Multiple members of an anti-Islamic biker gang have been guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza since early May 2025, according to an investigation done by the BBC.
Members of the Infidels Motorcycle Gang were employed by UG Solutions, an independent contractor hired by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to oversee security at aid distribution sites within the Gaza Strip.
The GHF is a United States and Israel-backed organization that facilitates the distribution of humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians. The BBC investigation found that 40 people employed by UG Solutions were recruited by Infidels MC.
'Infidel' is a term used to refer to “disbelievers” of Islam
The Infidels MC is a biker gang consisting mainly of United States military veterans. Members are notorious for hostility towards followers of Islam, displayed on public, personal social media sites.
According to the BBC investigation, some members of Infidels MC have tattoos of the numbers “1095.” Those numbers refer to the year in which the influential Catholic leader, Pope Urban II, referred to Muslims as a “vile race.”
Members of Muslim civil rights advocacy groups have raised concerns regarding the role of Infidels MC members in distributing aid to the majority-Muslim population of Gaza.
Deputy director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Edward Ahmed Mitchell, stated that "When you see anti-Muslim bigots today celebrating 1095, celebrating the Crusades, they are celebrating the massacre of Muslims.”
Josh Miller, leader of one UG Solutions security team, owns a company selling apparel featuring slogans such as “Embrace violence” and "Surf all day, rockets all night. Gaza summer '25."
Miller posted photos of his team in Gaza holding up “Make Gaza great again” banners featuring the logo of his clothing brand.
GHF has denied responsibility for the deployment of Infidels MC members, stating that they "do not screen for personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance or security standards.”
