The October 7 “Mass Rape” story has been proven to be a hoax after 15 months

Israeli prosecutors admitted that not even one rape complaint was filed following the Hamas-led October 7 attack. Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers have been committing systematic rape and sexual violence against Palestinians, all ignored by Western media.

We're going to have to smell our way through this one folks:

Amid consistent violence, efforts to broker a ceasefire remain fraught with challenges, leaving the prospect of a resolution uncertain.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the urgency of reaching a truce before the end of President Joe Biden’s term on the 20th of January. Speaking at a news conference in South Korea on Monday, Blinken expressed optimism, stating, “We very much want to cross the finish line within the next two weeks, which is the time we have left.” His remarks came after a senior Hamas official revealed to Reuters that the resistance group had approved a list of 34 Israeli detainees to be released as part of a truce agreement.

Meanwhile, “Israel” has dispatched a delegation of mid-level officials to Qatar for negotiations mediated by Qatari and Egyptian representatives. The team is expected to be joined by David Barnea, the head of Mossad, who is spearheading the talks.

Gaza Post-war Governance

In related developments, Reuters news agency reported that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is engaged in confidential discussions with “Israel” and the US regarding Gaza’s post-war governance. The proposed plan envisions temporary oversight of Gaza by the UAE and the US to manage governance, security, and reconstruction until a Palestinian government is ready to assume full control.

An Emirati official emphasized the “necessity of reforming and empowering the Palestinian Authority (PA) as a prerequisite for the plan.”

This vision includes the “establishment of a credible roadmap toward an independent Palestinian state encompassing the West Bank, East Al-Quds (Jerusalem), and Gaza,” according to the report.

Among the proposals put forth by Abu Dhabi is the use of private military contractors to form a peacekeeping police force for post-war Gaza, Reuters reported, adding that however, the “plan remains contingent on significant reforms within the Palestinian Authority.”

Hamas Stance

Hamas has responded to these developments, with senior leader Osama Hamdan expressing the movement’s willingness to transfer Gaza’s administration to a Palestinian-led national unity government or a government composed of national elites.

Nonetheless, Hamdan reiterated Hamas’s rejection of external interference in post-war governance arrangements. Speaking at a press conference in Algeria, Hamdan affirmed that Hamas’s delegation in Doha remains steadfast in its demands, which include a complete withdrawal of the IOF, the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, and unrestricted reconstruction efforts in Gaza.

Addressing the ongoing ceasefire negotiations, Hamdan stated that no definitive outcomes were expected at this stage. He also emphasized the continued strength of the resistance, which he said is inflicting significant losses on the IOF.

When questioned about a potential successor to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Hamdan assured that internal arrangements were in place, and an announcement regarding the movement’s leadership would be made soon.

The UAE thinks Palestinian Authority is something it can impose.

Biden thinks that Gaza is his "gratis" to Israel, which just needs to be stopped in his term, a year after his weeks of tolerance ran out.

Hamas rejects any type of foreign governance, these rubes have been told that every single time since the beginning. Every new proposal always has external attachments. It's just the same. Biden has two weeks left of failing at the same thing.

Iran has deployed a powerful drone that can go 4,000km all the way to Paris. Using satellite technology, it can therefor deliver a much more powerful payload with greater precision than most strike drones. I don't want to eat one for breakfast, but you-know-who is asking for it.

Amid Reports of Progress in Hostage Talks, Netanyahu's Interests Again Coincide With Hamas'

"The government's actions pose a direct threat to Israeli democracy within the Green Line, and it's likely that hostages are being killed as a result of IDF activity. While 'the Trump effect' could bring good news about a deal, there's no point counting on American intervention in democracy's defense" (continued)

"The government's actions pose a direct threat to Israeli democracy within the Green Line, and it's likely that hostages are being killed as a result of IDF activity.

Yes. After finding a dead father and son:



A senior official from Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, stated in an interview with Al-Jazeera that most Israeli prisoners in the northern Gaza area are now considered missing due to ongoing Israeli enemy aggression. The official emphasized that the brigades had repeatedly warned about the consequences of Israeli occupation actions in Gaza.



Operation Rescue Israelis hasn't accomplished anything yet. Besides proving the ZOF can neither formulate a goal, nor succeed. Exactly how any of that may have pertained to "democracy's defense" is moot, just another run at charming your ears. End the occupation.

Journalist Jonathan Cook has drawn attention to an updated paper in The Lancet which has revised the likely truer total of the number of deaths in Gaza, upward This much is obvious to those of us subject to the terrible footage we have seen over the last 15 months. More appallingly still the figures are estimated, based on identifiable remains: heaven only knows what the real figure is. Remember, these are civilian fatalities.

Summary
Background Accurate mortality estimates help quantify and memorialise the impact of war. We used multiple data sources to estimate deaths due to traumatic injury in the Gaza Strip between Oct 7, 2023, and June 30, 2024.

Methods We used a three-list capture–recapture analysis using data from Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) hospital lists, an MoH online survey, and social media obituaries. After imputing missing values, we fitted alternative generalised linear models to the three lists’ overlap structure, with each model representing different possible dependencies among lists and including covariates predictive of the probability of being listed; we averaged the models to estimate the true number of deaths in the analysis period (Oct 7, 2023, to June 30, 2024). Resulting
annualised age-specific and sex-specific mortality rates were compared with mortality in 2022.

Findings We estimated 64 260 deaths (95% CI 55 298–78525) due to traumatic injury during the study period, suggesting the Palestinian MoH under-reported mortality by 41%. The annualised crude death rate was 39·3 per 1000 people (95% CI 35·7–49·4), representing a rate ratio of 14·0 (95% CI 12·8–17·6) compared with all-cause mortality in 2022, even when ignoring non-injury excess mortality. Women, children (aged <18 years), and older people (aged ≥65 years) accounted for 16699 (59·1%) of the 28257 deaths for which age and sex data were available.

Interpretation Our findings show an exceptionally high mortality rate in the Gaza Strip during the period studied. These results underscore the urgent need for interventions to prevent further loss of life and illuminate important patterns in the conduct of the war.

Jonathan Cook summarised, as follows:

A new Lancet study finds that Gaza has massively undercounted the numbers killed in Israeli attacks.

The Lancet argues that the most likely death toll from traumatic injuries alone stood at more than 64,000 – *seven* months ago. Most of the dead were women and children. The figure will be far, far higher now.

The Lancet study specifically excludes those dying from other causes Israel is responsible for: such as starvation from its aid blockade; the spread of disease from its destruction of water and sanitation facilities; and the lack of medical treatment because Israel has destroyed all Gaza's medical facilities.

It was obvious that Gaza's hospitals and health ministry, which now barely function after Israel's 16-month rampage, long ago lost the ability to count the enclave's dead.

Every journalist who colluded in spreading Israel's obvious disinformation that the Gaza figures were inflated should be shamed to the end of their days. That very much includes the BBC's Middle East staff.

Trump shares video calling Netanyahu ‘a deep, dark SOB’
Relations between the incoming US president and the Israeli PM have often been rocky

US President-elect Donald Trump has shared a video of an interview with Jeffrey Sachs in which the American economist calls Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a deep, dark son of a b***h.”

Trump posted the clip on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday without comment. In the two-minute video, Sachs accuses former US President Barack Obama of arming jihadists in Syria in a bid to overthrow Bashar Assad’s government. Sachs also condemns former President George Bush’s 2003 invasion of Iraq, and accuses Netanyahu of goading Bush into launching the two-decade war and pushing for US intervention in Syria and Iran.

“He’s still trying to get us to fight Iran this day, this week,” Sachs says at the end of the clip. “He’s a deep, dark, son of a b***h… because he’s gotten us into endless wars.”

Trump was a close ally of Netanyahu during his term in the White House, and described himself as “history’s most pro-Israel US president.” He imposed sanctions on Iran at Netanyahu’s request, moved the US embassy in Israel to West Jerusalem, and brokered the Abraham Accords, which saw Israel normalize relations with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan.

However, the two seemingly fell out after Netanyahu congratulated President Joe Biden while Trump was still attempting to challenge Biden’s electoral victory in the courts in late 2020.

“I liked Bibi. I still like Bibi. But I also like loyalty,” Trump told Axios in 2021, using a nickname for the Israeli PM. “The first person to congratulate Biden was Bibi. And not only did he congratulate him, he did it on tape,” Trump continued, adding: “I haven’t spoken to him since. F**k him.”

Trump and Netanyahu have gotten back in contact in the meantime, with the pair speaking multiple times this year. Last month, Netanyahu said that he and Trump “had a very friendly, warm and important discussion” by phone, focused on Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.

Trump has publicly called on Israel to “finish up” the war. During a meeting with Netanyahu at the Republican’s Mar-a-Lago estate in October, then-candidate Trump reportedly told the Israeli premier that he wanted to see the conflict resolved by the time he takes office later this month.

The incoming president has also warned Hamas that there will be “all hell to pay in the Middle East” if the Palestinian militants do not free their remaining Israeli hostages before inauguration day.

Netanyahu has repeatedly stated that the Israel Defense Forces will continue to wage war until they achieve “total victory” over Hamas, and that Israel will maintain “full security control” over the enclave afterwards.

Netanyahu will not attend Trump’s inauguration, an aide to the PM told the Times of Israel on Thursday, without commenting further.

Answering The Burning Question? Is President Trump a Zionist !!!

Further to Rizotto post 7325. Possibly, considering this does President Trump support the Palestinian genocide, Israel incursion into Syria and so on. I think not.

What kicked it all of ...

On twitter ...

WOW — Trump just posted a video of how Netanyahu was responsible for dragging America into the Iraq War.

In the video, the man (Jeffrey Sachs) describes Netanyahu as a "deep, dark son of a bitch." 💀

The fallout ...

Israeli PM Netanyahu has reportedly cancelled plans to attend Trump’s inauguration.

This comes after Trump shared a Truth Social post of Jeffrey Sachs ripping Netanyahu as a “deep, dark son of a b*tch” aiming to drag America into MidEast wars.

Why Would He (Netanyahu) Not Attend The 2025 Inauguration?

D. Trump avoided a handshake with Netanyahu.

D. Trump cursed Netanyahu out.

D. Trump didn't come to his defense when ICC came after Netanyahu.

D. Trump didn't denounce leaders who put sanctions on Netanyahu.

All the while this is going on you have people who can not seem to not see that D. Trump has never really supported B. Netanyahu to the extent where it has undermined America.

So I do not know why people are shocked that B. Netanyahu is not attending as I presume he had already intended on doing so for various reasons. He is behind so many attacks against this nation.

The floodgates on his crimes will open and people will realize that our congress was bought & paid for by Israel a long time ago. Thomas Massie spoke on a bill that passed a few days ago that was meant to protect Israel from the ICC.

Must watch this 8 minute video by the Grayzone. Quoting what the next (most likely) Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Poilievre's answered to a reporter's question:

"The idea of allowing a genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people, to develop nuclear weapons is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow."

Polievre's words above most accurately describe Israel! Right? That's what most informed people would think, right?

But then Poilievre continues:

"And if Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity."

Regrettably, the Conservative Party of Canada has since the Harper years loudly proclaimed support to Israel, no matter what they do. The Cons just ignore Israel's crimes, including the fact that Israel does have nuclear weapons in violation of international law, an indication that the zionist deep state has also infiltrated Canada (as well as most western nations).

But I'm disgusted, and will never vote for this Conservative Party as long as they keep that position on Israel. There may not be anyone I could vote for come the elections (in April?). The People's Party of Canada is the only party with a reasonable platform, but last elections none of their candidates were voted in as MP. Canadians have been terrified that vote splitting might make the Liberals win again. This attitude will soon change, hopefully, as Turdeau's Liberals ratings are in the toilet, never been so low in the polls, so they're no competition.
