Assassination of Haniyeh an intentional, dangerous escalation – Parsi, Macgregor [email protected] July 31, 2024 An Iranian man holds a picture of Palestinian group Hamas' top leader Ismail Haniyeh, during a gathering following Haniyeh's killing, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, in Tehran, Iran July 31, 2024. (ABEDIN TAHERKENAREH/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock) Haniyeh lived in Qatar… Israel’s choice to specifically kill him in Iran had several results: ended efforts to improve U.S.- Iran relations, closed the window for addressing Iran’s nuclear program, impeded chances of a ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza, and escalated danger of a wider regional war – that would involve Americans in another disastrous conflict… by Alison Weir Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’ political wing, was assassinated on Wednesday in Tehran, where Haniyeh was present for the inauguration of the new Iranian president, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian. Pezeshkian is known as a moderate who has sought dialogue with the U.S., repeatedly stating that he would pursue negotiations with the United States – a position that seemed to be supported by Iran’s Supreme Leader. The New Statesman reports: “Haniyeh has been pushing for months to reach a ceasefire agreement – often clashing with Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas’s military wing, who opposes a ceasefire deal – and US officials had indicated in recent days that a deal was near.” While Israel virtually never admits its assassinations, no one doubts that it perpetrated the murder – especially since Israel had earlier pledged that it would kill Haniyeh. In addition, this is just the latest action in Israel’s decades-long campaign against Iran. The assassination came hours after another Israeli assassination in Beirut, Lebanon had killed Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr, at least five other people, including three women and a young brother and sister (their brother is in critical condition), and wounded 74. In an interview on NPR, Iran expert Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, discussed the dangerous and likely intentional ramifications of Israel’s provocative action: Steve Inskeep: Ismail Haniyeh was killed while attending the inauguration of an Iranian president who wanted to reengage with the United States. What does that mean for this part of the story? Parsi: Well, it likely means that whatever window of opportunity, the election of Pezeshkian provided for both the United States and Iran to reengage diplomatically. And as you may know, the Iranian nuclear program has progressed in a way that is very dangerous and necessitates some sort of a diplomatic round of talks to be able to push it back again. But that window has probably to a large extent, at least in the short and the medium term been closed. And it is noteworthy, of course, that the Israelis knew exactly where Haniyeh was when– mindful of the fact that he lives in Qatar and could have probably done it in Qatar at any moment. They chose specifically to do it while he was in Tehran in order to send a couple of signals. One is potentially the desire to shut down the window of any diplomatic engagement between the U.S. and Iran, but also send a signal that the different groups that Iran is supporting, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iraqi militias and Hamas, that they are not safe anywhere, including in Tehran, and that Tehran cannot protect them. Inskeep: I should note one thing you say the Israelis did this. I know you’re presuming that we do not have confirmation from Israel that it was involved. And our editor, James Hider doubts that Israel would own up publicly to to such an act. But this is the accusation that is that is being made. What is the significance of it for Israel, of what would seem to be a more intense confrontation with Iran? Israel has owned up, of course, to killing Hezbollah leader that is a leader of another Iran linked group. Parsi: If it is Israel that was behind this, then within the span of 12 hours, they have targeted both Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran at the same time. It’s very difficult to see that as something that is not designed to escalate the situation further. We know that from the exchange of fire between Iran and Israel back in April, the Israelis wanted to go much further, but it was the Biden administration that restrained Israel and made sure that it absorbed the blows that Iran gave it in retaliation. The Iranians are likely going to retaliate against this. This is deeply embarrassing for them and it’s going to be very difficult for a lame duck Biden administration to be able to keep a lid on this compared to what they managed to do in April. At the same time, I think we have to recognize, though, that if the Biden administration had pushed and forced a cease fire much, much earlier, much of this would have been avoided. Inskeep: Let’s talk about the cease fire because our correspondent, Daniel Estrin, tells us that Haniyeh, the man who was killed, was essential figure in negotiating or efforts to negotiate a cease fire in Gaza. Is that effort now dead? Parsi: It seems to, at least in the short and medium term, not only dead, but to be deliberately killed. Netanyahu has systematically undermined these negotiations. Israeli media has even reported how he has selectively released intelligence in order to sabotage the talks. But nothing will that sabotage the talks more than killing the guy on the other side of the negotiating table. Other experts have also discussed Israel’s provocative actions against Iran. There have long been indications that Israel is working to get the U.S. to attack Iran on its behalf as it succeeded with Iraq. On April 3, Colonel Douglas Macgregor and Judge Andrew Napolitano laid out the tactics of the Israeli government to embroil the US into its regional war: Israel’s lethal attack on Iran’s embassy complex in Syria was intended to provoke a retaliation from Iran. Colonel Douglas Macgregor is a retired combat veteran who served as a Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense under President Trump. On July 24th, Col. Macgregor pointed out the devastating consequences a U.S. war with Iran would have for Americans: The article has been updated with additional information about the Beirut assassination. Alison Weir is executive director of If Americans Knew, president of the Council for the National Interest, and author of Against Our Better Judgment: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used to Create Israel. She first spent time in Gaza and the West Bank in early 2001 as a freelance journalist. RELATED: On July 31st, Ambassador Chas Freeman (bio below) said of the assassination: “I believe It represents an effort by prime minister Netanyahu which he began nine months ago to entangle the United States in Israel’s wars with the Palestinians and its neighbors.” “This is an indication that Israel, basically, is prepared to commit any crime at all. It feels no constraints.” Freeman also said: “I think there is severe doubt about whether Hezbollah, in fact, was responsible for the rocket that Is alleged to have fallen In the Golan heights. Hezbollah has never attacked Ssyrians, The people there are Syrians under Israeli occupation.” “I suspect, as is all too often the case, that Israel has lied For political convenience.” Ambassador Chas W. Freeman, Jr. is a career diplomat (retired) who was Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs from 1993-94, earning the highest public service awards of the Department of Defense for his roles in designing a NATO-centered post-Cold War European security system and in reestablishing defense and military relations with China. He served as U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm). He was Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the historic U.S. mediation of Namibian independence from South Africa and Cuban troop withdrawal from Angola. Ambassador Freeman worked as Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d’Affaires in the American embassies at both Bangkok (1984-1986) and Beijing (1981-1984). He was Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State from 1979-1981. He was the principal American interpreter during the late President Nixon’s path-breaking visit to China in 1972. In addition to his Middle Eastern, African, East Asian and European diplomatic experience, he had a tour of duty in India. https://israelpalestinenews.org/assassination-of-haniyeh-an-intentional-dangerous-escalation-parsi-macgregor/ https://youtu.be/Z8KRmJgt9HY https://youtu.be/-WXmNuqec1M https://youtu.be/V1exlWPj6fA

People in 110 Countries Were Killed by COVID Vaccines Landmark Study: Worldwide Rise in All Cause Mortality after COVID Shots. IN 110 COUNTRIES, deaths from all causes spiked upward right after COVID shots. Every inhabited continent was hit hard. Dr. Colleen Huber Denis Rancourt, PhD and colleagues Hickey and Linard have just released a 521-page opus on excess all-cause mortality throughout the world, 2020 through 2023. (The reader may be aware that what is termed ”excess mortality” is the difference between observed and expected numbers of deaths in a given country over a year.) The authors examine governments’ reported mortality statistics from 125 countries around the world, which were those with sufficient data to make comparisons. Below, I break down these countries by continent, showing deaths increased sharply in ALL inhabited continents after the COVID vaccine rollouts. Share The researchers’ report may be found here: [1] https://correlation-canada.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-07-19-Correlation-ACM-World-125-countries-Rancourt-Hickey-Linard.pdf Rancourt et al show that COVID vaccine rollouts to billions of people around the world increased all-cause mortality. That is to say that the COVID vaccines may have caused the deaths of individuals in several ways primarily, but if one considers the aggregate increase in all-cause mortality, comparing heavily vaccinated with least vaccinated countries, the mortality was far greater in the heavily vaccinated countries after the vaccine rollout when compared to the least vaccinated countries. Many of these countries had no increase in all-cause mortality whatsoever through the first years of COVID, until right after rollout of the first COVID vaccine dose. This list of those countries is from every major populated continent. Those countries with no increase in all-cause mortality until shortly after the first COVID vaccines include: Bahamas, Cuba, Finland, French Polynesia, Gibraltar, Iceland, Jamaica, Japan, Malaysia, Monaco, Mongolia, Namibia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Norway, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Surinam, Taiwan, Thailand and Uruguay. [2] Countries that had a large excess all-cause mortality peak after the booster rollout of December 2021 to January 2022 included the following: Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Later those same countries had another peak of excess all-cause mortality after the December 2022 to January 2023 rollout of yet another booster, along with Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Macao, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States. [3] Of the 125 countries examined by the authors, “37 countries (30% of countries) have no detectable excess all-cause mortality in 2020” for at least the first nine months of the declared pandemic. Again, this list spans all inhabited continents (only excluding Antarctica). [4] India is a 38th country on this list, but because of its unusual COVID circumstances, is considered separately. Of the 125 countries examined, there are 110 countries that have sufficient vaccination data and mortality data to determine if there exists a temporal association between the two categories. The authors found that in all 110 countries there were significant correlations between COVID-19 vaccine rollouts on the one hand and temporally close peaks or increases in excess all-cause mortality on the other hand. [5] These countries span the entire inhabited world. However, Africa was much less affected than the other inhabited continents, to the extent that I discuss here: Africa Is Starkly Unvaccinated Africa Is Starkly Unvaccinated Africa as a whole is very strikingly unvaccinated, according to Johns Hopkins University, Our World in Data. Read full story For the Rancourt team’s analysis of 110 countries showing mortality and vaccination data, here I break them down alphabetically by continent / region. ALL of the following 110 countries showed spiking and rising deaths shortly following the deployment of the COVID vaccines. Share Africa and the Middle East Egypt Iran Israel Jordan Kuwait Lebanon Mauritius Namibia Oman Palestine Qatar Seychelles South Africa Tunisia United Arab Emirates The Americas and the Caribbean Argentina Aruba Bahamas Barbados Belize Bermuda Bolivia Brazil Canada Chile Colombia Costa Rica Cuba Dominican Republic Ecuador French Guiana Guadalupe Guatemala Jamaica Mexico Nicaragua Paraguay Peru Puerto Rico Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Suriname U.S.A.

The authors cover two additional causes of increased all-cause mortality during the COVID years: One is harmful hospital procedures such as excessive and improper use of ventilators and toxic medications such as remdesivir on the one hand, exacerbating respiratory illness to the point of respiratory failure. The other is a phenomenon that Rancourt has examined more than many other COVID era writers about excess mortality during the COVID years, and that has to do with the psychologically debilitating impact of the defeat of one’s assertions of bodily autonomy under crushing authoritarian vaccine mandates, as a potential cause of depletion of immune system resources to defeat any microbes. Psychologists and sociologists could debate that phenomenon, whether it is significant or not, for a long time to come. Rancourt et al’s thorough data compilations and analysis have shown more than adequate data to defend their thesis that “the public health establishment and its agents fundamentally caused all the excess mortality in the COVID period” . . . . ,“ and that “nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon.” [6] Rancourt’s team seems to be on their strongest footing in their reporting of excess mortality in the 125 countries that reported adequate mortality and COVID vaccination data for comparison and analysis. The results are overwhelmingly high for correlation of vaccination uptake with subsequent mass deaths, all over the world. This link has met several of the Bradford Hill criteria for causation – overwhelming correlation with strength of association, consistency, temporal association, biological plausibility. Rancourt’s team also found positive correlation between number of vaccine doses and excess deaths for each of the countries examined. [7] The graphs in Appendix B, showing raw, excess and cumulative results for each country, show the tightness of this correlation. [8] This satisfies yet another of the Bradford Hill criteria to determine if correlation rises to the threshold of causation: that is dose-dependent effect. Rancourt, et al. Excess all-cause mortality in 2021, p. 507. The results that Rancourt’s team reports should be so persuasive as to be irrefutable in ending all use of COVID vaccines.
