To mark Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary - and its distorted entry on the term “Pallywood” - we prepared a short compilation to highlight how Wikipedia, once a genuinely positive idea, has in recent years been captured by a specific activist group that increasingly controls political narratives and seeks to harm... the West. The historical distortions and narrative hijackings are alarming. Anyone who follows Wikipedia should think very carefully before trusting political content there. What is happening is a kind of political information genocide that has grown largely unchecked. WikiBias has done outstanding work documenting this problem. Fortunately, Elon Musk, one of the world’s leading pioneers in these fields, has launched Grokipedia to push back against this phenomenon, and I sincerely hope it will help change the situation. Regarding the “Pallywood” entry itself, I’ll repeat what I’ve always said so people finally understand how deeply wrong Wikipedia’s framing is - and how it even harms Palestinians: - THERE IS SUFFERING IN GAZA. - THERE IS ALSO A FALSE PROPAGANDA INDUSTRY. These two facts DO NOT CONTRADICT each other. People look for black-and-white answers, but reality rarely works that way - especially not when it comes to Gaza, and certainly not when it comes to propaganda. This is particularly true regarding claims of famine in Gaza. See our detailed comment to Bill Ackman, which explains how real hardship and large-scale manipulation can coexist: The fact that there is real suffering in Gaza does not mean Hamas does not operate a massive propaganda industry - one that floods the world with false claims, repeatedly reuses images from other conflicts, and stages events for cameras. At the same time, this does not mean that the IDF does not conduct airstrikes. Both realities can exist simultaneously. Claiming that Hamas does not run a propaganda apparatus is so absurd that Wikipedia’s distortion on this issue is frankly childish and embarrassing. And why does this harm Palestinians? Just as it is obvious that a parent who raises a child for terrorism harms that child, teaching children to perform staged scenes for cameras does them no good either. On the contrary — it trains them to rely on falsehoods to advance in life, which ultimately leads nowhere. It only causes further harm - harm they are already suffering today, partly due to Pallywood itself. So to Wikipedia editors: regardless of your personal views about Israel or the West, lies are never the answer. In the end, this approach will harm your cause - and most of all, it will harm Palestinians themselves.show more

🧵1/ I’m back from a short trip on a social network with photographs and videos from Gaza, with some brief personal conclusions. First, it is quite clear that there are those in Gaza who know how to make extensive use of the networks and social media for the purposes of emotional extortion and also false propaganda, exactly like they live streamed the October 7 massacre and somehow turned it into “justified resistance”, they use quite a few Western buzzwords such as “genocide”, “occupation”, “oppression” and “Zionism”- and this is the simplest way to distinguish between Hamas propaganda posts and authentic people in Gaza, whom I’ve known all my life, who use much simpler words and not this indoctrinated manipulation bullshit. I was looking for THESE authentic people - the real voices. And I think I found a few. So first of all, what do I think there is NOT happening in Gaza? There is no genocide and no famine. Yes, there is quite a lot of suffering, shortages in some places and lack of decent shelter etc. And there’s a lot of cynical exploitation of it for propaganda purposes. I’m saying it because you can see children are getting payed for it, you can see the absolute control of distribution and you can see how basic needs and the way out is blocked with money- Israel is not taking money for any of it, the West is sending free aid, so the money is demanded by those who want to control the suffering and use it. You should know, that before the war - there was already quite a lot of very poor population in Gaza, but now the economic difficulty has greatly increased for two main reasons: one, the war damaged many sources of livelihood and the second - a major source of livelihood was working in Israel and this option was closed for a long time now, since October 7, and is now much less operational. So in fact the main source of income is donations and funding from Hamas for control purposes of course. This is how, among other things, Hamas uses the population to "work for them", and also to smile or cry for the cameras on demand. Now on the issue of claimed famine- famine is when there’s NO food and water, enough for the population. As I said, my personal conclusion is that there is no shortage of food and water in Gaza at all. The problem is that the food is not distributed equally, it is controlled by those who are powerful (usually Hamas operatives) and then sold at high costs to the population without them having sources of livelihood. Food that should be distributed for #free is actually sold at a high price, the shelter tents are also paid for and the exit from Gaza is particularly expensive (5000$ that are paid to the transporters). There are quite a few who refer to Gaza as a "prison" but Gaza is not a prison, Hamas has simply created a situation where it is very expensive to leave it - and thus the poor and the new poor are completely dependent on Hamas and other clans (Hamulas) in everything to do with food, shelter and exit, and they play with them as pawns. If Gaza is a prison - then it’s because Hamas are imprisoning it. All the suffering in Gaza started because of #Hamas it continues and increases because of #Hamas, but the main point is that #Hamas is also the one factor that can stop it. If Hamas surrendered unconditionally and released the Israeli hostages, as done in any war in which you are forced to admit defeat - they would truly liberate Palestine. Remember- this is a war that #Hamas started, a war that on Oct. 7 was celebrated in the streets of Gaza. But #Hamas prefers to keep the Palestinians captive so that it can showcase suffering (which they create) and use it as a tool for financial donations, manipulation of the West and a messianic jihadist war that will never end for them. If the West doesn’t wake up to this ongoing manipulation- they will never help the Palestinians in Gaza or in general, and they will bring this jihadist chaos to their doorstep From Gaza >

Another masterful interview on Gaza of Dominique De Villepin, former Prime Minister of France, who IMHO is the best diplomat the West has produced in decades. Again I believe that his words are so important and so rare among Western leaders today, that I decided to translate it in full (the bold parts are emphasis Villepin himself made when speaking): "The Israeli government, Benjamin Netanyahu, failed on October 7th and failed doubly. Firstly, in its ability to ensure the protection of the Israeli people by allowing massacres that are an abomination to occur. He bears direct responsibility for what happened. And his second failure is having encouraged a policy of occupation and colonization, which continues at this moment in the West Bank and constitutes another threat to Israel if a second front in the West Bank were to open. Force does not ensure the security of a people! This is what all Israelis must understand today. And what is important is that since October 7th, the Israeli government's choice has been to escalate the use of force. You know, neither force nor vengeance ensures peace and security. What ensures peace and security is justice! And justice is not being served today. The rationale of the Israeli government for the bombings happening today is flawed, and the whole international community can see it. The principle is: "we target terrorists, and unfortunately, there are also civilian populations," what is euphemistically called in military language "collateral damage." It must be understood that this collateral damage is not accidental. That is to say, it is perfectly predictable and fully accepted. [Host: "But once again, the responsibility is not solely Israeli."] But once more, let's stop asking about responsibility; let's look at the reality of what's happening on the ground! Assigning fault, allow me to tell you, we will leave to historians. What we want is to stop this violence, to stop these massacres. Israel is putting itself in danger, even more today, with this type of warfare and these types of strikes. We are essentially dealing with a policy of vengeance from the Netanyahu government. Israel has the right to self-defense, but self-defense does not give an indiscriminate right to kill civilian populations. When you target an ambulance, you can always imagine that there was a terrorist in one of the ambulances, or not. But the result is that there are children, women who die. Every child, every woman killed, that's more terrorists. Therefore, Israel's objective, what Israel achieves, is exactly the opposite of what they wish. So, it is essential today to change this logic and return to a strategy that is sound. Hostages, everything must be done to secure their release. But let's not forget: the Palestinian people are also taken hostage, by Hamas and by Israel. And Hamas, we all know, cares little for the Palestinian people. So telling Hamas: "we will not lift the siege, we will not have a humanitarian truce until the hostages are released," is a dialogue of the deaf. Benjamin Netanyahu is waging a war to do everything so that the political solution does not come to the table. And this is where the international community, Europe, the United States, must tell Benjamin Netanyahu that this war is not acceptable. It is not acceptable because it leads us directly [to escalation] - because we can see it well, from Hamas we will move to Iran, from Iran we will move to other targets, and we then enter into the logic of a clash of civilizations. When Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu says that on one side there is the people of light and on the other the people of darkness, we can see the kind of spiral we are getting into. All the wars that have been going on for the past twenty years are wars that begin and do not end. These are frozen conflicts. We know how to start a war; we do not know how to end it. And Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu could control Gaza, it would change nothing. There will continue to be terrorist attacks, Israelis will continue to live in fear. We must get out of this. The second reason why this is yesterday's war is that the war against terrorism has never been won anywhere. Force is not the answer, once again. Vengeance is not the answer. The answer is justice, and that is what all the peoples of the world, all those who today watch what is happening, call for justice. Today the direction we must follow is to prevent Benjamin Netanyahu from continuing his suicidal logic that will make Israel a besieged state. They can besiege Gaza, but they will be besieged. And do not think that tomorrow we will again have a pacified discourse with Saudi Arabia, with the Arab states that will normalize the situation: no! The wounds of history are awakening. Israel's interest is to have a responsible state at its side. And this responsible state, let's stop splitting hairs, must clearly be the West Bank, all of the West Bank. It must be Gaza, with access between the two territories, and East Jerusalem. The problem, and this is the whole point of Benjamin Netanyahu's escalation, is that Benjamin Netanyahu does not want it. And the policy of separation must be dignified. That is, it must confer to the Palestinians a state where they can live, a viable state, a true state, which can build itself and which will be all the more at peace... [Host: "Does that mean that the settlements in the West Bank have to be removed?"] Well, when we left Algeria, there were a million French who left Algeria. Today there are 500,000 Israelis colonizing the West Bank, and there are 200,000 in East Jerusalem. [Host: "They must leave the West Bank?"] Yes. Yes, that is history, that is responsibility, that is the price! I tell you solemnly, it is the price of security for Israel! And all those who today consider that it will never be enough are pursuing the worst policy."

Today, the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah said something utterly preposterous. It denied that it was Hamas that carried out the horrible massacre at the nature festival near Gaza. It actually accused Israel of carrying out that massacre. This is a complete reversal of truth Abu Mazen, who in the past has denied the existence of the Holocaust, today is denying the existence of the Hamas massacre and that's unacceptable. My goal is that the day after we destroy Hamas, any future civil administration in Gaza does not deny the massacre, does not educate its children to become terrorists, does not pay for terrorists and does not tell its children that their ultimate goal in life is to see the destruction and dissolution of the State of Israel. That's not acceptable and that is not the way to achieve peace.

Former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell: Russia will only be able to destroy Ukraine if Ukraine is unable to defend itself. If the US does not provide the means to do so, are we going to do it? Question mark. This is the existential question that Europe must answer for itself: Are we in a position to help Ukraine defend itself even if the United States does not? It depends on how willing we are. So far, we have helped Ukraine more than the United States, both in civilian and military terms. Can we do even more and replace the United States? This comes at a cost, and what is needed is not only the will and the ability to pay for it, but also to convert the money into weapons. Because people don't go to the front with a bag of cash; people go to the front with weapons. And between money and weapons there is something called industry, that is, production capacity.

Hamas leadership has been living lavishly in Qatar while the people that they claim to represent in Gaza are suffering. They’ve been directing a war from the comfort of their five-star hotels for almost two years, refusing to release the 48 hostages that are still being held in Gaza. Today, Israeli officials announced that they took a targeted action against these Hamas leaders who have been terrorizing the region for years. This war in Gaza is brutal. It has to end. Palestinians are suffering, Israelis are suffering. The entire region is suffering. The people of Gaza, the Arab League, the US and Israel are all saying the same thing. Hamas must be removed from power. Inside Gaza, people are risking their lives to protest Hamas, and they’re being silenced, beaten, even killed on the streets. They know that Hamas is the reason Gaza is in ruin. They know that Hamas is the one who started the war, and Hamas is the reason that it hasn’t ended yet. And this has been Hamas’s plan all along, force Israel into a war it never wanted to fight, but has to win. Hamas spent years preparing the October 7th attack. They knew exactly what an urban war in a densely populated area would look like. They all went into hiding and left their people out to suffer. And these devastating consequences for the people of Gaza? That was a part of their strategy, to delegitimize Israel’s standing in the eyes of the world. They knew what they were doing, and Israel could not and still cannot allow these jihadists to live on its borders. No other nation would allow that. This is the linchpin of the entire conflict right now. Once Hamas is gone, the war ends, the suffering ends, and Gaza can finally rebuild. So today, Israel sent a message that there’s no safe place for terrorists anywhere on Earth, and we all need to stand together and say release the hostages, remove Hamas, end the war.

Host: There are Palestinians, including from the Authority and Fatah, who say: what is the value of the resistance’s weapons, since they do not visibly protect the Palestinian people in Gaza? The killing continues, displacement continues. So what is the value of this weapon? Dr. Mohammad al-Hindi: Did the Authority’s weapon in the West Bank protect anyone? It does not protect you if you surrender. If you surrender, you are violated. That is the banner of surrender. All factions, including the Authority, are ready to look for solutions to this issue. We presented proposals to the mediators, and all mediators understood them and said these are good and excellent proposals. But handing over weapons does not solve the problem; it opens the door to complete violation in Gaza, even more than in the West Bank. The West Bank today is more exposed. Do you not see what is happening there? There is a Palestinian Authority, no resistance, security coordination with Israel. What does it do? Nothing. So the symbol of surrender is handing over weapons. If the collaborator militias that Israel arms are activated, would Gaza not be violated? It is already killing. You saw the images five days ago of what collaborators did to fighters who returned.

Ceasefire now, people say. But what does that actually mean? So ceasefire is what we've had on October 6th and what we all want, obviously. But President Biden said it best. Ceasefire and a hostage deal, he said, is at the hands of Hamas. President Biden said that Israel put down a rational offer because Israel is a rational country. The problem is that Hamas is not a rational actor. It is a genocidal Jihadi terrorist organization that doesn't care about the lives of Palestinians. And people in the West have been yelling ceasefire now at the wrong side of this war. Hamas has rejected countless ceasefires. Hamas and Iran are not trying to build a better life for the Palestinian people. You have to understand what Hamas and Iran are doing right now is they're actively trying to inflame the entire Middle East right before the holy month of Ramadan, which as President Biden said is going to be very, very dangerous. And this is exactly what they are after. There is currently a multi-front war going on in Israel in which Israel is being attacked by Jihadi terrorists from all sides, all prompted, pushed, and sponsored by Iran. Hamas, according to what was published, said that they have Israel exactly where they want her. That means the international pressure is on Israel to stop the war so that Hamas can remain in power in Gaza. So if you're calling at Israel to ceasefire, you're doing the bidding of Hamas. Hamas does not want to ceasefire. They're going to do whatever it takes in order to maintain power, including hiding in the elaborated tunnel system that they build instead of building a Palestinian state and remain in power at the cost of Israeli children and Palestinian children. It's time to dehamasify Gaza. And next time you demand a ceasefire, just make sure you aim it at the right direction. As President Biden said, this is at the hands of Hamas.

The problem is that Hamas is not a rational actor. It is a genocidal Jihadi terrorist organization that doesn't care about the lives of Palestinians. And people in the West have been yelling ceasefire now at the wrong side of this war. Hamas has rejected countless ceasefires. Hamas and Iran are not trying to build a better life for the Palestinian people. You have to understand what Hamas and Iran are doing right now is they're actively trying to inflame the entire Middle East right before the holy month of Ramadan, which as President Biden said is going to be very, very dangerous. And this is exactly what they are after. There is currently a multi-front war going on in Israel in which Israel is being attacked by Jihadi terrorists from all sides, all prompted, pushed, and sponsored by Iran. Hamas, according to what was published, said that they have Israel exactly where they want her. That means the international pressure is on Israel to stop the war so that Hamas can remain in power in Gaza. So if you're calling at Israel to ceasefire, you're doing the bidding of Hamas. Hamas does not want to ceasefire. They're going to do whatever it takes in order to maintain power, including hiding in the elaborated tunnel system that they build instead of building a Palestinian state and remain in power at the cost of Israeli children and Palestinian children. It's time to dehamasify Gaza. And next time you demand a ceasefire, just make sure you aim it at the right direction. As President Biden said, this is at the hands of Hamas.

HE (RUBIO) DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, AND THIS IS TRUE OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN FOREIGN POLICY ESTABLISHMENT IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT FOR RUSSIA, THIS IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT. THE POSSIBILITY OF UKRAINE BECOMING A MEMBER OF NATO IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE TO THE RUSSIANS. IT IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT, AND THEY ARE NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL UKRAINE AND THE WEST ARE DEFEATED AND THEY BOTH ACCEPT THE FACT THAT UKRAINE HAS TO BE A NEUTRAL STATE, NUMBER ONE, AND IT HAS TO BE DISARMED TO THE POINT OFFENSIVE THREAT TO RUSSIA. - John Mearsheimer

Yes, indeed, this is lawlessness by any standard. Even by banana republic standards, this is still lawlessness. Your country has a constitution, it has a government, it has a police service, and it has a ruling party. I am sure you can see that some of the people there are actually wearing ruling party T-shirts. It is lawless regardless of whoever does it. It is an embarrassment to South Africa as a country, what you are doing and what you are encouraging people to do. Your country has an immigration service. If people are in your country illegally, they should be arrested and deported through lawful processes. You do not go around destroying property, tearing down markets, and attacking people. It is illegal regardless of whoever does it. It is not illegal because I have said so. It is illegal because the laws of your country make it so. This is vigilantism, pure and simple, and it is tainting the reputation of South Africa, not only across Africa but across the world. If you have got satellite television in your home, you can see that these actions are being reported everywhere. It is not good for your country. This kind of barbarism undermines the rule of law, fuels division, and damages South Africa’s standing as a constitutional democracy. It is the actions of a few that are tainting the reputation of many. The average South African is not mindless like this. They respect the law, and they respect the fact that among them, in their communities, there are people from other countries. If those people are in the country illegally, you report them and the law takes its course through proper processes of arrest and deportation. You do not descend into mob justice, lawlessness, and destruction. That is not who South Africans are, and it must not be normalised.

RETHINK VAXXING It’s my personal belief that childhood and infant vaxxing is one of the greatest evils there is on this Earth. And I’m not alone. Just listen to what other people shared when I spoke about it. I know it in my heart what I’ve seen and experienced, what I’ve researched and it’s time for people to break the spell that the medical industry has cast over us. Those that are ready to hear will listen and understand it to be true. It is not fringe theory or conspiracy - there are many people who have seen the truth. We in our intelligent bodily systems can rely on nature to take care of our health - and these chemical concoctions do not support that. The benefits of health that are attributed to historical vaxxes are instead the result of nutrition and sanitation. As a population we are injected more than ever and yet we are sicker than ever - what does that tell you? It became an incredibly lucrative business - ask why these manufacturers are legally protected from the results of their “medications”. Everyone can make their own choices but I hope you can feel with your intuition that this practice is wrong and does not support health.

This is a pertinent clip from Sam Harris on the moral difference between Israel and her enemies. The moral difference comes down to understanding the answer to this question: what would each side do if they had the power to do it? TRANSCRIPT: The truth is that there is an obvious, undeniable, and hugely consequential moral difference between Israel and her enemies. The Israelis are surrounded by people who have explicitly genocidal intentions towards them. The charter of Hamas is explicitly genocidal. It looks forward to a time, based on Koranic prophesy, when the earth itself will cry out for Jewish blood, where the trees and the stones will say “O Muslim, there’s a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him.” This is a political document. We are talking about a government that was voted into power by a majority of Palestinians. The discourse in the Muslim world about Jews is utterly shocking. Not only is there widespread Holocaust denial—there’s Holocaust denial that then asserts that we will do it for real if given the chance. The only thing more obnoxious than denying the Holocaust is to say that it should have happened; it didn’t happen, but if we get the chance, we will accomplish it. There are children’s shows in the Palestinian territories and elsewhere that teach five-year-olds about the glories of martyrdom and about the necessity of killing Jews. And this gets to the heart of the moral difference between Israel and her enemies. And this is something I discussed in The End of Faith. To see this moral difference, you have to ask what each side would do if they had the power to do it. What would the Jews do to the Palestinians if they could do anything they wanted? Well, we know the answer to that question, because they can do more or less anything they want. The Israeli army could kill everyone in Gaza tomorrow. So what does that mean? Well, it means that, when they drop a bomb on a beach and kill four Palestinian children, as happened last week, this is almost certainly an accident. They’re not targeting children. They could target as many children as they want. Every time a Palestinian child dies, Israel edges ever closer to becoming an international pariah. So the Israelis take great pains not to kill children and other noncombatants. What do we know of the Palestinians? What would the Palestinians do to the Jews in Israel if the power imbalance were reversed? Well, they have told us what they would do. For some reason, Israel’s critics just don’t want to believe the worst about a group like Hamas, even when it declares the worst of itself. We’ve already had a Holocaust and several other genocides in the 20th century. People are capable of committing genocide. When they tell us they intend to commit genocide, we should listen. There is every reason to believe that the Palestinians would kill all the Jews in Israel if they could. Would every Palestinian support genocide? Of course not. But vast numbers of them—and of Muslims throughout the world—would. Needless to say, the Palestinians in general, not just Hamas, have a history of targeting innocent noncombatants in the most shocking ways possible. They’ve blown themselves up on buses and in restaurants. They’ve massacred teenagers. They’ve murdered Olympic athletes. They now shoot rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas. And again, the charter of their government in Gaza explicitly tells us that they want to annihilate the Jews—not just in Israel but everywhere.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: At the heart of Russia’s war against Ukraine is the false claim that Ukraine does not exist, that it is supposedly part of Russia. It is not just a matter of history, not just politics or ideology. This is the basis of their goal – to completely wipe Ukraine off the face of the earth. And not just Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly openly stated that it wants to control all its neighbors. It wants to decide what security should be in Europe and whether it should exist at all. Russia has spread its idea of war all the way to Syria and Africa. This is truly a global threat. It is important that many in the world perceive it as such – as a global threat.

Your faith was forged in people who would rather be exterminated than assimilated. A soft version of it, eager to be liked and desperate to fit in, is not the thing they died to hand you. So stop striving to be liked. Stop angling to be loved by a world that drove your fathers into the snow. That world would think no better of the gospel today than it did in 1838. Stop trying to file down every peculiar and glorious edge of the Restoration until the world finally finds you acceptable. It never will. And the wanting of its approval is the slow death of everything your people bled to preserve. I am thinking of the proclamation on the family, and of how many have quietly gone looking for a way around it. Some say it aloud now. Some march under the world's Pride banners and tell themselves it is only love. They have done the quiet arithmetic and concluded that if they give the world this one doctrine, the world will finally stop hating them, finally let them belong, finally call them good. It does not work that way. It has never once worked that way. Understand what the world actually hates, because it is not a single teaching about marriage that it cannot abide. It is the claim. It is the unbearable, scandalous claim that the keys of the priesthood were restored to the earth, that there is a prophet who speaks for God, that this and no other is the authorized house of the Lord. That is the offense. That is what it cannot forgive. You could surrender every doctrine the world finds distasteful, one after another, and you would not buy a single hour of peace, because the thing it objects to is not your position on this or that. It is that you claim to hold the authority of heaven, and it intends to see that claim humbled. The doctrine is only the doorway it is pushing on. The house is what it wants. Embrace the truth. Embrace the battle that has always come with it, because there has always been a battle, and there is one now. It is the oldest war there is, good against evil, light against the dark, and you were born onto its field whether you wished to be or not. You did not inherit a museum. You inherited a war, and a banner, and a people who never once surrendered it. You are a Mormon. The blood of the persecuted is in you, and the truth they died for is in your hands. You are not tourists. You are not spectators. You are the heirs of warriors, and the line they held is now yours to hold. So plant your feet on the ground they bled for. Lift the banner they would not drop.

The Trump plan, which was presented at the White House, included two parts. What was approved today in Sharm el-Sheikh has nothing to do with the future. Regarding the future of Gaza, we are still at the initial idea, which was not translated into details on the ground — and it’s no coincidence, because the assessment, at least in Israel, is that it’s impossible to really reach agreements with Hamas on its dismantling. There has not yet been an Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organization that agreed one day to simply dismantle. And so what we have here is a hostage release deal, and Israel is at a fork in the road. First, if Hamas is willing to disarm, Israel will indeed withdraw to the Gaza perimeter. If not, then not — and then IDF forces will be there, because we have no one to rely on but God and them. Now regarding the main issue. After all, Hamas ostensibly received guarantees. That’s what Hamas is saying. That’s its excuse to release the hostages. It is replacing the 48 hostages with an American-Qatar-Turkish-international guarantee that Israel will not enter. They say in Israel, “no problem, we also have guarantees. The war will end if Hamas disarms.” So we see here two American guarantees, which I, in order not to be anti-American, will not say that they are foolish. I will say that they complement each other: the war will not be renewed if Hamas disarms. And so, if you break it down even more: That war is over. It’s over. The ground entries, the raids, the exits, the Gideon’s Chariots A, B and maybe even C. What will happen next? Israel expects it to be “Lebanonization,” but in the positive sense of what happens after the ceasefire. In other words, not ground raids, but precise damage to any attempt to build up and/or harm IDF soldiers. This is the Israeli desire. We’ll see what happens on the ground.

NEW Queen Rania of Jordan continues to speak out on Israel and Gaza. In her second interview on CNN since October 7, Queen Rania is even more critical of the Israeli government and anyone who pushes back against a cease fire. Summary of interview: There has to be a collective call for a cease fire. I know there are people who say that calling for a cease fire is helping Hamas, but in that call they are justifying and endorsing the death of thousands of civilians. That is morally reprehensible. It is also short sighted. If you eliminate all of Hamas, what next? The root cause of this conflict is an illegal occupation, routine human rights abuses, illegal settlements, disregard to UN resolutions, and international law. If we do not address these root causes, you can kill the combatant, but you can’t kill the cause. Another group will rise. Another group more determined than Hamas. Israel needs to realize, if it wants its security, the surest route is through peace. Not the strongest military, or the most capable intelligence services, or the iron dome. If we want to make sure that we are never in this situation agin, we have to ask ourselves how we got there. After the Oslo Accords, in 1996 a poll was taken that 80 percent of Palestinians supported the accords and support for violent resistance dropped to 20 percent. If Palestinians had a political horizon, they themselves would be against any form of violence. But they need to be given that prospect. I cannot begin to describe the scale and scope of the catastrophic humanitarian crisis. There’s an acronym in Gaza, WCNSF - wounded child with no surviving family, that is an acronym that should never exist. I think the world is screaming, how many people have to die for our global conscience to awake. Or is it forever dormant when it comes to the Palestinians? After 10,000 people have been killed, for the Israelis to claim they are protecting human life is an insult to our intelligence. There is no safe place in Gaza. Even the so-called safe zones are being hit. I do not believe these evacuation orders are for the benefit of Gaza civilians. They are not the target audience, the rest of the world is. Israel is trying to legitimize its actions. Of course the use of human shields is criminal. But even if one side puts human beings in harms way, that civilian is still protected under international law. I find it really outrageous when Israeli officials audaciously dismiss Palestinian casualties as “human shields.” In the most crowded areas of Gaza, a civilian death is a foregone conclusion and that makes it a war crime. On antisemitism and Islamophobia: I absolutely and wholeheartedly condemn antisemitism and Islamophobia, it’s never ok and never justified to attack someone based on their political beliefs. I also want to remind everyone that Israel does not represent all the Jewish people in the world. Israel is a state and it alone is responsible for its own crimes. Jewish people around the world are appalled by what they’re seeing. Muslims have to be the first to condemn antisemitism. This is not about religion, this is about politics. Antisemitism is being weaponized to shut down criticism of Israel. Let me be very clear, being pro-Palestinian is not being antisemitic.

I have listened to the debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 between legal scholar Dr Justice Mavedzenge and political scientist Prof Jonathan Moyo today on Twitter. Without any doubt, Dr Justice Mavedzenge explained, clarified, and made ordinary people understand the issues, and more importantly, in my humble view, he won the debate on whether there is need for Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 to be subjected to a referendum or not. Anything done for the people, as Prof Jonathan Moyo says these monumental amendments are, should be subjected to the people. The Constitution is not ambiguous on this. It is clear that term limits should be subjected to a referendum for any change to be done legally. Under Section 328 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, any amendment that seeks to extend the length of time a President may hold office, or to remove or alter term limits in a way that benefits an incumbent, cannot apply to the sitting President and must be subjected to constitutional safeguards. You cannot claim to be doing something for the people and yet deny those same people the right to have a say. Prof Jonathan Moyo has a right to his views, but those views must be subjected to the law for the amendments to be implemented legally, and based on what I have read in our Constitution, his views are not aligned with the law. And I am not making this up. It is in the Constitution. Even veteran Zimbabwean lawyer and former ZANUPF legal secretary, Patrick Chinamasa, has said so. In this video, he explains in front of President Mnangagwa that what they are attempting to do today, which Prof Jonathan Moyo argues does not require a referendum, would in fact require two referendums. One to remove or alter presidential term limits from five to seven years, and another to extend the sitting president’s tenure to 2030. This position was declared, and not contradicted, at a ZANUPF conference in Bulawayo. What the broader legal fraternity in Zimbabwe is saying, save for a few lawyers who have since revised their positions and now echo the same view, is that the Constitution is explicit on these prescripts. Anything else is political propaganda to win hearts and minds. The problem with propaganda is that it cannot be anchored in constitutional provisions. It rests on opinion. In this instance, however, we are not expressing opinions. We are stating what is contained in the Constitution and what ZANUPF itself has previously acknowledged. You can decide today that you want a 20-year presidential term. That is your right to hold that view, but you must subject that proposition to the law. If you believe in it, take it to the citizens in the manner prescribed by the Constitution. You cannot decide, through opinion or political argument, whether a referendum is required or not. That question is not settled by what anyone thinks. It is settled by what the law says. If the Constitution requires a referendum, then you must subject yourself to it. That is how constitutional democracy works. We know that the judiciary in Zimbabwe is captured. We know how they are going to rule, but the whole world knows the truth, that if they rule in favour of these amendments going ahead without a referendum, they are simply a captured judiciary without the respect that is required for anyone holding such an important office, and history will remember them as such.

I have listened to the debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 between legal scholar Dr Justice Mavedzenge and political scientist Prof Jonathan Moyo today on Twitter. Without any doubt, Dr Justice Mavedzenge explained, clarified, and made ordinary people understand the issues, and more importantly, in my humble view, he won the debate on whether there is need for Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 to be subjected to a referendum or not. Anything done for the people, as Prof Jonathan Moyo says these monumental amendments are, should be subjected to the people. The Constitution is not ambiguous on this. It is clear that term limits should be subjected to a referendum for any change to be done legally. Under Section 328 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, any amendment that seeks to extend the length of time a President may hold office, or to remove or alter term limits in a way that benefits an incumbent, cannot apply to the sitting President and must be subjected to constitutional safeguards. You cannot claim to be doing something for the people and yet deny those same people the right to have a say. Prof Jonathan Moyo has a right to his views, but those views must be subjected to the law for the amendments to be implemented legally, and based on what I have read in our Constitution, his views are not aligned with the law. And I am not making this up. It is in the Constitution. Even veteran Zimbabwean lawyer and former ZANUPF legal secretary, Patrick Chinamasa, has said so. In this video, he explains in front of President Mnangagwa that what they are attempting to do today, which Prof Jonathan Moyo argues does not require a referendum, would in fact require two referendums. One to remove or alter presidential term limits from five to seven years, and another to extend the sitting president’s tenure to 2030. This position was declared, and not contradicted, at a ZANUPF conference in Bulawayo. What the broader legal fraternity in Zimbabwe is saying, save for a few lawyers who have since revised their positions and now echo the same view, is that the Constitution is explicit on these prescripts. Anything else is political propaganda to win hearts and minds. The problem with propaganda is that it cannot be anchored in constitutional provisions. It rests on opinion.

“Free Gaza From Hamas” Really Means “Free Gaza From All Palestinians” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to insist that Israel will carry out Trump’s ethnic cleansing plans for Gaza, saying the following on Sunday about “the final stage” of his agenda: “Hamas will lay down its weapons. Its leaders will be allowed to leave. We will see to the general security in the Gaza Strip and will allow the realization of the Trump plan for voluntary migration. This is the plan. We are not hiding this and are ready to discuss it at any time.” Netanyahu’s suggestion that Trump’s plan for the migration of Palestinians out of Gaza would be “voluntary” is misleading in two separate ways. Firstly, it is nonsensical to deliberately and systematically make a place uninhabitable and then claim that anyone who leaves that place would be leaving voluntarily. Israeli spinmeisters have been pushing this narrative since the early days of the onslaught, and it’s transparently bogus; telling people they can leave or starve to death is exactly the same as forcing them out at gunpoint. Secondly, Trump’s plan for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza is not “voluntary” on its face. Trump has explicitly said “all” Palestinians are to be removed from the enclave and would not be allowed to return, which of course necessarily means that anyone who wants to stay will not be permitted to. Netanyahu says he wants to realize Trump’s plan, and Trump’s plan is forcible ethnic cleansing. A Knesset member from Netanyahu’s Likud party named Amit Halevi was just on Israeli radio saying that the plan is “to occupy the territory to cleanse it of the enemy,” adding that Israel needs “to return to Gaza permanently and control this space, because it is part of our homeland.” I mean, how much more explicit do they need to be? When Israel apologists respond to chants of “Free Gaza” with “Free Gaza from Hamas,” what they really mean is “Free Gaza from all Palestinians.” The agenda they are cheerleading has ultimately nothing to do with Hamas — it’s about purging a Palestinian territory of Palestinians and replacing them with Israeli Jews. It’s yet another Israeli land grab and yet another drive to eliminate Palestinians from their historic homeland. If this was really about freeing Palestinians from Hamas, then why is Israel also seizing on this political moment to advance ethnic cleansing agendas in the West Bank, where Hamas does not govern? Defense Minister Israel Katz is on record saying of the occupied West Bank that “We must deal with the threat just as we deal with the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza,” and the Gaza playbook is being increasingly utilized there. Tens of thousands have been displaced as the Jenin refugee camp has been made uninhabitable under an aggressive Israeli bombing campaign, with hundreds of homes actively destroyed — not to combat Hamas, but to get rid of the Palestinians. Because that’s all this has ever been about. The western press have been obsessively covering the fact that some demonstrators in Gaza have been voicing discontent with Hamas, after those same press outlets just spent a year and a half ignoring millions of anti-genocide protesters around the world and running cover for Israel’s mass atrocities in Gaza. “Look!” we are told. “Those demonstrations prove that the people of Gaza want to be free from Hamas! This vindicates everything Israel and its allies have been doing!” But, again, Israel’s actions have nothing to do with Hamas. Hamas isn’t the reason, it’s the excuse. The excuse to advance an agenda that Israel has been trying to advance for as long as it has existed as a modern state. This is what Israel’s supporters and defenders are really advocating. Not the elimination of Hamas, and certainly not Palestinian freedom. They’re advocating the end of the existence of Palestinians on Palestinian territory. No matter how much they try to sugarcoat it, that is their position. That’s what Israel wants, so supporting Israel’s actions in Gaza is necessarily supporting the ends toward which Israel is pushing. Reading by Tim Foley:
