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

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

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

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

‘Humanitarian situation in northern Gaza becoming more dangerous’

Al Jazeera reports:

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

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

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

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

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

Anadolu Agency reports:

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

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

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

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

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

The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital stated,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Various agencies report:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sky News reports:

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

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

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

Various agencies report:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NBC News reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – OCTOBER 8, 2024:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If the situation is as it is, then:

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

Also Read, Tweet & Share: Post Gaza Query: Israel In New World Order Minus The Hegemon?

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

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

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

The writer continues:

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

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

The writer from Haaretz confirms:

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

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

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

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

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

Also Read, Tweet & Share: Reflections, Mapping Gaza

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

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

The Jewish writer emphasized that:

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

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

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

Also Read, Tweet & Share: Clearing their name …

We imprisoned them.

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

We said we would demolish their houses.

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

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

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

Ultimately, as the author says:

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

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

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

Iran’s Nuclear Test or Natural Earthquake?

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

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

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

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

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

A Diabolical Project that goes beyond the Military

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Childhood under the gun in Gaza

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Precarious childhood in the West Bank

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Children targeted before October 7

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Israel has killed 146 doctors in Gaza: Ministry

Anadolu Agency reports:

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

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

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

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

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

Ha’aretz reports:

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

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

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



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

Various agencies report:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

Israel’s year of war on the West Bank

Mondoweiss reports:

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

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

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

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

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

Middle East Eye reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Various agencies report:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Middle East Monitor reports:

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

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

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

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

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

Anadolu Agency reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Reuters reports:

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

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

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

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

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

In his letter on Monday, Francis directly addressed Gazans:

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

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

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

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

The Cradle reports:

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

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

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

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

CNN reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – OCTOBER 7, 2024:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How Israel killed hundreds of its own people on October 7

A year’s worth of The Electronic Intifada’s investigative reporting, extensive monitoring and translation of the Hebrew-language Israeli media, independent examination of hundreds of videos, a recent pro-Israel film broadcast by the BBC and Paramount+ about the Supernova rave, official Israeli figures of the dead and a little-read UN Human Rights Council report has revealed that during the October 7th Al-Aqsa Flood offensive, Israel expanded the use of its murderous “Hannibal Directive” – designed to prevent soldiers from being taken alive as prisoners of war – by killing many of its own civilians… In fact, “Hannibal” began less than an hour after the Palestinian offensive began…

By Asa Winstanley, reposted from The Electronic Intifada 7, October 2024

One year ago today Palestinian fighters led by Hamas launched an unprecedented military offensive out of the Gaza Strip.

The immediate goal was to inflict a shattering blow against Israel’s army bases and militarized settlements which have besieged Gaza’s inhabitants for decades – all of which are built on land that Palestinian families were expelled from in 1948.

The bigger goal was to shatter a status quo in which Israel, the United States and their accomplices believed they had effectively sidelined the Palestinian cause, and to bring that struggle for liberation back to the forefront of world attention.

“Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” as Hamas called it, was, by any objective military measure, a stunning success.

It was said at Israel’s military headquarters that day that “the Gaza Division was overpowered,” a high-level source present later recalled to Israeli journalists. “These words still give me the chills.”

Covered from the air by armed drones and a barrage of rockets – which opened the offensive at 6:26 am exactly – Palestinian fighters launched a lightening raid over the Gaza boundary line.

The army bases were conquered for hours. Some of the settlements still had an armed Palestinian presence two days later.

The military communications infrastructure was instantly smashed. Simultaneous attacks took place by land, air and sea.

Palestinian drones took out tanks, guard posts and watchtowers.



Caught completely unprepared, most of the soldiers manning the bases were either killed or captured and taken back to Gaza as prisoners of war.

A reported 255 Israelis were captured, including soldiers and civilians. Since then, 154 of them have been released, mostly by Hamas in November’s prisoner exchange.

However, the figure of those released also includes some bodies of dead captives, mostly killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza. Of the remaining 101 prisoners, 35 have been officially declared dead by Israel. The real number is likely much higher.

Many have been killed by Israeli carpet bombing, and three escaped prisoners were shot dead by Israeli ground troops in Gaza City in December.

Al-Aqsa Flood was the first time in history that Palestinian armed groups were able to retake Palestinian territories lost since 1948, however briefly.

Israel’s response was also unprecedented, if not in its nature then undoubtedly in its scale – an undisguised genocide against the population of Gaza.

One “conservative” estimate published by the British medical journal The Lancet in July stated that as many as 186,000 Palestinians are likely to have been killed by Israel so far – almost 10 percent of Gaza’s population.

The UN says that 90 percent of people in Gaza have been driven out of their homes by Israel and that about a quarter of all structures in the strip have been destroyed.

The Western press took its lead from official Israeli disinformation. It was soon awash with lurid atrocity propaganda.



These lies about rape and beheaded babies were swiftly debunked by The Electronic Intifada and a small group of other independent media – often at the cost of being smeared by mainstream media and banned or censored by social media giants like YouTube.

Trying to paper over the cracks of its military and intelligence defeat, Israel has also been desperate to cover up another major scandal.

That Israel killed hundreds of its own people between 7 and 9 October 2023.

The regime ideologically justified this within Israeli society using a well-established national murder-suicide pact known in Israel as the “Hannibal Directive.”

The Electronic Intifada today presents a full overview of how Israel killed so many of its own people during the Palestinian offensive.

This article is based on a year’s worth of The Electronic Intifada’s investigative reporting, extensive monitoring and translation of the Hebrew-language Israeli media, independent examination of hundreds of videos, a recent pro-Israel film broadcast by the BBC and Paramount+ about the Supernova rave, official Israeli figures of the dead and a little-read UN Human Rights Council report.

We can conclude that during the Al-Aqsa Flood offensive:

Israel expanded the use of its murderous “Hannibal Directive” – designed to prevent soldiers from being taken alive as prisoners of war – by killing many of its own civilians.
The use of such “Hannibal” strikes are confirmed in a UN report published in June.
Fire from Israeli helicopters, drones, tanks and even ground troops was deliberately undertaken in order to prevent Palestinian fighters from taking live Israeli captives who could be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners.
At the initiative of the local Gaza Division, “Hannibal” was carried out right away: less than an hour after the Palestinian offensive began.
By midday, an unambiguous order was given from the high command of the Israeli military (the so-called “Pit” headquarters, deep under Israel’s Hakirya building in downtown Tel Aviv) to invoke the Hannibal Directive throughout the entire region, “even if this means the endangerment or harming of the lives of civilians in the region, including the captives themselves.”
This bombing of Israeli captives by Israel continues in Gaza even today.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted in a December meeting with released captives and families of captives that they had been “under our bombardments” in Gaza.
Hundreds of Israelis were likely killed by Israel itself in “Hannibal” targeting incidents as well as unintentional crossfire.
Israel has been engaged in an aggressive cover-up of its crimes against its own people.
Killing their own people

If Hamas made a miscalculation in the planning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, it was perhaps to overestimate the value Israeli planners assigned to the lives of their own people.

In 2006, Hamas successfully captured Israeli occupation soldier Gilad Shalit, exchanging him for 1,024 Palestinian prisoners in 2011 – including the current leader of Hamas Yahya Sinwar. A similar exchange was made with the Lebanese resistance in 2008.

Although exchanging prisoners is a common element of conflict, Israeli leaders felt weakened and embarrassed by what they saw as compromises. So they secretly modified their policies, preparing to strike with lethal force against their own people in the event of future captures.

At the heart of these plans was the Hannibal Directive, established in secret by Israeli generals in 1986, and named after an ancient Carthaginian general who killed himself rather than be captured alive by the Roman Empire.



Initially, the doctrine was targeted at soldiers.

In 2014, captured Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin was killed in a deliberate artillery strike during Israel’s August invasion of the Gaza Strip. Up to 200 Palestinian civilians were killed in the bombardment on Rafah, including 75 children.

As a result, the secretive military doctrine was forced into the light. Despite continued obfuscation, the Israeli military admitted that the directive existed and may have been used on an Israeli solider.

Two years later, the Israeli military distanced itself from the directive, claiming that “the order as it is understood today” would be canceled. “This move was not necessarily a full change in policy but a clarification,” The Times of Israel reported in 2016.

Yet multiple Israeli press reports have now confirmed that Hannibal was not only reactivated on 7 October – if it ever truly went away – but was actually extended to captured Israeli civilians on their way to Gaza.

Bombing Israelis on the road to Gaza

Overestimating Israel’s humanity, Hamas may have been ignorant of this possibility in its two-year preparation and training for the offensive. Over the past year, the group has repeatedly agreed to exchange Israeli prisoners for Palestinian prisoners.

But aside from the Israeli captives released during the four-day pause in November (including the children and noncombatant captives) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has adamantly refused to make a deal.

Instead, Israel has systematically bombed every part of the Gaza Strip – including areas where the Israeli captives are being held.

Israelis released in the November prisoner exchange have told the media that the main threat to their lives while they were held in Gaza was not Hamas, but Israeli attacks.

Chen Almog-Goldstein and three of her children were at one point held in a Gazan supermarket which was bombed by Israel.

“It was atrocious,” she told The Guardian. “It was the first time we really felt like our lives were in danger.”

The bombing “was closing up on us to the point where the Hamas guards put mattresses over us on the floor to cover us, and then they covered us with their bodies to protect us from our own forces’ shooting.”

In a town hall-style meeting with relatives of the captives, Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that captives had been “under our bombardments and our [military] activity there,” Hebrew news site Ynet reported in December.

“Every day in captivity was very hard,” one former detainee said at the angry meeting. “I was in a house when there were bombardments all around. We were sitting in tunnels and we were very afraid that, not Hamas, but Israel would kill us, and then they’ll say: ‘Hamas killed you.’”

Another released detainee said: “The fact is that I was in a hideaway that was bombed, and we had to be smuggled away, and we were injured. Not to mention that we were shot at by a helicopter when we were on our way to Gaza … You are bombing the tunnel routes exactly in the area where they [the other captives] are.”

As the second released detainee’s testimony about being shot at by a helicopter on the way to Gaza proves, the captives were also killed and attacked by Israel while Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was still happening.

Within the first hour of the offensive, Israeli forces began shooting and bombing Israeli captives on their way to Gaza.

“Hannibal at Erez”

An investigation by Israeli newspaper Haaretz based on documents and testimonies of soldiers found evidence that these Hannibal attacks came at least as early as 7:18 am – only 52 minutes after the start of the offensive.

The Haaretz piece was published in English in July.

But the paper lagged six months behind its competitor, Yedioth Ahronoth. In January, Yedioth’s weekend supplement 7 Days ran a landmark investigative piece laying out a timeline of the Al-Aqsa Flood offensive from the Israeli military perspective.

The paper has never published an official English translation of the article. The Electronic Intifada remains the only publication in the world to release a full professional translation, which you can read here.



The 7 Days investigation found that “at midday of October 7th, the IDF [Israeli military] instructed all its fighting units to perform the Hannibal Directive in practice, although it did so without stating that name explicitly.”

Well-sourced Israeli military and intelligence reporters Ronen Bergman and Yoav Zitun explained in the long piece that “the instruction was to stop ‘at any cost’ any attempt by Hamas terrorists to return to Gaza, using language very similar to that of the original Hannibal Directive.”

In contrast to the 7 Days investigation, the more recent Haaretz piece found that the name of the doctrine was explicitly invoked – and very early on: “One of these decisions was made at 7:18 am … ‘Hannibal at Erez.’”

Erez is the massive Israeli military checkpoint and base caging Palestinians into the north of the Gaza Strip. It had been totally overrun by Palestinian fighters and besieged Israeli troops seem to have called for an airstrike on their own position.

That the 7 Days investigation reached the conclusion Hannibal was invoked from the top of Israel’s military hierarchy is crucial.

It shows that the reactivation and expansion of the Hannibal Directive that day was not a matter of rogue individual troops or of simple chaos and confusion.

It was a matter of policy.

Orders and chaos

Hannibal was ordered from the top after the generals under the Hakirya building in Tel Aviv realized that Israeli soldiers and settlers all over the Gaza frontier region were being captured en masse.

They wanted the captives dead as soon as possible.

Israeli troops in the field had been trained in the procedure for years and immediately understood what they had to do.

A report by a UN commission quotes one tank commander who opened fire at Israeli captives coming from the settlement of Nir Oz.

“Something in my gut feeling made me think that they [his soldiers] could be on them [the vehicles heading to Gaza],” he said. “Yes, I could have killed them, but I decided that this is the right decision. I prefer stopping the abduction so they won’t be taken.”

Ending Israelis’ captivity by killing them is the Hannibal doctrine in a nutshell.



In November last year, Nof Erez, an Israeli Air Force colonel, admitted to a Hebrew-language podcast that the response to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood “was a mass Hannibal.”

There was also an incredibly chaotic situation that day. In a separate article by Yoav Zitun, the Israeli military admitted to an “immense and complex quantity” of what it called “friendly fire” incidents.

Caught entirely off guard over a Jewish holiday weekend, Israeli forces found themselves unable to communicate with each other after the Palestinians destroyed the communications infrastructure.

The 7 Days investigation found that “40 percent of the communication sites such as towers with relay antennas … near the Gaza Strip … were destroyed by Hamas” that morning.

Even the Palestinian resistance was caught off guard by the sheer scope of its own success. And, to an extent, there was a degree of chaos in the Palestinian fighters’ assault.

Collateral damage?

Soon after the initial wave of Hamas’ vanguard commandos (known as the Nukhba force, Arabic for “elite”) breached the fence in almost 50 locations, smaller armed groups – including Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – joined in.

About an hour after the offensive started, a wave of Palestinian civilians began to flow through the breaches in the fence and managed to enter their homeland. Some of these people seem to have attacked or captured Israeli noncombatants in the militarized settlements that surround Gaza.

The chaotic situation, combined with Israel’s use of its own civilians as human shields to besiege and occupy Gaza also meant that not all the Israeli casualties of the Palestinian resistance that day were combatants.

Despite efforts by the Western media and politicians to paint a picture of evil, baby-killing Palestinian “terrorists” rampaging around southern Israel slaughtering as many civilians as possible, it is clear that Israeli noncombatants were often caught in the crossfire between armed Israeli forces and the Palestinian fighters.



Pitched battles broke out all over the region. Roughly 1,000-3,000 Palestinian fighters are estimated to have been involved.

Despite the common misconception that the Israeli army was nowhere to be found that day, the UN report and the 7 Days investigation concluded that Israeli combatants were present all over the region, and from very early on.

Within the first 24 minutes of the assault, the Israeli military scrambled at least six armed aircraft: two F-16 bombers, two F-35 bombers and two of the lethal Hermes 450 drones made by Elbit Systems.

Two more aircraft – Apache attack helicopters – also arrived at the Be’eri settlement within one hour.

The UN report says that it “confirmed that at least eight Apache helicopters were dispatched to the area around the Gaza border on 7 October” and that “some 23 tanks were stationed throughout the whole border area with Gaza” (Editor’s note: in fact, Israel has no declared borders).

Human shields

But there is also no doubt that the Israelis were overwhelmed, briefly outgunned and often outsmarted by the Palestinian fighters. The battle for Kibbutz Be’eri, for example, continued over the course of three days.

Nonetheless, the presence of armed Israeli combatants embedded throughout the civilian population – often using the latter as effective human shields – speaks to the operational challenges faced by Hamas on the ground that day.

The UN report even documents some cases of Israeli “civilians” picking up weapons to engage in clashes with the Palestinian fighters.

Hamas’ deputy political leader Khalil al-Hayya said in an interview with the BBC last week that its fighters had been told not to target civilians during the assault, but that there were individual failings in sticking to that plan.

He also alluded to the military difficulties faced by Palestinians trying to distinguish who was who: “Fighters may have felt that they were in danger.”


In a video released by Hamas’ armed wing on 10 October 2023, the Al Qassam Brigades showed how they had swiftly taken over the Nahal Oz military base three days earlier, supported from the air by sophisticaled but inexpensive drone technology. The base straddles the boundary line with Gaza.
In “Our Narrative,” a document Hamas released in January, the group admitted, “Maybe some faults happened during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’s implementation due to the rapid collapse of the Israeli security and military system, and the chaos caused along the border areas with Gaza.”

One such “fault” was the fact that Hamas’ intelligence branch seems not to have anticipated the presence of the all-night “Supernova” trance music rave.

This event took place in open fields less than three miles from the Re’im military base.

Re’im was the headquarters of the Israeli army’s Gaza Division – the number one target of the Al-Aqsa Flood offensive.

But the separation between Israeli settler “civilians” and Israeli combatants is not always clear cut.

Planted around the Gaza region mostly after the forced expulsion of the Palestinians by Zionist militias and the new Israeli army between 1947 and 1949, the settlements besieging Gaza were conceived by Israeli military doctrine as a belt of human shields to protect Israel’s occupation and suppress the far bigger population of Gaza.

The population of the Gaza Strip is more than 80 percent refugees – those expelled from their homes in order to make room for the new state of Israel in 1948 and after, along with their descendants.

One of these so-called “Gaza Envelope” settlements, founded in 1951, is even called “Magen” – literally the Hebrew for “shield.” Another, Nahal Oz, was established as an explicitly military settlement.

According to the Jewish National Fund, a colonial arm of the Israeli state, Nahal Oz was intended to “supply the IDF with soldiers.” It was also intended to “become a civilian center and serve as the first line of defense against potential future Arab invasions while providing a base of operations and resources for military forces operating in peripheral regions.”

UN laundering of Israeli propaganda

In June this year, the United Nations Human Rights Council issued a report: “Detailed findings on attacks carried out on and after 7 October 2023 in Israel.”

What little media attention it received tended to focus on how the report (along with an accompanying document focusing on Gaza) had concluded that “Israel and Hamas have both committed war crimes,” as The Guardian put it.

The report’s authors described themselves as an “independent international commission of inquiry” into the offensive.

For the most part, the report does not disclose its sources. The authors say that this is due to unspecified “protection concerns.”

Nonetheless, it is clear from the instances where the report does disclose its sources that they relied almost entirely on Israeli claims. Where it does cite Palestinian sources, they are for the most part bodycam videos from killed or captured fighters. These were released by the Israeli occupation authorities and are highly likely to have been subjected to selective editing.

Therefore it is unsurprising to find that the document ends up, for the most part, siding with the debunked Israeli narrative about Palestinian atrocities. It does this to the point of absurdity at times.

In one instance, the commission of inquiry reverses the chronology of events to give the impression that a Palestinian fighter deliberately executed an Israeli baby at Kibbutz Be’eri, after they had broken into a room.



Yet, according to press reports, the death was actually the tragic result of a stray bullet. Milla Cohen, a 10-month-old baby, died when a Palestinian fighter shot through a door before he broke into a room in a settlement house to take captives.

Even worse, the UN report appears to rely heavily on the discredited Jewish extremist group ZAKA as a source, citing it once explicitly, and frequently citing it obliquely as unnamed “first responders.”

These “first responders” then tell lurid stories about supposed Palestinian “war crimes.”

And yet even the report admits that ZAKA is “not trained or equipped to manage large, complex crime scenes and may have also tainted, or even tampered with, evidence” (emphasis added).

“One first responder working for ZAKA” – who the report does not name – “provided inaccurate and exaggerated accounts of findings in media interviews.”

This may have been a reference to senior ZAKA leader Yossi Landau.

Landau was forced by Al Jazeera journalists to admit on camera – for a documentary broadcast in March – that his initial story about Palestinian fighters executing 10 Israeli children by burning them alive was a fiction.

Confronted with his own lack of evidence, Landau admitted: “When you look at them and they’re burned you don’t know exactly the ages. So you’re talking about 18 years old, 20 years old … you just don’t look on the spot … to see the ages or something like that.”

Landau was later forced to step back from his position in the group after internal disputes over money and power.

Hannibal strikes confirmed by UN

Despite the report’s authors apparently trying their best to launder Israeli atrocity propaganda into the UN system, the document does nevertheless contain an astonishing collection of evidence confirming The Electronic Intifada’s reporting over the last year that Israel itself killed many, if not most, of the Israelis that day.

Some of the evidence in the UN report is only oblique, and requires cross referencing with Hebrew-language media reports about the Hannibal doctrine and the unprecedented way it was used on 7 October 2023.

But some of it is explicit.

Over the course of three pages, the report details some of what is known about “the application of the ‘Hannibal Directive’” that day.

The commission wrote that it “documented strong indications that the ‘Hannibal Directive’ was used in several instances on 7 October, harming Israelis at the same time as striking Palestinian militants.”

In its section on the Hannibal Directive, the UN report even states that “Israeli helicopters were present at the Nova site and may have shot at targets on the ground, including civilian vehicles.” It states that “one or two helicopters” were “present over the Nova festival site in the mid-morning hours.”

This is something The Electronic Intifada first reported in November.

The UN report cites the testimony of two unnamed witnesses to back this up, including an Israeli army “reserve brigadier general, who fought against militants near a parked tank close to the Nova site” and explained that “he called the Gaza Battalion to request an attack helicopter.”

The presence of attack helicopters – and of at least one tank – in the battle for the Supernova rave site could also go some way towards explaining the high number of noncombatant casualties among the fleeing rave attendees that morning.

The Supernova rave

Held in a location less than four miles away from the massive open-air prison camp that is the Gaza Strip, Supernova was put on by an event management company calling itself the “Tribe of Nova.”

Its defenders have condemned the Palestinian fighters for attacking a “peace festival,” while the event’s critics have decried it as akin to German civilians dancing outside the gates of Auschwitz during the Nazi Holocaust.

Often referred to as the “Nova music festival” by Western media, the event on its official webpage actually named itself the “Supernova Sukkot Gathering.” A recent film about the event showed that it was more akin to the illegal raves often organized in secret locations in many Western countries.

Supernova was not illegal and was coordinated with the local Israeli police force (which was armed and present in advance to guard the event). But for reasons that are not entirely clear, the rave’s location was not announced until 6 October.

Participants in the high profile Israeli film We Will Dance Again confirmed that the Supernova location was kept secret from ticket holders until the last minute.

This (rather than any confusion about the days of the event or extension of the time, as is sometimes erroneously said online) explains why Hamas had no clue about the presence of the rave in the fields between Gaza and the biggest military base in the area – the regional headquarters at Re’im.

The Supernova deaths

The rave is often reported to be the largest single site of deaths that took place on 7 October. The UN report said that 364 out of the 3,000 total ravers were “killed either at the site, near Kibbutz Re’im or in adjacent locations.”

But a detailed breakdown of the deaths recently published by The Times of Israel (based on an Israeli TV channel’s investigation) shows that more than 60 percent of this figure actually died outside of the designated grounds of the rave.

This is important for two reasons.

Firstly, despite the fact that the film We Will Dance Again tries to paint a picture of villainous Palestinian terrorists deliberately attacking civilians, it is clear from all available evidence that the rave was not a planned target of the Hamas offensive that day.

Indeed, the secret location of the event meant that a few Palestinian fighters – perhaps some from armed factions and probably some armed civilians – stumbled on the event in the course of their assault on the military bases.

Armed clashes with the Israeli forces – including police, soldiers and at least one tank, as well as armed Israeli “civilians” present – swiftly ensued.

Israeli intelligence has concluded that the Palestinians had no prior knowledge of the rave.



Secondly, the breakdown published by The Times of Israel places the deaths of ravers outside the rave grounds as far away as Sderot (11 miles north of the Supernova site) and the Re’im military base (only 2.3 miles south)

Plotting these sites of death onto Google Earth and cross referencing them with the sites of ambushes set up by Hamas’ elite commando force – as detailed by the 7 Days investigation – shows the two often coincide.

It is therefore likely that the deaths of some of these fleeing ravers were the unintended consequences of Palestinian ambushes set up to intercept Israeli army reinforcements headed to the region.

“While many reinforcements were flowing south,” Ronen Bergman and Yoav Zitun wrote in the 7 Days investigation, Hamas’ commando force “had foreseen these reinforcements and took over the strategic junctions … where they awaited the forces … a lot of blood was shed at those junctions, both of soldiers and of civilians.”

The 7 Days piece also relates instances of Israeli soldiers rushing south to join the fight on their own initiative – including in their own civilian vehicles.

“Commanders who had already learned from the media or from friends that something was going on … scrambled to get to the Gaza Envelope,” Bergman and Zitun explained.

One brigade commander told the journalists that, “I came with my private vehicle to the Yad Mordechai junction [2.3 miles north of the Erez checkpoint] after I saw [the attack] on the news at home.”

Exploding houses in the settlements

Evidence of deliberate Israeli “mass Hannibal” killings of Israeli civilians at the kibbutzim and other settlements surrounding Gaza is clear and undeniable.

Video footage and press reports of the Al-Aqsa Flood offensive show that many buildings in the settlements were completely destroyed, in a manner consistent with heavy weaponry only known by military experts to be in the possession of the Israeli military, and not in the possession of Palestinian fighters.

While some buildings and cars did show signs of being burned, many others were clearly bombed from the air by Israeli drones and attack helicopters or shelled by Israeli tanks.



Nof Erez, the Israeli Air Force colonel who admitted that 7 October was a “mass Hannibal” event, answered positively when asked by the interviewer if they “exploded all kinds of houses inside the settlements.”

Erez insisted that his pilots only did so with “permission” from their superior officers. “I saw numerous drones above every settlement on a computer image, which we can see in every IDF [Israeli military] command,” he explained.

Footage on Israeli TV has shown Israeli tanks present and firing in the settlement of Kibbutz Be’eri.

Most infamously, Brigadier General Barak Hiram admitted to ordering his tanks to fire at Pessi Cohen’s house in Kibbutz Be’eri – “even at the cost of the civilians,” as he told The New York Times.

Palestinian fighters from Hamas had taken 15 people captive and held them at the home, while they attempted to negotiate their exit to Gaza.

Investigations by The Electronic Intifada have concluded that most of the dead were highly likely to have been killed by Hiram’s assault.

The Electronic Intifada was the first to publish in English the eyewitness account of survivor Yasmin Porat who said that the Israeli troops arrived at the scene and “eliminated everyone” with heavy gunfire and tank shelling.



Porat, Palestinian commander Hasan Hamduna (who surrendered) and one other captive – Hadas Dagan – were the only three survivors of Barak Hiram’s massacre.

Dagan insisted in testimony to Porat – which The Electronic Intifada first reported in November last year – that everyone else in and around the building was either shot or “burned completely” by the Israeli tank fire.

The victims of this apocalypse included 12-year-old Israeli twins, Liel and Yanai Hatsroni.

Sickeningly, Liel’s photo was later used in official Israeli propaganda which falsely claimed that Hamas had massacred and burned the girl to death.

“Murdered in her home by Hamas monsters … just because she’s Jewish,” former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett lied.



Hannibal at Supernova?

What is still unclear about the Supernova rave is how many of the dead were killed by Palestinians, and whether any were killed in “Hannibal” attacks by Israel.

Unlike in the more built-up areas such as the military bases and the kibbutzim – where there is clear visual evidence of bombed buildings and conclusive eyewitness accounts – the visual situation in and around the Supernova site was more chaotic.

There were few built-up structures for Israeli aircraft or tanks to explode, as they did in the settlements.

Video and other photographic evidence does show that the fields around the exit of the site next to the armed Israeli checkpoint were intensively burned and blackened.

It is unclear whether this was the result of the helicopter or tank attacks, or the result of fires which may have caught alight after Palestinian rocket-propelled grenade strikes.

What is known is that Israeli armed forces on site set up a roadblock at the main exit, causing a massive backlog of cars waiting to leave the site. Many ravers ended up fleeing on foot, east across the fields as the firefight broke out.

While the We Will Dance Again film conspicuously fails to mention the roadblock set up by Israeli forces, an early CNN report does show the roadblock on its map of the scene, and The Times of Israel report states that it was probably set up as early as 7:00 am.

Journalist William Van Wagenen has detailed in a report for The Cradle that the roadblock likely led to Israeli forces unintentionally trapping some escaping ravers in a firefight between them and Palestinian fighters advancing on the Re’im military base from the north.

Psychoactive drugs

One thing that is clear from both We Will Dance Again and a Haaretz interview with an Israeli psychologist who has treated survivors is that the use of psychoactive drugs at the rave was widespread.

As participants arrived at the site on the night of 6 October, “everyone’s saying that they’re going to get so high,” one participant in the film recalled.

According to the Haaretz interview and to the film, ravers used ecstasy, acid, cocaine, magic mushrooms and possibly ketamine. Worse, many of the ravers had deliberately timed their dosages to kick in at sunrise – which turned out to be just before the Palestinian offensive began – with rocket salvos from Gaza starting at 6:26 am.

“This sucks so much! Everyone is high,” one participant in the film recalled feeling as the rockets soared overhead. Acid, another explained, “can make things seem much worse.”

Psychedelic drugs, the Israeli psychologist explained, can lead to a situation in which “parts of the unconscious also rise to consciousness.”

All of this makes it unlikely that many ravers were in a fit state to discern whether they were being shot at by Israelis, Palestinians or both as they ran for their lives.

Although the existence of the Hannibal Directive is an open secret inside Israel, its use on Israeli civilian targets was – as far as we know – unprecedented before 7 October 2023.

Hannibal attacks all over the south

About 105 residents were killed at Kibbutz Be’eri.

It is currently unknown how many of those were killed by Palestinians and how many by Israelis. The UN report states that “at least 57 structures in the kibbutz were destroyed or sustained damage, amounting to more than one third of all residential buildings.”

Many of these appear from the visual evidence to have been destroyed by Israel.

But one important fact to bear in mind is that Israel’s “Hannibal” massacre of Israelis at Be’eri was repeated all over the region.

We only know so much about the Pessi Cohen house massacre because two civilians survived to tell their story.

Similar incidents happened elsewhere. But in most places, there were few survivors, especially of the aerial bombardments.

An all-female tank unit commandeered a military vehicle it was untrained to use and stormed through the gates of Holit, an Israeli settlement near the boundary with Egypt and the frontier with Gaza, more than 14 miles south of the Supernova rave.

“We break into the community, crash the gate,” one of the soldiers told Israeli Channel 12. “The soldier points and tells me, ‘Shoot there, the terrorists are there.’ I ask him, ‘Are there civilians there?’ He says, ‘I don’t know, just shoot.’”

The tank commander then claims she decided not to shoot – but immediately contradicts herself: “I fire with my machine gun at a house.”


Similar to the visual evidence of Hannibal attacks on Israelis by Israel at Kibbutz Be’eri, an investigation by The Electronic Intifada last year also concluded that the same sort of house explosions took place at Kibbutz Kfar Aza.

The UN report lists a surprisingly high number of places where Hannibal attacks possibly or certainly took place.

Outside the Israeli settlement of Nirim (which lies on the path between the Palestinian city of Khan Younis and the Gaza Division’s Re’im military headquarters) one Israeli tank crew departed to Nir Oz, another nearby settlement.

Once there, the UN report states, “they noticed hundreds of people crossing into Israel and back to Gaza and they shot at them, including at vehicles laden with people, some of whom may have been hostages” (emphasis added).

The next paragraph of the report hints at the possibility of similar incidents at Nitzana, Kissufim and Holit.

How many were killed by Israel?

Despite initially claiming that 1,400 people were “murdered by Hamas” on 7 October last year, Israel soon began revising the figure downwards.

In November, the Israeli government announced that 200 out of this figure were in fact Hamas fighters. They had been so badly burned by Israeli bombings they were completely unidentifiable.

This demonstrates how indiscriminate much of Israel’s fire was that day.

The Israeli death count now stands at 1,154, according to Al Jazeera.

Of these, at least 314 are said in the UN report to have been “Israeli military personnel.”

In March, a comprehensive survey of three Israeli death tolls in Hebrew by the Al Jazeera Investigative Unit put the number of armed combatants higher, totaling 372.

As well as soldiers, the Al Jazeera figure includes police, security guards (i.e. armed settlement militias) and “security personnel.”

The 7 Days investigation concluded that officers from the Shin Bet – the undercover Israeli “internal security” agency – were also sent to join the battle in the south: “In the course of the fighting, 10 of the organization’s people were killed.”

The English edition of the Haaretz database of the dead revealed the names of three of these people – Yossi Tahar, Smadar Mor Idan and ​​Omer Gvera.

None of the three are listed in the database as combatants. It is therefore likely that the other seven dead Shin Bet combatants are also secretly listed as “civilians” on the database.

Al Jazeera’s raw data – provided by the investigative unit to The Electronic Intifada for this article – reveals that its figures of “security personnel” does indeed name eight Shin Bet officers among the dead.

The 372 declared combatants plus the two undeclared Shin Bet officers gives us 374 dead combatants – almost a third of the total dead Israelis.

Taking those away from the 1,154 total dead leaves us with a maximum of 780 dead Israeli civilians.

This means that at least 41 percent of the initial (erroneous) figure of 1,400 dead were actually combatants – mostly Israelis, but including 200 of the dead Palestinian fighters.

“Everyone in the vehicle was killed”

If a maximum of 780 unarmed Israelis died during the Al-Aqsa Flood offensive, how many of these were killed by Israel and how many by Palestinians?

The current answer to this question is that it is impossible to know without a truly independent international investigation.

And, as the UN report makes clear, Israel is blocking just such an investigation. “The commission considers that Israel is obstructing its investigations into events on and since 7 October 2023, both in Israel and in the occupied Palestinian territory.”

But it is possible for us to reach some tentative conclusions.

Al Jazeera’s investigative film found that “at least 18” of the noncombatant dead were definitely killed by Israeli ground troops and that at least 27 of the Israelis in Palestinian captivity “died somewhere between their home and the Gaza fence in circumstances that have not been explained.”

But Al Jazeera’s raw data shows that these are very well-attested and deliberate Hannibal killings, such as the infamous Pessi Cohen house massacre carried out by Barak Hiram.

This doesn’t take account of several other key figures, from which we can extrapolate a possible rough idea of the order of magnitude of the overall Hannibal and unintentional “friendly fire” deaths.


A video released by Israel in October last year unintentionally gave away some very strong evidence that the Hannibal Directive was used on Israeli captives on the road to Gaza. (Israel MFA)
The 7 Days investigation states that Israeli military investigators “examined some 70 vehicles that … did not reach Gaza because on their way they had been hit by fire from a helicopter gunship, a UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] or a tank, and at least in some of the cases, everyone in the vehicle was killed” (emphasis added).

It is unknown how many Israelis those 70 vehicles contained, but given what is known about other incidents, some cars probably contained several. These vehicles alone may have accounted for a very large number of Israeli civilian deaths.

Palestinian captors often packed multiple Israeli prisoners into pickup trucks, expropriated cars and even in some cases trailers dragged by tractors.

Fleeing Israelis did likewise.

One raver in the We Will Dance Again film describes desperately packing into cars to escape the Supernova site.

There were “a million people inside” the car, he recalled. “Half my body is outside,” he added, explaining that he was hanging out of the window.

Israeli combat helicopter footage released online and compiled in the Al Jazeera film shows one video of about a dozen people fleeing a packed car as they are fired on by the Israelis. Their fates are unknown.

The film shows many similar videos. It’s unclear where exactly near Gaza these incidents took place. You can watch the full film on Al Jazeera’s website or in the YouTube video embedded below (due to the platform’s age restrictions, you will need an appropriate YouTube account).



A November news report on the Israeli website *Ynet* quoted a helicopter pilot as saying that “in the first four hours from the start of the battles” alone, Israeli aircraft “attacked about 300 targets, most in Israeli territory.”

The report stated that they were commanded to “shoot at everything” near the fence with Gaza.

The reporter of the Hebrew piece was Yoav Zitun, the co-author of the 7 Days investigation, a well-sourced Israeli military reporter close to the intelligence and military establishment.

The drone operators seem to have been even more deadly than the helicopter pilots. The 7 Days piece says they often “took decisions to attack” by themselves and that by the end of the day on 7 October, “the squadron performed no fewer than 110 attacks on some 1,000 targets, most of which were inside Israel.”

If “targets” includes individual persons, it’s hard to know how many would have been Israelis. The pilots probably often did not know themselves. If a hit “target” also includes individual cars, the 1,000 targets hit could have easily resulted in hundreds of dead people.

The car “cemetery”

In November hundreds of the vehicles blown up during the Palestinian offensive were collected by Israeli troops and piled up in a scrapyard near the settlements of Tekuma and Netivot.



Photos and drone footage of the scrapyard clearly showed many of the cars were completely flattened and twisted in a manner consistent with Israeli bombing from the air.

In short, the cars looked very similar to the Palestinian cars (of both civilians and fighters) habitually bombed by Israel from the air in Gaza over the years.

Today, it seems the scrapyard has become something of a tourist attraction for Israel and its supporters – a site they refer to as a “car burial ground.” In one video shot there this past summer, an Israeli army tour guide says that the scrapyard contains “1,650 vehicles that were brought here.”

In one ambulance alone, he says, from the ash and “human dust” they recovered, the remains of 18 people were found.

Whatever the true figure of the Israelis dead from “Hannibal” attacks by Israel, it does seem entirely plausible that Israel killed hundreds of the Israelis who died during the course of the offensive.

The whitewash

For the last year, there has been a systematic cover-up by Israel.

Most of the Israeli reporting on this has been in Hebrew only. And not due to lack of access to English language media.

The lead author of the 7 Days investigation was Ronen Bergman – who is also a high profile New York Times reporter and bestselling author of several hagiographies of the Mossad and other Israeli spy agencies.

Bergman has yet to write about the Hannibal Directive in English in The New York Times or elsewhere.

Very few autopsies were carried out – not on the dead at Pessi Cohen’s house in Kibbutz Be’eri at any rate.

In the case of that particular crime, it would have likely been impossible anyway. Barak Hiram’s tank shelling meant most of his Israeli victims were burned to cinders – including 12-year-old Liel Hatsroni.



Many bodies were prematurely buried. Israeli cars destroyed in apparent “Hannibal” killings were crushed by Israeli authorities before being buried in the “cemetery” on a religious pretext.

The UN commission’s report criticizes Israel for barring them access to the country. “Israeli officials not only refused to cooperate with the commission’s investigation but also reportedly barred medical professionals and others from being in contact,” the report states.

In a whitewash “investigation” of the killings at Pessi Cohen’s house, the army in July largely cleared Barak Hiram of any wrongdoing.

The remains of the house have now been demolished by the army.

Last month, Hiram was promoted – appointed head of the humbled Gaza Division.

His predecessor, Brigadier General Avi Rosenfeld had quit over his failure to prevent the 7 October 2023 offensive.

Comparing the assault with Egypt’s surprise October 1973 offensive to regain territories occupied by Israel, one high-level source who was in the “Pit” military headquarters deep under Tel Aviv that day, recalled to Bergman and Zitun the following words that were intoned.

“It is unimaginable. It’s like the Old City of Jerusalem in the War of Independence or the outposts along the Suez Canal during the Yom Kippur War. We thought that this could never happen again.”

“This will remain a scar burnt into our flesh forever.”

(October 7th, 2023) Palestinian resistance launches surprise attack on Israel

After decades of Israeli occupation and human rights abuses, and after a 20-month-long mass nonviolent effort, Palestinians in Gaza launched a surprise operation against Israel on early Saturday morning, October 7th. Its scale is unprecedented, involving aerial, sea and ground operations. Details are only beginning to emerge.

Israel immediately began bombing Gaza and has turned off electricity to the enclave, leaving most of its two million inhabitants in the dark and hospitals dangerously impacted. There are now 200 Israelis dead, 9000 injured, and an unknown number captured; and 232 Palestinians dead and 1,600 injured.

Israeli forces, partly funded by the $13 million dollars per day that U.S. politicians have voted for them, are one of the world’s most powerful militaries, their weaponry vastly dwarfing Palestinians’. Today’s Palestinian land incursions largely consisted of individuals riding motorcycles and pickup trucks.

WHY DID THEY DO IT? Hamas spokesperson Khaled Qadomi told Al Jazeera that the group’s military operation is in “response to all the atrocities the Palestinians have faced over the decades,” and the Hamas deputy chief said the group is engaged “in a battle for freedom.” Hamas military chief Muhammad Deif explained: “We have decided to put an end to all of the occupation’s crimes”; senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh indicated that recent provocations at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem were a major reason for the surprise attack.

Other Israeli provocations include increased violence against Palestinians by illegal Israeli settlers, Israel’s treatment of Palestinian prisoners, and a spike in killings of Palestinians by the Israeli military. 2023 was the deadliest year on record for Palestinians in the West Bank, including for children.

Hamas fighters broke down the barrier wall that imprisons Gaza and entered several Israeli communities near the border. They took over 200 prisoners, which they hope to exchange for Palestinian prisoners, and also captured a number of Israeli military vehicles.

After being surprised by the scope of the Palestinian offensive, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced, “Citizens of Israel, we are at war [and will] fight back on a scale and intensity that the enemy has so far not experienced. The enemy will pay an unprecedented price.”

In Gaza, Israeli warplanes reportedly destroyed a 5-story residential building, hit a hospital, and targeted an ambulance.

Some media outlets refer to the Palestinian resistance fighters as “terrorists” – but under international law, armed resistance is the right of occupied people.

Israel's war has left the Gaza Strip in ruins and killed over 40,000 Palestinians, including 16,000 children.

Israeli troops bombard, besiege northern Gaza as ethnic cleansing unfolds

AntiWar reports:

The Israeli military has launched a fresh assault on northern Gaza and ordered all Palestinian civilians living in the north to head south, signaling Israel may be enacting an ethnic cleansing plan that has been reviewed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Known as the “general’s plan” since it was drawn up by retired IDF generals, the plan would result in the complete ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from areas in Gaza north of the Netzarim Corridor, a strip of land controlled by the Israeli military that separates Gaza City and other parts of the north from the south.

Itsik Zuaret, a reporter for Israel’s public broadcaster Kan, said the general’s plan was underway. “In the future, the entire northern area of ​​the Gaza Strip will be cleansed according to the general’s plan,” he wrote on X.

The first step of the plan is to transfer the estimated 300,000 Palestinian civilians out of northern Gaza, then impose a full siege on the north to starve out remaining Hamas fighters and other Palestinians who remain. Northern Gaza would be declared a “closed military zone,” meaning anyone who remains will be targeted by the IDF.

Palestinian leaders are encouraging residents of the north to stay, reminding them there is no safe place in Gaza.

ANADOLU AGENCY ADDS: At least 30 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes on northern Gaza early Sunday, marking the deadliest Israeli escalation since May.

Palestinian medics reported that 30 bodies and several injured people were transported to hospitals in northern Gaza following Israeli airstrikes that struck Jabalia and Beit Lahia.

NOTE: In 1948, Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people and exiled them permanently to Gaza and other locations in what Palestinians refer to as the Nakba (“catastrophe”). Many Palestinians see the current situation as another Nakba – already 75% of the population of Gaza has been internally displaced – and fear that they will never be allowed to return to their homes.

Forced transfer of a people group is a crime against humanity.

Report: US To Give Israel ‘Compensation’ If It Hits Only US-Approved Targets in Iran

AntiWar reports:

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

Amichai Stein, a correspondent for Kan 11, said the package would include military aid and a guarantee that the US would provide total diplomatic support.

“An American official said, ‘If you don’t hit targets A, B, C, we will provide you with diplomatic protection and an arms package,” Chair said. “Israeli officials responded saying, ‘We consider the United States and listen to them. But we will do anything and everything we can to protect the citizens and the security of the State of Israel.’”

The US is coordinating with Israel on its plans to respond to the Iranian missile barrage that hit Israel last week, which came in response to several Israeli escalations throughout the region, including the July 31 assassination of Hamas’s political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran.

The US has said it will ensure Iran faces “severe consequences” but has warned against certain types of attacks, including attacks on Iran’s civilian nuclear facilities. President Biden said the US and Israel were discussing the idea of strikes on Iranian oil sites, but later said if he was in Israel’s shoes, he would be thinking about “other alternatives than striking oil fields.”

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

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

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

Report: Israel’s year-long attacks on religious freedom

Anadolu Agency reports:

Israel destroyed 611 mosques, eight cemeteries and three churches and caused the partial destruction of 214 mosques during its year-long aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip which began on 7 October 2023, the Palestinian Ministry of Endowments has said.

In a report issued Sunday, the ministry pointed out that over the past year, Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank have stormed and desecrated Al-Aqsa Mosque 262 times, performing Jewish prayers in the Muslim holy site.

According to the report, Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque along with ministers of his far-right government six times, and threatened to establish a Jewish synagogue on the site. Ben-Gvir has relentlessly worked to intensify the Jewish presence at the mosque through government support and by giving it a legal cover, it added.

The report indicated that “extremist Jewish religious groups have attacked and spat on Christians and Christian pilgrims in the occupied city of Jerusalem, specifically around ​​the Church of the Prison of Christ, and restricted them during Christian holidays, and prevented them from reaching the Nativity Church in Bethlehem in southern occupied West Bank and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in East Jerusalem.”

Gaza’s Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs also said that 19 of 60 cemeteries were targeted, with bodies exhumed and desecrated.

The ministry also reported that 238 of its staff members were killed and 19 were detained by Israeli forces.

Israel issues new evacuation orders for 26 towns in southern Lebanon

Various agencies report:

The Israeli army ordered civilians in 26 border towns in southern Lebanon on Sunday to evacuate immediately amid air and ground attacks on the country.

Military spokesman Avichay Adraee asked the Lebanese residents to leave their homes and move north of the Awali River.

A key ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed the creation of an “empty” buffer zone in southern Lebanon.

Writing in Israel Hayom, an outlet traditionally supportive of Netanyahu, former national security advisor Meir Ben-Shabbat said that emptying the border area in Lebanon of people would be one way to ensure that residents in northern Israel can return home without facing attacks.

“The advantage of this alternative is the relatively low costs of enforcement and the fact that it can be made possible on a routine basis without serious dilemmas,” he wrote.

“Another advantage of it is in the message it conveys: that terrorism against Israel causes a loss of territory.”

Palestinian journalist killed in Israeli bombing after threats against his life

Middle East Eye reports:

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian journalist on Sunday, weeks after he received threatening messages instructing him to stop filming Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip.

Hassan Hamad, 19, died when his home in Jabalia refugee camp was struck by artillery fire.

Hamad was reporting on the new Israeli incursion just moments before he was killed.

A colleague with access to his account on X said that Hamad had been sending videos about the assault late into the night.

During their last phone call at 6am (3am GMT), Hamad said: “There they are. There they are. It’s over.”

A few months before his killing, Hamad shared a screenshot with his colleagues of a threatening WhatsApp message he received from an Israeli number.

The message read: “Listen… If you continue spreading lies about Israel, we’ll come for you next and turn your family into… This is your last warning.”

Lebanon calls for international pressure to end brutal Israeli attacks on medics, hospitals

Anadolu Agency reports:

Lebanese authorities called on Sunday for piling pressure on Israel to halt its attacks against the health sector in Lebanon amid air and ground attacks on the country.

In a statement, the Lebanese Order of Nurses (ONS) accused Israel of deliberately targeting hospitals, doctors, nurses, and paramedics “in a blatant defiance of international laws and conventions,” and called on international groups to pressure Israel to cease.

Israel has launched massive airstrikes on Lebanon against what it calls Hezbollah targets, killing more than 2,011 victims since Sept. 23, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

At least 97 medical and emergency personnel have been killed and more than 10 hospitals damaged in the attacks.

On 1st anniversary of Oct. 7, Israel imposing complete lockdown on West Bank

Anadolu Agency reports:

Israel has announced a complete lockdown on the occupied West Bank for Monday, marking the first anniversary of the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023 and the start of Israel’s offensive on Gaza.

The official broadcasting authority reported Sunday that Israeli authorities have decided to enforce a full security perimeter around the West Bank, closing the crossings that connect it to Israel and preventing the entry of Palestinian workers.

In the occupied West Bank, at least 742 Palestinians, including children, have since been killed, nearly 6,200 others injured, and more than 10,900 arrested, according to Palestinian figures.

Man attempts self-immolation at pro-Palestine protest near White House

Anadolu Agency reports:

A man attempted to self-immolate Saturday during a pro-Palestine protest near the White House, according to footage on social media.

The man, who claimed to be a journalist, was seen in the video with burns to his left arm as those around him poured water on it. He raised his left arm high with flames engulfing it.

The man is heard screaming that he is a journalist. “We spread the misinformation,” he screams at one point. “I’m a journalist and I said it was okay.”

Police detained the man and established a perimeter around the area; one report said he was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses said the man is a CBS-affiliated journalist and he was accusing the network of “spreading misinformation.”

Four people so far have staged self-immolations in the US to protest Washington’s support of the war in the Gaza Strip.

Remembering Archbishop Desmond Tutu, defender of Palestine

Middle East Monitor looks back:

When the world lost Archbishop Desmond Tutu on 26 December 2021, it lost more than just a Nobel Peace Prize laureate or the former Archbishop of Cape Town. It lost a moral compass, a voice that refused to be silenced in the face of injustice, whether in the townships of South Africa or Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.

Tutu displayed a rare foresight that was lacking in most public figures. As early as 2002, in an article for the Guardian titled ‘Apartheid in the Holy Land’ he described Israel as an apartheid state, a stance taken at a time when such comparisons were still relatively rare.

The former US President Jimmy Carter was the only other global figure to describe Israel as such in a 2006 book titled ‘Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid’. Many have followed since, and over the past few years, a wall-to-wall consensus has formed within the international human rights community about Israel’s practice of apartheid.

Talking to South African media, Tutu would say: “I have witnessed the systemic humiliation of Palestinian men, women and children by members of the Israeli security forces. Their humiliation is familiar to all black South Africans who were corralled and harassed and insulted and assaulted by the security forces of the apartheid government.”

Often he’d describe the racism perpetrated by Israel as being worse than the racism in South Africa. “In many instances [Israeli apartheid] is worse” than South Africa under white minority rule, said Tutu in a 2012 interview with David Frost.

Tutu’s journey to becoming a leading voice for Palestine began in the townships of South Africa, where he witnessed the daily indignities and injustices of apartheid. As Tutu rose to prominence in the Anglican Church and the anti-apartheid movement, he developed a theology that emphasised what he would describe as God’s concern for justice and human dignity.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor,” Tutu would say. “If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

In this 2012 interview with Sir David Frost he talks about how Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is ‘in many ways worse than apartheid in South Africa’:

NOTE: Multiple human rights organizations have documented and reported on Israeli apartheid, including: Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Israeli human rights groups B’Tselem, and Yesh Din , the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), and Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic.



Iranian missiles ‘overwhelmed’ Israel’s air defenses: Wall St. Journal

The Cradle reports:

Satellite imagery shows that Iran’s barrage of ballistic missiles earlier this week was successful in overwhelming Israel’s air defenses, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 6 October.

The Iranian attack on Israel demonstrated Iran’s advanced missile capabilities and caused major damage to three Israeli airbases, where as many as 32 of the roughly 180 Iranian missiles (18 percent) successfully hit within the bases’ perimeters, according to experts.

WSJ concluded that future Iranian strikes “could have much more serious consequences if they target civilian infrastructure or heavily populated residential areas.”

Iran fired the ballistic missiles at Israel on 1 October in response to a series of aggressions committed by Israel, including the assassination of high-level Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.

The Iranian armed forces’ general staff has promised that, if Israel retaliates, Iran will answer with “widespread and comprehensive destruction” of infrastructure within Israel.

Israeli Airstrikes Target Aid Trucks in Central Syria

AntiWar reports:

Israeli attacks against Syria continued apace over the weekend, with strikes reported against humanitarian aid trucks in the Homs Province of Central Syria. The trucks were carrying food and blankets, along with medical aid, from the Iraqi Red Crescent for those fleeing Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.

Details are still emerging. The attacks reportedly took place in an industrial area, near a car factory. Three members of the relief teams sent from Iraq were reported wounded in the strikes, and their condition is not at present clear.

Israel has reportedly been attacking Syria almost daily since its ground invasion of Lebanon started.

Shooting operation kills one Israeli officer, injures several in Beersheba

The Cradle reports:

One female Israeli officer was killed and ten people wounded, two of them critically, in a shooting operation at the central bus station in the city of Beersheba in southern Israel, Israeli media reported on 6 October.

The attacker was identified as Ahmed Saeed al-Uqbi, an Israeli citizen and resident of Hura, a Bedouin village in the Negev Desert.

Uqbi, who wore a bulletproof vest and was armed with a gun and a knife, opened fire at Beersheba’s central bus station, authorities reported, before being shot and killed by police.

STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – OCTOBER 6, 2024:

Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 6, 2024: at least 42,650* ( 41,909 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 741 in the West Bank (~160 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

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

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

At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 25 from West Bank).
At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
Palestinian injuries from October 7 – October 6, 2024: at least 103,503 (including at least 97,303 in Gaza and 6,200 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 6, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is at least 2,011 (at least 127 children, 194 women) and 9,535 injuries (690 of them children). An estimated 1.2 million have been displaced.

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

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

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

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

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

Compilation of news reports – IAK staff

The Israeli army killed 23 more Palestinians and injured 66 in attacks on the Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Saturday.

These figures do not include the death toll from the overnight bombardment across Gaza.
Israeli strikes across Lebanon Saturday killed 23 people and injured 93 others, according to the country’s health ministry.

Anadolu Agency reports:

NORTHERN GAZA: Israel carried out more than 100 airstrikes in northern Gaza overnight, killing at least 30 Palestinians and injuring dozens, marking the deadliest Israeli escalation since May.

Following the attack, the Israeli military ordered residents to evacuate their homes and relocate to the Al-Mawasi “safe” zone in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, claiming “the region remains an active combat zone.” (WATCH How safe is Gaza’s al-Mawasi ‘safe zone’?)

CENTRAL GAZA: At least 24 Palestinians, including children, were killed, and 93 others injured early Sunday morning in two separate Israeli airstrikes targeting a mosque and a school that were sheltering displaced civilians in central Gaza.

BEIRUT: Israeli warplanes carried out more than 30 overnight airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburb, marking the “heaviest night” of attacks since Israel expanded its military offensive against Lebanon on Sept. 23.

Israeli officials claimed that the strikes were based on “precise intelligence,” and targeted Hezbollah infrastructure, as well as weapons caches, which Israel alleges are stored in residential buildings.

Israeli military claims bombed mosque was Hamas command center

Al Jazeera reports:

The Israeli military has claimed, without providing evidence, that the “Shahada al-Aqsa mosque” it bombed in Deir el-Balah was being used as a “command and control complex”.

Posting on X, the Israeli military also claimed that “many steps were taken to reduce the chance of harming civilians” before bombing the mosque, which was housing displaced Palestinians.

At least 18 people have been confirmed killed so far. Footage of the aftermath of the attack, verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency, shows rescue crews scrambling to pull bodies from under the rubble.

NOTE: Israel justifies every strike with essentially the same words, “the site was a Hamas command and control center”; it makes the same claims, “many steps were taken to reduce the chance of harming civilians,” often adding that it used “precise” munitions.

The bombing sites consistently show no evidence of Hamas use, attacks are often carried out without warning to civilians to evacuate, and cause massive damage and loss of life. (More here.)

Israeli army admits to targeting mosque in southern Lebanon

Anadolu Agency reports:

The Israeli army admitted on Saturday that it targeted a mosque in southern Lebanon, claiming that Hezbollah members were present and using it as an operations base.

The Israeli army claimed in a statement that its airforce carried out a “precise strike late Friday night on Hezbollah fighters operating from a command center located within the mosque near Salah Ghandoor Hospital in Bint Jbeil.”

The Israeli army claimed that Hezbollah members were using the mosque for “planning and executing attacks against Israeli forces.”

This is the same pretext that the Israeli army used to destroy mosques and churches in the Gaza Strip.

West Bank: Israeli Forces Kill a Former Prisoner Near Tubas

IMEMC reports:

Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian young man, on Saturday, after abducting him in the village of Wadi al-Far’a, southwest of Tubas in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.

Kamal Bani Oda, the director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) in Tubas, reported that Israeli forces shot Ahmad Mustafa Ahmad Awaisa, 30, with several live rounds, before abducting him.

He added that the slain young man was a former prisoner who was released in September 2024, after spending two years in occupation prisons.

Media sources said that a large army force stormed Wadi al-Far’a village, on Saturday morning, and surrounded the home of the Awaisa family, before invading the home, shooting the former prisoner with several live rounds, and abducting him.

NOTE: The entire West Bank has been under Israeli occupation since 1967; all its official entrances and exits are controlled by Israeli soldiers, making its Palestinian inhabitants virtual prisoners. Many are families that were ethnically cleansed from Israel during Israel’s founding war (see this and this and this) and its 1967 war. Israeli forces often invade them; one example is here.

In a landmark advisory opinion on July 19, 2024, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian land “illegal” and demanded the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Two senior Hamas commanders killed in Lebanon strikes


Middle East Eye reports:

Two senior Hamas commanders were reportedly killed in Israeli strikes in northern Lebanon.

Field commander Saeed Atallah Ali was reportedly killed in a strike targeting the Beddawi camp for Palestinian refugees near the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.

Mohammed Hussein al-Lawis was killed in another strike targeting the Beqaa Valley town of Saadnayel.

Hamas confirmed both deaths.

NOTE: These men are just the latest in a string of Israeli assassinations of resistance leaders, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian officials. Analysts suggest Israel is leaving itself no one to negotiate a ceasefire with.

French president buckles under pressure from Netanyahu

Various agencies report:

Anadolu Agency: French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday called for halting arms shipments to Israel over its operations in Gaza, stressing the need to prioritize a political solution in the region.

Macron claimed that France was not sending weapons to Israel for use in Gaza, and insisted that Israel should adhere to international and humanitarian law.

AFP continues the story: Hours later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed French President Emmanuel Macron for calling for a halt to arms supplies to Israel, which is fighting wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

“As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side.

“Yet, President Macron and other Western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel. Shame on them,” Netanyahu said in a statement issued by his office.

“Israel will win with or without their support, but their shame will continue long after the war is won”, Netanyahu added.

Then. from Middle East Eye: Macron’s office walked back his statement, emphasizing that he “supports Israel’s security and demonstrates it,” that he mobilized France’s military to aid Israel twice, and that he “personally told the Iranian president of France’s commitment to Israel’s security.”

“It is in this context that the president calls for an end to arms exports intended for use in Gaza,” the statement continued. “We must return to diplomatic solutions.”

“France is Israel’s steadfast friend,” the Elysee concluded.

THAT I MAY KNOW HIM!(PHP.3:10)
=======================
"BROTHER'S KEEPER"; GOD'S EXPLICIT REQUIREMENT FOR ETERNAL SECURITY! [MAT.25:31-46,PHP.2:2-5]
=======================
Let's begin by saying that,BEING OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER,IS ACTUALLY LIVING OUT THE GOD EXPECTED PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN LIFE!

Though, by worldly concerns it's perceptibly complicated,yet it doesn't change the fact that,being our brother's keeper is a key requirement for the confirmation and completion of our Salvation project.

Indeed, it's the second most explicit requirement of God from us. For the avoidance of doubt,the latter part of God's Law(No.7-10),is hinged on it...its summarised message being,*our need to be very mindful of fellow man,*to treat others like we desire to be treated. The FIRST REQUIREMENT of course,(No.1-6),is our avowed unsolicited obligatory duties to our awesomely Jealous FATHER *JEHOVAH*

God's dealing with Man right from the onset,is replete with His apparently unwavering determination that we must be on the lookout for one another. In Genesis 4:9,where the term *Brother's keeper* has its foundation,God asked Cain of his brother, Abel's whereabouts. And Cain while shelving responsibility begat the now popular phrase "Am I my brother's keeper?" And to emphasize HIS DISPLEASURE, God placed a curse on Cain in the vs 10-11,for failing to lookout for his brother.

In Eze.22:30,God was apparently dissatisfied when He sought for a Man [Brother's keeper] to stand in the gap for Israel, and finding none,was compelled to spit the consequences of His wroth on them. HE cares so much about our being responsible for one another,(the only way we can significantly shut devil up,in his campaign against Man's well being).

Consider this incident between our Lord Christ Jesus and fiery Peter.

31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32. But I have prayed for thee, THAT THY FAITH FAIL NOT: and when thou art converted, STRENGTHEN THY BRETHREN. (Luk 22: 31-32)

I hope you picked up a thing from that scripture...simply put, Christ Jesus is telling Peter,*lookout for your brothers wellbeing*... won't they in turn lookout for Peter... certainly!

Throughout the Bible,God again and again demonstrated His Resolve that we have a duty to be there for one another always, and in whatever situation and condition...THIS IS WHAT WE GOT WRONG, THAT'S GIVING THE DEVIL UNDESERVED VICTORY WITHIN OUR MIDST...MAY GOD REVERSE THAT TREND TODAY IN CHRIST JESUS NAME,AMEN

In Numbers 12:1-16, we read of Moses elder siblings,who instead of helping to quell the rebellion brewing oftentimes in the camp of the Israelites against Moses, resorted to fuelling it, by joining the Israelites to plot against their younger brother...we are told of how great God's wroth was,to the effect that Miriam was stricken with leprosy;

9. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.

10. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. (Num 12: 9-10)THOSE WHO BLASPHEME GOD'S SERVANTS (THE GOD CALLED ONES)...TAKE NOTE ALSO.

Okay,in John 9,Christ Jesus personally and firmly confirmed His desire that we lookout for one another. After He restored the sight of the Man born blind,the scribes cast him out. When Christ saw this,HE sought him out... notice this... HE DIDN'T SEND ANYONE...HE LOOKED FOR THE MAN HIMSELF,and having found him,encouraged and comforted him, and in the process,wiping any seed of doubt and fear that his being cast out by the Religious Leaders may have initiated;

24. Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

25. He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no , I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. (Joh 9: 24-25)

34. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36. He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

37. And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

38. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. (Joh 9: 34-38)

In Php.2:2-5, Apostle Paul confirmed the dictates of Christ Jesus;

2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4. LOOK NOT EVERY MAN ON HIS OWN THINGS, BUT EVERY MAN ALSO ON THE THINGS OF OTHERS.

5. Let THIS MIND BE IN YOU, WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS: (Php 2: 2-5)

Then let's take some verses from our anchor scripture;

35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee ? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee ?

39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: (Mat 25: 35-42)

It's essentially from 31-46...read it through if you can...infact,I encourage you to.

You see, from the verses above,here this;

Being wealthy or rich isn't a prerequisite for brotherly keeping...there are many around you and me that we can *brother keep* in several ways.
That person who's always poorly dressed(tattered or worn-out clothes and shoes),while in your wardrobe,there sit arrays of clothes and shoes that you don't really need or that you can afford to spare. It won't take anything from you,if you relinquish them for the sake of the aforementioned... without having to be begged first.

In your environment,there are those finding it difficult to afford just a meal a day. Meanwhile,your trashcan is a faithful *Keeper of throwaway food*. It will not cost you a thing to deny or relieve your trashcan off its duties and put a smile on some persons faces. You don't even have to wait until you get what to throw away.

How about the *many homeless* because of house rents inaffordability, either those you saw yourself or those you were told of, you may not have an estate,but you know in your heart of hearts,that you can do something,if you choose to...why are you waiting...go ahead and do it.

Haven't you seen school age and older children hawking through our towns and cities, because of school fees and poor parentage? What prevents you from taking a closer interest when you know you can pull one or two strings!

Mr CEO,what about some cars in your garage,that haven't been touched for years,except *regular warming* and yet, you scold your poorly paid staff,and probably deduct from the peanuts you pay them, because they came to work late because they have to trek ...as there's no workable transport allowance.

Of course the less privileged are always suppressed and oppressed,subjected to daily humiliations, because there's none to plead their CAUSE. Perhaps, you are an elite,in a position to right THINGS... what's keeping you from being their voice...is it the *It's not my business* academy? You can choose to come out and do something. There is so much we can do, as *our brother's keeper* Let's do it!

THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL IS THAT, WHATEVER WE DO FOR OTHERS,(GOOD OR EVIL), CHRIST JESUS CONFIRMED AND DECLARED THAT,WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING THEM TO HIM;
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch AS YE HAVE DONE it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have DONE IT UNTO ME. (Mat 25: 40)

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch AS YE DID IT NOT to one of the least of these, YE DID it NOT TO ME. (Mat 25: 45)

Conclusively,it all begins and ends with love... without love,we can't be a brother's keeper... without love, being a brother's keeper becomes a lucrative market,as we see all day and night on social media and TV, where every little offer of help is recorded and published,even before the help is received.

3. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4. That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. (Mat 6: 3-4)

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. (1Jn 2: 9)

7. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1Jn 4: 7-8)

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? (1Jn 4: 20)

May the MERCY and GRACE of God continue to speak for us, AMEN !

BQQQM!!! Panic in DC: The Devolution Plan and Secret Military Orders – Obama, Klain, and Biden’s Emergency Sit-Down Amidst Political Chaos!

Breaking News: Explosive Revelations in DC! Uncover the chaos shaking Washington D.C. as Obama, Klain, and Biden meet in secret amidst whispers of a Devolution Plan, military orders, and a Trump 2024 comeback. Dive deep into the battle for America’s future!

The nation is in a state of shock as whispers from behind closed doors suggest a gripping political drama unfolding in the heart of Washington D.C. An emergency meeting between powerful figures has set the capital ablaze with rumors that could change the course of the country. With Vice President Kamala Harris sidelined, names like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer are floated as potential replacements. What could be so seismic as to shake the very fabric of the White House?

The source of panic? Doug Kass, a well-connected DNC insider, leaked sensitive information igniting a frenzy. Is this merely a scripted act designed to manipulate public opinion, or is there a real struggle for control at play? The lines blur between reality and fiction in a 24/7 news cycle filled with conspiracy theories.

At the heart of this political storm is the Devolution Plan, a series of alleged secret military orders signed by Trump to regain control of mainstream media and root out “the deep state.” Imagine every headline and piece of information fed to the public orchestrated as part of a much larger plan.

This is not just a power play; it aims to expose corruption and illegal activities. The chaos must reach a boiling point, leading to drastic measures—potentially canceling elections and sparking a nationwide revolt.

Rumors of military intervention are surfacing, suggesting a mass arrest of corrupt officials to return power to the "rightful leaders." This isn’t just a coup; it’s a necessary action to stabilize a country spiraling out of control.

The narrative doesn’t end there. Trump is expected to face a staged house arrest, followed by a failed assassination attempt, designed to portray him as the unshakeable leader poised to save the nation. This scripted drama aims to sway public opinion and solidify Trump’s image as the hero of this saga.

As America braces for the storm, it’s crucial to remain informed and vigilant. The panic in Washington D.C. signals a monumental shift that could rewrite the very fabric of American history. Stay alert; the future of our nation depends on it!

Darkfield Microscopy of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chivas Regal and Beer
And a look at distilled water. It's mostly good news

Professor Anita Baxas,MD

After examining water from different sources, I turned to testing my favorite Californian Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, Chivas Regal Scotch Whiskey and Budweiser Beer. The good news is that the Chardonnay and Chivas are the cleanest drinks under the microscope. No hydrogels, no fibers and no bacteria. The Sauvignon Blanc had structures that look like microchips but it turns out they are probably crystals. The Budweiser beer too had some structures that could be hydrogels.


Here is Chardonnay:


The blurry circles are out of focus artifacts baked into the slide. The focus is on the level of the liquid as I could see it flowing. As you can see, there is nothing to be seen in the liquid.

Here is Chivas Regal:


There is absolutely nothing to be seen here. The image below shows few glowing white dots that may be tiny sediments that weren’t filtered out or crystals that formed over time as this bottle has been open sitting in my bar for many years.


Following is what I found in Sauvignon Blanc from Chile.





These structures look like microchips, but they may just be crystals. I found this information about wine crystals:

Most of us have experienced opening what promises to be a phenomenal bottle of wine, only to be surprised by small crystals on the cork or particles suspended in the wine. Don’t panic—those crystals are called tartrates and they are simply a sign of how the wine was made. They are harmless to you and do not affect wine quality. In fact, tartrates in wine often indicate a higher quality wine. Tartrates—also affectionately called “wine diamonds” —are formed from tartaric acid, which is naturally occurring in all wines and provides structure, balance, and flavor.

What are tartrates?

Tartrate crystals, also known as wine crystals, are crystalline deposits of potassium bitartrate that can form in wine during fermentation and aging. Tartrates in wine develop when tartaric acid binds with potassium under cold conditions.

Let’s be geeky for a minute

What is the story with acid in wine? Tartaric acid is one of three main acids found in wine grapes alongside malic and citric acids. Each type of acid plays a key role in the wine production process and contributes different flavors and textures to the end wine. While malic acid does contribute to the aromas of a wine, it is more known for its role during the winemaking process when the winemaker opts to include malolactic fermentation; in this process, the stronger malic acid is converted into the softer, smoother lactic acid. On the other hand, tartaric acid is arguably the most important acid in wine due to the prominent role it plays in maintaining the chemical stability of the wine, the color, and influencing the taste of the finished product.

During the fermentation and barrel aging process, less than half of the tartaric acid present in a wine will settle out and bind with lees, pulp debris, and precipitated tannins and pigments. The majority of the tartaric acid will stay soluble throughout the production process. The remaining tartaric acid in a wine is the primary acid you taste, and is essential to the final mouthfeel and balance, adding an additional layer of complexity to a wine.

From: https://www.stonestreetwines.com/understanding_tartrates_crystals_in_wine_effects_of_cold_stabilization.html

The Sauvignon Blanc is definitely of a higher quality than the Chardonnay which could explain why the Chardonnay didn’t have any crystals.

I also examined a Budweiser Beer from a pre-Covid glass bottle. It had some structures in it that might be hydrogels. There were a lot of moving bacteria which is normal for beer. The following images are at 1600x magnification.




In brightfield there were two fibers that don’t look like fungi (Saccharomyces) to make beer. It’s not always possible to determine what we see under a microscope as it doesn’t come with a chemical analysis.



To the delight of many wine and scotch afficionados it seems that wine and scotch are safe to drink in regards to being free of hydrogels. Cheers!

Distilled Water

Some readers asked me to check distilled water. I bought a gallon of the only brand our grocery store had on hand, Crystal and examined it:


It had foreign material in it that really isn’t supposed to be in distilled water. I don’t think they are hydrogels though as there are no active quantum dots inside the structures.



The out of focus circles are etched into the slide. The focus is on the liquid level, not the slide level.

This video below shows a lot of bacteria in the sample. To ensure that there was no contamination from the slide or cover slip, I checked a fresh set of slides and cover slips without any sample just with the oil on the condenser to ensure it wasn’t the oil that was contaminated. They all checked out clean. I redid the test after disinfecting a new slide and cover slip and it again showed bacteria in the sample. It also showed a few very bright dots roaming around which could be larger bacteria. In any case this isn’t water I would want to consume.

I can’t check self made distilled water as I have no equipment to distill water. I also don’t have a “still” to make alcohol (just joking).

Note to readers in the UK: Plaquex therapy will be available in the UK probably by the end of October. The clinic will also be introducing detox treatments for the Covid jabs at a later date. Once the clinic begins offering Plaquex, I will post it on this Substack with the contact information.

Book Store: www.anitabaxasmd.com
Books for UK orders are shipped from the UK, US orders are shipped from the US.

Note about your comments: I read them all and I appreciate your questions and suggestions. Unfortunately, the comments have been taking up more and more of my limited time which is why I decided not to respond to them any more as I’m doing this research besides my regular work (the one that pays the bills), advising the detox clinic (for free) that will open in about a week and taking care of my little sister who has Down Syndrome as well as my household, vegetable and fruit garden.

A BRIEF PRIMER ON THE HISTORY OF AERIAL SPRAYING - Weapons Grade Advanced Nanomaterials aka Morgellons And The Chemical Overlap To COVID19 Bioweapons
Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

Dr Hildegarde Staninger, Author of Global Brain Chip and Mesogens has been sending me a lot of historic scientific papers and presentations that she and her colleagues published over the decades. This publication was done by her colleague, Dr. Colodzin and presented at the Health Freedom USA War Council 2010 meeting. It describes an important timeline of development of advanced nanomaterials. It also describes Dr. Staningers study on samples from 24 individuals that were sent to 4 different toxicology labs and found the filaments were not biologic, but were silicone based with a two part polyester resin of acryolin and methylmethacrylates weapons grade nanomaterials. Please note that polymethacrylates are stealth nanoparticles in the Moderna patent, and researchers like Dr Geanina Hagima have found large quantities of Silicone in the COVID 19 vials. These chemical characterizations are important clues as to the overlap of COVID19 bioweapon and the historical advanced nanomaterials called Morgellon’s.


GLOBAL BRAIN CHIP AND MESOGENS Nano Machines for Ultimate Control of False Memories - Computer System For Collective Mind Control

BREAKING NEWS: New Analysis Of C19 Bioweapons: No MRNA, But Toxic Metals and Silicone. Dental Anesthetics & Pneumovax Also Contain Silicone & Metals Used For Nanotech-Interview With Dr. Geanina Hagima

The paper was named

CHICKEN LITTLE 101: A BRIEF PRIMER ON THE HISTORY OF AERIAL SPRAYING AND THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THOSE WHO ARE DEPLOYING IT.

by Benjamin Colodzin, Ph.D. I inserted some of the slides that were used for the original presentation. All of this research is important background information for our understanding of the current advanced nanomaterials warfare waged with the COVID19 bioweapons.

Abstract: We are no longer children with an innocent hearts, who have read the story of Chicken Little and how the sky was falling. Well, the new Chicken Little who, graduated from Chicken Little 101 of the world knows that it is true – the sky is falling filled with not only just molecules of the air we breathe, but aerial emissions, smog, G.E.M.S., smart dust, smart motes, RDIF ID tags, and other debris. It is being sprayed day and night making “X’s, O’s, A’s and other grids in the sky over our global nations cities whether for weather modification, vector control, and/or aerial mass inoculations. Hear this - Chicken Little’s’ - of the world it is time for us to grow up and not be like the wooden boy Pinocchio. We must become real thinking scholars. All of us, who realize that any continuous exposure from even the simplistic contrails of a plane flying over head for long periods of time, will cause you to breathe “bad air,” that will eventually cause lung damage. It does not matter if it is carbon particles or nano composites laced with modified waterborne polyurethane (Styrofoam) mixed with modified food starch as an aerial dispersant. It can only make shiny white sticky goo in any healthy lung of an athlete, child, animal or even Chicken Little himself. This paper will outline and address aerial spraying through a time line that depicts the aerial emission events and ends with fellow human being’s thoughts on a simple form of consciousness for those who deploy aerial pollutive materials into our environment’s air, land and water ways.

These were clinical samples from Morgellon’s victims


And historic microscopic analysis of Chemtrail ingredients.


A HISTORICAL TIME LINE OF AERIAL SPRAYING IN AND BY THE USA HOME OF THE RED, WHITE & BLUE and UNCLE SAM

1949: The first use of aerial spray operations under State and Federal mandates for vector control (insects, virus, etc.) beginning under the Geneva Act for Chemical and Biological Weapons of 1949.

1949 – Present: Many subsequent amendments to the above Act, and parallel U.S. Acts including the 2001 Patriot Act, 2001 Space Preservation Act, and the 2005 Weather Modification Research and Technology Act, have expanded the authority to conduct aerial spray operations over U.S. territory for a wide variety of purposes.

1954-1975: “Vietnam Era” U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia leads to military research, development, and deployment of aerial spray operations for a wide variety of military objectives on the largest scale yet seen, with the application of Agents Orange, Blue, White, Pink and Purple, etc., to millions of acres of Southeast Asian territory.

1974: U.S. Navy Secretary, acting for U.S. Government, patents a highly efficient powder contrail dispersing technology for emitting from high and low altitude aircraft.

1984: The U.S. documentary film SECRET AGENT, brings to U.S. audiences video footage of aerial spray operations in Vietnam and the United States, and interviews it includes with Vietnam veterans and their families about health consequences for people on the ground.

1988: Then-Vice President George H.W. Bush allegedly gives secret orders to the CIA to revive the long-dormant MK-ULTRA mind control division, which had supposedly been ordered shut down by Congress in 1963. This division will reportedly be involved with human-implantable chip technologies, according to allegations made by Dave Larson in 2009 (see Larson in the 2009 Timeline).

1989: The Treaty of Open Skies (TOS) is initiated by George H.W. Bush. This proposal will allow foreign pilots flying on United Nations aircraft to legally overfly U.S. territory; presumably to verify military data as per START international agreements.

1992: The Open Skies Treaty (TOS) is signed in Helsinki (signed for USA by Secretary of Defense, James Baker).

1992-93: TOS is supported by Clinton Administration

1993: TOS is officially ratified by the U.S. Senate.

2000: The Official Department of the Air Force response to queries about chemtrails reads in part: “the term “chemtrail” is a hoax that began circulating approximately three years ago which asserts the government is involved in a joint federal program of covert spraying of the public . . . There is no such thing as a “chemtrail” – the natural contrails are safe and are a natural phenomenon. They pose no health hazard of any kind.”

January 2000-July 2001: Clifford Carnicom receives the first official refusal from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for his request to analyze sample(s) collected underneath an aerial spray operation (“Fibrous Substance Sample”; refusal letter requires 18 month response time form date of request.

March 2001: Retired U.S. Army General Al Cuppett, a former insider of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, blows whistle to U.S. military Central Command about the presence of Russian (and possibly foreign national) pilots that are using United nations aircraft for their spray operations, conducted through aerial spray operations above the U.S. mainland.

Cuppett alleges this activity dates back to 1993, when the Treaty on Open Skies was officially ratified by the U.S.

January 2002: TOS is officially in force after Russia and Belarus complete their ratification processes.

2001-2006: Samples are collected on the ground underneath aerial spray operations and analyzed by numerous civilian investigators in the USA (Idaho, GA, and other locations), The samples reveal a wide variety of heavy metals, toxic chemical compounds, bioengineered fungi, and other biological active materials in the samples collected.

Note: The difference between a contrail and chemtrail is the time limit. Chemtrails last for long periods of time in the atmosphere/skies.

2004: First reports of an anomalous disease dubbed “Morgellons disease,” begin to surface. It is named “Morgellons” because its reported symptoms of fibers protruding from the skin are supposedly similar to symptoms reported in the 1600’s by a French physician named Morgellon. No one seems able to accurately diagnose what causes this mystery disease.

2004-2006: the U.S. Center for Disease Control says that patients reporting these symptoms are most likely suffering from “delusional parasitosis,” and recommends people suffering with Morgellons to be referred to an psychiatrist for mental evaluation. CDC maintains this posture for four years in the face of mounting criticism and contrary evidence.

2005: The Weather Modification Research and Technology Act further legitimizes and expands rationale for aerial spray operation above the U.S. mainland. Thus, the Act includes regulatory statutes for vector control and mass aerial immunizations in addition to weather modification dispersion of specific chemical “chad materials.”

2006: Samples of fibers and other materials are removed and collected from 24 particpants, located in various global locations. All 24 participants are reported to have anomalous Morgellons-like symptoms. The samples were sent to Dr. Hildegarde Staninger (Integrative Health Systems, LLC), and analyzed by four (4) independent laboratories.

Initial findings determine that the fibers are silicone based with a two part polyester resin of acryolin and methylmethacrylates. The findings also reveal no biological substances are present. Subsequent findings from these and additional samples taken from individuals within a wide geographical area of distribution all indicate the presence of advanced nano materials (extremely small manufactured materials). The nano materials are found to contain elements of patented weapons-grade nano materials. These weapons grade nano technologies are found in fibers removed from lesions in humans, as well as in fibrous “cotton candy” like material collected on the ground and observed floating down through the sky after aerial spraying operation in Texas, USA.

2006-2008: Center for Disease Control continues to equate “Morgellons disease: with delusional parasitosis, and continues to recommend treatment by a psychiatrist.

2007: Allegations – not confirmed – of a new federal policy allowing vaccine makers immunity from prosecution for damages from aerial spray operations conducting vaccine research on American public without permission (under guise of pathogen/biological countermeasures Homeland Security program).

2007: “Under these (federal) acts and the current testing for pathogen countermeasures, the general public may be exposed to these countermeasures without permission for USDA Vector Control, Domestic Preparedness, and Weapons of Mass Destruction countermeasures.” (Dr. Hildegarde Staninger)


2008: Argonne Labs Midwest Center for Structural Genomics describes a protein structure they nickname “dragon protein” for its resemblance to a dragon’s head (molecular branding). A similar shape to this “dragon’s head” is revealed in the micrographs of fibers removed form lesions in patients with Morgellon’s symptoms (Dr. Hildegarde Staninger’s, private photomicrograph collection 2006 to present).


2008: The CDC changes its policy about Morgellons syndrome. It stops defining this syndrome as a sign of likely “delusional parasitosis,” and defines it as a condition of unknown origin, possibly associated with Lyme’s disease. CDC announces it is forming a working study group for Morgellons, not due to report to the public until end of 2010 or longer.


January 2009: (Science Daily) nanoscale Origami from DNA. Harvard University scientist reports “We can now build a diversity of nanoscale machine parts. Functional devices should be possible.”


(Actually, somebody already has built a diversity of nanoscale machine parts. Eight years earlier in ADVANCED MATERIALS, 2000, 12 No. 24. December 15, “Silica Nanotubes and Nanofiber Array,” Dr. Wang describes various silicon based nano tubes that are used in nanotechnology. These are very, very small machines, to small to be seen with the naked eye, which can self assemble into larger machines. Currently these machines are being utilized in SencilTM technology by USC and licensed to Hewlett Packard and other companies. Note the shapes of Nano – Claw, Chinese Lantern, and tongued silicon tubes. These shapes are significant for all Chicken Little students because the same or similar shapes have been observed in micro photographs of materials removed form humans with anomalous Morgellons-like conditions.


January 2009 – present: Obama Administration continues aforementioned policies of previous administrations. The consciousness that deploys aerial spraying operations against the American population does not seem to be much affected by the change in administration.

March 2009: Dave Larson, former CIA biomedical technology program contractor, alleges that implantable biomedical devices have been deployed domestically for surveillance and torture under secret program reinstated by George H.W. Bush in 1988 and running unchecked and unreported to Congress through March 2009. Also alleges that government polices on the ‘war on terror” and detention were crafted specifically to avoid criminal prosecution for illegal use of these technologies against Americans.


June 2009: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) develops a text on the Guidelines for Advanced Nano Materials Exposure and Toxicology. It states that the document and toxicological risk assessments on advanced nano materials will be completed in 2013.

June 2009: (6/11/2009) director-General Dr. Margaret Chan of the World Health Organization made the declaration of a Phase 6 “Pandemic emergency” regarding the spread of H1N1 Influenza.

June 2009: Studies by College of Environmental Science and engineering, Ocean University, Qingdao, China show that manufactured nanoparticles can be toxic via interaction with proteins and enzymes, demonstrating these nanoparticles may have neurotoxicity. These results confirm the findings of Dr. Hildegarde Staninger in USA:

Wang, Z., Shao, J., Li, Fl, Gao, D., and B. Xing. “Absorption and Inhalation of Acetylcholinesterse by Different Nanoparticles.” College of Environmental Science and engineering. Ocean University of China. Qingdao, China. Chemical Sensitivity Network.

© June 19, 2009. Recent studies conducted by the College of Environmental Sciences and engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China (Z. Wang, et. al.) have shown that manufactured nanoparticles can be toxic via interactions with proteins and enzymes.

Acetylcholinestease (AchE) is a key enzyme present in the blood, brain, and nervous system. Zang et al report significant results of absorption and inhibition of AChE by specific nanoparticle, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and single-walled carbon nanotubes, showing that these nanoparticles may have neurotoxicity.


July 2009: CIA Director Panetta briefs Congress about a secret CIA program never disclosed regarding surveillance and torture, running allegedly “from 2001 until the present.” Congressional investigation may or may not be forthcoming.

September 2009: Reuters reported Verichip was given two exclusive patents for biosensors that detect viruses. They will be used as implantable virus detection systems in humans, and will combine with Verichips implantable human radio frequency device to track humans. The scope of this effort is made clear by the University of California – Industry Homeland Security Network notice 9/3/2009 about biological countermeasures, available at http://www.ucdiscoverygrang.org/homelandsecurity/hsmissionAreas/Biological.htm which says that smart dust sensors for removal of surveillance and detection of a variety of chemical and biological agents are the focus of programs at a variety of American institutions.

“WHAT EXACTLY IS SMART DUST?”

“SMART DUST” is a generic name for systems that combine nanotechnology, biotechnology, and advanced communications systems (microelectomechanical sensors, or MEMS) for a variety of purposes. The online dictionary Wikipedia as of 2009 defines “smart dust” as “hypothetical” (it’s just an idea, we don’t have it yet).

And yet, on its website, the company DUST NETWORKS writes: Dust Networks, the leader in standards-based intelligent wireless sensor networking (WSN), provides ultra low-power, highly reliable embedded systems to the world’s leading sensor manufacturers – market visionaries who recognize that “smart dust” embedded inside their sensors is the star of a paradigm shift in their market.

The independent documentary film maker TANKER ENEMY has made a number of short You- Tube videos describing smart dust and showing its deployment over populated areas, including

“Smart Dust in the Drinking Water, “ http://ww.youtube.com/v/ouQCSZ8MY2s&hl=it_IT&fs=1&ap=%252fmt%3D18%22%3E%C/ param%3Cparam

“Smart Dust is Already in Our Environment,” http://tankerenemy.blogspot.com/2009/11/exposure-to-aerial-emissions-of-nano.html and ‘hildegarde staninger interview, parts one, two, and three (Out There TV) http://www.youtube.com/watc?v=JchfWlqbVxw&featrue-=related

If that isn’t sufficiently convincing as to the reality of smart dust in our current and future lives, you can also check out Major Scott Dickson, U.S. Air Force, in his April 2007 Blue Horizon Paper a the Center for Strategy and Technology, Air War College: ENABELING BATTLESPACE PERSISTENT SURVEILLANCE: THE FORM, FUNCTION, AND FUTURE OF SMART DUST.

http://au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/est/bh_dickson.pdf

“SMART DUST” is way past the “hypothetical” stage. It is increasingly a hidden facet of modern life.


September 2009: Dr. Staninger, in presentation to the National Registry of Environmental Professionals of her findings regarding advanced nano materials and their observations in humans, warn: “Mankind is at the initiation point of determining the toxicological mechanisms from exposure to advanced nano microbic materials.”

October 2009: History Channel presents a documentary entitled “Weather Weapons.” The documentary describes chemtrails and aerial spraying operations since World War II.

December 2009: Morgellons Research Foundation, main steam information clearinghouse; for Morgellons patients, lists more than fifteen thousand humans reporting Morgellons symptoms in its database. In an online radio interview (2006), Dr. Hildegarde Staninger reported an estimate of 60,000 symptom bearers in the USA, 100,000 world wide. Databases in Italy have estimated their population to have 5 per day new case, thus 1,825 new cases per year since 2006.

December 2009: MEGA CORRUPTION SCANDAL AT THE WHO.

In the past decade the WHO, in order to boost funds at its disposal entered into what it calls “public private partnerships.” Instead of receiving its funds solely from member United Nations governments as its original purpose had been, WHO today receives almost double its normal UN budget in the form of grants and financial support form private industry. The industry? The very drug and vaccine makers who benefit from decisions like the June 2009 H1N1 Pandemic emergency declaration.

December 2009: Preparation for the Winter Solstice 2009, Return of the Light:

Early efforts underway to develop countermeasures hold real promise. It may really become possible to deactivate and/or mitigate this new modern assault upon our freedom to evolve our bioelectric and genetic capacities without the presence of un-invited parasitic-like machines in our bodies. Ultra-modern and ancient natural healing methods are being applied in far scattered corners of the earth, as we the people begin to realize this is actually happening NOW in many parts of the planet. Our bodies are reacting to it, and it is beginning to look like we may all live downstream of this “stuff” already.

None of these space age technologies that are the new whiz-bang toys of aerial spray operations are essentially evil. They each have wonderful life-enhancing applications for which they could be used. It is only a matter of true intent and counter intent. We just need them to be programmed and regulated by a consciousness that values LIFE, that’s ALL.

May the Return of the Light – bring purification to even the darkest corners of human consciousness.

May we of the nations, tribes, and families find leaders who don’t want to remain silent and profess ignorance when the people are sprayed without permission; may we the people find the courage to defend our future generations, even if at a cost of one family at a time against this war upon the most beautiful creation in all the galaxies – LIFE.

"Lipid Vesicle-Based Molecular Robots" - Article Confirms What We Are Seeing In The COVID19 Vials And In Human Blood
Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

I had several meetings with biologist Dr. Ruth Espuny and her research team in the past days and she alerted me to this article that very well explains the lipid vesicles that I call construction sites. Here I am posting relevant sections of the article and sharing confirmatory images from my own and others research.

Lipid vesicle-based molecular robots

A molecular robot, which is a system comprised of one or more molecular machines and computers, can execute sophisticated tasks in many fields that span from nanomedicine to green nanotechnology. The core parts of molecular robots are fairly consistent from system to system and always include (i) a body to encapsulate molecular machines, (ii) sensors to capture signals, (iii) computers to make decisions, and (iv) actuators to perform tasks. This review aims to provide an overview of approaches and considerations to develop molecular robots. We first introduce the basic technologies required for constructing the core parts of molecular robots, describe the recent progress towards achieving higher functionality, and subsequently discuss the current challenges and outlook. We also highlight the applications of molecular robots in sensing biomarkers, signal communications with living cells, and conversion of energy. Although molecular robots are still in their infancy, they will unquestionably initiate massive change in biomedical and environmental technology in the not too distant future.

This historical perspective answers a question I am often asked regarding to how this self assembly nanotechnology could be so far advanced. As you can read here, its because the scientists have been working on it for the last 40 years.

During the past 40 years, this revolution has led to a new generation of machines with smaller sizes, pushing the boundaries of applications. In the field of organic chemistry, a breakthrough molecular catenane with two interlocked rings was reported by Jean-Pierre Sauvage in the early 1980s,1 subsequently inspiring other scientists to develop molecular-scale machines with complicated functions such as rotaxanes,2 motors,3 and nanocars.4 In 2016, three pioneers of molecular machines were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, reflecting the recognition of the broad impact of molecular machines.

Here they explain that these robots mimick the processes of nature.

The concept of molecular machines has motivated research activity in a novel field called “molecular robots”.5 According to the Cambridge dictionary, a robot is “a machine controlled by a computer that is used to perform jobs automatically”. By this definition, a molecular robot is a system composed of molecular-scale machines and computers that are used to execute tasks automatically. A living cell could be considered as one such miraculous robot produced by nature. With DNA serving as computers to provide solutions and proteins working as machines to perform specific functions, a living cell performs sophisticated tasks independent of human control. Taking inspiration from living cells, the ultimate goal of the field of molecular robots is to artificially construct an automated system capable of solving problems at the molecular level using molecular machines and computers

The vesicular membrane was initially hydrogel, then lipids were used.

A molecular robot always includes some or all of the following: a body, sensors, computers, and actuators (Fig. 1). Pioneers in the field have applied hydrogels as the body of molecular robots,5 however, the lack of a barrier between the embeddings and environment can lead to undesired leakage. Lipid vesicles, which are comprised of lipid membranes separating an inner lumen from the outer solution, provides an alternative that could fully meet this problem. The size of the lipid vesicles can be tailored from nano- to micro-meter in diameter. For molecular robots, the micro-sized vesicles, so-called giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), are more desirable due to the demand for sufficient internal volume to house the sensors, computers, and actuators.8,9 Molecular robots require sensors in order to detect signals in the environment. This can be accomplished by ion channels or nanopores, which punch holes in lipid membranes.

You can see these nanopores in the above images. For those who claim we cannot see to the nanoscale, let me remind you that this technology self assembles and that we can see the microscale very well. The large comes from the small and I have shown how self repication of these spherical robots work in emblamed blood, please recall this microscopy: ( I showed the videos in this interview

Same Self Replicating Nanotechnology Spheres Seen In C19 Unvaccinated Living Blood As In Deceased Embalmed C19 Vaccinated Blood With Rubbery Clots - What Will Humanity Do About This?

You can see the video footage in this interview on SGT report:

Nanopores can act as a signal filter, selectively transporting molecular signals based on their size or charge. Once the signals are transported, they can be processed and translated by molecular computing machinery. DNA computing, pioneered by L. Adleman in 1994, has evolved in recent decades into computers applicable in molecular robots, with the benefit of their capability to perform multiple parallel computations. An alternative choice for the computing machinery is cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), enabling the output of proteins in vitro in response to the input of DNA. Actuators for molecular robots, which include DNA nanostructures, peptides, and proteins, convert signals to achieve physical movements like deformation or propulsion.

The mechanism of propulsion and engines are explained.

Although constant progress has been made on the underlying technology, studies into prototyping molecular robots do not have a long history. In 2014, Nishimura et al. incorporated CFPS into GUVs, and then, in the presence of amino acids, GFP synthesis was performed as an output. In 2017, Sato et al. developed GUVs equipped with actuators containing DNA clutches and microtubule motors. Once light irradiation was applied, the clutch was engaged and the shape of GUVs underwent sequential changes. These pioneering studies provide a clear path towards molecular robots with increasingly complex functions.

It should be noted that molecular robots sometimes share related technologies with the field of artificial cells. The goal of constructing artificial cells is to mimic the function of living cells, while molecular robots place great value on developing engineering applications that could help humans to perform tasks in micro or nano dimensions. There is therefore a drive to engineer molecular robots with functions exceeding those of living cells

Further building blocks are explained. Note that lipid membranes, polymers, hydrogels and organic material like DNA are used. Is this why DNA was found in the vials combined with nanotechnology building blocks?

Molecular robots typically require encapsulation within a compartment, which acts as a boundary, separating the interior from the exterior environment. Various types of compartments have been employed to date, including lipid membranes, hydrogels, block co-polymers, DNA droplets, and coacervates, each offering distinct advantages and limitations. Some researchers have explored the formation of hybrid chassis by combining different compartment types, leveraging the advantages associated with each constituent part. For instance, coacervate or DNA/hydrogel systems interfaced with lipid membranes can be combined to enhance functionality.

Among these compartment types, lipid vesicles are the most commonly used for several reasons. Firstly, they are biomimetic, closely resembling biological membranes from a chemical and morphological perspective. This characteristic enables facile incorporation of membrane-bound molecular machinery, including membrane proteins, nanopores, and receptors, thereby imparting specific functionalities into the membranes. For example, the controlled flux of cargo molecules in response to stimuli, which can be used to mediate responses in living cells.

Please note that these vesicles can self assemble or disassmeble into tissue like structures - depending on external stimuli. This is consistent with what we have observed in COVID19 vials regarding the self assembly nanotechnology and in the blood. Please recall Dr David Nixons excellent videos on assembly and disassembly of microchips - you can see the process discussed here by Dr. Nixon, Dr. Shimon Yanowitz, Engineer Matt Taylor and myself. Nanobots, Construction process of Microchips in C19 injectables, new insights on Shedding

Furthermore, lipid vesicles are chemically inert and highly efficient at compartmentalizing large charged molecules from the surrounding environment, creating a chemically distinct internal environment. This feature enables researchers to exploit the diversity of lipid building blocks, both synthetic and biological, to create functional membranes with diverse behaviors. Examples include membranes capable of self-assembling into tissue-like structures, membranes that can disassemble and reassemble in response to physicochemical cues to reshuffle material between them, and membranes that release cargo triggered by light, temperature fluctuations, magnetic fields, or biomarkers. Such versatility opens up exciting possibilities for molecular robotics and targeted drug delivery systems, among other applications.

Vesicles can be classified primarily based on their size and lamellarity. GUVs have a diameter of approximately 2 μm and above (making them cell-sized vesicles), comprising a single lipid membrane (as opposed to multi-layered onion-like structures known as multilamellar vesicles). Other types of vesicles include small and large unilamellar vesicles, which fall into the sub-micron size range, as well as multi-vesicular vesicles (multisomes). Additionally, there have been intriguing examples of hybrid structures, where vesicles of different types are assembled into more architecturally complex arrangements, such as nested or layered geometries. A schematic of the different architectures it is now possible to generate microfluidic techniques and principles in biomembrane engineering is shown in Fig 2

Sensors of molecular robots

In living cells, membrane receptors, transporters, and ion channels work as sensors to help cells respond to chemical and physical stimuli. Such functionalities have also been exploited to implement sensing capabilities in molecular robots. In particular, nanopores forming stable nanoscale openings across lipid membranes have been shown to mediate transport of large molecules, enabling their detection by the molecular robots.7 The opening and closing of nanopores (gating) can be regulated by environmental stimuli (e.g., pH, light, temperature, osmotic pressure), further enhancing the sensing capabilities of the molecular robots. Various materials have been utilized to assemble nanopores including proteins,60 peptides,61 DNA,11 and synthetic materials.62 In the current section, we will mainly focus on the characteristics, differences, and recent progress of nanopore assembly using different building materials, and we will also describe some unique approaches that introduce membrane receptors to GUVs.

Many different transport channels that allow the throughput of information exist within these vesicles, and light is one of the triggers. This implies that the molecular robotic computer is information gathering and processing when we see the light emission.


Responsivity to external stimuli is another essential function for synthetic channels and would provide the ability for remote-control in molecular robots. Light is one of the most widely used stimuli due to having high biocompatibility and ease of spatio-temporal control. So far, light-responsive synthetic channels which are irreversibly and reversibly photo-controlled have been developed, and recent studies focus predominantly on reversible photo-control.

I have been discussing how the self assembly process of the technology is guided by light emitting microrobots/ Quantum Dot like structures. Here you can see many different colored light emissions.

Computers of molecular robots

Molecular robots go hand-in-hand with biological computers, where biological computers take available inputs and translate them into appropriate outputs. Thanks to advances in synthetic chemistry and biology, biologically derived molecules such as DNA and proteins have become readily available, leading to the development of biological computers such as DNA computing systems and CFPS

Here it explains that this is an actual computer that is swimming in our bodies - that can compute calculations at remarkable speeds.

DNA computing

Due to the remarkable programmability of DNA molecular behavior based on sequence-dependent hybridization, enzymatic reactions, and strand displacement reactions, DNA computing has emerged as a promising candidate for the computational machinery of molecular robots. The genesis of DNA computing can be traced back to Adleman's pioneering work: massively parallel computation using artificially sequence-designed DNA. He encoded the nodes and paths in the Hamiltonian path problem onto different ssDNA to execute hybridization-based parallel exploration of the correct Hamiltonian path. By exploiting DNA self-assembly, this methodology allowed large-scale computations to be performed with low energy consumption. Besides the subsequent implementation of mathematical computations (satisfiability problem, maximal clique problem,etc.), Benenson et al. constructed DNA-based finite automata with two states using programmed DNA sticky/blunt ends, restriction nuclease, and ligase (Fig. 8(a)). The two states in the automata run at a rate of 109 transitions per second in an input-responsive manner, being the prototype of the smallest biocomputer as certified by Guinness World Records. Originating from the above single-information processing systems, the development of DNA computing has recently steered towards multiplex information processing.


DNA nanotechnology

DNA nanotechnology enables exquisite control over the structure of self-assembled macromolecular and nanoscale motifs. DNA nanodevices are however far from static and have been engineered to reconfigure, change shape, and move in response to a wide array of stimuli. From the ground-breaking examples of DNA tweezers and walkers, to the origami crank-sliders and joints demonstrated by the Castro group, to the bioinspired rotors built by the Dietz and Simmel groups, DNA nanomachines and nano-actuators have demonstrated an unparalleled ability to control different types of motion at the nanoscale. Furthermore, these nanodevices can be actuated through a variety of different stimuli, from strand displacement to the species and concentration of cations, to changes in pH, light exposure, and enzymatic action.

As discussed in the section on DNA nanopores, DNA nanostructures can be mechanically coupled to lipid membranes using lipophilic anchors, typically cholesterol or tocopherol. This coupling unlocks vast opportunities to engineer both the morphology and dynamic responses of GUV-based microrobots and artificial cells through membrane-anchored DNA devices that imitate the functions of membrane proteins.

Membrane adhesion is among the most basic functions mediated by cell-surface receptors, underpinning a plethora of biological processes, including motility, tissue formation, mechanosensing, and endocytosis. Exploiting the selectivity of base-pairing interactions, synthetic, membrane-anchored DNA linkers have been used to induce and program adhesion between lipid membranes (Fig. 10(a)), starting with the seminal works of Höök and coworkers, Boxer and coworkers and Beales and Vanderlick (Fig. 10(b)). Parolini et al. have then demonstrated the DNA-mediated assembly of thermoresponsive synthetic tissues and, leveraging toehold-exchange reactions, established control over the kinetics of tissue formation.


Summary:

It seems to be true what I have been saying all along, that the brain computer interface or synthetic biological fusion of mankind with machines has already occured involuntarily with this self spreading self assembling nanotechnology. Many other scientists around the world have found exactly the same thing as I have shown in the blood and in the vials. If the COVID19 bioweapon was deployed worldwide and scientists around the world confirm each others findings of this technology - it seems to be wise to pay attention and investigate further.

Certainly there is plenty of overlap between what we are seeing and what the scientific literature describes. These “construction zones” as I call them, appear to be fully functional biocomputerized robots capable of self assembly, sensing, computation, tissue engineering, information processing and propulsion.

Declassified CIA/US ARMY Intelligence Analysis -Assessment Of Gateway Process - The Potential Of Human Consciousness And Mandatory Training Of Intelligence Officers - Was This Knowledge Weaponized?
Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

I was sent this declassified document of the US Army Intelligence and Security Command. You can find this document at the CIA reading library.

2.44MB ∙ PDF file

In this document from 1983, which was declassified in 2003, you can find what ARMY intelligence knows about human consciousness. The reason this is so important, is because this very knowledge is used for the transhumanist warfare. Our transcendental nature is known to those who developed these clandestine self assembly nanotechnology weapons. This document, written by Commander Wayne M. McDonnell, discusses the fundamental divine spiritual nature of humans. It is 26 pages long, and explains the training USAINSCOM Intelligence officers in remote viewing, out of body experiences, traveling to the past and future, Consciousness and energy, downloading information from the omnipotent, omnipresent mind - including mathematical equations and technical solutions. He also discusses the fact that our mind can heal any disease, including cancer and how the changes in brain function allow a human being to achieve this. Now to those who say this is demonic or satanic, hold on. All knowledge can be weaponized, but the quantum physics nature of our consciousness and beingness is mathematical and scientific. Just not a science you were told about, so read my book “Light Medicine - A New Paradigm - The Science of Light Spirit and Longevity” and you will learn about it.

The United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) is a direct reporting unit that conducts intelligence, security, and information operations for United States Army commanders, partners in the Intelligence Community, and national decision-makers. INSCOM is headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

INSCOM contributes units to the National Security Agency, the United States's unified signals intelligence (SIGINT) organization. Within the NSA, INSCOM and its counterparts in the Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps comprise the Central Security Service. INSCOM's budget has been estimated to be approximately $6 billion

Why am I so happy to have found this declassified information? Because I am a student at Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment (RSE), the only academy of the mind of its kind in the world. My teacher is Ramtha the Enlightenend One, an ascended Master. Studies of the great American Channel JZ Knight showed not only that the body physiology completely changes to impossible values like a sustained heart rate of 180 beats per minute for more than 12 hours - something that would put a normal human into cardiac arrest - and the brain waves recorded as deep delta, which is deep sleep, but also a measurable change IN THE EARTHS MAGNETIC FIELD when Ramtha entered JZ’s body. Additionally, DNA testing shows that the chromosomes change from a female XX to a male XY. I am the personal physician for the great American Channel and have documented all of these historic medical records and testing in my book “Light Medicine - A New Paradigm - The Science of Light, Spirit and Longevity. “. I once wrote on my substack that anyone attacking me would need to have “balls as big as space” to go up against that which is protecting me. You figure out for yourself what kind of a consciousness can alter the earths magnetic field.

I was trained at the ultimate school of Consciousness and Energy in all of the disciplines described here in this Army Intelligence document - exactly the same and more. They have a section called “Consciousness and Energy”.

I have seen the demonic beings who control this self assembly nanotechnology from another dimension in my near death experience in 2021, and have seen the the mathematical mechanism in an out of body experience in 2012. In 2021 I found what I had seen then in the book “Nanobrain - The making of an artificial brain from a Time Crystal” - that described how to create a brain from hydrogel and Graphene and how the processing of consciousness would work if such substances would be injected into the human. Microtubules in charge of processing our consciousness in our brain have the same size as carbon nanotubes - and they would create a parallel processing platform that can be accessed by AI for mind control.

Using my disciplines, I have downloaded every day the information to advance my research when most of the world was ridiculing or ignoring what I found.

People have accused me of learning from a demon and being myself one. No, I am just like the US Army intelligence officers trained through Gateway aware of our divine human nature, our ability to create reality through focused thought. The ARMY knows that human beings are divine, how our brain works, that our reality is entirely holographic, that a focused mind can create a laser beam of light focused energy with more power than the sun, that focusing on the color blue can heal any disease, that our mind can see the past and the future. This is the knowledge that they have hijacked and ridiculed anyone who would speak about human divine potential, hence the blacklisting and defamation of RSE, the school I have attended for 18 years. I am part of Ramtha’s Army - and we are Warriors of the Mind.

This is the knowledge that has been kept from people. This is why every one of you are so valuable. They know that your brain can process frequencies of immense unlimited consciousness. The document states how in out of body experiences one can encounter lower frequency beings, like the ones who control our matrix and are the Alien inter dimensional species that the US government has sold us to for experimentation. You may have a religious tizzy fit over what I am saying, but why don’t you hold on with your critique until you read this document.

This divine power is in human beings and the awakening to this truth will end the war. The electromagnetic brain block installed through the self assembly nanotechnology and the 5G, HAARP and pulsed ELF/ radar frequency is keeping you from accessing infinite knowledge and information that your brain can naturally receive. We do not need to fuse with Artificial Intelligence, for AI will never be as intelligent as the infinite unknown universal GOD mind, which is not a capricious entity that people need to fear, requiring human sacrifice and constant war, but the platform of all life, here and in infinite dimensions.

I recommend you read this document in its entirety. It explains how our brain works, our human energy field, the physics of the hyper dimensional space that can be accessed in mind with training. Ramtha did not have us use Hemisync or other modalities. The first day in school I was paired with a stranger and was told to read their mind - and I did. I was asked to remote view what would be placed in a box 5 days from now - and I did. I was taught how to create my day and manifest the unknown. I was taught how to shoot blindfolded archery and hit a target 156 feet away through mind focus - and I eventually did. I was taught how to heal myself - and I did, from ovarian cancer. I was taught that my spirit is immortal and that there is nothing to fear. You judge from my life if I have learned that lesson. I am not afraid of anything.

This potential lies IN EVERY HUMAN BEING. There are no special people, no chosen race. We are all divine spiritual beings incarnated in a body and our potential is infinite. Does not matter if you are male, female, anything in between, black, white, yellow, red, any culture or creed. You have a soul and a spirit, everything else is just window dressing - a vehicle that is needed to experience physical reality.

This is what Jeshua Ben Joseph taught - “You are all Gods” (John10:34); “You will do all the things I did and greater than these will you do” (John 14:12) - but this message was hijacked by the church, who murdered and tortured more people throughout history than world wars. The God of the bible, who sends plagues, murders babies by smashing their head on rocks, kills all the first born sons - is the same God the Satanists worship. Biological warfare and weapons of mass destruction has been deployed for thousands of years on this plane by advanced beings - “the Gods” - or Annunaki who came in flaming chariot craft. The methods of then and now have not changed. What would make a land vomit out its inhabitants? A nuclear bomb? And aerosolized plaque by an advanced civilization sounds just like geoengineering with biological warfare today. And murdering every man, woman and child of a land that was flowing with milk and honey, sounds just like the elites who worship satanic beings wanting to depopulate the earth. This jealous, violent, murderous and psychopathic God who advocates for human cannibalism is who the Satanists serve. Why do you think the Vatican will be the seat of the One World Order Religion? With “Lucifer” at their helm. They do not hide the serpent ( or reptilian God) they serve:


Here is a few examples of this character, that for certain is not the benevolent God Jesus speaks of:

Exodus 12:12: For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 14:33 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

Leviticus 18:25 For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has vomited out its inhabitants.

Deut 32:39-42 “I put to death…I have wounded, I will render vengeance to my adversaries and repay those who hate me. I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh”

Psalm 137:9 “Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us - he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.”

Leviticus 26:27-29 “ If in spite of all this you still do not listen to me I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. You shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.“

Judges 21:11-12 “This is what you are to do,” they said. “Kill every male and every woman who is not a virgin.”

For more information on these atrocities read “Saving Jesus” by Dr. Miceal Ledwith - former advisor to the pope. He left the church to study at RSE. Brilliant Man!

This is not the divine principle that the US ARMY knows of - and they describe in this document that lower frequency entities can be accessed in out of body experiences but also extraordinary high frequency beings not of this terrestrial plane.

Here is the introductory letter:

2. I began the narrative by briefly profiling the fundamental, biomedical factors affecting such related techniques as hypnosis, biofeedback and transcendental meditation so that their objectives and mode of functioning could be compared in the reader's mind with the Gateway experience as the model of its underlying mechanics was developed. Additionally, that introductory material is useful in supporting the conclusions of the paper. I indicate that at times these related techniques may provide useful entry points to accelerate movement into the Gateway Experience.

3. Niels Bohr, the renowned physicist once responded to his son's complaints about the obtuse nature of certain concepts in physics by saying: "You are not thinking, you are merely being logical." The physics of altered human consciousness deals with some conceptualizations that are not easily grasped or visualized exclusively in the context of ordinary "left brain" linear thinking. So, to borrow Dr. Bohr's mode of expression, parts of this paper will require not only logic but a touch of

right brain intuitive insight to achieve a complete comfortable grasp of the concepts involved. Nevertheless, once that is done, I am confident that their construction and application will stand up to the test of rational critique.

4. Paradoxically, having gone to such great lengths to avoid trying to render judgements based on an occult or dogmatic frame of reference in the end I found it necessary to return, at least briefly, to the question of the impact of the Gateway Experience on common belief systems. I did so because although it was essential to avoid attempting to render an assessment in the context of such systems, I felt that it was necessary after having completed the analysis to point out that the resulting conclusions do not do any violence to the fundamental mainstream of either eastern or western belief systems. Unless that point is clearly established, the danger exists that some people will reject the whole concept of the Gateway Experience in the mistaken belief that it contradicts and is therefore alien to all that they hold to be right and true.

5. This study is certainly not designed to be the last word on the subject but I hope that the validity of its basic structure and of the fundamental concepts upon which it is based will make it a useful guide for other USAINSCOM personnel who are required to take the Gateway training or work with Gateway materials.

Substack only allows so much text, but here are some revelatory quotes. Remember that Clifford Carnicom and I found that the blood of the COVID19 vaccinated has extreme sensitivity to 4HZ. Prospective Difference Between C19 Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Blood: Electromagnetic Observations, ELF Response And Potassium Metabolism - Ana Mihalcea, MD, PhD and Clifford Carnicom

The Army knows that Kundalini experiences can be triggered at 4 HZ - but if you interfere with that frequency you can also prevent spiritual connection to one’s own spiritual self, something we are seeing now in the injected. If people are not spiritually trained, a spontaneous Kundalini experience can lead to insanity and psychosis. Have you noticed lately how many people with the COVID shots have new onset psychotic episodes? Remember, you can weaponize this knowledge. Coincidence?

New-onset psychosis following COVID-19 vaccination: a systematic review

A total of 21 articles described 24 cases of new-onset psychotic symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination. Of these cases, 54.2% were female, with a mean age of 33.71 ± 12.02 years. Psychiatric events were potentially induced by the mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine in 33.3% of cases, and psychotic symptoms appeared in 25% following the viral vector ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. The mean onset time was 5.75 ± 8.14 days, mostly reported after the first or second dose. The duration of psychotic symptoms ranged between 1 and 2 months with a mean of 52.48 ± 60.07 days.

Here is what is written about 4 Hz in the ARMY document:

As a result, according to Bentov, these waves "will stimulate and eventually 'polarize' the cortex in such a way that it will tend to conduct a signal along the homunculus, starting from the toes and on up." The Bentov bio-medical model, as described in a book by Lee Sannella, M.D., entitled: Kundalini-Psychosis or Transcendence, states that the standing acoustical waves are the result of the altered rhythm of heart sounds which are occasioned by prolonged practice of meditation, and which set up sympathetic vibrations in the walls of the fluid filled cavities which comprise the third and lateral ventricles of the brain. In addition, according to Bentov: "The states of bliss described by those whose Kundalini symptoms have completed the full loop along the hemispheres may be explained as a self-stimulation of the pleasure centers in the brain caused by the circulation of a 'current' along the sensory cortex." Bentov also notes, "that most of the described symptoms start on the left side of the body means that it is mostly a development occurring in the right hemisphere." Although normally a period of meditation involving intense concentration and practice for five years or some is required to "bring up the Kundalini," Bentov states that exposure to mechanical or acoustical vibrations in the range of 4-7 Hertz(cycles per second) for protracted periods may achieve the same effect. Bentov cites as an example "repeated riding in a car whose suspension and seat combination produce that range of vibrations,_or being exposed for long periods of time to these frequencies caused, for instance, by an air Qonditioning duct." He also notes that: "The cumulative effect of these vibrations may be able to trigger a spontaneous physio-Kundalini sequence in susceptable people who have a particularly sensitive nervous system."

They absolutely know that we resonate with our planet and our innate knowing and telepathic abilities resonate with the earths ionosphere. This is one other reason why geoengineering and ionospheric manipulation is happening for mind control purposes of this prison planet. It interferes with this natural mechanism.















I will stop here. I have been waiting for such a reveal. People are pushing for Armageddon because of a severely edited text that most people have never read. If they did, they would see the parallels of those who rule the world and their handlers and the warfare that has been waged for thousands of years.

“The great Awakening”, a term coined by Ramtha in the 1980’s in the “White Book”, means an awakening of humans from the enslavement of advanced civilizations that have ruled this earth for millennia - and make no mistake, had their hand in developing this bioweapon to sever the connection of the soul and spirit. I look forward to the declassification of those documents in the future.

This knowledge is how I was able to explain how this technology works in 2022, you can watch this interview with Maria Zeee.

And before you point the finger at me saying that I am being taught by a demon, read your bible… who are you worshiping? And how is your worship of that entity supposedly being “the God” empower the destruction of humanity?

What if the second coming of Christ is an awakening of our spiritual nature? Do we still need a biblical Armageddon if that story was plagiarized from other Sumerian civilizations? And does it not intrigue you that the US Army Intelligence knows of the spiritual nature of the Universe and our divine self, just explains it in more scientific terms? What do you call someone who can travel in time, access infinite knowledge and heal any disease? Isn’t that what Jesus did? Don’t you find it interesting that this was a required training for some CIA and Army Intelligence Officers?

I would say this document is a BOMBSHELL reveal.

I do not serve the ancient Gods, therefore I cannot be destroyed.
