    As anti-Palestinian provocations by notoriously racist Israeli football hooligans triggered riots in central Amsterdam on Thursday night, Israel and the far-right government of the Netherlands, along with other Western leaders, are rushing to portray the violence as ‘antisemitic pogroms’, even as the Dutch police said investigations are ongoing and refused to comment on the ethnicity of the Dutch citizens arrested overnight.

    No Israelis were arrested, but were instead given close police protection and escorted to their accommodations.

    Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu quickly condemned the clashes as ‘antisemitic’ in a call with the Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof, but the sequence of events suggest a different reality.

    The actual sequence of events

    Chanting anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab slogans, fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv gathered in central Amsterdam as their club played local giants Ajax, with eyewitnesses saying gangs of Israeli thugs first instigated violence Wednesday night by ripping down a Palestinian flag from a house in Amsterdam city center, an act which has been caught on several online videos, although The New Arab could not immediately verify the footage.

    The videos show dozens of hooded figures dressed fully in black chanting “Fuck you Palestine” and cheering “ole” as one of them climbed up the front of a building and ripped down a Palestinian flag on the Rokin, a street in central Amsterdam.

    Several other residences flying Palestinian flags were said to have been targeted by the thugs.

    Footage also shows one Israeli thug attacking a taxi reportedly belonging to an ethnic Arab resident with crowbar, which prompted other Dutch Arab cab drivers to attack the hooligans, which was broken up by the police.

    Maccabi hooligans were also reported to have begun attacking Arab residents in the Dutch capital earlier, as well as chanting obscene racist slogans against Palestinians and Arabs.

    As reported by the Clash Report, the Maccabi fans, who were protected by police, “chanted anti-Arab slurs and a genocidal song in Amsterdam”, including lines such as “there are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left”, “Let the IDF win to fuck the Arabs” and “Fuck you Palestine”.

    The tensions had been simmering days in advance, with Dutch authorities banning pro-Palestine protests against hosting the club in the city, in anticipation of clashes with the visiting Israeli fans. Amsterdam is considered the ‘Arab capital’ of the Netherlands, with over 77,000 residents being of Moroccan descent.

    Before the game, pro-Palestine protesters did convene at both the Johan Cruyff Arena, where the match was played and where riot police were called in to disperse pro-Palestine protesters from marching on the stadium. However, most of the violence between the Maccabi hooligans and Amsterdam residents occurred before and after the game in the city center.



    After the game, and with word spreading of earlier Israeli violence against Arab residents, young Arab residents of Amsterdam took to the streets to confront the Israeli fans, prompting running street clashes with the Maccabi hooligans, as well as reports of members of a Moroccan Dutch Ajax ultras group chasing the Israelis through the city after the game using ‘hit-and-run’ tactics according to the Dutch police.

    Israeli reports subsequently claimed the violence was organized and pre-planned.

    At least 10 of the Israeli hooligans were injured, including some either being thrown into or jumping into Amsterdam’s famous canals. Other videos show Israeli hooligans taunting Arab residents, only to be chased and then knocked out.

    Police said 62 people were arrested and five people hospitalized after the outbreak of violence by the Maccabi hooligans, without providing further details.

    The Israeli government said it would send planes to fly its citizens home but later said it would pursue ‘civilian solutions’.

    Eyewitnesses and video shows many of the fans masked, prompting speculation that Israeli agent provocateurs were among the thugs in an attempt to provoke violence.

    This comes amid a report in the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf on Tuesday that Mossad agents would be accompanying the Maccabi fans to Amsterdam out of “safety concerns”.

    The spin begins

    The Israeli government and pro-Israel officials were quick to frame the violence instigated by the Maccabi hooligans to claim that it was an anti-Israel or “antisemitic” attack by Arab Dutch residents.

    Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof denounced the “completely unacceptable anti-Semitic attacks on Israelis”.

    Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the clashes in Amsterdam after the Europa League football match, saying the “shocking images” of violence were reminiscent of the Hamas attack on October 7 last year.

    British academic and renowned anti-Islam figure Niall Ferguson took to social media site X to proclaim the violence as “shocking and disgraceful scenes of antisemitic violence”, while US pro-Israel writer Bari Weiss referred to it as a “pogrom”.

    The pro-Israel “Combat Antisemitism Movement” referred to the events as “a new Kristallnacht”, in reference to the outburst of anti-Jewish violence in Nazi Germany on 9 November, 1938.

    The leaders of France, and Germany as well as the U.S. anti-Semitism tsar all rushed to portray the incidents as motivated by anti-Semitism.

    But Amsterdam councilman Jazie Veldhuyzen, speaking to Al Jazeera on Friday, confirmed that it was the Israeli fans who began the violence.

    “They began attacking houses of people in Amsterdam with Palestinian flags, so that’s actually where the violence started,” Veldhuyzen said.

    “As a reaction, Amsterdammers mobilized themselves and countered the attacks that started on Wednesday by the Maccabi hooligans.”

    Dutch authorities said on Friday that the capital is now calm, and the Amsterdam police said they would track down any more citizen involved in the violence.

    It’s genocide and starvation as usual throughout Gaza.

    Another journalist killed by Israeli forces in Gaza

    Israeli forces have killed yet another Palestinian journalist in the Gaza Strip as the regime pushes on with its onslaught on the territory.

    On Friday, Gaza’s Government Media Office said the journalist was a local radio broadcaster.

    Khaled Abu Zir’s death raised the number of journalists and media workers killed by Israel in Gaza to 184 since October 2023.

    The media office called on the international community to hold the regime to account for its crimes against Palestinians, especially journalists.

    The Palestinian Journalists Protection Center (PJPC) said on Saturday that the Israeli war on the besieged territory has been the deadliest for members of the press than any other conflict over the past eight decades.

    The PJPC also said that “the killing has become the main weapon to silence journalists in Gaza.”

    An estimated 10 percent of all journalists working in Gaza have been killed since October 2023, as the Israeli authorities still ban the entry of foreign media workers.

    Israeli hooligans provoke clashes in Amsterdam after chanting anti-Palestinian slogans

    NOTE: Mainstream media have painted the Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam as victims of antisemitic attacks. Below are accounts by eyewitnesses who indicate that the Israeli fans instigated violence, and “antisemitism” was not involved; rather, the focus of the protests was the genocide in Gaza.

    For more on the media bias pervasive during this war, start with this and this; for more on the decades-long pro-Israel media bias, check out this and this.

    Israeli hooligans provoked clashes with Dutch youth in Amsterdam on Thursday after they chanted racist anti-Arab slogans, tore down Palestinian flags and ignored a minute of silence for the Spanish flood victims.

    Travelling Maccabi Tel Aviv fans stirred trouble on Wednesday and Thursday in different parts of of the Dutch capital ahead of their Uefa Europa League match against Amsterdam club Ajax.

    Hooligans were seen removing at least two Palestinian flags from what appeared to be the front of local residents’ homes a night before the match, according to the AD daily newspaper.

    An Arab taxi driver was also attacked by mobs who appeared to be with the Israeli fans, although police said they couldn’t identify the nationality of the attackers as no arrests were made.

    A group of Israeli fans gathered in the Dam Square on Wednesday were filmed sparking confrontations with locals, shouting “Fuck you” at some of them and “Fuck you Palestine”.

    Ahead of the match on Thursday, fans heading to the Johan Cruyff Arena stadium were seen shouting: “Let the IDF [Israeli army] fuck the Arabs”.

    They also refused to participate in a minute of silence before kick-off for at least 200 people who died in the Valencia floods.

    The police have not made any known arrests of the Israeli fans involved in provocative act ahead of the match.

    Nicholas McGeehan, who is a founder of FairSquare, highlighted the track record of racist chanting by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans and criticised how Dutch authorities painted them as “innocent victims of antisemitism.”

    “Israel’s most senior leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have openly courted far-right football supporters in Israel and have received their violent support in return. The well-documented racism and violence exhibited by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam mirrors the thuggery of the Israeli government in Gaza and Lebanon,” McGeehan told MEE.

    “This does not excuse the violence that was meted out to Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, but to present them as innocent victims of antisemitism is a gross misrepresentation of the facts.

    “To rid European football of the type of genocidal chanting we saw from Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, Uefa should remind the Israel Football Association of its obligations under article 7(7) of its statutes to stamp out racist behaviour, and impose appropriate sanctions if the IFA does not take action.”




    Israeli forces’ lethal tactics in occupied West Bank ‘exceed law enforcement standards,’ UN warns


    The UN on Friday reported an escalation of Israeli army’s actions in the occupied West Bank, warning that it seems to “exceed law enforcement standards.”

    Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), UN deputy spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay said at a news conference that “multiple operations by Israeli forces in the north this week included air strikes and other lethal war-like tactics, which appear to exceed law enforcement standards.”

    “According to initial information, eight Palestinians were killed and four others injured during Tuesday’s operations in Jenin, Tubas and Tulkarm,” she added.

    Meanwhile, Tremblay reported that from Oct. 29 to Nov. 4, “Israeli settlers carried out 35 attacks against Palestinians that caused casualties or property damage, including olive trees that were vandalized.”

    After Months of Debate – Wikipedia Describes Israel’s War on Gaza as ‘Genocide’

    Wikipedia has decided to rename the page – initially titled ‘Genocide allegations in the 2023 Israeli assault on Gaza’ to simply ‘Gaza Genocide’.

    This change follows a community vote among contributors to the free, open-content online encyclopedia, which is written and edited by an international body of volunteers.

    Drawing on expert opinions, Wikipedia editors, determined there was enough evidence from scholars and human rights organizations, like Amnesty International, to substantiate the term “genocide” in the page title.

    Though this change does not hold legal significance, it could impact global public opinion culturally and politically.

    The updated ‘Gaza Genocide’ article references nearly 800 sources, including human rights and field reports. Among these, several reports come from The Palestine Chronicle’s coverage of the war.

    Additionally, the page highlights references made by Israeli politicians, such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s invocation of the ‘Amalekites’ from biblical texts, stirring further discourse on Israel’s intentions.

    Translated into 16 languages, including Arabic, Turkish, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Indonesian, the page begins by noting that “experts, governments, UN agencies, and NGOs have accused Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinian people in the ongoing war.”



    More scandals emerge from Netanyahu’s office, including spies, blackmail, top secret documents

    Informed sources revealed to Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office may be involved in intimidating and blackmailing an army officer to obtain top secret documents.

    The involvement of two senior officials in Netanyahu’s office in obtaining and publishing sensitive materials from surveillance cameras related to a senior army officer is being investigated.

    According to the sources, investigations are underway to determine whether this is another incident in which senior officials ignored procedures, instructed subordinates to act against the rules and violated basic information security and privacy protection principles.

    The sources shared: “Spies were recruited by Netanyahu’s office in the Israeli army to steal top secret documents and transfer them to the office, followed by forged publication in the media to serve the narrative against the hostage deal.”

    The newspaper revealed that two senior officials in the Prime Minister’s Office were found to have embarrassing personal documents pertaining to a senior officer in the Israeli army.

    It noted that the former spokesperson for the Israeli prime minister, Eliezer Feldstein, who is suspected of involvement in leaking secret documents to the press, had previously been dismissed from the Israeli army during his reserve service at the beginning of the Gaza war.

    Netanyahu appoints hardline backer of settlements as Israeli envoy to US

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Yechiel Leiter as Israel’s ambassador to Washington on Friday, replacing current ambassador Michael Herzog.

    Leiter is considered close to Netanyahu and previously served as Netanyahu’s chief of staff.

    Leiter was born in the US and immigrated to Israel about 40 years ago. He actively supports settlements, especially in the Old City of Hebron, and lives in the Eli settlement in the occupied West Bank.

    A statement issued by Netanyahu’s office said that Leiter has a profound knowledge of the US administration and society, noting that Leiter’s son was killed during the war on Gaza a year ago.

    According to the statement by the Prime Minister’s office: “Yechiel Leiter is a talented diplomat, an articulate speaker and has a deep understanding of American culture and politics.

    “I am convinced he will represent the State of Israel in the best way and wish him luck in his new role.”

    Palestine Chronicle: The Israeli Settlers and Their Stones – The Daily Journey of Palestinian Students in West Bank


    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – NOVEMBER 8, 2024:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – November 8, 2024: at least 44,331* ( 43,552 in Gaza* – 69% are women and children, according to Gaza’s Media Office). [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

    This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified. This does not include an estimated 10,000 more in Gaza still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children).

    In the West Bank, Israeli soldiers and/or settlers have killed at least 779 Palestinians (~167 of them children).

    In July 2024, the Lancet said: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

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

    At least 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.
    About 345,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – November 8, 2024: at least 109,065 (including at least 102,765 in Gaza and 6,300 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 – November 8, 2024: ~1,574 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 396*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza (most recent: Nov 2); 39 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

    The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is at least 3,117, with 13,888 injuries. An estimated 1.34 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.

Nicholas McGeehan, who is a founder of FairSquare, highlighted the track record of racist chanting by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans and criticised how Dutch authorities painted them as “innocent victims of antisemitism.” “Israel’s most senior leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have openly courted far-right football supporters in Israel and have received their violent support in return. The well-documented racism and violence exhibited by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam mirrors the thuggery of the Israeli government in Gaza and Lebanon,” McGeehan told MEE. “This does not excuse the violence that was meted out to Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, but to present them as innocent victims of antisemitism is a gross misrepresentation of the facts. “To rid European football of the type of genocidal chanting we saw from Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, Uefa should remind the Israel Football Association of its obligations under article 7(7) of its statutes to stamp out racist behaviour, and impose appropriate sanctions if the IFA does not take action.” Israeli forces’ lethal tactics in occupied West Bank ‘exceed law enforcement standards,’ UN warns The UN on Friday reported an escalation of Israeli army’s actions in the occupied West Bank, warning that it seems to “exceed law enforcement standards.” Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), UN deputy spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay said at a news conference that “multiple operations by Israeli forces in the north this week included air strikes and other lethal war-like tactics, which appear to exceed law enforcement standards.” “According to initial information, eight Palestinians were killed and four others injured during Tuesday’s operations in Jenin, Tubas and Tulkarm,” she added. Meanwhile, Tremblay reported that from Oct. 29 to Nov. 4, “Israeli settlers carried out 35 attacks against Palestinians that caused casualties or property damage, including olive trees that were vandalized.” Streets with destroyed buildings are seen after an Israeli raid in Tulkarm, West Bank, on 7 November 2024.

(İssam Rimawi – Anadolu Agency) After Months of Debate – Wikipedia Describes Israel’s War on Gaza as ‘Genocide’ Wikipedia has decided to rename the page – initially titled ‘Genocide allegations in the 2023 Israeli assault on Gaza’ to simply ‘Gaza Genocide’. This change follows a community vote among contributors to the free, open-content online encyclopedia, which is written and edited by an international body of volunteers. Drawing on expert opinions, Wikipedia editors, determined there was enough evidence from scholars and human rights organizations, like Amnesty International, to substantiate the term “genocide” in the page title. Though this change does not hold legal significance, it could impact global public opinion culturally and politically. The updated ‘Gaza Genocide’ article references nearly 800 sources, including human rights and field reports. Among these, several reports come from The Palestine Chronicle’s coverage of the war. Additionally, the page highlights references made by Israeli politicians, such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s invocation of the ‘Amalekites’ from biblical texts, stirring further discourse on Israel’s intentions. Translated into 16 languages, including Arabic, Turkish, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Indonesian, the page begins by noting that “experts, governments, UN agencies, and NGOs have accused Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinian people in the ongoing war.” More scandals emerge from Netanyahu’s office, including spies, blackmail, top secret documents Informed sources revealed to Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office may be involved in intimidating and blackmailing an army officer to obtain top secret documents. The involvement of two senior officials in Netanyahu’s office in obtaining and publishing sensitive materials from surveillance cameras related to a senior army officer is being investigated. According to the sources, investigations are underway to determine whether this is another incident in which senior officials ignored procedures, instructed subordinates to act against the rules and violated basic information security and privacy protection principles. The sources shared: “Spies were recruited by Netanyahu’s office in the Israeli army to steal top secret documents and transfer them to the office, followed by forged publication in the media to serve the narrative against the hostage deal.” The newspaper revealed that two senior officials in the Prime Minister’s Office were found to have embarrassing personal documents pertaining to a senior officer in the Israeli army. It noted that the former spokesperson for the Israeli prime minister, Eliezer Feldstein, who is suspected of involvement in leaking secret documents to the press, had previously been dismissed from the Israeli army during his reserve service at the beginning of the Gaza war. Netanyahu appoints hardline backer of settlements as Israeli envoy to US Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Yechiel Leiter as Israel’s ambassador to Washington on Friday, replacing current ambassador Michael Herzog. Leiter is considered close to Netanyahu and previously served as Netanyahu’s chief of staff. Leiter was born in the US and immigrated to Israel about 40 years ago. He actively supports settlements, especially in the Old City of Hebron, and lives in the Eli settlement in the occupied West Bank. A statement issued by Netanyahu’s office said that Leiter has a profound knowledge of the US administration and society, noting that Leiter’s son was killed during the war on Gaza a year ago. According to the statement by the Prime Minister’s office: “Yechiel Leiter is a talented diplomat, an articulate speaker and has a deep understanding of American culture and politics. “I am convinced he will represent the State of Israel in the best way and wish him luck in his new role.” The Intercept: With Gaza’s Education System in Ruins, Parents Take Matters Into Their Own Hands Electronic Intifada: How close is the Israeli army to collapse? Palestine Chronicle: The Israeli Settlers and Their Stones – The Daily Journey of Palestinian Students in West Bank STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – NOVEMBER 8, 2024: Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – November 8, 2024: at least 44,331* ( 43,552 in Gaza* – 69% are women and children, according to Gaza’s Media Office). [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.] This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified. This does not include an estimated 10,000 more in Gaza still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). In the West Bank, Israeli soldiers and/or settlers have killed at least 779 Palestinians (~167 of them children). In July 2024, the Lancet said: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 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. About 345,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. Palestinian injuries from October 7 – November 8, 2024: at least 109,065 (including at least 102,765 in Gaza and 6,300 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 – November 8, 2024: ~1,574 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 396*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza (most recent: Nov 2); 39 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured. The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is at least 3,117, with 13,888 injuries. An estimated 1.34 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.

  • Skull & Bones (Death Cult)

    Look at this psychotic evil retard. This maniac needs to be put in the dirt. MORE and MORE, and MOOORE MOOOREEE MOOOOOOORREEEEEE!!!!!!!! Disgusting parasitic violent evil with that attitude is his essence.


    The House of Schwarzenberg is an Austrian-Bohemian nobility serving the House of Habsburg and they are involved with military, politics, and the Roman Ca6tholic Church with Cardinal Friedrich Schwarzenberg during the 19th century. The Schwarzenbergs are top managers of Skull and Bones and they have an extremely close alliance with the Furstenberg, Bush, Massimo, Sforza, Chigi, Pallavicini, Lucchesi, and Russell families. The Schwarzenbergs and the Black Monks specialize in brain hacking and really demented blasphemies. Prince Johanne Schwarzenberg's current wife is Princess Francesca Riaro-Sforza of Italy. They are also managers of Bohemian Grove. They literally have tens of thousands of DARPA agents all over the internet and especially on YouTube. The family has origins from Bavaria and they established a covert branch in Switzerland. On their coat of arms there is a raven pecking at a decapitated head. Prince Karel Schwarzenberg is the current head of this family and a member of the Czech parliament and a knight of the Habsburg's Order of the Golden Fleece. They are a Roman Catholic family also connected with Protestantism which was created as a false opposition to Rome. Prince Karel supports the idea that denying communist crimes is a criminal offense. That itself is fascist and intended to deny freedom of speech. Prince Karel has attended Bilderberg meetings. Bilderberg is international conference with members in politics, military, business, and banking that conspire together to dominate over society in secret which sounds just like communism. It was in Austria where families like the Schwarzenbergs ruled where the Nazi ideologies had originated from. The royal and noble bloodlines engineered WWII all around. Adolf Hitler was an Austrian. Gustave Schwarzenegger was an Austrian Nazi and the father of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold Schwarzenegger did a Nazi salute for one of his body building photos. Schwarzenegger is an unofficial relative of the Schwarzenberg family and that is why he has been allowed to become a famous and wealthy actor and politician as the former Governor of California. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Nazi military commander in the United States and operates like the Duke of California. The Coronado Naval Base in California has a barracks shaped like a swastika.

    James Schwarzenbach was a Swiss politician and a Nazi supporter. The Nazis SS used the Skull and Bones symbol. Arnold Schwarzenegger can be seen on the cover of Time Magazine with the billionaire Michael Bloomberg wearing a Skull and Bones belt buckle. Skull and Bones is a secret society at Yale University which was established by the English Crown and the Russell nobility in the United Kingdom with Andrew Russell the Marquis of Tavistock as the current head of this family and he has a close alliance with the Schwarzenbergs. The Bush family who were also involved with the Nazis are top managers of the Skull and Bones. Stephen Schwarzman is an American investor who is worth over 10 billion, is the CEO and co-founder of Blackstone Group and a member of Yale's Skull and Bones secret society. Stephen Schwarzman has also been the head of Donald Trump's economic advisory council and after Trump had a meeting with the Saudi royal family the Saudis agreed to a 20 billion dollar investment into Blackstone. The German word for black is Schwarz. Blackstone financed and partly owned BlackRock Investment which manages about 7 trillion in assets today. Blackstone Group and BlackRock Investment are the essence of corporate communism. Stephen Schwarzman has a residence at 740 Park Avenue which is a residence of many criminal billionaires and bankers. I believe there is an underground tunnel connected to the basement of 740 Park Avenue apartments. Leon Black is worth almost 7 billion and is the founder and CEO of Apollo Global Management which manages over 240 billion in assets. Tony Ressler is Leon Black's brother in law and is worth about 1 billion as the co-founder of Apollo Global Management and he was Jesuit educated at Georgetown University. Leon Black has a Polish ancestry and the House of Schwarzenberg ruled in the Kingdom of Bohemia which today includes parts of modern Poland. Apollo Global Management is named after the Greek deity for the sun. High level members of the Nazis like Heinrich Himmler were part of the secret society called the Black Sun Society or in German called Schwarze Sonne.

    Schwarzenegger had a meeting with the criminal bankers Jacob Rothschild and Warren Buffet several years back. The Schwarzenbach name originates from Bavaria like the Schwarzenberg name. Schwarzenberg is the name of a city in Berne and also in Lucernce. These Swiss cities are named after Schwarzenberg Castle established by the House of Habsburg. I believe this family moved into Zurich and became merchants of Zunfte and involved in the silk trade. Urs Schwarzenbach is a Swiss billionaire and a British knight of the Order of Saint John who was found guilty of art trafficking in Switzerland. Prince Karel Schwarzenberg is a dual Czech-Swiss citizen. George Soros (Schwartz) Dieter Schwarz, Bernard Schwartz and Stephen Schwarzman are all Court Factors handling the finances and criminal interests for the Schwarzenberg family. Arnold Schwarzenegger is really a Prince of the Schwarzenberg family and like the Duke of California. Schwarzenegger runs a ruthless cult within the body builder industry and some members of this cult include Dave Bautista, Kiki Vhyce, and Craig Golias. Prince Karel's children are Prince Johannes, Princess Anna, and Prince Karl Philipp. Prince Karel's father was a Knight of Malta. The Schwarzenberg family works under the Roman Catholic House of Habsburg as Knights of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Prince Karel is the head of this family and his son is Prince Johannes and his daughter is Princess Anna and she was married to Peter Morgan. Peter Morgan is extremely evil and he manages the satanic shill and Moorish gang stalker Joe Morgan who works with Jamie Lee. Joe Morgan is one of the most evil gang stalkers on the planet and he is the essence of arrogant stupidity with him idiotically claiming credit for other peoples work. The word Moron is etymologically connected with Moor and Morgan. The satanic actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan also works under the Schwarzenberg family and Peter Morgan. The Roman Catholic Habsburgs and Schwarzenbergs work with the Black Nobility of Italy and Vatican as Knights of the Order of Malta and as Roman Catholic royals and nobles appointed by Rome. These child murdering Nazi-Communists and terrorists are pure evil and they need to be exterminated out of existence.


    Prince Karel Schwarzenberg is an owner of some Slavic mafias and a top authority over the Skull and Bones military council and paramilitary as well as the Bohemian Grove cult, the Black Sun Society and the Roman Catholic Black Monk priesthood. The Soros family are court factors for the House of Schwarzenberg. Prince Karel says he has known George Soros (Schwartz) for about 30 years.

    SHOCKING: George Soros admits Nazi collaboration with no regrets


    Prince Johannes Schwarzenberg is a top manager of the Black Monks and Black Sun Society as well as DARPA and the Bohemian Club which do mock human sacrifices through holocaust. Secretly these psychos do real human sacrifices and burn people alive just as the Nazis did. They are covering up what the Nazis did. They targeted anyone who opposed them and labeled them all Jews and in many cases burned people alive at the furnaces at the concentration camps.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_(sacrifice)

    A holocaust is a religious animal sacrifice that is completely consumed by fire. The word derives from the Ancient Greek holokaustos (ὁλόκαυστος from ὅλος "whole" and καυστός "burnt", with rough breathing), which is used solely for one of the major forms of sacrifice.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust

    The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah,[b] was the World War II genocide

    The bodies were burned in open fire pits and the remaining bones crushed into powder.[300]

    George Soros was born George Schwartz and he was from Hungary. George Soros was a Jewish Nazi that confiscated property from Jews and other groups the Nazis persecuted. His brother Paul Soros was suspected of being a Nazi SS member. There were Jewish Nazis during in Germany. The Schwarzenbergs were Holy Roman military leaders and fought in Hungary. Hungary has been part of the Holy Roman Habsburg empire and the Schwarzenbergs are nobles under the Habsburgs. Prince Karel Schwarzenberg stated that he has known George Soros for 30 years. George Soros is really a relative of the Schwarzenbergs and their financier. George Soros admits in a video that he worked for Nazis and confiscated property from Jews.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_Schwarzenberg

    The House of Schwarzenberg originates in Franconia, where the family still owns substantial property,[citation needed] but made Bohemia their primary seat in the 17th century, also maintaining residences in Vienna. The family had possessed fiefdoms in Bohemia as far back as the Middle Ages; it was one of the richest noble families of Bohemia and Austria-Hungary

    Ford and the Führer

    They show, among other things, that up until Pearl Harbor, Dearborn made huge revenues by producing war matériel for the Reich and that the man it selected to run its German subsidiary was an enthusiastic backer of Hitler. German Ford served as an “arsenal of Nazism” with the consent of headquarters in Dearborn, says a US Army report prepared in 1945.


    Moreover, Ford’s cooperation with the Nazis continued until at least August 1942–eight months after the United States entered the war–through its properties in Vichy France. Indeed, a secret wartime report prepared by the US Treasury Department concluded that the Ford family sought to further its business interests by encouraging Ford of France executives to work with German officials overseeing the occupation. “There would seem to be at least a tacit acceptance by [Henry Ford’s son] Mr. Edsel Ford of the reliance…on the known neutrality of the Ford family as a basis of receipt of favors from the German Reich,” it says.

    German Ford began producing vehicles of a strictly military nature for the Reich even before the war began.




    Jonathan Soros founded JS Capital Management and he finances gang stalking and human trafficking rings to satanic cults. The Soros family are pure evil and extremely destructive. They use the Open Society Foundations to finance criminal agendas like gang stalking while disguised as grants and they also finance domestic terrorism disguised as political movements.

    Robert Soros is a high level Jewish-Nazi commander of gang stalking cults and the Soros family finance child trafficking networks to satanic witches most of all. There is a large satanic Wiccan cult in the upstate New York region and they finance sacrifices to them and also bribe authorities into enabling these child trafficking/child murdering cults.


    Princess Anna Schwarzenberg with her very evil ex-husband Peter Morgan who is now with the wicked actress Gillian Anderson who lives in Clerkenwell, London where the Massimo owned Clerkenwell Mafia are headquartered. Peter Morgan is a manager of Joe Morgan a paid shill that attempts to steal credit for my writings. Joe Morgan manages Tabu Blog and Morgan is the real Aplanetruth while he uses Jamie Lee as his cover. I exposed Joe Morgan several years ago as Aplanetruth after he used my articles to make a video which he distorted and mixed his own word into it. He also used my information as bait to target people. More recently a man named Jamie Lee has been claiming to be Aplanetruth. He used voice mimicking software to imitate Joe Morgan's voice during an interview. They are literal DARPA agents. Joe Morgan is the most evil, blasphemous, and depraved creature within this entire group and he is supported by Dave Bautista and Craig Golias. Aplanetruth uses a sunflower for his YouTube avatar. After I first exposed Joe Morgan as Aplanetruth several years ago I had cars trying to run me off the road the next day with sunflowers hanging from their rearview mirrors. Joe Morgan is a member of the Nazi Black Sun Society and he is one of the most blasphemous, deceitful, moronic, and evil gang stalkers in the United States and he is obsessed with dressing up as a woman and raping, murdering, and cannibalizing male children and that is why he wants to destroy society. Joe Morgan is a relentless fiend of blasphemy.

    The black sun (German Schwarze Sonne) is a symbol employed in a post-Third Reich context by neo-Nazis and some occult subcultures, such as Satanism. The symbol first occurs as a design element in a castle remodeled and expanded under Heinrich Himmler during the Nazi era. The symbol's design consists of twelve radial mirrored sig runes, symbols employed as a logo by the Schutzstaffel.

    ​The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and Men of Jewish Descent in the German Military
    Contrary to conventional views, Rigg reveals that a startlingly large number of German military men were classified by the Nazis as Jews or "partial-Jews" (Mischlinge), in the wake of racial laws first enacted in the mid-1930s. Rigg demonstrates that the actual number was much higher than previously thought-perhaps as many as 150,000 men, including decorated veterans and high-ranking officers, even generals and admirals.
    Gustav Schwarzenegger was an Austrian Nazi



    Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the Nazi salute. Arnold's father was a German Nazi soldier from Austria. Arnold Schwarzenegger is managing Nazi cults of militant gang stalkers in the United States. Schwarzenegger is a dangerous militant tyrant that rapes, murders, and cannibalizes women and little girls. He is an extremely insolent beast and a disgusting sodomite. Arnold Schwarzenegger needs to be painfully executed.


    Craig Golias is a psychotic parasite and bodybuilder from the Ohio living in Las Vegas and operates as a bodyguard for the Albanian Mafia and Jewish Mafia and he is a commander of sadistic gang stalkers with Moorish ancestry like Joe Morgan, Tyler Mullen, Richie from Boston, Zachary Hubbard, Chris Huffman, and Benjamin Liashenko. Golias often works with an Albanian mobster who resides in Las Vegas named Ergest Mati. Golias is an agent of the Schwarzenbergs and he works under the authority of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Golias runs a cult of steroid induced gang stalkers who specialize in violent blasphemies as well as murder and cannibalism. This idiot has been declaring himself god. This demonic sub human is going to get killed for his excessive evils.

    Kiki Vhyce is an Australian female bodybuilder who works for Blackstone labs which takes its name after Blackstone Group the investment firm owned by Stephen Schwarzman. Kiki Vyhce is an agent of the Schwarzenbergs and a major murderer and cannibal who is extremely blasphemous and she manages a large global cult of Amazons and witches like a sadist named Alison McCarthy-Senatro.


    Stephen Schwarzman is a Jewish Skull and Bones member worth about 12 billion as the owner of Blackstone Group. Blackstone invested in BlackRock which manages over 7 trillion in assets. Both Blackstone and BlackRock are involved in financing bribes, child trafficking networks, and financial persecution on members of society. BlackRock is the most oppressive financial group on the planet. The ones managing Blackstone and BlackRock are international criminals that need to be executed. Schwarzman also financed the creation of BlackRock Investment and has been an economic adviser for President Donald Trump. After Trump met with the House of Saud they agreed to invest 1 billion into Blackstone. Schwarzman has a home on 740 Park Avenue which is home to numerous billionaires and investment bankers including the Santo Domingo and Niarchos families which are both involved with human trafficking and has been home to the mafia Del Balso crime family, Kochs, Lauder Zionists, Rockefellers, and the House of Saud. 740 Park Avenue is a headquarters for wealthy criminals like Schwarzman, David Koch, and Woody Johnson. I believe there are underground tunnels connected to 740 Park Avenue used for trafficking underage sex slaves.

    When Saudi Arabia pledged as much as $20 billion to help Blackstone Group LP build the world’s largest infrastructure fund, the kingdom wanted to be rewarded for its unprecedented commitment.

    The infrastructure fund has been a source of Wall Street fascination since it was unveiled during a visit by Chief Executive Officer Stephen Schwarzman and President Donald Trump to Riyadh in May 2017.

    Fink sought funding (for initial operating capital) from Pete Peterson of The Blackstone Group who believed in Fink's vision of a firm devoted to risk management. Peterson called it Blackstone Financial Management.[12] In exchange for a 50 percent stake in the bond business, initially Blackstone gave Fink and his team a $5 million credit line. Within months, the business had turned profitable, and by 1989 the group's assets had quadrupled to $2.7 billion. The percent of the stake owned by Blackstone also fell to 40%, compared to Fink's staff.[12]

    By 1992, Blackstone had a stake equating to about 35% of the company, and Schwarzman and Fink were considering selling shares to the public.[13]

    Schwarzman remained with Blackstone, while Fink went on to become chairman and CEO of BlackRock Inc.[13]

    Larry Fink is the billionaire CEO of BlackRock which manages over 7 trillion in assets. BlackRock is an illegal monopoly that uses it control over trillions as leverage over economies and for financial persecution. BlackRock is also involved with financing child trafficking networks.

    Skull & Bones (Death Cult) Look at this psychotic evil retard. This maniac needs to be put in the dirt. MORE and MORE, and MOOORE MOOOREEE MOOOOOOORREEEEEE!!!!!!!! Disgusting parasitic violent evil with that attitude is his essence. The House of Schwarzenberg is an Austrian-Bohemian nobility serving the House of Habsburg and they are involved with military, politics, and the Roman Ca6tholic Church with Cardinal Friedrich Schwarzenberg during the 19th century. The Schwarzenbergs are top managers of Skull and Bones and they have an extremely close alliance with the Furstenberg, Bush, Massimo, Sforza, Chigi, Pallavicini, Lucchesi, and Russell families. The Schwarzenbergs and the Black Monks specialize in brain hacking and really demented blasphemies. Prince Johanne Schwarzenberg's current wife is Princess Francesca Riaro-Sforza of Italy. They are also managers of Bohemian Grove. They literally have tens of thousands of DARPA agents all over the internet and especially on YouTube. The family has origins from Bavaria and they established a covert branch in Switzerland. On their coat of arms there is a raven pecking at a decapitated head. Prince Karel Schwarzenberg is the current head of this family and a member of the Czech parliament and a knight of the Habsburg's Order of the Golden Fleece. They are a Roman Catholic family also connected with Protestantism which was created as a false opposition to Rome. Prince Karel supports the idea that denying communist crimes is a criminal offense. That itself is fascist and intended to deny freedom of speech. Prince Karel has attended Bilderberg meetings. Bilderberg is international conference with members in politics, military, business, and banking that conspire together to dominate over society in secret which sounds just like communism. It was in Austria where families like the Schwarzenbergs ruled where the Nazi ideologies had originated from. The royal and noble bloodlines engineered WWII all around. Adolf Hitler was an Austrian. Gustave Schwarzenegger was an Austrian Nazi and the father of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold Schwarzenegger did a Nazi salute for one of his body building photos. Schwarzenegger is an unofficial relative of the Schwarzenberg family and that is why he has been allowed to become a famous and wealthy actor and politician as the former Governor of California. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Nazi military commander in the United States and operates like the Duke of California. The Coronado Naval Base in California has a barracks shaped like a swastika. James Schwarzenbach was a Swiss politician and a Nazi supporter. The Nazis SS used the Skull and Bones symbol. Arnold Schwarzenegger can be seen on the cover of Time Magazine with the billionaire Michael Bloomberg wearing a Skull and Bones belt buckle. Skull and Bones is a secret society at Yale University which was established by the English Crown and the Russell nobility in the United Kingdom with Andrew Russell the Marquis of Tavistock as the current head of this family and he has a close alliance with the Schwarzenbergs. The Bush family who were also involved with the Nazis are top managers of the Skull and Bones. Stephen Schwarzman is an American investor who is worth over 10 billion, is the CEO and co-founder of Blackstone Group and a member of Yale's Skull and Bones secret society. Stephen Schwarzman has also been the head of Donald Trump's economic advisory council and after Trump had a meeting with the Saudi royal family the Saudis agreed to a 20 billion dollar investment into Blackstone. The German word for black is Schwarz. Blackstone financed and partly owned BlackRock Investment which manages about 7 trillion in assets today. Blackstone Group and BlackRock Investment are the essence of corporate communism. Stephen Schwarzman has a residence at 740 Park Avenue which is a residence of many criminal billionaires and bankers. I believe there is an underground tunnel connected to the basement of 740 Park Avenue apartments. Leon Black is worth almost 7 billion and is the founder and CEO of Apollo Global Management which manages over 240 billion in assets. Tony Ressler is Leon Black's brother in law and is worth about 1 billion as the co-founder of Apollo Global Management and he was Jesuit educated at Georgetown University. Leon Black has a Polish ancestry and the House of Schwarzenberg ruled in the Kingdom of Bohemia which today includes parts of modern Poland. Apollo Global Management is named after the Greek deity for the sun. High level members of the Nazis like Heinrich Himmler were part of the secret society called the Black Sun Society or in German called Schwarze Sonne. Schwarzenegger had a meeting with the criminal bankers Jacob Rothschild and Warren Buffet several years back. The Schwarzenbach name originates from Bavaria like the Schwarzenberg name. Schwarzenberg is the name of a city in Berne and also in Lucernce. These Swiss cities are named after Schwarzenberg Castle established by the House of Habsburg. I believe this family moved into Zurich and became merchants of Zunfte and involved in the silk trade. Urs Schwarzenbach is a Swiss billionaire and a British knight of the Order of Saint John who was found guilty of art trafficking in Switzerland. Prince Karel Schwarzenberg is a dual Czech-Swiss citizen. George Soros (Schwartz) Dieter Schwarz, Bernard Schwartz and Stephen Schwarzman are all Court Factors handling the finances and criminal interests for the Schwarzenberg family. Arnold Schwarzenegger is really a Prince of the Schwarzenberg family and like the Duke of California. Schwarzenegger runs a ruthless cult within the body builder industry and some members of this cult include Dave Bautista, Kiki Vhyce, and Craig Golias. Prince Karel's children are Prince Johannes, Princess Anna, and Prince Karl Philipp. Prince Karel's father was a Knight of Malta. The Schwarzenberg family works under the Roman Catholic House of Habsburg as Knights of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Prince Karel is the head of this family and his son is Prince Johannes and his daughter is Princess Anna and she was married to Peter Morgan. Peter Morgan is extremely evil and he manages the satanic shill and Moorish gang stalker Joe Morgan who works with Jamie Lee. Joe Morgan is one of the most evil gang stalkers on the planet and he is the essence of arrogant stupidity with him idiotically claiming credit for other peoples work. The word Moron is etymologically connected with Moor and Morgan. The satanic actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan also works under the Schwarzenberg family and Peter Morgan. The Roman Catholic Habsburgs and Schwarzenbergs work with the Black Nobility of Italy and Vatican as Knights of the Order of Malta and as Roman Catholic royals and nobles appointed by Rome. These child murdering Nazi-Communists and terrorists are pure evil and they need to be exterminated out of existence. Prince Karel Schwarzenberg is an owner of some Slavic mafias and a top authority over the Skull and Bones military council and paramilitary as well as the Bohemian Grove cult, the Black Sun Society and the Roman Catholic Black Monk priesthood. The Soros family are court factors for the House of Schwarzenberg. Prince Karel says he has known George Soros (Schwartz) for about 30 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_Schwarzenberg Karel Schwarzenberg (Czech pronunciation: [ˈʃvartsn̩bɛrk], born 10 December 1937) is a Czech politician, former leader of the TOP 09 party and its candidate for President of the Czech Republic in the 2013 election. Currently, he serves as a Member of the Chamber of Deputies (MP). Karel Schwarzenberg is the eldest son of Prince Karel VI of Schwarzenberg of the junior line (Second Majorat of the House of Schwarzenberg), and Princess Antonie von Fürstenberg. He is the 1,322nd Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece of Austria.[8] He is first cousin of Princess Ira and Prince Egon von Fürstenberg and second cousin of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. By tradition, he holds the style of Serene Highness Schwarzenberg is also a regular attendant to the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg meetings. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-17/czech-prince-call-soros-best-hope-for-eastern-europe-democracy Eastern Europe still needs people like George Soros to prevent a slide back into the authoritarianism of the past, said Karel Schwarzenberg, a diplomat prince who’s known the financier for 30 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9tKvasRO54 SHOCKING: George Soros admits Nazi collaboration with no regrets Prince Johannes Schwarzenberg is a top manager of the Black Monks and Black Sun Society as well as DARPA and the Bohemian Club which do mock human sacrifices through holocaust. Secretly these psychos do real human sacrifices and burn people alive just as the Nazis did. They are covering up what the Nazis did. They targeted anyone who opposed them and labeled them all Jews and in many cases burned people alive at the furnaces at the concentration camps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Grove Bohemian Grove is a restricted 2,700-acre (1,100 ha) campground at 20601 Bohemian Avenue, in Monte Rio, California, United States, belonging to a private San Francisco–based gentlemen's club known as the Bohemian Club. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremation_of_Care The Cremation of Care is an annual theatrical production written, produced, and performed by and for members of the Bohemian Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremation Cremation is a method of final disposition of a dead body through burning (combustion).[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_(sacrifice) A holocaust is a religious animal sacrifice that is completely consumed by fire. The word derives from the Ancient Greek holokaustos (ὁλόκαυστος from ὅλος "whole" and καυστός "burnt", with rough breathing), which is used solely for one of the major forms of sacrifice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah,[b] was the World War II genocide The bodies were burned in open fire pits and the remaining bones crushed into powder.[300] Prince Johannes with his wife Princess Francesca Riaro-Sforza from the Roman and Milanese nobility which has close connections with the Vatican. The Sforzas have a serpent eating a child on their coat of arms. Princess Francesca is a child murdering cannibal. George Soros was born George Schwartz and he was from Hungary. George Soros was a Jewish Nazi that confiscated property from Jews and other groups the Nazis persecuted. His brother Paul Soros was suspected of being a Nazi SS member. There were Jewish Nazis during in Germany. The Schwarzenbergs were Holy Roman military leaders and fought in Hungary. Hungary has been part of the Holy Roman Habsburg empire and the Schwarzenbergs are nobles under the Habsburgs. Prince Karel Schwarzenberg stated that he has known George Soros for 30 years. George Soros is really a relative of the Schwarzenbergs and their financier. George Soros admits in a video that he worked for Nazis and confiscated property from Jews. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_Schwarzenberg The House of Schwarzenberg originates in Franconia, where the family still owns substantial property,[citation needed] but made Bohemia their primary seat in the 17th century, also maintaining residences in Vienna. The family had possessed fiefdoms in Bohemia as far back as the Middle Ages; it was one of the richest noble families of Bohemia and Austria-Hungary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Soros George Soros[a], Hon FBA (born Schwartz György; August 12, 1930)[1][2] is a Hungarian-American[b] investor and philanthropist.[8][9] As of February 2018, he had a net worth of $8 billion,[10] having donated more than $32 billion to his philanthropic agency, Open Society Foundations.[11] In 1936, Soros's family changed their name from the German-Jewish Schwartz to Soros, as protective camouflage in increasingly antisemitic Hungary. Alex Soros is the Deputy Chair of the Open Society Foundations which finances gang stalking and human trafficking. Alex Soros also created the Alexander Soros Foundation which also finances gang stalking, political terrorism, and human trafficking. Alex Soros is close friends with numerous Democratic politicians and Hollywood actors which he finances child trafficking networks to. The Soros' Open Society Foundation works closely with the Ford Foundation. Henry Ford was a major Nazi supporter. Again Soros the Jew was a Nazi and their Open Society Foundation works with the Ford Foundation established by the Ford family who worked with the Nazis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Soros Alexander G. Soros (born October 27, 1985)[1] is an American philanthropist. He is Deputy Chair of the Open Society Foundations and one of the World Economic Forum's Young Global Leaders of 2018. https://www.fordfoundation.org/campaigns/public-interest-tech/funders/ FORDFOUNDATION Many of our friends in philanthropy—including the Mozilla Foundation, Astraea Foundation, Knight Foundation, and Open Society Foundations—are doing something similar. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/ford-and-fuhrer/ Ford and the Führer They show, among other things, that up until Pearl Harbor, Dearborn made huge revenues by producing war matériel for the Reich and that the man it selected to run its German subsidiary was an enthusiastic backer of Hitler. German Ford served as an “arsenal of Nazism” with the consent of headquarters in Dearborn, says a US Army report prepared in 1945. Moreover, Ford’s cooperation with the Nazis continued until at least August 1942–eight months after the United States entered the war–through its properties in Vichy France. Indeed, a secret wartime report prepared by the US Treasury Department concluded that the Ford family sought to further its business interests by encouraging Ford of France executives to work with German officials overseeing the occupation. “There would seem to be at least a tacit acceptance by [Henry Ford’s son] Mr. Edsel Ford of the reliance…on the known neutrality of the Ford family as a basis of receipt of favors from the German Reich,” it says. German Ford began producing vehicles of a strictly military nature for the Reich even before the war began. Jonathan Soros founded JS Capital Management and he finances gang stalking and human trafficking rings to satanic cults. The Soros family are pure evil and extremely destructive. They use the Open Society Foundations to finance criminal agendas like gang stalking while disguised as grants and they also finance domestic terrorism disguised as political movements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Soros Jonathan Tivadar Soros (born September 10, 1970) is the founder and chief executive officer of JS Capital Management LLC, a private investment firm.[1][2] Prior to that, Soros worked at Soros Fund Management in daily operations and was co-deputy chairman of the organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Society_Foundations Open Society Foundations (OSF), formerly the Open Society Institute, is an international grantmaking network founded by business magnate George Soros.[1] Open Society Foundations financially support civil society groups around the world, with a stated aim of advancing justice, education, public health and independent media.[2][3] Robert Soros is a high level Jewish-Nazi commander of gang stalking cults and the Soros family finance child trafficking networks to satanic witches most of all. There is a large satanic Wiccan cult in the upstate New York region and they finance sacrifices to them and also bribe authorities into enabling these child trafficking/child murdering cults. Princess Anna Schwarzenberg with her very evil ex-husband Peter Morgan who is now with the wicked actress Gillian Anderson who lives in Clerkenwell, London where the Massimo owned Clerkenwell Mafia are headquartered. Peter Morgan is a manager of Joe Morgan a paid shill that attempts to steal credit for my writings. Joe Morgan manages Tabu Blog and Morgan is the real Aplanetruth while he uses Jamie Lee as his cover. I exposed Joe Morgan several years ago as Aplanetruth after he used my articles to make a video which he distorted and mixed his own word into it. He also used my information as bait to target people. More recently a man named Jamie Lee has been claiming to be Aplanetruth. He used voice mimicking software to imitate Joe Morgan's voice during an interview. They are literal DARPA agents. Joe Morgan is the most evil, blasphemous, and depraved creature within this entire group and he is supported by Dave Bautista and Craig Golias. Aplanetruth uses a sunflower for his YouTube avatar. After I first exposed Joe Morgan as Aplanetruth several years ago I had cars trying to run me off the road the next day with sunflowers hanging from their rearview mirrors. Joe Morgan is a member of the Nazi Black Sun Society and he is one of the most blasphemous, deceitful, moronic, and evil gang stalkers in the United States and he is obsessed with dressing up as a woman and raping, murdering, and cannibalizing male children and that is why he wants to destroy society. Joe Morgan is a relentless fiend of blasphemy. Black Sun Society symbol used by the Nazis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(symbol) The black sun (German Schwarze Sonne) is a symbol employed in a post-Third Reich context by neo-Nazis and some occult subcultures, such as Satanism. The symbol first occurs as a design element in a castle remodeled and expanded under Heinrich Himmler during the Nazi era. The symbol's design consists of twelve radial mirrored sig runes, symbols employed as a logo by the Schutzstaffel. Nazi military cap with the Skull and Bones and the Skull and Bones secret society logo with 322 which represents March, 22 the beginning of the Aries Zodiac. Aries like Aryan. Arnold Schwarzenegger the Nazi with the Jewish Michael Bloomberg who is worth over 60 billion. There were Jewish Nazis who fought for Hilter. Schwarzenegger is wearing the Skull and Bones belt buckle on the cover of Time Magazine. The Skull and Bones is often used by elite militaries and was used by SS officers in Nazi Germany. Arnold's father Gustave Schwarzenegger was an Austrian Nazi. https://kansaspress.ku.edu/978-0-7006-1358-8.html Hitler's Jewish Soldiers ​The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and Men of Jewish Descent in the German Military Contrary to conventional views, Rigg reveals that a startlingly large number of German military men were classified by the Nazis as Jews or "partial-Jews" (Mischlinge), in the wake of racial laws first enacted in the mid-1930s. Rigg demonstrates that the actual number was much higher than previously thought-perhaps as many as 150,000 men, including decorated veterans and high-ranking officers, even generals and admirals. Gustav Schwarzenegger was an Austrian Nazi Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the Nazi salute. Arnold's father was a German Nazi soldier from Austria. Arnold Schwarzenegger is managing Nazi cults of militant gang stalkers in the United States. Schwarzenegger is a dangerous militant tyrant that rapes, murders, and cannibalizes women and little girls. He is an extremely insolent beast and a disgusting sodomite. Arnold Schwarzenegger needs to be painfully executed. Craig Golias is a psychotic parasite and bodybuilder from the Ohio living in Las Vegas and operates as a bodyguard for the Albanian Mafia and Jewish Mafia and he is a commander of sadistic gang stalkers with Moorish ancestry like Joe Morgan, Tyler Mullen, Richie from Boston, Zachary Hubbard, Chris Huffman, and Benjamin Liashenko. Golias often works with an Albanian mobster who resides in Las Vegas named Ergest Mati. Golias is an agent of the Schwarzenbergs and he works under the authority of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Golias runs a cult of steroid induced gang stalkers who specialize in violent blasphemies as well as murder and cannibalism. This idiot has been declaring himself god. This demonic sub human is going to get killed for his excessive evils. https://www.facebook.com/craig.golias Craig Golias Current City and Hometown Las Vegas, Nevada Current city Cleveland, Ohio Hometown Kiki Vhyce is an Australian female bodybuilder who works for Blackstone labs which takes its name after Blackstone Group the investment firm owned by Stephen Schwarzman.

Stephen Schwarzman is a Jewish Skull and Bones member worth about 12 billion as the owner of Blackstone Group. Blackstone invested in BlackRock which manages over 7 trillion in assets. Both Blackstone and BlackRock are involved in financing bribes, child trafficking networks, and financial persecution on members of society. BlackRock is the most oppressive financial group on the planet. The ones managing Blackstone and BlackRock are international criminals that need to be executed. Schwarzman also financed the creation of BlackRock Investment and has been an economic adviser for President Donald Trump. After Trump met with the House of Saud they agreed to invest 1 billion into Blackstone. Schwarzman has a home on 740 Park Avenue which is home to numerous billionaires and investment bankers including the Santo Domingo and Niarchos families which are both involved with human trafficking and has been home to the mafia Del Balso crime family, Kochs, Lauder Zionists, Rockefellers, and the House of Saud. 740 Park Avenue is a headquarters for wealthy criminals like Schwarzman, David Koch, and Woody Johnson.

    Palestinians will not be allowed to return to homes in northern Gaza, says Israeli military

    Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area.

    In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”.

    He added that humanitarian aid would be allowed to “regularly” enter the south of the territory but not the north, since there are “no more civilians left”.

    International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

    Israeli Strike on Home in Northern Gaza Kills 25, Including 13 Children

    An Israeli strike on a home in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, killed at least 25 Palestinians, including 13 children, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on Tuesday.

    Medical sources told WAFA that people are still missing under the rubble, meaning the death toll could rise. Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the director of the nearby Kamal Adwan Hospital, which has come under repeated Israeli attacks, said the home that was targeted was sheltering several displaced Palestinian families.

    According to The Associated Press, Israel claimed it targeted a weapons storage facility but, as usual, offered no evidence for the claim.

    Israel dropped over 85,000 tons of bombs inside Gaza since start of genocide

    The Israeli military has dropped more than 85,000 tons of bombs inside the besieged Gaza Strip since the start of the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023, according to a statement by the Palestinian Environment Quality Authority.

    Palestinian officials say the continuous bombing “has caused the destruction of vast areas of agricultural land and contaminated soil with toxic chemicals, which will hinder agriculture in the enclave for decades.”

    Furthermore, the officials say Israeli attacks have caused significant damage to Gaza’s water sources, “causing polluted water to seep into groundwater basins, [posing] a health and environmental crisis that endangers hundreds of thousands of residents for future generations.”

    Earlier this year, the UN warned that removing tens of millions of tons of rubble left in the aftermath of Israel’s bombardment could take 15 years and cost between $500-600 million. Moreover, rebuilding destroyed homes could take at least until 2040.

    In economic terms, the UN Conference on Trade and Development said in a report released last month that if the war ends soon and Gaza returns to the status quo before 7 October 2023, it could take 350 years for its economy to return to its precarious prewar level.

    Israel signs $5.2B deal to acquire advanced F-15 fighter jets

    Israel, which continues to strike both Gaza and Lebanon, announced signing a deal to purchase 25 next generation F-15 fighter jets from US aviation giant Boeing.

    In a statement, the Defense Ministry said the agreement, signed on Wednesday, is part of a broader aid package approved by the US administration and Congress earlier this year and includes an option for 25 additional aircraft.

    The jets will be “equipped with cutting-edge weapon systems” and integrated with advanced Israeli technologies, the statement said.

    According to the ministry, the upgraded aircraft will help the air force “maintain its strategic superiority in addressing current and future challenges in the Middle East.”

    Delivery of the aircraft will begin in 2031, with four to six aircraft to be supplied annually.

    New criminal probe alleges Netanyahu tried to make discussions of the war “untraceable”

    Israeli police are investigating “criminal incidents” reportedly linked to meetings held by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet at the start of the war on Gaza in October last year, Israeli media reported on 5 November.

    “The police’s Lahav 433 investigation unit is conducting a criminal probe related to incidents from the start of the war, including several open investigations,” a police statement said, adding that further details remain under gag order and are barred from publication.

    The Times of Israel added that reports appearing in Hebrew media earlier this year claimed that Netanyahu had been “attempting to keep his conversations regarding the management of the war in Gaza untraceable.”

    Senior figures in the security establishment allegedly fear that efforts were being made to edit the minutes of wartime discussions held with Netanyahu after discovering discrepancies between transcripts of the meetings and what officials in attendance had heard first-hand.

    Knesset Passes Law to Deport Relatives of Resistance Fighters for Up to 20 Years

    Israel’s Knesset approved a bill on Wednesday to allow the deportation of relatives of resistance fighters (their word: “terrorists”) from Israel for up to 20 years. A temporary five-year provision was also passed, enabling the imprisonment of minors under 14 years of age who are convicted of homicide as part of a terror act.

    It was proposed by Likud lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky, and states that family members may be deported by the Interior Minister to to Gaza “or another destination determined by the circumstances” if it is found that they “knew in advance of the [so-called] terrorist’s plan and did not take necessary measures to prevent it.”

    The interior minister would also have the authority to deport a relative who “expressed support or sympathy for the act of [so-called] terrorism or published praise, admiration, or encouragement.” A decision on the deportation will be made after a hearing.

    The law, which was fast-tracked, is considered extreme, and the Attorney General’s office did not issue an opinion on it after a representative claimed that despite the Attorney General’s request, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s position on the matter was not submitted.

    The law applies to the immediate family of [so-called] terrorists: parents, siblings, children, and spouses. Israeli citizens who meet the criteria will be deported for at least seven years and up to 15 years. Non-citizen deportees will face a minimum of 10 years and up to 20 years. Additionally, the police will have the authority to enforce deportations, “including the power to enter any premises, remove individuals, and use reasonable force.”

    NOTE: The use of the word “terrorist” for a group that resists occupation and oppression is a political, not fact-based choice. In reality, international law supports the efforts of resistance groups against an occupying power, the UN extending that right to the point of armed resistance. Hamas has clearly and openly stated that its enemy is not the Jewish people, but the supremacist ideology of Zionism – the ideology under which Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people and exiled them to Gaza and other locations.

    UN signals to Israel: Replacing UNRWA would be your responsibility

    The United Nations responded to Israel’s decision to cut ties with the Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA), by saying it has no responsibility to replace the agency’s operations in Gaza and the West Bank, signalling it was Israel’s problem as the occupying power, according to a letter excerpt seen by Reuters.

    Under a new law, Israel ended a 1967 cooperation agreement with UNRWA that covered the protection, movement and diplomatic immunity of the Agency. The law will also ban UNRWA’s operations in Israel from late January. UNRWA has said that its operations in Gaza and the West Bank are now at risk of collapse.

    “I would note, as a general point, that it is not our responsibility to replace UNRWA, nor do we have the capacity to do so,” UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres’ chef de cabinet, Courtenay Rattray, wrote to a senior Israeli foreign affairs official late on Tuesday.

    The mention of responsibility is a veiled reference to Israel’s obligations as an occupying power.

    The UN views Gaza and the West Bank as Israeli-occupied territory. International humanitarian law requires an occupying power to agree to relief programs for people in need and to facilitate them “by all the means at its disposal” and ensure food, medical care, hygiene and public health standards.

    NOTE: According to the Congressional Research Service, UNRWA’s budget for 2023 alone was $1.47 billion.

    Israeli Settler Kills Palestinian, Israeli Forces Kill Another

    Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man, on Wednesday night, injured several citizens and abducted others, during a prolonged military assault on the northern West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp.

    The Palestinian Health Ministry announced that the citizen, Abdullah Mohammad Saeed Saadi, 53, succumbed to a critical gunshot wound inflicted on him by occupation forces.

    The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that its ambulance crews transported a critically injured citizen to hospital for treatment, while sources at the Ibn Sina Hospital said that they received a seriously injured man who was shot in the thigh, later announcing his death.

    The PRCS added that occupation forces shot Saadi with three live rounds while he was in the “Hursh Al-Sa’ada” neighborhood in the western part of Jenin city.

    On Wednesday afternoon, an Israeli colonizer killed a Palestinian man after an alleged car-ramming attempt near the illegal “Shilo” colony, built on citizens’ lands northeast of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.

    The General Authority of Civil Affairs informed the Palestinian Health Ministry that the young man, Harith Khaled Abdullah Jabara, 32, succumbed to critical gunshot wounds during an alleged car-ramming attempt.

    The Health Ministry announced that occupation forces shot Jabara after his vehicle crashed at the entrance to the “Shilo” settlement, near the town of Turmus Ayya, injuring two Israeli colonizers.

    Israeli media reported that two Israeli settlers sustained minor injuries, while an armed colonizer shot and killed the suspect after he exited his vehicle.

    Since the beginning of the Israeli military onslaught against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, Israeli forces have killed 777 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 167 children, and injured 6,300.

    Election: In Dearborn, Rashida Tlaib Did Nearly Twice as Well as Kamala Harris

    Harris refused to distance herself from the Biden administration’s support of Israel’s war on Gaza. Tlaib railed against it.

    Voters in the biggest U.S. city with an Arab-majority population shifted decisively toward Donald Trump on Tuesday, in a stinging rebuke of the Biden administration’s policies in the Middle East.

    Trump claimed 43 percent of the vote in Dearborn, Michigan, to Kamala Harris’s 36 percent. Jill Stein claimed 15 percent of the vote in the city, where the Green Party had notched less than 1 percent in 2020.

    Trump’s margin of victory in Dearborn represents a massive reversal from the 2020 election, when Joe Biden won 69 percent to Trump’s 30.

    The huge shift toward Trump will not be decisive in a race where he cruised to a Electoral College victory without the help of Michigan, the state with the highest percentage of Arab Americans. The state had yet to be called Wednesday morning.

    Still, it was a telling sign of how completely the administration has lost Arab Americans over the war.

    Down-ballot results suggest that the move was motivated in large part by anger toward the Biden administration rather than dissatisfaction with Democratic policies overall.

    Letter to U of Minnesota admin protesting suspension of students for protesting Gaza War

    Dear President Cunningham and Colleagues:

    We write on behalf of the Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA) and its Committee on Academic Freedom to express our concern about the decision of the administration of the University of Minnesota (UMN) to indefinitely suspend eight students who participated in an occupation of a university building, Morrill Hall, on 21 October 2024.

    Whatever one thinks of the students’ action, we regard the university’s decision to bar them from classes, dormitories, dining halls and campus jobs as an unduly harsh sanction that violates their rights to education and sustenance.

    The fact that this sanction was imposed without the students having had the opportunity to defend their actions in a properly conducted disciplinary process makes it all the more egregious.

    The university’s actions in this regard seem aimed at deterring students from exercising the dictates of their conscience on matters of urgent public concern. They also contravene the University of Minnesota’s laudable tradition of countenancing contentious student protests…

    Middle East Eye: How Arab autocrats enabled Israel’s Gaza genocide




    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – NOVEMBER 6, 2024:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – November 6, 2024: at least 44,159* ( 43,391 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 778 in the West Bank (~166 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more in Gaza still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children).

    In July 2024, the Lancet said: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

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

    At least 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 – November 6, 2024: at least 108,647 (including at least 102,347 in Gaza and 6,300 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 – November 6, 2024: ~1,574 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 396*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza (most recent: Nov 2); 39 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

    The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is at least 3,050, with 13,658 injuries. An estimated 1.34 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.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”. He added that humanitarian aid would be allowed to “regularly” enter the south of the territory but not the north, since there are “no more civilians left”. International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon. (Read the full article here.) Israeli Strike on Home in Northern Gaza Kills 25, Including 13 Children An Israeli strike on a home in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, killed at least 25 Palestinians, including 13 children, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on Tuesday. Medical sources told WAFA that people are still missing under the rubble, meaning the death toll could rise. Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the director of the nearby Kamal Adwan Hospital, which has come under repeated Israeli attacks, said the home that was targeted was sheltering several displaced Palestinian families. According to The Associated Press, Israel claimed it targeted a weapons storage facility but, as usual, offered no evidence for the claim.

Palestinian officials say the continuous bombing “has caused the destruction of vast areas of agricultural land and contaminated soil with toxic chemicals, which will hinder agriculture in the enclave for decades.” Furthermore, the officials say Israeli attacks have caused significant damage to Gaza’s water sources, “causing polluted water to seep into groundwater basins, [posing] a health and environmental crisis that endangers hundreds of thousands of residents for future generations.” Earlier this year, the UN warned that removing tens of millions of tons of rubble left in the aftermath of Israel’s bombardment could take 15 years and cost between $500-600 million. Moreover, rebuilding destroyed homes could take at least until 2040. In economic terms, the UN Conference on Trade and Development said in a report released last month that if the war ends soon and Gaza returns to the status quo before 7 October 2023, it could take 350 years for its economy to return to its precarious prewar level.

In a statement, the Defense Ministry said the agreement, signed on Wednesday, is part of a broader aid package approved by the US administration and Congress earlier this year and includes an option for 25 additional aircraft. The jets will be “equipped with cutting-edge weapon systems” and integrated with advanced Israeli technologies, the statement said. According to the ministry, the upgraded aircraft will help the air force “maintain its strategic superiority in addressing current and future challenges in the Middle East.” Delivery of the aircraft will begin in 2031, with four to six aircraft to be supplied annually.

The Times of Israel added that reports appearing in Hebrew media earlier this year claimed that Netanyahu had been “attempting to keep his conversations regarding the management of the war in Gaza untraceable.” Senior figures in the security establishment allegedly fear that efforts were being made to edit the minutes of wartime discussions held with Netanyahu after discovering discrepancies between transcripts of the meetings and what officials in attendance had heard first-hand.

A temporary five-year provision was also passed, enabling the imprisonment of minors under 14 years of age who are convicted of homicide as part of a terror act. It was proposed by Likud lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky, and states that family members may be deported by the Interior Minister to to Gaza “or another destination determined by the circumstances” if it is found that they “knew in advance of the [so-called] terrorist’s plan and did not take necessary measures to prevent it.” The interior minister would also have the authority to deport a relative who “expressed support or sympathy for the act of [so-called] terrorism or published praise, admiration, or encouragement.” A decision on the deportation will be made after a hearing. The law, which was fast-tracked, is considered extreme, and the Attorney General’s office did not issue an opinion on it after a representative claimed that despite the Attorney General’s request, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s position on the matter was not submitted. The law applies to the immediate family of [so-called] terrorists: parents, siblings, children, and spouses. Israeli citizens who meet the criteria will be deported for at least seven years and up to 15 years. Non-citizen deportees will face a minimum of 10 years and up to 20 years. Additionally, the police will have the authority to enforce deportations, “including the power to enter any premises, remove individuals, and use reasonable force.” NOTE: The use of the word “terrorist” for a group that resists occupation and oppression is a political, not fact-based choice. In reality, international law supports the efforts of resistance groups against an occupying power, the UN extending that right to the point of armed resistance. Hamas has clearly and openly stated that its enemy is not the Jewish people, but the supremacist ideology of Zionism – the ideology under which Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people and exiled them to Gaza and other locations.

[Mostafa Alkharouf – Anadolu Agency] (Mostafa Alkharouf – Anadolu Agency) UN signals to Israel: Replacing UNRWA would be your responsibility The United Nations responded to Israel’s decision to cut ties with the Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA), by saying it has no responsibility to replace the agency’s operations in Gaza and the West Bank, signalling it was Israel’s problem as the occupying power, according to a letter excerpt seen by Reuters. Under a new law, Israel ended a 1967 cooperation agreement with UNRWA that covered the protection, movement and diplomatic immunity of the Agency. The law will also ban UNRWA’s operations in Israel from late January. UNRWA has said that its operations in Gaza and the West Bank are now at risk of collapse. “I would note, as a general point, that it is not our responsibility to replace UNRWA, nor do we have the capacity to do so,” UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres’ chef de cabinet, Courtenay Rattray, wrote to a senior Israeli foreign affairs official late on Tuesday. The mention of responsibility is a veiled reference to Israel’s obligations as an occupying power. The UN views Gaza and the West Bank as Israeli-occupied territory. International humanitarian law requires an occupying power to agree to relief programs for people in need and to facilitate them “by all the means at its disposal” and ensure food, medical care, hygiene and public health standards. NOTE: According to the Congressional Research Service, UNRWA’s budget for 2023 alone was $1.47 billion.

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced that the citizen, Abdullah Mohammad Saeed Saadi, 53, succumbed to a critical gunshot wound inflicted on him by occupation forces. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that its ambulance crews transported a critically injured citizen to hospital for treatment, while sources at the Ibn Sina Hospital said that they received a seriously injured man who was shot in the thigh, later announcing his death. The PRCS added that occupation forces shot Saadi with three live rounds while he was in the “Hursh Al-Sa’ada” neighborhood in the western part of Jenin city.

Tlaib railed against it. Voters in the biggest U.S. city with an Arab-majority population shifted decisively toward Donald Trump on Tuesday, in a stinging rebuke of the Biden administration’s policies in the Middle East. Trump claimed 43 percent of the vote in Dearborn, Michigan, to Kamala Harris’s 36 percent. Jill Stein claimed 15 percent of the vote in the city, where the Green Party had notched less than 1 percent in 2020. Trump’s margin of victory in Dearborn represents a massive reversal from the 2020 election, when Joe Biden won 69 percent to Trump’s 30. The huge shift toward Trump will not be decisive in a race where he cruised to a Electoral College victory without the help of Michigan, the state with the highest percentage of Arab Americans. The state had yet to be called Wednesday morning. Still, it was a telling sign of how completely the administration has lost Arab Americans over the war.

Letter to U of Minnesota admin protesting suspension of students for protesting Gaza War Dear President Cunningham and Colleagues: We write on behalf of the Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA) and its Committee on Academic Freedom to express our concern about the decision of the administration of the University of Minnesota (UMN) to indefinitely suspend eight students who participated in an occupation of a university building, Morrill Hall, on 21 October 2024. Whatever one thinks of the students’ action, we regard the university’s decision to bar them from classes, dormitories, dining halls and campus jobs as an unduly harsh sanction that violates their rights to education and sustenance. The fact that this sanction was imposed without the students having had the opportunity to defend their actions in a properly conducted disciplinary process makes it all the more egregious. The university’s actions in this regard seem aimed at deterring students from exercising the dictates of their conscience on matters of urgent public concern. They also contravene the University of Minnesota’s laudable tradition of countenancing contentious student protests… (Read the full letter here.)

  • In Dearborn, Rashida Tlaib Did Nearly Twice as Well as Kamala Harris

    Voters in the biggest U.S. city with an Arab-majority population shifted decisively toward Donald Trump on Tuesday, in a stinging rebuke of the Biden administration’s policies in the Middle East.

    Trump claimed 43 percent of the vote in Dearborn, Michigan, to Kamala Harris’s 36 percent. Jill Stein claimed 15 percent of the vote in the city, where the Green Party had notched less than 1 percent in 2020.

    Trump’s margin of victory in Dearborn represents a massive reversal from the 2020 election, when Joe Biden’s won 69 percent to Trump’s 30.

    The huge shift toward Trump will not be decisive in a race where he cruised to a Electoral College victory without the help of Michigan, the state with the highest percentage of Arab Americans. The state had yet to be called Wednesday morning. Still, it was a telling sign of how completely the administration has lost Arab Americans over the war.

    Down-ballot results suggest that the move was motivated in large part by anger toward the Biden administration rather than dissatisfaction with Democratic policies overall.

    “She bucked her Party’s leadership, because she refused to ignore the needs of her constituents — which in this case meant opposing a genocide.”
    Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a progressive Palestinian American, won 62 percent of the vote in Dearborn compared to Republican candidate James Hooper’s 30 percent. She was easily reelected to a fourth term.

    For observers, the contrast between Tlaib’s strong performance and Harris’s weakness is striking.

    “Working class voters across this country no longer see the Democratic Party as a Party that fights for their interests,” said Usamah Andrabi, the communications director of Justice Democrats, “and they saw Rashida Tlaib as someone who does for the very reason that she bucked her Party’s leadership, because she refused to ignore the needs of her constituents — which in this case meant opposing a genocide.”

    Most Read

    “That’s what putting democracy back at the center of the Democratic Party looks like,” Andrabi said. “Anything else is a betrayal to everyday people and they feel it.”

    Why the Turn?

    Some Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan had gone over to Trump because of their conservative values and culture-war alignment. A nationwide ad campaign attacked Harris for her support of trans people, often using misinformation, and the tack had been successful. The issue had helped Trump peel Arab and Muslim voters away from Democrats.

    Tlaib, though, took progressive stands on the issue, vocally supporting trans rights.

    “Even though social issues were there, a huge focus was on the Middle East and the war.”
    So what made Harris perform so poorly in comparison to Tlaib? One lightning rod stands out: Tlaib, a Palestinian American, has been one of the most vocal critics in Congress of Israel’s war on Gaza and, more recently, Lebanon.

    One prominent Lebanese American civic leader in Dearborn, Abed Hammoud, said he saw no contradiction in Trump and Tlaib — a social progressive — both winning the city because the election was a clear referendum on Israel’s assault against Gaza.

    “Even though social issues were there, a huge focus was on the Middle East and the war,” he said.

    The unofficial results for Dearborn track with The Intercept’s reporting on Arab and Muslim residents of Michigan during early voting. Many said they were lifelong Democrats who were turning to Trump out of a sense of dismay over the war in Gaza and the invasion of Lebanon.

    Trump has promised to let Israel “finish the job” in Gaza and supported inflammatory pro-Israel policies such as recognizing Jerusalem as its capital. Still, some voters said they wanted to give him a chance after more than a year of devastating war in Gaza — and in light of Harris’s refusal to break with Biden on the issue.

    Arab and Muslim Voters in Michigan: “I Can’t Overlook Genocide”

    In a statement, Nihad Awad, the national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the huge shift of votes to Trump could be attributed to Harris’s failure to take a stronger position on Gaza.

    “Rather than listening to the clear majority of American who support both a ceasefire and a suspension of weapons to Israel, Vice President Harris only struck a slightly more sympathetic tone toward Palestinians while sticking with the substance of President Biden’s disastrous stance,” said Awad. “This led to an unprecedented shift of support from Muslim, Arab, and other communities who traditionally vote for Democratic presidents.”

    “Very Hard Thing to Do”

    Trump campaigned aggressively for the Arab and Muslim vote in Michigan, paying several visits in the race’s final weeks to Hamtramck, which has an all-Muslim city council, and Dearborn. Trump cast himself as the peace candidate, and Awad called on him to follow through.

    “The president-elect should fulfill his campaign pledge to pursue peace abroad, including by ending the war on Gaza. However, this must be a real peace based on justice, freedom, and a state for the Palestinian people,” Awad said.

    Dearborn was a center of the national “Uncommitted” movement, which sought to push the administration to shift its policies toward Israel. Harris rejected Uncommitted’s campaign to have a Palestinian American speaker address the Democratic National Convention in August.

    David Dulio, a professor at Oakland University in Michigan, said that given such activism in the area, Trump’s overperformance was not entirely surprising.

    “We have known this has been a possibility for months going all the way back to the presidential primary when Uncommitted gets 100,00 votes statewide,” Dulio said. “We knew that this was a point of contention in these three Arab American communities. We knew that many people in those communities were not and are not happy with the current administration’s policy with respect to Israel and the war in Gaza.”

    Speaking at a press conference Wednesday, Uncommitted movement co-founder Abbas Alawieh said the people voting for Trump included his own family members.

    “Folks who voted for Trump are my cousins, my friends, people who were tasked with a very difficult task of carrying a lot of grief, and trying to do a politically savvy thing at the same time,” Alawieh said. “It’s a very hard thing to do.”

    Alawieh said he hoped the “gamble” of voting for Trump in an attempt to end the war will pay off, but he expected members of his movement to be organizing in the streets to pressure politicians of both major parties.

    “It’s going to be a tough road,” he said. “And for a lot of us, our activism, our organizing, might even be criminalized. And that’s a very grim prospect, but we’ve got to get going.”

One prominent Lebanese American civic leader in Dearborn, Abed Hammoud, said he saw no contradiction in Trump and Tlaib — a social progressive — both winning the city because the election was a clear referendum on Israel’s assault against Gaza. “Even though social issues were there, a huge focus was on the Middle East and the war,” he said. The unofficial results for Dearborn track with The Intercept’s reporting on Arab and Muslim residents of Michigan during early voting. Many said they were lifelong Democrats who were turning to Trump out of a sense of dismay over the war in Gaza and the invasion of Lebanon. Trump has promised to let Israel “finish the job” in Gaza and supported inflammatory pro-Israel policies such as recognizing Jerusalem as its capital. Still, some voters said they wanted to give him a chance after more than a year of devastating war in Gaza — and in light of Harris’s refusal to break with Biden on the issue. Related Arab and Muslim Voters in Michigan: “I Can’t Overlook Genocide” In a statement, Nihad Awad, the national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the huge shift of votes to Trump could be attributed to Harris’s failure to take a stronger position on Gaza. “Rather than listening to the clear majority of American who support both a ceasefire and a suspension of weapons to Israel, Vice President Harris only struck a slightly more sympathetic tone toward Palestinians while sticking with the substance of President Biden’s disastrous stance,” said Awad. “This led to an unprecedented shift of support from Muslim, Arab, and other communities who traditionally vote for Democratic presidents.” “Very Hard Thing to Do” Trump campaigned aggressively for the Arab and Muslim vote in Michigan, paying several visits in the race’s final weeks to Hamtramck, which has an all-Muslim city council, and Dearborn. Trump cast himself as the peace candidate, and Awad called on him to follow through. “The president-elect should fulfill his campaign pledge to pursue peace abroad, including by ending the war on Gaza. However, this must be a real peace based on justice, freedom, and a state for the Palestinian people,” Awad said. Dearborn was a center of the national “Uncommitted” movement, which sought to push the administration to shift its policies toward Israel. Harris rejected Uncommitted’s campaign to have a Palestinian American speaker address the Democratic National Convention in August. David Dulio, a professor at Oakland University in Michigan, said that given such activism in the area, Trump’s overperformance was not entirely surprising. “We have known this has been a possibility for months going all the way back to the presidential primary when Uncommitted gets 100,00 votes statewide,” Dulio said. “We knew that this was a point of contention in these three Arab American communities. We knew that many people in those communities were not and are not happy with the current administration’s policy with respect to Israel and the war in Gaza.” Speaking at a press conference Wednesday, Uncommitted movement co-founder Abbas Alawieh said the people voting for Trump included his own family members. “Folks who voted for Trump are my cousins, my friends, people who were tasked with a very difficult task of carrying a lot of grief, and trying to do a politically savvy thing at the same time,” Alawieh said. “It’s a very hard thing to do.” Alawieh said he hoped the “gamble” of voting for Trump in an attempt to end the war will pay off, but he expected members of his movement to be organizing in the streets to pressure politicians of both major parties. “It’s going to be a tough road,” he said. “And for a lot of us, our activism, our organizing, might even be criminalized. And that’s a very grim prospect, but we’ve got to get going.” https://theintercept.com/2024/11/06/dearborn-michigan-rashida-tlaib-kamala-harris-gaza/

  • After Trump win, RFK Jr. says he won't 'take away anybody's vaccines'
    Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who will meet with senior Trump aides Wednesday to discuss his role going forward, said he would eliminate the nutrition departments at the FDA.

    Nov. 7, 2024, 2:17 AM GMT+8

    WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who may play a key role overseeing public health issues in a second Trump administration, said Wednesday that he wouldn't “take away anybody's vaccines.”

    Asked said in an interview with NBC News whether there are specific vaccines that he would remove from the market, Kennedy rejected the idea that he's "anti-vaccine" despite his repeated claims about vaccines' being linked to autism — and his involvement with Children's Health Defense, a leading anti-vaccine group. He reiterated that he wouldn't take them away from Americans.

    He will meet with senior Trump aides Wednesday to discuss his role going forward. Kennedy said they hadn’t decided yet what his job in the new administration would be, but he didn’t rule out secretary of health and human services and also floated the idea of being a "White House health czar."

    "If vaccines are working for somebody, I’m not going to take them away. People ought to have choice, and that choice ought to be informed by the best information," he said. "So I’m going to make sure scientific safety studies and efficacy are out there, and people can make individual assessments about whether that product is going to be good for them."

    Three days before the election, Trump hadn't ruled out whether he would ban certain vaccines. “Well, I’m going to talk to him [Kennedy] and talk to other people, and I’ll make a decision, but he’s a very talented guy and has strong views,” Trump told NBC News.

    Jennifer Kates, director of the Global Health & HIV Policy Program at KFF, a health policy research group, said that even if Trump wanted to ban vaccines, it's unlikely he would have the power to do so, adding that states, not the federal government, have the authority to mandate or limit vaccines.

    Trump, however, could change the process for determining which vaccines are recommended for insurance coverage, including those on the routine childhood vaccination schedule, Kates said. Insurers base their coverage on recommendations from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

    “If RFK or others in a Trump administration question or reject this evidence, seek to change this system or otherwise pressure states to make different decisions, it could sow confusion and doubt, result in reduced requirements and end up driving down already lowering vaccination rates among kids,” Kates said.

    Asked about his warnings about the Covid vaccines that were fast-tracked and approved during the pandemic, Kennedy said he was saying at the time that the shots wouldn't prevent transmission.

    "I knew in May of 2020 that the vaccines were not going to protect against transmission because I was actually reading the monkey studies," said Kennedy, who added that while he wouldn't have "directly blocked it," he would have been "honest" with the public about the vaccines to ensure it relied on the best science. "There was no effort to do that at that time."

    Kennedy said Trump has tasked him in a second administration with cleaning up the corruption of federal agencies, returning agencies to "the gold standard science, the empirically based evidence," and to "end the chronic disease epidemic." He said, for example, that he would address the ingredients in America's food that "are illegal in Europe" and other countries and "making our kids sick."

    He said he would address corruption by clearing out departments of federal workers who he believes haven't been doing their jobs — "entire departments," in some cases. Kennedy said the nutrition departments at the Food and Drug Administration "have to go" because its workers are "not doing their job."

    "They're not protecting our kids. Why do we have Fruit Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it's got two or three?" he said.

    Kennedy also spoke about his concerns about fluoride in the nation's water supply. Fluoridated water has been heralded by major public health groups who point to studies saying it reduced tooth decay by at least 25%.

    He said that while he wouldn't force its removal, he would advise water districts "about their legal liability" to protect constituents. Major medical associations support water fluoridation, saying it's safe and has benefits.

    Asked what it was like to be a Kennedy at a Republican White House victory party Tuesday night, he said: “Unusual. I never thought I would be here.” Kennedy said he chose to endorse Trump because the two men believed they were stronger together.

    "Essentially, he said to me, 'Let’s unify our parties, because the landscapes on which we agree are much larger than those issues on which we disagree,'" Kennedy said.

    At least 56 people have been killed in Gaza in several Israeli strikes, including at least 20 in Jabalia refugee camp.

    Israel blocks World Health Org evacuation of sick children in northern Gaza: Health Ministry

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    The Israeli army blocked a World Health Organization (WHO) delegation from evacuating sick children from hospitals in northern Gaza amid the worsening situation due to ongoing military operations in the area, now in their sixth day, a senior Gaza health official said Friday.

    A health ministry spokesperson said, “The army turned back the WHO delegation tasked with evacuating intensive care patients and children from northern hospitals.”

    He added that Israeli attacks and blocking of fuel trucks are putting the hospitals at risk of halting operations.

    The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also revealed on Friday that all its ambulances in northern Gaza were forced to stop over the lack of fuel due to the Israeli army’s incursion and siege for the sixth consecutive day.

    World Food Program warns of famine threat in Gaza as winter approaches

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    The World Food Program (WFP) warned Thursday that the threat of famine persists in Gaza amid tragedy and suffering in the Palestinian enclave.

    There are around 100,000 tons of food waiting to enter Gaza – enough to feed over a million people for five months – but according to WFP, the closure of crossing points, security issues and route disruptions at crossings are limiting aid delivery.

    WFP warned that one million people risk losing vital support if the flow of assistance does not resume.

    “As another winter approaches, every day is a struggle for survival. Hunger remains rampant and the threat of famine persists,” the UN agency said on X.

    Four Days in Gaza: Five Journalists Killed or Wounded

    The Intercept reports:

    On Wednesday, a group of journalists were covering the siege in northern Gaza, when they were attacked. Witnesses said the journalists were targeted.

    Like other Palestinian journalists who have been killed and injured in Gaza, Fadi al-Hawidi, a cameraman for Al Jazeera Arabic, was wearing a flak jacket with the word “PRESS” clearly visible on it.

    In his last post on Instagram before he was shot, al-Hawidi filmed himself as he reported on civilians being shot at by Israeli forces while attempting to leave the area in compliance with the military’s orders. Unarmed people can be seen running as gunfire rings in the background.

    One of the other journalists described what happened: “Suddenly a quadcopter drone appeared above the broadcast vehicle and the place where we were, and it started firing directly at us.

    “The drone started chasing us and the entire crew, firing directly at us. A bullet hit my colleague Fadi’s neck and he immediately passed out and fell to the ground.”

    According to his colleagues, Fadi is now permanently paralyzed due to his injuries.

    A spokesman for the Israeli military told The Intercept, “The IDF is not aware of the incident referred to. The IDF has never, and will never, deliberately target journalists.”

    Below is a short video of one of the first Israeli attacks on journalists in this war: Dylan Collins’ video testimony of the targeted IDF attack on October 13, 2023.



    WATCH: American Journalist Could Face Death Penalty for Reporting in Israel




    UPDATE: According to The Intercept, Jeremy Loffredo was released from prison Friday morning by Israeli authorities after four days in Israeli detention, but was ordered to remain in the country until October 20, allowing investigators more time to bring additional allegations or to further interrogate him.

    Israeli police had held Loffredo, an independent journalist from New York, on suspicion of assisting an enemy in war, a serious allegation that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or death, his attorney said.

    In his reporting, he showed the locations of several Iranian missiles that had landed inside Israel earlier this month. As was the case with other media outlets, some of Loffredo’s footage was shot near sensitive Israeli sites.

    Israeli forces again attack UNIFIL in southern Lebanon, peacekeepers injured

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Israeli forces on Friday launched another attack on the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) headquarters in southern Lebanon, injuring several Sri Lankan peacekeepers stationed there.

    An Israeli Merkava tank reportedly targeted one of UNIFIL’s observation towers on a main road, in front of a Lebanese Army checkpoint, injuring the Sri Lankan contingent stationed there.

    Israeli artillery fired a shell that struck the main entrance of the UNIFIL command center, causing damage to the site. This was the second attack on the location in three days.

    According to legal experts, recent Israeli attacks on the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) constitute a serious violation of international law.

    AL JAZEERA ADDS: The Israeli military says it is “conducting a thorough review” to determine details of attacks on UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon: “The [Israeli military] expresses deep concern over incidents of this kind and is currently conducting a thorough review at the highest levels of command to determine the details,” the army said in a statement.

    NOTE: Israel’s self-investigations consistently whitewash its crimes and fail to appropriately punish the perpetrators. Israeli sources, including the government itself, have a long track record of lying (for example, this and this and this.)

    WATCH: 254 days after Hind Rajab’s murder, Biden admin says Israel can investigate itself

    From Middle East Monitor:

    Zeteo News’ Prem Thakker asked US Secretary of State spokesperson Matthew Miller how Washington can continue to arm Israel when its investigations into misconduct by its soldiers keep being closed without anyone being held to account.

    Miller said it’s not for the US ‘to adjudicate’ over what information Tel Aviv issues is accurate.



    US officials continue to see Israel’s operation across Lebanese border as ‘limited’: Pentagon

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Israel is conducting a “limited” operation across the Lebanese border to remove the Hezbollah group’s infrastructure, the Pentagon said Thursday.

    “All indications that we have right now are that Israel continues to conduct limited ground operations across the border to remove Hezbollah attack infrastructure,” Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters.

    Israel has been mounting massive airstrikes across Lebanon against what it claims are Hezbollah targets since Sept. 23 that have killed more than 1,323 people and injured nearly 3,700.



    US expands sanctions against Iran following attack on Israel


    In the context of Israel’s siege on northern Gaza, shooting civilians and journalists, blocking healthcare for critically ill children, attacking peacekeeping forces, and other actions – the US has chosen to sanction Iran.

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    The US expanded sanctions on Iran’s petroleum and petrochemical sectors in response to Iran’s Oct. 1 attack on Israel, the Treasury Department said on Friday.

    “This action intensifies financial pressure on Iran, limiting the regime’s ability to earn critical energy revenues to undermine stability in the region and attack U.S. partners and allies,” the department said in a statement.

    “As long as Iran devotes its energy revenues to funding attacks on our allies, supporting terrorism around the world, and pursuing other destabilizing actions, we will continue to use all the tools at our disposal to hold it accountable.

    “These measures will be reinforced by ongoing close coordination with partners and allies to address and counter Iran’s actions,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.

    US military veteran arrested by Israeli forces in occupied West Bank

    Middle East Eye reports:

    United States citizen and military veteran, Michael Jacobsen, was arrested Thursday by Israeli forces while accompanying a Palestinian farmer in a village in the West Bank, according to the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).

    The ISM said the farmer was facing “daily harassment, attacks, and invasions of his private land by Israeli settlers and occupation forces”.

    Israeli police arrested Jacobsen and took him into custody at the interrogation center created by Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. ISM explained that Israel has a policy of silencing international activists, who often raise awareness of the plight of Palestinians.

    Police said Jacobsen was “endangering the public due to provocation of disturbances” and accused him of entering the country illegally because they suspected him of supporting the Palestinian-led Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment (BDS) movement – which is forbidden in Israel.

    Jacobsen was threatened with “imprisonment and deportation if he did not leave the country immediately”, according to the ISM, and he chose to leave for Jordan.

    The US won’t run for another term on UN human rights council. Israel is likely why.

    Kenneth Roth writes for the Guardian:

    Something unusual happened this week at the UN: the US government decided not to run for a second term on the human rights council.

    Various rationales are circulating, but one, in my view, looms large: Israel. Or more to the point, Joe Biden’s refusal to suspend or condition the massive US arms sales and military aid to Israel as its military bombs and starves the Palestinian civilians of Gaza.

    The election for the 47-member human rights council in Geneva is conducted by the UN general assembly in New York.

    It is rare that the UN general assembly has the chance to vote on the US government’s conduct. Given widespread outrage at Israeli war crimes in Gaza – and at Biden’s refusal to use the enormous leverage of US arms sales and military aid to stop it – that vote could easily have resulted in an overwhelming repudiation of the Biden administration. Rather than face the possibility of a humiliating reprimand, the US government withdrew its candidacy.

    By virtue of its diplomatic and economic power, the US government can be an important force for human rights. Other than on Israel, its presence on the council has generally helped the defense of human rights.

    But US credibility, already compromised by Washington’s close alliances with the repressive likes of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, has been profoundly undermined by Biden’s aiding and abetting of Israeli war crimes in Gaza. With Biden seemingly constitutionally unable to change, the defense of human rights is taking a hit.

    Germany to supply Israel with new arms shipments

    Middle East Monitor reports:

    German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has announced that Berlin will deliver new shipments of weapons to Israel.

    This is in contrast to French President Emmanuel Macron who has called for a halt to any arms supplies to the occupation state if they are to be used in Gaza.

    Speaking before the Bundestag during discussions marking the first anniversary of 7 October 2023, Scholz said: “We in the government have made decisions that will ensure the delivery of more weapons soon.”

    “We have not decided to cease arms deliveries,” Scholz added, addressing claims from the opposition that the government paused weapons shipments to Tel Aviv for months, causing a “breach in German solidarity” with Israel.

    The German chancellor further stated, “We have delivered weapons and will continue to deliver weapons,” without specifying their type, quantity, or intended purpose.

    Iraqi resistance warns of crippling oil shortages worldwide if Israel begins ‘energy war’

    The Cradle reports:

    A leader of a major faction in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has warned that if Israel begins a war that involves the energy sector, the world will lose 12 million barrels per day, “and this is what we will make sure of.”

    Abu Ali al-Askari, the head of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades Security Bureau, stated: “This is what we will be taking care of, but only God knows what our brethren in Yemen will do in Bab al-Mandab and our brethren in Iran will do in the Strait of Hormuz,” referring to important shipping routes for oil tankers.

    Israeli leaders have threatened to launch a massive attack against Iran, including against nuclear power and oil infrastructure.

    Askari warned further that the resistance’s response “will not be limited to Israel, but will extend to Washington’s bases and interests in Iraq and the region.”

    Some analysts believe that oil prices, currently around $80 per barrel, could reach more than $300 per barrel in the case of a full blockade of the Gulf of Hormuz.

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – OCTOBER 11, 2024:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 11, 2024: at least 42,926* ( 42,175 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 751 in the West Bank (~164 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more in Gaza 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 11, 2024: at least 104,536 (including at least 98,336 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 11, 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 2,169 and 10,212 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.

Israel blocks World Health Org evacuation of sick children in northern Gaza: Health Ministry Anadolu Agency reports: The Israeli army blocked a World Health Organization (WHO) delegation from evacuating sick children from hospitals in northern Gaza amid the worsening situation due to ongoing military operations in the area, now in their sixth day, a senior Gaza health official said Friday. A health ministry spokesperson said, “The army turned back the WHO delegation tasked with evacuating intensive care patients and children from northern hospitals.” He added that Israeli attacks and blocking of fuel trucks are putting the hospitals at risk of halting operations. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also revealed on Friday that all its ambulances in northern Gaza were forced to stop over the lack of fuel due to the Israeli army’s incursion and siege for the sixth consecutive day. Dozens of ambulances are destroyed during the Israeli raids on Nasser Hospital as the repairmen try to provide parts from ambulances that are out of use and put them into use again as the Israeli attacks continue in Khan Yunis, Gaza on October 9, 2024 Dozens of ambulances are destroyed during the Israeli raids on Nasser Hospital as the repairmen try to provide parts from ambulances that are out of use and put them into use again as the Israeli attacks continue in Khan Yunis, Gaza on October 9, 2024 (Abed Rahim Khatib/Anadolu Agency]) World Food Program warns of famine threat in Gaza as winter approaches Anadolu Agency reports: The World Food Program (WFP) warned Thursday that the threat of famine persists in Gaza amid tragedy and suffering in the Palestinian enclave. There are around 100,000 tons of food waiting to enter Gaza – enough to feed over a million people for five months – but according to WFP, the closure of crossing points, security issues and route disruptions at crossings are limiting aid delivery. WFP warned that one million people risk losing vital support if the flow of assistance does not resume. “As another winter approaches, every day is a struggle for survival. Hunger remains rampant and the threat of famine persists,” the UN agency said on X. (Click to enlarge.) Four Days in Gaza: Five Journalists Killed or Wounded The Intercept reports: On Wednesday, a group of journalists were covering the siege in northern Gaza, when they were attacked. Witnesses said the journalists were targeted. Like other Palestinian journalists who have been killed and injured in Gaza, Fadi al-Hawidi, a cameraman for Al Jazeera Arabic, was wearing a flak jacket with the word “PRESS” clearly visible on it. In his last post on Instagram before he was shot, al-Hawidi filmed himself as he reported on civilians being shot at by Israeli forces while attempting to leave the area in compliance with the military’s orders. Unarmed people can be seen running as gunfire rings in the background. One of the other journalists described what happened: “Suddenly a quadcopter drone appeared above the broadcast vehicle and the place where we were, and it started firing directly at us. “The drone started chasing us and the entire crew, firing directly at us. A bullet hit my colleague Fadi’s neck and he immediately passed out and fell to the ground.” According to his colleagues, Fadi is now permanently paralyzed due to his injuries. A spokesman for the Israeli military told The Intercept, “The IDF is not aware of the incident referred to. The IDF has never, and will never, deliberately target journalists.” (Read the full story here.) Below is a short video of one of the first Israeli attacks on journalists in this war: Dylan Collins’ video testimony of the targeted IDF attack on October 13, 2023. WATCH: American Journalist Could Face Death Penalty for Reporting in Israel UPDATE: According to The Intercept, Jeremy Loffredo was released from prison Friday morning by Israeli authorities after four days in Israeli detention, but was ordered to remain in the country until October 20, allowing investigators more time to bring additional allegations or to further interrogate him. Israeli police had held Loffredo, an independent journalist from New York, on suspicion of assisting an enemy in war, a serious allegation that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or death, his attorney said. In his reporting, he showed the locations of several Iranian missiles that had landed inside Israel earlier this month. As was the case with other media outlets, some of Loffredo’s footage was shot near sensitive Israeli sites. Israeli forces again attack UNIFIL in southern Lebanon, peacekeepers injured Anadolu Agency reports: Israeli forces on Friday launched another attack on the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) headquarters in southern Lebanon, injuring several Sri Lankan peacekeepers stationed there. An Israeli Merkava tank reportedly targeted one of UNIFIL’s observation towers on a main road, in front of a Lebanese Army checkpoint, injuring the Sri Lankan contingent stationed there. Israeli artillery fired a shell that struck the main entrance of the UNIFIL command center, causing damage to the site. This was the second attack on the location in three days. According to legal experts, recent Israeli attacks on the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) constitute a serious violation of international law. AL JAZEERA ADDS: The Israeli military says it is “conducting a thorough review” to determine details of attacks on UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon: “The [Israeli military] expresses deep concern over incidents of this kind and is currently conducting a thorough review at the highest levels of command to determine the details,” the army said in a statement. NOTE: Israel’s self-investigations consistently whitewash its crimes and fail to appropriately punish the perpetrators. Israeli sources, including the government itself, have a long track record of lying (for example, this and this and this.)

Miller said it’s not for the US ‘to adjudicate’ over what information Tel Aviv issues is accurate. US officials continue to see Israel’s operation across Lebanese border as ‘limited’: Pentagon Anadolu Agency reports: Israel is conducting a “limited” operation across the Lebanese border to remove the Hezbollah group’s infrastructure, the Pentagon said Thursday. “All indications that we have right now are that Israel continues to conduct limited ground operations across the border to remove Hezbollah attack infrastructure,” Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters. Israel has been mounting massive airstrikes across Lebanon against what it claims are Hezbollah targets since Sept. 23 that have killed more than 1,323 people and injured nearly 3,700. US expands sanctions against Iran following attack on Israel In the context of Israel’s siege on northern Gaza, shooting civilians and journalists, blocking healthcare for critically ill children, attacking peacekeeping forces, and other actions – the US has chosen to sanction Iran. Anadolu Agency reports: The US expanded sanctions on Iran’s petroleum and petrochemical sectors in response to Iran’s Oct. 1 attack on Israel, the Treasury Department said on Friday. “This action intensifies financial pressure on Iran, limiting the regime’s ability to earn critical energy revenues to undermine stability in the region and attack U.S. partners and allies,” the department said in a statement. “As long as Iran devotes its energy revenues to funding attacks on our allies, supporting terrorism around the world, and pursuing other destabilizing actions, we will continue to use all the tools at our disposal to hold it accountable. “These measures will be reinforced by ongoing close coordination with partners and allies to address and counter Iran’s actions,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. US military veteran arrested by Israeli forces in occupied West Bank Middle East Eye reports: United States citizen and military veteran, Michael Jacobsen, was arrested Thursday by Israeli forces while accompanying a Palestinian farmer in a village in the West Bank, according to the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). The ISM said the farmer was facing “daily harassment, attacks, and invasions of his private land by Israeli settlers and occupation forces”. Israeli police arrested Jacobsen and took him into custody at the interrogation center created by Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. ISM explained that Israel has a policy of silencing international activists, who often raise awareness of the plight of Palestinians. Police said Jacobsen was “endangering the public due to provocation of disturbances” and accused him of entering the country illegally because they suspected him of supporting the Palestinian-led Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment (BDS) movement – which is forbidden in Israel. Jacobsen was threatened with “imprisonment and deportation if he did not leave the country immediately”, according to the ISM, and he chose to leave for Jordan. The moments before Israeli police arrest Michael Jacobsen in Masafer Yatta in occupied West Bank, on 10 October 2024 The moments before Israeli police arrest Michael Jacobsen in Masafer Yatta in occupied West Bank, on 10 October 2024 (International Solidarity Movement) The US won’t run for another term on UN human rights council. Israel is likely why. Kenneth Roth writes for the Guardian: Something unusual happened this week at the UN: the US government decided not to run for a second term on the human rights council. Various rationales are circulating, but one, in my view, looms large: Israel. Or more to the point, Joe Biden’s refusal to suspend or condition the massive US arms sales and military aid to Israel as its military bombs and starves the Palestinian civilians of Gaza. The election for the 47-member human rights council in Geneva is conducted by the UN general assembly in New York. It is rare that the UN general assembly has the chance to vote on the US government’s conduct. Given widespread outrage at Israeli war crimes in Gaza – and at Biden’s refusal to use the enormous leverage of US arms sales and military aid to stop it – that vote could easily have resulted in an overwhelming repudiation of the Biden administration. Rather than face the possibility of a humiliating reprimand, the US government withdrew its candidacy. By virtue of its diplomatic and economic power, the US government can be an important force for human rights. Other than on Israel, its presence on the council has generally helped the defense of human rights. But US credibility, already compromised by Washington’s close alliances with the repressive likes of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, has been profoundly undermined by Biden’s aiding and abetting of Israeli war crimes in Gaza. With Biden seemingly constitutionally unable to change, the defense of human rights is taking a hit. Germany to supply Israel with new arms shipments Middle East Monitor reports: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has announced that Berlin will deliver new shipments of weapons to Israel. This is in contrast to French President Emmanuel Macron who has called for a halt to any arms supplies to the occupation state if they are to be used in Gaza. Speaking before the Bundestag during discussions marking the first anniversary of 7 October 2023, Scholz said: “We in the government have made decisions that will ensure the delivery of more weapons soon.” “We have not decided to cease arms deliveries,” Scholz added, addressing claims from the opposition that the government paused weapons shipments to Tel Aviv for months, causing a “breach in German solidarity” with Israel. The German chancellor further stated, “We have delivered weapons and will continue to deliver weapons,” without specifying their type, quantity, or intended purpose. Iraqi resistance warns of crippling oil shortages worldwide if Israel begins ‘energy war’ The Cradle reports: A leader of a major faction in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has warned that if Israel begins a war that involves the energy sector, the world will lose 12 million barrels per day, “and this is what we will make sure of.” Abu Ali al-Askari, the head of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades Security Bureau, stated: “This is what we will be taking care of, but only God knows what our brethren in Yemen will do in Bab al-Mandab and our brethren in Iran will do in the Strait of Hormuz,” referring to important shipping routes for oil tankers. Israeli leaders have threatened to launch a massive attack against Iran, including against nuclear power and oil infrastructure. Askari warned further that the resistance’s response “will not be limited to Israel, but will extend to Washington’s bases and interests in Iraq and the region.” Some analysts believe that oil prices, currently around $80 per barrel, could reach more than $300 per barrel in the case of a full blockade of the Gulf of Hormuz.

    At least 45 Palestinians were killed and 130 were injured in three massacres of families in the last 24 hours, the Health Ministry in Gaza said on Wednesday.

    On Wednesday, at least 10 Palestinians were killed when Israeli forces bombed the tents of displaced people in Jabaliya.

    The reality in northern Gaza: witnesses report a bloodbath

    From Mondoweiss:

    The following are some eyewitness reports from residents of Jabaliya, where the Israeli army surrounded the area and launched a surprise invasion on Sunday morning, coinciding with the first anniversary of October 7. Roughly 200,000 Palestinians are under siege; the hospitals in the vicinity are under evacuation orders.

    Most residents could not [or would not] evacuate and were locked in their homes with very little available for them to survive.

    One family that evacuated carrying a white flag found themselves under fire from quadcopter attack drones. The father and one son were killed; the rest of the family took shelter. What they saw was “like a horror movie.”

    The road was filled with dead bodies, and “dismembered bodies strewn across the streets.”

    “My cousin came the second night and joined us in the shelter,” Raneem explains. “They said that people lay dead at their homes’ front doors and in the street,” killed as they tried to follow evacuation orders.

    The Civil Defense in Gaza has reported several massacres perpetrated by the Israeli army during the ongoing invasion of Jabalia, although rescue workers have been unable to tally an exact number of casualties due to difficulties accessing the area.

    (Read the full report here.)

    Local journalist Hossam Shabat, living and working in northern Gaza, confirmed the above descriptions:

    Israeli occupation forces have asked all residents of northern Gaza (300k+) to evacuate as a means of ethnically cleansing North Gaza .

    However, they then besieged Jabalia refugee camp, and when people tried to leave, they were shot at by snipers.

    Many residents are on the streets, bleeding, as Israeli forces have destroyed ambulances and are targeting anyone who tries to help.

    The situation in the north is horrific and very dangerous; there are currently hundreds of thousands trapped, and the shelling is nonstop.

    US: former White House advisor urges Israel to ‘carpet bomb’ Irish peacekeepers in Lebanon

    Middle East Monitor reports:

    Former White House advisor Matthew Brodsky has urged Israel to drop napalm on Irish peacekeepers in South Lebanon, sparking outrage and concern over the ideological stance of individuals advising the US administration on Israel and Palestine.

    UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon) has some 10,000 peacekeepers in south Lebanon, including members of the Irish Defense Forces. All UNIFIL personnel are distinguishable by their blue helmets and white vehicles.

    Brodsky, a Senior Fellow at the Gold Institute for International Strategy and former Director of Policy at the Jewish Policy Centre, posted a shocking tweet on X stating: “Israel should carpet bomb the Irish area and then drop napalm over it.”

    The tweet, which has since been deleted, included a map showing the deployment of Ireland’s peacekeeping force in Southern Lebanon.

    The comment has been condemned widely, with many questioning the appropriateness of having individuals with such extreme views in advisory roles within the US government.

    Brodsky’s comments come at a time of heightened tensions in the region and have raised concerns about the influence of hard-line Zionist ideologues on US foreign policy.

    Critics have accused Brodsky, who has lived and studied in Israel, of promoting Jewish supremacism. This incident has reignited debates about the prevalence of extremist ideologies within US political circles and their potential impact on diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.

    NOTE: According to his website, Matthew Brodsky has worked for over two decades in U.S. foreign policy and national security. He has briefed members of Congress, Department of State, Department of Defense, and the National Security Council on Iran, Syria, and Palestinian-Israeli issues.

    New York Times: American doctors who volunteered in Gaza report massive number of children shot in the head

    Some eyewitness accounts from the New York Times:

    At least 44 doctors, nurses and paramedics saw multiple cases of preteen children who had been shot in the head or chest in Gaza.

    Dr. Mohamad Rassoul Abu-Nuwar, General, bariatric and foregut surgeon, 36 years old, Pittsburgh, Pa.

    “One night in the emergency department, over the course of four hours, I saw six children between the ages of 5 and 12, all with single gunshot wounds to the skull.”

    Rania Afaneh, Paramedic, 23 years old, Savannah, Ga.

    “I saw a child who had been shot in the jaw. No other part of his body was affected. He was fully awake and aware of what was going on. He stared at me while he choked on his own blood as I tried to suction the blood out with a broken suction unit.”

    Dr. Khawaja Ikram, Orthopedic surgeon, 53 years old, Dallas, Texas

    “One day, while in the E.R., I saw a 3-year-old and 5-year-old, each with a single bullet hole to their head. When asked what happened, their father and brother said they had been told that Israel was backing out of Khan Younis. So they returned to see if anything was left of their house. There was, they said, a sniper waiting who shot both children.”

    Dr. Ahlia Kattan, Anesthesiologist and critical care doctor, 37 years old, Costa Mesa, Calif.

    “I saw an 18-month-old little girl with a gunshot wound to the head.”

    Dr. Nidal Farah, Anesthesiologist, 42 years old, Toledo, Ohio

    “I saw many children. In my experience the gunshot wound was often to the head. Many had non-curable, permanent brain damage. It was almost a daily occurrence to have children arrive at the hospital with gunshot wounds to the head.”

    Times Opinion sent questions about the experiences of these American health care workers to the Israel Defense Forces. A spokesperson for the I.D.F. responded with a statement that did not directly answer whether or not the military had investigated reports of shootings of preteen children, or if any disciplinary action had been taken against soldiers for firing at children.

    The statement began, “The I.D.F. is committed to mitigating civilian harm during operational activity. In that spirit, the I.D.F. makes great efforts to estimate and consider potential civilian collateral damage in its strikes. The I.D.F. is fully committed to respecting all applicable international legal obligations, including the Law of Armed Conflict.”

    NOTE: Israeli sources, including the government itself, have a long track record of lying (for example, this and this and this.)

    Israel’s self-investigations consistently whitewash its crimes and fail to appropriately punish the perpetrators.

    These photographs of X-rays were provided by Dr. Mimi Syed, who worked in Khan Younis from Aug. 8 to Sept. 5. She said: “I had multiple pediatric patients, mostly under the age of 12, who were shot in the head or the left side of the chest. Usually, these were single shots. The patients came in either dead or critical, and died shortly after arriving.”

    Israel detains US journalist reporting on damage to its military bases

    Middle East Monitor reports:

    Israel has detained American Grayzone journalist Jeremy Loffredo while he was on assignment in Israel.

    According to social media posts, Loffredo was detained on Tuesday along with four other journalists who were “beaten, blindfolded, and taken to an Israeli military base.” They also had their phones confiscated.

    Loffredo remains in custody, while the others, including Andrey X, were released 11 hours later.

    Loffredo’s last video posted on X reported the damage caused by the Iranian missile strikes on Israel’s military sites on 1 October.

    Social media users believe this is the reason for his detention as no local news organisations have covered the damage from the attack.


    Netanyahu says it will be Lebanese civilians’ fault if Israel destroys Lebanon

    Various agencies report:

    Once again, Israel is setting the stage for massive civilian casualties – this time in Lebanon – and placing the blame for it squarely on the civilians’ shoulders. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu released a video statement Tuesday, calling on the people of Lebanon to “free [their] country from Hezbollah,” threatening them with “destruction and suffering” if they refused to do so.

    “You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza. It doesn’t have to be that way,” Netanyahu said, as his country’s air force continued to launch non-stop raids across Lebanon.

    Israeli officials have been saying they’re going to destroy Lebanon like they destroyed Gaza for months.

    Back in December Israel’s defense minister Yoav Gallant said, “Every person in Lebanon can take the map, the aerial photograph of Gaza, place it on an aerial photograph of Beirut, and ask themselves if this is what they want to happen there.”

    Now Netanyahu himself is saying this.

    Notably, Netanyahu’s statement was delivered in English, with English subtitles. This wasn’t actually a plea made to the people of Lebanon, it was propaganda made for western consumption.

    Netanyahu does not actually believe the Lebanese people are going to take up arms against Hezbollah to stop their country from being destroyed, he’s just creating a narrative to justify what he already plans on doing to Lebanon.

    And the US is encouraging Israel to move forward. On Tuesday State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller told the press that the Biden administration no longer supports a ceasefire with Hezbollah, saying “We support Israel’s efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s capability” instead.

    Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s threats toward Lebanon, the US on Wednesday warned that the situation there must not turn into something resembling the situation the Gaza Strip, where more than 42,000 people have been killed in the last year.

    “We cannot and must not see the situation in Lebanon turn into anything like the situation in Gaza. That would, of course, not be acceptable,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.


    Ben Gvir oversees violent raid against Palestinians inside Ofer Prison

    Palestine Chronicle reports:

    A pre-dawn raid on Ofer prison on Monday saw police officers using stun grenades and dogs. In the footage shared by Ben-Gvir on X, detainees are seen handcuffed, and being violently moved around inside the prison, and several are seen laying face down on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs.

    “With zero tolerance and a heavy hand – this is how the prison fighters work with the animals of prey from the Nohba terrorists. I back them up!” Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said alongside the footage.

    Historic Int’l Criminal Court War Crimes Complaint Names 1,000 Israeli Soldiers

    Common Dreams reports:

    A Belgium-based advocacy group on Tuesday announced it “filed an unprecedented and historic complaint with the International Criminal Court against 1,000 Israeli occupation forces soldiers for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza,” where more than 150,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded and millions more displaced, starved, and sickened by Israel’s yearlong onslaught.

    The Hind Rajab Foundation—named after the 6-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in January along with half a dozen relatives and rescue workers by Israeli troops invading Gaza in retaliation for the October 2023 Hamas-led attack—said that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) personnel identified by name in the International Criminal Court (ICC) complaint “are accused of participating in systematic attacks against civilians during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”

    “This complaint, supported by over 8,000 pieces of verifiable evidence—including videos, audio recordings, forensic reports, and social media documentation—demonstrates the soldiers’ direct involvement in these atrocities,” the group explained.

    “All of the named soldiers were located in Gaza during the genocidal assault, and the evidence reveals their participation in violations of international law.”

    “This complaint is not only the largest ever submitted to the ICC, but it is also a milestone in documenting Israeli war crimes for future generations,” the Hind Rajab Foundation said.

    “By meticulously identifying the perpetrators and detailing their crimes, we are establishing a historical record that will ensure the individuals responsible are remembered and held accountable.”

    West Bank: Israeli Soldiers Kill Five Palestinians

    IMEMC reports:

    On Wednesday, Israeli special forces assassinated four Palestinian young men, and injured one, after targeting their vehicle in the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

    The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain men as Issam Mohammad Suleiman Salaj, 30, Abdul Halim Mohammad Nasser, 43, Salim Izz al-Din Mahmoud Abu Saada, 40, and Naim Mohammad Raji Abdul Hadi, 32.

    The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said their ambulance crews transported the bodies of the slain men to the Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus, in addition to a young man who sustained injuries to the head and chest as a result of shrapnel from live rounds.

    Media sources said that an undercover Israeli unit (Musta’ribeen) infiltrated the eastern area of Nablus city, on Wednesday afternoon, and fired many live rounds at a vehicle, executing all four men inside.

    On Tuesday night, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian man, after surrounding his home, in Aqaba town, north of Tubas in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank, and took his corpse before withdrawing.

    Media sources said Israeli undercover forces infiltrated the town and surrounded a house, before additional military vehicles invaded it.

    Media sources in the town, said the soldiers fired an Energa shells at the home, killing the Palestinian.

    Sources from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said their crews received a report of an injury inside the besieged house, but Israeli forces detained the injured young man, abducted him, and withdrew.

    The army later confirmed the death of the slain Palestinian, identified Abdul-Rauf Rajeh Hamed Al-Masri, 37, but refused to allow the release of his corpse.

    In West Bank, Palestinian olive harvest terrorized by Israeli settlers, blocked by Israeli restrictions

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Palestinians are unable to harvest olives in their orchards due to restrictions imposed by the Israeli army since Oct. 7, 2023, and attacks by Israeli settlers.

    Palestinian Minister of Agriculture Rezq Basheer-Selimia told the press that the ongoing restrictions imposed by the Israeli army and attacks by the Israelis are affecting Palestinian farmers, noting that at least 100,000 acres (approximately 404.69 sq km) of olive groves in the West Bank are not available for harvesting.

    For example, Palestinians in Madma, a town of 2,500 inhabitants in the northern part of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, are unable to harvest their 5,000 acres (around 20.23 sq km) of olive groves.

    Israeli settlers attacked the town of Madma, beat and threatened the Palestinian residents, damaged their homes, and stole agricultural tools.

    A town spokesman said, “A group of Israeli settlers attacked residents of the town who were harvesting olives the other day. The settlers opened fire at the farmers and drove them away from the olive groves.”

    The Israeli army responds by protecting the attackers and imposing restrictions on Palestinians.

    NOTE: According to Bethlehem Bible College, the olive tree in Palestine has essential economic, cultural, social, and national significance, and symbolizes the Palestinian attachment to their land – olive trees resist the tough conditions of drought and poor soil conditions and remain attached to their place.

    Many Palestinian families inherited olive trees over many generations. Families gather every year in October to harvest the olive trees. They feel proud, bearing in mind their ancestors who were taking care of these trees before.

    Olive fruit compromises the income of 80,000 Palestinian families. Almost half of the West Bank and Gaza Strip (48%) is planted with olive trees. 70% of food production in Palestine is accounted for by olive trees, and economically olive trees contribute to 14% of the Palestinian economy. Most olive harvesting (90%) is used for oil production, while the rest (10%) is used for olive soap and pickling.

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – OCTOBER 9, 2024:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – October 9, 2024: at least 42,814* ( 42,065 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 749 in the West Bank (~164 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more in Gaza 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 9, 2024: at least 104,086 (including at least 97,886 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 9, 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 2,141 and 10,099 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.

    New Israeli atrocities coming to light – Day 368 [email protected] October 10, 2024 international criminal court, Jeremy Loffredo, Lebanon, Matthew Brodsky, northern Gaza, Ofer Prison, Palestinian children, palestinian olive harvest, The Killings They Tweeted, west bank deaths At least 10 Gazans were killed in a horrific Israeli massacre targeting displaced people’s tents in the yard of Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital in the heart of Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza. (Hossam Shabat) Compilation of news reports – IAK staff At least 45 Palestinians were killed and 130 were injured in three massacres of families in the last 24 hours, the Health Ministry in Gaza said on Wednesday. On Wednesday, at least 10 Palestinians were killed when Israeli forces bombed the tents of displaced people in Jabaliya. Gaza has become a sea of rubble and a graveyard for tens of thousands of people Gaza has become a sea of rubble and a graveyard for tens of thousands of people (Image: Getty) The reality in northern Gaza: witnesses report a bloodbath From Mondoweiss: The following are some eyewitness reports from residents of Jabaliya, where the Israeli army surrounded the area and launched a surprise invasion on Sunday morning, coinciding with the first anniversary of October 7. Roughly 200,000 Palestinians are under siege; the hospitals in the vicinity are under evacuation orders. Most residents could not [or would not] evacuate and were locked in their homes with very little available for them to survive. One family that evacuated carrying a white flag found themselves under fire from quadcopter attack drones. The father and one son were killed; the rest of the family took shelter. What they saw was “like a horror movie.” The road was filled with dead bodies, and “dismembered bodies strewn across the streets.” “My cousin came the second night and joined us in the shelter,” Raneem explains. “They said that people lay dead at their homes’ front doors and in the street,” killed as they tried to follow evacuation orders. The Civil Defense in Gaza has reported several massacres perpetrated by the Israeli army during the ongoing invasion of Jabalia, although rescue workers have been unable to tally an exact number of casualties due to difficulties accessing the area. (Read the full report here.) Local journalist Hossam Shabat, living and working in northern Gaza, confirmed the above descriptions: Israeli occupation forces have asked all residents of northern Gaza (300k+) to evacuate as a means of ethnically cleansing North Gaza . However, they then besieged Jabalia refugee camp, and when people tried to leave, they were shot at by snipers. Many residents are on the streets, bleeding, as Israeli forces have destroyed ambulances and are targeting anyone who tries to help. The situation in the north is horrific and very dangerous; there are currently hundreds of thousands trapped, and the shelling is nonstop. RECOMMENDED READING: Ex-US diplomat calls ‘red lines’ meaningless as Israel orders 400,000 to leave Gaza’s north US: former White House advisor urges Israel to ‘carpet bomb’ Irish peacekeepers in Lebanon Middle East Monitor reports: Former White House advisor Matthew Brodsky has urged Israel to drop napalm on Irish peacekeepers in South Lebanon, sparking outrage and concern over the ideological stance of individuals advising the US administration on Israel and Palestine. UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon) has some 10,000 peacekeepers in south Lebanon, including members of the Irish Defense Forces. All UNIFIL personnel are distinguishable by their blue helmets and white vehicles. Brodsky, a Senior Fellow at the Gold Institute for International Strategy and former Director of Policy at the Jewish Policy Centre, posted a shocking tweet on X stating: “Israel should carpet bomb the Irish area and then drop napalm over it.” The tweet, which has since been deleted, included a map showing the deployment of Ireland’s peacekeeping force in Southern Lebanon. The comment has been condemned widely, with many questioning the appropriateness of having individuals with such extreme views in advisory roles within the US government. Brodsky’s comments come at a time of heightened tensions in the region and have raised concerns about the influence of hard-line Zionist ideologues on US foreign policy. Critics have accused Brodsky, who has lived and studied in Israel, of promoting Jewish supremacism. This incident has reignited debates about the prevalence of extremist ideologies within US political circles and their potential impact on diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. (Read more here.) NOTE: According to his website, Matthew Brodsky has worked for over two decades in U.S. foreign policy and national security. He has briefed members of Congress, Department of State, Department of Defense, and the National Security Council on Iran, Syria, and Palestinian-Israeli issues. New York Times: American doctors who volunteered in Gaza report massive number of children shot in the head Some eyewitness accounts from the New York Times: At least 44 doctors, nurses and paramedics saw multiple cases of preteen children who had been shot in the head or chest in Gaza. Dr. Mohamad Rassoul Abu-Nuwar, General, bariatric and foregut surgeon, 36 years old, Pittsburgh, Pa. “One night in the emergency department, over the course of four hours, I saw six children between the ages of 5 and 12, all with single gunshot wounds to the skull.” Rania Afaneh, Paramedic, 23 years old, Savannah, Ga. “I saw a child who had been shot in the jaw. No other part of his body was affected. He was fully awake and aware of what was going on. He stared at me while he choked on his own blood as I tried to suction the blood out with a broken suction unit.” Dr. Khawaja Ikram, Orthopedic surgeon, 53 years old, Dallas, Texas “One day, while in the E.R., I saw a 3-year-old and 5-year-old, each with a single bullet hole to their head. When asked what happened, their father and brother said they had been told that Israel was backing out of Khan Younis. So they returned to see if anything was left of their house. There was, they said, a sniper waiting who shot both children.” Dr. Ahlia Kattan, Anesthesiologist and critical care doctor, 37 years old, Costa Mesa, Calif. “I saw an 18-month-old little girl with a gunshot wound to the head.” Dr. Nidal Farah, Anesthesiologist, 42 years old, Toledo, Ohio “I saw many children. In my experience the gunshot wound was often to the head. Many had non-curable, permanent brain damage. It was almost a daily occurrence to have children arrive at the hospital with gunshot wounds to the head.” Times Opinion sent questions about the experiences of these American health care workers to the Israel Defense Forces. A spokesperson for the I.D.F. responded with a statement that did not directly answer whether or not the military had investigated reports of shootings of preteen children, or if any disciplinary action had been taken against soldiers for firing at children. The statement began, “The I.D.F. is committed to mitigating civilian harm during operational activity. In that spirit, the I.D.F. makes great efforts to estimate and consider potential civilian collateral damage in its strikes. The I.D.F. is fully committed to respecting all applicable international legal obligations, including the Law of Armed Conflict.” NOTE: Israeli sources, including the government itself, have a long track record of lying (for example, this and this and this.) Israel’s self-investigations consistently whitewash its crimes and fail to appropriately punish the perpetrators. These photographs of X-rays were provided by Dr. Mimi Syed, who worked in Khan Younis from Aug. 8 to Sept. 5. She said: “I had multiple pediatric patients, mostly under the age of 12, who were shot in the head or the left side of the chest. Usually, these were single shots. The patients came in either dead or critical, and died shortly after arriving.” These photographs of X-rays were provided by Dr. Mimi Syed, who worked in Khan Younis from Aug. 8 to Sept. 5.

According to social media posts, Loffredo was detained on Tuesday along with four other journalists who were “beaten, blindfolded, and taken to an Israeli military base.” They also had their phones confiscated. Loffredo remains in custody, while the others, including Andrey X, were released 11 hours later. Loffredo’s last video posted on X reported the damage caused by the Iranian missile strikes on Israel’s military sites on 1 October. Social media users believe this is the reason for his detention as no local news organisations have covered the damage from the attack. Netanyahu says it will be Lebanese civilians’ fault if Israel destroys Lebanon Various agencies report: Once again, Israel is setting the stage for massive civilian casualties – this time in Lebanon – and placing the blame for it squarely on the civilians’ shoulders. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu released a video statement Tuesday, calling on the people of Lebanon to “free [their] country from Hezbollah,” threatening them with “destruction and suffering” if they refused to do so. “You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza. It doesn’t have to be that way,” Netanyahu said, as his country’s air force continued to launch non-stop raids across Lebanon. Israeli officials have been saying they’re going to destroy Lebanon like they destroyed Gaza for months. Back in December Israel’s defense minister Yoav Gallant said, “Every person in Lebanon can take the map, the aerial photograph of Gaza, place it on an aerial photograph of Beirut, and ask themselves if this is what they want to happen there.” Now Netanyahu himself is saying this. Notably, Netanyahu’s statement was delivered in English, with English subtitles. This wasn’t actually a plea made to the people of Lebanon, it was propaganda made for western consumption. Netanyahu does not actually believe the Lebanese people are going to take up arms against Hezbollah to stop their country from being destroyed, he’s just creating a narrative to justify what he already plans on doing to Lebanon. And the US is encouraging Israel to move forward. On Tuesday State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller told the press that the Biden administration no longer supports a ceasefire with Hezbollah, saying “We support Israel’s efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s capability” instead. Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s threats toward Lebanon, the US on Wednesday warned that the situation there must not turn into something resembling the situation the Gaza Strip, where more than 42,000 people have been killed in the last year. “We cannot and must not see the situation in Lebanon turn into anything like the situation in Gaza. That would, of course, not be acceptable,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. Ben Gvir oversees violent raid against Palestinians inside Ofer Prison Palestine Chronicle reports: A pre-dawn raid on Ofer prison on Monday saw police officers using stun grenades and dogs. In the footage shared by Ben-Gvir on X, detainees are seen handcuffed, and being violently moved around inside the prison, and several are seen laying face down on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs. “With zero tolerance and a heavy hand – this is how the prison fighters work with the animals of prey from the Nohba terrorists. I back them up!” Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said alongside the footage. He claimed detainees whom he called “human scum” were “planning to riot inside the prison to mark the anniversary” of the October 7 resistance operation. Historic Int’l Criminal Court War Crimes Complaint Names 1,000 Israeli Soldiers Common Dreams reports: A Belgium-based advocacy group on Tuesday announced it “filed an unprecedented and historic complaint with the International Criminal Court against 1,000 Israeli occupation forces soldiers for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza,” where more than 150,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded and millions more displaced, starved, and sickened by Israel’s yearlong onslaught.

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.

  • Palestine and the People of the World. 124 Nations endorsed the UN General Assembly Resolution to End the Illegal Israeli Occupation of Palestine

    Israel’s wanton aggression against Lebanon has overshadowed an important decision made by the UN General Assembly linked to the violence and wars that mark our present moment in history.

    On Wednesday, 18th September 2024, 124 nations voted in favour of a UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolution to end the illegal Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem in Palestine.

    The resolution was prompted by a ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the world’s highest judicial body, which had ordered Israel to withdraw from Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). The ICJ decision of 19th July 2024 was undoubtedly influenced by Israel’s blatant genocide in Gaza and its massacres in the West Bank. The UN General Assembly gave Tel Aviv 12 months to withdraw from the OPT.

    Given Israel’s track record, no one should expect Israel to abide by the UNGA’s resolution. Nonetheless, the 124 nations that endorsed the resolution should go all out to ensure that the resolution is implemented. They represent almost two-thirds of the total membership of the UN. Their vote, viewed collectively, is the voice of the vast majority of the human family. The huge public gatherings held in so many different parts of the world in the course of the last one year against Israel’s genocide and for the right of the Palestinians to establish their own sovereign, independent state in accordance with UN resolutions attest to the overwhelming support that the Palestinian quest for self- determination enjoys among the people of the world.

    The 124 member states of the UN that endorsed the 18th September resolution should remember that the ICJ decision that underscores the UNGA resolution requires member states not to recognize “the unlawful presence of Israel in the OPT” and not to render aid or assistance to Israel in maintaining its illegal occupation. Translated into tangible action, the 124 states should appeal to the five veto wielding members of the UN Security Council not to use the veto to repudiate the UNGA vote when the issue is brought to the Council for its endorsement. Needless to say, the resolution can only be enforced by the Council.

    If there is any indication that the veto is going to be used to deny the will of the majority of the UN membership, the endorsers of the UNGA resolution should meet and set up a committee that will explore ways and means by which the resolution can be rendered meaningful.

    Countries such as South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brazil can be part of such a committee.

    The UN Secretary-General will also be a crucial member of the Committee. Apart from organizing a permanent ceasefire, the Committee can also ensure that food, fuel, medicines and other essentials are readily available to the people of Gaza and other parts of Palestine. The proposed Committee should also facilitate the release of all hostages presently held by Hamas. Most of all, the Committee should lay out a framework for the resolution of all conflicts between Israel and Palestine and Israel and its neighbours. The Committee’s final recommendations should be presented to the UNGA for its approval.

    The UNGA’s approval would signal that the General Assembly —and not the Security Council— is the body within the UN that decides on fundamental issues of war and peace. This is the empowerment of the General Assembly that we should work towards. An empowered GA will give hope to people everywhere.

  • Israel has wiped out 902 Palestinian families in Gaza over past year – Day 361
    [email protected] October 3, 2024 Ahmed al-Zard, António Guterres persona non grata, bernie sanders, blocking weapons to israel, evacuation from lebanon, genocide, Iran, iran sanctions, massacre, palestinian journalist, walid daqqa, weapons to israel, white phosphorus


    Israel admits air bases were hit in Iran attack – how much damage was there?

    Various agencies report:

    Middle East Monitor says: The Israeli army yesterday admitted that some of its air bases were hit during Iran’s missile attack on the occupation state on Tuesday night, but claimed the impact was insignificant.

    Army Radio quoted the military: “No air force aircraft were damaged in the attack and all of the missile impacts in the air bases are deemed by the military as ‘ineffective’, meaning that no harm was caused to the continuous operations of the air force.”

    A number of videos on social media Tuesday night, during the attack, show impact explosions, infrastructure damage, and huge craters (for example, this and this and this and this and this).

    Military Watch Magazine says: Reports have indicated that the bulk of Nevatim Air Base’s F-35s – over 20 fighters – were destroyed in the attack, with the stealth fighters representing one of the most high value targets in Israel.

    F-35s play a central role in Israeli plans for potential attacks on Iran, with their stealth capabilities and advanced avionics, including electronic warfare systems and other air defense suppression features, making them optimal assets for such operations.

    Forbes, however, stated that these “reports” are from Iranian state media, and is an example of “spread[ing] misinformation and propaganda without supporting evidence.”

    Ha’aretz points out: According to images taken by Planet Labs, one missile hit an aircraft hangar. Most photos of the damage were banned from publication.

    Israel heavily censors information on its military, so the truth may never come out.

    On April 13, Iran launched several hundred of its older missiles toward Israel, most of which were intercepted. The Iranian mission to the UN declared, “Should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe,” and said Iran now “deemed the matter concluded”.

    On July 31, Israel assassinated Hamas political leader – the Palestinians’ head ceasefire negotiator – while he was an official guest on sovereign soil in Iran.

    In late September, Israel carried out attacks in Lebanon, killing over 700 in just a few days, including Hezbollah’s top leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

    Iran vowed to respond, and on Tuesday night, it did. Following its missile attack on Israel, Iran indicated that its retaliation was complete and the chapter could be closed (unless Israel again did something provocative).

    Various agencies report:

    US President Joe Biden is counseling Israel to take a proportional response to this week’s barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles, voicing opposition to a potential strike on Iran’s nuclear sites in the hopes of preventing the conflict that has erupted in the region from widening further.

    “No one’s saying don’t respond,” one senior administration official said.

    Kamala Harris’ statement Tuesday: “Iran launched 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in a reckless and brazen attack. I condemn this attack unequivocally. Iran is a destabilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East, and today’s attack on Israel only further demonstrates that fact.”

    After talking about the Iranian attack as a brazen and unacceptable escalation, State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller was asked by the press if he considered anything Israel has done in the past three weeks escalatory. Miller ridiculously refused to acknowledge any escalatory behavior on Israel’s part, saying instead that Israel had merely “done things to expand the conflict” in order to fight terrorism.

    US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday that the US would work with Israel to ensure Iran faces “severe consequences” for launching a missile attack on Israel.

    THAT IS TO SAY: Harris does not consider Israel’s multiple unprovoked attacks to be destabilizing or dangerous; Miller could not bring himself to admit that Israel had done anything provocative; Sullivan announced that the US was collaborating with Israel to bring another attack from Iran.

    Sina Toossi of the Center for International Policy offers this commentary: “After a string of assassinations and other Israeli escalations in recent weeks, Iran is trying to create a new deterrence equilibrium. They are saying that we can still hit you, and we can hit you hard. Iran is actually trying to ‘escalate to de-escalate’ here.”


    Several Israeli politicians openly call for a large-scale assault on Iran

    Middle East Eye reports:

    Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said: “Israel has now its greatest opportunity in 50 years, to change the face of the Middle East. We must act now to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, its central energy facilities, and to fatally cripple this terrorist regime.”

    National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said: “What we did to Lebanon must also be done to Iran… no political arrangements, no diplomacy – crush, crush, crush.”

    Parliament member Avigdor Lieberman said: “Bomb all the oil, gas and nuclear facilities, and destroy the refineries and dams.”

    NOTE: According to the Nuclear Threat Initiative: Although Israel has possessed nuclear weapons since the 1960s, it maintains a policy of nuclear opacity, never officially confirming the existence of its nuclear program. Accordingly, Israel has never signed the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

    Peace is within reach – if Israel will be a partner

    From the Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi:

    The Arab world calls on the international community to bring Israel to the table, where a peace initiative is waiting for him.



    US finally steps up to evacuate Americans from Lebanon

    BACKGROUND: The US State Department faced harsh criticism after announcing Sunday that it would not be assisting Americans who wanted to leave Lebanon, as Israel (backed by the US) has increased its attacks on southern Lebanon.

    National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said, “Right now, the State Department does not feel a need for [evacuation]. There are still commercial operations, commercial air traffic that is getting out of Beirut and are still available to those Americans that want to leave…if you’re in Lebanon and you want to go, go now while these options are available to you.”

    Apparently, the agency has had second thoughts.

    CNN reports:

    The US organized a charter flight for Americans to depart Lebanon on Wednesday and plans to offer future flights based on demand, State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said.

    There were just over 100 people, including Americans and family members of American citizens, on the flight today, he said. The flight flew from Beirut to Istanbul.

    “It’s been a priority for us to enhance the capacity of flights in and out of the region, so we’ve contracted with additional carriers to facilitate the transport of American citizens,” Miller said.

    “We do hope to organize additional flights in the coming days, depending on demand.”

    Around 7,000 people have registered with the State Department to get more information about US-supported ways to depart Lebanon.

    Malaysian PM calls out Netanyahu’s genocidal self-preservation strategy

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim criticized Israeli politicians Wednesday, saying they are sacrificing innocent lives to keep themselves in power.

    In a statement on X, Anwar said Israel’s continued aggression and attacks on Lebanon, Syria and Yemen are deliberate attempts to divert the global community’s focus from its brutal atrocities and acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

    “This escalation is plainly aimed at keeping Israel’s current political leaders in power and out of prison, sacrificing innocent lives at the altar of one man’s political career,” he added, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    He called on all parties in the Middle East to urgently de-escalate tensions which are destabilizing the region.



    Israeli court rules that body of Walid Daqqa can be held as bargaining chip in hostage negotiations

    The New Arab reports:

    Israel’s highest court on Monday ruled authorities have the right to indefinitely hold the body of Palestinian novelist Walid Daqqa, rejecting a petition filed by his family to secure the return of his remains for a dignified burial.

    Daqqa, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, died from cancer at age 62 while still in custody in April.

    He had spent 38 years in detention for the kidnapping and murder of an Israeli soldier in 1984, with Israel accusing him of being a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

    During his time in prison, Daqqa authored several highly regarded works of Arabic literature, including the 2018 children’s fable The Tale of the Secrets of the Oil.

    Following his cancer diagnosis, there were widespread calls for him to be released early, with only two years left on his sentence. However, Israel refused.

    Additionally, Amnesty International visited him a few weeks before his death and reported that he had been subject to torture while in an already weakened state.

    Palestinian journalist released by Israel

    Middle East Monitor reports:

    The Israeli authorities released journalist Asmaa Harish Tuesday after holding her for six months in administrative detention in Damon Prison, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported.

    She was detained in April of this year, and has been since subjected to ill-treatment and serious human rights violations.

    READ: Welcome to Hell: the Israeli prison system as a network of torture camps

    Israel continues to hold 96 Palestinian women in its prison, including 27 administrative detainees, not including prisoners from Gaza.

    The release of Harish means that Israel is now holding six women journalists in its prisons.

    NOTE: The Committee To Protect Journalists reports that at least 174 journalists have been killed in the Palestinian territories since October 7th, making it the deadliest period for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992. Israel also recently banned Al Jazeera from broadcasting in Israel and the West Bank, forbids international journalists entrance into Gaza, and heavily censors reporting by international news organizations.

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

    Common Dreams reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also declared,

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

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

    Al Jazeera reports:

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

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

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

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

    Middle East Monitor reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Al Jazeera reports:

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

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

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

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

    US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, equipped with F-35C fighters to the Middle East last month.

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

    The Guardian reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    US’ Blinken urges diplomacy as Israel intensifies attacks in Lebanon

    Anadolu Agency reports:

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

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

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

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



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

    The Intercept reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 27:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ***More than 40 of the deaths listed above were Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah in fighting at the Israel-Lebanon border. The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

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

Journalists and critics of the “global pariah” shared photos and videos of people filing out of the hall before Netanyahu’s address—which came just a day after 25 anti-genocide protesters were arrested for blocking his motorcade in Manhattan. While there was some audience applause from the sparsely populated room on Friday, Al Jazeera Arabic’s Rami Ayari explained that “the people you hear cheering the PM during the speech are in the gallery who he brought for that purpose.” Netanyahu began his Friday address by taking aim at the world leaders who throughout the week have condemned the recent escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon as well as the past year of Israeli forces bombing and starving Palestinians in Gaza. “I didn’t intend to come here this year. My country is at war fighting for its life,” Netanyahu said. “But, after I heard the lies and slanders leveled at my country by many of the speakers standing at this podium, I decided to come here and set the record straight.” Armed with more of his infamous maps of the Middle East, the right-wing leader went on to claim that “Israel seeks peace,” while also pledging to wage war on Hamas-governed Gaza until “total victory” and telling “the tyrants of Tehran” that “if you strike us, we will strike you.” Noting that Netanyahu also spoke of “savage enemies who seek to destroy our common civilization,” James Zogby, co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, said: “Words spoken by the man who has been charged with genocide and crimes against humanity.

  • Operation Clear Skies: The Ultimate Guide to Fighting Geoengineering
    A CALL TO ACTION AGAINST GEOENGINEERING

    Last Thursday, we had another of our bi-monthly Save Our Skies Swarm webinars, and it was one of our most insightful and inspiring ones yet! Click on it above.

    First, we had Isaac Bareno from In Power Movement, who enlightened us on the power of the pen: Notices of Liability. It's not just fancy paperwork—it's our secret weapon against sky vandals. These legal love letters are our way of saying, "Hey, geoengineering goons, we see you, and we're not having it."

    LOBBYING 101 WITH TARA THORNTON

    We then welcomed Tara Thornton from Freedom Angels, who gave us a crash course in lobbying that would make K Street sweat. Tara didn't just talk the talk; she has been walking the walk for years. She walked us through the legislative labyrinth, showing us the art of pushing anti-geoengineering bills through the system.

    THE LEGISLATIVE OBSTACLE COURSE

    Speaking of systems, let's take a gander at the California legislative process. It's a wild ride that makes Disneyland look like a kiddie pool. From bill introduction to the governor's desk, it's a gauntlet of committees, votes, and enough red tape to gift wrap the Golden Gate Bridge. But fear not, intrepid sky defenders! This is where we make our stand.


    KEY STAGES TO WATCH DURING LEGISLATION

    Key Stages to Watch:

    Bill Introduction: Where our anti-geoengineering dreams take flight

    Committee Hearings: It is time to flood those offices with calls and emails

    Floor Votes: When we hold our representatives' feet to the fire

    Governor's Desk: The final boss battle

    GOING BEYOND COMPLAINING

    Here at SOS, we go beyond complaining. Over the last year, we have provided months of Save Our Skies bi-monthly webinars, teaching our skywatchers how to collect and test rain samples, test for heavy metals, track weather modification planes overhead, read the atmosphere, file public records requests, and search for ongoing geoengineering programs. We've also created a 75-slide PowerPoint presentation to give you informed talking points, paid for numerous rain samples, submitted two public records requests for our upcoming legal endeavor, and partnered with InPower Movement's Notices of Liability campaign to fight geoengineering.

  • Israel kills American activist, terrorizes prisoners, as Biden admin shrugs – Day 335
    CNN reports: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday was as clear as he has ever been that he does not believe a ceasefire and hostage deal is likely in Gaza in a sharp rebuke to the Biden administration’s insistence it’s close at hand. “There’s not a deal in the making,” Netanyahu told Fox News. “Unfortunately, it’s not close.” His comments stand in stark contrast to the relentlessly hopeful messaging from the Biden administration over the past months. On Sunday, President Joe Biden claimed that the parties were on the verge of a deal, and on Wednesday, a senior administration official claimed 90% of the agreement had been completed. That, Netanyahu said, is “exactly inaccurate.” UN Humanitarian Affairs: Israel is blocking entrance of explosive ordnance disposal equipment OCHA reports: The ongoing escalation of hostilities is resulting in widespread contamination by Explosive Ordnance (EO). While the exact number of EO-related casualties is unknown, there have been cases of people who died due to the explosion of EO, according to humanitarian partners. On 3 September, a Palestinian girl was reportedly critically injured by the explosion of an EO in southwestern Khan Younis and succumbed to her wounds on 4 September. Children face a heightened risk of being exposed to EO, as they usually play outside, tend to search for scraps amongst rubbish and rubble, and lack an awareness on the dangers of EO. Despite ongoing efforts by humanitarian partners to conduct in-person and digital Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) campaigns, educational material as well as minimum standard Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) equipment are refused entry into Gaza by Israeli authorities, therefore limiting the capacity of the mine action response. The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster is concerned with the staggering increase in the cost of basic hygiene items. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), in July, the price of soap has increased 1,177 per cent and shampoo has increased 490 per cent across the Strip, compared to July 2023. Israeli army kills Palestinian girl in West Bank: Health Ministry Al Jazeera reports: A 13-year-old girl succumbed to her wounds after being shot by Israeli forces in Qaryout, a village south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank. The village was reportedly attacked by Jewish settlers backed by Israeli forces when Bana Amjad Bakr was shot in the chest by an Israeli soldier. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its teams dealt with the “serious” injury after confrontations broke out in the village. Amjad Bakr was shot while she was in her bedroom, her father said. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she died. Settler attacks are common in the West Bank and have increased in scale and intensity since October 7. The Israeli army and settlers have displaced more than 1,200 Palestinians and destroyed hundreds of structures, according to UN figures. Israel pulls out of Jenin, but denies end of West Bank offensive Middle East Eye reports: Israeli forces have pulled out of Jenin after a 10-day assault, but the military has denied it is ending its operation in the occupied West Bank. The offensive, which has so far left at least 39 Palestinians dead, saw soldiers backed by armored vehicles and bulldozers targeting the city and its adjacent refugee camp, forcing the flight of many of the residents. Palestinians started returning to their Jenin homes on Friday, while those who had been trapped by the offensive were able to venture outside for the first time in more than a week. Israel said on Friday that it would continue its operation in Jenin until its “objectives are achieved”. The Palestinian Ministry of Health says at least 40 people (6 of them youths) have been killed in the West Bank since August 28 when Israeli forces launched a large-scale incursion into several towns and cities: 21 Palestinians were killed in Jenin; 8 in Tubas; 8 in Tulkarem; and 3 in Hebron. Footage originally shared by Israel’s Channel 14 correspondent showed Israeli soldiers detaining Palestinian children, women and men in Jenin, occupied West Bank, and forcing them to walk in one line. This is not Gaza. This is in the West Bank Israeli soldiers share footage with Netenyahu’s channel 14 depicting them humiliating young Palestinian girls, women and elderly in Jenin during their invasion to the city pic.twitter.com/y2DZz1rImP — Younis Tirawi | يونس (@ytirawi) September 6, 2024 France arrests nurse who volunteered in Gaza Middle East Monitor reports: France yesterday arrested then released nurse Imane Maarifi who spent 15 days volunteering as a medic in the Gaza Strip. Notably, the arrest took place at a time when French soldiers who fight in Gaza enjoy total impunity. Thomas Portes, a lawmaker from the La France Insoumise, or France Unbowed (LFI) party, wrote that Maarifi has been released from custody. “The search of the home in front of the family leaves no doubt about the desire to intimidate the voices that are raised to support the Palestinian people and demand an immediate ceasefire,” he wrote on X. Maarifi attended pro-Palestinian rallies in France to share her testimony about the crippling situation in Gaza. She has also expressed her demand for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a boycott of companies supporting Israel.

    Israeli army kills American International Solidarity Movement volunteer during demonstration in West Bank

    Various sources report:

    During the weekly demonstration in Beita, Palestine, on the morning of September 6th, 2024, the Israeli army intentionally shot and killed an International Solidarity Movement (ISM) human rights activist named Ayşenur Eygi. The demonstration, which primarily involved men and children praying, was met with force from the Israeli army stationed on a hill. Initially, the army fired a large amount of tear gas and then began using live ammunition.

    Ayşenur, who we (ISM) consider a martyr in the struggle, was the 18th demonstrator to be killed in Beita since 2020. She was an American citizen of Turkish descent.

    She was involved with the Faz’a campaign, an organization that aims to support and protect Palestinian farmers from violations by illegal Jewish settlers and military forces.

    The Israeli forces fired two rounds. One hit a Palestinian man in the leg, injuring him. The other round was fired at international human rights activists who were observing the demonstration from a distance, striking the human rights activist in the head.

    Neither Ezgi nor the other wounded person posed any threat to the soldiers stationed on the hills adjacent to the site of the weekly march.

    Eygi died shortly after being transported to a local hospital in Nablus.

    The Israeli military admitted to firing at the demonstrators and said it was looking into reports that a foreign national was killed. The Israel Defense Forces said it “responded with fire toward a main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them”.

    The US has not said whether Eygi had been shot by Israeli troops. “We are urgently gathering more information about the circumstances of her death, and will have more to say as we learn more,” Matthew Miller, a state department spokesperson, said.

    Asked if the US would take action against Israel, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “First things first – let’s find out exactly what happened and we will draw the necessary conclusions and consequences from that.”

    Eygi’s family released a statement declaring, “A US citizen, Aysenur was peacefully standing for justice when she was killed by a bullet that video shows came from an Israeli military shooter,” adding, “Given the circumstances of Aysenur’s killing, an Israeli investigation is not adequate.”

    “We call on President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary of State Blinken to order an independent investigation into the unlawful killing of a US citizen and to ensure full accountability.”

    Ayşenur Eygi, 26, ‘was not a naive traveler – this experience was, according to one of her professors, the culmination of all her years of activism. Her friends say she was a longtime activist “bearing witness to oppression.”

    She was remembered by friends and former professors as a dedicated organizer who felt a strong moral obligation to bring attention to the plight of Palestinians.

    Eygi, who is also a Turkish citizen and leaves behind her husband, graduated from UW earlier this year with a major in psychology and minor in Middle Eastern languages and culture, Fani said. She walked the stage with a large “Free Palestine” flag during the ceremony, Fani said.

    Ezgi is the third ISM volunteer to be killed by the Israeli forces in occupied Palestine. Rachel Corrie was killed in Gaza’s Rafah in 2003 after an Israeli soldier crushed her with a bulldozer. Tom Hurndall was killed in Gaza in 2004 by an Israeli sniper. An Israeli soldier shot Brian Avery in the face in Jenin in 2003. He survived the attack but was permanently maimed. The bullet ripped through his cheek and smashed his eye socket and jaw bones.

    RECOMMENDED READING: Instead of Taylor Force Act, Congress should consider Rachel Corrie Act, Orwah Hammad Act




    Israeli Prison Guards Filmed Abusing Detainees; Prison Service Says It’s a ‘Routine Exercise’

    Ha’aretz reports:

    Israeli Prison Service personnel in the security wing of Megiddo Prison handcuffed and humiliated detainees on Friday morning, despite no unusual incident occurring in the prison.

    Photos and videos obtained by Haaretz show dozens of detainees lying on their stomachs while handcuffed, some without clothes, as a guard dog barks over their heads. The Prison Service described this as a “routine exercise.”

    The Prison Service said in response that it “maintains an operational routine for the safety of the prison inmates and the public. In this case, too, in an operation that includes intelligence [gathering], soldiers of the ‘Nachshon’ unit…raided terrorist cells, searched them and seized assault weapons and prohibited materials.” The service failed to present any of the assault weapons allegedly seized.

    The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) has urged the United Nations to open an independent investigation.

    The group has also said that the Israeli authorities are “deliberately” leaking images and footage of the torture of Palestinian detainees, explaining in a statement that this was “part of the competition between the ministers of the current government over who tortures and kills Palestinians more”.


    UNICEF says Israelis refusing to facilitate polio vaccine campaign

    Al Jazeera reports:

    UNICEF says it is making every effort to distribute the polio vaccine in Gaza during the agreed-upon pauses in fighting.

    However, it reported that Israel continues to deny medical teams access to communities in certain areas of southern Gaza.

    Nearly 355,000 children have received the vaccine in spite of Israel’s lack of cooperation.

    Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Khan Younis:



    Israeli legislator calls on police to probe B’Tselem activist for ‘aiding the enemy’

    Middle East Monitor reports:

    Israel’s Likud Party Knesset Member Tally Gotliv called for the execution or life imprisonment of human rights activist Yuli Novak following her speech at the UN Security Council on Wednesday.

    Novak, the executive director or Israeli rights group B’Tselem, told the UNSC: “Since Israel was founded, its guiding logic has been to promote Jewish supremacy over the entire territory under its control.”

    She added that the far-right Israeli government has been “cynically exploiting” its citizens’ “collective trauma” since the 7 October 2023 infiltration of Israel by Palestinian resistance fighters.

    It is doing this, she explained, “to violently advance its project of cementing Israel[i] control over the entire land … committing war crimes almost daily.”

    Gotliv called for Novak to be probed by Israel Police “for the suspected serious crime of assistance to the enemy in war.”

    She said that such a crime was an offense under the penal law, “which carries the death penalty or a life sentence”.

    “Novak has shamefully put the state of Israel, currently engaged in a war for survival, at risk and assisted Israel’s enemies on various fronts,” the lawmaker wrote, accusing the activist of telling lies about Israel committing war crimes.

    Gotliv was among the legislators that joined Israeli crowds to protest the arrest of soldiers accused of gang-raping a Palestinian detainee from Gaza held in the Israeli Sde Teiman prison.

    NOTE: B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories strives for a future in which human rights, liberty and equality are guaranteed to all people, Palestinian and Jewish alike, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

    Such a future will only be possible when the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime end. That is the future we are working towards.

    B’Tselem (in Hebrew literally: in the image of), the name chosen for the organization by the late Member of Knesset Yossi Sarid, is an allusion to Genesis 1:27: “And God created humankind in His image. In the image of God did He create them.” The name expresses the universal and Jewish moral edict to respect and uphold the human rights of all people.



    Netanyahu is unequivocal about ceasefire and hostage agreement with Hamas: ‘There’s not a deal in the making’


    Israel shells Lebanon with white phosphorus bombs, performs ground invasion drills

    The Cradle reports:

    According to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), Israel targeted southern Lebanon with white phosphorus on Friday. “The area between Tal Nahas and Al-Hamams towards the Marjayoun plain is being subjected to artillery shelling with phosphorus shells, which caused fires to break out,” NNA said.

    Israeli threats against Lebanon have escalated once again. The Israeli military said on 6 September that its Yiftah Brigade carried out drills this week simulating a ground invasion of Lebanon, moving along a “mountainous route” and “complex terrain.”

    NOTE: Use of white phosphorus in civilian areas is considered a war crime due to its extremely dangerous effects on the human body.

    White phosphorus ignites instantly when in contact with oxygen. It can burn through the human body, including through bone, causing severe, excruciating damage.

    It can also cause extreme harm when inhaled, with risks of suffocation, cardiovascular failure, coma, death, and other lifelong effects. The substance burns at temperatures of up to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 5:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 5, 2024: at least 41,546* (40,878 in Gaza* – 11,308 women (28%), 16,715 children (41%) 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 691 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

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

    Ralph Nader earlier estimated 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

    At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 23 from West Bank).
    At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
    About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
    Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – September 5: at least 100,098 (including at least 94,454 in Gaza and 5,700 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how man Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

    Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 5, 2024: ~1,452 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 288*** 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.

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

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

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

    ***Approximately ten of the deaths listed above were Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah in fighting at the Israel-Lebanon border. The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

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

On Sunday, President Joe Biden claimed that the parties were on the verge of a deal, and on Wednesday, a senior administration official claimed 90% of the agreement had been completed. That, Netanyahu said, is “exactly inaccurate.” UN Humanitarian Affairs: Israel is blocking entrance of explosive ordnance disposal equipment OCHA reports: The ongoing escalation of hostilities is resulting in widespread contamination by Explosive Ordnance (EO). While the exact number of EO-related casualties is unknown, there have been cases of people who died due to the explosion of EO, according to humanitarian partners. On 3 September, a Palestinian girl was reportedly critically injured by the explosion of an EO in southwestern Khan Younis and succumbed to her wounds on 4 September. Children face a heightened risk of being exposed to EO, as they usually play outside, tend to search for scraps amongst rubbish and rubble, and lack an awareness on the dangers of EO. Despite ongoing efforts by humanitarian partners to conduct in-person and digital Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) campaigns, educational material as well as minimum standard Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) equipment are refused entry into Gaza by Israeli authorities, therefore limiting the capacity of the mine action response. The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster is concerned with the staggering increase in the cost of basic hygiene items. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), in July, the price of soap has increased 1,177 per cent and shampoo has increased 490 per cent across the Strip, compared to July 2023. Israeli army kills Palestinian girl in West Bank: Health Ministry Al Jazeera reports: A 13-year-old girl succumbed to her wounds after being shot by Israeli forces in Qaryout, a village south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank. The village was reportedly attacked by Jewish settlers backed by Israeli forces when Bana Amjad Bakr was shot in the chest by an Israeli soldier. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its teams dealt with the “serious” injury after confrontations broke out in the village. Amjad Bakr was shot while she was in her bedroom, her father said. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she died. Settler attacks are common in the West Bank and have increased in scale and intensity since October 7. The Israeli army and settlers have displaced more than 1,200 Palestinians and destroyed hundreds of structures, according to UN figures. Israel pulls out of Jenin, but denies end of West Bank offensive Middle East Eye reports: Israeli forces have pulled out of Jenin after a 10-day assault, but the military has denied it is ending its operation in the occupied West Bank. The offensive, which has so far left at least 39 Palestinians dead, saw soldiers backed by armored vehicles and bulldozers targeting the city and its adjacent refugee camp, forcing the flight of many of the residents. Palestinians started returning to their Jenin homes on Friday, while those who had been trapped by the offensive were able to venture outside for the first time in more than a week. Israel said on Friday that it would continue its operation in Jenin until its “objectives are achieved”. The Palestinian Ministry of Health says at least 40 people (6 of them youths) have been killed in the West Bank since August 28 when Israeli forces launched a large-scale incursion into several towns and cities: 21 Palestinians were killed in Jenin; 8 in Tubas; 8 in Tulkarem; and 3 in Hebron. Footage originally shared by Israel’s Channel 14 correspondent showed Israeli soldiers detaining Palestinian children, women and men in Jenin, occupied West Bank, and forcing them to walk in one line. This is not Gaza. This is in the West Bank Israeli soldiers share footage with Netenyahu’s channel 14 depicting them humiliating young Palestinian girls, women and elderly in Jenin during their invasion to the city pic.twitter.com/y2DZz1rImP — Younis Tirawi | يونس (@ytirawi) September 6, 2024 France arrests nurse who volunteered in Gaza Middle East Monitor reports: France yesterday arrested then released nurse Imane Maarifi who spent 15 days volunteering as a medic in the Gaza Strip. Notably, the arrest took place at a time when French soldiers who fight in Gaza enjoy total impunity. Thomas Portes, a lawmaker from the La France Insoumise, or France Unbowed (LFI) party, wrote that Maarifi has been released from custody. “The search of the home in front of the family leaves no doubt about the desire to intimidate the voices that are raised to support the Palestinian people and demand an immediate ceasefire,” he wrote on X. Maarifi attended pro-Palestinian rallies in France to share her testimony about the crippling situation in Gaza. She has also expressed her demand for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a boycott of companies supporting Israel.

(screenshot) Compilation of news reports – IAK staff Israeli army kills American International Solidarity Movement volunteer during demonstration in West Bank Various sources report: During the weekly demonstration in Beita, Palestine, on the morning of September 6th, 2024, the Israeli army intentionally shot and killed an International Solidarity Movement (ISM) human rights activist named Ayşenur Eygi. The demonstration, which primarily involved men and children praying, was met with force from the Israeli army stationed on a hill. Initially, the army fired a large amount of tear gas and then began using live ammunition. Ayşenur, who we (ISM) consider a martyr in the struggle, was the 18th demonstrator to be killed in Beita since 2020. She was an American citizen of Turkish descent. She was involved with the Faz’a campaign, an organization that aims to support and protect Palestinian farmers from violations by illegal Jewish settlers and military forces. The Israeli forces fired two rounds. One hit a Palestinian man in the leg, injuring him. The other round was fired at international human rights activists who were observing the demonstration from a distance, striking the human rights activist in the head. Neither Ezgi nor the other wounded person posed any threat to the soldiers stationed on the hills adjacent to the site of the weekly march. Eygi died shortly after being transported to a local hospital in Nablus. The Israeli military admitted to firing at the demonstrators and said it was looking into reports that a foreign national was killed. The Israel Defense Forces said it “responded with fire toward a main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them”. The US has not said whether Eygi had been shot by Israeli troops. “We are urgently gathering more information about the circumstances of her death, and will have more to say as we learn more,” Matthew Miller, a state department spokesperson, said. Asked if the US would take action against Israel, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “First things first – let’s find out exactly what happened and we will draw the necessary conclusions and consequences from that.” Eygi’s family released a statement declaring, “A US citizen, Aysenur was peacefully standing for justice when she was killed by a bullet that video shows came from an Israeli military shooter,” adding, “Given the circumstances of Aysenur’s killing, an Israeli investigation is not adequate.” “We call on President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary of State Blinken to order an independent investigation into the unlawful killing of a US citizen and to ensure full accountability.” Ayşenur Eygi, 26, ‘was not a naive traveler – this experience was, according to one of her professors, the culmination of all her years of activism. Her friends say she was a longtime activist “bearing witness to oppression.” She was remembered by friends and former professors as a dedicated organizer who felt a strong moral obligation to bring attention to the plight of Palestinians. Eygi, who is also a Turkish citizen and leaves behind her husband, graduated from UW earlier this year with a major in psychology and minor in Middle Eastern languages and culture, Fani said. She walked the stage with a large “Free Palestine” flag during the ceremony, Fani said. Ezgi is the third ISM volunteer to be killed by the Israeli forces in occupied Palestine. Rachel Corrie was killed in Gaza’s Rafah in 2003 after an Israeli soldier crushed her with a bulldozer. Tom Hurndall was killed in Gaza in 2004 by an Israeli sniper. An Israeli soldier shot Brian Avery in the face in Jenin in 2003. He survived the attack but was permanently maimed. The bullet ripped through his cheek and smashed his eye socket and jaw bones. RECOMMENDED READING: Instead of Taylor Force Act, Congress should consider Rachel Corrie Act, Orwah Hammad Act Israeli Prison Guards Filmed Abusing Detainees; Prison Service Says It’s a ‘Routine Exercise’ Ha’aretz reports: Israeli Prison Service personnel in the security wing of Megiddo Prison handcuffed and humiliated detainees on Friday morning, despite no unusual incident occurring in the prison. Photos and videos obtained by Haaretz show dozens of detainees lying on their stomachs while handcuffed, some without clothes, as a guard dog barks over their heads. The Prison Service described this as a “routine exercise.” The Prison Service said in response that it “maintains an operational routine for the safety of the prison inmates and the public. In this case, too, in an operation that includes intelligence [gathering], soldiers of the ‘Nachshon’ unit…raided terrorist cells, searched them and seized assault weapons and prohibited materials.” The service failed to present any of the assault weapons allegedly seized. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) has urged the United Nations to open an independent investigation. The group has also said that the Israeli authorities are “deliberately” leaking images and footage of the torture of Palestinian detainees, explaining in a statement that this was “part of the competition between the ministers of the current government over who tortures and kills Palestinians more”. UNICEF says Israelis refusing to facilitate polio vaccine campaign Al Jazeera reports: UNICEF says it is making every effort to distribute the polio vaccine in Gaza during the agreed-upon pauses in fighting. However, it reported that Israel continues to deny medical teams access to communities in certain areas of southern Gaza. Nearly 355,000 children have received the vaccine in spite of Israel’s lack of cooperation. Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Khan Younis: Israeli legislator calls on police to probe B’Tselem activist for ‘aiding the enemy’ Middle East Monitor reports: Israel’s Likud Party Knesset Member Tally Gotliv called for the execution or life imprisonment of human rights activist Yuli Novak following her speech at the UN Security Council on Wednesday. Novak, the executive director or Israeli rights group B’Tselem, told the UNSC: “Since Israel was founded, its guiding logic has been to promote Jewish supremacy over the entire territory under its control.” She added that the far-right Israeli government has been “cynically exploiting” its citizens’ “collective trauma” since the 7 October 2023 infiltration of Israel by Palestinian resistance fighters. It is doing this, she explained, “to violently advance its project of cementing Israel[i] control over the entire land … committing war crimes almost daily.” Gotliv called for Novak to be probed by Israel Police “for the suspected serious crime of assistance to the enemy in war.” She said that such a crime was an offense under the penal law, “which carries the death penalty or a life sentence”. “Novak has shamefully put the state of Israel, currently engaged in a war for survival, at risk and assisted Israel’s enemies on various fronts,” the lawmaker wrote, accusing the activist of telling lies about Israel committing war crimes. Gotliv was among the legislators that joined Israeli crowds to protest the arrest of soldiers accused of gang-raping a Palestinian detainee from Gaza held in the Israeli Sde Teiman prison. NOTE: B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories strives for a future in which human rights, liberty and equality are guaranteed to all people, Palestinian and Jewish alike, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Such a future will only be possible when the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime end. That is the future we are working towards. B’Tselem (in Hebrew literally: in the image of), the name chosen for the organization by the late Member of Knesset Yossi Sarid, is an allusion to Genesis 1:27: “And God created humankind in His image. In the image of God did He create them.” The name expresses the universal and Jewish moral edict to respect and uphold the human rights of all people. Netanyahu is unequivocal about ceasefire and hostage agreement with Hamas: ‘There’s not a deal in the making’ Israel shells Lebanon with white phosphorus bombs, performs ground invasion drills The Cradle reports: According to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), Israel targeted southern Lebanon with white phosphorus on Friday. “The area between Tal Nahas and Al-Hamams towards the Marjayoun plain is being subjected to artillery shelling with phosphorus shells, which caused fires to break out,” NNA said. Israeli threats against Lebanon have escalated once again. The Israeli military said on 6 September that its Yiftah Brigade carried out drills this week simulating a ground invasion of Lebanon, moving along a “mountainous route” and “complex terrain.” NOTE: Use of white phosphorus in civilian areas is considered a war crime due to its extremely dangerous effects on the human body. White phosphorus ignites instantly when in contact with oxygen. It can burn through the human body, including through bone, causing severe, excruciating damage. It can also cause extreme harm when inhaled, with risks of suffocation, cardiovascular failure, coma, death, and other lifelong effects. The substance burns at temperatures of up to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. MORE NEWS: IMEMC Daily Reports.

STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 5: Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 5, 2024: at least 41,546* (40,878 in Gaza* – 11,308 women (28%), 16,715 children (41%) 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 691 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths. Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Ralph Nader earlier estimated 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 23 from West Bank). At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**. About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced. Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. Palestinian injuries from October 7 – September 5: at least 100,098 (including at least 94,454 in Gaza and 5,700 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how man Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.] Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 5, 2024: ~1,452 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 288*** 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. NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers. *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so. **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals. ***Approximately ten of the deaths listed above were Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah in fighting at the Israel-Lebanon border. The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents. † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

    “CNN “Meanwhile in America”

    CNN in a Byline dated September 6 by Stephen Collinson, Caitlin Hu and Shelby Rose raised the question in Meanwhile in America “Why the US keeps failing and trying again to reach a Mideast ceasefire deal?

    “When an administration repeatedly predicts s a foreign policy goal is in sight but fails to deliver, as this one has, it risks shattering its credibility and looks like it botched one of its top priority”.

    “despite its frustration, the White House has yet used all possible leverage on Netanyahu-and properly wont’” Biden is a deeply pro-Israel president “unwilling to do the right thing?

    We all know, and all America knows Mr. Biden never cared about the lives of any Palestinian whether they die in the thousands or hundreds of thousands. He does not give a damn.

    ZETEO “US Silence Despite Americans Attacked in Occupied West Bank”
    Prem Thanker writing for Zeteo (September 5) raises the question of “US Silence Despite Americans Attacked in Occupied West Bank” He referes to the Israeli forces alleged throwing “stun grenade” at US citizens, a teacher from New Jersey, in support of Jewish settler’s attacks.

    “Israeli violence against US citizens in the occupied West Bank intensified this week following near radio silence from Washington after Israeli forces shot a New Jersey teacher last month.”

    “Settlers on Wednesday allegedly attacked a shepherd in the Palestinian village of Qusra, in the West Bank. After he initially drove them out, American demonstrators arrived to support the shepherd and his sheep. A handful of minutes passed before the settlers returned in with reinforcements. The Americans began to run, but the settlers caught up to them and began throwing rocks and beating them.”

    Today September 6, the Israeli army shot and killed in cold blood an American Alsenure Eygi who was with other Americans protesting Israeli settlers in the City of Nablus.


    Of course the Justice Department, only open cases where American Jews are killed and murdered but not others American Muslims, or Christians or Arabs. Their lives do not matter. Both the Justice Department and the US State Department only wait for the release of the Israeli finding into the death… we all know what the report will say, as in the case of deliberate cold blooded murder of the Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu-Akleh. Both government agencies do not see it is worth to open its own investigation on the murder and killings by Israel of lives of Non-Jews. Not that Jewish lives does not matter it does, but we do expect our government, a government of all the people, for the all the people, should rethink that all other American lives does and should matter.

    Special Note: Thanks to CNN and to Zeteo.
