BLOOMBERG HAD A STORY ON JONES NOW TODAY MAR 11,24. ALEX HAD TO ADMIT
ANY MINUTE HIS INFOWARS SHOW COULD BE TAKIN OFF THE AIR.AS THE TRUSTEES
AND JONES ARE HAVING DISAGREEING.
March 11, 2024, 12:12 PM EDT-Alex Jones’ Media Company Reorganization Doubtful, Trustee Says-Alex Wolf
The
parent company of Alex Jones’ Infowars program appears unlikely to
reorganize in bankruptcy following an irreparable feud between the
company’s chief officer and lead attorney, a court-appointed trustee
said.Efforts to rehabilitate Free Speech Systems LLC in Chapter 11 are
about to fail, trustee Melissa Haselden told the US Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Texas in a one-page brief on Sunday. The
trustee’s statement comes as Free Speech’s chief restructuring officer,
Patrick Magill, is asking to replace lead attorney Ray Battaglia after
both men said their relationship was “fundamentally broken.”The dispute,
which was recently made public in a series of heavily-redacted briefs,
is raising questions about the company’s path out of bankruptcy and bid
to settle about $1.5 billion in claims held by the families of Sandy
Hook School shooting victims through a Chapter 11 plan. The company is
scheduled to appear in court on March 25 to seek approval of its
proposed reorganization plan, but it’s unclear how Battaglia’s motion to
withdraw and Magill’s bid to swap legal representation may affect the
course of the case.“In the interest of transparency, the Trustee has
concluded that the case is quickly approaching, if it has not already
arrived, at a place in which a reorganization is not possible,” Hadelden
said in Sunday’s filing.Free Speech has outstanding litigation filed
against a dietary supplement provider indirectly owned by Jones and his
father, accusing the Infowars vendor of receiving millions in insider
payments.A group of Sandy Hook families said in a March 8 filing that
they’re particularly concerned about an apparent accusation lodged by
Magill that Battaglia “was not independent, particularly with respect to
the debtor’s sole shareholder, Alex Jones.”“The Connecticut families
are bewildered by the various finger-pointing that underlies the current
dispute,” the group said. “But more importantly, they are concerned
about the pattern of dysfunction revealed by the pleadings and the fact
that none of these events were brought to the creditors’ or the court’s
attention in advance.”If the company is going to replace its counsel, it
should do so at minimal cost and object to Battaglia’s fees if he acted
under a conflict of interest or refused to follow Magill’s
instructions, the families said.The parties are scheduled to appear in
court Monday afternoon regarding the requests to switch counsel.Jones
and his right-wing media company filed separate bankruptcy cases in 2022
after losing state court defamation cases for calling the 2012 school
shooting a hoax.The Sandy Hook families last month voted 100% in favor
of a Chapter 11 plan for Jones that would liquidate and redistribute his
property and cash.The trustee is represented by The Law Office of Liz
Freeman.The Connecticut families are represented by Paul Weiss Rifkind
Wharton & Garrison LLP, Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder PC, and Cain
& Skarnulis PLLC.Free Speech’s proposed counsel is O’ConnorWechsler
PLLC.The case is In re Free Speech Systems LLC, Bankr. S.D. Tex., No.

Infowars bankruptcy lawyer wants out of company's Chapter 11 case-By Dietrich Knauth-March 4, 20245:53 PM EST
March
4 (Reuters) - The lawyer responsible for guiding Alex Jones' media
company through bankruptcy will ask a judge for permission to drop out
of the case at a court hearing next week, saying he has irreparable
disagreements with the company's management.U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Christopher Lopez in Houston, Texas, said on Friday that he would
convene an emergency hearing on March 11 to consider a request by Ray
Battaglia, who has been lead bankruptcy counsel for Infowars' parent
company Free Speech Systems since 2022 after Battaglia said his
relationship with the company's chief restructuring officer, Patrick
Magill is "fundamentally broken."Magill, who is in charge of day-to-day
operations at FSS, has withheld Battaglia's legal fees for January and
February as "blatant retaliation" for a Jan. 25 disagreement about
whether or not FSS should pursue litigation over a legal claim,
Battaglia said in a Feb. 29 court filing. Battaglia did not describe the
legal claim, but he said that pursuing it would be "ill advised."Magill
did not immediately respond to a request for comment.FSS and Jones
filed for bankruptcy after being sued over Jones' repeated lies about
the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre.A judge has since ruled
that Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to avoid paying at least
$1.1 billion in defamation verdicts that the families have won against
Jones in court cases in Connecticut and Texas. The families of the Sandy
Hook shooting victims have voted for a bankruptcy plan that would
liquidate Jones' assets, if approved in court.FSS' bankruptcy, which was
filed before the defamation verdicts, is proceeding in parallel with
Jones' personal bankruptcy. The company initially said it would attempt
to reach a settlement with the Sandy Hook families, but the defamation
cases proceeded to judgment without a settlement with FSS.Battaglia has
"zealously" represented FSS since becoming lead counsel in September
2022, but he never intended to be the company's lead lawyer, according
to his motion.Battaglia, a solo practitioner, was hired as co-counsel
when FSS filed for bankruptcy in July 2022, but he became the company's
sole bankruptcy lawyer after its other lawyers were kicked off the case
due to a conflict of interest.Battaglia initially balked at Lopez's
decision to disqualify them, telling the judge, "I can't do this
alone."Battaglia then hired Magill to take over the company's day-to-day
operations, and the two men initially had a "constructive working
relationship," according to Battaglia's court filing.The case is In re:
Free Speech Systems, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Texas, No. 22-60043-Reporting by Dietrich Knauth in New York.

We are committed toward the re-election of our President Donald J. Trump
Donald
J. Trump has been one of the most effective leaders in modern history
despite the constant attacks from the media, liberal groups, the courts
and even members of his own party. President Trump has continued to
fight to make America great for all Americans. “Donald Trump gets it:
he's the genuine article. He's a doer in a game usually reserved for
talkers and when Donald Trump does his talking, he doesn't tiptoe around
the thousand new rules of political correctness.”Mike

Truck drivers who support former president Donald
Trump have voiced that they won’t be driving to New York City to
underscore their disappointment with the civil fraud judgment that fined
Mr Trump more than $350m.On 16 February, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled
that Mr Trump, his two sons, Trump Organization associates and Trump
properties were liable for tens of millions of dollars. While Mr Trump —
and his companies and his trust — were ordered to pay over $350m plus
interest, his sons were also ordered to pay roughly $4m. Many truck
drivers across the country have seemingly taken issue with the ruling.A
man known online as Chicago Ray posted a video on X following the
decision: “I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the past
hour and I’ve talked to about 10 drivers” He added that truckers are
going to “stop refusing loads starting on Monday.”“I don’t know how far
across the country this is or how many truckers are going to start
denying loads going to New York City, but I’ll tell you what — you f***
around and find out,” he said.“We’re tired of you f***ing leftists
f***ing with Trump,” he continued, while wearing a Trump-branded cap.
“Our bosses ain’t going to care if we deny the loads. We’ll just go
somewhere else, alright? You know how f***ing hard it is to get into New
York City in one of these [vehicles]?”“Truckers out for Trump,” he
said, before reciting one of Mr Trump’s lines, calling the ruling
“election interference.”The video seemed to gain some traction. As of
Sunday morning, the phrase “Boycott NYC” was trending on X, with more
than 13,000 posts mentioning the term.It’s unclear whether the boycott
will actually manifest. But Chicago Ray isn’t the only one who has
voiced opposition to the civil fraud ruling.Elena Cardone, the wife of
wealthy real estate investor Grant Cardone, created a GoFundMe page —
called “Stand with Trump; Fund the $355M Unjust Judgment.” Her husband
explained on X that “100% of funds will be forwarded to Trump Org for
his defense of this ridiculous judgement.”On the page, she wrote: “I
stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see
as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in
New York.”Since Ms Cardone launched the fundraiser, it has already raked
in over $240,000.The strong reaction to the civil fraud judgment could
serve as a bellwether of how America will respond to the outcomes of the
now-ongoing court cases that Mr Trump is facing in federal and state
courts.

fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
16 When I
shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their
destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase

from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to
him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and
gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully
ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and
gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of
the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the

the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land
desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for
their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the
arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the
terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of
her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his
fierce anger.

17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of
the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are
open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed
like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it;
and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass
in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that
are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and

10
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself
in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his
heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him
into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal
with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And
strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left
him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen,
and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the
people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14To
the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for
their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither
their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they
are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the
midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.(HELL).
15Thus
saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a
mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods
thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn
for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made
the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to
hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the
choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in
the nether parts of the earth.
17They also went down into hell with
him unto [them that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his
arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18To
whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of
Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the
nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the
uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh
and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZEKIEL 32:17-32
17
It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the
month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Son of
man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, [even] her,
and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the
earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20
They shall fall in the midst of [them that are] slain by the sword: she
is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
21 The
strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with
them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain
by the sword.
22 Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves [are] about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
23
Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round
about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused
terror in the land of the living.
24 There [is] Elam (IRAN) and all
her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the
sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the
earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have
they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
25 They
have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her
graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the
sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet
have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put
in the midst of [them that be] slain.
26 There [is] Meshech,
Tubal,(RUSSIA) (GERMANY, TURKEY) and all her multitude: her graves [are]
round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though
they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27And they shall
not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the uncircumcised, which
are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid
their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their
bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the
living.
28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.
29
There [is] Edom,(JORDAN) her kings, and all her princes, which with
their might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword: they shall
lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
30
There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the
Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they
are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that
be] slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to
the pit.
31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all
his multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith
the Lord GOD.
32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the
living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with
[them that are] slain with the sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his
multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will
bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them
clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and
shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6
Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of
the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with
thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and
prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto
thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is
brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against
the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of
them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a
cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that
at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think
an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of
unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell
safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand
upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people
that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and
goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and
the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say
unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company
to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY
RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my
people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And
thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many
people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a
mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel,
as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I
will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I
shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my
servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to
pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in
my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my
presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places
shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will
call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord
GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will
plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with
blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many
people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,
fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I
will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am
the LORD.

prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I
will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION
RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up
from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy
bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the
people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of
every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6
And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that
dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and
I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen
shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall
set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the
bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall
burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood
out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they
shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that
spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a
place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the
east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and
there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it
The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to
them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through
the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of
the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they
search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any
seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers
have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves,
and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of
the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams,
of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall
see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon
them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity
for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I
my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so
fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity
of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be
jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame,
and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when
they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I
have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their
enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to
be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto
their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my
spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

MILLION MOSTLY MUSLIM COUNTRY MIGRANTS. AND WHO KNOWS PROBABLY 2 MILLION
OF THE 10 ARE IN THE USA ILLEGALLY. JUST READY TO DO TERRORIST ATTACKS
ON THE BIG SATAN 3RD WORLD COUNTRY AMERICA. AS WELL AS THE LITTLE SATAN
IRAEL. WELL I GOT NEWS FOR THE MUSLIM COCKROACH COUNTRIES, ISRAEL HAS
THE GOD AND CREATOR OF EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING ON THEIR SIDE. AND NOW
MARCH TILL MAY THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS ARE IN ISRAEL. SO USE
BETTER NOT TRY ANY THING STARTING TODAY ON THIS RAMADAN. BECAUSE ISRAEL
WILL BE DOING THE NUKING. LEAD BY GOD OF COURSE. WHO WILL BE IN CONTROL
OF THE SPACE JUDGEMENTS ON THIS MUSLIM HOARDE. GOD WILL SEND A RAGING
STORM, 90 POUND HAIL STONES, A GIANT QUAKE THAT WILL SWALLOW UP MUSLIMS
IN A BIG SINK HOLE. THE MUSLIM HORDE WILL BE DIZZY FROM THE BIG QUAKE
AND WILL KILL EACH OTHER BY FRIENDLY FIRE. AND THE QUAKE FROM THE ATOMIC

(THE FIRST BASTARD CHILD-ARAB) IN ONE SHOT.
AND I GOT A QUESTION
FOR THE ISLAMIC COCKROACH BELIEF. ISHMAEL LIVED AT SAUDI ARABIA. SO HOW
COULD YOUR PEDOPHILE SO CALLED LEADER MOHAMMID BECOME THE LEADER OF
ISLAM. WHEN DID ISHMAEL AND MOHAMMID MEET TO DECIDE HE WAS THE ISLAMIC
DEATH CULT LEADER INSTEAD OF ISHMAEL. THE FIRST MUSLIM ARAB ON EARTH. IS
MY QUESTION. WE KNOW WHEN MOHAMMID CLAIMED HE WENT TO HEAVEN. IT WAS
SATAN THAT DECIEVED MOHAMMID TO BELIEVE HE WAS GOD IN HEAVEN. AND I KNOW
THAT BECAUSE IN ISAIH 14:12-14 HOW SATAN GOT BOOTED OUT OF HEAVEN
BECAUSE OF PRIDE AND REBELLION. AND HAD BAD I AM) GOD DELUTION TROUBLE).
AND 1/3 OF ALL THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN WERE BOOTED WITH SATAN FOR THE SAME
REASON. AND THE WORD FOR SATAN IN THERE WAS SON OF THE MORNING (WHICH IN
HEBREW MEANS CRECENT MOON). SO I KNOW FOR SURE SATAN IS THE LEADER OF
ISLAM. AND IF MUHAMMID MET WITH SATAN. WE KNOW FOR SURE. THATS WHY ANY
MURDER, PEDOPHILIA, SIN GOES. NO WONDER THE SO CALLED LEADER OF ISLAM
MOHAMMID MARRIED A 6 YEAR OLD GIRL. AND STARTED HAVING SEX WITH HER AT 9
YEARS OLD. SINCE SATAN IS THE LEADER BEHIND ISLAM. NOW WE KNOW WHY ON OCT
7TH WHY THE SEX SIN AND MURDER ANY WAY POSSIBLE AGAINST THE INNOCENT
ISRAELI WOMEN, CHILDREN AND MEN. I WOULD STILL LOVE TO KNOW THOUGH. WHY
ISHMAEL WHO WAS THE 1ST ARAB (MUSLIM) ON EARTH. IS NOT THE LEADER OF
THIS SATANIC DEATH CULT. BUT MOHAMMID IS.
PM:
'You have an issue with the entire people of Israel' US criticism of
Israel encourages Hamas, Netanyahu says in Fox News interview-In
response to mounting criticism from the Biden administration, PM says
Israelis are united behind the war aims and opposition to Palestinian
state-By Lazar Berman-Today, 6:12 pm-MAR 11,24
Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that perceived disagreements between
the US and Israel make it harder to defeat Hamas.“To the extent that
Hamas believes that there’s daylight between us, that doesn’t help,”
Netanyahu said in a Fox News interview in the wake of intensified
criticism from US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris
over the weekend.Agreement between the two allies, on the other hand,
“helps the war effort, and it helps our efforts to achieve victory and
obviously the release of the hostages,” he added.On Saturday, Biden
asserted that Netanyahu is “hurting Israel more than helping Israel”
with his handling of the war against Hamas.“You don’t have an issue with
me,” said Netanyahu told “Fox and Friends.” “You have an issue with the
entire people of Israel. They’re really united as never before, united
to destroy Hamas, and ensure that we don’t have another Palestinian
terror state like the one that we had in Gaza that could threaten the
State of Israel.”The comments appeared to be a rebuke of White House
messaging seemingly telegraphing unhappiness with Netanyahu, while still
signaling strong support for Israel, by highlighting gaps between
Israelis’ interests and those of their prime minister.The idea was
underlined by Harris, who said Saturday that it was important to avoid
conflating the Israeli government and Israeli people.Netanyahu responded
in a similar fashion in an interview on Sunday, telling Politico that
if Biden thinks “that I’m pursuing private policies against the wish of
the majority of Israelis, and that this is hurting the interests of
Israel, then he’s wrong on both counts.”“These are not my private
policies only,” he claimed. “They are policies supported by the
overwhelming majority of Israelis.”On Monday, Netanyahu maintained that
there has been broad agreement between himself and Biden, and they both
agree that civilians need to be evacuated from Rafah before an IDF
operation there.“The president and I have agreed that we have to destroy
Hamas. We can’t leave a quarter of the Hamas terror army in place there
in Rafah,” he said. “We have agreements on the basic goals, but we also
have disagreements. Ultimately, it’s Israel that has to decide.”Hitting
back at Biden’s comment that entering Rafah was a “red line” for him,
Netanyahu said that leaving the Hamas forces there intact is “a red
line. We can’t let Hamas survive.”“We are not getting off the gas” in
the war on Hamas, he insisted.In a possible signal to the US president,
who is seen as pressuring Israel in order to appeal to progressive
voters ahead of the November election, Netanyahu pointed at polling that
shows that “82% of Americans support Israel against Hamas.”Asked about
Biden’s hot mic comment at the State of the Union that he and Netanyahu
need to have a “come to Jesus” conversation, Netanyahu said he is “not
familiar with that term, even though Jesus was born not that far from
here.”“If it means a heart-to-heart conversation, we had that plenty of
times in the 40 years I’ve known Joe Biden, and over the 12 or 13
conversations we’ve had over the course of the war,” said
Netanyahu.Netanyahu said Israel is “very close to victory,” and that it
“will come sooner the more united we are.”“One way or the other, we’re
going to do it,” he pledged.A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office
distributing Sunday’s Politico interview clip stated explicitly in its
title that Netanyahu was responding directly to Biden. The PMO did not
distribute clips from the Fox News interview on Monday.An Israeli
official told The Times of Israel on Sunday afternoon that Netanyahu’s
decision to grant an interview to Politico was made after Biden’s State
of the Union address on Thursday in which the president warned that
humanitarian aid “cannot be a secondary consideration or a bargaining
chip,” lamented the fact most of the “more than 30,000 Palestinians”
killed in Gaza were not Hamas members, and said “the only real solution”
to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “is a two-state solution.”The
Israeli official said Netanyahu’s office believes Politico is read by
Biden and his aides, and was therefore a fitting outlet in which to
respond.In a hard-hitting interview aired by MSNBC Saturday, Biden
highlighted deep US concerns over civilian deaths in Gaza and called the
planned IDF operation in southern Gaza’s Rafah a “red line.”He also
said there was no way he was going “to cut off all weapons [to Israel]
so that they don’t have the Iron Dome [missile defense system] to
protect them,” but did not pledge to maintain supplies of offensive
weaponry.There have been multiple reports in recent weeks that Biden is
fed up with Netanyahu, including that he has referred to the prime
minister as an “asshole” in private on multiple occasions.Biden has
expressed frustration to confidants, according to NBC News, over his
“inability to persuade Israel to change its military tactics in Gaza.”He
has publicly denounced Netanyahu’s hard-right coalition and become
increasingly public about his frustration with the Israeli government’s
unwillingness to open more land crossings for critically needed aid to
make its way into Gaza. In his State of the Union speech, he announced
plans to build a temporary port on the Gaza coast to facilitate direct
delivery of aid.The president’s criticisms in the MSNBC interview also
reflected intensified frustration following a mass-casualty incident on
February 29 in which dozens of Palestinians were killed while trying to
collect humanitarian aid in Gaza City, where law and order has collapsed
amid desperate conditions.He is also flummoxed by Netanyahu’s rejection
of deals that the US president thinks are a win for Israel, like Saudi
normalization in exchange for movement toward a Palestinian state.The
Washington Post reported in February that the US and several Arab
partners were preparing a detailed plan for a comprehensive peace deal
between Israel and the Palestinians that includes a “firm timeline” for a
Palestinian state.Biden’s vision for the end of the war, rejected by
Israel, starts with an extended truce and a hostage deal, followed by
Arab stakeholders helping to rehabilitate the Strip, a reformed
Palestinian Authority returning to govern the enclave, Saudi Arabia
normalizing ties with Israel, the creation of a pathway toward a
Palestinian state and the bolstering of broader regional alignment
against Iran.Netanyahu’s government insists fighting cannot end until
Hamas is completely destroyed, which necessitates expanding the military
operation to Rafah, along Gaza’s border with Egypt. It has also
rejected the PA having a role in governing postwar Gaza, noting
Ramallah’s lack of condemnation for the October 7 massacre in southern
Israel, in which some 1,200 were slaughtered and 253 were kidnapped into
Gaza.Top Biden administration aides warned visiting war cabinet
minister Benny Gantz last week that Jerusalem could well end up
indefinitely occupying Gaza with no help from the international
community if it does not begin advancing a viable alternative to Hamas’s
rule.Despite the increasing visible rift, Biden and members of his
administration have continued to insist that Israel has the right to
defend itself against Hamas and have avoided publicly backing a
permanent ceasefire before the terror group is toppled and all the
hostages are freed.
Dutch nationalist Geert Wilders meets
Herzog, vows ‘full support’ in battling terror-Pro-Israel lawmaker has
struggled to form government after his party won November elections;
main parties to meet, seek path to coalition Monday-By Agencies and ToI
Staff Today, 2:25 pm-MAR 11,24
Dutch far-right leader Geert
Wilders said on Monday he had met with President Isaac Herzog and
pledged his full support to Israel in fighting terrorism.Wilders, who is
aiming to lead a new government after his nationalist PVV party won
elections in November, has long been a staunch supporter of
Israel.Wilders has unsuccessfully tried to form a government since the
elections. The main parties trying to form a governing coalition will
meet again on Monday in an effort to agree on what form a possible
cooperation could have.The Israeli president was in the Netherlands to
attend the opening of a Holocaust museum in Amsterdam on Sunday. At the
opening ceremony, Herzog called for prayers for peace and the immediate
release of hostages taken by Hamas during its devastating October 7
massacre in Israel.Wilders posted a picture on X of his meeting with
Herzog and wrote: “I told him I am proud that he visits the Netherlands
and that Israel has, and always will have, my full support in its fight
against terror.”Herzog’s presence in Amsterdam prompted protests led by a
local Jewish anti-Zionist group calling for his arrest on war crimes
charges due to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.I just had a great
meeting in Amsterdam with the President of Israel @Isaac_Herzog. I told
him I am proud that he visits the Netherlands and that Israel has, and
always will have, my full support in its fight against terror. #Israel

March 11, 2024-Hundreds gathered on Sunday waving Palestinian flags and
banners and shouting “Never Again Is Now,” a reference to their belief
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. They booed and shouted slogans as
the dignitaries arrived at the museum.Protesters had hung signs on
lampposts reading: “Detour to International Criminal Court” along the
route.Another pro-Palestinian Dutch organization, The Rights Forum,
called Herzog’s presence “a slap in the face of the Palestinians who can
only helplessly watch how Israel murders their loved ones and destroys
their land.”The war erupted when Hamas launched a devastating assault on
Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians. Terrorists also
abducted 253 people and took them as hostages to Gaza. Israel responded
to the attack with a military campaign to destroy the terror group,
topple its regime in Gaza, and free the hostages, over half of whom
remain in captivity.According to a statement from Herzog’s office last
week, his visit aimed to focus on efforts to release the hostages and on
the rise of antisemitism since the outbreak of the war.Herzog was among
Israeli leaders cited in an order issued in January by the
International Court of Justice for Israel to do all they can to prevent
death, destruction, and any acts of genocide in Gaza. He accused the
court of misrepresenting his comments in the ruling. Israel strongly
rejected allegations leveled by South Africa in the court case that the
military campaign in Gaza breached the Genocide Convention.
Construction
begins on large new settlement neighborhood west of Ariel-Plans for
1,600 homes in Amirim were approved by Housing Ministry in 1991; Peace
Now claims it constitutes a new settlement due to size and distance from
Ariel-By Jeremy Sharon-Today, 5:25 pm-MAR 11,24
Construction has
begun in a large new settlement neighborhood on the west side of Ariel
in the northern West Bank, approved by the Housing and Construction
Ministry and in line with a decision dating back some 33 years.The new
neighborhood, named Amirim, was approved by the Housing Ministry in
1991, before the Oslo Accords, and is situated some two kilometers west
of Ariel’s current built-up area, although it is nevertheless within the
city’s municipal boundaries.Former housing and construction minister
Ze’ev Elkin advanced the construction of Amirim during the tenure of the
Bennett-Lapid government by publishing tenders for construction in
October 2021 and advancing the bureaucratic procedure for the approval
of an access road to the nascent neighborhood in early 2022.The Housing
Ministry confirmed that construction has begun, stating, “In the last
few weeks, the ministry began carrying out initial infrastructure works
in the area through the Ariel Municipality.”The establishment of Amirim
was initiated by the approval of plans for the construction of some
1,600 housing units in the proposed neighborhood by the Housing and
Construction Ministry in 1991 during the premiership of Yitzhak Shamir,
on what was determined to be state land, meaning land that has no
registered private owner and is deemed not to be cultivated or used for
agricultural purposes.Implementation of the construction plans was
delayed, however, by elections in 1992, which were won by Yitzhak
Rabin’s Labor party, and the subsequent Oslo peace process beginning in
1993.Ariel is already one of the largest West Bank settlements, with
over 20,500 residents as of 2024 — one of only four formally designated
Israeli cities in the territory.The Peace Now group, which campaigns
against the settlement movement, argued that construction in Amirim
amounted to the establishment of an entirely new settlement due to its
size and distance from the rest of Ariel.The organization said it was
“further proof, for anyone still in doubt” that the current government
is “doing all it can to destroy the possibility of the two-state
solution.”“The construction of a new settlement is part of recent
initiatives amidst the ongoing war aimed at advancing thousands of
housing units in the territories, declaring thousands of dunams as state
land, and approving significant funding for settlements in the 2024
budget,” Peace Now charged.The organization added that the construction
of Amirim and its access road would cut off the nearby Palestinian
village of Salfit from other Palestinian population centers in the
region, including Kifl Hares and Hares.A record number of housing units
for settlements were advanced at different stages of the planning
process in 2023, which Peace Now said was a record since the Oslo
Accords were signed.At the same time, 15 illegal outposts were either
legalized or advanced along the process of legalization following a
decision by the security cabinet on February 2023.Just last week, plans
for a further 3,426 homes were advanced by the High Planning
Subcommittee of the Civil Administration, an agency in the Defense
Ministry largely controlled by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who is
also a minister in the Defense Ministry.Separately, police and Civil
Administration personnel on Monday demolished the illegal West Bank
outpost of Or Ahuvia close to the settlement of Ofra and evacuated the
settlers who had taken up residence in the early hours of the morning.A
rudimentary home was torn down and various equipment at the site was
confiscated, settlement activists said. The Civil Administration said
the outpost had been established on private Palestinian land.Or Ahuvia
was established in recent months by a group of young female settlement
activists in memory of Ahuvia Sandak, who died in a car crash while
fleeing from police in December 2020, allegedly after throwing rocks at
Palestinians.Activists said that they had planned for Or Ahuvia to be
part of a “Jewish territorial contiguity” area along with Or Meir and
two other illegal outposts.

group’s No. 3, targeted in airstrike-Marwan Issa was reportedly hiding
in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza; IDF pressing raid in Khan
Younis’s Hamad Town; US officials say Rafah op not on horizon-By Emanuel
Fabian-and Agencies Today, 3:11 pm-MAR 11,24
The Israeli
military and Hamas are trying to determine if Marwan Issa, the deputy
head of the terror group’s military wing, was killed in a recent
airstrike in the central Gaza Strip, Hebrew media reported
Monday.According to reports by several outlets, Issa was hiding in the
Nuseirat refugee camp. Overnight between Saturday and Sunday, the IDF
carried out an airstrike on a building where he was believed to be.
Reports
said five Palestinians were killed in the strike, although it is
unknown if Issa is among them.According to the reports, both the IDF and
Hamas were trying to ascertain if Issa was among the dead.Issa is
considered the number three in the terror organization in Gaza and
serves as the deputy of Mohammed Deif, the head of Hamas’s military
wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Together with Hamas’s leader in
Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, they are believed to have masterminded the group’s
October 7 massacre in southern Israel that triggered the war.Meanwhile,
the Israel Defense Forces said the Nahal Brigade killed some 15 gunmen
in the central Gaza Strip over the past day, with sniper fire,
close-quarters combat, and by calling in airstrikes.Also over the past
day, the Commando Brigade continued its raid on the Hamad Town
residential complex in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.The IDF said the
commandos raided apartments used by Hamas, captured operatives, and
seized weapons.Troops of the Givati Brigade came under anti-tank missile
fire amid operations in Hamad. The IDF said the soldiers spotted and
tracked the operative behind the attack, and he was killed by Maglan
commandos.Additionally, the IDF said troops of the 7th Armored Brigade
located Hamas tunnels in Hamad.It said one of the tunnel shafts led to
an underground route where food and weapons were found.Another tunnel
shaft contained weapons manufacturing equipment and concrete production
machinery used by Hamas to build tunnels, the IDF said.The IDF stated
the tunnels were destroyed in an airstrike.The IDF said the brigade
raided several more Hamas sites in the Hamad area, seizing sniper
rifles, explosive devices, military equipment, and intelligence
documents.Alongside the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 and
Shin Bet, dozens of terror operatives attempting to flee while
civilians evacuated from the Hamad area have been captured by troops,
and hundreds more suspects have been taken for questioning, the IDF
added.Elsewhere in Khan Younis, in the suburb of al-Qarara, the
Bislamach Brigade killed several Hamas operatives with sniper fire and
by calling in airstrikes and tank shelling, the IDF said.In northern
Gaza, the IDF said, the Navy directed an attack helicopter to strike a
vessel used by a Gaza-based terror group.Ramadan-As the Muslim world
welcomed Ramadan with the customary daytime fast, many Gazans awoke to
renewed airstrikes and fighting.“The start of Ramadan has been sad and
covered in darkness, with the taste and stench of blood everywhere,”
said one displaced Palestinian man, Awni al-Kayyal, 50.“The (Israeli)
occupation does not want us to have any joy during Ramadan. We do not
have any food for our iftar table,” he said, referring to the
fast-breaking evening meal.“You don’t see anyone with joy in their
eyes,” said Sabah al-Hendi, who was shopping for food on Sunday in the
southernmost city of Rafah. “Every family is sad. Every family has a
martyr.”In a message to mark the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Defense
Minister Yoav Gallant warned Israel’s enemies that the country was ready
for any threat.“The month of Ramadan is an important month in which the
Quran was revealed and in which there is an opportunity to improve
neighborly relations and strengthen family ties,” Gallant said in a
statement.“We are aware that the month of Ramadan may be a month of
jihad. We tell everyone who is thinking of trying us – we are ready,
don’t make mistakes,” he said.Gallant added a traditional greeting for
the holy month, and declared that Israel “respects freedom of worship at
Al-Aqsa and all the holy places.”UN and aid groups say only a fraction
of the supplies needed for Gaza’s 2.4 million people have been allowed
in since Israel placed it under near-total siege since the beginning of
the war. Israel says it does not restrict humanitarian or medical aid
and has blamed the lack of deliveries on the capacity of aid agencies,
repeatedly saying that it is approving more aid trucks for crossing than
the agencies are able to deliver. It also accuses Hamas of
commandeering some aid deliveries.A Cyprus government spokesman said a
Spanish charity ship with food aid was set to sail from the island to
the coastal Gaza Strip, where the UN has repeatedly warned of famine.The
Open Arms group said its boat would tow a barge with 200 tons of food,
which its partner the US charity World Central Kitchen would later
unload on Gaza’s shores.Multiple countries airdropped aid into northern
Gaza on Sunday, but the United Nations aid coordinator for the area has
said boosting supply by land would be far more effective.Some of the
food packages smashed open on impact, leaving residents picking through
the dirt to salvage what they could, AFPTV images showed.The United
States, Qatar, and Egypt had hoped to broker a ceasefire ahead of the
normally joyous month of dawn-to-dusk fasting that would include the
release of dozens of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and the
entry of a large amount of humanitarian aid, but the talks stalled last
week.Hamas is demanding guarantees that any such agreement will lead to
an end to the war, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to
continue the offensive until “total victory” against the terror group
and the release of all the remaining hostages.A source with knowledge of
the ceasefire talks told AFP “there will be a diplomatic push,
especially in the next 10 days” to secure a deal within the first half
of Ramadan.Two US officials told CNN that the Biden administration is
not expecting Israel to expand the Gaza ground operation to Rafah in the
near future.Israel has vowed to move into Rafah, Hamas’s last
stronghold. It believes that some of the hostages and Hamas leaders are
in Rafah. Earlier this month, special forces rescued two Israeli
hostages from captivity in an apartment in the city.However, in a
hard-hitting interview published by MSNBC Saturday, US President Joe
Biden highlighted deep US concerns over civilian deaths in Gaza and
called the planned IDF operation in southern Gaza’s Rafah a “red
line.”War erupted when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists burst into
Israel by air, land and sea, killing close to 1,200 people and
kidnapping another 253 to Gaza, where more than 100 are still held
hostage.Vowing to destroy Hamas, Israel responded with a wide-scale
ground and air campaign that the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said
has now killed more than 31,000 people. These figures cannot be
independently verified, and are believed to include both civilians and
Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a consequence of terror
groups’ own rocket misfires. The IDF says it has killed over 13,000
terror operatives in Gaza since the war started, in addition to some
1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.The war has driven around
80% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million people from their homes and
pushed hundreds of thousands to the brink of famine. Health officials
say at least 20 people, mostly children, have died from malnutrition and
dehydration in northern Gaza — figures that cannot be independently
verified.
Analysis'It can turn into total chaos, where everyone
is threatened' In Gaza, as elsewhere, aid missions are dangerous for
soldiers-Deadly Gaza City incident underscores the risks and challenges
IDF troops face when trying to secure delivery of food and medicine to
hungry Palestinians-By Lazar Berman-Today, 12:16 pm-MAR 11,24
In
2003, in the early stages of the Allied invasion of Iraq, American
journalist P.J. O’Rourke joined a Kuwait Red Crescent aid convoy on a
journey to the southeastern Iraqi city of Safwan.The convoy, he wrote in
The Atlantic, stopped in the countryside instead of entering the city
itself because the previous convoy to Safwan had been looted in what he
called “a riot.”Standing on top of one of the aid trucks, O’Rourke
described in great detail the chaos on the ground as the workers tried
to distribute the packages.“Below, a couple of hundred shoving,
shouldering, kneeing, kicking Iraqi men and boys were grabbing at boxes
of food,” he wrote.“Every person in the mob seemed to be arguing with
every other person. Giving in to impulses to push themselves forward and
push others away, shouting Iraqis were propelled in circles. A short,
plump, bald man sank in the roil. A small boy, red-faced and crying, was
crushed between two bellowing fat men. An old man was trampled trying
to join the fray.”The Iraqis, said O’Rourke, weren’t starving. Still,
every time the truck doors were opened, “everything went to
hell.”British troops stood nearby, trying to stay out of the way. But
when fights broke out in the crowd, they had to intervene to force the
combatants apart.Then things got worse. Gangs arrived from the city on
forklifts, old pickups, taxis, and bicycles, and took control of the
trucks.“In a few minutes one squad of looters had seventeen aid boxes,”
writes O’Rourke. “The box throwers were dancing and singing in the back
of the tractor-trailer.”The British forces quickly cleared the road, and
the aid trucks hurried back to Kuwait, with some of the looters still
inside.Many of the duties soldiers are tasked with in war come with
great peril. But handing out humanitarian aid to civilians is not
generally seen as one of the more dangerous missions — at least by those
who have never been asked to do so.A deadly incident less than two
weeks ago in Gaza underscored the risks for IDF troops trying to ensure
that aid gets to civilians.Early on Thursday, February 29, IDF troops
were securing a convoy of aid trucks as it entered the northern Gaza
Strip. A crowd rushed the vehicles, and at the end of the melee, dozens
of civilians were dead. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry — and Israeli
allies like France — placed the blame on IDF forces.The IDF
acknowledged that troops opened fire on several Gazans who moved toward
soldiers and a tank at an IDF position, endangering soldiers, but said
that the bulk of the casualties were trampled by the crowd and were
crushed by escaping trucks.As the distribution of humanitarian aid
becomes an issue of strategic importance for Israel in its determination
to maintain support for its campaign to destroy Hamas, IDF soldiers
will continue to find themselves involved in missions to secure the
delivery of aid.And they will find themselves in tense, volatile and
dangerous situations that their training did not prepare them for.The
military and humanitarian aid-Handing out aid comes with inherent
risks.“Distribution of aid may become contentious,” warns the Camp
Management Toolkit, a resource guide for those working with displaced
communities, “and who receives what may become a problem. Large
distributions lasting several days may make certain sectors of the
displaced populations fear that they are being excluded.”The US Army
recognizes this reality as well. It includes humanitarian assistance
operations in its field manual on civil disturbance operations. The
manual says that such missions “demand some sort of graduated-response
criteria to maintain order and prevent uncertain environments from
becoming hostile.”In some ways, military forces are uniquely suited to
provide aid on the battlefield. No other organization can move
comparable numbers of personnel and equipment quickly across long
distances, even in extremely challenging terrain conditions. And
militaries can secure the transportation and delivery of aid.But aid
organizations warn that soldiers should only be used as a last
resort.“Soldiers are trained to fight wars and aid workers are trained
to deliver aid,” warned the British charity Christian Aid in a press
release.“Distributing humanitarian supplies is not as simple as it
sounds and, if done incorrectly, can lead to danger both for recipients
and for those handing out the food packs,” it continued.“We have seen
soldiers on television in a state of panic trying to hand out relief
supplies under great pressure from crowds of people desperate to get
much-needed help.”Some groups, like the International Committee of the
Red Cross, reject direct military involvement in humanitarian aid — even
armed protection for aid workers — which it sees as compromising the
“impartiality, neutrality and independence” of its work.Yet humanitarian
aid has become an integral part of military campaigns in recent
decades. The US-led efforts to create stable, pro-Western governments in
Iraq and Afghanistan included humanitarian aid at the center of the
counterinsurgency doctrine. The Pentagon even created the Office of
Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance to coordinate military and
aid efforts, and included aid funding within the Iraq War budget.The
lack of clear distinctions between the military and humanitarian efforts
alarmed some practitioners. “The boundaries between the occupying force
and the UN and the humanitarian community in Iraq is the most blurred
it’s ever been, anywhere we’ve worked,” said Oxfam spokesman Brendan
Cox.In Gaza too, the humanitarian mission is not independent of Israel’s
war effort. International support for the continuation of the campaign
against Hamas hinges on Israel’s ability to ensure that food and
medicine enter the Strip and reach civilians in need.Nightmare-For a
soldier, humanitarian aid missions are a “nightmare,” said John Spencer,
chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute in the
prestigious US military academy West Point.“In a split second,” he told
The Times of Israel, “chaos can ensue and you don’t have the normal
tools to try to control both the threat to your life, but also the chaos
around you.”He said that the deadly melee around the aid convoy in
northern Gaza “brought back a lot of scar tissue,” the memories of his
own fraught aid missions in Iraq.“You have thousands and thousands of
people who won’t listen to orders, which are an attempt to help keep
control — form a line, don’t approach the security personnel,” said
Spencer.“In the snap of a finger, it can turn into complete chaos, where
everybody is threatened,” he repeated.There are ways to reduce the
chances of the situation spinning out of control — including by
delivering at night when fewer people are around, and controlling the
delivery points.But groups like Hamas know that they can use a crowd of
desperate civilians to create disorder from which they can target
troops, prevent them from asserting control over the distribution of
aid, and keep themselves from being sidelined.During the 2014 Operation
Protective Edge, Israel set up a hospital for Palestinian civilians at
the Erez Crossing, complete with an emergency medicine department, an
inpatient department, and facilities to provide advanced treatments like
orthopedics, ophthalmology, and OB-GYN care.Hamas issued threats
against anyone who would be treated at the hospital, and in the end,
only a few dozen arrived.In the ongoing war in Gaza, the terrorist
organization has conducted “humanitarian ambushes,” firing at IDF troops
from crowds receiving aid, IDF commanders told The Times of
Israel.Soldiers always have the right of self-defense,” Spencer
explained, adding that he “can’t imagine” the challenge of securing aid
convoys into the northern Gaza Strip.“It was the fourth night in a row,”
he said of the deadly swarm in February in Gaza Strip, “which creates a
pattern which somebody could then use to take to their
advantage.”Former CIA director David Petraeus, who also led the 2008
surge of US troops in Iraq that changed the tide of the war, was more
optimistic about the potential to find ways to distribute aid
effectively.“We had to figure out how you do these operations,” he told
The Times of Israel. “But it can be done. And I think the challenge is
that, unfortunately, right now, it’s you and your soldiers who will have
to figure out how to do this.”In the meantime, Israel’s official line
is that the aid organizations within the Gaza Strip are responsible for
arranging security once Israel hands over aid shipments.‘The
international organizations that are delivering the aid also take
responsibility for securing their convoys,” a spokesman from the IDF
Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories told The Times
of Israel. “We’re happy to try and help work with them to find
solutions. But it’s important to remember that the distribution is their
responsibility.”Even if Israel officially puts the burden on the UN and
other organizations, the aid issue is too important to be left to
unreliable actors. Another deadly incident could further undermine
American patience, and if the aid distribution doesn’t improve, the
pressure to end the campaign could endanger Israel’s ability to win the
war.Given what’s at stake, the IDF will continue to be involved in
missions to secure aid distribution. On Friday, US President Joe Biden
said that Israeli troops will provide security for the temporary port he
announced will be built off the coast of Gaza City. It remains unclear
who will get the aid from the pier to Gazans, but Israel will presumably
have to oversee some of the journey, including keeping hungry crowds
away from the operation.That mission, and other similar attempts to
ensure that aid reaches Gazans and is not looted or taken by Hamas, will
continue to be fraught, with the potential for bloodshed and chaos.“I
don’t wish that mission on any soldier, period,” said Spencer.
Police
scuffle with worshipers outside Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on 1st night of
Ramadan-Officers seen assailing some with batons at entrance to Temple
Mount, accused of blocking entry to some Israeli citizens in
contravention of PM’s promise-By Gianluca Pacchiani-and ToI Staff Today,
6:57 am-MAR 11,24
While thousands of Muslim worshipers entered
the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem to pray on the
first night of the holy month of Ramadan Sunday, police officers
scuffled with some attendees at the entrance to the flashpoint Temple
Mount site, a video circulating on social media showed.Police were also
accused of denying some Arab Israelis entry to the site, in violation of
a promise made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to enable free
access to Muslim citizens.The footage showed Israeli Border Police
officers assailing some visitors with batons at the entrance to the
compound. In response to the video, Israel Police said it was working to
“enable freedom of worship on the Temple Mount while at the same time
ensuring safety and security, in accordance with instructions given by
the political leadership.”Police said “increased inspection was carried
out in the area” to detect threats and “prevent potential criminals,
instigators and violators of public order, for the sake of public peace
and security, and the proper observance of Ramadan prayers.”Netanyahu
pledged last week that the number of worshipers allowed to pray on the
Temple Mount in the first week of Ramadan would be the same as in
previous years and that no restrictions would be imposed on Arab
Israelis, overruling the reported wishes of ultranationalist firebrand
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who oversees the Israel
Police.Most of the Arab population of Jerusalem, however, does not hold
Israeli citizenship, and can therefore be subject to stricter
limitations.The Abraham Initiatives, a coexistence organization, said
that some citizens were in fact blocked and accused police of ignoring
Netanyahu’s directives.“Netanyahu has to impose order and calm
surrounding Al-Aqsa,” the group said. “The numerous reports of blocking
entrance to Israeli citizens on the first night of Ramadan stand in
complete contrast to the decision made by the prime minister.“The
footage of police beating worshipers with batons is embarrassing and
difficult to countenance,” the statement said, calling on Netanyahu to
act urgently and allow freedom of worship.Police Commissioner Kobi
Shabtai was reportedly looking to limit attendance “in the initial
stage” of Ramadan, assessing that younger Arabs, whether Israeli or from
East Jerusalem, are the main “agitators.”Photos and videos filmed
Sunday night and shared on X showed groups of young Muslim men who were
refused access to the Al-Aqsa compound praying in the alleys leading to
it, and outside the walls of the Old City.The Haaretz daily reported
that hundreds of young Palestinians were prevented from accessing the
site but that some managed to enter the compound with their parents or
when police eased entrance procedures due to pressure at barriers at the
entrances.According to the report, thousands of Muslim worshipers
prayed at the site Sunday, with their numbers expected to swell over the
coming days to reach tens of thousands on Friday.Ramadan began Sunday
night as the war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza, and a deadlock
in negotiations on a temporary truce and hostage release deal, cast a
somber mood on normally festive preparations by Muslims and ratcheted up
fears of violence.Thousands of police have been deployed around the
narrow streets of the Old City in Jerusalem, where tens of thousands of
worshipers are expected every day at the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque
compound, the third holiest site in Islam. The compound sits atop the
Temple Mount, the holiest place in Judaism, where the two biblical
temples stood.The sacred Ramadan month, which sees those observing
abstain from food and water from sunrise to sunset, marks a period of
religious reflection, family get-togethers and alms-giving across the
Muslim world. Religious authorities in Saudi Arabia saw the crescent
moon Sunday night, meaning Monday is the first day of the fast in
Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, as well as much of the rest of the
Muslim world, though others, like Jordan, will begin the holy month
Tuesday.Israeli security officials fear that Muslim anger over the Gaza
war could rise to a crescendo during Ramadan, fueling unrest. Hamas
branded its October 7 massacre in Israel, in which 1,200 people were
killed and 253 taken hostage, as the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” and has attempted
to link its slaughter in southern Israel to the disputed Jerusalem holy
site.Police said earlier Sunday that terror groups were attempting to
stir up unrest in the capital around Ramadan by spreading “false
information regarding the reality in Jerusalem, the Old City and in
particular the Temple Mount.”A statement said that 20 East Jerusalem
residents had been arrested on suspicion of incitement and support for
terrorism over the past two weeks.
Italy mulls Israel’s
extradition request for arrested Palestinian terror suspect-Man is one
of three nabbed and suspected of setting up cell linked to Al-Aqsa
Martyrs Brigades, terror group tied to Abbas’s Fatah party-By Reuters
and ToI Staff Today, 3:22 pm-MAR 11,24
ROME — Italian police have
arrested three Palestinians based in central Italy who they said were
planning attacks in an unspecified country, a police statement said on
Monday, with Israel requesting the extradition of one of them.The three
men, living in l’Aquila, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) northeast of
Rome, had set up a cell linked to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the
statement said.The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is an armed offshoot of
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s secular nationalist
Fatah party. It is considered a terrorist group by Israel, the European
Union, and the United States.Police said the three Palestinians had been
charged with criminal conspiracy for terrorism purposes or subversion
of the democratic order, which carries jail terms of up to 15 years.“The
suspects engaged in proselytism and propaganda… and planned attacks,
including suicide attacks, against civilian and military targets on
foreign territory,” police said.One of the three men is wanted by
Israel, which is at war with the Palestinian terror group Hamas in the
Gaza Strip, and an Italian court is examining an extradition request for
him, the statement added.In a separate statement, Interior Minister
Matteo Piantedosi hailed the arrest of “three dangerous terrorists” and
said Italy was always on high alert against extremism and
radicalization.There was no immediate comment by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs
Brigades.
Progressive groups unite to counter pro-Israel
Democratic primary candidates-Jewish, Arab and Muslim organizations form
Reject AIPAC to counter pro-Israel groups’ strategy of funding
incumbent anti-Zionists’ challengers-By AP and ToI Staff Today, 4:22
pm-MAR 11,24
Facing a barrage of super PAC money, more than 20
progressive groups are coming together to forcefully counter pro-Israel
groups’ efforts to mount a primary challenge to liberal members who have
been critics of Israel’s blistering military offensive in Gaza.The
coalition, called Reject AIPAC, includes Jewish anti-Zionist
organizations and Arab American and Muslim groups that have been
organizing in record numbers since the Israel-Hamas war began in
October.Their efforts are a direct response to pro-Israel political
action committees like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee,
better known as AIPAC, that are pledging or planning to spend tens of
millions of dollars to try to defeat Democratic members of the so-called
“squad” in primaries and the general election this year. Th AIPAC
campaign has turned the otherwise safely Democratic districts into
election battlegrounds.“These are a handful of Black and brown
progressive incumbents who are under attack from a threat of $100
million in spending and usually Democratic leadership and establishment
is up in arms anytime someone primaries an incumbent,” said Usamah
Andrabi, communications director for Justice Democrats, one the groups
leading the coalition. “But the energy is a little lighter when it comes
to some of these progressives and so we are coming together to ensure
that they have the resources to defend themselves against AIPAC.”The
strategy, according to Andrabi, is to link up the grassroots
organizations behind a seven-figure “electoral defense campaign” that
aims to not only protect members of Congress being targeted by AIPAC but
also to bring light to what they see as the group’s divergence from the
longstanding values of the Democratic Party.AIPAC has defended its
track record, telling The Associated Press last month that “it is
entirely consistent with progressive values to stand with the Jewish
state” and that the group has a history of supporting members of the
Congressional Progressive Caucus.Nonetheless, the coalition’s lobbying
effort will focus on promoting pro-Palestinian members and candidates as
well as highlighting national polling that shows that the majority of
Democratic voters are aligned with their stances, including increasing
calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and conditioning US aid to Israel as the
number of casualties rises above 30,000 Palestinians in the five months
of war, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in the Strip.Those
figures cannot be independently verified, and are believed to include
both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a
consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires. The IDF says it has
killed over 13,000 terror operatives in Gaza since the war started, in
addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.Israel’s
air and ground offensive has also driven most Palestinians from their
homes and pushed one-quarter of the population toward starvation.The war
erupted when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists burst into Israel by
air, land and sea, killing close to 1,200 people and kidnapping another
253 to Gaza, where more than 100 are still held hostage.In Congress, the
war has driven a familiar wedge between Democrats, with even some
lawmakers aligned with AIPAC declining to discuss the dynamics on the
record.Part of the strategy of the new coalition is to force those
fissures into the open by requiring any candidate or member aligned with
them to sign a pledge, outright rejecting any campaign money from
groups like AIPAC, which has historically yielded immense clout in
Washington.This comes as AIPAC shifted in its own strategy in the last
several years, transitioning from strictly a lobbying organization to
helping elect centrist, pro-Israel Democrats. In 2022, it began
challenging Democratic incumbents in primaries.Before November, the
group and PACs connected to its ethos have once again begun contributing
to candidates running against members of the squad. The Democrats
facing challengers include Jamaal Bowman of New York, Ilhan Omar of
Minnesota, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, and Cori Bush of Missouri, all of
whom have not only called for a ceasefire but have demanded an end to
US aid to Israel.In 2022, AIPAC spent around $27 million targeting
progressive candidates. Its war chest this cycle is expected to be more
than twice that amount.“We will never be at parity and that’s the
reality of this,” Andrabi said. “This has always been a David vs.
Goliath conflict and it will continue to be but the most we can do is
organize now in a concerted way and take them on head-on in a way that
folks haven’t in past cycles.”
