Burning down the house:

Anti-Netanyahu Israelis set fire to his party’s, Likud’s, HQ.  They are furious at 600 days without bringing the captives home and the captives are dying.

This does not mean they are anti-zionist.  It only means they are anti-Netanyahu.

If past atrocities had taught us anything, it’s that the problem is never just “the leader”.
Look at those who follow him.
The hands that clap.
The mouths that incite.
The bodies that obey.
And above all, those who could stop it—and choose silence instead. https://t.co/LdHnjTYbFg

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini told reporters at the Japan National Press Club in Tokyo that Israel’s model for providing aid to Gaza was wasteful and a

“distraction from atrocities”,

criticizing chaotic distribution mechanism by the US-backed foundation this week. “The model of aid distribution proposed by Israel does not align with core humanitarian principles. We have seen yesterday the shocking images of hungry people pushing against fences, desperate for food. It was chaotic, undignified and unsafe,” Lazzarini said. “I believe it is a waste of resources and a distraction from atrocities,” he added, referring to civilian deaths during Israel’s air and ground war in the small coastal enclave.”

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich openly declares:
The population will be provided with only a minimum [of humanitarian aid], just so that the world does not stop us. Gaza will be completely destroyed because it is a completely terrorist

There are duelling narratives on the end to the Gaza killings:

🔴 Hamas says it is working to end the war in Gaza and has reached a framework deal with US envoy Steve Witkoff.

🔴 The proposed agreement includes a permanent ceasefire, Israeli forces’ withdrawal, humanitarian aid, and a committee to manage the affairs of Gaza.

🔴 The deal also involves releasing ten Israeli captives and several bodies in return for an agreed number of Palestinian abductees, with mediators ensuring the terms are upheld.

In a scene that reveals the depth of the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza, Israeli companies operating under an American cover arrived in the Strip, pretending to be aid organizations. They established a site under the name of a “relief point,” recruiting foreign staff to give the scene an international and humanitarian appearance.

But the truth did not take long to appear. As soon as the opening of the point was announced, thousands of exhausted and starving Gazans flooded the place in what resembled a human explosion. The hungry could no longer wait or organize themselves—the pain had surpassed all limits—so they surged collectively toward the site, searching for a piece of bread to satisfy their hunger or medicine to ease their suffering.

Within moments, the fabricated scene collapsed, and the foreign staff fled, leaving the site abandoned, unable to stand before the shocking reality: Gaza is starving, and the dignity of its people groans under the weight of the siege.

The problem was not the crowd, but the depth of the wound, the exploitation of hunger for hidden agendas, and the attempt to falsify humanity amid a continuous catastrophe.

Other reports include that the supposed aid distributors(with weapons) started firing, thakfully not into the crowd, into the air.

Still later, reports are that Israeli forces opened fire at one of the aid sites, injuring several civilians. This, they said, is further proof that Israel’s talk of “humanitarian coordination” is nothing more than propaganda, and that it has entirely failed to manage the very crisis it created.

CEO of US-Israeli aid scheme announces resignation, citing ethical concerns
—
Jake Wood has resigned as Executive Director of the US-backed Israeli aid scheme, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), citing the impossibility of delivering aid independently without breaching core humanitarian principles. In a statement shared by CNN, he expressed heartbreak over Gaza’s hunger crisis and said GHF could not operate with humanity, neutrality, and independence under current conditions. He called on Israel to expand aid access and urged all parties to pursue new, non-discriminatory delivery methods.

Haaretz published the results of a poll conducted by a researcher for Penn State University on March 2024. The poll targeted 1,005 Jewish Israeli respondents. It found that 82% support expelling all Palestinians from Gaza, while 56% support expelling Palestinians from occupied territories, compared to 2003: 45% and 31%, respectively.

The poll found that according to Biblical Justifications for Violence, 47% support acting like biblical Israelites in Jericho (i.e., total annihilation), 65% believe Amalek exists today, of those, 93% think the command to “erase Amalek” still applies.

-Secular Israelis’ views:

*69% support Gaza expulsions
*31% support Jericho-style violence.

-Youth Support for Extremism:

*66% of Jewish Israelis under 40 support expelling Palestinian citizens
*58% support biblical-style conquest
*Only 9% of men under 40 oppose all expulsion/genocide narratives.

The number of Palestinian martyrs has risen to 150 in the past 24 hours, with over 200 others injured amid relentless Israeli airstrikes across Gaza.

Reports are in that 100 trucks of aid entered Gaza. The number of trucks quoted to deal with the starvation and supply fuel, is 500.  But other reports from The United Nations says no supplies have reached Palestinians despite Israeli claims that aid trucks were allowed into the Gaza Strip. This misinformation is deliberate since the Trump team took over the aid function in Gaza.

There is a change in reporting mainly out of the UK on Gaza. This has been visible for a few days and they are beginning to condemn the slaughter. “We have suspended negotiations with this Israeli government on a new free trade agreement,” British Foreign Secretary David Lammy told the Parliament. The United Kingdom will allocate 4 million pounds ($5.3 million) for humanitarian aid for residents of the Gaza Strip, the UK Foreign Office says.  Behind that may be an eventual shift to support Trump’s Gaza-O-Lago or it may be that the civil action against Genocide has now reached such proportions that it is shifting leadership utterings. Piers Morgan blasts Israel, says he reached ‘common ground’ with Mehdi Hasan on Gaza. He now uses the word Genocide word, and has stopped asking his guests to condemn Hamas.

It may be a media false flag, sustaining tension, to keep the messages from all sides alive. It may be an increase in messaging to support eventual intervention under a pretext of something like Responsibility to Protect. It is not clear yet.

On Wednesday evening, two Israeli embassy employees were shot dead in front of the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. According to witnesses, the attacker shouted “Free Palestine” before opening fire.

Despite these changes, the massacre continues unabated.

‘The enemy is NOT Hamas… EVERY CHILD in Gaza IS the ENEMY’ – Former Israeli MK Moshe Feiglin

These are the canned responses from the Israelis to one of their own – How they Justify that supporting wound, the stain that they placed on the Conscience of Humanity!

Left-wing party leader Yair Golan sparked outrage this morning when in the midst of his latest tirade against the Netanyahu government he claimed that Israeli soldiers were “killing babies as a hobby.”

Quote from his speech:

A sane country does not wage war against civilians, does not kill infants for fun, and does not make population expulsion its goal. These actions are truly shocking, and we cannot accept that we — members of the J3wish nation who have throughout history suffered persecution, abuse, and genocide, and who are supposed to be a standard of human and Jewish morality — are now doing things that are truly unacceptable.”  Yes, unacceptable and despicable!

The heads of other opposition parties quickly condemned Golan.

Naftali Bennett: “Hamas and only Hamas murders babies. While Hamas uses civilians as a shield and wants them to die, our soldiers operate with courage and morals.”

Yair Lapid: “Our soldiers are heroes. Claiming that they kill babies as a hobby is false and only serves our enemies.”

Avigdor Liberman: “I condemn Yair Golan’s remarks. The IDF is the most moral army in the world. Such claims harm our soldiers and the security of the state.”

Benny Gantz: “I urge Yair Golan to retract his extreme and false charge and apologize to the IDF.”

The UK, France and Canada at last spoke out, FWIW.  They condemned the Netanyahu government’s “egregious actions,” demanding an end to the renewed military offensive (Gideon’s Chariots) and that restrictions on humanitarian aid be lifted, warning of concrete actions in response if it fails to do so.

Slithering quickly out of his corner, Netanyahu hit back and equal to calling the holocaust, called October 7 (which is the same as calling Hamas).  “The leaders in London, Ottawa and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7 while inviting more such atrocities,” and reiterated that he will now take control of all of Gaza.  His words:   ‘despicable antisemitic blood libels’.

Let’s get one thing clear about Hamas: ‘Israelis have demolished more than 3,000 houses in Jenin, doing the same in Tulkarem without there being Hamas [in the West Bank].’  Alastair Crooke’s video with The Judge is titled:  Israel is in moral meltdown and it is noticeable.  It is taking a long time, and Gaza is a supporating wound for sane humanity but there are pressures on Israel now that may just make a difference.

We keep looking for the small mercies.

U.S. Carrier Strike Group Truman Leaves Yemeni Waters After Truce with Ansar Allah

The 8th U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group Harry S. Truman has departed the waters off Yemen, transited the Suez Canal, and is now sailing through the Ionian Sea.

The group exited the Gulf of Aden following a ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Ansar Allah, after it became clear that continued airstrikes were ineffective. The decision came after the U.S. lost three F/A-18 fighter jets and numerous MQ-9 “Reaper” drones during operations in the region.

Gaza Aid Distribution Militarized

Today in Israel, members of the American private firm responsible for Gaza aid logistics appeared at media briefings wearing body armor and carrying firearms.

The firms involved are Safe Reach Solutions and UG Solutions. UG Solutions, founded in 2023 by ex-Special Forces soldier Jameson Govoni, has no public track record but secured a high-profile contract to manage critical checkpoints in Gaza. They recruited nearly 100 ex-special forces operators, offering $1,100/day in compensation, a $10,000 advance, and equipment including M4 rifles and Glock pistols.

Safe Reach Solutions, established in Wyoming, is led by Philip Raleigh, former head of the CIA’s Centre for Special Activities. The company has been tasked with securing checkpoints and inspecting vehicles heading into northern Gaza, in cooperation with UG Solutions.

These firms are collaborating with the newly established Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), backed by the U.S. and Israel. GHF aims to manage aid distribution through secure hubs in Gaza, staffed by private security contractors.

With complete impunity Israel believes that it has absolution for its crimes on earth and possibly in the afterlife as well. Qatar is a mediator between Israel and Hamas. We can debate on how effective they are but they at least made statements. Israel is now attacking the mediators and legislating who they will accept as mediator. This is against the background of unbelievable and indescribable horror and terror by Gideon’s Chariots in Gaza in the past 24 hours.

Israel’s Ministerial Committee for Legislation advanced a bill on Sunday that, if legislated, would bar Qatar and other countries labeled as “supporters of terrorism” from mediating negotiations between Israel and other parties, Israeli daily Haaretz reports.

Let us keep this in mind: Said in joy a few days ago: “Tonight we killed nearly 100 people from Gaza, and no one cares.” (From this point onwards Operation Gideon’s Chariots increased the kill rate of men, women, children and babies).

In a blatant statement dehumanizing Palestinians, far-right Israeli MK Zvi Sukkot said that the world has become desensitized to mass Israeli killings in Gaza, boasting that Israel killed more than 100 Palestinians in a single night. https://t.me/ChroniclesWorldOrderZ/3971

Israel is allowing some aid into Gaza yet rejoicing on how little they will allow. “We will allow only the minimum amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza”. At the last UN Security council meeting, those senior aid workers who testified reminded the members that this aid is donated by the world and Israel in reality should have no say or control on who receives it and who not. It was not given to Israel, but to Gaza.

After the US and allies pressured Netanyahu on Gaza aid, Israel today allowed only 30 aid trucks to enter the Gaza Strip, after the enclave reached a five-stage famine level as reported by the UN.

The limited number of trucks is not sufficient to feed the entire population of Gaza for even a day. UNRWA said the enclave needs at least 600 aid trucks daily to meet people’s basic needs.

Sometimes we must know and it must be made real!

In the previous hours we saw how the last hospital (Indonesian Hospital) in the North of Gaza was attacked, with patients and health care staff inside. It was directly and with impunity shot up and then bulldozers started tearing down walls while the hospital remained besieged. Family fled and ran with wounded and sick still on their hospital beds while the injured bled out whereever they were, without medical help.

The only remaining hospital in the Southern Gaza Strip was also hit. The Palestinian Red Crescent reports:

▪️The occupation forces targeted the vicinity of Nasser Hospital, the only remaining hospital in the southern Gaza Strip.

▪️Residents are sleeping in the streets of Khan Yunis due to Israeli evacuation orders.

▪️We are operating at a third of our operational capacity due to the blocking and targeting of our vehicles.

▪️75% of Civil Defense vehicles are out of service due to fuel shortages and a lack of spare parts.

▪️There are no longer any safe places in the Gaza Strip, and the indiscriminate shelling continues.

In the mean time, those spittle flecked young settlers are continuing to build new outposts. https://t.me/Eyeonpalestine2/13310
