Chris Hedges: Israel is About to Empty Gaza


(Netanyahu and Trump's plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians so they can turn it into a resort town and free trade zone using displaced Palestinians as cheap labor. This is Gaza 2035 plan.)

by Chris Hedges from Sheerpost

Israel is poised to carry out the largest campaign of ethnic cleansing since the end of World War II. Since March 2, it has blocked all food and humanitarian aid into Gaza and cut off electricity, so that the last water desalination plant no longer functions. The Israeli military has seized half of the territory — Gaza is 25 miles long and four to five miles wide — and placed two-thirds of Gaza under displacement orders, rendered “no-go zones,” including the border town of Rafah, which is encircled by Israeli troops.

On Friday Defence Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel will “intensify” the war against Hamas and use “all military and civilian pressure, including evacuation of the Gaza population south and implementing United States President [Donald] Trump’s voluntary migration plan for Gaza residents.”

Since Israel’s unilateral ending of the ceasefire on March 18 — which was never honored by Israel — Israel has been carrying out relentless bombing and shelling against civilians, killing over 1,400 Palestinians and wounding over 3,600, according to the Palestinian health ministry. An average of one hundred children are being killed daily according to the United Nations. Israel is, at the same time, inciting tensions with Egypt to lay what I suspect will be the groundwork for a mass expulsion of Palestinians into the Egyptian Sinai.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, echoing Katz, said Israel would not lift the total blockade until Hamas was “defeated” and the remaining 59 Israeli hostages were released.

“Not even a grain of wheat will enter Gaza,” he vowed.

But no one in Israel or Gaza expects Hamas, which has weathered the decimation of Gaza and sustained mass slaughter, to surrender or disappear.

The question no longer is will the Palestinians be deported from Gaza but when they will be pushed out and where they will go. The Israeli leadership is apparently torn between driving Palestinians over the border into Egypt or shipping them to countries in Africa. The U.S. and Israel have contacted three East African governments – Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland – to discuss the resettlement of ethnically cleansed Palestinians...

CIAwiki Says Dead Internet Theory is a 'conspiracy theory'... how quaint.

by Scott Creighton

How quaint is that? Yet another inconvenient truth about the world we live in is discredited by the masters of the universe with their old stand-by 'conspiracy theory' label in hopes to keep folks online from having real discussions about what's going on around us.

I mean... that's kind of the core of Dead Internet theory (DIT), isn't it?

'The dead Internet theory is a conspiracy theory that asserts, due to a coordinated and intentional effort, the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content manipulated by algorithmic curation to control the population and minimize organic human activity.[1][2][3][4][5] Proponents of the theory believe these social bots were created intentionally to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to manipulate consumers.[6][7] Some proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception.[2][6] The date given for this "death" is generally around 2016 or 2017.[2][8][9] The dead Internet theory has gained traction because many of the observed phenomena are quantifiable, such as increased bot traffic, but the literature on the subject does not support the full theory' Wikipedia

Of course DIT is real. You feel it every day. Bots jump into your chats on X, they leave comments on your videos, they seem to gravitate out of nowhere in support of the next big thing in the alt-media influencer world. 

Israel’s escalating West Bank assault is part of a larger plan to split the territory in two

from Mondoweiss

Israeli forces escalated their offensive in the occupied West Bank last week across Palestinian cities and refugee camps, killing three Palestinians. The escalation came amid renewed Israeli plans to expedite annexation plans to solidify the expansion of key new settlement projects in the central West Bank, including connecting one of the largest Israeli settlements, Maale Adumim, to Jerusalem. 

Last Monday, April 7, Israeli forces opened fire at three children in the town of Turmusayya, northeast of Ramallah, killing 14-year-old Palestinian-American citizen Omar Saadeh. On Tuesday, April 8, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian woman, Aminah Yaaqoub, 30, at an Israeli checkpoint near Salfit in the northern West Bank.

These killings raised the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or settlers since October 2023 to more than 800, as the Israeli army increased its use of lethal force as part of an ongoing military crackdown on the West Bank’s cities and refugee camps...

Today’s ‘Death Squad’ Dems Enable the Trump-Backed Slaughter in Yemen, Gaza, and Beyond

from Common Dreams

...

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has sponsored Joint Resolutions of Disapproval over some of Trump’s continued backing of Netanyahu.

“As a result of Israel’s blocking of humanitarian aid into Gaza, many thousands of children there face malnutrition and even starvation,” Sanders said. “Sadly, and illegally, much of the carnage in Gaza has been carried out with U.S.-provided military equipment. Providing more offensive weapons to continue this disastrous war would violate U.S. and international law.”

Among the weapons included in the resolution are 35,000 two-thousand-pound bombs, which have caused thousands of civilian casualties over the past 18 months. The international outcry over these war crimes was so great that even President Joe Biden suspended their shipment last spring. Trump insisted that such arms shipments should be resumed, however, and the majority of Senate Democrats are supporting him.

Indeed, only 14 Democratic Senators voted for Sanders’ resolutions to block the transfer of these and other deadly weapons.

This was not a result of political pressure. Only 15% of Americans and just 5% of Democrats support additional military aid to Israel. Senate offices were flooded with calls to support the resolutions in a campaign organized by a wide array of peace, human rights, and religious organizations. Despite this, more than 70% of Senate Democrats sided with Trump and the arms industry over the wishes of their constituents.

The truth is that a number of Democratic members of Congress, whom millions of people see as leading the resistance, actually ally with Trump on foreign policy...

Resistance leader details Gaza proposal, Hamas’ stance

from al Mayadeen English

A Palestinian Resistance leader speaking to Al Mayadeen outlined on Monday the key points of the latest Israeli proposal, which includes the redeployment of Israeli occupation forces to positions held before March 2, a 45-day term for halting military operations, the opening of crossings, and the entry of humanitarian aid—but all under Israeli-imposed conditions. 

He detailed that the proposal also involves the release of nine captives, including Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander. However, the proposal fails to meet Hamas’ core demands of a permanent ceasefire and a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, he added. 

The leader further warned that the plan appears designed to gradually strip Hamas of its leverage by extracting captives without securing meaningful concessions.

He further told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli proposal seeks to disarm Hamas and ensure it does not return to power in Gaza. 

The plan also outlines a second phase of negotiations, which would address key issues including a permanent ceasefire, full Israeli withdrawal, the dismantling of Hamas’ military capabilities, and the future governance of Gaza. In conclusion, the leader told Al Mayadeen that Hamas has not yet responded to the Israeli proposal but is currently studying it.

Hamas is Not a Terror Organization and Why That Is Important

Hamas is a political party based on resistance to their occupying power, the IDF. Occupied people have a right to resist their occupiers, even by force. By claiming Hamas is a terrorist organization you give Israel a free hand in demanding the continuation of the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Gaza as they seek to remove the 'terrorists'

Morag Corridor: Israel Steadily Chopping Up Gaza, Starving it's People, While Trump and Influencers Praise Bibi

by Scott Creighton

Sometimes I think there's no hope for Americans. We are stupid nation of selfish, cowardly people.

No other civilized nation in the world, certainly NONE of our allies, think universal healthcare is commie evil... but we do.

No other civilized nation in the world, certainly NONE of our allies, think faith-based black box voting is a good thing... but we do.

No other civilized nation in the world (other than Israel) think 19 crazed Muslims with box-cutters pulled off 9/11... but we do.

And no other civilized nation in the world turns a blind eye to the ethnic cleansing, genocide and suffering being caused by Israel's Greater Israel planners on the people of Palestine... but we do.
