Latest video on a video site known for “ warporn” , purports to show Israeli soldiers using their shields like a Roman Square to hide their fellow soldiers raping a Palestinian woman against a wall. The characters of the snippet of “ news” are in Hebrew , so I assume that Anti-Netanyahu factions are leaking it to turn the Israeli populace against the war. I doubt it will succeed as the Israelis are so far gone that nothing will satisfy their bloodlust.
Maybe they need a Sodom and Gomorrah event, and maybe a 40 year walk in The Wilderness to kill off two generations or so before atoning for their bestiality?

Rape is 'ok' to do because of Israeli projection, Israelis think Palestinians are "animals".
Also, it has been known for decades that Israelis are, frankly, azzholes.
They have a word for it, "anti-freier". Freier means sucker. And anti-freier means azzhole.
A freier is an American, for example, that falls for, and is intimidated by the slur, "antisemitism".
When you hear the slur antisemistism the Israeli is expecting you to be a sucker, a freier.
Here are two kindly articles (I expect Israelis are far worse than these softball articles make them out to be),
that educate us about Israelis and the word freier.

China enters the conflict?
https://youtu.be/ghqgFYN2Gxk?si=9WTXHC8B9xyjSY6b
"But the real game-changer? China
has entered the fray in a move that's sending shockwaves through Tel Aviv and Washington. The Chinese have fast-tracked Iran's integration into their BeiDou satellite navigation system, giving Tehran unprecedented accuracy in targeting and defense, while neutralizing Western jamming efforts. But it doesn't stop there.
Reports are circulating that China is sending over 50 fifth-generation J-20 stealth fighter jets to Iran, a move that could shift the balance of air power in the region and threaten Israel's dominance in the skies."
Hmmmm. Interesting. A smart move by Iran if true.

China put two of its elite intelligence ships in the region during the Israeli attack.
Those ships are able to capture radar profiles of F-35s and B-2 Bombers (the latter were not used IMO).
Radar profiling will be advantageous to China in a future conflict with America. They can share it with the Iranians and Russians as well.
The planes I hear about, then I heard that it is not true. Iran has confirmed Su-35s that they received back in Jan/Feb. IIRC, they didn't deploy their air force in the conflict. That card did not get played.
I did hear that the Iranians were looking into Chinese air defenses.
A lot of disinfo out there. To be expected wherever the West is involved.

These evil b*stards don't give at toss about Palestinians they are actively aiding and abetting in genocide in Gaza - the below is just propaganda from them.
"Britain, France and Germany have called on Israel to refrain from further escalation following the regime's attacks on residential areas and nuclear sites in some Iranian cities, including the capital Tehran.
In a statement released on Friday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office said the premier held a call with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the situation.
“The leaders called on all sides to refrain from further escalation that could further destabilize the region,” the statement said.
The muted response comes hours after Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that the Iranian people expected the European Union and the broader international community to condemn Israel's "criminal attack" earlier in the day.
"The government and people of Iran expect the international community, especially the European Union, to condemn this criminal attack," Araghchi told his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani in a phone call.
Some European allies of Israel were worried that Israel was ratcheting up aggression across the region.
“Escalation serves no one in the region,” Starmer of Britain earlier said, while the European Union’s chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, called the situation “dangerous.”"

“Whatever that might mean, what is clearer is that British ministers have authorised 77 export licences to supply Israel with components for its submarines since 2010. This makes that category of equipment the fourth most numerous for all UK military exports to Israel.
The total value of these licences is £8.96m, Declassified has established. Two of the licences are, however, “open” rather than “single”, meaning that unlimited quantities and values of such equipment can be exported from Britain.
These licences for Israel’s submarines were excluded from the UK’s restrictions on exports of military equipment for Israel announced last September during its bombardment of Gaza. ”

They have pockets full of money but blood stained hands as well.
"A group of MPs have been accused of a “crystal clear breach of the rules” after taking money from a weapons firm owned by the Israeli government.
RUK Advanced Systems Ltd – which makes missiles for urban warfare – is part of Israel’s state-owned defence giant, Rafael.
Records showed that the company paid at least £1,499 to partner with the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Defence Technology, which provides “opportunities to network with MPs”. The money was paid directly to the group’s secretariat.
But parliamentary rules say that APPGs should not “accept the services of a secretariat funded directly or indirectly by a foreign government”.
RUK describes itself as a “UK company”. But official records show it was controlled by the Israeli government’s Ministry of Finance, which is led by far-right politician Bezalel Smotrich who is sanctioned by Britain for inciting “extremist violence” against Palestinians.
The company’s director has also confirmed it is “owned by Rafael in Israel”.
Tommy Sheppard, a former SNP politician who sat on the Standards Committee said: “This seems a crystal clear breach of the rules.”
He told Declassified: “The APPG should immediately cease taking funds from a company controlled by a foreign government and repay any monies it has received in the past two years. If it does not the group should be suspended and actions considered against office bearers.”
When questioned by Declassified, neither the APPG nor any of the MPs involved responded. But RUK’s name was immediately removed from the group’s website."
Tommy Sheppard, and his SNP party at Westminster didn't vote against the proscription of Palestine Action - Sheppard is only thinking about his own party in doing this, not the people of Gaza.

Israel’s pattern of hospital attacks:
1. Airstrikes on hospital
2. Besiege hospital with troops
3. Raid hospital often with tanks and bulldozers
4. Detains medical staff, patients, and people sheltering
5. Forces everyone else to leave
6. Withdraws, making hospital non-functional

Listen, we woke up to a morning with new directives.
Until now, it was allowed to use deterrent fire on Gazans approaching the SDS (secure distribution sites).
I’m in the tank, watching them arrive there at a time they’re not allowed —
and we’re just dropping tear gas over them and ending the event.

This is just insane.

Now even to get approval for deterrent fire, you have to go up to the company commander.
11:56
Not even fire to kill — just deterrent 😢
——
The soldier refers to “deterrent fire” — the military’s term for live ammunition fired at Palestinians to push them back from aid sites. The policy, he says, has now been restricted and requires higher-level approval.

Jeffrey D. Sachs, Sybil Fares
The time has arrived for a comprehensive Middle East peace
July 3, 2025
The attack by Israel and the US on Iran had two significant effects.
First, it once again exposed the root cause of turmoil in the region: Israel’s project to “reshape the Middle East” through regime-change, aimed at maintaining its dominance and blocking a Palestinian state. Second, it highlighted the futility and recklessness of this strategy. The only path to peace is a comprehensive agreement that addresses Palestine’s statehood, Israel’s security, Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, and the economic recovery of the region.
Israel wants to topple the Iranian Government because Iran has supported proxies and non-state actors aligned with the Palestinians. Israel has also consistently undermined US-Iran diplomacy regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
Instead of endless wars, Israel’s security can be ensured by two key diplomatic steps – ending militancy by establishing a Palestinian state with UN Security Council guarantees, and lifting sanctions on Iran in exchange for a peaceful and verifiable nuclear program.
The far-right Israeli Government’s refusal to accept a Palestinian state is the root of the problem.
When the British empire promised a Jewish homeland in Mandatory Palestine in 1917, the Palestinian Arabs constituted 90% of the population and Jews less than 10% of the population. In 1947, with US intense lobbying, the UN General Assembly voted to grant 56% of Palestine to a new Zionist state, while the Jews were only 33% of the population. Palestinians rejected this as a violation of their right to self-determination. After the 1948 war, Israel expanded to 78% of Palestine, and, in 1967, occupied the remaining 22% – Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights.
Instead of returning occupied lands in exchange for peace, Israeli right-wing politicians insisted on permanent control of 100% of the land, with the Likud founding charter declaring in 1977 that there would be only Israeli sovereignty “between the Sea and Jordan”.
Netanyahu represents this policy of domination – and has served as prime minister for a total of 17 years since 1996. When he came to power, he and his US neocon allies authored the “ Clean Break” strategy to block the creation of a Palestinian state. Instead of pursuing land for peace, Israel aimed to reshape the Middle East by overthrowing governments that supported the Palestinian cause. The US would be the implementing partner of this strategy.
This is exactly what happened after 9/11, as the US led or sponsored wars against Iraq (invasion in 2003), Lebanon (US funding and arming Israeli aggressions), Libya (NATO bombing in 2011), Syria (CIA operation during 2010s), Sudan (supporting rebels to break Sudan apart in 2011), and Somalia (backing Ethiopia’s invasion in 2006).
Contrary to the glib promises by Netanyahu to the US Congress in 2002 — that regime change in Iraq would bring a new day to the Middle East — the 2003 Iraq War augured the events that were to come across the region. Iraq descended into turmoil and, since then, each new war has brought death, destruction, and economic disarray.
This month, Israel attacked Iran even as negotiations between Iran and the US were underway to ensure the peaceful use of Iran’s nuclear program – repeating the same WMD propaganda that Netanyahu used to justify the Iraq War.
Israel has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran is on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons. However, on 18 June 2025, the IAEA director-general stated that there is “no proof of a systematic effort” by Iran to develop nuclear weapons. More to the point, Iran and the US were actively engaged in negotiations according to which the IAEA would monitor and verify the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.
The attack on Iran proves yet again the futility and nihilism of Netanyahu’s approach. The Israeli and US attacks accomplished nothing positive. According to most analysts, Iran’s enriched uranium remains intact, but is now in a secret location rather than under IAEA monitoring. In the meantime, with Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, neither peace nor security have been achieved.
Israel has driven the region to a 4000-km swash of violence from Libya to Iran through its reckless, lawless, and warmongering actions, all ultimately aimed at preventing a State of Palestine by “remaking” the Middle East.
The solution is clear: it is time for the United States to recognise that its own strategic interests require a decisive break from partnering in Israel’s destructive strategy.
Prioritising genuine peace in the Middle East is not only a moral imperative, but a fundamental US interest – one that can only be achieved through a comprehensive peace deal. The key pillar of this deal is for the US to lift its veto on a Palestinian State on the borders of 4 June 1967, and to do so at the start, not in some vague distant future that never actually arrives.
For more than 20 years, Arab nations have backed a practical peace plan. So too has the Organisation for Islamic Co-operation, with its 57 member countries, and the League of Arab States, with its 22 members. So too have almost all the nations in the UN General Assembly. So too has the International Court of Justice in its 2024 ruling that Israel’s occupation is illegal. Only Israel, with support from the US veto, has stood in the way.
Here is a seven-point peace plan in which all parties would benefit. Israel would gain peace and security. Palestine would achieve statehood. Iran would win an end to economic sanctions. The US would win an end to costly and illegal wars fought on Israel’s behalf, as well as the risks of nuclear proliferation if the current violence continues. The Middle East would win economic development, security and justice.
– First, an immediate ceasefire would apply across the entire region – and the ceasefire would include an immediate release of all hostages and prisoners.
– Second, the UN Security Council would vote upfront to welcome Palestine as the 194th UN Member State on the 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Israel and Palestine could subsequently agree on mutually desired border adjustments.
– Third, Israel would withdraw from all territories occupied since 1967. UN-mandated international forces would ensure a peaceful, orderly transition, a transfer of Palestinian territories to Palestinian authorities, and mutual security for both Israel and Palestine.
– Fourth, the territorial integrity and sovereignty would be guaranteed for Lebanon, Syria, and all states in the region. All non-state armed groups would be demilitarised, and foreign troops would be withdrawn.
– Fifth, the UN Security Council would adopt an updated nuclear agreement with Iran, including binding verification, and with all economic sanctions on Iran lifted alongside Iran’s verified compliance with the peaceful uses of its nuclear program.
– Sixth, Israel and all Arab and Islamic states would establish full diplomatic relations following the admission of the State of Palestine as UN member state.
– Seventh, the Middle East nations would establish an international fund for rebuilding the war-torn parts of Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, with contributions coming from within the region and from external sources.

Sachs is a typical go-gooder liberal. Always has answers for brown people's problems caused by the European institutions he champions.
Every day, fewer and fewer people want peace.
The perfidious West uses peace (see Zelensky, Witkoff, Trump et al) as a means to sabotage desperate people. No one in the Global South has ever benefited from a Western peace.
A year ago, most people from MENA would have said peace sounded good, but after seeing the Iraqi and Lebanese youth partying to the missiles flying to Tel-Aviv, the sense I get is that the youth would rather have war.
I can't blame them. Israel and its patrons in America and Western Europe are the most evil people the world has seen in ages. Child killers, rapists, starvation as a weapon.

Oh my goodness—how did I miss this until now?
The timing of Israel’s assassination of Dr. Marwan al-Sultan, the director of the Indonesian Hospital and one of Gaza’s top cardiologists, was no coincidence. It happened on the very same day Gaza: Doctors Under Attack was scheduled to air on Channel 4 and Zeteo.
This is the same documentary that the BBC had commissioned and cleared for broadcast back in February 2025—before abruptly pulling it on June 20.
Dr. al-Sultan’s daughter, Lubna, said the missile struck the only room where her father was staying.
It seems like the world still does not understand.

The only path to peace is a comprehensive agreement that addresses Sachs:
. . . Palestine’s statehood, Israel’s security, Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, and the economic recovery of the region.
Israel wants to topple the Iranian Government because Iran has supported proxies and non-state actors aligned with the Palestinians. Israel has also consistently undermined US-Iran diplomacy regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
Instead of endless wars, Israel’s security can be ensured by two key diplomatic steps – ending militancy by establishing a Palestinian state with UN Security Council guarantees,. . .
===================
The ROW is no longer interested in "Israel's security."
Reading this boilerplate is exhausting. I expect even the Russians are tired of the kabuki around Israel's security and creating a "lasting peace" with an entity that only wants to conquer, humiliate, and "amalekize" its neighbors.
Who is going to organize this peace program?
Who is going to enforce it?
"The West" cannot even stop a genocide conducted with pride on the international stage.
Sachs is dreaming.
I would love to see a podcast that creates a discussion between Sachs and Alon Mizrahi.
Mizrahi would patiently explain to Sachs why he is dreaming.

The reason why Israel is deliberately targeting civilians is because they are being trounced by the hit and run Hamas. The Israelis are angry at their impotence to damage Hamas on the ground so they take out their anger on civilians who can be seen and hit.

It would be a tragic moment for the world to see Iran acquire a nuclear bomb. These weapons are instruments of mass destruction, and their proliferation serves no one—not the region, not global security, and certainly not future generations. Yet, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the United States and the European Union have, through a series of policy failures, broken agreements and devastating war, left Iran with no other options.
By dismantling the nuclear deal and imposing ever-tightening sanctions despite Iran’s prior compliance, the West eroded the very incentives for restraint. In doing so, it weakened the credibility of diplomacy and fuelled the argument within Iran’s leadership that only deterrence through strength—nuclear strength- can ensure national survival. It’s not that Iran necessarily wanted a bomb. It’s that the Western order, as it stands, made the cost of strategic vulnerability too high.

Iran doesn't want a nuke, and Iran doesn't need a nuke.
The minute Iran uses a nuke, it would be authorization for another country to nuke them.
Nukes are useless; the Iranians know this. Everyone with a brain should know now that the West no longer observes MAD. They attacked Russia's triad. That was a big moment for Russia and China to realize that the West is beyond hope.
Iran did very well against Israel without having a nuke. No one doubts that if they used one, Israel would nuke them, and American/UK/France would as well.
That's what Israel wants. That is what all of these psychopathic "Enlightenment" societies crave: a casus belli to wage a proper extermination with nuclear fire.
Denying them the casus belli frustrates and angers them.
This journalist goes on about "laws" and agreements, the very stuff that never worked for the Global South. The West was always going to discard the "rules" the minute it wanted to. See WMDs in Iraq, see Serbia, see Gaza.
There are no laws or rules that Western governments will obey. They will openly flaunt genocide and child killing. And it seems to be working because no one except Yemen will stand against it.

'Sachs also fornicated Russia in the early Nineties...'
With David Lipton and Anders Aslund. Yegor Gaidar died relatively young but his daughter is still at it. She recently threatened to renounce her Russian citizenship and go live in Israel.
Interestingly, Anatoly Chubais - Russia's 'most hated man' for decades now - was allowed to stay and run both RAO UES and Rusnano Group as well as involvement with other Russian state enterprises and outifts such as the Skolkovo Innovation Center. All of this was during Putin's reign. Chubais/Chubays was also working in an advisory position for Chase Bank in the mid 2000's.
He didn't officially 'leave' Russia until the March 2022 'SMO' war began.
He's now operating out of Israel and sits on The Global Board of Advisors of the Council on Foreign Relations.
In other news, both Russia and China are still concerned with Israel's security and both would still like to see Iran operating through the UN's IAEA.

What started as a pilot-led “initiative” was quickly approved and expanded—becoming routine. Dozens of jets diverted mid-flight to unload surplus munitions over northern Gaza and Khan Younis. The military praised it as a “force multiplier”—a policy that turned Gaza into a secondary strike zone for leftover firepower to avoid wasting resources, Maariv reports.

Expect an escalation in the murder of Palestinians in the West Bank soon.
"A group of Israeli ministers from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party have called for the West Bank to be annexed by the end of the month. Fifteen cabinet ministers, as well as the parliamentary speaker, Amir Ohana, signed a letter arguing that the creation of a Palestinian state in the area would pose an “existential threat” to Israel and its settlement policy.
The move should be made before the end of the parliament’s summer session on June 27, the letter released on Wednesday stated, adding that West Jerusalem should seize the moment following the weakening of Iran and its allies in the region in recent conflicts with Israel."

Geopolitics Prime:
😰Cyprus alarmed: Israelis are TAKING OVER the islandCypriot politicians say waves of Israelis are flooding in, buying property, and settling in strategic areas. Is this the blueprint for Israel 2.0?
‘They are occupying us’
🔶 Stefanos Stefanou, head of left-wing AKEL party, has warned of “ghettos” forming in Southern Cyprus due to property sales to Israelis, citing “Zionist schools and synagogues” as part of an Israeli expansion strategy.
🔶 “Our country is being taken away from us,” he said at a recent party congress.
A plan years in the making
🔴 In August 2023, Israeli newspaper Haaretz ran the article: “The Second Israel? Israelis Are Streaming Into Cyprus to Buy Anything in Sight.”
🔴 Israelis were drawn by Cyprus’:
➡️proximity to Israel
➡️lower cost of living
➡️backlash against Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial reform
🔴 Ynet reported the Israeli population in Cyprus grew from 400 in 2003 to 12,000 in 2023. Over 3,000 Israelis currently move there each year.
🔴 In March 2024, Israeli media revealed the Ministry of Transport plans to buy a Cypriot port to inspect Gaza-bound aid.
🔴 Ynet noted this port “could safeguard Israel’s imports” if Haifa becomes unsafe.
🔴 After Haifa suffered damage in clashes with Iran and shipping giant Maersk paused operations, Tel Aviv’s interest in Cyprus gained urgency.
Cyprus: ‘The lost Jewish colony’
In 1899, Zionist activist David Trietsch proposed Cyprus for Jewish settlement.
🗣 “Cyprus is the most suitable location... and it is in close proximity to Israel,” he claimed.
World Zionist Organization founder Theodor Herzl also saw British-controlled Cyprus as leverage.
‘Greater Israel’
🌏Israeli conservatives are reviving the concept of “Greater Israel” as the biblical “promised land.”
🌏 The idea's interpretations include parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq — and even Cyprus.
Perhaps history is about to repeat again:
During the reign of Roman Emperor Trajan in 115-117 AD, a Jewish revolt, led by Artemion, occurred in Cyprus. The revolt resulted in significant violence and bloodshed, prompting a severe Roman response and the temporary banning of Jews from living on the island.

Yes the Jewish zealots killed 240,000 Cypriot civilians. The Roman Emperor Hadrian in 132-136 AD because of the horrendous genocide took all the zealots (the progenitors of Zionists) in Palestine whom where enslaved or sent into exile.
For the next 1600 years there was a Cypriot law that any Jew who washed up on Cypriot shores (from shipwreck) would be summarily killed by the state.
Too bad we don't have a sensible Emperor in our times

If a forest was being mercilessly destroyed daily for a year and a half, or a wild life reserve, the whole world would be up in arms and doing something about it, but not when the Palestinians are being annihilated.
US/Israel are absolutely free to pick off the Palestinians however they want.
They are also absolutely free to bomb Lebanon daily, de facto partition and desecrate Syria, and generally cause harm in Iraq and anywhere they choose.
US/Israel. "in decline", obviously have all the necessary means to do all this every day, the intent and the will to plan every bomb, every evil, every perfidy, every lie and every excuse.
Thousands of people in US/Israel and their white "civilised" partners are employed and involved in these unspeakable crimes and are well paid for their participation.

Alon Mizrahi provides a very clear explanation as to why Israel's, or anyone's, use of nukes is really not an option.
He goes through all the scenarios, also reminding watchers of the actual geography, where the wind blows, etc.
Per him, the only scenario in which Israel would use nuke on Iran would be the actual Samson Option----if they decide it's time to take the world out with themselves.
I think he provides this explanation---more or less to get it out of the way so that he can provide his detailed explanation of the domestic factors that are driving Israel to attack Iran again---in part II.

For the sake of Gazans, Syrians, Iranians, and all people in the region, including Israelis themselves, people in Cyprus and other countries — especially European countries where the Israelis’ grandparents originated — should welcome Israelis fleeing Israel and buying property rather than genociding the remainder of Palestinians.
We’ve seen some Israelis learn the truth about how they’ve been lied to and then verbally object to their government’s policies. More will.
Maybe “a new Israel” emerges somewhere else, be it Cyprus, southern Argentina, or elsewhere. As long as they’re buying and not killing for it, that’s better. In fact, it’d be *perfect*. It would be a big improvement from the way all previous nations were founded!
Or maybe Israelis will at least discover they don’t need a Bibi/Smotrich-run Israeli government to protect them.
But if Europeans make them feel unwelcome, then Europeans will push them back into the arms of warmongers.

Yep. Russia, luckily, got Putin who tossed him and his Jew buddies out before they could turn Russia into Ukraine.
I still don't know if Sachs is controlled opposition or not.
Posted by: Arch Bungle | Jul 4 2025 10:51 utc | 65
======================
To (try to be fair), Sachs has recently stated that he was not on board with the "looting Russian" phase of the operation.
My recollection is that he stated that he had advised on the restructuring of the Polish economy at the request of the Polish government. He attempted to introduce the same types of reforms to the Russian govt---I cannot recall who he said in the Russian govt requested this advice, but an article in The Nation (linked below) has info on this.
Then another bunch of people came in and the looting began.
Maybe this was the Harvard boys (Andre Schleifer and Larry Summers, et al.)
I'll look for this video, but I don't expect I can find it easily because I think he was answering a question from a listener during a livestream.
I disagree with Sachs's ideas for a peace in the Middle East that is based on the "two-state solution," which now has "historical relic" status. But I am not sure that Sachs is really the biggest jerk around in the West. People's ideas do evolve.
Anyhow, BTW, I thought Scott Ritter's comments re "getting rid of Putin" on a recent Dialogue Works show with Nima Alkhorshid were much dumber than anything that Sachs has said. I was really surprised at Ritter---that he would get the shoe so decisively on the wrong foot.
Back to Sachs. Here is a 2012 paper, "What I did in Russia". Apologies for long URL.

Here is the first graf:
There is considerable misunderstanding of my role as an economic advisor in Russia in the early 1990s. Therefore, I offer this summary of my personal involvement with Russia’s economic reforms for anyone who might be interested. I begin with some background on my work in Latin America and Central Europe
to help explain my approach to economic advising and the nature of the recommendations that I made with regard to Russia’s economic reforms.
Google's AI also responded in quite a lot of detail to my search term, which was "Jeffrey Sachs explains his role in Russia in the 1990s"
The first graf of that:
In the 1990s, Jeffrey Sachs advised the Russian government on transitioning to a market economy after the collapse of the Soviet Union. His proposed "shock therapy" approach, involving rapid privatization and price liberalization, aimed to stabilize the economy and control hyperinflation. However, this strategy faced criticism for contributing to a severe economic downturn and the rise of oligarchs. Sachs himself argues that the West did not provide adequate financial support and that Russia's political landscape hindered the reforms.
Here's a more detailed breakdown: . . .
Here is The Nation's article on the who and what of Western economic advice to Russia in the 1990s:

Israeli military used 500lb bomb in strike on Gaza cafe, fragments reveal
Exclusive: Experts say use of heavy munition in Monday’s strike that killed dozens may constitute a war crime.
The Israeli military used a 500lb (230kg) bomb – a powerful and indiscriminate weapon that generates a massive blast wave and scatters shrapnel over a wide area – when it attacked a target in a crowded beachfront cafe in Gaza on Monday, evidence seen by the Guardian has revealed.
Experts in international law said the use of such a munition despite the known presence of many unprotected civilians, including children, women and elderly people, was almost certainly unlawful and may constitute a war crime.....
....Under international law based on the Geneva conventions, a military force is forbidden to launch attacks that cause “incidental loss of civilian life” that is “excessive or disproportionate” to the military advantage to be gained......

The newest outrage, the missile attack on a war refugee center that killed dozens of innocents in Gaza City, and the air strike on a seaside cafe in Gaza with US made GP 500lb ordinance that destroyed the cafe and killed dozens of innocents.
Israel has now become the world pariah state......guilty of scores of war crimes on a monthly, indeed even daily basis.....try the war criminals.....

Not to mention the rape of a civilian by the IDF in Gaza in which over a dozen soldiers participated or acted as screens for the felony attack..
or... the IDF providing cover as "settlers" in Judea murdered three villagers, destroyed all their cash crops and threatening to burn their olive orchards........
Israel since 1948 has operated as a genocidal state, murdering hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and seizing their orchards, pastures, vineyards, farm lands and businesses.

Canada Authorized $37.2 Million in New Military Exports to Israel
https://x.com/dimitrilascaris/status/1941103969280860518
"Data from Global Affairs Canada (GAC) reveals that, in February, Mark Carney's pro-genocide regime authorized two new military export permits to Israel worth a combined total of $37.2 million.
The newly authorized goods fall under an export category that includes 'bombs, torpedoes, rockets, missiles, other explosive devices and charges and related equipment and accessories,' and another category that concerns military 'technology.'
Like all Western regimes, the Carney regime has an unlimited tolerance for Israel's heinous crimes and does not hesitate to enable them."

Israeli backed mercenaries luring Palestinians into areas with the promise of food only for the mercenaries to spray them with bullets and grenades.
"A new investigation by the Associated Press has uncovered disturbing details about American military contractors operating in Gaza under the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S.-based group tasked with distributing aid. Video footage and eyewitness testimony suggest these contractors—many of them former U.S. soldiers—have repeatedly opened fire on Palestinians seeking food, raising serious concerns about the militarization of aid and the true role of U.S.-backed groups on the ground.
The footage, leaked by two whistleblowers working with the foundation, shows security forces using live ammunition, stun grenades and pepper spray on crowds, often without any visible threat. One contractor described bullets being sprayed in every direction, hitting civilians who were simply trying to access food. Audio from the video confirmed that machine gun fire came from within 150 meters of civilians, far from any Israeli military positions, pointing to deliberate acts of intimidation rather than chaotic crossfire."

There’s loads a money to made out of genocide.
“War is a business. So is genocide. The latest report submitted by Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, lists 48 corporations and institutions, including Palantir Technologies Inc., Lockheed Martin, Alphabet Inc., Amazon, International Business Machine Corporation (IBM), Caterpillar Inc., Microsoft Corporation and Massachusetts Institue of Technology (MIT), along with banks and financial firms such as Blackrock, insurers, real estate firms and charities, which in violation of international law are making billions from the occupation and the genocide of Palestinians.”

Always remember where this chapter of The Theft of Palestine
began.
This chapter, labeled The Gaza Holocaust,
began before October 7, 2023,
with Netanyahu setting up his own people
to be overrun by Hamas.
And then Netanyahu slaughtered hundreds of his own on that day
(Hannibal Doctrine) so as to incite Israeli citizens
into supporting The Gaza Holocaust.
