Speaker 0: Today, the streets of Israel erupting into chaos. Protesters blocking major roads, chaining themselves together in front of the country's parliament. A last ditch effort by opponents of the government's controversial plan to weaken the Supreme Court, but it wasn't enough. Israeli police are using water cannons to try to clear the roads. They're cracking down hard, but the protesters say they'll stay on the street. A car appearing to ram protesters. Police say 3 injured. The first part of prime minister Netanyahu's judicial overhaul passing 64 to 0. His conservative religious government voting for it. While opposition lawmakers walked out in protest. The plan takes away the Supreme Court's power to nullify some government decisions. Netanyahu allies say liberal judges had been incorrectly overturning actions of the conservative majority. Netanyahu tonight saying fulfilling the will of the voters is not the end of democracy, it's the essence of democracy. But opponents of the plan say they're afraid for their country. I'm worried about my future, my children's future. These military reservists say they'll no longer serve in protest at the new law. Some of them veterans of Netanyahu's old commando unit. I think he's the first dictator over Israel. And the White House tonight taking the unusual step of weighing in on the domestic politics of an ally criticizing today's vote in Israel as unfortunate.

To understand the current situation in Israel, I recommend watching a specific video. Israel's parliamentary system requires a majority of 120 seats to form a government. Due to mistrust of Benjamin Netanyahu, he formed a coalition with the extreme right and ultra-Orthodox parties. The lack of a constitution has led to reliance on the Israeli Declaration of Independence. Recently, protests erupted against proposed laws to weaken the Supreme Court, with 62% of Israelis favoring a consensus on judicial changes. Despite challenges, I believe in Israel and its people. Am Israel Chai.

@noatishby - Noa Tishby

If you want to understand what’s happening in Israel, watch this video. Israel has a parliamentary system in which majority out of 120 seats is required to create a government. Because of years of bad blood and mistrust of Benjamin Netanyahu, no one from the center was willing to form a government with him again, and he created a coalition with the extreme right and ultra orthodox, which are not the majority of the country. Israel does not have a constitution and the Israeli Declaration of Independence is what Israel uses as the basis upon which the country is run and the courts rule. The Supreme Court sometimes leaned on what’s called the Reasonableness Doctrine to rule. Over the years, many in Israel saw this as an overreach of the courts, accusing the Supreme Court of being an activist court. When the new government was swarm in, they went proposed a series of laws to weaken the Supreme Court. And the Israeli public rebelled, and for over 30 weeks has been protesting this proposed judicial overhaul. Because of these demonstrations, the majority of the laws which were originally proposed have already been taken off the table, but the first law just passed to not allow the reasonableness doctrine be used by the courts anyone. I have been asked about the stats and the fact that most Israelis do not support this move and the new numbers are in and they could not be more clear. 62% of the Israeli public thinks an overhaul should either be reached by a consensus or the entire legislation should be abandoned. Only 22% thinks the overhaul should continue as is. Now. Is Israel still a democracy? Absolutely it is. Is it being stress tested? Of course. But as we know from thousands of years of history, Judaism in and of itself is about a debate. We have been debating over everything for generations and we are debating now. And as always, this will make us stronger. So yes, these are trying and debate-full times in Israel. But I believe in Israel because I believe in the Israeli people and you should too.

Netanyahu's weakening grip on the country led to plans of altering the constitution, triggering massive protests. Tel Aviv was set to witness a significant demonstration. A major event was necessary to declare a government cabinet emergency. Charlie Kirk questioned how Israelis, mostly IDF, could attack their own people. Emotional manipulation united the populace, diverting attention from the real motives. Netanyahu's vaccine mandate was falsely linked to high excess deaths. We must recognize the unfolding situation, aiding those who seek division. The right and left have both fractured.

@OV_Matter - 🇦🇺OurVoicesMatter

BREAKING NEWS Were you aware that Netanyahu was losing his grip on the country while planning to alter the constitution, prompting hundreds of thousands to take to the streets? Were you informed that the weekend of these events was slated to host one of the largest demonstrations Telaviv? Were you across the fact that a MAJOR EVENT was NEEDED to put the government cabinet in a state of emergency? Did you know that Charlie Kirk publicly expressed skepticism about this narrative, stating, and I quote, "Nearly every Israeli is IDF"? So how did they attack so many? It's imperative, my friends, to examine the 'how' in all of this, because it appears that the 'why' had little to do with Palestinians and everything to do with sowing chaos and uniting people for a common cause. Emotional manipulation seems to have been used to bring the populace together. We were led to believe that Netanyahu, who mandated vaccines, had the highest excess deaths. Let's not forget that a few thousand Israelis are at stake here. Can't you see what's unfolding before us now? Ladies and gentlemen, I implore you once more to consider the mounting evidence. There's something far more ominous unfolding, and we're unwittingly aiding the group striving to sow division and conquer. The right has fractured, and the left has split in to two.

@photobyluke On Borrowed Time: The Countdown Ask yourselves why would the Israeli citizens want Bibi Netanyahu out of office? What do you think they know about his connections to the terrorist attacks? What have I revealed to you over the past week that implicates B. Netanyahu into certain events? Because if you have been paying attention and understanding the questionable actions by the Israeli government leading up to Hamas attacks the answers should be easy. Why Did Bibi Netanyahu turn off the Iron Dome? Why did Bibi Ignore intelligence that warned of possible encroachment of Hamas potential attacks 3 days in advance? Why would you turn off your own security system while in a hostile political environment? Do you see how critical the situation is? Bibi Netanyahu knows he has only so much time left on the clock. If he doesn't pull off what his Khazarians cronies want they all face exile, expulsion, and execution. Thanks to an interview that Mike Harris had with VT Senior Editor and Director Gordon Duff on his talk show “The Short End of the Stick” on 3-10-15. Gordon Duff disclosed that Netanyahu was a KGB spy like Jonathan Pollard. And we know now that Israel was started as a satellite of Bolshevik Russia and was quite unhappy when the Soviet Union fell. Benjamin Netanyahu was meeting at Finks bar in Jerusalem, a well-known Mossad watering-hole. Here is what he said as taken directly from the transcript of the recording which was witnessed and has been 100% fully authenticated. Quote: If we get caught they will just replace us with persons of the same cloth. So it doesn’t matter what you do, America is a Golden Calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the World’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control. End quote. ~Benjamin Netanyahu. This is who was behind Covid-19 Lockdowns/Quarantine. Now do you see why they wanted to have you in those restrictions all the way until 2030? Who do you think Bibi Netanyahu wanted to win in 2016? Hillary Clinton. How were they going to turn you into a welfare state? ■ Think about how many businesses were lost during Lockdowns. ■ Think about all the stores that lost their license because they didn't want to implement those Covid-19 policies. ■ Think about all the businesses that required mask to enter. ■ Think about all the places that required vaccination status to access. • Airports • Concerts • School • Jobs • Malls • Restaurants The Khazarians were behind the following. Irgun Bombing 9/11 Covid-19 Las Vegas Attacks Hamas Etc. There is alot more I can list. These Khazarians had plans going all the way back to the 40s on how they would take over Palestine. This is why Hamas was hired. Use them (Hamas) to attack Israeli citizens then blame Palestine. Get it? All the while being the mastermind behind the attacks on both Israel & Palestine.

Israeli politicians aimed to strip the Supreme Court of its power to overturn their decisions if found unconstitutional. Israeli politicians aimed to consolidate power for themselves. Then, suddenly, there was a Hamas attack. All the attention shifted to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Israelis united against the Palestinians. And Benjamin Netanyahu remained in power.

Major countries are refusing to use the US dollar for oil transactions, leading to a shift away from the dollar as a reserve currency. This could result in a significant threat to the American monetary system. China's decision to halt the purchase of US debt adds to the impending crisis. The situation is rapidly approaching a critical tipping point, with far-reaching implications for the American economy. Israel, propped up by the fiat USD, may face challenges as more countries stop using the dollar. The Rothschilds, who control the Federal Reserve, are at the center of this issue. The 2nd Declaration of Independence and various financial tools suggest a new financial system is emerging.

@Prolotario1 - Ariel

The Changing Of The Guard: It is widely known that 21 major countries are currently refusing to use the US dollar for oil transactions. Countries such as Russia, China, India, and even Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are among those who will no longer accept US dollars. The deadline for the cessation of US dollar acceptance for oil transactions is set for October 31, 2023. With this new shift, these countries will no longer purchase bonds that cannot be used for oil trade, marking a transition to a new reserve currency. Consequently, a massive influx of dollars held in foreign accounts is expected to return to the United States, posing a significant threat to the American monetary system. A critical signal of this impending crisis is China's announcement of its intention to halt the purchase of US debt, thereby leading the Federal Reserve to increase its current rate of dollar printing from $85 billion. The impending catastrophe is anticipated to exceed the scale of the 1930s stock market crash, catching many unaware of its potential magnitude. The situation, scheduled to culminate on October 31, 2023, appears to be rapidly approaching a critical tipping point, with far-reaching implications for the American economy and global financial stability. This brings us to Israel. Who is propped up by the fiat USD printed by the Federal Reserve which is controlled by who? The Rothschilds. Who created the "State of Israel"? The Rothschilds. Their entire empire is predicated upon the Middle East accepting the fiat USD for oil payments. Guess who will no longer be using this for daily commerce? Iraq. Over 200 countries are dumping the USD. So ask yourself what will the Rothschilds/Khazarian use if the Federal Reserve has already been nationalized and absorbed by the US Treasury who now controls the printing press? People like to call Donald Trump a Zionist. But they fail to mention that D. Trump was not against Iraq banning all ties to Zionist Israel by outlawing trade deals for all Iraq. Shouldn't Trump' be bad mouthing Iraq who implemented penalties by law for anyone caught doing business with Zionist? Why is D. Trump allowing Israel to be ostracized from emerging markets in the Middle East? Remember if Israel gets any aid ask yourself who is it really going to? Bibi Netanyahu is facing war crimes. His citizens want him gone. You do not think D. Trump knows that B. Netanyahu was behind 9/11? You do not think he knows that Netanyahu was behind Hamas? All you have to do is go back to what he said... when he asked us why doesn't Isis terrorists ever attack Israel? Because a dog doesn't bite its own tail. "Israel is the head of the Khazarian Mafia. The western Rothschild banks are collapsing at present while BRICS ascends. This means the debt slaves the Rothschild banking system created are refusing or unable to repay the principal and exorbitant interest these banks imposed for centuries. The Khazarian Mafia is broke." Enq quote. This was from ZetaTalks. Why are they stating the same in regards to my sentiment about Israel? Ask yourself why did D. Trump sign a 2nd Declaration Of Independence? Wouldn't this inadvertently mean that we were under control of a foreign power? Wouldn't this mean that the 1871 Corp Act created by the Rothschilds who created Israel are no longer in control of this country through our political & banking system? Once the Stock Market Correction occurs precious metals that they worked si hard to suppress will rise unabated. Guess what our new currency will be based on? The Gold Standard.

Multiple countries, including Turkey, Syria, and Colombia, are filing papers with the ICC to report Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes. It is concerning that notable figures like Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and Hollywood are not coming to his aid. Israel's military dominance and its leaders' involvement in false-flag attacks, such as 9/11, need to be understood. The media's silence on these matters is due to their allegiance to Zionism. It is crucial to pay attention to who we follow and hold accountable those involved in undermining our nation. Christian Zionist prophets, like Julie Green and Hank Kunneman, calling for the protection of Netanyahu despite his actions, raise questions.

@Prolotario1 - Ariel

1. Turkey 2. Syria 3. Colombia All these countries are filing papers for the ICC to report Bibi Netanyahu for "War Crimes Against Humanity". Ask yourself why Donald Trump is not coming to his aid? Ask yourself why Mike Johnson is not coming to his aid? Ask yourself why Hollywood is not coming to his aid? Wouldn't this be the perfect time for notable figures who always visit "The Western Wall" in Israel to show their unwavering allegiance to Zionism? Shouldn't these countries be under scrutiny and being threatened by people like Trump & Johnson since they are reporting the head of "The Khazarian Mafia" to the ICC if they are supposedly devout Zionist? The Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak were among the very first people to blame Osama Bin Laden for 9-11 and call for military action against the Taliban-led regime in Afghanistan. The false-flag attacks were designed and then used by these Israeli leaders to start their long-planned “War on Terror,” an Israeli military strategy pushed by Netanyahu for many years. The U.S. military presence in Afghanistan and Iraq allows Israel to carry out covert murderous false-flag terror operations in these beleaguered nations, acts that are effectively disguised as “sectarian” violence by the Zionist-controlled media. It needs to be understood that Israel is, unlike any Western nation, a state that is run by the military. It is often said in Israel that while some of the Zionists wanted Athens, they got Sparta. The Israeli military/security establishment dominates the political affairs of the nation and has done so for decades. Seven of Israel’s sixteen defense ministers, for example, were also serving as prime ministers. Four of them, Moshe Dayan Yitzhak Rabin Ehud Barak Shaul Mofaz ...also served as Chief of Staff of the military. This is essential to understanding Ehud Barak’s key role in 9-11. Ehud Barak, the defense minister, was both prime minister and defense minister of Israel from 1999 until March 2001. As defense minister, Barak led the criminal aggression known as Operation Cast Lead against the civilian population of Gaza from December 2008 through January 2009. Ehud Barak is a chief architect of 9-11. As Israel’s highest military strategist in political office, his role in the false-flag terror attacks of 9-11 was at the highest architectural level. As the Israeli prime minister and defense minister from 1999 through March 2001, Barak was at the top of Israel’s political and military establishment when the false-flag terror attack was being prepared. Although Barak was replaced as prime minister by Ariel Sharon six months before 9-11, the project had been planned and was set to go before Barak left office. Barak was given a high-paying position with Electronic Data Systems, an American company, only hours before the 9-11 attacks. Israeli crimes like 9-11 and the murder of President John F. Kennedy are planned well in advance and compartmentalized for operation security. Why isn't any Liberal or Conservative media outlets giving you this information? Because all of them serve the same master regardless of political views. They all answer to Zionist. I don't care if it Candace Owens or Bill Maher. They are all owned. They are all controlled. They are all bought & paid for. They know which boat not to rock. I don't care how hardliner they come across. They can put on their game face to voice their opinion on all the antics of the leftist looney goons. But they know which names not to bring up in any derogatory manner. Which is why it's a waste of time for me personally to give any of these conservatives the time of day. Because I used to follow these people just as you are doing now. You all need to pay attention to who abd what you follow. Because the Gavel & Soundblock will be the deciding factor on everyone who was not only involved in taking this country down but also those who gave you the run around on every other topics except the one that counts. The Christian Zionist Prophets: 🚫 Julie Green (Zionist) 🚫 Hank Kunneman (Zionist) 🚫 Kent Christmas (Zionist) 🚫 Mario Murillo (Zionist) 🚫 Jonathan Cahn (Zionist) Etc. These people are calling for the protection of a man that attacked your nation. What is wrong with these people? Why are they asking you to pray for Bibi Netanyahu? All you have to do is read all the information I have exposed about B. Netanyahu. Multiple countries are calling for him to be arrested. Israeli citizens want him to step down.

Israeli citizens, Turkey, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump all want Benjamin Netanyahu gone. Trump offered a peace deal, which Netanyahu declined. Trump believes the citizens will need assistance once the regime is toppled. Netanyahu's betrayal during the operation to take out Qasem Soleimani also contributed to Trump's desire for change. Soleimani's death was seen as a positive development by critics of the Iranian regime, including former President Hassan Rouhani and other leaders.

@Prolotario1 - Ariel

Do Not Be Fooled- The Israeli citizens want Benjamin Netanyahu gone. Turkey wants Benjamin Netanyahu gone. Vladimir Putin wants Benjamin Netanyahu gone. Donald Trump wants Benjamin Netanyahu gone. Why? D. Trump offered Benjamin Netanyahu a Peace Deal. He declined. Whenever you hear D. Trump state that we must help Israel. He is not talking about the government or the military. He is referring to the citizens who no longer want B. Netanyahu as their leader. He knows they will need assistance at some point once that regime in that region is toppled. I already wrote an entire article explaining how Donald Trump felt betrayed by Benjamin Netanyahu during the military operation to take out Q. Soleimani. On 3 January 2020, Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian major general, was killed by an American drone strike near Baghdad International Airport. At the last minute B. Netanyahu pulled out leaving military to scramble around the open gaps left and rearrange the mission objective. Soleimani was an extremely powerful and influential figure in Iran, responsible for the Quds Force's foreign operations and expanding Iranian influence across the Middle East. His death in a U.S. drone strike in January 2020 was a major blow to Iran's military and political leadership. Iranian public figures who were critics of the regime or opposed to Iran's hardline foreign policy felt a degree of relief or optimism about potential future changes with Soleimani removed from the picture. Thanks to Donald Trump. Former President Hassan Rouhani, who reportedly viewed Qasem's death as a positive development that could enable Iran to enter into a period of greater stability and progress. Other Leaders Include: • Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami • Former Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi • Former Foreign Minister Kamal Kharaz

Hamas is a terrorist organization, but Netanyahu's government extremism should be considered in reporting. The current response is disproportionate, and Netanyahu's management should not be shielded.

I try my best not to weigh in on topics that I’m not well versed on, and don’t weigh in on divisive, emerging events until I can share what I believe is reliable info. The same goes for the Palestine protests. If anyone cares about my personal views, I will say this much. /1

@clearing_fog - ClearingTheFog

What is happening in Gaza is a humanitarian nightmare. I blame Netanyahu, Likud, and the right wing extremists who control the government. They are Israel’s Trump and MAGA. Bibi is corrupt. His actions harm Israel on the world stage. An authoritarian who inflames divisions. /2

@clearing_fog - ClearingTheFog

I believe Bibi let the people of Israel down. He shuffled funds to Hamas to keep Gaza & the West Bank divided b/c he wants to undermine the very idea that Palestinians should have their own state. He pulled resources to help extremists push more settlements, ensuring a 10/7. /3

@clearing_fog - ClearingTheFog

As a corrupt authoritarian he cannot admit his faults or errors. He doubles down and will always make things worse. He cannot remain in power. He harms Israel and, unfortunately, also inflames toxicity toward Jews across the world every day (a tragic reality of antisemitism). /4

@clearing_fog - ClearingTheFog

The nightmare facing Palestinians is indescribable. Hamas used churches and faith based schools and hospitals to capture their society, convincing Palestinians to give them power. That was it. Democracy stopped existing in Palestine. Don’t blame Palestinians for this. /4

@clearing_fog - ClearingTheFog

Another tragic reality is that what happened in Palestine could happen anywhere. In the U.S., we are facing a militant religious movement not entirely unlike the one that captured Palestine’s democratic institutions. I hope people will reflect on this. That said… /5

@clearing_fog - ClearingTheFog

Hamas is a terrorist organization. After Oct. 7, Israel had (& has) every right to pursue and eradicate Hamas. Imagine what Israeli mothers and daughters went through that day. Think about it. But from the beginning, I was concerned about Bibi. Reminded of 9/11 Islamophobia. /6

@clearing_fog - ClearingTheFog

Reporting on Hamas’s deadly attack and invasion, and on Israel’s response, should include context about the extremism of Netanyahu’s government, and draw a distinction between supporting Israel versus giving a blank check to Netanyahu. They aren’t the same thing. https://t.co/tTHcu6ds3x

@clearing_fog - ClearingTheFog

What we are witnessing today is a disproportionate response by any reasonable measure, and Netanyahu’s management of this should not be shielded from that or explained away. Yes Hamas uses schools, hospitals; puts innocent Palestinians on the firing line. Does that justify… /7

MOSSAD allegedly intimidated ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda from 2017-2021. Yossi Cohen, former head of MOSSAD, reportedly threatened her and her family's security. Cohen's behavior was likened to stalking. He ambushed Bensouda in a Manhattan hotel suite and made multiple phone calls to her. Cohen raised questions about her security and career, showing covertly taken photos of her husband. The Trump Administration imposed visa restrictions and sanctions on Bensouda in response to her pursuit of investigations into war crimes. The ICC sought an arrest warrant for Netanyahu over Israel's conduct in the Gaza war.

🚨🇮🇱#BREAKING: MOSSAD Intimidates ICC Prosecutor Over Investigation Into Israel's War Crimes The Guardian has just published a damming story about MOSSAD's intimidation tactics of an ICC prosecutor. The intimidation took place from 2017 – 2021 Yossi Cohen, the former head of MOSSAD, allegedly told ICC prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda: “You should help us and let us take care of you. You don’t want to be getting into things that could compromise your security or that of your family.” Cohen was the same man who lobbied on behalf of Dan Gertler in the DRC by meeting multiple times with former President, Joseph Kabila. Gertler was an Israeli man who used vast means of corruption in order to rob the DRC of its natural resources. Current president of the DRC, Felix Tshisekedi, actually then expelled Cohen and told him to never return to the country. AND GUESS WHAT? The former president of the DRC that Cohen was meeting with, Joseph Kabila, was HELPING Cohen intimidate Bensouda. Cohen's behaviour was likened to "stalking". Cohen first met Bensouda at the Munich security conference in 2017. It was then reported that in 2018, Cohen "ambushed" Bensouda "in a bizarre episode in a Manhattan hotel suite." Bensouda was meeting Joseph Kabila, then president of the DRC, in relation to the ICC’s ongoing investigation into alleged crimes committed in his country. However, the meeting was a setup. After Bensouda's staff had been asked to leave the room, Cohen entered. It was stated that his unexpected appearance caused alarm for Bensouda and the ICC officials accompanying her. After surprizing Bensouda at her Manhattan suite, Cohen phoned her MULTIPLE times. Bensouda, distressed by the situation, eventually asked Cohen how he got her number, to which he replied: “Did you forget what I do for a living?” In 2019, Bensouda announced that she had grounds to open a full criminal investigation into allegations of war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. However, she delayed its launch, opting first to seek a ruling from the ICC’s pre-trial chamber to confirm whether the court had jurisdiction over Palestine. It was at this stage that Cohen upped his intimidation tactics on Bensouda in an attempt to get her to not pursue a full investigation into the matter. Between late 2019 and early 2021, there were at least three encounters between Cohen and Bensouda, all initiated by Cohen himself. A source familiar with the events that transpired told The Guardian that in Bensouda's last two meetings with Cohen he had raised questions about her security, and that of her family, in a manner that led her to believe he was threatening her. “On one occasion, Cohen is said to have shown Bensouda copies of photographs of her husband, which were taken covertly when the couple were visiting London."” “On a separate occasion, sources reported that Cohen suggested to the prosecutor that deciding to open a full investigation could severely damage her career.” The Trump Administration then imposed visa restrictions and sanctions on Bensouda in 2019. This was in response to Bensouda's pursuit of a separate investigation into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan, committed by the Taliban, as well as Afghan and US military personnel. The investigation was launched in 2021 by Bensouda and came to its conclusion last week when her successor, Karim Khan, announced that the ICC was seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu over the country’s conduct in its war in Gaza. WOW. What a story. The corruption runs deep with Israel...

I raised concerns about why U.S. election monitoring by CISAGOV involves Israeli IPs and Akamai servers. I referenced the influence of AIPAC on Congress and questioned why a foreign lobby can buy political power. I highlighted Israel's controversial history, including its nuclear program and the actions of groups that formed the IDF. I expressed my opposition to U.S. financial support for Israel while facing domestic issues. Additionally, I discussed the need for Trump to ensure election integrity in the upcoming midterms, emphasizing the importance of clean and transparent elections.

@Theonlyme333 - Theonlymethereis

Why does @CISAGOV ping through Israeli IPs run on Israel based Akamai servers during monitoring of U.S. elections? https://t.co/43jgxAR71M https://t.co/eYc2IcfBYb

@IanCarrollShow - Ian Carroll

That AIPAC purchased the seats of about 90% or more of our current congress. JFK famously wanted them registered as a foreign agent right before he was shot and thus they changed their name and never registered. Why are we letting a foreign lobby buy off our congress? That Israel was obviously the state sponsor of Jefrey Epstein, whose handler was Ehud Barak, ex head of Israeli military intelligence, his funding was Les Wexner one of the worlds richest Zionist 'philanthropists' and he was accused by ex Mossad assets of being Mossad. Not to mention the Maxwell connection. (They had blackmail on Clinton, and many, many more.) He who holds the blackmail holds the leash- just ask J. Edgar Hoover. That Israel is the only nation who has a defacto sanctioned, yet actually secret and unsanctioned nuclear program. A program that they stole from the United States- look into the Apollo affair, NUMEC, the Dimona nuclear facility. That jews, muslims, and christians lived side by side in peace in Palestine before the Rothschilds purchased the country from Britain during WW1 (see the Balfour declaration) and began their colonial program. That the groups that founded Israel, Lehi, Irgun, and Hagannah, were declared terrorist organizations by Israel itself because their tactics were so deplorable (bombing British and Palestinian civilians) yet these three 'paramilitary' groups rebranded to form the IDF and their leadership became the leadership of Israel for the following thirty plus years. That Israel is a foreign nation halfway across the world that has no business receiving my tax dollars. Why are we sending them billions of dollars of our tax money while our country burns, is overrun by illegal immigration, etc? We are told Israel is our 'greatest ally' so why would they have had a massive spy network targeting US government agencies leading up to sep 11, 2001 - see the Israeli art students DEA report for copious evidence of Israeli surveillance all across the continental US. This is an official government report that cites hundreds of incidents of observed Israeli surveillance teams documented by US government agents all across the continental US. And we still have received 0 answers why there were numerous fake Israeli moving companies positioned all across the eastern seaboard leading into September 11, 2001 and we have multiple eye witness reports, as well as hard photographic evidence that they knew the attacks were coming at least a day before they did and that they were positioned at a vantage point to photograph the attack up to a half hour before the first plane hit. Never got any answers- but you can read the official FBI reports about the incident. I've broken them down live on X before. That's just a small list of some of the best documented reasons why I, as an American, dont want Israel receiving any of my tax dollars. And I didn't even mention my obvious objections to the collective punishment, mass surveillance, forced starvation, bombing of refugee camps, brutal murdering of women and children that's been going on in Gaza and the West Bank for years, decades- which you can watch in graphic detail right here on X. And that's not to mention that somehow we let congress pass laws outlawing 'antisemitic' speech, despite our own first amendment. And we have anti-boycott legislation in multiple states, despite the fact that it's perfectly legal to boycott American companies... just not Israeli ones. Every content creator knows the fastest way to get demonetized, banned, and slandered is to be critical of Israel. I figured you would have realized this too after what they did to you and tried to do to X last year.

I’ve been reflecting on the serious allegations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jeffrey Sachs highlights that Netanyahu embodies extreme nationalism, distancing his actions from Jewish ethics. He faces an arrest warrant from the ICC for war crimes and corruption, with several countries, including Italy and Canada, committed to enforcing it. Netanyahu's ongoing trial for corruption marks a historic moment, as he becomes the first sitting Israeli prime minister to face such charges. His political maneuvers raise concerns about accountability and the potential for escalating conflict.

@SpartaJustice - Truth Justice ™

ISRAEL PM NETANYAHU WARRANT FOR ARREST: Jewish American policy analyst Jeffrey Sachs confirms Netanyahu is not just a Zionist, he is a vulgar, violent extremist nationalist and a danger to the whole world. Newly released videos show Netanyahu under investigation for corruption. President Trump warned Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza and not to strike Iran. Jeffrey Sachs goes on to say that everything I know about Jewish ethics and how I was raised is the opposite of what Netanyahu is doing. I don’t regard what Israel is doing as having anything to do with Judaism. It has to do with extreme nationalism. Zionism is not Judaism. Netanyahu is very clear. His whole life has been based on one idea, that there will never be a state of Palestine. That is his whole politics from the beginning to the end. Netanyahu has always had a plan to go to war with seven countries and Iran was the seventh country. Jeffrey Sachs confirms that Netanyahu is properly under indictment for war crimes and crimes against humanity. He is wanted for arrest This is very straightforward. The idea that any of this remotely has to do with Judaism, to my mind, is wrong. Part of Netanyahu’s propaganda is that if anyone attacks him, he says it is antisemitism. This is again another narrative game without substance. The ICC is recognized by 124 member nations, all of which in theory would arrest Netanyahu if he were to visit those countries. However, the ICC lacks its own enforcement mechanisms and the court depends on member nations to cooperate in executing arrest warrants, which they are obligated to enforce. Netanyahu Arrest Warrant: Full List of Countries That Will Comply With ICC: Italy Italy's defense minister Guido Crosetto told RAI television, "We would have to arrest them," adding that it was not a political choice but one that Italy was bound to as a member of the ICC. The Netherlands Foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp declared that the Netherlands "implements the Rome Statute 100 percent," indicating readiness to act upon the ICC arrest warrants. Spain The Foreign Ministry stated that Spain "respects" the ICC's decision and confirmed that the country "will comply with its commitments and obligations in relation to the Rome Statute and international law." Switzerland The Federal Office of Justice affirmed that it is obliged to cooperate with the ICC as per the Rome Statute and would arrest Netanyahu or Gallant if they entered Switzerland. Lithuania The Foreign Ministry confirmed that the arrest warrant would be executed. Canada Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, has said his government will abide by the rules and regulations of the ICC. "It's really important that everyone abide by international law; this is something we have been calling on since the beginning of the conflict," Trudeau told a reporter on Thursday. Ireland Taoiseach Simon Harris said on RTE, Ireland's national broadcaster, that Netanyahu would "absolutely" be arrested, and added, "We support international courts and we apply their warrants." South Africa In a statement, the government welcomed the ICC's decision and called it a "significant step toward justice for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Palestine." Turkey Foreign minister Hakan Fidan called the ICC arrest warrant "hopeful" and a crucial step in bringing Israeli authorities to justice for their "genocide" against Palestinians. The Israeli government has denied any allegations of genocide. Jordan Foreign minister Ayman Safadi said the ICC's decision must be respected and implemented, and that "Palestinians deserve justice." Norway Foreign minister Espen Barth Eide stated, "It is important that the ICC carries out its mandate in a judicious manner. I have confidence that the court will proceed with the case based on the highest fair trial standards." Sweden Foreign minister Maria Malmer Stenergard stated that her country and the EU "support the court's important work and protect its independence and integrity," adding that Swedish legal authorities will decide on the arrest of subjects of ICC warrants. Everyone in the world should be demanding the lawful arrest of Netanyahu for his war crimes and crimes against humanity before he starts World War III in order to hide his crimes and prevent his arrest.

Netanyahu's actions are viewed as extreme nationalism, not Judaism, and he is considered a danger to the world. His lifelong goal is to prevent a Palestinian state, evidenced by the "clean break strategy" to overthrow governments supporting Palestinians. Netanyahu, along with U.S. neoconservatives, allegedly promoted wars in Iraq and Syria. He is considered under indictment for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Israel is described as a democracy like apartheid-era South Africa, with violence against those opposing it. Netanyahu is seen as prioritizing the war in Gaza over the hostages and aiming to destroy the possibility of Palestinian existence in Gaza. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others for crimes against humanity, including using starvation as a weapon of war. Netanyahu's corruption trial influences his decisions, with the war becoming a tool to stay in power through instability. His goal is to make the Middle East in Israel's image, overthrowing opposing governments with the CIA's help. Israel has allegedly promoted multiple wars in the Middle East. Criticism of Zionism is not antisemitic, as there's a Jewish tradition opposing it. Israel's government is accused of war crimes and genocide in Gaza, prompting international legal action. Trump reportedly demanded an end to the Gaza war and opposed an Israeli strike on Iran.

Speaker 0: You you mentioned the war in in Israel. In in that and you are an American Jew. Right? Speaker 1: Yes. Speaker 0: So how is it to be so critical against Netanyahu? Don't you get reaction from Israel, from the Jewish community in The U. S? Because you are very, very critical. Speaker 1: Yes. Look, basically, everything I know about Jewish ethics and how I was raised is the opposite of what Netanyahu's doing. So, I don't regard what Israel is doing as having anything to do with Judaism. I have it has to do with extreme nationalism. Zionism is not Judaism. Zionism is a nationalist ideology. And Netanyahu is not just a Zionist, he is a vulgar, violent extremist nationalist. I know he's coming here for a visit. To my mind, he is a danger for the whole world. That's the fact. So, I don't regard this as having anything to do with Judaism. Speaker 0: Mhmm. What do you think it's his target in Gaza to eradicate the Gaza? Speaker 1: Well, said it. They said it the day. Speaker 0: It's to make plan of President Trump turn it into I Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessarily real, though it's crazy to have said it. But Netanyahu is very clear. His whole life has been based on one idea, that there will never be a state of Palestine. That's his whole politics from beginning to end. And in 1996, when he came to office as prime minister for the time, he and his American team concocted something that they called the clean break strategy. And this, again, like many such things such as, Brzezinski's book, explained the strategy straightforwardly. The strategy of clean break is we will never have a state of Palestine and to ensure that if any country in our region supports the Palestinians, we will overthrow that government, especially if they support a Palestinian armed resistance. So this is where many of the wars in this region have come from. They've come from the partnership of the U. S. Neoconservatives and Netanyahu's extremist nationalists. And this is, for example, the Iraq War was, heavily promoted by Netanyahu. The war in Syria was promoted by Netanyahu. Why? Because Assad was too close to Iran in this neocon extreme Zionist view. So Assad had to be overthrown. And this was a CIA operation, Operation Timber Sycamore, launched by Obama. It led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and to the current situation in Syria. This is my understanding based on, of course, thirty years of intensive engagement in these issues. And so I regard Netanyahu as properly under indictment for war crimes and crimes against humanity. This is very straightforward. The idea that any of this remotely has to do with Judaism, to my mind, is both wrong, a little bit bizarre, but of course part of Netanyahu's propaganda, because he wants it to be seen that way so that if anyone attacks him he says, Oh, that's anti Semitism. This is again another narrative game. This is not substance. Speaker 0: Professor, in Israel there is a democracy of Western type. Or is there any other type of regime Well, Speaker 1: it's a democracy like Speaker 0: There is no resistance from the opposition about ending the war and Speaker 1: I mean, a couple of points. it's a democracy like South Africa under apartheid was a democracy, which means that you have a democracy for one group and you freely kill Anyone that opposes. Threaten, expel, ethnically cleanse, the other group. So, this is not a democracy. This is an absolutely violent extremist government period. Netanyahu is reviled inside Israel, for different reasons. One is that, people see, that he doesn't care about the hostages. He cares about continuing the war in Gaza. I don't know how much, Israeli public opinion understands or cares about the ultimate justification. He's not fighting Hamas. What he's trying to do is destroy the Palestinian possibility of living in Gaza and having a state. And he just said a few days ago that Israel will permanently occupy Gaza. Any self respecting country in Europe should have immediately stood up and said, no. You can't do that. Speaker 2: Tonight, the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants for Israel's prime minister, his former defense minister, and the military chief of Hamas charging them with crimes against humanity. Raf Sanchez joins us. Raf, what did the court say? Speaker 3: Lester, the court says there are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and his defense minister used starvation as a weapon of war by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Netanyahu strongly denies that saying the court's ruling undermines democracy's fight against terrorism, and both the White House and the incoming Trump administration united in condemning the decision. Netanyahu, though, a world leader now wanted for war crimes, and while he's unlikely to face imminent arrest, he could be arrested if he steps foot in any country that's a member of the court, including The UK, France, and Canada. Lester? Speaker 4: Nothing concentrates the mind like the prospect of being hanged. With Netanyahu, nothing concentrates his mind more than the sound of the prison gate slammed behind his back. So everything that he has done over the last five years was so focused on that sound of the gate potentially slammed behind his back. To fully understand the chaos in the region, one has to look back at the prime minister's legal predicament. The corruption trial became a dominant factor in his decision making. Speaker 5: The engine is the corruption cases, and it all started with the fact that the prime minister does not respect the law. Anyone that dare to touch mister Netanyahu is doomed. And after the catastrophe, the October 7, the war became another instrument to stay in power. He survived in a state of war. He survived in a state of instability. He survive when we fight each other. He survive when our enemies fight each other. Speaker 6: A forever war is beneficial to Netanyahu. This makes people feel like they are always in danger, like they always need him. There's always some huge threat. I think that that helps him remain prime minister. Speaker 5: It's not a cover up. It's not that he tried to kill evidence. It tried to kill the system. It took all of us hostage in this trial. Speaker 1: This has been a desire of the Israeli government that stretches back more than twenty five years. Netanyahu's idea is make the Middle East in Israel's image, overthrow every government that opposes Israel. He's had a friend in that and that is the CIA and the United States government. So, this the reason I wanna be clear about this is that we will not have peace in this region until we have public diplomacy that is based on real diplomacy, not on CIA operations. And we will not have peace until Israel stops its militarization of the entire Middle East because the Syrian war is just one of six wars that Israel has promoted, including in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan. We had the list actually from Wesley Clark back in 2001 when he was handed a paper in the Pentagon that the goal was seven wars in five years. The only war that hasn't taken place yet to Netanyahu's great consternation is the US war with Iran, which Israel is still trying to instigate to this very day. Speaker 7: And you begin with that breaking news in The Middle East and now escalating fears of an all out war in the region. The IDF has confirmed Israel has hit nuclear targets. Officials say dozens of jets completed the stage that included strikes on dozens of military targets, including nuclear ones. Our producer on the ground in Tehran heard blasts around the city. Our teams have reported air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The strikes come as The US has planned nuclear talks with Iranian officials this weekend. We'll go to Tel Aviv in just a moment, but let's go straight to senior White House correspondent Selena Wang. Selena, what are US officials saying about this attack? Well, in fact, we're Speaker 8: just getting a statement from the White House. According to secretary of state Mark Ruby in the statement, he is stressing that there was no US involvement in this attack. I'll just read to you part of it saying tonight Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. He goes on to say that Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self defense. President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear. Iran should not target US interests or personnel. Now, Lindsey, this comes after the state department had ordered nonessential diplomats out of Iraq and the Pentagon had authorized military families to depart throughout the mill Middle East voluntarily if they chose to do so. The president has said that the region could become very dangerous. Now earlier today, I asked president Trump just how imminent this strike could be. He said it very well could happen, but he stressed that he prefers a diplomatic solution. In fact, just last month, president Trump had said that he warned prime minister Netanyahu against striking against Iran because he said The US and Iran were close to an agreement. So the big question here, Lindsey, is what this means for ongoing US and Iran nuclear talks. Speaker 1: But there's a claim made by people who don't know what they're talking about that being critical of Zionism is anti Semitic. There is a huge Jewish tradition criticizing, attacking, opposing Zionism. Zionism is a very conflictual issue in Jewish thought for the last two centuries. And in fact, you know, many of the most religious communities within Judaism oppose the state of Israel, period. They don't think it's appropriate. So this idea that, attacking Israel or criticizing Israel, on the grounds that it's anti Semitic is is basically ignorance by people who don't know what they're talking about. But there's something more, and I think it needs to be said. Israel's behavior is completely despicable. I'm talking about the behavior of the Israeli government. It's committing war crimes and crimes against humanity before our eyes. The destruction that it has wrought in Gaza is absolutely criminal, which is why South Africa brought a case in the International Court of Justice, a case of genocide, no less, under the 1948 Genocide Convention. This is why the International Criminal Court has Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, under an arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. We can't speak out about that. The whole world should speak out about that. What Israel's doing has been slaughtering innocent women and children and men for, by the way, a very long time, but before our eyes in recent times. And, of course, we should speak out against it. Speaker 9: I'll keep with this subject. Trump's Trump reportedly demanded a permanent end to the war in Gaza and opposed an Israeli strike on Iran. How do you interpret this stance, and how might it influence Israeli decision making? Speaker 1: And Netanyahu is not just a Zionist, he is a vulgar, violent extremist nationalist. I know he's coming here for a visit. To my mind, he is a danger for the whole world. That's the fact.

NETANYAHU INDICTED FOR CORRUPTION: Israeli Prime Minister faces his first day of cross examination in his criminal trial eight years after the investigations was first opened. He is charged with bribery, fraud, and breach of trust across three different corruption cases. Netanyahu's testimony follows years of investigations, deliberations, legal proceedings, and delays. He is the first sitting prime minister in Israeli history to have taken the witness stand as a defendant. Eli Assayag, a retired police Brigadier-General, oversaw the investigation into accusations of bribery, fraud and breach of trust against Netanyahu from mid-2018 until its conclusion in early 2019. In November 2019, then-Attorney-General, Avichai Mandelblit, filed formal charges against Netanyahu, accusing him of corruption in three cases. JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was indicted Thursday in a series of corruption cases, throwing Israel’s paralyzed political system into further disarray and threatening his 10-year grip on power. He rejected calls to resign, angrily accusing prosecutors of staging “an attempted coup.” The first-ever charges against a sitting Israeli prime minister capped a three-year investigation, with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit indicting Netanyahu for fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes. Netanyahu becomes Israel’s first sitting prime minister to be charged with a crime. His predecessor, Ehud Olmert, was forced to resign a decade ago ahead of a corruption indictment that later sent him to prison for 16 months. Netanyahu is using war to stay in power and to avoid severe punishment.

It's not that he try to kill evidence. It tried to kill the system. It took all of us hostage in this trial.

NETANYAHU WANTED FOR WAR CRIMES: The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes in that country's deadly war campaign in Gaza.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu, his former defense minister, and the military chief of Hamas, charging them with crimes against humanity. The court stated there are reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu and his defense minister used starvation as a weapon of war by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Netanyahu denies this, claiming the court's ruling undermines democracy's fight against terrorism. The White House and the incoming Trump administration condemned the decision. While unlikely to face imminent arrest, Netanyahu could be arrested if he enters a country that is a member of the court, including the UK, France, and Canada. Attacking or criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic, and Israel's behavior is despicable. The Israeli government is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. South Africa brought a case in the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide. Israel has been slaughtering innocent people for a long time.

Speaker 0: Tonight, the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants for Israel's prime minister, his former defense minister, and the military chief of Hamas charging them with crimes against humanity. Raf Sanchez joins us. Raf, what did the court say? Speaker 1: Lester, the court says there are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and his defense minister used starvation as a weapon of war by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Netanyahu strongly denies that, saying the court's ruling undermines democracy's fight against terrorism, and both the White House and the incoming Trump administration united in condemning the decision. Netanyahu, though, a world leader now wanted for war crimes, and while he's unlikely to face imminent arrest, he could be arrested if he steps foot in any country that's a member of the court, including The UK, France, and Canada. Lester? Speaker 2: But there's a claim made by people who don't know what they're talking about, that being critical of Zionism is anti Semitic. There is a huge Jewish tradition criticizing, attacking, opposing Zionism. Zionism is a very conflictual issue in Jewish thought for the last two centuries. And in fact, you know, many of the most religious communities within Judaism oppose the state of Israel, period. They don't think it's appropriate. So this idea that attacking Israel or criticizing Israel on the grounds that it's anti Semitic is is basically ignorance by people who don't know what they're talking about. But there's something more, and I think it needs to be said. Israel's behavior is completely despicable. I'm talking about the behavior of the Israeli government. It's committing war crimes and crimes against humanity before our eyes. The destruction that it has wrought in Gaza is absolutely criminal, which is why South Africa brought a case in the International Court of Justice, a case of genocide, no less, under the nineteen forty eight Genocide Convention. This is why the International Criminal Court has Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, under an arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. We can't speak out about that. The whole world should speak out about that. What Israel's doing has been slaughtering innocent women and children and men for, by the way, a very long time, but before our eyes in recent times. And, of course, we should speak out against it.

I am facing my first day of cross-examination in a historic corruption trial, charged with bribery, fraud, and breach of trust across three cases. This follows years of investigations, making me the first sitting Israeli prime minister to take the witness stand as a defendant. The charges stem from allegations of receiving gifts for political favors, manipulating media coverage, and granting regulatory benefits to a telecommunications company in exchange for favorable press. My actions during this trial coincide with ongoing conflicts, raising concerns about my motivations to maintain power.

NETANYAHU INDICTED ON CORRUPTION: Israeli Prime Minister faces his first day of cross examination in his criminal trial eight years after the investigations was first opened. He is charged with bribery, fraud, and breach of trust across three different corruption cases. Netanyahu's testimony follows years of investigations, deliberations, legal proceedings, and delays. He is the first sitting prime minister in Israeli history to have taken the witness stand as a defendant. Eli Assayag, a retired police Brigadier-General, oversaw the investigation into accusations of bribery, fraud and breach of trust against Netanyahu from mid-2018 until its conclusion in early 2019. In November 2019, then-Attorney-General, Avichai Mandelblit, filed formal charges against Netanyahu, accusing him of corruption in three cases. JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was indicted Thursday in a series of corruption cases, throwing Israel’s paralyzed political system into further disarray and threatening his 10-year grip on power. He rejected calls to resign, angrily accusing prosecutors of staging “an attempted coup.” The first-ever charges against a sitting Israeli prime minister capped a three-year investigation, with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit indicting Netanyahu for fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes. Netanyahu becomes Israel’s first sitting prime minister to be charged with a crime. His predecessor, Ehud Olmert, was forced to resign a decade ago ahead of a corruption indictment that later sent him to prison for 16 months. Netanyahu is using war to stay in power and to avoid severe punishment. This is why he started the war with Iran to stay in power and to stay out of prison. His trial is happening now.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicted on corruption allegations after a three-year investigation, a first for the nation. Netanyahu, calling the charges an attempted coup, was indicted for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. The charges stem from three separate corruption cases, including claims he offered bribes for favorable news coverage and accepted over $250,000 in gifts from billionaire friends for political favors. Netanyahu, a strong US ally, has been seeking a fifth term as prime minister. After Netanyahu and rival Benny Gantz both failed to form a majority coalition government, the nation could be on the verge of a possible third election in under a year. Gantz says Netanyahu has no public or moral mandate, while Netanyahu claims he is a victim of a witch hunt and did nothing wrong.

Maybe it's an honor to have you at the Oval Office. Thank you. A strong ally of The US and close friend of president Trump, Netanyahu, who has ruled Israeli politics for ten years, been seeking a fifth term as prime minister.

NETANYAHU CHARGED WITH BRIBERY FRAUD AND BREACH OF TRUST: If he is convicted he could face several years in prison and he would have to resign as the Prime Minister of Israel This is a historic corruption trial that is going on during wartime with Iran and Gaza. Case 1000 Also known as the “Gifts Affair”, this case charges the Israeli prime minister with fraud and breach of trust. It involves allegations that Netanyahu and his wife Sara received lavish gifts from two wealthy businessmen in exchange for political favours. The businessmen are Arnon Milchan, an Israeli Hollywood film producer, and Australian billionaire James Packer. Case 2000 The indictment says Netanyahu made a deal with businessman Aron Mozes, a controlling shareholder of the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, for favourable coverage in exchange for legislation to slow the growth of the rival Israel Hayom newspaper. This case also charges him with fraud and breach of trust. Case 4000 This case indicts Netanyahu for granting regulatory favours to Israeli telecommunications company Bezeq in return for positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website controlled by its former chairman. Netanyahu, in his capacity as communications minister at the time, allegedly provided regulatory benefits to Shaul Elovitch, the owner of Bezeq who also controlled the news website Walla. The benefits reportedly included mergers and financial gains. In exchange, Elovitch provided favourable coverage of Netanyahu and his wife. Netanyahu “dealt on several occasions with regulatory matters pertaining to Mr Elovitch, and took specific actions that promoted significant business interests of Mr Elovitch of substantial financial value”, the indictment summary said. Besides fraud and breach of trust, Netanyahu has been charged with bribery in this case. Netanyahu has started war with Iran and war in Gaza to stay in power and to stay out of prison. He is a danger to Israel and a danger to the entire world.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu testified in court, denying bribery, fraud, and breach of trust charges. He claimed the trial was unjust and politically motivated due to his security policies. Netanyahu's testimony marks the first time a sitting Israeli Prime Minister has testified in his defense in a criminal trial. He criticized the media and former President Obama, maintaining the charges against him are baseless. The most serious charge, case 4,000, alleges he offered regulatory benefits to a media mogul for favorable coverage. He is also accused of receiving lavish gifts. Netanyahu denies all allegations. The trial has been ongoing for over four years. If convicted and the conviction is upheld on appeal, he would have to resign and could face prison time. His testimony is expected to continue for several weeks, while he continues his duties as Prime Minister during wartime.

Speaker 0: Charged with bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Today's Israel's prime minister took, the stand in Tel Aviv, courtroom testifying for hours. Benjamin Netanyahu said he was astonished by the injustice of being put on trial and that he was being hounded because of his security policies. The corruption trial is the culmination of three separate investigations. And if mister Netanyahu is convicted and it's upheld on appeal, he will have to resign. CNN's Jeremy Diamond is at the courthouse for us. Jeremy, good to see you. We know that we're no cameras allowed in the courthouse. Give us a sense of what you're hearing. Speaker 1: Yeah. No cameras allowed during the prime minister's testimony, but we did see images of him entering that courtroom initially shaking hands, with, his supporters, including several ministers in his government who attended, the hearing, as a show of support. What followed was, first of all, a historic moment, the first time that a sitting Israeli prime minister has testified in his defense in his in a criminal trial. And what also followed was a series of diatribes by the Israeli prime minister against the media, against former president Obama, talking about foreign policy, talking about a range of issues, and ultimately kind of circling around to the notion that he views the charges that are being leveled against him effectively as, baseless allegations. Now what are those allegations? Because it is important to talk about that. There are, three key charges that he is facing, bribery, breach of trust, and fraud. The most serious of the of the, cases is case 4,000, which involves an accusation of bribery, alleging that he provided, or that he offered regulatory benefits to a wealthy media mogul in exchange for more favorable media coverage. Now the prime minister is also accused of receiving lavish gifts, hundreds of thousands of dollars of cigars, champagne, and jewelry. All of these allegations he denies, and he denied them in court today. This is also an extraordinary moment, of course, also because this is happening during wartime. The Israeli prime minister will be testifying not just today, but over the course of the next several weeks as much as, three times a week, six hours per day as he still goes on to carry the duties of prime minister. And and this is a trial, we should note, that has hung over the prime minister and really hung over this country in many ways for more than four years. We don't expect a verdict to be reached, at any time immediately, but once it is, if indeed he is convicted, he could face up to several years in prison, and he would also have to resign as prime minister.

I explored how the U.S. and Israel have historically created and supported various terrorist organizations to achieve short-term geopolitical goals, often leading to long-term instability. From Al-Qaeda's origins in the Soviet-Afghan War to the rise of ISIS and Hamas, these groups emerged from U.S. interventions and policies that disregarded the potential consequences. The posts detail specific cases, highlighting how U.S. funding, arms, and strategic support contributed to the militarization of regions, ultimately fostering the very threats they sought to combat.

@VoxExVeritas - VoxΩVeritas

The Origin of Terror 🧵(DEEP THREAD) MAIN How the "Deep State" (US & Israel) Created Terrorism The US and Israel have created, funded, and armed the majority of terrorist organizations worldwide to momentarily combat their "enemies," justify more war, expand power, and/or instill fear in Americans to garner support for further militarization and foreign military campaigns. Al-Qaeda was essentially created by the US to fight the Soviet Union. Before the CIA trained and armed the mujahideen, they were loosely organized Afghan farmers/fighters defending their homeland. Operation Cyclone provided money, weapons, and training, integrating foreign Arab volunteers who later formed Al-Qaeda. Israel has also supported militias and proxy groups in Lebanon, Gaza, and elsewhere when it served its strategic interests. Many of these groups evolved beyond their original purpose, becoming autonomous organizations targeting not only original enemies but also Western interests for their involvement. The pattern is clear: The US and Israel create or support armed groups to achieve short-term objectives, fully aware they will later become uncontrollable — Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and others are deliberate examples of this strategy. The Iran–Contra affair (1985–1987) showed that the U.S. and Israel secretly armed groups for geopolitical gain; fueling violence. The Reagan administration covertly sold U.S. weapons to Iran (despite an arms embargo) to free hostages. Israel acted as a middleman, transferring U.S.-made arms to Iran—partly for profit, partly for strategic leverage. Profits from the arms sales were funneled to Nicaragua’s Contra rebels. The scheme prolonged conflicts, led to civilian atrocities by the Contras, and destabilized regions—showing how U.S. and Israeli covert actions intentionally profit from long-term instability and war. 🧵 1. Al-Qaeda Origin: Late 1970s–1980s, Soviet-Afghan War. U.S. responsibility: CIA’s Operation Cyclone funded, armed, and trained Afghan mujahideen; foreign volunteers trained in Pakistan camps later formed Al-Qaeda.

The Origin of Terror (DEEP THREAD)🧵 1. Al-Qaeda Origin: Late 1970s–1980s, Soviet-Afghan War U.S. Responsibility: The CIA's Operation Cyclone was a covert program initiated in 1979 to arm and finance Afghan mujahideen fighters during the Soviet-Afghan War. This operation, one of the longest and most expensive in CIA history, involved the provision of weapons, training, and financial support to Afghan resistance groups through Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The program's primary objective was to counter Soviet influence in the region. However, it inadvertently laid the groundwork for the rise of Al-Qaeda. The influx of foreign fighters, including Osama bin Laden, and the establishment of training camps created a fertile environment for the development of transnational jihadist networks. These networks eventually coalesced into Al-Qaeda, which turned against its former benefactors, executing attacks such as the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Outcome: Al-Qaeda, originally a logistical network for Afghan jihadists, evolved into a global terrorist organization, orchestrating numerous attacks against U.S. and Western targets. Their motivation? ▫️U.S. Military Presence in the Middle East: American troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia, home to Islam’s two holiest sites (Mecca and Medina), after the Gulf War (1990–1991). This was viewed as an occupation of sacred land and directly fueled outrage among Islamist groups. ▫️Support for Israel: The U.S. provided political, military, and financial support to Israel, backing policies that oppressed and displaced Palestinians. This made the U.S. a legitimate target in the eyes of Al-Qaeda. ▫️Sanctions and Military Interventions in Muslim Countries: U.S.-led sanctions and military interventions in Iraq during the 1990s caused massive civilian suffering, which Al-Qaeda cited as direct evidence of Western hostility toward Muslims. ▫️Support for Authoritarian Middle Eastern Governments: The U.S. backed regimes in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Pakistan that actively repressed Islamic movements and populations, effectively making the U.S. complicit in the oppression of Muslims. ▫️Ideological and Religious Motivation: Al-Qaeda framed the attacks as defensive jihad — a religious duty to respond to Western aggression against Muslim populations. The U.S. was considered the “far enemy,” the main source of the oppression they were defending against. ▫️Retaliation for Prior U.S. Actions: Past U.S. interventions, including drone strikes, support for Mujahideen-turned-state adversaries, and sanctions, were treated as direct attacks on Muslims. The 9/11 attacks were a form of retribution for these policies. Wikipedia: https: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda

The Origin of Terror🧵2. Taliban — Deliberate U.S. Destabilization & Weaponization Retired Gen. Wesley Clark - Democracy Now 2007 FULL📽️ Origin: Early 1990s, post-Soviet Afghanistan U.S. role: Direct and indirect—CIA aid, Pakistan’s ISI, U.S. military infrastructure, and billions in funding created the networks and conditions the Taliban exploited. Outcome: Taliban seized power (1996–2001), sheltered Al-Qaeda, and regained control after the 2021 U.S. withdrawal, equipped with U.S. hardware and access to financial flows. Cold War & Soviet Invasion (1979–1989) Operation Cyclone: CIA funneled billions via Pakistan’s ISI and Saudi funds to Afghan Mujahideen to fight the USSR. Training & Infrastructure: Camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan created hardened militant networks, including foreign Arab fighters such as Osama bin Laden. Policy Goal: Defeat the Soviets; Washington ignored long-term ideological extremism and regional instability. Post-Soviet Withdrawal & Civil War (1989–1992+) Soviet-backed Afghan government collapsed; Mujahideen factions turned on each other. Kabul shelled daily, public exhausted with lawlessness, corruption, and warlord abuses. Conditions made a “restorer of order” appealing—Taliban filled that vacuum. (Sources: Al Jazeera, Wikipedia, BBC) Rise of the Taliban (1994–1996) Madrassa students from Pakistan (Taliban = “students” in Pashto) promised to restore order and enforce strict Sharia. Benefited from: • Weapons and logistics left from U.S.-funded Mujahideen • Cross-border sanctuaries and supply lines • Training culture and militant ideology seeded by CIA/ISI Pakistan’s Role ISI backed the Taliban as a proxy to secure Afghanistan, counter India, and control trade routes. Provided safe havens, intelligence, and tactical support. U.S. Policy After 2001 & Withdrawal Fallout Taliban overthrown but regrouped in Pakistan. Obama era: U.S. poured resources into Afghan security forces and built massive bases (e.g., Bagram) — infrastructure that would later fall intact to Taliban. Biden era (2021): Rapid withdrawal left U.S. bases, Black Hawks, advanced rifles, vehicles, and equipment. Taliban quickly captured and showcased these assets. Funding: Reports indicate billions of U.S. taxpayer money flowed indirectly into Taliban-controlled systems via Afghan government structures, local taxes, and diverted aid. SIGAR audits document this. Strategic Context — Perpetual Proxy Warfare Iran-Contra precedent: U.S. repeatedly used covert arms-for-cash operations and proxies to destabilize regions while maintaining deniability. Retired Gen. Wesley Clark described a Pentagon memo planning regime-change campaigns in seven countries over five years — illustrating the mindset of using chaos and proxies as tools of power consolidation. Summary — Fact-Based Timeline 1979–1989: U.S. builds and arms Mujahideen to fight Soviets. 1989–1992: Civil war as Soviet exit leaves power vacuum. 1994–1996: Taliban rise using U.S.-enabled infrastructure and ISI support. 2001–2021: U.S. topples Taliban but pours in bases, weapons, and funds; Taliban remain resilient. 2021+: Biden-era withdrawal leaves Taliban with U.S. hardware and access to indirect financial flows. Result: A movement Washington fostered through deliberate policies and decades of funding became a long-term adversary — fully enabled by U.S. actions, proving that destabilization has been an intentional and recurring strategy.

Speaker 0: From Speaker 1: It's happened before. You know Speaker 0: Will it happen again? Speaker 1: It might. Speaker 0: Today, an hour with retired general Wesley Clark. Will you announce for president? Speaker 1: Well, haven't said I won't. Speaker 0: What are you waiting for? Speaker 1: I'm waiting for several different preconditions, which I'm not at liberty to discuss. But I will tell you this. I think about it every single day. Speaker 0: Wesley Clark, on generals who run Iran, the war in Iraq, Israel Palestine impeachment, soldiers who refused to fight cluster bombs, the bombing of radio television Serbia, and was it a war crime, and more coming up. Welcome to democracynow, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. I'm Amy Goodman. At least 17 people have been killed in a storm carrying powerful tornadoes to the South and Midwest. Seven have died in Alabama with another nine deaths reported in Georgia. The army has fired the general in charge of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Major general George Waitman's dismissal comes more than a week into the fallout over the disclosure the army's top medical facility is in a state of major decay. Waitman had headed Walter Reed for only six months. The army's current surgeon general, lieutenant general Kevin Kiley, will serve as a temporary replacement. Kiley is also a former commander of Walter His appointment has raised questions amidst complaints. He was made aware of the problems at Walter Reed more than three years ago, but failed to make any improvements. On Capitol Hill, the house judiciary committee has issued subpoenas to four of the eight US attorneys who lost their jobs in a wave of dismissals from the Bush administration. The subpoenas come as part of investigation into whether the attorneys were forced out for political reasons. The house move marks the democrats' first major use of their new subpoena authority. The four prosecutors have been called to appear before a hearing next Tuesday. In Iraq, 18 government workers and soldiers have been kidnapped in what's being called a retaliation to the alleged rape of a Sunni woman by Iraq Shia dominated police. Meanwhile, in Baghdad, US troops are continuing a series of raids in Shiite areas. This is Shiite leader, Sayeda Abbas. Speaker 2: We will demonstrate men, women, and children demanding the withdrawal of the occupiers from Iraq. As long as the occupiers are in Iraq, they will destroy Islam and Iraq. Speaker 3: We will Speaker 2: die. We will give everything we have just for the sake of getting the occupiers to withdraw from Iraq. Speaker 0: Meanwhile, the last major British charity in Iraq has announced it's pulled out its entire staff and ended its presence there. Save the Children UK had been in Iraq since the first Gulf War. The group says the security situation has made it impossible to continue operations. Save the Children says it can't protect staff members nor reach the Iraqi children it wants to help. The Pakistani government says it's arrested a former Taliban defense minister and key insurgent leader. The man Mullah Obadela would be the most senior Taliban member to be captured since the US invasion of Afghanistan. The arrest comes amid new tensions over Bush administration's call on Pakistan to crack down on a Qaeda figures. On Thursday, Pakistan's US ambassador, Mahmoud Ali Dharani, was asked if increasing pressure and threatened aid cuts could bring down Pakistani president general Pravesh Musharraf. Speaker 3: No. Possibly. It could bring him down. It could destabilize the whole country. It it could cause a mega problem there. That is possible. Speaker 0: Back in The United States, the house has passed a bill that would make it easier for workers to join unions. The Employee Free Choice Act would stop employers from demanding secret ballot elections and require them to recognize unions if a majority of workers consented. President Bush has promised to veto the bill, while senate Republicans say they'll filibuster. President Bush paid a visit to the Gulf Coast Thursday visiting towns in Louisiana and Mississippi. It was his first trip to areas hit by hurricane Katrina in six months. The Pentagon's announced David Hicks will be the first Guantanamo prisoner tried under the new US law authorizing military trials of alleged enemy combatants. Hicks is an Australian citizen accused of helping the Taliban fight US troops in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, there is more news from the Jose Padilla hearings. Military prosecutors are claiming a video recording of Padilla's last interrogation at a US Navy brig in South Carolina has been lost. Defense lawyers had requested the video in an effort to prove Padilla's harsh treatment and confinement has helped cause serious psychological damage, making him unfit for trial. A judge rejected the defense argument Wednesday. A trial is set to begin in two weeks. A new poll from the New York Times and CBS News shows continued support in this country for universal health care. 55% of Americans say universal access to health insurance is the nation's top domestic priority. 60% say they would pay more taxes if that would mean guaranteed insurance for everyone. 80% say granting universal access is more important than extending president Bush's tax cuts. In Argentina, president Nestor Kirchner has announced his government will reject any involvement of the international monetary fund in Argentina's debt payment. Kirchner made the comments during his state of the union address. Speaker 4: In the Paris club, they tell us, you must have an agreement with the international monetary fund to be able to pay the debt. We say to them, sirs, we are sovereign. We want to pay the debt, but no way in hell are we going to make an agreement again with the IMF. Speaker 0: The IMF helped push through a series of economic policies that many believe helped bring Argentina's economy to collapse in 02/2001. The Bush administration is vowing to continue with its controversial missile defense system in Eastern Europe regardless of approval from NATO allies. Under the plan, Poland would host a battery of up to 10 ballistic missiles while The Czech Republic would host a radar facility. The proposals have set off protests across Europe. On Thursday, missile defense agency director, lieutenant general Henry Obering, said The US has other alternatives if current plans are rejected. Speaker 5: Certainly, he's still talking to the to The United Kingdom, But but but The Czech Republic and Poland are the optimum locations for this. So if for some reason and we believe we have every reason to believe that those those discussions will be successful, but if some reason they're not, there are other alternatives that we could go to, but they're not the optimum. Speaker 0: In Lebanon, a Belgian physician who survived a lengthy kidnapping in Lebanon two decades ago has returned to bring attention to the effects of Israel's use of cluster bombs. The doctor, Jan Koules, spent thirteen months in captivity beginning in 1988. On Thursday, Kools called for a cluster bomb ban and said Israel should compensate Lebanon for dropping hundreds of thousands of cluster bomblets during its attack last year. Speaker 3: I think that it is a good thing that the mines will be cleared. Nobody would argue with that, and the Belgians are quite good at doing that. And the question can be asked, who is going to pay for Speaker 4: all this? This is one Speaker 1: of the claims that we put forward. Speaker 3: We think that it is up to the Israelis to pay for the cost of clearing the cluster bombs. We can also ask Israel to pay for the money to reconstruct Lebanon. The Speaker 0: Iranian government has announced president Mahmoud Aminin Ajad will visit Saudi Arabia Saturday for a rare meeting with king Abdullah. It'll be Ahmadinejad's first state visit to Saudi Arabia amid a time of increasing tensions with The United States. Meanwhile, in Madrid Thursday, Iranian foreign minister Manoukr Mataki renewed calls for negotiations. Speaker 4: We should be allowed back to the negotiating table to put forward our arguments before the media and the people. The US reasoning that they can have nuclear weapons and others can't have nuclear energy is not valid. Speaker 0: And finally, former Republican congress member Bob Nay has reported to prison to begin a thirty month sentence. Nay was convicted for lying about his dealings with convicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. For years, Nay traded his political influence for gifts, vacations, campaign contributions, and in one case, $50,000 in gambling chips. He'll serve his jail term in a minimum security prison in West Virginia. And those are some of the headlines. This is democracynowdemocracynow.org, the war and peace report. I'm Amy Goodman. Today, an exclusive hour with general Wesley Clark, the retired four star general. He was supreme allied commander of NATO during the Kosovo war. He's been awarded the presidential medal of freedom. In 02/2004, he unsuccessfully ran for the democratic presidential nomination. He recently edited a series of books about famous US generals, including Dwight Eisenhower and Ulysses Grant, both of whom became president after their military careers ended. On Tuesday, I interviewed Wesley Clark at the ninety second Street wide Cultural Center here in New York City before a live audience and asked him about his presidential ambitions. What do you think of these generals who run for president? I like them. Speaker 1: It's happened before. You know Speaker 0: Will it happen again? It might. Later in the interview, I followed up on that question. Will you announce for president? Speaker 1: Well, I haven't said I won't. Speaker 0: What are you waiting for? Speaker 1: I'm waiting for several different preconditions, which I'm not at liberty to discuss. But I will tell you this. I think about it every single day. Speaker 0: Well, for the rest of the hour, we'll hear general Wesley Clark in his own words on the possibility of a US attack on Iran, the impeachment of president Bush, the use of cluster bombs, the bombing of radio television Serbia during the Kosovo war under his command, and much more. I interviewed general Clark on Tuesday at the 90 Second Street Y in New York. Now let's talk about Iran. You have a whole website devoted to stopping war. Speaker 1: Www.stopiranwar.com. Speaker 0: Do you see a replay of what happened in the lead up to the war with Iraq? The allegations of the weapons of mass destruction, the media leaping on to the bandwagon. Speaker 1: Well, in a way, but but but it's but, you know, history doesn't repeat itself exactly twice. What I did warn about when I testified in front of congress in 02/2002, I said, if you want to worry about a state, it shouldn't be Iraq. It should be Iran. But this government, our administration, wanted to worry about Iraq, not Iran. I I knew why. Because I'd been through the Pentagon. Right after 09:11, about ten days after 09:11, went through the Pentagon and I saw secretary Rumsfeld and and deputy secretary Wolferwitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the joint staff who used used to work for me. And one of the generals called me and he said, sir, you gotta come in you gotta come in and talk to me a second. I said, well, you're too busy. He said, no. No. He says, you we've made the decision. We're going to war with Iraq. This was on or about the September 20. I said, we're going to war with Iraq. Why? He said, I don't know. He said, I guess they don't know what else to do. So I said, well, did they find some information collect connecting Saddam to Al Qaeda? He said, no. No. He says there's nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq. He said, I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists, but we've got a good military and we can take down governments. And he said, I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail. So I came back to see him a few weeks later. And by that time, we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? And he said, oh, it's worse than that. He said he reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. He said, I just he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the secretary of defense's office today. And he said, this is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran. I said, is it classified? He said, yes, sir. I said I said, well, don't show it to me. And I saw him a year or so ago. And I said, do remember that? He said, sir, I didn't show you that memo. I didn't show it to you. Speaker 0: I'm sorry. What did you say his name was? Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give you his name. Speaker 0: So go through the countries again. Speaker 1: Well, starting with Iraq, then Syria and Lebanon, then Libya, then Somalia and Sudan, and then back to Iran. So when you look at Iran, you say, is it a a replay? It's not exactly a replay. But here's the truth, that Iran from the beginning has seen that the presence of The United States in Iraq was a threat, a blessing because we took out Saddam Hussein and the Ba'athists. They couldn't handle them. We could took care of it for them. But also a threat because they knew that they were next on the hit list. And so, of course, they got engaged. They lost a million people during the war with Iraq. And they got a long and unprotectable, unsecurable border. So it was in their vital interest to be deeply involved inside Iraq. They tolerated our attacks on the Baathists. They were happy we captured Saddam Hussein. But they're building up their own network of influence. And to cement it, they occasionally give some military assistance and training and advice either directly or indirectly to both the insurgents and to the militias. And in that sense, it's not exactly parallel because there has been, I believe, continuous Iranian engagement. Some of it legitimate. Some of it illegitimate. I mean, you can hardly fault Iran because they're offering to do eye operations for Iraqis who need medical attention. That's not an offense that you can go to war over, perhaps. But it is an effort to gain influence. The administration has stubbornly refused to talk Iran about their perception, in part because they don't want to pay the price with their domestic our U. Domestic political base, the right wing base, but also because they don't want to legitimate a government that they've been trying to overthrow. If you were Iran, you'd probably believe that you were mostly already at war with The United States anyway since we've asserted that their government needs regime change. So and we've asked congress to appropriate $75,000,000 to do it, and we are supporting terrorist groups apparently who are infiltrating and blowing up things inside Iraq Iran. And if we're not doing it, let's put it this way, we're probably cognizant of it and encouraging it. So it's not surprising that we're moving to a point of confrontation crisis with Iran. My point on this is not that the Iranians are good guys, they're not, but that you shouldn't use force except as a last, last, last resort. There is a military option, but it's a bad one. Speaker 0: I wanted to get your response to Seymour Hirsch's piece in The New Yorker to two key points this week. Reporting the Pentagon's established a special planning group within the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to plan a bomb bombing attack on Iran, that this is coming as the Bush administration and Saudi Arabia are pumping money for covert operations into many areas of the Middle East, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran in an effort to strengthen Saudi supported Sunni Islam groups and weaken Iranian backed Shias. Some of the covert money has been given to jihadist groups in Lebanon with ties to Al Qaeda. Fighting the Shias by funding with Prince Bandar and then with US money not approved by Congress funding the Sunnis connected to Al Qaeda? Speaker 1: Well, I don't have any direct information to confirm it or deny it. It it's certainly plausible. The Saudis have taken a more active role. You know, the the Saudis Speaker 0: You were just in Saudi Arabia? Mhmm. You just came back Speaker 1: from Saudi Arabia? The Saudis have basically recognized that they have an enormous stake in the outcome in Iraq, and they don't particularly trust the judgment of The United States in this area. We haven't exactly proved our competence in Iraq. So they're trying to take matters into their own hands. The real danger is, and one of the reasons this is so complicated, is because let's say we did follow the desires of some people who say, just pull out and pull out now. Well, yeah, we we could mechanically do that. It would be ugly and it might take three or four months, but you could line up the battalions on the road one by one, and you could put the gunners and the Humvees and cock load and cock their weapons and shoot their way out of Iraq. You'd have a few roadside bombs, but if you line everybody up, there won't be any roadside bombs, maybe some sniping. You can fly helicopters over, do your air cover. You probably get safely out of there. But when you leave, the Saudis have gotta find someone to fight the Shias. Who are they gonna find? Al Qaeda. Because the groups of Sunnis who would be extremist and willing to fight would probably be the groups connected to Al Qaeda. So one of the weird inconsistencies in this is that were we to get out early, we'd be intensifying the threat against us of a super powerful Sunni extremist group which was now legitimated by overt Saudi funding in an effort to hang on to a a toehold inside Iraq and block Iranian expansionism. Speaker 0: And interestingly today, John Negroponte has just become the number two man, resigning his post as national intelligence director, to go to the State Department. Seymour Hirsch says because of his discomfort that the administration's covert actions in The Middle East so closely echo the Iran Contra scandal of the nineteen eighties and Negra Ponte was involved with that. Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure there are lot of reasons why John would go back to the State Department. John's a good he's a good man. But, you know, the question is in government is can you are you bigger than your job? Because if you're not bigger than your job, you get trapped by the pressures of events and processes into going along with actions that you know you shouldn't. And I don't know. I don't know why he left the national intelligence director's position. He started in the State Department. Maybe he's got a fondness to return and finish off his career in state. Speaker 0: Can you talk about do you know who the generals are who are threatening to resign Speaker 1: No. I don't. If No. Speaker 0: The United States And I Speaker 1: don't want know. Speaker 0: Do you agree with them? Speaker 1: Well, I'll put it this way. In on Labor Day weekend of nineteen ninety four, when I was the J five, I was a three star general. I was in the Pentagon, and and it was a Saturday morning. And so I was in the Walt Cross was the director of the joint staff and he was in the office. Think it was either Hal Elestis or Jack Sheehan who was the J-three at the time. The three of us, I think it was Jack still in the job for the last couple of days. And the three of us were in Shali Kashvili's office about 11:00 in the morning on a Saturday morning, and he had just come back from a White House meeting. And he was all fired up and the way that Shali could be. And he said, so, he said, we will see who will be the real soldiers this weekend. There is much work to be done. This operation on Haiti has to be completed. The planning must be done correctly, and it must be done this weekend so we will see who are the real soldiers. And then the phone buzzed, and he got up from this little roundtable the four of us were sitting at to take the call from the White House. We sort of looked at each other. We said, gosh, I wonder where this came from. I mean, we were all getting ready to check out of the building in an hour or so. We finished off the messages and paperwork, and we just usually got together because there was normally a crisis every Saturday anyway. So we normally would come in for the Saturday morning crisis. And so Charlie came back, and and and so I said to him, I said, well, sir, we've been talking amongst ourselves and we're happy to work all weekend to get all this done. But this is just a drill, right, on Haiti? He looked at me and he said, Wes, he said, this is no drill. He said, I'm not authorized to tell you this. But he said, the decision has been made and The United States will invade Haiti. The date is the twentieth, I think it was his date, of the September 20. And the planning must be done, and it must be done now. And if any of you have reservations about this, this is the time to leave. So I looked at at Jack and I looked at Walt. They looked at me. And I mean, we kind of shrugged our shoulders and said, okay, if you want to invade Haiti, I mean, it's not illegal. It's not the country we'd most like to invade. The opposition there consists of five armored vehicles. And but sure. I mean, if the president says to do it, yeah, we're not gonna resign over it. And so we didn't resign. Nobody resigned. But Charlie was a very smart man. He knew. He was bigger than his job and he knew that you had to ask yourself the moral, legal, and ethical questions first. And so I'm encouraged by the fact that some of these generals have said this about Iran. They should be asking these questions first. Speaker 0: General Wesley Clark, he says he thinks about running for president again every day. We'll come back to my interview with him in a minute. Speaker 6: One, and he's only 17. He's been a soldier for a thousand years. He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jew. And he knows he shouldn't kill, and he knows he Speaker 3: always will kill you. For me, Speaker 6: my friend, and me for you. And he's fighting for Canada. He's fighting for France. He's fighting for The USA. And he's fighting for the Russians, and he's fighting for Japan. And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way. He's fighting for democracy if he Speaker 0: Buffy St. Marie, Universal here on democracynow, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. I'm Amy Goodman as we go back to my interview with general Wesley Clark. What about the soldiers who are saying no to going to Iraq right now? Iraq? To going to Iraq. People like first lieutenant Aaron Wattada, first commissioned officer to say no to deploy. And he they just declared a mistrial. And as court marshal, he will face another court marshal in a few weeks. What do you think of these young men and women? There are now thousands who are refusing. But for example, Aaron Wattata, who says he feels it's wrong. He feels it's illegal and immoral, and he doesn't want to lead men and women there. Speaker 1: Well, I think it's you know, he's certainly made a personally courageous statement, and he'll pay for the con he'll pay with the consequences of it. Speaker 0: Do you think he should have to go to jail for that? Speaker 1: Well, I think that you have to have an effective armed forces. And I think that it's not up to the men and women in the armed forces to choose where they'll go to war. Because at the very time you need the armed forces the most is there'll be a certain number of people who will see it the other way. And so I support his right to refuse to go, and I support the government's effort to bring charges against him. This is the way the system works. Now, the difference is the case that I described with Charlie Kashpile is we would have been given the chance to retire. We would have left our jobs. We might not have retired as three star generals because we hadn't done our duty. But we weren't in the same circumstance that he is, so there wasn't necessarily going to be charges brought against us. But an armed forces has to have discipline. It's not a it's a voluntary organization to join, but it's not voluntary unless it's illegal. And you can bring the the the trouble with Iraq is it's not illegal. It was authorized by the United States Congress. It was authorized by the United Nations Security Council resolution. It's an illegitimate war, but not an illegal war. Speaker 0: Do you think it's wrong? Speaker 1: It's wrong to fight in Iraq? Well, think it's a mistake. I think it's a bad strategy. I think it's brought us a lot of grief and will bring us a lot more grief. I think it's been a tremendous distraction from the war on terror, diversion of resources, and it's reinforced our enemies. But on the other hand, his case is a moral case, not a legal case. And if you're going to be a conscientious objector morally like this, then what makes it commendable is that you'll take your stand on principle and pay the price. If there's no price to be paid for it, then the courage of your act isn't self evident. So he's taken a very personally courageous stand. But on the other hand, you have to also appreciate the fact that the armed forces has to be able to function. So, you know, in World War I in France, there were a series of terribly misplaced offensives. And they brought they failed again and again and again. The French took incredible losses. And these were these were conscript armies. And after one of these failures, a group of thousands of soldiers simply said, we're not doing this again. It's wrong. You know what the French did? They did what they called decimation. They lined up the troops. They took every tenth soldier, and they shot them. Now the general who ordered that, he suffered some severe repercussions personally, morally. But after that, the soldiers in France didn't disobey. Had the army disintegrated at that point, Germany would have occupied France. So when you're dealing with the use of force, there is an element of compulsion in the armed forces. Speaker 0: But if the politicians will not stop it, as you pointed out, the Democrats joined with the Republicans in authorizing the war, then it's quite significant, I think, that you, as a general, are saying that this man has taken a courageous act. Then it's up to the people who are being sent to go to say no. Speaker 1: Yeah. But what the courage that we need is not his courage. We need the courage of the leaders in the United States government. The generals who could affect the policy, the people in congress who could force the president to change his strategy Speaker 0: How could they Speaker 1: do that? The current. That's the courage that's needed. Speaker 0: And how could they do that? Speaker 1: Well, you start with a nonbinding resolution in the United States congress and you build your momentum from there. And you keep hammering it. You you the congress has three principal powers. It has a power to appoint, power to investigate, power to fund. And you go after all three on all three fronts. You find out what the president needs until he takes it seriously. I think it's a difficult maneuver to to use a scalpel and say, we're we're gonna support funding, but we're not gonna support funding for the surge because that's requiring a degree of micromanagement that congress can't do. But you can certainly put enough squeeze on the president that he finally calls in the leaders of the congress and says, okay. Okay. What's it gonna take? I've gotta get my White House budget passed. I've gotta get 30 judges, federal judges confirmed. I've gotta get these these federal prosecutors, you know, the ones that I caused to resign so I could handle it. They've got to get replacements in place. What do I have to do to to get some support here? I mean, it could be done. It's hard, bare knuckle government. Speaker 0: Do you think congress should stop funding the war? Speaker 1: I think congress should take a strong stand to get the strategy changed. I don't think that if you cut off funding for the war, it's in the right now, that's not in The United States' interest. What is in The United States' interest is to change the strategy in the war. You cannot succeed by simply stopping the funding and saying you've got six months to get the Americans out. That's not gonna end the misery in Iraq. It's not gonna restore the lives of that have been lost, and it's not gonna give us the power in the region to prevent later threats. What we do have to do is have a strategy that uses all the elements of America's power, diplomatic, economic, legal, and and military. I would send a high level diplomatic team into the region. Right now, I'd have no holds barred and no preconditioned discussion with Iran and Syria. And I would let it be known that I've got in my bag all the tricks including putting another 50,000 troops in Iraq and pulling all 150,000 troops out. And we're going to reach an agreement on a statement of principles that brings stability and peace and order to the region. Let's just sit down and start doing it. That could be done with the right administrative leadership. It just hasn't been done. Think of it this way. You're on a ship crossing the Atlantic. It's a new ship and it's at night. And you're looking out ahead of the ship, and you notice that there's a part of the horizon. It's a beautiful starry night, except that there's a part of the horizon and sort of irregular hump out there where there are no stars visible. And you notice as the ship plows through the water at 30 knots that this area where there are no stars is getting larger. And finally it hits you that there must be something out there that's blocking the starlight, like an iceberg. So you run to the captain and you say, captain, captain, there's an iceberg and we're driving right toward it. And he says, look, I can't be bothered with the iceberg right now. We're having an argument about the number of deck chairs on the fore deck versus the aft deck. And and you say, but you're gonna hit an iceberg. He says, I'm sorry. Get out of here. So you go to the first officer, and he says, I'm fighting with the captain on the number of deck chairs. You know, we're approaching an iceberg in The Middle East in our policy. And we've got congress and The United States and the president of The United States fighting over troop strength in Iraq. It's the wrong issue. The issue is the strategy, not the troop strength. Speaker 0: General Clark, do you think Guantanamo Bay should be closed? Speaker 1: Absolutely. If Speaker 0: congress cut off funds for the prison there, it would be closed, should they? Speaker 1: Well, I think the first thing congress should do is repeal the Military Commissions Act. I'm very disturbed that a number of people who are looking at the highest office in the land have supported an act which advertently or inadvertently authorizes the admission into evidence of information gained through torture. That's not the America that I believe in. And the America that I believe in doesn't detain people indefinitely without charges. So I'd start with the military commissions act. Then I'd get our NATO allies into the act. They they they've said they don't like Guantanamo either. So I'd like to create an international tribunal, not a kangaroo court of military commissions, and let's go back through the evidence and let's lay it out. Who are these people that have been held down there? And what have they been held for? And which ones can be released? And which ones should be tried in court and convicted? You see, essentially, you cannot win the war on terror by military force. It is first and foremost a battle of ideas. It is secondly a a law enforcement effort, a cooperative effort among nations. And only as a last resort do you use military force. This president has distorted the capabilities of the United States Armed Forces. He's used our men and women in uniform improperly in Guantanamo and engaged in actions that I think are totally against the uniform code of military justice and against what we stand for as the American people. Speaker 0: Do you think that president Bush should be impeached? Well, Speaker 1: I think we ought to do first things first, which is we really need to understand and finish the job that congress started with respect to the Iraq war investigation. We were do you remember that there was gonna be a study released by the senate, that the senator from Iowa or from Kansas who was the Republican head of the senate intelligence committee, was going to, do this study to determine whether the administration had in fact misused the intelligence information to mislead us into the war with Iraq. Well, I've never seen that study. I'd like to know where that study is. I'd like to know why we've spent three years investigating Scooter Libby when we should have been investigating why this country went to war in Iraq. The Speaker 0: the Center for Constitutional Rights has filed a complaint against Donald Rumsfeld, General Miller and others in a German court because they have universal jurisdiction. Do you think that Donald Rumsfeld should be tried for war crimes? Speaker 1: Well, I'd like to see what the evidence is against Rumsfeld. I do know this, that there was a lot of pressure put on the men and women in uniform to come up with intelligence. I remember, I think it was either General Sanchez or General Abizaid who stated that we don't need more troops. This is the 2003. We just need better information. Well, to me that was immediate code words that we were really trying to soak these people for information. It's only a short step from there to all the kinds of mistreatment that occur at places like Abu Ghraib. So we know that Al Gonzalez wrote a couple of really or authored or his people authored and he approved a couple of outrageous memos that attempted to define torture as deliberately inflicted pain the equivalent of the loss of a major bodily organ or limb, which is it's not an adequate definition of torture. And we know that he authorized to some degree some coercive methods which we haven't. And we know president Bush himself accepted implicitly an assigning statement to a 2,005 act on military detainees that he would use whatever methods were appropriate or necessary. There's been some official condoning of these actions. I think it's a violation of international law and a violation of American law and a violation of the principles of good government in America. There have always been evidences of mistreatment of prisoners. Every army has probably done it in history. But our country hasn't ever done it as a matter of deliberate policy. George Washington told his soldiers when they captured the Hessians and the men wanted to run them through because the Hessians were brutal and ruthless, He said, no. Treat them well. He said, they'll join our side. And many of them did. It was a smart policy. Not only the right thing to do, but a smart policy to treat the enemy well. We've made countless enemies in that part of the world by the way we've treated people and disregarded them. It's bad, bad policy. Speaker 0: I wanted to ask you're a Fox News contributor now? Speaker 1: Oh, at least. Speaker 0: I wanted to ask you what you think of the dean of West Point, Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan, together with a military interrogator known named Tony Lagranas and the group Human Rights First. Going to the heads of the program 24, very popular hit show on, Fox, to tell them that what they're doing on this program, glorifying torture, is inspiring young men and women to go to Iraq and torture soldiers there and to stop it. Speaker 1: And not only that, but it doesn't work. Yeah. Pat Finnegan is one of my heroes. Speaker 0: So what do you think about that? And have you been involved in the conversation at Fox, which runs 24, to stop it? Speaker 1: Well, as far as I know, they've they actually put out a call to all the writers in Hollywood. My son's a writer, he was one of them who got a call. It it they were all told, stop talking about torture. It doesn't work. So I think it's it was an effective move by Pat Finnegan. Speaker 0: So you support it? Absolutely. General Wesley Clark. I'm interviewing him at the 90 Second Street. Why? We're gonna come back to the conclusion of that interview in a minute. Speaker 6: 19 miles to Baghdad. What have I Speaker 0: democracynowdemocracynow.org, the war and peace report. I'm Amy Goodman. General Wesley Clark recently edited a series of books about famous US generals, Grant, LeMay, Patton, and Eisenhower. When I interviewed him at the 90 Second Street Y, I asked him a question about the presidency of general Dwight Eisenhower. 1953 was also a seminal date for today. And that was when Kermit Roosevelt, the grandson of Teddy Roosevelt, went to Iran and led a coup against Mohammed Mosaddegh under Eisenhower. Speaker 1: People make mistakes. And one of the one of the mistakes that The United States consistently made was that it could intervene and somehow adjust people's governments, especially in the Middle East. I don't know why we felt that you can understand Latin America because Latin America was always an area in which people would come to The United States and say, you've got to help us down there. These are bounditos, and they don't know anything. And, you know, they don't have a government. Just intervene and save our property. And The United States did it a lot in the twenties. Of course, Eisenhower was part of that culture. He'd seen it. But in The Middle East, we'd never been there. We established a relationship during World War two, of course, to keep the Germans out of Iran. And so the Soviets and the Brits put an allied mission together. At the end of World War two, the Soviets didn't want to resign re withdraw. And, Truman called their bluff in the United Nations. And Eisenhower knew all of this, and and and Iran somehow became incorporated into the American defense perimeter. And so, his view would have been we couldn't allow a communist to take over. Speaker 0: But what's it more Speaker 1: about British petroleum? Speaker 0: What isn't it more about British petroleum? Speaker 1: Oh, it's always there are always interests. The truth is about The Middle East is had there been no oil there, it would be like Africa. Nobody is threatening to intervene in Africa. The problem is the opposite. We keep asking for people to intervene and stop it. And there's there's no question that the presence of petroleum throughout the region has sparked great power involvement. Whether that was the specific motivation for the coup or not, I can't tell you. But but there was definitely there's always been this attitude that somehow we could intervene and use force in the region. I mean, that that was true with I mean, imagine us arming and creating the mujahideen to keep the Soviets out of Afghanistan. Why would we think we could do that? But we did. And, you know, my lesson on it is whenever you use force, there are unintended consequences. So you should use force as a last resort. Whether it's overt or covert, you pay enormous consequences for using force. Speaker 0: I wanted to ask you about what you think of the response to Jimmy Carter's book, Peace Not Apartheid. Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry to say I haven't read the book. And it's one of the things I've been meaning to read, and I just haven't. I will tell you this, that we're in a very, very difficult position in Israel. I say we because every American president has committed to the protection and survival of the state of Israel. And I think that's right. And I certainly feel that way. And I'm a very strong supporter of Israel. But somehow we've got to move off top dead center in terms of these discussions with the Palestinians. And this administration has failed to lead. They came into office basically determined not to do anything that Bill Clinton did. I think that was the basic guideline. And so they have allowed unremitting violence between Israel and the Palestinians with hardly an effort to stop that through US leadership. And now it's almost too late. So Condie was over there the other day, and she didn't achieve what she wanted to achieve. And people want to blame the Saudis, but at least the Saudis tried to do something at Mecca by putting together a unity government. So I fault the administration. Jimmy Carter's taken a lot of heat from people. I don't know exactly what he said in the book, but people are very sensitive about Israel in this country. And I understand that. My a lot of my friends have explained it to me and explained to me the psychology of people who were in this country and saw what was happening in World War II, and maybe they didn't feel like they spoke out strongly enough, soon enough to stop it. And it's not gonna happen again. Speaker 0: General Clark, I wanted to ask you a tough question that about journalists. Speaker 1: Well, that would be the first tough question you've asked me tonight. Speaker 0: There are more than a 100 journalists and media workers in Iraq who have died. And particularly hard hit are Arab journalists. I mean, you had Tariq A'yub, the Al Jazeera reporter who died on the roof of Al Jazeera when the US military shelled Al Jazeera, then went on to shell the Palestine hotel and killed two reporters, a Reuters cameraman and one from Tele Cinco in in Spain named Jose Coso. Many Arab journalists feel like they have been targeted, the idea of shooting the messenger. But this tough question goes back to, your being supreme, allied commander in Yugoslavia and the bombing of radio television Serbia. Do you regret that that happened? Speaker 1: No. I don't regret that at all. And that was part of the Serb command and control network. And not only that, I was asked to take out that television by a lot of important political leaders. And before I took it out, I twice warned the Serbs we were gonna take it out. We stopped, at one news conference in the Pentagon. We planted the question to to get the attention of the Serbs that we were gonna target Serb radio and television. Speaker 0: Our Speaker 1: defense. Yeah. And that night, in fact, Milosevic got the warning because he summoned all the foreign journalists to come to a special mandatory party at at at RTS that night. But we weren't bombing that night. We put the word out twice before we actually did it. Speaker 0: You told CNN, which was also there, to leave? Speaker 1: I told I used I think I used CNN to plant the story and to leak it at the Pentagon press conference. But we didn't we didn't tell anyone specifically to leave. What we told them was it's now a target. And it was Milosevic who determined that he would keep people there in the middle of the night just so there'd be someone killed if we struck it. So we struck it during the hours where there were not supposed to be anybody there. Speaker 0: But you killed civilians. Speaker 1: Six people died. Speaker 0: I think 16. But I think it's the media where it's the beauticians, the technicians. Speaker 1: Yeah. They were they were ordered to stay there by Milosevic. Yeah. Speaker 0: But it was a civilian target. Speaker 1: It was not a civilian target. It was a military target. It was part of the Serb command and control network. Speaker 0: What do you think of Amnesty International calling it a war crime? Speaker 1: Well, I think it was investigated by the criminal tribunal on Yugoslavia and found to be a legitimate target. So I think it's perfectly alright for Amnesty International to have their say. But everything we did was approved by lawyers, and every target was blessed. Speaker 0: But upon reflection not Speaker 1: have committed a war crime. Speaker 0: Upon reflection now and knowing who died there, the young people, the people who worked for RTS, who, as you said, if Milosevic wanted people to stay there, they were just following orders? Speaker 1: Well, it was a tragedy. But I'll tell you something. If you wanna talk about tragedies, how about this one? We bombed what we thought was a Serb police station in Kosovo. We saw the Serb vehicles. We flew unmanned aerial vehicles over it, and and we did everything we could to identify it. And we found that there were Serb police vehicles parked there at night. So we sent an f 16 in, dropped two five hundred pound laser guided bombs, and took it out. We killed 80 Albanians who'd been imprisoned by the Serbs there. They were trying to escape, and the Serbs locked them up in this farmhouse and surrounded them with vehicles. So, I regret every single innocent person who died, and I prayed every night that there wouldn't be any innocent people who died. But this is why I say you must use force only as a last resort. I told the story to the high school kids earlier, but it bears repeating, I guess. We had a malfunction with a cluster bomb unit, and a couple of grenades fell on a schoolyard. And some three, I think, three schoolchildren were killed in Nis. And two weeks later, I got a letter from a Serb grandfather. He said, you killed my granddaughter. He said, I hate you for this, and I'll kill you. And, I got this in the middle of the war, and it made me very, very sad. We certainly never wanted to do anything like that. But in war, accidents happen. And that's why you shouldn't undertake military operations unless every other alternative has been exhausted because innocent people do die. And, I think the United States military was as humane and careful as it possibly could have been in the Kosovo campaign. But still civilians died. And I'll always regret that. Speaker 0: Do you think cluster bombs should be banned? Speaker 1: You know, we used, I think, 1,400 plus cluster bombs. And there's a time when you have to use cluster bombs, when they're the most appropriate and humane weapon. But I think you have to control the use very carefully. And I think we did in Yugoslavia. Speaker 0: Right now, The US has rejected an international call to ban the use of cluster bombs. On Friday, 46 countries were in Oslo to develop a new international treaty to ban the use of cluster munitions by, I think it's 02/2008. Would you support that? Speaker 1: Well, you know, people who are against war often make the case by trying to attack the weapons of war and stripping away the legitimacy of those weapons. I participated in some of that. I'd like to get rid of landmines. I did I did participate in getting rid of laser blinding weapons, and I was part of the team that put together the agreement that got rid of laser blinding weapons. I like to get rid of nuclear weapons. But I can't agree with those who say that force has no place in international affairs. It simply does for this country. And I would like to work to make it so that it doesn't. But the truth is, for now, it does. And so I can't go against giving our men and women in uniform the appropriate weapons they need to fight, to fight effectively, to succeed on the battlefield, and to minimize their own casualties. Speaker 3: Well, we'll have to leave it there. Speaker 0: I thank you very much, general Wesley Clark. Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Speaker 0: General Wesley Clark. I interviewed him at the 90 Second Street Y, the cultural center here in New York on the publication of the great general series and Grant, LeMay, Patton, and Eisenhower.

🧵 3. Afghan Mujahideen — How U.S. Policy Created a Militarized | Proxy Ecosystem President Ronald Reagan's Remarks and Chairman Yunis Khalis Remarks Following a Meeting With Afghan Resistance Leaders and Members of Congress in Roosevelt Room Origin: 1979–1989 (Soviet–Afghan War) U.S. role: Direct CIA funding, weapons transfers (including FIM-92 Stinger missiles), training, and covert programs routed through Pakistan’s ISI and Gulf partners. These were explicit, long-running policy choices intended to arm Afghan resistance against the USSR. Outcome: A heavily armed, politically fragmented insurgent ecosystem that later reconstituted into multiple militant actors (including groups that later joined or inspired Islamist movements and insurgencies). The mujahideen era created the weapons, logistics, cross-border sanctuaries, and combat culture that ruined Afghan state institutions and normalized militant proxy warfare. The policy: a presidential finding and Operation Cyclone • Fact: On 3 July 1979 a presidential finding authorized CIA support for Afghan insurgents. This began a formal, state policy of covert support. • Fact: The CIA’s covert program, commonly called Operation Cyclone (1979–1992), became one of the longest and most expensive covert actions in CIA history — explicitly to arm and finance the mujahideen. • Intent: The program’s declared aim was to “bleed” Soviet influence by sustaining Afghan resistance. That was the objective policymakers signed off on — not vague assistance but overt proxy warcraft. Money and materiel at scale • Fact: U.S. funding rose from under $1 million in 1979 to hundreds of millions per year in the mid-1980s; estimates show hundreds of millions to over half a billion per year at peak. The U.S., Saudi Arabia and Pakistan together channeled billions into the conflict. • Fact: By 1986 the U.S. provided high-tech weaponry such as the FIM-92 Stinger man-portable air-defense system; roughly 2,300 Stingers were shipped or transferred into the theater over the course of the program. Stingers decisively altered battlefield dynamics by neutralizing Soviet rotary and fixed-wing air superiority. The Pakistan conduit and selection of proxies • Fact: U.S. aid was routed through Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Pakistan’s ISI chose which Afghan commanders and factions received the lion’s share of support. • Effect: The ISI’s choices favored Islamist factions close to Zia-ul-Haq’s regime; crates, training and safe havens were allocated to groups that fit Pakistani strategic preferences, producing uneven empowerment among rebel factions. Training, networks and foreign volunteers • Fact: The covert effort built training camps, logistics pipelines, and cross-border sanctuaries on both sides of the Durand Line; these facilities trained Afghans and hosted foreign volunteers (Arab and other international fighters), creating transnational militant networks. (Field histories; Steve Coll; Peter Bergen) • Effect: The region’s militancy became transnational — fighters, ideas and tactics flowed from Afghan battlefields to other conflicts afterward. Tactical consequences — militarization and fragmentation • Fact: The flood of weapons and irregular training produced a heavily militarized society and empowered local warlords and factional leaders after the Soviet withdrawal. When Moscow left, those armed groups fought each other for control, shelling Kabul and destroying centralized governance. (Post-1989 Afghan civil war records) • Effect: A fractured polity and debilitated institutions made sustainable governance impossible and normalized the use of armed irregulars as political instruments. Not accidental blowback — a predictable result of explicit policy choices • Fact: U.S. policy makers explicitly prioritized defeating the Soviets using covert means — routing funds through Pakistan, arming ideologically committed factions, and supplying advanced systems (e.g., Stingers). These were deliberate, strategic decisions. • Fact: Numerous contemporaneous and retrospective observers (Pakistani leaders, U.S. diplomats, scholars) warned the U.S. about long-term risks; yet funding and transfers continued at scale. That sequence — intentional armament + choice of proxies + disregard for long-term stability — produced predictable outcomes that were foreseeable to policymakers. Legacy — why “ending terror” was never possible under this model • Fact: The mujahideen period institutionalized proxy war: permanent networks of fighters, caches of sophisticated weapons, madrassa recruitment pipelines and cross-border sanctuaries. These durable structures made periodic emergence of militant groups inevitable. (Historical analyses; Steve Coll; academic reviews) • Conclusion from the record (fact-based): When state policy deliberately builds militant capacity abroad for short-term geopolitical aims, it creates persistent militant ecosystems that are hard to extinguish — sustained violence becomes the default outcome, not an unforeseen accident. Considering that the US has continued to heavily fund these militant groups, it's clear that this is a deliberate M.O.

Speaker 0: Well, we've just held a very useful, and I might say brief, but also I will add a very moving discussion with chairman Eunice Khalis of the Islamic Union of Mujahideen of Afghanistan and other members of his distinguished delegation. I expressed our nation's continued strong support for the resistance and our satisfaction with the large step the Afghan resistance took toward unity in choosing a chairman for the first time. This new political milestone demonstrates that the people of Afghanistan speak with one voice in their opposition to the Soviet invasion and occupation of their homeland. This increasing unity has already made itself felt on the battlefield. During the past eighteen months, the mujahideen fighting inside the country have improved their weapons, tactics, and coordination. The result has been a a string of serious defeats for the Soviet elite units as well as many divisions from the Kabul army. Chairman Collies and his delegation are visiting Washington following the November 10 UN General Assembly vote, which, with a record vote once again, called overwhelmingly for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Afghanistan. This is the eighth time since the December that the general assembly has decisively called upon the Soviet Union to pull its forces out of Afghanistan. And let there be no mistake about it, the withdrawal of Soviet forces is the key to resolving the Afghan crisis. Our other issues that have been raised to divert attention from this fact only extend the combat and prolong the suffering of the Afghan people. General secretary Gorbachev has publicly stated a Soviet readiness to withdraw. Both in April and September 1987, I asked the Soviet Union to set a date this year when that withdrawal would begin. I also stated that when the Soviet Union showed convincingly that it was ready for a genuine political settlement, The United States would be helpful. After all, the Soviet presence in Afghanistan is a major impediment to improve US Soviet relations, and we would like to remove it. The Soviets should want to do so as well. Unfortunately, the Soviet answer on a date for rapid withdrawal has been silence. Instead, we've seen the Kabul regime announce a phantom ceasefire and propose a transitional government, one that would leave this discredited and doomed group in control. These gambits have been rejected by the only voice that really counts, that of the Afghan people speaking through their resistance representatives. Any proposal unacceptable to the resistance is destined to fail. And as the resistance continues the fight, we and other responsible governments will stand by it. The support that The United States has been providing the resistance will be strengthened rather than diminished so that it can continue to fight effectively for freedom. A just struggle against foreign tyranny can count upon worldwide support, both political and material. The goal of The United States remains a genuinely independent Afghanistan, free from external interference, an Afghanistan whose people choose the type of government they wish, an Afghanistan to which the 4,000,000 refugees from Soviet aggression may return in safety and, yes, in honor. On behalf of the American people, I salute chairman Kalis, his delegation, and the people of Afghanistan themselves. You are a nation of heroes. Speaker 1: In the name of God, merciful and compassionate. As far as the Afghan problem is concerned, the president has shed light on some important points. I have no doubt that The US promises of support and commitment to the Afghan cause will be honored in the future as it has been in the past. I'm grateful for the opportunity to express the voice of the Afghan people to the world. This is an important opportunity for us. In Afghanistan, we have have more than 1,000,000 martyrs, and many children have been killed. Villages have been destroyed, and the war continues and intensifies. In the face of these sacrifices or these costs, we have continued our resistance, and we shall continue to do so. We the morale of our resistance is very high, and we shall continue with our struggle. Although the United Nations overwhelmingly has called for the withdrawal of the Soviet troops, unconditional withdrawal of Soviet troops, but the Soviets have continued the war, and this war, in our view, is likely to continue. In our view, the struggle in Afghanistan is not only for Afghanistan. The Soviets are using Afghanistan as a base for training their forces and using their weapons, but they also would like to use Afghanistan, should they be victorious, as a base from which they will threaten the Persian Gulf, the Middle East, and western interests in general. This is therefore an issue that involves not only the Afghans but the rest of the world, especially those who are seeking peace. As a result, it's important that these countries, we should continue their humanitarian and other support for the Afghan resistance and, in fact, should increase it. In Afghanistan, it's only the Afghan people that should determine the future government. We do not accept any right on this issue and do not accept interference by anyone as far as this issue is concerned. The world should rest assured that no matter what kind of regime the Afghans establish out of their own free will, that regime will not threaten anyone's interest and shall observe all international laws and live in peace with all its neighbors. And once again, want to reiterate that our struggle shall continue until the Soviets leave Afghanistan and until a government that the Afghans accept comes to power. We do not accept the preferences of others as far as our government is concerned. But we also would like to point out that we would like increased political support and recognition for our movement consistent with increased military achievements that we have on the battlefield. And then I'd like to call on the on the press to give adequate and and and correct information and analysis of what goes on in Afghanistan. That was the last point that the the chairman wants.

The Origin of Terror🧵 4. ISIS / ISIL — How U.S. & zionist Policy Created a Global Terror Machine Origin: Early 2000s — grew from post-2003 Iraq insurgency; exploded during the Syrian civil war (2011+). Key Point: ISIS didn’t emerge spontaneously. It was deliberately cultivated by U.S. foreign policy aligned with zionist strategic goals — destabilizing the Middle East, consolidating power, and controlling enemies of israel. This was a calculated move to reshape the region in israel’s favor, leveraging chaos as a tool for dominance while arming terrorist cells to attack countries that resist zionist control. Netanyahu once accused the Saudis of sending Gaza money for influence over Hamas. Every accusation with Netanyahu is a confession; he did as well. Immediate Causes (Documented Facts): zionist-Planned Invasion (2003): PNAC, a zionist neocon think tank, mapped Iraq’s invasion in 1998. Goal: not just oil — destabilize the region to protect israel, reshape power dynamics, and justify perpetual U.S. presence. PNAC’s founders, including Wolfowitz and Feith, were dual israeli-U.S. citizens with deep ties to the israeli military. Sectarian Governance: U.S.-installed Iraqi government, influenced by zionist advisors like Ahmed Chalabi, systematically marginalized Sunnis — grievances that ISIS exploited. Chalabi, an Iraqi exile with ties to israeli intelligence, played a key role in shaping U.S. policy. Al-Qaeda in Iraq: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s network, armed and trained via CIA remnants from Operation Cyclone, became ISIS’s operational core. Zarqawi’s fighters were initially backed by the CIA to destabilize Syria and Iran. Syrian Civil War (2011+): zionist-backed “regime change” efforts created safe havens for ISIS, HTS, and other jihadi factions. israel openly supported these groups as “moderate rebels” while bombing Syrian government forces. How ISIS Was Cultivated (Documented): Deliberate Dismantling: Bush-era neocons dissolved Iraqi institutions and army, creating a security vacuum designed to prevent any future Iraqi military challenge to israel. Proxy Wars: zionist-backed forces in Syria — including ex-Al-Qaeda affiliates — funneled weapons, fighters, and resources to ISIS. The CIA’s Operation Timber Sycamore, launched in 2012, supplied billions of dollars in arms to these groups. Financing ISIS: Gulf private donors connected to zionist networks, and international banks (Goldman Sachs, etc.) enabled ISIS access to cash, oil revenue, and smuggling profits. ISIS oil was sold through Turkey, with israeli companies acting as middlemen. Direct Obama-Era Support: Direct ISIS Funding: The Obama Administration knowingly allowed ISIS to sell oil to Turkey, with israeli companies acting as intermediaries. This wasn’t just indirect funding — ISIS directly profited from U.S.-enabled oil sales. Later sanctions were largely symbolic, doing nothing to disrupt the flow of resources. State-Sponsored Terrorism: The Obama Administration greenlit Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s funding of extremist groups that became ISIS, under the guise of “moderate rebel support.” U.S. Training for ISIS: ISIS commanders were trained in Jordan, receiving military skills they later used to expand the caliphate. This was direct U.S. support for ISIS leadership and operational capacity. (Timber Sycamore) Financing ISIS: Gulf private donors connected to zionist networks, and international banks (Goldman Sachs, etc.) enabled ISIS access to cash, oil revenue, and smuggling profits. ISIS oil was sold through Turkey, with israeli companies acting as middlemen. Trump Administration ISIS Oil Sales: Trump failed to stop ISIS from selling oil to Turkey, effectively funding the group. Israeli companies acted as middlemen, ensuring ISIS profited directly from stolen Syrian oil. Even later sanctions were meaningless—what does a “sanction” do to a terrorist group already making millions from illicit sales? Proxy Wars: Trump escalated support for Saudi Arabia and the UAE in Yemen, indirectly funding extremist groups that later merged with ISIS. This allowed ISIS to maintain influence and recruit across the region. Biden Administration Syria Airstrikes: Biden’s 2021 airstrikes targeted “Iran-backed militias” but killed civilians, fueling ISIS recruitment. This was a propaganda victory handed to ISIS and affiliated rebels. Continued Proxy Funding: Biden continued arming Saudi Arabia and the UAE, indirectly sustaining extremist groups tied to ISIS in Yemen. Israeli Involvement (Documented/Reported): Mossad Operations: Leaked intel shows ISIS commanders trained near the Golan Heights. Mossad agents were caught by Russian forces in Syria while evacuating ISIS leaders. Medical Support: israel treated wounded jihadists in its hospitals, including high-ranking ISIS commanders. Strategic Coordination: israeli airstrikes targeted Assad forces, indirectly aiding ISIS and allied militias. israel also provided intelligence to these groups. The Assad Reality: Secular Government: Assad’s secular government protected minorities and resisted zionist-backed regime change. Majority Jihadi Fighters: Most Syrians opposing Assad in conflict zones were jihadi fighters funded and armed by israel and U.S. proxies. Double Standards: When these groups attack Syria, Lebanon, or resist israel — they’re labeled “terrorists.” When zionist networks fund and arm them — they’re called “rebels fighting for freedom.” Same fighters. Different PR. Big Picture: Engineered Chaos: ISIS was engineered, not accidental. Terror is a tool: U.S. & israel use jihadist proxies to weaken anti-zionist regimes, justify endless wars, and expand influence. Media Obfuscation: Western media obscures this, framing Assad as a tyrant and jihadis as “moderates.” Assad’s Resistance: Assad fought these same terror groups that israel funded. His forces have been the primary bulwark against ISIS expansion. Conclusion: ISIS and affiliated jihadi groups are products of zionist-aligned strategy and U.S. intervention. Chaos, terror, and regime destabilization are features, not bugs, of foreign policy. ISIS is not a natural phenomenon but a weapon of war crafted by zionist interests to reshape the Middle East. The next time you hear about “terror attacks,” remember — it’s not just random violence, it’s a calculated tool of zionist power.

Discussion centers on subversion and thwarting plots against the state of Israel and, publicly, what they call the Mossad. It was hard to answer because 'you can't pick up the phone book.' 'There's no, Langley in, in Israel'—so they couldn't simply look up 'CIA or Mossad.' They asked, 'What shall we call it in English?' 'Mossad is institute,' but they wondered, 'when they write a letter to their friends in the CIA or the British intelligence, what do they call themselves?' It took a while, 'a matter of asking the prime minister's spokesman,' since officially 'the Mossad is under the prime minister's office.'

Speaker 0: Them, subversion, trying to foil plots against the state of Israel, political plots, others. You tell the story about how you try to find out what the what they call the Mossad when they deal with, publicly? I thought it was a reasonable question, but the trouble is, you can't pick up the phone book. There's no, Langley in, in Israel, and you can look up, you know, CIA or in our case, the Mossad. We thought we should ask, What shall we call it in English? You can translate the Hebrew words, as I said, Mossad is institute, but when they write a letter to their friends in the CIA or the British intelligence, what do they call themselves? It took a while. It was a matter of asking the prime minister's spokesman, the best you could do because officially, the Mossad is under the prime minister's office. And I think he sort of wondered why you wanna know and all that, so we explained. And he came up with the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service. I mean, if it were to have initials, it would be ISIS. Just simple words like that.

🧵 5. HAMAS — Resistance & Israeli Occupation Origin (1987): Hamas emerged during the First Intifada as the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Israeli occupation and U.S. complicity in land theft and dehumanization created the conditions for Hamas to thrive. Unlike the "rebel" groups armed by israel and the U.S., Hamas is a genuine resistance movement born from Palestinian suffering and the resistance of armed aggressive military occupation. Documented Israeli Role (1970s–1980s): Israel didn't just "permit" Hamas's growth—it actively cultivated it as a counterweight to secular Palestinian nationalism. Israeli officials licensed Hamas's founder, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, to build mosques, schools, and charities in Gaza. This wasn’t a mistake; it was a calculated move to divide Palestinians and maintain israeli dominance while giving israel the ability to claim Hamas is using "human shields" and "putting bases under schools/hospitals" and similar tactics. From the start, Israel's plan was to divide Palestine by creating, funding and radicalizing terrorist cells within Palestine to justify attacking them - taking their land - and apparently, exterminating the entire population. As evidenced by their recent and numerous statements indicating that even if Hamas releases the hostages there will be no cease fire. Key israeli officials going all the way back to the beginning of the occupation stated public that their goal was the removal of all Arabs in israel. How That Policy Functioned: Legal Recognition: Israel gave Hamas's Islamic charity network (Mujama al-Islamiya) official status, allowing it to expand under israeli oversight. Strategic Funding: Some Hamas institutions received resources or approvals because israeli planners believed they would undermine the PLO/Fatah. Public Admission: Israeli insiders later admitted this was a deliberate strategy to weaken secular Palestinian leaders.📺🧵 Growth Into Politics & Governance: Social Welfare: Hamas built its base through funding schools, hospitals, and welfare programs—filling gaps left by Israeli occupation and U.S. sanctions with money from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and israel. Democratic Victory: In 2006, Hamas won Palestinian legislative elections fair and square. Israel and the U.S. responded by cutting off aid and imposing a blockade. Governance: After violent clashes with Fatah, Hamas took control of Gaza and maintained order despite Israeli attacks and economic strangulation. Context: Hamas's "appeal" isn’t about “terrorism”—it’s about resistance to occupation, settlement expansion, and failed negotiations. Israel and the U.S. arm and train jihadist groups and ISIS in Syria and call them rebels while they attack Syrian women and children but then call Hamas "terrorists" for resisting the terrorism of the israeli occupation. Hamas has protected Palestinian civilians while israel bombs them. The exact opposite of israel's claims such as those made by Mike Huckabee last week.📽️in🧵 On September 12, 2001, Hamas representative Abdel Aziz Rantisi said that "the US reaps what it sows". He further stated that while Hamas could not approve of killing innocents, the United States was responsible for its own misery due to its support for israel and its actions against Arabs and Muslims. An understandable position considering the millions of Arabs and Muslims killed by the US and Israel in their never ending war campaign and occupation; and a testament to their overall restraint and nature. Further Context: Mia Shem stated that Hamas treated her well and only raped her with their eyes. When she returned to isreal she was drugged and raped by her gym instructor. 📺🧵 A fairly common practice in israel, which has one of the highest pedophile and rapist populations per capita in the world. Israel was caught brutally raping Palestinian prisoners on camera with police clubs. When they were punished (for getting caught) there was a riot to release them because "they have a right to rape". See: July 2024 Sde Teiman Incident International Designations: The U.S., EU, and israel label Hamas “terrorist” because it fights back against occupation. But Hamas has also negotiated ceasefires and shown restraint. They've agreed many times to a release of the hostages and Netanyahu intentionally ignores the offers, instead spreading propaganda claiming he's asking for peace and to "release the hostages". Meanwhile, israel kills tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians with impunity. Speculative Assertions: Elements within israel allowed or manipulated the 10/7 attacks to justify another war against Palestinians. An assertion made by Charlie Kirk before his assassination. The body of evidence that implicates israeli involvement, or at the very least that they knew ahead of time and allowed it to happen, continues to accumulate as insiders step forward and give their testimonies. Considering israel's history of creating and arming terrorist groups, how do we know that it was Hamas and not an israeli created cell that attacked on 10/7? As Netanyahu said "Democracies don't go to war easily. Sometimes you have to bomb them into going to war". There were large protests in israel leading up to 10/7 attack; protesting Netanyahu's judicial overhaul plan. Some 200k or more israelis showed up to protest Netanyahu. Conveniently for him, israel was attacked. Big Picture: By cultivating Hamas as a counterweight, israel created a force it later struggled to control. Hamas’s resistance is a response to occupation and systematic oppression—not a product of random violence. Conclusion: Historical records show israel cultivated the conditions for Hama's rise. The ongoing occupation, blockade, and attacks on civilians are the real aggressions. The evidence is undeniable. 📺Sep 22, 2025

Speaker 0: The UK led the way on Sunday recognizing a Palestinian state followed by Canada, Australia, and Portugal. Speaker 1: In the face of the growing horror in the Middle East, we are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace and a two stage solution. That means a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian state. Speaker 0: Unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and the situation in Gaza are expected to dominate this week's UN general assembly. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there will not be a Palestinian state in the West Bank. Speaker 2: At the UN, I will present the truth. This is Israel's truth, but it is the objective truth in our righteous struggle against the forces of evil and our vision for real peace, peace from strength. Speaker 0: Netanyahu said the recognition delivers one message. Speaker 3: I Speaker 2: have a clear message to those leaders who recognize the Palestinian state after the terrible massacre of October 7. You are giving a huge price to terrorism, and I have another message for you. It will not happen. There will be no Palestinian state West of the Jordan. Speaker 0: Despite the argument that the decision would sideline Hamas and bring peace, Hamas took credit for the recognition, saying it's because of their October 7 invasion and massacre of Israelis. Palestinians in Ramallah welcomed the decision and made their ultimate goal clear. We also hope to see a complete Palestinian state from the sea to the river. Israeli legal expert Eugene Kantorovich says supporters can say what they want, but a Palestinian state doesn't exist. Speaker 3: They have complete independence, autonomy. Israel is not controlling their lives. So, what would a state give them that they don't have now? The ability to buy weapons on the international market and the ability to open their borders and bring in jihadis from around the world. So, imagine October 7, except this time, instead of machine guns and gliders, they have airplanes and artillery and millions of people who have come to join them on jihad from around the world. Speaker 0: Therefore, he says, Israel cannot allow the establishment of a Palestinian state. In Israel, there is talk of extending Israeli sovereignty over biblical Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, thereby preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state. Netanyahu says he'll deliver Israel's official response after he meets with president Trump following his UN speech. Julie Stall, CBN News, Jerusalem.
