Joe Biden Sent the Salvador Option to Gaza in Mid October

How do you 'starve the oxygen from Hamas' (as an Israeli leader recently said) or any insurgency? Is it weapons or food or water? No. The Salvador Option teaches us the only way to rid a population of an active insurgency is to punish the civilian so horrifically they will turn on their own people, their own insurgency, to make it stop. That is what we sent Glynn to teach the Israelis and that is what they have been doing ever since.

Netanyahu's Spoiled Brat Son Calling for Greater Kurdistan Project to Steal Still More Land in Middle East

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: Here is a news report on this brat talking about Greater Kurdistan. Photo on this page shows him with a swollen coke-face.

Bibi Netanyahu's son is calling for the completion of the Greater Kurdistan project. Busting off large parts of Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran to form one new nation, controlled entirely by US and Israeli business interests.

Birthpangs of the New Middle East if you will.

It's all kicking off now folks. Got to get more wars going to keep people from focusing on daddy's genocide in Gaza.

Biden seems to be a comatose puppet at the hands of the MIC, Zionists and financiers. He's just rubber stamping whatever crazy shit those neocons put in front of him.

Joe Biden Sent the Salvador Option to Gaza in Mid Oct

by Scott Creighton

Lt. Gen James Glynn was sent to Israel in mid October 2023 to help the IDF 'plan for a conflict with as few civilian casualties as possible' says the propaganda.

Among the “military advisers” being dispatched to Israel is Marine Corps Lt. Gen. James Glynn, who previously helped lead special operations forces against the Islamic State and served in Fallujah, Iraq, during some of the most heated urban combat there, according to a US official who is not authorized to discuss Glynn’s role and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Glynn is responsible for one of the bloodiest campaigns in the history of the Iraq War and one of the first. But not only that, in-between in 2008 he wrote in support of something called the Salvador Option being used in Iraq to deal with the insurgency and civilian support base that kept it going. 

The Salvador Option is the use of death squads to capture, torture and kill civilians who don't like our occupation. 

That is what we sent to Israel two weeks after Oct. 7th incursion by an occupied people.

Is it any wonder that Biden continues to support the genocide no matter what?

Is it any wonder the genocidal Zionists feel above the law?

Biden move on Ukraine puts world into ‘new reality’ – NYT

(I wonder which foreign government put pressure on him to let Zelenski start WWIII? Yeah, you guessed it... Israel)

from RT

Ukrainian troops are likely to start firing US-donated weapons at targets in Russia's Belgorod Region this week, after Washington relaxed restrictions on where they can be used, reports in the Western press have confirmed.

US President Joe Biden previously maintained that to avoid “World War III,” American arms sent to Ukraine could not target what the US considers Russian territory. The policy change allows Kiev to attack exclusively military targets that pose a direct threat to Kharkov Region, which borders Russia’s Belgorod Region and has seen intense fighting this month. Russian troops made significant territorial gains in the area.

”This is a new reality,” a senior US official told The New York Times, “and perhaps a new era” in the Ukraine conflict. Biden appears to be the first American president to authorize attacks against a nuclear-armed nation on its soil, the newspaper noted on Thursday.

The NYT report provides a detailed account on how Biden’s opinion was moved by foreign pressure and members of his administration...

Palestinian American nurse fired for calling Israel's bloodbath in Gaza 'genocide'

(This is how they fight. They run to your bosses and claim that by speaking the truth about a situation, it puts them 'at risk'... I guess because they are Jewish... and therefore you must be fired for saying something completely true. It is madness and stupidity and cowardice that companies are forced to give into such backhanded, slimy tactics.)

from PressTV

A Palestinian American nurse has been fired from her position at a hospital in New York City following her description of Israel's actions in Gaza as "genocide".

Hesen Jabr, who was working at the NYU Langone Health, a major New York hospital system, announced on Instagram that she received an award on May 7, and a termination letter later in the same month.

In her award acceptance speech arranged to recognize her efforts in supporting grieving the mothers who experienced pregnancy and childbirth loss, Jabr had drawn her connection with mothers who had experienced the loss of their babies “during the current genocide in Gaza”.

"It pains me to see the women from my country going through unimaginable losses themselves during the current genocide in Gaza," Jabr said in the video of her speech that she posted online. “This award is deeply personal to me for those reasons.”

“Even though I can’t hold their hands and comfort them as they grieve their unborn children and the children they have lost during this genocide, I hope to keep making them proud as I keep representing them here at NYU,” she added.

Upon returning to office on May 22, Jabr discovered that she had been dismissed from her duties at the hospital, with the hospital authorities claiming that she had “offended people” and “put others at risk” during her online speech...

Egypt warns of ‘military response’ after Israel’s seizure of sensitive buffer zone

from PressTV

Egypt has warned it’s ready to respond militarily after Israeli troops seized a sensitive corridor of land along its border with the Gaza Strip.

According to the Wall Street Journal, ties between Tel Aviv and Cairo are now fraying, with Egypt having told Israel it will not hesitate to respond militarily if it feels its security has been threatened.

It came after the Israeli military said the regime’s forces had taken “operational” control over the 14 km-long corridor along Gaza’s border with Egypt.

“The Philadelphi Corridor served as an oxygen line for Hamas, which it regularly used to smuggle weapons into the area of the Gaza Strip,” Daniel Hagari, Israel’s chief military spokesperson, claimed, using the Israeli military’s code name for the 14 buffer zone.

An Israeli military official has clarified that there were Israeli “boots on the ground” along parts of the corridor.

Israel has claimed there are at least 20 tunnels in the Philadelphi corridor, but Egypt has denied the existence of the tunnel network linking Egypt’s Sinai and the Gaza Strip.

“Israel is using these allegations to justify continuing the operation on the Palestinian city of Rafah and prolonging the war for political purposes,” a high-level Egyptian source said, according to state-linked Al-Qahera News.

Earlier this year, Egypt said that an Israeli military presence there would violate the 1979 peace treaty between the two regimes...

Hamas says ready for 'complete agreement' if Israel ends war

from PressTV

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says it has told mediators that it is ready for a "complete agreement" only if Israel stops the war, rejecting further talks amid the ongoing war.

"Today, we informed the mediators of our clear position that if the occupation stops its war and aggression against our people in Gaza, our readiness (is) to reach a complete agreement that includes a comprehensive exchange deal," Hamas said in a statement.

Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported on Tuesday that Tel Aviv had handed over a written Israeli proposal to key mediators, Qatar and Egypt, to resume negotiations for the exchange of captives with Hamas and a ceasefire in Gaza.

The last round of indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel, hosted by Egypt earlier this month, stalled due to the regime’s invasion of the southern city of Rafah.

Hamas stressed that it will not take part in further talks as long as the genocidal war continues. 

"Hamas and the Palestinian factions will not accept to be part of this policy by continuing negotiations in light of the aggression, siege, starvation and genocide of our people," the statement read...

Biden Admin Cannot Veto UN Resolutions B/C They Helped Israel PLAN the GENOCIDE

The building of the Nakba Pier at the new Netzarim Settlement site in Gaza along route 749 (aka the Netzarim corridor) and the continued support of the IDF's brutal actions in Palestine prove the United States is not only complicit in Israel's genocide but they are actually a partner in this war crime and therefore they should not be allowed to veto any UNSC resolutions.

Brave and Emotional Speech Sending the World to Tears by Palestinian Envoy at the UN Meeting

 from The African News Network



God Wiped Biden's Nakba Pier Off the Damn Map Before Israel Could Rebuild Netzarim Settlements

 by Scott Creighton

So who exactly are 'God's chosen people' now? Hmmm? Is God to be declared an anti-Semite?

After only being in operation for a week and a half, God sent a 'North African storm' over to Gaza to erase it from the coastline. He/she knew that according to reports, none of the aid brought into Gaza via the pier had made it to the Palestinians anyway, probably ending up being given by the IDF to rabid racist zealot settlers in the West Bank instead.

Yep, the Nakba Pier, actually designed to facilitate the forced removal of Palestinians from Gaza (since our puppet in Egypt said it would be a bad look for him to let them force em all into desert concentration camps in the Sinai) was washed away after a mysterious squall appeared out of nowhere.

Reports are that the boats they were using to ferry aid and other things from transport ships to the Nakba Pier became dislodged from their moorings and drifted off without anyone on board some ending up beached in Gaza and others drifted all the way to Israel.

 These images released by Maxar Technologies shows the newly completed pier on the Gaza Strip on May 18, 2024, top, and ther emaining section of the temporary pier on May 29, 2024. A string of security, logistical and weather problems have battered the plan to deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza through a U.S. military-built pier. Broken apart by strong winds and heavy seas just over a week after it became operational, critics complain that the project hasn’t lived up to its initial billing or its $320 million price tag.(Satellite images ©2024 Maxar Technologies via AP)

The Nakba Pier is built at the end of the Nakba Highway which was started at the beginning of the current conflict. It's located near Netzarim beach where the highway ends which implies someone has some big plans for a new resort location to eventually be connected to the highway to Glorious Israel.

'The Netzarim Corridor or Route 749 is an east–west passage through the Gaza Strip built by the Israeli Defense Force to permit them access for military purposes.' AP

'IDF soldiers posted in the Gaza Strip on Monday documented the American pier near Netzarim beach sinking in the water. The soldier who shot the video is overheard saying: “This is what happens when you help the enemy.” The Jewish Press
Perhaps most telling: 'The corridor is named for the site of the former Israeli settlement that it includes.' Yep they named it after an illegal settlement that was there in the past implying they are planning to steal the land and rebuild the settlement.

Brazil’s president withdraws his country’s ambassador to Israel after criticizing the war in Gaza

from the AP

Brazil withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Wednesday after months of tensions between the two countries over the war in Gaza, the latest repercussion from a South American nation over Israel’s military campaign in the Palestinian territory.

The move was announced in Brazil’s official gazette.

Israel’s foreign ministry said no official message has yet been received from the Brazilian government on the matter. However, following the media reports, the Brazilian chargé d’affaires was summoned to appear at the ministry on Thursday for a meeting.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been a frequent critic of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, which he compared to the Holocaust earlier this year. That led Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz to summon the Brazilian ambassador, Frederico Meyer, to the national Holocaust museum in Jerusalem for a public reprimand...

US calls Algeria’s proposed UN resolution demanding Israel halt offensive in Rafah not helpful

The draft resolution, obtained Tuesday evening by The Associated Press, also demands that the cease-fire be respected by all parties and calls for the release of all hostages.

Some diplomats said they hoped for a quick vote, even as early as Wednesday, but the U.S. opposition leaves the resolution’s future in doubt.

'1200 innocent Israelis slaughtered, mutilated, raped, tortured'

The TOTAL body count of Israelis killed SINCE Oct 7 2023 currently stands at 1.130 with over 600 of them being IDF soldiers, most of whom were killed AFTER Oct 8th.

Many of the 530 or so Israeli civilians killed on Oct. 7th were killed by the IDF. This is not up for debate, it is a recognized FACT so stated by both the IDF as well as by Israeli press outlets.

German foreign minister says she saw nonexistent 7 Oct. rape video

 (Remember Biden saying he had seen images of the 40 beheaded babies? Vichy collaborators lie. That's what they do.)

from Electronic Intifada

German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock claimed on Sunday that she saw a video filmed by a member of Hamas of an Israeli woman being raped on 7 October 2023.

But such a video does not exist...

Since Israel began propagating the 7 October mass rape hoax, at no point has any official Israeli source claimed that a video exists of any rape in progress.

This was confirmed in an article in Haaretz last month.

“From inquiries put to three bodies in the defense establishment by Haaretz, it emerges that the intelligence material collected by the police and the intelligence bodies, including footage from terrorists’ body cameras, does not contain visual documentation of any acts of rape themselves,” the Tel Aviv newspaper stated.

The UN team headed by Pramila Patten also reviewed thousands of photos and videos provided by the Israeli government and concluded in its report published in March that “in the medicolegal assessment of available photos and videos, no tangible indications of rape could be identified.”

Despite the UN report’s pro-Israel biases, it also confirms that “no digital evidence specifically depicting acts of sexual violence was found in open sources.”...

Israeli embassy in Mexico on fire as protesters express anger over Rafah massacre

from PressTV

Angry demonstrators have torched the Israeli embassy in Mexico City to denounce the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, after clashes erupted between law enforcement and protesters.

Pro-Palestinian protesters participated in the "Urgent action for Rafah" and voiced their outrage at the embassy of the Israeli occupation, which was set on fire by protesters with the use of Molotov cocktails.

Protesters concealed their identities and hurled stones at the riot police in retaliation to their crackdown against the protest by obstructing their way to the compound and tear-gassing them.

A clash with law enforcement ensued when a group of demonstrators attempted to dismantle the barriers obstructing their access to the diplomatic mission.

There were unverified reports of several people injured in the chaos.

Rafah massacre: Resistance says US statements prompt Israel to kill more Gazans

from PressTV

The Palestinian resistance groups have condemned the recent statements made by the White House spokesman regarding Rafah carnage, saying the remarks prompt the Israeli regime to continue its aggression and acts of genocide in Gaza.

The resistance groups made the remarks in a statement on Wednesday, a day after John Kirby said the regime’s deadly strikes targeting displaced Palestinians in Rafah did not cross a “red line” and would not lead to a change in Washington’s policy towards Tel Aviv.

“The statements of the pillars of crime and terrorism in the American administration serve as motivation and encouragement for the leaders of the Nazi zionist entity to continue killing and exterminating women and children and to practice all types of crime with complete freedom.”...

Israeli military moves further into Rafah, has full control of Philadelphi Corridor

(This is a direct response to the United States continuing to stand behind the savage Zionist genocide in Gaza. As the rest of the world condemns Israel for their brutality, in the U.S. Biden's PR team tries their best to pretend like this is all just an accident and the IDF is still the most moral army in the world. This is the power of AIPAC and the Zionist bankers and financiers who own our government. As much as these actions diminish Israel's reputation in the world, so to do Biden's undermine ours. #VichyAmerica )

'The Israeli military continues to move its forces further in the central and western parts of Rafah, after plunging the city into total darkness overnight Israeli forced seized more of the border area with Egypt, known as the Philadelphi Corridor.

Israel's Rafah killings do not cross red line, no change in policy: US

Israel's recent massacre in southern Gaza's Rafah would not trigger any policy change from the U.S., the White House said Tuesday.

Gazan health authorities said at least 45 displaced people were killed as a blaze tore through a camp for displaced people following the Sunday strike by Israel.

But Washington does not believe that Israel's actions in Rafah amount to a full-scale operation that would breach Biden's "red lines," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said.

"As a result of this strike on Sunday I have no policy changes to speak to," Kirby told a White House briefing. "It just happened, the Israelis are going to investigate it."

Kirby added however that "this is not something that we've turned a blind eye to" when asked "how many charred corpses" it would take for Biden to change course on the issue...

WHO, Cenk, 9/11, Rafah and That Fake IDF Reservist's Treason Video

Lot's to talk about today. Lets get to it.

Did Netanyahu Produce the Treason Reservist Video to Kick Off Civil War in Israel?

by Scott Creighton

(video at end of article)

Benjamin Netanyahu's party-boy son Yair, living the high life (in so many ways) in Miami, shared a video reportedly from a reservist in the IDF claiming that he speaks for 100,000 other reservists who will openly refuse any order to leave Gaza since, as he puts it in the video, 'this is a once in a lifetime opportunity' and then later says they will 'call for Israeli citizens to come to Gaza and they will protect them'

In Israel hasbara is described as propaganda while outside it is called 'education'

This is being investigated by the IDF and Israeli law enforcement as treason and it is not clear yet whether or not Bibi's coke-head offspring will be included in the round-up. Needless too say, AIPAC servants in the Biden administration will probably not force him back to Israel to stand trial for what is clearly an attempt to foster a civil war in Israel.

The video features said reservist, hiding his identity, in what appears to be a random run down location made to look like its been filmed in Gaza. But it is clearly fake.

The masked reservist claims they will not follow the orders given by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and will only answer to Bibi himself even if he is ousted from office.

He takes exception to the statement made by Gallant late last week demanding Bibi make public his exit strategy from this conflict by a certain date and if he fails to do so Gallant says he will withdraw from the war cabinet and the coalition government which will drive Bibi from power.

As you can see this video certainly serves the interests of the Zionists as well as Bibi himself and as it just so happens it was released by his son.

In all likelihood, Bibi had this fake video produced (C.I.T.E.?) and gave it to his son to release for him.

Egyptian soldier killed in Israel border incident

from the BBC

An Egyptian soldier has been killed in an incident involving Egyptian and Israeli troops in the border area near Rafah.

The Egyptian and Israeli militaries are investigating what happened.

Israeli media say there was an exchange of fire, but there are few other details and no reports of Israeli casualties.

Tensions between Egypt and Israel have heightened since Israeli forces took control of the Gazan side of the Rafah crossing point three weeks ago as part of their offensive against Hamas.

Egypt is a strong supporter of the Palestinians and has condemned Israel's military campaign in Gaza and the killing of thousands of civilians by Israel in the war.

Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace deal with Israel 45 years ago and, although it has held, relations between the two sides have often been frosty. Deadly incidents between Egyptian and Israeli troops are rare, however.

Hours before the shooting, Egypt's foreign ministry condemned an Israeli strike on Rafah which killed at least 45 people, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry. It accused Israel of the "targeting of defenceless civilians"...

The Gaza Strip’s collapsing health system is under further strain after the Israeli army intensified bombing in Rafah’s Tal as-Sultan area and other parts of the enclave, a day after an attack on a camp in Rafah killed 45 Palestinians.

The Indonesian Field Hospital is the latest medical facility in Rafah to be hit with the attack on Monday causing damage to the hospital’s upper floors.

Medical staff and patients are reportedly trapped inside the facility, where many Palestinian families are also taking shelter.

Earlier on Monday, Rafah’s Kuwait Speciality Hospital was forced to shut down after an Israeli attack just outside the gates of the hospital killed two of its medical staff.

The WHO's Pandemic Preparedness agenda has FAILED. YES, NOW! I explain why. Don't be fooled.

from Meryl Nass

No, you don’t have to wait until the fat lady sings. Its OVER!!!

The entire pandemic preparedness project has been rolled out through lies and stealth. Globalists created legal documents that are replete with euphemisms and flowery language, always disguised to hide the documents’ true intentions. But we saw through them and didn’t let them get away with it!

And that is what they are doing today, attempting to make people think they can still pull it together. They don’t want you to savor this sweet victory.

But they are not stopping me from pulling out the corks and dancing. The treaty cannot be resurrected from the ashes. It is not a Phoenix, despite what some want you to think. This was the foundational agreement for the Treaty:

[A]s negotiators are fond of stressing: “nothing is decided until everything is decided.” I heard this over and over and over as I watched the proceedings and read about the negotiations. Yet the phrase is hard to find today wrt the WHO. I suspect the thought police have scrubbed it from the search engines.

So NOTHING in the treaty can rise from the ashes of the negotiations to be voted on this week. The treaty is done. People now understand what it was about, what was in it, and how it was the first step to a One World Government. They have said NO to all that.

What about the IHR amendments? While it is true that some articles in the amendments had the agreement of negotiators, and could be voted on, the agreed-upon items were not the dangerous ones. They tended to be the flowery language ones, not the meaningful ones. With a single exception: interestingly, the negotiators were fine telling nations to surveil their citizens and combat misinformation and disinformation, i.e., they were find with censorship and propaganda...

Time to Treat Zionists Like Pedophiles (video)

 

Time to Treat Zionists Like Pedophiles... they earned it

by Scott Creighton

 Image

As a species we have a natural instinct to protect our children. Not just children related to us, but all human children. It is part of our survival instinct which most animals share as well. Wildebeests in Africa will circle back when a pack of lions single out a calf to attack them, protecting the young of the herd. It is instinct shared by almost every single animal on the planet.

But this basic instinct is not shared when it comes to zionists and their apologists/collaborators because they don't see Palestinians as part of their species.

This is why humans, across the board, loath pedophiles. They are universally hated. They hide their feelings and do their dirty deeds in secret, in the dark, hoping no one will ever know.

That's why when this whole thing started the Zionists in the IDF worked with a local news station to craft a fake news story about 40 beheaded babies. They did that to tap into the universal loathing of those who deliberately harm children.

That story fell apart and since then the Zionists in the IDF have exterminated over 15,000 children in Gaza... as their apologists and collaborators say nothing.

It is time we look at Zionists and their supporters the same way prisoners in American prisons view pedophiles: as sub-human. Because... they are.

Palestinians pray next to the bodies of their relatives killed in an Israeli bombardment

  • Israeli forces have bombed a tent camp housing displaced people in a designated safe zone in Rafah, killing 45 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The attack has triggered an international outcry, leading to calls for a ceasefire.
  • The attack on the camp in Tal as-Sultan came after Israeli forces bombed shelters housing displaced Palestinians in other areas including Jabalia, Nuseirat and Gaza City, killing at least 160 others, according to Palestinian officials.
  • Israel’s top military prosecutor described the Rafah attack as “very grave” and said an investigation is under way. Earlier, the Israeli military confirmed the attack, saying it targeted Hamas fighters.
  • At least 36,050 Palestinians have been killed and more than 81,026 people have been wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s attack on that date stands at 1,139, with dozens still held captive.

'Children burned alive': Death toll from Israel attack on Rafah safe zone rises to 50

from PressTV


The death toll from the Israeli regime’s airstrikes against a designated safe zone for displaced people in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip has risen to at least 50 people.

ActionAid UK, the British chapter of an international relief organization, reported the fatalities on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, Israeli warplanes fired eight missiles toward makeshift shelters housing internally-displaced persons in the city’s northwest.

“These shelters were supposed to be safe havens for innocent civilians, yet they became targets of brutal violence,” the organization said.

“Children, women, and men are being burned alive under their tents and shelters,” it noted, warning that the number of fatalities could rise.

Reacting to the massacre, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas called it an “egregious affront” to a recent ruling by the International Court of Justice, which ordered the Israeli regime to “immediately” halt its offensive against Rafah...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan led Monday a global condemnation of the Israeli massacre of displaced Palestinians at a Rafah "safe zone."

He said the massacre of at least 45 people, mostly women and children, once again exposed the true face of "terrorist state" Israel.

"Sunday's attack on Rafah, which came after the International Court of Justice's order, has exposed the treacherous and bloody nature of the terror state," he said in a televised address.

The Turkish president also lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying: "The embattled Netanyahu and his murderous network are trying to extend their grip on power by massacring people as they fail to defeat Palestinian resistance."

"Netanyahu won't be able to save himself ... like (former Yugoslav strongman Slobodan) Milosevic, (genocide convict Bosnian Serb politician Radovan) Karadzic, and (late German dictator Adolf) Hitler, who he is imitating," he added.

Erdoğan also vowed that Türkiye would do everything in its power to hold those "savages" to account...

At least 45 Palestinians, mostly displaced women and children, were killed Sunday when a barbaric Israeli bombardment targeted a Rafah tent camp for displaced people.

The Gazan Health Ministry said in a statement that the strikes "claimed the lives of 45 martyrs and left dozens injured, most of them children and women," while the Israeli army claimed it had targeted Hamas members.

The media office in Gaza earlier said the attack hit a center run by the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees in Tal al-Sultan near Rafah, branding it a "horrific massacre."

Israeli aircraft targeted several tents in the area, the media office said, adding that missiles and 2,000-pound bombs were used.

Earlier, Gaza's civil defense force said it transported 50 people, including dead and injured, after the bombing. The targeted area sheltered at least 100,000 displaced people, it said.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society in a brief statement said its ambulance crews were moving the victims to nearby medical centers.

The attack led to fires engulfing the area some of which are still raging, according to witnesses.

"We retrieved a large number of child martyrs from the Israeli bombardment, including a child without a head and children whose bodies have turned into fragments," a Palestinian paramedic told Anadolu...

Are Genocidal Zionists Blackmailing RFK Jr. with Lolita Express Info? Inquiring Minds Want to Know (video)


 

Protesters in Tel Aviv are demanding Israeli government priorities captives' return


 

' Israeli police fired water cannon and forcibly removed demonstrators in downtown Tel Aviv as thousands rallied to demand urgent government action to bring home captives from Gaza. Protesters observed a minute’s silence in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square in honour of the captives whose bodies were recovered by Israeli troops this month' 

Keep in mind it is illegal to protest against this genocide in Israel.

Are Genocidal Zionists Blackmailing RFK Jr. with Lolita Express Info? Inquiring Minds Want to Know

by Scott Creighton

Do you wonder why RFK Jr. gave in and started sucking up to the Zionist so quickly and completely after he made his comment about China and 'Ashkenazi Jews' not catching Covid-19? 

A recent slip during an interview on Zionist shill Tim Pool's podcast might just clear things up a bit.

First a little background info:

'Robert F. Kennedy Jr. grappled with what he called his biggest defect — “my lust demons” — while keeping a scorecard of more than two dozen conquests, according to his secret diary.

The thick, red journal was found in their home by his wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, who, distraught over their impending divorce and Kennedy’s serial philandering, 'committed suicide' last year...' Post



 'A Post reporter who questioned Kennedy Friday about the diary was first met with six seconds of stunned silence.

“I don’t think there is any way you could have a diary or journal of mine from 2001,” Kennedy then said. “I don’t have any comment on it. I have no diary from 2001.” Post

  • Richardson married Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on April 15, 1994
  • On May 12, 2010, Kennedy filed for divorce from Richardson. Kennedy and his wife separated when he filed for divorce.
  • On May 16, 2012, Richardson was found dead at her home in Bedford, New York 

'The couple was not yet divorced when she died and were bitterly arguing over issues involving custody and finances.' Post

Turns out, Mary Richardson Kennedy found his little red book of conquests and was heartbroken over it. It made her sick. She separated from him and his people filed for divorce so it would look better for him but they didn't push it through meaning he wanted reconciliation when she did not. Because he was a Kennedy he won custody of the kids then he set out to smear her good name making all kinds of claims about her abusing him and being an addict. However:

 'In the summer of 2001, Kennedy writes that “I have been given everything that I coveted — a beautiful wife and kids and loving family, wealth, education, good health and a job I love yet always on the lookout for something I can’t have. I want it all,” he writes. “No matter how much I have — I want more.” Post

Her 'suicide' was certainly convenient for RFK Jr. It put to rest any worries about his behavior and infidelity coming out during a very public divorce proceeding. Plus, given his own hand written journal entrees, it was very likely, since divorce judges often side with the mother in the end when it comes to questions of custody, he was probably going to lose his kids.

That wouldn't look good for Camelot. 

US should erect monument(s) to (CIA Assets) Assange (and Snowden) – RFK Jr.

 (In April of 2004 the Abu Ghraib leaked photos went public. In Oct of 2006 the CIA's WhyKeyLeaks honeypot operation was launched to trick future whistleblowers into giving them their files so they could be trashed and the whistleblowers disappeared. In Nov of 2012 nearly 800 major US corporations contributed tons of cash to US politicians to get them to pass CISPA, legislation which would allow for the privatization of the surveillance state. In May of 2013 'Snowden' psyop pushed for that very same legislation, then called CISA. For the record, CIA killed RFK Jr.'s father and uncle. Now he serves them. Just sayin)

from RT

 


The US authorities should stop prosecuting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and instead erect a monument in Washington DC to celebrate his “heroic” deeds, independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said. He insisted that the case against Assange runs counter to the freedom of the press.

The US indicted the WikiLeaks founder under the Espionage Act for assisting whistleblower Chelsea Manning in a 2010 disclosure of hundreds of thousands of classified documents related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Assange is now battling US attempts to extradite him from Britain...

According to the independent presidential candidate, “Assange should be celebrated as a hero for doing exactly what journalists are supposed to do, which is to expose government corruption.”...

Kennedy went on to say that the “same is true for Edward Snowden, who exposed illegal spying by the NSA,” calling the US whistleblower a “hero, not a criminal.”...

No reason to recognize Palestinian state: Germany's Scholz

 (He ignores the June 1967 accord which set the Green Line borders of Israel and Palestine which the vast majority of the world recognize. He does this because, like the Americans, he suggests he is waiting for Israel and Palestine to 'negociate' new borders which will allow for Zionist Israel to keep much of the land they have stolen since 1967. Of course, important to that process is making Palestine's negotiation position as weak as possible. Scumbag)

from Daily Sabah

The Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, said Berlin – which is accused of facilitating Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza – has no plans to recognize Palestine as a state, contrary to the decision of three European countries to do so.

There is "no reason” to recognize the Palestinian Authority (PA) as a separate state, Scholz said Friday in response to a question by a journalist at a news conference with Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro.

"There is no clarity about the national territory or about all other questions that are related to it,” Scholz said while adding it’s "not that far yet.”

He reiterated the need for "a negotiated solution between Israel and the Palestinians that amounts to a two-state solution,” which he said also includes a Palestinian Authority that is responsible for the West Bank and Gaza.

"But we’re not there yet,” said Scholz, adding that now it is about "achieving a longer-term ceasefire" and "ensuring that everyone involved commits to the two-state solution"...

Participation Finance

from Presidency of the Republic of Turkey Finance Office

Systemic risks and the devastating effects of the current global debt based financial system have become apparent as a result of the global financial crisis in 2008. For this reason, in the post-crisis period, searches for alternative to the existing financial system started to be discussed both in the academic community and among policy makers. Criticism of the current global financial system focuses on the facts that this system is based on debt and interest, the financial leverage causes systemic risks, excessive financialization, the disconnection between the financial sector and the real sector, and lack of ethical and moral values. Within the framework of new searches, more human-oriented alternative finance models such as socially responsible finance, green finance, and participation finance have come to the fore.

Among these finance models, participation finance is one of the most important and comprehensive alternatives offered to the existing financial structure with its nature and basic principles. In this regard, participation finance presents a very important alternative in terms of reducing systemic risks and establishing a close link between the real sector and the financial sector, as it prioritizes moral values, is based on assets and is based on risk sharing...

Erdoğan criticizes global inequities, advocates for Islamic finance

from Daily Sabah

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Friday stressed the injustices inherent in the current global system and emphasized the significance of participation finance, while also slamming the failure of international systems in light of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.

Speaking at the Albaraka Islamic Finance Summit in Istanbul, Erdoğan affirmed Türkiye's role as a bridge between financial markets and stressed ongoing efforts to increase the share of participation finance, also known as Islamic finance, within the country, alongside completing necessary regulatory measures.

He pointed to the growing wealth disparity worldwide, and said international systems have lost balance.

Four points on solidarity after the Gaza genocide

from Mondoweiss


The history of the Zionist settler state in Palestine is an unbroken chain of violence perpetrated by it against those whose land it covets. This statement, however inconvenient it is to Zionist myth-makers and liberal Zionist fantasies of a redeemable Israel, is not an opinion. Rather, it is a meticulously substantiated, incontrovertible historical fact that only ignorance, prejudice, or plain racism can deny. 

It is more accurate to say, then, that the Zionist settler state in Palestine itself is an unbroken chain of violence. Its defining feature, its inherent and fundamental quality — upon which its existence was forged and is now inescapably maintained — is that of systematic violence enacted primarily, but not solely, against the Palestinian people whose land it stole in order to exist. 

This violence manifests in every imaginable — and often unimaginable — form, from the most genocidal and massive in scale in Gaza today, to the more routine but deeply insidious acts of aggression, humiliation, indignity, and psychological torture...

UN expert: ‘Very little hope’ of Israel abiding by ICJ order to stop Rafah invasion

from Mondoweiss

As if Israel’s legal and diplomatic woes weren’t dire enough, this afternoon in The Hague, the International Court of Justice ordered it to suspend its military operations in Rafah, to open the Rafah crossing to humanitarian aid, and to allow international observers into Gaza to ensure that evidence of Israeli genocide is not destroyed.

Today’s landmark ICJ “provisional measures” order is the Court’s response to South Africa’s May 10 application. 

The situation in Gaza — and in Rafah particularly — couldn’t be more urgent, South Africa told the top UN court in its application, triggering two days of hearings. South Africa presented on Thursday, May 16. 

“The onslaught on the Palestinians in Gaza is of a nature that can only be intended to result in the genocidal destruction of that group,” South Africa’s application stated. “In attacking Rafah, Israel is attacking the ‘last refuge’ in Gaza, and the only remaining area of the Strip which has not yet been substantially destroyed by Israel. With Rafah’s destruction, the destruction of Gaza itself will be complete.”

Israeli attorneys responded the following day, refuting all of South Africa’s charges — “obscene,” “blood libels,” all of them...

Punched, choked, kicked: German police crack down on student protests

“We are witnessing a great endangerment of academic freedom – and this has started since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza,” says Cecilia, an undergraduate student at Berlin’s Free University.

After her university published what she saw as a one-sided statement of support for Israel following the Hamas attacks of October 7, and students on campus began to experience an increase in Islamophobic harassment on campus, she and others formed a committee to show solidarity with Palestine and oppose Israel’s war in Gaza.

At universities across Germany, thousands of students like her have mobilised in support of Palestine, leading demonstrations, organising lectures and sit-ins occupying university buildings and campus lawns. They have also opposed the speeches of visiting Israeli officials – notably Israeli ambassador Ron Prosor who visited Cologne University in January and the Israeli judge, Daphne Barak-Erez who spoke at Humboldt University in February.

But students and university staff also say that their right to free expression has come under assault from hostile media coverage, repressive legal measures taken by universities and politicians, and the use of police violence against peaceful demonstrators.

“Staff, teachers and students who have been trying to objectively teach and raise their voice about what is happening in Gaza and Palestine have been systematically repressed,” says Cecilia...

N. Gaza sees heavy clashes as Israel ventures further into Rafah

Israeli forces intensified military strikes on Gaza on Friday, with heavy fighting reported in Jabalia in the north and tanks advancing further into Rafah in the south, according to residents and medics.

Medics said at least five Palestinians were killed when houses were hit in Jabalia and more were believed to be trapped under rubble, but that the area could not be reached due to the intensity of the bombardment.

In the southern city of Rafah bordering Egypt, where an escalating Israeli assault has sent hundreds of thousands of people fleeing from what was one of the few remaining places of refuge, residents reported explosions and smoke rising in the distance as tanks advanced further into the east.

Judges at the U.N.'s top court were due to rule later in the day on South Africa's request to order Israel to halt its Rafah offensive and withdraw from Gaza, in part of a wider case accusing Israel of genocide...

Israeli warplanes bomb Gaza after top UN court orders halt to invasion

from PressTV

Israel has bombed the Gaza Strip, including Rafah, despite an order from the UN's top court for it to "immediately halt" its military invasion of the southern city.

Israeli warplanes targeted parts of Rafah and the central city of Deir al-Balah early Saturday, just a day after the Hague-based International Court of Justice ordered Israel to swiftly stop its military aggression against war-hit Rafah.

“We hope that the court’s decision will put pressure on Israel to end this war of extermination because there is nothing left here,” said a Palestinian woman from Gaza City displaced to Deir al-Balah by the war.

The strikes on Saturday, however, proved that Israel gave no indication it was preparing to change course in Rafah. 

"Israel is an entity that considers itself above the law. Therefore, I do not believe that the shooting or the war will stop other than by force," Mohammed Saleh, another Gaza City resident, told AFP. ..

Russia Muting Musk’s Starlink Satellites Using Sophisticated Electronic Warfare Tools

from Sputnik News

The Russian military possesses perhaps the most comprehensive, multilayered and multi-domain electronic warfare capabilities in the world, using an array of short, medium, long and ultra-long range systems to effect throughout the course of the proxy war with NATO in Ukraine.
 
The Russian military continues to ramp up its ability to disrupt the Starlink internet capabilities Ukraine’s troops use to coordinate their forces, collect intel and launch drone attacks on Russian frontline positions, causing mass “outages” in the Kharkov area of the front and playing a role in the rapid pace of Russia’s recent advances.
 
That’s according to Ukrainian officials, soldiers and electronic warfare specialists queried by the New York Times to find out why Russia’s EW operations had slowed frontline troops’ ability to communicate using Starlink internet to a crawl, forcing troops to resort to simple text messages.
 
NYT warned that if Russia’s massed efforts to disrupt Starlink “continue to succeed, it could mark a tactical shift in the conflict, highlighting Ukraine’s vulnerability and dependence on the service provided by Mr. Musk’s company,” while raising “broader questions about Starlink’s reliability against a technically sophisticated adversary.”...

ICJ Rules in Favor of South Africa Orders Immediate Cessation of Israel's Military Actions in Rafah

by Scott Creighton 


The International Court of Justice has found that South Africa's concerns about worsening conditions in Gaza are founded based on all available evidence and that Israel has deliberately withheld crucial information regarding their operations. Therefore they ordered minutes ago that Israel 1. immediately cease all military operations in South Gaza (Rafah) 2. open the Rafah crossing without any hindrance of humanitarian aid going into Gaza 3. provide immediate access to humanitarian investigatory agencies looking to investigate what has been happening in Gaza and 4. prepare a report on all of their activities in Gaza within the next 30 days. This is a victory for South Africa and all those of us who still believe in the rule of law. Pardon the shaky video. Recorded it with phone watching live. (video to follow momentarily)


US Senate preparing sanctions on ICC employees – Fox

from RT

US senators have called for punitive action against the International Criminal Court (ICC) after its chief prosecutor sought arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders over the ongoing Gaza conflict, Fox News reported on Thursday. 

Earlier this week, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant of committing “war crimes and crimes against humanity” in the Palestinian enclave. He requested that the ICC issue warrants for their arrest, as well as the arrest of three Hamas leaders believed to be responsible for the October 7 attack, which sparked the latest escalation.  

In response to the move, Republican and Democratic Senators Mike Rounds and Joe Manchin called for a resolution that, according to Fox News Digital, would urge President Joe Biden and Congress to “impose financial sanctions and visa bans on officials of the ICC for an abuse of power that threatens US interests and weakens US allies.”...

Israel intensifies strikes on Gaza as top UN court ruling due

from PressTV

Israel has intensified its deadly strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip, as the UN's top court is due to rule on a plea to halt the genocidal war on the besieged strip.

Palestinian sources said Friday Israel intensified aerial and artillery strikes on Rafah and moved deeper into the southern city.

The Israeli military confirmed in a statement that the regime’s "troops are continuing operations” in the southern city of Rafah.  

Fierce clashes with Palestinian resistance fighters were also reported in the southern part of the city.

Reuters said Israeli tanks “advanced in Rafah's southeast, edged towards the city's western district of Yibna and continued to operate in three eastern suburbs.”

"The occupation (Israeli forces) is trying to move further to the west, they are on the edge of Yibna, which is densely populated. They didn't invade it yet," one resident, who asked not to be named, told Reuters via a chat app...

Israeli teachers who criticize the war have been yanked from the classroom — and thrown in jail

 (The only 'democracy' in the Middle East, or so they say)

from Forward

Sabreen Msarwi found out on Facebook that she lost her job teaching middle school last week. Her transgression: marching in a Nakba demonstration on her day off.

Sabreen Msarwi lost her job teaching Arabic at a middle school in Ganei Tikva last week after marching, as she does every year, to commemorate the Nakba, the displacement of some 700,000 Palestinians around Israel’s 1948 founding.

She is one of dozens of Israeli educators, some Palestinian and some Jewish, to be suspended or fired from local schools and universities since Oct. 7 for voicing critical opinions of Israel’s prosecution of the war in Gaza, support for Palestinian resistance, and other views the government finds objectionable. Civil rights groups and defense lawyers count at least 46 indictments over the past seven months of people in academic settings who have expressed dissent, and said that at least 28 of them spent time in jail.

“There is no freedom of speech for teachers just now,” Msarwi, who is 46 and has been teaching for 23 years, told me at her home here in Tayibe, an Arab city of 45,000 in central Israel. “We’re being persecuted for expressing our views.”...

New bill seeks to extend U.S. military benefits to Americans serving in the Israeli army

from Mondoweiss

On May 17, legislation was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. Cosponsored by Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and U.S. Representative Max Miller (R-OH), H.R. 8445 went largely under the radar, a strange outcome given the real effect it will have on furthering U.S. support for the Zionist project – in this case through direct support for those wishing to serve in the Israeli occupation army.

What H.R. 8445 aims to do is make a series of amendments to programs that are ordinarily only available to members of the U.S. military — the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) and Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). These amendments would do something unprecedented: extend these programs to American citizens serving in the Israel Occupation Forces. 

The SCRA, the result of the Bush administration’s efforts to update the 1940 Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act (SSCRA), was passed in 2003. Its primary focus is granting active duty U.S. servicemembers legal and financial protections so that they can do the bidding of U.S. empire a little more worry-free. This act’s benefits include protections against default judgments in civil legal cases, reduced interest rates on any pre-service loans to a maximum of 6 percent, protections against home foreclosure, and more...

Georgian PM accuses EU of ‘blackmailing’ him with assassination threat

from RT

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has claimed that a European commissioner told him he could end up suffering the same fate as Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who survived an assassination attempt last week.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Kobakhidze said that the unnamed commissioner warned him during a recent phone call that the West would take “a number of measures” against him if his government pressed ahead with a law requiring foreign NGOs in Georgia to disclose their funding.

“While listing these measures, he mentioned: ‘you see what happened to Fico, and you should be very careful’,” he wrote.

Fico was shot multiple times as he met with supporters outside a government meeting in the town of Handlova on May 15. He was rushed to hospital, underwent emergency surgery, and is currently recuperating from his injuries. His would-be assassin – a 71-year-old poet who allegedly disagreed with Fico’s suspension of military aid to Ukraine – has been charged with attempted murder.

Georgia’s parliament passed the ‘Transparency of Foreign Influence Act’ last week. The law requires NGOs, media outlets, and individuals receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as entities “promoting the interests of a foreign power” and disclose their donors...

Blinken lobbying for strikes on Russia – NYT

from RT

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is pushing the administration of President Joe Biden to allow Ukraine to attack targets deep inside Russia with American weapons, the New York Times reported on Thursday, referring to unnamed US officials.

The ban, according to the White House, was imposed out of concern that if US arms were used inside what Washington acknowledges as Russian territory it would trigger an escalation and potentially World War III. Blinken has been advocating for scrapping the restriction after making a “sobering” visit to Kiev earlier this month, the newspaper said, citing insider sources.

Ukrainian officials have claimed that being unable to target Russian forces across the border with American weapons led to the failure of its troops to prevent the recent Russian advances in Kharkov Region.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the offensive is a response to months of Ukrainian artillery and drone attacks in Russia’s Belgorod Region and that a buffer zone is required to deprive Kiev of the capability to make such strikes. The Times said that Ukrainian weapons “don’t pack the power and speed of the American weapons.”...

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized Israel for committing what he said the "biggest genocide of the century" in Gaza with weapons and diplomatic support of countries that have been lecturing others about human rights and international law.

Speaking at the International Benevolence Awards ceremony in the capital Ankara, Erdoğan said countries that have been providing logistics and military support to Israel are complicit in the blood shed by Israel.

"Israeli forces have turned Gaza, which was already an open-air prison due to the blockade, into a children's cemetery in the past 229 days," Erdoğan said.

He also said that as long as Western powers continue to stand behind Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu despite all "his arrogance and recklessness," massacres in Palestine cannot be prevented.

The leader of Israel's opposition party, Yair Lapid, called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Palestinian sovereignty under certain conditions, as three more European countries announced their recognition on Wednesday.

Lapid, a centrist Yesh Atid party leader, made his comments after Norway, Ireland, and Spain announced early Wednesday that they would recognize Palestine as a state effective on May 28.

Lapid, however, blamed National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for preventing Netanyahu from adopting such a position, the local Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported.

"Netanyahu should declare that under certain conditions and specific guarantees, he is willing to accept a future Palestinian state that joins in fighting terrorism,” he said. However, he did not go into detail during a press conference about these conditions and guarantees, or the nature of the cooperation from the proposed Palestinian state.

Criticizing extremist Ben-Gvir, the opposition leader said he "does not allow” Netanyahu to announce his readiness to recognize Palestine as a state, describing the current situation as "the madness we are living in.”

"This will not happen with this government. We need to send (Netanyahu government) it home and form an effective one,” Lapid asserted...

Israel kills 62 Palestinians, injures 138 others in Gaza in 24 hours: Medical sources

from PressTV

 

Israeli forces have launched fresh massacres in separate regions in the blockaded Gaza Strip, killing at least 62 Palestinians in a single day.

According to medical sources, at least 138 others were also injured who were taken to hospital.

They said the figure is the number of Palestinian fatalities and casualties who were rushed to hospitals, adding that hundreds of victims still lie under the rubble and in the streets, while rescue and civil defense teams remain unable to reach them.

Among the fatalities were at least six Palestinians who were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a residential house in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Six others were also wounded and taken to hospital.

Israeli forces also shot dead a mother and her daughter as they were fleeing Gaza's Sabra neighborhood in the center of the Gaza Strip.

Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, which has killed at least 35,709 Palestinians and injured over 79,990 others. The war began following a retaliatory operation by the Palestinian territory’s resistance movements.
