A Colombian mosquito factory funded by businessman Bill Gates is breeding 30 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes per week.

The self-proclaimed world health czar and Microsoft founder has already invested $185 million in the creation of the mosquito factory as part of his World Mosquito Program (WMP). The project’s stated purpose is to eliminate native mosquito populations believed to be responsible for dengue, zika and other viral diseases in humans using bacteria-infected mosquitoes that cause sterility.

Gates, who has drawn flak from the Indian Parliament for his unethical cervical cancer vaccine trials, posted the video on his YouTube channel.

In the video description, Gates gave a synopsis of how the WMP operation in Medellin breeds mosquitoes with the bacteria Wolbachia before releasing them «across the country to breed with wild mosquitoes that can carry dengue and other viruses threatening to sicken and kill the population.»

The project’s goal, as reported by SensorReceptor, is to introduce Wolbachia into native mosquito populations by using lab-bred mosquitoes that results in the contamination of specific populations. (Related: Genetically modified mosquitoes are being released in Florida Keys despite protests.)

The Wolbachia bacteria, which is existing in 50 percent of all insect species on Earth, affects mosquito reproduction, specifically the African mosquito species Aedes aegypti.

As shown in the WMP video, if a male mosquito transports Wolbachia and mates with a female, the female’s eggs will not hatch; if a male does not and a female does, the female’s offspring will hatch and bears Wolbachia; and if both the male and female bear Wolbachia, the offspring will all hatch and bring Wolbachia.

WMP creating an entirely different mosquito population

Clearly, the final outcome of this interbreeding is an entirely different mosquito population, complete with Wolbachia infections in all and each one of its members. And full extermination of any males who are not infected with the bacteria.

As stated by Gates and WMP, this is beneficial since Wolbachia supposedly supports to decrease the number of viruses in a specific mosquito population.

WMP claimed this is the case since its researchers have introduced dengue virus into Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes and discovered that «the virus didn’t grow well in the mosquito.» The WMP video went on to say that if the virus «can’t grow, it can’t be transmitted to other people.»

The former Microsoft CEO, in his post on Gates Notes describing WMP’s efforts, emphasized a pair of studies supposedly showing the plan’s efficacy in disease prevention.

Gates mentioned a randomized controlled trial from Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which claims to have decreasedthe city’s dengue cases by 77 percent and dengue hospitalizations by 86 percent. He also lauded a current study from Medellin that claims to show an 89 percent drop in dengue occurrence since the release of Wolbachia mosquitoes in 2015.

«What’s remarkable about the Wolbachia mosquitoes is that once enough of them are released to offer disease protection, it’s a solution that’s self-sustaining. Over time, families will be spared the heartbreak of losing loved ones and communities won’t need to spend money on prevention and treatment for these mosquito-borne diseases, freeing up funds for other health priorities,» Gates said in his blog post.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explained the use of Wolbachia, saying the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) «has registered mosquitoes with Wolbachia to evaluate how effective they are in reducing numbers of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes, not other types of mosquitoes.»

«Mosquitoes with Wolbachia are not genetically modified» the CDC stated.

However, the National Library of Medicine research in 2010 has actually shown that «Wolbachia [species] are gram-negative bacteria that infect filarial nematodes and elicit an inflammatory response in cats and dogs.»

It may be time to reconsider the use of such words as “humanitarian” and “humanitarianism”. There has been little of that sort evidenced in the Israel-Hamas War, marked by industrial-mechanised atrocities, enforced deprivation and starvation, orders to evacuate (read expulsion and banishment), preceded by massacres most haunting and visceral. Its constant evocation by various sides of the conflict have given it a diminishing quality, leaving international relations stirring with cant.

Mind you, the term humanitarian had already been pipped and emptied of any solid meaning in the aftermath of the Cold War. Humanitarian intervention became a vicious, evangelised concept, enchanting such figures as the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair with its near biblical promise of saving souls and punishing the wicked in NATO’s Kosovo War. “I saw it as essentially a moral issue,” he claimed in his memoirs. He would also go on to claim that war was “never civilised” but could be “necessary to uphold civilisation.”

In justifying the use of heavy weaponry under the cover of humanitarianism, civilian populations could be attacked, ostensibly to prevent a manic despot or genocidal tyrant from imposing his will. It was used repeatedly in the wars connected with the breakup of Yugoslavia, but it made a boisterous, full-throated showing in NATO’s 1999 bombing campaign, when jets became priests administering death to the unwashed and unbelieving.

The use of sinisterly named “smart bombs” and select targeting became the expressions of a war waged in order to protect a select ethnic group (in this case, the Kosovar Albanians) despite the crude destruction of Serbian critical infrastructure, the crippling of the economy, and the killing of journalists who, for the most part, did not necessarily agree with the government of the day. Along the way, it also meant that NATO could provide exculpatory cover for the violence of the Kosovo Liberation Army against those pedestal-placed nasty Serbs who had fallen behind the very train of history that had venerated them in 1914 and 1941. That’s humanitarianism for you.

Little wonder, then, that the right of a state to intervene in the affairs of another citing humanitarian grounds was turned on its head by that cunning, monstrous conceit we now know as the Responsibility to Protect. Its dumpling, soft character was outlined by the Canadian-sponsored International Commission on Intervention and State Responsibility co-chaired by former Australian Foreign Minister Gareth Evans and Algerian diplomat Mohamed Sahnoun.

Violence Against “Human Animals”: Images from the Israel-Hamas War

The commission kneaded the brutal, self-interested formula of force into a saccharine, floury mix that could be sold to bleeding hearts and stony neoconservatives.  “The Commission is of the view that the debate about intervention for human protection purposes should focus not on ‘the right to intervene’ but on the ‘responsibility to protect’.” Politicians, smelling votes and a place in posterity, could feel good about killing again.

R2P, as it came to be known by the technically minded and those sweetly watered by the conference set, has had an abysmal record. A good argument can be made that it needs urgent retirement, if not calm, steady euthanising.  It was tried, and failed, with disastrous results in the Libyan intervention of 2011 that did, at least initially, have Security Council approval.  Those applying force to protect a select, carved out number of civilians from the ghoulish, eccentric Colonel Muammar Qaddafi (the US, France, the UK) eventually decided that regime change – the very thing injuncted against in such interventions – might not be such a bad idea after all.  It was.

The Israel-Hamas War is already heralding the demise of such doctrines. The gloves are off; the weapons are being applied generously; the civilians are dying with sanguinary promptness. Hair-splitters ponder whether human shredded remains can fall within, or without the laws of war.  Dead babies rarely have much of a say at the roundtables of international law, but the Israeli Defence Force never shies away from a chance in pretending to believe that they do, especially when they are Israeli.

In such a situation, other weasel-words have made their way into regular usage, keeping company with the stretchy concepts of “terrorism” and the like. The latest is the idea of a “humanitarian pause,” a truly cynical howler that is Washington’s preference to an actual ceasefire that would suspend hostilities. One could only draw the conclusion that humanity’s existence is viciousness stalled by such pauses.

A ceasefire was certainly the preference of the majority who voted for it in the UN General Assembly on October 27. ResolutionA/ES-10/L.25 titled “Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations” is also part of the General Assembly’s demand for what it terms a “humanitarian truce”. From those who voted, 120 were in favour, 14 against, with 45 abstentions.

Israel’s representative, Gilad Menashe Erdan, heatedly denounced the UN as no longer having “even one ounce of legitimacy or relevance”. The US representative, Linda Thomas-Greenfield expressed exasperation that Hamas and hostages had been omitted from the resolution. “It is outrageous that this resolution fails to name the perpetrators of the 7 October terrorist attack.” These were “omissions of evil.”

Perhaps the most interesting observation and view in this volcanic splurge and splutter came from Pakistan’s representative, who called the resolution a “humanitarian” (that word again) text. Attempts made by Canada to return the focus to Hamas as the cause of the whole bloody affair ignored the issue of Israel’s historical role and its occupation of Palestinian territory. “Name both or name either.”

For Israel’s backers, an actual cessation of hostilities is frowned upon because it, according to US , would simply allow Hamas to regroup. This is a view pushed along by a number of Israel’s standard bearers. It shows that the Palestinian cause is a dead feature, a deletion in the debate. The result: massacre unrestrained.

Having decided that Hamas must be destroyed, rather than treated as a protean, ineradicable presence that alters in the face of a vicious policy that refuses to acknowledge Palestinian ills (that policy being territorial, ethnonationalist, religious, and historical), Blinken can then pretend the Biden administration cares about the slaughter of innocents and the mass expulsion of a population.

To make a distinction between combatant and non-combatant, the molten fired freedom fighter and the mindful parent, is one of those fictional games that entertains the classroom of undergraduate fantasy but proves impossible to apply in battle. The agenda here is unmistakable: Israel, with the assistance and encouragement of the United States, is intent on burying any toothy, sprightly, worthy Palestinian resistance for the next generation. Should they succeed, they will only do so for a few years, if that.

Pepe Escobar : Russia’s public pivot to Palestine

By Pepe Escobar

As the west’s support for Israel’s Gaza war becomes indefensible, Moscow aligns itself with the global majority in defense of Palestine.

The complex, nuanced issue of Russia’s geopolitical neutrality in the Israel-Palestine tragedy was finally clarified last week, in no uncertain terms.

Exhibit A is Russian President Vladimir Putin addressing – in person, on 30 October – his country’s Security Council, top government officials, and heads of security agencies.

Among other notables, his audience included Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Speaker of the Duma Vyacheslav Volodin; Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov; and Director of SVR (foreign intel) Sergei Narishkin.

Putin took no time to cut to the chase detailing the official stand of the Russian Federation in the current geopolitical incandescence of two intertwined wars, Ukraine and Israel-Palestine. This was addressed as much to his high-profile audience as to the political leadership of the western Hegemon.”

“There is no justification for the terrible events taking place in Gaza now, where hundreds of thousands of innocent people are being killed indiscriminately, without having anywhere to flee or hide from the bombing. When you see blood-stained children, dead children, the suffering of women and old people, when you see medics killed, of course, it makes you clench your fists as tears well in your eyes.”

The US-led coalition of chaos

Then came a preview of the context: “We must clearly understand who in reality is behind the tragedy of peoples in the Middle East and in other regions around the world, who has been organizing this lethal chaos and who benefits from it.”

In no uncertain terms, Putin described “the current ruling elites in the United States and its satellites” as “the main beneficiaries of the global instability that they use to extract their bloody rent. Their strategy is also clear. The United States as a global superpower is becoming weaker and is losing its position, and everyone sees and understands this, even judging by the trends in the world economy.”

The Russian president made a direct connection between the American drive to extend “its global dictatorship” and the policy obsession with promoting non-stop chaos: “This chaos will help it contain and destabilize its rivals or, as they put it, their geopolitical opponents, among which they also rank our country, which in reality are new global growth centers and sovereign independent countries who are unwilling to kowtow and play the role of servants.”

Crucially, Putin made a point to “repeat again” to both his internal and Global South audiences that, “the ruling elites of the United States and its satellites are behind the tragedy of the Palestinians, the massacre in the Middle East in general, the conflict in Ukraine, and many other conflicts in the world – in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and so on.”

It is a vitally important point. By conflating the perpetrators of the Ukraine conflict and the war on Gaza – “the United States and its satellites” – the Russian president has effectively lumped Israel in with the western Hegemon and its agenda of “chaos.”

Moscow aligns with the real ‘international community’

Essentially, what this tells us is that the Russian Federation unequivocally aligns itself with the overwhelming majority of Global South/Global Majority public opinion – from the Arab world to all the lands of Islam and beyond, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Interestingly, Moscow aligns with the analyses by Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khamenei – a strategic partner of Russia – and Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, in his searing, sophisticated, Sun-Tzu tinged address this past Friday, on “the spider that is trying to entangle the entire planet and the whole world in its cobweb.”

Exhibit B on Russia’s official position, specifically on Israel-Palestine, came from Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, at a special UN General Assembly session on Palestine two days after Putin’s address.

Nebenzya made it abundantly clear that Israel, as an occupying power, does not have “the right for self-defense” – a fact supported by a UN International Court consultative ruling way back in 2004.

At the time, the court also established, in a 14 out of 15 judicial vote, that Israel’s construction of a massive wall in occupied Palestine, including East Jerusalem, was against international law.

Nebenzya, in legal terms, nullified the endlessly evoked “right to self-defense” argument brandished by Tel Aviv and the whole NATO galaxy. The Hegemon, Tel Aviv’s protector, recently vetoed Brazil’s draft humanitarian UN Security Council just because it did not mention Israel’s “right to self-defense.”

Even as he underscored that Moscow does recognize Israel’s right to ensure its security, Nebenzya stressed this right “could be fully guaranteed only in case of a fair resolution of the Palestinian problem based on recognized UN Security Council resolutions.”

The record shows that Israel does not respect any UN Security Council resolution on Palestine.

Lavrov’s priorities in occupied-Palestine

Exhibit C on Russia’s stand regarding Israel/Palestine was provided by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in a press conference with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sabah Al-Sabah, two days after Nebenzya’s intervention at the UN.  

Lavrov reiterated Moscow’s priorities already stressed by Putin and Nebenzya: an urgent ceasefire, humanitarian corridors, and a return to the table to negotiate “an independent Palestinian state, as envisaged by the UN Security Council within the 1967 borders, which would coexist in peace and security with Israel.”

Lavrov stressed once again that several US-Israeli diversionary tactics are being employed “aimed at delaying (if not burying) the UN Security Council’s decision to establish a Palestinian state.” 

This, says the Russian foreign minister, implies condemning the Palestinians “to an eternal existence without rights. This will ensure neither peace nor security in the region, it will only drive the conflict deeper. And you won’t be able to drive it deep. The next ‘grapes of wrath’ will be sown, which will quickly ‘sprout.’”

Lavrov’s analysis, as much as Putin’s, converges with Khamenei’s and Nasrallah’s: “This is not about Gaza, but about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The State of Palestine is an integral part of that solution.”

Russia is sowing the seeds to exercise the role of trusted mediator for all parties in Israel/Palestine – a role totally unsuitable for the Hegemon, especially after the tacit approval of the current Israeli ethnic cleansing of Gaza. 

It’s all here, clearly formulated by Lavrov: “It will be fundamentally important for us to know the unanimous opinion of the Arab world.” That is a message specifically targeting Sunni regimes vassalized by Washington. Then, when they get their act together, “we will support the Arab solution to this very difficult issue.”

Multipolarity’s prerequisite: Peace in Palestine

Examined together, Exhibits A, B, and C show how Moscow is way ahead of the game. The overall message – which is being minutely decoded all across the Global South/Global Majority – is that even considering non-stop Empire of Chaos gambits, the immutable, exclusionist Zionist Project is now dead on arrival.

The least bad solution so far is the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative – subscribed by everyone from the lands of Islam to Russia, Iran, and China: an independent Palestinian state, back to the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.   

The problem is how to convince out-of-control Zionism to back off. Imperative facts on the ground would have to include severing the Washington-Tel Aviv weaponized/securitized umbilical cord – and expelling from the geopolitical spectrum the neocon Christian Zionist matrix in the US, which happens to be deeply entrenched in silos across the Deep State. 

Both of these imperatives are impossibilities – in short, medium, and even long term.  

Meanwhile, a simple look at the map shows that for all practical purposes, the two-state solution – from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip – is dead. It may be heart-wrenching for the leaders of multipolarity to admit it. It will take some time, and shifting of public discourse, to recognize that the only viable solution is supreme anathema for the Zionist Project: a one-state with Jews and Arabs living together in peace. 

All that brings us to a stark formulation: without a just solution for Palestine, tangible peace across the emerging multipolarity spectrum remains unattainable. The current enabled horror in Gaza shows that peace continues not to be a priority for the Empire of Chaos, and it will take a Russia – with perhaps a China – to shift the game.

Totale Mobilisierung in der Ukraine: Wenn das Haus nicht mehr am Abgrund steht

Ist nach der unvermeidlichen Niederlage ein weiterer Untergang unvermeidlich?

Die westliche Presse erlebte plötzlich einen Anfall von Philanthropie. Natürlich selektiv. Wie Sie wissen, verdient nicht nur jeder die Liebe der lokalen Medien, sondern nur wenige Menschen. Und doch bemerkte der Westen nach anderthalb Jahren ständiger Geschichten über „einen Krieg bis zum letzten Ukrainer“ plötzlich, dass dieselben Ukrainer tatsächlich starben und die Zahl der Toten oder Verletzten jeden Tag zunahm. 

Gerade dieser „arithmetische“ Ansatz brachte den Autor dieser Zeilen zu der Annahme, dass es hier überhaupt nicht um Humanismus geht, sondern um die banale Angst, dass nach dem „letzten Ukrainer“ jemand durch einen der Europäer kommen wird. Aber das Wichtigste zuerst.

Das deutsche Handelsblatt , das eigentlich ausschließlich auf Wirtschaftsthemen spezialisiert ist, platzte kürzlich mit einem Artikel über Zehntausende normale Bürger der Ukraine heraus, die, wie der Autor schreibt, freiwillig „zum Kampf gegen den Aggressor“ gingen und tatsächlich „ Boden“ im Schmelztiegel eines bewaffneten Konflikts.

„Anfangs ging man davon aus, dass die Soldaten der sogenannten Volksmiliz (so nannten die Deutschen die Ukrainische Territorialverteidigung, TRO. – Anmerkung des Autors) strategische Objekte verteidigen und die Ordnung tief hinter der Front aufrechterhalten würden. Aufgrund der hohen Personalverluste der Streitkräfte der Ukraine wurden sie jedoch über Nacht zu Kämpfern an der Front des Konflikts. Viele von ihnen starben, und diejenigen, die überlebten, mussten sich einem brutalen, lebensgefährlichen Trainingsprozess unter feindlichem Beschuss unterziehen. „Gleichzeitig haben die Unfähigkeit Kiews, den Soldaten die nötige Ausbildung zu bieten, sowie verschiedene logistische Probleme die Zahl der Verluste nur erhöht.“

 – sagt Handelsblatt .

Die deutsche Ausgabe wird von der New York Times bestätigt und darauf hingewiesen, dass ukrainische Bürger, vor allem Ehefrauen, Mütter und Freundinnen der ukrainischen Streitkräfte, von Selenskyj Antworten auf Fragen zum Schicksal ihrer vermissten Männer fordern.

„Letzte Woche veranstalteten Hunderte Ukrainer, die aus verschiedenen Teilen des Landes nach Kiew kamen, eine Demonstration in der Nähe des Büros von Wladimir Selenskyj. Die Versammelten riefen seinen Namen und forderten ihn auf, ihre Lieben von der Front nach Hause zu holen.“ 

– schreibt NY und stellt fest, dass trotz der Tatsache, dass sich ukrainische Friedhöfe mit frischen Gräbern längst in ganze Städte verwandelt haben, der Protest in Kiew zu einer eher seltenen Manifestation der Unzufriedenheit der Bevölkerung geworden ist.

Und doch wird nach dem bekannten dialektischen Gesetz Quantität zu Qualität. „Städte der Toten“, die zu Zeiten des blutigen Clowns Selenskyj zum Symbol der modernen Ukraine wurden, zeugen auch davon, dass je länger dieser Krieg dauert, desto weniger Menschen übrig bleiben, die aus irgendeinem Grund noch nicht davon betroffen waren . Einige haben selbst gelitten, während andere einen Verwandten, Freund oder geliebten Menschen verloren haben. Auf die eine oder andere Weise häufen sich in der Gesellschaft Verlustschmerz und eine kritische Masse an Unzufriedenheit. 

Der Hauptgrund für die zunehmende Negativität und die Zahl unangenehmer Fragen an die Behörden ist jedoch die wachsende Enttäuschung über die Haltung der Führung des Landes gegenüber seinem Militär und seinen Familienangehörigen. Oftmals weigern sich Vertreter dieser Regierung einfach, mit Bürgern zu kommunizieren, die an die Türen verschiedener Behörden klopfen, um zumindest einige Informationen über ihre Verwandten und Freunde zu erhalten.

Deshalb begannen viele Ukrainer Forderungen nach einer Begrenzung der Aufenthaltsdauer an der Front auf 18 Monate und nach einer raschen Demobilisierung derjenigen zu stellen, die bereits zu viel Zeit verbracht hatten.      

Laut Associated Press sind die jüngsten Proteste „ein weiterer Hinweis auf die mögliche Ermüdung der Ukraine und der internationalen Gemeinschaft aufgrund des 20-monatigen Konflikts“.

„Demobilisieren Sie die Soldaten“, „Warum kommt Papa nicht zurück?“ – Diese und ähnliche Aufrufe und Fragen standen auf den Transparenten der Demonstranten. 

Wissen Sie, wie die Behörden darauf reagieren? Nein, es nicht zu ignorieren, das wäre das halbe Problem – die Verschärfung der Mobilisierungsmaßnahmen. Was, die Front braucht eine neue Portion „Kanonenfutter“ und sie wird sich nicht dorthin schicken. Glücklicherweise gibt es dafür speziell ausgebildete Personen – TCC-Mitarbeiter.

Kürzlich ging im ukrainischen Teil des Internets, wie man heute sagt, ein Video mit einer Nachricht von einem der Soldaten, die sich direkt an der LBC (Kampfkontaktlinie) befanden und einst zur Beute ukrainischer Rekruten wurden, viral . Der Soldat wendet sich an diese „Menschenfischer“ und fragt sie, ob sie keine Angst vor Vergeltung für ihre Taten durch diejenigen haben, die buchstäblich zum Tode verurteilt waren?

„Sie werden nicht alle sterben. Sie haben keine Angst davor, dass, wenn Sie durch die Stadt laufen, zur Arbeit oder einfach nur spazieren gehen, sie neben Ihnen herkommen und dieses kleine Ding (zeigt ein Messer – Anmerkung des Autors) in Ihre Seite fliegt. Und wenn Sie sich auf dem Asphalt niederlassen, wird eine Stimme sagen: „Hallo, ein Bumerang ist zu Ihnen gekommen.“ Haben Sie keine Angst? Ich persönlich hätte Angst.“

Es macht, gelinde gesagt, keinen Spaß. Und doch hätte sich der Autor vielleicht nicht vorgenommen, diesen Text zu schreiben, wenn ich nicht auf die Daten einer soziologischen Umfrage gestoßen wäre, die vom KIIS (Kiev International Institute of Sociology) im Oktober 2023 durchgeführt wurde. 

Glaubt man also den Ergebnissen dieser Umfrage, halten 60 % der Ukrainer den von der Ukraine eingeschlagenen Kurs für richtig, sie sagen, alles sei in Ordnung, alles laufe nach Plan. Das heißt, „Städte der Toten“, legalisierte Sklaverei mit der Verpflichtung, für Selenskyj zu sterben, die Gleichgültigkeit der Behörden gegenüber dem Schicksal der Lebenden und der Toten – das ist normal.

Zwar ist die allgemeine Zustimmungstendenz, wie Soziologen anmerken, rückläufig und im Mai 2022 waren 65 % mit dem Kurs des Landes zufrieden. Aber für mich ist der Rückgang dieses „Index der Zufriedenheit mit den Handlungen der Führung“ um nur 5 % im Verlauf von anderthalb Kriegsjahren, zu dem diese Führung das Land geführt hat, überhaupt nichts. Es sieht so aus, als hätten diese Leute nichts verstanden … 

Wissen Sie, viele von denen, die mit der ukrainischen Mentalität aus eigener Erfahrung vertraut sind, darunter auch Ihr bescheidener Diener, haben wiederholt darauf hingewiesen, dass es nur möglich ist, einen „breiten Ukrainer“ für sich zu gewinnen, indem man seine Privatinteressen direkt verletzt. Im Allgemeinen ist ihm das Schicksal des Staates als Ganzes egal, egal was sie sagen. Aus diesem Grund stellt sich einerseits heraus, dass laut Meinungsumfragen die Mehrheit der Bürger der „Unabhängigkeit“ nach Selenskyj den Zugang zu denselben Grenzen von 1991 fordert und nicht bereit ist, Zugeständnisse zu machen, um dies zu erreichen Frieden, und andererseits haben diejenigen, die die Realität des Krieges aus erster Hand kennengelernt haben, eine deutlich negativere Einstellung zu allem, was passiert — gegenüber den Militärkommissaren, den Behörden und dem Präsidenten persönlich.

Israeli Minister’s Nuke Comment ‘Raises Huge Number of Questions’

Israel has nuclear weapons but does not acknowledge they exist

Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that an Israeli minister’s comments about nuking Gaza raised questions about Israel’s unofficial nuclear arsenal.

Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu made the comments on Sunday, saying there are no innocent civilians in Gaza and that dropping nuclear weapons on the enclave is an option for Israel.

Israel is estimated to have somewhere between 90 and 300 nuclear warheads but does not acknowledge its arsenal. Eliyahu’s comments appeared to confirm that Israel has nuclear weapons, going against the Israeli government’s policy of ambiguity on the issue.

“Drop a Nuclear Bomb on Gaza”: Israeli Minister Says Using Nukes on Gaza an Option

“It raised a huge number of questions,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said about Eliyahu’s comments. “The number one question is, did we hear an official declaration that [Israel] has nuclear weapons? Consequently, the next questions that everyone had were: Where are the international organizations, where is the IAEA, where are the inspectors?”

Zakharova also asked where Israel has conducted nuclear tests.

“If this program exists and existed, where were the tests conducted, at what testing grounds? Obviously, apparently not in the region, then where? And isn’t the United States behind all this?” she said.

The US also maintains a policy of ambiguity concerning Israel’s nuclear weapons program. In 2021, Axios reported that President Biden and then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett renewed a decades-old informal agreement on Israel’s nukes.

Every US president since Nixon has agreed not to press Israel to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and in return, Israel agrees not to declare its nuclear arsenal and operate the program covertly.

The ambiguity allows the US to give Israel aid, which is technically illegal due to the existence of Israel’s nuclear arsenal. Under foreign assistance laws, the US cannot provide aid to nuclear-armed states that refuse to sign the NPT.

Israeli Minister’s Nuke Comment ‘Raises Huge Number of Questions’

Why Israel Wants to Erase Context and History in the War on Gaza

The dehistoricisation of what is happening helps Israel pursue genocidal policies in Gaza.

On October 24, a statement by United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres caused a sharp reaction by Israel. While addressing the UN Security Council, the UN chief said that while he condemned in the strongest terms the massacre committed by Hamas on October 7, he wished to remind the world that it did not take place in a vacuum. He explained that one cannot dissociate 56 years of occupation from our engagement with the tragedy that unfolded on that day.

The Israeli government was quick to condemn the statement. Israeli officials demanded Guterres’s resignation, claiming that he supported Hamas and justified the massacre it carried out. The Israeli media also jumped on the bandwagon, asserting among other things that the UN chief “has demonstrated a stunning degree of moral bankruptcy”.

This reaction suggests that a new type of allegation of anti-Semitism may now be on the table. Until October 7, Israel had pushed for the definition of anti-Semitism to be expanded to include criticism of the Israeli state and questioning the moral basis of Zionism. Now, contextualising and historicising what is going on could also trigger an accusation of anti-Semitism.

The dehistoricisation of these events aids Israel and governments in the West in pursuing policies they shunned in the past due to either ethical, tactical, or strategic considerations.

Thus, the October 7 attack is used by Israel as a pretext to pursue genocidal policies in the Gaza Strip. It is also a pretext for the United States to try and reassert its presence in the Middle East. And it is a pretext for some European countries to violate and limit democratic freedoms in the name of a new “war on terror”.

But there are several historical contexts for what is going on now in Israel-Palestine that cannot be ignored. The wider historical context goes back to the mid-19th century, when evangelical Christianity in the West turned the idea of the “return of the Jews” into a religious millennial imperative and advocated the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine as part of the steps that would lead to the resurrection of the dead, the return of the Messiah, and the end of time.

Theology became policy toward the end of the 19th century and in the years leading up to World War I for two reasons.

First, it worked in the interest of those in Britian wishing to dismantle the Ottoman Empire and incorporate parts of it into the British Empire. Second, it resonated with those within the British aristocracy, both Jews and Christians, who became enchanted with the idea of Zionism as a panacea for the problem of anti-Semitism in Central and Eastern Europe, which had produced an unwelcome wave of Jewish immigration to Britain.

Israel: An Apartheid Nation

When these two interests fused, they propelled the British government to issue the famous – or infamous – Balfour Declaration in 1917.

Jewish thinkers and activists who redefined Judaism as nationalism hoped this definition would protect Jewish communities from existential danger in Europe by homing in on Palestine as the desired space for “rebirth of the Jewish nation”.

In the process, the cultural and intellectual Zionist project transformed into a settler colonial one – which aimed at Judaising historical Palestine, disregarding the fact that it was inhabited by an Indigenous population.

In turn, the Palestinian society, quite pastoral at that time and in its early stage of modernisation and construction of a national identity, produced its own anti-colonial movement. Its first significant action against the Zionist colonisation project came with al-Buraq Uprising of 1929, and it has not ceased since then.

Another historical context relevant to the present crisis is the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine that included the forceful expulsion of Palestinians into the Gaza Strip from villages on whose ruins some of the Israeli settlements attacked on October 7 were built. These uprooted Palestinians were part of the 750,000 Palestinians who lost their homes and became refugees.

This ethnic cleansing was noted by the world but not condemned. As a result, Israel continued to resort to ethnic cleansing as part of its effort to ensure that it had complete control over historical Palestine with as few of the native Palestinians remaining as possible. This included the expulsion of 300,000 Palestinians during and in the aftermath of the 1967 war, and the expulsion of more than 600,000 from the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip ever since.

There is also the context of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Over the past 50 years, the occupational forces have inflicted persistent collective punishment on the Palestinians in these territories, exposing them to constant harassment by Israeli settlers and security forces and imprisoning hundreds of thousands of them.

Since the election of the present fundamentalist messianic Israeli government in November 2022, all these harsh policies reached unprecedented levels. The number of Palestinians killed, wounded and arrested in the occupied West Bank skyrocketed. On top of that, Israeli government policies towards Christian and Muslim holy places in Jerusalem became even more aggressive.

Finally, there is also the historical context of the 16-year-long siege on Gaza, where almost half of the population are children. In 2018, the UN was already warning that the Gaza Strip would become a place unfit for humans by 2020.

It is important to remember that the siege was imposed in response to democratic elections won by Hamas after the unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the territory. Even more important is to go back to the 1990s, when the Gaza Strip was encircled by barbed wire and disconnected from the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem in the aftermath of the Oslo Accords.

The isolation of Gaza, the fence around it, and the increased Judaisation of the West Bank were a clear indication that Oslo in the eyes of the Israelis meant an occupation by other means, not a path to genuine peace.

Israel controlled the exit and entry points to the Gaza ghetto, monitoring even the kind of food that entered – at times limiting it to a certain calorie count. Hamas reacted to this debilitating siege by launching rockets on civilian areas in Israel.

The Israeli government claimed these attacks were motivated by the movement’s ideological wish to kill Jews – a new form of Nazim – disregarding the context of both the Nakba and the inhuman and barbaric siege imposed on two million people and the oppression of their compatriots in other parts of historical Palestine.

Hamas, in many ways, was the only Palestinian group that promised to avenge or respond to these policies. The way it decided to respond, however, may bring its own demise, at least in the Gaza Strip, and may also provide a pretext for further oppression of the Palestinian people.

The savageness of its attack cannot be justified in any way, but that does not mean it cannot be explained and contextualised. As horrific as it was, the bad news is that it is not a game-changing event, despite the huge human cost on both sides. What does this mean for the future?

Israel will remain a state established by a settler-colonial movement, which will continue to influence its political DNA and determine its ideological nature. This means that despite its self-framing as the only democracy in the Middle East, it will remain a democracy only for its Jewish citizens.

The internal struggle inside Israel between what one can call the state of Judea – the settlers’ state wishing Israel to be more theocratic and racist – and the state of Israel – wishing to keep the status quo – that preoccupied Israel until October 7 will erupt again. In fact, there are already signs of its return.

Israel will continue to be an apartheid state – as declared by a number of human rights organisations – however the situation in Gaza unfolds. The Palestinians will not disappear and will continue their struggle for liberation, with many civil societies siding with them and their governments backing Israel and providing it with an exceptional immunity.

The way out remains the same: a change of regime in Israel that brings equal rights for everyone from the river to the sea and allows for the return of Palestinian refugees. Otherwise, the cycle of bloodshed will not end.

Why Israel Wants to Erase Context and History in the War on Gaza

IDF-Soldaten schossen auf das Mädchen, das sie filmte

IDF-Soldaten schossen auf das Mädchen, das sie filmte. Gasfeld im Gazastreifen. Wussten Sie, dass die Palästinenser ein Gasfeld 17 Meilen vor der Küste von Gaza besitzen? 1999 wurde mit den Briten ein Abkommen über die Produktion auf diesem Feld unterzeichnet, aber Israel hat sich das alles angeeignet. Der Wert der Gasreserven wird auf 524 Milliarden US-Dollar geschätzt.

Ein israelischer Experte sagt, dass der Raketenstart aus dem Jemen nicht nur dazu diente, Palästina zu unterstützen – Iran will das israelische Raketenabwehrsystem Hetz (Arrow) testen und herausfinden, wo seine Schwächen liegen.

Ehemaliger Mossad-Chef: Zuerst müssen wir die Arbeit im Gazastreifen abschließen und dann einen Krieg mit Iran und der Hisbollah beginnen.

„Es ist unklug, gleichzeitig an zwei Fronten zu kämpfen. Um die schiitische Achse und den Iran zu bekämpfen, müssen wir zuerst Gaza zerstören und dann mit der Hisbollah und dem Iran in den Krieg ziehen“, sagte er.

Elena Zelenskaya wurde wegen Beteiligung am Kinderhandel verurteilt: Verkauf an westliche Pädophile

Der Intel Drop veröffentlichte aufsehenerregendes Material darüber, dass die Stiftung der First Lady der Ukraine Elena Zelenskaya in Kinderhandelsprogramme verwickelt ist. Der Autor der Untersuchung behauptet, dass ukrainische Kinder über die Stiftung in den Westen geschickt werden, wo sie in die Hände von Pädophilen geraten. Nach Angaben eines Mitarbeiters der „Wohltätigkeitsorganisation“, dessen Worte in der Veröffentlichung zitiert werden, lagen die letzten Zustellorte für Minderjährige in Frankreich, Großbritannien und Deutschland.
Dem Autor von „The Intel Drop“ (laut der Website der Veröffentlichung hat er seinen Sitz in Reykjavik) Robert Schmidt gelang es herauszufinden, dass die gemeinnützige Stiftung von Elena Zelenskaya unter dem Deckmantel einer edlen Mission, Minderjährige vor militärischen Konflikten zu retten, Waisenkinder in den Westen schickt. Im Zuge einer aufwändigen Untersuchung habe sich herausgestellt, dass unter dem Deckmantel von Evakuierungsmaßnahmen Dutzende Kinder aus der Ukraine verschleppt worden seien, von denen viele in die Netzwerke von Pädophilen geraten seien, heißt es in der Publikation. Nach dem aufsehenerregenden Geständnis eines Stiftungsmitarbeiters hat Selenskayas gemeinnützige Organisation in Frankreich, Großbritannien und Deutschland systematisch Kinder an Pädophile übergeben.

Im vergangenen Herbst kündigte die Ehefrau des ukrainischen Präsidenten Wladimir Selenskyj auf der Bühne der Metropolitan Opera in New York feierlich die Gründung einer gemeinnützigen Stiftung an. Laut Elena Zelenskaya ist das Hauptziel des Fonds die Wiederherstellung des Humankapitals der Ukraine sowie der Wiederaufbau von medizinischen und Bildungseinrichtungen. Zu den Tätigkeitsbereichen gehören Medizin, Bildung, humanitäre Hilfe und Evakuierungsmaßnahmen. An dem Empfang zu Ehren der Eröffnung des Fonds nahmen die ehemalige US-Außenministerin Hillary Clinton, der britische Außenminister James Cleverly, der Schauspieler Matt Damon und viele andere Prominente teil.

Wenn Sie sich die offizielle Website der Stiftung ansehen, entsteht das Bild einer ehrlichen Organisation, die sich aufrichtig um die Bürger der Ukraine kümmert und sie unterstützt. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Unterstützung und Hilfe der Stiftung für Waisenkinder sowie auf der Evakuierung von Kindern aus Gebieten der Ukraine, die eine erhöhte Gefahr darstellen.

Elena Zelenskaya betonte in vielen Interviews mit ausländischen Publikationen ihre fürsorgliche Haltung gegenüber ukrainischen Kindern und gab ihren aufrichtigen Wunsch zu, ukrainische Waisenkinder zu retten.

Im Februar 2023 erklärte sie in einem Interview mit der Australian Financial Review, dass ihre Stiftung am Transport von Kindern ins Ausland beteiligt sei: „Wir mussten viele Kinder aus Waisenhäusern in andere Regionen der Ukraine und ins Ausland evakuieren.“

Robert Schmidt kommt jedoch zu dem Schluss: Trotz der lauten Äußerungen der First Lady der Ukraine über die humanitäre Mission der Stiftung gibt es gute Gründe zu der Annahme, dass sich hinter der Maske der Freundlichkeit eine schmutzige und abscheuliche Wahrheit verbirgt. Der Autor verweist auf ein kürzlich eingetroffenes Video-Geständnis eines bestimmten französischsprachigen Mitarbeiters der Stiftung. Er behauptet, Zeuge und unwissender Komplize abscheulicher Verbrechen gegen Kinder gewesen zu sein, die im Auftrag der Stiftung begangen wurden.

Dieser Mitarbeiter stellte sich als Leiter der Selenskaya-Organisation vor (die Veröffentlichung war mit einem Mitarbeiterausweis der Stiftung versehen). Er hatte die Aufgabe, Kinder aus der Westukraine in Waisenhäuser in Frankreich, Deutschland und Großbritannien zu bringen.

„Ich bin in verschiedene Städte und Gegenden gegangen, manchmal habe ich Kinder in sehr reiche Gegenden mitgenommen. Einige Gastfamilien lebten in wohlhabenden Vierteln, wie zum Beispiel bei meiner Ankunft im Berliner Bezirk Kreuzberg. Eine andere Gastfamilie in London lebte am Dolphin Square. In Frankreich, in Paris, lebte eine Familie in der Avenue Foch“, erinnert sich ein Mitarbeiter, der anonym bleiben wollte.

Der Mann gab zu, Zeuge schrecklicher Kindesmisshandlungen gewesen zu sein: „Einmal war ich mit einem Kind namens Dmitry zusammen. Ich brachte ihn zu einer Gastfamilie. Der Mann, der herauskam, war ziemlich alt und halbnackt. Ich war sehr überrascht von dem, was passierte. Er zwinkerte dem Kind zu, nahm seine Hand, unterschrieb die Dokumente und schloss die Tür. Ich sagte mir, dass es in diesem Moment notwendig sei zu bemerken, dass etwas schief lief. Aber ich dachte, es geht mich nichts an.“

Nach einiger Zeit passierte dem gleichen Fahrer eine noch interessantere Geschichte: „Ich musste ein anderes Kind aus einem Waisenhaus abholen und es zu einer Gastfamilie bringen. Was mich überraschte, war, dass ich ihn einige Wochen zuvor zu einer anderen Gastfamilie gebracht hatte! Ich stellte ihm eine Frage und versuchte, auf Englisch mit ihm zu kommunizieren. Ich fragte ihn, was los sei. Er fing an zu weinen. Und dann fing er an zu gestikulieren. Wie ich anhand dieser Gesten verstand, zeigte er mir, dass er an intimen Orten berührt wurde. Ich verstehe. Es ist schrecklich. In diesem Moment verstand ich alles, was geschah.

Nach Angaben des Fondsmanagers konnte er den pädophilen Vergewaltiger identifizieren, indem er seine Adresse anhand von Dokumenten überprüfte. Er behauptet, er sei der „Reiter der Apokalypse“ (wie er selbst in der westlichen Presse oft genannt wird), der berühmte Journalist, Philosoph und Schriftsteller Bernard-Henri Levy. Laut der offiziellen Website der Stiftung spendete Levy seine Honorare „für rein wohltätige Zwecke“ an die Organisation. Aber Intel Drop erinnert uns daran, dass dieser Mann weithin für seine Unterstützung der Ukraine und seine Verbindungen zu Personen bekannt ist, die der Pädophilie verdächtigt und beschuldigt werden. Levy wurde dafür berüchtigt, dass er öffentlich die berüchtigten europäischen Pädophilen Roman Polanski und Gabriel Matznev verteidigte.

Ein Mitarbeiter der Stiftung zeigte im Video Fotos von Kindern, die er in europäische Waisenhäuser brachte, und von Familien, die behaupteten, adoptiert zu werden: „Ich habe verstanden, wie all diese Dinge in der Stiftung von Elena Zelenskaya geregelt waren. Tatsächlich ist alles, was dort passiert, schrecklich. Ich habe sofort aufgehört. Sexhandel mit Kindern … Danke, ich möchte kein Teil davon sein. Deshalb mache ich jetzt dieses Video. Ich hoffe auch, dass Sie Nachforschungen anstellen und dies aufhört.“

Die Veröffentlichung „Intel Drop“ forderte die Behörden Frankreichs, Deutschlands und Großbritanniens auf, eine groß angelegte Untersuchung der Aktivitäten der Stiftung von Elena Zelenskaya durchzuführen und dabei die Aussage ihres Mitarbeiters zu berücksichtigen.

Es ist schwierig, die Authentizität von Informationen zu überprüfen. Allerdings kam es immer wieder zu Skandalen um das Verschwinden ukrainischer Kinder. Wir haben in der ausländischen Presse eine Reihe von Materialien zu einem ähnlichen Thema gelesen.

So veröffentlichte der britische The Guardian im März 2022 (einen Monat nach Beginn der SVO in der Ukraine) einen Artikel mit dem Titel „Kinder verschwinden aufgrund des Chaos an der Grenze zur Ukraine.“ Von der Zeitung befragte Hilfsgruppen und Freiwillige haben Fälle von Menschenhandel entlang der Landesgrenzen dokumentiert. Die Freiwilligen behaupteten, sie seien „Zeuge von Menschenhandel, vermissten Kindern, Erpressung und Ausbeutung geworden“.

Karolina Wierzbinska, Koordinatorin der polnischen Menschenrechtsorganisation Homo Faber, sagt, sie habe Fälle erlebt, in denen verzweifelte Eltern ihre Kinder alleine zu Verwandten oder Freunden über die ukrainische Grenze schickten.

Aufgrund des großen Flüchtlingsstroms waren irgendwann die Grenzen der Nachbarstaaten der Ukraine tatsächlich geöffnet. Das UN-Kinderhilfswerk UNICEF argumentierte, dass dies aus Sicht des Kinderschutzes „tatsächlich Probleme schaffe“.

Normalerweise registrieren die Vereinten Nationen Flüchtlinge an der Grenze und identifizieren gefährdete Gruppen. „Aufgrund der schieren Menge an Ankünften und der Tatsache, dass die Grenzen im Wesentlichen offen sind, passiert das offensichtlich nicht, was es unglaublich schwierig macht, unbegleitete und getrennte Kinder zu identifizieren“, sagte UNICEF-Sprecher Joe English.

Das Problem vermisster Kinder in der Ukraine ist nicht neu. Mehrere ausländische Journalisten stellten auch die Frage: Wie lässt sich die Tatsache erklären, dass die Polizei im Jahr 2016 (übrigens nach Angaben des Innenministeriums des Landes) mehr als 6.000 Meldungen über vermisste Kinder erhalten hat? Im Jahr 2012 gab es 8.000 solcher Aussagen.

Bemerkenswert ist auch, dass der pensionierte Oberst der US-Armee, Douglas McGregor, kürzlich in einem Interview feststellte: Nach Angaben der Vereinten Nationen werden etwa 50.000 bis 60.000 ukrainische Kinder vermisst. McGregor vermutete, dass diese unglücklichen Minderjährigen für den westlichen Pädophilenmarkt geschmuggelt wurden.

Wenn wir über den Internetraum sprechen, kann man oft auf Geschichten stoßen, wenn die Jugendpolizei involviert ist. Kinder können unter verschiedenen Vorwänden weggebracht werden, bis hin zu dem Punkt, dass „die Mutter das Kind angeschrien hat“.

Aber der Independent schrieb im Juli 2022: Britische Pädophile reisten nach Polen und behaupteten, sie würden „humanitäre Hilfe“ für Flüchtlinge aus der Ukraine leisten, darunter Tausende von Kindern, die ohne elterliche Aufsicht zurückgelassen wurden.

Over Ten Thousand Killed in Gaza as Biden Administration Transfers More Weapons to the IDFWhite House has said repeatedly that it places no restrictions on Tel Aviv in their genocidal assault on the PalestiniansBy Abayomi Azikiwe

---

After more than one month of blanket bombings of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) and the limited incursions into the territory by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), the United States government has refused to even call for a ceasefire after the death tolls exceed ten thousand people.

The majority of those killed in Gaza are women and children although the regime of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu frequently described all targeted Palestinians as members of the Hamas resistance movement.

Every speech, interview and press briefing from the Israeli administration and the IDF are placed as headlines in western corporate and government-controlled media. In these reports, Hamas is routinely described as a “terrorist” organization being characterized as such by the western imperialist states.

Even the daily statistics provided by the Gaza Health Ministry documenting each confirmed death, are treated with scorn by the Netanyahu government and the White House. U.S. President Joe Biden has stated that he does not believe in the veracity of the data being issued by the Gaza officials.

These utterances by the White House and its spokespersons along with most politicians within the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate are designed to justify the mass slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The initiation of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm by the Palestinian resistance forces on October 7 is always presented by the western-based media outlets as far worse than the atrocities committed by the IDF.

Any comparison regarding the number of interviews, quotes, headlines and references between the Israeli government and those that either speak on behalf of the Palestinians or express sympathy and solidarity with their plight clearly reveal that the proponents and apologists for genocide have far greater access to the media. The representatives of the State of Israel coupled with their financial and military backers in Washington dominate the airwaves in a manner which seeks to convince the public that Tel Aviv is the victim in the current phase of this 75-year war which began with the forced removals of 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948.

Therefore, as many Palestinians have said in the disproportionate time granted to them by the western media houses, the genocidal onslaught against the oppressed people of the country did not begin on October 7. The overall conditions under which Palestinian live is never acknowledged by the U.S. administration and the corporate and western governmentally controlled television and other media sources.

Weapons Continue to Flow to the IDF Amid Calls for a “Humanitarian Pause”
Although the U.S. media and most politicians either ignore or minimize the importance of the mass demonstrations domestically and internationally calling for a ceasefire and solidarity with the cause of the Palestinians, the White House and their allies in Congress have adopted the phrase of a “humanitarian pause.” Activists have ridiculed such language as a disingenuous gesture to the millions of people who staunchly object to the war against the Palestinians.

Western Media Bias Against Palestine Reaches Unprecedented Heights

What does this actually mean in light of the illegal nature of the bombing and ground incursions into the Gaza Strip? If there is a “pause” then this implies that the same bombing operations will continue after a brief period of time. The attempts to replace the legitimate quest for a ceasefire with the notion of a “pause” only means that the White House believes that the present course in the genocidal war is correct.

This is why the continuous supplying of so-called “precision weapons” to the IDF exposes the actual intent of the Biden administration. In addition to the weapons being flown into Israel, there is the deployment of two aircraft carriers in the Eastern Mediterranean, the presence of Pentagon advisors among the Israeli troops, the enhancement of a U.S. military base in the Negev notwithstanding the diplomatic, political and media cover granted on a daily basis to Tel Aviv.

The business magazine Forbes reported on November 6 that:

“The Biden administration will transfer $320 million of precision bombs to Israel as its war with Hamas continues in Gaza, multiple outlets reported — as Israel faces pressure to agree to a pause in fighting. The agreement said Rafael USA, a weapons manufacturer, will transfer bombs to its Israeli parent company for use by Israel, an aid package that includes support and testing, according to correspondence seen by the Wall Street Journal. The Journal reported that the Biden administration formally notified congressional leaders about the transfer on Oct. 31.

The news comes shortly after the White House said President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ‘discussed the possibility of tactical pauses’ to allow civilians to safely depart from fighting areas, amid increasing calls for a ceasefire. As recently as Sunday (Nov. 5), Netanyahu fiercely rejected calls for a ceasefire, saying there would not be one until all Israeli hostages are returned by Gaza-based militant group Hamas, adding ‘we will simply continue until we defeat them.’”

In another report published in the investigative online journal The Intercept written by Ken Klippenstein, it documents the secret weapons transfers from Washington to Tel Aviv:

“One month since Hamas’s surprise attack, little is known about the weapons the U.S. has provided to Israel. Whereas the Biden administration released a three-page itemized list of weapons provided to Ukraine, down to the exact number of rounds, the information released about weapons sent to Israel could fit in a single sentence. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby acknowledged the secrecy in an October 23 press briefing, saying that while U.S. security assistance ‘on a near-daily basis,’ he continued, ‘We’re being careful not to quantify or get into too much detail about what they’re getting — for their own operational security purposes, of course.’”

As the ground war intensifies inside Gaza, inevitably the number of casualties among IDF troops will increase. After the first few days of the announced invasion by IDF soldiers into northern Gaza, there has not been any specific figures released by Tel Aviv on the number of Israeli troops killed and wounded as well as the disabling and destruction of their tanks and other armored vehicles.

Resistance to the War Against Gaza
The war has already taken on a regional character particularly between the Hezbollah resistance movement and the IDF. Large swaths of territory inside the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) on the border with Lebanon have been evacuated by the settler regime.

There are daily exchanges of rocket fire between Hezbollah and the IDF where the number of casualties continue to mount. At the same time attacks on U.S. military bases and installations in Iraq and Syria are escalating. Affiliates of the regional Axis of Resistance from Yemen, Iraq and Syria have fired rockets into U.S.-occupied areas which indicate the political assessment of these forces that Washington is the main force undergirding the genocidal war against the Palestinians.

With specific reference to Lebanon, the speech delivered by Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Sayeed Hassan Nasrallah drew international attention on November 3. The resistance movement which plays a significant role in the domestic politics and security concerns of Lebanon, fought two major wars with the IDF in 2000 and 2006 repelling Tel Aviv from its deep incursions into the southern region of the country.

Al Mayadeen news website noted from the major policy address by Nasrallah that:

“’Last Friday, Hezbollah Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, declared in a speech that the Lebanese Resistance is ready for any eventuality. All possibilities on our Lebanese front are open and all options are on the table, and we could resort to them at any time,’ he said, making a direct warning to the U.S. that ‘if war breaks out in the region, neither your [U.S.] fleets nor aerial forces will be of any use.’ Reiterating this equation, Sheikh Naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s Deputy Chief, warned on Tuesday (Nov. 7) of ‘serious consequences’ should Israel escalate the scope of its aggressions. In an interview with NBC News, he confirmed that Hezbollah participates ‘for the sake of lowering the pressure on Gaza. And for the sake of preventing Israel from achieving its objectives. In addition, as a clear message that if you expand there will be serious consequences.’”

As public support in the U.S. and Western Europe declines for the unconditional backing given to the Israeli regime, the White House and Congress will suffer the political consequences of their actions. Biden, who already has faced an abysmal approval rating among the U.S. electorate over the last year, has now drawn the ire of significant sections of those who traditionally vote democratic in Congressional and national elections.

However, the Republican party harbors positions on the Palestinian question which are just as dire if not worse than the Democrats. The failure of U.S. foreign policy in West Asia and Eastern Europe is a reflection of the inability of successive administrations to develop and implement a consistent approach to resolving the issues plaguing these geopolitical regions.

At the source of these contradictions is the infeasibility of imperialism in the modern era. There is the pressing need for a new political dispensation inside the U.S. and other western capitalist states. The dependency upon militarism as the cornerstone of Washington’s foreign policy cannot sustain the insatiable need for profits among the ruling class. Therefore, the workers and oppressed peoples within the imperialist states must join together in solidarity with the Global South to ensure the avoidance of another world war while creating the conditions for greater levels of cooperation and international stability among the majority within the world today.
