“Israel is arming gangs to loot aid convoys, sow chaos, and fracture Palestinian society in Gaza.

This is a colonial tactic — and it's not new. (Mondoweiss)

ISRAEL IS ARMING

CRIMINAL GANGS IN GAZA TO AID IN ITS GENOCIDE STARVATION STRATEGY.

Yasser Abu-Shabaab leads Gaza's most notorious gang network.

Israel is currently arming him.

“As part of its genocidal strategy of weaponizing aid, Israel has been arming, funding, and providing cover to alleged ISIS-linked, criminal gangs in southern Gaza.

These gangs, previously suppressed by the Palestinian resistance, include drug traffickers, murderers, and thieves among their ranks. These gangs play a primary role in facilitating the concentration of Palestinians into Southern Gaza at the behest of the Israeli occupation.

The main organization leading these gangs is the ‘Popular Forces,’ led by Yasser Abu-Shabaab. Abu-Shabaab was previously imprisoned in Gaza for drug trafficking and maintains a clandestine criminal network from Gaza to the Egyptian Sinai, where Islamic State groups control the smuggling routes…

As early as October 2024, primarily operating out of Rafah, the Popular Forces set up staging areas in proximity to Israeli bases and aid distribution sites. This allowed the Popular Forces immediate access to the distribution sites, where they would loot aid to resell to Palestinians for extortionate prices on the black market.

Its fighters have now announced they have been ‘protecting’ shipments of aid

to the Gaza Humanitarian “GENOCIDAL” Foundation sites. In conjunction with Israel and GHF, the Popular Forces have established a camp in eastern Rafah, the very area the Zionist occupation seeks to concentrate Palestinians, utilizing looted aid as bait to lure starving Palestinians…

The Popular Forces have effectively become subcontractors of Israeli genocide, reportedly. taking on reconnaissance and information gathering missions for the Zionist occupation.

More recently, Popular Forces fighters have been targeted by Palestinian resistance for their role in the genocide. While the Popular Forces have been framed as an "alternative" or an "opposition" to Palestinian resistance, in reality, they are simply extensions of the IDF, allowing Israel to reduce risks for its own occupation soldiers.

While the Zionist occupation continues to expand its military assault with little success, the main strategy employed by Israel to advance its objective of ethnic cleansing is starvation, with the goal of concentrating Palestinians into the South.

Israel seeks to leverage criminal collaborators to advance this mission by_preying on desperate, starving people, who would never accept aid from the Zionist occupation itself. Ultimately, this latest effort reflects the failures of the Zionist occupation to establish complete control over Gaza.”

At this point, besides the PR benefit of 'ending' the growing media scandal of 'xx days of Israel Starving 2M ppl to death', the important motive for GHF is motion towards the AshkeNazi racial ideal of EinsatzGruppen using only one bullet(say 50¢) per person to carry out Genocide instead of 3000$ bombs delivered by aerial missions costing 000s of $ but killing only 10-100 Gazans at cost of 00-000$/dead Gazan ! Imagine the growing consternation among Shailachs n MeyerLansky's of Smotrich DeathFinance Ministry as well as Trump DOGE oversight of US Tax $ about such outrageous expense on killing Humans with much less worth than animals! Especially since Organ Harvesting for profit system seems difficult to scale to 000s of organs /day : would lead to oversupply n clash with ZioDemon_Mengele_Organ Harvesting in Africa. Fixed cost of mounting RC Machine Guns on Cranes overlooking GHF corralling points for hungry Gazans drawn by possibility of food is quite low. GHF system for steady low cost daily Massacres in Trump_ZioDemon_Auschwitz_On_The_Med is a temporary phase of use of Waterfront property claimed by Trump-Kushner Realty as payback for Billions of US Tax $ successfully grifted by AIPAC n MoZZad influence harvesting machine that controls Trump n rest of US Legislators n other elected officials. Scheme has so many payoffs it must seem an irresistible coup to Champion Grift Deal makers like Trump n Killer Loverboy Kushner ! Trump_GazaNika_Condos will carry such enviable cachet from being sited right over what used to be Trump_Auschwitz_On_The_Mediterranean n in solid foundation of bones of 2 Million Children Women n Men. Western Civilization has reached an apogee of Creative n Financial Genius ! Poor Shylock would be so abashed ! All he wanted was a pound of flesh.

So Israel sets up what are called food aid centres and lures the Palestinians to them and then murders them? Are there no limits to the depravity of the State of Hate? Clearly not.

And of course Israel blames Hamas.

Hamas made me do it. The shitraeli catch cry.

Yes I killed those emergency aid workers but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I shot that three year old through the head and heart but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I shot that pregnant woman in the stomach but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I raped that Palestinian woman but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I raped that Palestinian man with my gun barrel but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I tortured that Palestinian child but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I tortured that doctor but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I tortured that old woman but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I murdered 232 journalists but Hamas made me do it.

Yes we killed five year old Hind Rajab, by tormenting her with 355 bullets, finally finishing her off as we sat safely in our tank but Hamas made us do it. And Hamas made us execute the ambulance guys who came to try to save the child. It wasn't our fault - HAMAS MADE US DO IT.

Yes I murdered hundreds of doctors but Hamas made me do it.

Yes I murdered hundreds of thousands of children but Hamas made me do it.

Yes, we made bombs out of food cans so we could watch starving Palestinians, particularly kids, blow themselves to pieces but Hamas made us do it.

Yes we set up food aid centres and then murdered any Palestinians who came but Hamas made us do it.

Well put, shitrael is very APT & has been since it's inception which has & is for much of the Middle East, if that were a hamas gun man then he would be shot by an other drone or Israeli snipper almost instantly.

Religious Zionists consider themselves to be the chosen people, whom God has selected to fulfil a special role and to be an example of moral and spiritual behaviour. That would mean that they have a unique responsibility to follow and spread God's values and laws. The current regime in Israel has a very sinister view of its task, which fits in with the cruelty of the Old Testament, but not with today's standards of civilisation. It is high time that the extremists in Israel are made to understand that Zionism is not a licence to commit crimes against humanity, even under an existential threat. As often, not much good comes from “..ism”.

The Jews that took over Palestine with their Zionists land theft project are European Jews that converted to Judaism back in the year 740 AD. They are mere converts. There is no seed of Abraham. They are not Semitic people.

They are Europeans. They controlled an empire called Khazaria. The Khazar Empire was located between the Black Sea and the Caspian, now southern Russia. The entire Khazar Empire originated from a powerful Turkish tribe that had converted and became Jewish starting in the year 740AD, when it came under pressure from both Christianity and Islam to convert.

After their final defeat by Russia in the 11th Century, the Khazar Jews scattered Westward, but many still remained in that area between the Black Sea and the Caspian. Later, these Jews too also resettled further West in what is now Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine when the King of Poland invited them in.

Still later, this was the only place they were allowed to settle by Russia’s Catherine the Great, starting in the 18th Century. It was called the “Pale of Settlement”. That is why there eventually became to be about 8 million Jews in that area prior to WWII. Warsaw alone was 25 % Jewish. The same for Krakow. But, all of them were merely these same Jewish Khazar converts from the 8th Century. What else could explain this huge number of Jews in this area? We now call them Ashkenazim Jews. They make up 95% of World Jewry.

Why should these European religious converts be allowed to displace the historic inhabitants of Palestine? The Palestinians themselves probably have more ‘seed of Abraham’, passed down from the Biblical Jews from 2000 years ago. Thus, Palestinians are God’s chosen people.

Thanks for that explanation which if true which seems likely does reveal a great deal, I always suspected the so styled Israeli Jews had very little to do with Biblical Jews who were also not Christian or very humane any how..

Lucas Vermeulen's avatar

Many thanks for your explanation.

There are no literal seeds in followers of a religion. Abraham probably never existed but even if he did it is impossible for a religion to create a genetic marker let alone maintain it over thousands of years. The concept is genetically, biologically, scientifically impossible.

Israel does not care about being caught out in a lie. The lie is a propaganda tactic to flood western media. When the truth comes and their lies are thoroughly debunked - its army of propagandists keep repeating it as 'fact' and excuse for more barbarity - goal achieved. It doesn't care when its atrocities and depravities are unmasked - it broadcasts them gleefully to the world. Its leaders, PR, soldiers, citizens (not all), illegal settlers make genocidal statement upon genocidal statement and barely a peep from western mainstream media. And not a peep from the western media when an Israeli or Jewish person decries the genocidal statements or says genocide is being committed.

True, Israel has absolute impunity - no red lines, has a de facto veto at the UN, diplomatic and media cover, an unending shipment of deadly weapons, compliant western leaders and western media willing to lie for it, and nuclear bombs. But it's obvious Israel is not powerful enough to go it alone. So:

Who is promising Israel that it can commit any crime with impunity, before and after the fact?

+ has the power to keep that promise?

+ is willingly to silence its own citizens and break its own laws to keep its promise to Israel?

+ is willing to dismantle and destroy its own country's guiding/aspirational principles?

+ believes they can get away with it?

I dread to imagine what's coming.

Its not just israel that has gone off the deep end. The ruling class of the entire western colonial bloc has lost their minds. They would rather try to kill everyone else on the planet, than simply live in normal equality with them. This is how deep the white supremacy goes in that class of people.

Stop insuring genocide!

CODEPINK, in partnership with Palestine Youth Movement’s campaign #MaskOffMaersk, is applying pressure on Maersk, the multinational shipping company sending military cargo to Israel. In unmasking Maersk, we’ve learned that Zurich Insurance insures Maersk’s weapons shipments to Israel for its genocide in Gaza.

On May 15, Nakba Day, they attempted to speak with Zurich Insurance in Chicago — they responded by kicking us out of the building.

Join the campaign and sign the letter: Zurich: Stop Insuring Genocide!

Microsoft workers oppose ties with Israel. Microsoft claims that after conducting its internal investigation, with “external fact-finding,” they’ve found “no evidence to date that Microsoft’s Azure and AI technologies have been used to target or harm people in the conflict in Gaza.”

We do not accept that claim, and neither do the workers who issued a statement in response to the company’s PR.3


Take action with us — and support the Microsoft workers organizing to cut the company’s ties with Israel’s military

Microsoft and other tech partners, like Google and Amazon, are helping redefine the ugly underbelly of U.S. technology’s use in war.

We’ve set up a digital action where you can send emails to Microsoft leadership, including AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, with just a few clicks.

And let’s tell Google to stop weaponizing AI, and to cut ties with Israel.

Mahmoud Khalil is still behind bars. He told the court: “I spent a good time of my life fleeing from harm, advocating for the marginalized to have rights. That's what put me in danger. Israel is committing genocide. America is funding that genocide. Columbia is investing in it. That is what I was protesting. This is what I will continue to protest. This is what everyone should protest. This is where our efforts should go.”

Petition for the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil.

Hunger Strike!

New hunger strike action from CUNY. Eight students, staff, and faculty from across the City University of New York system started an indefinite hunger strike on Tuesday, May 27th. They have one demand: that CUNY Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez and the CUNY Board of Trustees immediately divest from Israel and from all weapons and technology manufacturers equipping the Israeli-U.S. genocide in Palestine. 

They are using the hunger strike to raise funds “to send urgent funds to people in Gaza for food and other needed materials.”

https://chuffed.org/project/131840-cuny-hunger-strike-fundraiser-for-gaza

Also, continuing is the hunger strike by students and faculty at Stanford University to protest attacks on academic freedom and complicity in the Gaza genocide.

If ever there was a moment that demands civil disobedience, it is the hour of genocide.

You can read more about this moral stance here:

An urgent ask from Stanford SJP is to sign and circulate the Drop the Charges petition https://actionnetwork.org/forms/supportstanford12?source=direct_link& which demands that the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office drop the felony charges brought against twelve Stanford University students and alumni following their participation in a protest advocating for Stanford’s divestment from corporations implicated in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

We call on the newly elected, US, Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. Is there anything more important in today's world than this?

Please sign the petition and share widely.

"For a genocidal state, there are no red lines" and none for their enablers and supporters either the very same colonial-settler states who stole land and resources, lied and cheated, spread false rumors, committed mass atrocities and genocide - divinely sanctioned they also said.

Time does not change facts. But appallingly the facts have not changed behavior either. The global north went from dehumanizing Jews as a societal norm leading to indifference to genocide as it happened; to dehumanizing Palestinians as a societal norm leading to indifference to genocide as it is happening, cynically with Israel as the chief standard bearer.
