Israel Kills Over 1,000 Palestinians in Gaza Since Breaking Ceasefire

1. To invoke Yakov Smirnoff, "In Netanyahu's Israel, ceasefire violates YOU !"

2. Not to mention that they also killed around 150 while violating that "ceasefire". They do what they want.

      NYU canceled a speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she was going to discuss the genocide in Gaza. A slide about the death toll in Gaza "could be perceived as antisemitic":

      A couple of the slides in her presentation touched on the casualties in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war as well as the cuts at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Liu said she was told the slides about Gaza "could be perceived as antisemitic" while the USAID section might be perceived as "anti governmental."
      Liu, who was already in New York when she got the call, offered to make edits to those slides but then three hours later, after some deliberations, she said the university apologized and said they had to cancel.
      "I was stunned," Liu said.

      1. This is getting out of hand, yet both those killers are just rolling along fine. US universities have all caved in order to get that government money. Professors don't want to be fired adn kids don't want to be expelled.

         How much longer before they come after Anti-War and we can no longer post what we think?

      1. "Netanyahu acknowledges he controls the Trump admin"

         1/ Listened to above clip – and I see how Blumenthal arrives at his "N. acknowledges he controls" view. But that is not how I read N's words here…

         2/ That's not to deny that Israel exerts "pressure" on the US…but – as I've argued in past – independent of such pressure, domestic political forces mainly drive US-Israel policies.

         Basically, I've argued, the US doesn't need pressuring:

         between the Israel lobby, evangelical and right-wing-Jewish mass bases, virtually bipartisan support, a Republican Party aiming to leverage Israel for domestic US power, and a liberal press that rationalizes Israel's genocidal US-enabled crimes…

         …America is an autonomous, enthusiastic actor and co-participant in Israel's crimes.

         1. I think we are in a chicken/egg scenario.

            Israel is a European colonial project, but the agitators or architects combined leaves room for debate: Both actors wanted power.

            There is no question that both the Uk/US and Israel have had imperialistic designs for the ME.

            My opinion is that the tide more definitively turned on the power dynamic during JFK’s administration.

            Take that as you will.

            1. "My opinion is that the tide more definitively turned on the power dynamic during JFK’s admin."

               The question – as detailed in my post on Sterling's 3/28 "From JFK to…Trump: How the USA Became Wedded to Zionist Israel" – is why.

               https://rumble.com/v1a6xdr-numec-how-israel-stole-the-atomic-bomb.html

               From: Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists:

               The US hypocrisy about Israel’s nuclear weapons must stop

               An extraordinary three-part series on Israeli television, The Atom and Me, lays out how the country got its nuclear weapons. It takes for granted what anyone who pays attention has known for years. But the series goes well beyond a general discussion about Israel’s nuclear weapons. It shows the country’s single-minded determination to get the bomb no matter what it took, including stealing nuclear explosives and bomb components from the United States and violating a major nuclear arms control treaty to which Israel is a party—and lying about it.
               As the Trump administration is in serious discussion about joining Israel in attacks on Iran to stop it from getting nuclear weapons, it is useful to shed illusions about Israel’s modus operandi.
               US officials stay mute. A thread running through the three episodes is a continuing conversation, before he died in 2018, with Benjamin Blumberg, the head of Lakam, the Israeli scientific intelligence agency responsible for the nuclear missions that led to the Israeli bomb, some so secret they were kept from the Mossad. (Mossad is the Israeli agency that handles foreign intelligence collection and covert action.) Blumberg was in failing health and agreed to talk so long as the interview was not aired until after his death.

               That conversation is mixed with archival material and recent interviews. The significance of the series lies not in showing what was not previously known—although there are details in that category—but in the admissions on Israeli public television, with the approval of the Israeli censors, about events that have been denied by Israel’s supporters in the United States, including the US government.
               Several events discussed in the television series deal directly with the United States: the theft in the 1960s of bomb quantities of uranium 235 from the NUMEC facility in Pennsylvania, where the leaders of the Israeli team that spirited Eichmann out of Argentina appeared inexplicably in 1968 with false identities; the illicit purchase of hundreds of high-speed switches (krytrons) for triggering nuclear weapons, and spiriting them out of the country in the 1980s by Israeli spy and arms dealer, and by then Hollywood producer, Arnon Milchan; and, most significantly at this point, Israel’s 1979 nuclear test in the seas off South Africa of what appears to be the initial fission stage for a thermonuclear weapon. The nuclear test violated the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty to which Israel is a party.
               What stands out from the television series is the grip Israel has had over US policy regarding Israel’s nuclear weapons.
               Not since John Kennedy has any US president tried to rein in Israel’s nuclear program. His successor, Lyndon Johnson, did not challenge the Israelis on nuclear issues (and covered up Israel’s attempt during the 1967 six-day war to sink the US spy ship Liberty). Such has been Israel’s political clout in the United States.
               No one was ever charged in the disappearance of nuclear material from NUMEC.

            3. 1/ Arbitrarily chose Wire over NUMEC link (Wire came first)…listening to about half.

               So the Wire analyzes evidence within a 'find a motive, find the killer' logic to finger Israel for JFK.

               Vs. a footnoted essay, I found it hard to evaluate because it was impossible to look at 'evidentiary claims.' e.g. – that some report 'determined' there were multiple shots vs just one shot from the storied "grassy knoll."

               On the matter of JFK, I am 'agnostic' – but there was simply not enough documentation of claims – in the podcast – for me to form a view.

               2/ In the Bulletin piece, there was certainly evidence of US silence on Israeli nuclear theft and weapons. But imo no evidence that the silence 'motive' was an Israeli "grip…over US policy," vs. the silence being due to other US domestic political or foreign policy calculations.

               Or, in #1 terms – 'There might be more than 1 plausible motive' vs 'everything pointing to an Israeli "grip."'

            4. The wire is an overview of the Numec documentary. He included documents. It’s easier to watch the documentary having seen the easier conversation first. But you can’t really watch one without the other, IMO.

               One of things included in the latest JFK release is a page dictating to leave out Israeli Intelligence documents.

               Like Whitney Webb’s work, who jumped off of Dawson’s and other authors, it is explained that there existed or exists a complicated network of organized crime, US intelligence and Israeli intelligence who coordinated all forms of fuckery.

               It’s not a smoking gun case. It is a circumstantial one.

            5. Thx for links and thoughts – btw, you might like James Ellroy's great though harrowing "American Tabloid" – his fiction telling of Bay of Pigs and the JFK assassination…govt/mafia/Cuban exile "fuckery" and "unsavory" characters galore…

            6. I haven’t read her books yet, because frankly, she’s hard to follow sometimes with excessive tangents, but when she has been more concise in interviews, Whitney Webb really does describe an international consortium of fuckery including govt intelligence, organized criminal groups, the MIC, wealthy plutocrats/oligarchs, plus blackmail to control politicians (ex. Epstein, but now through technology ushered in by Thiel, Palantir, Musk, etc.).

               The more you read, the more it confirms your instinct that events and policy are not really dictated by any formal government. I think Kennedy might have made some efforts to pull back on it, to his demise. His brother too.

               And from what I’ve come to understand, TPTB were okay with MLK JR provided he stuck with Black civil rights. But when he moved onto antiwar positions and criticisms about capitalism and imperialism, that was a bridge too far, especially since he held a large following.

            7. Here are Webb’s books in case you are inclined. I will get around to it myself:

            8. "Here are Webb’s books in case you are inclined."

               Thx…though yr 'sell'…

               …"haven’t read her books yet, because frankly, she’s hard to follow sometimes with excessive tangents"…"I will get around to it"…

               …doesn't exactly inspire jumping up and running for Barnes & Nobles!

            9. I think they are there in full.

            10. That’s just my experience. You may have a different perspective and she may have developed a more concise presentation since I last watched.

            11. This book pointed to a collusion of intersecting interests. Because it included Israeli components, it was dismissed as antisemitic, which when first introduced to me, I believed to be true.

                But now I realize that some labels of antisemitism are really a roadblock of deception, to keep eyes off of analysis. This is not saying there is no antisemitism, of course there is, but that it has been used to paper over all things about Israel that are unsavory.

                That said, it doesn’t strike me as unusual or, in the absence of other information, damning that the person assigned to screen Oswald’s mail was Jewish.

            15. From most of the books, articles etc, the US intelligence and Israeli intelligence worked in concert for shared/intersecting interests.

                Also, as we have seen in modern day scenarios, sometimes US dual citizens in government or outside of it, have stronger devotion to the Israel project than the US one.

                Plus, Oswald wasn’t a random unknown nutjob.

            16. Not proof of Israel’s involvement in the assassination, but proof that the CIA coordinated with Israeli intelligence and sought to obscure/conceal it , even within the CIA:

                JFK Files: CIA-Israel intelligence pipeline were dismissed as conspiracy. But these newly surfaced memos confirm what many suspected: James Angleton, the CIA’s counterintelligence chief, personally ran a covert intelligence-sharing operation with Israeli intelligence.

                The other, made possible by it being a reply to my reply to your previous comment:

                “The fact that the guy who monitored Oswald’s email was Jewish is evidence of such coordination.”

                Absent a lot more information on Reuben Efron, I don’t see any reason to regard the latter reading as compelling.

                Nine documents about the legendary counterintelligence chief James Angleton expose his ‘deeply deceptive’ actions concerning the patsy/assassin

                https://jfkfacts.substack.com/p/from-the-new-jfk-files-the-untold

                Previously:

                James Angleton and the rise of Israel

                Angleton was was a leading architect of America’s strategic relationship with Israel that endures and dominates the region to this day,” Jefferson Morley writes in The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton.  More than any other man, the longtime chief of U.S. counterintelligence made possible Israel’s shift “from an embattled settler state into a strategic ally  of the world’s greatest superpower.”
                Angleton did so chiefly by burying any effort in the U.S. intelligence establishment to question Israel’s acquisition of nuclear weapons in the 1960s. “Angleton’s loyalty to Israel betrayed U.S. policy on an epic scale,” Morley writes. “Instead of supporting U.S. nuclear security policy, he ignored it.”…
                Today it is no surprise that Angleton is remembered more fondly in Israel than in the United States. Here he has the clouded reputation of a paranoid who used the CIA to spy on domestic political activities, resulting in scandal that forced his resignation in 1975. In Jerusalem there are two memorials to Angleton, dedicated by high officials, Morley relates. One stone is outside Angleton’s beloved oasis, the King David Hotel. “In memory of a dear friend,” it says.
                Israeli officials felt great gratitude to Angleton for his actions. “[H]e was a friend you could trust on a personal basis,” Yitzhak Rabin said of Angleton. He was “the biggest Zionist of the lot,” said Meir Amit, the late Mossad director….
                Disintegration was an element of Angleton’s character. His wife had left him, he was a heavy drinker and smoker, and he was holding a lot of secrets. Some of these surely had to do with the Kennedy assassination. Angleton had been following Lee Harvey Oswald for years inside the CIA, ever since the ex-Marine sought to defect to the Soviet Union; and Angleton’s testimony to a Senate committee remains classified, despite the government’s promise to release all records. Morley offers compelling evidence in this book that Angleton obstructed the Kennedy investigation and lied under oath about key details.
                https://mondoweiss.net/2017/11/golem-angleton-israel/

            20. I watched the hearing yesterday and Morley did a great job of exposing Angleton and the two other CIA leaders who provably lied to Congress on the matter.

            21. More:

                Angleton described a “fiduciary relationship” with the Israelis, meaning he felt legally and ethically bound to act in the best interests of his client, the Jewish state. Exploiting intelligence from Jewish emigrants was “probably the most economical operation that has ever been devised in the U.S. government,” he said. (From June 1975 to March 2025, the words “Tel Aviv” were censored from public view.)
                In short, Angleton used the Jewish emigres not only for intelligence but to plug them into his collection network. Reuben Efron, the CIA man who read Oswald’s mail from 1959-62, fits the profile of Angleton’s agents, a Jewish emigre from the Soviet Union whom Angleton recruited “outside the structure” of the Agency.
                Did Angleton use a foreign agent to monitor the future accused assassin? A month ago I would have said the possibility was far-fetched. Now it cannot be dismissed.
                https://jfkfacts.substack.com/p/from-the-new-jfk-files-how-a-top/comment/103989229

            22. True, it “cannot be dismissed.”

                But neither is it anything like a proven fact. Nor would it be especially material, since Israeli intelligence clearly got anything they wanted from Angleton and therefore didn’t need an agent at every level to procure it for them. If I hire someone to mow my lawn (I can’t afford that, but if I could …), I don’t need to also hire another guy to infiltrate the first guy’s crew and make sure the yard gets mowed.

            23. I don’t see how you think he was used to infiltrate Israeli intelligence.

            24. I don't see how you think I think that.

            25. To be clear, I do not think that being Jewish means being Zionist automatically. But Angleton was a staunch Zionist and not Jewish. Because he was dedicated to Israel, even to the detriment of US policy, it is most likely that he would be recruiting agents who shared this mindset.

            26. Money and political power from the start:

                According to Prof. Gottwein, the role of Chaim Weizmann in the Balfour Declaration was overstated in Israeli education and popular culture. Instead, he suggests that the strategy leading to the declaration was devised by Baron Edmond de Rothschild and Weizmann was dependent on the connections and power of the Rothschild family.

                The strategy involved the conquest and dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of a British colonial territory in the Land of Israel… Weizmann played a role in implementing the strategy during the war with the help of members of the English branch of the Rothschild family….

                The family’s involvement in the Zionist movement was also complex and multifaceted, ranging from financial support to political influence and manipulation. The Rothschilds, like many other wealthy and influential families, were primarily motivated by their own interests and goals, which could sometimes conflict with those of the Zionist movement or the Jewish people as a whole.

                ..

                The father of the settlement movement

                Although only a portion of the Rothschild family contributed to the establishment of the State of Israel, their impact was significant. While it cannot be claimed that the country would not have been established without them, their support certainly accelerated its development.

                Indeed, it is likely true to say that Baron Edmond Rothschild played a key role in the establishment of Jewish settlements in Palestine and can be considered the father of the settlement movement.

   3. Imagine if the entire west censored everything on the Holocaust of Nazi Germany as anti-German hate speech.

      This is how insane it is now:

      Holocaust survivor who laid flowers at Gaza protest questioned by police
      
      Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, 87, was questioned by London's Metropolitan Police following his participation in a pro-Palestine protest in Trafalgar Square on January 18.

      Mr Kapos, who laid flowers at the square to commemorate Palestinian lives lost in the Israel-Hamas war, is one of nine people summoned for questioning after the protest, during which 77 arrests were made.

      The Met Police allege that protesters violated pre-communicated Public Order Act conditions by moving from Whitehall to Trafalgar Square.

      Mr Kapos, along with supporters, criticised the UK government's response to the conflict, urging condemnation of Israeli actions and an end to military contracts.

      A group of Holocaust survivors and descendants has penned an open letter condemning the police's questioning of Mr Kapos.

      1. "Imagine if the entire west censored everything on the Holocaust of Nazi Germany as anti-German hate speech."

         Yes. Imagine that in real time – as the Holocaust was happening.

3. The Israelis are truly lost souls….
