“Gaza and the Dangers of Jewish Paranoia”

“Although the subject is generally avoided in our politically-correct age, for many generations it has been known that different groups suffer from different social maladies, probably due to a complex mixture of innate traits and cultural factors…
European Jews have been prone to paranoia, perhaps the inevitable outcome of having spent more than a thousand years living as small, often highly-exploitative minorities among generally hostile host populations…

Benjamin Netanyahu: the Gilgul of Amalek

“Authors Note: This essay may strain the patience of those seeking quickie “bites of info.” I aspire to write for those in search of knowledge born of sustained reflection and study. For so complex a subject as the Kabbalah, anything less than providing sufficient background as stepping stones to an esoteric destination which might otherwise seriously perplex and astound, would compound the misunderstanding and misdirection which too often proliferates online.”

“…This man in the wheelchair and with the rickety earpiece – Sheikh Ahmad Yasin – was the founder of Hamas.
And what he said to me that morning has come to upend the Islamic world today.
What he said was: “Hamas is not an Islamic movement. It is a liberation movement, and anyone, be they Christian, or Buddhist – or even I – could join it. We all were welcome”.
Why was this simple formula somehow so significant and connected to today’s events?

▪️Over 100 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli bombing in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza.
▪️Scores more were killed in Israeli bombardments of other parts of the Gaza Strip, while several were killed in renewed Israeli strikes at Al-Shifa hospital.
▪️Meanwhile, four more Israeli soldiers were killed in fierce fighting as the Resistance continues to repel Israeli military advancements.
▪️GAZA’S HEALTH MINISTRY:
19,453 Palestinians have been killed and 52,286 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
During the past hours, the Israeli occupation forces committed 16 massacres.
▪️The World Health Organisation has called for an immediate ceasefire as it condemned the destruction meted out by Israeli forces at the Kamal Adwan hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.
▪️Several Prisoners from Gaza Died inside Israeli Detention Camp – Haaretz
Hundreds of Palestinians who were detained in Gaza during the ongoing Israel’s invasion of the besieged Strip have been held for weeks at a detention facility in southern Israel, where several of them have died under unclear circumstances, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Monday.
Haaretz also reported that “the Israeli army presented only 71 out of more than 500 detainees before the Israeli courts”.
▪️The Israeli army acknowledged on Monday that five of its soldiers were killed on Sunday night in battles taking place south of the Gaza Strip
▪️Israel is using starvation as a “weapon of war” in Gaza by deliberately denying access to food and water to Palestinian civilians, Human Rights Watch said on Monday.
“The Israeli government is using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in the Gaza Strip, which is a war crime,” the human rights organization said in a statement.

▪️✡️ In Israel, they proposed clearing Gaza and turning it into a museum, like in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
📝 “Send all Gazans to refugee camps in Lebanon and raze the entire sector to the ground so that it becomes an empty museum like Auschwitz,” said David Azoulay, the head of the city of Metula on northern Israel
The rapture with which in Israel they talk about the destruction of the Palestinians, as well as the terrifying analogies, suggest “unlearned lessons of history” on the part of the Jews there.
▪️❗Politico reports that the strike group is led by the aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower, which was recalled from patrols in Persian Gulf
💬What scenario awaits the Middle East if the Yankees strike Yemen?
▪️🇺🇸🇾🇪 The US and the EU may start a new war in Yemen – New Straits Times
The States may “not see the atrocities of the Zionist apartheid regime against the Palestinians” and start a new war in Yemen, writes a Malaysian newspaper .
📝 “This will create another Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria,” – the article says.
USA earlier threatened to strike Houthi targets in Yemen in response to attacks on ships sailing to Israel. So, the risk of expanding the conflict in the Middle East remains and can disappear only if the international community guarantees the residents of Gaza an independent Palestine with the 1967 borders.
▪️🇵🇸 The Pope called Israel’s actions in Gaza terrorism
According to him, the news he continues to receive from the enclave “carries pain.” The Pontiff said that unarmed civilians are becoming victims of bombings and gunfire.
He also said that the parish of the Holy Family, where there are no terrorists, came under fire, and there are only families, children, wounded, and nuns.
📝 “A woman and her daughter, Nahda Khalil Anton and Samar Kamal Anton, were killed by sniper fire, and others were wounded. When they tried to wash themselves,” the Pope said.
✖️ In addition, the house where Mother Teresa’s sisters lived was damaged.
📝 “Some say: “This is terrorism, this is war.” Yes, this is war. Yes, this is terrorism. The Scripture says that “The Lord, ceasing to fight to the ends of the earth, broke the bow and broke the spear.” Let us pray to the Lord for peace!” , the pontiff added.
🤦‍♂️ The Pope stubbornly does not call the IDF’s actions in the Gaza Strip genocide. Apparently, “this is different.”
▪️❗The conflict in Gaza is not even halfway through. There are “weeks and weeks” of fighting ahead – UN Deputy Secretary General
According to Martin Griffiths, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is entering a phase where disease and hunger are beginning to be the main cause of “deprivation.”
❗️ The UN is also outraged and disappointed that the selectivity of IDF actions promised by Israel and the United States in the south of the sector has not been ensured.
Of course, the Organization will not do anything about this 🤔
▪️🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel prepares a plan to invade Lebanon to push back Hezbollah – The Times
The Israeli army wants to “push back Lebanese movement forces north of the Litani River, a line of symbolic significance for both sides” , writes the British publication.
📝 “The Israeli doctrine is to transfer the war to the other side. There can be no return to the status quo before October 7th. The Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces approved the plans and determined the readiness schedules,” the IDF said.
❗️ However, the decision on whether to transfer ground troops across the Lebanese border remains with Netanyahu and his cabinet. Hezbollah has shown itself to be a rather serious opponent for the IDF, and an invasion of Lebanon will obviously unleash a large-scale massacre in the Middle East.
✖️ So it is unlikely that Israel has seriously decided to open a second front after Gaza – probably this is another intimidation of the Shiite organization associated with Iran.
▪️🔴 It is reported that the Israeli Air Force struck the city of Aita al-Shaab in southern Lebanon. The footage shows that the arrival was in a building located several tens of meters from the funeral procession.
The number of dead and injured is still unknown.
▪️🇺🇸🇶🇦The CIA director in Warsaw holds talks with the Prime Minister of Qatar and the head of the Mossad
William Burns is trying to come up with a new way to interact with Hamas on the issue of releasing the hostages. Earlier, IDF soldiers shot and killed three hostages “by mistake.”
American and Israeli officials said that a previous negotiations reached a dead end regarding the issue of the remaining female hostages.
🇮🇱Tel Aviv insisted on their release before considering other categories, including elderly and infirm men.
Hamas claims that the women hostages are soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, which The United States and Israel deny.
❗️We must not forget that the IDF “compensated” for the release of dozens of Palestinian prisoners by arresting several hundred (and maybe thousands) of other Palestinians West Bank

Death and Destruction in Gaza

What Israel is doing in Gaza to the Palestinian civilian population – with the support of the Biden administration – is a crime against humanity that serves no meaningful military purpose. As J-Street, an important organization in the Israel lobby, puts it, “The scope of the unfolding humanitarian disaster and civilian casualties is nearly unfathomable.”

The video is a look at the history of the region from early on. In particular about the British motivation for settling Jews in Palestine. It’s long, about an hour. Introduction –
All too often, the question of Palestine is framed as an eternal conflict arising from ancient ethnic or religious hatreds, with questions regarding the origins of the state of Israel and the legitimacy egitimacy of land claims reduced to matters of scriptural interpretation. Such views entirely omit the actual history of Palestine and the Zionist movement. The colonization of Palestine, a process still playing out before our eyes to this day, has definite historical origins at the turn of the 20th century, when Zionism was born and the encroachment of Palestinian land began.
Historian Rashid Khalidi is the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University.

All The Propaganda Is Splattering Against A Solid Wall of Reality
https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2023/12/16/all-the-propaganda-is-splattering-against-a-solid-wall-of-reality/
“The western empire churns out propaganda narratives about what Israel is doing, and those narratives are crashing headlong into raw video footage and concrete facts in ways you don’t often see…

Here are some examples of made-up narratives:
• October 7 was an unprovoked attack
• This a war of defense and Israel has a right to defend itself
• Jewish people can’t be safe unless they have a homeland in which they receive preferential treatment over other ethnic groups
• There cannot be peace until Hamas is eliminated
• All civilian casualties are the fault of Hamas

Here are some examples of objective reality:

• Raw video footage of civilians who’ve been burned, mutilated and ripped apart by Israeli military explosives
• Photos of dead children who’ve been killed in Israeli airstrikes
• The objective fact that journalists are being killed at a historically unprecedented rate in this onslaught
• The objective fact that children are being killed at a much higher rate than in other modern conflicts
• The objective fact that Israel is laying siege to a civilian population while systematically displacing them en masse and destroying their healthcare system

▪️During the fighting in Shegaya, the IDF accidentally identified a number of hostages as enemies – the IDF opened fire on them, and they were killed.
This is a sad incident, and the IDF is responsible for everything, what happened,” said an Israeli army spokesman.
Israeli media report that the three young men are Yotam Haim, Samer Talalka and Alon Shamriz, were able to independently escape from Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip. However, when they approached the Israeli soldiers, they mistook them for militants and opened fire. The IDF has already ordered an internal audit.
❗️This blatant case once again confirms that Israeli soldiers, who have received complete carte blanche for violence in Gaza, shoot at literally everyone – even completely unarmed civilians and their own compatriots. After this, there is even less faith in the “careful and targeted” assaults on Palestinian hospitals and “Hamas bases” located under schools and residential buildings.
✊Hundreds of Israelis protested in Tel Aviv after the shooting of hostages
Earlier, IDF soldiers shot three hostages during fighting in Shejaiya, mistaking them for Hamas militants. Protesters demand urgent measures to return the remaining hostages from captivity, and also want Netanyahu’s resignation.

🇾🇪The Red Sea is essentially blocked, and this will greatly affect the world market.
The Red Sea is the eastern funnel of the Suez Canal, accounting for about 22% of international container trade and about 10% world oil trade🛢
The fact that Maersk is suspending all sailings on the Red Sea is significant as they operate 15.3% of the world’s container ship fleet. ranking second after the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), which controls 18.6%.
In the last 24 hours alone, three commercial vessels were attacked, leading to disruptions in supplies to Israel, which means the Israel-Hamas conflict has already gone beyond the borders of one country.
🤔 Off the top of my head, if the Red Sea really ceases to be part of global supply chains, the price of oil will jump significantly, which will alsocause prices for everything to rise, and inflation will leapfrog Covid times (due to the blockage of the Suez Canal, hypothetically).
The overall picture shows that in a couple of weeks, the Yemeni Houthis can influence the world market much more seriousthan all the economic sanctions of the West against all their opponents combined.
❗️Keep in mind the departure of American aircraft carriers from the Persian Gulf (perhaps this is a regrouping to counteract in the Red Sea region).
🔴 But here there is a nuance – having entered into a confrontation with a country in the Middle East, the United States will give the green light to the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” and the Syrians and Iranians to respond, but this time fully at US military bases and oil fields throughout the Middle East.
