British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has turned to an American consulting group that worked with the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to help draft a plan that was supposed to “end neoliberalism” in the UK.

Boston Consulting Group (BCG), whose former employees include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Burnham’s chief of staff, James Purnell, has been hired to help shape the prime minister’s 10-year plan.

One of the “big three” management consultancy firms, BCG has been accused of aiding Israeli starvation tactics that amount to war crimes and genocide, and of being implicated in the killing of thousands of Palestinians.

The Boston-based consultancy helped establish the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and supported a related security company before distancing itself from the project.

The aid distribution organisation caused the death of over 2,600 Palestinians in Gaza and the injury of many thousands more. GHF ran four aid distribution sites in Gaza where Palestinians seeking aid were deliberately shot by Israeli soldiers or US security contractors hired by the organisation.
