Reporter’s Note 45: Extreme Attack on Private Parts with Kundy-Hit Weapons–Bladder Weapons–Non Lethal? No: Both these Ghastly Weapons & the Fusion Center Contractors Who Wield Them Need to be STOPPED Private Logs, Reporter’s Note | Ramola D | November 17, 2024, 6:55 pm [Private Logs in Hushmail, the first sent to self, the second in draft. Being published In Extremity since these attacks are DEATH HITS, on a WOMAN’s Private Parts. This could happen to ANYONE. Many women have reported such to me. Someone has to publish this so our children–our girls, our young women–are not VIOLATED like this. The entire CITY OF QUINCY is filled with CRIMINALS. Mass Fusion Centers are CRIMINAL. Boston FBI Which first targeted me unlawfully and sold my body as if it belonged to them are CRIMINAL. Local DARPA-CIA-MIT-HARVARD-Military Contractor Academics running BRAIN PROJECTS on me without my consent–which they need to stop immediately–are CRIMINALS. Each one of them needs to be routed out and thrown out of their (nasty criminal) jobs. Quincy Police which has FACILITATED and PERMITTED and employs people to commit these crimes are CRIMINALS. Each one of these bodies–POLICE/FBI DRONES were here, over my bed; HELICOPTERS over my bed and yard, Light Blue and White planes each time I step into my yard–acts as if I am the Criminal when they are running a SICK, CRIMINAL operation on women’s bodies: I am PRAYING for their EXTINCTION.]–6:55 pm, 11/17/2024 November 15 2024–mORNING ATTack on private parts by Mazzeos and LiMings On 11/15/2024 at 7:05 AM, “Ramola D” <[email protected]> wrote: 6:26 am: It is 6:26 am. For the last two hours that I can recall–since I was awoken by this crime–I have been excruciatingly and painfully penetration hit by extremely high frequency in my vagina, urethra, cervix, vulva, causing an extremely urgent desire to urinate and sending high heat through all the stone and rubber of my shielding in my underwear to pulsate at high frequency at my skin. Using baking sheets, pieces of rounded marble, copper, pie pans, I used my hands to adjust this new shielding and catch a few extra minutes of sleep. I pulled sheet metal shielding over my head, already pushed away from the continuous wave high frequency sent in by the Mazzeo side to torment my left arm and heart. Loud LRADS sounded immediately on the shielding from both sides. I spent a few tortured minutes adjusting shielding at my cervix and vagina and urethra and above at my head and heart. Meanwhile shock squeezes started at my spine–the Mazzeos have been doing this to me for the past 7-10 days I would say, microshocks by focusing on specific areas of my spine where I suspect nano quantum dots have been implanted but in this way able to shock my entire body and cause jerks but also I suspect internal organ shocks–the whole spine squeeze-shocked, at different intensities and frequencies but much much smaller than the heavier macroshocks which cause instant motor release and legs and arms to go awry. I tried to breathe. I tried to meditate. I used my hands. For brief moments as I found and used stones against my vulva and vagina, brief relief was felt. Then the waves of continuous high frequency again. Listening I felt there was a carrier of lower frequency as well. Two days ago I witnessed about 4 long boxes being offloaded from a UPS truck by a small slight dark bearded man, not unlike the many small slight bearded men who go in and out of this house next door, each pretending to be the one before (and failing) lugging their differently colored golf clubs in. These men are Mafia, CIA and killer assassins. For the past TWO days and THREE nights they have fixated on my vagina and bladder. All of yesterday I huddled on the couch downstairs, continuously shielding, sitting on layers of bakeware over stone using stone at my vagina, using all sorts of small pans and covers as cars zoomed up and down outside and low ELFs continuously attacked the couch as if to get into my body through my vagina over and over. I was also subject to heart hits and face hits as I recorded yesterday. Not yesterday but the night before on November 13, 2024, the Mazzeos issued a sharp crack and BROKE my fine mist humidifier which I had momentarily moved in order to fill. I had moved the shielding behind it, I filled it and then immediately sound of falling water. I realized it had started to leak. It leaked the whole half gallon I had poured in. I cleaned the floor, hung out wet towels for my moisture that night and slept. The temperature has plunged the last couple days and I have picked up sheets of ice from the bird bath and bird water. The first slab I picked up maybe 2 days ago in the morning was filled with the gorgeous pattern of the ferns the Mazzeos have burned to death by the blue Spiraea tree on the other side. That house is ours. The Mazzeos have not paid their fine nor responded with a lawyer letter or letter from an attorney in fact. The Notice will be published today. They have tortured the owner of this house. They have sought to kill her at least 25 times. Including yesterday and last night. I will not let them get away with it. I am going to say my prayers now and each one of them–a DEVIL–is going to be bound down for eternity and NEVER have agency in their lives. These dirtbags have bought now several ELF wave guides and are using them to send stationary waves into this room and into my vagina. Then continuous wave RF HPM on my left arm shoulder heart bladder. LiMings chime in with BREAST hits and RIGHT ARM AND SHOULDER hits as they did last night as well. As I lay in my bed nearly dying from the mega waves on the left my right arm and shoulder were also dully throbbing. These two terrorists are seeking to fully disable me on both sides. Oh yes my right knee was also being hit I don’t know from which side. I crouched over giving Reiki to my right knee. All this as I lay in bed just an hour ago. At 5:34 am I put on the phone nearby–found after long hours of searching yesterday–and listened to a lecture on Parashakti–I could tell that man a thing or two about Parashakthi–he has it wrong. Durga is a lie and a contamination and the same bastards doing this to me did it to her to Amman the rain goddess, they contaminated her and stuck skulls and bleeding tongues on her–blame the victim continuously is what I learned from reading those “criminal justice/sociology” papers last night and ruminating on the phenom of police officers pretending to be mental health by removing their uniforms and little else. I am going to EXPOSE the bastards. Little red bearded men sitting next door and attacking my vagina and bladder for 3 days straight–no wonder I CANT DO ANYTHING! I could not move yesterday–and the day before was just as bad. I was forced to sit for long periods, unable to rake and bag as I would have liked. Yesterday was cold and windy though–or wait that was the day earlier the big wind day . Yesterday was cold and partially sunny and I managed to rake some leaves to the curb in the morning. I could not bag as I would have preferred because Home Depot could not deliver immediately but took a week. Did the Mazzeos orchestrate that I wonder? Or Fat ass opposite? They interfere with everything. Sit on my pc and stop me from ordering, from getting my orders. My Zelda books–where are they? Did they grab them? Twice before I ordered Zelda–disappeared. Susan Orlean’s Orchid Thief too–twice ordered twice disappeared. So they think they can sit here with wave guides and everyday attack my vagina and urethra so I cannot walk, cannot work, cannot stand, cannot sit? I think that is EXTREME TORTURE and if we had a decent court in this land they WOULD HANG. Men attacking women’s private parts in such CREATIVE WAYS–those weapons have been developed by men but certain terror women have had a part. MAY THEY ALL DIE INSTANTLY AFTER CONTINUOUS SUFFERING AT THEIR PRIVATE PARTS. They certainly have the means to inflict such death on anyone, on any woman, any child, any man. Imagine all the women whose bodies they are so violating in this town and every town, night after night. I am being hit as I speak and sitting on shielding. My left arm aches and I need to give that arm some Tiger Balm and Reiki. My breathing has been compromised, there is no more fine mist humidifier here. I pray that someone will REMOVE these assassins and put them in jail. Both sides. LiMIng woman blasted my left breast when it was partially exposed. I had to rush to shield that part as well. Then the LRADS on top and insistent hits at my chest. Luckily I had brought more bakeware to the bed than usual. This is my life is it? My life is to be spent cowering and crouching and clutching my various body parts while they get to blast each part one by one–clearly this is a CANNED HUNT–a LIVING WOMAN HUNTED IN HER BED AT NIGHT BY TERRORIST MEN AND TERRORIST WOMEN AND BEHIND THE TERRORIST POLICE. This is obviously not “Surveillance” nor is it “monitoring” nor is it “healthcare” or “Public Safety” nor is it LEGAL. IT is ILLEGAL INVASIVE INTRUSIVE VIOLATIVE RAPING MOLESTING CRIME. I need to write that list of torts from each of these miserable sinners who apparently worship gargoyles and demons and double-humped dragons. 6:53 am. ********************************************************************** Ramola D Investigative Sci-Tech Journalist | Writer | Poet | Educator | Illuminator Publisher & Editor, The Everyday Concerned Citizen, Delphi Quarterly Reporter, Ramola D Reports on Bitchute, Brighteon, Lbry, Odysee, Rumble Author: For the Sake of the Boy, Temporary Lives, Invisible Season Facebook: Ramola DharmarajTelegram: Ramola D, RamolaDReportsNew Thought makes the word come into power.–Edmond Jabes &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& November 15, 16, 17 2024 9:21 am: I managed to make it up here with coffee despite being hit at the heart and at the kundy several times at the sink. I had to run upstairs several times to reshield my vagina area–Soft hits on the stones there nonstop. AT the sink the LiMIngs were hitting those stones over and over, sending flashes of high heat microwave energy into my vagina and urinary tract. That’s not just distinctly uncomfortable at that point, at that spot, but is sending extreme heat into the UT for a UTI. A little earlier when I went to the bathroom and removed the several large and small rounded, pebby stones of different mineral composition from my underwear–some from Squantum Beach some from the FIre Station Beach, some from Newport Rhode Island park beach–they wee all BLAZING HOT. The high frequency constantly sent to my private parts by the Mazzeos and LiMIngs both–and who knows who else, I heard cars zooming earlier and also recently now at the sink making coffee and feeding the birds and washing a few dishes–and they were blazing hot. This happens frequently when they fixate on my underwear. These past 3 days I have been continuously running to the bathroom to wash stones, get tissue soaked with water to use at that spot and cold stones again on top of pads. This is the only thing that helps. Water and stone. Some rubber and tin (jarlids put inside each other) and folded Reflectix between the legs. For they hit through the thigh and from under the thigh. They clearly have me on Millimeter Wave radar to be able to see me at that level and stalk me form room to room at that level whereby they can point their terror pencils of high power microwave at my vagina, through my underwear, through and past my legs and thighs, in order to hit. This is clearly something they have done to many women to finetune to this point of exactness and precision. There have been many women who have told me they have been or were being hit in this way. One was a Navy whistleblower who eventually declined to do an interview in print. But she was hit constantly in the bladder to the point she could not go out she said. There was a Pentagon Action Officer who gave me her story and spent ages speaking with me; her story did not get published at the time because i suspect the CIA moved in on her email id and started to send me lies suggesting I do not publish. I think her story needs to be known though. If she reads this she should email me or leave a comment on my website. She told me she was called a pros–as I was too, as many have been–and attacked badly every day and night by the terrorists who had parked themselves next to her. That IS how they do it. They park the criminals with weapons right next to you. Indications–in colors and continuing assault–these two and the Blondie clan have given me is that in addition to their base job–a fusion center contract with state police to use military weapons on people saying they are testing it, or a secret job with local police running a secret operation of community police monitoring calling it Public Safety as I suspect the Blondie clan is doing, given their QDC and QPD connections, or a University (MIT-Tufts-Harvard et al) contract with US Military & CIA to run Brain Experimentation ops, or a Model Equipment testing cntract from a foreign country saying they are doing normal testing operations which include Psy Ops–sociological experimentation, to divine racial bias for instance, or a Controlled Equipment demo or testing op from police and Public Safety and Homeland Security, or Project Minerva sociology and psychology “experiments” on people…. Chest hits ongoing to give me congestion at chest–Wait, did Giordano and Duncan decide I’m dispensable after all? I thought they wanted my head. Noooo, they’d rather kill you now…. I will no doubt be addressing both those criminals as well as Charles Morgan and all the other military AI and Neuroscience freaks who think it is ok to have a public profile yet attack women’s private parts in secret. Which one of them said: Oh yes, it’s ok to “create pain signals” by attacking women’s private parts? What has been the intention of the LiMIngs and Mazzeos in attacking my urethra and vagina the last 3 days? Urinary urgency of an extreme nature, continuous, to the point where you cannot stand, sit, sleep, work, read, nothing. That’s LIFE THREATENING CRIME. That’s INTENTIONAL MANSLAUGHTER. That’s HOMICIDE and MURDER. Let me also note here that last year I was hit twice in the PERINEUM by Blondie, from directly opposite when I slept in the front room–I have stopped sleeping there now. The private part and heart hits there last year–2023–and the extreme left leg sciatic nerve hit attacks were unbearable. I almost died then, and I knew that you cannot hit people in the perineum: that’s LETHAL WEAPONRY. That’s MUNITIONS. That’s ARMAMENTS. Who gave the police such weapons? I have been hit in the arm–the upper left arm with RADAR GUNS from the Mazzeos and Blondie side. TERAHERTZ, PULSED ENERGY PROJECTILES, and (currently on left thigh, 9:42 am) NANOSECOND ELECTRIC PULSE GENERATORS from LIMings as well. That’s not nanosecond either, full on minutes, and repeat attacks, as noted yesterday as well. I was recording ELECTRICAL SIZZLE HITS On my left shoulder and upper left arm earlier this year–they slammed out my second cell when I was able to record that. All three of these people need to be moved out of here and their weapons taken from them. Ditto the people at 147 Norfolk, the houses on either side of it, and the 149/147 Pine, 145/143 Pine, 146 Pine, 142 Pine, 222 Elmwood, 158 Pine, 167 Pine, !65 Pine, 162 Pine, !60 Pine….I need to check their names and owners and numbers again. 9:46 am: My right foot feels frozen despite sitting in front of the heater. Are they using Freeze weapons on my feet? Last night when the Mazzeos were shocking my spine I felt extreme cold–perhaos they’re trying to shock my soul out of my body again? For they tried that last year. I must write a deposition-style report about what they did–for I think they have figured out how to remove souls from bodies. They did it to me 3 times last year–one mode twice and the second mode once. Back of left brain being hit–9:48 am. Shielding. This, what they are doing with their squeeze shocks and making me shiver like that may be a new mode of death-hit–did they learn this stuff from the Egyptians? They know how to do Catatonia–they did That to me last year, several times, at night, using massive LRAD to wake the whole house up, then Catatonia for me so I ran out of the room and then stood frozen in front of Sophie’s door, over and over each night, asking if she was alright. The then Sophie. Some absolute children about 10 to 12 years old. Crying sometimes because their daddy wouldn’t let them go downstairs but made them sit in that room all evening. And the daddies all run by the CIA-Mazzeo club I think. That’s Luciferian Satanic MADNESS. The Mazzeos have been running the double-clone-SS-BS-crapcrime one after the other I think. All these short redheads, playing Psychology and Strategy and Powertrips–that’s what they ‘ve been doing. Brains the size of peanuts so they come to steal mine…The Catatonia they must have achieved with Haldol, all purpose barely smellable drug, designed to mushroom you. This is what the CIA is doing, practicing how to induce Catatonia, and Paranoia, and Bipolar, and Depression, and Schizophrenia with a combination of actual drugs and RF frequencies, delivered through weapons. Then Catch-22 all with “Behavioral Health” and “Diagnoses”: “We have enough here to proclaim a few labels: Catatonic Schizophrenic, Paranid Schizophrenic, Bipolar Schizophrenic”….MKULTRA never looked better. The thing to get into. A real hopping field, especially for short GMC’d clones who know they’be been gypped and want Power but don’t know they will NEVER be given power even as PsychoDocsters as they are training themselves to be….do I need to tell them that? Their GIANT SHAPESHIFTER cousins will ensure that. Who are the scientists, the ones who actually f*d with their embryos and made them? They are criminals. They are running large and loose aren’t they? They’re not in jail. No they’re in the labs, making newer and stranger looking babies. I wonder what kind of babies these men were–normal? Or strangely insane? As they have become now. 9:58 am. 10:02 am: Do the Mazzeos think perhaps because they are CIA–and their family names aren’t Mazzeo for sure–and Israeli Mafia and Khazarian Mafia, they can do “Anything Goes” with this weaponry to a woman’s body? That’s what they are doing. They have consented to become MOLESTERS. RAPISTS. MURDERERS. LiMIngs too. “We’ll do anything to stop her.” Fast moving cancers of the pancreas and breast is what they have both on both sides “gone for” the last few days. Why, because I’m exposing them for the criminals they are?–them and local police with them, who have consented to become criminals over and over until no “policing” is left, only Crime. 10:06 am: There is only cold air now coming out of the heater. Last night I found the mist humidifier is actually broken. It was broken by the Mazzeos the night prior, November 13 with a clean strike break in the plastic top to bottom of the jar holding the water. I hadn’t moved it. It didn’t fall/. Crack hit to break, through-wall. They must feel invincible. Currently left knee being squeeze hit–stopping for now. 10:08 am. Plane sounds in the distance. Low and ominous. There was a helicopter which went over my head this mrning….directly overhead, around 4:30 or 5 when I refused to get up. 10:09 am. 11/16/2024-11:31 am: Just needing to report the description of the new Mazzeo seen this morning–one seen here before, when some of the worst vibration for heart attack hits were directed at me–lithe, skinny, tight fitting denim blue shirt, short but not as short as the pudgy short man here a few days ago–this one was bald with cap pulled down over bald head but red beard and mustache, hollow looking face, keeping his head down as I looked down at him, opening his trunk and rushing into his car, apparently just showered, looking guilty–for he is: All morning, hits at my vagina and urethra, hits just then at my bladder and urethra, all evening and night hits of 5g/RF HPM at my face including around 6 when he was witnessed in the corner tiny space between shed and our wall clearly put in the wrong place–we should have stopped that alley from happening–Paul needs to be told–he got in there and started blasting LRADs at the bed and RF at my nose so I couldn’t breathe–then at night early morning around 3 or 4 massive heart and pancreas hits as I lay sleeping, from outside, I heard him scrabbling about outside, he must have been by that shed or alleyway–I struggled to shield and keep sleeping. When I woke it was past the helicopter driveby around 7 I think–I woke at eight. I went out to feed the birds and give them water while I continued to be extremely bladderly/vaginally hit –running to refix shielding several times as I made coffee–when I went outside massive soundblasting from the Paris house on Elmwood–perhaps 223 or 224 Elmwood. This trumpetblaster mower kept making manic sound while the birds scattered. I tried reassuring the ones I saw outside. I must make more of an oak haven in this yard I think and perhaps get some evergreens all around so the birds feel safer, and of course I need a metal privacy screen. Perhaps it is time to expose the Kochroaches of Quincy who seem to think they can attack us quiet ones living here with blast trumpet sounds. They cannot have our peace and quiet and gardens. I am going to make a report in Quincy Beat and reveal the CIty is trying to steal everyone’s homes–they are New York Kriminals and must be STOPPED. So I think Redbeard there who might indeed have blue eyes–Stewart Swerdlow wants us to believe Jesus had red hair and blue eyes–called the Trumpetblasters and he is connected with the old Zionist freaks from New York and Vanguard who are in cahoots with Koch and think they are the ones who will stay here and I will be the one to leave–No. My house is mine, my yard is mine, my trees are mine, my garden is mine and I am not moving….nor will I be killed by criminals. I WILL expose them for surely that is my prerogative. I must look into Lien Laws but I think it is simple–they needed to pay me a fine and they haven’t. That house is mine and I am going to Have it! They must leave after removing all the tech from all parts of house yard and shed and they must leave quietly back to Khazaria CIA and try to make amends. If I revealed everything I have seen they wouldn’t be so sanguine, coming back in shifts to send Kill Shots my way. I am refraining from Cursing them. But I do not see a Future for them….Any of them. Oh yes, Asshole Red was also jerking and shocking me the whole night and seems to be doing so still now–which means there’s another Asshole Red in that house, hiding upstairs and shocking me at my neck and feet. The LiMings meanwhile have moved to Terahertz and have been nerve-splitting my right hand and blasting my shoulder–both aiming RF at my nostrils and my head–the left side of my head feels a little stiff, as my right calf did this morning–literally every part of my body is being worked on by the trillion termagants in the vicinity each taking a body part to RF attack and destroy. Striving to breathe, I move forward. 11/17/2024, 9:18 am: Recovering from an extreme massive attack of lawless high frequency stimulation radiation on my vulva, vagina, bladder, urethra, cervix for about 1 hour I think since about 7:30 to 8 or 9 am–but starting well before that about an hour in bed at least maybe 5 or 6 am to 7 am when I rolled out of bed and found I had to immediately start shielding madly to try to escape the extreme attacks on my skin. These are skin weapons and combos of water, stone, copper, steel, rubber proved ineffective. I went down made coffee fed the birds gave them water. Noticed it is warmer today and the sun is shining the Norwegian maples are finally turning yellow the sky is blue with a nano graphene haze as so often in India now or at least when I visited four years ago–they must all be nano dusted everyday but Indian food nutrition prayerfulness probably helps Indians and India–I must speak of India as if it is a place and Indians as if we are a people with brains and souls and thinking and creative energy for here in the benighted west post Vivekananda and Yogananda and all else, Indira Gandhi–whom too I saw last night in a dream or a pineal opening along with numerous Ganeshas and “Satyalatha” whom I do not know and strange dreams, passageways, aloneness (piped in? could well be, the cia is fixated on gods and mud) –told me mot to forget who we are who I was; have to say we have so much contempt for her we forget how brilliant and brainiac she was with her polyglot self and Swiss education fluent in French et al–anyway she was charmed until she was not charmed the Sikhs killing her must have been the same criminals attacking my Kundy this morning–an excessive extreme attack post all the attacks of yesterday and the last 3 days–I had to climb into bed slide shielding under me and around me and pray. Downstairs when I held up my sound shield I could hear the fast low hits from all around including and especially the LiMIngs but it sounded orchestrated 360 degrees–Blondie and the Chevy were in the driveway, pickup on hill, shark car on hill, red minivan in LiMing drive, and a bunch of cars on the street the other side. DId the thing the National Grid men rototill into the ground 2 weeks ago have something to do with this? Are they putting 5G transmitters into the ground? For last night I was incessantly hit at the right side of my chest with radar–when I went to the window downstairs and looked I saw a gray SUV parked at head of Murphy drive, trunk/rear facing Pine; I saw a white fusion center truck or silver by the liMings, across our drive: CRIMINAL, that drive is Mine absolutely MINE; anyway this morning I also saw a white minvan like the one the freak who came twice to my door saying TI TI parked outside the Ruane house; when I came upstairs here, almost hobbled by the amount of rubber and steel cake minipans in my underwear, I was hit intensely here too, could barely go to the bathroom again and douse the stones–blazing hot again–in water to put against my vulva. These are military weapons given to criminals who seem to have been lobotomized. I lay down and could not breathe the pain was so intense. The hits kept coming from the LiMIng and Mitzen yard side–I had closed off the bottom of the bed with sheet metal shielding–so her shed direction would not work. I closed my eyes had forgotten to pray–could not think. The closed eyes of the Buddha came to me and the looking up to the hills–I prayed. Om Namah Shivaya. The Buddha stayed with me. I prayed Shakyamuni Buddha–could not recall any lines or buddhist mantras. Tried Nam myoho rengai ko –it did not feel right. I remembered the Shiva covered with flowers I had seen once when I was constantly seeing the flowers and flower at center of Life, flowing and radiating Life. I stayed with Om Namah Shivaya–tried the Ah Oooh Ma sound of the Om. The letter a in lower case Roman came to me. The Buddha stayed with me. The sense of the Buddha, the Kamikura Buddha I recalled, but also the sleeping Buddha the eyes. The Closed praying Chinese or Japanese eyes. It was Aaah– I remembered the small Brahmin Indian child telling her mother to hum saying Aaah–she knew the sound. That is the sound. I once saw the swirling of the opening of the world–dust and light, merged, concentric, and there were letters and numbers. I have seen the Thamil letters often–saw them briefly now. I have seen other Indian language letters–Kannada and Telugu, Hindi, Sanskrit. Muh is there someplace–musicians know more I think. But it is Ahhh–this vibes with what I saw incessantly the past 2 days I must write about it….There is a God and there are Gods and the world is being remade. Our genes are being preserved. The darkness they have created is being undone. There is a continuous myriad-pronged swirling to the right to the turning of the clock in clockwise movement, multicolored all around–but the colors and dots they have put in–the electric blues in particular I don’t really know what is happening there….I did at different points see the nano being removed, the filaments…..but there is nano ferrous oxide in our brains–that’s the MNP probably from the docs–they must be spraying them still. I saw the vibration of energy the lifting of it from the multiple whirling and spinning–we are living in seas of energy, but some comes up from that positive remaking. So yes this behavior by the criminals is to negativize our positive rising upward creative and being energy. It is Being energy they seek to reverse backwards–are they hands and feet of devils? Why would they want to reverse life–they are formed of life. Their “power” is not maintained by reversing life. The opposite of Being and Life is Death. The freaks want us to die so they can live? They won’t live….but it has changed now. They must be grasping at straws with what they have been doing to me the last few days and today–the whole of Life is being transformed or returned really, restored. We are being restored, returned to our intended selves. These maniacs are fighting it. Money is manmade–but the exchange of energy is coded into the cosmos. –9:48 am. 4:38 pm: Just managed to shield better after an excruciating day of extreme remote access and assault of bladder urethra, vagina vulva to create a heightened sense of urinary urgency–an extreme bladder attack weapon which has been used at sink, stove, near back door, on couch–grey fbi like suv at mitzen house with a white-haired guy getting out an hour or so ago and go into the Mitzens–in trying to think about these sustained attacks the last few days and why these people would do it–all surrounding and some zoomers sending hard cracks from underneath the bed, it is clear 1) they want to stop me from writing 2) they want to attack me and give me pain and suffering for exposing them all 3) they are sadists with no brains but plenty of evil ideas about hitting women in the sexual/urinary area 4) they just signed their DEATH WARRANT And I am going to make sure they get it. 5) they want me to freak out act out and put Vagina Bladder Sex against my name,,,,yes I think that’s it plus they seem to think weakening and sickening someone is the same as activating and angering someone. However they have just signed their death warrant and I am going to give them some coverage…..4:43 pm. 4:54 pm: Needing to note, before I forget: yesterday around this time the sound of leaf blasting alerted me to Mazzeo man lurking in the drive blasting leaves supposedly. I was still being hit in the kundy but I went over to the window to look and witnessed another Mazzeo man, not the thin bald red bearded criminal from the morning (this is Sat we’re talking about) this one was short, slim, blonde–dark blond with blond and black in his hair and a beard, trimmer. Younger more schoolboy like. however he must have had the kundy weapon in his back pocket for he was hitting me as I stood by the window. A little earlier yesterday afternoon, I heard the LiMing of the day sweeping leaves by her shed and looked through an upstairs window to see what I could see. She was wearing all camel, a jumpsuit or a top and pants, black boots, very smart, oompa loompa topknot looking like she was headed to a board meeting as she went into the henhouse to clean out I presume the hen poop. Later running to her cell phone propped up on the windowbox of the shed where the 5G and RF HPM and other goodies are kept. She must have seen me through the corner of her left eye and was making sure she got some film. I held back behind the curtain and when I popped out agian there it was cell phone tilted upward. I was quite of a mind to say a word or two given the ghosty ghosty shivers and whispers and projected sound the last couple days from both their ends–Mazzeo and LIming–and may have said a word or two to the birds as I stood there watching the little chickadees and juncos play in the native cherry, one whose branches had been as massacred by her as the other trees. She swung her head up startled, as if someone had spoken to her. I wonder what people say when they do speak to her. At some point she called officiously, Who crying? in her broken Chinglish, but imperious, like a queen or a mother who actually knew not to abuse her children and to tell them her name (which she hadn’t.) Why crying? she queried next although I didn’t hear sparrows or dimwit husband respond. Note, this dimwit I have seen hopping away fast on his hind legs, squatting–the day he came to the top of his steps supposedly to shoot nano or new implants into me–a favorite bad-Chinese pastime in these parts–when Quincy DPW man was felling our cosmos and sweetgreens and refusing to listen to me as I stood in our own front yard, voice attacked, helped by no one. LiMIng man then knew I wasn’t looking for help from him but sharpshooting opportunistically just cause I was standing there? What a criminal. I certainly will publish this account for I haven’t relayed all of the horrors these people have wrought on my body yet. One of their specialties is Disfiguring, and they have achieved this quite well. The Kundy hitters from next door however who are involved, Chen LiMIng, Mrs, Chen LiMIng, Joseph and Samantha Mazzeo–the names for the shifting changers from the CIA, the FBI Mitzens and their new tenants, the Fusion Center criminal parked outside the LiMIngs last night, and the QPD/QDC criminals across the street–Kimberly Johnson and her fatass friends from hell, all at home today–Sunday, Chevys and pickups parked on the hill, all busy blasting my bladder nonstop, my vulva, my vagina, my urethra, giving me UTI after UTI all morning today, all afternoon, and yesterday and all night–forcing a hundred runs to the bathroom to run cold water over my flaming flesh, horrible cold chills running thrugh my body as my entire body spasmed, each time the UTI far gone rushed through me, the stones, wet I had placed against my skin just a few minutes before blazing hot again, just burning, and those ghastly low sounding fast hits on the sound shield I held against me trying to protect myself as I washed and ran cold water over the stones, desperate as I stood, burning, a cold burning, being blasted over and over on my vulva and urethra so I had to wash the stones, put them back, stick rubber under, more anti-skid rubber stuffed into my pants then cover up and hobble over to the bed and stick shields under me, over, to the side. They called drones constantly–Drones came over my bed, RNM’d my right calf, told them where I and my cervix was so they could re-approach and stick their ghastly pencils of high radio frequency misery into me. That Mental Health article was written after they first started to hit me–clearly they were making me extremely ill and I needed to rest. I took a break from my other work to report the CRIME of assault and battery by police in neighborhoods all over the USA and world really, alleging “mental illness” “bipolar” “schizophrenia” and attacking, ambushing, Tasing and killing people. Who is reporting this crime? I don’t see any reportage online of this massive criminality. So, reporting Police is dangerous, so dangerous they will come after you with Kundy-hit weapons? but they were using them on me before I started–was it my Substack article then which draws attention to the Police-Mental Health crime of attacking women in their homes and highlights the new “AI Chatbots” people can download and get “mental health support” from as they get drawn into the Psychiatry-world of absolute crime? Clearly I have been out of it these past few years–never realized this was going on–hadn’t heard of Walter Wallace or Juju Chang or Jason Harrison or Charleen Hunter or seen the skewed coverage on her and the lying coverage on those two men. Police may have been sued, jailed–I don’t know, need to look further into this to find out what happened. But as a Brownskinned woman reporter from India and Washington DC I have been kept from any connection with the African-Americn community. So many crimes against us all, against me. But to attack me like this–a concerted attack over 3-4 days I think, extreme UTI-creating, extreme bladder-hitting–these are people who hate women. Who hate reporting. Why read me then? Give me a wide berth on the Internet. Others read me, agree with what I’m saying. Let them. Why attack me? We’re in Communist Russia or China is it? These pale-faces living next to me and Chinese need to check their American history. You can’t hit women. You can’t hit women from any country. You can’t hit women in the Kundy–that bowl of the pelvis, a Thamil word, from South India, where I come from, a place which Exists, which no one here seems to have heard about–oh we don’t know where she comes from, let’s beat her up in her Kundy! Daily attacks by this incredibly criminal CIA Pale-Brainist Racist coterie, flashing their red beards and black boots and sending intense Radio Frequency hits to my bladder, over and over and over. Not just do they need jailing for life they need re-education in How to Be a Human. They may of course not be human but something else grotesque and incomprehensible. 5:38 pm: Let me also note that if I hadn’t suddenly been able to shield better with more steel under me I could not be half-sitting up writing this. At some point in the past hour when the LiMIngs were directing hits and someone from behind was directing hits upward, making a racket on the steel, then a car speeding away, the Mazzeo came to their shed and I was heart-hit–permanent pans against my heart the past couple days. Can anyone hear me? Are people listening? Are people reading this reportage the world over? The absolute criminals who get these fusion center contracts in whichever way and come and sit around us and beat us to deatth ARE BEATING US TO DEATH. I wondered if I was going to die from the pain, over and over–if someone is hitting you with RF energy pulses continuously right at your cervix and urethra giving you extreme heat and overstimulation of the skin, that is extreme extreme pain and you could die from it. This was going on hour after hour after hour. I strove to take breaks, go down, take Cystone, do a spot of gardening, feed the birds again, make lunch around 2:30. I was hit extremely all through that lunch-making. Noticed the grey SUV on the street by the house next to the LiMIngs. Then back up here and striving to breathe past the 5g-blasting. A few days ago maybe 2 weeks ago–I did write this down I Think just recently–National Grid was here planting something in the ground opposite the house. Is that also in play with the 5G blasting or is that for ELFS and electrical induction? How would I find out? I need to ask for some information. But every single one of the people around me need to be divested of their weapons. The Kundy hit weapons are extreme and they are Death-threatening. Shall we let the DOD and DARPA and CIA and AIr Force and Army and Marine Corps keep them and keep on finetuning them so women and girls can be assaulted like this every day to keep them from speaking and writing and singing? Maybe bearded men from Israel and Khazaria will spread all over the USA like a plague, controlling women with Kundy hits. Maybe the Chinese CCP will send their spies, including women spies, to run about secretly assaulting women with Kundy-hit weapons in public bathrooms and YMCAs so girls can’t swim or walk or play tennis but must huddle, being Controlled by them. These weapons need to be exposed and stopped. I haven’t read about these in the docs I’m perusing but I’ve been hit by various kinds of them. It’s the Methodology of hitting too, nonstop, which has almost killed me now. –5:49 pm. https://everydayconcerned.net/ramola-dreports/reporters-notes/reporters-note-45-extreme-attack-on-private-parts-with-kundy-hit-weapons-bladder-weapons-non-lethal-no-both-these-ghastly-weapons-the-fusion-contractors-who-wield-them-need-to-be-stopped/

Inside Israel’s torture, rape, and dehumanization centers Shocking even by Israeli standards, the horrifying truth of the occupation’s systematic torture, rape, and degradation of Palestinian detainees reveals a brutality buried in silence. Robert Inlakesh While the world witnesses the atrocities and massacres committed by Israel’s military assault on Gaza every day, the thousands of Palestinians detained by occupation forces – before and after the events of 7 October 2023 – face torture and death behind closed doors, alone. Worse yet, these detention horrors have been brazenly publicized and even bragged about by occupation soldiers, with violent, vocalized support from wide swathes of Israeli society. In the shadows of Israel’s prisons, tens of thousands of Palestinian detainees are enduring a relentless campaign of cruelty. Reports detail harrowing accounts of beatings, gang rape, and psychological torture, compounded by the denial of essential needs such as food, water, and medical care. This systematic abuse, carried out on an industrial scale, is staggering in its scope and savagery. Public protests have emerged – not to condemn these atrocities – but to demand the release of Israeli soldiers implicated in acts of sexual violence so severe that their victim tragically died from the injuries inflicted. Secrecy and suffering inside Israeli prisons Ronen Bar, the head of Israel’s Shin Bet security agency, issued a dire warning to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in June, describing the situation in Israeli prisons as a “ticking time bomb,” which may endanger senior Israelis abroad and expose them to “international tribunals.” Bar’s letter revealed that over 21,000 Palestinian detainees were being held, far exceeding official figures and the capacity of the centers. Rather than addressing these concerns, Israel’s extremist Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, who has barred Red Cross and humanitarian access to Palestinian detainees, responded by boasting about his role in worsening conditions for prisoners. A policy paper from the Institute for Palestine Studies highlighted the draconian measures implemented as early as 17 October – a mere 10 days after the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. These measures included: Constricting living spaces; removing detainees’ beds when necessary and replacing them with mattresses on the floor, leading to overcrowding; a policy of ‘closures’ whereby prison cells are locked, and total isolation is imposed; closing prisons to all family visits or visits by the Red Cross or by lawyers, and rescinding the possibility of bringing detainees before judges so that all judicial sessions are conducted through video conference. The situation under the security minister has deteriorated to the point where Ben Gvir has openly called for the execution of Palestinian detainees, which he offers up as a “simpler solution.” Since 7 October, at least 35 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli jails and military detention camps. Reports of rape and abuse despite censorship While many details remain obscure, evidence from court documents, eyewitness testimonies, and leaked photos and videos paint a harrowing picture of the conditions inside these facilities. One particularly disturbing case is that of Bassem Tamimi, a resident of Nabi Saleh in the West Bank, who was released from administrative detention – a form of imprisonment without charge – physically emaciated and emotionally broken. Even Israeli news outlet Haaretz had its report on Tamimi’s treatment redacted by authorities in an attempt to conceal the breadth of prison brutality. In January, a joint report published by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) detailed what it called “systemic” torture of Palestinians. One testimony presented in the report, from a detainee called “Prisoner R” held in Ketziot Prison, revealed the following details: The wardens would threaten to kill the prisoners as they entered the cells … Wardens would conduct searches while the prisoners were naked, place naked prisoners against each other, and place the aluminum device used in the searches in their buttocks. In another instance, the wardens passed a card in a prisoner’s buttocks. All of this took place in sight of other prisoners and wardens, while the wardens took pleasure in beating the prisoner’s genitals. After a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas in late November, claims began to emerge of severe torture and rape – testimonies that largely fell on deaf ears. On 1 December, Baraah Abo Ramouz, a Palestinian journalist just released from prison, told the press that: The situation in the prisons is devastating. The prisoners are abused. They are being constantly beaten. They’re being sexually assaulted. They are being raped. I’m not exaggerating. The prisoners are being raped. Gender-based violence as collective punishment Upon exiting the prisons, many Palestinian detainees opted to remain silent on their experiences inside Israeli detention facilities due to fears of retribution but also out of a deep sense of shame and the need to preserve their honor in a conservative society. At the time, the Israeli security minister directed Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai to crack down on any celebrations by families of the released prisoners. As Ben Gvir publicly stated: My instructions are clear: there are to be no expressions of joy ... Expressions of joy are equivalent to backing terrorism; victory celebrations give backing to those human scum. A UN report released on 12 June almost entirely focuses on cases of sexual abuse and rape committed against Palestinian men, women, and children while under detention. Israeli forces, the report says: Systematically targeted and subjected Palestinians to SGBV [Sexual and Gender-Based Violence] online and in person since October 7, including through forced public nudity, forced public stripping, sexualized torture and abuse, and sexual humiliation and harassment. The report further states that gender-based violence “directed at Palestinian women was intended to humiliate and degrade the Palestinian population as a whole.” The men and young boys were stripped and paraded through the streets, and the women were forced to watch as the kidnapped, cuffed, and blindfolded captives were “coerced to do physical movements while naked.” In Gaza, not only are random Palestinian civilians rounded up and subjected to public degradation, but many are then transferred to Israeli detention centers, without charges, to suffer torture and even death. According to eyewitness testimonies collected by the Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) in July, four blindfolded detainees held without any charge were summarily executed in front of other inmates at the Kerem Abu Shalom site located along the perimeter of Gaza. Palestine’s Abu Ghraib Perhaps the most infamous cases of abuse, torture, and rape against Palestinian detainees have emerged from the Sde Teiman detention center, a facility located at an Israeli military site in the Naqab (Negev) desert that is specifically designed for people abducted from Gaza. Per an amendment to Israeli law back in December, the military is permitted to hold ‘suspected terrorists’ for up to 45 days without charge before transferring them to the Israeli Prison System (IPS). Many of the Palestinian abductees, however, were held for much longer using loopholes in Israel’s legal and prison system. Despite countless leaked reports on the conditions faced by detained Gazans, including women, children, doctors, people with disabilities, and the elderly, the first real expose that broke through the English-language mainstream media barrier was an investigative piece published by CNN in May. The US outlet leaked photos of prisoners kept bound, blindfolded, and held behind barbed wire fences in stress positions, and quoted Israeli whistleblowers who worked in the facility. The testimonies attested to the horrifying sanitary conditions and routine torture practiced there, which one Israeli whistleblower said had “stripped them down of anything that resembles human beings.” Later, the New York Times went on to publish its own three-month-long investigation into the Sde Teiman facility, confirming three cases of electrocution, two cases of prisoners having their ribs broken during arbitrary beatings, and heinous crimes such as the anal rape of detainees. It also detailed how prisoners were humiliated and forced to wear only diapers during interrogations. Corroborating the investigative piece’s evidence, a leaked segment of a UN report on the facility quoted prisoners directly, revealing stomach-churning details. ‘We saw worms coming out of his body’ In testimony collected by UNRWA, a 41-year-old former detainee said: They made me sit on something like a hot metal stick, and it felt like fire – I have burns [in the anus]. The soldiers hit me with their shoes on my chest and used something like a metal stick that had a small nail on the side ... They asked us to drink from the toilet and made the dogs attack us … There were people who were detained and killed – maybe nine of them. One of them died after they put the electric stick up his [anus]. He got so sick; we saw worms coming out of his body, and then he died. A woman in her thirties also testified to being shown the aerial view of her neighborhood and threatened with the bombing of family members. While another 32-year-old woman described her harrowing experience while being transferred between different detention facilities: They asked the soldiers to spit on me, saying, ‘She is a b****, she is from Gaza.’ They were beating us as we moved and saying they would put pepper on our sensitive parts [genitals]. They pulled us, beat us, they took us on the bus to the Damon prison after five days. A male soldier took off our hijabs, and they pinched us and touched our bodies, including our breasts. We were blindfolded, and we felt them touching us, pushing our heads to the bus. We started to squeeze together to try to protect ourselves from the touching. They said ‘b****, b****.’ They told the soldiers to take off their shoes and slap our faces with them. Dehumanization of Palestinian prisoners Confirming previous reports on the issue, Haaretz also published a piece on the amputation of prisoners’ limbs by unqualified individuals, which was performed due to the extended periods detainees were shackled, leaving their circulation-deprived flesh to rot and get infected. A 32-year-old Gazan man, speaking to The Cradle on the condition of anonymity, says Israeli guards “beat me repeatedly and then urinated on me” while held at Sde Teiman detention center. He testifies to being severely tortured, too. “There were even doctors there, disabled people and young people, but they didn’t care who you were; we were all treated below animals,” he says, explaining that sounds were constantly played to disrupt sleep and make it impossible to tell what time it was. He goes on to say that he was beaten with metal tools and that the prison guards would mock him and threaten to kill the rest of his family, with full knowledge that his brother had been murdered in a previous series of Israeli airstrikes prior to his abduction, and using the information to torment him mentally. The director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, Dr Mohammad Abu Salmiya, who was released after spending seven months in Israeli detention without any charge, testified to what he witnessed after being ferried through a range of detention facilities, including Sde Teiman. Dr Abu Salmiya stated that “prisoners in Israeli jails endure different types of torture. The army treats them as if they were inanimate objects, and Israeli doctors physically assaulted us.” He went on to say that there were “severe torture and almost daily assaults inside the prisons and were denied medical treatments,” adding that “no international organization visited us in Israeli prisons, and we were prohibited from meeting any lawyers. Many detainees are still left behind in very poor health and psychological conditions.” Showers come with severe punishments Beyond the countless makeshift detention facilities hastily erected inside Gaza – where prisoners were stripped, blindfolded, and left in the sand to endure harsh weather conditions – there are three official detention centers specifically for Palestinians from Gaza, surrounding the besieged coastal territory. Palestinian lawyer with Israeli citizenship, Khaled Mahajneh, provided an insightful first-hand account of the conditions faced in the Sde Teiman detention camp after being granted a rare visit, stating that “the treatment is more horrifying than anything we have heard about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.” Mahajneh recounted the testimony of one prisoner, who revealed that the only time shackles were removed was during a weekly one-minute shower. But Palestinian detainees began refusing these showers because exceeding the one-minute limit, without a timer to guide them, resulted in “severe punishments, including hours outside in the heat or rain.” After months of mounting evidence on the deadly conditions faced at Sde Teiman, 10 Israeli reservist soldiers were accused of gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner with a stick. Nine of the accused were arrested, one of whom would be released the next day and go on to brag about his actions on Israeli television. The arrests, however, triggered the invasion of military facilities by thousands of Israeli protesters, backed by Ben Gvir, who lionized the rapists as “heroes.” A debate on the incident even followed in the Israeli Knesset, where Likud Party MK Hanoch Milwidsky argued in favor of the gang rape. Since then, a video of the assault has surfaced, and Israel’s Honenu legal aid organization, representing four of the accused, has claimed their clients were acting in “self-defense.” It’s not just one facility At a press conference held in the West Bank city of Ramallah in mid-July, Mahajneh also revealed that he had learned, during a visit to the Ofer detention center located in the West Bank, that a 27-year-old Palestinian inmate was brutally raped as follows: A pipe from a fire extinguisher was used on a handcuffed prisoner. Forcing him to lie on his stomach, stripping him of all his clothes, and inserting the pipe of the fire extinguisher into the prisoner’s rectum. Then, activating the extinguisher … in front of the eyes of the other prisoners. The case of Palestinian bodybuilder Muazzaz Abayat from Bethlehem, who lost half his body weight during his nine-month incarceration, is indicative of the inhumane conditions that all prisoners are subjected to and that the foul treatment is in no way confined to the detention camps surrounding Gaza. Official Israeli figures put the number of Palestinian political prisoners at just under 10,000, including 3,380 administrative detainees and 250 children. These numbers are clearly inaccurate, given that Israel’s Shin Bet director has already estimated detainees to number around 21,000 – in June. The exact figures remain elusive, and many prisoners remain unaccounted for. The confirmed death toll among Palestinian prisoners, currently at 53, is also likely an underestimation, as many detainees are still considered missing. In stark contrast to the intense media coverage and political concern for the Israeli captives held in Gaza, the plight of Palestinian detainees is largely ignored. There are more Palestinian children held as hostages by Israel than the total number of Israelis seized on 7 October, even according to the lower 10,000 prisoner estimate. In comparison to the suffering of Palestinian detainees, the issue of their Israeli counterparts – less than 100, by some accounts – is a mere drop in the ocean. https://thecradle.co/articles/inside-israels-torture-rape-and-dehumanization-centers https://donshafi911iamthefaceoftruth.blogspot.com/2024/10/inside-israels-torture-rape-and.html

I Quit Eating White Flour & Threw Out All My "Vitamins" - Here's What Happened (Part 1) After I learned synthetic vitamins are poison, the United Nations is behind the Food Fortification program (which drugs the food supply with vitamins) and, like viruses, vitamins have never been properly isolated because they too are a Big Pharma scheme to sell us health made in a laboratory, I began taking a hard look at what I was eating. At this point in my life I had completely quit taking all supplements and I thought I was eating healthy, but upon closer inspection, I was alarmed to discover my entire diet was being synthetically vitaminized and poisoned. Literally everything was tainted, right down to my Paradise Green dehydrated peas… From my bag of rice to my afternoon kombucha drinks, all of the products in my pantry had chemicals slipped in to places least expected - they drugged the peas for f*cks sake! DEHYDRATED PEAS! Many months later, I was in the process of writing The Vitamin Swindle Part 1: The White Bread Scandal, when I learned rats that get into white flour mills won’t touch the flour. The more I researched, the more disturbed I became, specifically regarding white flour and the history of it. I learned about a massive conspiracy between the flour mills, the American Medical Association, Big Pharma and the US government. Long story short, they knew white flour was causing major health issues and they knew living off of it was the cause of “Beriberi”, yet they went out of their way to assure the public it was a great, nutritious product that people should eat for their health. REMOVAL OF WHITE FLOUR FROM MY DIET You see, because white flour, like rice flour, has vitamins dumped in at the mills via the UN “fortification” and “enrichment” program, it is nearly impossible to eat products containing this flour and avoid also consuming synthetic vitamins: (17 second video) So, although I had quit consuming bottled supplements, I was still consuming the same vitamins via the food supply. But after the rat discovery, without hesitation, I axed white flour from my diet. Let me tell you, while not taking vitamins was easy (and saved me money too!), not eating white flour was incredibly difficult because I had to relearn how to eat and, being that I loathed cooking, I didn’t know what to do. I was so used to buying premade health food that I felt lost; everything I was purchasing had white flour (or synthetic vitamins) in it somewhere. With zero kitchen skills, my meals became a head of broccoli with natural butter and Real Salt or diced cucumber with garlic, feta and extra virgin olive oil or a plate of sliced tomatoes and lots of baked potatoes. Here’s an example of my dinner: The first five-or-so nights of being white-flour-free, I sweat like crazy while I slept and my sweat smelled ghastly. It was a strange odor I had never smelled before. I can’t quite explain it, perhaps something like plastic burning in a hot dumpster that is full of roadkill and rotten dairy. It was so foul that I had to run my bedding to the washing machine every morning for nearly a week. No matter how much I showered I could still smell this awful stench for the first couple days. NO WHITE FLOUR, WEEK #2 I woke up one morning and discovered my underwear were stretched out. I grabbed a different pair and those didn’t fit either. What the heck? Did the washer ruin my clothes? When I pulled on my work pants, those didn’t fit either! I realized I had lost weight - a lot of it. I hurried to the closet to grab my belt, threw it around my wait and slid the buckle right past my usual connection hole. I had lost so much weight in 14 days that I downsized one belt hole! I was quite puzzled because I lost this weight by doing nothing other than quitting white flour; no gym and 0 exercise because I traded that time for writing Substack articles for you. I also noticed my facial skin looked more youthful. The bags under my eyes nearly vanished. I told my spouse I think I have the energy of a 20 year old, *wink, wink*. WEEK #3 By the third week I lost another 10-or-so pounds, now my shirts looked a full size too large. But that’s not all, another huge change occurred. During this week I began becoming naturally tired in the evenings. Writing articles until 9pm then watching a documentary until 10:30-11pm no longer worked for me. I was tired at 8, asleep by 9 and up at 3am so I could get in a few hours of writing before work. This may sound like a really insane time to wake up, but I love it. My mind is so clear, I am so focused and the world is so peaceful. I think my best content and research is what I am producing at this early hour. Strangely, even though I was waking up so early then spending three hours working before I go into work, I had energy the entire day. Additionally, my mood had become overall more optimistic about everything in life. I began hacking away at the list of sh*t I have been putting off forever. (Responding to Substack direct messages is on that list. Only 580 more messages to go…) WEEK #4 By the fourth week, my love handles vanished. I pinched my love handle area and could only pinch an inch of skin between my fingers. My stomach began to flatten. I even noticed my face looked thinner and the droop in my chin that I blamed on age disappeared. My shoulders began looking defined again and that sure wasn’t from spending 12 hours a day on a pc. Then something really wild happened… MONTH 1 Around the end of the month, I realized my taste buds completely changed. Everything I loved (especially potato chips and dip, Lord I loved me some cheddar & sour cream chips with French onion dip), became disgusting. After being flour-and-chemical-free for over four weeks, Tostitos tortilla chips were inedible because the chemicals in them burned the sh*t out of my gums. Fast food, even my beloved Taco Bell, tasted f*cking terrible - so disgusting that, for the first time ever, I threw it out after two bites. When my spouse, who is not on board with my diet, ordered a pizza, I took one bite then instead made another baked potato. It was at this time that foods containing chemicals or GMOs began killing my stomach. I dreaded dinner at my parents house because I knew I would be dealing with hours of pain. I was forced to cut restaurants our of my life because, even when I selected the best options, I was still forced to endure hours of torture afterward. (btw, I learned we should never be consuming products like Pepto Bismol, instead eat some nutmeg. It works fast too!) But it gets crazier - I started craving produce. For the first time in my life (I’m in my mid-40s), I wanted bananas and I would think to myself, “some cauliflower sounds good today”. I craved a baked potato without cheese - just real butter, real salt, real pepper and herbs (and organic sour cream because I’m no saint). Even more mind-blowing, cheese, as a whole, stopped being a necessity and food tasted great without it. In fact, I began tasting a plastic-type flavor in shredded cheese (even cheese my better-half shreds from full blocks), which was pretty repulsive so I no longer used cheese unless it was goat or sheep. Then, things got even stranger. I was able to somehow tune in with what my body wanted and my body wanted less meat and more beans. I know, it’s wild, right? I never in my life wanted beans unless it was a can refried bean dip for a bag of Doritos. I began to truly enjoy black beans which I previously hated. [If you hate cooking, the best canned bean manufacturer in the world is Siete. They are who singlehandedly got me to love black beans. Siete has products that allow an anti-cook to enjoy Mexican food and still eat clean without compromising taste. Their products are probably at wherever you shop, plus they are sold on Amazon.com, in Costco, etc. Here’s their site, SieteFoods.com and here’s their black beans:] Another unexpected change occurred around this time: my entire adult life, I have classified myself as running hot. It drove the spouse nuts because I would want to sleep with the window cracked, even in the winter. During the peak of summer I would sleep in the basement because the house was too hot, even with the AC on blast… but this all ended. MONTH #2 At the beginning of the second month, I estimate I lost around 40 pounds! I didn’t realize I had that much to lose because I am an overall slimmer person and if you would have asked me how overweight I was, I would have said, “I guess I could lose 10 or 15 pounds.”. I lost so much weight that people started asking if I’ve been hitting the gym. When I replied, “Nope, just quit white flour and vitamins”, they looked at me like I was a lunatic, but that was ok. I now looked like I was wearing my father’s clothing, so I had to get new everything in a full size smaller. Then, one more crazy thing happened… and, for me, this was one of the most unexpected changes of all… I stopped drinking my beloved whiskey, not because I wanted to, no sir, I love whiskey. I stopped drinking it because I came home from work one day, walked to my whiskey shelf, picked up a bottle of Blanton’s and, as soon as I removed the cork, I realized I just didn’t want it. This is a feeling I had never experienced in my life. I began drinking when I was 15 years old and had drank ever since. When life felt at its worst, I would buy multiple bottles of whiskey at a time. In fact, I was buying so much that the liquor store would save empty case boxes for me so they were easier to carry to my vehicle. So, on this specific day, as I stood at my whiskey shelf, when I didn’t want to fill up my glass, it was as if my mind misfunctioned. As bizarre as this sounds, I tried to talk myself into having just one glass. My odd conversation with myself ended with the decision to not pour the whiskey and instead drink something else but to come back in an hour and fill the glass up. … an hour later, it still didn’t sound good. I was baffled. That was the first night in my adult life that I went to bed voluntarily choosing not to drink alcohol… and feeling GREAT! I wondered if I would feel horrible withdrawals come morning, but the withdrawals never came. I bounced out of bed, ready to seize the day. And when I got home from work on day #2, drinking again didn’t sound good. MONTH #3 By the third month, my life had completely changed. I was a new person mentally and physically. I felt like I was the best version of myself that I could be. Like a superhero, my senses were all heightened and I became even more aware of things I had been missing around me. Let me give you an important example: Being that my spouse and young adult children are not participating in my diet, they eat all the processed garbage. Vegetables and fruit tastes terrible to them because their taste buds have adapted to the white flour diet. I will be writing more on this topic soon, so do it if you haven’t already: Anyway, I noticed that, when they wake up in the mornings they are physically fine however, within 30 minutes of them consuming breakfast (white flour and chemicals) they begin to develop a slight cough; a single cough or a throat-clearing that repeats approximately every 15 to 20 minutes after the consumption of these products. I observed the identical occurrence with my coworkers. I also noticed, after lunch (a second dose of the same toxins), in addition to the random cough, my older son will start slightly sniffling like allergies. At my job, my associate who stops at Panera Bread each morning for a muffin and a coke, needs allergy medication by noon. In the spring and summer she blames pollen, and when the identical symptoms occur in the fall and winter she blames dust. I had never really put 2 + 2 together... “allergies”… Throughout the first five months, I had a total of maybe 3 drinks, and the wildest part was that I cut myself off after a single drink because it just didn’t taste good. Even my top shelf whiskey, Heaven’s Door Bootleg Series, just didn’t do it for me. The one evening I was peer pressured into excessively drinking (buddy’s 40th birthday party), I didn’t enjoy it at all and woke up the next day feeling like hell. This further reinforced that I didn’t want to consume alcohol anymore. SIX MONTHS LATER: THE RELAPSE After a half year of being in the best health of my adult life (even better health than when I was bodybuilding because I was poison-free this time around), I had to go out of town for five days. On the upside, I got to stay at a resort. On the downside, I quickly realized there was absolutely nothing for me to eat that didn’t involve white flour, additives or vitamins. I arrived at the resort at 10pm and the only available food was pizza, white bread sandwiches with processed meat and cheese, fried chicken strips with white flour breading, and so on. I went to bed with my stomach growling. The next morning I awoke naturally at 3am, long before the resort breakfast area was open. I got out my laptop and tried to focus on writing while my stomach screamed. At 7am, when the breakfast bar opened, I raced to it, only to discover white flour bagels with processed cream cheese and chemical margarine packets, Dole fruit cups in heavy syrup, Quaker Oat single serve oatmeal with sugar and vitamins, Tropicana fortified orange juice served alongside fortified milk, and Quaker chocolate granola bars. Then there were also seven bananas. I grabbed a plate, took all seven and beelined back to my room. When lunch came, to my dismay, there were no non-tainted food options, and this is when my nosedive began… I selected the beer batter fried fish sandwich which seemed to be the least of all evils. I asked for no bun or toppings, just give me the breaded fish on a plate. Trying to remove the batter from the fish proved unsuccessful. It tasted horrible but I needed something in my stomach. That evening I had time to relax in tropical paradise. I found a good chair to watch the geoengineering over the ocean, it was painfully obvious they were in the process of making Hurricane Debby. While staring at planes spraying the sky and watching frequency being deployed to push the spray in one direction while the natural clouds were moving the opposite direction, the waitress convinced me to try their dark rum pina coladas which, as she stated, were indeed delicious. In fact, they were so delicious that I ordered two more. Thankfully they were also filling, so I didn’t go to bed hungry. The following day was a repeat of the prior. I stole all of the bananas, ate fish covered in white flour then fried in horrible oil, then enjoyed a half dozen high-fructose-corn-syrup-and-chemicals pina coladas for dinner. Later that evening, with clouded judgement, I decide to give those fried chicken strips a try. I even ordered chemical ranch dressing to go with them… then got a shot of whiskey, my first shot of whiskey since getting clean. Before bed I watched the electrical storm over the Atlantic: (11 second video) The third morning I did not naturally wake up at 3am, I instead slept in until after 7. When I got to the breakfast bar, the bananas weren’t available so I chose the fake oatmeal packet. I had this day off work so, come 10am, I was poolside being served dark rum pina coladas. There were now two clearly-defined layers of clouds, quickly moving in opposite directions, and the media was beginning to run their Debby fear campaign. That evening I ordered the pizza and it tasted great. Come morning #4, I didn’t want bananas, I instead opted for waffles with fake butter and cheap syrup. Lunch was a processed meat sandwich. Dinner was a burger with French fries dipped in ranch (I’m not a ketchup person, give me ranch or mayo). And this is where the unexpected happens… I also had the fifth day off work and again overslept by many hours. When I woke up I put on my shorts and noticed my stomach hanging over them. It wasn’t just a little bloated, it was bulged out substantially. I looked at my body in the mirror and I looked like I had gained at least 15 pounds! Dismayed but determined to enjoy my day, I repeated the day prior. All the way home, in the airports and on the planes, I ate trash and drank. Upon getting back to Michigan, I looked and felt like a different person. I was pudgy, tired, short-tempered, unmotivated, and I had a craving for fried foods, pizza and alcohol. Nothing sounded better than a bag of Lay’s and a can of Frito’s Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Dip. That evening I had some of the fast food my spouse and kids picked up for dinner and I finally poured that Blanton’s I passed on many months prior. My first morning back home, I debated stopping at McDonalds on the way into work because a Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit sounded incredible, but I refrained only because my motivation had been so stripped that even stopping to get fast food sounded like too much work. The next week was incredibly difficult because my taste buds had completely shifted and all of the clean foods I had purchased tasted bad but all of the processed foods were mouth-watering. My mind was telling me to make a baked potato or slice up cucumbers but my body was telling me “do that tomorrow, for now order Uber Eats.” . After around 12-days of mental war, the cravings ended and I was back on track. It took several weeks for the bloating and water-weight gain to reside completely. 10 MONTHS LATER It has now been around 10 months and I am back to my high school athlete weight. I have zero desire to eat processed food or white flour because it tastes so bad again. I had to get new apparel a second time because, even with the full size smaller clothing, I again looked like I was swimming in someone else’s shirts. In full transparency, not drinking alcohol resulted in a new coffee addiction. Yes, I am completely aware it is bad. In further full transparency, I still enjoy my cigars, but I’ll work on this as time progresses, one thing at a time, my friends. And in a final moment of transparency, I classify a single drink every couple months as “not being an alcohol drinker” and I see nothing wrong with this. LAUNCHING THE INVESTIGATION INTO WHITE FLOUR Perplexed by how quickly I fell off the rails and was overtaken by old habits, I couldn’t help but want to learn more about my whole experience, so I began looking deeper into white flour. The very first thing I discovered was that my weight loss and positive changes, especially to sleeping patterns, were nothing special, in fact, it’s the norm if you cut white flour from your diet.

I take lots of And many saw noticeable changes after only a week in the form of their skin looking brighter and cleaner and facial wrinkles lessening or vanishing. I began pondering white flour more. Remember how, at the beginning of this article, I explained there was this crazy conspiracy involving the government and the American Medical Association to make sure we consume this flour? I didn’t understand why the AMA was so hellbent on getting this inside of us. They wanted us to eat this so bad that they were willing to destroy their reputation over it. It seems hard to believe that this was just related to bribery or blackmail. It felt like their had to be more to the story. Deeper reflection lead me to wonder, what if the chemicals in white flour products can f*ck with our brains? Could it be possible that these ingredients can literally hijack our thought process and mind control us? That would indeed explain why I fell off the wagon and lost all sense of judgement in only a couple days of consuming the flour. But claiming this food might have the ability to mentally change us is a pretty wild hypothesis which would require a lot of deep digging and dot-connecting, but if that is indeed what is going on here, holy sh*t, that is massive.

Democratic Party’s total disregard for Palestinian lives – Day 320 [email protected] August 23, 2024 creeping annexation, deir al balah, DNC, gaza evacuation, gaza polio, kamala harris, Noa Argamani, tulkarem DNC attendees cover their ears as the names of dead Palestinian children are read as they leave the convention (photo) Compilation of news reports by IAK staff DNC acceptance speech: what did Kamala say about Gaza? Responsible Statecraft reports: This week’s protests, which saw thousands of antiwar demonstrators take to the streets (lined with scores of Chicago police) in and around the United Center pose a critical question to the Harris/Waltz ticket: Can they bridge the yawning gulf that divides the street and the establishment on the matter of Israel’s war on Palestine? The answer is, probably not. On Thursday night during her own showcase speech in which she formally accepted her party’s nomination, Harris appeared full-throated in favor of ending the war in Gaza. Here are her full (brief) remarks on the issue: With respect to the war in Gaza, President Biden and I are working around the clock, because now is the time to get a hostage deal and a ceasefire deal done. …. And let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the war that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence* and the massacre of young people at a music festival.** At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating so many innocent lives lost, desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, over and over again, the scale of suffering is heartbreaking. President Biden and I are working to end this war, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self determination. *While Israel has made allegations of “systematic sexual violence” against Hamas on October 7th, it has yet to provide forensic evidence or witnesses. The allegations persist apparently because American mainstream media continue to ignore the facts, though numerous websites have reported about the deficiencies in the coverage. **A number of the Israeli soldiers and civilians killed on October 7 were shown to have been killed by Israeli fire – a fact that is absent from the official Israeli narrative and Western mainstream media. As antiwar activist and author Norman Solomon has noted, Harris “has toed President Biden’s war line, while at times voicing sympathy for the victims of the Gaza war that’s made possible by policies that she supports. Her words of compassion have yet to translate into opposing the pipeline of weapons and ammunition to the Israeli military as it keeps slaughtering Palestinian civilians.” Supporters of Joe Biden use signs to cover up a “Stop Arming Israel” banner at the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19, 2024, in Chicago.

Residents were warned to evacuate several areas in Khan Younis governorate in southern Gaza, including Bani Suheila, Sheikh Nasser, Barbakh and as-Satr al-Gharbi, Avichay Adraee posted on X. The order comes after thousands of Palestinians fled parts of Deir el-Balah as the Israeli military issued an evacuation order and its forces advanced deeper into the overcrowded central Gaza city. The Israeli military has targeted areas it had designated as safe zones on several occasions previously, killing Palestinians taking refuge there. Gaza polio patient paralyzed, UN to begin vaccination soon Middle East Eye reports: The UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) says that it will begin vaccinating Gaza’s children for polio at the end of the month. The news comes after the besieged enclave recorded its first case of polio last week, and as the WHO confirmed that a a 10-month-old baby was now paralyzed due to the disease. “It is not enough to bring the vaccines into Gaza [and] protect the cold chain,” Phillippe Lazzarrini, commissioner general of Unrwa, said on X. “To have an impact, the vaccines must end up in the mouths of every child under the age of 10.” Gaza’s Health Ministry has said that a vaccination campaign alone will not prevent the spread of polio “in the absence of clean water, personal hygiene supplies, the spread of sewage among the tents of the displaced, and the absence of a healthy environment.” It is not clear whether Israel has allowed WHO polio vaccines to enter Gaza. The polio virus has been detected in Gaza's sewage, which flows through areas with displaced persons and residential zones due to infrastructure destruction, and “represents a new health crisis.” The polio virus has been detected in Gaza’s sewage, which flows through areas with displaced persons and residential zones due to infrastructure destruction, and “represents a new health crisis.” (photo) MSF says Israel’s new evacuation orders are ‘inhumane’ From Doctors Without Borders: Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, said its staff are among the thousands of people who are having to flee central Gaza after Israel’s military issued new evacuation orders for Deir el-Balah and Khan Younis. “The continuous forced displacement of people is inhumane,” MSF project coordinator Jacob Granger said in a statement. “People have no belongings left, nowhere left to go. There is no room to put tents up. The overcrowding, severe lack of water, and minimal sanitation services are fuelling the spread of diseases. We are unable to keep up with the overwhelming needs.” Israeli army invades ‘most crowded displacement camp in history,’ bombs Palestinians in shelters Mondoweiss reports: In a press release last Sunday, the Deir al-Balah municipality said that the waves of evacuation reaching Deir al-Balah were causing an unprecedented number of displaced people to cram into a tiny zone. According to the statement, Deir al-Balah’s total area is 42 square kilometers, and almost a million displaced people are now distributed across 200 displacement centers there. “This makes Deir al-Balah the most crowded displacement camp in history,” the municipality said. On Tuesday, the Israeli army bombed the local market in Deir al-Balah, killing 9 civilians. Several hours later, the army bombarded a school in Gaza City sheltering 700 people, killing 10 people, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense. Civil Defense teams were forced to cut up a martyr’s body to pull him out of the rubble, which had been stuck under three collapsed ceilings inside the school. Survivors say that it was one of the most horrific scenes they have witnessed since the start of the war. (Read the full article here.)

The editorial came as the families of Israeli captives held in Gaza criticized Netanyahu’s handling of the truce talks, saying the “full and direct responsibility for the fate of the negotiations is on the prime minister”. POTUS tweet, October 18, 2023 "I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding the situation on the ground, security assistance and humanitarian needs, and information on unaccounted Americans.

The aerial attack today came as the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said fighters from its Tulkarem Battalion clashed with Israeli soldiers in the camp and detonated explosive devices targeting military vehicles. Reporting from Tulkarem, Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim said on Thursday that the raid was ongoing 12 hours later in the congested area, with sounds of explosives and gunfire heard and drones flying above. Jewish terror is jeopardizing Israel’s existence: Shin Bet chief Middle East Eye reports: In a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, government ministers and the attorney general, Ronen Bar, the head of the Shin Bet security service, warned that Jewish terrorism was endangering Israel’s existence. Bar says that those he calls Jewish terrorists “want to cause the system to lose control, causing indescribable damage to Israel”. He also said that police incompetence and “perhaps a sense of hidden support” is increasing. (Read the full article here.)

Through her Instagram page, Argamani clarified that the Qassam Brigades did not harm her physically or cut her hair, but she sustained injuries when a wall collapsed during an Israeli airstrike. “I cannot stay silent about what the Israeli media has done to me over the past 24 hours, taking my words out of context,” she stated, adding: “I am a victim of the October 7 operation, and I refuse to be victimized again by the Israeli media.” Argamani explained that Al-Qassam members “did not hit me while I was in captivity, nor did they cut my hair.” “I was injured by the collapse of a wall caused by an Israeli airstrike,” she highlighted. In June, the Israeli military announced that Argamani and three other Israeli prisoners were rescued during a military operation in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, which resulted in the killing and injuring of hundreds of Palestinian civilians. Since her return, Argamani has expressed frustration over the distortion of her accounts, particularly concerning her treatment while in Gaza. (Read the full article here.) NOTE: In reality, many of the released Israeli captives have been in good health. They described their fear of being bombed by Israel, but did not report torture or rape (for which at least one was harassed). In the case of Noa Argamni, reportedly the worst complaints she had of her captors was that she “had to cook and wash dishes for the family,” and was not able to shower often. She was able to walk outside, but “was forced to dress like a Palestinian woman.” Released Gaza captive declines Netanyahu ‘PR’ meeting Al Jazeera reports: Margalit Moses, a 77-year-old Israeli who was freed from captivity in Gaza in November, has declined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s invitation to meet him today, saying she believes it would be a publicity stunt. “Thank you for the invitation, but I will not take part in the meeting for photography and public relations purposes while my friends are languishing in the Hamas tunnels in Gaza,” she wrote in a public statement. “In light of the reports of another [hostage-ceasefire] deal being thwarted on your part to release the abductees, I see no reason to come to a meeting with someone who proves by his actions that releasing the hostages is not top of mind and abandons them to their deaths,” she added. Moses was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz along with her ex-husband Gadi Moshe Moses during the Hamas-led assault on southern Israel on October 7. Gadi remains in captivity in Gaza. War will continue, even with a deal: Israeli official From Times of Israel: An Israeli official told The Times of Israel that a ceasefire deal would not mean the end of the war in Gaza. “So long as Hamas doesn’t agree to a deal, we will continue fighting,” the official was quoted as saying. “Even if they do, the war will continue. Of course, if there is a deal, there will be a lull in the fighting in the first stage. But we will continue fighting until we achieve all of our war aims.” The insistence on the war continuing echoes the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has himself insisted that any ceasefire deal still allow the Israelis to continue to attack Gaza, despite the US insistence that a deal would lead to an end to the war. Hamas has repeatedly stated that any deal to secure the release of captives held in Gaza lead to a lasting ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the enclave.

[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 637 in the West Bank (~147 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 46,848 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 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 18 from West Bank). At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition**. 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 – August 22: at least 98,401 (including at least 93,144 in Gaza and 5,420 in the West Bank, including 830 children).

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. ***Approximately ten of the deaths listed above were Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah in fighting at the Israel-Lebanon border. The figure does not include the reportedly 53 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.

Violence against West Bank Palestinians intensifies, as Gaza’s “safe” space shrinks – Day 313 [email protected] August 16, 2024 amputation, arms embargo, ceasefire, east jerusalem water crisis, evacuation, israeli economy, israeli outposts, israeli settler violence, pogrom, west bank deaths The taps have run dry in Jerusalem’s largest Palestinian neighborhood +972 Magazine reports: In the searing heat of summer, Jerusalem’s largest Palestinian neighborhood is facing a major water crisis. Since June, residents of Kufr ‘Aqab have been receiving just 2 to 12 hours of water per week. Their complaints have been redirected from one official to the next, yet no one has provided them with a solution — nor taken responsibility for the problem. Located within Jerusalem’s northeastern municipal boundary but severed from the rest of the city by the separation wall, Kufr ‘Aqab’s residents have grown accustomed to the systematic neglect they face from the Israeli authorities. But the current crisis is the worst it’s ever been. During the few hours that the water does flow, residents try to do everything they can with it: take showers, do laundry, and clean the house. The rest of the time, they are forced to buy water from private suppliers and store it in containers on the roofs of their apartment blocks. “We have hospitals, nurseries, and schools in the area,” Iyad Sanduka, a member of the neighborhood’s residents’ committee, told +972 Magazine and Local Call. “Everyone suffers from the water shortage.” Despite the fact that the majority of the neighborhood is officially part of Jerusalem, Kufr ‘Aqab doesn’t receive water from the municipal water supplier, Hagihon. Instead, like Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank, water is provided by the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) — an arm of the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority (PA) — which purchases it from the Israeli national water company, Mekorot. This is symptomatic of Israel’s system of water apartheid in the occupied territories: Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are denied control of the aquifers under their feet, and must instead buy the water back in limited quantities from Israel. While Israelis have access to an average of 300 liters of water per day, Palestinians in the West Bank enjoy only 80 liters — 20 liters less than the World Health Organization’s recommended daily quantity. For Palestinians in Gaza, it is currently as low as 3 liters. (Read the full article here.) RECOMMENDED READING: ‘Buying Our Own Stolen Water’ in Bethlehem – Scorching Summer Awaits Palestinians in the West Bank New York Times reports: Israel has achieved all that it can militarily in Gaza, according to senior American officials, who say continued bombings are only increasing risks to civilians while the possibility of further weakening Hamas has diminished. With the Biden administration racing to get cease-fire negotiations back on track, a growing number of national security officials across the government said that the Israeli military had severely set back Hamas but would never be able to completely eliminate the group. Israel has made bold claims about the number Hamas deaths, without proof. But one of Israel’s biggest remaining goals — the return of the roughly 115 living and dead hostages still held in Gaza after being seized in the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks — cannot be achieved militarily, according to current and former American and Israeli officials. Israel’s most recent military operations have been something of a Whac-a-Mole strategy in the eyes of American analysts. U.S. officials are skeptical that approach will yield decisive results. While Israel has tried to damage the tunnels, it has failed to destroy them, American officials said. The network has proved much larger than Israel anticipated, and it remains an effective way for Hamas to hide its leaders and move around fighters. And even as the Israel Defense Forces have seized territory and killed Hamas fighters from north to south of the territory, they have repeatedly had to go back in as Hamas fighters regrouped. For example, Israel weakened Hamas’s grip in the Jabaliya camp, in northern Gaza, but had to return to the area in May after the group reconstituted in the power vacuum. Biden administration officials say diplomacy is the only way that Israel can achieve possibly its biggest goal — getting its hostages back. Israeli economy on the brink as it awaits retaliation from Resistance Axis The Cradle reports: The Israeli economy is on the ropes as the country awaits retaliation for its attacks against Iran, Lebanon, and Yemen over the past month, according to reports in Hebrew media. “These two weeks have exhausted the market, as some economic activities have been canceled, and another part has been reduced due to public fear,” the economic affairs commentator for Israel’s Channel 13 News said on 15 August. Israel’s tourism industry, in particular, has recorded massive losses due to the broad cancellation of flights by international airlines. Israel’s education sector will also be severely affected if the wait continues into September, as institutions will have to “maneuver within combat scenarios,” according to the Israeli broadcaster. The Israeli economy has already taken several hits 10 months into the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, with the most recent one being the decision by US financial services firm Fitch to downgrade the nation’s credit rating. UN rapporteur says ‘shocking’ 40,000 deaths in Gaza were preventable Al Jazeera reports: UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese says the “shocking” death toll in Gaza, which has reached a landmark 40,000 people, was predictable and avoidable as United Nations experts have long issued warnings and called for international action to stop the violence. In spite of this, the UN Security Council and other international bodies have failed to stop the conflict. “The moral abyss in which [Israel has] fallen is hard to comprehend,” Albanese told Al Jazeera, adding that the war in Gaza points to “an epic failure of the system of international law that was built after World War II to prevent and punish crimes such as this”. The conflict also shed light on the “hypocrisy” in the legal system, where “a few countries have the power to determine to whom international law can be applied and to whom it cannot”.

Their goal is to “force the Democratic Party to listen to its voters and not just its donors. We demand concrete results from the current Biden-Harris Administration to end the Gaza Genocide and a credible commitment from a Harris-Walz ticket which will pressure Israel to achieve a just and lasting solution to the illegal occupation of Palestine.” “We hereby pledge to vote Democratic on November 5th only if the current administration: 1) enforces an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, as ordered by the World Court and UN Security Council Resolution 2735 or 2) ends all military aid to Israel.” The pledge can be viewed and signed here. Pledging arms embargo on Israel would help Harris gain more voter support: Poll Middle East Eye reports: According to a new poll, roughly one-third of Democratic Party voters in the US states of Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania have said they are more likely to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election if she were to agree to stop sending arms to Israel. In Pennsylvania, 34 percent of voters were more likely to vote for Harris if she agreed to the arms embargo, while 44 percent were more likely to vote for her if Biden achieved a ceasefire. In Georgia, an arms embargo would make 39 percent of voters more likely to vote for Harris, and a ceasefire would similarly make 44 percent of voters more likely to choose the vice president. Arizona showed similar numbers, with 35 percent of voters more inclined to choose Harris if she agreed to an arms embargo on Israel, while 41 percent of voters would do so if Biden achieved a ceasefire in Gaza.

Here are excerpts from the letter, which was delivered to the State Department on Thursday morning with a request to meet with the Secretary of State. Dear Secretary Blinken, Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed more than 160 Palestinian journalists. This is the largest recorded number of journalists killed in any war. While Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of the densely populated Gaza means no civilians are safe, Israel has also been repeatedly documented deliberately targeting journalists. Israel’s military actions are not possible without U.S. weapons, U.S. military aid, and U.S. diplomatic support. By providing the weapons being used to deliberately kill journalists, you are complicit in one of the gravest affronts to press freedom today. On World Press Freedom Day this year, you called on “every nation to do more to protect journalists,” and reiterated your “unwavering support for free and independent media around the world.” As journalists, publications and press freedom groups in solidarity with the courageous Palestinian journalists of Gaza, we call on you to do more to protect journalists and show unwavering support for free and independent media by supporting an arms embargo against Israel… Under international law, the intentional targeting of journalists is a war crime.5 While all governments are bound by international law protecting reporters, U.S. domestic law also prohibits the State Department from providing assistance to units of foreign security forces credibly accused of gross violations of human rights.6 Israel’s well-documented pattern of extrajudicial executions of journalists is a gross violation of human rights. Additionally, the First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the American people’s right to receive information and ideas.7 Israel’s deliberate targeting of journalists follows a longstanding pattern by the Israeli government to suppress truthful reporting on its treatment of Palestinians and its war in Gaza. By providing Israel with the weapons used to kill journalists, the State Department is abetting Israel’s violent suppression of journalism. The U.S. is providing the weapons Israel continually uses to target Palestinian journalists in Gaza. This is a violation of International law and U.S. domestic law. We urge you to immediately cease the transfer of all weapons to Israel.

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 632 in the West Bank (~145 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 46,848 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 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 18 from West Bank). At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition**. 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 – August 15: at least 97,821 (including at least 92,401 in Gaza and 5,420 in the West Bank, including 830 children).

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. ***Approximately ten of the deaths listed above were Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah in fighting at the Israel-Lebanon border. The figure does not include the reportedly 41 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.

Palestinians’ harrowing stories of rape by Israeli soldiers (including female soldiers) [email protected] August 11, 2024 palestinian prisoners, prison rape, Sde Teiman, sexual violence A new investigation from Israeli human rights organization reports that Israel is carrying on a "systematic, institutional policy focused on the continual abuse and torture of all Palestinian prisoners held by Israel." (screengrab) Two stories of Israeli sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners, and the sadistic reason why they do it After spending eight months in Israeli detention, Ibrahim Salem was released last week and is now in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza (MEE/Mohammed al-Hajjar) After spending eight months in Israeli detention, Ibrahim Salem was released last week and is now in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza (MEE/Mohammed al-Hajjar) (photo) ‘Raped by female soldiers’: Palestinian in leaked Sde Teiman photo speaks out The man in the famous photo, Ibrahim Salem, spent eight months in Israeli detention, where rape, electrocution and beatings were routine By Mohammed al-Hajjar in Deir al-Balah, occupied Palestine and Nader Durgham in Beirut, reposted from Middle East Eye, August 8, 2024 Editor’s note: This article contains distressing details Blindfolded, arms behind his head and standing by the barbed wire fence of the Israeli Sde Teiman detention camp. It was one of the first photos leaked from the notorious army base, where thousands of Palestinian prisoners were held without charge and routinely tortured. The man in the picture, Ibrahim Salem, was released last week after nearly eight months of detention. He told Middle East Eye that the photo, first published by CNN, was just the tip of the iceberg of his horrific experience in detention, which included rape, electrocution and frequent beatings. “Most of the prisoners will come out with rectum injuries [caused by the sexual assault],” Salem, 36, told Middle East Eye. The prisoners will tell each other it is hemorrhoids, he added, but most are just avoiding admitting they had been raped, sometimes by female soldiers. In the following eyewitness account, Salem recalls his ordeal, starting from his arrest at a hospital in Gaza until his release. The abduction Salem was in the intensive care unit in northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital when Israeli forces raided the facility in December 2023. He stayed beside his children, who were severely wounded in an Israeli strike on their home. His siblings, along with several of their children, were killed in the attack. “When the army came in, they asked for all the men to go down to the square,” Salem said. But the doctor handed him his children’s reports and instructed him to stay with them in the ICU to explain their critical condition to the soldiers if they came. “The army came in and asked me: ‘What are you doing here?’ So I gave them the reports and told them in Arabic: ‘Those are my children; they cannot move in the ICU.’ And they were truly in a coma, two of them and the third one was burned,” he recalled. “Another soldier held the reports, read them and told them ‘take him’.” As Salem was taken alongside many other men, Israeli soldiers ordered them to take off their clothes before being placed in a big hole at an unknown location. There, under the rain, soldiers started beating and insulting the Palestinians, who had their hands and legs tied. Salem says the insults included “we fucked the Nukhba [an elite unit in Hamas’ military wing]” and “we fucked your mother”. “They went to the man near me and told him: ‘Raise your head.’ So, he did that and they told him: ‘Say, I am the son of a whore. Say, my sister is a whore.’ And things like that, and the man would repeat after them.” Eventually, the group of roughly 100 men was taken to a detention centre in the Negev desert. They were left in their underwear while it rained for two nights before being given light overalls and taken to the barracks, he said. “Of course, your hands are tied behind your back, your legs are also tied and you are blindfolded.” In the cell, the prisoners’ legs were untied but they were left without food for two days. One small bottle of water was shared among all of them. Afterwards, they were called in one by one for interrogations. Sde Teiman One day, Salem complained, asking the soldiers why he was detained and what he might have done. That is when he was taken to Sde Teiman, an Israeli military base doubling as a detention camp for Palestinians taken from Gaza since Israel launched its ground invasion of the besieged enclave in October of last year. “It was the worst nightmare,” Salem said about the 52 days he spent at Sde Teiman. Detainees were punished regularly there and constantly insulted by guards in what he called an attempt to “harm you mentally”. “Anyone who moves in a certain way gets punished. If you ask to go to the bathroom, you get punished,” he explained. “You stand on one leg for two hours, then they would tell you: ‘Do you want me to help you?’ And when you say yes, they tell you to say, ‘I am the son of a whore, I am the brother of a whore’, to say ‘Netanyahu fucked my sister, am Yisrael chai [the people of Israel live]. Now repeat after me, am Yisrael chai! Am Yisrael chai! A hundred times’.” “They would say: ‘No, I didn’t like that, repeat it once more.’ And you keep repeating it hundreds of times and then you see that you have been standing for two hours, so all this was for nothing.” Then there was the beating, he said. “I remember a chair was broken on my chest. While I was tied and handcuffed, he slammed a chair [on me] and it broke on my chest. I do not know [why].” During that incident, the soldier was on the phone with his girlfriend, Salem added. He turned the screen to him and had his girlfriend insult him as well. “He would tell me: ‘We will play football with your heads in Gaza. We will turn Gaza into a football field to play with your heads and your women’s heads.” Electrocution Some of the worst forms of torture took place during interrogations. One time, when Salem confronted a soldier over the killing of his young nephews, his punishment was electrocution. “He asked me where the rockets were and where the hostages were. You are asking me? What do I have to do with the hostages and how am I supposed to know where they are anyway?” “I was in Kamal Adwan [Hospital]. You killed my siblings; you bombed our home. How am I supposed to know where the hostages are?” When Salem said this to his interrogator, the soldier replied: “We don’t kill children.” “What about my sister’s children, aged three and five, are those soldiers?” Salem replied. “This is not a soldier. The kid was five. My sister wanted to just shower her children on a Friday. Is she a fighter? And what about my kids? What did they do to you? Did they participate in the 7 October attack? You kill children.” The soldier then brought a chair, got someone to blindfold Salem and tied his hands as he asked him why he spoke like that. “I noticed that he was glueing something on me. Then I started shaking. He was electrocuting me. “He electrocuted me in sensitive spots and hit me in these spots.” Raped by female soldiers Another traumatic episode for many prisoners like Salem was the sexual abuse. Though it was rampant, inmates rarely spoke about it to each other, he said. It was embarrassing for many to admit, especially when they were raped by female soldiers, who were sometimes in their teens. It was common practice for soldiers to strip detainees naked, insert objects into their rectum and grab their genitals aggressively when they changed. When word got around that a prisoner in his 40s was raped, Salem kept getting close to him until he told him what happened to him. “He told me he was raped by a female soldier,” Salem told MEE. When he asked him how it happened, the prisoner explained it would take place in the presence of another soldier in the room. The prisoner would be bent over a desk with his hands placed in front of him, handcuffed. The female soldier, standing behind him, would insert her fingers and other objects into his rectum. When he reacted or moved back, the soldier standing in front of him would hit him in the head and force him to bend again. It was one of many stories he heard in detention, Salem added. Salem said he was also touched in his private parts by a female soldier and had objects inserted in his rectum at some point. ‘Exposing the occupation’ Salem spent 52 days in Sde Teiman, a few nights in Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank and most of his detention in the Negev. He was released along with 14 other detainees last week, left at a checkpoint near Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Initially, he thought the war might have been over, but a soldier told him: “The war will not end until we kill you all.” They were warned that anyone looking back would be shot and soldiers started shooting when Salem slowed down to help a released woman. They eventually made it to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. When asked about the photo that went viral, Salem said it was taken during a five- or six-hour punishment he was enduring, as he heard a camera click at the time. He had argued with a soldier after they let a prisoner urinate himself by preventing him from using the bathroom. Salem was made to remain in that position for long hours, a punishment that, he said, does not begin to describe the ordeal he faced in detention. “There are greater punishments, greater beatings,” he said. “Nothing was more humiliating than when they made me take off my clothes, or when they inserted this object into my butt, or when a young female soldier kept [touching my penis].” “But it is good that people saw the reality of the occupation and I insist on exposing the occupation. “This is the message of every prisoner I have spoken to.” Earlier this week, Israeli rights group B’Tselem said the Israeli government has been conducting a policy of institutionalized torture against all Palestinian detainees since 7 October. Torture was recorded in civilian and military detention facilities across Israel, leading to the deaths of at least 60 Palestinians while in Israeli custody in less than 10 months. The systematic nature of the abuse across all facilities left “no room to doubt an organized, declared policy of the Israeli prison authorities”. The policy has effectively turned Israeli prisons into “torture camps,” the rights group said. In its 182-page report, B’Tselem said the torture prisoners faced included: “frequent acts of severe, arbitrary violence; sexual assault; humiliation and degradation, deliberate starvation; forced unhygienic conditions; sleep deprivation, prohibition on, and punitive measures for, religious worship; confiscation of all communal and personal belongings; and denial of adequate medical treatment.” The Israeli violations against Palestinian detainees amounted to war crimes and even a crime against humanity, B’Tselem said.

Second article: Israeli rape of detainees is the result of a society that sees Palestinians as ‘human animals’ A still image, captured from a video recently released, shows Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian prisoner, hiding their faces, and taking cover behind shields to avoid being seen on cameras. A still image, captured from a video recently released, shows Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian prisoner, hiding their faces, and taking cover behind shields to avoid being seen on cameras. (screenshot) Israel has claimed that it is fighting “human animals” in Gaza. But now, Israeli society’s own monstrous sadism, deriving from a deep hate of Palestinians, is on display for the rest of the world to see. by Jonathan Ofir, reposted from Mondoweiss, August 6, 2024 On August 3, Shaiel Ben-Ephraim shared an interview on social media with two Israeli security officials involved in the Sde Teiman torture facility, which has become a cause célèbre for right-wing protesters demanding the right of Israelis to gang rape Palestinian prisoners with impunity. Ben-Ephraim is an academic who left UCLA as a post-doctorate following allegations of sexual harassment. He describes himself as “Israel analyst. Fighting for liberal democracy. Fanatic Mets fan. Host of Israel Explained and History of the Land of Israel.” Ben-Ephraim describes his two sources, saying that “the IDF source is quite high up. The other source is not but works there every day.” The “IDF source” says: “The 100 unit has been assigned to guard the prisoners. Their job is supposed to be to intervene when there is disorder. They are rough people. So they are guarding the prisoners. You are letting animals guard animals without supervision and in nightmarish conditions.” This is an interesting usage of the idea of “human animals,” a description first uttered during this genocide by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant on October 9, saying “we are fighting human animals and we act accordingly.” The interviewed security personnel provide the emotional rationale for the sadistic torture enacted upon the Palestinians, it is a hate crime geared toward revenge. The “facility source” says: “Everyone who served in Gaza is full of hatred. They have an urge to release the animal in them. Anyone who is put in a room with those who raped their girlfriends or killed their friends without supervision – will get whatever we got.” So they believe their girlfriends got raped or killed by Hamas. This doesn’t need any evidence as such, and it doesn’t matter whether those people whom they are torturing are involved in any way: “They all tell us they are innocent. So we don’t believe any of them. But yeah, some probably did nothing wrong.” It is at this point worth remembering Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s claim from October 14 that there are simply no “uninvolved civilians” in Gaza. The “facility source” knows this is bad and that it shouldn’t be done, but “things happen”: “Things happen. Bad things. People have been beaten. People have been killed. I saw one person die. People have been sexually assaulted. Yes. Nothing compared to what they did. But we all know we shouldn’t be doing it.” To date, at least 36 Palestinians have died under torture in this facility. But somehow, it doesn’t compare, it’s “nothing compared to what they did.” The murdered Palestinians are kept in refrigerators at the base. The “IDF source” says: “Another thing nobody talks about is all the bodies in fridges near the holding pens. There is no place to store them. Just containers full of dead bodies of inmates.” And there is simply no oversight: “There is not a single security officer on sight to oversee. So that even if there is a major event no one is responsible.” The level of sadism enacted upon Palestinians really defies description. Palestinians are now coming forth with the most graphic details about their sexual torture, like this victim on video (trigger warning): “I’ve been shocked by electricity through my anus. I’ve been shocked by electricity on my testicles! This is literally what happened to me – not just me but others who were shocked by electricity. You know why? Because we refused to speak dirty of [Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya] al-Sinwar. You can imagine what I’m saying… Just because I refused to spill out the dirty words, they said ok and then five of them gathered around me, five soldiers, they came to beat me up. One of them forced me to lie down on my back, he opened my thighs and smashed my private area – he literally smashed my testicles. He said: ‘I don’t want you to have kids anymore’.” One must reflect upon the additional humiliation of speaking like this about one’s own person and body, openly. But these people have been subjected to such physical and emotional destruction, that they are now shouting out to the world to make it stop, not least for their brethren still undergoing this torture. It is shocking, but is it shocking to the majority of Israelis? The fact is Israelis have been consuming snuff videos of these torture facilities at least since the beginning of this year, where coverage of the systemic torture has appeared on several Israeli mainstream channels. Has there been outcry? When there has been criticism of the soldiers actions, it was primarily couched in terms of how these actions reflect on Israel, not on the legality or morality of the abuse. In fact, Israeli leaders have even implicitly justified these heinous actions even while condemning them. “There were days when [the military investigators] applauded us.” In the end, any Israeli leaders who have come out in support of the investigations of those accused of raping Palestinian detainees have done so simply for public relations reasons, not for anything more. Remember, Israel is currently facing multiple international legal cases, at ICJ for genocide, and at ICC for crimes against humanity (arrest warrants sought for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Galant), and similar to those charges, the threat of the accusations of rape is seen primarily as an optics issue for Israel, not a legal one. Netanyahu just likens the ICC Chief Prosecutor to a Nazi judge and incites more biblical revenge. Now, the sadism of sexual torture is becoming so obvious it is starting to reflect on Israel’s image and thus, President Isaac Herzog issued a call for calm, to allow the gang rape investigations to occur without the brouhaha of mass protests at army bases against the proceedings. Being a liberal racist and genocide inciter, Herzog’s message qualified that “hate” towards “the damned Nukhba terrorists” was “surely understood and justified.” But we must consider that “our enemies” are “persecuting us”, also in the “international legal arena”: “The morality of IDF and its soldiers has always been our pride, towards ourselves and towards the family of nations and international law. This morality stood and stands tested also against the most cruel of enemies, among them the damned Nukhba terrorists, the hate towards whom is surely understood and justified. We must not forget that our enemies attempt to persecute us again and again, also in the international legal arena – the commanders, the fighters and the public representatives. We must under no circumstances provide them with allegations against IDF and the state of Israel.” In other words, Israel should be showing itself as managing the few bad apples in a serious way, so that the persecutors (who are also prosecutors) are countered with Israel having certain legal processes which should thus be sufficient to rebuff international legal intervention. But it really is too late for that. Israel’s genocide is so massive, that prosecution of a few bad apples won’t change it. The Israeli narrative of hate and revenge is so encompassing, that it will have its outlets in one way or another, whether it is a soldier smashing testicles, or a soldier blowing up a whole building in Gaza as a photo-op. To judge by the testimony of one of the rape suspects, the “interrogation” was a sham anyway. “You feel they [the interrogators from Military Police] want to thank you”, he said. “There were days when they applauded us.” Human animals There is now apparently nothing that Israelis can do which Israeli leaders wouldn’t try to justify. What they are fighting against has been defined authoritatively (as far as they are concerned) as inhuman, so there is no way to apply human rights here – human rights apply to humans, not to “human animals.” The response to this is also beyond rationality – “hate” is now sanctioned by the highest authority as “understood and justified.” Everything is understood through this lens, and if Israeli soldiers end up acting like animals, it’s only a natural response to the real animals. Israel’s late Defense Minister Moshe Dayan once said “Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother,” and this ‘mad dog’ and ‘master of the house gone mad’ doctrine has instructed Israel for many decades. Variations on this idea have been repeated by Israeli officials time and again. Former Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon, the initiator of the false flag terror attack on Cairo in 1954, advocated “going crazy” if ever Israel were crossed. During the 2006 war with Lebanon, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Palestinians need to understand that “the master of the house has gone mad,” while promising “James Bond-type operations, bim bam!” After Israel’s 2008-9 Gaza onslaught, Operation Cast Lead, Israel’s Foreign Minister at the time, Tzipi Livni, stated that “our troops in the Gaza strip behaved like hooligans, which I demanded of them.” She also stated that Israel “is a country that when you fire on its citizens it responds by going wild — and this is a good thing.” Israel has indeed gone wild, and is apparently trying to behave like a mad dog. But whatever happens, it’s “nothing compared to what they did.” Every accusation is a confession. Israel has claimed that it is fighting “human animals.” But now, its own monstrous sadism, deriving from a deep hate of Palestinians (which didn’t first start on October 7), is on display for the rest of the world to see. The “self-defense” claim, which was reportedly used by the lawyers defending the gang rape suspects, is something that Israel has been using for everything it does to Palestinians.

Decapitated child among victims of latest Khan Younis massacre as assault intensifies The Cradle reports: Israeli forces massacred at least 17 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday 28 July, including four children, one of them a baby who was decapitated by Israeli bombs, amid a broader assault on the southern city of Khan Younis. Twelve Palestinians were killed in a strike on a home in the center of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, and five others were killed in a bombing of a tent west of the southern city. An Israeli drone strike killed one Palestinian in Deir al-Balah. Sniper fire from an Israeli quadcopter drone killed another in Gaza City in the north, the channel added. Images spread on social media of Palestinian babies killed in Sunday’s strikes, including one whose head was blown off. Israel began a renewed military campaign in Khan Younis a week ago, forcing 180,000 Palestinians to flee their homes and seek refuge in squalid tent cities in Al-Mawasi on the Gaza coast. Israeli forces have bombed Al-Mawasi multiple times over previous months despite designating it as a so-called “humanitarian zone.” On 13 July, an Israeli assault killed 90 people in Al-Mawasi.

However, following the incident in Majdal Shams, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suspended this decision, the reports said. Tania Hary, executive director at Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, said the children were meant to leave tomorrow via Israel’s Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing. 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.

(collage) UNRWA says only 14 percent of Gaza not under evacuation orders UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini says Israeli evacuation orders create “havoc” and “panic” among the population of the Gaza Strip. “Almost everyone in Gaza has been impacted by these orders. Many were forced to flee on average once a month since the war began nine months ago,” Lazzarini said on X. “This evacuation tactic only brings more misery, fear and suffering for people who have nothing to do with this war.” Embed from Getty Images The IDF Just Destroyed a Key Rafah Water Facility Rachel Corrie Spent Her Last Month of Life Defending DropSite News reports: On Friday, I discovered a video posted on Instagram by an Israeli soldier from the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion, showing the calculated demolition of a chief water facility in Rafah. The video—which is captioned in Hebrew, “Destruction of the Tal Sultan water reservoir in honor of Shabbat”—ends with footage of the water facility being blown up. When some described the post as evidence of war crimes, the soldier quickly made his account private and deleted the stories. The water facility, also known as the Canada Well, is situated in the western part of Rafah city. U.S. human rights activist Rachel Corrie, who was crushed to death in 2003 by an Israeli military bulldozer while attempting to prevent demolitions in the city, spent much of her time during the last month of her life helping to protect the municipality workers at the Canada Well. [NOTE: Read about Rachel Corrie here.] For months, Israeli forces have been targeting vital water resources in the strip leading to starvation and, according to new reports, worsening access to clean water. The Canada well is the main water facility in the city of Rafah and provides services to 50 percent of the city’s residents, mainly in West Rafah. Monther Shoblaq, Director General of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility, told Drop Site in an interview that his organization had provided the Israeli military with precise GPS coordinates for the Canada Well and all water facilities in the Strip, in coordination with the Red Cross. Despite these precautions, the well was blown up. “I was shocked when I saw the video. It’s not just that they targeted this water facility; it’s the fact that they planted explosives, celebrated the act on Instagram, and did so under the guise of honoring the Sabbath. It’s deeply cruel.” HA’ARETZ ADDS: The reservoir was destroyed last week with the approval of the commander of the soldiers, who belong to the 401st Brigade of the Armored Corps, but without the approval of senior officers from the IDF Southern Command. The Israeli army says it is investigating the incident as a possible violation of international law. NOTE: While this individual act may be a violation of international law, it is only one of many, much more serious violations. Israel is, according to the ICJ, plausibly committing genocide, illegal occupation, apartheid, extermination, and a targeted campaign of starvation – to name a few. Embed from Getty Images Syria attributes deadly Golan strike to Israel, denounces attempts to expand war The Cradle reports: The Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on 28 July that Israel is trying to ignite the region by blaming Hezbollah for the strike in the Syrian Druze town of Majdal Shams in the occupied Golan Heights a day earlier. “People in occupied Golan, who have refused for decades to give up their Syrian Arab identity, will not be fooled by the occupation’s false accusations that Lebanese national resistance shelled Majdal Shams.” Hezbollah officials declared that the group targets only military positions. Twelve Syrian children were killed when a missile fell on a soccer field in Majdal Shams in the occupied Golan Heights Saturday. Israel immediately blamed Hezbollah and rejected the Lebanese resistance group’s statement on 27 July, categorically denying its involvement in the incident. Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that it was an Israeli Iron Dome interceptor missile that fell on the field, according to an Al-Arabi TV correspondent who spoke with a member of Israel’s ambulance service, Magen David Adom. A military expert cited by Sputnik said, “the missile that exploded in Majdal Shams was 100 percent Israeli, and we are faced with two possibilities: either a malfunction in the performance of the Israeli air defense systems, or a deliberate launch to achieve specific goals.” Residents of the town have refused Israeli citizenship and continue to view themselves as Syrians. The Druze community in Majdal Shams called on Israel not to politicize the incident. However, Israeli officials have used it to reinforce calls for launching a broader war against Lebanon. Israeli officials have vowed escalation. “Hezbollah will not escape punishment for this incident” and will “pay a heavy price,” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Sunday. AL JAZEERA ADDS: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said the country’s security cabinet has authorized himself and the defense minister to decide when and how Israel responds to the deadly attack. Lebanese officials say they do not want war and have called for an international probe into the attack. From Kamala Harris’ spokesperson: “The Vice President has been briefed and is closely monitoring Hezbollah’s horrific attack on a soccer field in Majdal Shams in northern Israel yesterday which killed a number of children and teenagers. She condemns this horrific attack and mourns for all those killed and wounded. “Israel continues to face severe threats to its security, and the Vice President’s support for Israel’s security is ironclad,” Gordon said in a statement. “Every indication is that indeed the rocket was from Hezbollah,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a visit to Japan, without elaborating on the existence of any evidence. PPS: 256 Palestinian detainees have died in Israeli prisons since 1967 The Palestine Information Center reports: The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) has said in a statement issued on Sunday that 256 Palestinians have died in prison since 1967; there are 28 prisoners whose bodies are still being held by Israeli authorities. 17 of the 28 have died since October 7th, and their bodies have not been returned to their families for burial, the PPS added. The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continue to escalate their arrest campaigns in the West Bank, coinciding with the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip. Since October 7th, 9,845 Palestinians have been rounded up by the IOF troops. Since 1967, one million Palestinians have been arrested by Israel. Embed from Getty Images In Israel’s Ofer prison, torture, starvation, medical neglect, deprivation of basic rights have led to suicide attempts WAFA reports: The crackdown on Palestinian detainees at the Israeli occupation’s Ofer Prison has reached a crisis point, with reports of severe mistreatment, including systematic starvation, since October 7, 2023, according to a lawyer from the Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Authority. The lawyer, who recently visited Ofer Prison, southwest of Ramallah, reported seven suicide attempts by detainees due to the dire conditions, brutal treatment by guards, and the use of hunger and medical neglect as forms of collective punishment. The detainees are subjected to beatings during arrest and in prison, especially if they are late for roll call or fail to wake up at the designated time (4 a.m.) each day. One detainee suffered severe burns while taking a shower with excessively hot water, a situation resulting from the prison administration’s control over water temperature. This detainee has not received medical treatment for the burns. Additionally, Amr Abu Khalil, a cancer patient, was assaulted while being transferred for chemotherapy treatment, only to later be informed that his treatment session had been canceled. Another detainee, Bashir Zaghloul Khatib from Birzeit, has been subjected to severe beatings during his arrest and has lost over 12 kilograms since his detention on February 18, 2023. The lawyer also highlighted the severe overcrowding in the prison, with at least 11 detainees confined to each cell. Five of them must sleep on the floor while the others share metal bunk beds. They lack basic necessities, including adequate clothing, blankets, and food. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is also in charge of the prisons where Palestinians are being detained, recently declared, “The conditions of the terrorists in the prisons have indeed worsened and I am proud of that”. *NOTE: The use of the word “terrorist” for a group that resists occupation and oppression is a political, not fact-based choice. In reality, international law supports the efforts of resistance groups against an occupying power, the UN extending that right to the point of armed resistance. Israel is currently holding about 9,700 Palestinian prisoners in inhumane conditions where many are systematically tortured – 250 of them are children, 79 are women, and over 3,300 are administrative detainees – being held without charge or trial. Administrative detention is intended to be used only in “exceptional” circumstances, but Israel uses it widely. Read more here.

(photo) Israeli military police raid Sde Teiman detention facility to arrest soldiers accused of torture; soldiers fight back Ha’aretz reports: Military Police officers raided the Sde Teiman Prison on Monday and detained several soldiers on suspicion of abusing a Palestinian detainee. According to a security source, the detainee was taken to a hospital with severe injuries in an intimate place – injuries that left him without the ability to walk. According to a security source, during the arrest of the soldiers at the Sde Teiman detention facility, a confrontation developed between military police personnel and some of the soldiers who refused to evacuate, and barricaded themselves in the facility. It was also reported that soldiers used pepper spray at military police personnel. One soldier was recorded saying: “We will unite against the IDF arresting our fellow soldiers”. Another soldier said: “The military police came to arrest us because we are responsible for Nukhba [elite] terrorists. Every Israeli should go out into the streets for us, I am not ready for the shame of being arrested – I gave my life for you, for my country”. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir responded to the reports, saying, “the spectacle of military police officers coming to arrest our best heroes in the Sde Teiman detention facility is nothing less than shameful…Soldiers need to have our full support.” ‘I can’t justify this military operation any more’: the IDF reservists refusing to return to Gaza The Guardian reports: For Israeli military paramedic Yuval Green, it was the command to burn down a house that made him decide to end his reserve duty. Green had spent 50 days in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis earlier this year with his paratrooper unit, sleeping in a home lit only by battery-powered fairy lights among the rubble and devastation. He had begun to have doubts about the unit’s purpose there months earlier when he heard about Israel’s refusal to agree to Hamas’s demands to end the war, along with freeing hostages. Green is one of three Israeli reservists who told the Observer they will not return if called for military service in Gaza. All three previously undertook compulsory military service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which forms the backbone of society. They returned after the 7 October attacks by Hamas militants, when almost 1,200 people were killed in towns and kibbutzim around Gaza and about 250 taken hostage. But the destructive behavior Green says he witnessed from other soldiers only fueled the misgivings that he carried into Gaza, despairing at what he describes as a cycle of violence. He said he had stayed out of a sense of duty to care for those in his unit, who he knew from his years of compulsory military service. (Read the full article here.) Gaza is one of the most densely populated places on the planet, where before the war 2.3 million people had been living on a 365-square-kilometre (140-square-mile) strip of land. According to satellite analyses by Scher and Jamon Van Den Hoek, an associate professor of geography at Oregon State University, 56.9 percent of Gaza buildings were damaged or destroyed as of April 21, making a total of 160,000.

Muhammad dominated Edwards throughout the five-round bout, which saw Muhammad win by unanimous decision. Due to the ongoing Israeli genocide in Muhammad’s homeland, which has killed tens of thousands in Gaza, the undisputed world champ used his massive platform to speak on the only issue that truly mattered. Millions were watching as Muhammad stood with the Golden World championship belt around his waist and declared to the world, “This fight is nothing. This is for my family, my people in Palestine. They’re fighting the real fight. Inshallah, it puts a smile on their face.” Belal Muhammad is a class act who showed his unbreakable spirit, akin to the collective character of his indefatigable people.

[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 591 in the West Bank (~140 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 46,848 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 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 18 from West Bank). At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition**. About 1.7 million, or 75% of Gaza’s population are currently displaced. 2.15 million (out of total population of 2.3 million) are projected to face Crisis or worse levels of food insecurity. Palestinian injuries from October 7 – July 28: at least 96,343 (including at least 90,923 in Gaza and 5,420 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how man Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.] Reported Israeli death toll from October 7 – July 28: ~1,486 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 331 military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 16 in the West Bank) and~8,730 injured. Times of Israel reports: The IDF listed 41 soldiers killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents – nearly 16%. NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries in Israel 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. † 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.

Israeli strike on UN-run school that housed displaced families in Nuseirat kills 23 Palestinians On July 16, an Israeli strike on a United Nations-run school offering housing for displaced families in central Gaza's Nuseirat refugee camp claimed the lives of 23 Palestinians and wounded 73 others. The Israeli strike left the school in al-Razi partially destroyed, and the aftermath of the attack showered debris in the schoolyard and the classrooms used as shelters by displaced Palestinian families. One man collecting body parts from the victims said many civilians were killed, including the lives of several children, whose bodies were "torn up" during the attack, with "nothing left of them." The casualties included Mohammad Meshmesh, a local journalist. According to the government media office in Gaza, this increased the number of journalists killed in the war to 160. The deadly Israeli strike on the school left many people in a state of shock while they watched rescue workers removing several bodies from under the rubble, reported Nuseirat resident Riyad Abu Shanab. The resident added that a quick look around the place offered a chilling view of many "body parts strewn around." He added that he also could have been hurt or died if he hadn't left to go to the toilet to wash his hands when the strike hit. (Related: UN experts: Children in Gaza are dying because of Israel's "targeted starvation campaign.") The target was a school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) that has since been turned into a shelter for the many Gazans displaced by the conflict. Survivors of the attack shared that Israel also targeted another school earlier on July 15. Both attacks have claimed many lives, with the survivors left with nowhere safe to go.

When the missile hit nearby, Um Alaa Abu Daher said she was sitting with her daughter and niece in a classroom on the ground floor. She added that after the strike, flames and smoke covered the area. Israeli forces blame active "terrorists" for the attack The Israeli military has claimed that they attacked the school because "terrorists" were allegedly active in the area. It also said that it will be investigating reports of civilian casualties. Israeli attacks throughout the Gaza Strip on July 16 have claimed the lives of at least 57 Palestinians, including 17 individuals who were killed in a strike near a tented area offering housing for displaced people in the humanitarian-designated area of al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, located in southern Gaza. The attack on al-Mawasi followed previous air strikes earlier this month that claimed the lives of around 88 people and wounded 289 others in a displaced people's camp in the same area. Since October 2023, the Israel-Palestine war has claimed the lives of more than 38,000 Palestinians. According to data, the majority of the dead are women and children. Israel said it had killed or wounded 14,000 Hamas members and eliminated half of the organization's leadership. Israel also insisted that the al-Mawasi strike was targeting Mohammed Deif, the Hamas military leader. However, the Palestinian group denied that he was affected by the attack. The UNRWA reported that Israeli forces have hit at least 70 percent of its schools in Gaza since the war began in October 2023. Posting on X, formerly Twitter, the UNRWA said more than 95 percent of the schools were being used as shelters when they were attacked. The organization added that at least 539 people sheltering in UNRWA facilities have died during the attacks. "Nowhere is safe. The blatant disregard for UN premises and humanitarian law must stop," said the UNRWA. Hamas issued a statement condemning Israel's deliberate attacks on the displaced families in UNRWA's al-Razi school in the Nuseirat camp, along with the attacks on the al-Mawasi area west of the city of Khan Younis, which was "declared a safe area." The group criticized the attacks as a "brutal and shameful act that is a scar on humanity," adding that America, Israel's loyal ally in the ongoing war, was complicit in the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

By IAK staff, from reports. Israel gives 400,000 Palestinians minutes to flee Khan Younis before latest blitz The Cradle reports: The Israeli army ordered the sudden evacuation of over 400,000 Palestinians taking shelter in eastern Khan Younis on 22 July, dropping leaflets in the besieged city moments before warplanes began their raids. At least 77 deaths and 200 wounded have been reported in the aftermath of the attacks. Ha’aretz reports that the death toll from this operation has risen to 89, that 68 are reported missing, and 263 more people were injured. 13 houses in the city were reportedly directly targeted. Authorities at Nasser Medical Complex appealed for urgent blood donations, saying it faces a shortage of blood units, “which poses a serious threat to the lives of the sick and injured in light of the ongoing massacres carried out by the occupation forces against the innocent and civilians.” “The IDF is about to forcefully operate against the terror organizations and therefore calls on the remaining population left in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis to temporarily evacuate to the adjusted humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi,” the Israeli military said in a statement on Monday morning. NOTE: The use of the word “terrorist” for a group that resists occupation and oppression is a political, not fact-based choice. In reality, international law supports the efforts of resistance groups against an occupying power, the UN extending that right to the point of armed resistance. Israeli Army Radio reported that Monday’s air raids in Khan Younis are the most violent since the end of the military operation in the city earlier this year. Local reports say many victims are still under the rubble and scattered along the streets, with ambulance and civil defense crews unable to reach them due to the violent and continuous shelling. AL JAZEERA ADDS: Many fleeing Palestinians are hesitant to join the swelling tent camps in al-Mawasi, declared a humanitarian zone in May, after a recent attack on the area killed at least 92 people and wounded more than 300, according to figures from the Health Ministry. That attack caused global outrage. OCHA ADDS: The new evacuation order by the Israeli military encompasses about 8.7 square kilometres (3.4 square miles) in the so-called “humanitarian zone” in Al Mawasi area of Khan Younis decreases the area of the zone by nearly 15 per cent. Gaza: Israeli army admits abandoning Palestinian man with Down syndrome Middle East Eye reports: The Israeli army has admitted that a Palestinian man with Down syndrome who died after being attacked and injured by an army dog was abandoned by its soldiers. The army’s admission comes two weeks after Middle East Eye originally reported on the death of Muhammed Bhar following a raid by Israeli soldiers on his family home in eastern Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood on 3 July. His family told MEE they had been forced at gunpoint to leave behind the 24-year-old after he was mauled by the dog. Relatives described Muhammed as “like a one-year-old”, and said he needed help eating. Family members contacted the Red Cross daily for a week, pleading for Muhammed’s release or medical treatment, but were told that the Israeli army was not cooperating. After a week, and once Israeli troops withdrew from Shujaiya, they returned to find his decomposing body at their home. An Israeli spokesperson said, “The IDF regrets the harm to civilians during the fighting.” Number of journalists killed in Gaza rises to 163 The Israeli army struck a tent sheltering journalists in Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, central Gaza on Monday . At least one person, journalist Haydar Ibrahim al-Msaddar, was killed while several others were wounded and suffered serious injuries. Msaddar was a media researcher and a specialist in media affairs, according to local authorities. According to his friend and fellow journalist Islam Bader, Msaddar had specialized in the study of propaganda and public opinion. “All the contents in the tent are journalistic equipment,” Youssef al-Hindi, a rescue worker who attended the scene after hearing the explosion, told Middle East Eye. Holding up a press helmet he found at the scene, Hindi said that he believes the journalists’ tent was intentionally targeted. Khalil al-Dakran, a doctor at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, agreed. It was the second time a tent in the grounds of the hospital had been hit, he said. Israeli forces shoot at UN convoy heading for Gaza City Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN agency for Palestinians (UNRWA), said that Israeli forces shot at a UN convoy heading towards Gaza City on Sunday. The movement of the convoy was coordinated and approved by the Israeli authorities. “One vehicle received at least five bullets while waiting just ahead of the Israeli Forces’ checkpoint south of Wadi Gaza,” Lazzarini said on X. “The car was severely damaged, it left the convoy. The teams re-assembled & finally reached Gaza City.” He concluded saying that “those responsible must be held accountable.” Medical Threat: Water and Garbage in Gaza A new report by PAX, an international NGO, highlights the growing public health risks of solid waste exposure in Gaza due to the collapse of the waste management system and blocked access to designated landfills by Israeli forces. The report especially highlighted the potential medical threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), whereby patients in conflict areas fail to respond to antibiotic treatments, which health experts have linked to the degradation and damage of water and wastewater treatment infrastructure as well as to heavy-metal exposure including munition remnants. The environmental consequences of the crisis are also enormous, according to the report, as they can render Gaza wholly uninhabitable and cause grave ecosystem and public health problems in the overall region due to the contamination of agricultural lands and the aquifer and the possible penetration of toxic substances into the food chain. The report presents a number of short-term and long-term recommendations for policymakers.

Israel’s vaccination campaign occurs after an official announcement issued by the Palestinian health ministry said it discovered the spread of the poliovirus in the wastewater in the war-torn, besieged Gaza Strip. “The coastal enclave has been suffering from the lack of medicine and even vaccines that would be enough for the local people to avoid the spread of the poliovirus,” said sources. Meanwhile, Israel claimed “it sent about 300,000 polio vaccines to Gaza in cooperation with international organizations since the beginning of the war […] which is enough for more than a million citizens in Gaza.” “All the Israeli claims are not true […] it seems that the Israeli authorities decided to kill all the Palestinians in Gaza, either through the strikes or diseases and starvation,” Ismail Thawabta, the director of the Palestinian government media office in Gaza, remarked to TNA. HA’ARETZ ADDS: The IDF stresses that the soldiers not make any use of the local Gazan water system, and that the army regularly brings in large quantities of water from Israel, including millions of bottles of water for drinking and bathing, and tons of ice, as well as field showers, soap and disinfectant wipes. According to a recent Lancet study, the death toll in Gaza could be at least 186,000 dead due to direct and indirect impacts of Israel’s war on Gaza.

The first bill prohibits UNRWA from operating any mission, providing any service or conducting any activity on Israeli territory. It was passed 58-9, The Times of Israel newspaper reported. The second bill was approved 63-9 and calls for stripping UNRWA personnel of their legal immunities and privileges offered to UN staff in Israel. The third bill calls for designating the UN agency as a “terrorist organization” and requires Israel to cut ties with it. It was passed by a 50-10 vote. The three bills will now go to the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee for further deliberation. They will require two more readings to become effective. Israel has lobbied hard to have UNRWA closed, especially since it began its war on Gaza in October.

On March 10, Hamas had announced that the two hostages had been killed, but Israeli officials chose to assume the announcement was a bluff, and did not believe it. Now, based on “new, unspecified intelligence,” they have accepted their deaths as fact. The IDF did not disclose the exact circumstances of the hostages’ deaths, but did admit it is likely that they were mistakenly killed by Israeli forces. NOTE: Hamas offered a prisoner swap immediately after October 7th, but Israel rejected it. RECOMMENDED READING: Israel has repeatedly rejected Hamas truce offers Israel’s Netanyahu says deal could be nearing for hostages The New Arab reports: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told families of hostages held in Gaza that a deal that would secure their loved ones’ release could be nearing, his office said on Tuesday. “The conditions are undoubtedly ripening. This is a good sign,” Netanyahu told the families on Monday in Washington, where was expected to meet US President Joe Biden later this week after making an address to Congress. Efforts to reach a Gaza ceasefire deal, outlined by Biden in May and mediated by Egypt and Qatar, have gained momentum over the past month. On Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said negotiators were “driving toward the goal line.” Ruby Chen, father of dual US-Israeli citizen Itai Chen, a soldier whose body is being held in Gaza, was one of the family members who met with Netanyahu. “He did say that conditions were ripening but I’m taking that with a pinch of salt,” Chen told Israeli Army Radio. Embed from Getty Images Israel’s West Bank Assault Sparks 250% Surge in Killings of Palestinian Kids Common Dreams reports: Three days after the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion stating that Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza is unlawful, the United Nations children’s rights agency said that after decades of being “exposed to horrific violence,” the number of children who have been killed in the West Bank since last October has skyrocketed. Since Israel began its bombardment of the Palestinian territories nearly 10 months ago, 143 Palestinian children have been killed in the West Bank, according to the U.N. Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The number represents a 250% increase compared to the nine months preceding October 7th. “The situation has deteriorated significantly, coinciding with the escalation of hostilities inside Gaza,” said Catherine Russell, executive director of UNICEF. “We are seeing frequent allegations of Palestinian children being detained on their way home from school, or shot while walking on the streets. The violence needs to stop now.” Some of the killings of children in the West Bank over the last 10 months have received international attention, like the Israeli forces’ shooting of two children, Basil Suleiman Abu al-Wafa and Adam Samer al-Ghoul, during a raid on the Jenin refugee camp in November. Al-Ghoul, who was nine, was shown on CCTV footage trying to run away from IDF soldiers when he was gunned down. Since October, two Israeli children have been killed in fighting the West Bank, said UNICEF.

Firefighting teams appear to have made little progress. The blaze appears to be expanding in some parts of the port amid fears it could reach food storage facilities. High-resolution satellite images taken by Maxar Technologies showed flames consuming a heavily damaged fuel storage area at the harbor in Hodeidah, a city on the Red Sea. An analysis of satellite imagery from Planet by the Dutch peace organization PAX showed at least 33 destroyed oil storage tankers, said Wim Zwijnenburg, a project leader with the organization. “We expect [to find] more damage as not all storage tanks are visible because of heavy smoke” from the fire and burning fuel, Zwijnenburg said.

NOTE: Israel has disseminated numerous atrocity stories about the October 7th attack that have since been proven untrue. In addition, an unknown but significant number of the Israeli soldiers and civilians killed on October 7 were shown to have been killed by Israeli fire.

Inside the stroller was a baby, and his head was thrown aside with a knife in it. The woman we found, presumably the mother, was lying on the couch with blood flowing from her private area. We were told to collect only the bodies. In the next stage, they would come to clean up the blood and everything else,” Rabbi Dickstein said, choking back tears. The rabbi continued with the difficult [and fabricated] descriptions: “And so we went from house to house and found women lying on the floor with legs spread, it’s indescribable. Another house and another house, then also in the field. They cut off men’s genitals, and we found women with severed breasts. A pregnant woman with her belly opened up to reveal the umbilical cord and the baby with a knife in its body.” NOTE: There is zero evidence that any of these alleged incidents actually occurred. Israeli media and others have thoroughly debunked these and similar stories months ago. Colonists break into Jerusalem’s Aqsa Mosque, perform Talmudic rituals WAFA reports: Israeli colonists, under the protection of Israeli police, Monday morning broke into Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem. Eyewitnesses said that dozens of colonists entered the holy site in groups, conducted provocative tours throughout the compound, and performed Talmudic rituals. During the incursion, Israeli police imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshippers to the mosque. Additionally, Israeli police intensified the restrictions at the gates of the Old City, effectively turning the area into a military zone. Ahistorical statement by Speaker Johnson: Supporting Israel Is One of America’s ‘Founding Principles’ Antiwar reports: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) described US support for Israel as one of America’s “founding principles” during a speech at an event hosted by the Republican Jewish Committee on July 18. “It is an important principle that America and Israel stand together resolutely. That is part of who we are as a country. It’s one of our founding principles. I believe that we maintain peace through strength, and I think that the relationship with Israel is essential to who we are as Americans,” Johnson said. Since the modern state of Israel was created in 1948, it’s unclear what Johnson meant when he said the US-Israel relationship is a “founding principle.” The most well-known Founding Fathers would also disagree with Johnson since they strongly warned against permanent alliances and “attachments” to other nations. In his farewell address in 1796, George Washington said, “A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or justification.” Johnson also threatened Democratic lawmakers with possible arrest if they protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress, which is scheduled for this Thursday. “There’s a number of Democrats in the House who have said they are going to boycott the event, and then some others are gonna protest,” he said. “We’re gonna have extra sergeants at arms on the floor, and if anybody gets out of hand the Speaker of the House will bang the gavel. We’re gonna arrest people if we have to do it. We’re gonna get the message out.” RECOMMENDED READING: Netanyahu purveyed a fictional history of Israel to Jordan Peterson Palestinian families flee their village of Tantura, May 1948.

Kamala Harris would be a total disaster for the US-Israel relationship,” the RJC said. Prior to Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, Harris was scheduled to be on the road campaigning for him during Netanyahu’s address to Congress. She was also supposed to meet with the Israeli prime minister, though it remains unclear if this meeting will still occur.

She said that Palestinians in Rafah ‘had no place to go’ just before 900,000 were successfully evacuated in a week.

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. † 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.

By IAK staff, from reports. AFP reports: A Gaza hospital said Saturday it saved a baby boy from his mother’s womb after she died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike. Ola Adnan Harb al-Kurd, who was nine months pregnant, barely survived a punishing night of missile strikes that reportedly killed more than 24 people, including six members of the same family. Doctors were unable to save the mother, but quickly staged an emergency cesarean section “and extracted the fetus,” the surgeon told AFP. The newborn was initially in critical condition, but after receiving oxygen and medical attention was stabilized, said Raed al-Saudi, head of the hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department. He was placed in an incubator and transferred to Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah. Kurd was among three women and a child killed by an Israeli missile fired on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, according to a medical official at Al-Awda Hospital. Her husband was also wounded in the strike on the family home. Israel has not confirmed individual strikes, but a military statement said troops were “conducting targeted raids on terrorist infrastructure sites” in central Gaza.

We’ve also seen an escalation in attacks by illegal Israeli settlers. Yesterday, as that ruling at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) was being read against the Israeli occupation, settlers attacked Palestinians in the Nablus area in Huwara; they burned businesses and fields. Also in the South Hebron Hills, there was an attack by a group of Israeli settlers against a family. A woman, who was severely beaten, is now being treated in hospital. In all those attacks of Israeli settlers, the Israeli soldiers were close by defending the settlers and protecting them and barring the Palestinians from defending themselves, which is something again referenced by the judges at the ICJ in The Hague. Palestinians are winners by just being at Paris Games, say athletes Reuters reports: The presence of Palestinian athletes at the Paris Olympic Games is already a major victory for the team amid the conflict in the Middle East, they said on Saturday, less than a week before the start of the Olympics. The Palestinian team for the Games starting on Friday consists of six athletes who will be competing in boxing, judo, taekwondo, shooting and swimming, with slim hopes of a medal. “Whether a medal or not, we already win,” swimmer Yazan Al Bawwab told Reuters. “The fact that we’re here. The fact that people don’t want us to be here, they don’t want us to play sports. They don’t want us to exist.” “People don’t want Palestinians to exist. They look at the flag and they don’t want it. So to be here is a win,” said Al Bawwab, who will be the team’s flag bearer during the opening ceremony. Palestinian sports officials have said that since the start of the conflict in October 2023 more than 300 athletes, referees and sports officials have been killed and all sports facilities in Gaza demolished. “I said it before but I’m one of the luckiest people in the world,” swimmer Valerie Tarazi said. “I have the opportunity to compete for my country, to raise the flag for my country.” “My heart is with them. Every time I swim, every time I jump in the pool, I’m thinking about the people of Palestine, their struggles. And I just want to represent them in the best way possible.” Valerie Tarazi and Yazan al-Bawwab, swimmers for Palesitne in Paris Olympics Valerie Tarazi and Yazan al-Bawwab, swimmers for Palesitne in Paris Olympics (screengrab) Israeli official implies call for Olympics ban for athletes is ‘unsportsmanlike’ Al Jazeera reports: An official with Israel’s Foreign Ministry has suggested that calls from the Palestine Olympic Committee (POC) for a ban on Israeli athletes participating in the Paris Olympics over the war on Gaza is unfair. POC has called for a ban on Israeli athletes at the games in Paris, which start on July 26, as they say some have failed to uphold the Olympic spirit. The POC cited examples including Israeli Olympians visiting troops and posting pictures of signed missiles used by Israel in its war on Gaza, in which about 39,000 people have been killed. “The reason why we’re doing this – for the human rights violations happening in Gaza, and the killings and murders of every single person,” said Nader Jayousi, the deputy secretary-general of the POC. European countries use 3rd-party countries to keep arming Israel: British journalist Andalou Agency reports: European countries continue providing weapons to Israel through third countries and secret deals, according to some media reports. Although countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and the UK have announced a halt to arms sales to Israel, international media reports suggest otherwise. The UK maintains that it has not directly supplied arms to Israel since Oct. 7 last year, which marks the beginning of Tel Aviv’s devastating Gaza offensive that has killed over 38,800 Palestinians. However, estimations suggest that private British companies have continued to sell Israel weapons. Italy, meanwhile, has reportedly halted arms supplies to Israel as required by law. But according to a report in business magazine Altreconomia, the country’s Customs Agency data confirmed that Rome exported arms and ammunition to Tel Aviv between December 2023 and January 2024. Despite Norwegian law prohibiting arms sales to any country at war, media reports have said Israel continues to procure weapons produced in a US subsidiary of a defense company in which Oslo has a 50% stake. While the Greek Cypriot administration appears on paper to be one of Tel Aviv’s smallest arms suppliers, it has been claimed that Western nations are using it as a military stockpile site for their own weapons destined for Israel. Media reports indicate that the British base in Southern Cyprus has facilitated more than 30 military transport flights delivering weapons and equipment to Israel since the attacks on Gaza began. British journalist Iain Overton told Anadolu that almost all European countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK, have exported arms to Israel in the past, and many continue to do so today. Overton cited the example of the UK, which issued 100 export licenses for arms sales to Israel since Oct. 7, hiding this fact for months, only to later reveal the truth. He noted that many other European countries also sell arms to Israel, adding that this is often concealed from the public. (Read the full article here.)

Israel is not officially integrated in NATO but is part of the Mediterranean Dialogue, a program sponsored by NATO in cooperation with seven countries of the Mediterranean. NATO’s long-standing working relationship with Israel has translated into NATO countries selling weapons to Israel and other countries buying weapons from Israel’s big weapons industry. Israel ranks 98th in world population, with a population of 9.4 million, only 0.11 percent of the world’s population, and ranks 154th of all countries in land mass. Despite its small population and land, a study by SIPRI ranks Israel as the world’s 15th top weapons importer, receiving 2.1 percent of all imports, according to globally available data from 2019-2023. Israel is the world’s 9th top weapons exporter, responsible for 2.4 percent of exports. With the exception of Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium, the remainder of the 32 NATO members continue to sell/send weapons to Israel as Israel conducts genocide operations on Palestinians in Gaza. All of the Israeli Air Force’s manned aircraft that are bombing people in Gaza are American-made, with the exception of one helicopter built by France’s Airbus Helicopters. Israel is the first international operator of the U.S. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the most technologically advanced fighter jet ever made, and had taken delivery of 36 of 75 F-35s by the end of 2023, paying for them with U.S. assistance.

Israeli jets bomb Yemen city in response to Tel Aviv drone strike The Cradle reports: Israeli warplanes launched heavy raids on Yemen’s western port city of Hodeidah on 20 July, targeting fuel depots and oil refineries as well as the province’s power station, according to reports in Saudi media and Yemen’s Al-Masirah TV. Local reports say the air raids left several dead and wounded. Videos shared on social media show massive fires blazing at the Port of Hodeidah. Nasr El-Din Amer, Vice President of the Ansarallah Media Authority, stressed on Saturday evening that the Israeli raids “will not change” Yemen’s steadfast support for the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. “We are also a people who, when targeted, do not retreat but instead increase in determination and conviction in the necessity of confrontation and response. We are Yemen, the land of faith, wisdom, jihad, and steadfastness.” Ansarallah spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam issued a similar statement, saying that by targeting civilian facilities, Israel “aims to double the suffering of the people and pressure Yemen to stop supporting Gaza. This is a dream that, Allah willing, will never come true.” Israel’s first-ever direct attack on Yemen comes one day after Sanaa launched an unprecedented drone strike on the city of Tel Aviv, bypassing all air defense systems before hitting a building near the US consulate. Hours after this attack, the Israeli prime minister said in a televised address that Israel will “defend ourselves by all means…I have a message for Israel’s enemies: Make no mistake. We will defend ourselves by all means, on all fronts. Anyone who harms us will pay a very heavy price for their aggression.” Israel strikes Hezbollah ammunition depot in south Lebanon, sources say Reuters reports: Israeli strikes late on Saturday targeted a depot storing ammunition belonging to Lebanese armed group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, three security sources told Reuters. The strikes on the town of Adloun, about 40 km (25 miles) north of Lebanon’s border with Israel, set off a string of loud explosions heard by witnesses across the south of Lebanon. At least four civilians in Adloun were wounded in the strikes, a medical source and a security source told Reuters. IDF to Vaccinate Israeli Soldiers Against Polio After Virus Found in Gaza Sewage Ha’aretz reports: The Israeli army will begin on Sunday to vaccinate against polio all soldiers operating in Gaza or due to enter there soon, after a high concentration of the virus was found in sewage in Gaza. The IDF stresses that the soldiers not make any use of the local Gazan water system, and that the army regularly brings in large quantities of water from Israel, including millions of bottles of water for drinking and bathing, and tons of ice, as well as field showers, soap and disinfectant wipes. Regarding a possible polio outbreak in Gaza, the IDF says that, according to the information it has, there is no confirmation of any clinical cases of the disease, but that there is real concern over a possible outbreak, especially given the conditions in Gaza. NOTE: Palestinians in Gaza have no choice but to use local water. An Oxfam report released July 18, Water War Crimes, reveals how Israel has been systematically weaponizing water against Palestinians in Gaza, showing disregard for human life and international law.  The report, finds that Israel’s cutting of external water supply, systematic destruction of water facilities and deliberate aid obstruction have reduced the amount of water available in Gaza by 94% to 4.74 liters a day per person – just under a third of the recommended minimum in emergencies and less than a single toilet flush. Israeli military attacks have damaged or destroyed five water and sanitation infrastructure sites every three days since the start of the war.  Israel has destroyed 70% of all sewage pumps and 100% of all wastewater treatment plants, as well as the main water quality testing laboratories in Gaza, and restricted the entry of Oxfam water testing equipment.  Gaza City has lost nearly all its water production capacity, with 88% of its water wells and 100% of its desalination plants damaged or destroyed.  The report also highlighted the dire impact of this extreme lack of clean water and sanitation on Palestinians’ health, with more than a quarter (26%) of Gaza’s population falling severely ill from easily preventable diseases.  RECOMMENDED READING: ‘Buying Our Own Stolen Water’ in Bethlehem – Scorching Summer Awaits Palestinians in the West Bank Human rights reports on Israel-Palestine (regularly updated) The polio virus has been detected in Gaza's sewage, which flows through areas with displaced persons and residential zones due to infrastructure destruction, and “represents a new health crisis.” The polio virus has been detected in Gaza’s sewage, which flows through areas with displaced persons and residential zones due to infrastructure destruction, and “represents a new health crisis.” (photo) Netanyahu filed draft decision rejecting ICJ’s advisory opinion –without consulting Israel’s AG Ha’aretz reports: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu filed on Sunday a draft decision that rejects the advisory opinion published by the International Court of Justice on Friday about the illegality of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. The draft was written without the collaboration of Israel’s Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, and the legal opinion attached to it was written by Professor Talia Einhorn. “The people of Israel are not occupiers in their own land and in their eternal capital, Jerusalem!” the document reads, and “Israel rejects the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, that blatantly ignored the natural and historic right of the Jewish people over the state of Israel, that was recognized in International law.” The statement adds that the ICJ opinion ignores the right of Israeli citizens to settle in any parts of the land, “from accepted international legal principles regarding territories that did not have a foreign sovereign, and from Israel’s duty and right for self-defense and safe boundaries.” RECOMMENDED READING: Netanyahu purveyed a fictional history of Israel to Jordan Peterson Root out the ‘poison’ of the pro-Israel lobby, says former Tory minister cleared of anti-Semitism Middle East Monitor reports: A former Conservative minister and Foreign Office official has been cleared of anti-Semitism allegations following an internal party investigation. Following his exoneration, Sir Alan Duncan issued a stark warning to his party, asserting that if the Conservative Party hopes to recover from its huge defeat in the recent General Election, it must confront and address what he termed the “poison” in its midst. According to Duncan, this “poison” is the undue influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups, particularly the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI), on party policy and decision-making. He argued that this influence has led to a distortion of UK foreign policy, prioritising Israeli interests over Britain’s, and has undermined the party’s integrity. Anti-Semitism allegations against Duncan — a major target of the pro-Israel lobby — stemmed from comments he made during an interview in which he took aim at the CFI over its influence on government policy and criticized senior Conservative figures for not acknowledging the illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. “The Conservative Friends of Israel has been doing the bidding of Netanyahu,” Duncan told Ferrari, “bypassing all proper processes of government to exercise undue influence at the top of government.” He argued that “money, improper influence, and the promotion of Israeli interests above our own [British interests] have contributed to the destruction of the UK’s independent foreign policy.” Drawing on his experience in the Foreign Office, Duncan revealed that there is “a lot of deep concern amongst officials and ambassadors about this undue influence.” (Read the full article here.) NOTE: Actual antisemitism is not as prevalent as Israel partisans would like us to think. A large portion of what they call antisemitism is simply criticism of Israel, the self-proclaimed “Jewish State.” Most of the animosity Israel experiences is opposition to Zionism. Zionism is not a benign philosophy, but a racist ideology – the ideology under which Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people and exiled them to Gaza and other locations. The so-called “demonization” of Israel is in most cases a legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies of occupation, apartheid, and genocide, and other illegal practices.

(collage) Pakistan calls Netanyahu a ‘terrorist’ Voice of America reports: Under pressure from right wing protesters, Pakistan’s government declared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a terrorist Friday, demanding the leader be brought to justice for alleged war crimes against Palestinians. The statement by Rana Sanaullah, adviser to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on political and public affairs, was part of a deal with a religious political party, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan or TLP, to end its days-long sit-in on a key road outside the capital. Thousands of TLP supporters rallied near the capital last Saturday to condemn Israeli strikes in Gaza. They demanded the government declare Netanyahu a terrorist, boycott Israeli products and send aid to Palestinians. How much aid has the US given to Israel since October 7th? Middle East Monitor reports: In the aftermath of the Hamas attack of 7 October, 2023, the Biden administration announced its support for Israel in the form of a $105 billion national security package, including military and humanitarian assistance for Israel and Ukraine. Of this $105 billion, $14.3 billion – as supplementary funding – was meant to provide security support to Israel, release hostages, provide humanitarian aid to Israel and Gaza and replenish Israel’s stockpile of interceptors for its Iron Dome missile defense system, artillery shells and other munitions. The assistance further included support for air and missile defense, investments in the industrial base and replenishment of US stocks to aid Israel. This aid is intended to improve Israel’s air and missile defence systems’ readiness and help procure and develop various missile defence components. Additionally, $3.7 billion in aid and assistance continued under the Ten-Year Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Israel, enhancing Israel’s military capabilities and security. In comparison, approximately $3.3 billion in aid is given to Israel every year to purchase arms from the US and Israeli companies. More recently, in April 2024, the Biden administration approved an additional $95 billion assistance package for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. Of this package, $26 billion would go to Israel and $9.15 billion in humanitarian assistance to Gaza, the West Bank and Ukraine. POTUS tweet, October 18, 2023 "I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding the situation on the ground, security assistance and humanitarian needs, and information on unaccounted Americans.

One factor that may stretch out a decision: Advisers believe that Mr. Biden would not want to do it before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel visits Washington on Wednesday at the initiative of Republicans to address Congress, unwilling to give the premier the satisfaction given their strained relations lately over the Gaza war. Germany: ‘Israel is isolating itself by refusing to establish Palestine state’ Middle East Monitor reports: The German government expressed its deep concern about the Israeli Parliament’s refusal to establish a Palestinian state. A German Foreign Ministry spokesperson shared on Friday in Berlin: “The decision contradicts many UN Security Council resolutions. Israel is, therefore, distancing itself from the overwhelming majority of the international community and isolating itself. We all know that isolation is the enemy of any security.” The spokesperson said that although the resolution is non-binding, it: “Poses a setback to our efforts to achieve a balance between the legitimate security interests of Israel and the Palestinians’ right to self-determination,” adding that the German government believes that there is no alternative to a two-state solution that also protects the rights of the Palestinians. He noted that Israel’s long-term security can only be guaranteed through a two-state solution, adding: “Just like the Israelis, the Palestinians also have the right to live in security and dignity through their ability to determine their fate in a state of their own.” The majority of Knesset members voted on Thursday in favor of a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state. Footage shared by local media shows the destruction caused by Israel’s attack on the Shati refugee camp where at least 24 Palestinians have been reported killed.

The Guardian: Slowly but surely, Israel tightens its grip on Gaza’s lifeline to Egypt Jacobin: Getting Rid of Netanyahu Is Not Enough – an interview with Gideon Levy STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – JULY 20: Palestinian death toll from October 7 – July 20: at least 39,497* (38,919 in Gaza* – 11,445 women (30%), 16,034 children as of June 17. [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 578 in the West Bank (~140 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 46,848 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 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 46 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 18 from West Bank). At least 40 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition**. About 1.7 million, or 75% of Gaza’s population are currently displaced. 2.15 million (out of total population of 2.3 million) are projected to face Crisis or worse levels of food insecurity. Palestinian injuries from October 7 – July 20: at least 95,042 (including at least 89,622 in Gaza and 5,420 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 – July 20: ~1,481 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 326 military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 16 in the West Bank) and~8,730 injured. Times of Israel reports: The IDF listed 41 soldiers killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents – nearly 16%. NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries in Israel 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. † 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.
