Israel-Palestine War: Hamas Breaks Out of Gaza, Israel Responds With Genocide

@Liliea​

Interesting video you posted above and btw for anybody that may want to watch it. It's only 4 minutes long.

The speakers says he doesn't believe the Israeli's are Semitic? He think the Palestinians are the Semitic's?

And new to me was; DNA testing is illegal in Israel...really? After checking it looks like that is pretty much the case.

Another short video on DNA testing in Israel. Only 5 minutes long.

Israel’s DNA wars: Forbidden tests​

Tracing your ancestral DNA is a popular activity throughout the world, companies offering home testing kits promise to uncover your geographic origins for a small fee. A Jewish TikToker took the test and found he had heritage in different parts of Europe, but in his results there was no trace of Levantine origins. A cool new thing to tell his friends about, however, he points out that if he was from Israel this test would be illegal. We delve into why Israel restricts tracing your ancestors DNA.​

Haifa mayor warns city ‘at standstill’ due to heavy Hezbollah attacks​

NOV 12, 2024
"Mayor of Haifa Yona Yahav said on 12 November that Hezbollah’s rocket attacks against the area a day earlier have forced residents to flee in panic and shops to shutter."

“The city of Haifa has received an unprecedented economic blow. Everything has come to a standstill, the streets are empty, and the shops are closed,” Yahav said on Tuesday."

"Following Hezbollah’s attacks on the Krayot settlement cluster near Haifa on Monday, images circulated on social media showing Israelis fleeing the area in droves and large traffic jams on the streets."

"Recent days have seen the Lebanese resistance’s drones reach as far as the Tel Aviv suburbs. Hezbollah targeted the Tel Aviv area with rockets on Tuesday afternoon, causing sirens to blare and forcing settlers into shelters."

"Hezbollah’s head of media relations Mohammad Afif said on Monday that there are weapons that have yet to be revealed."

“We have more,” he warned, adding that the use of new weapons will be “decided by the resistance leadership” under “appropriate management.”

One of the X reports says that 50% of the population has already gone heading for Tel Aviv and that Tel Aviv is also under attack. Videos, X's and further links in article below:

But didn't Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz say only two days before on November 10 that Israel has defeated Hezbollah. Judging from this. they don't look very defeated to me.​

Ex-NHS surgeon Nizam Mamode broke down as he told the international development committee what he witnessed when working as a surgeon in Gaza.
“It doesn’t matter who you are in Gaza. If you’re Palestinian, you’re a target.” – Professor Nizam Mamode.

Today, the International Development Committee heard evidence on the current state of healthcare in Gaza.

The Committee heard evidence from Professor Nizam Mamode, a retired NHS transplant surgeon who recently returned from a period working at Nasser hospital in Gaza. Also giving evidence were representatives from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNWRA) and other aid groups.

The session came as the deadline approaches for Israel to ensure more aid enters Gaza or face potential cuts in military assistance from the United States.

This guy is a real hero. It is interesting that he received a very sympathetic hearing from the Labour chairwoman of this UK Parliamentary Committee. The last Conservative government was overtly pro-Israel but the new Labour administration is less gung ho in its support for that state. Although, the Labour government has to be seen to be taking a balanced and even-handed approach to both sides in the Gaza conflict, I have little doubt that the vast majority of Labour MP's are more sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians in comparison to their Conservative colleagues when they were in government. However, if Britain continues to provide military support to Israel, I can see increasing tensions developing within the Parliamentary Labour Party, especially on the back benches, as the civilian death count rapidly rises (and it is very high now).

The Labour Party in Britain relies very heavily on the Moslem vote within the inner cities of England. Labour support from the bulk of Moslem voters was a natural given until the last two elections. At the last election in July, cracks in this support became evident, with Labour losing six of its seats (constituencies) to Moslem, pro-Gaza candidates even where elsewhere Labour was sweeping the board on the way to a huge Parliamentary majority. One current Labour minister only won her seat by the skin of her teeth. If the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate, the tensions within the Labour Party will become more and more apparent, especially between the Labour front bench (those MP's who are ministers in Starmer's cabinet) and the rank and file back benchers. Labour could also see a huge and permanent haemorrhaging of its core Moslem support, which could lead to it even losing the next election. Hence, where the current conflict in Gaza and Lebanon is concerned, the stakes couldn't be higher for the current Labour administration.​

On the 'How are you feeling' thread, Forum member Tomiro recently posted the following (see: How are you feeling?)

While being pleasantly surprised, I'm thinking about this C session from 2022:

(irjo) What are the chances that Trump will be re-elected as president of the USA in the coming elections?

A: Remote.

Q: (L) Does that mean that other weird things might happen?

A: Yes

Q: (Joe) Does that mean there won't be a presidential election in 2024?

A: Not exactly. Wait and see!

So are we already in 'remote' territory (he did survive multiple assassination attempts), or is it likely that some events will unfold between now and inaguration?

Although Trump is now US President elect, he won't be assuming office for another two months (20th January). Some Forum members have suggested that he might find himself walking straight into a crisis, perhaps an engineered financial crash. Afterall, the PTB presented him with the Covid (faux) epidemic last time round. However, could it be a war with Iran and Russia this time? Could the Neo Cons in Washington be setting up a confrontation with Iran whilst the malleable Biden is still the president leaving Trump to pick up the pieces? In rugby terms, this is what would be called a "hospital pass".

I post here a recent radio interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor in which he gives his views on the likely policy incoming President Donald Trump will adopt as regards the Middle East - see:

My main takeaways are that he thinks the Balfour Declaration is now dead and America's position in the Middle East is finished, the US having lost all credibility in the Arab world.​

 

[mantle]

Funny how the Jehovah Complex once it grabs someone by the throat and lifts him will never let go. And there hangs Trump.
Colonel Macgregor often visits my ruminations on the " horror of our situation" and I thank you for the above which I had missed. .Always very glad to listen to what he has to say. I share with him that the Balfour Declaration is finished. Only I believe it died a very long before our time and well deservedly so. But I take great care now a days with anything that confirms my own views because as the C's say " total truth is elusive".
and my great lesson is always my last mistake.
Subjugation is not in the Russian vocabulary and never will be. Neither does it do force concessions nor accept them . Nor permissions ..It practices the meaning of " NO " to a depth that the West cannot comprehend. it choses allies as it pleases and yes it seeks good relations but only with those who keep them and warns long before consequences land. Its relationship with China is now interdependent and there is nothing that the West can do about it and it all began with " Respect ".
Have you ever been threatened by a killer hornet's nest and only because of respect, speed and intelligence survived ?
Well...History is burdened with examples. there were and are some who double up on stupid and don't.

So, did Hitler turn renegade against the Illuminati and, like a termite trying to vanquish "Orkin" (a pest control organisation), did he attempt to supersede their power structure, which saw the Illuminati endeavouring to stop him at all costs?

And yet, just like Big Pharma requires viri and diseases, Orkin needs pests in order for it to exist. Without them it would go out of business and would no longer be necessary.

 

[MJF]

Doesn't he have RFK Jr. lined up to be Health Secretary though? If true, surely that won't please big pharma.

BTW. It is now official that RFK Jr. will be the new Secretary of Health in Trump's incoming administration. Already elements of the media are whining on about having a vaccine denier as Health Secretary.

Thanks for gathering so much info @MJF, I appreciate your thoroughness. Even if some want to see a whiff of Freemasonry around DJT, world-dominating goals don't seem to be figuring into his policies, at least for now.

A few days ago, al-Assad talked at the Arab/Islamic Summit (one can review last years talk on YT here at 1:46):

al-Assad opens, with that of which he need not speak of - but reminds:

Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's speech at Arab and Islamic Smmit yesterday - Rumble

...I will not speak about the Nazi occupation of the Zionists, their crimes and their fabricated entity, nor about the transformation of the West from a supporter of the entity and its crimes, since its establishment, to a direct and public partner.

al-Assad has no need to get into details as hinted at above, as it is all there to see. Bashar reminds:

This will not add anything to what the majority of Arabs and Muslims know, and what many others in the world know today.

Speaking in retrospect of the past concerning the many initiatives that came out over time, he said:

As for our summit, we have met and expressed our condemnation for a year, and for a year, and the crime continues.

and then Bashar poses a question to the Summit:

So, shall we all meet to reproduce the past and its events, or to change the course of the future and its prospects?

and continues by saying:

Last year, we called for the cessation of hostilities and the protection of the Palestinians, and the outcome was tens of thousands of martyrs and millions of displaced people in Palestine and Lebanon...

A sort recapitulation of historical peace events, al-Assad notes:

Our peace was a safeguard for their wars and a legislation for their settlement. This does not indicate a mistake,s but rather a shortcoming in the preparations of the tools. Our tools are language, and their tools are murder. we say, and they do. We offer peace, and we receive bloodshed. The results remain as they are. They seek to preserve the tools they use.

As Bashar had already asked of changes, again he pushes on with another question:

As for changing these results, which is what we all seek, it requires the replacement of existing tools and mechanisms, which have been tried repeatedly with no avail. If we agree on the proposed principles, how do we transform them into reality?

And by al-Assad's thinking, he provides part of an answer:

By determining their goals and the results we throw at them. By determining the tools available to achieve them. By determining the targeted parties, which in turn turn them from intentions to actions, from a plan to an achievement, and from a statement to a reality.

The goal may seem primitive to any of us when it comes to the future rights of the Palestinians people. But what is the value of these rights in general when the Palestinians do not have their fundamental right, which is the right to life? What is the value of any right given anywhere in the world, in any field for the dead? Despite the importance of working to restore all legitimist rights, the priority now is to stop the massacres, to stop the genocide, to stop ethnic cleansing.

Which leaves out the 'tools,' which al-Assad comes back to:

As for the tools, I believe that we possess them together, popularly and officially, as Arabs and Muslims, as countries and as peoples. What we need is the decision to use them in case the entity refuses to respond to what has been stated and agreed upon which is expected, and to determine our options then.

How to move forward when nothing seems to work:

Should we be angry again? Should we condemn? Should we call on the international community? Or do we boycott? Is this the weakest faith or what? Or what is our implementation plan? Without that, we encourage the continuation of the genocide and become indirect partners in it.

We are not dealing with a state in the legal sense, but rather an outlaw colonial entity. We are dealing with people in the civilized sense, but with herds of settler, that are closer to barbarism than to humanity.

It is not correct to say that the problem is the current colonial extremist government that has lost its mind, and a people that has been affected by what happened on the 7th of October last year. They all have the same ideological mind, a mind that is sick with bloodshed, a mind that is sick with delusions of superiority, a mind afflicted with schizophrenia between hating Nazism abstractly and loving it as an organic part of itself in practice.

Those are the targets of our meeting today, and they are a problem. The problem determines the means, and the means is the basis for success. Here lies the essence of our meeting today, which I hope will be successful, and that we will be able to make the right decisions, so that we will not be like those who speak to the thief in the language of law, to the criminal in the language of morals, and to the murderer in the language of humanity and so that the good intentions will never again be a starting point and motivation for more death for the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, who have spent decades paying the price of good intentions and absent mechanisms.

Peace be upon you.

His words are nothing to sneeze at, albeit there are many who don't want to make a decision, who are under extremes of pressure from within and without to do nothing.

My guess, could be mistaken, is that there are those at the Arab and Muslim Summit who have aided and abetted the 'entity' while people like al-Assad and many other know exactly who. They are being put on notice, not that anything will change, yet Bashar al-Assad made his peace, and he and his people suffered greatly over the years.

One other notice comes from Abby Martin. One will need to view this article to get the Rumple video, as it does not come up for me on Rumple. Have included the embedded transcript (bold theirs):

Transcript:

There really is such a diminishing left in Israel. I mean, just look at the genocidal onslaught. Look at the polling. Less than 2%. Less than 2% thought that Israel was using too much firepower in Gaza after they obliterated and decimated the entire Gaza Strip.

Less than 2%.

You go back to the 2014 onslaught in Gaza where 2,500 Palestinians were killed, 500 children. 95% of Israelis supported that. The open fire policy at this fortified border fence, overwhelming majority, over 90% of Israelis support that.

There were some Israeli human rights advocates that tried to take that policy to the Knesset. And it was overwhelmingly, unanimously upheld that, no, we can shoot to kill unarmed people who are just straying too close to this border fence that essentially just prevents them from getting back to their ancestral lands.

That’s how fascist Israeli society is. I hate when I see politicians just trying to denounce Netanyahu as some sort of aberration from Israeli society. No, this is the norm.
This is the norm. Look at every single cabinet minister, every single member of the Knesset is out there spewing genocide, advocating mass murder of not just Palestinians, but babies, babies. It is sick.

It is sick. And I will never forgive journalists who are towing this line and pretending like this is some sort of aberration of the Likudniks and Netanyahu’s. No, this is Israel.
This is Israel. This is a settler colonial state founded upon ethnic cleansing. And it only exists because of the continuous ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population.

And you have to have indoctrination from cradle to grave. And you have to espouse the most horrific dehumanizing language possible to paint those people as barbaric human animals.

Turkey Cuts Off Relations With Israel​

Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Benjamin Netanyahu had been in an escalation of mutual insults and accusations for months, to the point that the Turkish president accused the Israeli prime minister of being like Adolf Hitler.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Turkey has officially severed relations with Israel, according to reports in Turkish media.
News outlet Medya Ege reported Erdogan to have said, "We, as the State and Government of the Republic of Turkey, have cut off relations with Israel. We do not have any relationship with Israel at this point. Period."
Erdogan made these comments to journalists aboard his plane following his recent visits to Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan. Erdogan highlighted his condemnation of what he termed genocide in Gaza and Lebanon.

He emphasized the urgent need for humanitarian aid and an immediate ceasefire, "As you know, intense efforts are being made to keep the pressure on Israel alive and to take coercive measures against this country on the basis of international law We show it," he is reported to have said.
At the time of writing the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv is still operating and Jerusalem has not made any official statement about Erdogan's comments.
Erdogan's declaration of severing ties with Israel also comes at a time when Turkey is seeking to strengthen its relationships with other regional powers, notably Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan.

Newsweek has reached out to the Turkish Embassy in Israel for comment by email.

UN special committee likens Israeli policy in Gaza to genocide​

​

A UN special committee has said that Israeli policies and practices in Gaza are “consistent with the characteristics of genocide”.

The committee, set up in 1968 to monitor the Israeli occupation, also said in its annual report that there were serious concerns that Israel was “using starvation as a weapon of war” in the 13-month-old conflict, and was running an “apartheid system” in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

The international court of justice (ICJ) is investigating a claim put forward by South Africa that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza is genocidal, and has ordered Israel to take interim measures to prevent genocide taking place.

The new report is by the special committee to investigate Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people and other Arabs of the occupied territories. The committee, set up in the aftermath of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, is made up of representatives from three member states: Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Senegal.

There was no immediate response from the Israeli government, which has portrayed the UN in general as obsessed with, and biased against, the country. The Israeli mission informed the body earlier this month that the government would stop cooperating with Unrwa, the main relief agency providing welfare services to Palestinians, within the coming three months.

The UN special committee said that its requests to visit Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and Israel had received no response, so its staff were not able to visit the areas it was scrutinising. It said its research raised “serious concerns of breaches of international humanitarian and human rights laws in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including starvation as a weapon of war, the possibility of genocide in Gaza and an apartheid system in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem”.

The developments over the past year had led the committee to conclude that “the policies and practices of Israel during the reporting period are consistent with the characteristics of genocide”, the report said.

“Civilians have been indiscriminately and disproportionally killed en masse in Gaza,” the report added. It also referred to the “life-threatening conditions imposed on Palestinians in Gaza through warfare and restrictions on humanitarian aid – resulting in physical destruction, increased miscarriages and stillbirths”.

The committee further accused Israel of deliberately using “food as a weapon of warfare”.

“Since the escalation of the conflict, Israeli officials have publicly supported policies depriving civilians of food, water, and fuel, indicating their intent to instrumentalise the provision of basic necessities for political and military objectives,” the report said.

In January the ICJ responded to the genocide case brought by South Africa by ordering South Africa to take interim steps pending the court’s ruling, telling the Israeli government to refrain from acts violating the Genocide Convention, to prevent and punish incitement to genocide, to ensure humanitarian aid reached Gaza citizens and to preserve evidence of genocide.

Israel rejected the court’s ruling, and the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed that his country’s commitment to international law was “unwavering”.

Yeah but at this point in time what difference does the above make. I say to myself better take a step back and evaluate.
" You know very well and the stupid Americans know equally well that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the Whitehouse. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they [ Americans] do to us. We control Congress , we control the Media , we control Show Biz , we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can't critique Israel. "
