Israel has decided the internet is not safe.

Its ironic really. Israel has been known for at least a decade for being a cyber spy. Their surveillance tech is what gave them the edge these past 20 years. From the Promise software putting a back door in most government pc's to project Topiat, giving them the keys to important infrastructure, like the American electrical grid.

Now it seems they don't trust their own email accounts. We have come full circle!

This is a good reminder. If the billionaire-funded satanists who basically control the internet understand the insecurity of digital communications, so should we. Of course I'm referring to only the most private/personal material.

I'm sure most of us are following the same updates but if anyone hadn't seen, this news follows recent reports of leaked documents close to the PM's office in Israel. I don't know what to make of the debacle but it seems like evidence of Israel's further division and self-inflicted implosion:

With Operation Al-Aqsa Flood entering its second year, it is necessary to remind of the following:

The majority of zionist enemy casualties are zionist officers and soldiers, indicating the valor of the resistance, the honor of its struggle, and the precision of its capabilities.

The majority of the martyrs in Palestine and Lebanon are civilians, highlighting the cowardice and disgrace of the zionist enemy and its departure from all humanitarian norms.

We pledge to the pure blood of the leaders and symbols of the resistance, especially to Nasrallah the most exalted and sacred, and Sinwar, the purest and most exalted. We make a firm vow to remain steadfast on the path of resistance and to double all efforts and sacrifices required by the current stage, until the complete victory is achieved, by the will of Allah.- Abu Alaa Al-Walae:

Any embassies of US & Israel must be burnt down in Muslim countries. Recently they arrested a senator and many other protestors in my country who were protesting in front of US embassy. This is the message from Palestinians for escalation after the annihilation of the north. All governments are puppets, this sight is really bizzare from lebanon

Bill Clinton's VILE Anti-Palestinian Racist Speech

The Clintons and Trump were best of friends and they were all best of friends with Epstein. So it's not unreasonable to think that Clinton was trying to sabotage Harris.

Not that he's worth defending, but he has no choice but to side with Israel. Briefly forgetting he had over 30 flights on Jeffery Epstein's plane. His affair with Monica Lewinsky was a Zionist honey trap from the beginning.

Remember her?


Clinton originally tried to deny it, until Israel showed him the evidence. All of Bill and Monica's "adult" calls were logged and used to leverage him.

Clinton is probably on tape with many different kids, knowing he was a frequent flyer on JE's plane. But he's been in Israels pocket since 97, if not before.

I'm not trying to defend this man. Just saying "this" is why Israel owns DC and Bill is not alone.

AFP reports it has spoken to a witness to the arson attack in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Al-Bireh, near Ramallah.

Ihab al-Zabin, a resident of the building damaged in the attack, which also saw about 20 cars torched, told the news agency he saw around ten people he identified as settlers “pouring liquids on vehicles in front of the building and then setting them on fire.”

He said “I yelled from my apartment, and at that moment they ran away. When I went down with my neighbours to put out the fire, settlers shot towards us.”

AFP reports that Laila Ghannam, governor of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, told journalists at the scene “there could have been a massacre in this building”, which residents say housed more than 60 people. She said the attacks were increasing because the settlers were treated by Israeli authorities with “impunity”.

About 490,000 settlers live in settlements considered illegal under international law in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967. About three million Palestinians live in the occupied West Bank territory.

Israeli media reports that graffiti left nearby during the attack said “war on Judea and Samaria”. Settlers often refer to the West Bank as Judea and Samaria, after two ancient Israelite kingdoms. These terms are also used administratively by the Israeli government.

Graffiti left on a wall of a Palestinian house in Hebrew reading “war on Judea and Samaria at the Al-Bireh site where Israeli settlers.

Rami Omar, head of the local civil defence office, said the incident happened at 3.30am, and an Israeli security official told AFP notification of the incident came at 4am. Israeli police and the Shin Bet have said they are investigating.

Al-Zabin said he saw the arsonists run away towards the nearby Israeli settlement of Beit El.

In a statement the UK-based Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) group has said that all three hospitals in northern Gaza are under attack.

In the statement is said:

All three remaining hospitals in northern Gaza are under attack. Kamal Adwan hospital has come under direct artillery fire, resulting in the serious injury of a child. Al Awda hospital has also been shelled, and Indonesian hospital hit by drone strikes. ⁠The Israeli military is killing and injuring hundreds of Palestinians a day and the patients in need of lifesaving care in northern Gaza are now left helpless under siege.
These latest attacks by Israeli forces are part of a sustained assault on Gaza’s health system, amounting to war crimes and the crime of extermination. Israel is making Palestinian survival in northern Gaza impossible as part of a policy of sustained pressure and forcible expulsion. The international community must not allow this brutality to go unchallenged.

An earlier statement today by the Hamas-led health ministry in Gaza said that all three hospitals had been put out of operation.

The statement from the Gaza’s government media office, reported by Al Jazeera and Israeli media, said the “northern district is devastated due to the ongoing Israeli aggression.”

It claimed that about 1,800 Palestinians had been killed and about 4,000 others wounded as a result of IDF operations in the north of the Gaza Strip over the past three weeks. It has not been possible for journalists to independently verify the casualty figures being issued during the conflict.

It accused the Israeli army of “continuing to destroy civilian infrastructure”, and halting the vaccination campaign for children in northern Gaza “as part of its destruction plan.”

It described the area as “disaster-stricken”. The claims have not been independently verified.

A statement on Friday signed by the heads of UN agencies, including the UN children’s agency Unicef and the World Food Programme, and other aid groups, warned that “The entire Palestinian population in north Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine and violence.”

Why don't the Gazans simply hop over the border into friendly muslim Egypt rather than stay in Gaza?

Israeli forces used civilians as human shields in Gaza, Palestinians and soldiers say
Palestinians describe being forced to carry out life-threatening tasks by Israeli forces in Gaza.

For two weeks in late July and early August, said Mohammed Saad, 20, he and two other Palestinian men were forced by an Israeli army unit in Gaza to enter buildings feared to contain explosives and photograph every inch before troops were given the all clear to enter.

When the soldiers were done with him, he said, someone shot him in the back.

Saad was among four Palestinian men who spoke on the record to provide vivid accounts of what they described as Israel employing detained Palestinians as human shields in Gaza — defined by the Geneva Conventions as using civilians or other detainees to shield military operations from attack — in this case, by forcing them to carry out life-threatening tasks to reduce risk to Israeli soldiers.

Their nearly contemporaneous accounts are detailed, corroborated by other witnesses, and consistent with testimony by an Israeli soldier who fought in Gaza, and with interviews collected by Breaking the Silence, an organization that works with troops who have served in the occupied Palestinian territories. They described a practice in which Palestinians are detained, interrogated and ultimately released, indicating the Israeli army did not believe them to be militants. They described events that took place between January and August.

“This wasn’t something that happened just here and there but rather on a large scale throughout a number of different units, at different times, throughout the war and in different places,” said Joel Carmel, advocacy director of Breaking the Silence, an organization that collects and verifies testimonies from troops who have served in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Israel Defense Forces did not respond to any of the specific allegations made by the men in this story, but said in a statement that the use of civilians as human shields was prohibited. “The IDF works to address concrete allegations of violations that deviate from the directives and values expected of its soldiers and address them accordingly,” the statement said. The military would not say if any of its forces had been investigated or disciplined for using Palestinians as human shields, or if steps had been taken to eliminate the practice.

Under international law, the use of civilians and other protected people as human shields is a war crime. Israel’s high court has ruled the practice is illegal. On Oct. 16, in response to a New York Times article, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said reports that the Israeli army is using human shields were “incredibly disturbing” and that perpetrators need to be “held accountable,” but did not comment on whether the United States was examining the reports independently. American law requires that the U.S. government suspend military support for Israeli units credibly implicated in gross human rights violations.

Washington Post reporters interviewed the four named Palestinians in this story within days or weeks of the events they described. They spoke by phone from Gaza. The Post corroborated elements of Saad’s story through medical records and with a U.S. physician who treated him in Gaza during a follow-up appointment to care for his wounds. Three other Palestinians, who described an incident inside Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital complex, spoke to The Post separately and confirmed the presence of one another. The Post was connected with the Israeli soldier through Breaking the Silence, and a reporter interviewed him in person.
Breaking the Silence also provided what it said was visual evidence of the practice. A photograph from northern Gaza shared by the group shows soldiers standing next to two prisoners the group says were being used as human shields. The men sit on the ledge of a blown-out window in a shattered building — wrists tied, eyes covered and heads bowed.

‘Our hands were tied and our eyes were covered’
More than 43,000 Palestinians have been killed during Israel’s military operations in Gaza, according to the local Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants but says the majority of the dead are women and children. The Israeli army says more than 350 soldiers have been killed in its war against Hamas, some by booby traps or ambushes laid by militants in urban areas.


The Israeli soldier, who is in his 20s and served in northern Gaza, recalled the moment his commander brought two Palestinians to him, cuffed and blindfolded, to be used as shields. One was a teenager, he said, while the other appeared to be in his 20s. “I asked why we need them,” the soldier said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
He remembers his commander replying that it would be better if the Palestinians were killed by any potential booby traps and that the lives of Israeli soldiers were more important.
For Saad, the ordeal began in June, he said, when he was detained near the Kerem Shalom border crossing, in southern Gaza, where he had been working as a paid guard protecting humanitarian aid from looters. “Without warning, five military jeeps surrounded us,” Saad said. “Our hands were tied and our eyes were covered.”


The soldiers interrogated Saad for several days, he said, before taking him and two other Palestinians to an Israeli army base near an abandoned U.N. warehouse near Rafah, along the Egyptian border. “You are here to perform some tasks for us, ” Saad recalled one of them saying. “You will be in front of us every time we storm a house.”
He said he was given an Israeli military uniform with a camera attached to the helmet. For 14 days, Saad recounted, he was the first one sent into buildings, ordered to film as he went, often with a drone buzzing over his head. The soldiers outside monitored the footage and told him where to go through an earpiece.
“I finished the first mission in about half an hour, and then they asked me to leave,” he said. “I was very afraid because I did not know who was in the house, and I was wearing a military uniform.” If there were militants inside, he thought, “I would surely die.”


He said he was blindfolded and cuffed each morning, then transported to the next location. On the second day, an explosion rocked a building after Saad checked it. The soldiers believed he had misled them on purpose.
“They tied my hands and threw me on the sand,” he said. “They took turns beating me. I still don’t know where the explosion came from.”
Once, Saad said, the captain of the unit showed him a photograph of his destroyed family home in Khan Younis. “If you do not cooperate with us, we will kill all your family members like this,” he recalls the man telling him.
The 15th day was different, he said: He was handed civilian clothes and instructed to start walking. Soon after came the blinding pain in his back.

He remembers waking up in an ambulance, which ferried him across the Israeli border to the Soroka Medical Center in the southern city of Beersheba. It was the first time he had ever left Gaza. He doesn’t know who shot him, or who decided to save his life.

“An unknown man was received by the IDF from Gaza after a gunshot wound,” read the hospital’s medical report, a copy of which was obtained and reviewed by The Post. The physician detailed “extensive pulmonary contusions” and a fractured rib, among other injuries.
Saad said he was still bleeding two days later when he was returned to Gaza in an ambulance and dropped off at Kerem Shalom.
“They told me not to look back,” he said.

International law ‘was not important’
According to accounts provided to Breaking the Silence, Palestinians have been used as human shields throughout the conflict. “The earliest testimony we have on it is from a soldier who was aware of it just a few weeks after the ground invasion began,” Carmel said. “The latest testimony we have on this is from the summer.”

The reservist who spoke with The Post said his unit received two Palestinian men during his tour of Gaza. He recalls questioning whether they were militants and being assured by his commander that they were.

One of the detainees, a teenager, spoke little in the 24 hours he spent with the unit, which the soldier believed was because he was in shock. Blindfolds were removed from the men only when they reached the next building the military had designated for clearance.
The soldier’s recollections line up with the accounts of three Palestinian men interviewed by The Post, all of whom independently described being used by the IDF as human shields over a similar period — in their cases, in the immediate aftermath of Israel’s late March raid on al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Omar al-Jadba, a vascular surgeon, said he was detained by soldiers as they entered the hospital, having stayed behind to look after patients who could not easily be moved. The soldiers assigned him a number, and called it out to summon him to the courtyard. There were other detainees there, including Mohamed al-Sharafa, 48, and Mohamed Hassouna, 24, who said they were taken from their homes near the hospital.

Jadba was ordered to call out through a megaphone that the army had set a deadline for militants to leave the area. The men were told what was expected of them: “To remove any obstacles to the troops, such as curtains and doors” inside the hospital, Hassouna said. “They told us that we should photograph every place we entered and that the pictures would reach them immediately via their wireless internet,” he continued.
Detainees who refused were beaten, the three men said. “I was telling them that my hands are precious for my work; I am the only vascular surgeon here,” Jadba said. “My hospital was turning into rubble, and they were asking me to demolish it with my own hands.”
The men were terrified that they would be mistaken for soldiers and shot by militants, they said, although they encountered none in the end. When the job was done, they called out through the loudspeaker and waited. Eventually, they said, they were allowed to leave, exhausted but relieved, with their hands in the air.
The reservist said a group of soldiers in his unit questioned the use of human shields. One told a more senior commander, he said, that the practice violated international law.
“He told us that international law is not important and the only thing that simple soldiers need to think about is the ethical code of the IDF,” the soldier said.
In its statement to The Post, the Israeli military said: “The use of civilians as human shields, or coercing them in any other way to participate in military operations, is strictly prohibited by the IDF’s orders. These directives and orders are regularly emphasized and clarified to the forces on the ground. The IDF is fully committed to international law.”
Brian Finucane, a former legal adviser at the State Department and now a senior adviser at the International Crisis Group, described the soldier’s recollection as “pretty damning evidence for prosecution,” saying his account sounded like “prohibited and indeed criminal human shielding.”
When the reservist asked his commander what to do with the Palestinians once the mission was over, he said he was told to release them.
“At this point we understood that if we could release them, then they were not terrorists,” the reservist said. “The officer just lied to us.”
Palestinians said they have also been forced to enter Hamas’s sprawling network of tunnels ahead of Israeli troops, in case they are booby-trapped. Hakim, whom The Post interviewed in January, described being sent underground in the western part of Gaza City with a camera around his waist and a rope that he was told to pull on if he needed to stop.
“Before I went down there, they asked me if I wanted to say goodbye to any family members,” said Hakim, who spoke on the condition that he be identified only by his first name for fear of reprisals. “I didn’t think there was any need if I was going to return safely,” Hakim recalled telling the soldiers, but a man told him, “No, you will only return in pieces,” he said.
At the mouth of the tunnel, Hakim remembered freezing in fear and told the soldiers he couldn’t do it. “One opened fire around my feet, and then pushed me into the hole,” he recounted.
Hakim survived his mission. As the soldiers returned him to their base, inside an abandoned school, he said, he heard them calling a 15-year-old from the detainees gathered there. He was being sent to the tunnels.
