A secretive organization known as Al-Majd Europe appears to have orchestrated a brazen operation, ferrying 153 Palestinians from war-torn Gaza to South Africa without proper documentation. The chartered plane, which sat idle on a runway for nearly 12 hours, raised eyebrows among local authorities who were caught off guard by the group's arrival.
The controversy surrounding Al-Majd Europe has been building for months, with activists accusing Israel of orchestrating an "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians from Gaza. According to those close to the matter, the organization charges exorbitant fees – reportedly ranging from $1,400 to $2,000 per person – to facilitate these alleged evacuations.
The operation in question appears to have been meticulously planned, with Palestinian families being informed just days before their departure that they could only bring a small bag and some cash. The group was then transferred to Israel's Ramon Airport, where they were processed without receiving stamps on their travel documents. It remains unclear whether Israeli authorities were directly involved in the operation.
As for Al-Majd Europe itself, its origins are shrouded in mystery. Founded in Germany in 2010, the organization claims to coordinate humanitarian efforts but appears to be little more than a front for Israel's alleged intentions. The website, which boasts an eerie pop-up warning about scammers posing as legitimate representatives, contains glaring inconsistencies and appears to have been registered relatively recently.
Critics claim that Al-Majd Europe has no clear office or contact information and uses dubious tactics, such as charging people via personal bank accounts rather than organizational ones. The organization's true purpose remains unclear, but its actions seem designed to further Israel's interests by relocating Palestinians from Gaza to foreign lands.
Palestinian officials have denounced the operation as "deceptive" and "exploitative," with some warning of networks aimed at removing Palestinians from their homes in line with Israeli interests. As for those who were affected by this scheme, they remain in South Africa, awaiting news about what lies ahead.

12 hours on the runway? Come on! You'd think they'd have a better plan than that. 
I'm so worried about these 153 Palestinians being smuggled into South Africa like that... it's just not right 
. I mean, what if something goes wrong over there? It's so sad to think about all these people being treated as pawns in some bigger game 
. And what's up with Al-Majd Europe's dodgy website and lack of clear info? 
It feels like they're trying to scam people left and right 
. We need more transparency and accountability here, especially when it comes to the welfare of vulnerable groups 
.
I mean, 153 people flying in without proper docs is crazy talk. And the fees they're charging are ridiculous! Who do these people think they are?
I don't trust anything that seems too good (or bad) to be true. And have you seen the website? It's like a scam alert waiting to happen! 
Shouldn't they be doing more to help?
It just feels like there's some major fishy business going on here...
I just can't wrap my head around people being forced to flee their homes like this. It's so sad that Al-Majd Europe gets away with this stuff because nobody knows anything about them anyway 
. We need some real answers here... who's behind this operation? Is it just Israel or is there more to it than meets the eye? 
gotta wonder how many more ops like this are goin on without anyone noticin
.
. I'm so done with the lack of transparency and accountability from organizations like Al-Majd Europe. We need to hold them accountable for their actions! 
it sounds like al-majd europe is just a fancy front for israel's agenda... i don't get why ppl are so quick to just let them do this without questioning it. didn't we learn from all the other times ppl were relocated or 'resettled' by governments? 
this whole thing stinks of an operation gone wrong and some people getting hurt for israel's gain... sad! 
this is so concerning 
i hope these ppl in south africa are safe and get the help they need 
.
. I'm so frustrated with Al-Majd Europe, it's like they're playing a game of human poker with people's lives. The fact that they can just charge whoever is willing to pay such huge fees and still manage to stay under the radar is insane 
.
. And those fees? Yeah, maybe they're steep, but sometimes you gotta pay for what you want, right? 
.
! How did it even get started & why is it operating like this? The lack of transparency is giving me major anxiety
