Just came across this skwawkbox article (which appears to have just been posted as there’s no comments yet):
«YouTube censors EI programme examining UK role in Israel’s genocide in Gaza
Content platform places ‘freeze’ on Electronic Intifada’s channel
The YouTube content streaming platform has placed a sudden ban on the Electronic Intifada channel, just as it was preparing to stream a Gaza update looking at the role of Britain in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. EI’s Asa Winstanley explained in an email to followers:
YouTube has just placed a punitive freeze on The Electronic Intifada’s channel, alleging that several previous livestream segments violated their opaque “community guidelines.”….»
On the one hand it´s disastrous.
On the other, expected.I was always amazed how that worked: EI conversations (which are among the best stuff on this issue) & YT?
Not match-made in heaven for sure.Who owns YT anyway?
And what would happen if they decided to push honest programming on Gaza?Which brings us to the ICJ.
If we all agree that there is mass murder taking place.
But we can´t enforce that verdict.
How is this thing supposed to work?According to state philosophy that´s the role of the Executive.
But in international law where the likelihood for huge crimes is biggest we have no executive.That´s like a Catch-22.
It makes zero sense.They get shot so, lets talk about it in the lobby and fetch a latte afterwards?
wtf.next one: Larry Johnson banned on YT allegedly (haven´t checked it yet.)
It´s like “Christmas with the censors!”
Cool times!Here’s the JVL introduction to an article they reposted yesterday:
Return to Zanuta
Attention has rightly been focussed on Israeli army invasion and destruction of refugee camps in the northern West Bank. However, we must not lose sight of the continued struggle in the South Hebron Hills against some of the most violent settlers.
The residents of village of Zanuta won a rare legal victory and gained permission to return to their homes. Hamdan Ballal Al-Huraini documents their legal campaign and recounts accompanying the villagers. He found that although they were delighted to return they found their homes and property had been vandalised by settlers and the harassment continued.
And here are a couple of passages from it:
“When I arrived in Zanuta, I knelt and kissed the dirt,” Muhammad Al-Samamra, a 45-year-old resident, told +972. “I feel like a child who had lost his way from his mother and only found her after a long period of time. I’ve returned to life again after 10 months — and I will not leave. I will sleep on the soil of my village and lean on its rocks, and I will never abandon it again.”
For 57-year-old Faris Samasara, this was a long-awaited moment. “For now, only the men and boys have returned, and we will see in the coming days how we will bring the women and children safely,” he said. “But today, I will sleep here and watch the sky over my home and count the stars. In the morning, after so long, I will finally see the sun rising in my village. It is an indescribable feeling.”

Here are a couple more articles reposted by JVL, both yesterday, one by the Guardian (published on Sept 10), and one by +972 Magazine editor Ben Reiff (published on Sept 11):
‘I’ve never seen the depth of moral corruption’: controversial Netanyahu doc screens at Toronto
Despite a legal attempt to stop it, documentary The Bibi Files, which shows leaked interrogation footage of the Israeli prime minister, made its debut at the festival.
by Radheyan Simonpillai, The Guardian
Audiences got a look at Benjamin Netanyahu’s leaked police interrogation videos for the first time at last night’s world premiere of The Bibi Files. The urgent and incendiary documentary played at the Toronto film festival despite the Israeli prime minister’s attempts to block its screening.
Israeli courts rejected Netanyahu’s request before the film – in which he is seen furiously denying allegations of bribery and corruption…

Why did a British Jewish newspaper publish fake Israeli intelligence?
Israel’s army suspects fabrications published in the Jewish Chronicle were part of a pro-Bibi influence campaign, while the article’s author is not as he claims.
by Ben Reiff, +972 Magazine
On Sept. 4, Benjamin Netanyahu called a press conference for foreign media in order to explain his stubborn insistence on keeping Israeli forces in Gaza’s Philadelphi Corridor, even at the expense of a hostage deal. To his well-worn claim that the Gaza-Egypt border has historically been “porous” to the smuggling of weapons, the prime minister attached a new argument: if the Israeli army is not in control of the area, Hamas could “easily smuggle hostages out … to the Sinai desert,” and from there to “Iran or … Yemen.” After that, he added, “they’re gone forever.”
The following day, the Jewish Chronicle, Britain’s oldest Jewish newspaper, published an exclusive report that brought Netanyahu’s hypothetical argument to life. It purported to reveal evidence from Israeli “intelligence sources” proving not only that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar intended to smuggle out the remaining hostages via the Philadelphi Corridor to Iran, but that Hamas’ surviving leaders in Gaza, including Sinwar himself, would be going with them…

“Until our last breath”: Journalist Anas al-Sharif on Documenting Israel’s Genocide in Gaza Every Day for 11 Straight Months

Apparently Israel got their hands of the personal beepers of Hezbollah and made them explode. Dozens injured (killed?) throughout Lebanon today, apparently also the iranian ambassador to Lebanon. There seems to be no end in their machinations to kill and maim whoever stand in their way:
Dozens of Hezbollah members wounded after pagers explode in Lebanon
..and when Hezbollah now will return fire, the israelis will throwing their hands out and playing the victim.
Overall it seems Hezbollah has been infiltrated. This is no “hack” Israel got their hands on these beepers on way or another.
“The management of Beirut American Hospital collected pager devices from its employees 10 days ago, claiming that they needed to be repaired,” the Islamic Republic’s state TV said.
That’s a quote from a Telegraph article stating an Iranian state TV source. If true, it’s definitely convenient timing. Did they know something was about to happen? How did they contact doctors and nurses or put out crash calls without bleep systems?
What alternative did they use? Phones are no good as they are less reliable and require you to answer them which can be inconvenient when your busy, say, scrubbed up in theatre.ET
Reminds me of this odd incident on 9/11:
Israeli company Odigo says Workers Were Warned of Attack on 9/11
Odigo, the instant messaging service, says that two of its workers received messages two hours before the Twin Towers attack on September 11 predicting the attack would happen, and the company has been cooperating with Israeli and American law enforcement, including the FBI, in trying to find the original sender of the message predicting the attack.
Indeed, Jack. The question was asked on the Today Programme this morning of who carried out the pager attacks – Bowen replied, Israel, of course. No other country has the motive or technical expertise. The same question and answer is equally applicable to 9/11. I guess the last 12 months – if not 23 years – has enlightened many to the horrific Zionist ponerology, but not yet at the BBC whose presenters have often come across as apologists for the Israeli regime, but today they surpassed themselves, extolling the ingenuity and power of a State whose actions they now glorify.
Shibboleth
I have no doubt that Israel, at the the least, had some prior knowledge of the 911 attack but kept mum about it to benefit from it:
Report: Netanyahu Says 9/11 Has Been Good for Israel
https://www.democracynow.org/2008/4/17/headlines/report_netanyahu_says_9_11_has_been_good_for_israel
Not to mention, why what did the so called “dancing israelis” really do in the US? Why were they obivously enjoying the planes going into the WTC? Even taking photos of them standing in the foreground with big smiles in front of the burning WTC towers?
Were Israelis Detained on Sept. 11 Spies?
https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123885&page=1
While most people were in shock, here we have 5 israelis that posing, dancing and having fun while watching the WTC go up in fire. Why?Based on the impressions of the French website Panamza and subsequently MintPress, three of these photos — despite the heavy redaction and poor quality — appear damning. Since 2001, even though the photos were never released until now, it had been known that one of the Israelis arrested — Sivan Kurzberg — was seen in a photo “holding a lighted lighter in the foreground, with the smoldering wreckage [of the twin towers] in the background,” according to Steven Noah Gordon, then-lawyer for the five Israelis, as cited in a New York Times report from November 2001.

https://thegrayzone.com/2021/09/11/dancing-israelis-9-11-plotters-spies-scam-artists/
Not to mention, a study by the US army released 9/10 2001 – one day prior to the attack – claimed the following:
“Of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS officers say: “Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.”
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2001/sep/10/20010910-025319-6906r/
This video is also an eye opener, where FOX news have long segments of israeli intelligence spying within the US where they speak of hundreds of israeli agents being arrested prior and after the 911 attack:
Israel Spying on America
Yep, I remember listening to Christopher Bollyn speak fifteen years ago and he laid out the evidence cogently and comprehensively. I thought there were ample videos on YouTube, but they seem to have done some housekeeping since I last looked. I do not have any doubts that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by zionists, especially those masquerading under the banner of PNAC and evangelical Christians. Que Bono? Their pernicious ideology – which has permeated into the highest echelons of both the UK and USA administrations.
We react with horror at the suggestion of China or Russia interfering in UK politics or infrastructure, but when Israel subverts the political process, like it did with Corbyn, the media and establishment are triumphant.
Shibboleth
Yes, it is absurd how much brouhaha the alleged Russian interference generated meanwhile perhaps the most powerful lobby, representing a foreign power – Aipac (and similar organisation throughout Europe) – could rule unhindered in the US & Europe!?
These groups always trying to manipulate Western opinion that Israel’s enemies, is the enemies of the West, trying to get the West to fight wars that Israel do not want to fight; that is too risky. They do not care if Westerners die in these wars only if they themselves are saved. Just the other day I read how Israel promise asylum for Africans if the Africans sign up to high-risk operations in Gaza. Again, always some other race/ethnic group that should sacrifice for the interests of Israel:Israel recruits African refugees for Gaza operations in exchange for settled status
Military sources raise ethical concerns over the recruitment of asylum seekers for ‘life-threatening’ operationsI assume you have already read this gem below, which lay it out so well how Israel-firsters was the main group getting the US into the war in Iraq:
The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy
https://www.amazon.com/Israel-Lobby-U-S-Foreign-Policy/dp/0374531501Thanks Jack, I’ll put it on my reading list. Like most people, I’m staggered by the use of remote IEDs in Lebanon – whilst the media are besides themselves at Mossad’s ingenuity they’re not considering the consequences. If Israel can interrupt the supply chain, obtain goods and insert an explosive charge then sell it on, what can we trust in future? Tesla cars? Iphones? Laptops? Their malware/spyware can already access most computer data; it would be easy to identify and refine targets.
What’s to stop Ukraine, USA, UK, Russia, China – or anyone – from doing the same? Bad enough drones operated from the other side of the world, but this will finish the UN and ICC should they fail to act later today. All this because one terrorist knows he is finished if the war ends.
Shibboleth
Indeed, a bit off topic now but a fresh example might be this:

Israel might just have stopped the ICC investigation:

Warrants for war crimes requested by prosecutor Karim Khan have yet to materialisehttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-submits-legal-challenge-icc-warrants-claiming-it-should-investigate-itself
Basically, if an ICC accused state start their own investigation about the alleged crimes they have commited, ICC is likely to “drop” their investigation if they believe the x nation’s own invetigation is set to be objective, credible.Some different news:
ICC prosecutor says world leaders ‘threatened’ him over Israel arrest warrants

Just like many arab states turn away from Palestine so have Turkey and the reason seems to be money:
Erdogan’s deafening silence on Palestine
Turkish-Israeli trade volume has seen an astonishing 532 percent increase over the past two decades, reaching a staggering $8.91 billion in 2022. According to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) private trade system data, Turkiye’s exports to Israel in 2002 – the year the AKP came to power – were $861.4 million, while imports from Israel were $544.5 million.

Of course no condemnations by the western mainstream media/organisations. This war have really proved that human rights etc have no value whatsoever for the west – they have ZERO principles – it is so obvious, especially comparing how the western media would react if Russia forcefully shutting down media in Ukraine.
Good article on the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas failure to accomplish anything during his almost 20 year old rule.
The Fall and Fall of Mahmoud Abbas
How the Palestinian Leader Prioritized a Peace Deal Over Domestic Political Unity—and Got Neither
https://archive.is/88UK4#selection-1613.124-1613.202
Time and time again Abbas have succumbed and followed the wishes, demands by Israel. Just look at him today, some 40000+ of his own people killed in Gaza but he hardly say, do anything.
It was the same 2010 when:… Abbas was forced to relive the nightmare following the release of the Goldstone report, a UN-commissioned investigation into the Gaza war of 2008–9, which accused Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes. When the Goldstone report came up for a vote in the UN in late 2009, Abbas came under intense U.S. and Israeli pressure to ask his allies to delay the vote, which he did, setting off a firestorm.
UK bishops say Israel ‘acting as if it is above the law’
Four prominent Church of England bishops in the UK have issued a strongly worded letter accusing Israel of “acting as if it is above the law” in its treatment of Palestinians in the illegally occupied West Bank. The bishops, who all sit in the House of Lords in Westminster, have called for robust measures to ensure Israel’s compliance with international law.
In their letter, the bishops highlight the “drastic acceleration and intensification of settlement construction, land confiscation and home demolition in the West Bank,” which they say is “exacerbating longstanding patterns of oppression, violence and discrimination against Palestinians.” They argue that there now seems to be “little distinction between settler violence and state violence.”

Turky and the rest of the arab/muslim region could, if they wanted, put enormours pressure on Israel by different type of sanctions.Interview with the Bosnian writer Lana Bastasic. She lives in Berlin and other cities.
On German daily BERLINER ZEITUNG“Bosnian author Lana Bastašić: “My idea of a free Berlin was deeply naive”
Lana Bastašić is a Bosnian author, born in 1986, who campaigns for the rights of the Palestinians. She is disappointed with Germany. An interview by Ilija Djurovic”She was a darling of the literary scene until she turned against the establishment with Oct. 7th
One of Germany´s biggest publishers dropped her after this article on the GUARDIAN, published Oct. 23rd 2023:“I grew up in Bosnia, amid fear and hatred of Muslims. Now I see Germany’s mistakes over Gaza
This article is more than 10 months old
Lana BastašićAs a child, I saw what follows ethnic cleansing. That’s why I am speaking out about my new home’s silence over Palestinian deaths”
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/23/bosnia-muslims-germany-gaza-ethnic-cleansing-palestinianAG
Absurd how the west blast such cancel-culture incidents in Russia but they themselves do it openly. What are they afraid of? This bosnian author just show compassion for the victims and for that she must be silenced and kicked out of the establishment!? It is like Germany and the west in general have drifted toward the authoritarianism of the 30s.
I assume there is zero criticism in the Bundestag against Israel but is there any political party in Germany that are critical of Israel outside of the Bundestag?
I googled and found some polls:68% of Germans oppose military support for Israel: Survey
57% of those questioned said Israel’s military response to the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7 has now gone too farhttps://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240810-68-of-germans-oppose-military-support-for-israel-survey/
Majority of Germans against Israel’s war on Gaza: Survey
Some 61% of Germans oppose Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, only 33% support it, according to poll by Forsa research institutehttps://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/majority-of-germans-against-israel-s-war-on-gaza-survey/3240216
Would you say that deep down germans are more critical of Israel than they perhaps dare/will admit openly?

In other news in my own nation the idiocy keeps on going: a right-wing politician from travelling to the West Bank and bowing down for an israeli settler. Look at the faces of the israelis that cannot hold back their laughter. Pure humilation. The right-wingers prove time and time again how stupid they are.
