Genocide in Gaza and Palestine

Statistics on the catastrophic crimes in Gaza reveal that thousands of children have lost their lives in the last 3 years post October 7, 2024, the limbs of thousands of children have been amputated, thousands of children have been orphaned. The numbers of dead, adults and children, since October 7 is mind-numbing to contemplate. The pictures of devastation, when we view them, are chilling. Can we even begin to take this in?

False Flags of October 7 and Hamas: An Intelligence Creation and Contrivance

Was what happened–or is purported to have happened, by “legacy media” which is daily filled with disinformation, misinformation, Psy Ops, and Military Strategic Operations–on October 7 a false flag, a contrivance, a lie, an exaggeration, a set-up for a cause, a cover story to permit carnage, a Lusitania or Pearl Harbor, or a combination of these?

Delving a little bit into what was behind October 7, it appears Hamas in itself was a set-up organization, founded in 1987 by Israeli Intelligence. Apparently with the help of the CIA and MI6, whose heads were prominent–again in legacy media, a planned appearance–one month before the reported attacks, claiming to be encouraging ceasefires. The CIA and MI6, along with the Mossad and Knesset seem to have masterminded the reported Hamas attack which seems to be a sleeper Western-Intelligence operation, useful for continued claims of terrorism from civilans, like Isis. When absolute terrorism has been wreaked on the people of Gaza and Palestine by Israel and the IDF.

There’s a lot of fluff in the air lately from the British and Israeli apologists for carnage–and now US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr as well–about anti-Semitism, that tired old trope, and “blood libel” –a clever, catchy term, but meaningless–to be accusing Israel and Netanyahu of genocide and the targeted assassination of children.

But how is it not genocide and how is it not the deliberate targeting of children and their mothers and fathers in Gaza and Palestine?

The Spilling of Blood or the Reported Spilling of Blood on October 7?

To what extent was the October 7 story a fabrication, one wonders. For crisis actors, full-on theater, and fabulous lies are practiced daily by the criminals in power–in the US, the UK, why not Israel?

We must ask: Were 1100 or 1200 Israelis actually killed by Hamas on October 7?

Apparently you cannot ask this question in Israel, for the Knesset will throw you in jail for 5 years. That in itself is a giveaway of state crime. Stifling critical inquiry, neither intelligent nor progressive, not the hallmark of a democratic or thoughtful society, is more a sign of a dictatorship or repressive Communism, and the sign of a government with much to hide.

When both sides of a “war” are run by the same set of people, how is that a “war” but just one-sided massacre?

Israel reportedly removed its border defenses, claimed it had no prior intelligence and was taken by surprise, and, despite billions in aid and military supplies from the US made a poor showing, arriving too late to stop the carnage, supposedly, while “friendly fire” wiped out several Israelis, including babies and children. These are lies, report some commentators.

Mostly Muslims were killed on October 7, report some commentators.

These are all subjects to delve into and examine further. Who and what Hamas is and where it came from is a big part of this puzzle.

Most especially, when no one can understand the extent of crime on a targeted people parading as “war” and “self-defense”, one is forced to confront the fact of extreme evil operative here. And those–in the UK and US governments especially–who promote this evil and champion it show themselves to be just as much a part of it as the perpetrators.

About the film, Naza, surprisingly produced by The Guardian

“93,701 views Sep 29, 2026 Stateside with Kai and Carter When NAZA premiered at Venice earlier this month, it sent shockwaves across the globe. Composed of interviews with 24 anonymous Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers, NAZA is a haunting exposé of the tools that the Israeli military uses to carry out the remote killing of Palestinians in Gaza – including AI, mass surveillance, and devastating airstrikes that kill civilians and raze homes.

Now, the Israeli government is treating NAZA like a national security crisis. Benjamin Netanyahu is even pushing for legislation that could strip the film’s two directors of their Israeli citizenship. Host Carter Sherman speaks with the directors of NAZA, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, in one of their first interviews with an American journalist. The film, which was produced by the Guardian, will open in New York on September 30th and will play in theaters across the US starting October 9th. It will also stream, for free, on the Guardian website in November.

US Sells Precision Kill Weapon Systems to Israel/May 1, 2026

Congress quietly moves to integrate US and Israeli militaries, May 29, 2026

Excerpt: “Section 224 would be a different beast entirely. It would fuse the U.S. and Israeli defense sectors in multiple areas vital to the battlefields of the future, like autonomous systems and cyber. It would also bring extraordinary Israeli influence to the U.S. beyond what it already has through the Israel lobby and its robust network of social media influencers. It would give the Israeli government the opportunity to greatly expand one of the most powerful levers of influence in U.S. politics: jobs in the U.S. By expanding or starting new co-production facilities like it already has in Mississippi and Arkansas, the Israeli government could boast of providing jobs on U.S. soil, thereby securing allies among members of Congress who represent the districts where those jobs lie.

The result could well be a U.S. political system even more susceptible to the whims of an Israeli government that seemingly has no qualms about drawing the U.S. into military conflicts in the Middle East.”

Attacks on civilians–and the murder of over 60,000 in Gaza post October 7–are being whitewashed by military strategists as legitimate “Irregular Warfare”–as this piece titled Evolution of Irregular Warfare by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (headed by General Dunford and Thomas J Pritzker (Hyatt heir/billionaire) suggests.
