Atrocity propaganda - the spreading of deliberate fabrications or exaggerations about the crimes committed by an enemy...forexample, the Oct 7th media narrative from Israel.

Consider, since the Hamas fighters had only been carrying rifles and other small arms, all those victims must have been killed by explosive tank shells and Hellfire missiles. Indeed, newly released video footage revealed that hundreds of Israeli cars had been incinerated by such munitions, suggesting that many or most of the Israelis killed fleeing the dance festival had probably died at the hands of trigger-happy Apache pilots, who reported that they had blasted anything that moved.

What really happened on 7th October?

Now, detailed statistics on the casualties released by the Israeli daily Haaretz paint a starkly different picture. As of 23 October, the news outlet has released information on 683 Israelis killed during the Hamas-led offensive, including their names and locations of their deaths on 7 October.

Of these, 331 casualties – or 48.4 percent - have been confirmed to be soldiers and police officers, many of them female. Another 13 are described as rescue service members, and the remaining 339 are ostensibly considered to be civilians.

While this list is not comprehensive and only accounts for roughly half of Israel’s stated death toll, almost half of those killed in the melee are clearly identified as Israeli combatants.

There are also so far no recorded deaths of children under the age of three, which throws into question the Israeli narrative that babies were targeted by Palestinian resistance fighters. Of the 683 total casualties reported thus far, seven were between the ages of 4 and 7, and nine between the ages of 10 and 17. The remaining 667 casualties appear to be adults.

The daring Hamas-led military operation, codenamed Al-Aqsa Flood, unfolded with a dramatic dawn raid at approximately 6:30 AM (Palestine time) on 7 October. This was accompanied by a cacophony of sirens breaking the silence of occupied Jerusalem, signaling the start of what became an extraordinary event in the occupation state’s 75-year history.

In its report on the events at Be'eri Kibbutz, ABC News photographed artillery pieces resembling Israeli munitions outside a bombed-out home. The reporter, David Muir, mentioned that Hamas fighters, covered in plastic bags, were found in the aftermath.

October 7 testimonies reveal Israel’s military ‘shelling’ Israeli citizens with tanks, missiles

Israeli security forces also opened fire on fleeing Israelis whom they mistook for Hamas gunmen. A resident of Ashkelon named Danielle Rachiel described nearly being killed after escaping from the Nova music festival when it was attacked by militants from Gaza. “As we reached the roundabout [at a kibbutz], we saw Israeli security forces!” Rachiel recalled. “We held our heads down [because] we automatically knew they’d be suspicious of us, in a small beat-up car… from the same direction the terrorists were coming from. Our forces began shooting at us!”

“When our forces fired at us, our windows shattered,” she continued. It was only when they shouted in Hebrew, “We’re Israelis!” that the shooting stopped, and they were taken to safety.

Israel’s military “eliminated everyone, including the hostages,” firing tank shells into kibbutz homes

Photos of the aftermath of the fighting inside kibbutzes like Be’eri – and of the Israeli bombardment of these communities – show rubble and charred homes that resemble the aftermath of Israeli tank and artillery attacks inside Gaza. As Tuval Escapa, the security coordinator at Kibbutz Be’eri, told Haaretz, Israeli army commanders had ordered the “shelling [of] houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the terrorists along with the hostages.”

Yasmin Porat, an attendee of the Nova music festival who fled into Kibbutz Be’eri, told Israeli Radio that when Israeli special forces arrived during a hostage standoff, “They eliminated everyone, including the hostages because there was very, very heavy crossfire.”

Israel’s military received orders to shell Israeli homes and even their own bases as they were overwhelmed by Hamas militants on October 7. How many Israeli citizens said to have been “burned alive” were actually killed by friendly fire?

Several new testimonies by Israeli witnesses to the October 7 Hamas surprise attack on southern Israel adds to growing evidence that the Israeli military killed its own citizens as they fought to neutralize Palestinian gunmen.

Tuval Escapa, a member of the security team for Kibbutz Be’eri, set up a hotline to coordinate between kibbutz residents and the Israeli army. He told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that as desperation began to set in, “the commanders in the field made difficult decisions – including shelling houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the terrorists along with the hostages.”

A separate report published in Haaretz noted that the Israeli military was “compelled to request an aerial strike” against its own facility inside the Erez Crossing to Gaza “in order to repulse the terrorists” who had seized control. That base was filled with Israeli Civil Administration officers and soldiers at the time.

These reports indicate that orders came down from the military’s high command to attack homes and and other areas inside Israel, even at the cost of many Israeli lives.

According to Haaretz, the army was only able to restore control over Be’eri after admittedly “shelling” the homes of Israelis who had been taken captive. “The price was terrible: at least 112 Be’eri residents were killed,” the paper chronicled. “Others were kidnapped. Yesterday, 11 days after the massacre, the bodies of a mother and her son were discovered in one of the destroyed houses. It is believed that more bodies are still lying in the rubble.”

Much of the shelling in Be’eri was carried out by Israeli tank crews. As a reporter for the Israeli Foreign Ministry-sponsored outlet i24 noted during a visit to Be’eri, “small and quaint homes [were] bombarded or destroyed,” and “well-maintained lawns [were] ripped up by the tracks of an armored vehicle, perhaps a tank.”

Apache attack helicopters also figured heavily in the Israeli military’s response on October 7. Pilots have told Israeli media they scrambled to the battlefield without any intelligence, unable to differentiate between Hamas fighters and Israeli noncombatants, and yet determined to “empty the belly” of their war machines. “I find myself in a dilemma as to what to shoot at, because there are so many of them,” one Apache pilot commented.

Video filmed by uniformed Hamas gunmen makes it clear they intentionally shot many Israelis with Kalashnikov rifles on October 7. However, the Israeli government has not been content to rely on verified video evidence. Instead, it continues to push discredited claims of “beheaded babies” while distributing photographs of “bodies burned beyond recognition” to insist that militants sadistically immolated their captives, and even raped some before torching them alive.

The objective behind Tel Aviv’s atrocity exhibition is clear: to paint Hamas as “worse than ISIS” while cultivating support for the Israeli army’s ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip, which has left over 7000 dead, including at least 2500 children at the time of publication. While hundreds of wounded children in Gaza have been treated for what a surgeon described as “fourth degree burns” caused by novel weapons, the Western media’s focus remains trained on Israeli citizens supposedly “burned alive” on October 7.

Yet the mounting evidence of friendly fire orders handed down by Israeli army commanders strongly suggests that at least some of the most jarring images of charred Israeli corpses, Israeli homes reduced to rubble and burned out hulks of vehicles presented to Western media were, in fact, the handiwork of tank crews and helicopter pilots blanketing Israeli territory with shells, cannon fire and Hellfire missiles.

By 10:30 AM, according to an account the military gave to the Israeli news outlet Mako, “most of the [Palestinian] forces from the original invasion wave had already left the area for Gaza.” But with the rapid collapse of the Israeli military’s Gaza Division, looters, common onlookers and low-level guerrillas not necessarily under the command of Hamas flowed freely into Israel.

By this point, Israel’s two Apache helicopter squadrons had 8 choppers in the air, “and there was almost no intelligence to help make fateful decisions,” Mako reported. The squadrons did not reach full strength until noon.

As the wave of infiltrations from Gaza drove chaos on the ground, discombobulated Israeli pilots unleashed a frenzy of missile and machine gun salvos: “The Apache pilots testify that they fired a huge amount of munitions, emptied the ‘belly of the helicopter’ in minutes, flew to re-arm and returned to the air, again and again. But it didn’t help and they understand it,” Mako reported.

The Apache helicopters appear to have focused on vehicles streaming back into Gaza from the Nova electronic music festival and nearby kibbutzes, attacked cars with apparent knowledge that Israeli captives could be inside. They also fired on unarmed people exiting cars or walking on foot through the fields on the periphery of Gaza.

The “Law of Return,” passed in 1950 by the Israeli Knesset was a stroke of marketing genius. Jews all over the world were at once granted a second nationality and a place of real or imagined refuge – Palestinians be damned. The rank injustice that we could “return” to a territory we never inhabited, while Palestinians were barred from returning to the land from which they had been recently expelled, never entered our minds.

It’s crucial that we understand the tight relationship between Mossad and CIA, which have been partnering
almost since Israel was founded (a partnership initially cultivated by James Angleton, the Agency’s supremely paranoid director of “counter-intelligence”). That link surely pertains to Netanyahu’s rise to power, his files suggesting a close CIA connection:

Spook, Terrorist or Criminal? America’s Mysterious Files on Netanyahu
By Neve Gordon

October, 1996

Nevertheless, Netanyahu’s files differ from those of most U.S. citizens. The Israeli weekly Ha’ir reports
that four requests for credit approval appear in U.S. social security file number 020-36-4537. Under each
request one finds a different name: Benjamin Netanyahu, Benjamin Nitai, John Jay Sullivan and
John Jay Sullivan Jr.—one man, four names.

According to Israeli law, a person who runs for the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) cannot hold dual citizenship.
Netanyahu claims that in 1982 he gave up his U.S. citizenship, yet he is unwilling to grant the press access to his
file located in the U.S. Embassy in Tel-Aviv—the file which holds information regarding his citizenship. Interestingly,
the status of his files in the U.S. has not changed, so according to U.S. law Netanyahu remains a U.S. citizen.

Netanyahu—the person who in 1982 left his job as a furniture salesman to be a policy adviser at the Israeli embassy
in Washington, DC, and within 14 years became prime minister—is still in many ways a conundrum.

GAZ

war-crimes-and-atrocity-hoaxes-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict
In just one month some 10,000 civilians have been killed in Gaza, a total larger than the
combined losses on both sides in the past twenty months of the Ukraine war. Despite the fulminations
of Western media outlets, since early 2022 only about 550 children have been killed in Ukraine, while
after just a few weeks the total in Gaza has passed 4,000. Moreover, while the Ukraine war was fought
between powerful, well-equipped modern armies on both sides, the defenseless civilians of Gaza are
being relentlessly pounded by one of the world’s most lavishly-armed military forces.

Apparently, the enormous ongoing massacre of innocent men, women, and children by the Jews of Israel has
led to a sharp rise in hostility and public anger directed toward the Jews of Europe, especially those
among them who are enthusiastic supporters of Israel and its current policies. The lead author was
Pulitzer Prize-winner Roger Cohen, a longtime European correspondent of the Times, and his effort was
backed by the work of nine additional Times staffers, underscoring the tremendous importance assigned to
that project. According to these writers, numerous top European political leaders regarded this sudden
rise of anti-Semitism as a huge social crisis, which they promised to stamp out by all possible means.

Given the alarmist title and opening of that long article produced by ten Times journalists, I naturally
expected to find numerous examples of European Jews having recently been killed or severely injured in
violent assaults, but no such cases were mentioned. Indeed, after carefully reading the piece twice, I
couldn’t find a single instance of a physical attack against Jews anywhere in the entire continent of
Europe. Nonetheless, the upsurge of anti-Semitism was characterized as massive and rampant—with total
recorded incidents numbering in the many hundreds. But all of these apparently involved merely verbal
abuse or threats, graffiti, and petty vandalism, with many of these narrowly focused on the Jewish
State and its supporters.

Israeli and Palestinian death counts from Oct 7 - 30 are very revealing.

Most Israelis killed on Oct 7 were of military age. By my last count, nearly 50% were uniformed soldiers on base and/or actively engaged in maintaining the siege of Gaza. That does not include those who carried weapons as private security or who served as reservists.

Those killed by Israel in Gaza are disproportionately under the age of 18 and over the age of 30.

These numbers were compiled from data of confirmed deaths published by Gaza's Ministry of Health and Haaretz. (Haaretz currently places the confirmed Israeli death toll at 1087, 323 below the officially claimed toll of 1400).

Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early

What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday
morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their
photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators?
Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify
these outlets? Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz,
it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.

Cohen left the Mossad in 2021 after serving as its head for five years and became head of the Israeli
office of the $100 billion Japanese company Softbank. A week after the Gaza war broke out on October 7,
he joined the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

Shared responsibilities
We should not forget that Cohen is part of the system that held to the mistaken “concept”
that had blinded the intelligence establishment before the October 7 attack, according to
which Hamas was not interested in war and that it could be bought with a mess of pottage.
When he was the head of Mossad, Cohen flew to Doha and returned with Qatari money to be
handed over to Hamas on Netanyahu's behalf. To Cohen's credit, in one of his recent interviews,
he expressed regret for this.

Israel is reportedly developing a biological weapon that would harm Arabs while leaving Jews unaffected, according to a report in London's Sunday Times. The report, citing Israeli military and western intelligence sources, says that scientists are trying to identify distinctive genes carried by Arabs to create a genetically modified bacterium or virus.

The "ethno-bomb" is reportedly Israel's response to the threat that Iraq may be just weeks away from completing its own biological weapons.

The "ethno-bomb" program is based at Israel's Nes Tziyona research facility. Scientists are trying to use viruses and bacteria to alter DNA inside living cells and attack only those cells bearing Arabic genes.

The task is very complex because both Arabs and Jews are Semitic peoples.

The Right of Self-Defence

In 2004 the International Court of Justice, in an advisory Opinion to the UN General Assembly, ruled illegal Israel’s construction of its great Wall, which is a fundamental part of the Israeli Apartheid system. The court considered Israel’s argument of self-defence and ruled that this did not justify the numerous breaches of international law represented by the Wall:

While Israel has the right, and indeed the duty to respond to the numerous and
deadly acts of violence directed against its civilian population, in order to protect the life of its
citizens, the measures taken are bound to remain in conformity with applicable international law.
Israel cannot rely on a right of self-defence or on a state of necessity in order to preclude the
wrongfulness of the construction of the wall. The Court accordingly finds that the construction of
the wall, and its associated régime, are contrary to international law.

there is in fact a positive legal duty on states to be acting against Israel in view of Israel’s refusal to dismantle the Wall and the Apartheid system in the occupied territories—including the widespread criminal settling and stealing of land which that system embodies. This is the International Court of Justice judgment on the obligations of other states:

Given the character and the importance of the rights and obligations involved, the Court is of the view that all States are under an obligation not to recognize the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem. They are also under an obligation not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by such construction. It is also for all States, while respecting the United Nations Charter and international law, to see to it that any impediment, resulting from the construction of the wall, to the exercise by the Palestinian people of its right to self-determination is brought to an end. In addition, all the States parties to the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 August 1949 are under an obligation, while respecting the United Nations Charter and international law, to ensure compliance by Israel with international humanitarian law as embodied in that Convention.

Read that paragraph very carefully. Israel has not undertaken any of the actions specified by the ICJ and has indeed built more settlements and imposed more restrictions. It is absolutely plain that the UK, US and European Union are not only not fulfilling their duty in international law as set out by the International Court of Justice,—

The US, UK and EU are acting directly opposite to their obligation in international law under the ICJ ruling.

I served in the IDF 25 years ago, in the intelligence forces. There’s no way Israel did not know of what’s coming. A cat moving alongside the fence is triggering all forces. So this??

Genocide lies at the core of Western imperialism. It is not unique to Israel. It is not unique to the Nazis. It is the building block of Western domination.

“A Textbook Case of Genocide”
The resignation letter of Craig Mokhiber, Director of the New York Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, has gone viral on social media but most posts only show page one. Here is the full four page letter.

Breaking the Silence is an organization of veteran soldiers who have served in the Israeli military since the start of the Second Intifada and have taken it upon themselves to expose the public to the reality of everyday life in the Occupied Territories. We endeavor to stimulate public debate about the price paid for a reality in which young soldiers face a civilian population on a daily basis, and are engaged in the control of that population’s everyday life. Our work aims to bring an end to the occupation.

The Times report said that Israeli officials referred to US and allied bombing campaigns in Germany and
Japan during World War II that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. The reference includes the
US fire bombings of Japanese cities, which killed around 100,000 civilians in Tokyo in one night in
1945, as well as the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Operation Susannah:False Flag Terrorism
9 Egyptian-Jewish Unit131 agents bomb UK / US targets to turn US/UK against GamalAbdulNasser
Israel defence minister ordered 1954 explosions that hit US, UK targets in Egypt
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20221210-israel-defence-minister-ordered-1954-explosions-that-hit-us-uk-targets-in-egypt/

In the 1950s, in order to prevent the United States from improving relations with Egypt, Israeli agents bombed a United States Information Agency library in Egypt and tried to make it appear to be an Egyptian act of violence. This false-flag operation was conducted by Egyptian Jews who were recruited by Israeli military intelligence to plant bombs inside American-owned assets. Typically for the Israelis, after five decades of denying involvement in the attack, the Israeli president awarded certificates of appreciation to the surviving agents.

In the 1960s, the Israelis told the United States at the highest levels that it would not conduct a pre-emptive attack against the Arab states; that is exactly what they did in starting the Six-Day War. In the war’s opening days, Israeli fighter planes bombed the USS Liberty, leading to the deaths of 34 American sailors. The Israelis claimed it was an accident. At the time, I was a CIA analyst working on the Middle East, and the intelligence indicated that this was an extremely well-planned “accident.” The Israelis still claim that they thought the attack was against an Egyptian ship, and the National Security Agency refuses to declassify documents that would detail Israeli culpability.

“Mossad Could Stage False Flag Attack On U.S.” – 09/10/01 U.S. Army Report
https://rumble.com/v3vmvxx-mossad-could-stage-false-flag-attack-on-u.s.-091001-u.s.-army-report.html

An elite U.S. Army study center has devised a plan for enforcing a major Israeli-Palestinian peace accord
that would require about 20,000 well-armed troops stationed throughout Israel and a newly created Palestinian state.

68-page paper by the Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) does provide a look at the daunting
task any international peacekeeping force would face if the United Nations authorized it, and Israel and
the Palestinians ever reached a peace agreement.

Of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS officers say: "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning.
Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act."
