CAIRO/JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Israeli planes and tanks pounded areas across the Gaza Strip overnight and on Sunday, destroying several residential buildings, witnesses said, as Palestinians hoped a U.S. plan to end the war would soon ease their suffering.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who had called for an end to the bombing, said on Saturday on his Truth Social platform that Israel had agreed to an “initial withdrawal line” inside Gaza and that “when Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be IMMEDIATELY effective.”

 
 

Israel kept up the military pressure in Gaza as Egypt prepared to host delegates from Hamas, Israel and the United States, and Qatar, to kick off talks over the implementation of the most advanced effort yet to halt the conflict.

Did anyone actually believe, including Donald Trump, that Israel wanted to stop before it finished ethnically cleansing Palestine?
Israel is as Israel does.

President Donald Trump announced that he is giving Hamas a deadline of 6 p.m. on Oct. 5 to respond to his proposal to end the Israel-Hamas war before they are “hunted down, and killed.”
“If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER,” Trump wrote in post on Truth Social on Oct. 3.

Today is October 5th, Trump’s seemingly arbitrary deadline.
But is the deadline more than arbitrary?
Al Aqsa mosque is about to be invaded and defiled once again. It has become an annual Sukkot event.That the al Aqsa mosque is going to be invaded and defiled during Sukkot is a given.Will the actions of the extremist settlers go above and beyond what they have perpetrated in past years?The long awaited Red Bulls arrived in Jerusalem this summer, they are a necessary ingredient for the creation of the Third Temple.
Sukkot begins at sundown on October 6th. The first full day of Sukkot is October 7th.
Did Donald Trump choose his deadline with the Third Temple in mind?

================
 
Answer: No.
But Donald Trump thinks he can still gaslight American voters and ROW.
Everyone can now see who is in charge in DC, and it is not Trump.
Next question: When does someone challenge Trump on this very point in the next presser?
And how will Trump spin it?

Posted by: Jane | Oct 5 2025 12:52 utc | 4

There is no ceasefire and there is no agreement.  Trump said (last night?, early this morning?) that “when the ceasefire takes effect…”  This is after saying more than 24 hours ago that Israel had to stop bombing immediately.  Trump clearly has no intention of holding Israel to any “immediate ceasefire”.  He is a craven liar and a tool.  But we know this.  This is the man who wants to use the military on his own people and admits he hates and will punish anyone who didn’t vote for him.  (Which is odd, given that he won the election.  Who cares now who did or did not vote for him?  He’s in the White House.)
 

Trump: When the ceasefire takes effect, the exchange of prisoners and missing persons will begin, and we will set the stage for the next phase of the withdrawal from Gaza
https://t-me.translate.goog/s/Sohaibpress?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en

 
To add to that, now Netanyahu claims there are heretofor unnoticed clauses that allow Israel the following:
 

Maariv: 
Israel introduced a clause into the Trump plan “under the radar.” Clause 5 stipulates that Israel will release Palestinian prisoners after Hamas releases all Israeli prisoners, living and dead.
 
https://t-me.translate.goog/s/Ahaamd1985?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en
 
 
Israel managed to slip a clause into the Trump plan “under the radar,” according to Maariv. Clause 5 stipulates that Israel will release Palestinian prisoners after Hamas releases all 48 Israeli prisoners, living or dead, held in its possession. The clause aims to minimize “Hamas’ tricks and deceptions,” according to the Hebrew newspaper.
 
Yedioth Ahronoth on Netanyahu: 
Israel will be responsible and involved in demilitarizing the Gaza Strip
 
 
Yedioth Ahronoth on Netanyahu: The Palestinian Authority will not control Gaza the next day, and there will be no Hamas representative.
 If Hamas does not release the detainees within the timeframe set by Trump, Israel will return to fighting.
 
https://t-me.translate.goog/s/youseffares19?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en

 
Israel has not ended the continuous bombing.
 

Gaza Ministry of Health:
 
– 65 martyrs, including two recovered martyrs, and 153 injuries arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals during the past 24 hours.
 
https://t-me.translate.goog/s/youseffares19?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en
 
Urgent | The occupation army completely destroys Al-Azhar University in Gaza City.
 
11 martyrs were killed by Israeli occupation forces in several areas since dawn today, including 4 people waiting for aid in the southern Gaza Strip.
 
https://t-me.translate.goog/s/Sohaibpress?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en

 
I see no intention of honest brokering here.  The genocide will continue to its end, and anyone who believes the US and Israel intend anything different is foolish.  They are lying killers who cannot be relied on in any way to keep to their words.  In particular, this is on Trump and Netanyahu, who are both vicious pigs.  What an evil combination of immorality and greed.

The Vach brothers: Israel’s first family of genocide
„….,
Two top Israeli officers who invented tales of nonexistent Jewish children and babies murdered on 7 October were among the army commanders who have led the genocidal destruction of the Gaza Strip ever since.
 
Brigadier General Barak Hiram and Colonel Golan Vach helped manufacture consent for the annihilation of Gaza by falsely claiming that Palestinian fighters executed eight Israeli children in Kibbutz Be’eri.
 
Hiram and Vach later leveraged that consent to carry out war crimes, jointly creating a kilometers-wide corridor of death bisecting the strip south of Gaza City.
 
According to reports in Israeli daily Haaretz, the officer most responsible for the area’s obliteration is Golan Vach’s younger brother, Brigadier General Yehuda Vach, who inherited from Hiram command over the so-called Netzarim corridor in the summer of 2024.
 
With the help of his brother, Yehuda Vach then transformed the scorched territory into a kill zone where Palestinian civilians are massacred without mercy, Haaretz reported in late December 2024.
 
In February, the Hind Rajab Foundation – a Belgium-based organization that seeks to bringIsraelis responsible for the genocide to justice – filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court, urging that it indict Yehuda Vach for war crimes in Gaza…..(excerpt)

First draft:
 
The Capture of the Global Generative A.I Industry by the Jewish Zionist Political-Finance and Technological Complex (“The Cabal”)
 
Preview:

 
Position Statement

  1. A Global cabal centered around the Zionist Jews of the West are in total control of the Western Generative A.I technology stack and it’s ecosystem of related data analytics, security and cloud services technologies.
  2. The Cabal operates in cooperation and in tension with the demands of a subordinate Cabal of Anglo-American Imperialists (“Neocons”) who enforce and facilitate the Cabal’s domination of the Generative A.I stack.
  3. Between the above named Jewish Cabal and its subordinate Anglo-American Imperialist Cabal, the entire foreign, economic, and domestic industrial policy of the five eyes and ‘israel’ is unified within a global strategy of financial and technological capture, monopoly and aggressive exclusion of Non-western (Chinese) competition.
  4. The Generative A.I technology stack, along with its ancillary security, data analytics stack is being pushed into the most sensitive areas of government research and operations facilities all across the Western and non-western world, extending all the way to ASEAN countries with the exclusion of China. This fact poses a massive future security threat and influence lever should the Cabal decide to support color revolutions in these countries (or their neighbors). The threat is even more exacerbated by the fact that these technologies are currently being used to support Western imperial warfare against unarmed populations in the Middle East and potentially elsewhere.
  5. The American-Zionist led campaign to inflate the value of Generative A.I technology stock and supporting technologies (Data Center Power and Thermal) involves driving the use of these technologies in every possible area of technology and commerce, in an effort to make it an inextricable component of everyday human life, displacing non-a.i technologies. This represents an attempt to develop a matrix of total control over human life, particularly in those areas where human life is dependent on compliance with technological trends and Western-dominated practices.
  6. The sheer breadth of coverage of the of GenAI technology ecosystem, dominated by a central Jewish Zionist Cabal, is resulting in a global monopoly over a core set of technologies human beings require to perform High Performance Computing (HPC). The entire field of HPC is therefore being subsumed and monopolized by Generative A.I technology vendor cabal.

2. Justifying Premise
The following publicly verifiable statements comprise my justifying premise for the above position declaration:

  1. The public face of The Cabal comprises known Jewish Zionists with implicit or explicitly declared allegiance to the so called ‘State of Israel’. Characters from
  2. These Jewish Zionists operate in public collusion in order to capture and dominate key technologies (represented by technology companies) essential to the delivery of Generative A.I services at scale. They have made recorded statements to this effect and market actions have supported these statements.
  3. Representatives of the Zionist Jewish Cabal have publicly voiced their intention to apply generative a.i and it’s ancillary technologies to a Global matrix of control over human life, beginning with the Western world and eventually extending to Asia.
  4. Cloud and A.I technology companies have been publicly known to support israeli and American millitary psychological operations against global populations, most notably against Gaza with Unit 8200 and more specifically via the “Lavender” kill-chain system.
  5. The POTUS, in public collaboration with almost exclusively Jewish representatives of the Cabal has identified the role of global US Generative A.I dominance as central to the national security of the USA. i.e “worth going to war over”. To this end, the USA has launched a global embargo of Chinese-origin A.I technologies, favoring the developing of Jewish controlled A.I technology stack.
  6. Along with a central core of directly A.I-related products, Western corporations are pushing a range of ancillary products that are also affiliated to the Zionist Jewish Cabal and their Anglo-American subordinates: CPU. Storage. Networking. Security solutions. The threat of technological infiltration therefore extends far beyond the actual A.I technology itself but to the “stack” of supporting tools and infrastructure.
  7. Almost every key player and many minor ones throughout the Generative A.I technology stack has an office in israel, despite the fact that there is on surface no (apparent) commercial, technological or resource reason why this should be the case. It’s fair to assume that the reasons are political.
  8. The field of High Performance Computing (HPC), critical to enabling Nations and national industries to conduct advanced research in medical, population management, military, industrial and economic fields is being subsumed into the Generative A.I compute stack: Even if the specific HPC application is not particularly “A.I Centric”, the compute hardware is being replaced by the same infrastructure that supports Generative A.I Applications i.e, the same hardware dominated by the Zionist Jewish Cabal. State Entities embarking on massive HPC rejuvenation projects are seeing sense in simply replacing HPC with the powerful, high capacity Generative A.I clusters which are imminently capable of “high performance computing”.
  9. The presence of a controlling israeli influence throughout the US Military (Pentagon), Intelligence, Finance and Government machinery results in favouring israel-affilliated businesses delivering Generative A.I solutions (Storage, compute, networking providers).

These are publicly verifiable facts and trends.

Anne Wright US Veteran Joins Gaza Flotilla:  “We Must Stand Against Genocide”
Speaking from Istanbul on October fifth, retired US Army Colonel and former diplomat Mary Ann Wright, now a key member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, declared: “The ships will continue until Palestine is free.” Wright, who resigned in 2003 over the Iraq War, has been involved in over 35 Gaza-bound flotillas since 2010. She emphasized that despite arrests, threats, and bombings, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition will keep sailing to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza. Condemning the US government’s complicity in the ongoing war, she said, “Our government is up to its eyeballs in genocide,” urging Americans to say “no to genocide, no to ethnic cleansing.” She accused Israeli authorities of violating international law by intercepting civilian ships in international waters, calling the blockade and detentions morally indefensible.

If you looked it up….why claim that the site is holding that view and not openly sharing a hebrew view ?
 
 
Those are distinctly pro-Hamas protests (as well as pro-Palestine).

The Guardian, Jun 6, 2025

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has admitted arming clans in Gaza that he says are opposed to Hamas, after allegations that members of these criminal gangs looted humanitarian aid and have ties to jihadist groups.
The admission came after Israeli media reports quoted defence sources as saying Netanyahu had authorised giving weapons to a clan reportedly led by a man known as Yasser Abu Shabab, a Rafah resident from a Bedouin family, known locally for his involvement in criminal activity. Israel allegedly provided Abu Shabab’s group, which calls itself the “Anti-Terror Service”, with Kalashnikov assault rifles, including weapons seized from Hamas.
“On the advice of security officials, we activated clans in Gaza that oppose Hamas. What’s wrong with that?” Netanyahu said in a short video he posted on social media. “It only saves the lives of Israeli solders, and publicising this only benefits Hamas.”

Los Angeles Times, Oct 5, 2025

As Israel seeks to excise Hamas from Gaza, it’s empowering militias led by the Palestinian group’s enemies, assisting and providing them with military support in an attempt to present them as an alternative to Hamas’s rule in the enclave.
Abu Shabab’s group may have been the first to make itself known in Gaza, but other militias have since cropped up, activists say, operating in various parts of the Strip in concert with the Israeli military.
One of the more prominent examples is led by Hussam Al-Astal, 50, a former officer in the Palestinian Authority’s security service who was accused by colleagues in the Palestinian Authority and Hamas of collaborating with Israel in the 1990s and of assassinating a high-ranking Hamas official in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
His group, which calls itself “The Strike Force Against Terror,” has cemented its control over Qizan Al-Najjar, a village south of Rafah, which Astal describes as a haven for those opposed to Hamas.
“Today in my area, we have no war,” Astal said in a phone interview Friday, adding that others are expected to come and that anyone entering the area was vetted for ties to Hamas.
“If you come here, you’ll see children playing. We have water, electricity, safety.”
Astal made his comments the same day Hamas announced that it will accept parts of the Trump administration plan to end the war which began when Hamas forces invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas agreed to release hostages and largely give up its governing role in Gaza, which it has controlled since 2007.
In a video posted in September, Al-Astal promises to pay $50 dollars to anyone who kills a Hamas fighter.
“Every Hamas member I will personally throw in the trash heap. Hamas’s rule is ending,” he says.
On Friday, Al-Astal’s group was involved in one of the bloodiest instances of intra-Palestinian fighting in the enclave, when a Hamas unit attacked a neighborhood in Khan Yunis in a bid to arrest members of a prominent clan accused of collaborating with Israel.

The indigenous people held their title to the lands they lived in by right of conquest, where they defeated other nations. The empire centered on Cahokia disintegrated. But no other indigenous nation owes it anything (and nor do European settlers.)
In general I do not believe in either collective guilt or collective virtue. Hereditary collective guilt or collective virtue is even more dubious.

‘Drank from the toilet’: Malaysian flotilla activists recount detention
 
Malaysian singers-actors Heliza Helmi and Hazwani Helmi, who took part in the Global Sumud Flotilla mission to deliver aid to Gaza, have described “brutal” and “cruel” treatment by Israeli forces after their vessel was attacked.
 
A plane carrying activists from the aid flotilla, who were attacked and detained by Israel in international waters, landed on Saturday at Istanbul Airport. As many as 137 people from the humanitarian flotilla, including 36 Turkish and 23 Malaysian citizens, were deported on the flight. 
 
Speaking to the Anadolu news agency, the sisters recounted harsh conditions during their detention.
 
“Can you imagine we drank from the toilet water? Some people were very, very sick, but they [the Israelis] said: ‘Are they dead? If not, then that’s not my problem,’” Hazwani Helmi said. “They are very, very cruel people.”
 
Heliza Helmi also described going without food for days. “I ate on October 1. Today is my first meal,” she said on Saturday. “So for three days, I did not eat – only drank from the toilet.”
 
https://aje.io/3j77nh?update=4011331
 
Italian journalist Saverio Tommasi says Israeli soldiers withheld medicines and treated activists “like monkeys” after they were abducted from vessels that were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
 
About 450 activists were detained as Israeli forces intercepted the fleet of 42 boats, and most of those remain in Israeli prison.
 
Another Italian journalist, Lorenzo D’Agostino, said the activists were repeatedly woken up during the two nights he spent behind bars.
 
They were also intimidated with dogs and by soldiers pointing the laser sights of their guns at them “to scare us”, he said.
 
D’Agostino added that his belongings and money had been “stolen by the Israelis”.

For all those who still claim Israel is a mere tool of US Imperialism, the reality isn’t so clear cut.  It’s not a defense of US Imperialism to recognize, it’s government and more importantly it’s entire ruling class is captured by the Zios.  
 
Mersheimer today:
In May 2005, Aaron David Miller, an American who has a passionate attachment to Israel and was one of President Bill Clinton’s advisors at the Camp David negotiations in the summer of 1999, published a remarkable op-ed in the Washington Post titled “Israel’s Lawyer.”
 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/2005/05/23/israels-lawyer/7ab0416c-9761-4d4a-80a9-82b7e15e5d22/
 
Miller wrote:
 
“For far too long, many American officials involved in Arab-Israeli peacemaking, myself included, have acted as Israel’s attorney, catering and coordinating with the Israelis at the expense of successful peace negotiations. If the United States wants to be an honest and effective broker on the Arab-Israeli issue, than surely it can have only one client: the pursuit of a solution that meets the needs and requirements of both sides.”
 
“With the best of motives and intentions, we listened to and followed Israel’s lead without critically examining what that would mean for our own interests, for those on the Arab side and for the overall success of the negotiations. The “no surprises” policy, under which we had to run everything by Israel first, stripped our policy of the independence and flexibility required for serious peacemaking. If we couldn’t put proposals on the table without checking with the Israelis first, and refused to push back when they said no, how effective could our mediation be? Far too often, particularly when it came to Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy, our departure point was not what was needed to reach an agreement acceptable to both sides but what would pass with only one — Israel.”
 
While Miller is to be commended for his honesty, his comments are truly remarkable in that he is effectively admitting that even though he is an American who should have axiomatically privileged the US national interest over Israel’s, he was privileging Israel’s interests over America’s. And note that he says he was not the only one who subordinated the US national interest to Israel’s interests. He surely would include his fellow advisor at Camp David, Dennis Ross, who also has a passionate attachment to Israel.
 
Obviously, hardly anything has changed since Miller penned his op-ed, as President Trump’s top two advisors who will be negotiating with Israel and Hamas in Egypt this week are ardent Zionists — Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
 
This situation is unacceptable. It is not in the American national interest to have individuals with a dual loyalty — or who might even be “Israel firsters” — negotiating on behalf of the United States. Common sense dictates that the US negotiators in Egypt should be individuals who are solely guided by what is in the American national interest.”

Urgent | Hamas Movement: – Some media platforms and websites are circulating allegations attributed to a source in the Hamas movement to Al-Hadath channel, saying that the movement has agreed to gradually hand over weapons under international supervision. We confirm that this news is false and baseless. – We confirm that official statements and declarations are published on the official Hamas website and the official Telegram channel, and we call on the media to verify the accuracy of the official Hamas website. (end)
 
 
There is a lot of disinformation now about what Hamas is allegedly going to do. 
It is important to remember that Hamas speaks only through its official channels and does not do” a Hamas source”, or ” a source close to the movement” type of  “information”.
 
 
Especially Al- Hadhat and al Arabya  should be ignored.

The reality is very clear. You found Miller from 2005, but there is SO much information,, also first hand,  about how the US and Israel are intertwined,  why and their modus operadni. How they operate is not proof that Israel controls or runs the US. 
 
I am not going to open a debate now about that because other things are more important and because there has been a lot of debate about it at MoA, and in general. I took part in that debate and will not repeat myself.

The Trump-Netanyahu Gaza Genocide Completion Diktat
 
https://www.newglobalpolitics.org/the-trump-netanyahu-gaza-genocide-diktat/
 
How to wrap-up or continue a genocide in 20 points
 
The Trump-Netanyahu diktat is not about peace because there has not been a war. What has happened in bloody reality is a genocide committed by Israel and its de facto Western allies, that is, accomplices and co-perpetrators, met by a desperate and heroic resistance of the victims who have stood almost alone.
 
Gaza Genocide deniers who have twisted their capacious, warped minds into 4-dimensional pretzels to think of Israeli conduct as a ‘war’ must also believe that the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of 1943 was a battle in a ‘German-Jewish war’ – which also makes them Holocaust deniers pure and simple.
 
The truth is that only wars end, ideally, with  peace; genocide must end with punishment. And before punishment, there would have to be not peace but actual war, genuine and  just war: for what a genocide requires, morally and legally, is not a ‘peace’ plan, but an end, if need be, imposed by lethal armed intervention against the perpetrators.
 
A ‘peace plan’ that comes with an explicit blank check (yet another one) to ‘finish the job’ for the perpetrators in case the victims keep resisting – or the perpetrators just feel like it – is such an obvious and total perversion that its common acceptance only proves (once again) that the world of the Gaza Genocide is not only evil but profoundly insane.
Indeed, since the end of the Cold War, there has never been a clearer more compelling case for outside military intervention than the Gaza Genocide…”

This is the principal point of what has come to be known as today’s liberalism, more popularly known as secular humanism. The popular, and apparently sensible, appeal of humanism is that humanity should always place human interests first. The problem is that this very humanism can be traced in an unbroken line all the way back to the Biblical ”Curse of Canaan.” Humanism is the logical result of the demonology of history.

A briefest of recap on how negotiations stand:
 
 
Phase 1:
 
Ceasefire
 
“Israel” withdraws to outside of blue line.
 
https://t.me/Sohaibpress/116330
 
Hamas releases prisoners
 
Phase 2 and on: 
 
 
Deal with disarmament, surrender of Hamas, governance etc. …..
 
 
All sides agree to Phase 1, however if it is accepted without guarantee or agreement on subsequent phases, meaning “Israel” might return to conflict after ceasefire and after prisoners exchanged, is something else.
 
 
What counts as acceptance is also changing, with US approval of Hamas response and so an expected ceasefire not matched by actions of its partner (“Israel”). Ceasefire has now been moved to the above scenario.
 
 
The timeframe/deadline also appears to be changing.
 
 
Hamas is not willing to disarm but agrees to place its armed force under a newly formed local governance, not the imposed US governance suggested by the US plan.
 
 
There are many points of contention and much disinfo…and so it just remains as possibly Phase 1 being implemented, or further negotiation of other points and then Phase 1, or no agreement….

It would be a good idea for MOAers to get a closeup view of the war ( Hamas field commander’s word for it from commander quoted by Justin Podur) as described by Hamas field commander:
 
 
Hamas field commander says “We are fighting a very complex battle in Gaza City and the enemy is practicing the utmost degree of benefit from previous battles with the aim of reducing losses in its ranks so the casualty aversion of the Israelis is extreme … and so it is difficult….
The enemy is advancing slowly and by means of unmanned vehicles to detect and target the fighting cells and we are fully aware of that and are foiling many opportunities. The enemy’s advance is taking place under the eyes of the Resistance fighters and we have tactics whose title is valuable targets and the largest number of enemy soldiers killed. We tell the enemy soldiers we are not far from you and you will see our faces whenever we decide to because we are fighting a harsh and complex war of attrition. ”
From Justin Podur podcast documented at end of previous Palestine thread.

The brutality of Islamists and Zionists doesn’t derive from the religions of Judaism or Islam. It comes from the brutality of politics. Children are deliberately brutalised within all religions on order to turn them into useful oppressors and USUKIS has spent 25 brutalising Muslims in torture rendition prisons.
 
But the dictatorial regimes imposed on Muslim countries   by USUKIS since long before 9/11 , the brutalising of the guards as well as the inmates, was and is a political decision to attack civilisation. 
Iraq was starved, Syria was starved and Palestine has been starved, and many other countries in history in order to force submission.  The brutality of the Nazis infected the Jews , who are now designer models of brutality themselves.
The same will happen in Britain and Europe where the brutlities of the European colonies has created an unstoppable whirlwind of hate against  European peoples. The fact that most Muslims in Britain are powerless against our governments, hasn’t yet connected with the Westerners  of colonial times.
 
They are just helpless onlookers , same as the Europeans becore them. Barbarity is the province of politics alone.

     Our message to the struggling and patient people is that we feel your pain and we always strive to make this aggression costly for the enemy and we kiss the head of every individual of our people and God willing our collective patience will soon lead glory in a near dawn.”

DROP SITE
 
Senior Hamas leader, Osama Hamdan on the resistance’s response to Trump’s Gaza plan: “When studying and reading the plan, three factors were taken into account before making any decision.
 
I. The first factor was our determination to stop the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, to bring them relief, and to end this ongoing massacre and their suffering—especially after they have endured nearly two years with steadfastness, without abandoning their land.
 
II. The second factor was our national responsibility. Other Palestinian factions have shared in the resistance, and others are present in Gaza. It was necessary to consult with them.
 
III. The third factor was the support that has been extended to us at the Arab and Islamic levels. As for the plan itself, it can also be broken down into three main parts.
 
1. The first is about an immediate halt to the war: ending the suffering, bringing in aid, withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces, and conducting a prisoner exchange. On this point, we welcomed the efforts made at the Arab, Islamic, and international levels, as well as the efforts of President Trump. We said we are ready to enter into direct negotiations to carry out the exchange and create the right conditions on the ground for it. That’s the first part.
 
(Interviewer: What exactly does Hamas mean by entering into negotiations? What issues need to be negotiated right now?)
 
Hamdan continues: “There are arrangements that must be agreed upon. First, the procedures of the exchange itself: the numbers, the necessary environment to carry it out, the handover of bodies, the halt of aggression so it can proceed, the Israeli withdrawal from areas, the return of displaced Palestinians, the entry of aid. All of these come together as one package. We said we are ready to immediately enter negotiations to finalize these.
 
2. The second part of the plan concerns the administration of Gaza after the fighting stops. Here, we reaffirmed the position agreed upon a year ago, under Arab sponsorship: the formation of a Palestinian national body composed of independent Palestinian figures to administer Gaza, with a specific mechanism linking it to the Palestinian Authority in order to preserve Palestinian political unity. We agreed to this a year ago, and we still adhere to it. And I must stress—this position stems from national responsibility. We will not accept that Gaza, as part of Palestine, be administered by any non-Palestinian party.
 
3. The third part concerns future issues—about the Palestinian state, ending the conflict, and so forth. We said Hamas does not monopolize the right to answer such questions. These require a collective national response, involving all Palestinian forces. We will play a constructive role, but Hamas alone cannot answer them.”

For Trump everything is the deal. Those who deal in deals respect those who will work a deal. Hamas and the Palestinian Resistance have indicated they will work the deal. The Israelis work nothing and don’t do deals. That would infuriate Trump because doing a deal means an ego boost and a win for him. And of course it would be. Anyone who rolls over and accepts an ultimatum as a deal would not be respected by Trump and of course the Palestinians are not stupid enough to do it.

The Palestinians know their enemies well. They will work Trump and work with Trump to hopefully divide him and Naziyahoo which seems to be happening.

I think I said that it was too horribly believable, or some such. Pulls together a lot of strands in our current worldwide dystopia. There are those who think that the drift or move to one-world government and central control of everything is unstoppable—not even advocates of this, but just observers of how political units have become ever larger through centralization (I am thinking of the Afghan-origin writer whose name escapes me; I enjoyed his books. Oh, it’s Mir Tamim Ansary—thank-you, Google’s AI).

I’m posting a link to an article below here again today because there was no Palestine blog yesterday. Despite it being about the genocide of American Indians, it is in my opinion highly relevant to what we see going on in the GAZA. 
 
I also wanted to say that I will no longer add comments under the simple name of ‘George’, but as GeorgeWendell from now on. This is because someone else calls themselves George now who writes on here from time to time and I don’t want my views mistaken for theirs. I’m the George from Australia.  
 
From Yesterday:
 
The article linked below is concerned with the historical genocide of American Indians. The remarkable thing is that it juxtaposes (without deliberately emphasizing it) the same attitude that we see in Israel in terms of wanton genocide. This took place at a time when relatively few Jews had actually migrated to America between late 1600s to late 1800s, so they can’t really be blamed for what took place in this case, although some may have been involved. (I have checked historical  immigration records of Jewish people to America for this particular claim).
 
No doubt extreme Israeli/US/Euro Zionism is behind what we see in the atrocities in Gaza and Israel now, but this article demonstrates that there is a terrible precursor to treating other human beings as execrable in American history that is not linked to Zionism as we know it today, or  as it is in more recent history. So is it correct to only blame Jews and pro-Zionists in the States now, or is there some sort of specter of the past in non-Jewish minds also influencing thoughts of others that sympathizes with what the Jews and Zionists are doing in seeking to irradicate an entire ethnic group of people?
 
I wonder what Americans think.
 
Not that it was any different in my country Australia with the treatment of aboriginal people, it was just that there was a relatively small population in comparison with the estimate of 11 million American Indians as claimed in the linked article. Equally horrific attitudes and mass killings took place however.

Speaking as an American; I don’t think most Americans think about its own genocidal history at all. A few of us read something like “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” in college, but most of us think that history is a pile of irrelevant facts coughed up on tests and then forgotten. Present-day real life is challenging and time-consuming enough.
 
As to the current Israeli genocide of Palestinians, well, there are polls aplenty about that already. Most have no really strong opinion on the matter: a lot of those opposed think it’s bad but shrug their shoulders and move on. Real passion can be found among the few American leftists (statistically irrelevant) and college-age types whose passion may be a mile long and an inch deep, if history is any judge. But the Christofascists are a powerful minority and very much in favor of anything “Israel” does.

Interesting what you say about the Christofascists* merging with Zionists (*probably similar so called ‘Christian’ forces behind earlier KKK ) since many would have seen themselves as ‘Christians’ who were the ones around when the greatest genocidal action was taking place against American Indians during earlier periods in America. So I guess is it just Zionists and Judaists with Christofascists joining in as you say. If others are indifferent then could it have something to do with tacit acceptance and ignorance concerning the past, or possible feelings of misplaced guilt that are shut out? As it is in my country with Aboriginal people.
 
I would also like to say I am not seeking to blame American people of today for the actions of the past, but I wonder if it has anything to do with support for Israel beyond pure Zionism? 
 
The article I linked caused  me to see it this way.

Your point is correct and simple fact. Thanks for a necessary reminding us again of its constant omission. The settler state histories are clear, plain and genocidal from occupied Palestine to occupied Oz  to occupied Turtle Island. This must be addressed. understood and acknowledged as a necessary precondition of any fundamental foundation for a strong and effective collective peoples’ coalition of resistance, which we should immediately begin building together in a serious way. 
 
ps All is made clear by the opening quote of the third President of the United Snakes of America channeling Snotrich and too many others of his ilk:
 
“If we are constrained to lift the hatchet against any tribe, we will never lay it down until that tribe is exterminated or driven beyond the Mississippi…In war they will kill some of us but we shall destroy them all.” Thomas Jefferson, 1807.”
 
These malevolent settler state regimes can also easily be shown as invalid, illegitimate and illegal. Any resistance movement worth its salt would necessarily point out this  illegality as a plank of policy, decolonization and struggle,  culminating in the toppling and replacement of  the present fascist regimes with administrations by and for people – not profit-making operations by oligarchs, gangsters and governments of  wars without and within and ps the surest way to lose one is not to know you’re in one.
They are going to eat us alive if we let them. They are already moving the fences closer.  Money talks and bullshit walks. We must end these evil and oppressive occupation regimes of genociders by any means necessary. For love, humanity and our honour.

It is an interesting word, but it is just a word and there is no replacement for it. It infers there maybe some chance for change often if other factors are implemented or acted on. ‘Hopeless’ sounds even worse since it infers there is no chance for change. That unfortunately might lead to apathy and stasis.

Israel has no right to exist, but it decided to react against Palestinian protest with genocide. Some say Britain gave authority for the Isrseli Occupation,, But Isrsel attacked the British.  Now Trump is saying that the US gives authority for the genocide, but Israel will soon attack the US.
The reality of the relationship between the US or UK with Israel is that most British and US politicians lead a double life, belonging culturally to both their local communitied’ constituencies and  the Urban,  Zionist FreeMasonry.  They have wives / husbands and mistresses / partners  in both environments, like BoJo, simultaneously. Or alternatively, like Stsrmer, their single partner is Jewish Zionist  and their work is British. Starmer is in reality an Israeli Minister, like Ben Gvir or Smotrich, whose office also  legislates in England incidentally. 
 
 
Both my current MP and the previous MP are equally at home in  local , Labour, British and South Asian constituencies and London , International ,Jewish , Zionist London society.
 
This is England. We have no idea what  our representatives actually get up to.

@63 GeorgeWendell

Throughout history are examples of atrocity, prehistory also. Convention in conflict is relatively recent, which is why current reality is so abhorent :

Nations have become civilised , civilian.

Meaning the agreed or understood structure is not to harm civilians. Now we have ‘our nations’ openly supporting the massacre of civilians. It is a return to more barbarous times, and it highlights the artificial veneer modern governance has become, which is fearful given government owns means of control by force of own population.

There are also many historical examples of how fast circumstance can swing to an extreme.

There is some cross over with US, some christianity sees itself as chosen (even amongst own) , biblical homeland is sometimes a theme, evangelicals have endtime beliefs…tbis is hardly present in europe.

The US does not work along British lines either, I have always found UK subordinated, losing if you like, though at higher levels who knows what goes on and why. Most of europe politics is completely corrupt via EU.

At its simplest though, USians took the US (as europeans or whatever flavour suits anyone’s position) .

“I don’t think most Americans think about its own genocidal history at all” Malenkov is a good example.

Meaning laissez-faire , not in a position to judge, normalised in a sense, ‘whatever”, real estate, modern wild west even.

The european reality (colonialism) on the other hand is historical, part redeemed but also folded into the new ‘civilian reality’ I mention at start. I don’t say it is correct, it to a degree leaves former colonies to deal with their new independence as well as recuperation (including those that hold a western majority). However most european nations are still just their own people on their own historical landscape, and so do not think like USians with regards to what is occuring, they object much more, much more openly.

I would phrase all that better and give better examples but it is late. At least it gives some kind of perspective for anyone to argue against.

I don’t think tracing a line from the world several hundred years ago to zionism and current events is realistic though, in the sense that responsibility is now, with each individual as they act , under what organisation, and not due to ‘some collective history’ .

And as always, it returns us to the questions of who is controlling / complicit with who, in the current setting.

Thanks John
 
I like to look at the threads of history behind how we got to where we are since it may help in healing some of the past injustices and attitudes that I’m certain don’t just disappear over time.  They can also create the seeds of the next injustices. What interested me in this article is exactly what you carefully gleaned from it and that is some humans treating another group of ethnic humans like as if they are vermin to be eradicated, and so it is not unique to Israel nor Jewish people. So I think there is support for what is going on in Israel from sources other than extreme Zionism. Given there are Israelis and Jewish people who do not support what they see happening it is good to identify all  sources that may condone such activity. Otherwise we once again categorize another entire group as evil and in need of being eradicated, which is what I often see in blogs and comments in newspapers other than this one. 
Like you I’m also horrified that this is played out on innocent children in particular.

Thanks Ornot, thoughtful comments and good insights for me to work with too. I think I’m going to look into genocide some more now, although it is not such a pleasant subject, nor unique to the West.
 
I read something years ago when members of the US administration were constantly pointing the finger at China over Xinjiang for what they claimed was genocide of the Uyghur people. What I found in history was that the original Mongolian people in the current Xinjiang region which was then called the Dzungar Khanate were the subjects of genocide themselves in the mid 18th Century by the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty emperors. Ironically this provided protection to the Tibetan Buddhists after the event, and the Qing rulers invited the descendants of today’s Uyghur people into the region to settle. 
When George W. Bush was in power after 9/11 he lauded the Chinese for fighting against Uygur terrorism on their Western borders, but later with separate administrations that view disappeared in the haste to find something to negatively pin on China.

“Honestly I don’t think you know very much about the United States.”
It’s why I am asking questions, I am not American, although there is some history in Australia that also parallels the decimation of a former group of people. 
 
“For starters, it is a big country”: 
 
And your view is already challenged by other Americans who see it differently.

I think everyone has their personal history with other people that comment on here.  It may not be the same experience for everyone whoever it may be.  Everyone has a different point of view and is entitled to it, although I will admit that sometimes people are trolls or sock puppets that are not sincere in their authenticity or motives for writing stuff here.
 
The main thing in my opinion is that people try to show some respect for each other’ s points of view and also try to abstain from being abusive, using diatribe and ad hominem with others. I don’t care if people use ad hominem with public figures we discuss, since some leaders may not be worth showing much respect for their corrupt actions.
 
It seems to me however, that if we cannot get on here and instead act with short-fused aggression and viteruptive behaviour,  then we are in a smaller way, not that different to the people we complain about that cause the confrontation that even leads to warfare.
I don’t claim to be perfect in any way with such behaviour either, I just prefer it when people (including myself) make an effort to understand each other and get along. The current world is already divided enough as it is.
