We demand @JoeBidenand @KamalaHarris avert the impending Middle East war by ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza now.
The long-feared regional war is looming in the Middle East and could easily spin out of control into a wider conflict.
The Biden-Harris administration is pouring gasoline on the fire by sending massive arms and troops to back Israel, whose aggressive actions have long been pushing for expanded war.
The Biden-Harris administration must stop this at once and fix the crisis at its source – by ceasing all weapons and support to Israel until it ends its genocide in Gaza and agrees to negotiate a settlement for Palestine and the region consistent with international law and the rulings of the International Court of Justice.
After Israel’s back to back assassinations in Beirut and Tehran last week, Iran has met with allies including Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Yemen and Iraqi militias to plan joint action against Israel and US bases in Iraq and Syria. By responding with warships, destroyers, fighter jets and potentially land-based missile defense and troops, the US is proposing to take direct part in the imminent war that could easily go nuclear.
Some Israeli leaders have already suggested using nuclear weapons. Such a war could trigger nuclear winter – a reduction in sunlight due to debris from nuclear explosions suspended in the upper atmosphere for years, which can cause global famine with the potential to end civilization as we know it. By funding and arming Israel, and refusing to rein in its rampage, the Biden-Harris administration is now putting Americans and the world in the crosshairs of Israel’s genocidal aggression.
The US must not be dragged into a disastrous regional war by an Israeli government seeking cover to continue its genocide in Gaza. It’s long past time for the US to end the genocide in Gaza that it is enabling. The US is providing the vast majority of weapons being used by Israel in Gaza, as well as financial assistance, intelligence and diplomatic cover. By halting all support for Israel’s genocide, the US can make an emergency diplomatic appeal to Iran and allies to hold their fire.
By allowing Israel to determine US foreign policy in its most basic form – in matters of war and peace – the Biden-Harris administration has effectively handed the role of Commander in Chief to Bibi Netanyahu. This is an intolerable betrayal of the American people and it must come to an end.
We encourage all people of conscience to vehemently protest the US rush to war, call for an end to aid to Israel until it ends its genocide, and demand peacemakers rather than warmongers at all levels of government.

History will remember these people as the true heroes of Israel, those smart enough to understand the right side of history, and courageous enough to say no in the face of extraordinary societal pressure. https://x.com/mekomit/status/mekomit/status/1820487565105086940/video/1
These 2 profiles are actually perfect because they illustrate that you should never judge a people, or a segment of a people, as a whole. Old or young, religious or not, you can always find people who stand out.
Sadly they constitute a minority in today’s Israeli society but it’s all the more reason to highlight them. Because if you paint everyone with the same brush no matter their stance, it makes it all the more harder to do the courageous thing.

Trump didn’t do a damn thing.

The IDF says it killed Hamas’s economy minister in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip yesterday.
According to the IDF, Abd al-Fattah al-Zari’i also served as an operative in Hamas’s manufacturing division.
The IDF says the manufacturing division works to “increase Hamas’s weapons capabilities, including by exchanging information with other terror organizations across the Middle East.”
Al-Zari’i, according to the IDF, played a “significant role in directing Hamas’ efforts to seize control of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip” as well as manage Hamas-controlled markets.
Additionally, he was responsible for the distribution of fuel, gas, and funds for “terror activities,” the military adds.

Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich has said letting two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip die of hunger might be “justified and moral”.
Speaking at a conference hosted by the Israel Hayom outlet on Monday, he expressed support for blocking aid to the Gaza Strip but said Israel lacked international legitimacy to do so.
“We are bringing in aid because there is no choice,” the far-right minister said, according to the Times of Israel.
“We can’t, in the current global reality, manage a war. Nobody will let us cause two million civilians to die of hunger even though it might be justified and moral until our hostages are returned,” he added.
He said that Israel needed “international legitimacy for this war”.
For nearly 10 months, the Israeli military has imposed a tight siege on the Gaza Strip, extremely limiting the flow of life-saving essential food and medical items.
Aid delivery is scarce, unprotected and restricted.
In June, independent UN investigators said Israel was using starvation on the Palestinian population as a weapon of war.
The hunger crisis has led to the death of dozens of people due to malnutrition, mostly children.
A high risk of famine persists across the Gaza Strip as almost the entire population faces high levels of acute food insecurity or worse, including half a million suffering starvation, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) said in June.
Smotrich is one of many Israeli ministers and officials who have made statements described as genocidal against Gaza’s Palestinians since 7 October.
On 9 October, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel was fighting “human animals” as he announced a “complete siege” on Gaza.
“There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said.
Other ministers and officials have advocated using a nuclear bomb on Gaza, turning the enclave into a “slaughterhouse” and “erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth”.
South Africa said these statements are evidence of genocidal intent in its ongoing case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza.
Israel denies the accusation of genocide.
Smotrich has also been accused of making genocidal statements about the occupied West Bank.
In March 2023, he said the Palestinian village of Huwwara near Nablus “needs to be wiped out”.

He noted that Georgia has long been exhausted by the aggressive foreign policy of the West. Pipia emphasized that “Russia has been forced into confrontation with the collective West, which is determined to destroy Russian civilization.”
“The West is trying to plunge Georgia into chaos as well,” he said.
In this context, Pipia suggested that the Russian and Georgian peoples should come closer together to confront a common enemy and unite with Russia without any preconditions.

1:17
here in this conversation that’s a
1:19
choice human rights is a choice Justice
1:21
is a choice peace is a choice I’m here
1:24
fulfilling an obligation uh that I took
1:26
up uh when I was uh at the coner border
1:29
uh met with an extraordinary woman who
1:32
um is a survivor of the Hamas attack she
1:35
lived in one of the kabut that is
1:37
adjacent to the Border uh and after she
1:40
conducted a tour and showed me where 64
1:43
innocent Israelis lost their lives and a
1:46
dozen hostages were taken she said when
1:48
you go back to the US please pray for us
1:51
post for us but also protest for us and
1:54
for me this is a kind of an affirming
1:57
protest also uh want to add that said to
2:00
me very clearly you need to help
2:02
Americans to understand that our current
2:04
government is not working towards peace
2:07
and is instead doing everything they can
2:09
not to be helpful uh to us in this
2:12
moment so that’s why I’m here uh thank
2:14
you for giving me the opportunity to
2:15
spend time uh again with nadav nadav um
2:20
uh the first question I’m going to ask
2:23
you is a difficult one uh to ask you and
2:25
I spent real time together on the ground
2:28
in hibron in the West bank I saw a
2:31
number of things that were deeply
2:33
traumatizing to me but as I saw them I
2:36
realized that you were being ret
2:38
traumatized uh you were experiencing all
2:41
over again I I I wonder uh as I Express
2:44
gratitude to you if you can give members
2:47
of the house and others who are gathered
2:49
here uh an understanding of your own
2:51
personal Journey uh how you uh decided
2:55
uh that you were going to become a
2:56
long-term activist for peace and that
2:58
you were going to be somebody who was
3:00
going to uh speak across difficult
3:04
divides uh thank you thank you P Patrick
3:07
and and
3:08
everyone before I start I just want to
3:11
say that as an Israeli I think that the
3:12
number one goal of our government uh is
3:15
to release all of our hostages and bring
3:18
bring a ceasefire between us and and and
3:21
Gaza and enter humanitarian Aid inside
3:23
that’s the most important thing as an
3:25
Israeli to say at the moment um so for
3:28
your question I I became an activist
3:31
because I was a soldier in the Israeli
3:32
Army I’m 38 years old I served 20 years
3:35
ago and I served in the um Special
3:39
Forces Unit of the Infantry Naka Brigade
3:41
and me and my team were snipers and when
3:43
you serve as a sniper in the West Bank
3:45
and Gaza you are inside Palestinian
3:48
cities towns but more than more than
3:50
everything else you are inside
3:51
Palestinian homes almost every night we
3:54
did an operation that is called the
3:55
straw WID sto is when you take a private
3:57
Palestinian house and turn it into a
3:58
military post it means that you have to
4:00
storm the house in the middle of the
4:01
night drag all of the family members
4:03
from their beds and put them in one room
4:06
so they won’t bother us and then we put
4:08
our sniping rifles and me as the spotter
4:10
of the team I would put my thermal
4:12
camera in one of the rooms then we start
4:14
scanning the city and during that time
4:16
if one of the family members wants to
4:18
eat to drink to take medicine to go to
4:20
the bathroom they need authorization
4:21
from us because it’s our house it’s not
4:23
their house anymore and STW could be 2
4:27
hours or 4 hours or 6 hours or two days
4:31
right and after that ends we just take
4:33
all of our weapons and everything and we
4:34
go back to the base and when we go back
4:36
to the base the first time we did it I I
4:39
I understood that we ruined the
4:41
Palestinian family’s life not because we
4:43
had information not because we want to
4:44
shoot at someone because they thought us
4:46
this is a routine operation you have to
4:48
be with your sniping rifles inside the
4:49
Palestinian City and I was brought up on
4:52
the idea that they have to protect
4:53
Israel but what am I’m what I’m doing in
4:55
the Israeli Army is protecting Israel
4:57
and that wasn’t protecting Israel that
4:59
was rolling Palestinians and that’s a
5:01
different thing Al together so you ask
5:03
me how I became an activist I served in
5:05
the IDF and and I think that as an
5:07
Israeli we have the moral obligation to
5:09
speak about what we did over there it’s
5:11
not a secret that belongs to me as a
5:13
soldier or as an Israeli something that
5:15
everybody should know that is happening
5:17
almost every night St WIS like I did but
5:20
every day we have checkpoints and
5:22
Palestinian giving permits and now
5:24
fighting in Gaza and arrest it’s a
5:27
ongoing occupation of 57 years
5:30
I’m going to ask you uh in a moment
5:32
about Gaza and how we ended up where we
5:35
where we were at and what perceptions
5:36
are on the ground uh but I want to go
5:39
back to something that you said to me
5:41
when we were um together uh in hion you
5:44
said uh that the mission that you had
5:47
was to continuously mow the lawn can you
5:50
help us understand what it means to mow
5:51
the lawn and the and the purpose of that
5:54
and the psychology of it yeah so so as
5:57
soldiers were getting commands to do all
5:59
kinds of operations but one of the main
6:01
commands that we are getting is IDE of
6:02
soldier it’s called making a presence
6:04
felt what does it mean making a presence
6:06
felt so all of the Palestinians would
6:07
know who controls them throw a stun
6:10
grenade in the middle of palestin
6:11
Village in the middle of the night or
6:13
buil a a makeshift checkpoint so
6:16
Palestinians won’t know if they need to
6:17
go through two checkpoints or 10
6:19
checkpoints on their way to work or to
6:21
school or to the grocery shop and stop
6:24
Palestinians and taking their IDs and
6:25
question them and by the way now we have
6:28
a new system it’s called the W back it’s
6:30
a facial recognition system it means
6:31
that I’m stopping Palestinians they take
6:33
a photo of their face with a cell phone
6:35
and an app tells me what to do if to
6:37
detain the Palestinians or to let them
6:39
go right so Mo the on it means that all
6:42
of the Palestinians all of the time
6:44
should understand that the idea controls
6:46
them doesn’t matter if it’s a nurse from
6:48
a hospital if it’s a 14year old kid or
6:50
if it’s a construction worker all of
6:52
them would feel out
6:55
control the um uh I I I recognized that
6:58
as you took up your advocacy and your
7:00
determination to bring heon to Tel Aviv
7:03
in your own words uh that you yourself
7:05
has have been under all kinds of
7:07
surveillance and attack uh and I’m just
7:09
impressed with how steadfast you’ve been
7:11
through all of that but you’ve also uh
7:14
and the people of Israel have also been
7:15
steadfast through uh the astonishing
7:18
horrific attacks on October 7th I want
7:20
to talk about October 7th uh and Gaza
7:23
and where we’re at now I I understand
7:25
that uh on October 7th in U inclusive of
7:28
the 1200 Israelis uh who were uh who
7:32
were killed uh you lost a personal
7:34
friend that day as well I I wonder if
7:36
you can speak uh to that and um your
7:41
reaction to the aftermath of that attack
7:46
uh and your sense of the collective
7:48
punishment that the people of Gaza have
7:50
now been subject to yeah so so first of
7:53
all on October 7th lot of us lost our
7:56
loved ones and like and I I I think
8:01
basically every Israeli knows somebody
8:03
that was murdered in the Nova festival
8:05
or one of the kibutz or one of the 350
8:08
soldiers that died in the first couple
8:09
of hours of the attack right um so uh I
8:14
served in a special forces team and my
8:16
officer my officer my commander from the
8:18
Army the day I finished my Army service
8:20
he called me and said nadav I know you I
8:21
know your political views I just joined
8:23
an organization it’s called breaking the
8:25
silence or fighting the occupation you
8:26
should join and I hang the phone in his
8:28
face because I told him no no no I want
8:30
to go to South America to forget about
8:32
everything but he didn’t let go he
8:34
didn’t let go and eventually I joined
8:36
breaking a silence and he was my mentor
8:38
in all of my first months in Breaking
8:39
the silence and and he was a resident of
8:42
kibuts ber and and he defended the
8:45
kibuts he was a part of the First
8:47
Response Unit in the kibuts for seven
8:49
hours until he ran out of ammunition and
8:52
and then they will they killed him and
8:55
and for me it was hard because it was my
8:57
mentor right but all also he was a man
9:00
of Peace Shaka was really a man of peace
9:04
and and and and felt Revenge I I wanted
9:08
to Revenge I was angry I was so angry
9:10
but as an activist couple of hours later
9:12
I understood okay no what I need to do
9:14
is we need peace right and we stop the
9:16
fighting over them so so that’s
9:19
something that I want our government the
9:20
people in Israel would feel the same to
9:22
turn that that bad energy to something
9:26
that that can bring us to a very good
9:28
point so you and I are reunited here at
9:31
the point of the visit of uh prime
9:34
minister Netanyahu uh to our Capital uh
9:37
it seems to me uh after being uh in Tel
9:40
Aviv and experiencing the massive uh
9:42
demonstrations that were organized by
9:44
the hostage families and then the
9:46
massive demonstrations for justice
9:48
organized by uh political opposition uh
9:52
it seems to me that the prime minister
9:54
is clearly on the back foot uh at home
9:57
and perhaps has a uh an agenda uh that
10:00
speaks to that challenge uh in Israel uh
10:03
but also to a set of of politics here
10:05
and and I wonder if you have a
10:06
perspective on that that you can share
10:08
with us yeah so so first of all we need
10:11
we need to put everything that happened
10:14
with Gaza at the moment in context in
10:15
that context is that the main conception
10:18
of Israel that Benjamin nany is is the
10:20
leader of it is managing the conflict
10:22
this is how we call it we can build a
10:24
huge wall around the Gaza Strip and we
10:27
can do military operations after a
10:28
couple of years giving Palestinians
10:30
humanitarian permits and that’s it
10:32
everybody would forget about the
10:33
occupation and we can do the Abraham
10:35
Accords and speak and normalization with
10:37
the with the Muslim world and and that’s
10:40
it and that
10:41
exploded very bloody and and harsh on
10:44
October 7th right that that our milit
10:48
military strengths and Technology they
10:51
they won’t stop it right and that’s why
10:54
immediately we start seeing the
10:55
demonstration in Israel right in t Aviv
10:58
and jus and in and beeva and those
11:01
demonstration got bigger and bigger and
11:03
every week every every Saturday I’m over
11:06
there right and there are tens of
11:07
thousands of Israelis that are calling
11:09
for ceasefire now and releasing our
11:12
hostages before anything else so when
11:14
Benjamin comes over here to Washington
11:16
to address Congress he’s not
11:18
representing the people of Israel that’s
11:20
something that we have to understand the
11:21
majority of Israelis and all of the
11:23
Pauls shows it we want a ceas far and we
11:26
want our hostages home I think that you
11:28
know as as the prime minister
11:29
he needs to defend us the citizens right
11:33
I was a combat Soldier I know that you
11:34
don’t you don’t leave anyone behind also
11:36
an Israel citizen I know that our
11:38
government need to take care of us and
11:40
I’m also a Jewish man that I know that
11:41
every life matter right and Benjamin Nan
11:45
sees himself and his political way he
11:48
wants power right and that’s why this
11:50
war prolongs right n nine months we are
11:53
inside the war so what he’s doing what
11:55
he comes to do over here is exactly that
11:59
right is is is addressing the rightwing
12:01
voters in Israel more than the two house
12:03
of for of Congress we saw his government
12:08
right we have an extreme right-wing
12:09
government in Israel and he’s afraid
12:12
because if he will do a a ceasefire and
12:15
and and uh releasing our hostages it
12:18
means that the extreme rightwing parties
12:19
would leave his government right smri
12:22
and Ben and and and and that’s why this
12:25
war goes on and on and
12:28
on want to um that’s that’s that’s
12:31
rather devastating I I want to go back
12:33
to the West Bank uh with you Nadal um at
12:37
some point uh during our tour you took
12:39
me up on a hill and you said very
12:41
clearly you cannot understand the
12:43
conflict you can’t understand um the
12:45
circumstances in the occupied spaces
12:48
unless you appreciate both demography uh
12:52
and uh geography uh and as we you know
12:55
round our way uh through uh hibron it
12:58
was extraordinary to experience the kind
13:00
of Park a par Park marked map uh where
13:05
uh uh Palestinian territory uh was
13:08
absolutely uh broken up and not uh
13:10
contiguous at all and I and I wonder if
13:12
you can help us understand what is going
13:14
on what exactly this means particularly
13:18
uh on the heels of the uh IDF uh
13:20
civilian uh Administration approving the
13:23
largest land seizures last week since
13:26
the oso cards I I should also note uh
13:29
that uh as I uh visited communities in
13:32
the West Bank I arrived uh hours after a
13:35
United Nations sponsored school had been
13:38
bulldozed uh and after the homes uh of
13:41
uh uh activist peace activist families
13:43
had been bulldozed and were still
13:45
smoldering uh and there were children
13:47
gathered up on a hill who did not know
13:48
where they would sleep that evening what
13:51
on Earth is going on here yeah so first
13:53
of all we have to remember that we have
13:55
a government in Israel that in their
13:57
guidelines it says that only the Jewish
13:59
people has the right to
14:00
self-determination inside Israel and
14:02
they are actively actively working for
14:05
annexation so that’s our government
14:07
right and and um s settlement expansion
14:13
it’s it’s it’s it’s only one of the
14:14
things because we are in a
14:15
record-breaking time now in Israel
14:17
Palestine right it’s the most amount of
14:19
settler violence that we ever saw right
14:22
the biggest seizure of of Palestinian
14:24
land since the oso occurred but also the
14:27
most amount of unauthorized Outpost that
14:29
were retroactively approved by our
14:31
government right and it’s they’re
14:33
illegal also in Israel eyes right and
14:36
and and and and and what you mentioned
14:39
when we were in the South bbor Hills
14:40
area so a couple of years ago the state
14:42
of Israel and the settler movement the
14:44
the they correct the system right you
14:46
don’t need to build a big settlement
14:48
with lots of families and kindergartens
14:50
and all of that no no no you take one
14:51
family it’s a ship Herer unauthorized
14:55
Outpost in a remote area we were in the
14:57
South Eon Hills area a desert area and
15:00
it’s like four or five people but 200
15:02
heads of cattle or goats or sheeps and
15:05
then they get hundreds and sometimes
15:07
thousands of dunams or acres to go
15:10
around with their ships and we the
15:11
soldiers we have to protect them does
15:13
matter where they are going and they are
15:15
very very violent in the last 15 years
15:18
most of the settler violence are from
15:19
that ship headers Comm um unauthorized
15:22
Outpost and we were in Zan right Zuta a
15:26
cave dwellers Community a Palestinian
15:28
cave DW community in the South Eon Hills
15:30
that was abandoned after October 7th
15:33
because the settlers took advantage that
15:35
all of the eyes of the world and Israel
15:37
were on Gaza or or on Lebanon and they
15:40
unleash settler violence and Zuta was
15:43
the largest cave dweller community that
15:45
fled they left why because settlers were
15:48
very violent toward them from the
15:50
unauthorized Outpost next to them IDE of
15:52
soldiers protected the violent settlers
15:55
right and the community left about 400
15:57
adults and couple of hundreds of goats
16:00
and sheeps the largest one and 18
16:03
communities left fled since October 7th
16:07
right so this is our government that
16:10
wants to make the Oslo Accords disappear
16:13
right using settler violence and and we
16:15
have to remember settler violence or the
16:17
settlement it’s not something that it’s
16:19
detached from Israel it’s a part of the
16:21
policy if I’m as a soldier I’m not
16:23
allowed to enforce law on violent
16:25
settlers it means that settlers are or
16:27
violent settlement settlers are are a
16:29
part of the system are part of the
16:30
mechanism of the occupation right the
16:33
that that last point is is critical and
16:35
and we should Express uh thanks to our
16:37
Representatives here who pushed for
16:39
targeted sanctions against the extremist
16:42
uh settlers who were inciting uh this uh
16:44
this this violence and we we appreciate
16:46
their leadership on that front MAV you
16:49
and I have about three minutes left for
16:52
this conversation here in Capitol Hill
16:54
they take their assignments very
16:55
seriously representative McGovern gave
16:57
us a clear assignment said that he came
16:59
here for some inspiration when I left
17:01
you uh in the West Bank I felt
17:03
incredibly inspired you’re talking about
17:06
difficult things here we were all
17:07
dismayed by uh the reality just last
17:10
week when the knesset voted uh down a
17:13
resolution for palestin for for
17:15
Palestinian statehood calling that an
17:17
existential threat to Israel despite all
17:20
of that what gives you hope what gives
17:22
you optimism what inspires you uh in uh
17:26
your engagement with Israeli and
17:29
Palestinians give representative
17:31
McGovern that that spark of inspiration
17:33
that he came here for so so first of all
17:36
I’ve got to say about the sanctions
17:38
right sanctions were a very important
17:40
step to show Israelis that impunity
17:42
doesn’t exist right that settler
17:44
violence is something that you need to
17:45
address and that was a very very
17:48
important step right I don’t want Israel
17:50
to be sanctioned I don’t want to be
17:51
isolated but it was
17:54
uh like everybody said today like we are
17:57
allies right when I fought in in Gaza I
18:01
had an M4 and it was engraved on the
18:03
side property of US Government right but
18:06
that’s only part of that friendship the
18:07
other part is saying whoa stop right and
18:10
we need to go to the next phase of uh of
18:13
of sanctions and and and and I’ve got
18:15
I’ve got to say something like I’m doing
18:17
this for the past 12 years right talking
18:18
with Israelis and international and
18:21
there’s something that I understood you
18:24
understood quite quickly I gotot to say
18:26
that when you speak the truth and when
18:28
you take respons responsibility like
18:29
what breaking the silence we’re taking
18:31
responsibility of what we did saying to
18:33
the Israel Society to the world this is
18:35
what we’re doing right we need to
18:36
address this and when you speak truth to
18:39
power in front of human beings they
18:41
understand that and that gives me power
18:44
every gives me energy every week when I
18:46
meet Israel it doesn’t matter if we
18:48
argue or not if we agree or not the
18:50
conversation exist and we can see what
18:52
happened with the liberal Democratic
18:54
camp in Israel or with the
18:55
anti-occupation Block in Israel gets
18:56
bigger and bigger because people
18:59
understand that we cannot be an
19:00
occupying power forever right 57 years
19:03
that’s too much that’s our uh our
19:07
Forever War right it’s too much and and
19:10
I for got to say the last couple of days
19:11
that I spent over here in Washington
19:13
meeting with congressmen and women and
19:15
and I I understood that we have a lot of
19:17
allies and that’s something that
19:18
Israelis should understand that over
19:20
here we have a lot of allies that can
19:22
help us bring an end to the occupation
19:24
and bring peace to the
19:25
region the DAV when I was uh in uh the
19:28
West Bank I was um overwhelmed by your
19:31
courage today I’m overwhelmed and
19:33
humbled by your ability to extend Grace
19:35
uh to everyone Israelis and Palestinians
19:38
alike thank you so much
19:46
thanks um thank you Nev um and
19:49

IDF says it assassinated the Gaza minister of the economy (and his elderly mother) because that’s a normal thing a normal country does.

The IDF says it killed Hamas’s economy minister in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip yesterday.
According to the IDF, Abd al-Fattah al-Zari’i also served as an operative in Hamas’s manufacturing division.
The IDF says the manufacturing division works to “increase Hamas’s weapons capabilities, including by exchanging information with other terror organizations across the Middle East.”
Al-Zari’i, according to the IDF, played a “significant role in directing Hamas’ efforts to seize control of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip” as well as manage Hamas-controlled markets.
Additionally, he was responsible for the distribution of fuel, gas, and funds for “terror activities,” the military adds.

– Iranian-Russian relations are strategic, deep, and long-term and will not be affected by changes in governments.
– The Americans know well that the world has abandoned the single-pole world.
– We appreciate the trilateral cooperation between Iran, Russia, and China.
Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, in response:
-
We express Russia’s readiness for full cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran in regional affairs.
– We condemn the assassination of Hamas’ political bureau in Tehran.
– There is no doubt that the perpetrators of such a crime seek to increase tension in the region.

Nothing to see here, just an Israeli minister saying it’s justified to kill 2,000,000 Palestinians by starving them. I wonder if Western media will decide that the official of a state accused of genocide at the ICJ justifying genocide and starvation is newsworthy. Quiet so far…

Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich has said letting two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip die of hunger might be “justified and moral”.
Speaking at a conference hosted by the Israel Hayom outlet on Monday, he expressed support for blocking aid to the Gaza Strip but said Israel lacked international legitimacy to do so.
“We are bringing in aid because there is no choice,” the far-right minister said, according to the Times of Israel.
“We can’t, in the current global reality, manage a war. Nobody will let us cause two million civilians to die of hunger even though it might be justified and moral until our hostages are returned,” he added.
He said that Israel needed “international legitimacy for this war”.
For nearly 10 months, the Israeli military has imposed a tight siege on the Gaza Strip, extremely limiting the flow of life-saving essential food and medical items.
Aid delivery is scarce, unprotected and restricted.
In June, independent UN investigators said Israel was using starvation on the Palestinian population as a weapon of war.
The hunger crisis has led to the death of dozens of people due to malnutrition, mostly children.
A high risk of famine persists across the Gaza Strip as almost the entire population faces high levels of acute food insecurity or worse, including half a million suffering starvation, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) said in June.
Smotrich is one of many Israeli ministers and officials who have made statements described as genocidal against Gaza’s Palestinians since 7 October.
On 9 October, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel was fighting “human animals” as he announced a “complete siege” on Gaza.
“There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said.
Other ministers and officials have advocated using a nuclear bomb on Gaza, turning the enclave into a “slaughterhouse” and “erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth”.
South Africa said these statements are evidence of genocidal intent in its ongoing case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza.
Israel denies the accusation of genocide.
Smotrich has also been accused of making genocidal statements about the occupied West Bank.
In March 2023, he said the Palestinian village of Huwwara near Nablus “needs to be wiped out”.

Israel is genociding Palestinians in Gaza. Decent people are devastated by the screams and endless pain of mothers, fathers and children abandoned to the fury of their executioners. Where is the so-called civilised world? Shame on us, really.

A Georgian party has reached out to Russia with a proposal to restore diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Mamuka Pipia, International Secretary of the party “Solidarity for the Sake of Peace,” stated that the two nations need to unite in the face of the threat of Georgia’s disintegration.
He noted that Georgia has long been exhausted by the aggressive foreign policy of the West. Pipia emphasized that “Russia has been forced into confrontation with the collective West, which is determined to destroy Russian civilization.”
“The West is trying to plunge Georgia into chaos as well,” he said.
In this context, Pipia suggested that the Russian and Georgian peoples should come closer together to confront a common enemy and unite with Russia without any preconditions.

Now, with the emergence of BRICS, the question arises whether Washington can be considered a reliable economic ally because its position is weakening, and the position of Russia and China is getting stronger,” said Larry Johnson. @worldpravda

On Wednesday, July 24, an event for U.S. members of Congress, their staff, and the media was held as an alternative to the address of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress.
During the event CAP President and CEO Patrick Gaspard talked to Breaking the Silence Executive Director Nadav Weiman about the situation in Gaza, his experience as a former IDF soldier in the West Bank, and what brought him to break his silence and become an anti-occupation activist.
The event which was moderated by Win Without War Executive director Sara Haghdoosti also included talks with Palestinian and Israeli peace activists Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon.
The event was held and sponsored by the Center for American Progress alongside Americans for Peace Now, the Center for International Policy, Common Defense, the Middle East Democracy Center, and Win Without Wa

1:12
you for all of our um House
1:15
Representatives who made a choice to be
1:17
here in this conversation that’s a
1:19
choice human rights is a choice Justice
1:21
is a choice peace is a choice I’m here
1:24
fulfilling an obligation uh that I took
1:26
up uh when I was uh at the coner border
1:29
uh met with an extraordinary woman who
1:32
um is a survivor of the Hamas attack she
1:35
lived in one of the kabut that is
1:37
adjacent to the Border uh and after she
1:40
conducted a tour and showed me where 64
1:43
innocent Israelis lost their lives and a
1:46
dozen hostages were taken she said when
1:48
you go back to the US please pray for us
1:51
post for us but also protest for us and
1:54
for me this is a kind of an affirming
1:57
protest also uh want to add that said to
2:00
me very clearly you need to help
2:02
Americans to understand that our current
2:04
government is not working towards peace
2:07
and is instead doing everything they can
2:09
not to be helpful uh to us in this
2:12
moment so that’s why I’m here uh thank
2:14
you for giving me the opportunity to
2:15
spend time uh again with nadav nadav um
2:20
uh the first question I’m going to ask
2:23
you is a difficult one uh to ask you and
2:25
I spent real time together on the ground
2:28
in hibron in the West bank I saw a
2:31
number of things that were deeply
2:33
traumatizing to me but as I saw them I
2:36
realized that you were being ret
2:38
traumatized uh you were experiencing all
2:41
over again I I I wonder uh as I Express
2:44
gratitude to you if you can give members
2:47
of the house and others who are gathered
2:49
here uh an understanding of your own
2:51
personal Journey uh how you uh decided
2:55
uh that you were going to become a
2:56
long-term activist for peace and that
2:58
you were going to be somebody who was
3:00
going to uh speak across difficult
3:04
divides uh thank you thank you P Patrick
3:07
and and
3:08
everyone before I start I just want to
3:11
say that as an Israeli I think that the
3:12
number one goal of our government uh is
3:15
to release all of our hostages and bring
3:18
bring a ceasefire between us and and and
3:21
Gaza and enter humanitarian Aid inside
3:23
that’s the most important thing as an
3:25
Israeli to say at the moment um so for
3:28
your question I I became an activist
3:31
because I was a soldier in the Israeli
3:32
Army I’m 38 years old I served 20 years
3:35
ago and I served in the um Special
3:39
Forces Unit of the Infantry Naka Brigade
3:41
and me and my team were snipers and when
3:43
you serve as a sniper in the West Bank
3:45
and Gaza you are inside Palestinian
3:48
cities towns but more than more than
3:50
everything else you are inside
3:51
Palestinian homes almost every night we
3:54
did an operation that is called the
3:55
straw WID sto is when you take a private
3:57
Palestinian house and turn it into a
3:58
military post it means that you have to
4:00
storm the house in the middle of the
4:01
night drag all of the family members
4:03
from their beds and put them in one room
4:06
so they won’t bother us and then we put
4:08
our sniping rifles and me as the spotter
4:10
of the team I would put my thermal
4:12
camera in one of the rooms then we start
4:14
scanning the city and during that time
4:16
if one of the family members wants to
4:18
eat to drink to take medicine to go to
4:20
the bathroom they need authorization
4:21
from us because it’s our house it’s not
4:23
their house anymore and STW could be 2
4:27
hours or 4 hours or 6 hours or two days
4:31
right and after that ends we just take
4:33
all of our weapons and everything and we
4:34
go back to the base and when we go back
4:36
to the base the first time we did it I I
4:39
I understood that we ruined the
4:41
Palestinian family’s life not because we
4:43
had information not because we want to
4:44
shoot at someone because they thought us
4:46
this is a routine operation you have to
4:48
be with your sniping rifles inside the
4:49
Palestinian City and I was brought up on
4:52
the idea that they have to protect
4:53
Israel but what am I’m what I’m doing in
4:55
the Israeli Army is protecting Israel
4:57
and that wasn’t protecting Israel that
4:59
was rolling Palestinians and that’s a
5:01
different thing Al together so you ask
5:03
me how I became an activist I served in
5:05
the IDF and and I think that as an
5:07
Israeli we have the moral obligation to
5:09
speak about what we did over there it’s
5:11
not a secret that belongs to me as a
5:13
soldier or as an Israeli something that
5:15
everybody should know that is happening
5:17
almost every night St WIS like I did but
5:20
every day we have checkpoints and
5:22
Palestinian giving permits and now
5:24
fighting in Gaza and arrest it’s a
5:27
ongoing occupation of 57 years
5:30
I’m going to ask you uh in a moment
5:32
about Gaza and how we ended up where we
5:35
where we were at and what perceptions
5:36
are on the ground uh but I want to go
5:39
back to something that you said to me
5:41
when we were um together uh in hion you
5:44
said uh that the mission that you had
5:47
was to continuously mow the lawn can you
5:50
help us understand what it means to mow
5:51
the lawn and the and the purpose of that
5:54
and the psychology of it yeah so so as
5:57
soldiers were getting commands to do all
5:59
kinds of operations but one of the main
6:01
commands that we are getting is IDE of
6:02
soldier it’s called making a presence
6:04
felt what does it mean making a presence
6:06
felt so all of the Palestinians would
6:07
know who controls them throw a stun
6:10
grenade in the middle of palestin
6:11
Village in the middle of the night or
6:13
buil a a makeshift checkpoint so
6:16
Palestinians won’t know if they need to
6:17
go through two checkpoints or 10
6:19
checkpoints on their way to work or to
6:21
school or to the grocery shop and stop
6:24
Palestinians and taking their IDs and
6:25
question them and by the way now we have
6:28
a new system it’s called the W back it’s
6:30
a facial recognition system it means
6:31
that I’m stopping Palestinians they take
6:33
a photo of their face with a cell phone
6:35
and an app tells me what to do if to
6:37
detain the Palestinians or to let them
6:39
go right so Mo the on it means that all
6:42
of the Palestinians all of the time
6:44
should understand that the idea controls
6:46
them doesn’t matter if it’s a nurse from
6:48
a hospital if it’s a 14year old kid or
6:50
if it’s a construction worker all of
6:52
them would feel out
6:55
control the um uh I I I recognized that
6:58
as you took up your advocacy and your
7:00
determination to bring heon to Tel Aviv
7:03
in your own words uh that you yourself
7:05
has have been under all kinds of
7:07
surveillance and attack uh and I’m just
7:09
impressed with how steadfast you’ve been
7:11
through all of that but you’ve also uh
7:14
and the people of Israel have also been
7:15
steadfast through uh the astonishing
7:18
horrific attacks on October 7th I want
7:20
to talk about October 7th uh and Gaza
7:23
and where we’re at now I I understand
7:25
that uh on October 7th in U inclusive of
7:28
the 1200 Israelis uh who were uh who
7:32
were killed uh you lost a personal
7:34
friend that day as well I I wonder if
7:36
you can speak uh to that and um your
7:41
reaction to the aftermath of that attack
7:46
uh and your sense of the collective
7:48
punishment that the people of Gaza have
7:50
now been subject to yeah so so first of
7:53
all on October 7th lot of us lost our
7:56
loved ones and like and I I I think
8:01
basically every Israeli knows somebody
8:03
that was murdered in the Nova festival
8:05
or one of the kibutz or one of the 350
8:08
soldiers that died in the first couple
8:09
of hours of the attack right um so uh I
8:14
served in a special forces team and my
8:16
officer my officer my commander from the
8:18
Army the day I finished my Army service
8:20
he called me and said nadav I know you I
8:21
know your political views I just joined
8:23
an organization it’s called breaking the
8:25
silence or fighting the occupation you
8:26
should join and I hang the phone in his
8:28
face because I told him no no no I want
8:30
to go to South America to forget about
8:32
everything but he didn’t let go he
8:34
didn’t let go and eventually I joined
8:36
breaking a silence and he was my mentor
8:38
in all of my first months in Breaking
8:39
the silence and and he was a resident of
8:42
kibuts ber and and he defended the
8:45
kibuts he was a part of the First
8:47
Response Unit in the kibuts for seven
8:49
hours until he ran out of ammunition and
8:52
and then they will they killed him and
8:55
and for me it was hard because it was my
8:57
mentor right but all also he was a man
9:00
of Peace Shaka was really a man of peace
9:04
and and and and felt Revenge I I wanted
9:08
to Revenge I was angry I was so angry
9:10
but as an activist couple of hours later
9:12
I understood okay no what I need to do
9:14
is we need peace right and we stop the
9:16
fighting over them so so that’s
9:19
something that I want our government the
9:20
people in Israel would feel the same to
9:22
turn that that bad energy to something
9:26
that that can bring us to a very good
9:28
point so you and I are reunited here at
9:31
the point of the visit of uh prime
9:34
minister Netanyahu uh to our Capital uh
9:37
it seems to me uh after being uh in Tel
9:40
Aviv and experiencing the massive uh
9:42
demonstrations that were organized by
9:44
the hostage families and then the
9:46
massive demonstrations for justice
9:48
organized by uh political opposition uh
9:52
it seems to me that the prime minister
9:54
is clearly on the back foot uh at home
9:57
and perhaps has a uh an agenda uh that
10:00
speaks to that challenge uh in Israel uh
10:03
but also to a set of of politics here
10:05
and and I wonder if you have a
10:06
perspective on that that you can share
10:08
with us yeah so so first of all we need
10:11
we need to put everything that happened
10:14
with Gaza at the moment in context in
10:15
that context is that the main conception
10:18
of Israel that Benjamin nany is is the
10:20
leader of it is managing the conflict
10:22
this is how we call it we can build a
10:24
huge wall around the Gaza Strip and we
10:27
can do military operations after a
10:28
couple of years giving Palestinians
10:30
humanitarian permits and that’s it
10:32
everybody would forget about the
10:33
occupation and we can do the Abraham
10:35
Accords and speak and normalization with
10:37
the with the Muslim world and and that’s
10:40
it and that
10:41
exploded very bloody and and harsh on
10:44
October 7th right that that our milit
10:48
military strengths and Technology they
10:51
they won’t stop it right and that’s why
10:54
immediately we start seeing the
10:55
demonstration in Israel right in t Aviv
10:58
and jus and in and beeva and those
11:01
demonstration got bigger and bigger and
11:03
every week every every Saturday I’m over
11:06
there right and there are tens of
11:07
thousands of Israelis that are calling
11:09
for ceasefire now and releasing our
11:12
hostages before anything else so when
11:14
Benjamin comes over here to Washington
11:16
to address Congress he’s not
11:18
representing the people of Israel that’s
11:20
something that we have to understand the
11:21
majority of Israelis and all of the
11:23
Pauls shows it we want a ceas far and we
11:26
want our hostages home I think that you
11:28
know as as the prime minister
11:29
he needs to defend us the citizens right
11:33
I was a combat Soldier I know that you
11:34
don’t you don’t leave anyone behind also
11:36
an Israel citizen I know that our
11:38
government need to take care of us and
11:40
I’m also a Jewish man that I know that
11:41
every life matter right and Benjamin Nan
11:45
sees himself and his political way he
11:48
wants power right and that’s why this
11:50
war prolongs right n nine months we are
11:53
inside the war so what he’s doing what
11:55
he comes to do over here is exactly that
11:59
right is is is addressing the rightwing
12:01
voters in Israel more than the two house
12:03
of for of Congress we saw his government
12:08
right we have an extreme right-wing
12:09
government in Israel and he’s afraid
12:12
because if he will do a a ceasefire and
12:15
and and uh releasing our hostages it
12:18
means that the extreme rightwing parties
12:19
would leave his government right smri
12:22
and Ben and and and and that’s why this
12:25
war goes on and on and
12:28
on want to um that’s that’s that’s
12:31
rather devastating I I want to go back
12:33
to the West Bank uh with you Nadal um at
12:37
some point uh during our tour you took
12:39
me up on a hill and you said very
12:41
clearly you cannot understand the
12:43
conflict you can’t understand um the
12:45
circumstances in the occupied spaces
12:48
unless you appreciate both demography uh
12:52
and uh geography uh and as we you know
12:55
round our way uh through uh hibron it
12:58
was extraordinary to experience the kind
13:00
of Park a par Park marked map uh where
13:05
uh uh Palestinian territory uh was
13:08
absolutely uh broken up and not uh
13:10
contiguous at all and I and I wonder if
13:12
you can help us understand what is going
13:14
on what exactly this means particularly
13:18
uh on the heels of the uh IDF uh
13:20
civilian uh Administration approving the
13:23
largest land seizures last week since
13:26
the oso cards I I should also note uh
13:29
that uh as I uh visited communities in
13:32
the West Bank I arrived uh hours after a
13:35
United Nations sponsored school had been
13:38
bulldozed uh and after the homes uh of
13:41
uh uh activist peace activist families
13:43
had been bulldozed and were still
13:45
smoldering uh and there were children
13:47
gathered up on a hill who did not know
13:48
where they would sleep that evening what
13:51
on Earth is going on here yeah so first
13:53
of all we have to remember that we have
13:55
a government in Israel that in their
13:57
guidelines it says that only the Jewish
13:59
people has the right to
14:00
self-determination inside Israel and
14:02
they are actively actively working for
14:05
annexation so that’s our government
14:07
right and and um s settlement expansion
14:13
it’s it’s it’s it’s only one of the
14:14
things because we are in a
14:15
record-breaking time now in Israel
14:17
Palestine right it’s the most amount of
14:19
settler violence that we ever saw right
14:22
the biggest seizure of of Palestinian
14:24
land since the oso occurred but also the
14:27
most amount of unauthorized Outpost that
14:29
were retroactively approved by our
14:31
government right and it’s they’re
14:33
illegal also in Israel eyes right and
14:36
and and and and and what you mentioned
14:39
when we were in the South bbor Hills
14:40
area so a couple of years ago the state
14:42
of Israel and the settler movement the
14:44
the they correct the system right you
14:46
don’t need to build a big settlement
14:48
with lots of families and kindergartens
14:50
and all of that no no no you take one
14:51
family it’s a ship Herer unauthorized
14:55
Outpost in a remote area we were in the
14:57
South Eon Hills area a desert area and
15:00
it’s like four or five people but 200
15:02
heads of cattle or goats or sheeps and
15:05
then they get hundreds and sometimes
15:07
thousands of dunams or acres to go
15:10
around with their ships and we the
15:11
soldiers we have to protect them does
15:13
matter where they are going and they are
15:15
very very violent in the last 15 years
15:18
most of the settler violence are from
15:19
that ship headers Comm um unauthorized
15:22
Outpost and we were in Zan right Zuta a
15:26
cave dwellers Community a Palestinian
15:28
cave DW community in the South Eon Hills
15:30
that was abandoned after October 7th
15:33
because the settlers took advantage that
15:35
all of the eyes of the world and Israel
15:37
were on Gaza or or on Lebanon and they
15:40
unleash settler violence and Zuta was
15:43
the largest cave dweller community that
15:45
fled they left why because settlers were
15:48
very violent toward them from the
15:50
unauthorized Outpost next to them IDE of
15:52
soldiers protected the violent settlers
15:55
right and the community left about 400
15:57
adults and couple of hundreds of goats
16:00
and sheeps the largest one and 18
16:03
communities left fled since October 7th
16:07
right so this is our government that
16:10
wants to make the Oslo Accords disappear
16:13
right using settler violence and and we
16:15
have to remember settler violence or the
16:17
settlement it’s not something that it’s
16:19
detached from Israel it’s a part of the
16:21
policy if I’m as a soldier I’m not
16:23
allowed to enforce law on violent
16:25
settlers it means that settlers are or
16:27
violent settlement settlers are are a
16:29
part of the system are part of the
16:30
mechanism of the occupation right the
16:33
that that last point is is critical and
16:35
and we should Express uh thanks to our
16:37
Representatives here who pushed for
16:39
targeted sanctions against the extremist
16:42
uh settlers who were inciting uh this uh
16:44
this this violence and we we appreciate
16:46
their leadership on that front MAV you
16:49
and I have about three minutes left for
16:52
this conversation here in Capitol Hill
16:54
they take their assignments very
16:55
seriously representative McGovern gave
16:57
us a clear assignment said that he came
16:59
here for some inspiration when I left
17:01
you uh in the West Bank I felt
17:03
incredibly inspired you’re talking about
17:06
difficult things here we were all
17:07
dismayed by uh the reality just last
17:10
week when the knesset voted uh down a
17:13
resolution for palestin for for
17:15
Palestinian statehood calling that an
17:17
existential threat to Israel despite all
17:20
of that what gives you hope what gives
17:22
you optimism what inspires you uh in uh
17:26
your engagement with Israeli and
17:29
Palestinians give representative
17:31
McGovern that that spark of inspiration
17:33
that he came here for so so first of all
17:36
I’ve got to say about the sanctions
17:38
right sanctions were a very important
17:40
step to show Israelis that impunity
17:42
doesn’t exist right that settler
17:44
violence is something that you need to
17:45
address and that was a very very
17:48
important step right I don’t want Israel
17:50
to be sanctioned I don’t want to be
17:51
isolated but it was
17:54
uh like everybody said today like we are
17:57
allies right when I fought in in Gaza I
18:01
had an M4 and it was engraved on the
18:03
side property of US Government right but
18:06
that’s only part of that friendship the
18:07
other part is saying whoa stop right and
18:10
we need to go to the next phase of uh of
18:13
of sanctions and and and and I’ve got
18:15
I’ve got to say something like I’m doing
18:17
this for the past 12 years right talking
18:18
with Israelis and international and
18:21
there’s something that I understood you
18:24
understood quite quickly I gotot to say
18:26
that when you speak the truth and when
18:28
you take respons responsibility like
18:29
what breaking the silence we’re taking
18:31
responsibility of what we did saying to
18:33
the Israel Society to the world this is
18:35
what we’re doing right we need to
18:36
address this and when you speak truth to
18:39
power in front of human beings they
18:41
understand that and that gives me power
18:44
every gives me energy every week when I
18:46
meet Israel it doesn’t matter if we
18:48
argue or not if we agree or not the
18:50
conversation exist and we can see what
18:52
happened with the liberal Democratic
18:54
camp in Israel or with the
18:55
anti-occupation Block in Israel gets
18:56
bigger and bigger because people
18:59
understand that we cannot be an
19:00
occupying power forever right 57 years
19:03
that’s too much that’s our uh our
19:07
Forever War right it’s too much and and
19:10
I for got to say the last couple of days
19:11
that I spent over here in Washington
19:13
meeting with congressmen and women and
19:15
and I I understood that we have a lot of
19:17
allies and that’s something that
19:18
Israelis should understand that over
19:20
here we have a lot of allies that can
19:22
help us bring an end to the occupation
19:24
and bring peace to the
19:25
region the DAV when I was uh in uh the
19:28
West Bank I was um overwhelmed by your
19:31
courage today I’m overwhelmed and
19:33
humbled by your ability to extend Grace
19:35
uh to everyone Israelis and Palestinians
19:38
alike thank you so much
19:46

19:49
