They hate everyone dept; Israeli Jew attacks Israeli Jew with an ax in her own home because he thought she was an Israeli Christian:
——————–
A woman in occupied East Jerusalem was seriously wounded on Wednesday after an assailant allegedly attacked her with an axe inside her home.
Israeli journalist Yossi Eli reported on Thursday that police suspect the attack was motivated by anti-Christian hatred.
The victim, a Jewish-Israeli woman, was taken to hospital for treatment, while the suspect, also Jewish Israeli, allegedly mistook her for a Christian.
The attack comes amid growing anti-Christian sentiment in the city, with Christian leaders in Jerusalem calling on the Israeli government to intervene and stop local authorities from seizing properties belonging to the Armenian Patriarchate.
They say that this jeopardises the centuries-old presence of Christian institutions in the Holy Land, accusing Israel of eroding the cultural and religious heritage of non-Jewish communities.

No surprise here:
———————-
Israeli Channel 14, citing a political source, reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to intensify military operations in Gaza and restart the war once the initial phase of the ceasefire agreement ends.
The channel, which is closely aligned with Netanyahu, revealed that his government is considering prolonging the first phase of the agreement for up to two weeks, with the objective of securing the release of as many captives as possible, particularly those still alive, even if it means freeing additional Palestinian detainees in exchange.

8-year-old Palestinian girl blinded because of head wounds after being shot by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. She was trying to shut the window to protect her little brothers from bullets after she heard gunshots in the street. IDF soldiers twice tried to prevent her parents from getting emergency care for her – making them sit on the stairs holding the child spurting blood from her face and head and not allowing the family to get an ambulance, and then after finally having found a car to borrow, they had to go through a circuitous route to get around walls and gates put up by the Israelis that impeded the way to the hospital.

Latest leaflets dropped on Gaza”
———–
Israeli forces are dropping leaflets across Gaza in an attempt to spread fear and intimidation among the civilian population and cause psychological distress. The messages are direct threats of mass displacement and Trump’s plan to “ethnically cleanse” Gaza.
Key messages in the leaflets:
1 The implementation of Trump’s expulsion plan, “which will force you to be forcibly displaced whether you like it or not”.
2 “The map of the world will not change if all the people of Gaza disappear from existence, and no one will ask about you”.
3 “Neither America nor Europe care about Gaza at all, nor even your Arab countries, which are our allies now and provide us with money, oil and weapons, and they send you shrouds.”
4 Promises of aid in exchange for collaboration, an effort to sow division amongst the population.

Three empty buses exploded south of Tel Aviv without casualties, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes, accuses the Palestinians in the West Bank. That is the free pass he wants to keep his government together and expel the Palestinians.

Explosions heard, IEDs found on buses in several areas in Tel Aviv
Israeli occupation forces launched a major response after explosive devices were discovered in multiple buses in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas.
Israeli authorities have launched an extensive security operation after multiple explosive devices were discovered in buses across different locations, sparking panic in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas, media reports revealed.
According to the Israeli police, three buses have exploded, but no injuries were reported. “There is a state of panic in Tel Aviv,” the police stated, adding that all buses were halted for inspection.
Israeli media reported additional threats, with Israel Hayom claiming that another explosive device was found in a bus in Holon, south of Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Channel 12 reported that two undetonated bombs were discovered at separate locations, with security sources stating that each device weighed up to five kilograms……

FALSE FLAG. Until someone claims it.
Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah has any interest in collapsing the ceasefire.
But you know who does? Netanyahu.

Timing of bus explosions raises questions ahead of Gaza ceasefire phase two
The timing of the bus explosions, right before the start of talks on the Gaza ceasefire agreement’s phase two, is noteworthy, Colin Clarke, director at The Soufan Center, has said.
“Many have speculated that the Israelis would go right back into full combat and conflict in Gaza after phase one, and have very little intention of following through on the rest of the deal,” Clarke told Al Jazeera. “This could be a message by a Palestinian group that if that happens, they can still make it quite painful for the Israelis,” Clarke said.
On the other side, Clarke noted, there are some speculating on how this was an Israeli attempt to derail the ceasefire talks by exploding these bombs, killing nobody, and then using that as a pretext to go back to war.
“So again, we don’t know a lot of the details … but this could be the opening salvo or the returning to what’s been a very long and bloody conflict,” he said.

So let me get this straight. 3 (conveniently) empty buses in Tel Aviv exploded on empty streets and other explosives were found with an Arabic message avenging the West Bank like it was ever going to be seen after exploding. A false flag to justify the ongoing West Bank massacres
Oh surprise surprise. Israeli Security Minister Yisrael Katz: “I have ordered an intensification of operations in the West Bank in response to the attempted Tel Aviv attack”. I swear they can’t get more predictable than this. All eyes on the West Bank

Here’s the initial free portion of Alastair Crooke’s latest entry, “Political implosion gathers pace — “Israel is entering an era of dictatorship” at his substack:

‘Qatar-gate’: As Shin Bet investigates Qatar-linked corruption in the PM’s office, Netanyahu expediates moves to dismiss Shin Bet Director
Law & Order Collapsing – “The Police have disintegrated. Crime figures are at an all-time high”
‘Israel is now a Borderline Dictatorial State’
Netanyahu weakened as Witkoff forces his hand on Phase Two
For second time in two weeks, Team Trump saves Netanyahu’s Coalition from collapse
[These compilations are drawn from analysis & commentary by leading Israeli political and security commentators, predominantly published in Hebrew — as reports published in Hebrew often provide a different window on Israeli internal discourse]
‘Qatar-Gate’: The Shin Bet confirmed on 15 Feb that it had begun a comprehensive investigation following allegations of security offences committed by senior officials in Netanyahu’s office who were allegedly also working for Qatar. In parallel, Netanyahu has removed the Shin Bet head, Ronen Bar, from the Ceasefire negotiating team, and made insinuations for his dismissal. Channel 12 reports that officials in the PM’s office were recruited by Qatar in the midst of the war to also assist it with a lawsuit being brought by families of the hostages.
What they’re saying 1: The conspiracies surrounding Netanyahu & Qatar are overwhelming (Yossi Verter, Haaretz):

… It was not known that the Qataris were so invested here. And we’re probably still far from knowing the full story … The stench reaches the heavens. Never before has there been a PMO in Israel inhabited by such dubious types, who constantly rub shoulders with illegality. The Qatari intelligence services managed to penetrate the heart of the PMO’s aquarium and employ the people closest to Netanyahu with access to state secrets. You don’t need to imagine what the previous opposition would have done if PM Bennett’s or Lapid’s advisers had turned out to be two-faced spokesmen.

Is it real or is it yet another falsity coming from the land of liars and much worse?

Hi everyone. I think we all agree that this is a false flag but I see some real issues with the evidence being tossed out as Arguments for it.
The Israelis wrote on the bombs in Arabic because it is a common practice. For example, the “Return to Sender” attacks. Why? It’s an emotionally symbolic gesture.
The second point, the bombs went off in the middle of the night. There were no casualties. I have no idea if the buses in Israel are busy in the morning; however that tends to be true all over the world.
I noticed that this does not change the analysis noticeably, but it does remove assertions that weaken the argument.

So the Izzies blew up three buses
with Netanyahu and his genocidal cohorts the main beneficiaries.
That isn’t hard to compute.
If Mossad had been caught planting the bus bombs history tells us what they would have said,
“training exercise gone awry”.

Thanks for your contributions to the bar.
I have been thinking about the coming funeral and how much of a threat it creates for Occupied Palestine. I have to believe that Occupied Palestine will try and disrupt the event in some manner and if it results in significant loss of life, I expect the retribution by the axis of resistance to be overwhelming, resulting in the end of Occupied Palestine.

The denial in the West about Hamas and Hezbollah is something.
Neither would exist if not for the Occupation.
Trump’s people keep talking about Hamas leaving Gaza. It’s dishonest and stupid. Hamas is Gaza. Sinwar was born and raised in Gaza, he was arrested in Gaza.

….Relocating Palestinians from the Gaza Strip is both an act of justice for their perpetration of the barbaric cruelty of Hamas that has turned their social structure into a culture of death and an act of mercy because Palestinians have proven that living close to Israel is, for them, an impossibility. The nearness only serves to stir their rabid, base desires for Jewish blood, which they cannot control. In regards to the Palestinian penchant for shedding Jewish blood, Kipling was right when he said:….

Israel is trying to provoke Hamas into collapsing the ceasefire negotiations. The virulent elements of Netanyahu’s coalition refuse further participation, but there is intense external pressures to continue negotiations as well as a sizeable domestic bloc demanding further progress to free the remaining hostages. Hamas shrewdly offered terms to facilitate such a release. Movement on Phase Two of the ceasefire negotiations will be the biggest indicator of where this goes next.

Anyone have some real insight into the odd case of Hisham al-Sayed – in 2015, he supposedly wandered randomly into Gaza and was captured. Held for 10 years, he was released yesterday as pert of prisoner exchanges. The Palestinians say he was a solider engaged on a terror mission. The Likud says Hisham al-Sayed is mentally ill and simply wandered around.
Hisham al-Sayed is described sometimes as an Ethiopian Jew and sometimes as a Bedounin Arab. A photograph of him from taken yesterday shows a decidedly Ethiopian Visage.
anyone have the real story ?
