The number of incoming tourists to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories has fallen by 80% because of the war in the Gaza Strip. | Tourism in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories fell by 80% in the last three months of 2023, due to the war in the Gaza Strip and the cancellation of the majority of flights to and from Tel Aviv, according to a report by the Calcalist website. ● According to the report by this Israeli daily business newspaper, the number of tourists to the occupied lands has decreased to 180,000 in the last quarter of 2023. In December 2023 and the Christmas holidays, the number of incoming tourists to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories was only 53,000, which shows an 80% decrease compared to December 2022 when the number of incoming tourists to the region was 226,000. ● The Israel Ministry of Tourism predicted the arrival of about 900,000 foreign tourists for the last quarter of 2023. Since October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime has conducted relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip.

Warsaw fed “disinformation” to investigators and tried to blame the blasts on Russia, European officials have said | Polish officials withheld evidence and attempted to stall an international probe into the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, making investigators “suspicious of Warsaw’s role and motives,” the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. ● The Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas lines – which linked Russia with Germany under the Baltic Sea – were destroyed in a series of explosions near the Danish island of Bornholm in September 2022. A joint inquiry by Germany, Denmark, and Sweden is ongoing, with investigators theorizing that a Ukrainian team rented a yacht in Germany from a Polish company, which they used to transport explosives to the blast sites. ● When the investigators chased these leads in Poland, they found themselves stonewalled by government officials and law enforcement agents, the Journal reported, citing sources within the investigation.

The commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Gholam-Ali Rashid, stressed that Tehran will not hesitate to give a “crushing and decisive response to ‘Israel’ if it attacks the country.” | “Iranian commanders will have a free hand to respond to any possible ‘Israeli’ attack,” he said in an interview with khamenei.ir published on Sunday. ● Elsewhere in the interview, Rashid said former top Iranian anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani succeeded in making an important achievement in support for the resistance forces in Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, Yemen and Syria. 💬 “General Soleimani raised hope among the Iraqi and Syrian governments that they were capable of defeating the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group which was a very important step in the fight against terrorism.” General Rashid said former US President Donald Trump accepted responsibility for General Soleimani's assassination to make himself a “national hero”. [...] The top Iranian commander said the CIA, Mossad and the British and Saudi spy agencies created Daesh which occupied parts of the Syrian and Iraqi territories by abusing internal chaos and lack of security in the two countries.

Bill Gates’s former vaccine scientist has come forward to blow the whistle on a deeply disturbing depopulation agenda. | The health carnage thus far seen from the COVID-19 vaccine campaign is only the first round in a series of horrors that are still soon to come. ● Former Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation scientist and vaccine expert Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche has blown the whistle to investigator Steve Kirsch and made horrifying predictions of looming population losses. ● Bossche is warning what the world can expect soon as the general public continues to increasingly suffer major health complications related to the Covid mRNA injections. 💬 “The mutations are no longer restricted to spike protein, which indicates enhanced activity of CTLs (cytotoxic T cells) to diminish viral infectiousness,” Bossche told Kirsch about the most recent mutations being detected. “And that CTL activity is responsible for the decline of T cells that in fact boost the neutralizing antibodies that prevent virulence.” [...] “Ultimately, this evolution would inevitably lead to the emergence of a highly virulent variant that would cause waves of hospitalizations and severe disease in highly vaccinated countries – of course, always the same, only in highly vaccinated countries,” Bossche stressed. [...] “In my humble opinion, what we will see is something completely, completely unprecedented in terms of the magnitude of the wave of morbidity and unfortunately mortality that we will see.”

In the counter-espionage mission undertaken by the National Intelligence Organization against MOSSAD, it has come to light that seven distinct GSM lines used by the Cyber Operations Center (IÇOM) of the Israeli Intelligence Service were successfully deciphered. | It was disclosed that MOSSAD established contacts through these lines, revealing names closely associated with the Hamas leadership. Among the arresting information in the investigation file are details about the manager of an organization providing scholarships to Palestinian students and a health support personnel dealing with injured and needy individuals brought from Palestine. ● Many of the apprehended individuals in the operation provided detailed accounts of their actions on behalf of MOSSAD. [...] It was determined that MOSSAD, in contact with suspects in Türkiye through these lines, continued communication through Telegram, Whatsapp applications, and social media accounts. It was noted that MOSSAD aimed to target Palestinian nationals and their families residing in Türkiye in all its activities.

A group of nearly 100 Chilean lawyers, mostly of Palestinian descent, has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. | The complaint alleges crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes committed in Gaza. Led by former ambassador Nelson Hadad, lawyer Rodolfo Marcone, and academics Roberto Mayorga, Juan Banderas, and Hassan Zeran, the group presented the complaint on December 22 in The Hague, with assistance from criminal lawyer Juan Carlos Manriquez. ● The complainants, who belong to the largest Palestinian community outside of the Palestinian State, are demanding an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and other individuals responsible for these alleged crimes. Nelson Hadad stressed that these crimes have been ongoing for nearly 90 days, with indiscriminate bombings targeting the population of Gaza and destroying entire residential neighborhoods, without distinguishing between civilians and combatants.

An excellent video by [Jewish] Max Blumenthal. He tells 99% of the story, he describes the crimes of the Jewish state with immaculate precision and perfect details. However, he omits to mention some most crucial parts, namely the real perpetrators and the reason and motivation behind their crimes. The perpetrators are not just “Israelis”, They are Jewish “Israelis”. ● Furthermore, there are about 1.5 million Palestinians who live in Palestine occupied in 1948, who are forced to be called “Israelis” and those Palestinians have nothing to do with the genocidal crimes of Jewish “Israelis”. ● Moreover, violent Jewish American supremacists are not necessarily “Israelis”, they are simply Jewish Americans. Violent Jewish American supremacists are not necessarily “Israelis”. ● The second missing point in the video is the Jewish ideology that animates the perpetrators of these atrocities. ● A third one is the wanton destruction of schools, hospitals, and historic and religious buildings such as churches and mosques. ■ The Expression of Hatred for Gentiles (Richard Edmondson/Nahida Izzat)

Yemen has vowed to continue to prevent the passage through the Red Sea of all ships that are owned by Israel or heading to the regime's ports as long as the ongoing genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip goes on. | "We affirm that no Israeli ships or [ships] linked to it or heading to its ports [in the occupied territories] will pass [through the Red Sea], and we are serious about that," Mahdi al-Mashat, the head of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, said on Saturday.

💬 "Our armed forces are the guardian of the Red Sea and behind them are 40 million fighters from our people ready and present for confrontation," Mashat said, adding, “We will continue to prevent [the passage of] Israeli ships or those heading to the Zionist entity's ports, and we will not stop until the aggression and siege of Gaza stops.” "Preventing the navigation of the Zionist enemy is a Yemeni choice to impose peace and [ensure] a dignified life for [Palestinian] people in Gaza," he added.

The Yemeni official stated,

💬 "If the United States is committed to protecting the Israeli enemy, then we affirm that we are committed to protecting and supporting our brothers in Gaza and are ready for all possibilities, and all options are available."

“Israeli” officials are in talks with Rwanda and Chad to receive Palestinians pushed out of the Gaza Strip, the “Israeli” news site Zman Yisrael reported on Friday. | Both countries expressed a basic agreement to continue talks, according to unnamed sources, unlike other countries which have refused in principle. According to the “Israeli” outlet, the initiative is spearheaded by the foreign ministry and Mossad. ● The basic outline of the initiative is to give a generous financial grant to any Palestinian who expresses a desire to leave Gaza, along with extensive aid to the receiving country, including military aid. On Wednesday, “Zman Yisrael” reported that similar talks were held with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which appeared less willing to accept that offer.

The secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah says Israel is concealing the “heavy losses” it has suffered in the war on the southern Lebanese border as the resistance movement’s operations against the occupying regime are “very exhausting.” | Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks in a televised speech on Friday as he addressed a memorial ceremony for late Hezbollah official Mohammad Yaghi (Abu Salim) in Lebanon's eastern city of Baalbek. ● Nasrallah also offered his condolences on the martyrdom of Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy head of the Hamas politburo, in an Israeli drone strike in southern Beirut as well as the martyrdom of scores of Iranians in Daesh-claimed twin bomb attacks in the southern city of Kerman. ● “The killing of Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri will undoubtedly not go unanswered or unpunished, the decision lies in the hands of the field and it will undoubtedly be implemented,” Nasrallah warned. ● The Hezbollah chief also said remaining silent about such a “grave violation” would expose all of Lebanon to greater harm than any potential risks from responding in the battlefield.

London, which accuses Moscow of violating UN Security Council resolutions, should remember its neocolonial actions, including aggression against the population of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, and military aid to Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed. | The official made a statement commenting on British Defense Minister Grant Shapps' assertions that "the world has turned its back on Russia." ● The British minister made the remarks in connection to unsubstantiated allegations regarding the use of "DPRK missiles." Shapps also accused Russia of violating multiple UN Security Council resolutions, despite Moscow's stern denial of such innuendos. 💬 "Here is just a short list of London's neocolonial actions of recent times: the participation of British land and air forces together with the Americans in the aggression against Yugoslavia, in the destruction of Iraq and its population, Libya, Afghanistan, the bombing of Syria, and now - supporting the Kiev regime, which in violation of all resolutions on non-delivery of weapons to conflict zones the Anglo-Saxons are supplying with lethal weapons. But Shapps is right about one thing: 'This must end,'" Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.

Probably you’ve read about the joys of DPI while browsing the websites of the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and other benevolent reservoirs of international altruism dedicated to creating a safe, convenient, equitable, inclusive, and extremely sustainable world. | If we remove the extraneous word salad from the above blockquotes, the driving philosophy behind DPI can be summarized as: Cattle-tags aren’t just safe and convenient, they’re a human right. I am pointing this out because Vladimir Putin announced at November’s G20 summit that “the development of digital public infrastructure” was a “priority” for the Russian Federation.

A note explaining the retraction of the claim that Hamas militants had specific orders as to “which commander should rape which soldiers” indicates the publication censored itself at the behest of the Israeli government. | The Washington Post has quietly removed an outlandish claim by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that Hamas battle plans included specific instructions on which Israeli troops should be raped during their October 7 incursion. ● In the original article, which was published on November 12 and promoted as a Washington Post “exclusive,” Gallant is quoted as telling the outlet: “We know from interrogations that Hamas came in with detailed plans of their attack, including which commander should rape which soldiers in different places.” A day later, the allegation disappeared from the piece, which had been amended to include the following “correction”: 💬 “A previous version of this article included a quote from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that was not authorized for publication. The quote has been removed.” The act of self-censorship was seemingly first spotted by a social media user who suggested that the embarrassing incident was the result of what they described as “the Israeli way” of propaganda: “Privately lying to a journalist to shape her coverage, then scrambling to correct the record when the journalist accidentally prints the lies you told her in confidence.”

The outline of the massacre’s initial falsification and suppression, followed by its eventual disclosure, is cobbled from My Lai: Vietnam, 1968, and the Descent into Darkness (Oxford, 2017), a thorough retreatment of the infamous Vietnam War atrocity by Howard Jones, | Has the voluminous, careful study in the literature devoted to the My Lai massacre left something out? It’s not a matter of omissions, the historian argues, but that the record is replete with conflicting interpretations. To tell the “full story” required Jones to reorder events in their “proper sequence,” he says. His other reasons for taking us back to Pinkville are equally vague, and casually embedded among several floating asides in the author’s Acknowledgments. His debts are many, but foremost among them Jones recognizes his Vietnamese-American graduate assistant who “emphasized the importance of incorporating the Vietnamese side into the narrative and remaining objective in telling the story.”

Seoul [South Korea], January 5 (ANI): South Korea's military said North Korea fired some 200 artillery shells into waters off its western coast on Friday morning, Yonhap News Agency reported. | After North Korea's move, an emergency evacuation order for civilians on the South Korea's border islands of Yeonpyeong and Baengnyeong was issued. Furthermore, the South Korean military conducted live-fire artillery drills. ● The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the artillery firings from Jangsan Cape, north of South Korea's Baengnyeong, and Deungsan Cape, north of South Korea's Yeonpyeong, from 9 am to 11 am (local time). ● The shells crossed into the maritime buffer zone north of the Northern Limit Line (NLL), the de facto maritime border. The buffer zone was set under an inter-Korean military accord signed on September 19, 2018, in order to reduce border tensions, according to Yonhap News Agency report.

In a new show of rift inside the “Israeli” cabinet that gathered overnight on Friday to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip after the war against Hamas ends, the meeting was reportedly cut off after Knesset members clashed with the military establishment over investigation of the mistakes that led to October 7. | Miri Regev, Minister of Transport and Road Safety, pointed out that the decision over the probe had been made without Knesset members knowledge and argued that the army should be fully focused on the combat in the moment. ● The question of the post-war Gaza uncovered the deep ideological divide within the coalition as the right-wing ministers, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and so-called “National” Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, have promoted the idea of Gazans' permanent displacement and return of “Israeli” settlements into the Strip. ● The investigation is said to include former War Minister Shaul Mofaz. The decision angered the far-right politicians due to his involvement in the disengagement from Gaza back in 2005. Dismissing the criticism toward the army’s probe, Benny Gantz, a former Chief of Staff and War Minister, reportedly responded: “This is a professional investigation, what does it have to do with the disengagement [from the Gaza Strip in 2005]?” “The chief of staff is ‘f***ing’ investigating into what happened now to serve the goals of the war and our ability to prepare for a conflict in the north. This is not a ‘national’ investigation.” ● An unnamed minister told Hebrew media outlet KAN that “it was a despicable discussion that exploded. They attacked the army. Some senior members of the ‘defense’ establishment left in the middle.”

According to a report by the Government Media Office, "Israel" has dropped 65,000 tons of explosives and missiles on Gaza in three months. | "Israel" has dropped 65,000 tons of explosives and missiles on Gaza in three months, which outweighs and is more powerful than three nuclear bombs that the US dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, a report by Gaza's Government Media Office revealed. ● In more detail, the report said that the "occupation aircraft dropped over 45,000 missiles and giant bombs, some of them weighing two thousand pounds of explosives, during the comprehensive genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, deliberately targeting entire residential areas." ● The deliberate targeting of civilians is further proven by the occupation's use of "dumb bombs"; i.e. imprecise and unguided bombs. ● Moreover, the occupation used at least nine types of internationally prohibited missiles in the Strip, including the repeated use of white phosphorus which has been intensely criticized and condemned.

Call your representative and tell them to support H.Res. 934 | A resolution introduced in the House last month calls for the US to drop the charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who faces up to 175 years in prison if extradited to the US and convicted for journalism that exposed US war crimes. ● The bill, introduced by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), expresses “the sense of the House of Representatives that regular journalistic activities, including the obtainment and publication of information, are protected under the First Amendment and that the federal government should drop all charges against and attempts to extradite Julian Assange.”

Tehran has not officially attributed blame for the attack, which targeted a commemoration for Gen. Soleimani in the city of Kerman | Iran has vowed a “harsh response” to the bombing in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman that killed at least 103 people, including women and children, but has not formally attributed blame for the attack. ●&nbspThe bombing targeted a memorial commemorating the fourth anniversary of the US killing of Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani, who was targeted by a US drone strike in Baghdad on January 3, 2020. Iranian officials have said two separate bombs were placed in bags on the side of a road leading to a cemetery where a large crowd of people was heading. [...] Israel is a suspect in the bombing since it has a history of conducting sabotage attacks, assassinations, and drone attacks inside Iran and recently killed a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander in Syria, as well as a senior Hamas official in Beirut. Israel also appears to be attempting to provoke a regional war that would draw in the US.
