Kushner-Netanyahu Meeting Ends With Agreement That Israel Will Keep Bombing Gaza

from AntiWar

A meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a long-time family friend of the Israeli leader, ended with an agreement that Israel will continue so-called “targeted strikes” in Gaza, Haaretz reported on Monday.

The reported agreement to allow Israel to continue attacks in Gaza comes despite Kushner holding a meeting a day earlier with Hamas officials, who said they were committed to the disarmament plan announced by President Trump and the so-called “Board of Peace.”

Later in the day, Kushner told Fox News that the US wouldn’t “restrict Israel’s right to defend itself” and that one purpose of the meeting was to “clarify what that means.” He also described the disarmament deal as a “win-win” for Israel because either Hamas disarms, or Hamas doesn’t “follow through” and then Israel would have “a lot more support from the US and others to go and finish the job.”

Also on Monday, President Trump said that Israel should “stop striking Gaza” because Hamas agreed to “lay down their weapons,” comments that Hamas welcomed, though the results of the Kushner-Netanyahu meeting suggest Trump isn’t serious about putting pressure on Israel to halt all of its attacks...

Israeli drone strike on crowded Gaza cafe kills 6 Palestinians, eyewitnesses say

from MEMO

Six Palestinians were killed, including a child, and over 12 others were injured Tuesday by an Israeli drone strike that targeted a crowded cafe in the port of Gaza City, Anadolu reports.

In the immediate wake of the strike, the bodies of those killed and severely injured were taken to nearby hospitals, a medical source and eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency.

The drone attack involved the firing of at least two missiles, witnesses stated.

In a statement, the Israeli army claimed the attack had targeted Hamas commanders operating in the Al-Shati area west of Gaza City, further alleging the group had been planning attacks on its forces.

Israeli Army Radio, citing an unnamed security source, claimed the strike had targeted four Hamas commanders who had gathered at the cafe...

US Amb. Huckabee doubles down on ‘terror’ label for Israeli occupier violence

from MEMO

The US Amb. to Israel, Mike Huckabee, reaffirmed his condemnation Tuesday of extremist occupier violence in the occupied West Bank, asserting that the actions meet the American definition of terrorism.

“Once it involves an American citizen, then our involvement is pretty much automatic and it’s going to be significant because that’s our job,” Huckabee told Channel 12 in Israel. He noted that while Washington would otherwise only express concerns, the targeting of an American’s home in Qusra necessitated direct involvement.

Huckabee, a staunch ally of Israel, rejected pushback from Israeli officials about his terminology. “I’ll use the word terror,” he said, explaining that any act intended to put individuals in fear for their lives or force behavioral changes constitutes terrorism under US law. He emphasized that it applies whether the targets are nations, families, or specific individuals.

The remarks follow a siege of Palestinian homes in Qusra by Israeli occupiers, including one belonging to a dual US citizen. Earlier this month, the UN warned that violence by occupiers had reached unprecedented levels, reporting more than 1,430 attacks on Palestinians and their property since the start of 2026...

The impunity granted to Israel is as shocking as its violence

from MEMO (H/T Aletho News)

More incitement to violence from Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir exposes how colonial violence is aimed at the entire colonised population. Speaking on a podcast with former Israeli hostage Rom Braslavski, Ben Gvir said that Israeli forced should kill 30-40 Palestinians each night in Gaza. 

Braslavski requested to act as executioner should Ben Gvir’s plan come to pass, to which the security minister replied, “I will turn the world upside down to make that happen. I promise you that I will do everything I can and turn the world upside down until it happens.”

As shocking as the comments are, both are the product of an enterprise that knows it can only sustain itself through ethnic cleansing.

Israel’s Channel 14 branded all Palestinians killed during the genocide as terrorists. Among settlers that normalise the killings of Palestinians, and which even glorifies those murdering them, Ben Gvir’s comments are unlikely to elicit any lingering shock. On the contrary, Ben Gvir’s wish for extrajudicial killings may well find willing participants. And while Gaza remains within reach of the Israeli military in terms of extrajudicial assassinations, the occupied West Bank faces both Israeli institutions and settlers. 

Ben Gvir’s comments were aimed at Gaza, but Israel’s colonisation plans do not only include Gaza. The occupied West Bank, which faces daily violence from settlers, is much at risk from extrajudicial killings. In Ras al-Ain, south of Nablus, Israeli settlers besieged Palestinian families and cut off their electricity, water and food supplies. While attracting international attention, the UN as usual preferred to rely on its usual condemnations while Erika Guevara Ross, Amnesty International Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns, described the siege as “an accelerating and well-documented pattern of coordinated and strategic settler terror, enabled, backed and funded by the State of Israel.” True, but what is being done with the information that is already mainstream knowledge to the rest of the world?...

Glenn Greenwald has Lost his Mind (either that or he’s just a desperate liar) (archive)

(archived from December 30, 2013)

by Scott Creighton

It would appear that Mr. Greenwald has gone off the deep-end so to speak and is flailing about in the dark waters of desperation trying to keep his head (and more important, his brand credibility) above water.

Glenn is running around pointing his crooked little finger at “the media” claiming they were the most daunting threat to him and his invisible boy, “Edward Snowden”, keeping them from speaking “truth to power”.

Only in a world so convoluted, where the historical record is constantly manipulated and altered daily, could such a public figure utter such contrived nonsense without being laughed off a studio set by his interviewer while the techies pelt him with random garbage.

According to Russia Today, he denounced journalists in the United States and Britain, accusing them of failing to challenge those in political power and of discrediting anyone who dared to do so.

[W]e knew in particular that one of our most formidable adversaries was not simply going to be the intelligence agencies on which we were reporting and who we were trying to expose, but also their most loyal, devoted servants, which calls itself the United States and British media,” Greenwald said.

He said that the NSA programs came to light “almost entirely without them and despite them.” Their role as journalists, Greenwald claimed, “is not to be adversarial, their role is to be loyal spokespeople to those powerful factions that they pretend to exercise oversight.Huffington Post

Glenn is upset because it has become obvious to most that he has taken on the role of spokesman for the privatization of the NSA, a plan once called CISPA, and to that end, he is fronting for the intelligence op running under the guise of “Edward Snowden”

Sibel Edmonds famously challenged Mr. Greenwald recently pointing out his financial interests in this little project which are considerable. A 250 million dollar “news” project hangs in the balance for Mr. Greenwald as long as he clings onto his “leaks” and manages to weather this most recent storm with his tattered brand credibility intact.

The irony of Mr. Greenwald’s claims goes beyond bold, reaching for the psychotic.

Glenn Greenwald Using “Snowden” Leaks, Shillin for Israel and … Jonathan Pollard (archive)

(archived from January 7, 2014)

by Scott Creighton

Last night on Israel’s Channel 10 news, Glenn was standing up for Israel’s demand that Pollard is released due to the Snowden Psyop.

I think you are absolutely right to contrast the Jonathan Pollard case with Americans spying on their closest allies within the Israeli government because it does underscore the hypocrisyGlenn Greenwald

Let’s walk this one through a bit… Pollard was arrested and convicted of selling stolen top-secret NSA files to foreign assets and handing some over for free to big-time financial interests in exchange for future profits (not to mention trying to trade some of them to various countries in exchange for them providing weapons to what would later be known as “al Qaeda”)… and Glenn is currently in the business of selling stolen top-secret NSA files to foreign assets (Der Speigel and the Guardian) and promising to hand some over to big-time financial interests in exchange for future profits (Daddy Warbuck’s “news” network)

hmmmm…..

The RT story about this latest development reads like a press release put together by Greenwald and Alan Dershowitz.  To say that it is lacking in historical facts surrounding the Jonathan Pollard case is like saying “Jaws” was a story about a big fish. It doesn’t quite do it justice.

The irony of a guy selling stolen secrets voicing his support for a guy doing time for the exact same thing, is remarkable.

Manufactured Hero “Snowden”: Greenwald Reneges and Cryptome Cashes in as the New CISPA Approaches (archive)

(archived from July 1, 2014)

by Scott Creighton

With the new CISPA (CISA) ready and waiting in the wings, Glenn Greenwald’s recent promise to release details on exactly who the government has been spying on couldn’t have been timed any better… for some… not so much for those STILL being spied on all this time. Didn’t hurt the sale of his new book either, I suppose, which hit the stands on May 13th.

“Milking every red cent he can from his CIA-op “Edward Snowden” leaks, the billionaire’s b*tch, Glenn Greenwald has promised to finally release actual names of people, activists, political critics, writers and groups being illegally and unconstitutionally spied on by the federal government in tandem with various globalist corporate conglomerates.

You think he might have led with that story a year ago in order to help stop the madness, right? To let all those people and organizations know everything they are saying and writing is being harvested so they can take appropriate personal or legal action that will protect them, right? wrong.” me, May 30

Last night Glenn Tweeted that he was going to publish his big story at midnight on his billionaire-backed website, The Intercept. The masses (and the masses of obvious influence peddling bots) were all in a frenzy. FINALLY Big Glenn was going to be the hero he has been marketing himself to be. That would silence all those Snowden Truthers and Greenwald Detractors out there!

But then… 8 hours later… came the renege:

“After 3 months working on our story, USG [the United States government] today suddenly began making new last-minute claims which we intend to investigate before publishing” Glenn #BillionairesBitch Greenwald

The Missing Motive of the Snowden Psyop: CISPA (yes… CISPA) (archive)

Is Glenn Greenwald willingly setting the stage for the passage of the highly unpopular CISPA by helping to create this new “crisis” at this critical time? Is “the conversation” everyone is talking about us having, actually going to center around the passage of “Big Brother’s Friend” CISPA? I believe it is…

“The primary problem (with CISPA), according to Meeks, is that it tries to kill a flea with a baseball bat: Any alleged security the bill offers against potential hackers “comes at the expense of unfettered government access to our personal information, which is then likely to be sucked into the secretive black hole of the spying complex known as the National Security Agency.” Bob Adlemann, April 23, 2012

800 companies spent $68 million dollars lobbying congress to pass CISPA this past year. The first hurdle was  the House of Representatives on April 18th of 2013. Glenn Greenwald was contacted on May 1st by Edward Snowden. Suddenly the talk is about “having the conversation” about privacy and security, the EXACT conversation that would be required in order to push something like CISPA into becoming a law.

That is, after the right crisis is created and the MSM hype it enough.

You think that’s a coincidence? That all of this is happening in a non-election year right before the bill is to go to the senate and eventually to Obama for him to sign? I don’t think so.

As many of you know, my ongoing research into the Edward Snowden psyop has been pretty extensive. As soon as the story broke, I started with one theory as to why they would stage this leak which naturally evolved into another as I learned more and more information became available.

But since the beginning, I have understood that this was and is a staged operation.
