Prevent Cancer & Boost Health: The Most Alkalizing Superfood You NEED to Eat Every Day
Did you know cancer cells can’t survive in an alkaline environment? The key to preventing not only cancer but also a whole host of health problems lies in the state of your body’s pH. And there’s one superfood that stands above the rest for boosting alkalinity—wheatgrass.

Wheatgrass is more than just a trendy ingredient in green juices. It’s packed with nutrients that could transform your health from the inside out. Imagine improving your body’s pH, detoxifying your liver, and supercharging your immune system—all by adding this simple ingredient to your daily routine. Keep reading to discover why you need to make wheatgrass a staple in your diet and an easy recipe to start reaping its benefits today.

What is Wheatgrass?

Wheatgrass, the young green shoots of the wheat plant (Triticum aestivum), is a highly nutritious superfood. Commonly grown in the U.S. and Europe, wheatgrass is simple and affordable to grow at home. Just a week after sprouting the seeds, you can start harvesting this health-boosting plant. Its taste can be quite bitter, but it is at its sweetest when harvested in low light, just after the sprouting stage.

When growing wheatgrass, make sure it’s in a well-ventilated space to prevent mold, which can grow when roots are bound too tightly in moist soil. Mold can lead to health concerns, so try to plant the seeds with some space in between, avoid over-watering, and keep the area airy.

Nutritional Benefits of Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, some of which act as powerful antioxidants. These include:

Vitamins A and E
A full spectrum of B vitamins
Iron
Zinc
Selenium
Magnesium
Calcium
Potassium
Sodium
It’s also a complete protein source. In fact, just 2 ounces of wheatgrass juice contains the nutritional equivalent of 5 pounds of organic, raw vegetables. This means consuming wheatgrass regularly can provide your body with an abundance of essential nutrients and antioxidants.

Why Wheatgrass is a Superfood

Cleanses and Detoxifies: Wheatgrass helps detoxify the liver and bloodstream, ridding your body of toxins and environmental pollutants.
Fights Cancer: Wheatgrass contains cancer-fighting enzymes, like Superoxide Dismutase, which help neutralize free radicals and prevent cell damage. While we are on this topic, did you know that dandelion root extract was found to kill leukemia cells, prostate cancer cells and chemo-resistant melanoma? Read more about it here.
Rich in Chlorophyll: The high chlorophyll content in wheatgrass helps heal and oxygenate your body. It boosts the oxygen supply to your blood, promoting improved brain function and overall health.
Balances pH Levels: Maintaining a balanced pH level in your body is crucial for optimal health. Wheatgrass helps neutralize acidity, making your body more alkaline, which is essential for preventing illness.
Repairs DNA: Wheatgrass contains enzymes like P4-D1 and D1-G1, which help repair damaged DNA, especially from radiation exposure.
Why Alkalinity is Important

For your body to function properly, your blood pH needs to stay between 7.35 and 7.45. Many of the foods we eat can create an acidic environment in the body, making it harder for your body to maintain that balance. Wheatgrass is one of the most effective natural foods for keeping your body alkaline, helping to counteract this acidity and keep you healthier.

How to Incorporate Wheatgrass into Your Diet

One of the easiest ways to get the benefits of wheatgrass is by juicing it. Juicing pre-digests the nutrients for you, making them easier for your body to absorb. If you’re not a fan of the bitter taste of wheatgrass, try mixing it into smoothies to improve the flavor.

Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

Pineapple and Coconut Green Smoothie with Wheatgrass

Ingredients:

4 oz fresh wheatgrass juice
2 cups of cubed pineapple
4 oz coconut water
2 small peeled bananas
1 cup baby spinach
Instructions:

Pour the fresh wheatgrass juice and coconut water into a blender.
Add the pineapple, bananas, and spinach.
Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth.
For the best results, consume the wheatgrass juice fresh—within 15 minutes of juicing—to maximize its nutritional benefits.

Wheatgrass is one of the most alkalizing and nutrient-dense foods you can incorporate into your daily routine. Whether you juice it, blend it, or add it to smoothies, it’s an excellent way to detoxify, promote alkalinity, and provide your body with a wide range of essential nutrients. With its high antioxidant content and numerous health benefits, adding wheatgrass to your diet can be a powerful step toward improving your overall health.

ALERT! U.S. Aircraft Carriers Line Up in Global Battle Formation – The Entire U.S. Fleet Is Ready for Combat

BREAKING: U.S. aircraft carriers are now in an unprecedented global formation from the Pacific to the Mediterranean. This isn’t a drill—the world is on the brink. The U.S. Navy’s deployment sends a crystal-clear message. Are we staring down the barrel of World War III?

In an extraordinary move, the U.S. Navy has formed a battle line stretching from the U.S. West Coast all the way to the Pacific. This is not a routine maneuver—this is a battle-ready formation, a harbinger of something far more dangerous. The global stage is set for a showdown.

The Entire U.S. Fleet Is Ready for Combat Imagine this: all U.S. aircraft carriers—those massive juggernauts of war—lined up across the world’s most critical regions. This isn’t for show. This isn’t a precaution. This is a move designed for combat. Each of these carriers is armed with devastating firepower, fighter jets, and advanced weaponry—ready to strike at a moment’s notice.

When America sends its entire fleet into the world’s most volatile hotspots, it’s not a signal to stand down—it’s a sign that conflict is imminent. From the Pacific to the Middle East and Mediterranean, these carriers are stationed at key flashpoints, locked and loaded.

Battle Formation: The World on the Edge of Conflict You don’t line up your entire fleet unless you’re preparing for something BIG. In the Mediterranean, with NATO tightening its grip and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, U.S. carriers mean one thing: they’re preparing for the worst. In the Middle East, with tensions at a boiling point, it’s clear the U.S. is gearing up for an all-out clash. And in the Pacific, with China’s eyes on Taiwan, the U.S. is ready to strike hard.

This Is Not a Drill – This Is a Warning to the World This isn’t just a move of strategy—it’s an open threat. If anyone challenges the United States now, retaliation will be swift and merciless. Aircraft carriers are the tip of the spear, and they’re positioned to unleash unimaginable firepower. Tick, tock—the clock is running out. This isn’t some political game. This is war.

WW3INFO: Is the Countdown to World War III Beginning? The entire world is asking: Is this the beginning of World War III? With U.S. carriers in place, the world is closer to the brink than it has ever been. Taiwan, the Middle East, Eastern Europe—any of these flashpoints could ignite the entire globe. The U.S. is ready. The consequences will be devastating.

Military analysts are scrambling, and the panic is real. This kind of alignment hasn’t been seen since the Cold War. The fact that it’s happening now, in the midst of the most intense global tensions of our lifetime, should send chills down your spine.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher With U.S. carriers now covering the world’s most dangerous zones, nations everywhere are holding their breath. The potential for total war is staring us in the face. The destruction, the suffering, the collapse of the world as we know it—it’s all on the table.

This Is It – Time Is Running Out The world is watching, and the U.S. fleet is ready. With aircraft carriers positioned across the globe, the balance of power could shift at any moment. This could be the spark that ignites the most devastating conflict in modern history.

Are we witnessing the start of World War III? Time will tell, but one thing is certain—the world has never been closer to the brink of chaos. Prepare. Stay alert. The storm is here.

Yes, the CIA Killed President John F. Kennedy. Your Government is a Lie: JFK Was Killed by the CIA, With Help From the Pentagon, and State Department

JFK, a beacon of hope, was struck down in the prime of his life, leaving a nation reeling in shock. Conspiracy theories about his assassination have swirled for decades, suggesting a chilling possibility – that the CIA, in collaboration with the Pentagon and the State Department, orchestrated his murder.

Prepare to challenge everything you believe about the government and the events of November 22, 1963. On that fateful day in Dallas, Texas, the official story claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, but for over six decades, countless theories insist on a more sinister plot. JFK was seen as a renegade, refusing to escalate the Vietnam War and threatening the CIA’s very existence.

The narrative surrounding the assassination implicates Lyndon Johnson, who had both the motive and power to orchestrate a seamless operation. With the backing of the Military-Industrial Complex and the southern political machine, he ensured a public execution right in his backyard.

Classic CIA EXECUTION plans are at play. The assassination was carried out in a highly compartmentalized operation, with key players inserted on a strict need-to-know basis. Elements within the CIA, Secret Service, FBI, and Dallas Police had to be complicit in both the assassination and its coverup.

LBJ's motives are clear: he wanted to eliminate a rival and protect his own political future. The list of potential conspirators against JFK is extensive, including the CIA, FBI, organized crime, and even foreign powers. These were formidable foes of the Kennedy clan, all wanting JFK out of the way to maintain their grip on power.

The truth is beginning to emerge. Justice will eventually prevail, as more information about the coup d'état comes to light. The federal government has long been viewed with deep distrust, and now is the time for it to come clean about its darkest secrets.

In conclusion, Lee Harvey Oswald had nothing to do with JFK’s assassination. He was framed by the CIA, a loyal American trying to alert the President of danger. The truth has been buried, but as we confront our history, we must be prepared to face uncomfortable revelations.

Let this be a call to action: demand the truth, expose the dark underbelly of our government, and fight for our freedom and democracy! Are you ready to confront the truth?

Israel’s Barbarianism
How can Israel get away with it?

The Secret Of The Indomitable Strength Of Israel’s Barbarianism Upon Palestinians And the World’s Impotency

by Mr. Nobody Zahir Ebrahim

How Can Israel Get Away With It?

If the world public really wants to understand the secret of the indomitable strength of Israeli barbarism upon unarmed Palestinian civilian men women and children with such impunity before the impotent world, fully aided and abetted by Western governments, with full propaganda covered by the Western news media, they have to understand the power of the name Rothschild and its ability to hide in plain sight because it owns all governments and all news media…

Statement on Israel-Palestine

United States of America, Monday, November 6, 2023

If the world public really wants to understand the secret of the indomitable strength of Israeli barbarism upon unarmed Palestinian civilian men women and children with such impunity before the impotent world; carried out with direct American and Western European governments’ aiding and abetting; executed by the indoctrinated foot soldiers of Zionism to save the Jews from the Amalekites, no differently from the indoctrinated foot soldiers of the Third Reich who carried out unspeakable horrors upon civilian populations under the blaring national trumpet of Lebensraum, and also not any differently from the unspeakable horrors inflicted upon civilian populations by the American and British Allied bombers from Dresden to Tokyo, not to forget Hiroshima and Nagasaki under their own blaring national trumpets; while the international banksters and Wall Street profited from enabling both sides in the merciless killings not just of the foot soldiers of nationalism and patriotism, but the millions of unarmed civilian populations treated as dispensable cattle, burnt and obliterated alive in an unparalleled real Shoah for which the heavens too must shed tears in shame at its own criminal culpability for exiling such an inhuman monstrous species to earth and calling this ugly creature “al insaan”, human being; the world public must first get acquainted with the god-like power of the name Rothschild. And its ability to hide in plain sight because it owns all Western governments, all politicians, and all news media.

Even today very few Westerners have actually ever seen the Balfour Declaration, let alone know that it is addressed to Lord Rothschild. Forget about ever understanding its short treacherous proclamation by the British Empire to the Jews. If they did, they’d at least wonder WHY; ask WHY? Ask who is this Rothschild character. Does it still exist? Why has no one from a high school student of world history to a university student of any discipline ever actually read the short sentence-long Balfour Declaration?


The Balfour Declaratiion
Very few people in the world have also ever seen this map of Eretz Yisrael…. for then they’d stop listening to their criminal news media and criminal politicians in suits waving Israeli propaganda of anti-Semitism and self-defense against the Amalekites in the world’s silly ignorant face with such arrogance.

Also, let’s stop fictitiously separating Jews from Zionists, and The Jewish State from The Zionist State for cowardly political correctness.

And just because there are some handful of vocal outstanding moral Jews among the 20 million or so total number of Jewry in the world — from few hundred to few thousand, less than one percent, for even if their conscience was at least 1 percent strong, that would have seen 2 million Jews protesting worldwide against Israeli barbarism — who don’t treat goy as inferior to them, and value their life as much, and at times even more than their own; including the handful of secular Jews such as the Jewish Voices for Peace, and the tiny Neturei Karta Anti-Zionist Jewish orthodox sect, who rise-up in protest marches, and even a tinier handful in Jewish organizations like International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who actively stand up in the Holy Land of Jewish oppression to defend the Palestinians and take IDF sniper bullets to their head like the young 22 years old British activist and photo journalist Tom Hurndall , or mercilessly and deliberately butchered under IDF Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozers like the courageous young 23 years old American activist Rachel Corrie… all shouting Not In Our Name in virtually every Western country, including in Israel itself; and I of course salute these handful of real human being Jews as the real “Yahweh’s Chosen People” for they are better than us comatose 1.6 billion cowardly Muslims who all seem to be WAITING FOR ALLAH… ; let’s not forget that All Zionists in Israel are JEWS… and they claim so themselves, and most Jewry outside Israel, all mostly in important economic positions (none flip burgers in McDonald’s) support The Jewish State.

Let’s just have at least this little self-respect and moral decency left among the spectating world to call a spade a spade!

To really figure out why Israel can get away with its barbarism … and why wars are necessary … as David-Ben Gurion had famously explained the utility of revolutionary times to remake world order :

“What is inconceivable in normal times is possible in revolutionary times, and if at this time the opportunity is missed and what is possible at such great hours is not carried out – a whole world is lost.”,

Slaughter in Gaza and Lebanon as War with Iran Approaches. “These psychos must be stopped”. Caitlin Johnstone

Israel appears to have begun its long-planned ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza, with the IDF dropping bombs, issuing evacuation orders for multiple hospitals, attacking civilians with sniper drones, and besieging civilian populations in order to force tens of thousands of people to either move south or die. Israel has reportedly been dropping leaflets on the Jabalia refugee camp ordering people to leave, and then shooting anyone who tries to.

Since the 7th of October last year, Israel has committed roughly 100 October sevenths in Gaza; scores of American medical workers who volunteered in the enclave signed an open letter to president Biden estimating the real death toll from Israel’s onslaught at over 118,000. Israel has also committed about two October sevenths in Lebanon during that time, with the majority of the 2,100 Israeli killings in that country coming just in the last few weeks.

As Israeli murderousness ramps up in both Gaza and Lebanon, Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a statement addressed to the Lebanese people telling them that they need to somehow defeat Hezbollah in order to “save Lebanon before it plunges into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.”


Israeli officials have been saying they’re going to destroy Lebanon like they destroyed Gaza for months. Back in December Israel’s defense minister Yoav Gallant said, “Every person in Lebanon can take the map, the aerial photograph of Gaza, place it on an aerial photograph of Beirut, and ask themselves if this is what they want to happen there.” Now Netanyahu himself is saying this.

Notably, Netanyahu’s statement was delivered in English, with English subtitles. This wasn’t actually a plea made to the people of Lebanon, it was propaganda made for western consumption. Netanyahu does not actually believe the Lebanese people are going to take up arms against Hezbollah to stop their country from being destroyed, he’s just creating a narrative to justify what he already plans on doing to Lebanon.

And the US is encouraging Israel to move forward. On Tuesday State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller told the press that the Biden administration no longer supports a ceasefire with Hezbollah, saying “We support Israel’s efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s capability” instead. Two weeks ago CNN reported that the administration has also essentially given up on a ceasefire in Gaza.


And we haven’t even talked about Iran yet. NBC News reports that US military officials have been discussing directly joining in Israel’s planned attack on Iran, potentially launching their own airstrikes on the Iranian military whenever Israel begins its attack.

Whether the US joins with Israel in its coming attack or not, Iran has already made it clear that it will retaliate against any further aggressions by Israel, and Israel has made it clear that if Iran strikes back it’s going to ramp up its aggressions and perhaps start attacking Iranian energy infrastructure. If this blows up into full-scale war, as looks increasingly likely, it’s inevitable that the US will come to Israel’s defense.

Axios and its Israeli intelligence insider Barak Ravid have a new report out on how super duper frustrated the Biden administration is becoming with Israeli warmongering. In typical Axios fashion the outlet reports that the White House is becoming “increasingly distrustful” of Israel’s planned military operations against Iran and Lebanon, but that, in typical Biden administration fashion, its American sources admit that the US “would very likely help Israel defend itself regardless” of whatever happens.


Whoever wins the US election in November appears to be committed to riding with Israel down this path into the depths of hell.

In an interview with 60 Minutes, Vice President Kamala Harris defended the Biden administration’s genocidal support for Israel, saying the weapons it has been giving them “allow Israel to defend itself.” She also named Iran as the number one enemy of the United States.

In an appearance on The View, Harris was asked what she would have done differently from President Biden, and she said “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” Then later she added, “You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me, that will be one of the differences: I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet.”

And lest you make the mistake of thinking Trump would be any better, last week the former president said that Israel should attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, and criticized the Biden administration for not being sufficiently aggressive on this front.


“They asked [Biden], what do you think about Iran, would you hit Iran?” Trump said at a campaign event on Friday. “And he goes, ‘As long as they don’t hit the nuclear stuff.’ That’s the thing you want to hit, right? I said I think he’s got that one wrong.”

Anyone who still says Trump is a peacemaker is a damn fool. Statements like this are in full alignment with the absolute worst warmongers in Washington like John Bolton or Lindsey Graham.

Anyway, that’s where we’re at right now. That’s the trajectory the US empire has us on. An active genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the threat of another extermination campaign in Lebanon, and acceleration toward a direct war of unimaginable horror with Iran.

These psychos must be stopped.

Israel’s Air Defense and the Weakness of the U.S. Navy. “Damage Control Project” of Commander of the U.S. Naval Forces

These lines were written on CNN, the voice of the Democratic Party close to the US neocons, at a time when US President Biden announced that he had not yet received a guarantee that Israel would not target nuclear facilities in a possible counter-attack on Iran. This is clearly an expression of the US being held hostage by Netanyahu.

In this case, we can say that the world is under Israel’s mortgage until the US presidential elections on November 5, 2024. If Iran’s nuclear facilities are hit, it goes without saying that this crisis will grow very large and humanity will face multi-dimensional crises. It is possible to say that this situation will bring about the collapse of the US faster than the collapse of the Roman Empire.

Iran’s Attack on Selected Targets on October 1

After Iran’s attack on Israel with around 300 missiles and drones on April 14, 2024, the second attack with 180 ballistic missiles on October 1, 2024 revealed the serious vulnerabilities of Israel’s air defense system again. The strategic Nevatim and Hatzerim air bases were hit in this attack. Today, Israel has a progressive air defense system supported by the US. The Iron Dome Low Altitude Air Defense System; the David’s Sling Medium/High-Altitude Ballistic Missile Defense System and the Arrow 2/3 High Altitude Ballistic Missile Defense System operate in conjunction with the central command and control system (IMDO). This system is also supported by the American Patriot and THAAD systems and the high precision and range X-band radars located in the Necef Desert, Keren and Kürecik Malatya.

.

US Navy and Israeli Air Defense

The Pentagon announced that 81 UAVs and 6 ballistic missiles were shot down by American air defense efforts in the April 14 attack. Following the October 1 attack, the Pentagon announced that a dozen of the 180 missiles were shot down by two of the three American destroyers in the Mediterranean (USS Bulkeley and USS Cole).

Four of these ships, which have the Arleigh Burke class SM 3 high altitude ballistic missile defense system, are permanently stationed at the US naval base in Cadiz/Rota, Spain. These ships are dynamically assigned and deployed to the crisis region when the ballistic missile threat to US allies and friends increases. When necessary, the ships in question, which serve in the Eastern Mediterranean, receive detection and tracking information for exo-atmospheric prevention from the American X-Band radars located in Malatya/Kürecik and Keren in the Necef Desert. One of the main information inputs and cross-tell stations of the Aegis command and control system of the ships in question, which are connected to the NATO Ballistic Missile Defense System, in Europe and the Mediterranean basin is the “Kürecik Radar” in Malatya. This radar was brought to our country through the NATO Agreement. However, it is completely American property and Turkiye has no discretion regarding its operation. They work online with the American Aegis destroyers serving in the Eastern Mediterranean. With this information, it is possible to shoot down Iranian missiles aimed at Israel at an early stage. Therefore, on the one hand, saying that “Israel’s target is Turkey” and on the other hand, transmitting information to American warships protecting Israel via the Americans’ X Band radar in Kürecik is a very contradictory, even oxymoronic situation.

Decrease in American Naval Support to Israel

In the October 1 attack, we see that the US provided support to Israel with roughly 50% fewer ships compared to the April 14 attack. Most importantly, there was no American aircraft carrier strike group in the Mediterranean when the October 1 attacks took place. The USS Truman aircraft carrier strike group only entered the Mediterranean from Gibraltar on the morning of October 3, 2024. This group also includes an Aegis-class cruiser and 2 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that can support Israeli air defense. On the other hand, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group, which was supposed to be in the Pacific theater of operations and was dispatched to the region for Israel, was in the Arabian Sea during the October 1 attack. Keeping this group at the entrance to the Persian Gulf for the purpose of deterring Iran rather than preventing air attacks against Israel is a preference of American decision-makers. However, what is striking is the small number of American ships sent to support the defense of Israel. It was expected that Iran would attack Israel after the assassination of Hamas leader Haniyeh. The assassination of Lebanese Shiite leader Nasrallah last week increased this possibility. However, there has been no change in the number of American warships. The arrival of the USS Truman aircraft carrier coup group in the Eastern Mediterranean will only occur as these lines are being read on 6th October, five days after the October 1 attacks.

Let us remind that the record number of ships in terms of military support and assistance to Israel was set in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The US had a presence in the Eastern Mediterranean with 60 ships during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.

American Sea Power Is in Weakness

The fact that the US had only three Aegis class (Arleigh Burke) destroyers with air defense capability in the Eastern Mediterranean during the October 1 Iranian attack is not a strategic choice but rather a weakness in its navy. As of September 30, the day before the October 1 attack, the US Navy’s combat force was 297 ships, (237 combat ships and 60 auxiliary ships). Of these ships, 76 combat ships and 30 auxiliary ships (106 ships in total) were deployed. However, 71 of these 106 ships were underway. US sources do not specify how many of these ships were combatants and how many were auxiliary ships. If we assume, as a rough estimate, that 55 ships were combat ships and 16 were auxiliary ships, we understand why there were only 3 Aegis-class destroyers in the Mediterranean when the October 1 attack took place. The fact that 106 ships out of a total of 295 were deployed is an indication of how low the ships’ combat readiness was. In addition to the fact that it will take years to raise the combat readiness of the remaining ships, let us remember that the warships held in the American reserve fleets to be used in mobilization are on average over 40 years old and in poor condition.

Damage Control Project of the Commander of the United States Naval Forces

undefined

At the end of her one-year term as force commander, US Navy Commander Admiral Lisa Franchetti prepared a road map (navigation plan) titled NAVPLAN 24 in September 2024. This report summarizes the difficult period that the US naval force is in, by its highest-level executive. Franchetti, the 33rd Chief of Naval Forces (CNO), has the following action plan in his sailing plan, which he calls Project 33:

“We cannot create a larger conventional navy in a few years, or focus solely on numbers without the right capabilities to win the struggle for sea control… But even without these resources, we will develop our war readiness, capabilities and capacity. We must understand that the navy faces serious financial and industrial constraints.”

The most important emphasis in the report is that they are preparing to fight China in 2027. This issue is included in the Sailing Plan as follows:

“The President of the People’s Republic of China has ordered his forces to be ready for war by 2027. We will be more ready.’’

Franchetti, who said that they would be more ready with an extremely childish expression, later added:

‘’The defense industry of the People’s Republic of China is currently in a war footing with the largest shipbuilding infrastructure in the world, which is currently under the command of the navy.’’

However, the fact that the US Naval Forces Commander focused on President Xi Jinping’s discourse in such an important document is a serious example of weakness. A naval power that claims to dominate the oceans and seas since 1945 accepts its rival taking the initiative to choose the time of war.

Then let’s ask, for example, what will happen if the US-Iran war starts and China decides to go to war before 2027?

The Problem of Increasing the Level of War Readiness

Another striking issue in the document is that the target is to increase the current force to 80% combat readiness. This means if 106 of the 297 ships currently available are deployed, the combat readiness level is around 35%. If we accept that some of the ships in the port at their home bases will be made ready for combat in a short time, we can accept that the readiness level will be around 50% with the highest optimism. Admiral Franchetti aims to increase this level to 80% in the next three years. We are really faced with a picture that is very contrary to the history of the US Navy. As it is understood from both the document and Franchetti’s statements, the real problem is the maintenance and repair problem of the ships. Warships at the end of deployments and tasking cycle they go through maintenance/ overhaul period and upon completion the combat training cycle starts before the ship totally becomes combat ready. This process, which would take 12-15 months if everything worked normally, no longer works in the US. According to Franchetti’s statement in the navigation plan, the maintenance of surface fleets (cruisers, destroyers, amphibious ships and corvettes) is currently about 2,700 days behind, or almost seven years. This is an incredible delay.

The Role Model of the US Navy: Ukraine and the Houthis

The document very interestingly refers to the asymmetric naval successes of the fleetless Ukraine and the bare foot Houthi fighters in the Black and Red Seas, implying that the weakness of the navy will be offset by unmanned vehicles and robotic systems.

In order to prepare for a conflict with China in the Pacific in 2027, the report emphasizes a new class of unmanned systems to create low-cost, lethal air and surface systems that would disrupt an invasion beyond Taiwan. However, he does not mention that the US is an ocean state and that they will need large-tonnage platforms that can navigate the ocean to move from the CONUS to areas of interest. For example, the foundation of American naval power depends on bases and the support of these bases in wartime. Only in this way can warships in distant areas receive fuel, ammunition and personnel support. This support also needs to be created in the homeland.

However, how that logistical support will be provided from the homeland to these bases? The American merchant fleet is insufficient. They have only 200 ships flying their own flag. The US auxiliary ship fleet, MSC (Military Sealift Command), also has very limited resources. They have 19 offshore logistics support and fuel supply tankers; 14 ammunition transporters; 15 military supply transporters; 21 pre-positioned stockpiling supply ships in overseas bases and around 60 foreign-flagged leased ships. Last month, 17 of these were put into reserve status due to lack of personnel. Half of the rest are not ready for action anyway. This fleet is not even sufficient for their own needs, let alone their allies.

It is clear that these numbers will be extremely insufficient in a two-front war with China and Russia on the Atlantic/European and Asia/Pacific fronts. The combat vehicles of just one mechanized division weigh over 100 thousand tons. According to NATO’s cold war plans, the amount of cargo that needed to be reinforced from the US for supplementary supplies in the first months of a war in Europe was around 25 million tons. The military operation requirement was 100 million barrels of petroleum products.

Now let’s add the Pacific theater of operations to this picture, where the distances are much longer. We are faced with a terribly difficult picture. Because the most important US allies in the Pacific, such as Japan, Australia and South Korea, do not have oil. At least they are dependent on the US for fuel.

Let’s add the war that will continue with Russia in Europe to this situation. I am not even mentioning the sea lift that will last for months in the Pacific and the Atlantic, and therefore the need to protect these convoys against a three-dimensional threat. Except for 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, every ship needs to refuel at sea several times during ocean crossings. However, they do not have enough ships. MSC ships also do not have surface or air defense systems to defend themselves. Under these conditions, it is not clear how the Pacific front will be supported if war breaks out with China tomorrow.

American Sea Power Is Chronically Insufficient

In June 2023, the American Congress approved the naval target of 381 ships. In addition, it is aimed to have 397 ships by 2053. However, today, in order to complete the 381 ship target by 2030, a 20% budget increase is needed, which is not possible under today’s debt stock burden.

Today, the backbone of American naval power is nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN), other than nuclear aircraft carriers and ballistic missile submarines (SSBN).

However, today, nearly 40% of submarines are under repair and the delays in repair are enormous. If aircraft carriers operate in waters close to the continent – ​​for example, in the South or East China Sea – they are likely to be hit by hypersonic and ballistic missiles. In short, the US is unprepared for a major power conflict which is developing.

If a conflict with China were to break out tomorrow, the American Navy would have very little chance of winning because it is not ready. The logistical difficulties of building and sustaining American naval power in the short and medium terms are incredible. If the problem of replenishing existing weapons and ammunition stocks is added to this, the seriousness of the situation becomes apparent.

According to former American Undersecretary of the Navy Seth Cropsey, if the US does not increase the production of the weapons it will need in the Indo-Pacific, especially hypersonic cruise and ballistic missiles and short-range anti-ship weapons, it will lose a war for Taiwan in weeks. In its current state, the US Navy cannot maintain its bases and allies in the Indo-Pacific Oceans and its transoceanic logistical support line.

The parameters of the US-USA balance in the Cold War and today’s US-China balance are extremely different. The USSR could not defeat the US because the American Navy’s enormous size of 600 ships confined the Soviets to the continent and weakened them. China, on the other hand, is far more advanced at sea than the US naval power today. China has the advantage in terms of both its geographical location, naval power and number of anti-ship missiles. The conditions are more in its favor than ever to bring this to a dynamic conclusion. The US is weakening its power in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf because of Israel. China, on the other hand, will use every opportunity to protect and develop its own geopolitical interests, especially in Taiwan and the South China Sea, as long as the Israel-Iran crisis continues.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that Israeli forces killed at least 56 Palestinians and wounded another 278 in the previous 24-hour period as Israel continues to launch strikes across the Strip.

The Lebanese Health Ministry said in a statement that during the past 24 hours 36 people were killed and 150 others injured.

In Syria, at least seven people, including women and children, have been killed by an Israeli strike on a residential building in Damascus.

Israel has dropped more than 85,000 tonnes (94,000 tons) of explosives on Gaza; about 17 percent of these ordnances remain unexploded,” according to Gaza’s civil defense.

‘Humanitarian situation in northern Gaza becoming more dangerous’

Al Jazeera reports:

The Palestinian Civil Defense said the humanitarian situation in northern Gaza is becoming more dangerous following a large-scale Israeli military attack on Beit Hanoon, Beit Lahiya and Jabalia that has been ongoing for four days.

“Israeli forces have imposed a tight siege on these areas and are preventing the entry of water, food and medical supplies. The occupation has committed massacres against civilians, killing dozens and injuring hundreds. People’s bodies are strewn in the streets and it is difficult to reach them because soldiers are targeting ambulance and civil defense crews,” it said in a statement.

The Palestinian Civil Defense added that the Israeli military is forcing the more than 200,000 citizens in these areas to evacuate their homes and medical staff and patients to leave hospitals in the northern Gaza.

Palestinians in the north say the Israeli forces are wiping everything out: agricultural land, houses, water plants. Any source of life is being wiped from the Israeli forces.

Israel orders 3 hospitals to be evacuated in northern Gaza: Health Ministry

Anadolu Agency reports:

The Israeli army ordered the evacuation of patients and staff at three hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Health Ministry said Tuesday.

Israel “demands the evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital, the Indonesian Hospital, and Al-Awda Hospital from patients and health personnel,” it said in a statement.

Israeli troops arrested “a paramedic who accompanied a critical care patient during their transfer from Kamal Adwan Hospital despite prior coordination,” according to the statement, that noted the army is besieging the Kamal Adwan Hospital and firing at its administrative headquarters.

The army threatened the hospitals with “destruction, killing, and arrest” if they did not evacuate.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli forces threatened Kamal Adwan Hospital staff and opened fire at the administration office.

The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital stated,

It is evident that there is a new plan to displace our people in northern Gaza by dismantling the healthcare system across all its sectors in this region. We urge the world to intervene to stop this terrifying decision, which does not serve the people of northern Gaza.

We have informed everyone that the northern region is densely populated with a significant number of residents. We have the right to continue providing services to these people.

We will remain steadfast, we will stay and we will continue to offer medical services no matter the cost.

On Monday, the Jerusalem Post reported that the IDF has was providing “expanded” services in northern Gaza, including field hospitals, tent compounds, and supplies of food, water, and medicine.

Local Palestinians in Jabaliya report that there is nowhere to receive healthcare, nowhere to live, as buildings have been turned to rubble, As has been reported for 12 months, Israel has destroyed hospitals, schools and residential areas.

Tuesday’s evacuation orders are a continuation of this policy. The Jerusalem Post report appears to be fictional.

NOTE: Israel’s attacks are wreaking havoc on healthcare in Lebanon too.

Gaza faces one of largest cases of ecocide in recent history, including contamination from “depleted uranium bombs”

Various agencies report:

Israel’s attacks in Gaza, in addition to causing massive loss of life and shelter, have brought about ecocide – “the destruction and devastation of the environment at any cost.”

Ecocide is recognized as a crime under the category of war crimes in the Rome Statute.

In the first four months of the attacks, Israel dropped 70,000 tons of bombs on the region.

Various analyses have concluded that bombings, damage caused by heavy vehicles, airstrikes, and other elements of conflict have severely impacted agricultural areas.

Approximately 75% of the agricultural land in northern Gaza has suffered damage.

According to the Environmental Quality Authority affiliated with the Palestinian Authority, Israeli attacks are putting Gaza’s biodiversity at risk, including between 150 and 200 bird species, around 20 mammal species, and 20 rare and endangered reptile species.

Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh, head of the Biodiversity and Sustainability Center at Bethlehem University, told Anadolu that some of the environmental damage in the region is now irreversible.

He noted that the water aquifers in the region have suffered significant damage and may not recover; if they do, it could take decades.

The president of the Lebanese Association of Social Medicine, Raif Reda, said Israel has been using banned bombs with uranium warheads in south Beirut. and called for an international investigation.

Warheads made with depleted uranium casings are designed to penetrate deep fortifications, causing significant destruction and releasing toxic gases. They are also radioactive and have been linked to massive increases in cancer rates in Iraq following the US wars on that country in 1991 and 2003.

Israeli air forces may have used depleted uranium bombs on at least four residential buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs on September 27 to kill Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The Israeli air force has already been known to use these bombs in Gaza. A UN Human Rights report documented airstrikes by the Israeli air force carried out on residential buildings, a school, refugee camps, and a market between October 9 and December 2, 2023.

Depleted uranium munitions pose a risk to civilians years after a site is bombed because they release radioactive particles upon impact and contaminate the soil and surrounding environment.

Radioactive dust emitted by depleted uranium munitions has been linked to rises in cancer and congenital defects in babies following the US bombing of Iraq.

‘Undeniable’ – Probe Confirms Israeli Army Presence when Hind Rajab was Killed in Gaza

Sky News reports:

Even though the Israeli military denies being in the area on the day that six-year-old Hind Rajab and six members of her family were killed in Gaza, a Sky News investigation has found that the army’s presence in the area was “undeniable.” Two paramedics who were trying to rescue her were also killed.

The channel analyzed satellite imagery, Israeli military press materials, and interviewed weapons and forensics experts.

Hezbollah says Israel using UN troops as ‘human shields’ in south Lebanon, as Israel expands ground operation

Various agencies report:

Hezbollah has ordered its fighters not to attack Israeli forces who established a forward operating base behind UN peacekeeping troops (UNIFIL) near a Lebanese border village: “the Israeli enemy is attempting to use UNIFIL forces as human shields,” a statement issued by the Islamic resistance movement on 7 October said.

“The operations room of the Islamic Resistance instructed the fighters to hold back and not engage with the movement to protect the lives of international soldiers,” the statement added, just a day after UNIFIL warned Israel’s operations near their position at Maroun al-Ras were an “extremely dangerous development.”

“It is unacceptable to compromise the safety of UN peacekeepers carrying out their Security Council-mandated tasks,” UNIFIL stated while reminding all actors in the conflict of their obligations to protect UN personnel and property.

NOTE: Israel has blatantly used Palestinians as human shields on many occasions (see this, this, this, this, this for example.)

RECOMMENDED READING: Every accusation a confession: Israel and the double lie of ‘human shields’

Israel has said it is expanding its ground operation in Lebanon with the deployment of a fourth division after another night of intense airstrikes across the south and east of the country.

Launching what it has called Operation Northern Arrows last week, the Israeli army said the ground offensive would involve “limited, localized and targeted raids” to remove Hezbollah infrastructure along the disputed de facto border between the two countries, known as the blue line.

The rapid deployment of four divisions operating across south Lebanon, alongside evacuation orders for Lebanese villages upwards of 20 miles from the blue line and the intensive bombing of the country’s south, east and the capital, suggests however that Israel is preparing for a wider offensive against the Lebanese militia.

Since 1978 a series of Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon, including a years-long occupation, have failed to bring security and calm to northern Israel.

Support for Israel Has Cost US Taxpayers At Least $22.76 Billion in One Year

Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University reports:

U.S. spending on Israel’s military operations and related U.S operations in the region total at least $22.76 billion and counting. This estimate is conservative; while it includes approved security assistance funding since October 7, 2023, supplemental funding for regional operations, and an estimated additional cost of operations, it does not include any other economic costs.

This figure includes the $17.9 billion the U.S. government has approved in security assistance for Israeli military operations in Gaza and elsewhere since October 7 – substantially more than in any other year since the U.S. began granting military aid to Israel in 1959. Yet the report describes how this is only a partial amount of the U.S. financial support provided during this war.

Related U.S. military operations in the broader region since October 7 are part of the fuller picture. In particular, the U.S. Navy has significantly scaled up its defensive and offensive operations against Houthi militants in Yemen, which the Houthis claim is related to Israel’s war in Gaza. Hostilities have escalated to become the most sustained military campaign by U.S. forces since the 2016-2019 air war against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. U.S. operations in the region, including in Yemen, have already cost the U.S. government $4.86 billion (included in the overall figure, above, of $22.76 billion).

NOTE: US voters strongly favor ceasefire and de-escalation. This military spending goes against the will and priorities of Americans.

Nearly all the publicly available information on U.S. arms transfers to Israel comes from leaks reported by the media. The Biden administration says very little about the weapons it delivers to Israel or how the Israeli military uses them.

Report: US Considers Launching Airstrikes Against Iran To Support Israeli Attack

NBC News reports:

American military officials have discussed possibly supporting Israeli retaliation with intelligence or airstrikes of their own, according to two U.S. officials.

The U.S. has long supported Israel with intelligence and that support could continue during Israel’s retaliatory strikes against Iran, the two officials said.

NOTE: Characterizing Israel’s strikes against Iran as “retaliatory” de-contextualizes the conflict, which began when Israel attacked the Iranian consulate in Syria on April 1, then killed Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran on July 31; Israel also assassinated Hezbollah leader Nasrallah on September 27th.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi correctly declared that Iran’s missile attack was an act of “self-defense” that only targeted military and security sites used for attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. He pointed out that Iran’s measured attack came “after exercising tremendous restraint for almost two months [after the attack inside Iran], to give space for a ceasefire in Gaza.”

The foreign minister added that Iran’s action was “concluded” unless Israel “decides to invite further retaliation” – words that indicate that Western leaders who want an end to the conflict ought to counsel Israel to let the matter drop.

NBC continues: Senior U.S. military officials have also discussed conducting very limited strikes against Iranian targets, the two officials said. Strikes inside Iran have been discussed, as have strikes on targets outside Iran, though strikes of any kind are less likely than intelligence sharing, the officials said.

The U.S. could target Iranian assets at sea, the officials said, or try to disrupt Iran’s military assistance to proxies in the region by hitting Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps sites that support militia groups in Yemen or Syria.

A U.S. strike on an Iranian target could be considered defensive if it eliminates a possible threat to the U.S. or allies, like previous American strikes on Iran-linked targets inside Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.

NOTE: Iran has already declared that Israel’s allies ought to “part ways with the [Israeli] regime,” suggesting that an attack on Iran by the US would not go unanswered – that is, while some players might consider a US strike on Iran to be “defensive,” Iran would not.

ALSO NOTE: The US has offered Israel a “compensation package” if it avoids hitting certain targets in its planned attack on Iran, The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday, citing the Israeli TV channel Kan 11.

Sky News investigation: ‘Undeniable’ – Probe Confirms Israeli Army Presence when Hind Rajab was Killed in Gaza



STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – OCTOBER 8, 2024:

Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 8, 2024: at least 42,753* ( 42,010 in Gaza* – 69% are women and children, according to Gaza’s Media Office). [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 743 in the West Bank (~160 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 25 from West Bank).
At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
Palestinian injuries from October 7 – October 8, 2024: at least 103,920 (including at least 97,720 in Gaza and 6,200 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 8, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is at least 2,119 and 10,019 injuries. An estimated 1.2 million have been displaced.

NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.

*Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.

**Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.

***The figure does not include the reportedly 56 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

† For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

“Israel Takes Its Last Breath”
The India ObserverOctober 8, 2024
You are Here: Tweet, Like, Share, Comment, Subscribe…be the Voice of Free Press!

By Ari Shavit, Copy Edited By Adam Rizvi, The India Observer, TIO: It seems that we are facing the most difficult people in history, and there is no other solution but to recognize their rights and end the occupation.

Shavit begins his article by saying: It appears we have passed the point of no return, and it may be that “Israel” can no longer end the occupation, stop colonization, or achieve peace. It seems impossible to reform Zionism, save democracy, and divide the people of this land.

If the situation is as it is, then:

There is no reason to live in this country.
There is no reason to write in “Haaretz.”
There is no reason to read “Haaretz.”
We must follow what Rogel Alpher suggested two years ago—leave the country… If “Israelism” and Jewishness are no longer a vital part of one’s identity, and if every Israeli citizen holds a foreign passport, not only technically but psychologically, then it’s over. We should say goodbye to our friends and move to San Francisco, Berlin, or Paris.

From there, from the land of new German nationalism or new American nationalism, we should calmly watch as the “State of Israel” takes its last breath.

We must take three steps back and watch the Jewish democratic state sink:

Perhaps the issue is not yet resolved.
Perhaps we have not yet passed the point of no return.
Perhaps it is still possible to end the occupation, stop colonization, reform Zionism, save democracy, and divide the land.

The writer continues:

I have pointed the finger at Netanyahu, Lieberman, and the neo-Nazis to wake them up from their Zionist delusion.

Trump, Kushner, Biden, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton are not the ones who will end the occupation. The United Nations and the European Union will not stop the settlements. The only force in the world capable of saving Israel from itself is the Israelis themselves, by creating a new political language that recognizes reality and the fact that Palestinians are rooted in this land. I urge you to seek a third way to survive here and not perish.

The writer from Haaretz confirms:

Since the Israelis arrived in Palestine, they have realized that they are the result of a lie created by the Zionist movement, which used all sorts of deception regarding Jewish identity throughout history.

By exploiting and exaggerating what Hitler called the Holocaust, the movement succeeded in convincing the world that Palestine is the “Promised Land” and that the so-called Temple lies beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Thus, the wolf was turned into a lamb, which was nurtured by American and European taxpayer money until it grew into a nuclear monster.

Also Read, Tweet & Share: “Broad Coalition of NJ Based organizations condemn attacks against worshippers at Al Aqsa Mosque Compound and demand action from Elected Leaders”

The writer sought help from Western and Jewish archaeologists, the most famous being Israel Finkelstein from Tel Aviv University, who confirmed that “the Temple is a lie and a fairy tale that does not exist,” and all excavations have proven that it disappeared thousands of years ago. This has been explicitly confirmed in many Jewish references, and numerous Western archaeologists have corroborated this.

The last of these was in 1968 AD, when the British archaeologist Dr. Kathleen Kenyon, while she was the director of excavations at the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem, carried out excavations in Jerusalem and was expelled from Palestine due to her revelation of “Israeli myths about the existence of traces of Solomon’s Temple beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Also Read, Tweet & Share: Reflections, Mapping Gaza

She concluded that there is no trace of Solomon’s Temple and discovered that what the Israelis call “Solomon’s Stables” has nothing to do with Solomon or stables but is an architectural model of palaces commonly built in various parts of Palestine. This is despite the fact that Kathleen Kenyon came from the Palestine Exploration Fund Society, with the purpose of clarifying the narratives in the Bible, as she showed great activity in Britain in the mid-19th century concerning the history of the “Near East.”

Also Read, Tweet & Share: Since cursing won’t help, try reason

The Jewish writer emphasized that:

The curse of lies is what haunts the Israelis, and day after day it strikes them in the face in the form of a knife in the hand of a Jerusalemite, Hebronite, or Nabulsi, or with a stone or from a bus driver from Jaffa, Haifa, or Acre.

The Israelis realize they have no future in Palestine; this is not a land without a people as they falsely claimed. Another writer acknowledges not just the existence of the Palestinian people but rather their superiority over the Israelis. This is Gideon Levy, the leftist Zionist, who says:

It seems that the Palestinians are of a different nature from the rest of humanity… We occupied their land and treated their youth with drugs, prostitution, and depravity. We said that after a few years, they would forget their homeland and land, and then the younger generation would erupt in the 1987 Intifada.

Also Read, Tweet & Share: Clearing their name …

We imprisoned them.

We said, “We will raise them in prison.” Years later, after thinking they had learned their lesson, they returned to us with the armed uprising in 2000, which consumed everything green and dry.

We said we would demolish their houses.

We besieged them for many years, and then they extracted missiles and managed to attack us despite the siege and destruction.

We started planning the separation wall and barbed wire… yet they came to us from underground and through tunnels, inflicting heavy losses on us.

During the last war, we fought them with all our might, yet they took control of the Israeli satellite (Amos)? They spread terror in every Israeli home by broadcasting threats and warnings, as happened when their youth managed to seize control of Israel’s Channel 2.

Ultimately, as the author says:

It seems that we are dealing with the most difficult people in history, and there is no other solution for them but to recognize their rights and end the occupation.

HIS WORD ABOVE HIS NAME (PS.138:2)

RE-DEFINING THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY!.
(JER.1:4-19,2COR.11:13-15)!

Perhaps, one of the greatest scourge that has hurt mankind and given the devil much victory, is in the fiasco he subtly but craftily introduced much in recent history, is in the prophetic ministry.

For a keen observer of Christendom, it's undeniable that the activities of modern day prophets have dealt the church a devastating blow, like no other malpractice has ever done, in a very long time.
And one of its greatest and successful achievements is,the seemingly breathing space it has established as a distraction to lazy Christians, who no longer see the need to study the WORD OF GOD, nor develop our prayer lives,since someone has volunteered to go the whole way as long as the pay is okay.

Prophetic churches are jam-packed with fortune seeking christians during their meetings, who usually return home famished in their spirits because, instead of being fed with the WORD OF GOD, they're ENTERTAINED with various stories, and physical expressions, which often more than not leaves the hearers with more faith in what man(Satan),can do, than what God has done for us in Christ Jesus.

The havoc this religious thespians have wrecked on the church can better be imagined. Many a soul, family, marriage and business, etc, has been destroyed and scattered. And their modus operandi has become so sophisticated, that it really takes God's Grace not to fall a victim;

13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2Co 11: 13-15)

Looking at the church today, it's almost like*MANY ARE CALLED, AND ALL ARE CHOSEN*! It's so so so disheartening that the true servant of God is held with derision and mockery, for in the public perception, all are both sides of the same coin. Like what is happening today in Nigeria, fishing out the genuinely called has become a Herculean task, for all have become deliverance and prophetic ministers...even those known to be committed to holiness and teaching of God's Word have weakened except at least one,in whom is yet found a great measure of respect !

God gives a specific assignment or mandate(customized message) to every vessel HE chooses to work with. Thus, a Biblical prophet is one who hears from God, and speaks for God. That is, they are messengers who courageously communicate God's message to HIS people. They're God's servants, shepherds and watchmen, NOT GOD'S MASTERS.

13. Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. (Hag 1:13)

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amo 3: 7)also--Jer.17:16,Isa.62:6,etc.
Unlike what obtains today,their authority comes from God alone,whose messages (not their personal messages), they bear.
4. Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. (Jer 1: 4-8)

BUT TODAY, IT'S THUS SAITH THE LORD..WHERE DID YOU MEET AND HEARD FROM HIM, ? IS IT THE WALLET OF THE BENEFICIARY?

So, you see the prophetic ministry has been abused, and bastardized by man. it's being exploited for personal gain by man, and God isn't pleased. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ARGUMENT,BUT I CAN'T ESCAPE SAYING THE * TITLE, PROPHET* ENDED WITH JOHN THE BAPTIST.

Come to think of it,prophecy wasn't really supposed to be an independent ministry again, after Christ Jesus came, whereby one is supposed to be self titled *Prophet* again!

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (Luk 16: 16, Matt.11:13).

This became so because of the outpouring of the HOLY GHOST,on Pentecost Day, upon believers, wherefore priesthood wasn't anymore a family affair nor prophecy a secluded gift. The RIPPED VEIL in the Temple was symbolic of this;

And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. (Luk 23: 45)

16. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: (Act 2: 16-18)

Thus, these gifts became available and a treasure to anyone who believes in Christ Jesus and HIS great work of REDEMPTION.
Thus, titling one's self a prophet wasn't really necessary again, as a God called pastor is expected to manifest two or more of the FIVE LEADERSHIP GIFTS...!

Howbeit, that just like some other christian beliefs that have been quite difficult to divorce from christian practice, prophecy has been grossly tainted by mundane minded church men, as the purpose has been defeated. The GENUINE and the FAKE have so muddled the whole process that there's no trust again.

Thus saith the LORD, and HE didn't say anything. Very sensitive and insensitive untruths continue to emanate from these individuals, destroying marriages, families, friendships, careers and what have you. Many faint hearted christians have even lost faith.

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? (Jer 5: 31)

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! (Eze 13: 3)

They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. (Eze 13: 6)

Prophets ought to serve the purpose of God, and not God serving their purpose. God's purpose for prophecy is as clear as daylight.
Down through the ages,God has used and continues to use HIS true servants to express HIS Thoughts and Mind to HIS children, warning them about the future, and saving them from the present, even using the past to correct them. The main purpose of God for HIS messengers, was to bear God's Word for the aim of teaching, reproving, correcting and training in righteousness (2Tim.3:16, 1Tim.6:11)!

But,this inspiring function,they have apparently shunned and abandoned today:

10. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. (Isa 56: 10-12)

GOD BEING SO KIND AND TOLERANT OF ME GAVE ME THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE AS MY MANDATE.HE TAUGHT ME PERSONALLY FROM OCTOBER 1-31 AND CONFIRMED IT WITH A SIGN. HE SENT ME TO HIS SHEPHERDS AND NOT FLOCKS. BUT I YIELDED TO THE FLESH AND I AM SERVING MY CHASTISEMENT IN REVERENCE. WHAT HE HAS DONE TO THE GLORY OF HIS NAME IN SIX YEARS NOW, I COULDN'T DO THE TINIEST FRACTION IN 12 YEAR ON BOTH LEGS.

We aren't called to be witch catchers, but to be a solution to our world. We aren't called to scatter homes,but to repair broken marriages and relationships. Neither are we called to be accusers of men,but to liberate them from satanic bondage. Our ministry is and should be the ministry of reconciliation.
AMEN

The vaccine programme
In the 1950s it was recommended that children should be vaccinated for whooping cough, diphtheria and polio by the time they reached three years old. They were then expected to have boosters at the ages of five and seven. The BCGwas recommended at twelve or thirteen years old. Nowadays this policy has changed so that children are routinely immunised with DPT, polio and HiB (the haemophilus influenza bacteria that is present in meningitis) at two, three and four months old, and with MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) at twelve months old. Both these vaccines are then given again at pre-school age though the pertussis (medical term for whooping cough) is usually left out. At the end of secondary education adults are recommended to have a further booster of the diphtheria and tetanus vaccine. The meningitis C vaccine is also recommended as it is the seventeen to twenty age group that most readily contracts this variety of the disease. There are variations to this schedule across the country.

What is in the syringe?
In the hypodermic syringe is a cocktail; not only of live, attenuated or detoxified extracts of the viruses and bacteria, but also of preservatives such as formaldehyde, antibiotics (such as streptomycin), mercury, aluminium and a range of far from innocuous chemicals such as hydrochloric acid. Any reports of side effects are seen to be caused by the bacteria or viruses used. This may be an inaccurate premise as any chemical or metal foreign to the body is capable of causing biochemical reactions within the organism. Formaldehyde can cause tissue damage; antibiotics can cause disturbance to the digestion and to the hormone cycle; mercury causes toxic reactions such as have already been discussed; aluminium can cause paralysis.

Furthermore, in an effort to encourage a broad-spectrum immunity to several diseases early on in life, the syringe contains the material of several diseases at once. The two-month-old body is asked to cope with the introduction directly into the bloodstream of five differing diseases: whooping cough, that affects the respiratory system; diphtheria, which attacks the lymphatic tissue of the throat; tetanus, which affects the entire central nervous system; haemophilus, which is an influenza virus that can cause meningitis; and polio, which affects the gut, the musculature and central nervous system, and which is introduced orally. Amongst these five, only whooping cough is actually a recognised childhood disease. Meningitis C is given separately but is nevertheless expected to be taken on by the infant body at the same time as the others.

The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine is a shot that is intended to protect against three childhood diseases that are usually of short duration and without any lasting side effects. The MMR and, most recently, meningitis C and the pre-school boosters are all given before puberty sets in. This means that children are immunised against nine different diseases before their own natural immune system’s defence mechanism has matured. In addition, this toxic brew is introduced directly into the bloodstream, a situation that does not happen in nature at all. (Though tetanus is the result of a wound, it is the nervous system that is affected and not the circulatory system or the lymphatics.)

VERSIONE IN ITALIANO

Unlike other investigations, this one will be shorter.

Especially because too many American and European idiots have not yet understood the tremendous danger to which Biden-NATO’s wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are exposing us. If you can wake them up, you will give a great beneficial gift to humanity before it’s too late!!!

Hezbollah Missiles impact Haifa city, IOF admits many Dead and Injured

But above all, they have not even remotely grasped that some of the world’s leaders, more servants of the New World Order than responsible for the fate of their nations, are leading us towards an abyss well prefigured by the Book of the Apocalypse of St. John to which we have dedicated an exhaustive geopolitical-theological investigation.

Iran’s Nuclear Test or Natural Earthquake?

Even the British newspaper The Guardian, out of respect for the truth that has been completely hidden in the Italian mainstream for many years and in particular after the massacres caused by the adverse reactions of the Covid vaccines, had to publish an article analyzing the geopolitical situation in the Middle East in which it points out enormous problems that contrast with the easy Zionist-Masonic policy of US and UE:

“The core fact remains that Iran has proven it can hit Israel hard if it so chose,” writes Decker Eveleth, an analyst with the research and analysis group CNA, who analysed the satellite images for a blogpost.

“Airbases are hard targets, and the sort of target that likely won’t produce many casualties. Iran could choose a different target – say, a densely packed IDF ground forces base, or a target within a civilian area – anda missile strike there would produce a large number of [casualties].”

FREEMASONRY & ZIONISM – 1. Apocalyptic “Cataclysms” by Synagogue of Satan: Genocides in Palestine & Plotted Pandemic for Lethal Vaccines.

In the longer term, Israel may target Iranian ballistic missile production lines and infrastructure in order to prevent attacks. Benjamin Netanyahu has long argued that the Iranian ballistic missile programme is as dangerous to Israel as its nuclear programme is.

«In the longer term, Israel may target Iranian ballistic missile production lines and infrastructure in order to prevent attacks. Benjamin Netanyahu has long argued that the Iranian ballistic missile programme is as dangerous to Israel as its nuclear programme is» adds Andrew Roth in his analysis on The Guardian that prefigures an apocalyptic scenario already announced by Russia.

A Diabolical Project that goes beyond the Military

The explanation of these potentially suicidal maneuvers is complex from a geopolitical and military perspective but extremely simple from a spiritual one…

US OK TO ISRAELI INVASION IN LEBANON. BIDEN forces MIDDLE EAST toward HUGE WAR. To Engage Moscow and Weaken the Russian Army in Ukraine

Since this entire project of genocide and devastation is animated by diabolical Zionism, Netanyahu does not care how many victims (also Israeli) he will be able to cause because they are all prey that his satanic vision and exaltation leads towards the Hell to which he is devoted (if they are not ready to die in the Grace of God as the Queen of Peace of Medjugorje teaches).

“I’ve told the Americans, I’ve told my colleagues in the White House and the US Department of State that you are pushing [the world] towards a nuclear catastrophe,” Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said.

“TOWARDS A NUCLEAR CATASTROPHE”. Russia Warning on US Policies in Middle East and Ukraine. Arrest’s Risk for NATO Chief

Despite this, both the American Democratic President Joseph Biden, the great director of the plot that unleashed the war in Ukraine, and the Republican challenger for the White House (of the Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris) Donald Trump insist on wanting to face a war against Iran that could become nuclear due to the atomic warheads developed by Tehran especially after the treacherous assassination of the Iranian general Qadeem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Forces of the Pasdaran who helped Syria defeat the Islamic State created by the Caliph Al Baghdadi with the complicity of the American counter-espionage CIA and Israeli MOSSAD who were responsible for the latest escalations in the Middle East.

NASRALLAH KILLED by American-Made Bombs! Iran: “US complicit with the Zionists in Terror Attack vs the Hezbollah chief”

But the third most terrible danger for Italy, Europe and the entire West comes from the fact that any nuclear explosion in Iran, Israel, Lebanon or Palestine will produce winds of highly harmful waste – and potentially lethal in the short and medium term – like the toxic cloud that was produced by the explosion in a depleted uranium-based ammunition depot in Ukraine in May 2023 and hidden by all the mainstream media to minimize the direct consequences in Europe of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.

This “flood” of radioactivity could cause not only hundreds but thousands and thousands of deaths in a few months or years… One of the greatest Italian scholars explained it in a previous article on Gospa News.

The Kiev regime is training militants from the international Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorist organization banned in Russia in Syria in coordination with the US, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an article, published on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website.

“Vladimir Zelensky’s regime, in coordination with the Americans, is training terrorists from Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham in Syria, using new UAV production technologies for combat operations against Russian forces in the republic,” the minister said, according to TASS Russian News Agency.

Lavrov noted that the Western coalition continues to carry out strikes in Syria, “effectively encouraging the Kiev regime to engage in similar terrorist activities in Russian regions, where civilians and civilian infrastructure are targeted with direct support from the West.”

On September 14, the Turkish newspaper Aydinlik claimed to have footage of meetings in Syria between Ukrainians and members of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, an organization banned in Russia. The newspaper published a photo showing two individuals — one wearing a T-shirt with a trident emblem on the sleeve, and the other dressed in a gray-blue military uniform. The report stated that the images were taken in Idlib and dated back to June of this year.

ATTACK IN MOSCOW: PUTIN “TERRORISTS ARE RADICAL ISLAMISTS TIED WITH UKRAINE”. Paid $5,000 to Maximize Victims

On September 12, Lavrov said at a roundtable meeting with the heads of diplomatic missions on the Ukrainian issue that Ukrainian intelligence emissaries were actively recruiting Islamist militants in Syria and Africa to carry out terrorist operations.

He drew attention to the fact that Ukrainian special services had involved radical Islamists in the preparation and implementation of the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall.

Thousands of Japanese Citizens Flood Streets to Protest WHO, WEF, Bill Gates, Vaccines
Frank BergmanApril 15, 2024 - 12:24 pm

Tens of thousands of Japanese citizens have taken to the streets in huge rallies to protest threats to the nation’s sovereignty from globalist outside forces.

Protesters are demonstrating to pressure the Japanese government to reject the World Health Organization’s (WHO) “Global Pandemic Treaty.”

As Slay News has reported, the Pandemic Treaty will grant the WHO, and its parent agency the United Nations, with sweeping global powers that override the laws of individual nations.

Under the treaty, the WHO will be able to enforce global lockdowns and other measures in the event of an “emergency” such as a pandemic or “climate change.”

After declaring an “emergency,” the WHO would have the power to roll out vaccine mandates, “climate lockdowns,” food rationing, travel recitations, mass censorship, and more.

It will essentially empower the UN to act as a single global government.

All 193 UN member states – which includes Japan, the United States, and most other Western nations – are expected to sign the treaty next month.

Not only is the United States planning to sign the treaty, but it was Democrat President Joe Biden who urged the WHO to move forward with the plan in 2022.

While the power grab from the WHO and the UN has faced little pushback from the corporate media-trusting public, citizens in Japan, meanwhile, are outraged that their government is planning to sign the treaty.

Protests erupted over the weekend as the people of Japan voiced their concerns over “infectious disease,” “climate change,” and “public health” becoming potent tools for an unprecedented push toward a totalitarian surveillance society.

From the bustling streets of Ikebukuro to the gatherings at Higashi-Ikebukuro Central Park, the sheer scale of participation speaks volumes.

Organizers estimate that a monumental 100,000 protesters joined the rallies.

They demanded answers on crucial issues, such as the huge spikes in excess deaths and the lack of transparency on the adverse effects following vaccinations.

The protest not just opposed potential mandatory vaccinations but also the perceived overreach of health authorities and their ties with global Big Pharma.

They were echoing a distressing sentiment of disenfranchisement among the populace.

Demonstrators criticized the lack of explanations for a sharp increase in excess deaths and demanded accountability and clarity on vaccine-related casualties.

Eminent speakers included Professor Masayasu Inoue and modern history researcher Chikatsu Hayashi.

They provided compelling pre-demonstration speeches that laid bare the concerning dynamics between global health authorities and pharmaceutical agendas.

Professor Inoue highlighted the concerning trend of our health being weaponized in what he termed as “a third world war fought with information.”

He urged the public to resist introducing genetic vaccines into their bodies, implicating a significant portion of WHO’s funding comes from pharmaceutical giants and private interests like the Bill Gates Foundation.

Inoue cited several threats to the people of Japan, including the WHO, World Economic Forum (WEF), Gates, the “New World Order,” and President Biden.

At the beginning of the rally, Inoue delivered a powerful speech, stating:

“There indeed exists something very evil.

“It’s often dismissed with a single phrase as a ‘conspiracy’, but in reality, conspiracies have been part of our genetics and culture since the Age of Exploration, continuing to this day.

“I came to realize this,” the world-renowned professor noted.

“In that sense, my message for today is about vaccines that use our genetics to make our bodies produce pathogens or proteins, even if they’re disguised as vaccines, for example, next could be influenza.

“And now, there’s panic over sugar and various other things, but the strategy to use messenger types for everything has become the basic strategy of American global pharmaceutical companies.

“To everyone here, among friends and acquaintances, introducing genetic vaccines into the body should not be done, regardless of the type.

“Take this as the key message home; by doing so, I hope you can protect your children and grandchildren.

“In this sense, half a century later, what was then WHO, has over these last four years been guiding us through some absurd directions.

“Upon investigation, over 85% of WHO’s budget turns out to be funded by pharmaceutical companies and stakeholders like Bill Gates Foundation, indicating that it’s being directed towards their interests.

“This means our health is being used as a weapon, and now we’re in the midst of a third world war fought with information, questioning whether responsible adults are aware and able to protect themselves accordingly.”

In a separate speech, Hayashi said:

“Let’s stop the third atomic bomb with our hands, in the hands of the Japanese people. Shall we not?

“This national movement actually has four objectives.

“First, a pledge and declaration.

“Here, we vow to protect our children, to protect Japan,” he declared.

“We stand against WHO, global totalitarianism, pandemic treaties, submarine IHR, genetic vaccines, plandemic, control of information, and declare to eliminate all these.

“Figures such as Tedros, Gates, Schwab, Biden, representatives of the New World Order.

“One of their primary agents, Fumio Kishida.

“And Kamikawa, further, Japan’s Fauci, Takemi, Takemi, Takemi.

“The term New World Order came up earlier, but though it has ‘New’ in its name, it’s actually an old order.

“It’s an order that should collapse,” Hayashi concluded.

WATCH:

This follows a powerful message to the world delivered by Prof Inoue just a few days ago, as Slay News reported.

The most precarious place in the world to be a child: Israel’s year of war on children

Israel’s onslaught against the Palestinian people has systematically targeted children in both Gaza and the West Bank. The result is a war against an entire generation.

By Tareq S. Hajjaj and Qassam Muaddi, reposted from Mondoweiss

A year into the genocide in Gaza and the intensifying military and settler onslaught in the West Bank, children have been the most consistently targeted group by Israel in all of historic Palestine.

Every year at around this time, the new school year is well underway in the Gaza Strip and university students are starting their first semesters. But since October of last year, not only is there no more school, but all education in the Gaza Strip has been decimated.

This is to say nothing of the systematic killing of children throughout the war — UN chief Antonio Guterres said Gaza had become a “graveyard for children” only a month into the genocidal war. Added to that are the long-term mental and health effects children will experience as a result of exposure to disease, chronic malnutrition, and relentless violence.

While paling in comparison to Gaza, children in the West Bank have also been targeted by Israeli forces and settlers with alarming regularity. Since October 7, the killing and maiming of Palestinian children by Israeli forces and settlers has skyrocketed according to human rights groups, leading to the deaths of at least 140 Palestinian minors under the age of 18 in the space of 11 months — at a rate of one child killed every other day.

While the effects of Israel’s war in Gaza have understandably garnered the most global attention, the Israeli violations against Palestinian childhood in both the West Bank and Gaza have made it clear that Israel has launched a war against an entire generation across Palestine.

Childhood under the gun in Gaza

On July 29, the Gaza-based Ministry of Education announced that 39,000 high school students from the Gaza Strip did not take the Tawjihi exam this year, with 10,000 of them killed alongside 400 school teachers.

The Government Media Office said that since the beginning of the war on Gaza, the Israeli army had completely destroyed 125 schools and universities and partially destroyed 336 schools and universities.

The assault on education is mirrored in the genocidal onslaught on all other sectors that make society in Gaza function, from healthcare to food systems to waste management facilities. But one of the most insidious parts of targeting the educational sector is that it aims to erase children’s future.

Sharif Alaa is one of many students originally from al-Shuja’iyya in Gaza City who are now living in the Mawasi “safe zone” in Khan Younis after seven rounds of displacement. At around this time last year in his old neighborhood in Gaza, he was starting his last year of high school and looking forward to applying to university the following year.

Sharif studied well throughout the past year, even amid the genocide, in order to get a high score that would enable him to specialize in the sciences. Sharif clung to his dream even when it seemed impossible given the circumstances, continuing to study throughout his multiple displacements. He held onto hope that at least some students would be allowed to take the exams in certain areas declared “safe” in Gaza.

But he never saw the inside of an exam hall. He listened to the annual radio announcements over the summer with great pain as the high school tawjihi results excluded the Gaza Strip for the first time in their history. Instead of announcing the results of the students who passed, the Gaza Ministry of Education announced the number of martyred students and teachers in the Gaza Strip.

“They destroyed my future without even harming me physically. So what about those who are injured? I feel indescribable pain because I lost my future. I was waiting to enter a new chapter of my life, and now it’s gone,” Sharif told Mondoweiss.

Ironically, Sharif spent much of his time in school compounds that had been converted into shelters throughout the war, first in northern Gaza, then in the south.

“Schools have lost their value as a place of education,” Sharif said. “They’ve become a place of displacement and loss of home and security.”

“These chairs, these tables, they were used for learning,” Sharif went one. “The school’s mornings were filled with national anthems…Now, classrooms are used as bedrooms housing several families, and people light wood in them to cook their food. This is no longer a school.”

On August 1, UNRWA launched an educational program for children to make up for parts of the school year they had missed. At the very least, it aimed to provide a safe space for children to play, learn, grow, and reunite with old friends.

“In its first phase, UNRWA will expand the ongoing psychosocial support activities, focusing on arts, music, and sports — as well as raising awareness on the risks of explosive ordinance,” UNRWA said in a press release.

“Children in Gaza are traumatized and shocked,” Scott Anderson, UNRWA Director in Gaza, said in the statement. “We are launching the back to learning program today to help children cope and just be children.”

Precarious childhood in the West Bank

In the West Bank, the conditions of Palestinian children’s safety have been deteriorating even a full year before October 7. But as of the start of the war last year, these conditions have plummeted.

According to a study published by Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP) on September 9, Israeli forces or settlers killed at least 140 Palestinian minors under the age of 18 in the space of 11 months — at a rate of one child killed every two days.

The latest of these victims was Bana Baker Laboum, 13, killed on September 6 during an attack by Israeli settlers on her village of Qaryout, southeast of Nablus. She was killed two days before the beginning of the school year.

According to testimonies by her family and residents, Bana was in her bedroom when Israeli settlers rampaged through the southern part of the village, opening fire on Palestinian houses.

One of the bullets hit her in the chest. She was hospitalized at the Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, where she was later pronounced dead.

At Bana’s school in Qaryout, a portrait of her in the middle of a wreath of flowers filled her place on her classroom bench.

Her classmate described Bana as “a very kind heart, always ready to comfort those who cried when seeing images of people suffering in Gaza.”

Speaking to the local Palestinian Fajer TV amidst tears, Bana’s classmate said that “she was in her room preparing her books, and she had planned to go out later that day to buy more things for the beginning of school.”

Her English language teacher and supervisor of the school’s girl scout group, described her as “a very polite, joyful, and bookish girl.” Her father, Amjad Baker Laboum, told Palestine TV that “I look at her classmates and I see Bana in each one of them.”

Children targeted before October 7

While children in the Gaza Strip are forced to miss the beginning of the school year for the second time since the war began, the return to classes in the West Bank has been marked by increasing insecurity and fear as of two years ago, especially in areas most targeted by Israeli violence.

Already in December 2023, UNICEF reported that the killing of Palestinian children in the West Bank, including east Jerusalem, had reached “unprecedented levels.” In the last 12 weeks of 2023, Israel had already killed 83 Palestinian children in the West Bank, more than double the number of children killed in all of 2022, which was already considered one of the deadliest years for Palestinian children. More than 576 children had been injured in the same period.

“Living with a near-constant feeling of fear and grief is, sadly, all too common for children affected,” UNICEF stated. “Many children report that fear has become a part of their daily life, with many scared even walking to school or playing outside due to the threat of shootings.”

Since the beginning of 2024, the killing and maiming of children has only increased with each new Israeli military campaign.

In the latest major Israeli assault on West Bank cities, dubbed “Operation Summer Camps” in late August, Israeli forces killed 11 children and minors, aged between 13 and 17. Most of them were from Tulkarem, Tubas, and Jenin, where the heaviest part of Israel’s military operations in the West Bank have been concentrated as of October of last year.

“Israeli forces are killing Palestinian children with calculated brutality and cruelty all throughout the occupied Palestinian territory,” DCIP director Khaled Quzmar said in a statement.

Said Abu Eqtaish, also from DCIP, said that “not a single person has been held accountable for the killing of these children, emboldening Israeli forces to continue killing with impunity.”

Death and maiming is only the most visible part of the impact of Israeli violence on Palestinian children in the West Bank.

“Children’s school performance has dropped dramatically, as many of them haven’t been going to school regularly because of the repeated raids,” Nehaya al-Jundi, a mother and director of the handicapped children rehabilitation center in Nur Shams refugee camp, told Mondoweiss.

“Many suffer from distraction, uncontrolled fear, and involuntary urination, and for the mentally handicapped ones it is harder, because they don’t understand what happens around them.”

Nur Shams has been one of the hardest-hit areas in Israel’s relentless military campaign last August, which caused the widespread destruction of the camp’s civilian infrastructure.

“My daughter understands what happens in the camp, which makes it difficult to protect her from the reality,” Al-Jundi said. “Although she adapts and understands, she can’t hide her fear, which is constant.”

“For us mothers, it is difficult to protect our children from the trauma, because we are traumatized ourselves,” she added. “The most difficult trauma for children is the lack of safety, including inside their homes, as many of them have witnessed raids to their homes, and the arrest, and even the killing, of family members.”

As Israel’s crackdown on Palestinians in the West Bank continues to escalate amid expectations of a repeat of the “Gaza model,” Palestinian children continue to be the most vulnerable sector to Israeli violence, bearing the heaviest part of its impact. According to the DCIP report, a full 20% of children killed in the West Bank between 2000 and 2024 were slain after October 7.

Meanwhile, Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip continue to be killed on a daily basis, and the massacres show no sign of stopping. Those who survive are deprived of education, exposed to diseases and starvation, orphaned with no surviving parents, and traumatized.

The result has been a year of war against children that has made Palestine the most precarious place in the world to be a child.

On the first anniversary of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army continued its deadly strikes on Monday, killing 42 Palestinians across the devastated enclave.

The health ministry in Lebanon said that Israeli airstrikes killed 22 people and injured 110 others in southern Lebanon on Sunday.

On October 7th, top US politicians focus on crime against Israel, barely nod to Palestinian pain, ignore US complicity

President Biden: On this day last year, the sun rose on what was supposed to be a joyous Jewish holiday. By sunset, October 7 had become the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust…We will not stop working to achieve a ceasefire deal in Gaza that brings the hostages home, allows for a surge in humanitarian aid to ease the suffering on the ground, assures Israel’s security, and ends this war.

VP Kamala Harris: We must uphold the commitment to repair the world, an idea that has been passed on throughout generations of the Jewish people and across many faiths. And to that end, we must work to relieve the immense suffering of innocent Palestinians in Gaza who have experienced so much pain and loss over the year.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump commemorated the one-year anniversary of the October 7 attack by lighting a memorial candle at his resort in Florida. In his comments, he said, “I will not allow the Jewish state to be threatened with destruction, I will not allow another Holocaust of the Jewish people, I will not allow a jihad to be waged on America or its allies, and I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror.”

Trump also spoke about antisemitism, claiming it is only a problem within the Democratic Party: “The Republican Party has not been infected by this horrible disease, and hopefully it won’t be. It won’t be as long I’m in charge.”

The armed wing of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group on Monday added historical context when it said the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on Oct. 7 last year “was preemptive as the (Israeli) occupation aggression reached a dangerous level.”

The spokesperson added, “A year has passed and we are still fighting in an asymmetrical battle a criminal enemy that doesn’t hesitate to commit all crimes.”

Israel has killed 146 doctors in Gaza: Ministry

Anadolu Agency reports:

Israel has killed 146 doctors from various specialties in Gaza, while most medicines and medical supplies have been depleted amid the Israeli military’s genocide in the enclave, the Gaza Health Ministry announced Sunday.

In a statement marking one year since the start of the Israeli genocide, the ministry said that 83% of medical supplies and 60% of medications are unavailable in hospitals and health centers.

The ministry also noted that there are 25,000 patients and injured people in need of treatment outside the besieged territory.

A few of the many children wounded by shrapnel – some also severely burned – in the course of Israel's now nine-month-long attack on Gaza. The weapons create small pieces of shrapnel that leave barely discernible entry wounds but create extensive destruction inside the body.

Israeli Army Reservist Shown Reading Talmud Passage to Cuffed Palestinians in Viral Video – is this even legal?

Ha’aretz reports:

A video circulated on social media shows an IDF reservist soldier reading a passage from the Talmud to three cuffed Palestinians in the West Bank.

In the footage, which was filmed in recent weeks, the soldier is seen reciting the passage while the three Palestinians lie on the ground, blindfolded. Another soldier, who filmed the incident, can be heard laughing and encouraging the reservist. The social media post has been removed.

In response, the IDF announced that both soldiers involved have been suspended from their duties and will face disciplinary action. The Israeli army added, “The soldier’s behavior in the video is serious and does not align with the values of the IDF or the standards expected of its soldiers.”



Something is happening in northern Gaza – who is telling the truth?

Various agencies report:

The Jerusalem Post reports: The IDF has expanded the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi in northern Gaza [to accommodate Palestinians it has expelled from Jabaliya and other locations in the north], it announced Sunday morning.

This expansion included field hospitals established since the outbreak of the war, tent compounds, and supplies of food, water, and medicine.

Local Palestinians in Jabaliya report that there is nowhere to receive healthcare, nowhere to live, as buildings have been turned to rubble, As has been reported for 12 months, Israel has destroyed hospitals, schools and residential areas

According to Refugees International: In some areas of Gaza, prolonged food scarcity has driven families to desperate measures. Lacking access to food for extended periods, some Gaza residents told Refugees International that they resorted to consuming whatever was available, including non-food items.

A resident from northern Gaza reported that his family went without food for 17 days during the early months of the war, with the scarcity lasting nearly four months. To survive, the family ate animal feed, local weeds, and tree leaves. He recounted, “For four months, the north had no food supplies, and people ate tree leaves.”

One UN official told Refugees International that Gaza was “always two weeks away from a famine” due to the IDF’s refusal to normalize free-flowing aid. UN health officials have reported a significant surge in documented malnutrition cases, with a 170 percent increase across Gaza and a staggering 300 percent rise in the northern region.

Far from providing food, water, and medicine to the people of Gaza, Israel is preventing it – and has been for the last year.



From Anas Alsharif, journalist for Al Jazeera Arabic: “The Israeli occupation forces are committing a series of massacres against civilians in Jabalia camp and Jabalia al-Balad city, where the bodies of martyrs and wounded are spread in the streets, while ambulance and emergency teams are unable to evacuate them due to repeated targeting by drones.”

Israel’s year of war on the West Bank

Mondoweiss reports:

For a year now in the West Bank, Israel has launched a war against Palestinians. While the genocidal assault on Gaza has claimed the lives of tens of thousands, and according to some estimates, hundreds of thousands, the onslaught in the West Bank has ramped up in the form of displacement, the unprecedented expansion of settlements, rampant settler violence and pogroms, economic warfare, mass incarceration, and the launching of a military offensive on centers of resistance across the West Bank.

As of this writing, Israeli forces and settlers have killed 743 Palestinians, wounded 5,250, and displaced 5,947. But underlying these numbers is a far deeper reality of Israeli settler encroachment and creeping annexation in the West Bank.

The Israeli offensive in the West Bank is nothing random, nor is it detached from Israel’s policies in Gaza. It follows a strategy in line with Israel’s stated plans to annex the West Bank and undermine any possibilities for a future Palestinian state.

Although these Israeli policies have been employed by Israel for decades of occupation in the West Bank, observers argue that Israel’s strategy in the West Bank after October 7 has aimed to create a new political reality, heading towards achieving definitive Israeli control over the West Bank.

“It’s like being in an abusive relationship with the world”: Palestinians in the diaspora grapple with collective grief

Middle East Eye reports:

“We have no map to understand the depth, the breadth, the transgenerational component to it, the multi-generational component to it, the persistence of it, and the impact that it’s going to have on our current generation and generations to follow,” psychiatry professor at the University of California San Francisco, Jess Ghannam told viewers of an online webcast, just weeks into the war.

“In the Palestinian context, there is no ‘post’ in post-traumatic stress disorder,” Ghannam said.

Aside from the week-long ceasefire and prisoner swap in November, there has not been a day in the last 365, when air strikes, sniper fire or the threat of famine and disease have not targeted Palestinians in Gaza.

“I’m watching this happen to my people. And I’m looking at these faces, and they look like me, and they sound like me, and they speak like me, and they have the same names as us, and they eat the same foods as us,” Safa Soueissi, a Palestinian American in Tulsa, Oklahoma, told Middle East Eye.

“So if my children were on the street and they were hit by a car and they were bleeding out on the streets, nobody’s gonna care, because they’re Palestinian children?”

“I’ve never personally experienced this amount of grief in my life,” Nada al-Hanooti, a Palestinian American from Dearborn, Michigan, said in January. “It’s like being in an abusive relationship with the world. So it also makes me kind of go crazy with rage.”

Israeli forces beat renowned Palestinian activist to death, kill a 12-year-old child

Various agencies report:

Middle East Eye: Israeli forces on Monday beat to death a renowned 66-year-old Palestinian activist after raiding his home in the occupied West Bank.

Ziad Abu Helaiel was a popular tribal figure in the West Bank, famous for peacefully confronting Israeli soldiers during demonstrations and standing between them and protesters.

Abu Helaiel’s son, Murad, told AFP that around 3am on Monday, a group of Israeli forces stormed their home in Dura, south of Hebron, trying to arrest one of their relatives.

“My father tried to stop them, so they struck him twice on the chest, then pushed him, causing his chest to collide with the door, which led to his martyrdom,” Murad said.

The soldiers then withdrew from the house, leaving Abu Helaiel unconscious on the floor. The activist was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

IMEMC: On Monday, Israeli soldiers invaded the Qalandia refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem, in the West Bank, fatally shot a Palestinian child in the abdomen, shot seven other Palestinians, including three children, and abducted twenty citizens.

In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the soldiers killed a child, identified as Hatem Sami Hisham Gheith, 12.

South Africa to present new evidence of Israel’s genocide in Gaza to ICJ

Middle East Monitor reports:

South Africa intends to present new evidence in the genocide case filed against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), President Cyril Ramaphosa said Monday.

In a statement on the first anniversary of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Ramaphosa said the memorandum that his country will submit this month contains “detailed evidence” proving that Israel committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

He called on Israel to implement the provisional measures issued by the court in January, March and May.

South Africa filed a lawsuit against Israel before the World Court in December 2023 on the grounds that it violated the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention of Genocide.

White House ‘continuing’ to advise Israel on response to Iranian attack

Anadolu Agency reports:

White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Monday that the Biden administration is “continuing to have discussions with the Israelis about their response, obviously responding to Iran’s attack, almost 200 missiles right that went flying into Israel. Our commitment continues to be very clear on Israel’s security, and that’s ironclad.”

US President Joe Biden suggested last week that Israel should not strike Iran’s oil or nuclear facilities.

NOTE: The Israeli paper Jerusalem Post reported Sunday that the US has offered Israel a “compensation package” if it avoids hitting certain targets in its planned attack on Iran.

The package would include military aid and a guarantee that the US would provide total diplomatic support.

“Israeli officials reportedly answered, ‘We consider the United States and listen to them. But we will do anything and everything we can to protect the citizens and the security of the State of Israel.’”

ALSO NOTE: Mainstream media and pro-Israel leaders ignore the context of Iran’s attack, framing it instead as somehow unprovoked. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, however, correctly declared that Iran’s missile attack was an act of “self-defense” that only targeted military and security sites used for attacks on Gaza and Lebanon.

He pointed out that Iran’s measured attack came “after exercising tremendous restraint for almost two months, to give space for a ceasefire in Gaza.”

The foreign minister added that Iran’s action was “concluded” unless Israel “decides to invite further retaliation” – words that indicate that Western leaders who want an end to the conflict ought to counsel Israel to let the matter drop.

Pope Francis slams world’s ‘shameful inability’ to stop Israel-Palestine war

Reuters reports:

Pope Francis criticized, on Monday, what he called the “shameful inability” of the international community to end the war in the Middle East, one year after Hamas’s devastating attack on Israel, Reuters reports.

“It seems that few people care about what is most needed and what is most desired: dialogue and peace,” he wrote. “Violence never brings peace. History proves this, yet years and years of conflict seem to have taught us nothing.”

Francis has recently become more vocal in his criticism of Israel’s military campaign.

On 29 September, the 87-year-old Pontiff criticized Israeli air strikes in Lebanon that killed Hezbollah leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, as well as non-combatants, suggesting the air strikes went “beyond morality”.

Earlier in September, the Pope called Israel’s actions in Lebanon “unacceptable” and urged the international community to do everything possible to halt the fighting.

In his letter on Monday, Francis directly addressed Gazans:

I am with you, the people of Gaza, long embattled and in dire straits. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

I am with you, who have been forced to leave your homes, to abandon schooling and work and to find a place of refuge from the bombing. …

I am with you, who are afraid to look up for fear of fire raining down from the skies.

Earthquake in Iranian desert – could it be a covert nuclear weapons test?

The Cradle reports:

On 5 October 2024, a 4.5-magnitude seismic event occurred in Iran’s Semnan province, sparking speculation that Iran has tested a nuclear weapon for the first time.

Such a seismic event is typically the result of an earthquake, but speculation has arisen on social media suggesting the event was instead an underground nuclear test carried out by the Islamic Republic in response to Israeli threats to bomb Tehran’s nuclear energy and oil facilities.

The speculation that Iran carried out a nuclear test comes just days after the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank in the US, published a report stating that “Iran can produce nuclear weapons far more rapidly than expected.”

‘A f***ing liar’ and ‘a bad guy’: Quotes from new Bob Woodward book show Biden’s growing frustration with Benjamin Netanyahu

CNN reports:

CNN reported on quotes U.S. President Joe Biden said to and about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that appeared in a new book by veteran journalist Bob Woodward. According to the book, Biden said of Netanyahu privately earlier in the year: “That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy. He’s a bad fucking guy!”

In another interaction, Biden asked Netnayhu: What’s your strategy, man?” in an April phone call. The Israeli prime minister answered, “We have to go into Rafah,” to which Biden responded, “Bibi, you’ve got no strategy.”

“I know he’s going to do something, but the way I limit it is tell him to ‘do nothing,'” Biden told his advisers, according to Woodward, but his frustration with Netanyahu boiled over as the war continued to escalate.

“He’s a fucking liar,” Biden said privately of Netanyahu, after Israel went into Rafah, Woodward writes. “Bibi, what the fuck?” Biden yelled at Netanyahu in July after an Israeli airstrike killed a top Hezbollah military commander and three civilians in Beirut, according to Woodward.

“You know the perception of Israel around the world increasingly is that you’re a rogue state, a rogue actor,” Biden said to Netanyahu, who responded that the target was “one of the leading terrorists.”

“We saw an opportunity and took it,” Netanyahu said. “The harder you hit, the more successful you’re going to be in the negotiation.”

Palestine Chronicle: One Year into Israel’s Genocide, Gaza Suffers Massive Environmental Damage

STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – OCTOBER 7, 2024:

Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 7, 2024: at least 42,708* ( 41,965 in Gaza* – 11,308 women (30%), 16,859 children as of September 5. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 743 in the West Bank (~160 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 25 from West Bank).
At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
Palestinian injuries from October 7 – October 7, 2024: at least 103,790 (including at least 97,590 in Gaza and 6,200 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 7, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is at least 2,083 (at least 127 children, 194 women) and 9,869 injuries (690 of them children). An estimated 1.2 million have been displaced.

NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.

*Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.

**Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.

***The figure does not include the reportedly 56 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

† For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.
