Israel Lied About Murdered Children To Justify Murdering Children

Israel resumed its genocidal campaign of annihilation in Gaza early Tuesday morning, killing hundreds in a matter of hours, including many children. As of this writing, the death toll from this assault is reportedly at least 413.

Israel is not even pretending that Hamas violated the ceasefire agreement it signed on to in January, saying instead that the decision to resume the onslaught was made because Hamas had been rejecting a significantly altered new agreement put forward by the Trump administration which would have allowed Israel to postpone moving toward a lasting peace.

“This follows Hamas’s repeated refusal to release our hostages, as well as its rejection of all of the proposals it has received from US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and from the mediators,” reads a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Israel will, from now on, act against Hamas with increasing military strength,” Netanyahu said.

Of course we all know Israel is not really acting against Hamas; Israel is acting against the entire population of the Gaza Strip. The plan to eliminate all Palestinians in Gaza has been openly confessed to by the president of the United States, who went as far as posting a freakishly disturbing AI-generated music video on social media about the future of Gaza after its US-backed ethnic cleansing. Israel is simply making the enclave as dangerous and uninhabitable as possible so that everyone who lives there will be forced to either leave or die.

And this was all planned in advance. As soon as the Gaza ceasefire agreement was announced, the Netanyahu-aligned pundits in Israeli media were already saying they knew for a fact that the prime minister wasn’t going to allow the deal to move on to its second phase. After Netanyahu visited Washington and stayed for nearly a week, the Israeli outlet Haaretz reported that the prime minister was planning to sabotage the ceasefire deal upon his return. Now here we are, watching Netanyahu completely torch the ceasefire after weeks of actively sabotaging it.

Not only was this all planned in advance — it was also propagandized for in advance. Israel and the western political-media class spent days pushing the atrocity propaganda narrative that Hamas had murdered child hostages Kfir and Ariel Bibas in the early weeks of the Gaza onslaught — not just murdered them, but murdered them with their bare hands.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

“Today is a tragic day. It’s a day of boundless sorrow, of indescribable pain.

Public outrage was deliberately drummed up around this narrative, despite no evidence ever being presented to the public that it was true. Western landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower were lit orange at night in a transparent attempt to highlight the children’s whiteness for westerners who’ve been trained to ignore the deaths of darker middle eastern children. Israel supporters brayed for Palestinian blood as this babies-on-bayonets atrocity propaganda was pushed into their minds to manufacture consent for future atrocities.

And it was all a psyop. Zeteo’s Muhammad Shehada reported a month and a half ago — weeks before the Bibas narrative was unfurled — that Israel’s narrative managers appeared to be gearing up to use the Bibas kids to justify future bloodshed by pretending they didn’t know whether the children were alive or not, swearing vengeance if they were dead. Hamas reported back in November 2023 that the Bibas children had been killed in an Israeli airstrike along with their mother. In December 2023 it was reported in the mainstream press that Hamas had offered to return their bodies to Israel but Israel refused, telling the press that “Israel will not address propaganda-based reports coming from Hamas”.

Lo and behold, the atrocity propaganda narrative about the Bibas children was rolled out a few weeks later when their bodies were returned by Hamas as part of the ceasefire agreement, just as Shehada had anticipated. And just last week, former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant admitted publicly that he had known the Bibas kids were dead the entire time, directly contradicting the feigned shock of Israel and its spinmeisters when the bodies of the children were returned.

Israel's ex-Defence Minister admits they knew for 15 months the Bibas family were killed (but Israel's gov kept their deaths secret while parading their abduction as a rallying cry).

Gallant says Yarden Bibas was armed & fighting (along with Shiri) when taken captive.

To this day, Israel has presented the public with no evidence of any kind that the Bibas siblings were murdered by the bare hands of their captors, rather than by the same Israeli airstrikes that were killing women and children every day in the same area as common sense would suggest. Given Israel’s extensive history of lying about exactly this sort of thing, we can safely assume that the evidence was never presented because there isn’t any evidence.

They lied. They lied about murdered children in order to justify murdering children, just like they lied about beheaded babies on October 7 in order to justify killing thousands of babies in Gaza.

When it comes to Israel, every accusation is a confession.

‘I am a political prisoner’: Mahmoud Khalil says he’s being targeted for political beliefs

In his first public remarks since being detained by federal immigration authorities, Palestinian activist and recent Columbia graduate, Mahmoud Khalil, spoke out against the conditions facing immigrants in US detention and said he was being targeted by the Trump administration for his political beliefs.

“I am a political prisoner,” he said in a statement provided exclusively to the Guardian. “I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law.” ... The Trump administration, he said, “is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent”, warning that “visa-holders, green-card carriers and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs.”

The statement, which Khalil dictated to his friends and family over the phone from an Ice detention facility in Jena, Louisiana, railed against the US’s treatment of immigrants in its custody, Israel’s renewed bombardment of the Gaza Strip, US foreign policy, and what he described as Columbia University’s surrender to federal pressure to punish students.

“My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force Monday night,” the statement said. “With January’s ceasefire now broken, parents in Gaza are once again cradling too-small shrouds, and families are forced to weigh starvation and displacement against bombs. It is our moral imperative to persist in the struggle for their complete freedom.” ...

Khalil’s arrest ignited protests and caused alarm among free expression advocates, who view the deportation attempt as a violation of his free speech rights. Khalil has not been accused of a crime. His lawyers argue that the Trump administration is unlawfully retaliating against him for his activism and constitutionally protected speech. In an amended petition filed last week, they contended that his detention violates his constitutional rights, including the rights to free speech and due process, and goes beyond the government’s legal authority.

MAGA - Miriam Adelson's Goals Achieved

The Israeli-American Trump mega-donor behind speech crackdowns

The Trump administration’s effort to deport a Columbia University graduate student, Mahmoud Khalil, in retaliation for Khalil’s role in campus protests opposing Israel’s war in Gaza, showed the lengths the White House is prepared to go to police speech about Israel.

The administration’s unprecedented decision to seek the deportation of a U.S. permanent resident without bringing any criminal charges has an overlooked ally, however: the largest financier of Trump’s three presidential campaigns, Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson.

Adelson’s support for the administration’s campaign to stifle criticism of Israel on college campuses isn’t a new focus but her alignment with the levers of state powers to implement her vision are unprecedented. In fact, tax documents reveal that she is directly overseeing a social media campaign targeting Khalil and Columbia University.

In 2015, Adelson, alongside her husband Sheldon, who died in 2021, funded the newly formed Maccabee Task Force (MTF) with $2.28 million, according to IRS filings from the couple’s foundation. MTF claims to “combat the disturbing spread of Antisemitism on college campuses” but in practice spends much of its efforts attacking the boycott, divest and sanctions campaign against Israel, which MTF characterizes as “an Antisemitic movement that crosses the line from legitimate criticism of Israel into the dangerous demonization of Israel and its supporters.” ...

While Maccabee Task Force’s website makes no mention of Miriam Adelson, the group’s most recent IRS filing reveals she is far more than just its major funder. The Israeli-American billionaire is also MTF’s president. And under her leadership the group — with its sizable social media presence, particularly on Facebook where it has over 317,000 followers — came out swinging against Khalil and Columbia University with vitriolic and profane attacks.

Israel BREAKS CEASEFIRE, Bombs Gaza Again

Netanyahu warns Israel’s renewed Gaza offensive ‘is only the beginning’

The wave of deadly airstrikes that shattered the pause in hostilities in Gaza is “only the beginning”, Benjamin Netanyahu has warned, also promising that the new offensive would continue until Israel achieved all of its war aims – destroying Hamas and freeing all hostages held by the militant group.

Any further ceasefire negotiations would take place “under fire”, the Israeli prime minister said in a televised address on Tuesday night, his first after Israel launched attacks that killed more than 400 people in the devastated Palestinian territory, in the bloodiest single day of violence since the first months of the war in 2023.

“Hamas has already felt the strength of our hand in the past 24 hours. And I want to promise you – and them – this is only the beginning,” Netanyahu told viewers. Earlier, Israel’s defence minister raised the prospect of many weeks or even months of war in Gaza.

“Hamas must understand that the rules of the game have changed,” Israel Katz told reporters during a visit to an airbase, adding that “the gates of hell will open and it will face the full might of the IDF in the air, at sea and on land” if hostages were not freed.

The Israeli army has issued evacuation orders covering the northernmost and eastern parts of Gaza, suggesting renewed ground attacks could be launched soon.

If it wasn't before, Gaza is Donald Trump's genocide now.

Trump Gave Israel the ‘Green Light’ To Restart Large-Scale Bombing in Gaza

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, President Trump gave Israel the “green light” to restart its genocidal war on Gaza by launching massive airstrikes on the besieged territory, which killed at least 404 Palestinians, including scores of women and children, on Tuesday morning.

The report, which cited an Israeli official, said Trump was given a heads-up before Israel began launching the strikes. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Israel consulted with Trump before launching the bombing and repeated the president’s threat that “all hell would break loose.”

In his nearly two months in office, President Trump has rushed military aid to Israel, approving over $12 billion in arms deals and sending 2,000-pound bombs. Trump has also repeatedly called for the permanent expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, emboldening the members of the Israeli government whose goal is ethnic cleansing.

Pepe Escobar : Trump, Yemen, and Iran

Trump and Netanyahu accelerate the “final solution” in Gaza

On Tuesday, Israel massacred over 400 men, women and children in a series of bombardments in Gaza. In doing so, it has launched a new phase of a genocide that is aimed at the systematic extermination or displacement of the entire remaining Palestinian population. Tuesday’s massacre was one of the deadliest days of the 18-month-long Gaza genocide, which has killed 61,700 people, according to Gaza’s media office, and has leveled the entire region. It took place amidst a total blockade of food, water, energy and electricity into Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue the onslaught, declaring that the attacks were “only the beginning.” The bombardment was carried out with American bombs in coordination with the Trump administration, which acknowledged on Monday that it had been informed in advance. That is, the mass murder was a joint Trump-Netanyahu operation. For the White House, the escalation of the Gaza genocide is seen in direct relationship to the US assault on Yemen, which continued into its fourth day on Tuesday, following the largest attack on Yemen in years, killing dozens of people. And this is itself seen as part of the offensive targeting Iran and beyond Iran—China. ...

Media coverage of Tuesday’s massacre presented it within the context of a supposed “ceasefire” or “negotiations.” These words are meaningless. In the 528 days since Israel launched the Gaza genocide, variations in the tempo of the extermination campaign, presented as “ceasefires” in the media, have merely proven to be opportunities for the rotation of troops and the replenishment of ammunition stocks in preparation for the next massacre.

The stated, explicit aim of the Trump administration and its client regime in Israel is the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in Gaza and the annexation of the valuable oceanfront land. The implicit aim, under conditions in which the expulsion of 2 million people is likely to prove logistically impossible, is the total extermination of the Palestinian people.

This genocidal project to expel or exterminate the Palestinians forms the linchpin of the plan to create a “New Middle East” under direct imperialist control, as part of a globe-spanning project of world domination by US imperialism.

Netanyahu banks on political dividends as he restarts Gaza war

As the ceasefire in Gaza extended from days into weeks, and newly freed hostages began sharing grim details of their captivity, Benjamin Netanyahu’s political room for manoeuvre seemed to shrink. He was caught between the far-right parties propping up his government, keen to return to war in Gaza, and the majority of Israelis who prioritised the fate of the remaining hostages over the “total defeat” of Hamas demanded by their prime minister.

Public opinion polls showed broad support for a second stage of the ceasefire deal, which would mean a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip and the return of all living hostages.

But his finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who opposed the ceasefire deal from the start, had repeatedly threatened to quit if fighting didn’t resume, and Netanyahu has to coral his fractious coalition through a critical vote this month. If the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, doesn’t approve an overdue budget for 2025 by 31 March, the government will be automatically dissolved and the country will hold early elections.

For many in Israel, the overnight bombardment of Gaza, the deadliest since the early months of the war in 2023, was a clear sign Netanyahu had made a political decision about the future of the conflict. Campaigners for hostages still held in Hamas captivity attacked it as an immense betrayal.

Israeli protesters say airstrikes are ‘cover’ for Benjamin Netanyahu to keep power

Protesters in Israel have accused Benjamin Netanyahu of ordering the airstrikes that shattered the ceasefire in Gaza on Tuesday to provide “cover” for a campaign to dismantle Israel’s democratic system and to maintain his own grip on power.

Political tensions in Israel surged after the Israeli prime minister announced on Sunday that he would seek to fire the head of the Shin Bet internal security service, an unprecedented move that legal experts said may be unlawful.

“The reality is that this attack [in Gaza] is being used as a tool for political interests. The way [they] operate is to create this external threat and accuse those who raise their voices of being anti-democratic,” said Ora Peled Nakash, a former senior officer in Israel’s navy and an organiser of the protests. ...

Netanyahu needs support from rightwing allies to win crucial votes in Israel’s parliament in coming days and weeks, or risk losing power. These allies have fiercely opposed a permanent end to hostilities in Gaza. The far-right former national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who resigned in protest at the ceasefire agreed with Hamas by Netanyahu in January, rejoined the government on Tuesday.

Netanyahu is also on trial for corruption and, if found guilty, could face prison. Also on Tuesday, a court approved Netanyahu’s request not to appear at a hearing “due to the renewal of the war”, Israeli media reported.

France preparing ‘survival manual’ for every household

The French government is reportedly planning to send a “survival manual” to every household in the country with instructions on how to prepare for an “imminent threat” including armed conflict, a health crisis or a natural disaster.

If approved by François Bayrou, the prime minister, the 20-page booklet will be sent to households before the summer, French media reported.

It will be divided into three parts with advice on how to protect “yourself and those around you”, what to do if a threat is imminent – with a list of emergency numbers, radio channels and a reminder to close doors and windows if the threat is nuclear – and details of how to get involved in defending your community, including signing up for reserve units or firefighting groups.

It will also suggest putting together a “survival kit” consisting of at least six litres of water, a dozen tins of food, batteries and a torch, as well as basic medical supplies including paracetamol, compresses and saline solution, according to Europe 1 radio, which reported the story.

It quoted a spokesperson from the PM’s office saying: “The purpose of this document is to ensure the resilience of populations in the face of all types of crisis, whether natural, technological, cyber or security-related.”

Canada’s Liberals on course for political resurrection amid trade war, polls show

In January, Canadian pollsters and political pundits struggled to find fresh ways to describe the bleak prospects of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party, musing whether it would be a wipeout of existential proportions, or merely a catastrophic blowout.

But fresh polling released by three companies this week shows a stunning reversal of fortunes for the party: newly minted prime minister Mark Carney’s Liberals are projected to secure a majority government.

The outcome has little precedent in Canadian history, reflecting the outsized role played by an unpredictable US president, and it underscores the incentives for Carney to call a snap election in the coming days.

On Tuesday, the political analyst Philippe Fournier updated his closely watched website 338Canada, which tracks and aggregates national polls, converting those figures into projected election results.

For the first time, his projection showed the Liberals with a 55% chance of a majority government. In January, the odds stood at less than 1%.

Sabotaging Social Security: Trump & Musk Move Ahead with Plan to Gut Agency

SCOTUS SLAMS BRAKES On Trump Judge Attacks

Chief justice rebukes Trump for call to impeach judge hearing deportation case

John Roberts, the chief justice of the US supreme court, delivered a rare rebuke on Tuesday of Donald Trump after the US president demanded the impeachment of a federal judge who had issued an adverse ruling against the administration blocking the deportation of hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members. “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said in a statement. “The normal appellate process exists for that purpose.”

The statement came hours after Trump assailed the chief US district judge in Washington DC, James Boasberg, for issuing a temporary restraining order halting deportations under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 that gives the president the power to conduct removals without due process.

“This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!” Trump wrote about Boasberg, labelling him a “Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge” and a “troublemaker”. Trump’s personal attack against Boasberg reflected his broader resentment at being increasingly constrained in recent weeks by court orders he believes are wrong, and his frustration at having his signature deportation policy be halted while subject to legal scrutiny.

It also followed the administration’s attempt to have Boasberg thrown off the case, complaining in a letter to the clerk of the US court of appeals for the DC circuit – a bizarre way to force a recusal – on grounds that he had overreached by improperly turning the matter into a class-action lawsuit.

Musk and Doge’s USAid shutdown likely violated US constitution, judge rules

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that Elon Musk and the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) likely violated the US constitution by shutting down USAid, ordering the Trump administration to reverse some of the actions it took to dismantle the agency. The decision by US district judge Theodore Chuang was sweeping in its scope and marked a major setback for the administration’s signature takedown in its effort to bulldoze through the federal government.

As part of an injunction that directed the Trump administration to reverse course, the judge halted efforts to terminate USAid officials and contractors, and reinstate former employees’ access to their government email, security and payment systems. The judge also compelled the administration to allow USAid to return to its currently shuttered headquarters at the Ronald Regan building in the event that the underlying case challenging the closure of the agency was successful. The administration is expected to appeal the ruling.

At issue in the lawsuit, brought by more than two dozen unnamed former USAid employees in federal district court in Maryland, was Musk’s role in overseeing the deletion of the USAid website and the shut down of its headquarters. Chuang wrote in his 68-page opinion that Musk had likely violated the appointments clause of the constitution by effectively acting with the far-reaching powers of an “officer of the United States”, a designation that requires Senate confirmation. “If a president could escape appointments clause scrutiny by having advisers go beyond the traditional role of White House advisors who communicate the president’s priority to agency heads,” Chuang wrote, “the appointments clause would be reduced to nothing more than a technical formality.”

The Trump administration has said for weeks that the moves to dismantle USAid were carried out by the agency’s leaders – currently secretary of state Marco Rubio and acting administrator Pete Marocco – who were implementing recommendations from Musk. But Chuang rejected that contention with respect to the closure of USAid headquarters and the erasure of its website, saying that the administration provided no evidence that they were formally authorized by a USAid official.

“Under these circumstances, the evidence presently favors the conclusion that contrary to defendants’ sweeping claim that Musk acted only as an advisor, Musk made the decisions to shutdown USAID’s headquarters and website even though he ‘lacked the authority to make that decision,’” Chuang wrote.

Liberal Media TURNS On Schumer LIVE ON AIR

‘Cataclysmic’: environmentalists fear effects of Trump cuts on Great Lakes

Donald Trump’s and Elon Musk’s attacks on federal agencies and funding freezes will be “cataclysmic” for the environment of the sensitive Great Lakes region if not reversed, industry and environmental advocates in the region warn. Initial actions taken since Trump returned to the White House in January – and put Musk in charge of slashing the federal government – already risk poisoning drinking water, decimating fish populations, and risking the jobs and health of tens of millions of people who rely on the lake system, they add.

Trump and Musk’s cost-cutting agency, the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge), promised to dramatically reduce federal spending and workforce levels, and it has already fired hundreds of federal workers while targeting hundreds of millions of dollars of funding dedicated to protecting the waters of the Great Lakes. The administration and Doge’s sledgehammer approach is particularly dangerous for the ecologically sensitive lake system that spans about 1,200 miles (1,900km) from Minnesota to central New York, said Christy McGillivray, political director for the Sierra Club’s Michigan chapter.

The vital lakes provide drinking water to more than 40 million people in the US and Canada, hold about 90% of the US’s freshwater, and are home to 3,500 species of plants and animals. They also directly support at least $750bn in annual commerce. “Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s ignorance is staggering, and they have no idea what the federal government does for this region,” McGillivray said.

Among the first Doge casualties was the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s 12-person sea lamprey control unit. Lampreys, called “the vampires of the Great Lakes”, are a deadly invasive species that threatens to devastate the $7bn Great Lakes fishing industry that supports 75,000 jobs because they prey on and suck blood from native fish. The unit was already struggling to keep the lamprey population under control after Covid slowed its work. Similarly, a multibillion-dollar project in Illinois aimed at repelling invasive silver Asian carp that destroy native fish populations because they deplete food sources has been shelved after federal funding was frozen. ...

Drinking water is also at risk. Musk’s Doge cut Noaa staff that help protect it from toxic algal blooms that are difficult for wastewater treatment plants to address, and can cause vomiting, liver problems and kidney damage. Fertilizer runoff from farmland has driven algae problems in Lake Erie, and as recently as 2014 left 400,000 people around Toledo without water for several days. Federal efforts to rein in the fertilizer runoff will likely be targeted, advocates say. Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency has proposed cutting 675 out of 1,035 EPA staff members who work in Michigan, said Nic Cantello, a union president representing EPA workers in that state and the upper midwest. Already it has eliminated 18 enforcement staff dedicated to the Great Lakes, including six attorneys, which is grinding to a halt enforcement against the region’s worst polluters..

White House sparks uncertainty over fate of two major California national monuments

The White House is fueling speculation over plans to eliminate two large national monuments in California established by former president Joe Biden. Less than a week before leaving office, Biden designated the 624,000-acre (250,000-hectare) Chuckwalla national monument in southern California and the 224,000-acre Sáttítla Highlands national monument in northern California. Native American tribes consider these lands sacred and had urged Biden to protect them from drilling, mining, clean-energy development and other industrial activity.

But questions about the monuments’ status arose on 15 March when a White House fact sheet dated 14 March removed references to them. When initially released, the fact sheet listed a bullet point stating: “Terminating proclamations declaring nearly a million acres constitute new national monuments that lock up vast amounts of land from economic development and energy production.”

By Saturday, that line had disappeared. The plan to repeal the proclamations, first reported by the New York Times, comes amid Donald Trump’s increasing efforts to dismantle Biden’s environmental legacy. The Environmental Protection Agency also began rolling back Biden’s key climate regulations this week, including rules promoting electric vehicles and reducing power plant emissions. ...

[I]t remains unclear whether he has the legal authority to revoke Biden’s proclamations outright. The Antiquities Act of 1906 allows presidents to designate or expand national monuments but does not specify whether they can rescind those protections without congressional approval.
