinai Desert was leaked and then dismissed; but its design and reflection itself indicated the presence of the relocation option in the official calculations. At the same time, there are numerous ongoing discussions about post-conflict management, from security control to governance models. In such a context, violent securitization around food lines can be seen as a tool of “control/pressure” for demographic change and the engineering of future order, a concern that has also been reflected in statements by human rights institutions and UN experts.
