So Elbit has security cells across Britain, never ever trust the Brits.
“Keir Starmer’s government held a private meeting with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons company, Declassified has found.
The meeting occurred in December 2024 and was attended by three representatives from Elbit Systems and three officials from Yvette Cooper’s Home Office.
It took place months after Israeli forces used an Elbit drone to kill three British military veterans in Gaza who were protecting a humanitarian aid convoy.
The revelation comes in documents obtained by Declassified through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to the Home Office, who refused to detail which officials were present or what was discussed.
It said that a recording of the meeting was made “but by mutual agreement [with Elbit] this was agreed… not to be released” through FOI.
Under the previous Conservative government, the Home Office also met with Elbit Systems and attempted to encourage the UK police to crack down on pro-Palestine activism.
Elbit’s efforts to counter Palestine Action in Britain seem to have gone even further. Declassified can reveal the company has its own “intelligence cell” and shares “information with the [UK] police across the country on a two weekly basis”.
Elbit did not respond to a request for comment.”
And it looks like Starmer will reward Elbit.
“Britain’s Ministry of Defence might imminently award a 15 year contract, worth £2.5bn, to a consortium headed by the British subsidiary of the Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems and including the US management consultancy firm, Bain and Company.
If successful, Elbit’s consortium would be responsible for training as many as 60,000 members of the UK military.
The consortium seems well-placed to win the contract; it is, in fact, one of only two shortlisted and preferred bidders.
The Ministry of Defence has already given the consortium a £2m contract so that it can develop its proposals further.
This is unacceptable. And it is frankly unbelievable that this consortium is even in the running considering its track record.
Elbit Systems UK is the fully-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Limited. Elbit Systems Limited is headquartered in Tel Aviv and is listed on both the Israeli and US stock exchanges.
Elbit is one of the two largest Israeli weapons manufacturers and is central to the IDF’s operations, providing 85% of its drones. Elbit International is also a major contributor to the F-35 fighter jet program, bragging that it plays a ‘critical role’ in the ‘success of the world’s most advanced fighter jet.’
In July 2025, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestine Territories, published an excoriating report setting out corporate complicity in Israel’s “plausibly” genocidal conduct in Gaza – for which she was subsequently sanctioned by Donald Trump.
Her report is clear that Elbit forms a central part of Israel’s military-industrial complex, which has become “the economic backbone of [Israel].”
“Elbit has cooperated closely on Israeli military operations, embedding key staff in the Ministry of Defence,” Albanese points out, further noting that Elbit provides “a critical domestic supply of weaponry.””

Okay, this is per Sohaib Press quoting from the Washington Post. The Trump/Kushner/Blair plan for Gaza is way worse than I even thought. It involves pressing the Palestinians to leave entirely, or to stay and work at one of Trump’s or Musk’s techno cities. If land-owning Palestinians desire to sell their property to the US, which would hold a 10-year trusteeship over Gaza, they would be paid in a crypto token, which would allow their land to be redeveloped and they could “invest” the token in the trusteeship. This “investment” in the scheme could reap them profits that they could use to settle elsewhere or to buy an apartment in the newly to-be-built “artificial intelligence-based smart cities”. Trump et al plan to build 6 to 8 of these cities in Gaza.
So, basically, the Palestinians who decide to remain would agree to work in one of Musk’s planned cities and rent from the company what they used to own, or they can sell their land and “invest” in some bullshit crypto scheme, make some hypothetical “profit” on a crypto coin picked by Trump and Musk (how much “profit” do think they will reap? and who would exchange some Trump meme coin for hard cash? Crypto is not real money. Period.)
Hey, but they get to live in a rented apartment they used to own and work for the Trumps, Kushners and Musk in a planned city where dissent is strictly prohibited, billionaires make the rules for the workers, there is no more Palestine or Gaza, and there is no more Palestinian society.
Or, they can get $5000 cash, four years of rent subsidies in another country, and free food for a year if they agree to move to another country altogether. And anyone who thinks the US and these wealthy asshats will follow through with that are deluded.
This is ethnic cleansing, even if some Palestinians remain. They would own nothing, work for the US/Musk/Trump. Their social mores and values, their social cohesion, would be totally extinct. There would be NO PALESTINIANS, NO PALESTINE.
This is why Trump wants Israel to kill as many as quickly as possible, and why they want no Palestinians at the UN meeting, and why Israel continues to refuse to discuss a cease-fire.
Here is the summary in the WaPo, posted by Sohaibpress:

The Washington Post:
Trump’s Gaza Plan:
The post-war plan for the Gaza Strip, circulating within the Trump administration and based on President Donald Trump’s declaration of “control” over the enclave, proposes turning Gaza into a US-administered trusteeship for at least 10 years, during which it would be transformed into a glittering tourist destination and a high-tech manufacturing center.
The document presents a scenario of at least a temporary evacuation of Gaza’s entire population—more than two million people—either through what it calls “voluntary departure” to another country, or by moving to enclosed, secured areas within the Strip during a period of reconstruction.
Landowners would be offered a digital token by the trusteeship fund in exchange for the rights to redevelop their property—a token that could be invested to finance a new life elsewhere or, in the future, converted into an apartment in one of six to eight “artificial intelligence-based smart cities” to be built in Gaza.
Every Palestinian who chooses to leave would receive a $5,000 cash grant, four years of rent subsidies elsewhere, and a year of food.
“>https://t-me.translate.goog/s/Sohaibpress?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en

Sohaib points out in his next post:

Of course, Trump sees Gaza as an economic and investment opportunity for his projects, American capital, and companies, and he does not care about the people of Gaza or all of Palestine.

nytimes Editorial Board on 31 August calling for Israel to allow international media into the Gaza Strip:
“Israel’s use of the double-tap tactic in urban warfare last week, in which 20 people died, including 5 journalists, is a sign of its disregard for civilian life and for the people trying to ascertain the truth of the war, namely journalists themselves. To date, only Palestinian media report from Gaza.
Keeping out the international media indicates that Israel’s leaders are trying to conceal the war’s full horror. It evokes the failed attempts by American leaders to bury the truth during the Vietnam War.
The ban also seems to be contributing to the Israeli government’s callousness toward the journalists who are covering the war.”

Some of the money – 475 million Euros is quite a bit, in anycase – no money should be awarded to the Zionists they are committing genocide, this shows us just how deep in bed with the Zionists the EU is.

Even more on the Trump/Kushner/Blair/Musk plan to take over Gaza.
The plan was drafted by two Isreali “entrepreneurs” and the financial modeling was done by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The Boston group was affiliated with the “aid” sites run by GHF, which are merely fronts for killing hungry Palestinians who show up hoping for food.
BCG ended its association with the aid group in May this year and claimed to have fired the two “rogue” employees who worked on the GHF sites without authorization. (Despite having given “no authorization” to its employees, the BCG billed the GHF one million dollars a month until May, per the Washington Post.)
Another project worked on by the BCG team was called “Project Aurora”, which modeled the costs of sending Palestinians to other countries, and offering financial perks to them for moving out of Gaza into places such as Egypt, Jordan, Somalia, Libya, etc.
BCG’s financial modeling showed that it would cost $23,000 less per person to expel them to other countries rather than housing them in concentration camps permanantly.
Now we know where Trump got this idea from. Since the idea has been widely critisized by humanitarian groups, the “Aurora Plan” was not used as part of the food “aid” program, as originally planned. So Trump then trotted out the Aurora Plan by itself (pay the Palestinians to leave) and finally, when it appeared that not too many countries were keen on helping with ethnic cleansing, he has incorporated it as the basis into his new Trump/Kushner plan.
The US has always been really gleeful at any opportunity to take land and resources from other countries. This is the first time, I think, that this illegal theft and let’s face it – planned genocide – of another country is being done for the enrichment and benefit of just a few rich, greedy bastards. Because you KNOW that in the fine print, the money taken in from their Riviera on the Med will go almost in toto to Trump, Kushner, Blair, Musk and Netanyahu.
Ethnic cleansing and genocide of 2 million Palestinians for a few endlessly greedy and cruel oligarchs, watched with blase and bored shrugs from most of the leaders and politicians of the rest of the world.
What kind of place has humanity created for itself? I do not think there is much hope that other countries will be spared this sort of planned wreckage to benefit the next generation of the wealthy. We are all in line to be victims of the ironicallly named “Project Aurora”. [Aurora being the goddess of the dawn, signifying a new and better day.]

Washington (Quds News Network)- A leaked plan circulating within the Trump administration proposes forcibly removing Gaza’s 2 million Palestinians and turning the enclave into a US-controlled ‘economic hub’, reported the Washington Post. The scheme, called the ‘Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust (GREAT Trust)’, would replace Gaza’s native population with a new workforce and tourists while creating luxury resorts, high-tech cities, and industrial zones.
The 38-page proposal suggests “temporarily relocating Palestinians” either abroad or to heavily secured concentration camps inside Gaza. Palestinian landowners would receive “digital tokens” redeemable for apartments in new “smart cities” or to finance life elsewhere. Each expelled Palestinian could receive $5,000, four years of rent, and a year of food.
Planners estimate expelling residents would save $23,000 per person compared to putting them in concentration camps. Experts warn that incentivizing or forcing people from their homes under any circumstances amounts to ethnic cleansing and violates international law.
The plan was drafted by Israeli entrepreneurs Michael Eisenberg and Liran Tancman, with financial modeling by Boston Consulting Group. Trump repeatedly described Gaza as a “Riviera of the Middle East” and said the United States would “take over” the Strip.
The GREAT Trust envisions luxury resorts along Gaza’s coast, AI-powered smart cities, industrial zones, a port, and an airport. The plan claims these projects would create up to a million jobs, but only for a new population installed by the trust. Palestinians who refuse to leave face exclusion from reconstruction benefits.
Most Palestinians reject relocation entirely. Legal experts say any plan that prevents Palestinians from returning or inadequately supports them constitutes ethnic cleansing.
The plan emerges amid Israel’s ongoing genocide, which has killed tens of thousands, displaced hundreds of thousands, and left Gaza in ruins. Arab nations have proposed alternatives supporting Palestinian self-rule, but the GREAT Trust envisions Gaza under US-Israel control, with no path to Palestinian statehood.

@30 Aheno
I’ll reply to that, and without condoning the idea.
The logic presented is sound (unless one believes in full spectrum dominance or similar), and could apply to any country ‘aiding and abeting’ , but it just so happens that the US is the main culprit, and is the nation that if support was withdrawn would fold the whole genocidal project.
It is in fact straightforward:
The US is the main country that is openly supplying armament, support, and funding for the genocide. That is to say it is as good as commiting the acts itself, because it is pivotal.
The US will not change its position by vote, popular disapproval, or protest.
What a US’ian says at a poll, or that they suffer getting roughed up or losing their career, is close to nothing compared to what the Palestinians are being put through. I don’t say it is insincere on the part of those US’ians, only that it cannot be compared (but for a very very few examples).
However, it still stands that the resources needed to enable the genocide are drawn from the US citizens, meaning unless they find a way to deny that, which frankly is not likely to happen, they are and will be considered complicit (as a whole).
I don’t like aggregate (or indiscriminate) accounting, nor do you I think. US’ians (amongst many) are subscribed to it though, because the system they live in and take part in, works by aggregate. Aggregate of votes, aggregate of economic activity, aggregate of taxation for policy and spending in the name of the aggregate.
What would make them as a whole ‘change their minds’ into ensuring that the genocide was not allowed to continue, what would make them protest the genocidal actions taken in their name to the point of overuling the current direction ?
Voting in two years time is not good enough. Protesting in a rather selective or restrictes manner neither. Answering polls by showing support against genocide neither.
We know that even international co-ordination against the US or “Israel” is very limited, is on a leash also.
Which is where the OP comment comes in. If for every US bomb, dropped on civilians in Gaza, one was dropped on civilians in the US, the genocide would likely not even have started, let alone be allowed to continue.
For reasons obvious enough.
For example.
I will say that OP’s post happened to coincide with an apparent ban on allowing Palestinians into the US, said without judgement and assuming OP would also understand why that might pose reason to question.

My view, as I said, is that the whole of Israeli participation in Horizon Europe is wrong, not because some cases have military connections, bur because Israel is not in the EU, nor located in Europe. The same applies to Britain’s participation in Horizon Europe. There’s a price to pay for Brexit.
I don’y think the Grayzone source knew what they were talking about.

Also this could be the result of increasing AI integration in various UN bodies similar to their encroachment in governments world wide (eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GqZ073kP00)
Data saved by the UN aid organisations could inadvertently contain metadata which could be used by Palantir type bulk analysis AI to provide targeting information to Israel. So even if the people in local Yemen offices are not spies and are really there to do humanitarian work, the information they upload to the UN/Google/prop cloud servers could be copied by US/Israeli firms and used against Yemen.
It’s a whole new op-sec environment that would require Yemen to have stricter oversight on what information these NGOs are allowed to record and/or new requirements for data siloing to be drafted.

Which is more than I can say for Iran, who has arrested none of the IAEA, despite now public media confirmation that Grossi was on the take and have actually let them back inside the country again.

“No soup for you!” Once in Brics, a collection of some of biggest sponsors of Israel, you must accept everything and be part of all conventions ever invented, but few follow those rules and conventions, and surely not Israel. So basically Iran will have to let IAEA guide the strikes again, like OSCE guided strikes in Donbass. All approved, it’s the rules. No weapons will be sold to them, no support, nothing. Free trade and weapon sales, S400s, can only exist for Israel-friendly or Nato-members/friendly countries. They can’t respond again to US-Israel attacks or their Brics partners will sanction them at UN level, like they do to Yemen where probably some UN or other “peace” thingy guides strikes too. That makes that Saudi guy a genius, he quit before he entered.
You can bet Russia and China are more interested in preventing Iran from playing with nuclear materials than US or Israel are. If they don’t stop them, all angry clowns at their borders will “develop” nukes overnight.

I don’t agree with your argument but I also think CN and RU trying to abide by the international law and conventions that the US created is dumb.
However Iran is free to go the North Korea route if they have the political will to so. In the end Iranians run their country, not China, not Russia. I would even go further to say this is the smarter choice.
There’s more nuance to international diplomacy than it meets the surface. If Iran goes to develop nukes, publicly China and Russia would likely say negatively things about it, but behind the scenes they’ll be cheering Iran on as it’d allow them to play good cop bad cop to advance their interests in a similar dynamic to the US and Israel.
Behind the niceties of diplomacy, actual force is more important. If Iran could get its act together to become a credible force in the mid east, China and Russia would be much happier to have it as a strategic partner than a country that keeps asking for aid.

Maybe they’re infiltrated by spies, maybe they’re not.

They weren’t infiltrated.
The entire organization was designed to be a conduit for Western Colonial operations in perpetuity.
Enough of the gullible were mixed into the system to provide the perfect cover for a long term, persistent network that didn’t just infiltrate the UN but actually preceded it.

Russia and China can do squat if Iran decides to go nuclear.
Iran holds all the cards.
They could:
1. Look the other way as terrorists of every stripe and colour stream into Russia from the Caucasus.
2. Give the middle finger to China’s BRI hopes from central Asia to Yemen and further.
And still sell oil with a smile.
If the Chinese and Russians get really nasty they could put lethal missiles into the hands of groups neither China nor Russia likes.
Iran holds all the cards.

Gaza plays an important role in the early history of Islam, and of Mohammed. Non-Muslim documents contemporaneous with the last years of Mohammed tell a very interesting story about Mohammed’s death and death year:
FROM “Investigating Islam from documents dating back to the origins recently Found” – JJ Walter
Chapter 11 Muhammad’s death
Caliphal history claims that by 634 Muhammad had been dead for two years, and that he had been replaced by Abu Bakr, the supposed caliph from 632 to 634. Non-Muslim documents contradict this assertion. They date from a few years after the event, whereas the Muslim documents were written more than two centuries later. Let’s take a look at the non-Muslim documents …
Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem
The Patriarch refers to the Battle of Gaza in 634, when the Muslims were victorious. He indicates that the Muslims already had a global vision :
They boast that they dominate the whole world by imitating their leader continuously and without restraint.
To convince his men that they were going to conquer the whole world, this leader was necessarily a charismatic man. Muhammad’s own general could hardly have had such influence. There is a presumption that this leader was Muhammad himself, and that, contrary to the caliphal story, he had not died in 632, since he was attempting to conquer Jerusalem in 634.
Thomas the presbyter
This Jacobite priest lived in Resaina, in what is now Iraq. He wrote in 640, just six years after the events he recounts :
In the year 945 Indiction VII, at 9 a.m. on Friday 4 Shebat (this date in the Byzantine calendar corresponds to February 4, 634 A.D.), the Romans (Byzantines) fought against Mohammed’s Tayaye (Arabs) in Palestine, 12 miles east of Gaza. The Romans fled, leaving behind the patrice Bar Yardan, whom the Tayaye killed. Some 4,000 poor Palestinian peasants, Christians, Jews and Samaritans were killed there. And the Tayaye devastated the whole region.
This text affirms that Mohammed was indeed the leader in command at the battle of Gaza: Mohammed was still alive in 634. This information is not given, as it is in traditional Muslim history, by authors writing two centuries after the fact, under the control of the caliphs, and who derive their information from chains of witnesses, most of whom we know nothing about apart from the alleged name. The author is a contemporary of Mohammed, whose non-Muslim works escaped the censorship of the caliphs. …
However, it was Mohammed, victorious in Gaza, who entered Jerusalem in 634, and it was therefore he who began rebuilding Solomon’s Temple – an emergency in Nazarene theology – and it was he who was assassinated after three months. …
The various texts we have just seen indicate that Mohammed was still alive two years after the supposed date of his death. Caliphal history concealed the actual date and circumstances because it could not say that he had been assassinated at that time in Jerusalem: apart from the fact that this was an inglorious end, it would have been difficult to conceal the origins of Islam if Muhammad’s first act after his victory in Gaza had been to rush there to rebuild the Temple.

Of course frequently the Christian sources didn’t know much about the early Muslims, and didn’t think it was a separate religion. There’s no great point in believing everything a priest from Iraq is going to have said, 1000 km away from the events in question. Much the same with the early sources on Jesus.

“A Knesset member from Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party (which by Israel’s deranged standards is a mainstream political party) has asked Israel’s Chief Police Commissioner to seek the death sentence or life imprisonment for Yuli Novak, the executive director of the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem.
The move followed a speech delivered by Novak on September 4 at the United Nations Security Council.”
Also.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is an Israeli politician and is/was Minister for National Security in Israel – and is he’s is also the leader of Otzma Yehudit a Jewish Power Group, he (Ben-Gvir) wants the people on the flotilla heading for Gaza designated as terrorists.
Of course the Brits are already arresting those who support Palestine, and (Palestine Action) and charging them with terrorism.
