Murtaza Hussain and Ryan Grim | Leaked emails show the details behind talks between Cote d’Ivoire and Israel shepherded by Ehud Barak and Jeffrey Epstein | On September 12, three months later, Epstein met with Ouattara’s niece Nina Keita, whom he had known since at least 2002; as a young fashion model in Jean Luc Brunel’s Karin Models agency, she had traveled on his “Lolita Express” plane between New York and Paris. After Keita’s visit, records show that Epstein went straight to the Regency Hotel in New York for a private meeting with the Israeli defense minister. ● The next month, Epstein flew to Africa. In a note to his assistant, he instructed her to arrange to switch planes in London before flying to Côte d’Ivoire, Angola, and Senegal. There are no flight logs documenting the Africa trip. ● The flurry of visits appeared to pay dividends for Epstein, Barak, and the Israeli government. Two weeks after Epstein’s trip to Africa, the Ivorian Interior Minister Hamed Bakayoko was in Tel Aviv to meet with Barak and discuss a bilateral security accord focused on intelligence and cybercrime. ● Barak has previously claimed his “private investments” with Epstein were conducted as a private citizen and unrelated to official Israeli state affairs. The documents released by the House in October, however, suggest that Epstein played the same “fixer” role while Barak was still the sitting Defense Minister of Israel. Barak did not respond to a request for comment.

Asa Winstanley | A judge with ties to the pro-Israel lobby will lead the new panel on the case. | Campaigners are alleging a “stitch-up” after the British judge who was to consider the legal challenge to the ban on Palestine Action was replaced at the last minute. ● The Electronic Intifada has learned that a judge with ties to the pro-Israel lobby will lead the new panel on the case. A three-day hearing began on Wednesday and is due to conclude on Tuesday. ● Before the change, High Court Justice Martin Chamberlain, an expert on free speech law, had been set to rule on whether or not to overturn the government’s ban on Palestine Action as a “terrorist” group. ● But on Wednesday last week, he was abruptly replaced by a panel of three – Victoria Sharp [Jewish], Karen Steyn and Jonathan Swift. For a judge to be replaced so close to the hearing date is unusual. ● High Court Judge Victoria Sharp’s twin brother Richard Sharp [Jewish] sits on the board of trustees of charity One Million Mentors alongside Trevor Chinn, a key British funder of pro-Israel groups. [...] As a barrister in the 1980s, Victoria Sharp was instructed by Mishcon de Reya, a law firm which later represented the Israeli government and pro-Israel groups in the UK and has worked to fight boycotts of Israel in the courts. ● In a case she took on instruction from founder Victor Mishcon, starting in 1987, she is reported to have been one of the “principal advisers” to newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell – who was later revealed to have been a spy for Israel.

David Hearst | In a speech filled with Islamophobic vitriol, the British commentator has ripped away the last fig leaf concealing Zionism's true purpose | Phillips has gone far beyond the realms of liberal Zionism. She recently gave a chest-thumping account of what she thinks is at stake at a conference in New York City, entitled “Rage Against the Hate”. All the hate seemed to be coming from the platform, but there was no parody intended in the title. Phillips declared that it was time to reveal a few home truths. These words are the inevitable precursor to a PR disaster for supporters of Israel, which is what her speech has since become.

✅ Melanie Phillips: Jews Worldwide Must Put 'The Jewish People and The Jewish Nation' First (Chris Menahan)

Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir has called for the assassination of Palestinian Authority officials and for PA President Mahmoud Abbas to be placed in solitary confinement if the UN advances the recognition of a Palestinian state.

As the minister of national security, Ben Gvir oversees Israeli prisons, where at least 98 Palestinians have died since October 7, 2023, according to new data, due to torture, food deprivation, medical neglect, and other Israeli abuses.

Antony Loewenstein | After more than two years of war, Jewish support for Israeli atrocities in Gaza requires accountability, moral clarity and an urgent reckoning across Israel and the Diaspora [...] With an Israeli Jewish population that overwhelmingly views all Palestinians in Gaza as suspect, if not outright hostile, the need for this moment is clear. It's hard to describe what the post-7 October 2023 environment has been like in many Jewish communities. ■ It has ranged from outright hostility towards any publicly expressed criticism of the Netanyahu regime to, perish the thought, any Jew disagreeing with the stated policies of an Israeli government that repeatedly announced its desire to eradicate all Palestinians. ■ And then there are the ethical contortions around the proper way a modern, humane Jew should feel about Israeli soldiers proudly celebrating killing, destruction and rape in Gaza, the West Bank and beyond. ■ What, exactly, is the moral quandary in condemning genocidal behaviour and intent?

Israeli troops have planted and detonated explosives in two homes near a Lebanese army checkpoint in the southern region of Hula. [...] In recent weeks, the Israeli military has intensified near-daily airstrikes across southern Lebanon, despite the truce agreed upon in November 2024. ● Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah on November 27, 2024, after suffering heavy losses on the battlefield and failing to achieve its goals despite killing over 4,000 people in Lebanon. ● Since then, the Israeli military has kept attacking Lebanon on an almost daily basis and has refused to withdraw its occupation troops from the Arab country.

Caitlin Johnstone | Israeli settlers were filmed torturing lambs which belonged to Palestinians in the West Bank. Gouged their eyes out. Smashed them with cinder blocks. Beat them to death in front of their mothers. Lambs. | It’s not the most evil thing the Israelis have done. Not by a long shot. Hell, all of human civilization subjects animals to cruel abuses every minute of every day through the horrors of factory farming. But this particular incident shines a special sort of light into exactly what’s going on behind Israeli eyes over there in that sadistic society. [...] Israel cannot be sustained without nonstop violence. The violence cannot be sustained without hatred. The hatred cannot be sustained without systematic indoctrination. ■ That indoctrination teaches Jewish Israelis from birth that the victims of their genocidal state are all inhuman monsters who would rape and murder them all if Israel ceased its apartheid abuses, militarism, and incessant violence. It teaches them that killing off their empathy and compassion is essential for their survival, because only the Jews who are willing to do whatever it takes to survive are going to make it. ■ Just in case their childhood indoctrination isn’t enough to sway them, Israelis are also made to serve in the military where they spend two years killing off any remaining sense of human decency within themselves as they inflict acts of unfathomable cruelty upon Palestinians as part of their duty to the state.

9/11, Torture & Iraq war for israel | Dick Cheney, a driving force behind the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 who was considered by presidential historians as one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history has died at age 84, his family said in a statement on Tuesday. Cheney died Monday night from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, his family said. ● The Republican - a former Wyoming congressman and secretary of defense - was already a major Washington player when then-Texas governor George W. Bush chose him to be his running mate in the 2000 presidential race that Bush went on to win.

✅ Cheney on CIA torture: “I’d do it again in a minute” (Patrick Martin)(15 December 2014)

Israel Shahak / Oded Yinon, "The Zionist Plan for the Middle East" - 23 - Iraq, rich in oil on the one hand and internally torn on the other, is guaranteed as a candidate for Israel's targets. Its dissolution is even more important for us than that of Syria. Iraq is stronger than Syria. In the short run it is Iraqi power which constitutes the greatest threat to Israel. An Iraqi-Iranian war will tear Iraq apart and cause its downfall at home even before it is able to organize a struggle on a wide front against us. Every kind of inter-Arab confrontation will assist us in the short run and will shorten the way to the more important aim of breaking up Iraq into denominations as in Syria and in Lebanon. In Iraq, a division into provinces along ethnic/religious lines as in Syria during Ottoman times is possible. So, three (or more) states will exist around the three major cities: Basra, Baghdad and Mosul, and Shi'ite areas in the south will separate from the Sunni and Kurdish north. It is possible that the present Iranian-Iraqi confrontation will deepen this polarization.

Do you notice how nobody’s losing their jobs or getting deported for criticizing the genocidal atrocities in Sudan? How mainstream western politicians are able to call out the RSF and the UAE without having their careers nuked by high-powered lobby groups? How the western media aren’t churning out op-eds concern trolling about the possibility that anyone who opposes the el-Fasher massacres is actually a closet Nazi?

That’s the difference, right there. That’s why many westerners have been paying special attention to Gaza.

Israel Shamir | The late saint of the communist calendar, Rosa Luxemburg, often called her opponents ‘Shabbos-goyim,’ meaning servants of the Jews. A Shabbos-goy is a non-Jew who toadies to every wish and whim of the Jews, especially in politics, or a non-Jew who is heavily supportive of Israel, says the dictionary. They are a breed apart. | One can argue about how successfully Jews rule the countries they lead. There are more- and less-successful examples. Usually, Jewish rule is good for the king and his coterie, and bad for the ordinary Tom, Dick and Harry. The policies of a foreign cosmopolitan elite might be resisted by the majority population of any country, but once a class of Shabbos goyim has been developed, nobody is able to escape Jewish rule, inevitably ruining the country. That happened with Poland; it was a mighty kingdom that had successfully fought Russia and Turkey. But the Poles allowed the Jews to manage their country, and in no time, Poland collapsed and was partitioned. This happened with Russia; heavy Jewish influence had brought it to the very brink of collapse in 1991, and only with great difficulty was Putin able to stabilise the country. Since the 2014 American coup Ukraine has been ruled by Jews, and now it is being destroyed. ■ The United States is a country ruled by Shabbos goyim, starting with LBJ, that is, after Nixon. Donald Trump, seemingly an imposing man of respectable age, height and weight, also turned out to be a Shabbos goy. He admitted that much himself when speaking in the Knesset. It turns out that he most often met with a couple of American Jews, casino owners, and they had financed his path to the White House. Even young Kushner, his son-in-law, and older Kushner, his father-in-law, a well-known and convicted fraudster (like most Jewish businessmen), and now the US ambassador to Paris, determine Trump’s actions. Their plan is to destroy Gaza and build a country club for Jews on its ruins, and make a fortune from it.

Larry Ellison and a constellation of billionaires will finally get their way, buying the very app they wanted to kill a year ago for being too 'pro-Palestinian' | A year ago, powerful critics in Congress and the tech world were complaining that TikTok was promoting anti-Israel messaging and were suggesting it needed to be shut down. ● Turns out it didn't need to be eliminated. TikTok is a message force multiplier after all, and only requires, apparently, the right people to own it. Like Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, the second richest man in the world and the single biggest private donor of the Israeli Defense Forces, who has referred to the state of Israel as his own. He has direct stakes in a head spinning galaxy of news, television and Hollywood media companies, mainly through the recent Paramount Skydance Corporation takeover, a mega conglomerate now run by his son David Ellison (who is reportedly on the cusp of making vigilantly pro-Israel journalist Bari Weiss a top exec at newly-acquired CBS). Ellison the elder also is a major stakeholder in X and Tesla.

The Sumud Flotilla marks the fourth attempt to break Israel’s starvation blockade on Gaza this year, but the first time that multiple vessels are involved. | Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced on Wednesday that Spain will join Italy in sending a military warship to help the Global Sumud Flotilla, which is attempting to deliver aid to starving Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip and came under drone attack following threats from the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

💬 “Last night, multiple civilian boats were targeted by unmanned drones,” the Global Sumud Flotilla said on Wednesday. “The attacks included the deployment of explosive and incendiary devices, deliberate dispersal of chemical substances onto civilian vessels, disabling of emergency communication devices, and calculated physical damage designed to render the ships unseaworthy and endanger volunteers aboard.”

The group added that all of its crew remain safe. According to a flotilla tracker, the flotilla consists of 52 boats, and the majority of them are currently right off the coast of Crete. Two boats previously came under drone attack when they were in Tunisia. ● Italy was the first country to announce it was deploying a warship to aid the flotilla, citing the presence of Italian citizens on the boats. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said that to “ensure assistance to the Italian citizens on the flotilla,” he had “authorized the immediate intervention of the Italian Navy’s multi-purpose frigate Fasan.”

Laurent Guyénot | In just a couple of days, an impressive amount of information has been brought to light pointing to Israel’s strong motive to take out Charlie Kirk ASAP. I will here compile that information, as I found it on X and other Internet outlets. [...] In any case, Charlie Kirk was slowing turning, and he had been turning faster in the last few months. He had been the most pro-Israel MAGA influencer, together with Ben Shapiro, drawing millions of young people behind him. But his followers and others had been noticing that he was starting to ask embarrassing questions for Israel, about October 7th, about the “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza (he used the term, and “not lightly”), about the Epstein files, and about Israeli censorship in the media. [...] My tentative conclusion is simply based on a rational assessment of Israel’s interest in removing Kirk as soon as possible, and having Shapiro take up his “blood-stained mic”. How high were the stakes is well expressed in this 19-minute breakdown by Propaganda & Co.

Max Blumenthal | A month before Charlie Kirk’s killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others “hammered” Kirk for the conservative leader’s growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli “blackmail,” sources say, as he contemplated a Catholic conversion. | The Grayzone has spoken to five people with intimate knowledge of Kirk’s meeting with Ackman, which was held in early August. According to one source, Kirk was left upset after the gathering turned into an “intervention” where he was “hammered” for his increasingly skeptical views on the US special relationship with Israel, and for platforming prominent conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events.

The Israeli regime is moving forward with a long-anticipated major ground invasion of Gaza City, but around one million Palestinians are resisting the occupying force’s attempts to forcibly displace them from their homeland. | Hebrew-language media reported that the ground offensive — code-named Gideon’s Chariots ll — was initially expected to begin after a mass evacuation of Gaza City but the Israeli military launched the aggression late on Tuesday by killing at least 16 Palestinians, including women and children, in heavy strikes on the city. ● The Israeli regime said it had struck more than 150 targets in Gaza City since the onset of its ground assault, with thousands of Palestinians having been forced to flee down a single coastal road to the center of the Strip. ● The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said Israeli forces also struck al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital in Gaza City late Tuesday night, hitting its upper floors three times in succession.

There is an understandable level of skepticism about the 22-year-old alleged to have fired the shot that killed Charlie Kirk. | The spin coming out of the FBI and local law enforcement is painting Tyler Robinson as a radical leftist acting on his own. I have no evidence to disprove that claim, but there are some other things that suggest an alternative motive. I want to call your attention to the latest from Max Blumenthal and Anya Parampil at the GrayZone: Charlie Kirk refused Netanyahu funding offer, was ‘frightened’ by pro-Israel forces before death, friend reveals. I am posting the first three paragraphs of the article (and I encourage you to read the rest):

💬 Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity. The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question Israel’s overwhelming influence in Washington and demanded more space to criticize it.

💬 In the weeks leading up to his September 10 assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said. Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb.

💬 According to Kirk’s friend, who also enjoyed access to President Donald Trump and his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel’s behalf. “Charlie was the only person who did that,” they said, recalling how Trump “barked at him” in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes the incident confirmed in Kirk’s mind that the president of the United States had fallen under the control of a malign foreign power, and was leading his own country into a series of disastrous conflicts.

■ Charlie Kirk Refused Netanyahu Funding Offer, Was ‘Frightened’ by Pro-Israel Forces Before Death, Friend Reveals

Philip Giraldi | The President declares that he “can do anything”—To be sure, Donald J Trump is an ignorant monster who will do his best to shred the US Constitution and destroy our republic before he is finished. Yes, he can do anything, including sending federal troops to occupy our cities on the pretext that there is too much crime going on. | Last week Donald J Trump declared that as president of the United States, he believes he has the “right to do anything I want to do.” The assertion explains a lot in terms of how an unhinged Trump regards himself and his office and it should serve as a warning that more ego driven inanity is yet to come. Trump’s most heinous crimes are related to foreign policy, most particularly his complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians as well as his continued arming of Ukraine to prolong the slaughter in its war with Russia. It now appears that Trump might be arranging to arm Kiev with US manufactured “extended range” cruise missiles capable of hitting targets deep inside Russia, to include both Moscow and St Petersburg. In a typically bizarre outburst Trump has opined that Ukraine is losing because it has been on “defense” and needs to shift its thinking of taking the “offensive” which the US will apparently assist. And Trump continues to throw threats about sanctions and military action at virtually everyone in the world that he encounters. Can World War 3 be creeping ever nearer, replete with nuclear weapons on the front line?

Israel Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has admitted on TV the Israeli government deliberately withheld food and other aid from 1.5 Million people in Gaza, for two and a half months! It gets worse. | In the video below, Smotrich brags,

💬 "We conquer, cleanse, and stay... On the way, we annihilate everything that still remains.….We're breaking Gaza apart, leaving it as a pile of rubble, total unprecedented destruction."

The video below is in the Hebrew language, but it has English sub-titles. From those sub-titles, we learn that the intentional infliction of starvation was a deliberate government action - which most rational people would find to be not only disgusting, but a "war crime" and a "crime against Humanity."

Occupation 101: Voice of the Silenced Majority is a 2006 Award-winning documentary film on the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The film depicts life in occupied Palestine under Israeli military occupation. ■ Synopsis: A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict — ‘Occupation 101′ presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions. ■ The film focuses on the effects of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and discusses events from the rise of Zionism to the Second Intifada and Israel’s unilateral disengagement plan, presenting its perspective through dozens of interviews, questioning the nature of Israeli-American relations — in particular, the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, and the ethics of US monetary involvement. ■ Occupation 101 includes interviews with mostly American and Israeli scholars, religious leaders, humanitarian workers, and NGO representatives — more than half of whom are Jewish — who are critical of the injustices and human rights abuses stemming from Israeli policy in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.

According to the Zionist newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, in a report published by the Palestinian news agency Ma'an, Cyprus is witnessing an unprecedented wave of public outrage against Israelis and “Zionism,” as Israeli property purchases continue to expand. | The paper notes that amid warnings about a coordinated Zionist-Israeli plan for territorial dominance, the issue has become a central topic in Cyprus’s political and media discourse. ● The controversy peaked during a conference of the left-wing AKEL party, Cyprus’s second-largest political party, where the party’s Secretary-General Stefanos Stefanou used harsh language against Zionists and warned that property acquisitions — especially near strategic areas and critical infrastructure — posed a serious threat to Cyprus’s sovereignty. ● He said what is happening in Cyprus is similar to what occurred in Palestine — where Zionists gradually took over land through real estate purchases. [...] He emphasized that these warnings are not rooted in hatred or antisemitism, but in a real fear of territorial loss.

💬 "You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel…" (Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache)
