  • GMO Parasites and Disease
    Intro by AI:

    Dr. Robert Young, a senior scientific researcher, and Dr. Ariyana Love, a naturopathic practitioner, have collaborated to expose the shocking truth about GMO parasites and mRNA vectors in COVID-19 vaccines.


    Key Findings:

    GMO Parasites as mRNA Vectors: Dr. Young and Dr. Love have revealed that pharmaceutical companies, including Moderna, Pfizer, Novavax, Janssen (J&J), Oxford, and others, are using genetically modified parasites (GMO) as mRNA vectors to deliver artificial genetic sequences into the human genome through COVID-19 vaccines.

    Deadly Synthetic Biology: These GMO parasites are designed to transform the human genome, effectively turning humans into synthetic biology. This transhumanist agenda is being pushed through mandatory vaccinations, with governments committing democide by forcing citizens to receive these bioweapon shots.

    Lab Evidence: Dr. Young has provided lab photos demonstrating parasitic infestations in human cells, including images of Trypanosoma cruzi parasites and Toxoplasma gondii parasites. These parasites are found in COVID-19 vaccines and are capable of causing severe disease and even death.

    Patent Review: Dr. Young and Dr. Love have conducted a patent review, exposing the scientific evidence and documentation supporting the use of GMO parasites as mRNA vectors. This research reveals a deliberate and sinister plan to alter human biology and create a new, genetically modified species.


    Genetically tweaking human brains

    by Dr. Ariyana Love

    In May 2019, DARPA paid scientists to invent ways to instantly read soldiers’ minds by genetically engineering the human brain for “thought control weapons”.

    Mind control and neuroscience research was a top priority of President Obama, who funded the Brain Initiative.

    DARPA’s brain-computer interface does not require surgical implants and captures brain activity directly through the skull.

    In 2014, DARPA was testing atom-width graphene biosensors for mind control through the Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET) program.

    The RE-NET program enables external monitoring and external stimulation of neurons in a person’s brain using optical and electronic methods simultaneously, using nanotechnology (graphene biosensors) and infrared beams.


    RE-NET draws upon three cutting-edge research fields: graphene nanotechnology, super-resolved fluorescent microscopy, and optogenetics, which involves genetically modifying cells to create specific light-reactive proteins.

    DARPA can read and write on genetic codes in brain cells on 16 independent channels within a 16mm3 volume of neural tissue within 50ms. Graphene biochips and other devices provide governments with the ability to interface to multiple points in the brain at once.

    Ericsson was the first company to demonstrate optical beam using PowerLight’s laser technology to transmit hundreds of watts of power over hundreds of meters through the air to power an Ericsson 5G base station.

    Viral vectors

    Viral vectors are genetically modified carriers of mRNA and modRNa used to transfect the human genome.

    “Robinson's team used viruses modified to deliver genetic material into cells — called viral vectors — to insert DNA into specific neurons that will make them produce two kinds of proteins. [Flying Saucers to Mind Control: 22 Declassified Military & CIA Secrets]

    Viral vectors carry the Green Florescent Protein (Luciferase) and the Red Florescent Protein (Lentivirus), used for government tracking and tracing of target cells within the human body.

    Viral vectors are genetically attenuated parasites of the most deadly species which are found in SEQ ID NO: 1, owned by the Pirbright Institute (Bill & Melinda Gates). SEQ ID NO: 1 can be found in all Covid-19 vaccine patents.

    Worms like N. brasiliensis are used as viral vector carriers of the Red Florescent Protein which uses Lentivirus, a Gain-And-Loss-Of-Function bioweapon.

    Viral vectors such as genetically modified bacteria are also used to transfect the human genome. DARPA’s self-replication drug delivery system known as Alhydrogel contains E. coli and Anthrax. Alhydrogel is also graphene oxide and aluminum based, making it super-paramagnetic and responsive to external frequency commands. Pharmaceutical companies have marketed Alhydrogel as a “vaccine antigen” and governments have been using it in “vaccines” for the last 20 years. It is, in fact, the most widely used “ vaccine antigen”.

    Alhydrogel replicates a sheath around the entire body very rapidly, within 1-3 hours after inhalation and/or injection.

    Red Florescent Protein is also known as “mCherry” which has a mitochondrial targeting sequence. mCherry is non-fluorescence until photoactivated by a short exposure to violet light irradiation at a wavelength between 350 nm and 400 nm. The excitation/emission wavelengths of photoactivated mCherry are 564 nm and 595 nm.


    PLEASE READ: Covid-19 “Vaccine Antigen” Is Anthrax


    “The first type of protein absorbs light when a neuron is firing, which makes it possible to detect neural activity. An external headset would send out a beam of infrared light that can pass through the skull and into the brain. Detectors attached to the headset would then measure the tiny signal that is reflected from the brain tissue to create an image of the brain. Because of the protein, the targeted areas will appear darker (absorbing light) when neurons are firing, generating a read of brain activity that can be used to work out what the person is seeing, hearing or trying to do.

    The second protein tethers to magnetic nanoparticles, so the neurons can be magnetically stimulated to fire when the headset generates a magnetic field. This could be used to stimulate neurons so as to induce an image or sound in the patient's mind. As a proof of concept, the group plans to use the system to transmit images from' the visual cortex of one person to that of another.”

    Carbon nanomaterials, quantum dots, and nanoclusters made from graphene oxide and nano-fullerene C60 are used for implantable brain interfaces.

    The florescent changes in target cells are externally modulated by lasers and microwaves through 5G, which direct Nanodiamonds, a graphene oxide carbon-based crystal with a diamond-like structure inside the body. Nanodiamonds are able to “adsorb and integrate DNA”. Carbon nanotubes are used for drug and weapons delivery and to operate as artificial synapses in the brain.

    Carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) have the ability to traverse cell membranes and localize to specific cellular compartments when treated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) or fluorescent peptides.

    Transgenic Hydra’s and other parasites are used as a reporter system to track the neural activity of hybrid humans (vaccinated individuals) through external computer interfaces. Graphene oxide sheets are used to slice open the membrane of human cells.

    Conclusion

    Graphene oxide and deadly genetically modified microorganisms comprise the DARPA operating system in Covid-19 “vaccines”. Graphene oxide is an industrial poison which proves deadly for humans.

    After injection (vaccination), graphene oxide nanoparticles aerosolize, meaning the weapon system transmits to others by inhalation.

    Genetically modified, AI interface parasites used to control human behavior, will inevitably spread throughout a population after injection. The introduction of deadly parasites to society is detrimental and negatively impacts human behavior, influencing the central nervous system, leading to changes in personality traits like increased risk-taking, impulsivity, and even altered mood and brain function.

    Recommendations:

    Detox and Immune System Fortification: Dr. Love offers customised detox protocols to help individuals remove these GMO parasites and fortify their immune systems against this biological attack.

    Schedule a Consultation: Individuals can schedule a consultation with Dr. Love to learn more about how to protect themselves and their families.

  • Oxford Union believes Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide
    Cherwell News29th November 2024

    The Oxford Union voted for its controversial motion “This House Believes Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide” last night, with the society’s buildings surrounded by tight security and protesters rallying outside. The House saw 278 votes in favour and 59 votes against.

    Speaking in Proposition were Palestinian poet Mohammed El-Kurd, Union President Ebrahim Osman-Mowafy, Israeli-American activist Miko Peled, and Palestinian-American poet Susan Abulhawa. Speaking in Opposition were British broadcaster Jonathan Sacerdoti, British barrister Natasha Hausdorff, Arab-Israeli journalist Yousef Haddad, and spy Mosab Hassan Yousef. Yousef is the son of terrorist organisation Hamas’ founder who then defected to become a spy for Israeli intelligence. He has been criticised for his hatred of Islam.

    Outside the society’s buildings, around two dozen pro-Palestine protesters rallied on St Michael’s Street, their chants audible from the chamber. Oxford Action for Palestine, which called the protest, wrote that its purpose is to show “Zionists are not welcome in Oxford”. A protester told Cherwell that their reason is twofold: to show solidarity with Palestinian speakers, and to stand against the Union’s platforming of speakers.

    Speaking first in Proposition, El-Kurd said: “If this motion passes today, it means that this body is catching up to the moral clarity of the global majority. It is about time and about 70 years too late.” He called Zionism “irredeemable and indefensible”. Lastly, El-Kurd refers to Yousef’s work for the Israeli Defence Forces and said it “dishonours me to share a space with [Yousef]” before walking out of the chamber.

    Opening for the Opposition, Sacerdoti argued that the Proposition “intended to inflame not inform” and called the motion itself “an outrage”. In middle of his speech, a member of the audience began heckling “you sick motherf***er” and “genocidal maniac” before being escorted out of the chamber. Sacerdoti continued to argue that each Gazan is receiving more food than the world average.

    Osman-Mowafy spoke next for Proposition, framing the debate as one that “puts correct names on self evident truths”. He cited specific Gazan families, asking: “How many bullets do you need to kill one family? 335.” He also quoted Netanyahu saying “Gaza is a city of evil” and that “Gazans are animals”, whilst noting that 50% of Gazans are children. Some of the Opposition were chuckling, to which an audience member in the balcony asked: “What’s so funny?”

    Next up in Opposition Haddad told the crowd: ‘‘If you are booing, I’m sorry to say it, but you are terrorist supporters”. Haddad cited Jews, Christians, and Arabs playing football together in Israel, how as an Arab-Israeli himself he gave commands to and was saved by Jewish soldiers, and that an Arab man heads the largest bank in Israel – all evidence against an apartheid, he said. He ended by shouting: “You’re losing! You’re losing the Israeli-Arab war! You’re losing everything!” Due to a lack of decorum, he was asked to leave by the Chair during members’ speeches, at which point he put on a T-shirt that read “your terrorist is dead” with a crossed-out face.

    Then in Proposition Peled argued that “What happened on October 7th was not terrorism – these were acts of heroism of a people who were oppressed.” After Sacerdoti said the speaker was glorifying terrorism, Peled said: “Arrest me”. He then argued for the establishment of a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea”.

    Yousef opened by referring to his work stopping Hamas suicide bombers despite being the son of the terrorist organisation’s founder. He then turned to incendiary comments including “Palestinians are the most pathetic people on planet Earth”, which incited many Points of Orders over whether he should be removed from the chamber. In response Yousef said: “this House has been hijacked by Muslims.” He called Palestinians “a false identity” and said that “we [Arabs] will exist long after the Palestinian thugs who came to hijack our society”.

    Final Proposition speaker Abulhawa began with a story: “‘When I was in Gaza I saw a little boy whose arms and part of his face had been blown off by a booby-trapped can of food.” She characterised her opponents as “invoking Holocaust and screaming Antisemitism” and said: “I came to speak directly to Zionists: we let you into our homes when your own countries turned you away. You killed and robbed and burned and looted our lives, you carved out our hearts.”

    Near midnight, the last Opposition speaker Hausdorff took the stage. She said that Jewish students have been intimidated from attending the debate tonight and called it “a dark moment in the Oxford Union’s history”. In response to the alleged lack of historical and legal context tonight, she said “but I am here, so fear not, ladies and gentlemen” and goes on to argue indoctrination as the centre of this conflict. Hausdorff continued: “Genocide is a slur being alleged against the real victims of genocide in this case.”

  • ‘Text Me You Haven’t Died’ – My Sister was the 166th Doctor to Be Murdered in Gaza
    [email protected] December 3, 2024 atrocity story, Gaza health care system, israeli airstrike, Palestinian doctors
    Dr. Soma Baroud, a medical doctor and sister of the author, was killed by Israeli bombs in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on or about October 9, 2024. ((Photo: Supplied by Palestine Chronicle))


    Dr. Ramzy Baroud’s powerfully touching story of his older sister, Dr. Soma Baroud, a trailblazing physician whose life ended when Israel bombed the taxi she was in: “For us, Soma was a larger-than-life figure. This is precisely why her sudden absence has shocked us to the point of disbelief…” Israel has killed 986 medical workers, including 165 doctors, in the past year.

    by Dr. Ramzy Baroud, Reposted from The Palestine Chronicle

    “Your lives will continue. With new events and new faces. They are the faces of your children, who will fill your homes with noise and laughter.”

    These were the last words written by my sister in a text message to one of her daughters.

    Dr. Soma Baroud was murdered on October 9, 2024 when Israeli warplanes bombed a taxi that carried her and other tired Gazans somewhere near the Bani Suhaila roundabout near Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

    I am still unable to understand whether she was on her way to the hospital, where she worked, or leaving the hospital to go home. Does it even matter?

    The news of her murder – or, more accurately assassination, as Israel has deliberately targeted and killed 986 medical workers, including 165 doctors – arrived through a screenshot copied from a Facebook page.

    “Update: these are the names of the martyrs of the latest Israeli bombing of two taxis in the Khan Younis area ..,” the post read.

    It was followed by a list of names. “Soma Mohammed Mohammed Baroud” was the fifth name on the list, and the 42,010th on Gaza’s ever-growing list of martyrs.

    I refused to believe the news, even when more posts began popping up everywhere on social media, listing her as number five, and sometimes six in the list of martyrs of the Khan Yunis strike.

    I kept calling her, over and over again, hoping that the line would crackle a bit, followed by a brief silence, and then her kind, motherly voice would say, “Marhaba Abu Sammy. How are you, brother?” But she never picked up.

    I had told her repeatedly that she does not need to bother with elaborate text or audio messages due to the unreliable internet connection and electricity. “Every morning,” I said, “just type: ‘we are fine’.” That’s all I asked of her.

    But she would skip several days without writing, often due to the lack of an internet connection. Then, a message would arrive, though never brief. She wrote with a torrent of thoughts, linking up her daily struggle to survive, to her fears for her children, to poetry, to a Qur’anic verse, to one of her favorite novels, and so on.

    “You know, what you said last time reminds me of Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude,” she said on more than one occasion, before she would take the conversation into the most complex philosophical spins. I would listen, and just repeat, “Yes .. totally .. I agree .. one hundred percent.”

    For us, Soma was a larger-than-life figure. This is precisely why her sudden absence has shocked us to the point of disbelief. Her children, though grown up, felt orphaned. But her brothers, me included, felt the same way.

    I wrote about Soma as a central character in my book “My Father Was a Freedom Fighter”, because she was indeed central to our lives, and to our very survival in a Gaza refugee camp.

    The first born, and only daughter, she had to carry a much greater share of work and expectations than the rest of us.

    She was just a child, when my eldest brother Anwar, still a toddler, died in a UNRWA clinic at the Nuseirat refugee camp due to the lack of medicine. Then, she was introduced to pain, the kind of pain that with time turned into a permanent state of grief that would never abandon her until her murder by a US-supplied Israeli bomb in Khan Younis.

    Two years after the death of the first Anwar, another boy was born. They also called him Anwar, so that the legacy of the first boy may carry on. Soma cherished the newcomer, maintaining a special friendship with him for decades to come.

    My father began his life as a child laborer, then a fighter in the Palestine Liberation Army, then a police officer during the Egyptian administration of Gaza, then, once again a laborer; that’s because he refused to join the Israeli-funded Gaza police force after the war of 1967, known as the Naksa.

    A clever, principled man, and a self-taught intellectual, my Dad did everything he could to provide a measure of dignity for his small family; and Soma, a child, often barefoot, stood by him every step of the way.

    When he decided to become a merchant, as in buying discarded and odd items in Israel and repackaging them to sell in the refugee camp, Soma was his main helper. Though her skin healed, cuts on her fingers, due to individually wrapping thousands of razors, remained a testament to the difficult life she lived.

    “Soma’s little finger is worth more than a thousand men,” my father would often repeat, to remind us, ultimately five boys, that our sister will always be the main heroine in the family’s story. Now that she is a martyr, that legacy has been secured for eternity.

    Years later, my parents would send her to Aleppo to obtain a medical degree. She returned to Gaza, where she spent over three decades healing the pain of others, though never her own.

    She worked at Al-Shifa Hospital, at Nasser Hospital among other medical centers. Later, she obtained another certificate in family medicine, opening a clinic of her own. She did not charge the poor, and did all she could to heal those victimized by war.

    Soma was a member of a generation of female doctors in Gaza that truly changed the face of medicine, collectively putting great emphasis on the rights of women to medical care and expanding the understanding of family medicine to include psychological trauma with particular emphasis on the centrality, but also the vulnerability of women in a war-torn society.

    When my daughter Zarefah managed to visit her in Gaza shortly before the war, she told me that “when aunt Soma walked into the hospital, an entourage of women – doctors, nurses, and other medical staff – would surround her in total adoration.”

    At one point, it felt that all of Soma’s suffering was finally paying off: a nice family home in Khan Younis, with a small olive orchard, and a few palm trees; a loving husband, himself a professor of law, and eventually the dean of law school at a reputable Gaza university; three daughters and two sons, whose educational specialties ranged from dentistry to pharmacy, to law to engineering.

    Life, even under siege, at least for Soma and her family, seemed manageable. True, she was not allowed to leave the Strip for many years due to the blockade, and thus we were denied the chance to see her for years on end. True, she was tormented by loneliness and seclusion, thus her love affair and constant citation from García Márquez’s seminal novel. But at least her husband was not killed or went missing. Her beautiful house and clinic were still standing. And she was living and breathing, communicating her philosophical nuggets about life, death, memories and hope.

    “If I could only find the remains of Hamdi, so that we can give him a proper burial,” she wrote to me last January, when the news circulated that her husband was executed by an Israeli quadcopter in Khan Yunis.

    But since the body remained missing, she held on to some faint hope that he was still alive. Her boys, on the other hand, kept digging in the wreckage and debris of the area where Hamdi was shot, hoping to find him and to give him a proper burial. They would often be attacked by Israeli drones in the process of trying to unearth their father’s body. They would run away, and return with their shovels to carry on with the grim task.

    To maximize their chances of survival, my sister’s family decided to split up between displacement camps and other family homes in southern Gaza.

    This meant that Soma had to be in a constant state of moving, traveling, often long distances on foot, between towns, villages, and refugee camps, just to check on her children, following every incursion, and every massacre.

    “I am exhausted,” she kept telling me. “All I want from life is for this war to end, for new cozy pajamas, my favorite book, and a comfortable bed.”

    These simple and reasonable expectations looked like a mirage, especially when her home in the Qarara area, in Khan Younis, was demolished by the Israeli army last month.

    “My heart aches. Everything is gone. Three decades of life, of memories, of achievement, all turned into rubble,” she wrote.

    “This is not a story about stones and concrete. It is much bigger. It is a story that cannot be fully told, however long I wrote or spoke. Seven souls had lived here. We ate, drank, laughed, quarreled, and despite all the challenges of living in Gaza, we managed to carve out a happy life for our family,” she continued.

    A few days before she was killed, she told me that she had been sleeping in a half-destroyed building belonging to her neighbors in Qarara. She sent me a photo taken by her son, as she sat on a makeshift chair, on which she also slept amidst the ruins. She looked tired, so very tired.

    There was nothing I could say or do to convince her to leave. She insisted that she wanted to keep an eye on the rubble of what remained of her home. Her logic made no sense to me. I pleaded with her to leave. She ignored me, and instead kept sending me photos of what she had salvaged from the rubble, an old photo, a small olive tree, a birth certificate ..

    My last message to her, hours before she was killed, was a promise that when the war is over, I will do everything in my power to compensate her for all of this. That the whole family would meet in Egypt, or Türkiye, and that we will shower her with gifts, and boundless family love. I finished with, “let’s start planning now. Whatever you want. You just say it. Awaiting your instructions…” She never saw the message.

    Even when her name, as yet another casualty of the Israeli genocide in Gaza was mentioned in local Palestinian news, I refused to believe it. I continued to call. “Please pick up, Soma, please pick up,” I pleaded with her.

    Only when a video emerged of white body bags arriving at Nasser Hospital in the back of an ambulance, I thought maybe my sister was indeed gone.

    Some of the bags had the names of the others mentioned in the social media posts. Each bag was pulled out separately and placed on the ground. A group of mourners, bereaved men, women and children would rush to hug the body, screaming the same shouts of agony and despair that accompanied this ongoing genocide from the first day.

    Then, another bag, with the name ‘Soma Mohammed Mohammed Baroud’ written across the thick white plastic. Her colleagues carried her body and gently laid it on the ground. They were about to zip the bag open to verify her identity. I looked the other way.

    I refuse to see her but in the way that she wanted to be seen, a strong person, a manifestation of love, kindness and wisdom, whose “little finger is worth more than a thousand men.”

    But why do I continue to check my messages with the hope that she will text me to tell me that the whole thing was a major, cruel misunderstanding and that she is okay?

    My sister Soma was buried under a small mound of dirt, somewhere in Khan Yunis.

    No more messages from her.

    Gaza’s health ministry says Israeli strikes have killed 36 Palestinians and wounded 96 others in the latest 24-hour reporting period.

    At least 25 people were killed when Israeli warplanes hit and leveled an inhabited home in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, a local source said on Monday. Women and children were sheltering there.

    More than 3,700 people have been killed or reported missing during 60 days of Israeli military’s operations in northern Gaza, the enclave’s media office said Monday. 1,750 are reported detained.

    In Lebanon, in spite of a ceasefire, Israeli forces killed at least 11 on Monday.

    There are no ‘humanitarian zones’ or ‘evacuation orders’ in Gaza

    As you read this, many families in Gaza are weighing whether they should flee their current shelter and risk having to endure the harsh winter out on the streets or risk being bombed and killed where they are. There is no guarantee that they will be safe from Israel’s bombs and bullets if they choose either option.

    These are dilemmas no human should ever have to endure, yet recent research by Action For Humanity found that 98 percent of the 200,000 people in the “humanitarian zones” in central Gaza have had to wrestle with them. In fact, according to our findings, more than a quarter of these people have had to move 10 or more times in the past 13 months.

    The research, based on the testimonies of displaced Palestinians on the ground, revealed that Israel’s “evacuation orders” often give people just an hour, and sometimes even less, to pack up what remains of their lives and run for their lives. And when they agree to “evacuate”, they are often still chased by a hail of bullets as they try to find new shelter in another “humanitarian zone”.

    The devastating details in the report, titled Erasure by Design, make it clear that there are no real humanitarian zones in Gaza and that the “evacuation orders” Israel issues are not aimed at getting Palestinians out of harm’s way. The use of these terms by Israel, its allies and international media serve only to whitewash what is happening before our eyes in Gaza: land grabs under the threat of extermination.

    It is doing so to ensure nowhere in Gaza is safe for Palestinians. It is trying to kill two birds with one stone: creating the illusion of adherence to humanitarian law while laying the groundwork for illegally expanding Israeli territory.

    The reality on the ground is clear: There are no “humanitarian zones” or “evacuation orders” but only threats of extermination and islands of medieval suffering not fit for basic survival, let alone dignified living.




    Israeli army razes 600 buildings in Gaza to build dozens of military bases, expand Netzarim Corridor

    The Israeli army has been expanding its construction of military bases, outposts, and communication towers in the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, the New York Times (NYT) reported on 2 December.

    The military has demolished over 600 buildings around the corridor in the past three months “in an apparent attempt to create a buffer zone,” the report states.

    Satellite images reviewed by NYT showed the Israeli army has built at least 19 large bases throughout the area and dozens of small ones, suggesting plans for a long-term occupation.

    “While some were built earlier in the war, the imagery also shows that the pace of construction appears to be accelerating: 12 of the bases were either built or expanded since early September,” NYT writes.

    As a result of the construction, the corridor has slowly grown into a 46.6 square-kilometer military zone occupied by Israeli forces.

    Hamas says 33 Israeli captives killed in Gaza

    Hamas says 33 captives held by the group in Gaza have been killed since the start of Israel’s nearly 14-month-old war in the besieged enclave.

    The group issued a video statement on Monday saying the captives were killed “because of the stubbornness of the war criminal” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “his ongoing aggression”.

    Hamas made the announcement as key mediators, including Egypt, Qatar and the United States, launch another effort to reach a ceasefire that would see the release of Israeli captives.

    The push comes after a recent truce in Lebanon raised hope for a diplomatic breakthrough.

    Hamas’s video lists and dates the incidents in which the group said captives were killed. Most of them were air strikes. However, some were rescue attempts by the Israeli military gone wrong.

    Hamas offered to release all Israeli hostages in the early days of the war.

    The Israeli air force bombed a tent encampment in Al-Mawasi camp near south Gaza's Khan Younis, a so-called ‘safe zone,’ killing two children – Jawad and Sareen – on 1 December. The children's mother and a sibling were also injured in the attack, according to medics.

    B’Tselem: “Unleashed: Abuse of Palestinians by Israeli Soldiers in the Center of Hebron”

    In the West Bank, the view of all Palestinians as enemies who should be treated with unyielding force is translating into further oppression of the entire civilian population, by the various arms of the Israeli regime.

    A record number of Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in 2024, and the number of detentions and administrative detainees reached a historic high.

    Since the beginning of the war, many attacks on Palestinians by soldiers and settlers have been documented throughout the West Bank. The attacks were aimed at Palestinians suspected of no wrongdoing and often carried out in plain sight, in full view of officers and commanders.

    Soldiers are being urged to take more “proactive” and “offensive” actions, while the public is demanding – or, at least, accepting – revenge on all Palestinians for the crimes of Hamas.

    They see themselves as authorized to play the role of prosecutor, judge and executioner in any encounter with a Palestinian. In practice, every soldier has been granted virtually unlimited power to use violent means of oppression.

    They know they will not be held accountable for their conduct.

    B’Tselem’s field researchers gathered testimonies from Palestinians who were attacked by soldiers in the city center of Hebron between May and August 2024. Their accounts indicate a rise in the scope, type and severity of violence that soldiers are currently employing against Palestinians in the West Bank.

    Israel has demolished over 1,500 West Bank facilities in 2024, says UN

    Israeli forces have demolished 1,528 Palestinian-owned structures in the occupied West Bank since the start of the year, according to the latest figures published by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

    The UN data, published on 29 November, indicated that 3,637 Palestinians have been displaced as a result of an ongoing Israeli demolition campaign.

    The destroyed infrastructure included inhabited residences (700), agricultural infrastructure (398), and livelihood-related assets (205), such as shops and businesses.

    ‘Significant progress’ made by Hamas, Fatah on post-war Gaza govt: Report

    Hamas and the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) Fatah party have made “significant progress” towards forming a joint governing body to administer a post-war Gaza Strip during talks in the Egyptian capital Cairo, Al-Araby al-Jadeed reported on 2 December.

    The source said, “There is a general consensus among all on the need to seize the opportunity to resolve the differences and end the suffering of the Palestinian people.”

    In late July this year, Hamas, Fatah, and 12 other Palestinian factions signed a Chinese-brokered reconciliation agreement during meetings in Beijing.

    Washington has been pushing its own plans for post-war Gaza, which involves the installment of a “reformed” PA under the tutelage of an Arab-International mission.

    The Palestinian resistance factions have rejected western initiatives for post-war Gaza and maintain that the fate of their people must remain in their hands.

    Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to reject the PA and Fatah’s involvement in any post-war government in Gaza. The premier has advanced his own plans for the ‘day after’ the war, which involves indefinite Israeli security control over the strip.

    Israel strikes Lebanon again and again, but hopes ceasefire will hold

    Israel has a unique and unilateral interpretation of the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, whereby Israel has given itself the right to enforce that agreement with “fire”. So far, according to UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, Israel has broken the ceasefire at least 100 times.

    These were the words of the Israeli army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, “We will maintain the ceasefire with fire”, meaning that Israel can strike at Hezbollah on Lebanese territory and beyond.

    Israel views any infraction, any movement, any activity of Hezbollah as a violation that it has the right to respond to.

    US envoy Amos Hochstein has expressed frustration and fear that these Israeli attacks could threaten this fragile ceasefire.

    In the meantime, Israel continues striking but is still hoping that this ceasefire would hold.

    Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar told his French counterpart in a phone call that his country is, in fact, enforcing the ceasefire – which stipulates Hezbollah’s withdrawal from the Israel-Lebanon border area – rather than violating it, Sa’ar said on X Monday.

    On Monday alone, in spite of the ceasefire, Israeli forces killed at least 11 Lebanese.

    Over 500 digital rights violations against Palestinian content recorded in November: Report

    Sada Social, an organization dedicated to documenting digital rights violations against Palestinian content online, reported over 500 violations in November.

    The organization documented extensive digital suppression across multiple platforms in its monthly report.

    Meta platforms accounted for 57% of the violations, followed by TikTok at 23%, YouTube at 13% and X at 7%.

    Additionally, 30 WhatsApp accounts belonging to Palestinians were removed, including two news groups.

    These actions deepen “digital policies that suppress Palestinian voices and limit their reach to audiences,” the organization said.

    It also noted that a persistent “digital blackout” continued in northern Gaza, “severely hindering residents’ ability to communicate.”

    Digital policies regularly suppress Palestinian voices and limit their reach to audiences, according to Sada Social, an organization dedicated to documenting digital rights violations against Palestinian content online

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – DECEMBER 2, 2024:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – December 2, 2024: at least 45,303* ( 44,502 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. This does not include an estimated 10,000 more in Gaza still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children).

    In the West Bank, Israeli soldiers and/or settlers have killed at least 801 Palestinians (~167 of them children).

    In July 2024, the Lancet said: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death 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 60 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (at least 47 from Gaza).
    At least 43 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.
    About 345,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – December 2, 2024: at least 111,904 (including at least 105,454 in Gaza and 6,450 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 – December 2, 2024: ~1,584 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 406*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza (updated: Nov 29); 39 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 3,961, with 16,520 injuries.

    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.

At least 25 people were killed when Israeli warplanes hit and leveled an inhabited home in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, a local source said on Monday. Women and children were sheltering there. More than 3,700 people have been killed or reported missing during 60 days of Israeli military’s operations in northern Gaza, the enclave’s media office said Monday. 1,750 are reported detained. In Lebanon, in spite of a ceasefire, Israeli forces killed at least 11 on Monday. Palestinians try to extinguish the fire in a store after an Israeli attack on the Omar al-Mukhtar market in Gaza City on Monday, Dec. 2 Palestinians try to extinguish the fire in a store after an Israeli attack on the Omar al-Mukhtar market in Gaza City on Monday, Dec. 2 (Mahmoud İssa/Anadolu) There are no ‘humanitarian zones’ or ‘evacuation orders’ in Gaza As you read this, many families in Gaza are weighing whether they should flee their current shelter and risk having to endure the harsh winter out on the streets or risk being bombed and killed where they are. There is no guarantee that they will be safe from Israel’s bombs and bullets if they choose either option. These are dilemmas no human should ever have to endure, yet recent research by Action For Humanity found that 98 percent of the 200,000 people in the “humanitarian zones” in central Gaza have had to wrestle with them. In fact, according to our findings, more than a quarter of these people have had to move 10 or more times in the past 13 months. The research, based on the testimonies of displaced Palestinians on the ground, revealed that Israel’s “evacuation orders” often give people just an hour, and sometimes even less, to pack up what remains of their lives and run for their lives. And when they agree to “evacuate”, they are often still chased by a hail of bullets as they try to find new shelter in another “humanitarian zone”. The devastating details in the report, titled Erasure by Design, make it clear that there are no real humanitarian zones in Gaza and that the “evacuation orders” Israel issues are not aimed at getting Palestinians out of harm’s way. The use of these terms by Israel, its allies and international media serve only to whitewash what is happening before our eyes in Gaza: land grabs under the threat of extermination. It is doing so to ensure nowhere in Gaza is safe for Palestinians. It is trying to kill two birds with one stone: creating the illusion of adherence to humanitarian law while laying the groundwork for illegally expanding Israeli territory. The reality on the ground is clear: There are no “humanitarian zones” or “evacuation orders” but only threats of extermination and islands of medieval suffering not fit for basic survival, let alone dignified living. Israeli army razes 600 buildings in Gaza to build dozens of military bases, expand Netzarim Corridor The Israeli army has been expanding its construction of military bases, outposts, and communication towers in the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, the New York Times (NYT) reported on 2 December. The military has demolished over 600 buildings around the corridor in the past three months “in an apparent attempt to create a buffer zone,” the report states. Satellite images reviewed by NYT showed the Israeli army has built at least 19 large bases throughout the area and dozens of small ones, suggesting plans for a long-term occupation. “While some were built earlier in the war, the imagery also shows that the pace of construction appears to be accelerating: 12 of the bases were either built or expanded since early September,” NYT writes. As a result of the construction, the corridor has slowly grown into a 46.6 square-kilometer military zone occupied by Israeli forces.

The group issued a video statement on Monday saying the captives were killed “because of the stubbornness of the war criminal” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “his ongoing aggression”. Hamas made the announcement as key mediators, including Egypt, Qatar and the United States, launch another effort to reach a ceasefire that would see the release of Israeli captives. The push comes after a recent truce in Lebanon raised hope for a diplomatic breakthrough. Hamas’s video lists and dates the incidents in which the group said captives were killed. Most of them were air strikes. However, some were rescue attempts by the Israeli military gone wrong. Hamas offered to release all Israeli hostages in the early days of the war. The Israeli air force bombed a tent encampment in Al-Mawasi camp near south Gaza's Khan Younis, a so-called ‘safe zone,’ killing two children – Jawad and Sareen – on 1 December. The children's mother and a sibling were also injured in the attack, according to medics.

(Ahmad Salem/Bloomberg/Getty) B’Tselem: “Unleashed: Abuse of Palestinians by Israeli Soldiers in the Center of Hebron” In the West Bank, the view of all Palestinians as enemies who should be treated with unyielding force is translating into further oppression of the entire civilian population, by the various arms of the Israeli regime. A record number of Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in 2024, and the number of detentions and administrative detainees reached a historic high. Since the beginning of the war, many attacks on Palestinians by soldiers and settlers have been documented throughout the West Bank. The attacks were aimed at Palestinians suspected of no wrongdoing and often carried out in plain sight, in full view of officers and commanders. Soldiers are being urged to take more “proactive” and “offensive” actions, while the public is demanding – or, at least, accepting – revenge on all Palestinians for the crimes of Hamas. They see themselves as authorized to play the role of prosecutor, judge and executioner in any encounter with a Palestinian. In practice, every soldier has been granted virtually unlimited power to use violent means of oppression. They know they will not be held accountable for their conduct. B’Tselem’s field researchers gathered testimonies from Palestinians who were attacked by soldiers in the city center of Hebron between May and August 2024. Their accounts indicate a rise in the scope, type and severity of violence that soldiers are currently employing against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The UN data, published on 29 November, indicated that 3,637 Palestinians have been displaced as a result of an ongoing Israeli demolition campaign. The destroyed infrastructure included inhabited residences (700), agricultural infrastructure (398), and livelihood-related assets (205), such as shops and businesses.

(social media) ‘Significant progress’ made by Hamas, Fatah on post-war Gaza govt: Report Hamas and the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) Fatah party have made “significant progress” towards forming a joint governing body to administer a post-war Gaza Strip during talks in the Egyptian capital Cairo, Al-Araby al-Jadeed reported on 2 December. The source said, “There is a general consensus among all on the need to seize the opportunity to resolve the differences and end the suffering of the Palestinian people.” In late July this year, Hamas, Fatah, and 12 other Palestinian factions signed a Chinese-brokered reconciliation agreement during meetings in Beijing. Washington has been pushing its own plans for post-war Gaza, which involves the installment of a “reformed” PA under the tutelage of an Arab-International mission. The Palestinian resistance factions have rejected western initiatives for post-war Gaza and maintain that the fate of their people must remain in their hands. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to reject the PA and Fatah’s involvement in any post-war government in Gaza. The premier has advanced his own plans for the ‘day after’ the war, which involves indefinite Israeli security control over the strip. Israel strikes Lebanon again and again, but hopes ceasefire will hold Israel has a unique and unilateral interpretation of the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, whereby Israel has given itself the right to enforce that agreement with “fire”. So far, according to UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, Israel has broken the ceasefire at least 100 times. These were the words of the Israeli army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, “We will maintain the ceasefire with fire”, meaning that Israel can strike at Hezbollah on Lebanese territory and beyond. Israel views any infraction, any movement, any activity of Hezbollah as a violation that it has the right to respond to. US envoy Amos Hochstein has expressed frustration and fear that these Israeli attacks could threaten this fragile ceasefire. In the meantime, Israel continues striking but is still hoping that this ceasefire would hold. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar told his French counterpart in a phone call that his country is, in fact, enforcing the ceasefire – which stipulates Hezbollah’s withdrawal from the Israel-Lebanon border area – rather than violating it, Sa’ar said on X Monday. On Monday alone, in spite of the ceasefire, Israeli forces killed at least 11 Lebanese.

    For a while since the beginning of Ukraine war it seemed that the current President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was a third party and independent between the two parties at war with respect to this conflict.

    It seemed in facts that Turkey could be an ideal candidate as a place for a possible Ukraine war peace negotiations.

    Then with the supply of Turkish drones to Ukraine, from Baykar, a company owned by the family of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s younger son-in-law, Selcuk Bayraktar, has been supplying Bayraktar TB2 drones to Ukraine since 2018, this position seemed to have faded.

    Going back in time to the attempted Coup plotted against Erdogan in 2016 the President had taken very clear and hard positions against the United States, which, in light of this, are presumed to have been the instigator of this attempted Coup.

    We must give credit to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that his attitude at the time of the Coup, his attitude against the United States, being also Turkey a member of NATO was very courageous.

    Much more courageous than that used to belong to all the other European Statesmen since the foundation of the Atlantic Pact which had been always seemed rather submissive to it…

    As recently quoted also by Michael Shrimpton

    Only except that of French President Charles de Gaulle who in 1966 withdrew France from NATO’s integrated military command structure.

    Who, coincidentally, perhaps precisely because of this withdrawal, escaped various attacks thanks to the extraordinary efficiency of his security services, of which I recall the double one at the Petit-Clamart.

    But what about the latest contemporary developments in Erdogan’s policy?

    Yuliana Dlugaj @DlugajJuly - Twitter Profile | Sotwe

    The journalist Yuliana Dlugaj offers us a particularly acute interpretation of this policy which seems to me to be absolutely valid.

    According to her:

    ”Erdogan’s foreign policy began as a bold, rebellious, neo-Ottoman vision—an ambitious attempt to restore Turkey’s influence over former Ottoman territories.

    However, this vision was eventually co-opted to serve Western interests in the region.

    What proved intolerable to the West, however, was Erdogan’s growing hostility toward Israel, exemplified by incidents like the Mavi Marmara crisis.

    The turning point came in 2016. On a fateful night, Erdogan found himself on the brink of elimination during the Coup attempt.

    US rejects Turkish minister's claim it was behind 2016 coup attempt | Middle East Eye

    Forced to plead with his people over FaceTime—appearing like a character pulled from a bad parody—he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by commandos at his resort in Marmaris.

    That night, the old Erdogan died.

    The message from the West was clear: opposition to Israel’s agenda was unacceptable.

    Erdogan capitulated almost immediately.

    Since then, his resistance has been reduced to little more than hollow rhetoric.

    His behavior over the past 13 months underscores this transformation.

    Despite fiery speeches, Turkey continued to supply oil to Israel without interruption, and Erdogan has worked to undermine Assad—one of Israel’s staunchest adversaries in the region.

    Critics are right to point out that the United States and Israel benefit most from these developments.

    Yet, their success would have been far harder to achieve without Turkey’s willing participation.

    Turkey has become a hub for militant state-sponsored Islamism, with its influence stretching from Syria through Central Asia to China’s Xinjiang region.

    It is Turkey that targets so-called “Turkish brother nations” with a toxic blend of radical Islamism, revisionist history, pan-Turkism, and victimhood propaganda.

    This strategy not only extends Turkey’s influence but also radicalizes individuals, turning them into tools for Western geopolitical objectives.

    The infamous Crocus terrorist attack in Moscow, for instance, was traced back to Turkish training camps.

    Crocus City Hall attack - Wikipedia

    Meanwhile, the jihadis left festering in Idlib have been unleashed once more, spreading chaos across Syria as they did a decade ago.

    This chaos is not incidental—it is cultivated, supported, and funded by the Turkish state.

    Under Erdogan, Turkey has become the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, a willing accomplice in advancing the U.S. Empire’s objectives in the region.

    The rest of Erdogan’s posture is mere theater—smoke and mirrors designed to deceive only those still willing to believe in a dream that has long since died.

    From Moscow to Beijing, it’s time to face this reality.”

Donate today to make sure VT stays on the internet free and clear of Big Tech control! Donate today: Please Donate - Click Here For a while since the beginning of Ukraine war it seemed that the current President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was a third party and independent between the two parties at war with respect to this conflict. It seemed in facts that Turkey could be an ideal candidate as a place for a possible Ukraine war peace negotiations. Then with the supply of Turkish drones to Ukraine, from Baykar, a company owned by the family of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s younger son-in-law, Selcuk Bayraktar, has been supplying Bayraktar TB2 drones to Ukraine since 2018, this position seemed to have faded. Going back in time to the attempted Coup plotted against Erdogan in 2016 the President had taken very clear and hard positions against the United States, which, in light of this, are presumed to have been the instigator of this attempted Coup. We must give credit to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that his attitude at the time of the Coup, his attitude against the United States, being also Turkey a member of NATO was very courageous. Much more courageous than that used to belong to all the other European Statesmen since the foundation of the Atlantic Pact which had been always seemed rather submissive to it… The Day of the Jackal: Amazon.it: Edward Fox, Terence Alexander, Michel Auclair, Fred Zinnemann, Edward Fox, Terence Alexander: Film e TV As recently quoted also by Michael Shrimpton Only except that of French President Charles de Gaulle who in 1966 withdrew France from NATO’s integrated military command structure. Who, coincidentally, perhaps precisely because of this withdrawal, escaped various attacks thanks to the extraordinary efficiency of his security services, of which I recall the double one at the Petit-Clamart. Invisible Paris: Tracking Charles de Gaulle in Petit Clamart But what about the latest contemporary developments in Erdogan’s policy? Yuliana Dlugaj 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷🇰🇵 @DlugajJuly - Twitter Profile | Sotwe The journalist Yuliana Dlugaj offers us a particularly acute interpretation of this policy which seems to me to be absolutely valid. According to her: ”Erdogan’s foreign policy began as a bold, rebellious, neo-Ottoman vision—an ambitious attempt to restore Turkey’s influence over former Ottoman territories. However, this vision was eventually co-opted to serve Western interests in the region. What proved intolerable to the West, however, was Erdogan’s growing hostility toward Israel, exemplified by incidents like the Mavi Marmara crisis. The turning point came in 2016. On a fateful night, Erdogan found himself on the brink of elimination during the Coup attempt. US rejects Turkish minister's claim it was behind 2016 coup attempt | Middle East Eye Forced to plead with his people over FaceTime—appearing like a character pulled from a bad parody—he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by commandos at his resort in Marmaris. That night, the old Erdogan died. The message from the West was clear: opposition to Israel’s agenda was unacceptable. Erdogan capitulated almost immediately. Since then, his resistance has been reduced to little more than hollow rhetoric. His behavior over the past 13 months underscores this transformation. Despite fiery speeches, Turkey continued to supply oil to Israel without interruption, and Erdogan has worked to undermine Assad—one of Israel’s staunchest adversaries in the region. Critics are right to point out that the United States and Israel benefit most from these developments. Yet, their success would have been far harder to achieve without Turkey’s willing participation. Turkey has become a hub for militant state-sponsored Islamism, with its influence stretching from Syria through Central Asia to China’s Xinjiang region. It is Turkey that targets so-called “Turkish brother nations” with a toxic blend of radical Islamism, revisionist history, pan-Turkism, and victimhood propaganda. This strategy not only extends Turkey’s influence but also radicalizes individuals, turning them into tools for Western geopolitical objectives. The infamous Crocus terrorist attack in Moscow, for instance, was traced back to Turkish training camps. Crocus City Hall attack - Wikipedia Meanwhile, the jihadis left festering in Idlib have been unleashed once more, spreading chaos across Syria as they did a decade ago. This chaos is not incidental—it is cultivated, supported, and funded by the Turkish state. Under Erdogan, Turkey has become the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, a willing accomplice in advancing the U.S. Empire’s objectives in the region. The rest of Erdogan’s posture is mere theater—smoke and mirrors designed to deceive only those still willing to believe in a dream that has long since died. From Moscow to Beijing, it’s time to face this reality.” Claudio Resta was born in Genoa, Italy in 1958, he is a citizen of the world (Spinoza), a maverick philosopher, and an interdisciplinary expert, oh, and an artist, too. Grew up in a family of scientists where many sciences were represented by philosophy to psychoanalysis, from economics to history, from mathematics to physics, and where these sciences were subject to public display by their subject experts family members, and all those who they were part of could participate in a public family dialogue/debate on these subjects if they so wished.

    Soon after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued its arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the EU’s foreign policy chief issued a reminder.

    “These decisions are binding on all states party to the Rome Statute, which includes all EU member states,” Josep Borrell posted on X.

    The Israeli prime minister and former defence minister are accused of “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts”.

    All 124 members of the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC, are now compelled to arrest the two Israelis and hand them over to the court.

    It is likely that both leaders will restrict their travel so as not to be detained – something Russia‘s Vladmir Putin has done since being indicted by the ICC in March last year.

    Some member states have previously flouted their obligation: both South Africa and Jordan failed to arrest Omar Hassan al-Bashir when the Sudanese autocrat visited them, drawing the ire of human rights groups and the ICC.

    Many of the states that will be compelled to hand over Netanyahu and Gallant are allies of Israel, including the UK, France, Germany and Hungary.

    The ICC does not have enforcement powers, instead relying on the cooperation of member states to arrest and surrender suspects.

    France and the Netherlands have both already indicated that they would act on the warrants if needed.

    The Syrian Army is pressing ahead with its operations to confront and expel foreign-backed terrorists from the country’s north and northwestern provinces. Reports on the ground say that the Syrian military backed by the Russian Air Force struck the terror groups in villages of Hazarin and Al-Raqeya in the southern countryside of the province of Idlib. Airstrikes also targeted positions of Al-Nusra Front Terror Group around Khan Sheikhoun south of Idlib and Morek in the northern countryside of Hama. The Syrian military says it has reinforced its defense lines with various means of fire, personnel and equipment in areas where clashes are underway with the terrorists. The army also says it’s managed to secure a number of areas including Ma’ardis. According to the Syrian media, nearly terrorists have been killed in three days of fighting. Clashes between the army and the terrorists erupted after attack theory groups, including al-Nusra Front, launched a surprise attack on northern and northwestern parts of Syria on Wednesday.

    And reactions and condemnations continue pouring in over the resurgence of foreign-backed terrorism in Syria. The Arab League has issued a statement stressing the need to respect the sovereignty and preserve the territorial integrity of Syria. League Secretary General Ahmed Abu Ghait expressed concerns over the continuous developments that Syria is witnessing and their impacts on civilians. In a phone call, the UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said the country stands with Syria and supports it in combating terrorism and unifying its territory. The Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudanian and Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein expressed their country’s support, saying that Syria’s security and stability are linked to Iraq’s national security. In a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yivan Gil expressed country solidarity with the Syrian people and government, calling on the international community to condemn terrorist attacks in Syria.

    And now joining us at Saidiya, Morocco, is Dr. Kevin Barrett, editor at Veterans Today. Pleasure to have you on, Dr. Barrett. I hope you’re safe and doing well. What are we to make sure of this resurgence of terrorism in Syria, their objectives and their backers?

    Well, the first question is, why now? The timing is crucial to understanding what’s going on. And it’s obviously not a coincidence that this happened at exactly the same moment that the genocidal Zionist occupation entity is changing its focus from its unsuccessful war on Lebanon, in which it was forced to accept essentially a defeat, to a war on Syria. It’s now trying to take out the Lebanese people’s ability to defend themselves, which they did so successfully, by going into Syria and attacking Syria and trying to cut off any means that supporters of Lebanese independence will be able to use to help ensure that Hezbollah and the patriotic forces in Lebanon will be able to continue to defend themselves successfully in the future.

    So the Zionist entity attacked Syria. And at the same moment, these takfiri terrorists who are armed and supported by the Zionist entity’s backers in Washington, D.C., also attacked Syria. Clearly, this is a coordinated operation. It’s not only a response to the Zionists’ loss in their war on Lebanon, but it’s also an attempt to bring back the divide and conquer strategy to try to do something about the success that Chinese-backed and to some extent Russian-backed diplomacy has had in uniting the region against the Zionists. The leadership of the Gulf Arab regimes, which had been very pro-Zionist in the past, has awakened to the futility of accepting the Zionists as a permanent entity. They’ve seen this genocide. They know their people will never stand for that. And so they have gone along with these Chinese backed efforts to bring together the whole region in a kind of a peaceful settlement and solution to some of the smaller differences, which will allow the region to settle the big problem, which is this genocidal Zionist occupation of Palestine.

    And so the forces that don’t like that and that want to break the region apart and to turn the different countries against each other are panicking. That’s why they’re now trying to ramp up this war on Syria.

    But it’s not working. As we’ve seen, the leadership in all regional countries is standing strong. And let’s hope that Turkey wakes up and that the Turkish leadership realizes that this divide-and-conquer Oded Yinon strategy is aimed at them as well, and that Kurdish separatist extremists are going to be armed and turned against them in the same way that the Takfiri terrorists are being armed and turned against Syria.

    And it’s ironic you say that because we often hear so many regional countries, Dr. Barrett, always allude to that exact thing, that the Zionist entities’ actions in West Asia do nothing but perpetrate more destabilization, insecurity, and instability for everyone in the region.

    That’s right. That’s what it’s there to do. You know, there are conspiracy theories that might be true, like so many conspiracy theories, that in fact, the reason or one of the reasons that the West supports this seemingly completely counterproductive and out-of-control genocidal Zionist entity is precisely to create so many problems in the region that it will never be successful. That is, to prevent the region from finding ways to unite and to trade productively, to get more and more political and economic unity and to become a major player in the world.

    And so the forces that don’t want West Asia to succeed have conspired to implant this inherently genocidal Zionist entity right there in the heart of the region, in the Holy Land. It’s holy to the majority of the world’s population. It is holy to four billion Christians and Muslims, along with a few million Jews, a fraction of 1% of the Abrahamic monotheists, who all look to that Holy Land as kind of the heart of their culture and their heritage.

    And so by essentially destroying it and creating this Antichrist project in the Holy Land, they are sticking a dagger into the heart of West Asia. And the purpose of that is to try to ensure perpetual chaos and failure in West Asia. But the West Asian governments are starting to wake up to this, and I don’t think they’re going to continue to fall for this Oded-Yanon divide and conquer project for very long.

    And before we let you go really quick, the West’s ultimate objective when it comes to Syria—do you feel they’re still after regime change? And why, when the U.S. is already occupying parts of Syria and looting its natural resources, what is there left for the West in Syria?

    I don’t think the West believes that it’s going to succeed in imposing regime change on Syria. But I think that the so-called West, which is largely occupied by the Zionists— there’s an ideological consensus among perhaps almost half of the Zionist billionaires who control the West, people who are fanatically loyal to this bizarre Zionist occupation project—I don’t think that the West, the people who think about the strategic interest of the West (as opposed to fanatical Zionists) really believe that there is any realistic chance that they’re going to get that regime change in Syria that they thought they could get fifteen years ago.

    Instead, I think that they see this as a strategic move to try to cut off Syria from Lebanon, to increase the pressure on the resistance front, to increase pressure on Russia as Russia is on the brink of victory in Ukraine. Russia has also been a backer of the stability of the region and of the Syrian government.

    So I think they’re trying to increase pressure on their adversaries. And as I said earlier, they’re coordinating this move with the Zionist attack on Syria as the Zionists turn from Lebanon to Syria while they continue their genocide of Gaza.

That is, to prevent the region from finding ways to unite and to trade productively, to get more and more political and economic unity and to become a major player in the world. And so the forces that don’t want West Asia to succeed have conspired to implant this inherently genocidal Zionist entity right there in the heart of the region, in the Holy Land. It’s holy to the majority of the world’s population. It is holy to four billion Christians and Muslims, along with a few million Jews, a fraction of 1% of the Abrahamic monotheists, who all look to that Holy Land as kind of the heart of their culture and their heritage. And so by essentially destroying it and creating this Antichrist project in the Holy Land, they are sticking a dagger into the heart of West Asia. And the purpose of that is to try to ensure perpetual chaos and failure in West Asia. But the West Asian governments are starting to wake up to this, and I don’t think they’re going to continue to fall for this Oded-Yanon divide and conquer project for very long. And before we let you go really quick, the West’s ultimate objective when it comes to Syria—do you feel they’re still after regime change? And why, when the U.S. is already occupying parts of Syria and looting its natural resources, what is there left for the West in Syria? I don’t think the West believes that it’s going to succeed in imposing regime change on Syria. But I think that the so-called West, which is largely occupied by the Zionists— there’s an ideological consensus among perhaps almost half of the Zionist billionaires who control the West, people who are fanatically loyal to this bizarre Zionist occupation project—I don’t think that the West, the people who think about the strategic interest of the West (as opposed to fanatical Zionists) really believe that there is any realistic chance that they’re going to get that regime change in Syria that they thought they could get fifteen years ago. Instead, I think that they see this as a strategic move to try to cut off Syria from Lebanon, to increase the pressure on the resistance front, to increase pressure on Russia as Russia is on the brink of victory in Ukraine. Russia has also been a backer of the stability of the region and of the Syrian government. So I think they’re trying to increase pressure on their adversaries. And as I said earlier, they’re coordinating this move with the Zionist attack on Syria as the Zionists turn from Lebanon to Syria while they continue their genocide of Gaza.

    So the Zionist entity attacked Syria. And at the same moment, these takfiri terrorists who are armed and supported by the Zionist entity's backers in Washington, D.C., also attacked Syria.
