Palestine SitRep: Sanitizing Language While The War Escalates
The New York Times has claimed that Israel is cutting back its brutal war in Gaza:
The Israeli military has begun a new and less intense phase of its invasion of Gaza, its chief spokesman said on Monday, after weeks of pressure from the United States and other allies to scale back an offensive that has caused widespread devastation and civilian deaths.
The Nation however finds that this is certainly not the case:
The Israeli Defense Forces spokesman, Radm. Daniel Hagari, gave the Times the interview that it used for its headline. But Hagari’s quotes never actually promise the “less intense phase” in the Times paraphrase. Hagari instead describes the focus of the pitiless Israeli campaign shifting southward—while his superiors in the Israeli government indicate that it could expand regionally.
The Times isn't the only main stream media to lie about the war. CNN is routing all news through its Jerusalem bureau where an Israeli military censor takes care that everything is 'sanitized'. This while the Washington Post is sending out its most Zionist reporter to write a hit piece about pro-Palestinian news sites.
The Canadian Broadcast Corporation is using harmless language to describe Israeli air attacks while it brutalizes reports of Hamas ground attack. It even justifies this:
“Different words are used because although both result in death and injury, the events they describe are very different,” Waugh wrote. “The raid saw Hamas gunmen stream through the border fence and attack Israelis directly with firearms, knives and explosives. Gunmen chased down festival goers, assaulted kibbutzniks then shot them, fought hand to hand, and threw grenades. The attack was brutal, often vicious, and certainly murderous.”
“Bombs dropped from thousands of feet and artillery shells lofted into Gaza from kilometers away result in death and destruction on a massive scale, but it is carried out remotely,” Waugh continued. “The deadly results are unseen by those who caused them and the source unseen by those [who] suffer and die.”
All these censorship and disinformation efforts hide the reality of the brutal war from the western public.
This while the extremely brutal Israel attacks on Gaza continue as the occupation forces now move into the center of the strip:
Israeli attacks around central Gaza’s last remaining hospital caused hundreds of displaced civilians to flee over the weekend and forced most medical workers to evacuate, leaving wounded people with no good options for seeking care as fighting intensifies in the area.
Organizations including Doctors Without Borders, the International Rescue Committee and Medical Aid for Palestinians have pulled their staff from al-Aqsa Hospital in recent days, after the surrounding areas in the Deir al-Balah region came under drone attacks and sniper fire, and residents received warnings from the Israel Defense Forces to evacuate.
The people who had already fled from north Gaza now have to move further south towards Rafah where Israel is bombing them too.
The targeted killing of journalists and academics continues. However none of these are Hamas and Israel's declared aim of eliminating it is certainly not in sight. Hamas missile strike on targets in Israel continue. Even though most are harmless they cause alarms. In the north of Israel the tit for tat attacks between Hizbullah and the occupation forces continues likewise.

Hezbollah announces the targeting of the northern region command headquarters of the Israeli army in the city of Safed (13 kilometres from the border) with a number of explosives laden drones. The attack was in retaliation to Israel’s killing of Saleh Arouri and Wissam Tawil.
This was the deepest attack by Hizbullah since October 8. Later Israel attacked the burial of Wissam Tawil, a member of Hizbullah's special forces. The number of alarms in Israel from rockets launched from the north are growing on a daily basis.
Israel is driving this escalation while Hizbullah is still holding back. Its missiles could reach far further and will do so should Israel continue to escalate.
The U.S. is alarmed about the Israeli attempt to draw it into the conflict:
In private conversations, the administration has warned Israel against a significant escalation in Lebanon. If it were to do so, a new secret assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) found that it will be difficult for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to succeed because its military assets and resources would be spread too thin given the conflict in Gaza, according to two people familiar with those findings.
Private warnings are useless as long as Israel still gets U.S. support.
The Biden administration wants to be seen supporting Israel.
It also wants to be seen tamping down and ending the conflict.
But it can't have it both ways.
Shutting down ammunition support for Israel, if only for a short time, is likely the only way to bring some senses to Israeli minds.

Yes liveload that is also what REAL Judeoworshippers believe too! More on that below.
Most Zionists are Anglican , Catholic and especially Evangelical Christians or non-religious or worst of all Mammonites!
No actual Torah Judaism practitioner is Zionist. And in fact within their own teachings – the are NOT allowed to be. Any desire for a mythical ‘Israel’ is a blasphemy.
The Illegal Apartheid Entity in the Levant exists because of the Old Shapeshifting Khazarian Kings and their converted subjects/slaves that have no connection to the Ancient Semitic Lands in the Levant – many of whom never believed in Judaism ! They have only ever practiced their old businesses: Slavery, Trade, Highway robbery and murder.
The Only thing they have given the world is their Banking Houses and their invention of the Magic Money Tree. All wrapped up in fairytales. Codified in their Talmudic, Magik spells , numerology and all such non religious nonsense which aims only to justify their self delusion of being the Masters of the Universe and all the Worlds Peoples as their Slaves and Vassals to do with as they like.
Mostly done through the chutzpah of assuming leadership and striking down anyone that objects- with ultra violence – through the use of proxies, mercenaries and bought thugs – their praetorians.
The whole Western Monetarism system under their control is what every Nation State was created by them for. They control that as well as the Vatican and Pope. They used the Vatican to destroy the only real alternative to their means of control – Banking – back when Friday the 13th got its reputation as a ‘evil day’. They got rid of ‘Witchcraft’ when they took control of all knowledge being held and transmitted via an Oral Culture…
Anyways. Here are some thoughts of Ancient Judaism followers Rabbis on Zionism – if anyone wants to accuse them of being AS.
‘Torah Judaism

Response to the claims of the Zionist terrorist lobby called ADL.
Please share so everyone can learn the facts.
Are all Jews Zionists?
“Zionism is completely contradictory to Judaism!”
Jews are against Zionism because the Torah forbids Jews to be Zionists. Jews can never adopt an ideology that is forbidden in the Torah. Zionism adopted by Israel is definitely against the Jewish faith. There is no Zionism in Judaism.
Authentic Jewish Rabbis were always opposed to Zionism, which is opposite of Torah and Judaism.
Zionism and Zionists disguised themselves as Jews, usurped Jewish history and everything that Jews considered sacred, distorted Judaism and called it Zionism. Zionism is the diametric opposite of Judaism. Zionism is never Judaism.
Zionism is not Judaism.
Rabbi Chaim Brisker, one of the greatest rabbis a century ago, once said: “There have been many heretical groups in Jewish history, but Zionism is the worst.
Jews are a religion belonging to many nationalities
Zionism is the diametric opposite of Judaism
The plague of Zionism has begun to spread even in our areas. This is no time for us to be silent, for they are not silent, but rather as noisy as the ocean, casting their net for the Jewish youth.
The Zionist movement is not a movement of great Torah leaders and upright men, but rather a movement of faithless men; therefore, believing Jews, learn from the rabbis‟ example. Do not join them and do not take part in their gatherings. (Tel Talpios, Av 5664)
Holy Grand Rabbi Yitzchak Lebavitch says: “Zionists must be buried in the ground like snakes.”
When Theodor Herzl and like-minded Zionists put forward the idea of establishing a state, religious Jewish rabbis opposed them. Because the Jews were exiled as a result of divine punishment, and G-d forbade the Jews from establishing a state. However, the Zionists did not listen to this divine prohibition and defied G-d and established a Zionist state.
Zionism is the head of Pollution.
Zionism is definitely not Judaism.
The Torah prohibits Jews from establishing a state or seizing land.
The Zionist movement is not a movement of great Torah leaders and upright men, but rather a movement of faithless men; therefore, believing Jews, learn from the rabbis‟ example. Do not join them and do not take part in their gatherings. (Tel Talpios, Av 5664) Rabbi Yechiel Michel Epstein,rabbi of Novhardok, Russia (1829-1908)
The ideology called Zionism was invented in Europe by a pervert named Theodor Herzl, who did not even believe in Judaism.
The plague of Zionism has begun to spread even in our areas. This is no time for us to be silent, for they are not silent, but rather as noisy as the ocean, casting their net for the Jewish youth. Therefore we must gird ourselves with strength and stand up to them forcefully so that they cannot make their catch by trickery. In my opinion, it would be correct to forbid joining them, G-d forbid, or teaching Hebrew in the schools. In this way we will foil their plans. (Olas Hachodesh, Shvat 5741) Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach,Rebbe of Belza, Poland (1854-1926)
The greatest rabbis should gather immediately and excommunicate the Zionists. They should exclude them from the Jewish people by forbidding their bread, their wine and intermarriage with them. (Mara D‟ara Yisroel v. 2 p. 43)
Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, rabbi of Frankfort, Germany (1808–1888)

I agree. But it makes one wonder, why don’t they have the needed armament if the “resistance” is about defeating Israel? Where are the tanks? Where are the drones? Where are the atgs? Why haven’t they been sufficiently armed? Why are they having to make their own weapons in a tunnel?

My belief, having watched this shitshow play out for the last 30+ years is that the zionists did a really good job of placing a concentration camp cordon around the Palestinians.
Got to give it to them. The Nazis would be proud.
They got the Jordanians, the Egyptians and the Americans to help build the biggest political, technological and physical wall around a people ever known in the history of mankind since the great barrier of Dhul Qarnain.
The Palestinians on the other hand, for historical reasons, probably not of their own making, had the rotten luck of being manoeuvred into a position of complete lockdown by the occupier over a period of 75+ years with the help of dying empires like the British and French.
Trapped like a wild animal that realises too late that it’s in a cage.
The result:
By the time they realised it, it was too late and all the supply lines for meaningful weapons to enter the strip had been cut, all their potential nearby allies (Egypt, Jordan) had been corrupted and replaced by Western stooges (Abdullah and Sisi), all their true allies far away (Iran, Hezbollah, Yemen) and the entire world order terrified by the current Superpower which threatens annihilation at anyone even whispering about the Palestinian cause (Saddam Hussein?) .
The entire world is literally they “concentration camp fence” around Gaza.
Given the circumstances, what they managed to perform on 7 October is a miracle. A stunning testament to human resilience, courage and the will to live.
And this last point brings me to the heart of what makes the Palestinian struggle, in particular the struggle of the Gazans, meaningful to me personally:
It is the answer to the question of:
“Exactly how much can the human spirit and being take and still rise again from the ashes to fight, and fight again? What does it take to break a people, and once broken can they rise again”
The answer to this question is being formulated in Gaza.
One side of this fight wishes to demonstrate to Humanity:
Behold, I can crush the human spirit!
I can destroy the human soul!
I can spit in the face of all you deem “Good”!
I can defile all you hold dear!
I can crush the body beneath my boot!
Leave it’s sacredness soiled in the dirt!
Behold, I can erase the human soul!
I can do it to Them, and hey, buddy, I can do it to YOU!
I can spit on Justice and no Judge will bring me before a Court!
I am above all laws of God and Man.
The other side of this fight, the one caged within the confines of the strip, wants to prove:
You cannot break the human spirit.
When it chooses not to be broken.
You can try but not for free,
We will make you pay the cost,
You can murder our children,
But you will pay a price unto the seventh generation
You can murder our womenfolk, but like Cain you will walk the earth marked forever.
And if you slip up just a little bit,
Miss your footing by only an inch,
Let me rise at just the wrong moment
It will be you beneath the boot and no longer me …
For me, should Palestine be destroyed, it is the very soul of mankind that will be destroyed.:
And there, abandoned by all of us, a tattered, starved and beaten Philistine David stands,
before a murderous Jewish Goliath bloated and fattened upon the filthy lucre of Empire,
the Gazans fight not merely for themselves, not merely for Palestine,
but for the very essence of all of mankind …
