BREAKING:

🇮🇱 Israel has officially threatened to kill 6 Al-Jazeera journalists for publishing video footage of the Israeli massacre of children in Gaza.

Israel is accusing them for being associated with Hamas in the same way they previously linked hospitals to Hamas after wich they razed them to the ground and they burned patients alive.

Israel has so far massacred over 100 journalists in Lebanon and Palestine.

In Jabalia, Palestinian men who were abducted in groups by Israeli army trucks, with their hands bound and blindfolded, are being taken barefoot to an unknown location.

There is no coordination with the Red Cross or Red Crescent regarding their fate. The Israeli army has announced that all young and able-bodied men have been detained for questioning.

A full-scale massacre is unfolding today in the Nuseirat, Jabaliya, and Beit Hanoun areas of Gaza due to heavy assaults by the Israeli military. Since the early hours, 203 Palestinian civilians have been killed.

Currently, civilians in northern Gaza are direct targets of Israeli attacks. The genocide plan, publicly known as the “Generals’ Plan,” is being executed at full speed. All medical and rescue operations have been completely halted by the military administration. The Israeli army has warned that ambulances and rescue teams will be directly targeted if they attempt to continue their operations, effectively blocking any humanitarian efforts.

Kill them all: Israel’s extermination of Palestinians in Gaza
Tel Aviv’s plethora of horrific war-crime strategies – from the Hannibal Directive to the Dahiyeh Doctrine – were nothing compared to the existential peril Palestinians face under Israel’s new Generals’ Plan: a systematic blueprint for ethnic cleansing and Jewish re-settlement of the strip.

The holocaust engulfing Palestinians in Gaza has reached unimaginable levels of horror, epitomized by a harrowing video that swept across social media of 19-year-old Shaaban al-Dalou, burning to death while still connected to an IV drip. This was no isolated tragedy – it was emblematic of the escalating genocide.

On 13 October, an Israeli airstrike ignited the makeshift tents sheltering dozens of displaced Palestinian families in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Amidst the inferno, Dalou’s 17-year-old brother Mohammed described his agony: “I can’t describe the feeling. I saw my brother burning in front of me, and my mother was burning.”

Mohammed had managed to escape when he heard the strike, but his brother Shaban and their mother did not. His father saved his 10-year-old brother from the flames, only for the child to succumb to his burns days later, according to the New York Times.

No more services in North Gaza

The horrifying video was followed a week later by photos showing soldiers expelling Palestinians from half-destroyed residential blocks at gunpoint.

Israeli drone footage published by Israel’s public broadcaster Kan captured images of Palestinians rounded up and forced to walk south through Gaza’s post-apocalyptic landscape without any possessions.

Many Palestinians who refused to obey evacuation orders, often delivered by announcements made by hovering quadcopter drones, were massacred by Israeli artillery and airstrikes.

Rescue workers and civilians attempting to save others have been shot at by Israeli forces or simply rounded up and ‘disappeared.’ There have been reports describing numerous instances where Palestinians were targeted while trying to help injured individuals. This has left the people of Gaza without any medical or emergency services, forcing a complete halt on health and civil defense services.

Even hospitals were not spared. Critically injured patients and the doctors treating them faced the same impossible ultimatum – evacuate or die.

After returning home, western doctors who had volunteered in Gaza expressed their shock at how many children arrived at the hospitals, shot not only once but twice, directly in the heart and head.

“No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by ‘the world’s best snipers.’ And they’re dead-center shots,” surgeon Mark Perlmutter told CBS News.

Israeli snipers and drones opened fire deliberately not only on children but on those trying to rescue them.

Palestinian families fleeing were forced to pass through checkpoints where soldiers separated the men from women and children.

The soldiers then dressed the men in white jumpsuits, bound their hands, covered their eyes, and loaded them into beds of military trucks to be taken away by night to Israel’s notorious torture camps.

In detainee camps such as Sde Teiman over the past year, Israeli soldiers have starved, beaten, and anally raped Palestinian detainees. They shackled the limbs of detainees so tightly that prison doctors were regularly forced to amputate limbs.

When these practices came to light, due to leaked videos and testimony from prison guards and released detainees given to the Israeli and US media, Israeli society quickly rallied around the sadistic soldiers and announced that “everything is legitimate,” including forcing “a stick into a person’s rectum” when a captive is merely accused of being a Hamas member.

Fearing such a fate and knowing that the Israeli army planned to repeat the Nakba of 1948 and never allow them to go back to their homes and lands, many Palestinians in northern Gaza refused to flee.

Those who were forcibly expelled saw images of occupation forces lighting the remains of their apartment blocks ablaze and proudly posing for selfies and group photos posted as ‘trophies of war’ across social media platforms.

The General’s Plan

The indescribable horrors underway in Gaza are part of a carefully calculated Israeli strategy known as the “Generals’ Plan.”

This blueprint, which aims to “change the reality” on the ground and forcibly expel as many as possible of the 300,000 Palestinians remaining in north Gaza while starving or killing those who resist and remain, was presented by retired Major General Giora Eiland to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet in September. Eiland’s words were chillingly clear:

We have to tell the residents of north Gaza that they have one week to evacuate the territory, which then becomes a military zone, [a zone] in which every figure is a target and, most importantly, no supplies enter this territory.

After Netanyahu was briefed on details in a closed-door meeting with the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, he declared that the plan “makes a lot of sense.”

The effort to initiate the Generals’ Plan began when Israel’s military spokesman announced “evacuation” orders had been issued for Palestinians in cities and camps across the North Gaza governorate on 7, 10, and 12 October.

Israel then laid siege to northern Gaza, in particular the Jabalia refugee camp, in what Amnesty International described as a “terrifying escalation of the long list of horrors inflicted on people living in the area north of Wadi Gaza since October 2023.”

In addition to surrounding Jabalia with tanks and pummeling it with airstrikes, Israeli authorities quickly blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid, sending the message that Palestinians must either leave north Gaza or starve.

Empty threats from Washington

The use of starvation as a weapon of war proved embarrassing to Netanyahu’s backers in the White House, who enthusiastically support the genocide but also wish to avoid backlash from American voters that may cause them to lose power in the upcoming US presidential election.

On 13 October, the White House issued a letter publicly demanding Netanyahu increase aid to Gaza, otherwise Washington’s “continued offensive weapon shipments” to the Israeli army would be in jeopardy.

The letter, written by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, noted that the amount of aid delivered had “dropped by more than 50 percent” since the spring and that the amount delivered in “September was the lowest of any month during the past year.”

However, Blinken wrote in the letter that Netanyahu had a 30-day window to comply, deliberately ensuring the Israeli prime minister could ignore it without consequence.

As the Times of Israel observed, “The letter was sent just weeks before the 5 November US presidential election.” As a result, “its 13 November deadline would ostensibly mitigate some of the political fallout, given that US President Joe Biden will be a lame duck when deciding whether Israel has taken the necessary steps to ensure compliance” with the US demand.

In other words, no matter how many Palestinians are burned to death, torn to pieces, or starved, Blinken will continue to play his role in ensuring that Israel’s supply of bombs continues to flow unimpeded.

Israeli atrocities in north Gaza over the past weeks show the barbarity the Israeli leadership is capable of when all political and military restraints are lifted. As Reuters understatedly reported on 18 October:

With US elections approaching, Israel is rushing to inflict maximum damage on Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon and seizing the moment to carve out de facto buffer zones in a bid to create an irreversible reality before a new president takes office in January.

The race is on for a Final Solution in Gaza

Israel is now taking full advantage of an opportunity first created on 7 October last year.

When Hamas launched Operation al-Aqsa Flood, the Israeli military used attack helicopters, drones, and tanks to not only kill the attacking Hamas and other Palestinian resistance fighters, but also to burn hundreds of its own Israeli citizens to death in settlements (kibbutzim) and at the Nova rave, under the Hannibal Directive.

By framing these horrific deaths as Hamas’ doing and claiming it had suffered its own 9/11, Israel created a “unique and rare opportunity to evacuate the entire Gaza Strip,” in the words of the Misgav Institute for National Security & Zionist Strategy.

In a policy paper issued shortly after 7 October 2023, the institute wrote, “There is no doubt that in order for this plan to be enacted, many conditions need to exist in parallel. At the moment, these conditions exist, and it is unclear when such an opportunity will arise again, if at all.”

As the absolute carnage in Gaza unfolds, activists and politicians from Israel’s ruling Likud, Religious Zionism, and Jewish Power parties are waiting and watching for the mass expulsion and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to be complete.

Resettling Gaza

On the hills overlooking Gaza, Israeli settlers watch the falling bombs, eagerly awaiting the chance to re-enter the Strip and confiscate the land and property of the Palestinians being torn apart by US-made missiles and artillery.

At the same time, lawmakers from Israel’s ruling political parties held a conference to plan for Jewish re-settlement on the ruins of what they soon hope will be Gaza’s depopulated cities and refugee camps.

The settler movement’s leader, Daniella Weiss, told the crowd that Palestinians in Gaza would soon “disappear.”

We have political support, we have public support, and we have the experience … We plan to take what we have acquired in the years of settling Judea and Samaria and to do the same thing here in Gaza.

While Netanyahu continues to deny that the Generals’ Plan is being implemented, a journalist from his own propaganda outlet, Amit Segal of Channel 12, was not embarrassed to acknowledge the contrary.

We can keep denying that what’s happening [in north Gaza] is an implementation of the Generals’ Plan – emptying of the Strip, starving the terrorists, eliminating them, capturing them. In my opinion, that’s what’s happening here.

While celebrating the implementation of the Generals’ Plan, Israel’s political and media class are now awaiting the election of Donald Trump as US president to officially “change the borders of the Gaza Strip” for good.

This is not merely a regional conflict or war but a deliberate attempt at erasure and ethnic cleansing being carried out in real-time while the entire world, other than West Asia’s Axis of Resistance, watches on silently.

Horrible account:

We received a call from someone trapped under rubble:

“There are tens of wounded bleeding under rubble of their homes and in the streets. No one is coming for help. It seems that all my family members have been KILLED. I am under the rubble, but I am ok and I breathing well, I don’t hear any voice from my family members. I am hearing neighbours screaming. They are bleeding!”

What happened?
🚨israeli occupation forces claimed it had evacuated #Jabalia refugee camp of its residents.. It forced ambulance and civil defence services to shut down, and blockaded hospitals.

🚨Then, they planted explosive barrels in part of the refugee camp and detonated them, destroying 11 homes at the same time, killing and wounding more than 150 people!

In an effort to perhaps understand one another, I don't think anything I have found or posted is contradictory to this framework:

Quote:

(3) the Semitic languages are closely related to another language macro family, called the Hamitic one (best known languages: Pharaonic Egyptian and Berber); the pair is called Hamito-Semitic or Afroasiatic;

(4) Hamito-Semitic or Afroasiatic is in itself related to the other language macrofamilies belonging to the “Nostratic” "mega family" (the degree of proximity being under discussion): to Nostratic belong as well the Indo-European, the Uralic (Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, Sami), the Altaic (all Turkic languages, Mongolian, Korean, Japanese), the (South Indian) Dravidian (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam) and the Kartvelian (Georgian and other languages of the Caucasus) languages.

I think what I am trying to do is suss out a better explanation than "related to" and "degree of proximity". "Nostratic" = "Japhetic"?

So far, the part that does not seem obvious in the general framework is that South Arabian would have to represent a notably earlier immigration or expansion.

No one in the world has been able to explain or trace "Biblical Shem" in any substantial way, but, there is an "Aramaic Shem" which retains the story of what we might call "Abraham's passage", which are perhaps suggestive of a symbolic view of Aram and South Arabia from the "distant" pre-2,000 B. C. E. era. These potential symbols do not come with their own versions of kings' lists or genealogies, just the implication that "Aram" was meaningful for over a thousand years before becoming a *particular* king of Damascus in the post-Mycenean stage.


I haven't figured out what you were trying to suggest with "Greek Minoan B". You said you had questions about why the IVC architecture with its sanitation and other features was abandoned. This is very interesting, but is interior to India, and so for purposes of this thread, I will try to stick to how India was associated with/informative to the middle east. That happens to be by supplying the Lapis Lazuli and Tin, upon which all these middle eastern cultures are derived, and additional factors. These seem to include a huge lateral impact on the Greek language.

The point I was making is that nothing attests to the "event" of Thera's volcano/tsunamis, despite the standing connections to multiple trading partners, and "seizing the moment" after it happened.

My understanding is that Minoan A was a very different culture, whose continental associates were "driven underground" as oracles and mystery cults, in caves and remote wildernesses, because the original Cretans were rapidly replaced by Dorians or Myceneans. Hesiod may very well be symbolizing them as "Gold" and then lesser ages. From what we can tell, it means the spread of an oppressive oligarchy, for centuries until it decayed horribly, until Solomon and the King of Tyre seem to be the founders of "states" in the Phoenician and Hebrew groups, which is the same point that "Saba" is formed out of the South Arabians, while "Arab" is Jordanian. We can say Isfahan began cultivating Minoan Saffron here as well.

Now, of course, any prominent leaders at that time could have hardly been unaware of numerous natural disasters, such as two towns eliminated by earthquakes, but also the political system of recent kings. If this is on the table, and we figure out how to fashion something wise and good in response to it, then, we will find that David and Solomon's priesthood is replaced by a "class". The later exception to this is that Jesus is the Order of Melchizidek. He rebukes the standing socio-economic order in his first known appearance. If you meditate just on historical Solomon and Jesus, this can be done without necessarily as part of any one of the religions, and you would still get something good and wise out of it. There's no way it would tend towards Zionism in its current form. You'd have to make simple and obvious things much more difficult to understand, and perform illusion.
