I am utterly in awe. You have a knack for finding the undeniable—I won't even use the overused word "truth," but the absolutely documented undeniable core of an issue, and present the evidence. This is an extraordinary and incredibly useful compendium... Thank you.

Thank you so much Ammiel. I go through feeling ignorant (accurate, it just means one lacks knowledge) and I become desperate to be less ignorant. I dig until I feel I can square the circle at hand, even a little. usually one can't. This thing though, I must say, when I came upon it (via a Twitter acct) it really felt like everything fell into place. My only fear was "oh but everybody else who is educated on the matter knows this." But I ignore those voices. I wonder if this might change anything if more people knew about it?

Right now, Arab leaders are calling upon the Pals to remain in place as Human Shields for Hamas.

This whole series has been myopic nonsense.

The Rules of War weren't written to cover depraved fighters hiding behind children

Yes this is a profoundly ignorant-of-Hamas take she's giving. Of course Israel has said it will respond with the fires of hell when its existence is threatened, and of course they will (eventually) flatten rocket bases where Hamas hides behind their own women and children, who are being warned to flee, but are being prevented from fleeing BY HAMAS. Good lord people. Think before regurgitating nonsense about genocide. Pro-Palestinians have been throwing that word around for decades, while the Palestinian population swells in number. Jews are the worst genociders ever, apparently. *eyeroll*

Diane, what is your answer to why civilians, including women and children, are trapped BY Israel—bombed, killed, maimed dying by the minute? The buildings harbor Hamas secret weapons or bombs? What's your evidence for that?

Is it true or false that they will soon run out of water in Gaza? Have you (yes or no question) actually looked at any content from Gaza?

WHY is it so important to Israel to equate civilian life with military targets? I believe I answered this in this post. If you were honest you would say: "It's a genocide and it's necessary, in order for Israel to survive."

I'd respect that more.

Via Twitter:

BREAKING:

The United States and Israel have given Egypt an ultimatum that only US citizens will be allowed to exit through the checkpoint with the Gaza Strip.

Palestinians will be prohibited from leaving.

Egypt initially wanted to negotiate the evacuation of Palestinians through the checkpoint, but the United States and Israel only allowed humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip, in return receiving a “corridor for US citizens.”

The Palestinians are essentially in a “trap”. They can’t get out by sea, the Israeli military forces shoot everything that floats, there is simply no way out of the Gaza Strip, it’s more like sacrificing hundreds of thousands of

Palestinians as part of some kind of “ritual of collective murder.”

I had not heard the breaking news - does that involve the Gaza border with Egypt, then? As for the other - there is sufficient documentation that Hamas uses their own people for human shields for many years, and to insist that is not so borders on delusional. Hamas is profoundly disrespectful of human life. Which makes sense, if you think about the kind of carnage they're willing to inflict on other human beings, right? The organization clearly states it is dead set on eliminating Israel and the Jews. There is no moral equivalency. The democratic state of Israel has no language in their documents about eliminating Palestinians. They don't go into Gaza and kidnap civilians. They don't set tires around them and set them on fire. Nor do they go in and indiscriminately start shooting them. They couldn't get away with it. Every Palestinians has a cell phone camera, at least. Independent of the IDF, Jewish citizens likewise pose no risk to Palestinians - they don't sneak across the border to blow up buses and knife attack Palestinians. How can you not see the existential threat to Jews that Hamas is? Hamas started this by what they did last week, and it will not end well for them or likely many "innocent" Palestinians. That is on Hamas, not on Israel. As for your theory that it's a genocide - that's utter nonsense. If they'd wanted to genocide the Palestinians, they could have done it a long time ago. They've shown remarkable restraint considering the always-simmering-threat right next to them. People who use terms should know facts. There is no apartheid in a country where the minority can set in parliament, vote, serve in the military, etc. (speaking of Israel proper - there are obviously many, many Arab/Muslim Israelis and they live in peace in Israel). There is no genocide when the sheer number of the minority continues to grow. If you were honest you would consider all the evidence at hand. I'd respect THAT more.

I wish it was all that simple—there is no place to go in Gaza, no bomb shelters, no safe institutional buildings, nowhere to hide. People are crammed into very small spaces because, attack by attack over the years, probably about 30% of the housing stock has been destroyed & Israel will not allow rebuilding. The "Human Shields" business is, frankly, absurd. Schools have traditionally been targeted & bombed as well as medical facilities & medical personnel, & most of the victims are civilians. They have no army, no tanks, no air force, etc. In other words, they are, essentially, sitting ducks, & many many women & children & plain men will be flattened in the coming days & weeks. And nothing will come of it but more bloodshed & more hatred...

And those who survive will be ripe for becoming the next generation of so-called 'terrorists'.

The terrorists are governments looting committing genocide worldwide for a century (USA hand in hand with its parent UK) & UK for at least 800 years. Genocide is hidden by complicit MSM & part of US, UK policy with no one stopping these psychopaths. Israel created by UK eg Rothschilds (it seems likely related to British royals) & current UIK gov works for Zionism ie Israel, World Economic Forum (also Zionist), other Globalists such as Gates ie anyone but the British people who pay these criminals to be in government. Not the genocide focuses not just abroad but on the people themselves ie leaders such as Sunak, Macron, & many other European & other leaders are killing the people with many methods including poverty, destruction of food supply eg forcing farmers off their farms, 'pandemics' (man made by Globalists) & 'vaccines' which ar sin fact DNA editing nano technology. WEF leader Schwab openly says that billions of Useless Eaters have to die using many methods... Palestinian people are not terrorists and if any survive this evil cull I hope the world helps them to get rid of Israel which plans to steal more of the Middle East asap for 'Greater Israel' in the pipeline for decades at least.

Hamas was created by Israel, the CIA etc and funds Hamas. This 'war' is fake & the only victims are innocent Palestinians - the rest seems to be False Flag, crisis actors etc. Palestinian people have been tortured, beaten, raped, had villages burnt down with people in them, hundreds of children in Israeli prisons being tortured, sexually abused (international's charities report) So even if some Palestinians did become 'terrorists' or in normal language 'people fighting for their lives every day' then who caused it do you think? Genocide of Palestinians for 75 years by Israel with funding and weapons from USA, UK eg Trump was giving Isreal 40 billion dollars a year. Israel would sink without trace if USA was not paying.

I'd invite you read Michael Buergermister's letters to Richard Medhurst (Letters from Vienna) on Substack. He talks about Operation Cast Lead. Aso, Dr Faiez Kirsten has a video on his stack today which is needed to be watched.

I am glad you followed your intuition. I had a similar intuition, but did not follow it. Just this morning I told my husband that what upsets me is civilian death and I didn't see why I needed to pick a side. This has ironically unfolded as a holocaust of civilians driven by terrorists and an Israeli government which is also acting as a terrorist. The cognitive dissonance on the reporting here has been off the charts but what I am left thinking is that this is a war on civilians, which this doctrine so deftly illustrates. My hope is that people will begin to reason this out and to consider the ramifications with respect to all of us living on the planet. And further, as we have been combating this one world global doctrine, and as it has felt both personal and murderous--particularly with Ukraine and with Covid, it is becoming increasingly clear that the real battle is between the people and the genocidal maniacs running the world.

Militaries have been murdering civilians from the beginning of time. The US is no different. US military massacred Indian tribes across the continent. Texas Rangers were created just to massacre the impoverished Mexicans who couldn't leave after Texas conquered Mexico to the Rio Grande. Dresden. Hiroshima. Nagasaki. Cambodia and My Lai. Iraq. Afghanistan... Men. Women. Children. Babies in the crib.

I'm sure I've left out some significant ones from this list. Hypocrisy is a bucket with no bottom.

I don't see one shred of historical evidence we are going to change anything.

Thank you Celia. Another nefarious strategy behind Dahiya involves UK/US/Israeli intelligence covertly infiltrating certain Palestinian resistance groups to convince them to commit acts of violence ostensibly to promote the Palestinian cause, but then using it to demonstrate how evil the Palestinians are and justify use of overwhelming violence in retaliation. Former Israeli military intelligence operative, Ari Ben-Menashe describes how this worked during the Iran-Iraq war, in which Israel greatly profited from helping sell arms to Iran and used subterfuge to discredit Palestinians and Syrians. See https://swprs.org/ari-ben-menashe-on-israeli-black-operations/ Still relevant today.

I never did grasp the "Palestine never existed" argument. Do people really think the land just lay there desolate?

Three of my four grandparents were Italian. My paternal grandfather was born in 1888; his mother was born in 1850. I suspect the word "Italy" didn't even appear in maps of 1850 Europe. Italy was a collection of city-states, kingdoms, principalities, etc., back then. It didn't "unify" to become a bona fide nation-state until 1861.

Does that mean Italians didn't exist before 1861? What does that make my great-grandmother? A non-feathered bipedal deplorable?

Got a Bible from the 1800s that has a section in it at the end describing and naming Palestine. Got a Bible from 1976 with a map showing 'Palestine in the time of Jesus'. Palestine most certainly existed before the state of Israel was created.

Taking the war to civilians was used in the US Civil War by W.T. Sherman on the Southerners. It is a form of initiation into a blood cult of Satanic proportion which America was dragged into and has never fully recovered. Israel is an offshoot of very demented and occult beliefs which, hopefully, at least in the present situation, will be stopped before dragging the world into a catastrophic war which, believe it or not, the occultists want so as to bring about the rule of the antichrist from Israel. Who knows how many believers in this wickedness are in the world pushing for this agenda. True believers in Jesus Christ must pray for the Holy Trinity to hold back this catastrophe on all levels if life on this earth is going to even exist. Saying that, I also must admit in my own heart, it might be God's time to bring about the END.

Exactly, the first casualty is always the truth.

Obviously the Palestinians are the underdog here.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Apparently there are a lot of Israelis and secular jews that would seem to agree.

Anybody I would bet, if someone came along and told them to get out & off of the land God because promised it to my people , when they had already been living there hundreds if not thousands of years, ( See American Indians) would be just a little upset. This is why I don't want anything to do with religious fanatics of any stripe.

It's really rich that the Jewish religious zealots don't serve in the millitary! They expect demand, and get the Israeli government to do the dirty work from them. Perfect formula for permanent war. As I understand it a lot of Israeli citizens seem to agree

The evil bastards in my own country can't ever turn down any wars they can get into.

Another group that's revolting are the idiotic Muh Isreal evangelicals. Lemesee my sister, my mother several aunts & uncles my oldest son all have kissed the ring (ass) I'll bet God himself is disgusted with the idiocy is his name. I feel bad for the childern of the scumbags on both sides.

Thank you for writing this Celia. It’s a difficult issue also because it seems to have split RFK and key supporters including Kucinich. I don’t know where MCM is on this but he just exited my Facebook group “navel gazing,” as we don’t have too many filters. I supported Dennis and he endorsed me too during the 2008 political season-with similar anti war platforms.

This was very interesting Laurie - I never thought about a riff between the two. I was just happy he left! RFK Jr. was practically a shoe-in and someone was clearly destroying the campaign. I actually stopped paying attention and cancelled all my emails from them. He came at a time where people were finally and truthfully fed up with everything. He was never anti-vax but rather exposed all the lies, and told the truth. He was against wars and corruption. He wanted to close 800 military bases around the world and spend that money here at home! He certainly had the experience and knowledge to follow through with his promises No one knows politics better than the Kennedys - how the game is played and where the skeletons are buried. He sued the government numerous times and therefore knew exactly where the corruption and malfeasance resided. The one world synonymous with him should have been corruption and putting a stop to it! Cleaning house. Everything he said resonated with everyone. Young, old, black, white, male, female, Democrat Republican, Independent! It was his time until they started with all this crap! I had to stop supporting him! Whose bright idea was it to have him working out with his shirt off? Who the hell were they trying to attract? The campaign slogans on his bus were the worst. It advocated for peace (in huge letters) when in fact right now all anyone cares about is the economy, corruption, and the malfeasance (the word corruption was much smaller)!

I personally felt whoever was advising him was copying verbatim from the exact same campaign playbook that's been used for decades.. Both Obama and Trump won because they were so very different. Along comes RFK Jr. who can put both these guys and everyone else to shame and proceeds to blow it!

Trump resonates with the uniformed voter because he speaks their language! RFK Jr. needs to start doing the exact same! Stop with the big words, stop riding your father and uncles coattails and instead pound home the corruption. How you are the only candidates capable of actually enacting everything you're saying! Like Kucinich said he can't be bought or bullied. Instead they wanted us to join hands and sing kumbaya around the campfire. Like James Carville once said, it's the economy stupid but in RFK's case it should be IT's THE CORRUPPTION stupid!!! Lets hope this finally changes everything

I just read your latest post about the

Dahiyeh Doctrine used by IDF as a means

of military response tactic , in urban settings.

It is reprehensible that such despicable war

fighting strategy is employed by Israel

indiscriminately against adversarial combatants!

It clearly would fall under the category of

criminal acts of war, by its very nature. I am in

no way condoning or making excuses for

the horrific acts of barbarism committed by

Hamas Militia Members , on their attacks on

multiple Israeli settlements on October 7th,

when these latest hostilities began. What Hamas did was inexcusable, definitely war

crimes, as this was inflicted upon unarmed

civilians, many of them children. Nothing would

justify such egregious behavior, and those

who perpetrated these horrific acts, should

be held accountable for their actions.

However, to employ collective punishment

against the civilians of Gaza, who bear no

responsibility for the killings and hostage

taking that Hamas Militia committed, is also

inexcusable. The attack aircraft of the IDF

are targeting civilian infrastructure, with the

intention of punishing the personnel of Hamas

as retribution for their October 7 attacks on

Israel. In the process, they are killing hundreds if not thousands of Palestinian civilians, laying

waste to entire neighborhoods , and with the

cutting off of water, electricity, food, medical

supplies and fuel from entering Gaza, Israel

will be responsible for causing a humanitarian

disaster of almost unimaginable proportions!!!

The world cannot stay silent as this continues.

Such disproportionate retaliations by Israel

against the population of Gaza, will only insure

that the cycle of violence will be perpetuated

without end. It may also widen the scope and scale of this conflict, well beyond the borders of

Israel, and draw in third parties that could turn this into a regional war, with potentially

catastrophic consequences ,for the region

and the world as a whole! This is not an

outcome that any of us can afforestation to

play out.

Hopefully some cooler heads can prevail and

negotiate a ceasefire, before things spiral

completely out of control. This area of the

Middle East, is a veritable powder keg, that

will not require much assistance , for it to

fully explode, and allow all hell to break loose.

Thank you Celia, for bringing this to our

attention. Clearly , Western Governments

and Mainstream Media, have no intention of

bringing such subject matter out into the

open. For them to do so, far too many people

would begin to ask questions, that they do not

wish to answer! It is disgraceful and incredibly

disturbing that circumstances have been

allowed to deteriorate in such an appalling

manner! Now more than ever, we need voices

of reason to be heard, and not suppressed

and relegated to the sidelines. Far too much is

now at stake! Let us pray that some rationale

and common sense is applied, before further

endless suffering , misery and deprivation

occurs. God bless you Celia for having the

courage to provide us with this critically

important information , on your sub stack

platform , and yet again uncovering the truth!

Do people believe that the demonic murderers who committed atrocities in Israel crawled out from under rocks as fully formed terrorists? On the contrary. From birth and all through their childhood the Palestinian terrorists were embued with hatred of Jews, hatred of Israel, and an overwhelming desire to destroy Israel. These "innocent civilians" - fathers, mothers, grandparents, aunts and uncles nurtured hatred in their children and now are paying the price. Furthermore, the citizens of Gaza voted for Hamas to run their government. They voted to have a terrorist organization lead them - an organization that has taken foreign humanitarian aid money to buy armaments and to provide for Hamas leaders to live in luxury in Qatar. Nevertheless, the "innocent civilians" who were able to work in Israel should they wish and receive medical care from them, kept right on fomenting hatred of Jews. And now show no sympathy for the young innocents their hate-filled sons tortured, raped and murdered but expect the world to cry over their suffering that they brought

upon themselves because of their all consuming hate.
