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

The pier plan, which Joe Biden touted as a way to get massive aid into Gaza has now become "the troubled " US military pier and will be permanently removed as soon as next week, US officials say.
It seems that feeding the Palestinians is more difficult than you might think.

US Gaza aid pier to be permanently dismantled after operating for just 20 days – reports​

The World Food Programme (WFP) suspended distribution convoys on 9 June, after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a hostage rescue operation that saved four Israeli hostages but killed 274 Palestinians. Apart from a day’s operations to clear the backlog of humanitarian assistance on the beach, the WFP has continued to suspend its convoys pending a full security review.

Over its two months in operation, about 8,800 metric tons of aid has been unloaded off the pier, about 500 truckloads, equivalent to a single day of deliveries before the war began. The US military pier off the coast of Gaza is set to be permanently removed as soon as next week, according to four US officials, after it is reconnected one more time to deliver any remaining humanitarian aid in Cyprus and on the floating dock several miles offshore.

This confirms the headlines that spoke of a (multifaceted) smokescreen to keep (among others) Unrwa on the sidelines and not to pressure Israel to facilitate the delivery of aid through the northern Gaza land crossings, which could easily be opened at any time.
The Israeli siege of Gaza and its West Bank settlers has so far prevented aid trucks from entering, paving the way for religious Jews to begin settling in the devastated enclaves. It is clear that Netanyahu's official policy is in that direction and beyond the border, and it was also clear to many U.S. senators and congressmen that the port was never the best idea:

The Pentagon and USAID inspectors general have launched coordinated reviews of the pier operation, they announced last month. The review comes as some congressional Republicans have railed against the troubled pier as a “waste of taxpayer dollars” that “defies all logic.”

According to Haaretz currently in the occupied areas of northern Palestine the Israeli army is expanding its military bases, building infrastructure and even paving roads in what a senior army officer described as "a protracted occupation effort." And as far as the West Bank is concerned it consists of a somewhat more or less invisible mafia-type occupation campaign.

The next censorship step: hide the death toll

Congress orders State Department to cover up Israel’s war crime death toll – NaturalNews.com

On June 26, the United States House of Representatives passed an amendment barring the State Department from citing the Gaza Health Ministry’s death toll statistics for the Israel-Hamas war. Once signed into law, it will effectively halt discussions of the war's deaths.
The House voted 269-144 for a revision to the Department of State appropriations bill proposed by a bipartisan group led by Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL). A group of 62 Democrats joined all but two Republicans in voting for the measure. The provision "prohibits funds appropriated by this act to be made available for the State Department to cite statistics obtained from the Gaza Health Ministry."

At Least 90 Dead In Israeli Strike On Gaza Tent Camp Targeting Hamas Oct.7 Mastermind
BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, JUL 13, 2024 - 06:35 PM

Another mass casualty strike has been reported on a refugee camp in southern Gaza, where the local health ministry says at least 90 have been killed, and 300 injured, after Israeli missiles slammed into Al-Mawasi camp, allegedly hitting tents where displaced persons were staying.

Israel has said that most of the victims were likely Hamas, and that it was going after the leader of the group's Qassam Brigades, Muhammad Deif, a mastermind behind the Oct.7 attacks. Throughout the day Saturday the military said it was still investigating whether Deif was killed, of which there's as yet been no confirmation.

Hamas responded by saying Israel’s "allegations about targeting leaders are false" and by design are "merely to cover up the scale of the horrific massacre."

According to some fresh updates in the NY Times:

The Israeli officials said the strikes had also targeted Rafah Salameh, the top Hamas commander in Khan Younis, who was with Mr. Deif at the time of the attack.

The Gazan authorities said that a second, smaller strike hit the center of Khan Younis, a nearby city to the east of Mawasi.

A senior American official said that Israel had told Washington that it targeted Mr. Deif, but the official said that neither Israel nor the United States could yet confirm his status.

Saudi Arabia has been among the earliest countries to weigh in, condemning the Israeli attack on the refugee camp.

"The Foreign Ministry condemns in strongest terms the continuation of genocidal massacres against the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli war machine, the latest of which was the targeting displaced people’s camps in Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip," the Saudi statement said.

Hardliners in Netanyahu's coalition government have praised the strike, saying it demonstrates the need to keep intensifying operations inside Gaza. "Congratulations to the prime minister, defense minister, the IDF, and Shin Bet. Now is not the time to take the foot off Sinwar’s neck," Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote on X.

Despite the Biden White House claiming that there's been tentative agreement on a new ceasefire deal mediated by Qatar and Egypt, the warring sides are still publicly blaming the other for lack of a finalized hostage deal.

Meanwhile, Hamas is urging Palestinians in the West Bank to rise up against the Israeli occupiers en masse. Senior Hamas official Abdel Hakim Henini in a statement called on Palestinians to "take action against the onslaught on their compatriots in the besieged Strip, and to stand up to Israeli settlers wreaking havoc across the West Bank."

"We reiterate how important it is for Palestinian youth to stand up to the occupying forces," Henini said. "A global war is being waged against the Palestinian people, their rights and their resistance forces. The US administration is a true partner in all the massacres being perpetrated against our people."

Simultaneously Hezbollah continues to bog down Israeli forces in the north, and it appears Hamas is hoping that a multi-front war more fully opens up. Hezbollah leadership has said that if Hamas agrees to a ceasefire deal, it too will halt its attacks from Lebanon.

Israel’s al-Mawasi attacks​

On Saturday, at least 90 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on a designated safe area for the al-Mawasi refugee camp population in Khan Younis, in total at least 90 Palestinians were killed and another 300 injured, and "many are still missing under the rubble".
The images document that the Israeli army had been demanding Palestinians to move to al-Mawasi, only to then perpetrate one of the deadliest massacres there since the beginning of the Israeli aggression.
The United Nations and countries across the Middle East have denounced Israel following the attack, The Palestinian envoy to the UK, Husam Zumlot, says Israel's attack on Mawasi is its "response to the ICJ [International Court of Justice] ruling 4 months ago, to the UNSC [Security Council] more than a month ago and to the ongoing ceasefire talks".

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) says Israel is acting with impunity, knowing that it will continue to receive US support despite its atrocities against Palestinians.
"President Biden must stop enabling these daily massacres and end our nation's complicity in genocide. Administration officials must begin to treat Palestinians as human beings worthy of life, dignity and justice, not as animals only fit for slaughter."

The international NGO Action Aid has issued a statement condemning the Israeli attack on displaced people in Mawasi, in the south of Gaza.
"We are utterly horrified and appalled by the devastating attack on the al-Mawasi area near Khan Younis and extremely concerned about the safety of our staff and partners in the area, some of whom we have not yet been able to make contact with," the NGO said.

"This is an area that had been designated a safe humanitarian zone, yet at least 71 people have been brutally slaughtered there today and hundreds injured, once again making it perfectly clear that absolutely nowhere is safe in Gaza.

"As yet more Palestinians mourn their loved ones or attempt to seek medical help from a health system that is overwhelmed and on its knees, we plea - yet again - for this nightmare to come to an end and for a permanent ceasefire, now," the group said.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Civil defense workers on Friday dug bodies out of collapsed buildings and pulled them off rubble-covered streets, as they collected dozens of Palestinians killed this week by an Israeli assault in a district of Gaza City.
(...)
About 60 bodies have been found so far, including entire families who appeared to have been killed by artillery fire and airstrikes as they tried to flee, said Mahmoud Bassal, the director of civil defense in Gaza. Some bodies had been partially devoured by dogs, others burned inside homes and others remained unreachable in rubble, he said.
The Israeli military said it could not comment on the discovery of the bodies.
Israel’s assault on the district began after it issued an evacuation order for the area on Monday. In a statement Friday, the military said its troops targeted the abandoned headquarters of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, where it said Hamas had set up operations.
(...)
Videos circulating on social media showed civil defense workers wrapping bodies, including several women, in blankets on the rubble-strewn streets of Tal al-Hawa and Sinaah. A hand poked out of the smashed concrete where workers dug into a collapsed building. Other video showed burned-out buildings.

FDI occupation now spreading with arrests in the West Bank. Israeli raids targeted the cities of Ramallah, Jerusalem, Hebron, Qalqilya, Tulkarem, Jenin, and Jericho, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said in a joint statement.

While the American gov't is being reshuffled by the Deep State, China is facilitating the formation of a Palestinian unity government. This brings Hamas and Fatah together, most likely under a PLO umbrella.

Palestinian factions agree to ‘national unity’ govt following China talks

The agreement follows a Knesset decision totally rejecting Palestinian statehood, and comes as ceasefire efforts remain stalled due to Israel’s position on continuing the war
thecradle.co thecradle.co

Hamas, the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) Fatah party, and twelve other Palestinian factions have signed a Chinese-brokered reconciliation agreement during meetings in Beijing, which began on 21 July and ended on 23 July.

The 14 factions agreed on “ending division and strengthening Palestinian unity,” Chinese broadcaster CCTV reported on 23 July.

The agreement was “dedicated to the great reconciliation and unity of all 14 factions,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday.

“The core outcome is that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is the sole legitimate representative of all Palestinian people. An agreement has been reached on post Gaza war governance and the establishment of a provisional national reconciliation government,” he added.

Hussam Badran, head of Hamas’ National Relations Office, said in a press statement that the agreement was a positive step on the right path and thanked China for its mediation efforts and support.

“The Beijing Declaration is an additional positive step on the path to achieving Palestinian national unity,” he said, expressing his “high appreciation for the great efforts made by China to reach this declaration.”

“The official statement signed by the factions is clear in its contents, and is not what has been published and circulated since yesterday,” Badran added. “There was agreement on the Palestinian demands related to ending the war and barbaric aggression, which are: a ceasefire, complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, relief, and reconstruction.”

He went on to say that the most important point of the agreement was the idea of establishing a national consensus government “that would manage the affairs of our people in Gaza and the West Bank, supervise reconstruction, and prepare the conditions for elections,” adding that this was Hamas’ position since the start of the war.

According to a copy of the declaration obtained by Al Mayadeen on Monday, the factions vowed to “end the Palestinian national division” and “unify national efforts to confront the [Israeli] aggression and stop the genocide.”

According to the document, the Palestinian factions will implement the agreement with support from Egypt, Algeria, China, and Russia.

It emphasizes the “commitment to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as its capital,” to be implemented through UN Resolution 181 (1947 resolution on partition) and UN Resolution 2334 (which labels Israeli settlements illegal under international law).

The declaration also highlighted the Palestinian people’s right to resistance, right to end the occupation, and right to self-determination, according to Al Mayadeen.

A final and official statement on the Beijing meeting has yet to be released.

Last week, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement called in a statement for the PLO to drop its recognition of Israel, coming as a response to the recent Knesset vote completely rejecting the establishment of Palestinian statehood.

The Beijing talks come as the US and Israel have been floating ideas on a post-war international mission involving Arab states that would administer Gaza once the fighting comes to an end. The initiatives exclude Hamas and involve a “reformation” of the PA.

Several resistance factions, including Hamas and the PIJ, have rejected these initiatives and repeatedly stressed that the Palestinian people will be the ones to decide the future of the strip and its governance.

Zionist Brownshirts, coming to a Canadian town near you? I don't think we're there just yet, but if Israel sets off a Hamas false flag at the Olympics, or if the US is dragged into war with Iran - maybe prior to the elections - it may become much more likely.

Zionist mayor in Canada gets permission to build his militia — The Canada Files

Israel supporters have become a leading fascist force in Canada. As this author has detailed repeatedly in recent months, they’ve pushed to restrict civil liberties, dismantle democratic organizations and increase policing to suppress the movement against Israel’s holocaust in Gaza.

One of the most anti-Palestinian voices in the Liberal caucus Marco Mendicino recently called for “protective zones” around MP offices. According to the former public safety minister’s plan, anyone who harasses or intimidates people within 50 to 100 metres of constituency offices would be subject to harsher criminal penalties. Far from any parliamentarian’s office, Mendicino promoted banning anti-genocide rallies on a Toronto highway overpass during the winter.

The mayor of one of the wealthiest municipalities in Québec has been another of the most vocal prominent Zionist fascists in recent months. Hampstead mayor Jeremy Levi has repeatedly called for arresting and deporting peaceful protesters and in a troubling escalation was recently granted the power to build a sort of municipal militia.

On X, Levi recently retweeted a post noting, “stop this nonsense and deport”. It showed people engaged in the democratic process under the statement “Pro Hamas supporters taking over the streets in Downtown Toronto. They are calling for an intifada which means indiscriminate terrorism.”

In another post, the mayor of the inner Montreal suburb called to imprison a man photographed at a Montreal mall with a shirt that seemed to celebrate the October 7 operation. “This is a blatant glorification of hate and violence, and this man must face charges immediately!”, wrote the mayor of the most Jewish municipality in the country. On the other hand, Levi seems fine with the many shirts this author has seen praising the Israeli military in Montreal and a stand at a recent Hampstead event that promoted the genocidal Israeli Occupation Forces.

Openly okay with Israel hypothetically killing 100,000 Palestinian children, Levi repeatedly demanded the police violently suppress student divestment encampments. After hundreds of police and private security dismantled the McGill university encampment on July 10, the mayor of one of Quebec’s wealthiest municipalities posted:

“Months ago, I unequivocally advocated for the necessary use of force to dismantle the antisemitic, pro-Hamas ‘Little-Gazas’ at McGill. Today, it has finally been forcefully dismantled, highlighting a critical delay that should alarm us all.”

In what could turn out to be a major step along the Zionist fascism pathway, Hampstead’s council unanimously approved a proposal to grant Levi the power to appoint special constables. Under Quebec law, municipal councils can confer on the mayor the power to “appoint special constables in emergencies for a period not exceeding seven days. The special constables shall be empowered, under the authority of the director of the police force or the officer in charge of the Sûreté du Québec police station, as the case may be, to prevent and repress offences under the municipal by-laws in all or part of the territory of the municipality.”

Levi made it clear the special constables plan was a reaction to the popular uprising against Canada’s complicity in Israel’s genocide. For months Levi has been pushing the Quebec government to allow private security at community centres and religious institutions to be armed with guns. It’s troubling that a racist, clamoring to kill more Palestinians, would be given the authority to appoint special constables.

Unfortunately, Levi’s Jewish supremacist fascism finds support in high places. Levi campaigned recently with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre for the party’s candidate, Neil Oberman, in Mount Royal. He was also profiled on the front of the National Post and Israeli Consul-General Paul Hirschson recently gave Levi and Hampstead a “Friend of Israel” plaque.

Do these people have no sense of shame? Simply put, they do not. This is just one of the traits that make them so dangerous.

Unfortunately I haven't seen a single outlet in the CDN right media space that seem to actually understand the events in Gaza as genocide.
