    This is accounting of October 7th is something to get a cup and sit down and watch. Growing up in "The Troubles" era of Ireland one gets a pretty good sense of tall tales, things not passing the smell test. Over the years one finally hears the truth of something and you get wiser. At least you can tell believable lies from horseshit.

    This accounting seems as elegant and smells right, as we have ever got so far.

    Double Down News is a very activist UK left source but this is him talking about a documentary.

    Boston Consulting Group, Inc. (BCG) is an American global management consulting firm founded in 1963 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.[3] It is one of the "Big Three" (or MBB, the world's three largest management consulting firms by revenue) along with McKinsey & Company and Bain & Company. Since 2021, BCG has been led by the German executive Christoph Schweizer.[4][5][6]

    Involvement with Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and Subsequent Fallout

    Between October 2024 and May 2025 BCG helped design and run the business operations of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation[30][31], which in turn has been linked to US-based private security firms, and is being investigated over the identity of its donors.[32] In June 2025, BCG terminated its contract with the GHF. It had said that the work was done "pro bono" but The Washington Post reported that BCG submitted invoices of over $1 million per month.[33] BCG then fired two senior partners, calling the work they oversaw for GHF "unauthorized".[34]

    The two senior partners dismissed by BCG were Matt Schlueter and Ryan Ordway, both from the firm’s U.S. defense and security practice, who did not disclose the full nature of their engagement and oversaw the GHF work without authorization.[35]

    It was later revealed by the Financial Times that BCG's work was more extensive than previously disclosed, covering more than $4 million of contracted work. It also included modeling work on the postwar reconstruction of Gaza, including cost estimates for giving hundreds of thousands of Gazans 'relocation packages' worth $9,000 per person in exchange for them leaving the territory.[31]

    Save the Children suspended its partnership with BCG as a result of BCG's work with the GHF and for "modelling a plan to forcibly relocate Palestinians from Gaza".[36]

    Involvement in Gaza redevelopment proposal
    In 2024, Boston Consulting Group was reported to have contributed financial modelling to a postwar redevelopment proposal for the Gaza Strip. The plan, referred to as the Great Trust, was developed by a group of Israeli businessmen and shared with the Trump administration. It envisioned transforming Gaza into a trading and industrial hub, featuring projects such as a “Trump Riviera” and an “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone.”

    According to the Financial Times, the proposal included controversial measures such as offering financial incentives for up to 500,000 Palestinians to leave the territory.[37]

    London/New York | BCG’s chief executive said its involvement with a postwar plan for Gaza that envisioned relocating a quarter of the population had been “reputationally very damaging”, as the Save the Children charity halted a two-decade partnership with the firm.

    As he tried to limit the fallout, Christoph Schweizer said the “profoundly disappointing” episode was the result of “deliberate individual misconduct, and it was enabled by unwarranted process exceptions, missed warning signs and misplaced trust”. He promised a “firm-wide remediation effort” in a letter to alumni.

    The message came amid international criticism of the consulting firm and concern from clients.
    Save the Children’s chief executive Inger Ashing told the charity’s staff this week that it was “appalled and deeply disturbed” to learn BCG had modelled the costs of relocating Palestinians out of the Strip.

    Schweizer said: “This work was explicitly prohibited, and BCG disavows it.” The partner involved “ignored a direct instruction and proceeded anyway, coordinating a small, off-the-books team and executing the work outside BCG systems and approvals.

    “Even if this was not in any way, shape, or form a formal BCG project, our association with it is real, deeply troubling, and reputationally very damaging.“
    The two partners leading the project were fired in early June. The FT has revealed that their team helped model the costs of relocating Palestinians as part of a project to imagine a rebuilt postwar Gaza as a regional trading hub.
