Iran Playing Major Role in Defeating Terrorism in Middle East: Mark Taliano - Global ResearchGlobal Research - Centre for Research on Globalization

A renowned author and political commentator from Canada praised Iran’s campaign against terrorism in the Middle East and said the Islamic Republic has been fighting the phenomenon while the West’s support for terror groups in the region is well documented.

“Iran has played a very important role in defeating terrorism in the Middle East; it has acted in accordance with international law, and it is to be commended for its efforts,” Mark Taliano said in an interview with the Tasnim News Agency.

“The US Empire projects its own criminality on “prey” nations, and Iran is in the crosshairs, but Iran has been fighting and destroying terrorism, whereas the West has been supporting and growing terrorism,” he added.

Tasnim: As you know, the resistance forces and the armies in Syria and Iraq have recently liberated last strongholds of the Daesh (ISIS or ISIL) terrorist group in the Arab countries. What do you think about the recent military achievements? Do you have a positive perspective on the security situation?

Taliano: The Axis of Resistance is defeating all of the terrorist groups, all in accordance with international law, and with a view to bringing peace and stability to the Middle East and beyond. I have a very positive view on the security situation. New alliances and trade partnerships are being formed to strengthen the resistance against the criminal, terrorist-supporting regimes that oppose trajectories of peace and stability. US-led NATO and its allies, including Israel and the Persian Gulf monarchies, need to be held to account for their high crimes against sovereign states such as Syria, Iraq, and beyond.

US imperialism is creating globalized war and poverty. Thanks to the West’s illegal invasion of Libya — imperialism under the cover of the so-called “Responsibility To Protect”, Libya, now a failed state, is host to a growing slave trade, it is a hub for terrorists, including Daesh, and it is the source of multitudes of refugees. Libya was a “successful” regime change. Gaddafi was murdered, and a nation that previously boasted of the highest Human Development Index in Africa was destroyed.

The genocidal sanctions and ultimate illegal invasion and destruction of Iraq was also a successful Regime Change, in the sense that the country, its institutions, and its infrastructure were destroyed and plundered. Fortunately, Iraq is now rebounding.

The Regime Change in Ukraine was also successful in the sense that the elected government was overthrown, and the country is now divided, impoverished, and in a state of war. Yet another imperial success story.

The totality of the impacts of illegal warfare, post 9/11, and their enduring consequences, has created an overseas holocaust as described by Dr. Gideon Polya.

Tasnim: Major General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), recently declared the collapse of the Takfiri terror group in Iraq and Syria. What is your assessment of Iran’s role in the anti-terrorism campaign in the Middle East?

Taliano: Iran has played a very important role in defeating terrorism in the Middle East. It has acted in accordance with international law, and it is to be commended for its efforts. The US Empire projects its own criminality on “prey” nations, and Iran is in the crosshairs, but Iran has been fighting and destroying terrorism, whereas the West has been supporting and growing terrorism.

The US-led Empire seeks to label Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) a “terrorist” entity in its on-going campaign to destabilize and ultimately destroy Iran. If we recall General Wesley Clark’s earlier, public statements, the Pentagon’s plan was 7 countries in 5 years, and Iran is on the list.

Tasnim: Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement Hassan Nasrallah said recently that despite the US claims about fighting terrorism, it spared no effort to help Daesh forces in the Syrian town of Al-Bukamal. “The US helped Daesh as much as it could in Al-Bukamal short of directly engaging forces that fought to liberate the town from Daesh,” the Hezbollah leader said. What do you think about the remarks?

Taliano: The West and its allies have been directly supporting terrorist groups since well before the war on Syria started. The terrorists are there because of the West, not despite the West. All of this is well documented. Daesh has been a “covert proxy” for the West in Syria. In an earlier article, I described it as a “place setter”. The West infests an area with Daesh, then destroys the area under the fake pretext of going after Daesh, and then re-occupies the area with a new batch of terrorists. In the case of Raqqa, for example, the area was destroyed, Daesh was re-located to other fronts – with US coalition air support — and now “overt proxies”, the anti-democratic SDF Kurdish forces are the new occupiers.

In Deir ez-Zor and elsewhere the US has been brokering deals between Daesh and Kurdish forces with a view to advancing its imperial projects of occupation and plunder. Recently, original documents were discovered which detail the terms of a deal between Daesh and the SDF.

Now that the terrorists are being defeated, the West’s direct support is more transparent. The Hezbollah leader is being diplomatic when he states that “The US helped Daesh as much as it could in Al-Bukamal short of directly engaging forces that fought to liberate the town from Daesh,” Daesh and all of the terrorists are there because of the West, not despite the West.

Mark Taliano is an author and independent investigative reporter who recently returned from a trip to Syria with the Third International Tour of Peace to Syria. In his new book titled “Voices from Syria”, he combines years of research with on-the-ground observations to present an informed and well-documented analysis that refutes mainstream media narratives about the dirty war on Syria.


All of the post-9/11 wars were sold to Western audiences through a sophisticated network of interlocking governing agencies that disseminate propaganda to both domestic and foreign audiences. But the dirty war on Syria is different. The degree of war propaganda levelled at Syria and contaminating humanity at this moment is likely unprecedented. I had studied and written about Syria for years, so I was not entirely surprised by what I saw.

Former US ambassador to Russia took part in planning Kursk incursion
Drago BosnicOctober 4, 2024

Back in August, President Vladimir Putin’s top aide and former Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev stated that the United States is lying about supposedly “not knowing” that the Kursk oblast (region) incursion before the Neo-Nazi junta launched it. Patrushev insisted that “without their participation and direct support, Kiev would not have ventured into Russian territory”. He also added there’s evidence that NATO intelligence services are providing direct support to the Kiev regime junta forces. Considering that Patrushev headed the FSB for nearly a decade and that he’s one of Putin’s closest associates, it’s a given he’s privy to such information. And yet, Washington DC is still trying to maintain “plausible deniability”. No doubt that this is not only yet another attempt to deny its responsibility, but also a way to further enrage Moscow in order to create the illusion that NATO is a “defensive alliance protecting Europe from aggressive Russia”.

Obviously, to the mainstream propaganda machine, Patrushev’s claims are “conspiracy theories” and “disinformation”. However, these already sloppy attempts to hide US/NATO involvement in the Kursk oblast incursion turned out to be even sloppier. Namely, leaked documents show that several high-ranking American officials and at least one think tank took part in planning the Neo-Nazi junta’s attack. Apparently, former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul had his email hacked, revealing “peculiar” papers on the Kursk oblast incursion. Along with former US ambassador to Uzbekistan and Ukraine John Herbst, McFaul was invited to take part in a wargame organized by the Atlantic Council, a rabidly warmongering think tank based in Washington DC. This highly controversial gathering took place back in February, while the wargaming itself focused precisely on an incursion such as the one Kiev launched in Russia’s Kursk oblast.

This is yet another proof that it was indeed planned months in advance, just as many of my colleagues and I argued. Several experts have already established that the purpose of the wargame was to probe Russia’s response. The Atlantic Council and former ambassadors established that two scenarios were anticipated. The first was finally starting negotiations on the Neo-Nazi junta’s accession to NATO, and the second was the “decisive breakthrough” of its forces, obviously referring to what would later become known as the Kursk oblast incursion. The purpose of the latter was to cause internal destabilization and hurt the authority of the Kremlin. Worse yet, the wargame even included a scenario where the use of nuclear weapons was expected, showing that the US-led political West was indeed trying to provoke Moscow to use weapons of mass destruction. This is also in line with other forms of escalation NATO is pursuing.

According to Ilya Remeslo, a lawyer and member of the Public Chamber of Russia, the goal was internal destabilization, with both McFaul himself and his associates actively working on this, as evidenced by the leaked files. Remeslo argues that the military failure of the Kiev regime forces also forced its NATO overlords to abort further operations involving Western agents in Russia. He named several people, including Konstantin Eggert, Andrei Illarionov, Garry Kasparov. Yevgenia Albats and others who have already been registered as foreign agents in Russia. After the Kursk oblast incursion was launched, I argued similar points to Remeslo’s. Namely, mere days before the attack, US/NATO and the Neo-Nazi junta tried to assassinate President Vladimir Putin and Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. The Kremlin gave a very clear warning to the political West – there will be immediate thermonuclear war if this ever happens again.

However, the Kursk oblast incursion soon followed, putting additional pressure on Moscow. It was already clear that the attack was planned very carefully, months in advance, meaning that the most likely goal was to assassinate Putin and/or Belousov and then launch the incursion to cause a breakdown in leadership the Kremlin and possibly even a Maidan-style revolution that would effectively defeat Russia. Since the Eurasian giant is seen as the spearhead of multipolarity, destroying at least its sovereignty (and eventually its statehood) is critically important for the political West. This is also in line with plans of the so-called “decolonization of Russia”, a blatantly open call for the world’s largest country’s dissolution. The latest evidence about the involvement of high-ranking US officials only serves as further confirmation that these plans are certainly still in motion. This is extremely dangerous, as it ensures that NATO and Russia remain on a collision course.

Interestingly, right after the Kursk oblast incursion was launched, McFaul was adamant that this was a “win for Zelensky and a loss for Putin”, as it supposedly “strikes the latter hard”. What makes these revelations even more disturbing is the fact that NATO personnel and blatantly Neo-Nazi units took part in the Kursk oblast incursion, committing gruesome war crimes in the process. This makes McFaul and all the others who participated in the planning directly responsible for atrocities committed by the units involved in the attack. The massive presence of foreign troops also shows that NATO actively coordinated everything, which is a much higher level of involvement than just planning the incursion. It was only thanks to the Kremlin’s cool-headedness we didn’t see any escalation, while the Russian military’s decisive response prevented the Kiev regime forces from reaching any major targets, particularly the Kursk NPP.

All this goes to show that the political West has truly become a danger to the security of the entire world (although many would argue that was always the case). America’s perpetual bloodlust and appetite for death and destruction are putting the lives of eight billion people at risk, including the 330 million Americans who are effectively held hostage by the warmongers, war criminals and plutocrats in Washington DC. This monstrous oligarchy is waging a war of aggression against the entire world and is showing no signs it will ever stop. Its strategic doctrine boils down to attacking everyone at once, while things are no better on an operational and tactical level, as the US keeps increasing its already massive pressure on small countries, particularly in Europe, where any sort of non-compliance with the “rules-based world order” is met with zero tolerance. If left unchecked, this sort of foreign policy framework is bound to set the world on fire.

BOOOM! I BREAK My Silence to Slam CIA Stooge Mike Pompeo and MAGA Wolves

I've broken my silence today to deliver a powerful message to all of you. I’m calling out CIA stooge Mike Pompeo and the so-called ‘MAGA wolves’ who persecuted me. This is a scathing critique of the war on truth and a demand for accountability. Will Trump finally confront those who acted in his name? The fight for free speech and exposing government lies continues.

I am Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, and today I send a shockwave through the political world. In my first public address since regaining some semblance of freedom, I call out two wolves in MAGA hats—those who led the prosecution against me—and denounce the CIA’s role in perpetuating a global war on truth. My words come at a critical time, as America reckons with its actions in an increasingly polarized world.

I am not just a whistleblower; I’ve become a symbol of the war on truth. The big question now is, who will be held accountable for persecuting me—a man who revealed the military-industrial complex's dark underbelly? Will Trump set the record straight? It's time for answers, accountability, and an honest reckoning with the truth of what has happened to me and why.

I won’t mince words. I was prosecuted by two wolves in MAGA hats. They worked tirelessly to silence me, not for any crime, but for exposing uncomfortable truths about the U.S. government. I’m not attacking Trump directly—I'm accusing those who operated in the name of “Make America Great Again” while betraying its ideals of freedom and justice. Who were these wolves? The answer is clear: former CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who openly branded WikiLeaks a “hostile non-state intelligence service.”

The CIA has long sought to silence whistleblowers and journalists. Pompeo, under the guise of national security, aggressively targeted me. I was never a threat to national security—I was a threat to those in power who wanted to keep their actions hidden.

By exposing these secrets, I showed how intelligence agencies manipulate narratives and control public perception. In a world that prides itself on freedom, I became the target—a stark reminder that truth-tellers are punished, while war criminals walk free.

Let me underscore a harsh reality: war is sold on lies, and truth-tellers pay the price. Governments worldwide chose to shoot the messenger rather than face the real crimes I exposed. My persecution isn’t about security; it’s about power.

If they can suppress the truth, what hope is there for freedom? For democracy? This isn’t just my fight; it’s a fight for everyone who believes in a just world, where truth and accountability prevail.

Donald Trump has a chance here—a chance to reclaim the narrative by addressing my situation head-on. If he truly wants to drain the swamp and fight for truth and freedom, then he must take a clear stand for me and those who risk everything to expose the truth. To Make America Great Again, Trump must confront the injustices against me and make it clear that those who expose uncomfortable truths will be protected, not hunted.

The fight for truth is far from over—now, it’s time for everyone to decide which side of history they want to stand on.

Missouri to Palestine. Racism and the Criminalization of Justice. The Execution of Marcellus “Khalifah” Williams for a Crime he Did Not Commit

The state of Missouri murdered Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams on Tuesday, September 24th, at 6 pm central time. His last meal was chicken wings and tater tots; his last words were, “All praise be to Allah in every situation!” His execution was the third execution in Missouri this year and the 100th since Missouri reinstated capital punishment in 1989.

Khaliifiah had hundreds of thousands of supporters behind him worldwide for decades. Millions making calls online and signing his petitions, hundreds in person bringing their grievances to the Missouri Supreme Court, and the prosecution lawyers AND family of Lisha Gayle, the social worker and former newspaper reporter who was murdered during a burglary of her home, whom this case revolves around, calling for the death penalty to be dismissed during this case.

Khaliifiah has also held his innocence since the beginning of this trial in 1998, with no forensic evidence supporting Khaliifah as the offender. Each time he was set to be executed, his execution was halted due to further DNA and forensic research, which never got to conclude before his death, nor did the impending Supreme Court case.

Khaliifah never had a fair trial. When first tried in 2001, he was not granted his constitutional rights to a fair jury. Instead, Black jurors were barred from entering the jury because they “looked like Williams.” In his reasoning for going forward with Williams’ execution, Gov. Parsons said that Williams had “exhausted due process and every judicial avenue.” However, Parsons denied Khaliifah’s clemency request to change his sentence to life in prison and also rejected a request to cancel the execution so that a lower court could make a new determination about the discriminatory circumstances of his 2001 jury. Gov. Parsons has never granted clemency for a death penalty case.

According to the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC), 16 prisoners have been executed in 8 states in the United States this year, and 48 more executions are scheduled throughout 2024.

The death penalty and the cruelty of cases like Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams exemplify the systemic racism and throughlines of enslavement that are still housed within the U.S. Criminal Justice System today. Capital Punishment has been around since enslavement, with states like North Carolina using it as a way to squash rebellions and those working to free enslaved individuals. The Jim Crow Era continued with lynchings and public executions seemingly becoming interchangeable, with almost all cases of the death penalty being against Black men. And with the 1990s era of mass incarceration, the war on drugs, and a renewed surge of the death penalty – The United took the reins of the highest incarceration population in the world. Today, despite making up 13% of the U.S. population, Black folks make up 42% of those on death row (according to a 2020 Prison Policy Initiative Report).

Robert Dunham, the DPIC Executive Director, writes,

“What is broken or intentionally discriminatory in the criminal legal system is visibly worse in death-penalty cases. Exposing how the system discriminates in capital cases can shine an important light on law enforcement and judicial practices in vital need of abolition.”

The disparities found in Khaliifah’s case are ones systemically embedded in the groundwork of death penalty trials and throughout the entire criminal justice system in the U.S., with many other past cases resurfacing because of Khaliifah’s murder.

Like many others, I recount these facts about Khaliifah with tears running down my face and anger in my heart – and all I can think about is time. Khaliifah spent two decades in prison for a crime he did not commit.

President Biden sits in a long line of masterminds that got us to the prison industrial complex that we have today, with many who were sentenced to death while Biden was gunning for the 1994 Crime Bill, still awaiting their fate. A prison industrial complex that has not only murdered and harmed millions of Black and Brown people in the U.S. for centuries but has weaved its web throughout the world, implementing torture, starvation, and capital punishment of its own sort throughout places like Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Sudan, the Congo.

And as we run into a new election cycle fueled by feminism and a new wave of young organizers ready to believe in the system at large because of who is heading it, I must ask, where is feminism in this? Where is feminism when we have so many women as elected officials in the U.S. who could not even utter his name, not the name of any individual who the heinous system has touched? Where is feminism as we look out onto almost a year of genocide and nearly 76 years of occupation in Palestine? Where is feminism when our tax dollars go towards the public execution of innocent mothers, fathers, and children who got no jury, no trial, and no time?

From Missouri to Palestine, not even time is a human right.

Over 17M people have died from the ‘Covid Vaccines, which is one in 800 people. The excess death mortality rate skyrocketed with every ‘Vaccine Rollout’ in participating countries around the World. This is the Greatest CRIME in Human History. Remember when Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama urged Americans to take the insufficiently tested mRNA injections, asserting it was "the first step to ending the pandemic"? The former US President Deep State Cabal members stated that "The science is clear: These vaccines will protect you, and those you love, from this dangerous and deadly disease.”

· In June 2000 at the Simpsonwood Conference in Georgia, Big Pharma Executives discussed a possible link between their vaccines and neurological disorders like autism. Their vaccines contained Thimerosal Mercury, a known neurotoxin. They have not released that information to the public and continued to push their toxic vaccines in spite of damage the vaccine caused.

· Covid Vaccines have been found to cause terminal Cancer and produce Blood Cots of “Micro Chip-Like Nanoparticles” that regenerate, not only making one Trans-human, but at High Risk for Heart Attacks. Fauci Court Testimony: “None of the 72 Childhood Vaccines has been Safety Tested.”

· WARNING: A combination of drugs called Remdesivir, Dexamethasone & Vancomycin are being used in hospitals to treat the fake Covid Virus, causing massive kidney failure, the subsequent filling of the lungs with liquid and death. In the US the only authorized drug to treat newborns of ‘Covid’ is Remdesivir, which is pretty scary. …Dr Bryan Ardis

· 33 years ago, Dr. Robert Willner accused Anthony Fauci of Genocide during the AIDS epidemic. His speech is even more pertinent today. Genocide has been their agenda for decades.

Israel killed at least 28 people in the Gaza Strip Sunday.

At least four Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Umm al-Fahm School in the town of Beit Lahia, which serves to shelter displaced civilians in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Lebanese health ministry has reported that Israeli air strikes on Sunday killed at least 109 individuals and left 364 others wounded across the country.

An entire family of 17 members was wiped out by an Israeli airstrike on Sunday in the town of Zboud, in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, Lebanese media said.
In Yemen, at least four people were killed and 49 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on the western city of Al Hudaydah on Sunday, the Houthi group said.

Around 17,000 children killed in Israeli war on Gaza, Palestinian authorities say

Anadolu Agency reports:

Around 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since last October, according to local authorities on Sunday.

“Around 25,973 Palestinian children now live in Gaza without one or both parents due to the Israeli aggression,” Ismail al-Thawabta, who heads Gaza’s government media office, told Anadolu.

He said at least 16,859 children, including 171 infants, have been killed in Israeli attacks since Oct. 7, 2023.

The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has repeatedly warned that “Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors” under relentless Israeli attacks.

Gaza: Israel’s destruction of agricultural land is expression of its insistence on committing genocide

Euro Med Monitor reports:

Israel has once again destroyed hundreds of dunams of agricultural land, depriving Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip of agricultural land and resources vital to survival, all in support of its illegal blockade of the Strip and tight restrictions on the entry of food supplies for almost a full year. This is an expression of Israel’s insistence on committing genocide against Palestinians in the enclave.

Israel has forced over 75% of agricultural land in the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian people’s hands, either by isolating it in preparation for illegally annexing it to its military “buffer zone” or by bulldozing or otherwise damaging it, thereby destroying the Strip’s supply of fruits, vegetables, and meat.

This destruction is part of a larger Israeli plan that dates back to last October. Under this plan, Israeli forces have worked to eliminate almost 80% of the agricultural land in the Gaza Strip from use by Palestinians. Israel has done this either by isolating it in preparation for its forcible annexation to the so-called “buffer zone” or by bulldozing or destroying it by other means, such as bombardment—all of which are in violation of international law.

According to the Euro-Med Monitor field team, Israeli forces stormed the area of Al-Shimaa in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, early on Tuesday morning (25 September 2024). Accompanied by military bulldozers, the forces began their bulldozing operations, destroying more than 500 dunums of newly replanted agricultural land, which was supposed to sustain the needs of the people living in northern Gaza, who are subject to an arbitrary siege and systematic starvation by Israel.

The Israeli destruction of these agricultural lands, the majority of which were filled with eggplants, reflects Israel’s insistence on preventing the Palestinian people from depending on the region’s agricultural food basket during a period when sufficient supplies of vegetables and other foods are being kept out of the northern Gaza Strip. This has led to a severe famine, to the point where a significant portion of the people in the north have been forced to eat tree leaves and bake ground-up animal feed instead of flour.

Palestinian security in Gaza says spying devices found in displacement camps

Middle East Monitor reports:

The Palestinian security services in Gaza have in recent days seized Israeli spying equipment planted in a shelter for displaced families in the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian resistance media platform reported on its Telegram channel yesterday.

The platform quoted a security officer as saying that “the [Israeli] occupation intelligence had disguised the seized spying devices with different shapes, so they appear as part of the surrounding and natural environment including in the form of a rock.”

The officer suggested the Israeli intelligence planted the spying devices via Quadcopter drones, calling on everyone “not to tamper with any suspicious devices and to contact the security officers immediately.”

From Gaza to Lebanon: Israel’s Bombing Campaign Backed by Media Propaganda

MintPress News reports:

Western corporate media outlets, including the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times, have been working overtime to justify Israel’s recent assault on Lebanon, which claimed the lives of approximately 600 people in a single day. These reports have repeatedly claimed that the Israeli strikes were targeting “Hezbollah positions,” an assertion that has been widely echoed without substantial scrutiny.

Israel’s large-scale onslaught against civilian areas throughout Lebanon, which began on Monday, was covered by Western corporate media as “strikes on Hezbollah.”

CNN’s story on the first day of the assault, after around 500 people had been killed across Lebanon, was titled, “Israeli Strikes Targeting Hezbollah Kill Hundreds Across Lebanon.” The New York Times set up a live events feed labeled “Israel Strikes Hezbollah Targets in Lebanon.” Even Reuters and the Associated Press, two of the most reputable Western news providers, framed the events as an escalation from “both sides,” covering Israel’s attack on Hezbollah.


A Reuters article published Tuesday opens with a telling lede: “An Israeli airstrike on Beirut killed a senior Hezbollah commander on Tuesday as cross-border rocket attacks by both sides increased fears of a full-fledged war in the Middle East, and Lebanon said only Washington could help end the fighting.”

Israel has made no secret of the fact that it is targeting civilians, as demonstrated by its release of a CGI video showing mockups of Lebanese villages, where missiles are allegedly stored in homes. Despite this, much of the Western media has yet to acknowledge these admissions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dispelled any remaining doubt when he delivered a message in English to the people of Lebanon in which he claimed, “Hezbollah has been using you as human shields.” He further stated, “They’ve placed rockets in your living rooms” and “missiles in your garage.”

Garbage situation in Gaza is catastrophic

Various agencies report:

UNRWA, the United Nations group serving Palestinian refugees, says: Mountains of garbage are piling up in Gaza middle areas as sewage leaks onto streets. Families have no choice but to live beside the accumulated waste, exposed to the reek and the threat of a looming health disaster. Sanitary and living conditions across Gaza are inhumane.

According to ReliefWeb, the waste management system in Gaza, already limited before the war, has now completely collapsed as collection vehicles have been destroyed and access to official landfills is refused by the Israeli military.

Waste attracts rodents and insects resulting in the spread of infectious diseases such as cholera or skin diseases, while waste burning, a disposal method that locals use to manage the current emergency, worsens air pollution which in turn can result in further respiratory problems. People, many of whom are children, scavenging waste for food and sustenance, face additional risks from hazardous materials, which include medical waste and industrial chemicals.

There are also growing indications that conflict pollution is risked with the spread of antimicrobial resistance, a development that can deepen the medical health crisis.

Large waste dumps are also a threat to the soil and groundwater, as leachate, a toxic mix that spills from the waste, seeps into the land and affects groundwater, while in the long-term, increased methane release from landfills contributes to an increase of greenhouse gas emissions.

Lebanon says around 1 million people displaced due to Israeli attacks

Anadolu Agency reports:

Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Sunday that around one million people have been displaced due to Israeli attacks, marking the largest wave of displacement in the country’s history.

“Lebanon is experiencing the largest wave of displacement in its history,” he told a press conference following a meeting of the government’s emergency committee in Beirut.

“Our priority is to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression through continued diplomatic efforts. We have no other choice,” he noted.

Mikati also reaffirmed Lebanon’s commitment to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israel’s state comptroller accuses army of obstructing investigations into Oct. 7 failures

Anadolu Agency reports:

Israeli State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman accused the military on Sunday of hindering investigations into the failures that led to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

“No external body has shown objectivity in examining the failures,” Englman said during a conference by Israeli media outlets The Jerusalem Post, Maariv and Walla.

He said his office is conducting a series of investigations related to the failures that led to the Oct. 7 attack.

“We are nearing completion of this report, but to finalize it, we need to meet with three individuals in the military,” Englman added.

He emphasized that Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi believes that the State Comptroller’s office should not intervene in military issues, declaring him “wrong.”

The State Comptroller’s office is Israel’s central institution for overseeing various state agencies to ensure public financial accountability.

US senator confirms Israel used US one ton bombs in Nasrallah strike

Reuters reports:

The bomb that Israel used to kill Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut last week was an American-made guided weapon, a U.S. senator said on Sunday.

Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee, said Israel used a 2,000-lb (900-kg) Mark 84 series bomb, during an interview with NBC. His statement marks the first U.S. indication of what weapon had been used.

“We see more use of guided munitions, JDAMs, and we continue to provide those weapons,” Kelly said, using an abbreviation that stands for Joint Direct Attack Munitions. “That 2,000-pound bomb that was used, that’s a Mark 84 series bomb, to take out Nasrallah,” he said.

The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in a strike on the group’s central command headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

The Israeli military has declined to comment on what weapons were used in the attack. The Pentagon was not immediately available for comment.

JDAMs convert a standard unguided bomb using fins and a GPS guidance system into a guided weapon.

AL JAZEERA ADDS: Israel media says about 85 so-called “bunker-buster” bombs were used in the attack on Hasan Nasrallah.

Also known as “ground penetration munition”, these missiles burrow deep into the ground before they detonate.

They have the power to destroy underground facilities and reinforced concrete buildings.

Washington’s failure to condemn Israel’s pager terrorism “can only be called racist”

Ralph Nader writes in Common Dreams:

Furtively booby-trapping a consumer product like a pager or two-way radio opens a new phase of warfare. This savagery prompted Leon Panetta, former director of the CIA and former secretary of defense, in an interview on the CBS “Sunday Morning” news show to charge Israel with “terrorism.” No prominent national security figure has ever assailed Israel this way. Herewith his words:

The ability to be able to place an explosive in technology that is very prevalent these days. And turn it into a war of terror. Really, a war of terror. This is something new.

I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism…This is going right into the supply chain, right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question, what the hell is next?

Panetta would never have uttered these words without the concurrence of the CIA and the Department of Defense. Still no consequences for Netanyahu by the U.S. government.

Netanyahu has made the push button a trigger for mayhem and murder—acts of large-scale terrorism. He and his predecessors have always characterized offensive acts violating the laws of war as “acceptable” defensive tactics.

The supine Congress and White House regularly rubber-stamp their violations of several U.S. laws on behalf of the Israeli government. (See the letter sent to John Kirby on September 12, 2024).

Consider the aftermath. No denunciation by U.S. President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, or Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

Alarmingly, there were no editorials in the following week criticizing Netanyahu in The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Imagine if Hezbollah did this to Israeli society. The devaluation of Palestinian and Lebanese lives can only be called racist.

U.S. blowback analysts are apprehensive about the spread of Israeli-style “red button” explosives and the ingenious, and ever-cheaper armed drones. They see such technologies as potential threats within the U.S.

Such is the peril of nations whose leaders wage constant profitable, preventable wars and decline to wage muscular peace with comparable determination.

Pope says Israel’s bombings in Lebanon, Gaza ‘immoral’

Anadolu Agency reports:

On Sunday, the pope was asked about Israel’s targeted killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Friday’s strike on Beirut, which led to many casualties and reduced several buildings to rubble.

“Every day I call the parish of Gaza. More than 600 people are there, inside the parish and the college, and they tell me about the things that are happening, including the cruelties that are occurring there,” he told journalists.

“[D]efense must always be proportionate to the attack,” he added.

“When there is something disproportionate, a domineering tendency that goes beyond morality is evident,” the pope said.

“A country that, with its forces, does these things—I’m talking about any country—that does these things in such a “superlative” way, these are immoral actions,” he added.

“Even in war, there is morality to be safe-guarded. War is immoral, but the rules of war indicate some morality. But when this is not respected, you can see—as we say in Argentina—the “bad blood” of these things.”

Jared Kushner says Israel must ‘finish the job’ in Lebanon

Al Jazeera reports:

Jared Kushner, who served as a senior adviser during former US President Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, has said calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon is “wrong”.

In a post on X, Kushner said Israel “cannot afford now to not finish the job” and dismantle Hezbollah completely.“They will never get another chance. After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned,” said Kushner, who is also the Republican candidate’s son-in-law.
He added that the “right move” for the US is to allow Israel to “finish the job. It’s long overdue”.

In March, Kushner sparked controversy when he publicly praised the “very valuable potential” of “waterfront property” in Gaza, in comments that gave a window into what Trump’s policy on Palestine could be during his second term.

During Trump’s presidency, Kushner played a major role in negotiating the “Abraham Accords”: normalization deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Palestinians slammed the agreements as “a stab in the back of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people”.

At one point, Trump’s son-in-law described Gaza as having no historical context – “It was the result of a war – you had tribes that went different places and then Gaza became a thing.”

Before leading in the creation of Trump’s so-called Deal of the Century, Kushner claimed his expertise on the subject came from reading 25 books about Palestine.

Russian foreign minister urges Israel to abandon ‘essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores’

Anadolu Agency reports:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urged Israel on Saturday to abandon “essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores” as he commented on the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Lavrov said at a news conference in New York that he had the impression that Israel is trying to provoke Iran and the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, to push the US into direct involvement in the conflict in the Middle East.

The Russian diplomat noted that Nasrallah’s murder was not the first provocative step by Israel. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in July in the Iranian capital of Tehran where he went to take part in the funeral of President Ebrahim Raisi. Before that, Israel attacked the Iranian diplomatic mission in the Syrian capital of Damascus.

“Apparently, Israel wants to create a reason for the US to get involved in this war. And in order to create this reason, it has been provoking both Iran and Hezbollah. In this situation, Iranian leadership is behaving extremely responsibly,” he said. “I don’t think this is the right course, I am convinced that the bloodshed must be stopped.”

Asked about Israel’s willingness to implement UN Security Council resolutions, Lavrov said: “I do not see Israel’s desire to carry out any peace plans.”

STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 29:

Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 29, 2024: at least 42,334* (41,615 in Gaza* – 11,308 women (30%), 16,859 children as of September 5. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 719 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

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

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

At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 25 from West Bank).
At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
Palestinian injuries from October 7 – September 29: at least 102,059 (including at least 96,359 in Gaza and 5,700 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 29, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is 1,640 (104 children, 194 women) and 8,408 injuries. More recently, since September 16, 1,030 have been killed, 6,352 have been injured., with 6,352 injuries, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Saturday, September 28.

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

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

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

***The figure does not include the reportedly 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.

Top 10 Human Rights Violations by Netanyahu Against Palestinian People
Netanyahu has implemented policies that have drawn widespread condemnation for violating the human rights of Palestinians.

Johnny PunishSeptember 29, 2024

VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel

Israel’s complex and often controversial political landscape has made human rights a central issue in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a figurehead in Israeli politics for decades, has been overwhelmingly condemned for his policies regarding the Palestinian people.

Throughout his tenure, numerous incidents and policies under his administration have drawn widespread criticism from human rights organizations, who rightly accuse him of violating international human rights law and the rights of Palestinians.



Below are 10 major human rights violations attributed to Netanyahu’s policies, along with actions taken during his time as Prime Minister:

1. Expansion of Illegal Settlements

Violation: Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, areas considered occupied under international law, have expanded significantly during Netanyahu’s rule. These settlements are illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the transfer of the occupier’s population into occupied territory.

Action Taken: Netanyahu has consistently supported settlement expansion, viewing it as part of Israel’s security and historical claim. Despite international condemnation and numerous UN resolutions calling for a halt to settlement activities, he has continued to approve and promote their growth, especially in sensitive areas like East Jerusalem and Hebron.

2. Forced Evictions and Home Demolitions

Violation: Thousands of Palestinian homes in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and inside Israel have been demolished under Netanyahu’s leadership. These demolitions often target Palestinian homes that Israel claims were built without permits, even though obtaining such permits is extremely difficult for Palestinians.

Action Taken: Netanyahu’s government has accelerated the demolition of Palestinian homes, particularly in areas slated for settlement expansion. The evictions of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan in East Jerusalem during 2021 gained international attention and were widely condemned as violations of Palestinians’ right to housing.

3. The Gaza Blockade

Violation: Since 2007, Israel has imposed a strict land, sea, and air blockade on Gaza, which has been labeled by many international human rights organizations as collective punishment of Gaza’s civilian population. The blockade restricts movement, trade, and access to essential goods and services, severely impacting the lives of over 2 million people.

Action Taken: Netanyahu has continued and, at times, intensified the blockade, citing security concerns over Hamas. The blockade has led to severe shortages of food, medicine, and other essential supplies, creating a humanitarian crisis. Critics argue that this violates the basic human rights of Palestinians, especially the right to freedom of movement and access to healthcare.

4. Use of Excessive Force Against Protesters

Violation: Israeli security forces have been accused of using excessive force against Palestinian protesters, particularly during the Great March of Return in Gaza between 2018 and 2019. Hundreds of Palestinians were killed and thousands injured, many of them unarmed, including children, journalists, and medical workers.

Action Taken: Netanyahu’s government has defended the use of force, citing the need to protect Israel’s borders and prevent infiltration by militants. However, human rights groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have condemned the disproportionate response, accusing Israeli forces of war crimes for targeting unarmed civilians.

5. The Nation-State Law

Violation: In 2018, Netanyahu’s government passed the Jewish Nation-State Law, which officially enshrines Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. Critics argue that the law discriminates against non-Jewish citizens, particularly Palestinians, and undermines their rights to self-determination, equality, and cultural expression.

Action Taken: Despite widespread criticism from within Israel and internationally, Netanyahu defended the law as essential to preserving Israel’s Jewish character. The law’s passage has been seen as a step toward institutionalizing discrimination against Israel’s Palestinian citizens, who make up roughly 20% of the population.

6. Military Raids and Arbitrary Detentions

Violation: Under Netanyahu, Israeli forces have conducted frequent military raids in the West Bank, often leading to mass arrests, including of children, without charge or trial. Many of those detained are held under “administrative detention,” which allows Israel to imprison Palestinians indefinitely without formal charges or due process.

Action Taken: These actions have been justified by Netanyahu as necessary for Israel’s security and counterterrorism efforts. However, human rights groups argue that such practices violate the rights to fair trial, liberty, and protection from arbitrary detention. The widespread detention of Palestinian minors has also drawn international outcry.

7. Collective Punishment in Gaza

Violation: During Israeli military operations in Gaza, Netanyahu’s government has been accused of collective punishment, where the civilian population suffers for the actions of militants. This includes the destruction of civilian infrastructure, including homes, schools, hospitals, and sewage systems, often described as disproportionate and indiscriminate.

Action Taken: Netanyahu’s government has launched several military offensives in Gaza, including Operations Cast Lead (2008-2009), Pillar of Defense (2012), and Protective Edge (2014). These operations have resulted in high civilian casualties and widespread destruction, leading to accusations of war crimes by international bodies.

8. Segregation and Discrimination in Access to Resources

Violation: In the West Bank, Palestinians face systemic discrimination in access to water, land, and electricity. Israeli settlers are granted unrestricted access to these resources, while Palestinians face severe restrictions.

Action Taken: Under Netanyahu, policies have continued to favor settlers over Palestinians. Israel controls over 80% of water resources in the West Bank, and Palestinians often receive far less water than Israeli settlers. Human rights organizations have denounced this disparity as a violation of Palestinians’ right to water and equal treatment.

9. Restriction of Freedom of Movement

Violation: Palestinians living in the West Bank are subject to numerous checkpoints, roadblocks, and barriers, severely restricting their freedom of movement. This affects their ability to access healthcare, education, and employment.

Action Taken: Netanyahu’s government has maintained and, at times, expanded the system of checkpoints and roadblocks. Although Israel cites security concerns, the restrictions on movement are seen as disproportionate and unnecessary, severely impeding Palestinians’ daily lives.

10. Undermining Palestinian Political Rights

Violation: Netanyahu has actively opposed Palestinian efforts toward statehood and political independence, repeatedly rejecting international efforts to create a two-state solution. His government has consistently pushed policies that undermine the political rights of Palestinians, including their right to self-determination.

Action Taken: Netanyahu has supported annexing parts of the West Bank, notably the Jordan Valley while opposing Palestinian membership in international organizations like the United Nations. His government’s efforts to block the recognition of Palestinian statehood have drawn criticism from global leaders and human rights advocates.

Oh wait, did I mention SERIAL KILLER NENTANYAHU has murdered over 40,000 human beings in Gaza in the last year destroying the homes of millions in the process? Yeah, that may need to be added here as the # 1 thing on this list.

Conclusion

Throughout his political career, Netanyahu has implemented policies that have drawn widespread condemnation for violating the human rights of Palestinians. From expanding illegal settlements to imposing harsh military blockades, his actions have led to the systematic suppression of Palestinian rights. Despite international pressure and numerous human rights reports, Netanyahu has defended his policies as being in the interest of Israeli security, often sidelining Palestinian human rights in the process.

Mass Walkout as ‘Global Pariah’ Netanyahu Addresses UN General Assembly

Common Dreams reports:

A large number of diplomats and other officials walked out of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Friday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to defend his nation’s slaughter of more than 41,000 people in the Gaza Strip during the past year and over 700 in Lebanon this week.

Journalists and critics of the “global pariah” shared photos and videos of people filing out of the hall before Netanyahu’s address—which came just a day after 25 anti-genocide protesters were arrested for blocking his motorcade in Manhattan.

While there was some audience applause from the sparsely populated room on Friday, Al Jazeera Arabic’s Rami Ayari explained that “the people you hear cheering the PM during the speech are in the gallery who he brought for that purpose.”

Netanyahu began his Friday address by taking aim at the world leaders who throughout the week have condemned the recent escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon as well as the past year of Israeli forces bombing and starving Palestinians in Gaza.

“I didn’t intend to come here this year. My country is at war fighting for its life,” Netanyahu said. “But, after I heard the lies and slanders leveled at my country by many of the speakers standing at this podium, I decided to come here and set the record straight.”

Armed with more of his infamous maps of the Middle East, the right-wing leader went on to claim that “Israel seeks peace,” while also pledging to wage war on Hamas-governed Gaza until “total victory” and telling “the tyrants of Tehran” that “if you strike us, we will strike you.”

Noting that Netanyahu also spoke of “savage enemies who seek to destroy our common civilization,” James Zogby, co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, said: “Words spoken by the man who has been charged with genocide and crimes against humanity. This is a disgrace. Abusing the General Assembly platform to lie and incite.”

JEWISH NEWS SYNDICATE (JNS) ADDS: Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. envoy to the global body, and Robert Wood, the political special affairs ambassador who tends to take her place at the Security Council, did not appear to be in the room.

An excerpt from Netanyahu’s defiant speech to the UN – to a largely empty chamber, except for the guest area, which was filled with Israel supporters:



Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also declared,

I say to you, until Israel – until the Jewish state – is treated like other nations, until this anti-Semitic swamp is drained, the UN will be viewed by fair-minded people everywhere as nothing more than a contemptuous farce.

Popularity of Netanyahu’s Likud party grows as Israel pounds Lebanon: Survey

Al Jazeera reports:

A poll conducted by Israeli daily Maariv shows that Israel’s deadly attacks on Lebanon have significantly boosted the popularity of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.

If elections were held today, Likud would lead with 25 seats in the Knesset, compared with 19 for its main rival, the opposition National Unity party led by Benny Gantz, the survey showed.

This is the first time since the war on Gaza began last year that Likud has gained such an advantage, the newspaper said.

Blinken faces calls to resign after lying to Congress to cover for Israel’s genocide

Middle East Monitor reports:

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is facing mounting pressure to resign after a report earlier this week uncovered that he misled Congress about Israel’s obstruction of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The 62-year-old, who is a staunch Zionist, is said to have misled the American people to maintain US weapons flow to Israel despite fears that the apartheid state is committing genocide in Gaza.

The report details how Blinken contradicted findings from his own department’s experts and USAID in a May report to Congress, stating that Israel was not “prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of US humanitarian assistance” to Gaza.

It’s believed that Blinken misled the government because US law prohibits the supply of arms to countries blocking American humanitarian aid.

Israel is a small country lacking the means to manufacture weapons at a rate required to execute regular wars and preserve its so-called deterrence capacity.

Israel’s ability to carry out a year-long assault on Gaza would be severely hampered without the constant supply of weapons from the US and its western allies.

US to ‘adjust’ its military force posture in Middle East

Al Jazeera reports:

President Joe Biden directed the Pentagon to “assess and adjust as necessary US force posture” in the Middle East, the White House says, following repeated Israeli air strikes in southern Beirut collapsed at least six residential towers in the heavily populated Dahiyeh area.

“He has directed the Pentagon to assess and adjust as necessary US force posture in the region to enhance deterrence, ensure force protection, and support the full range of US objectives,” the White House said in a statement.

Secretary of State Blinken said Friday, “I want to be clear that anyone using this moment to target American personnel, American interests in the region – the United States will take every measure to defend our people.”

MILITARY TIMES ADDS: The U.S. has kept an increased military presence in the Middle East throughout much of the past year, with about 40,000 forces, at least a dozen warships and four Air Force fighter jet squadrons spread across the region both to protect allies and to serve as a deterrent against attacks, several U.S. officials said.

West Bank: Israeli forces destroy food warehouse during raid

WAFA reports:

A convoy of Israeli military vehicles stormed the occupied West Bank city of Qalqilya in the early hours of Friday morning.

Israeli forces toured the city’s Kafr Saba neighborhood, where they raided a workshop and a food warehouse, destroying the contents of the latter.

Israel accused of breaking global labor law by withholding Palestinian worker pay

The Guardian reports:

Ten trade unions have accused Israel of breaching international labor law by holding back pay and benefits from more than 200,000 Palestinian workers since 7 October.

The Israeli government stands accused of “blatant” violations of the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) protection of wages convention, tipping many Palestinians into extreme poverty.

Workers from Gaza and the West Bank, employed in Israel, did not receive payment for work completed prior to last October 7th, and have received no wages since, according to the complaint.

A complaint filed on Friday aims to recover the wages of Palestinian workers who previously worked in Israel.

Israel revoked work permits for about 13,000 Palestinian workers from the Gaza Strip to work legally in Israel following the Hamas attack on 7 October, according to the complaint, leaving those workers with unpaid wages from September and October. Those wages would have normally been paid on 9 October.

An additional nearly 200,000 Palestinian workers from the West Bank employed in Israel have not been permitted to enter Israel, and have received no termination notices, according to the brief, which argues they are owed wages stipulated by their employment contracts for their previous work and subsequent months.

The unions allege that Israel is violating the ILO’s protection of wages convention, which has been ratified by a hundred member states, including Israel in 1959…

US’ Blinken urges diplomacy as Israel intensifies attacks in Lebanon

Anadolu Agency reports:

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday called for path to diplomacy as Israel intensified its strikes in Lebanon, warning both Israel and Hezbollah to “stop firing”.

“The most important thing to do through diplomacy is to try first to stop firing in both directions, and then to use the time that we would have in such a ceasefire to see if we can reach a broader diplomatic agreement,” Blinken told reporters at a news conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

“The path to diplomacy may seem difficult to see at this moment, but it is there, and in our judgment, is necessary, and we will continue to work intensely with all parties to urge them to choose that course,” he said.

NOTE: Blinken’s both-sides-ism sidesteps the facts: Israel has been responsible for about 82 percent of the cross-border attacks.



Google Was Set to Host an Israeli Military Conference. When We Asked About It, the Event Disappeared.

The Intercept reports:

The Israel Defense Tech Conference, aimed at tech companies working with the Israeli military, was scheduled for November at the Google for Startups campus in Tel Aviv.

The event, according to a listing posted on the event management app Luma, was pitched at “founders, investors and innovators” looking to network and learn more about the defense tech space.

It was co-sponsored by Google; Fusion Venture Capital; Genesis, a startup accelerator; and the Israeli military’s research and development arm, known as the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D, or Ma’fat).

Google was not only listed as the physical host of the event and one of its sponsors, but the event listing also included a notice that attendees “approve of sharing [their] details with the organizers (Fusion & Google)” as part of signing up.

When The Intercept contacted Google and the other companies and venture capital firms on the event page, the event page disappeared. Google spokesperson Andréa Willis told The Intercept in an email, “Google is not associated with this event.”

Willis did not respond when asked how this could be possible if Google is hosting and co-sponsoring the event, or why the event page went down. None of the other companies or venture capital firms on the event page responded to requests for comment.

After months of sustained protests against Google’s relationship with Israel, the company appears to be trying to muddy that relationship, at least in the public eye, while continuing its collaboration with the Israeli military…

STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 27:

Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 27, 2024: at least 42,304* (41,586 in Gaza* – 11,308 women (30%), 16,715 children as of September 5. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 718 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

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

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

At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 23 from West Bank).
At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
Palestinian injuries from October 7 – September 27: at least 101,910 (including at least 96,210 in Gaza and 5,700 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 27, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

The death toll from Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon since Oct. 8 has reached 1,540 including women and children, with some 5,410 injured, a Lebanese official said Wednesday. The number of displaced individuals registered in approved shelters is 77,100. The actual number of displaced people has likely surpassed 250,000.

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.

***More than 40 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.

“MK ULTRA on Steroids”: Dr. Robert Duncan Reports On Today’s Neurotech Targeting of Humanity, Secrecy, and The Need For Change
Posted on February 24, 2020 by Ramola D
Report | Ramola D | 2/24/2020




https://youtu.be/yahugQ1cBo0
Reports from the field began to indicate that people were being targeted with neurotechnologies and brain-computer-interface (BCI) technologies of the kind he had helped develop, he says, for purposes of use on battlefields against enemy personnel. The excitement of being involved in developing BCI communications suddenly changed.

“I got into this line of research because I thought I would be the first to do computer to human brain communications, and I found now this group of targeted individuals who were complaining about the exact thing that you would expect from a weaponized version of BC and computer interface technologies …and I’m like, this is a bit coincidental. And rarely am I the first to discover anything so I did more research, thoroughly convinced after working on portions of it for DARPA and then realizing oh my gosh, this is my work they’re using to harm people.”

Dr. Robert Duncan tried to alert Congress in 2000, he says, along with trusted friends in the FBI, but to no avail.

“I even went with the former head of the LA FBI to Congress, spoke to the Judiciary Committee, the Armed Forces community, 23 senators and most importantly the Intelligence Committee, and they are supposed to be the oversight, it was obvious to me that this was MKULTRA on steroids, same tactics being used–the blank control, the breakdown of the human will, and using as programmed assassins or Manchurian candidates or whatever their desire may be–just eliminate the target. And the further I followed the White Rabbit down the hole, the more disturbing it got.”

Congressmembers in this millenium seem to have reacted very differently to those in the 1970s during the Frank Church Committee hearings.

“This is when I lost faith in my government–it was that event. The Senate Intelligence Committee said we’ve never heard of MK Ultra and that’s their one job –to know the background of Mk Ultra–the head of the FBI and I are looking at each other like oh this is not gonna go well, they’re starting off with a lie, they’ve never heard of this.”

Project MK ULTRA was the CIA’s Multi-Sub-Projected Behavior Modification Program, Currently Being Exposed as Ongoing

As most informed readers know, MK Ultra was one of the unethical experimental behavior modification and mind control programs with many subprojects run by the CIA (MK Delta, MK Naomi, Mk Often, Project Bluebird, Project Artichoke were some of the others) from the ’50s upward, exposed at the Church Committee Hearings before Congress in 1975, and further exposed by other journalists and writers afterward, including, especially, John Marks in his book The Search for the Manchurian Candidate.

Contents, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate by John Marks
Now it is becoming clear to many that the unethical and invasive programs of MK ULTRA, in addition to various other clandestine projects from the DoD and CIA are regrettably flourishing. Dr. Duncan also notes that now MK Ultra “has gone through so many name changes, we just use it as an anchor point, but who knows what the new budget and the new name is at this point.”

Secrecy and compartmentalization have served to keep the actuality of the horrors of these brain-experimentation programs—which reporting victims assert openly is torture, comprising both brain and body takeover—hidden for decades, but Dr. Duncan hints that change is just around the corner, meaning a few years away, and says this may occur over the next ten years.

“Only a very few at the highest level know what’s going on so they have to fool everybody down the chain; and it works well, it works well but their house of cards and lies is going to collapse and there’ll be quite a blowback.”

Neuro Targeting of All Humanity Today Includes No-Boundaries Neuro Modification Experiments on Some Unlawfully Targeted for Terminal Neuro Study: Targeted Individuals

Neuromodification experiments that feckless military and intelligence scientists have been working on include setting up thought filters to prevent crime, replacing inner voice, voice morphing, synthetic dreams, hiving minds, creating brain nets, and laying software layers over the hardware of the brain, says Dr. Duncan. The sensations of hive minds speaking inside someone’s skull, V2K (Voice to Skull), and synthetic telepathy which many report are highly invasive and essentially constitute soul-stealing, taking away someone’s personal privacy, soul, and will. Dr. Duncan also points viewers and readers to his recent MIT lecture, Hacking the Human Mind: The Art and Science of Neuroweapons–Ethical Considerations of Capable Weapons, where he has spoken more extensively on different modalities of neuro hacking in use today.

Counterintelligence Has Ensured Disinformation and Secrecy, New World Order Rollouts Have Ensured Worldwide Neuro/DEW Targeting

How the CIA and DOD—whose neurotargeting and brain stealing programs span the Earth, via military-intelligence agreements and overarching New World Order encroachments (Dr. Duncan references George Bush Sr’s well-known pronouncements on an impending NWO and Joe Biden’s recent mention of same)–have gotten away with keeping these mind control programs hidden has to do largely with counterintelligence, says Dr. Duncan.



Efforts have been made deliberately to sow disinformation in the media, with focus on stories of UFOs, aliens, abductions, while insidious mind control technologies inclusive of television programming have been used on all over several decades; according to Dr. Duncan, these technologies have been in use over 60 years and scientists in the intelligence and military echelons of power are not going to come forward now to confess to having long manipulated the minds of people to affect placements of power in various places, or create Manchurian assassins for espionage or other agendas.


JFK was killed, Dr. Duncan suggests, because he was getting ready to reveal these mind control programs which have embraced secrecy like a second skin; the rise of the military industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned against has given great power today to the military and created a war economy and invincibility of secrecy in their ranks.

Dr. Duncan believes the rollout of the New World Order we are already immersed in will worsen as military technologies are rolled out to Law Enforcement—something which has already occurred, over various programs, including the JPSG (DoD-DOJ Joint Program Steering Group) programs discussed in this recent report, set up by way of a DOD-DOJ agreement to jointly develop non-lethal technologies in 1994, reported here earlier.

Public Discussions on Neuroethics Needed, Commercial Neurotechnologies Being Positioned to Take the Fall for Unethical Clandestine Military/Intelligence Neuro Research

Yet it is a hopeful sign, Dr. Duncan notes, that the fields of neuroethics and bioethics exist today and that questions are being raised about the ethicality of these experiments and initiatives to control people’s minds with acoustic and radiation and BCI technologies.

A fan of Elon Musk, who has made public statements that Neuralace is being tested via injection and hinted at awareness of undisclosed Defense programs, Dr. Duncan does not believe Elon Musk is necessarily an insider in that respect but in developing neurotechnologies himself, such as Neuralink, represents the commercializing of neurotechnologies which the DOD hopes will surface the news of Mind Control and Brain Tech to the masses and eventually also take the fall for all invasive uses of same.


Image: Zerohedge article
Regarding Dr. Giordiano, whose many lectures are now widely online, revealing the use of invasive neuromodulating neuroweaponry, Dr. Duncan agreed with this writer’s point of view that there appeared to be a rather obvious conflict of interest in a military neuroscientist and neuroweapons creator being lead neuroethicist at Georgetown University.


Image: Screenshot from Public Disclosure which includes a few videos from Dr. Giordiano
It must be noted that this writer is aware that Dr. Duncan is probably unable to speak openly about many aspects of this situation because of his previous classified work for military and Intelligence agencies and related non-disclosure agreements, and also probably does not wish to address too closely the actions of colleagues in the same space.

Stating he can “only speak of technologies known to the public” he expresses nevertheless a great need for public discussions and conversations such as this one, in order to raise public awareness of the many issues surrounding neurotechnologies, such as: Who is the real criminal if a person is neuromodified to commit crime?

“How can you have justice if you don’t know whose mind was behind the actions of the body–and so it’s gonna turn the justice system on its head. They can erase memories, reprogram them with false memories and so you can’t even use the polygraph test.”


Image: BCI Security, UW Biorobotics Lab
Technologies cannot be uncreated, he states, but they can and should be regulated. Or banned. While the number of non-consensual military and Intelligence brain-experimentees he estimates at the low end to be 10,000, Dr. Duncan suggests that the wide variety of mind control tech in use today being leveled to various degree at all suggests that at the high end, everyone in the entire world is being subjected to mind control of one sort or another.

Steps to Take Moving Forward, Importance of a Moral Compass

What can people do about this, is an abiding question, and Dr. Duncan suggests a good start may be to contact your Senators before March 15, 2020 to ensure the non-renewal of Section 215 of the Patriot Act which permits warrantless surveillance. What to Expect of the Patriot Act Reauthorization by the Project on Government Oversight covers some of the basics on this matter.

His own conviction is that a complete reorganization of the US government is needed, and that certainly seems to be indicated as reports of those targeted deleteriously with stealth neurotechnologies continue to mount. Reports and testimonials from suffering victims attesting to torture can be found widely online including at this media site and at the video YouTube channel Ramola D Reports.

It is a rare scientist with a conscience who is willing to speak to whatever extent about these still “classified” matters being concealed under veils of supposed “National Security” and we are privileged that Dr. Robert Duncan has chosen to speak out.

“I will tell you I’ve worked with some of the most brilliant scientists in the world but only a few of them were not morally flexible and that’s the term they use in the CIA – they didn’t really care, they don’t care–and I just wasn’t born that way. I adhere to my primary directive which is to optimize happiness, minimize suffering, and a sustainable way of life for all living creatures on this planet–very simple, and maybe my formula’s different from others but it keeps my moral compass.”

Also hopeful is his report that many behind the curtains of non-disclosures and top-secret clearances are watching all our many activism efforts to surface the crimes of non-consensual neuro-experimentation and are “cheerleading” our work. It is to be hoped that many of these observers will indeed also come forward one day soon to further the disclosure and halt these criminal experimentation programs executing profound crimes against humanity on Americans and people worldwide.

Many thanks to Dr. Robert Duncan for his vitally important writings and his willingness despite all costs to himself to engage in public conversation on this critical subject. Dr. Duncan’s many interviews and video talks can be widely found on YouTube and elsewhere online. Links to some to be posted here shortly.

Of Cults, Lies, Covers, and Hiding (Out of Plain View): Nope, Robert Duncan Isn't Dead & DARPA-CIA Brain-Bio-Chakra Hacking of Humans is Beyond Inhumane & Unlawful
So it’s been a while, I think since news suddenly dropped that Robert Duncan was dead, then that he’d been “killed by a DEW”, then that his “body was found”: don’t believe a word of it.


Dr. Robert Duncan at the October 22 2022 Worldwide Unethical DEW/Neurotech Targeting Conference at Ramola D Reports
Note, I interviewed him as a whistleblower, as he presented himself, he was present and spoke at the Second Worldwide Unethical DEW/Neurotech Targeting and Non-Consensual AI/Cybernetics/Brain Experimentation Conference online held October 22, 2022 at Ramola D Reports as a whistleblower, and he appeared, over the course of many years, to surface many of the dark technologies and practices of “compartmented” Special Forces inside the DOD-CIA—but looking through his first book again—The Matrix Deciphered—currently, it is clear there is a kind of CIA Coverstory created by and through and in his disclosure, a deflecting and mythologizing—of the kind perhaps that the CIA MockOpsters specialize in, that does need to be analyzed and exposed further. And it is this Pursuance of Coverstory, despite all evidence of an Awakening World, that sadly surfaces here in the sudden “Above Top Secret” Disappearing of a prominent DARPA-CIA scientist such as Robert Duncan. Disappearing people of public renown, in the public eye for a (long) period of time, is apparently an Intelligence ploy—and surely, there is a (bizarre, absurd “intelligent”) reason for it, one which no doubt will surface soon enough.

Pain “Signaling”—say Inflicting—as a Means to Get Into Brains and “Develop Cognitive Models”: Beyond Unlawful

That Anti-Human Directed Energy Weapons have been developed (over decades, over almost the whole of the last century) by a secretive military prominently headed by the even more secretive CIA and been used, in most primary ways—to create Pain, to create Misery, Suffering, Horror, in Luciferian Human-Sacrifice ways to destroy bodies and lives—on pretty much everyone who has stepped forward to report unethical brain experimentation and massive bio and energy (chakra) hacking is something that Robert Duncan apparently just forgot to report.

The Mystery of Robert Duncan is the Mystery of the CIA and DARPA and Black Ops Projects Which Should Be Stopped Stat


Brain Invaders/Screenshot
Blazing (more prominently) onto the world stage in Jesse Ventura’s unforgettable interview (Brain Invaders/Tru TV, Air Date: 12-17-2012) on targeting, radio neuroweapons, Voice of God weapons, and people hiding under metalware of various kinds (bakeware works—so does rubber, better than leather) as Black Opsters from DARPA, CIA, and all the forces—particularly the Marine Corps of course with their Joint Non Lethal Weapons Directorate firing opening salvos from Dahlgren Virginia (where their rusting battleships hide in plain view as you drive quickly by)—go wild with whacking people with bio-hacking and brain-hacking and chakra-hacking weapons to achieve all sorts of invasive, intrusive, and all-unlawful “bio-effects,” disabling many, injuring all, killing some (in numbers mounting over the years), Dr. Robert Duncan as he has been termed by many hopefuls, including this writer, who has interviewed him, may not have completed a doctorate but wrote, spoke, interviewed, and published enough to be situated at head of a large, very large train of CIA personas, it appears, each working hard (including in “Media” (say Crimcastia)) to faintly surface the crime while in fact permitting it to continue.


That show, outfitting former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura with all the full-on, side, and ambience effects of the American Horror Movie genre, thrillingly sconced in “Conspiracy Theory” (you’re meant to equate one with the other) is one to watch if you want to acquaint yourself both with the history of the tech and the history of the cover-up, nicely surfaced here. [#MockOp Media at its finest.]


Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura: Brain Invaders
“I’ve empowered the dark side by some of my work, “ said Robert Duncan, on Brain Invaders. “Technology is Neutral. It can be good or evil. But I’ve worked on projects for the CIA, Justice Department, Department of Defense.” When asked what exactly he did and where he worked “in all this Sensitive area” (one Freemason to another?), he said “That’s Sensitive Information, I can’t tell you that.” Yes, he answered to “Voices in People’s Heads.” Yes, it’s the Ultimate Weapon. They’re called Voice of God weapons.” As in, Yes, the Government’s putting Voices in Heads. “So you know for a fact that these weapons you worked on, they’re being used domestically today?” “Absolutely,” responded Duncan to that.

Confirmation from the Inside, of the CIA’s Domestic Use of NeuroWeapons on Americans: That’s all the Closure anyone needs, watching, listening—in 2012 when this show was produced and aired—to that question, put to a CIA-DOD-DOJ scientist (How do DOD and DOJ go together, at all?): Are these weapons being used domestically by the CIA-DOD (and DOJ?) today? And the answer is Yes, Yes, Absolutely Yes.

The Blackest of Black of Black Ops: “They Hide in Dark Crevices” “They Can’t be Removed” (Says Who?)

But it’s there that Duncan drops the CIA-Mythmaking answer. ”Are these people crazy or is the government doing this to them?” First, “The Government is doing this to them,” then, “You have to remember, the CIA has a long history of experimenting on our citizens—LSD…”

“Sure—You’re talking MK Ultra and things like that going back to the Sixties and Seventies—but we were told all that stopped—is that untrue?

“Untrue—These programs continue under new names, new budgets…It’s the ultimate weapon…”

“To your knowledge today, are there citizens that are being abused today with this technology?”

“Worse than Abused—that’s a light word. They are being Tortured.”

…”Who are the Controllers? I mean is that the President, the Federal Reserve?”

“No.”

“So these are people within our government and they are not necessarily our President or our elected officials?”

“That’s exactly right.”

“Wow—that makes it even more difficult. Because that means they can’t be removed.”

“No. They can’t be removed and they are difficult to find. They hide in the dark crevices of our government.” Earlier: “It’s part of the whole World Domination Strategy: Control the Population, from subconsciously to consciously”—he meant with radio transmissions, ELF (extremely low frequencies, brain frequency transmissions), voices floated over them, sinewaved into people’s heads, insidiously influencing, persuading, dissuading, decimating Self.

A Techno Influence Op earlier run only by the Ad Men (with English) but now juicy fare for the Neuro Men (with Radio Waves): The ones with the Bow Ties on top.

And one that’s gone on so long the CIA believes it can go on forever. “They can’t be removed”? Really?

Says Who?





“MK ULTRA on Steroids”: Dr. Robert Duncan Reports On Today’s Neurotech Targeting of Humanity, Secrecy, and The Need For Change | The EveryDay Concerned Citizen

Has Robert Duncan been cloned or can he just change the color of his eyes? (Some people can.) Did he start up working for the CIA again or did he never leave? Idaho or Sydney, Greenland or Brazil, Robert’s Renaissance education certainly equipped him well to row on both sides of the boat (the Slave Ship we’re all on: EarthPlane, galleoned).


Anti-Personnel Directed Energy Weapons—inclusive of Spectrum and Acoustic Neuroweapons—have been in recent times exposed in many different ways, through many different means—at military and other conferences, Senate hearings, through declassified documents, by whistleblowers and by military journalists; most crucially, they have been exposed in reports on FOIA-released documents and interviews with whistleblowers and reporters—including by this writer and journalist—as unethical, inhumane, and inflictive of untenable cruelty on people both in the USA and worldwide.

What we are asked to believe is that Black Ops Science, secretive, manic, military, and Intelligence-led is and must and can and should go on Forever, while the scientists at the helm, at the founding, and at the front of the Cover-Up, literally operating in plain view among those unlawfully targeted, non-consensually implanted, stalked by criminals, attacked by criminals, and brain and bio-cannibalized by criminals occupying offices at DOD, DOJ, DOE, DARPA, CIA, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, DHS, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Army, all hospitals, ambulance companies, numerous Primary Care practices, “Mental Health” and “Behavioral Health” centers, and Psycho-docsters (occupying positions of made-up power as “Psychiatrist Dia-Gnosers”) should escape close scrutiny, can be suddenly retired—without full disclosure—or passed into the realm of sudden felling (death), to be ever immortalized as supreme whistleblower, without blemish.

Brain experimentation—cannibalizing of brains and lives—has been unethical from the get-go and all those working in Robotics, in Artificial Intelligence, in Neuroscience, in Medical Military Madness in the military know it.

To cast those unlawfully watchlisted by a failed FBI and DHS and sold unlawfully—trafficked—into human slavery under “Black Ops”: Classified Cover, inside the CIA, inside Special Access Programs, Controlled Access Programs to be literally blasted out of their brains and lives with deadly energy neuroweapons while brain decoders, brain stimulators, brain thieves and AP DEW weapon-wielders are placed around them in their own neighborhoods, attacking them nonstop, literally 24/7 and they are subject to “pain signaling” misery requiring cowering and shielding and pain-medication and constant healthcare—as in some way some kind of unique grouping and species—an Acceptable Pariah species, to be gifted a cultic “Juden” “Targeted Individual” label and disappeared as “Delusional, Paranoid, Psychotic, Schizophrenic”—is the height of Crime. It is Military Crime, it is Intelligence Crime, it is Police Crime, it is Medical Crime. It is Human Rights Crime to be firmly, absolutely, completely, absolutely, irrevocably Ended.

Instead what we have are “Targeted Individual” shenanigans, “Targeted Justice Media”—”Alt Media” gone nuts with the endless cover-up, endless hiding of the Hidden Hand—and a CIA #MockOp mechanism so huge, so spread-out, so invasive (of all journalism) it seeks to steal and cannibalize all it possibly can, inverting and subverting reality to its own crooked ends, imagining it can go on forever.

The sad CIA multimedia efforts here seem to be a kind of pastiche add-on from the Fifties when perhaps they began to get a little cocky about their cover-ups as they blew into Area 51 storytelling, little grey men, cow mutilations (with lasers) being deeply beneficent “experiments” run on Earth species by distant aliens, tall and sticklike and deep-eyed and anally-obsessed no doubt, but oh so magnanimous really, and seeking only to learn and grow (substitute Terrorize and Cannibalize poor gentle cows trying to sleep at night) on their own distant planets far beyond the burning sun (poised exactly 93 million miles away) (gasp!).

“Conspiracy Theory” has been such an amazing cover for the Cult-Creators out in Intel La La Land.

We are spellbound, examining their decades-long imploding of journalism.

For they have shot themselves in the foot now, and nothing they do can get them out of it. Whirl and whirl and whirl deeper into that bizzare convoluted trickster depth of Lies and what have you got? Nothing but “Strategic Deception.”

Robert Duncan has written a lot of interesting and useful and surfacing-of-the-crime material, his presence at his public talks and conferences and interviews including this writer’s second historic online conference in 2022 (during and after which the CIA almost finished her off—but no one else who attended, now how exactly does that work?) certainly speaks to the horrors of Radio Neural Molesting, “Synthetic Telepathy” (Try Techno Spy Tech, carefully inserted behind the ears in Lasered Incisions of the Skull/or Skin thereof, or any one of the precision sound projection technologies like Holosonic developed by (the CIA probably in conjunction with) private-sector sound technician freaks), Brain Decoding and Acoustic Neuro Net Tech, Brain Computer Interfaces and Computer Brain Interfaces, and other brain invasion tech like Electronic Dreams, Forced Speech, Memory Removal and Insertion of Speech, Sound, Thoughts, Images. But there is a lot of deflective Disinfo mixed in with the news reportage, and how we know this is by perusing the actually released military documents on FOIA.

That is where we need to go for the real information here—and even that is spiked with vagueness, refusal to reveal all—but clearly, the CIA Media’sters (some operating from right next door to this writer, working hard on keeping their red beards glued to their spying chins) are desperately trying to shore up their losses and bumble on, pretending, posturing, privileging Medicos, selling their cult-setups as “orgs” and their pin-up poseurs as “New Media” (gold on black lettering for you if you Comply: You Must say “Havana Havana Havana” then say “CIA Officers Were Hit” “Yes, CIA” “Very much so, CIA, we, We were Victimized” by guess who? Of course: Russia Russia Russia. [Meanwhile, Russia’s front and center here as New CIA Media.]

Noticing the CIA May Be the Best Way Forward

Send the CIA/DARPA set some Letters of Notice of Crime please, for their cavalier invasions of our bodies, brains, and lives, to be published directly online so the whole world can count the letters and read the living text. Then write and keep writing. Speak and keep speaking. Film and keep filming. Do not stop—for Crime never pays, and DARPA-CIA and friends need to be Completely Exposed for their crimes.

For the Reign of these weapons has ended, and they need to be wrested from all wielders and buried forever, for All Time.

BREAKING NEWS:Whistleblower exposes Bill Gates’ terrifying plan to unleash monkeypox via chemtrails in major cities. Discover the shocking truth behind “Project Skypox” and the sinister plot to create a new pandemic, enforce draconian measures, and seize global control. This is not a conspiracy—it’s a deadly reality!

WHISTLEBLOWER EXPOSES BILL GATES’ DANGEROUS PLOT TO SEED MONKEYPOX IN MAJOR CITIES THROUGH CHEMTRAILS

In a world that increasingly feels like a dystopian nightmare, a shocking and deeply disturbing revelation has emerged from within the hallowed halls of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. A courageous whistleblower has stepped forward, risking everything to expose a horrifying plan that could plunge the world into chaos.

This is not a conspiracy theory. This is the stark reality that we are now facing.

The Unveiling of Project Skypox

A senior scientist from within the Gates Foundation, who has chosen to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, has blown the lid off a covert operation known as “Project Skypox.” According to this brave insider, Project Skypox is a clandestine effort to use the existing chemtrail operations—those persistent, mysterious streaks across our skies—to unleash a highly contagious and aerosolized form of monkeypox (Mpox) on unsuspecting civilian populations. The goal? To spark a new pandemic, one that would pave the way for draconian vaccine mandates and severe restrictions on personal freedoms.

This revelation is not just a mere rumor or speculation. The whistleblower, a senior scientist deeply embedded within the foundation, has provided compelling evidence of this plot. The existence of Project Skypox, if proven true, represents one of the most egregious abuses of power and science in modern history. The implications are vast and terrifying.

The Internal Struggle: A Divided Foundation

The whistleblower reveals that the Gates Foundation is far from united on this issue. Within the organization, there is a growing rift between those who are morally opposed to the idea of deliberately seeding a pandemic and those who are either too afraid or too complicit to speak out. This internal discord is said to be causing significant tension within the foundation, with some members wrestling with their consciences while others remain steadfast in their allegiance to Bill Gates’ vision.

According to the whistleblower, Bill Gates himself is laser-focused on the success of Project Skypox. Despite the ethical concerns raised by some of his staff, Gates is reportedly determined to push ahead with the plan, viewing it as a necessary step to achieve his broader goals. This raises serious questions about the extent of Gates’ influence and the lengths he is willing to go to in order to achieve his objectives.

The Mechanics of Project Skypox: How It Works

To fully grasp the gravity of this situation, it’s essential to understand how Project Skypox is intended to work. The operation is reportedly designed to exploit the existing chemtrail infrastructure—those mysterious trails left in the sky by aircraft that many believe are more than just condensation. According to the whistleblower, these chemtrails have long been used as a delivery system for various substances, but Project Skypox represents a terrifying escalation.

The plan involves loading chemtrail dispersal systems with a highly contagious form of aerosolized monkeypox, a virus known for its severe symptoms and high mortality rate. Once released into the atmosphere, this weaponized pathogen would spread rapidly, infecting populations in major cities around the world. The resultant pandemic would then be used as a pretext to enforce mandatory vaccinations, lockdowns, and other restrictive measures that would further erode civil liberties.

The whistleblower claims that the scientists involved in Project Skypox have gone to great lengths to ensure the virus is both highly contagious and difficult to detect in its early stages. This would allow it to spread widely before health authorities could respond effectively, ensuring maximum impact and chaos.

The Global Implications: A New Pandemic on the Horizon

If Project Skypox is allowed to proceed, the consequences for humanity could be catastrophic. We have already witnessed the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which crippled economies, overwhelmed healthcare systems, and led to unprecedented restrictions on personal freedoms. But according to the whistleblower, Project Skypox could be even worse.

WARNING: This Is Why There’s a War for Your Mind and a War for Your DNA – You Are Sacred!

The deliberate release of a highly contagious virus like monkeypox would likely trigger a global health crisis on a scale never before seen. Hospitals would be inundated with patients, vaccines would be rolled out at breakneck speed, and governments would likely impose draconian measures to control the spread of the disease. The social and economic upheaval could be immense, with the potential to push the world into a new era of authoritarian control.

The whistleblower warns that this is precisely what Bill Gates is counting on. By creating a new pandemic, Gates and his allies would be able to justify the imposition of extreme measures that would further concentrate power in the hands of a select few. The ultimate goal, according to the whistleblower, is not just to combat the virus but to reshape the world in a way that benefits the global elite.

The Ethics of Seeding a Pandemic: A Moral Dilemma

One of the most chilling aspects of this revelation is the ethical dilemma it poses. The whistleblower’s account paints a picture of an organization that is deeply conflicted about the morality of Project Skypox. On one hand, there are those who believe that seeding a pandemic is a necessary evil—an unfortunate but unavoidable step to achieve a greater good. On the other hand, there are those who are horrified by the idea of deliberately causing widespread suffering and death.

This internal struggle is reportedly causing significant friction within the Gates Foundation, with some employees questioning whether they can continue to work for an organization that is willing to pursue such extreme measures. The whistleblower describes an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, with staff members afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs or facing even more severe repercussions.

The question of whether it is ever justifiable to deliberately cause a pandemic is one that has no easy answers. But the fact that this is even being considered is a stark reminder of the ethical challenges posed by modern science and technology. The whistleblower’s revelations force us to confront some uncomfortable truths about the world we live in and the people who wield power within it.

The Role of Chemtrails: A Long-Held Suspicion Confirmed

For years, the existence of chemtrails has been dismissed by many as a conspiracy theory—a figment of the imagination of those who see shadowy plots behind every corner. But the whistleblower’s account suggests that these suspicions were not only well-founded but that the reality is far worse than anyone could have imagined.

According to the whistleblower, the chemtrail program has been in operation for years, used by powerful entities to experiment with and control populations. Project Skypox represents the culmination of these efforts—a plan to use this covert infrastructure to unleash a new pandemic. The whistleblower’s revelations give credence to the claims of those who have long argued that chemtrails are being used for nefarious purposes.

The implications of this are staggering. If the whistleblower is correct, it means that the skies above us have been weaponized, turned into a delivery system for dangerous pathogens. This raises serious questions about the role of governments and other powerful entities in these operations, and whether they have been complicit in this covert program.

Bill Gates’ Vision: Control Through Chaos

At the heart of this shocking revelation is Bill Gates himself. The whistleblower describes Gates as a man obsessed with control, someone who sees the chaos of a new pandemic as an opportunity to reshape the world according to his vision. This vision, according to the whistleblower, involves the concentration of power and the imposition of a new global order in which a small elite holds sway over the masses.

Gates’ involvement in public health initiatives is well-documented. Through his foundation, he has played a significant role in funding vaccine development and distribution, particularly in the developing world. But the whistleblower’s account suggests that there is a darker side to Gates’ philanthropy—one that involves using his influence to push through an agenda that serves his interests, even at the cost of millions of lives.

The whistleblower claims that Gates is not only aware of the ethical concerns raised by Project Skypox but that he is actively ignoring them. In Gates’ mind, the ends justify the means. The creation of a new pandemic would provide the perfect pretext for the kind of sweeping changes he envisions, from mandatory vaccinations to the widespread use of digital ID systems that would allow for unprecedented surveillance and control.

The Consequences of Project Skypox: What’s at Stake

The potential consequences of Project Skypox are nothing short of apocalyptic. If this operation is allowed to proceed, it could result in a global pandemic that dwarfs anything we have seen before. The death toll could be in the millions, and the social and economic impacts could be catastrophic.

But beyond the immediate human cost, there is also the broader issue of what this means for our future. If powerful entities like the Gates Foundation are willing to unleash pandemics as a means of achieving their goals, then we are entering a new and dangerous era—one in which the lives of ordinary people are expendable in the pursuit of power.

Attention!!! Heart vs. Brain: What happens when you put the most powerful energy source in the world near your beating heart? You’re about to find out…

The whistleblower’s revelations force us to confront some uncomfortable truths about the nature of power in the modern world. We live in a time when technology has given a small elite the ability to shape the world in ways that were once unimaginable. The question now is whether we are willing to accept this, or whether we will stand up and demand accountability.

The Call to Action: What Can Be Done?

In the face of such a terrifying revelation, it is easy to feel powerless. But the whistleblower’s bravery in coming forward with this information is a reminder that individuals can make a difference. The first step is to spread the word—to ensure that as many people as possible are aware of the dangers posed by Project Skypox.

Public awareness is the first line of defense against this kind of covert operation. By shining a light on what is happening, we can force those in power to reconsider their actions. We can demand transparency and accountability, and we can refuse to accept a world in which pandemics are deliberately seeded for political or economic gain.

It is also essential to pressure our elected officials to take action. Governments around the world must be held accountable for their role in these operations. We need to demand that they investigate the claims made by the whistleblower and take steps to dismantle the infrastructure that allows for this kind of abuse of power.

Finally, we must be vigilant. The threat posed by Project Skypox is a reminder that we live in a world where the unimaginable can become reality. We need to be aware of the signs of such operations and be prepared to act if we see them unfolding.

The whistleblower’s revelations about Project Skypox have exposed a terrifying reality—one in which powerful entities are willing to unleash pandemics on the world in order to achieve their goals. This is not a conspiracy theory; this is the truth that we now face.

The implications of this are vast and deeply troubling. But we cannot afford to look away. We must confront this reality head-on, demand accountability, and take action to prevent this kind of abuse of power from happening again. The future of humanity may depend on it.

How Does Israel Justify Mass Killings? It Starts in the Schools.
Palestinian identity in Israeli schoolbooks is either infantilized, demonized, or ignored, according to Israeli scholar Nurit Peled-Elhanan.

In The Black Image in the White Mind, historian George M. Frederickson writes, “In the years immediately before and after 1800, white Americans often revealed by their words and actions that they viewed [Black people] as a permanently alien and unassimilable element of the population.” Within the context of white American domination, anti-Black racist stereotypes framed Black people as inherently unfit, innately problematic and divorced from the category of the human, a category that is synonymous with whiteness.

The French-Tunisian scholar Albert Memmi, in The Colonizer and the Colonized, understood these racist rationalizations as a series of negations, observing: “The colonized is not this, is not that. [They are] never considered in a positive light; or if [they are], the quality which is conceded is the result of a psychological or ethical failing.” Within these racist binary regimes, it is necessary that a specific group functions as “other.”

Throughout the world, there are groups that are deemed “other,” and their “otherness” is imposed by those who control dominant forms of discourse — those who have the representational power to demean, to marginalize and demonize. Historically, schools and religious institutions have helped to underwrite such dehumanizing discourse.

Nurit Peled-Elhanan is a retired lecturer in language education at Hebrew University and at the David Yellin Academic College in Jerusalem, and the author of several books. In this exclusive interview, she discusses how Israeli schoolbooks (and by extension, Israeli schools) powerfully frame anti-Palestinian discourse and inculcate Israeli children with suspicion, fear and hatred of Palestinians. Peled-Elhanan’s work provides a powerful analysis of the relationship between Israeli state pedagogical power and racist, anti-Palestinian ideology.

George Yancy: Provide a few examples of how Palestinians are portrayed in racist ways through the medium of Israeli schoolbooks.

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: Schoolbooks always, not only in Israel, are meant to legitimate the state and its actions. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have schoolbooks, they would just be books. So, the raison d’être of schoolbooks is to legitimate the state, and especially the controversial actions of the state such as what are called the founding crimes, and so on.

In Israel, what must be legitimated is the colonization of Palestine and the ongoing occupation. Israel must justify its policies. So, like all colonizers, Israel portrays the colonized as primitive, evil or superfluous. Israel portrays them as a racialized group that cannot change and never will change.

For instance, in one geography schoolbook, there is a passage about factors that “inhibit” the development of the Arab village. So, they say that Arab villages are far from the center, the roads to them are difficult, and they have remained out of the process of change and development. They say they are hardly exposed to modern life, and there are difficulties connecting them to the electricity and water networks.

You would think we’re talking about somewhere the size of Australia. But Israel is smaller than New Jersey. So where are these remote villages that have stayed out of development? Or, they say that the Arab society is traditional and objects to changes by its nature, reluctant to adopt novelties. Modernization seems dangerous to them, and they are unwilling to give anything for the general good.

They also are portrayed as a problem and a demographic threat, as a security threat. And because they are deemed a demographic threat, this legitimates the massacres and their elimination. One schoolbook says one of the massacres, the Deir Yassin massacre that caused the panicked flight of the Palestinians, solved a frightening demographic problem. And even Chaim Weizmann, Israel’s first president, called the flight of Palestinians a miracle.

The idea is that Israelis must outnumber Palestinians. If we outnumber them, then we shall be safe.

They compare the numbers of Arabs versus Jews all the time in the schoolbooks, in every subject, especially multiplication. Schoolbooks refer to Palestinians as Israel’s Arabs or the non-Jewish sector. You never find the label Palestinian except when attached to terror.

The Bedouin community, for example — the Bedouin tribes that have been on the land for thousands of years — are called the Bedouin diaspora, to give the impression that they don’t belong. The maps in schoolbooks completely ignore the existence of Palestine and Palestinians. Even in a map that shows the Arab population, you don’t find one Arab city, not even Nazareth.

They justify racist laws, such as the law of citizenship, which does not allow a couple — one of which is an Israeli citizen, and one of which comes from the occupied territories — to live together. They justify this kind of racist and illegal and unconstitutional law by quoting the former president of Israel’s Supreme Court, who said Palestinians’ “human rights shouldn’t be a recipe for national suicide.”

So, the whole image is that you know they are a threat, and therefore they should not be treated as people. So, the whole discrimination and elimination and confinement of Arab citizens is legitimated by this excuse — the need to be a majority, to maintain the Jewish character of the state. Once there was a policy to encourage four children for every family in the Jewish sector to outnumber Arabs. There were rewards for families. They called them “blessed families.”

Today, this policy no longer exists. When Benjamin Netanyahu became the finance minister, he stopped the allowances that big families receive. But it was a policy, one designed to outnumber them.

George Yancy: How early are these books introduced to Israeli children?

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: It is from kindergarten. Schoolbooks reflect the discourse. It’s as linguist Gunther Kress said: Texts are a punctuation of semiosis or meaning-making, that is, at a certain point of time. That’s why schoolbooks change from one government to another. So, this is the discourse, the social discourse. It is reflected in schoolbooks; schoolbooks don’t invent this kind of discourse.

George Yancy: What your work shows is that schoolbook pictures are not benign, inconsequential or just meant for sheer entertainment. What you show is that racist images have deep existential implications. The dehumanization of Palestinians through Israeli schoolbooks enables their decimation.

After all, if Israeli children are raised accepting the “unconditional truth” of what is written or portrayed through pictures in their books and pedagogical spaces, then to kill Palestinians through collective punishment doesn’t carry the same ethical weight as the loss of Israeli lives.

In Palestine in Israeli School Books: Ideology and Propaganda in Education, you write, “Palestinian non-citizens in the occupied territories are often depicted as terrorists, and this depiction reinforces the policy, presented in schoolbooks as an agreed-upon necessity, of constant control, restriction of movement and even extra-judicial assassinations.”

There is a certain deep irony here. We know that Jewish people were subjected to dehumanizing propaganda spread by Nazi Germany. Jewish people were depicted as “parasites” that had to be removed, exterminated from the purity of the “Aryan race.” Palestinians are clearly the out-group.

How do you specifically see Zionism as an ideological force that creates an in-group that must not be “sullied” by the out-group? After all, Zionism as a form of nation-building means not just the use of racist stereotypes, but also the control of geographical space. Could you discuss how you see these two forms of violence working in tandem through the very project of Zionism?

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: Israeli identity is a territorial identity. National and territorial identity are one. And so, of course, territory is a very important factor of our identity. We are of the land, and we must occupy the land. But I think the way they treated, since the beginning of Zionism … is the way all colonialists treated Indigenous populations — they are said to be primitive, and we bring progress. And they are said not to exist. They’re considered part of the landscape. I think all colonialist powers treated the local population in the same way.

So, Zionism was a European national movement. Like all European national movements, Zionism defined who is human and who is “other.” And the other is the Eastern one, the “Oriental” one. All they wanted was to get rid of the East, because Jews were called Easterners in Europe, as if they were an “Oriental” race, and they wanted to get rid of it. They wanted to Westernize themselves.

And this is one of the things that is emphasized greatly in the schoolbooks: We are the West. The history of Jews in the East or in Muslim countries is not even mentioned, although they had very harmonious and enriching lives in Muslim countries for thousands of years. But it’s not even mentioned.

So, they wanted to Westernize themselves and to erase the history of the country to reproduce the myth of continuity, as if the Jews who come from Europe are coming home to their land. So, the history and the culture, and everything that existed before on the land of Palestine or Arab Israel was erased.

They did it in archaeology, too. You hardly have any archaeological findings from Palestine or from Ottoman time. The Ottomans ruled here 600 years, but you hardly have anything. If you go to a park in Israel, they tell you this was such and such place for the Romans, for the Byzantine, for the Crusaders, for the British and for the Zionists. Two-thousand years of history are erased.

So, all these things together can explain the Israeli attitude. And of course, like all colonialists, Zionist leaders use racist discourse to vilify the Indigenous populations, and to legitimate its discrimination and its elimination.

George Yancy: Ethiopian Jews might be said to be a group that experiences a kind of “otherness” within Israel. In your book, Holocaust Education and the Semiotics of Othering in Israeli Schoolbooks, you discuss how Arab Jews and other non-European Jews are themselves also victims, as a result of Zionism. In your book you characterize non-European Jews who settled in Israel as “the victims of the victims.” How do Zionist narratives contribute to the “othering” of non-European Jews?

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: As I mentioned, the Zionist movement was a European movement. Ever since they came to Palestine, they wanted to Westernize themselves and Indigenize themselves at the same time — as if they’re coming back. The idea was to create a homeland for European Jews. They were not interested in other Jews, especially not from Arab or African countries.

But after the Holocaust and the extermination of European Jews, they needed people to populate the future state of Israel. So, they looked for them in other countries, and they found them in Muslim countries. But the idea was that they were barbaric and primitive, and full of germs and illnesses, and so on, and that they should be confined in camps until they could integrate.

They should give up their culture, their Arabness or their Africanness, and their language, their music, their customs, their religion, and adopt this other religion, this other Judaism that was developed in Eastern Europe. There are many people who write about it — Ela Shohat, and others. So, they turned them into the victims of the victims, because the ones who treated them this way were really the victims, the survivors.

They were held in what is called inner colonialism or internal colonialism. To this day, four generations after they came to Israel, their grandchildren are still called Moroccans, or even “dirty Moroccans.” They are called by their ethnicities — the Ashkenazi Jews, however, are the norm, the unmarked. They are not called an ethnicity.

But the non-Ashkenazi, although they’ve been on the land for four generations, are still called by their ethnicities. The gaps in education, in employment, in wealth, are growing, not diminishing.

Now that was a horrible thing, and the way they were treated has ruined them. It ruined the family; it ruined the community. It was a disaster. In fact, Israel didn’t want the Ethiopians to come for many years. The Ethiopian Jews, or Beta Israel (the house of Israel) as they call themselves, wanted to come to Zion, for religious reasons.

The Arab Jews were largely not Zionist either, although some of them were in Zionist movements, but mainly their motives were religious, not political. They wanted to come to Jerusalem, and that’s all. And the Ethiopian Jews, who thought they were the only Jews in the world, wanted to come to Zion. When they heard that there was a possibility, they began to ask to come. But Israel didn’t want them.

It was only after the UN General Assembly, in 1975, declared Zionism a racist movement that they decided to bring them to prove that they allow Black people in. But it took more years until they started to come.

The way they brought them was disastrous. They made them walk to Sudan and then wait in Sudan in no living conditions at all for months and months on end. The death toll was in the thousands. And then they defined it, or crowned it, as a wonderful underground operation of “our brave soldiers.” They brought them in, and they were put in these camps, which they called absorption camps, absorption centers.

They were completely dependent on the Israeli bureaucracy. They couldn’t make decisions regarding their own welfare. They had to give up all their customs, their religious leaders, their religion because they went by the Bible and not by the Halachah which was developed in Eastern Europe — they didn’t even know about it. And they could not choose schools for their children.

Schoolbooks reproduce this even today by treating Ethiopian Jews as a “problem” that the state had to cope with. And today, over 40 years after their arrival, they’re still treated as a problem. They must study all kinds of texts that were written by Europeans in the last century, in the ‘60s, about life in Ethiopia and hear that they are patriarchic, and they are primitive, and they marry their daughters off at the age of 9, and so on.

Nothing is mentioned about their contribution to the country. There are artists, singers, dancers, scientists, everything. They are only mentioned when they are “good soldiers.” All the books mention that. They are separated into special programs for Ethiopians, even if they were born in Israel, even at the university, nursing school, the army.

These special programs are meant to Westernize them the way Israel is Western, which is nonsense. And yet they must read these texts. All texts about them are written by Ashkenazi Jews. There isn’t one Ethiopian text in all the programs, although they have writers (and sociologists and psychologists) that have received awards.

And today, Ethiopian Israeli intellectuals have begun to object and to refute the narrative of rescue. Today, there is a movement of resistance to all of this. But it’s very hard.

The police treat them as the police treat Black people in America and in England. They shoot them in the streets. Recently, a trial was brought to completion. A policeman shot an Ethiopian Israeli 18-year-old, and the policeman was acquitted. For the whole trial, the judges treated the policeman as if he was the victim and treated the parents of this kid as if they were an obstruction. The chief of police said: Yes, what can we do? They’re Black. And this comes into the schoolbooks.

The schoolbooks tell you that they cannot integrate, or they find it hard to integrate, because they have all kinds of customs for which we are not used to, such as respect for elders, parental authority! Horrible things like that. And skin color. So, the schoolbooks replicate the racism of the state. They always show them, in photographs, slouching on the ground in some desert and you don’t see their faces even.

I always ask my students, where did the Ethiopian Jews live in Ethiopia? And they say, in the desert, which is false. They lived on top of hills because they needed water for the herds. During COVID, an Ethiopian lecturer in David Yellin Academic College gave a lecture to the staff and she asked the same question: “Where do you think they lived?” The lecturers all said, “in the desert,” because this is the only picture of Ethiopian Jews that we see. This is horrible.

I used to volunteer with children in an absorption center near my house. The living conditions were awful, and so was their treatment at school. The racism in schools excludes them from participating in all the activities that the white kids get to do. Of course, they were wonderful and brilliant children, and I’m in contact with some of them to this day. And one of them was in the Israeli Air Force working as a technician.

Well, me and my husband went to her wedding and there wasn’t a single white person at this wedding, not any of her former military peers, not any of her present peers, not even one. But how can this be? I’m sure she invited everybody. This is an anecdote, but I mention it to show you the attitude towards Ethiopian Jews. I heard teachers say that they stink. I heard teachers say that they are not sacred because they slaughter the cows themselves.

George Yancy: This reminds me of the horrible reality of the Stolen Generation, where white Australians forced Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their parents. The objective is to erase any signs of their cultural identity.

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: Yes. In this case, the whole education of Ethiopian Israeli children is meant to change them, not to get to know them, not to learn from them, or to recognize their contributions to a multicultural society.

I asked a teacher if she thought that these changes would disconnect them from their culture and their community and their family. And she said, yes, I hope they teach their parents, too. So, yes, it was the same colonial processes that took place in Australia and in Canada. It is the same “civilizing mission.” It is the white man’s civilizing mission. And Ethiopians were shocked when they came because they thought they came to “Jerusalem of Gold” and suddenly they were treated like non-Jews, which caused a lot of suicide cases. They were treated as beasts, which has not changed to this day.

George Yancy: What do you envision as an effective way of dismantling the anti-Palestinian stereotypes in Israel that do so much violence? How might rethinking education and a radical rethinking of the curriculum in Israel make a difference?

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: One could have an entirely new curriculum if one wanted. I’ve been talking about books until around 2014, because after that you don’t find Palestinians in the schoolbooks at all, and you don’t find Ethiopians in the schoolbooks at all.

You have some abstract problems of terror, but nobody speaks about them as people. There was some change at the end of ‘90s when new historians talked about the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), but today there’s nothing; it is as if they don’t exist. These books are like evangelistic pamphlets. Even the pictures you see, all the photos of people in schoolbooks are blonde with blue eyes. In reality, most Israelis are not blonde.

And I asked one graphic designer, who designed a schoolbook, why he did that. He said, “Well, it looks good.” These books are really propaganda books.

Every year I check to see if there are new things in these books, but there are no “others” in them at all, not even as others.

So, it’s getting worse. But of course, if you want to mandate, you have to construct a new curriculum, which will not only be what is called the pedagogical narrative, but the performative narrative, the narrative of the people who are never included within the pedagogical narrative or the official narrative, the people whose voices are not heard — narratives written by the Bedouins, the Circassians, the Druze, the Palestinians, the Ethiopian Jews, the Arab Jews, the Russian Jews — because Israel is a place with so many languages, so many groups of people who have nothing in common, by the way. It’s not multicultural, but it has a lot of cultures within it.

The only way forward is to have a narrative of the liminal people, what Indian scholar and critical theorist Homi Bhabha calls the performative narrative, the one that matters, the one that really affects the lives of people. In Israel, nobody has history except Zionist history. We don’t know anything, even about European Jews. We don’t know anything, except that they were exterminated.

The Palestinian Lebanese writer Elias Khoury wrote a book called Children of the Ghetto: My Name Is Adam in which he tells the story of a Palestinian man’s journey of pain and sorrow. In the book there is the story of a man who was brought to bury and burn the cadavers after the massacres.

Khoury calls these people Sonderkommandos. He tells the story of one of them, makes him an individual human being who has a story. And when you read this story in contrast to the Israeli story told in the history books, this is the difference from a pedagogical or official narrative, it is the narrative of the marginalized, the narrative of the people who have become collective objects. And that’s the way you should do it, to give voice to the voiceless.

But you don’t have the history of Ethiopian Jews written by Ethiopian Jews. It’s all anthropological, and it’s all from a Eurocentric point of view, a racist point of view. I think the only way to do it is not to confront the two official narratives, Palestinian against Israeli. This has been done. Neither Israel nor Palestine allow it to be used at school.

But we must take the narratives of all the people, and that’s where you’ll find fascinating things about the common life that was in this place during the Ottoman period and before, which was rich and harmonious culturally, economically, agriculturally. People were so cosmopolitan. Everything was together without anybody losing their identity and their religious affiliation. I would like to see that.

We tried to do it before the 2009 onslaught on Gaza. We tried to form a group of experts who would start writing this curriculum. A wonderful group came, all volunteering. But then Israel attacked Gaza, and the Palestinians didn’t want to and couldn’t come anymore.

But I think there are many people who would love to do it, because it’s always so much more interesting than all this political propaganda that you get in the schoolbooks, which is all about pogroms and wars and the massacres of Jews.

Today, the idea that unites the people here is that we are all victims of the Holocaust, and we can be victims of the Holocaust again, if we’re not careful. That’s the idea. You must traumatize the children to make them loyal, so they don’t leave the country. And it’s written in all the books. What happened in Europe to the Jews happened because they did not have a state and an army. You compel people to stay, young people, you frighten them to death.

You know, people say, “Don’t go to Turkey, they hate us.” What do you mean? They hate us. They love me when I come to the market and buy rugs. I remember when I took my son to Greece when he was 8, his cousin said, “Don’t go there! They exterminated us.” Five-thousand years ago, they destroyed the temple. And that attitude is very strong in Israel. Don’t go to Athens. They are antisemitic. Don’t go there, there are Arabs there.

So, the Holocaust is what unites everybody, and hovers above us all the time, along with a contempt for the real Holocaust victims because, you know, they didn’t fight back.

George Yancy: This sounds like a process of Nazification of Arabs.

Nurit Peled-Elhanan: Yes! Ever since Israel befriended Germany in 1953, and accepted the reparation money, the role of the potential exterminator passed to the Arabs, otherwise we have no reason to be here, and to be armed to our teeth. The Arabs received the role of potential exterminators with no reason, with no cause. I mean Arabs never exterminated Jews. Muslims rarely pogromized Jews.

There were some incidents, yes, but they never thought of a Final Solution. And David Ben-Gurion said, in 1953, I’m taking German reparations money so that we can defend ourselves against the Nazi Arabs, and that coined it — the “Nazi Arabs.” And then they said, we live in Auschwitz borders. And Menachem Begin said the attack on refugee camps in Lebanon saved us from “another Treblinka.”

This is the discourse. And even today they call Palestinians in Gaza Nazis. What happened on October 7 was immediately compared to the Shoah, to the Holocaust. Immediately. And it works. We are a nuclear power, and they have nothing, but they are depicted on one hand as primitive, superfluous human beings, and on the other hand, as almighty Nazis. And it works.

Note: This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length. A post-publication correction was made to clarify that one Israeli schoolbook described the Deir Yassin massacre as solving rather than resulting from a “frightening demographic problem.”
