• This Norwegian Doctor Worked For 16 Years In The Hospital That Hamas Would Use As Its "Headquarters"

Israel claims that Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital serves as a command center for Hamas. Norwegian physician Mads Gilbert, who has worked at Al-Shifa for 16 years says there is "no evidence at all" that that is the case.

"If it was a military command center, I would not work there."

Hamas uses Gaza's largest hospital as a command center, the Israeli army says . The Al-Shifa hospital would provide access to tunnels dug by Hamas, in which the group's terrorists are said to have hidden after the attack on Israel.

Norwegian doctor Mads Gilbert has worked at the hospital for 16 years and says there is no evidence to support this claim. “We've been hearing those claims since 2009,” he told Democracy Now! “Twice they threatened to bomb it.”

“I worked at Shifa Hospital during very hectic periods for 16 years,” Gilbert continued. “I was able to walk around freely, take photos and videos, I slept in the hospital during bombings, I went everywhere.”

• No Evidence Whatsoever

If there is a command center, show us, the doctor emphasized. “Why is there no evidence after 16 years?”
If it were a military command center, I wouldn't work there because I adhere to the Geneva Convention, said Gilbert, who has worked in hospitals in Gaza for decades. In his view, this is part of a large-scale intimidation campaign.

• Mass Murder of Civilians

The doctor pointed out that a child is killed every 10 minutes in Gaza. According to him, 3,324 Palestinian children have been killed in the past three weeks. In addition, 2,062 children are missing in Gaza.

Gilbert asks US President Biden and Vice President Harris what on earth they are doing. "Do you have any children? Do you accept that the Israeli army you support kills thousands of children?”

He calls for a ceasefire and wants the siege of Gaza lifted so that aid can reach residents. “My colleagues are overworked, they have been working day and night for three weeks. This has to stop. I don't need to use the word genocide, suffice it to say that this is mass murder of civilians.”

• Leaked video: This is what Netanyahu said about the Palestinians and the world in 2001:

A video is circulating on the internet in which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu unfolds his plans without any qualms. The images were taken in 2001 during an interview. Netanyahu is under the impression that the cameras are turned off.

In the video, Netanyahu, who refused to return to national politics in 2001, makes disparaging comments about the United States and the Palestinians. He also says that he was responsible for the failure of the Oslo Accords. The video was later leaked to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

• source

• Unbearable

Netanyahu says 'we must hit the Palestinians hard first'. “Not once, but several times, they have to suffer. So much pain that the price they pay will be unbearable.”

A full-scale attack on the Palestinian Authority, until they reach the point where they fear everything will collapse. The fear that everything will collapse. That is what we must achieve, Netanyahu said.

• "The World Will Say Nothing"

When asked whether he is not afraid that the world will see Israel as an occupier, he replied: “The world will say nothing. The world will say we are defending ourselves.”

“I know what the Americans are like. America is very easy to influence. They will not stand in our way,” he added. What if America does say something? “Then they say something, and then what? Eighty percent of Americans support us. It's absurd, but we have a lot of support there.”

Genocidal Onslaught on Gaza Shocks Conscience of the World, w/ Abby Martin
Rania Khalek and Abby Martin discuss the situation in Gaza and the continued gaslighting and propaganda by Israel and Zionists in the west (ie, our leaders). As the death toll rises daily how can we continue to watch this unacceptable nightmare without feeling complete revulsion?

(54.31 mins)
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has shocked the conscience of the entire world, with an endless flow of videos and images of Palestinian children cut into pieces by American bombs dropped by Israeli warplanes deliberately intended to destroy a civilian population. Despite the explicitly genocidal rhetoric of Israeli officials, Western leaders continue to proclaim their support for Israel’s right to “defend itself.” But this war on Gaza is different from past wars, not only in the level of Israeli aggression, but in the reaction on the street, from the Middle East to the United States. Israel is losing the narrative war. Most people want to see a ceasefire and tens of thousands have protested across the US to demonstrate their opposition to Biden’s unconditional support for this genocide.

A few minor adjustments which include some drone footage of a pile of Israeli soldiers that quit working:



Al-Qassam Brigades, along with Al-Quds Brigades, the military wings of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad resistance groups, announced their fighters were confronting several attempts by Israeli occupation forces to stage incursion into the coastal enclave.

On its Telegram Channel, Al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters hit 15 Israeli vehicles including 6 tanks in several areas where the Israeli occupation forces attempted to stage incursions in, including Erez crossing – northwest of Gaza -, Beit Hanoun, Zeitoun Neighborhood and south of the Gaza strip.

AL-Quds Brigades declared its fighters targeted gatherings of Israeli occupation forces in Erez crossing and Al-Atatera Neighborhood.

Occupation Army Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated that Israeli forces were engaging in “fierce, close-quarters battles” in Gaza, adding that “this type of combat endangers our forces and carries a heavy price,” which will demand “a great deal of resilience and patience” from the Israeli public in the coming weeks.

Abu Ubeida, the spokesman of Al-Qassam Brigades, stressed that the resistance views an Israeli ground invasion as an opportunity.

“We want to convey to our enemy that we are impatiently awaiting the opportunity to introduce [its forces] to new forms of demise.”

At precisely 14:30 on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, Islamic Resistance fighters launched guided missiles, targeting a Merkava tank in the proximity of the Branit Barracks, resulting in the tank’s destruction and inflicting casualties among its crew, with fatalities and injuries

Kim Iversen reveals documents leaked from the Israeli Intelligence Ministry that show Israel's plan to remove every last Palestinian from the Gaza strip.

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=DLSFy0H4AWA

The document shows three possible plans, but "Option C" is listed as the "best and final solution" (The words final solution were used by Nazis when discussing how to deal with the Jews of Europe. Initially it was a plan to ship them all to the island of Madagascar, but eventually shifted to using concentration camps for mass murder.)

Option C involves removing all Palestinians from the Gaza strip into the Sinai Penninsula (which is part of Egypt, although was occupied for more than a decade by Israel.)

Kim lays out how this might happen:

• The IDF will bomb the Gaza strip, starting in the north, pushing people towards the Egyptian border.
  
  
• Egypt, which is dependent on payments from the U.S., will be presuured to open up a humanitarian corridor.

And the whole operation will be financed by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Expel all Palestinians from Gaza, recommends Israeli gov’t ministry
An Intelligence Ministry document revealed by Local Call and +972 shows how the idea of population transfer to the Sinai is reaching official discussions.
https://www.972mag.com/intelligence-...tion-transfer/
By Yuval Abraham - October 30, 2023

The Israeli Ministry of Intelligence is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, according to an official document revealed in full for the first time by +972’s partner site Local Call yesterday.

The 10-page document, dated Oct. 13, 2023, bears the logo of the Intelligence Ministry — a small governmental body that produces policy research and shares its proposals with intelligence agencies, the army, and other ministries. It assesses three options regarding the future of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in the framework of the current war, and recommends a full population transfer as its preferred course of action. It also calls on Israel to enlist the international community in support of this endeavor. The document, whose authenticity was confirmed by the ministry, has been translated into English in full here on +972.

The existence of the document does not necessarily indicate that its recommendations are being considered by Israel’s defense establishment. Despite its name, the Intelligence Ministry is not directly responsible for any intelligence body, but rather independently prepares studies and policy papers that are distributed to the Israeli government and security agencies for review, but are not binding. The ministry’s annual budget is NIS 25 million and its influence is considered relatively small. It is currently headed by Gila Gamliel, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party.

However, the fact that an Israeli government ministry has prepared such a detailed proposal amid a large-scale military offensive on the Gaza Strip, following Hamas’ deadly assault and massacres in southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7, reflects how the idea of forced population transfer is being raised to the level of official policy discussions. Fears of such plans — which would constitute a serious war crime under international law — have grown in recent weeks, especially after the Israeli army ordered about 1 million Palestinians to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip ahead of escalating bombardment and incremental ground incursions.

The document recommends that Israel act to “evacuate the civilian population to Sinai” during the war; establish tent cities and later more permanent cities in the northern Sinai that will absorb the expelled population; and then create “a sterile zone of several kilometers … within Egypt, and [prevent] the return of the population to activities/residences near the border with Israel.” At the same time, governments around the world, led by the United States, must be mobilized to implement the move.

A source in the Intelligence Ministry confirmed to Local Call/+972 that the document was authentic, that it was distributed to the defense establishment by the ministry’s policy division, and “was not supposed to reach the media.”

UK issues D-Notices to suppress reports of SAS special forces operations in Gaza
By Robert Stevens | October 30th, 2023

Source: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/202.../phuq-o30.html

Britain’s Conservative government has issued notices to the media to suppress reports of the operations of the Special Air Service (SAS) in Gaza.

On Saturday, the Socialist Worker, newspaper of the Socialist Workers Party, revealed it had been sent a “D Notice” Saturday morning from the Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee requesting it not publish information relating to the operations of the SAS.

October 28 article in Socialist Worker revealing the D Notice [Photo: screenshot: Socialist Worker]

D Notices are used by the British state to veto the publication of news damaging to its interests. The slavish collusion of the mainstream media ensures that such notices function as gag orders. A high level branch of the state, the DSMA’s chair is Paul Wyatt, Director General Security Policy at the Ministry of Defence. Other committee members include the Deputy National Security Adviser, Cabinet Office; Director National Security at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office; Director National Security at the Home Office; and the Director National Security at the Ministry of Defence.

An article by Socialist Worker editor Charlie Kimber notes, “Specifically this ‘D notice’ concerned British special forces operating in the Middle East.” The e-mail to the media was from the DSMA secretary, Brigadier Geoffrey Dodds, he added.

Dodds states, “Reports have started to appear in some publications claiming that UK Special Forces have deployed to sensitive areas of the Middle East and then linking that deployment to hostage rescue/evacuation operations.

“May I take this opportunity to remind editors that publication of such information contravenes the DSMA notice code. I therefore advise that claims of such deployments should not be published nor broadcast without first seeking Defence and Security Media advice”.

He added, “This Notice aims to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of classified information about Special Forces and other MOD units engaged in security, intelligence and counter-terrorist operations, including their methods, techniques and activities.”

Dodds warned, “Such disclosure could reveal details of operations or operating methods and techniques before, during and after their execution which would bestow an advantage on an adversary which could endanger national security and increase the risk to UK lives.”

The SWP notes, “The Daily Mail newspaper, which has the right sort of contacts for such a story [referred to by Dodds], had reported, ‘UK’s elite SAS on ‘standby in Cyprus’ to rescue British hostages held captive in Gaza by Hamas’.”

The Mail’s story, published October 28, was largely culled from a piece printed in the Sun October 27. Published as an exclusive, this was headlined, “SAS troops on standby in Cyprus to rescue hostages and Brits stranded in Gaza”.

The article reports that “Some 200 Brits are stranded in Gaza after Israel and Egypt sealed the strip’s borders and five are held there by Hamas terrorists.” So the “elite soldiers are also braced to free UK citizens trapped by the bloodbath.”

The Sun notes, “Britain’s military bases in Cyprus offer a strategic presence in the eastern Med.” It adds, “And the SAS sabre squadron has been joined on the island by a 100-strong crisis command team.”

Just how the SAS are supposed to rescue around 200 hostages and a further 200 British citizens in Gaza in the middle of carpet bombing and a ground invasion by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is not explained by the Sun, though the Mail notes that a former SAS soldier has warned that such an attempt could “end in disaster… It will be a complete and utter nightmare.”

Moreover, it is highly likely that there are no hostages left alive, such is the intensity of Israeli bombing of the tunnels in Gaza City, where it is understood they were being held.

According to a statement by the Gaza Strip media office issued on October 24, Israel had by that point already dropped more than 12,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip since October 7, “The explosive force of these explosives is equivalent to the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in Japan”, it stated, adding, “An average of 33 tons of explosives were dropped per square kilometer on the Palestinian enclave since Israel started its aggression”.

The bombing has only intensified since.

The SAS is not on standby in Cyprus on some mercy mission to rescue hostages. What the story points to is the preparation by the SAS to work alongside the IDF in Gaza as part of the Netanyahu government’s declared aim to “wipe Hamas off the face of the earth”—in the words of retired army general and minister without portfolio Benny Gantz.

Benjamin Netanyahu himself is no stranger to special forces operations having himself once been a team leader in Sayeret Matkal, Israel’s equivalent of the SAS, who even have the same “Who Dares Wins” motto. Both of Netanyahu’s brothers also served in the unit.

Dodds is a senior military figure, notably a specialist in military planning. His biography on the DSMA website states that he took up the post of secretary in November 2016. “Prior to that he spent 36 years in the British Army as a Sapper Officer serving operationally in command appointments in the Falkland Islands, Bosnia, Kosovo and Iraq. He has also served in United Nations Headquarters as a military planner, in various NATO posts and in military diplomatic appointments worldwide.”

Britain’s deepening involvement in two NATO-led wars, Ukraine and now Gaza, demands a clampdown on democratic rights, including media freedoms, and censorship of the crimes involved. Yet such is the self-censorship practised by the national media that in most cases the Defence and Security Media Advisory functions only in the capacity of sending out politely worded requests to its Committee members, including the Scottish Newspaper Society, the Press Association, the BBC, ITN, ITV, Sky TV and the Society of Editors.

In the minutes of a meeting of the DSMA held at the Ministry of Defence, it is recorded that a report delivered by Dodds noted with satisfaction that from October 27, 2022 to April 10, 2023, “no supplementary notices had been issued in the period” and that this was “positive, since the issue of these notices inevitably meant that sensitive information had not been contained at an earlier stage.”

No-one would ever hear of any D Notices being ordered were it not for independent media sources revealing them. The Socialist Worker’s article on the latest D Notice links to an earlier report, from April 1, 2022, that the newspaper was subject to another request that it not report on Ukrainian troops being trained by UK troops, a fact that the Times newspaper had already made public.

Two months earlier, Declassified UK revealed it had been asked by the DSMA to “remove part of our story revealing British support for an African dictatorship” [Cameroon], which it refused to do.
