After 2 years of US-backed Zionist killing, Gaza deaths from violence, 174,000 and from imposed deprivation, 698,000, total 872,000.

To repeat: those individuals and entities supporting the ongoing genocide can have their assets seized many decade later to pay for damages caused. Even long after they have passed on, their estates can be seized. War Crimes have no statute of limitations.

Highly recommended. A solid compilation of regional strategies, highlighting (publicly) unspoken machinations driving the agreement-incapable Israel / US hegemonic scheming. 
Unidentified sources continue to assert most Arab regional players, led by Saudi Arabia, are prepared to accept a future of hegemonic “normalization” in exchange for American security guarantees, but this concept has been purported by anonymous sources for a full two years now.

Ayman Hanideq | Journalist

“(1) The most important points that came out in the meeting of the head of the Hamas movement in Gaza, the Mujahid brother Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, in the “Al-Muqabala” program on Al Jazeera TV this evening, Sunday:

⭕Al-Hayya: We salute our Palestinian people who have been patient and steadfast on their land, setting an example of sacrifice and redemption in the face of the most brutal forces of injustice, tyranny and murder.

⭕Al-Hayya: The occupation wanted to displace our people and end the Palestinian cause, but our people’s steadfastness and valiant resistance thwarted the Zionist enemy’s plans. The Al-Aqsa Intifada and the aftermath of October 7 were a prelude to our Palestinian people attaining their rights.

⭕Al-Hayya: The occupation has failed to achieve its goals, and I don’t believe it has the motivation to return to war. It has not achieved any of its goals over the past two years, despite the steadfastness of our people and the enormous sacrifices they have made.

⭕Al-Hayya: Gaza has lost more than 10% of its population between martyrs, wounded, prisoners, and missing persons. This is a very difficult statistic.

⭕Al-Hayya: We have the great and sufficient will on our part to prevent the war from returning, and we will not give the occupation any pretext for the return of war.

⭕Al-Hayya: The international community, both popular and official, will not allow the occupation to return to war, but it may create obstacles here and there to obstruct reconstruction, hinder the entry of aid, and prevent the opening of the crossing, using flimsy, unfounded pretexts.

(2) The most important points that came in the meeting of the head of the Hamas movement in Gaza, the Mujahid brother Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, in the interview program on Al Jazeera Channel this evening, Sunday:

⭕Al-Hayya: We handed over 20 prisoners from the occupation forces, both active and reserve, 72 hours after the ceasefire began, and we adhered to that.

⭕Al-Hayya: There are problems in searching for the bodies of the occupation’s prisoners, because the Israeli occupation has changed the nature of the Gaza Strip, and even some of those who buried these bodies have been martyred, or no longer know where they were buried. Despite all of this, to date, 17 bodies have been handed over to the Israeli occupation out of 28 bodies, and 13 bodies remain from the list submitted by the occupation.

⭕Al-Hayya: Our brothers in the resistance and the Al-Qassam Brigades are serious about searching day and night, and everyone can attest to this seriousness. There is an operations room in Cairo that houses mediators and a team from the occupation, and we are on the other side, present in a special room, following up on the situation as it happens.

⭕Al-Hayya: There was an agreement for equipment to enter from the Egyptian side, and for search locations to be identified, and this was done. Two days ago, new locations were identified to search for bodies, and I believe that entry into these areas, some of which are located within the red zone where the occupation is present, will take place tomorrow, under the auspices of the Red Cross.

⭕Al-Hayya: There is seriousness and a decision from us and the resistance that we will not keep any of these bodies. We will search with all seriousness and responsibility, and the occupation must not use this flimsy pretext to continue inflicting pain on our Palestinian people.

(3) The most important points that came in the meeting of the head of the Hamas movement in Gaza, the Mujahid brother Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, in the Al-Muqabala program on Al Jazeera Channel this evening, Sunday:

⭕Al-Hayya: There are national issues that are not solely owned by Hamas, but rather owned by all national factions. We have conducted numerous meetings with various factions, including the Fatah movement.

⭕Al-Hayya: What we agreed upon with the Palestinian factions is almost the same issues we agreed upon with the Fatah movement, as we clearly agreed on what was issued in our statement, the first order of which was the administrative committee that the mediating brothers are seeking to form to take over the responsibility of managing Gaza. We agreed to the group of names that the Egyptian brothers presented to us, and we told them that we give you the freedom to choose from among our people the competent ones to manage the Gaza Strip, and we are ready to hand over the reins of management completely, and we agreed to that.

⭕Al-Hayya: We gave our Egyptian brothers a list of more than 40 names of public figures with no political affiliations nearly four months ago. We told them to choose whomever they wished, and there would be a civilian police force under the administrative committee in the Gaza Strip.

⭕Al-Hayya: The committee will administer the entire Gaza Strip on all issues, and we will hand over all the reins of administration in Gaza. The committee will manage everything and have full powers. There is a complete administrative apparatus running the Gaza Strip, and the next committee will be the address for the Gaza Strip to administer this apparatus.

⭕Al-Hayya: We agreed on the UN forces that will come to separate and monitor the ceasefire. We said in a statement that the forces’ mission is to separate, secure the borders, and monitor the ceasefire so that it is not violated by any party.

⭕Al-Hayya: We welcome Arab and Islamic groups to be part of the UN forces. Their primary mission is to maintain and monitor the ceasefire and secure the borders. They have no role inside the Gaza Strip.

⭕Al-Hayya: We agreed with all the factions that the international body whose mission will be reconstruction will be to raise funds for reconstruction and supervise reconstruction, and we want to expedite this.

⭕Al-Hayya: We want the ceasefire to continue, aid to flow, and reconstruction to begin immediately. We call on the international community and our mediating brothers to expedite the process and begin reconstruction immediately.”

“(4) The most important points that came in the meeting of the head of the Hamas movement in Gaza, the Mujahid brother Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, in the Al-Muqabala program on Al Jazeera Channel this evening, Sunday:

⭕Al-Hayya: We affirm that Gaza and the West Bank are a single national unit, and we do not accept the separation of Gaza from the West Bank. The original purpose is for the Administrative Committee’s term to end either with Palestinian elections or with the formation of an approved Palestinian government.

⭕Al-Hayya: The Israeli Zionist position does not want the Palestinians in general, and if the world remains subservient to Israeli demands, there will be no stability in the region.

⭕Al-Hayya: After the occupation’s failure to achieve its goals in Gaza, and the international popular and official stance, the US administration and President Trump were convinced that the war must end. The US administration gave Netanyahu every opportunity and opportunity to achieve what he wanted, but he was unable to do so.

⭕Al-Hayya: When the US president pledged to end the war, the US administration could no longer be persuaded by Netanyahu’s lies and tricks.

⭕Al-Hayya: I had a short meeting with Butkov and Kushner, and before that, a long meeting with Boehler a few months ago. We discussed in the meeting that we, as Palestinians, advocate for stability, are seeking our stolen rights, and that we want to live like the peoples of the world in a Palestinian entity, in a Palestinian state. We have no problem except with those who occupied our land and expelled us from it.

⭕Al-Hayya: We said we want a Palestinian state in accordance with international law and resolutions enacted by the world so that the region can be stable. We are not fans of war and bloodshed. The ones who pay the price for this bloodshed are us and our children.

⭕Al-Hayya: They were surprised to find that they had met a group of university professors, engineers, and doctors, and that we were not what they say about us or what they accuse us of doing things we do not accept. We told them, in brief, what we wanted.

⭕Al-Hayya: They conveyed to us President Trump’s assurances that the war is over, that the president is concerned about this matter, that Gaza must be stabilized, its people must live there, and that reconstruction must begin.

⭕Al-Hayya: We told them that President Trump is the only one capable of stopping the war at this stage, and we demand that he rein in the Israeli occupation.

(5) The most important points that came in the meeting of the head of the Hamas movement in Gaza, the Mujahid brother Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, in the interview program on Al Jazeera Channel this evening, Sunday:

⭕Al-Hayya: The Doha event and the disastrous failure it caused for the Israeli occupation. This unprecedented failure, the greatest failure in the history of the Zionist occupation, led to a setback for the Zionist entity and an international revolution.

⭕Al-Hayya: It is unreasonable for us to receive an American proposal from the Qatari Prime Minister in the afternoon, and then receive the full proposal, amended, at nine o’clock at night, and then the occupation bombards us the following afternoon, knowing that we will discuss this proposal.

⭕Al-Hayya: All these factors ultimately made the Doha incident an indicator and a turning point for the end of the war.

⭕Al-Hayya: We are a people under occupation, and we have the right under international law to confront the occupation. The weapons we carry, along with those of all factions, are linked to the existence of the occupation and aggression. If this occupation ends and a Palestinian state is established for us, these weapons and their bearers will become the state.

⭕Al-Hayya: There is a serious national debate and dialogue on this issue and others, to search for solutions and approaches that do not deny Palestinians their internationally guaranteed rights and protect the ceasefire. We are prepared to abide by the ceasefire as agreed upon.

⭕Al-Hayya: With the presence of UN forces and an authority administering the Gaza Strip, the Strip will be safe and secure, and there will be no exchange of war or gunfire as long as the occupation adheres to that.

⭕Al-Hayya: The agreement is still in its early stages, and we are still talking about bodies, the entry of aid, and shelter. Our people are still displaced, and we are at the beginning of the road. What we want now is to provide aid and shelter to our people, to maintain the ceasefire and prevent any return to it, and to begin reconstruction. These matters will be encouraging and affirming for our people.

(6) The most important points that came in the meeting of the head of the Hamas movement in Gaza, the Mujahid brother Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, in the Al-Muqabala program on Al Jazeera Channel this evening, Sunday:

⭕Al-Hayya: The prisoners’ issue is a national issue par excellence. We were striving and hoping that the suffering of all prisoners would end and that they would be released in this deal, but circumstances prevented that. However, the issue of prisoners and their release will remain on the Palestinian leadership’s negotiating table.

⭕Al-Hayya: The Israeli occupation has vetoed a long list of prominent figures in the prisoner movement, including Marwan Barghouti, Ahmed Saadat, Abbas al-Sayyed, Hassan Salameh, and other heroes and icons of the prisoner movement.

⭕Al-Hayya: The occupation’s commitment to the agreement requires it to allow all goods into the Gaza Strip. According to the agreement, no less than 600 trucks must enter daily, as per the January agreement. Gaza needs 6,000 daily, not 600.

⭕Al-Hayya: We call on our mediating brothers to allow all goods into the Gaza Strip without restrictions. Today, the occupation is using the bodies as a pretext to obstruct aid and the reopening of the crossing, all of which violates the agreement.

⭕Al-Hayya: October 7th was a natural consequence of all the behavior of the occupation that has been occupying our land for 77 years, refusing to grant us our most basic legitimate rights. The occupation says there is no Palestinian people, Judaizes Jerusalem, places sacrifices, imposes a law to divide Al-Aqsa Mosque, and kills Gaza for 19 years under siege. The occupation was preparing a security attack targeting all the leaders of the Palestinian people and their resistance in the Gaza Strip.

⭕Al-Hayya: The Al-Aqsa Flood, despite the martyrs, wounded, prisoners, and destruction of homes and property our people have sacrificed, has taken the Palestinian cause to a new level and exposed the falsehood of the Zionist entity, which has embellished itself for decades as a criminal, Nazi, Zionist, murderous entity that does not believe in human rights.

⭕Al-Hayya: There is a cognitive and emotional revolution in the world against the Zionist entity, and this required great effort, but the flood achieved it. We do not want to stop here. Rather, we want him to be tried for his crimes, and for the world to hasten the establishment of a Palestinian state and the return of refugees. Then the world and the Palestinians will realize that the victims and sorrows were not in vain, but rather had an impact.

⭕Al-Hayya: The West Bank is under the control of settlements, annexation, and erosion, and our people are paying a heavy price. The only way to confront the occupation is to resist it.

⭕Al-Hayya: We do not want our people to continue suffering. Rather, we want them to be stable and secure, and to live in a state where we are all safe. Nothing can stop the peoples’ advance, despite the pain, as they demand their rights. We in Gaza and the West Bank, as a resistance, have offered the most precious things we have: our sons and our leaders.”

Ornot 31 – all reasonable demands……………19 years of continuous siege of Gaza – the port closed, the airport closed, food and medical and fresh water supplies still denied to the starving populace.
Where is the ‘substantial progress’ Kushner Waykoff speak about ?  Only 100 trucks per entering Gaza, when over 1000 are need at minimum.
Israel has never obeyed a ceasefire in 77 years, and there is no evidence that they are doing so now.

“The Palestinian National Liberation Movement, Fatah, denied the statements or positions attributed to it regarding its approval of the presidency of the Administrative Committee in the Gaza Strip, as reported by the Palestinian News Agency, WAFA.

In a statement issued by its official spokesman, Abdel Fattah Doleh, on Sunday, the movement affirmed that its firm and declared position is that whoever assumes the presidency of this committee must be a minister from the Palestinian National Authority government, as it is the legitimate body responsible for managing the affairs of our people in the homeland…”

@34 tobias

Yes, I thought it might be too long to post, but it gives such a clear summary at this point in time that felt I should.

Given “Israel” has a main position in setting the pace of conflict/aggression…keeping agreements doesn’t really come into it except when it suits, and preferably just the opponent doing so. Meaning …I don’t know what goes on next, but I expect “Israel” to keep up pressure on different fronts and resort to lower levels of infraction, i.e. just keeping everything difficult, raids and assassinations, while trying to shape political direction.

The discussions for governance will be weeks or more, will possibly see an eventual standoff of local vs. US orientated, keeping arms vs disarming.

I don’t know where that goes, but I think we can expect attempts by “Israel” to derail or eliminate opposition to US plan.

After they have killed 6 million Muslims down the Trump Golden Toilet, is Trump going to call it quits with the Holocaust?
Of course not. The logic of Nazism is to kill the whole human species. The US rebuilt Nazism in Israel and Ukraine for this exact purpose. The works of Kushner and Golden Bowl want to consume the whole of Asia up to the Pacific Ocean.
 
Only then  will US Nazis close the lid on Golden Bowl. Flush,  burp. When everything that isn’t them has been deleted. Where will they go to then?

Hamas Negotiator: “Our Weapons Are Tied to the Occupation”
 
Hamas lead negotiator Dr. Khalil al-Hayya said the question of weapons remains under discussion among all Palestinian factions, calling it “a national issue, not a decision for one faction alone.” He emphasized that “our weapons are tied to the existence of the occupation and its aggression,” and will remain “silent and unused” so long as the ceasefire holds. If a Palestinian state is established, he said, “these weapons will naturally belong to that state.” Al-Hayya added that the truce could last five to seven years or longer, during which Gaza would be stabilized under UN supervision and under a unified Palestinian authority. Hamas has previously explained that it aims to resolve its conflict with Israel within this extended truce and reach a lasting peace. “What we need now,” he concluded, “is relief, stability, and reconstruction — while the more complex issues are resolved through continued national dialogue.”

Exclusive: Australian government’s full talking points on Gaza accidentally sent to Palestinian advocacy group
Government notes reveal they won’t back Gaza hospital proposed by Dr Mohammed Mustafa

Alex McKinnon   Oct 27, 2025

 

The federal government’s talking points on Israel-Palestine were mistakenly shared with the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, disclosing its opposition to a proposed children’s hospital in Gaza championed by prominent humanitarian, Dr Mohammed Mustafa.

 

The talking points – prepared for Labor MPs to respond to constituent emails on the issue and obtained by Deepcut – were sent to APAN in error by a staffer last week and are published in full below.

 

They include justifications for Australia’s continued export of F-35 fighter jet parts for Israel’s use in the Gaza genocide; responses to demands for Australia to sanction the Israeli government; and lines on why the government does not refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.

 
“Labor’s talking points, which were inadvertently emailed to us, are significant for what’s not there: a commitment to sanction Israel for their genocide in Gaza,” Katie Shammas, APAN’s Executive Officer, told Deepcut.
“The mistake by a junior staffer who pressed ‘send’ at the wrong time isn’t really the issue. The issue is that these talking points show that Labor has a position which is inconsistent with their legal obligations under the UN Genocide Convention,” she added.
 
David Shoebridge, the Greens foreign affairs spokesperson, said the talking points revealed the government’s strategy of “hiding their own complicity in a genocide”.
 
“Labor says ‘genocide’ in internal documents but won’t say it in public or in Parliament,” Shoebridge said.
 
“Again and again this Government tries to treat genocide as a messaging problem rather than a fundamental matter of human decency and international law.”

Gaza’s wounds shake a NC surgeon who went to help: ‘It’s mostly the children’ | Opinion
By Ned Barnett
May 19, 2024 4:00 AM
 

Dr. Mark Perlmutter, a Rocky Mount orthopedic surgeon, is home from his recent medical mission to Gaza, but when he sleeps nightmares take him back.
 
“It’s much worse than I expected,” he told me. “A thousand times worse than what I expected.
 
” Perlmutter, 68, is a past president of the International College of Surgeons and current president of the World Surgical Foundation. He has gone on medical missions in the U.S., South and Central America and the Caribbean islands during his 36 years as a doctor, but nowhere like Gaza. That mission was sponsored by the Palestinian American Medical Association in collaboration with the World Health Organization.
 
“If you combine Ground Zero and you combine Katrina and what I saw on four trips to Haiti, combine to it all the carnage I saw from ugly accidents in all the countries I’ve ever been to, all that combined isn’t equal to what I saw in Gaza in the first week — just the first week — it doesn’t come close, not even close,” he said.

“The media has taken the bait and somehow garnered empathy for Hamas… reasoning with their excuses” — Israeli government spokesperson attacks international media for questioning Israel’s claim that Hamas knows the locations of deceased Israeli captives in Gaza.
 
She announced that Netanyahu had approved the entry of an Egyptian technical team “using two to three excavators and trucks” to search for bodies beyond the IDF’s Yellow Line in Gaza, alongside the Red Cross. She noted that the move followed Netanyahu’s meeting with Egypt’s intelligence chief in Jerusalem.
 
No evidence was provided to back her accusations against either Hamas or the press.

New: The Israeli army has been dumping massive quantities of garbage, construction debris, and other waste hundreds of meters inside Gaza, Haaretz reports.
 
Footage verified by the outlet shows Israeli trucks crossing the border at Kissufim, unloading waste along Gaza roads some 200–300 meters inside the Strip, then returning empty.
 
The waste comes from IDF bases, staging areas, and construction work along the border — where Israel built fences, roads, and barriers during the invasion. Officers told Haaretz that field commanders let private Israeli private contractors “dump wherever they saw fit.”
 
One soldier said, “We’ll have mountains of garbage… right in front of our homes for the rest of our lives, inside Gaza.” Another officer said it “disgraceful,” but only because Hamas could reuse the materials. The Israeli army claims it’s unaware of…

I do remember Jon Elmer’s video contributions on the Electronic Intifada. His summation that these in-house Palestinian weaponry are showin no sign of running out of materiel. In fact, the Coalition of Palestinian Resistance of over a dozen groups said they derive almost all of their supplies needed to make weaponry by the Israeli’s own ordinance. The last reported number of supply being gleamed, like unbroken enemy arrows shot on the battlefield being cleaned up and shot back, was in the in the decades of weaponry reusable materiel.
 
 
How can “disarmament” be a realistic discussion from such over-zealous deluging of the battleground with ordinance? It’s literally dangerous to move, it is so peppered with remains and duds, e.g. IDF blowing up its own bulldozer from unexploded ordinance and then blaming everyone else but themselves. It is a pathological Catch-22 that should be laughed at outright. Like dropping  petal mines and mining a field and then saying make it safe again — zero accountability for one’s own actions insanity.

From: A Tale of Two Ceasefires – Gaza and DRC
The US has negotiated ceasefires in Gaza and the DRC’s eastern Kivu Provinces, but the killing, displacement, and devastation in both continue. 
 
The ceasefire (Gaza) was obviously never more than a colonial plan, designed to enable Israel to have full and complete control over the Gaza Strip and continue with its plan to colonize as much of it as possible.
 
 
The Arab states appear to have pressured Hamas to accept this deal. There may have been hope that something better could be negotiated once the bombing stopped, but it hasn’t stopped and ultimately Israel is still trying to crush any hope of Palestinian liberation or even the most limited form of Palestinian statehood. 
 
 
Muhannad Ayyash, author of Lordship and Liberation in Israel-Palestine, speaking on KPFA Radio-Berkeley, said, “The plan itself is a battlefield where Israel will continue to try to use it to advance its colonial ambitions, and the Americans are going to try to use it to advance their imperial ambitions, and the Arab states are going to try to use it to advance their ambitions for sort of working with the US and and finding their stable place within the US imperial infrastructure in the region, so that they can continue to make money. And the Palestinian people at this moment are just viewing it as a place where they can breathe a little bit. Get a break from being killed every day. Get a break from being hungry every day. Get a break from being cold as the winter sets in and so on and so forth. All of these different sides have their agendas, and unfortunately, none of the agendas are really about the aspirations of the Palestinian people for a free, dignified and liberated life.”

This is a very good explanation of  how Israel uses a form of the “game” Go, as a system to advance it’s territorial aspirations. Source; Al-Jazeera.. You will need 14 minutes. on X.

“While the world talks of a Palestinian state, Israel is playing a different game to surround, slice up and claim the occupied West Bank. Piece by piece, Israel is playing out strategies first perfected in ancient China. For Pinch Point, Al Jazeera’s Mohamed Hassan explains”

Go is the act of limiting the possibilities for manoeuvre of the opposing forces. Here it is the progressive use of checkpoints, walls, “laws only applicable to one side”, colonies and “settlements”.- etc.
 
At the end, he asks “how” does a game of Go end? The two solutions he gives are; A judge counts the points and declares one side a winner, OR They shake hands and leave the game. One of the final points he made is that recently Israel has not beeen playing according to the “rules” of the game (No longer UN, or other International “overseers” as Judges).
 
I  agree, but I also think that what is happeneing is that Zionism is “cheating” by increasing the “board size” (the “terrain” of Palestine) to include Lebanon, Syria, and other countries of the Middle East. By using moves “on the ground” in both countries, by bombs, by not following the proclaimed “ceasefires”. (which ones are followed?), by creating routes that inhibit free movement across them, such as David’s corridor (Syria and SA to Iraq.), by the use of Cyprus as staging point and newly “occupied” territory, which are all to constrain the Eastern Med.
…And must include Iran, Qatar and the Emirates, and Egypt. (The latter is among the proposal that the “Arabic” countries should “police Gaza”, and therefore become active servants of the Zionists – ie to “protect” the land they have stolen.)

Yes he, and his government and much of the opposition are corrupt as they come – and the youth were right to rise, but the NED were involved – in what must have been a fairly straight forward regime change by the Yanks. “Madagascar’s newly installed military government says it has revoked the citizenship of former President Andry Rajoelina, effectively barring the ousted leader from contesting future elections.The Indian Ocean nation’s new prime minister, Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo, announced the decision in a decree issued on Friday. He cited a law dating back to 1960, when the country gained independence from France, which strips Malagasy citizens of their nationality if they have citizenship of another country.Rajoelina has long faced criticism over his dual nationality, which fueled political and legal disputes well before his overthrow just over a week ago. During the 2023 elections, opponents sought to disqualify him after it emerged he had acquired French citizenship in 2014.”

So it was indeed another murder- by a Zio-Monster on of hundreds of thousands in Gaza.
 
“A retired American colonel, who was part of the investigation into the 2022 killing of veteran Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh at the hands of Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, says he is certain an Israeli soldier intentionally shot her.
Colonel Steve Gabavics, a 30-year veteran military police officer and former commander of Guantanamo Bay prison, told The New York Times that the Israeli soldier responsible for the fatal shot deliberately targeted Abu Akleh.
The 51-year-old prominent reporter was killed while she was covering clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinian resistance fighters in the Jenin refugee camp on May 11, 2022. She was wearing a vest marked “Press” and a helmet at the time.
She was rushed to a hospital in Jenin in critical condition, where she was declared dead shortly after, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Ali Samoudi, another Palestinian journalist for the Al Jazeera channel, was hospitalized in stable condition after being shot in the back.
The Israeli military initially blamed Palestinian fighters, but following a probe, it later acknowledged that she was very likely shot by a soldier who “misidentified” her.”

So Israel is going to allow certain selected journalists into Gaza, but only under particular circumstances.  None of the conditions will surprise anyone; what is a surprise is that any actual journalist would agree to such conditions.  The final sentence is a hoot.  And a dead give-away to the propagandistic intent of the Israelis.  [bolding mine]
 

Israel is preparing a coordinated media strategy ahead of global journalists’ arrival in Gaza, including military-escorted tours, Israeli media have reported. 
 
Ynet news reported that Israel plans field visits for journalists, supervised by the Israeli military, to present alleged evidence justifying the genocidal war on the Strip.
 
As per the report, one idea under review is the establishment of “designated sites in Gaza where journalists can be shown how Hamas operated from within civilian areas and hid behind noncombatants“.
 
Officials say that if the plan is approved, several “demonstration sites” will be created to provide clear visual explanations.

Israel Is Backing Four Anti-Hamas Militias in IDF-Controlled Gaza
 
The biggest militia is the Abu Shabab gang, which is known for looting aid trucks, and has members with ties to ISIS
 
by Dave DeCamp | October 26, 2025 at 5:51 pm ET | Gaza, Israel
 
Israel is backing four militias that plan to fight against Hamas and are currently operating under the watch of the IDF in the Israeli-controlled part of Gaza, Sky News reported on Saturday.
 
Hossam al-Astal, the leader of one of the groups based in southern Gaza, said that all four groups are part of a coordinated effort to take over Gaza. “We are all for the new Gaza. Soon, we will achieve full control of the Gaza Strip and will gather under one umbrella,” he told Sky News.
 
The term “new Gaza” has previously been used by Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, when discussing plans to allow reconstruction in Israeli-occupied Gaza and not in areas under the control of Hamas.
 
“No reconstruction funds will be going into areas that Hamas still controls,” Kushner, who has been deeply involved in the Gaza negotiations, said during a visit to Israel last week. “There are considerations happening now in the area that the IDF controls, as long as that can be secured, to start the construction as a new Gaza in order to give the Palestinians living in Gaza a place to go, a place to get jobs, a place to live.”
 
The largest group Israel is backing is a gang led by Yasser Abu Shabab, who admitted to looting aid trucks in 2024. Some members of his group, which is also based in southern Gaza, have ties to ISIS, according to Israeli media. The Sky News report said that a senior commander in the Abu Shabab gang said the group has between 500 and 700 fighters and that Israel has been allowing them to smuggle cash, weapons, and vehicles into Gaza.
 
Al-Astal said that his militia has acquired a large number of Hamas weapons from the black market in Gaza and also receives supplies, including ammunition, from abroad. He said the group also receives a weekly delivery of everyday items to support civilians living in the camp. He claimed that the militias have backing from Western states and Arab countries.
 
Al-Astal also suggested that the Palestinian Authority has been supporting the effort, though the PA has previously denied that it’s involved with the militias. “The Palestinian Authority cannot allow itself to admit to having a direct relationship with us. I have people within my group who are still, to this day, employees of the Palestinian Authority,” he said.
 
Two other militias are based in northern Gaza under the protection of the IDF. Israel has previously launched airstrikes against Hamas while they were fighting against one of the Israeli-backed militias.
 
Al-Astal told Sky News that he was previously in prison over accusations that he was involved in an assassination attempt against a Hamas official and escaped after October 7, 2023. “When the war started, they left us locked up, hoping the Israelis would bomb the prison and rid them of us,” he said. “Two months later, we broke down the doors and escaped.”

Does anyone know much about Marwan Barghouti?  Israel was supposed to release him as part of the first batch of prisoners released with this latest “ceasefire”, but changed the list at the last minute and still holds him, reportedly in solitary confinement since Oct, 2023.
 

Jailed icon Marwan Barghouti can unify Palestinians, says son
Jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti’s son has urged US President Trump to “seize the opportunity” created by the Gaza ceasefire to secure his father’s release from decades of Israeli imprisonment.
 
“He’s capable and has the track record to unify the Palestinian people,” Arab Barghouti said. “Someone like him represents a great opportunity for the international community to prove that they are serious about supporting the two-state solution.”
 
Earlier this month, Barghouti’s wife Fadwa also urged Trump to intervene. Trump said in an interview with US magazine Time on October 15 that he would be “making a decision” on the matter, without specifying a timeline.
 
Sometimes dubbed the “Nelson Mandela of Palestine” by his supporters, long-jailed Marwan Barghouti, 66, was one of the leaders of the second Intifada, and is often cited as a possible successor to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

I believe he is a threat to the Zionist collaborators in the West Bank.
 
He could be the first leader of Palestine if it were allowed statehood, which is why they are trying to keep him under wraps.
 
I don’t know how courageous, pious, or wise he is. He’s something of a folk hero, and with those, their legends grow during incarceration.
 
Sometimes, to mythic status that doesn’t resemble reality.

That’s what I was wondering about.  He’s beren imprisoned for an awfully long time and a lot of that in solitary.  It’s kind of easy to find stories about him when he was younger, but who knows what all those years have done to him?
 
I sure keep seeing his name frequently, though.  Mostly because Israel really doesn’t want him free at all.

Israel is preparing for this coming “media war” that will expose in every media what the US envoy and president son-in-law Jared Kushner described the Strip as if “it was hit by an atomic bomb”. In fact, it was hit by an equivalent of 20 atomic bombs.

I have a high standard for Palestinian leadership.
 
The list has one name on it.
 
Sinwar.
 
And he’s a martyr
 
A brave and kind man, a pious man, in many ways, he embodied the character of the Prophet PBUH, in my opinion.
 
Easy to find a ton of people who want a title and to be treated like royalty on foreign trips.
 
Not many people will cry when alone and thinking about the plight of the people.
 
How do we know the guy being released hasn’t been broken Abu Ghraib-style and put back together as a Zionist tool like Abbas?

“We are the actors, we are the directors, we are the producers of a world wide stage” -Mossad agent on 60 minutes USA not so long ago.
People who believe they saw Sinwar’s last minutes from a drone camera got to question the above sentence. Anything they release is BS. When you get that is when you know you are beating them.

NYT’s “Screams Without Words”, which tried to make the case that “Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7”, is IMO the worst piece of American journalism in the 21st century. A hoax from start to finish.   
 
Everything @gettleman wrote was based on fraud. 
 
He exploited a dead Israeli woman and her family to falsely portray her as a sexual violence victim. He used qualified language (“believe” “appear”) to lodge evidence-free allegations. He relied on discredited sources who made demonstrably false claims. He enlisted an Israeli stringer who was an open cheerleader for genocide. He exploited the sensitivities around sexual violence allegations and the inclination to believe them. All in the service of helping Israel portray Palestinians as savages who deserved to be mass murdered.   
 
In an honest media system, the NYT’s refusal to retract this fraudulent story would be a permanent scandal.

NEW: 300+ writers, scholars and public figures – including almost 150 past New York Times contributors – have committed to refusing to write for the paper’s Opinion section until our the paper 1) addresses it’s anti-Palestinian bias, 2) retracts the widely debunked investigation “Screams Without Words.” and 3) and calls for a U.S. arms embargo of Israel.   
 
The Opinion section is where the paper creates plausible deniability for its anti-Arab racism and its complicity in genocide. And while they treat the lies of the Israeli government as fact in their News section, they render the genocide debatable and relegate it to the Opinion page. But the section is nothing without the freelance contributors who write for it–and they are choosing integrity over prestige.

With their takeover of social media and the corporate media the brainwashing will not be slow and methodical but fast and furious. The USA and EU public school systems will be targeted first, sayanim everywhere. Everyone will be confused not knowing the truth from fiction
People call it a culture war, I like to call it a f’kn mind war.

Israel braces for ‘propaganda war’ as global journalists prepare to enter Gaza 
Israel is preparing a coordinated media strategy ahead of global journalists’ arrival in Gaza, including IDF-escorted tours and visual evidence to show how Hamas built terror infrastructure within civilian areas and used residents as shield.
 
In recent weeks, senior Israeli officials and security agencies have been holding intensive discussions about how to manage Gaza’s imminent reopening to the world. With international forces expected to enter the Strip to assist in locating the hostages and the bodies that Hamas claims are no longer in its possession, Israel is bracing for the arrival of foreign journalists who will, for the first time, see the destruction with their own eyes rather than through Hamas-produced footage.

History is full of curious outcomes where morsle has defeated raw power. Or as the Qur’an puts it, when the Children of Israel were called to attack the city that was dominated by Goliath  , the pious Muslims said, ‘ How many times have a small number  of pious people have defeated a much larger number of wrongdoers,’
 
This is the situation in Gaza now. Bear with me. The Soviet Union cancelled all faith, and became a deeply corrupt empire, as witnessed by the experience of brother stranger in Yugoslavia. 
 
The Russian Jews , the Bolsheviks, corrupted by that faithless society they themselves created, eventually embraced the Nazism which opposed the Soviet Empire.  Netanyahu is the product of a faithless, Jewish, collapsed Empire.
 
Putin on the other hand reconstructed Russian Communism on a model of Orthodox  Christianity opposed to the faith-free Soviet Empire, and his son, influenced by Kadyrov from Chechnya has strengthed Russia with the backbone  of the faith of Islam to which many of its citizens adhere.
 
A very strange thing has just happened in Syria, unless it is just propaganda. 
The lawless , terrorist HTS under Jolani, whom USUKIS brought in to divide Syria, just touched the finger of Kadyrov’s Islam, which  can completely shift the balance of power in  West Asia .
 
The Goliath of Nazi Soviet Revisionist Zionism is about to be defeated.
The writing is on the wall. The same wall into which the Zionist Americans squeeze their filthy prayers. As I say , bear with the Bear.

Israel to lift “special situation” in south for first time since Oct. 2023
 

JERUSALEM, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) — Israel decided on Monday to lift the “special situation” in its south for the first time since October 2023.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement that he has accepted the military’s recommendation to end the “special situation,” which will be lifted on Tuesday morning.
Katz said the move “reflects the new security reality in the south of the country that has been achieved.”

As Goethe had not written.
 
‘I am part of that force which eternally wills good and eternally works evil.
I am the spirit that negates.

Deserves to perish wretchedly;

Thus everything that your terms, sin
Destruction, evil represent –
That is my proper element.’ – Mossadtopheles

ou think Hamas killed Israelis because they’re a bunch of monsters who hate Jews? Of course you do, you’re twelve.
 
You think Trump is trying to get rid of Maduro because Maduro is an evil dictator who wants to poison Americans with fentanyl? Hell yeah homie, you’re twelve.
 
You think Putin invaded Ukraine because he hates freedom and democracy and wants to conquer the world? Bless your heart my twelve year-old buddy.
 
You think the US and Israel have been attacking and eliminating rivals in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Palestine in order to fight terrorism, stop tyranny, and protect the world from nuclear weapons? Yeah, that checks out, you’re twelve.
 
The ultimate example of “everyone is twelve now” thinking is in the mainstream worldview promoted by western pundits and politicians which holds that the world is full of evil monsters doing evil things simply because they are evil, while being opposed by the virtuous Good Guys of the US-led world order.
 
It’s like a children’s cartoon, with the Bad Guys doing Bad Things simply because they are Bad, and the Good Guys striving heroically to stop them. It sounds like a shitty PG-13 summer blockbuster starring The Rock, but it’s the consensus worldview of serious professional pundits and analysts who share this view on mainstream platforms with serious expressions on their faces, and anyone who calls any part of it into question is dismissed as an extremist or a deranged crackpot. Because everyone is twelve now.

The three core myths driving Israel’s war on Palestine
Raghid Nahhas October 28, 2025
 
Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, one of the most outspoken moral critics within Israel itself, once summarised what he called the “three core values of Israeli society”: the belief that Jews are the chosen people; that they are the world’s ultimate victims; and that Palestinians are not equal human beings.
 
While harsh, his words illuminate how the ideological framework of the Israeli state continues to justify ongoing violence and domination over the Palestinian people.
 
The current war on Gaza, marked by mass civilian deaths and destruction of infrastructure, cannot be understood without recognising these underlying myths. They have shaped Israeli policy for decades, enabling its leadership to act with impunity, to dismiss international law and to frame even the most disproportionate assaults as moral necessity.

DROP SITE
 
U.S. Secretary of State, standing beside Trump, says Israel has the right to strike Gaza even during the ceasefire.
 
He defended Israel’s weekend strike on what it claimed was a resistance fighter “planning an imminent attack” — the same logic used to justify near-daily killings in Lebanon and for the past 18 days in Gaza. “We don’t see that as a violation of the ceasefire. They have a right if there is an imminent threat to Israel, and all the mediators agree with that.”
 
Trump, who keeps insisting the war is over, said nothing.
