There are information tales that may be present in sudden locations that deserve a lot higher consideration and needs to be regularly cited.

One such article was within the New York Instances on December 10, 2023 beneath the title ‘Shopping for Quiet’: Contained in the Israeli Plan That Propped Up Hamas. 

A second instance was revealed by Hadassah, The Girls’s Zionist Group of America, whose president describes Zionism as “the nationwide liberation motion of the Jewish individuals.” The July/August 2024 concern of Hadassah Journal accommodates an article with the title “Ignored Till it was Too Late.” It covers how “repeated warnings [from female observer soldiers] a few potential Hamas infiltration” [prior to October 7] had been “ignored?”

Readers of the New York Instances article are knowledgeable that “For years, the Qatari authorities had been sending hundreds of thousands of {dollars} a month into the Gaza Strip—cash that helped prop up the Hamas authorities there.” Moreover, and of significance, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel not solely tolerated these funds, he had inspired them.” (emphasis added) These funds got here to “billions of {dollars} over roughly a decade.” Moreover, the funds, “ostensibly a secret” had been “extensively recognized and mentioned within the information media for years.”

With out this assist, might Hamas have carried out the actions it undertook on October 7, 2023? Based on the article, Netanyahu referred to as any suggestion that he sought to empower Hamas “ridiculous.”

A lot of what’s coated within the story signifies in any other case.(1)

The article describes a visit to Qatar, simply weeks earlier than October 7, undertaken by the Mossad (the Israeli intelligence company) chief, David Barnea, during which he was requested if Israel needed the funds to Hamas to proceed. Barnea is paraphrased answering “sure. The Israeli authorities nonetheless welcomed the cash from Doha, [Qatar’s capital].”

The subheading of the New York Instances article is “Prime Miniter Netanyahu gambled {that a} robust Hamas (however not too robust) would maintain the peace and scale back strain for a Palestinian state.” Nonetheless, based on the report, “Even because the Israeli navy obtained battle plans for a Hamas invasion and analysts noticed important terrorism workout routines simply over the border in Gaza, the funds continued.” (emphasis added)

The Qatar funds supposedly had “humanitarian objectives…However Israeli intelligence officers now imagine that the cash had a job within the success of the Oct. 7 assaults” since they allowed for funds to be diverted “in the direction of navy operations.” And the Netanyahu authorities didn’t know this to be the case? Is sizzling sauce sizzling?

A motivation for permitting this assist of Hamas is supplied:

“Way back to December 2012, Mr. Netanyahu informed the outstanding Israeli journalist Dan Margalit that it was essential to maintain Hamas robust, as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority within the West Financial institution. Mr. Margalit, in an interview, mentioned that Mr. Netanyahu informed him that having two robust rivals, together with Hamas, would reduce strain on him to barter towards a Palestinian state.”

The reporters proceed, “The official within the prime minister’s workplace mentioned Mr. Netanyahu by no means made this assertion. However the prime minister would articulate this concept to others over time.”

Actually, based on the article, in 2017, “Netanyahu even lobbied Washington on Qatar’s behalf…as Republicans pushed to impose monetary sanctions on Qatar over its assist for Hamas.”

This lobbying effort occurred regardless of Netanyahu’s protection minister in 2016, Avigdor Lieberman, writing a “secret memo” to Netanyahu stating that, within the phrases of the New York Instances reporters, “Hamas was slowly constructing its navy talents to assault Israel.”

The Israeli authorities’s assist for Hamas clearly represents a typical imperialist divide and conqueror technique. On this case, assist one’s enemy, even one you view as calling to your elimination, to cut back the ability of one other enemy.

The Israeli authorities’s assist of Hamas has been reported elsewhere. The Instances of Israel,  nicely earlier than the New York Instances article, on October 8, 2023, simply after the Hamas assault, had a narrative with the headline  “For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces.”  Netanyahu’s “coverage” handled “the phobia group as a companion.” Why? From the article: “The thought was to forestall [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud] Abbas…from advancing towards the institution of a Palestinian state.” In consequence, “Hamas turned stronger.”

Israeli Authorities Advance Information of The October 7 Assault

One of many key questions surrounding the Hamas assault on October 7 is whether or not the Israeli authorities knew about it upfront, and didn’t act to forestall it. The New York Instances article asserts that Israeli leaders and “intelligence officers” assessed that Hamas “was neither concerned with nor able to a large-scale-attack” that this paper of file attributes to “intelligence failures and different defective assumptions.” Nonetheless, once more, in the identical New York Instances report, the Israeli navy had “obtained battle plans for a Hamas invasion and analysts noticed important terrorism workout routines simply over the border in Gaza.”

Particulars about that advance data are supplied within the Hadassah Journal article. It profiles younger girls who had been a part of the Israel Protection Forces Fight Intelligence Corps working as observers who had been “monitoring Israel’s border with Gaza” at a base positioned lower than a mile from the border with Gaza.

They had been skilled in firearms utilization. Nonetheless, they had been unarmed as a result of previously, some observers had dedicated suicide.

On October 7, many on the bottom had been killed, together with 15 unarmed feminine discipline observers. Seven had been taken as captives.

Earlier than October 7, the observers

“had knowledgeable their superiors repeatedly that Hamas gave the impression to be planning an assault that might probably contain breaking by means of the border fence…As early as Might 2023…they witnessed a part of a large-scale, all-day Hamas drill that probably served as preparation for the October 7 assault.”

One of many observers noticed, as paraphrased by the reporter, “many Palestinians…method the border fence with maps, analyzing the realm and digging holes” solely to be “informed by her superiors they had been farmers and to not fear.”

Within the months earlier than the assault, one other observer described how the coaching went from as soon as per week to nearly nonstop and that it, as paraphrased, “included driving tanks and even crossing the border into Israel.”

When an Israeli Protection Forces (IDF) spokesperson was requested in regards to the “observers’ warnings” not being “heeded,” this particular person replied, “Questions of this type can be regarded into at a later stage.”

Causes supplied within the article as to why the observers’ warnings had been ignored embody gender bias (sexism) within the Israel navy and their low rank.(2) Within the phrases of 1 observer:

“We had been 18- and 19-year-old ladies.  Despite the fact that we knew the entire space completely and will inform you about it in our sleep, we weren’t thought-about excessive sufficient ranked, so they didn’t pay attention. They favored to belittle us. It didn’t shock me.”

May there be different causes not mentioned within the article? May there have been a need for a Hamas assault for use as an excuse for finishing up the next destruction and mass murders to allow Israel to totally take over what stays of Palestinian territory within the Gaza Strip and West Financial institution? Is the struggle an try to finish the desires of a higher Israel (that features Southern Lebanon) held by a few of the founders of Israel?(3)

Notes.

1.) A November 21, 2023 Politico article quotes former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert saying “Within the final 15 years, Israel did the whole lot to downgrade the Palestinian Authority and to spice up Hamas. Gaza was on the point of collapse as a result of they’d no assets, they’d no cash, and the PA refused to present Hamas any cash. Bibi [Netanyahu] saved them. Bibi made a cope with Qatar and so they began to maneuver hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of {dollars} to Gaza.”

One other Politico article factors out: “Most incriminatingly, Netanyahu himself mentioned in 2019 at a Likud get together convention: “Anybody who needs to forestall the institution of a Palestinian state must assist strengthening Hamas.””

2.) From the Haddasah article: Girls within the IDF “represent 45 % of junior officer positions” that shrinks to about “20 % on the lieutenant degree” and declines additional amongst senior officers.In different phrases, on the whole, girls will not be handled as equals inside the IDF. Nonetheless, after October 7, “there was a major enhance in girls enlisting in fight items.” On the identical time, the observers “nonetheless haven’t any weapons and the hierarchy within the military has not modified.”

3.) Ben-Gurion is described in Wikipedia as “the first nationwide founderof the State of Israelas nicely as its first prime minister.” In “The Delivery of Israel,” Pantheon Books, 1987, writer Simha Flapan, who was a dedicated socialist Zionist (pg. 10), wrote on pg. 31 “Ben-Gurion had all the time considered partition as step one towards a Jewish state in the entire of Palestine, together with Transjordan, the Golan Heights, and southern Lebanon.”

They mentioned followers had left the stadium with out incident after the Europa League match, which Ajax gained 5-0, however that clashes erupted in a single day within the metropolis centre.

Antisemitic incidents within the Netherlands have surged since Israel launched its assault on Gaza following the Oct. 7, 2023, assaults on Israel by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, with many Jewish organizations and colleges reporting threats and hate mail.

The Gaza conflict has sparked protests in help of either side throughout Europe and america, together with in Amsterdam, the place the opening of a brand new Holocaust museum by Herzog led to violent protests by pro-Palestinian activists.

Greater than 43,000 Palestinians have been killed and 102,000 others injured in Israel’s navy offensive on Gaza in response to the Hamas-led assault, based on well being officers within the enclave, after the Palestinian militant group killed some 1,200 Israelis and took greater than 250 hostage, based on Israel.

Hamas spokesperson Abu Zuhri, in a press release, mentioned “the Amsterdam incidents affirm that the continued genocide in Gaza, broadcast dwell with out worldwide motion to halt it and maintain these accountable accountable, can result in such spontaneous reactions.”

A senior Hamas official has known as for an instantaneous finish to Israel’s conflict towards the group within the Gaza Strip and a plan to realize Palestinian statehood in remarks shared with Newsweek within the wake of former President Donald Trump’s election victory.

“The election of Trump because the forty seventh president of the USA is a personal matter for the People,” Hamas Political Bureau member and spokesperson Basem Naim instructed Newsweek, “however Palestinians stay up for an instantaneous cessation of the aggression towards our folks, particularly in Gaza, and search for help in reaching their respectable rights of freedom, independence, and the institution of their unbiased self-sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital.”

“The blind assist for the Zionist entity ‘Israel’ and its fascist authorities, on the expense of the way forward for our folks and the safety and stability of the area, should cease instantly,” he added.

When beforehand in workplace, Trump cast a detailed relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who’s immediately engaged in a multifront conflict towards the Iran-aligned Axis of Resistance that started with a large-scale Hamas-led assault towards Israel in October 2023. Nonetheless, Trump has additionally expressed criticism of Netanyahu’s wartime management and has known as for a well timed finish to the battle.

Reached for remark, an Israeli official instructed Newsweek that “sustaining and constructing upon the particular relationship between the U.S. and Israel has been a bipartisan function of American politics for the reason that founding of the Jewish state.”

“Now we have little question that this may proceed to be the case,” the Israeli official stated. “Going ahead, we stay up for a robust working relationship together with his administration to convey a few extra peaceable, safe and affluent Center East.”

With continued indicators of disagreement between President Joe Biden and Netanyahu over the course of the conflict regardless of sizable U.S. navy help, the Israeli premier was the primary to congratulate Trump on what was described as “historical past’s best comeback.”

“Your historic return to the White Home provides a brand new starting for America and a strong recommitment to the nice alliance between Israel and America,” Netanyahu stated in his assertion Wednesday.

Netanyahu later spoke with Trump. The dialog was described by the Israeli facet as a “heat and cordial” alternate wherein the 2 “agreed to work collectively for Israel’s safety, and likewise mentioned the Iranian menace.”

The Israel-Hamas conflict, which has since expanded to incorporate an Israeli air and land offensive towards the Hezbollah motion in Lebanon, strikes from different Axis of Resistance factions in Iraq, Syria and Yemen and even direct exchanges of strikes between Israel and Iran, has confirmed a polarizing overseas coverage problem within the U.S.

Whereas Biden has each continued to offer navy help to Israel and name for larger safeguards to mitigate civilian hurt, he has been accused by Israel supporters of not doing sufficient to assist the U.S. ally and by pro-Palestinian factions of failing to sufficiently rein in Netanyahu.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ marketing campaign largely echoed the Biden administration’s place, calling for peace and expressing sympathy to the plight of civilians caught within the battle whereas on the similar rejecting any calls to withhold arms gross sales to Israel.

In a press release issued Wednesday, Hamas additionally known as for an finish to Israel’s marketing campaign in Lebanon and for the U.S. to “cease offering navy assist and political cowl to the Zionist entity, and to acknowledge the respectable rights of our folks.”

Palestinian Nationwide Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who leads the West Financial institution-based authorities that rivals the Gaza-based Hamas, additionally congratulated Trump on his election victory Wednesday.

Abbas expressed “his aspiration to work with President Trump for peace and safety within the area” and careworn “the dedication of our folks to hunt freedom, self-determination and statehood, in accordance with worldwide regulation,” in keeping with a press release revealed by the Palestine Information and Info Company (WAFA).

“We are going to stay steadfast in our dedication to peace,” Abbas was quoted as saying, “and we’re assured that underneath your management america will assist the respectable aspirations of the Palestinian folks.”

Each Hamas and Abbas had continuously condemned Trump’s Center East measures whereas he was in workplace, together with his 2018 choice to maneuver the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to the disputed metropolis of Jerusalem and his 2020 plan to finish the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian battle.

The proposal, extensively branded as a “deal of the century,” would have granted Israel management over internationally unrecognized Jewish settlements within the West Financial institution and occupied areas alongside the Jordanian border. Hamas and different Palestinian factions can be disarmed, Palestinians would acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state, chorus from participation in any worldwide organizations with out Israeli consent and obtain some desert territory alongside the Israel-Egypt border, in addition to entry to worldwide investments.

In certainly one of its most bold steps, the proposal additionally outlined for the institution of a tunnel connecting the West Financial institution and Gaza.

Whereas the plan failed to realize momentum within the Arab world, Trump efficiently oversaw the Abraham Accords later that 12 months that led to the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco establishing diplomatic relations with Israel.

The Republican chief has since accused Biden and Harris of being too delicate on Iran and he has repeatedly asserted that the conflict in Hamas wouldn’t have occurred underneath his presidency. On the similar time, Trump has accused his Democratic rivals of in search of to spark a larger conflict within the Center East, one thing he has vowed to keep away from.

“We wish a robust and highly effective navy and ideally, we do not have to make use of it,” Trump stated throughout his election night time victory speech. “You understand, we had no wars 4 years. We had no wars. Besides we defeated ISIS, we defeated ISIS in document time.”

“They stated, ‘He’ll begin a conflict.’ I am not going to begin a conflict,” Trump stated early Wednesday. “I’ll cease wars.”

The prime minister who vowed earlier than the final election to herald a “kinder, gentler parliament” has now hailed Australia’s rowdy, sturdy and combative model of political debate as proof of a functioning democracy, warning “solely dictatorships fake to be good”.

In remarks to a worldwide democracy convention in Sydney a day after the US returned Donald Trump to the presidency eschewing warnings about his autocratic model, Anthony Albanese urged the adversarial tendencies of the Westminster political system had been “a advantage, not a flaw”.

“A fierce contest could be a good factor, so long as it’s a contest about substance, about issues that matter to individuals and points that have an effect on the nation,” Albanese instructed the Commonwealth Parliamentary Affiliation, in a speech distributed prematurely.

“Generally this implies issues may be loud or unpredictable, generally the arguments are extra sledgehammer than scalpel. When the stakes are excessive, passions run excessive. However these aren’t warning indicators, they’re important indicators. Proof of life and trigger for hope. As a result of solely dictatorships fake to be good.”

As not too long ago as July this yr, Albanese repeated his need for much less aggression in politics, after vandals lit fires outdoors the workplace of Victorian Labor MP Josh Burns in what Burns known as “a politically motivated assault”.

“We simply should be a little bit bit kinder and gentler in the best way that we conduct our politics,” Albanese instructed the Fox FM radio community in Melbourne on 24 July. “We don’t need to go down the American highway, which has seen actual polarisation and simply individuals being offended on a regular basis. Individuals can have disagreements, however can we do it respectfully.”

In his speech on Thursday night time, Albanese known as parliament a “proving floor for concepts and insurance policies”, providing “the sternest attainable check” of their energy and rigour.

He described democracy as “in each sense, a piece in progress”.

The prime minister didn’t refer on to the US presidential election outcome. He spoke of “the corrosive forces of cynicism and division”, saying the strongest antidote to these and biggest argument for democracy was in governments demonstrating their capability to “make a constructive distinction”.

“Delivering for individuals, proving worthy of their belief, residing as much as our shared values, and taking up the massive challenges – even when the causes are advanced and the options unknown,” Albanese mentioned.

Addressing what’s successfully a democracy membership constructed across the British Commonwealth, he mentioned no nation’s democracy was past enchancment and whereas custom might train, unite and encourage, it was “not sufficient to maintain us” in an period of eroding belief in establishments, fragmenting media and unverified data.

In terms of democracy, governments should make the individuals “companions on this process”, he mentioned, displaying “the humility to pay attention and clarify and advocate, not simply assert” and the braveness and capability to “push again towards cynicism and extremism, division and disinformation”.

“In some ways, this has by no means been tougher. However in each manner that issues, it’s by no means been extra essential.”
