Despite the announcement of a ceasefire, Palestinian blood continues to flow in Gaza without mercy or reprieve amid the relentless Israeli carnage. | Despite the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza, the Israeli occupation continues massacring Palestinians and destroying the Strip. ● In 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed three massacres across the Palestinian-besieged territory, killing 23 Palestinians and injuring 83 more. ● Although several victims were transported to the few partially functioning hospitals in Gaza, countless more remain trapped under the rubble as rescue operations have been rendered near impossible. ● This raises the death toll since October 7, 2023, to 46,899 Palestinians killed and 110,725 others injured.

Daniel Martindale, a US citizen who voluntarily supplied Russian troops with intelligence while staying in Kiev-controlled areas, sat down with Sputnik to give his thoughts on several pressing international issues, including America's domestic life. | “Since I came to Russia, I can express any of my political opinions and I don't have to fear any repression. It's really nice to be among friends,” US citizen Daniel Martindale - who voluntarily provided Russian forces with intel while staying in Ukraine-controlled areas - told Sputnik. ● Martindale unveiled his critical perspective on the 9/11 terrorist attacks and their broader implications. "A war never starts without someone dying," he told Sputnik, arguing that the attacks marked the beginning of "a war of the US secret services with their buddies from Israel against the populace of the United States."

💬 "When I see something like US secret services like the CIA [Central Intelligence Agency] working together with very possibly Israel's Mossad to murder over 3,000 civilians in the terrorist attacks, so-called terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, I want to know what they're up to. I want to know who they're trying to fight against," Martindale emphasized.

■ Israeli Strikes Kill 63 Palestinians in Gaza Amid Talk of Ceasefire Deal (Antiwar)

Marzieh Rahmani | This story is not just the story of Aisha but it is the common sorrow and grief of the Palestinian nation for the past 76 years; the oppressed nation whose ultimate wish is to see their motherland even one time before death. | A group of Mehr News Agency correspondents visited an art exhibition that the Iranian photographer Wahab Ramzi collected its photos from the Palestinian refugee camp at the Museum of Contemporary Palestinian Arts in Tehran. ■ In 2023, Iranian photographer Wahab Ramzi went to the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. During this visit, he encountered the life stories, dreams, and laughter of the Palestinians and saw their family albums. This museum is the result of his photography of Palestinian people living in 4 Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. ■ Entitled 'Keys Older Than Israel', the gallery exhibits pictures that Ramzi captured from the refugee camps in Lebanon. The pictures depict the life story of Palestinian refugees who kept their homes' keys in the hope of returning to their motherland, Palestine. Every picture in the exhibition tells the tragic story of Palestinian families who have been displaced by the Israeli regime in 1948. What is most painful and surprising is the fact that the keys in these pictures of older than the fake regime of Israel.

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt told the Israeli Knesset that the kind of "genius" behind the Jewish state's pager attack on Lebanon is now needed to fight "antisemitism." | From The Intercept, "ADL Chief Invokes Pager Attack as Inspiration for Taking on Internet Trolls": [According to Greenblatt,] Israel's backers need to think like Israeli spies who secretly installed bombs in electronics all over Lebanon, killing dozens and wounding thousands. 💬 "We need the kind of genius that manufactured Apollo Gold Pagers and infiltrated Hezbollah for over a decade to prepare for this battle," Greenblatt said. "This is the kind of ingenuity and inventiveness that have always been a hallmark of the State of Israel, that have always been a characteristic of the Jewish people. I know we can do it." [...]

A study released Thursday suggests the official Palestinian death toll in the Israeli war on Gaza may have undercounted casualties by 41% through mid-2024, due to the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system. | A study released on Thursday suggests that the official Palestinian count of deaths in the Israeli war on Gaza may have missed as many as 41% of casualties through mid-2024 due to the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system. ● Academics from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Yale University, and other institutions conducted the peer-reviewed statistical analysis published in The Lancet journal. ● The researchers employed a statistical technique known as capture-recapture analysis to estimate the death toll from the Israeli air and ground assault against Gaza during the first nine months of the war, spanning from October 2023 to the end of June 2024. ● The researchers estimated that 64,260 people died from traumatic injuries during this period, which is approximately 41% higher than the official count from the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza. ● The study indicated that 59.1% of the victims were women, children, and individuals over 65, but it did not offer an estimate of the number of Palestinian combatants among the deceased.

An alleged Biblical map of the Kingdom of Israel, shared by the Israeli Foreign Ministry's Arabic-language account on X, has touched off heated debates on social media and raised alarm among Arab officials. ■ What’s Behind the Commotion? The map depicts the boundaries of the ancient Kingdoms of Israel and Judah as described in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible. The biblical land overlaps with areas of modern-day Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. The post recounts the biblical story of the Kingdom of Israel, said to have existed 3,000 years ago, celebrates the revival of the Jewish people, and refers to Israel as "the only democracy in the Middle East." ■ Fierce Social Media Debate Erupts: Many Arab-language users criticized the map, arguing that the biblical version of Israel’s history is allegedly not thoroughly supported by archaeological evidence or other historical sources. Some netizens took issue with Israel’s claim of being the “sole democracy in the Middle East”. Some characterized the post as a provocation, accusing Israel of being what they call an "occupying power" and of having "stolen" the land from Arabs. ■ Arab Officials Blast Biblical Map as Deliberate Provocation: The PA: The Palestinian Authority condemned the map as a violation of international resolutions and laws. Jordanian Foreign Ministry: Amman denounced the map as "baseless" and "false," urging Tel Aviv to halt "provocative actions and reckless statements." Qatari Foreign Ministry: Doha warned that the publication of the map could undermine any peace prospects in the region, especially amid the ongoing Gaza war. ■ What is "Greater Israel"? Arab News associated the map with the concept of "Greater Israel," which envisions the expansion of Israel to the territorial boundaries outlined in the Tanakh. The Movement for Greater Israel was established after the Six-Day War of 1967, during which Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. The idea is popular with Israeli officials and the nation’s media. In 2024, Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that "the future of Jerusalem is to expand to Damascus." In September, The Jerusalem Post published an article suggesting Lebanon could be part of Israel’s "promised land," though the piece was later removed. Following the downfall of now ex-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Israel fully occupied the Golan Heights. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that this territory will remain an integral part of Israel "for eternity."

■ THE EXPRESSION OF HATRED FOR GENTILES (Richard Edmondson/Nahida Izzat) (10/04/14)

Lew Rockwell/Mises.org | The recent seizure of Syrian land on the Golan Heights by Israel is an ominous example of expansionism at its worst, in complete violation of property rights, if not a total human rights violation as well. | The international community has met the actions of Israel with cold silence. Most notably, the United States has been complicit in the aggression of Israel. The US State Department pronounced the seizure of Syrian land as “temporary” and “consistent with Israel’s sovereignty.” Without censure emanating from the international community, such aggression is bound to be encouraged and the rule of law undermined. Therefore, the seizure of the Golan Heights by Israel constitutes an aggression against Syrian territory, antithetical to liberty and property; a position libertarians must not fail to condemn.

Settlers set fire to a mosque in the village of Marda, north of Salfit in the West Bank, writing racist slogans on its walls. | At dawn Friday, Israeli settlers set fire to a mosque in the village of Marda, located north of Salfit in the West Bank. ● Local sources told the Palestinian WAFA news agency that the settlers raided the eastern part of the village, set fire to the Birr al-Walidain mosque, and vandalized its walls with racist slogans. ● The sources further reported that villagers managed to extinguish the flames before they could spread throughout the mosque, with the damage confined to its entrance. ● Sheikh Othman al-Din, the Director of Salfit Endowments, condemned the attack on the mosque as a criminal act against a house of God. He urged the residents to remain vigilant, fearing that settlers may repeat this cowardly act.

Israeli soldiers speak of the IOF spokesperson’s statements turning into a competition between the forces: "If the division kills 99 or 150, the next division in line will try to reach 200.” | Buildings that are marked as residences of Resistance fighters or "enemy deployment sites" in the Gaza Strip continue to appear on the army’s target list even after they have been attacked, the military affairs correspondent for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Yaniv Kubovich, revealed. This, according to Kubovich, makes civilians who enter the same building prone to attacks and labeled as “terrorists” after they are killed by IOF fire.

Following a pledge by former US President Donald Trump to penalize universities that failed to address pro-Palestine protests, many institutions have turned to firms with Israeli ties. | A report released on Saturday by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth disclosed that universities in the United States and Canada have partnered with Israeli security firms to suppress pro-Palestinian demonstrations on their campuses. ● According to the report, this trend began following the election of former US President Donald Trump, who vowed to penalize universities failing to control "radicals and Hamas supporters." In response, several academic institutions sought assistance from Israeli security companies or firms with Israeli ties to handle Palestine solidarity protests.

The Gaza Government Media Office has accused "Israel" of systematically targeting the territory's healthcare system, resulting in devastating consequences for medical personnel and facilities. | Over 1,000 doctors and nurses have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since last year, according to local authorities on Sunday. “Over 310 other medical personnel were arrested, tortured, and executed in prisons,” stated the Gaza Government Media Office. The statement further stressed that “the Israeli army also prevented the entry of medical supplies, health delegations, and hundreds of surgeons into Gaza.” The Media Office further accused the Israeli military of intentionally targeting hospitals to weaken Gaza’s healthcare system.

Mint Press News conducted an in-depth investigation into who writes America's "news," and the findings are shocking, though expected. | It turns out that hundreds of former Israeli lobbyists from groups like AIPAC (American-Israeli Political Action Committee), StandWithUs, and CAMERA are pretty much running the largest media organizations in the United States, including at MSNBC, The New York Times, CNN and Fox News. ● Specifically with news related to the Israel-Palestine situation, these embedded Israeli lobbyists are steering what millions of Americans believe about what Israel really is and what is really going on in the Middle East right now. ● "Many key U.S. newsroom staff were also formerly Israeli spies or intelligence agents, standing in stark contrast to journalists with pro-Palestine sentiments, who have been purged en masse since October 7, 2023," reports Mint Press News.

Israel's Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry sent 'special report' to Dutch PMs ahead of parliament session that discussed violent incidents initiated by Amsterdam-based Maccabi supporters, media reports | Security units in the Netherlands have expressed discomfort over Israel's attempts to influence and meddle in the country’s political affairs, according to local media. ● Israel's Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry sent a "special report" to Dutch members of parliament ahead of a session that discussed violent incidents initiated by Amsterdam-based Maccabi supporters, according to a report published on Friday by the prominent Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. The Israeli report claimed that linked Dutch organizations were involved in these incidents and were pro-Hamas. Dutch Justice and Security Minister David van Weel confirmed the existence of the Israeli report, De Volkskrant reported. ● Using Israel's report, Chris Stoffer, a member of parliament from the Reformed Political Party (SGP), proposed a motion to designate Dutch organizations that Israel has labeled as pro-Hamas as terrorist organizations and add them to a sanctions list, De Volkskrant stated.

A top UK surgeon broke down while recounting his experience at Gaza's Nasser Hospital during an evidence session on the healthcare situation in what was once the largest city in the State of Palestine.

💬 "What I think I found particularly disturbing was that a bomb would drop, maybe on a crowded, tented area, and then the drones would come down," Professor Nizam Mamode told the UK Parliament during the International Development Committee's session before he was overcome with emotion. ● "I can only imagine just how it has impacted you and it will continue to impact you, I feel, because you can't unsee what you've seen but being able to share that with us really helps us hold legislators, particularly, to account," Champion added before Mamode continued.

In the clip, Committee Chair Sarah Champion then stepped in to thank the former surgeon for attending the session to help hold legislators accountable.

💬 "The drones would come down and pick off civilians, children, and we had description after description," Mamode said. "This is not an occasional thing; this was day after day after day, operating on children who would say, 'I was lying on the ground after a bomb had dropped and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me and shot me.'"

Orit Strock said, 'national rights over this land belong only to the Jewish people' | Israeli Minister of Settlements and National Missions Orit Strock has said she’s working to ensure Israel can annex as much land in the West Bank as possible during the incoming Trump administration but said the Palestinians that live there don’t have rights to the land and shouldn’t have the right to vote. [...] Trump’s appointment of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel signals the administration will back annexation. ● Huckabee is an Evangelical Christian who believes God gave historic Palestine to the modern state of Israel. He denies Israel is occupying the West Bank, which he called “Judea and Samaria,” and has previously claimed that there’s “no such thing as a Palestinian” and argued the Palestinians should be expelled to other Arab states. ● In Huckabee’s first interview with Israeli media after Trump announced he would be the envoy to Israel, the former governor was asked if the administration would support annexation of the West Bank. He said, “Of course … There has never been an American president that has been more helpful in securing an understanding of the sovereignty of Israel… and I fully expect that will continue.”
