Despite Israel’s formidable military capabilities in the Middle East, it undoubtedly cannot establish regional dominance—a status implying absolute superiority over all adversaries and the voluntary submission of neighboring states.
Netanyahu’s bold claims of transforming Israel into an unshakable regional ruler sound like a fantasy detached from reality. His ambitions are not strategic calculations but dangerous illusions, ridiculed by history and debunked by the very logic of Middle Eastern conflict.
The Bloody March of the “Invincible” Hegemon
After Hamas’s successful October 2023 attack, Israel responded with relentless slaughter, attempting to erase Palestinians from the political map. Human rights advocates and experts unanimously labeled it genocide. Then, it methodically decimated Hezbollah’s leadership in Lebanon—through airstrikes, exploding phones, and other covert warfare tactics. It bombed Yemen to suppress the Houthis and struck Syria under the pretext of destroying weapons, though in reality, it sought to crush any resistance to its influence.
Then came Iran’s turn. Israel’s unprovoked attacks were not just strikes on nuclear facilities, but an attempt to:
– Sabotage U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations, leaving Tehran with no diplomatic options.
– Decapitate Iran’s elite—killing generals, scientists, and diplomats to cripple its ability to respond.
– Drag the U.S. into a major war, shifting the burden of its adventurism onto Washington.
At best, Israel hoped to push the Iranian regime to collapse. But all of Netanyahu’s “bold strategist” efforts ended in obvious failure. The Iranian people rallied even more firmly around their government, and hatred for Israel’s bandit-like actions only grew. This reaction among ordinary Iranians is widely reported by diplomats and global media, including in the U.S. The exception is the Israeli press, which Netanyahu has heavily censored under an endless-seeming wartime regime.
Hegemon? Or Hostage to His Own Delusions?
If each of these actions brought temporary success, does that mean Israel has become the region’s unshakable master? If a hegemon is a force no one can resist, does Israel fit that definition? And crucially: Should neighbors bow their heads, acknowledging its “natural” superiority, as small nations do before great powers?
Reality only laughs in response. Israel’s might is not a sign of dominance, but a desperate attempt to suppress growing resistance. Each new attack breeds new enemies; each bombing creates new avengers. Netanyahu’s hollow “victories” are Pyrrhic—they don’t consolidate power but only rock the boat he himself sits in.
The idea of Israeli hegemony is a doomed utopia. Because true strength lies not in aerial terror but in the ability to negotiate—something neither Israel nor its prime ministers, including the latest failure Netanyahu, have ever learned.
Israel and the Illusion of Regional Dominance
Since its founding in 1948, Israel has demonstrated an impressive ability to survive and strengthen amid hostile surroundings. Relying on cutting-edge military technology and unwavering Western (especially U.S.) support, the country has gained significant influence in the Middle East. Yet, the dream of regional leadership remains unattainable—not due to a lack of strength but because of a lack of legitimacy, recognition from neighbors, and a coherent strategic vision.
With a $27.5 billion budget, Israel boasts one of the world’s most powerful militaries: a nuclear arsenal, advanced missile defense, elite special forces, and cyber warfare units. Its per capita military spending is among the highest globally, and overseas operations—like assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists or striking Syrian facilities—showcase its formidable capabilities.
But military might does not translate into political dominance. Operation Rising Lion in 2025—a joint U.S.-Israel strike on Iran’s nuclear sites—exemplified this paradox. Despite tactical success (temporarily destroying centrifuges in Natanz and the underground Fordow facility), the operation was a strategic failure. Iran not only quickly repaired the damage but, as Tehran announced, accelerated its nuclear program, enriching uranium to 90%. Meanwhile, Iran retaliated with effective missile strikes on Israeli bases and the U.S. Al Udeid base in Qatar.
Why Can’t Israel Become a Hegemon?
Several glaring reasons stand out:
The Demographic Time Bomb – The Arab population within Israel and in occupied territories (Gaza, West Bank) continues to grow, threatening the Jewish character of the state.
The Palestinian Wound – The unresolved Palestinian issue undermines Israel’s international reputation and unites the Arab world in solidarity with Palestinians. Even Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has repeatedly emphasized this.
Geopolitical Isolation – Even normalization with the UAE and Bahrain hasn’t changed the fundamental reality: the Arab world is unwilling to accept Israel as a legitimate regional leader. Powers like Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia see it as a rival, not a partner.
No Unifying Ideology – Unlike Iran’s “Shiite resistance” or Turkey’s Ottoman nostalgia, Israel lacks a regional vision. Its policy revolves around security and deterrence, not constructive engagement.
True hegemony requires not just military superiority but voluntary recognition. Yet, Israel remains an “outsider” in the region—due to its occupation of Palestinian lands, blockade of Gaza, and reliance on U.S. support, which is seen as dependence on an external power. Even technological marvels like the Iron Dome don’t negate its vulnerability to mass rocket attacks. And with 30% of its military budget coming from U.S. aid, its strategy is predictable.
Israel’s “security through superiority” approach has reached its limit. Operations like *Rising Lion* only accelerate arms races and consolidate enemies. Without a political settlement with Palestinians and normalized relations with neighbors, Israel is doomed to remain a fortress—not a leader.
The Alternative?
Shifting from intimidation to diplomacy. Creating regional security structures where Israel is an equal partner, not an occupier. For now, Netanyahu’s dream of hegemony remains a utopia—because force can be bought, but respect cannot.
Israel will not become a hegemon because it lacks not just military power but legitimacy. Its security depends not on strength but on political reconciliation with neighbors, including Palestinians. The world must realize: instead of blind support for Israel, diplomacy and dialogue are needed. Only this can break the cycle of violence and achieve lasting peace.
Viktor Mikhin, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Middle East Expert
Some well-meaning people (as below) are keen to point to ‘anti-Zionism’ in Haredi communities in occupied Palestine. The hope is that they might help to dismantle the Jewish state from within. But we should beware the false hope that this brings.
The anti-Zionism which was almost universally shared by Hasidic groups in 1947 has been subject to considerable dilution and indeed reversals. Some groups like the Bobov maintain a refusal to serve in the IDF and appear to have been more militant in this than the other large Hasidic sects.
On the other hand, the three largest Hasidic courts: Ger, Belz, and Viznitz, have, in July 2024 “instructed their members to continue” to “report at the enlistment centers after receiving pre-draft evaluation orders.” All four of these sects have adherents who live in illegal settlements. There is even a Bobov cluster in the illegal settlement of Beitar Illit, and the Bobov Rebbe has recently made a “triumphant visit to Israel”.
In addition Ger, Belz and Viznitz are closely associated with two ultra-orthodox parties the Agudat Yisrael, which is half of a coalition known as United Torah Judaism, which is, in turn, part of the current Netanyahu regime. We can safely conclude that all of these notionally anti-Zionist sects are Jewish supremacists.
Meanwhile one of the largest groups known as Chabad, has shifted from an anti-Zionist position in the 1920s to become an ultra-Zionist sect which has enthusiastically taken part in the genocide in Gaza. This sect, has over 5,000 branches worldwide, and more than 150 outposts in the UK.
But surely there are ‘genuine’ Anti-Zionist Hasidim?
Well, the main candidate for that accolade is the Satmar.
Satmar is the largest Hasidic sect that still professes to be anti-Zionist. However, after the launch of Al Aqsa Flood one of the leaders (there are two rival factions) of Satmar condemned the participation of the anti-Zionist group Neturei Karta in demonstrations in solidarity with the Palestinians. Neturei Karta appears to take some inspiration from the previous Satmar Rebbe, but there are apparently some contradictions within the Satmar camp. Among the rebukes from Rabbi Yekusiel Yehuda Teitelbaum, one of the two Satmar Rebbes, based in Williamsburg, New York, was: “Unfortunately, we see how far they have strayed from the path… They are walking around the world together with the Arabs, with those who shout without any shame and support the murders, they walk with them in broad daylight with the Shtreimel and the gown and shout together with the haters of Israel and murderers of souls. This is a terrible desecration of the name of heaven, to strengthen murderers in the name of the Holy Torah and in the name of heaven.” Obviously, the anti-Zionism of this strand of Satmar, at least, does not extend to supporting the liberation of Palestine or support for Palestinian resistance.
Bibi thinks he’s accelerating towards some kind of victory. But he’s actually zooming off a cliff. As the reality of the Gaza genocide sinks in, the people of the region, and the world, will find a way to excise the Zionist cancer from West Asia and the planet. It could come through the ongoing Resistance strategy of imposing death from a thousand cuts, as the world collectively withdraws support from Israel and throws its weight behind Palestine. But we might also see nukes going off in Occupied Palestine, or the release of biological weapons targeting Ashkenazi Jews. By now, people are angry enough to try just about anything.
Israel’s genocide strategy is accelerationist in the sense of “let’s make things worse in hopes that it will somehow magically make things better.” The original accelerationists were left-wingers who wanted to intensify the ravages of techno-capitalism in hopes of provoking revolution. In recent decades the alt right has appropriated the concept to mean “let’s burn down society so our ethnonationalist utopia can emerge from its ashes.” Israel, for its part, wants to burn down West Asia, and with it the world, so Biblical prophecy can be fulfilled as a Jewish Messiah arises to rule the world from a rebuilt blood sacrifice temple in Jerusalem.
This kind of millennialist messianic madness isn’t new. Historian Norman Cohn’s The Pursuit of the Millennium gives us the pro-Jewish version, casting Christians as the main villains and Jews as innocent scapegoats. But since Christian and Muslim millenarianists agree that Jesus, the Prince of Peace and avatar of pure spirituality and universalist brotherly love, is the one true Messiah, whereas Jews loathe Jesus and yearn for a bloody Jewish conquerer to subjugate, exterminate, and enslave all non-Jews under a global Jewish dictatorship, it’s easy to understand why the Jewish version of messianic millenarianism is even more toxic than the Christian cults analyzed by Cohn.
About 375 years ago, Zionism was born in the ravings of the lunatic satanist Shabtai Tzvi as polished by his publicist, Nathan of Gaza. Together, the pair convinced the plurality of European, North African, and West Asian Jews to at least provisionally accept Tzvi as the Messiah who would lead them to conquer the Holy Land and following that, the world. While Tzvi’s career culminated ignominiously in the propitious year 1666, when he led his followers into nominal conversions to Islam in a successful attempt to convince the Ottoman sultan to spare his life, Tzvi’s brand of satanic antinomian Zionism sparked the movement that unleashed genocide on Palestine in 1948 and is accelerating it today.
Tzvi’s movement crashed and burned. Unsurprisingly, it elicited “persecution” of Jewish communities. (Naturally enough, Christian and Muslim rulers were wary of maniacal outbreaks of Jewish fanaticism, especially since the fanatics’ goal was to conquer and exterminate Christians and Muslims and enslave the survivors.)
There have been countless similar cases of Jewish excesses leading to “persecutions.” When Jewish predation (or parasitism if you will) reaches a certain point, the victims have nothing to lose and rise up in pogroms. If usurers who are also tax collectors and blackmailers and sellers of alcohol, drugs, and whores reduce whole communities to penury, those communities have been known to respond, naturally enough, with torches and pitchforks. Throw in the minoritarian but very real practice of black magic using the blood of Christian children, among other abominations, and you have a perfect blueprint for becoming the world’s most unpopular minority.
When Bibi’s genocidal plan to conquer West Asia river-to-river fails, and Jews return to the status they have always enjoyed (barring a brief post-World War II interlude) as the most hated people on the planet, there will doubtless be wailing and gnashing of teeth. But maybe that’s the whole point. Maybe tribalist Jews are actually masochists who love being hated, and who torment the goyim precisely so they can find themselves “persecuted.” That’s what one of my favorite ex-Israelis, Alon Mizrahi, suggests in his latest Substack note:
In case you were wondering what the Israeli plan was, let me share with you that plan in great detail: it doesn’t exist.
There is no Israeli plan. There is no future arrangement they seek to achieve, or a finite situation.
Their plan is to keep escalating until they are forced to stop either by a devastating war, crippling sanctions, internal collapse, or a civil war (preferably: all at once).
That is the plan. Believe me: this, and only this, is the plan.
–
Zionists are notoriously braindead, souldead, and deluded, but they know that they cannot take over the Middle East and subjugate all of humanity to their rule, which is the only way they could censor ‘criticism of Israel’ and contain resistance forever. They know it’s impossible (unless god steps in and intervenes on their psychopathic behalf).
Their plan is not to achieve this; the plan is to die or get arrested trying. It is not a plan, but a yearning that cannot be controlled to fail in something big and then mourn the destruction and failure, like Ashkenazi Jews love to do so much.
They made mourning and complaints against humanity the center of their culture and identity, and that’s precisely the mental space they want to return to. This is the only space where they will feel safe and at home: when they are hated and everything they built has been destroyed. For them, a scenario like this is the ultimate proof that they are really god’s chosen.
I know it sounds psychotic, and it is. Nevertheless, that’s the collective yearning: to try big, to fail big, and to fall back to the comforting sense of persecution and hate.
–
This is why they’re doing all these counterintuitive things (from a self-preservation point of view). They want to be stopped. They long to be vilified and hated. They relish that hatred. It comforts and soothes them. When they are hated, in their mind, they become eternal Jews, fulfilling the decrees of an ancient Jewish existence.
They don’t hate being hated. They love it. Once you realize this, things will start making sense to you.
–
God bless Alon Mizrohi for escaping from the Israeli prison, and the Jewish-tribalist mind-prison. Like Gilad Atzmon and Miko Peled, he’s living proof that being born Jewish in Israel doesn’t necessarily prevent a person from uttering prophetic truths.
On 19 July, the Mail on Sunday revealed that Inter-Mediate, a shadowy firm founded by Jonathan Powell, now National Security advisor to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, brokered the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between Damascus and London.
This included a heavily publicized meeting between UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Syria’s self-appointed President Ahmad al-Sharaa, two weeks earlier. The outlet also exposed how the British state-funded Inter-Mediate operates a dedicated office in Syria’s Presidential Palace.
Britain’s opposition Conservative party has demanded a formal inquiry into Powell’s use of Inter-Mediate “to run back channels to terrorist groups” and the conflict of interest created by his unelected role.
As Starmer’s national security advisor – described as wielding “more influence over foreign policy than anyone in government after the prime minister himself” – Powell operates entirely outside parliamentary accountability. A Whitehall source told the Mail on Sunday:
“These are essentially outsourced spies and spooks undertaking ‘back channel’ discussions with political leaders and armed groups to reach negotiated settlements.”
Terrorists to technocrats
Inter-Mediate’s central role in assisting former Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Sharaa’s rise to power in Damascus was first revealed in May by Independent Arabia. This followed disclosures from former US ambassador to Syria Robert Ford (2011 – 2014), that in 2023 a British “non-governmental organization” sought his personal assistance in transforming HTS – in particular Sharaa, who went by the nom de guerre Abu Mohammad Julani when he was an ISIS chief – from “terrorists” into politicians. While Ford did not name Inter-Mediate, Independent Arabia did – and mainstream media ignored it entirely.
Now that Inter-Mediate’s embedment with Damascus’s post-Bashar al-Assad government has been confirmed, western media has belatedly begun describing Syria’s new rulers as comprised of barbarous extremists linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Yet few are willing to interrogate the far graver implications of a British intelligence-linked firm enjoying intimate access to Syria’s seat of power – and the extraordinary leverage that affords London over the HTS-led administration and its leadership.
Compounding this is the deeply suspicious timing: Powell assumed his advisory role just days before HTS violently seized Damascus. Starmer immediately declared that Assad’s ouster heralded “a more active role” for Britain in West Asia and dispatched top diplomats to meet with HTS officials. The media acknowledged these summits were completely illegal, as HTS was a proscribed terror group under British law.
Despite the occupation state routinely executing highly destructive airstrikes against government and military infrastructure since former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s fall, HTS appears undeterred. We are thus left to ponder whether the Al-Qaeda-rooted government’s brutal internal repression, and concerted inaction over Tel Aviv’s military bombardments and incursions into its territory, are ultimately directed by MI6.
‘Deny responsibility’
Inter-Mediate’s website offers few clues to its real agenda. It lists a cadre of former western diplomats and military officials as staff and board members, and vaguely claims to facilitate “backchannels with hard-to-reach conflict actors” where “direct negotiations are impossible or inadvisable.” It boasts of creating space for political solutions “in some of the world’s most intractable conflicts.”
Syria was quite some “intractable conflict” – not least because Assad’s “popular” and sovereign government steadfastly refused to relinquish power to mass-murdering CIA and MI6-backed foreign elements that invaded the country in 2011.
Leaked emails of former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton indicate Inter-Mediate was active in Damascus from the first stages of the foreign-fomented “crisis.” In March 2012, Clinton’s senior aide Jake Sullivan contacted her, announcing Powell had “launched a new NGO that has already initiated some very interesting work below the radar.”
An attached email from Powell noted Inter-Mediate had “[set] up secret channels between insurgents and governments” in several countries, was preparing to start work in Burma, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen, and sought to pitch its services to senior US State Department officials.
He added his firm “work[ed] closely” with the British Foreign Office, National Security Council, and MI6. At this time, it was well-understood in Washington that Syrian “insurgents” were affiliated with Al-Qaeda, among other ultra-extremist entities.
The evidence suggests Inter-Mediate’s relationship with the forces that became HTS dates back over a decade, and that London’s project to replace Assad with a compliant Al-Qaeda-linked regime has been in motion ever since. Its operational office inside Syria’s palace is not a recent development, but the culmination of years of quiet penetration. Nor is Inter-Mediate the only British intelligence cutout embedded in West Asia’s corridors of power.
As The Cradle has previously documented, Lebanon’s security and intelligence apparatus is heavily penetrated by the British, to the extent that Foreign Office contractor Torchlight maintains a dedicated office within Beirut’s Military Intelligence Directorate.
Leaked documents related to this infiltration noted London’s presence was a highly effective means of “rapidly developing relationships of trust” with the agency’s high-ranking staff, and ensuring they were “unlikely to say ‘no’” to further involvement of British personnel and technology in the Directorate’s sensitive operations.
Other leaked files related to the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), a British clone of the US CIA front the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), reveal the organization maintains offices in Lebanon’s parliament building.
An official review of WFD’s activities explicitly states its “central rationale” is to conduct “controversial” projects overseas that London “could not or would not wish to undertake directly,” therefore limiting “damage to official government-to-government relationships,” while “avoiding the danger” of “British government presence [being] interpreted as foreign interference.”
“[WFD’s] arm’s length relationship … provides the [Foreign Office] with the best safeguard … the less the [Foreign Office] seeks to exercise control the more it can deny responsibility … The Foundation provides a necessary and valuable instrument over and above those which the [Foreign Office] can provide for itself.”
Powell’s warpath
The Mail on Sunday’seditorial accompanying the Inter-Mediate exposé highlights another key concern: the outsized power wielded by former UK prime minister Tony Blair-era figures in Starmer’s government. Powell is not alone – Peter Mandelson, now the UK’s ambassador to Washington, is another. The editorial bluntly states that these Blairites “are the real forces in British diplomacy,” while Lammy plays “an effectively ceremonial role,” executing policies scripted by Powell and others behind the scenes.
While the pair were said to maintain “formidable private networks they are able to mobilize” to influence British government action and policy, “some within Downing Street” were reportedly “growing increasingly wary about the influence of these smooth Blairites.” As one official put it, “at what point does ‘experience’ and ‘guidance’ become ‘control’?”
That question also applies to Inter-Mediate’s relationship with the new Syrian government. Is Powell, via his company and government position, finally realizing Blair’s long-standing dream of reshaping West Asia in Britain’s image? The former prime minister’s Institute for Global Change has openly called for regime change in Iran and boasts of nurturing anti-government networks across the region.
Powell’s history is instructive. In September 2002, he pressed the UK’s Joint Intelligence Committee to exaggerate Iraq’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction (WMD) to justify the illegal Anglo-American invasion six months later.
He believed it a “bit of a problem” that the assessment did not conclude Iraq posed an urgent, imminent military threat, insisting its wording be changed to ensure maximum impact on media reporting, and public perceptions. A recent profile of Powell suggests he remains committed to Blair’s mission:
“The historical record shows [Powell] had doubts about Iraq’s WMDs, but thought Saddam Hussein had to go ‘because he was a ruthless dictator suppressing his people’. This was, as Blair named it, ‘liberal interventionism’, which called for the west to ‘get actively involved in other people’s conflicts’ … [Powell] has the same instincts today. After Iraq, and Afghanistan, he still wants to save the world.”
If Starmer’s unelected security chief is indeed scripting foreign policy through Inter-Mediate, then Britain is no longer merely meddling in West Asia but is also governing it by proxy. And if Powell’s loyal Al-Qaeda client in Damascus is the new face of “liberal interventionism,” it is clear the colonial playbook has not just returned – it never left.

It is true that in 1945, Allied propaganda did claim that all the concentration camps, particularly those in Germany itself, were “Death Camps,” but not for long. On this question the American historian Professor Harry Elmer Barnes wrote, “These camps were first presented as those in Germany, such as Dachau, Belsen, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and Dora, but it was soon demonstrated that there had been no systematic extermination in those camps. Attention was then moved to Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, Jonowska, Tarnow, Ravensbruck, Mauthausen, Brezeznia and Birkenau, which does not exhaust the list that appears to have been extended as needed.”
What had happened was that certain honest observers among the British & American occupation forces in Germany, while admitting that many camp inmates had died of disease & starvation in the final months of the war, had found no evidence after all of “gas chambers.”
As a result, eastern camps in the Russian zone of occupation, such as Auschwitz & Treblinka, gradually came to the fore as horrific centers of “extermination”, though no one was permitted to see them. This tendency has lasted almost to the present day.
Here in these camps it was all supposed to have happened, but with the Iron Curtain brought down firmly over them it was difficult to verify such charges. The Communists claimed that four million people died at Auschwitz in gigantic gas chambers accommodating 2,000 people, and no one could argue to the contrary.
THE LEUCHTER REPORT
In 1984 in Toronto, Canada, German-born publisher, Ernst Zundel, distributed his own edition of the pamphlet, “Did Six Million Really Die?”, and sent copies out to Canadian Members of Parliament; members of the clergy; journalists and broadcasters. A year later he was subsequently put on trial and sentenced to 15 months imprisonment followed by automatic deportation, after a Jewish complaint under an obscure law prohibiting the publication of “false news”.
This sentence was passed even though both the defense and the prosecution agreed that the bulk of “Did Six Million Really Die?” was correct and only small points were in dispute.
“The Leuchter Report” was actually commissioned by Ernst Zundel, to act in his defense, after his 1985 conviction was overturned by the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1987, and a retrial was ordered to commence in January, 1988.
In February 1988, the first forensic examination of the alleged execution gas chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, was conducted by Fred Leuchter and subsequently published as “The Leuchter Report”.
Fred Leuchter, was an engineer who specializes in the design & fabrication of execution hardware used in prisons throughout the United States. One of his projects was the design of a new gas chamber at the Missouri State Penitentiary at Jefferson City.
In essence Fred Leuchter took samples from the walls of the alleged gas chambers and also from the walls of the de-lousing chambers so he could compare the claim that rather than Zyklon B being used to gas inmates of the various camps, it was actually used to de-louse the inmates clothing of lice in order to prevent outbreaks of typhus.
Leuchter’s results were overwhelming. He could find no trace of Zyklon B in the walls of the alleged gas chambers, yet it was overwhelmingly prevalent in the walls of the de-lousing chambers where the inmates’ clothing was cleaned of lice.
The Leuchter Report concludes, “After reviewing all the material and inspecting all of the sites at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, your author finds the evidence overwhelming; there were no execution gas chambers at any of these locations. It is the best engineering opinion of this author that the alleged gas chambers at the inspected sites could not have been, or now, be utilized or seriously considered to function as execution gas chambers.”
Despite Fred Leuchter’s neutral position in questioning the official version of the “Holocaust” and his evidence based upon the exact science of forensic chemistry, Ernst Zundel was once again found guilty, albeit this time he was given a nine month sentence as opposed to the 15 month one he was given previously. He was granted bail after signing a “gag order”, promising not to write or speak about the “Holocaust”.
In 2003, Ernst Zundel was arrested at his quiet home in the mountain region of eastern Tennessee. U.S. authorities seized him on the pretext that he had violated immigration regulations, or had missed an interview date with US immigration authorities, even though he had entered the US legally, was married to an American citizen, had no criminal record, and was acting diligently, and in full accord with the law, to secure status as a permanent legal resident.
After being held for two weeks, he was deported to Canada. For two years he was held in solitary confinement in the Toronto West Detention Centre as a supposed threat to national security.
In 2005, Zundel was deported to Germany, just as Jewish groups had been demanding. Upon his arrival at Frankfurt airport, he was immediately arrested and taken to Mannheim prison to await trial for the “thought crime” of “denying the Holocaust.”
A few months later, the public prosecutor in Mannheim formally charged Zundel with inciting “hatred” by having written or distributed texts that “approve, deny or play down” genocidal actions carried out by Germany’s wartime regime, and which “denigrate the memory of the (Jewish) dead.” .
Zundel’s three-month trial concluded in 2007, when a court in Mannheim sentenced him to five years imprisonment for the crime of “popular incitement” under Germany’s notorious “Holocaust denial” statute. The court upheld efforts by German authorities to punish individuals for writings that are legal in the country (Canada) where they are published. Jewish groups quickly, and predictably, expressed approval of the verdict.
Zundel was released from prison in 2010. Banned from returning to either Canada or the United States, he went to his family home in Germany’s Black Forest region, where he resided until his death.
Meanwhile, Fred Leuchter was also “persecuted” & blacklisted by promoters of the Holohoax. In 1991, he was arrested & jailed in Germany for giving an anti-Holocaust lecture for Günther Deckert, a well-known political party leader. Leuchter was allowed out on bail. He returned to the U.S. and chose not to go back to Germany to stand trial. Nonetheless, he lost his livelihood as a result.
The Allied Committee of Inquiry has to date proven that no poison gas was ever used to kill prisoners in the following concentration camps… Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Flossenburg, Gross-Rosen, Mauthausen, and satellite camps.. Natzweller, Neuengamme, Niederhagen, Ravensbruck, Sachsenhausen, Stutthoff, Theresienstadt. In all cases where gassings were alleged, it could be proven that torture was used to extract confessions, and witnesses have lied. Any former inmate who, during their debriefing continues to allege that Poison gas was used to murder people, in particular Jews, are to be reported to this office, and if they insist on lying further, they are to be charged with perjury.” – Major Miller, Commanding Officer Allied Military Police Vienna
Note: In a 1985 court case, Dr. William Lindsey testified under oath that the Auschwitz gassing story is physically impossible. Based on his careful examination of the alleged gas chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, and on his years of experience, he declared, “I have come to the conclusion that no one was willfully or purposefully killed with Zyklon B in this manner. I consider it absolutely impossible.”
Note: When American & British forces overran Western & Central Germany in the spring of 1945, they were followed by troops charged with discovering and securing any evidence of German war crimes. Among them was Dr. Charles Larson, one of America’s leading forensic pathologists, who was assigned to the US Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Department. As part of a US War Crimes Investigation Team, Dr. Larson performed autopsies at Dachau and some twenty other German camps, examining on some days more than 100 corpses. After his grim work at Dachau, he was questioned for three days by US Army prosecutors. In a 1980 newspaper interview Dr. Larson confirmed that there “never was a case of poison gas uncovered.”
FINAL FORENSIC NAIL IN THE COFFIN – AUSCHWITZ STORY
Germar Rudolf was born on October 29, 1964, in Limburg, Germany. He studied chemistry at Bonn University, where he graduated in 1989 as a Diplom-Chemist. From 1990-1993, he prepared a PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart. Parallel to this and in his spare time, Rudolf re-examined Auschwitz, Birkenau and other installations and buildings, testing brick and mortar samples of delousing chambers & alleged “gas chambers” for traces of Zyklon B.
Following the pioneering work of Fred Leuchter, Germar put the final forensic nail into the coffin of the Auschwitz story with his 1993 expert report, The Rudolf Report, which proved the “Holocaust” to be a Holohoax. Even though this book on Auschwitz was scientific in nature and utterly apolitical, Rudolf’s home & office were raided three times; his computers & papers seized.
In 1994 & 1995 he was charged and tried in Germany for his expert report. As a scientist, he found the “gassing” claims to be scientifically untenable. Rudolf was found guilty and convicted to 14 month imprisonment. As a result, the University of Stuttgart denied him to pass his final PhD exam.
Rudolf tried to avoid serving this prison term by going into British exile with his young wife and two babies. There he started a small revisionist outlet for German language material, Castle Hill Publishers, and VHO.org, a multilingual website, which within a few years outgrew other revisionist websites by size & traffic. In early 1999, due to the permanent persecutorial pressure, his wife filed for divorce and returned to Germany with their two babies.
When Germany wanted to have Rudolf extradited from Britain in 1999, he fled to the United States, where he applied for political asylum. While his case wound its way through the U.S. legal system, Rudolf expanded his publishing activities into English language material, for instance by launching the ambitious “Holocaust Handbook Series” [linked at the top of this article].
In 2004 Rudolf married again, this time a U.S. citizen, and soon became the father of a young baby daughter. Immediately after this marriage was recognized as genuine by the U.S. Immigration Services in October 2005, and at a time when a hearing of his asylum case was just being scheduled by a U.S. Federal Court, the U.S. government had Rudolf arrested and deported to Germany.
Hence, his asylum hearing which took place in absentia a few months later was nothing but a farce. In Germany, Rudolf was duly arrested and put on trial again for his revisionist publishing activities abroad. Although Rudolf’s activities had been perfectly legal both in the United Kingdom and the United States, Germany nevertheless applied German censorship laws and sentenced Rudolf to another 30 months imprisonment.
On July 5, 2009, Rudolf was released from prison. After a legal battle against the U.S. government lasting almost two years, Rudolf finally succeeded in obtaining an immigrant visa for the U.S. He has been reunited with his wife & daughter since August, 2011.
Note: In 1995, one of France’s most influential & respected magazines, L’Express, acknowledged that “everything is false” about the Auschwitz “gas chamber” that for decades has been shown to tens of thousands of tourists yearly.
Note: On page 541 of (Jewish historian) Olga Wormser-Migot’s thesis on the system of National Socialists concentration camps, there is a passage on the “gas chambers”. There, the reader will find three additional surprises. According to Olga, the “problem” lies in attempting to determine whether the “gas chambers” at Ravensbrück (Germany) & Mauthausen (Austria) ever existed; she concludes that they didn’t.
GAS CHAMBERS WERE NOT CREMATORIES
Stephen F. Pinter, who served as a lawyer for the United States War Department in the occupation forces in Germany & Austria for six years after the war, made an astonishing statement in the widely read Catholic magazine, Our Sunday Visitor, on June 14, 1959.
Pinter admitted, “I was in Dachau for 17 months after the war, as a U.S. War Department Attorney, and can state that there was no gas chamber at Dachau. What was shown to visitors & sightseers there and erroneously described as a ‘gas chamber’ was a crematory. Nor was there a gas chamber in any of the other concentration camps in Germany. We were told that there was a gas chamber at Auschwitz, but since that was in the Russian zone of occupation, we were not permitted to investigate since the Russians would not allow it. From what I was able to determine during six postwar years in Germany & Austria, there were a number of Jews killed, but the figure of a million was certainly never reached. I interviewed thousands of Jews, former inmates of concentration camps in Germany and Austria and consider myself as well qualified as any man on this subject.”
Pinter tells a very different story from the customary propaganda. He is very astute on the question of the crematory being represented as a chamber. This is a frequent ploy because no such thing as a “gas chamber” has ever been shown to exist in these camps, hence the deliberately misleading term “gas oven”, aimed at confusing a gas chamber with a crematorium. The latter, usually single furnace and similar to the kind of thing employed today, were used quite simply for the cremation of those persons who had died from various natural causes within the camp, particularly infectious diseases.
This fact was conclusively proved by the German arch bishop Faulhaber of Munich. He informed the Americans that during the Allied air raid on Munich, in September 1944, 30,000 people were killed. The archbishop requested the authorities at the time to cremate the bodies, but was told that, unfortunately, this plan could not be carried out; the crematorium, having only one furnace, was not able to cope with the many bodies of the air raid victims.
Clearly, therefore, the crematorium could not have coped with the 238,000 Jewish bodies which were allegedly cremated there. In order to do so, the crematorium would have to be kept going for 326 years without stopping and 530 tons of ashes would have been recovered.
The figures of Dachau casualties are typical of the kind of exaggerations that have since been drastically revised. In 1946, a memorial plaque was unveiled at Dachau by Philip Auerbach, the Jewish State-Secretary in the Bavarian Government who was convicted for embezzling money, which he claimed as compensation for non-existent Jews. The plaque read, “This area is being retained as a shrine to the 238,000 individuals who were cremated here.”
Since then, the official casualty figures of Dachau have had to be steadily revised downwards, and now stand at only 20,600; the majority, from typhus & starvation only at the end of the war.
Note: Dachau was one the first concentration camp set up soon after the National Socialists came to power. These first camps were in reality large prisons to which inmates had been sentenced by the ordinary criminal courts to fixed terms of imprisonment. Membership in the Communist Party was a frequent criminal offense. Jews were largely involved in communist activities, and were imprisoned accordingly.
Over the past 77 years, we Palestinians have faced an absurd type of multilayered injustice,unspeakable barbarity, chronic brutality,and compounded oppression with a twist.
* We are the only oppressed group who are vilified, condemned and labelled as terrorists, for merely existing.
We are the wronged, named as oppressors, the scorned named as haters, the slaughtered named as criminals, the dispossessed named as villains, we are the murdered named as the killers.
* We are the only oppressed group who are not allowed to identify or name their oppressor.
We cannot call the spade a spade and say “Jews occupy our land” despite the fact that the only criteria that enables any human to come from any corner around the globe to settle in our land is their Jewishness.
We cannot say “Jews are killing us” despite the fact that every single one of the occupiers is Jewish, every fallen bomb is dropped by a Jewish pilot, every bullet is shot by the hand of a Jewish soldier who pulled the trigger,every genocidal policy is drawn by a Jewish commander who gave the orders.
Yet the only word we are allowed to identify as our oppressor is “Zionism”, a conceptual shadowy word with no connection to real people who commit real Crimes Against Humanity around the clock.
Zionism did not drop 100,000 tons of explosives over Gaza killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of innocent souls. People who identify as Jewish did.
* We are the only oppressed group who aremanipulated to grief for and bemoan the alleged suffering of their oppressor before their own, otherwise we are shunned and blacklisted as “holocaust deniers”
Our persistent suffering is secondary,diminished by the“eternal victimhood“ of our occupiers. Our pain is peripheral, dwarfed in comparison to theirs andvalidated only by the magnitude of our reverence to the “unique suffering“ of our oppressors
* We are the only oppressed group who are demanded to:
– Gratefully consent to the theft of their historic homeland, – Gracefully lay down their only means of survival, their resistance
– Respectfully grant legitimacy to those whose aim is to exterminate them, – Obediently protect the security of those from whom they saw nothing but savagery and barbarity – Humbly guarantee a permanent presence and a prosperous future for those whose very ideology views the other with utter contempt as mere “animals, created only to serve them” and calls for their annihilation.
* We are the only oppressed group who are forbidden to discuss or ask questions about the ideology of their oppressorswho claim to be the “chosen” above all others and that “God gave them the land”.
* We are the only oppressed group who are barred from investigating the extended tentacles of their oppressors, namely theextent of power and roleof the global Jewish lobby in supporting and maintaining the regime that caused and maintained our Nakba for eight decades, under the pretext that there are some Jews who are against it.
As if all that is not enough, even as we get slaughtered, maimed, starved and eradicated, with our babies shredded to pieces we are still expectedto watch our words and not to ever offend or hurt the feelings of our oppressors otherwise we aredefamedas “hateful antisemites”.
Is it any wonder that our Nakba is still raging, eight decades and counting!
Israel is aggressively implementing plans to shape Palestine’s future and the broader region, sculpting its vision for the ‘day after’ its genocide in Gaza.
The latest, bizarre iteration of this strategy proposes fragmenting the occupied West Bank into so-called ’emirates,’ starting with the ’emirate of Hebron.’
This unexpected twist in Israel’s protracted search for alternative Palestinian leadership first surfaced in the staunchly pro-Israeli US newspaper, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). It then quickly dominated all Israeli media.
The report details a letter from a person identified by The WSJ as “the leader of Hebron’s most influential clan.” Addressed to Nir Barakat, Jerusalem’s former Israeli mayor, the letter from Sheikh Wadee’ al-Jaabari appeals for “cooperation with Israel” in the name of “co-existence.”
This “co-existence,” according to the “clan leader”, would materialise in the “Emirate of Hebron.” This “emirate” would “recognize the State of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people,” in exchange for reciprocal recognition of the “Emirate of Hebron as the Representative of the Arab residents in the Hebron District.”
The story may seem perplexing. This is because Palestinian discourse, regardless of geography or political affiliation, has never entertained such an absurd concept as united West Bank “emirates.”
Another element of absurdity is that Palestinian national identity and pride in their people’s unwavering resilience, especially in Gaza, are at an unprecedented apex. To float such clan-based alternatives to legitimate Palestinian leadership seems ill-conceived and is destined to fail.
Israel’s desperation is palpable. In Gaza, it cannot defeat Hamas and other Palestinian factions who have resisted the Israeli takeover of the Strip for 21 months. All attempts to engineer an alternative Palestinian leadership there have utterly collapsed.
This failure has compelled Israel to arm and fund a criminal gang that operated before 7 October 2023, in Gaza. This gang functions under the command of Yasser Abu Shabab.
The gang has been implicated in a litany of violent activities. These include hijacking humanitarian aid to perpetuate famine in Gaza and orchestrating violence associated with aid distribution, among other egregious crimes.
Like the clan leader of Hebron, the Abu Shabab criminal gang possesses no legitimacy and no public support among Palestinians. But why would Israel resort to such disreputable figures when the Palestinian Authority (PA), already engaged in “security coordination” with Israel in the West Bank, is ostensibly willing to comply?
The answer lies in the current Israeli extremist government’s adamant refusal to acknowledge Palestinians as a nation. Thus, even a collaborating Palestinian nationalist entity would be deemed problematic from an Israeli perspective.
While Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is not the first Israeli leadership to explore clan-based alternatives among Palestinians, the Israeli prime minister and his extremist allies are exceptionally determined to dismantle any Palestinian claim to nationhood. This was explicitly stated by extremist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. He famously declared in Paris, in March 2023, that a Palestinian nation is an “invention.”
Thus, despite the PA’s willingness to cooperate with Israel in controlling Gaza, Israel remains apprehensive. Empowering the PA as a nationalist model fundamentally contravenes Israel’s overarching objectives of denying the Palestinian people their very claim to nationhood and, consequently, statehood and sovereignty.
Though Israel has consistently failed to establish and sustain its own alternative Palestinian leadership, its repeated efforts have invariably proven disruptive and violent.
Prior to the Nakba of 1948, the Zionist movement, alongside British authorities colonizing Palestine, heavily invested in undermining the Arab Higher Committee, a nationalist body comprising several political parties. They achieved this by empowering collaborating clans, hoping to dilute the Palestinian nationalist movement.
When Israel occupied the remainder of historic Palestine in 1967, it reverted to the same divide-and-conquer tactics. For instance, it established a Palestinian police force directly commanded by Israeli military administrations, in addition to creating an underground network of collaborators.
Following the overwhelming victory of nationalist candidates in the 1976 elections in occupied Palestine, Israel responded by cracking down on PLO-affiliated politicians, arresting, deporting and assassinating some.
Two years later, in 1978, it launched its ‘Village Leagues’ project. It hand-picked compliant traditional figures, designating them as the legitimate representatives of Palestinians.
These individuals, armed, protected and financed by the Israeli occupation army, were positioned to represent their respective clans in Hebron, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Gaza and elsewhere.
Palestinians immediately denounced them as collaborators. They were widely boycotted and socially ostracised.
Eventually, it became evident that Israel had no alternative but to engage directly with the PLO. This culminated in the Oslo Accords in 1993 and the subsequent formation of the PA.
The fundamental problem, however, persisted: the PA’s insistence on a Palestinian state remains anathema to an Israel that has shifted dramatically to the right.
This explains the Netanyahu regime’s unwavering insistence that the PA has no role in Gaza in any ‘day after’ scenario. While the PA could serve Israel’s interest in containing the rebellious Strip, such a triumph would inevitably recenter the discussion of a Palestinian state—a concept repugnant to most Israelis.
There is no doubt that neither the Abu Shabab gang nor the Hebron emirate will govern Palestinians, either in Gaza or the West Bank. Israel’s insistence on fabricating these alternatives, however, underscores its historic determination to deny Palestinians any sense of nationhood.
Israel’s persistent fantasies of control invariably fail. Despite their profound wounds, Palestinians are more unified than ever, their collective identity and nationhood hardened by relentless resistance and countless sacrifices.
Israel, with its small population, has a socially and politically fragile structure due to its different minority groups. The fact that Arabs are the largest minority group has led Israel to establish more careful relations with other groups and to try to strengthen the ties between these minorities and Jewish elements. In this context, Israel’s relations with the Druze, its efforts to integrate them into society, and how this group is used as a political lever should be examined.
There are approximately 150,000 Druze in Israel; they live mainly in the Carmel, Galilee, and Golan regions. Druze, which emerged in Egypt in the 11th century, is seen as a common interpretation of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. The Druze, who do not intermarry with other religious groups, have a very closed social structure. The exact number of Druze is unknown, but today they live as a small minority group in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.
The Druze are being integrated into Israeli society
After the Ottoman Empire withdrew from Palestine, Zionist leaders sought to establish close relations with the Druze in order to benefit from their support in the process of establishing a state. These leaders positioned the Druze as a group distinct from the Arabs and attempted to gain the support of this minority by claiming that there was a religious connection between them.
Although a paramilitary alliance between Jews and Druze began in the late 1930s, it cannot be said that this alliance encompassed the entire Druze minority. This is because part of this minority participated in the Arab uprising that began in 1936 and then fought against the Jews in 1948.
Israel, given its demographic structure, sought to strengthen its ties with small minority groups other than Arabs. The state’s policies and privileges toward the Druze were intended to separate this community from the Arab community and bring it closer to the Jewish community. In this context, the Druze were defined as a separate nationality in 1962 and separated from their Arab identity. This situation has created a perception that the Druze are favoured both in state institutions and in Jewish society. In addition, in 1976, a separate Druze education sector was established to protect the Druze culture, and this community was made subject to compulsory military service.
Israel applied this policy against the Palestinian Druze and, after occupying the Golan Heights, also applied it to the Syrian Druze. After occupying the Golan, Israel forced a large part of the 130,000-strong population to migrate, while allowing 6,396 Druze to remain in the region, adopting a moderate approach similar to that toward the Palestinian Druze in order to separate them from the Arabs. However, the Syrian Druze did not respond in kind to Israel’s policy. Although they did not like the Syrian regime, they continued to see themselves as part of Syria and dreamed of becoming part of Syria again.
Role of the army in establishing special relations with the Druze
In Israel, the army is seen as an institution that unites different segments of society. The army serves to strengthen the ties between the state and both Jews who have immigrated to Israel and minority groups who are drafted into military service. In particular, members of minority groups who serve in the military are viewed with a certain degree of respect by the Jewish community. Therefore, the conscription of the Druze minority has been part of Israel’s policy to integrate them into Jewish society. After October 2023, many Druze soldiers served in the Israeli army that entered Gaza, and more than 430 Druze lost their lives as a result of Hamas attacks.
In response to Israel’s policy of separating the Druze from the Arabs and integrating them into Jewish society, Druze leaders have also been receptive to serving in the army in order to gain certain advantages. Through this approach, Druze leaders hoped to overcome structural issues such as insufficient investment in Arab and Druze villages and employment problems resulting from the state’s institutional discrimination.
Israel lifts the veil of institutionalised discrimination against Druze
Despite the Israeli government’s policy toward the Druze, they continue to face discrimination from the Jewish community. Although the Druze sought to escape discrimination by serving in the army, they reported that they were subjected to discrimination by the Jewish community after leaving military service. Indeed, Druze Member of Parliament Said Nafaa said, “We hoped that serving in the army would give us equal rights with other Israelis. However, we soon discovered that this was an illusion.” For this reason, some Druze men today refuse to enter military service. For example, although Druze do not face problems in terms of education, most encounter difficulties in finding employment. Additionally, Druze who wish to live in Jewish areas are required to pay above-average rent. These and similar problems faced by the Druze do not currently pose a security threat in Israel. However, if Israel does not improve its policy toward the Druze, there is a possibility that the Druze could become a security threat by separating themselves from Jewish society. Israel’s latest move to address this issue has been the approval of a five-year plan worth $1.1 billion to solve the housing problem of the Druze minority living in the north of the country.
Israel’s intention to use the Druze as leverage in Syria
Just as it did during its occupation of the Golan Heights, Israel is currently attempting to intervene in areas of Syria with a high Druze population. On the one hand, Israel is inciting the Druze population in the region against the new Syrian government, while on the other hand, it is attempting to gain their support by offering them certain opportunities. In this context, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz recently announced that Syrian Druze would soon be allowed to enter the country for work purposes. In addition, during the recent tensions in the Druze neighbourhood of Cermana in Damascus, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered to send military forces to Cermana to protect the Druze. However, the Druze rejected this offer. In the recent events in Suwayda, Israel launched attacks on the Syrian army to support the Druze in their conflict with the Syrian army. Israel wants to use the Druze in Syria for its own strategic purposes, just as it has done with the Druze in Palestine, by offering them various opportunities. Thus, Israel, which sees stability in Syria as a threat to its interests, is stirring up the Druze issue that has arisen in the new Syria and supporting the Druze in order to destabilise the region and prepare it for its own occupation.
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu geared up for what was intended as a triumphant visit to Washington, commencing on Monday, 7 July 2025, Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades in Beit Hanoun were meticulously preparing their own stark counter-narrative. On the very inaugural day of the Israeli leader’s high-stakes diplomatic trip, the battalion launched a devastating strike, inflicting significant casualties on Israeli soldiers. The Israeli army, notorious for obfuscating its military losses, begrudgingly acknowledged five soldiers killed and 14 wounded, some critically.
This audacious operation, coupled with numerous others across both northern and southern Gaza, offered an undeniable truth: Israel’s utter inability to secure any segment of the Strip. This failure undermines its proclaimed intent to establish control over the genocide-stricken territory, seemingly as a prelude to forcibly displacing the entire population, first to Rafah in the south, and ultimately, towards Egypt.
Netanyahu may possess a sharp political cunning, yet his acumen primarily serves his personal survival as a politician. It demonstrably fails to harness politics for the genuine good of his nation, let alone for global stability. He might project an image of eloquence, but this perceived mastery of words often flourishes only because he remains largely unchallenged within his customary political circles.
Consider, for instance, this pronouncement he uttered on July 6, 2025, just hours before his flight to Washington:
“Our joint involvement brought a great victory over our mutual enemy – Iran. Iran has dedicated itself, for years, to our destruction, and for years, we had apprehensions: What should we do about Iran? Would we be able to take on Iran? And now, our heroic pilots flew in the skies of Iran, and the IDF did wonders, along with the Mossad and all other security branches…”
Stripped of critical context, this self-congratulatory declaration implies an earth-shattering event poised to fundamentally alter “the face of the Middle East,” a favored refrain of Netanyahu’s. Yet, beyond the relentless and baseless claims of having decisively defeated Iran – a narrative utterly devoid of credibility among sober political analysts – mere hours later, Palestinians in Gaza, enduring over 639 days of a relentless and internationally recognized genocide, delivered an undeniable message: Israel cannot even subjugate Beit Hanoun.
What, then, is Beit Hanoun?
In essence, this small town, encompassing an approximate area of 12.5 square kilometers (4.8 square miles), persists merely as a geographic marker and a name. It has been almost entirely obliterated, its entire pre-war population, estimated at around 60,000 residents, wholly displaced.
Owing to its perilous proximity to the Israeli border, often as close as 1.5 kilometers (approximately 1 mile), Beit Hanoun has been a primary target in nearly all of Israel’s prior aggressions against Gaza. It bore a disproportionately heavier burden of destruction compared to other Palestinian areas, dating back as early as 2004, 2006, and 2014.
However, the latest war and genocide have left virtually no building intact; some structures have been bombed repeatedly, rendering the entire area a haunting tableau of charred devastation. Indeed, numerous charred remains of victims still lie in the streets of Beit Hanoun or entombed beneath its vast rubble to this day.
Adding profound insult to grievous injury, the city was literally branded with the Star of David. In January 2025, chilling satellite imagery starkly revealed a giant Star of David carved into what was once fertile farmland in Beit Hanoun. Historically, alongside Beit Lahia and other eastern regions, the town constituted a vital segment of Gaza’s food basket – a role that became acutely critical during the two decades of suffocating Israeli siege.
Though much of this crucial agricultural land had already been appropriated by the Israeli army as ‘military zones,’ it still managed to somewhat stave off outright famine. Thus, the deliberate destruction of Beit Hanoun fundamentally equates to a deliberate assault on Gaza’s very capacity for survival.
Yet, Beit Hanoun simply refuses to die. On the contrary, it persists as one of the most active and formidable fronts for the Palestinian Resistance, posing one of the most perplexing military quandaries for the Israeli army. This defiance occurs despite Israel’s state-of-the-art killing technology, overwhelming troop numbers, and a seemingly endless supply chain, courtesy of Uncle Sam’s boundless generosity.
When Israel initiated its full-scale ground offensive on Gaza on 27 October 2023, it commenced precisely in Beit Hanoun. Astonishingly, it took the Resistance merely three days – between 27 October and 1 November – to discern the tactics of the invading Israeli army and adapt accordingly.
On 1 November, Al-Qassam declared it had decimated four Israeli Merkava tanks and armored vehicles using Yasin 105 anti-tank rocket-propelled grenades, followed by the precision targeting of an Israeli soldier gathering with a quadcopter drone. On 11 November, the Israeli army itself reluctantly admitted to the killing of four soldiers and the wounding of others in a booby-trapped tunnel in Beit Hanoun. The Resistance further asserted it had detonated an anti-personnel improvised explosive device (IED) targeting Israeli forces occupying a civilian home in the area.
Numerous other operations followed, each as lethal and sophisticated as its predecessors. It became terrifyingly evident that the more destruction the Israeli army wrought upon Beit Hanoun, the more fiercely and resiliently its resistance emerged. Desperate for a conclusive victory, the Israeli army brazenly declared on 18 December 2023, that it had “dismantled” the Al-Qassam battalions in the town. Consequently, its war tactics in the area supposedly shifted from a full-scale invasion to “holding operations,” predicated on the false premise that the Israeli army was now in “full control.”
That, too, proved to be another pipedream. The Israeli army was repeatedly forced to withdraw from Beit Hanoun as Palestinian fighters, expertly utilizing previously excavated tunnels – and possibly newly dug ones – infiltrated back into their ravaged town. They ingeniously leveraged the very mass destruction inflicted by the Israeli army to their strategic advantage, turning the urban wasteland into a complex battlefield.
The deadly 7 July attack on Israeli forces marked the 639th day since the war’s inception on 7 October 2023. This operation unequivocally signaled Israel’s failure, not only to occupy the town definitively, but also to truly conquer any part of Gaza. Beit Hanoun is, in essence, a microcosm of Gaza’s undefeated, and arguably undefeatable, nature.
And like every sacred piece of land in Gaza and throughout Palestine, the history of Beit Hanoun predates the very existence of Israel by millennia. Beit Hanoun, an ancient settlement, is believed to have been founded by a pagan king named Hanoun. Archaeological findings in the area testify to both ancient constructions and uninterrupted habitation across countless epochs.
It was there, just west of Beit Hanoun, that the Ayyubids famously vanquished the Crusaders at the Battle of Umm al-Nasser hill in 1239. To commemorate that pivotal victory, a mosque was consecrated bearing the battle’s name. Tragically, this very mosque, the revered Umm al-Naser Mosque, was obliterated by Israel in November 2023, with news of its destruction confirmed in January the following year.
If the human spirit were merely quantifiable by stones and concrete, Beit Hanoun would have been meticulously erased from both existence and memory long ago. The human spirit, however, can only be truly measured by the unyielding steadfastness of a people’s collective will. As clever as he may perceive himself to be, neither Netanyahu nor his formidable, US-backed army will ever manage to defeat this ancient Palestinian town, nor Gaza, nor the indomitable Palestinian people themselves. If history has bequeathed us any certain lesson, it is precisely this.
David N. Gibbs is a professor of history at the University of Arizona. Prof. Gibbs outlines how the US fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and then the Yugoslav Wars laid the foundation for the illusion of the good war.
“Britain uses its ‘little loyal Jewish Ulster’ to do its bidding in the region.”
For decades, some self-professed ‘anti-Zionist Jews’ have sought to diminish and divert attention away from Zionist entryism, subversion and penetration of other polities (an essential Zionist tactic since the ideology’s inception). This is explicitly aimed at guarding Jewish supremacism, and at censoring the study or understanding of Zionism, using accusations of ‘antisemitism’ in order to aggressively police any curiosity about Zionist tactics and the Jewish supremacist beliefs that underlie them.
In order to force leftists and others away from examining or discussing Jewish supremacism, some self-professed ‘anti-Zionist Jews’ paint Zionism as purely the product of British imperialism. The aim is to minimise Jewish culpability for Zionism, even sometimes going so far as to say that Zionism was invented entirely by atheists who worked hand in glove with the British Empire. These are, to put it mildly, egregious deceptions, and anyone falling for them is a naïf.
Zionism is an imperialist ideology in its own right, with global ambitions. The fact that Zionists have been involved in engineering separatist movements in Sudanese and Somali territory; or in subverting elections in Argentina and Brazil; or cultivating Hindutvadi footsoldiers who have a global footprint, has nothing to do with US or British Empire. No Brit or American forced Jewish supremacists to take any of these actions, or made them genocide the Levant.
This outdated, limited and deeply immature understanding of Zionism is a sign of two disturbing phenomena:
(1) the increasing grip that faulty leftist thinking about Zionism — itself the product of propaganda seeded by Jewish Zionist leftists — is now taking in Muslim communities, and
(2) a complete failure to recognise that we are in a new imperial reality, in which previously sub-imperial powers now act with much more latitude than they have ever had before. The State of Israel is not alone in this. Its major ally the UAE, which has traditionally been perceived as a British and then US vassal, has been acting much more independently since 2010, attempting to establish its own lines of power amounting to a proto-empire, leveraging mercenaries, shipping, trade, lobbying and subversion, propaganda and finance capital to build a power base that is not reliant either on the US or UK.
If one understands that Zionists have been shaping British policy for over a century, one should naturally ask: “What tactics were used to do that?”. And then “why were/are those tactics necessary?”.
Today, the State of Israel is by far a net liability for the British state. There is a vast political, media, military and financial infrastructure designed to obscure that reality but also to punish anyone with power who might point that out or act upon that reality.
A shocking new peer-reviewed study has just confirmed that so-called “long Covid” is actually a side effect of the mRNA “vaccines” and not the virus.
The explosive study has just detonated one of the biggest lies of the pandemic era, revealing that neurological and psychiatric symptoms blamed on “long Covid” are now showing up in people who were never even infected with the virus, but who were heavily “vaccinated.”
The team of researchers behind the study was led by Dr. Yi-Chun Chen of the Department of Neurology at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Linkou Medical Center and College of Medicine at Taiwan’s Chang Gung University.
The results of the peer-reviewed study were published in the world-renowned Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection.
The study confirms what critics of the shots have warned all along: It is not the virus causing long-term health issues but the so-called “vaccines” themselves.
Researchers examined 467 healthcare workers at a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan.
Every single participant had received at least three doses of Covid shots, some even had four, before the Omicron wave hit.
Despite the participants receiving mixed combinations of Covid “vaccines,” they all received at least one mRNA injection.
The results show that hundreds reported classic “long Covid” symptoms: memory loss, brain fog, depression, fatigue, and anxiety.
Alarmingly, 222 of the “long Covid” patients had never been infected with COVID-19 at all.
“No statistically significant differences in neurological and psychiatric symptoms across the COVID-19 status groups,” the study authors quietly admitted.
The so-called “long Covid” symptoms appeared regardless of infection.
The only common factor was that they all received repeated “vaccinations.”
The researchers note that what was originally believed to be “long Covid” is actually “Post-Vaccine Syndrome” (PVS).
The symptoms reported included:
Memory decline
Trouble concentrating
Sleep disturbances
Anxiety
Depression
Chronic fatigue
Cognitive dysfunction
Even those with no positive Covid test, no symptoms, and no anti-nucleoprotein antibodies (clear signs they were never infected) reported fatigue in over 30% of cases, and nearly 10% had trouble concentrating.
One in nine uninfected, triple-vaxxed participants experienced worsening memory over time.
And yet, despite these glaring red flags, the authors never even considered that the shots themselves might be responsible.
The term “vaccine injury” never appears once in the 11-page paper.
That’s not science, it’s damage control.
This new study drops just as fresh reports confirm the NIH has funded researchers to create over 200 synthetic versions of the virus using gain-of-function-style engineering.
The revelation is raising obvious questions about what caused the original outbreak and what new threats lie ahead.
Meanwhile, a recent publication in the JMA Journal linked repeated Covid “vaccination” to excess mortality in Japan, as Slay Newsreported.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now admitting that young, healthy people face heightened risks of myocarditis and heart inflammation from mRNA shots.
Still, health bureaucrats and corporate media continue to push the tired, unscientific “safe and effective” narrative.
All 467 workers in the Taiwan study received mix-and-match combinations of:
Pfizer (mRNA)
Moderna (mRNA)
AstraZeneca (viral vector)
Medigen (protein subunit)
Yet no matter the brand, the outcome was the same: brain and nervous system symptoms without any confirmed infection.
This is what they continue to call “long Covid.”
Yet, what we are seeing looks more and more like a rebranding of widespread “vaccine” injury.
If you can develop “long Covid” without being infected with the virus, then it’s not “long Covid.”
If vaccinated but uninfected individuals are showing the same symptoms, then the “vaccines” demand scrutiny, not blind praise.
And if researchers continue to tiptoe around these facts to protect Big Pharma and government agencies, then the injured, gaslit, and ignored public will be left holding the bag.
As Slay News previously reported, experts have been raising the alarm about the PVS phenomenon for some time.
Scientists have been warning that Covid mRNA shots have caused a global surge in cases of AIDS-like autoimmunity disorders.
A major study by the world-renowned Yale University School of Medicine also linked Covid injections to AIDS-like Vaccine-Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (VAIDS).
The Yale researchers published the findings of their bombshell study in February.
They found that mRNA injections alter human biology to create long-term spike protein production that increases over time.
The scientists warn that the Covid mRNA vaccines trigger VAIDS.
Two of the Yale study’s co-senior authors, Harlan Krumholz and Akiko Iwasaki, have been leaders in investigating mRNA shots’ links to so-called “Long Covid.”
They believe it should be renamed “Long Vax.”
As the scientific reporting on VAIDS becomes more mainstream, the condition is increasingly being referred to as “post-vaccination syndrome” (PVS).
However, PVS is identical to the condition that experts have been warning about for some time – VAIDS.
These findings demand rigorous independent replication, as they raise urgent questions about diagnosis, treatment, and the safety profile of mRNA “vaccines.”
