“Voter Identity Theft” – Arizona Judge Defines Voter Registration Record, Rules that Mail-In Ballot Signatures Have Been Compared Illegally!

A Yavapai County judge last week ruled in favor of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club and Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections in a recent lawsuit that seeks to prohibit the Arizona Secretary of State from enforcing illegal election procedures relating to mail-in ballot signature verification.

Judge John Napper rejected the Motions to Dismiss filed by Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a former cartel lawyer, and Mi Familia Vota, a Democrat nonprofit. A status conference has been set for Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at 9:00 a.m.

The Judge notes in his order,

“The Court finds the Special Action states claim upon which relief can be granted. The Court finds the Plaintiffs have correctly defined registration record. The 2019 EPM creates a process that contradicts the plain language of A.R.S. §16-550(A). Therefore, this portion of the EPM and the instruction from the Secretary do ‘not have the force of law.'”

This is how they steal elections in Arizona. Hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots are trafficked or inserted with no chain of custody documentation, and someone forges a signature. Sometimes, all it takes is a random scribble on the affidavit.

Under the current Arizona Elections Procedures Manual, when a signature is accepted on a mail-in ballot envelope or a voter uses an in-person polling place touch screen signature log, it is added to the voter’s “registration record” to be used for future reference. Many voters were seen with similar affidavit signatures in consecutive elections that do not match other signatures on their voter registrations or past affidavits. County Recorders just need to cheat consistently with the same bullsh*t signatures.

This new ruling will require voter registration forms to be used for signature verification, as opposed to previously accepted fraudulent mail-in ballots and other signature forms. “Documents are a part of the ‘registration record’ only if they involve the voter’s ‘registration,'” the Judge stated.

The order continues, “Registering to vote is not the same as voting. Applying the plain and obvious meaning of ‘registration,’ the legislature intended for the recorder to attempt to match the signature on the outside of the envelope to the signature on the documents the putative voter used to register.”

Napper concluded, saying, “The language of the statute is clear and unambiguous.”

However, in the last two elections in Maricopa County, hundreds of thousands of signatures were discovered to be “verified” in just a few seconds each. A true comparison of signatures, as required by law, takes much, much longer to do properly. Unscrupulous election employees have been caught not even looking at the signatures. At least one employee simply approved tens of thousands of ballots in a matter of seconds each without looking to verify their accuracy. Mail-in ballots cannot be trusted for free and fair elections.

The Gateway Pundit also reported on an exclusive analysis of a small sample of 2022 election mail-in ballot signatures. Roughly ten percent of the signatures were clear forgeries!

Clinton Judge Says Trump Liable For Defamatory Statements He Made About E. Jean Carroll

Judge Lewis Kaplan, a Clinton appointee, ruled that Trump is liable for defamatory statements he made about E. Jean Carroll after she accused him of rape.

In May Manhattan jury reached a verdict in the E. Jean Carroll rape/defamation case.

In 2019, E. Jean Carroll alleged Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.

Trump has denied the allegations and called E. Jean Carroll a “whack job” who’s “not my type.”

The jury found Trump sexually abused and defamed Carroll and ordered him to pay $5 million in damages.

Trump blasted E. Jean. Carroll during a CNN town hall in May.

“What kind of a woman meets somebody and brings them up and within minutes you’re playing hanky-panky in a dressing room?” Trump said, adding the accusation was a ‘fake’ and ‘made-up story.’

She went after Trump again and Judge Lewis Kaplan agreed with E. Jean Carroll’s lawyers and said Trump is liable for his statements.

The trial will begin on January 15, 2024.

CNBC reported:

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that Donald Trump is liable for defamatory statements he made about the writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when she went public with claims he had raped her decades earlier.

Judge Lewis Kaplan, as part of that ruling, said that the upcoming trial for Carroll’s civil lawsuit against Trump will only deal with the question of how much the former president should pay her in monetary damages for defaming her.

Normally, a jury would determine at trial whether a defendant is liable for civil damages claimed by a plaintiff.

But Kaplan found that Carroll was entitled to a partial summary judgment on the question of Trump’s liability in the case because jurors at a trial in a separate, but related lawsuit in May found that Trump had sexually abused Carroll in a New York department store in the mid-1990s, and had defamed in statements he made as he denied her allegation last fall.

Gun Safe Manufacturer ‘Liberty Safe’ Gives FBI Access Code to a Protestor’s Safe Who Was Arrested at Gunpoint Due to Involvement in January 6th Capitol Event

Liberty Safe, a renowned manufacturer of gun safes, is drawing scrutiny after complying with an FBI request to provide the combination to a safe owned by Nathan Hughes, who was present in the January 6, 2021 Capitol event.

Keith and Kevin Hodge, known as the Hodgetwins or Conservative Twins, broke the news, revealing that their friend Hughes was arrested in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Wednesday, August 30. The duo pointed out the contrast between the treatment of Hughes and the members of groups like BLM and Antifa, questioning the motivations behind such disparate actions.

According to the Hodgetwins, Nathan Hughes was raided by the FBI and arrested at gunpoint over his involvement in the January 6th Capitol event that occurred more than two and a half years ago.

“On the morning of August 30th, 2023, I was swarmed by 3 vehicles of heavily armed FBI agents and arrested with rifles pointed at me. I was booked and taken to a government facility where they made me give them DNA samples,” said Hughes in his GiveSendGo.

At the same time, the FBI raided Hughes’s house and disconnected his security cameras, and disabled his internet. Nathan Hughes’s girlfriend, who had recently suffered a miscarriage, was also held at gunpoint and handcuffed.

Not only did they turn off his security cameras and his internet, but the FBI also called the manufacturer of Hughes’s gun safe. The company willingly provided the safe’s passcode to the FBI after receiving proof of a valid warrant.

“At the same time, my home was raided by 10+ vehicles filled with armed FBI agents. They ordered my girlfriend Taylor out of the house with her hands up and had rifles pointed at her too. They put her in handcuffs, unplugged our home security cameras, and turned our house upside down searching it. A bunch of stuff from electronics to clothes was taken and we can’t find one of our security cams. They called the manufacturer of my Liberty Safe, got the pass code from them, and got into it too. Thank God our dogs weren’t harmed,” said Hughes.

DA Fani Willis EXPOSED in Money Laundering SCANDAL

A stunning investigation has revealed controversial links between Fani Willis and a comprehensive network of election fraud and money laundering. The consequences of her involvement are expected to have major implications on the political arena.

The Mayor of Roselle Park, Joseph Signorello, reportedly launched an ambush on James O’Keefe subsequent to the latter’s exposure of school board officials who had summoned the police on individuals who appeared to be supporters of former US President Donald Trump.

Fulton County Board of Comissioners Denies GOP Nominee Who Brought to Light 20,000 Duplicate Registrations and Filed 10,000 Complaints

Georgia’s Fulton County has come under the national spotlight once again after District Attorney Fani Willis brought racketeering charges against President Trump, Rudy Giulliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis and others. The indictments are over an alleged (and legal) “breach” of election equipment and what she insists are “false” claims of election fraud, among other charges. Some of those charged were simply lawyers representing clients, which is now apparently illegal in Joe Biden’s ‘Amerika’.

Despite the Mockingbird Media’s claims that courts have dismissed all of President Trump and his allies’ claims of election fraud, very few, if any, of the cases actually made it to an evidentiary hearing. Yet, the term “false” and “baseless” is often heralded by the Mockingbird outlets in a misrepresentation of the claimed evidence, similar to their infatuation with the term “insurrection” despite not one single J6er being charged under 18 USC 2383.

The Mockingbird Media once again has deemed themselves the “Arbiters of Truth” despite a long steady record of deceit.

The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly brought to light questions that, in any other industry, would warrant further transparent investigations, such as non-profits working in Fulton County precincts with access to Georgia’s election software on their personal computers, Fulton County admitting to deleting ballot images, or a wild discrepancy in the hand-count audit that was discovered by citizen investigators, referred by Governor Kemp, and resulted in a Consent Agreement entered into by the Fulton County Board of Elections and the State Election Board.

Ruby Franke charged with 4 additional counts of child abuse after arrest

Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, have been charged with four additional counts of aggravated child abuse.

Court documents obtained by Page Six Wednesday show the state of Utah formally filed the additional charges following the “8 Passengers” host’s arrest on Aug. 30.

Franke, who was initially charged with two counts of child abuse, is scheduled to make an initial court appearance on Friday, Sept. 8.

The momfluencer’s lawyer declined to comment.

A press release from the Washington County Attorney’s Office claimed that “each defendant is accused of causing or permitting serious physical injury to the victims in three different ways: (1) a combination of multiple physical injuries or torture, (2) starvation or malnutrition that jeopardizes life, and (3) causing severe emotional harm.”

Police arrested Franke and her ConneXions co-founder last week after one of the YouTube personality’s children escaped through a window and ran to a neighbor’s house for food and water.

The neighbor, who noticed the child was “emaciated” and had duct tape wrapped around their extremities, called police, who then discovered a second child who was malnourished, according to the arrest report.

Both children were transported to a nearby hospital, and Franke and Hildebrandt were booked and held without bail.

Newsweek Covers for FBI, Ukrainian Spy Who Penetrated Capitol on J6

Ukrainian neo-Nazi spy Sergai Dybynyn hasn't been arrested for his actions on J6, but actual Americans are languishing in prison with no trial for doing less.

It appears Newsweek is spinning a narrative for the Deep State after Loomer exposed Ukrainian Spies with connections to the Azov Battalion were involved in J6. Newsweek downplayed Loomer’s reporting, writing, “Photographs of Dybynyn[the Ukrianan spy] at the riot have been used by some conservatives to push conspiracy theories about January 6, though these theories have not been proven and have been dismissed by many experts.” This quote from Newsweek is interesting because countless American citizens have been arrested for peacefully trespassing on J6, yet Mr. Dybynyn has not been arrested, despite photos showing him trespassing on Capitol grounds during J6.

Loomer rightfully criticized Newsweek posting on X, “Of course Operation Mockingbird Media @Newsweek has to downplay what I just exclusively exposed to soften the blow about the @FBI concealing the fact that a Ukrainian spy penetrated the US Capitol on J6 and a J6er was interrogated over it. It was suspected before that Ukrainians were at the Capitol, but I exposed that the FBI privately confirmed it during an interrogation of a US citizen who was jailed over J6.”

Even more odd is Mr. Dybynyn took photos with the J6 Shaman known as Jake Anglei. Most J6ers associated with Mr. Angeli have been arrested. However, Mr. Dybynyn has not. Loomer’s post then explained her conversation with Mr. Anglei, “They completely fail to mention that I broke this story. It wasn’t a passive interview, it is a monumental investigation that I conducted and exposed by talking to Jacob Chansley privately, not on a public interview as Newsweek is claiming. The information is 100% confirmed and @AmericaShaman can confirm. He can also confirm that this wasn’t public until I reported it.”

“There was no public interview. Newsweek is characterizing it this way to downplay my investigation.”

Loomer’s post ended with her criticizing Newsweek for distorting the facts, writing that “Newsweek needs to issue a clarification because they are acting like this is a passive admission when this is a major investigation that I conducted and broke, and it was not in a public interview. They are distorting the facts.”

Bill Gates Buys 1.7 Million Shares of Anheuser-Busch Valued at $95 Million

Bill Gates has acquired 1.7 million shares of Anheuser-Busch Inbev through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation trust during the second quarter of this year. The billionaire may have made the investment on the hopes that the company can get past its Bud Light fiasco, or he may think its new brand image fits with his infamous reputation as an “office bully” and friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

The market value of Gates’ investment in Anheuser-Busch is valued at $95 million, according to TipRanks.

Over the past six months, the company’s share price has fallen nearly nine percent, the New York Post reported. In the past five days, the stock has been down over three percent.

Sales have been on a steady decline since Dylan Mulvaney flaunted the customized Bud Light can with his face on it on April 1. As Breitbart News reported at the time, the nationwide backlash against this marketing disaster vaporized $6 billion in market value.

Gates’ acquisition of 1.7 million shares reveals that he sees the beer giant making a comeback with consumers following its ill-fated advertisement campaign with trans gender activist Dylan Mulvaney.

Morgan Stanley analyst Sarah Simon told TipRanks the beer giant’s growth in emerging markets like in the Asia Pacific region limits the impact of the U.S. share loss.

Joe Biden's Office Colluded With Hunter's Business Associate On Burisma Inquiries, House Oversight Says

Then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office worked with Hunter Biden’s business associate to respond to media inquiries about Ukrainian energy firm Burisma in December 2015, according to the House Oversight Committee.

The committee wrote a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) on Wednesday, requesting all documents and information related to Hunter Biden’s business associates’ communication with the vice president’s office from Joe Biden’s tenure.

House Oversight’s letter singles out Hunter Biden’s former business associates Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer, Vuk Jeremic, Rob Walker and Jeffrey Cooper in its request.

On Dec. 4, 2015, Schwerin wrote an email to then-VP Biden communications staffer Kate Bedingfield with statements for the White House to give journalists who were looking into Hunter Biden’s relationship with Burisma ahead of Joe Biden’s trip to Ukraine. Bedingfield informed Schwerin the “VP signed off on this,” according to emails reviewed by House Oversight.

Blinken Makes Surprise Visit to Kyiv, to Announce Another Round of Cash for Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to Kyiv on Wednesday morning and is expected to announce hundreds of millions of dollars of new spending in addition to the billions of extra dollars expected from Washington this week.

The visit by Blinken comes just hours after the city experienced a Russian missile attack and is another physical expression of support for Ukraine from its Western backers which has seen dozens of world leaders travel by special train to the country from neighbouring Poland. As well as a wreath-laying and meeting senior ministers, Blinken is due to see Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today to discuss the long-anticipated and now beleaguered counteroffensive that the U.S., with allies, is funding.

Blinken is due to announce a new package of military aid to Ukraine during his visit today, the Associated Press says, which will be worth up to $200 million. France24 cites a State Department source that says the extra support that will be given today could be as much as one billion dollars. This is apparently in addition to extra billions the Biden Presidency has requested and may approve in the coming days or weeks.

The Secretary of State was met in Kyiv upon his arrival by the U.S. Ambassador and the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who has recently triggered headlines around the world for intemperate remarks about those criticising the pace of progress of the counter-offensive, counselling them to “shut up”.

Talking about the monetary and material support given to Ukraine by the U.S., Blinken said: “We want to make sure that Ukraine has what it needs, not only to succeed in the counteroffensive but has what it needs for the long-term, to make sure that it has a strong deterrent… We´re also determined to continue to work with our partners as they build and rebuild a strong economy, strong democracy.”

Russia used the occasion of Blinken’s arrival to claim the United States is pushing the war and prolonging the conflict by underwriting Kyiv with military support. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the U.S. was going to support Ukraine “to the last Ukrainian”, and asserted no matter how hard America tried, Russia would still triumph in what it euphemistically calls its “special military operation”.

Google unveils new “fact-checking tools” meant to censor and keep independent media out of search results

Google may have just announced a worldwide ban on independent and alternative media outlets with its new "fact-checking tools."

In a short video, LaToya Drake, head of North American affairs at the Google News Initiative, announced the rollout of new tools the Big Tech company claims will help people "verify and tell news stories" and "improve information quality."

The Google News Initiative will "work with publishers and journalists to fight misinformation" and features two new tools for so-called fact-checking: the fact-check explorer and the claim review.

"[The fact-check explorer] allows you to easily browse and search for fact-checks from reputable fact-checking organizations around the world," explained Drake. "Google's fact-check explorer is designed to facilitate the work of fact-checkers, journalists and researchers in discovering what has and hasn't been debunked all over the globe. Think of this as a search engine for your fact checks that can help you determine fact from fiction."

To support the fact-check explorer is claim review, a system that allows fact-checkers to "ensure that fact-checked information is prominently featured and easy to find."

Google's new censorship tools part of globalist plan to control free flow of information online

The Google News Initiative's new tools were made in partnership with the United Nations, the World Health Organization (WHO) and several other globalist organizations and are primarily meant as a censorship tool.

Some of the main targets of the new fact-checking tool will be criticisms regarding Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) statistics, the World Bank, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime statistics, as well as information on globalist efforts to create a one-world government.

Google's new algorithms are also designed to censor from its search engine any criticisms of the following topics:

Information on PhamGKB, an online database with information on the impact of human genetic variation on drug response

Statistics on global warming provided by the UN-led International Panel on Climate Change

Any other topic the WHO selects

Carbon emissions reports from the UN's Energy Statistics Database

Greenhouse gas reports published by the Environmental Protection Agency

The Anheuser-Busch Baldwinsville Brewery

Stanford University's DeepSolar project

Prince Andrew files to remain secret until 2065; UK government rejects Freedom of Information request

Secret documents regarding Prince Andrew will be kept sealed until 2065 after a royal family biographer's Freedom of Information request was rejected by the U.K. government.

According to multiple outlets, biographer Andrew Lownie sought documents regarding the disgraced prince, who was forced to resign from his government role after he was pictured having a meeting with Jeffrey Epstein, who had just served 18 months for sex crimes.

Prince Andrew was the U.K.'s special representative for trade and industry from 2001 to 2011, according to Express.

The delay in the files' release would mean that the prince would have to live to be 105 years old in order to be around to witness the document dump, a rule that is reportedly customary with the royal family.

Documents reportedly must remain sealed away from public view until 105 years after the birth of the individual in question, for the purpose of protecting royal family members from scrutiny and even to “preserve the mystique," the National Pulse reported.

The royal family is given special treatment in terms of the release of information. The Times reported that records from the U.K.'s national archives are usually kept secret for 20 years.

The biographer questioned the "culture of secrecy" and said it is "often the default position" of the royal family. “It does seem quite extreme," Lownie said.

The royals should be "subject to scrutiny" as everyone else is, the biographer went on.

“We are in the absurd position that Prince Harry can reveal the most intimate details of royal life from months ago for personal commercial gain and Royal households currently brief against each other, yet historians cannot look at files,” Lownie continued.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been famously mocked over their consistent requests for privacy despite publishing books, releasing podcasts, and going on press junkets in the United States.

"Many questions remain about his role as trade envoy, a public appointment paid for by the taxpayer, and his associations with figures such as Jeffrey Epstein," Lownie explained. "There is also a strong public interest in knowing, for example, who is paying for his security now he is no longer a working royal."

Despite the unofficial excommunication, Prince Andrew still lives at a royal lodge with his ex-wife, where he has lived for 20 years.

More than HALF of CDC staff leave to work for Big Pharma and 'revolving door' of workers at public agency makes it vulnerable to corruption, report warns

Over a third of people appointed to the HHS leave to take jobs in private sectors

Republican presidents were more likely to appoint people directly from industry

More than half of Centers for Disease Control (CDC) staff go on to work for big pharma, a first-of-its-kind report has found.

The analysis found that, between 2004 and 2020, 54 percent of workers who left the agency for another job moved into the private health sector.

At the same time, a significant number of new staff hired by government health agencies come directly from private drug firms.

Researchers from the University of Southern California and Harvard University who published the report said this 'revolving door' between federal workers and private healthcare companies has made government agencies vulnerable to corruption.

The study leader called to expand federal 'cooling off' laws — which prohibit former government employees from immediately lobbying on behalf of private organizations.

The report also found that over a third of people appointed to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leave to take jobs in the healthcare private sector, as do 53 percent of employees at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The HHS is the branch of the US government that deals with health, and the CDC is one of its major components.

Currently, government ex-employees must wait one year after leaving these health agencies before lobbying or having 'any communication to or appearance before any officer or employee of their former agency on behalf of anyone seeking official action.'

This was set up to prevent people from 'switching sides' on a matter they worked on during their government role.

But the new report says the laws don't go far enough.

The researchers looked at the career histories of 766 people appointed to HHS between 2004 and 2020 who occupied political appointments, including agency heads, senior-level administrators and their aides.

China bans iPhones for gov’t officials at work: Report

China has reportedly ordered central government officials not to use Apple’s iPhones or other devices produced by foreign brands for work.

According to The Wall Street Journal, sources familiar with the ban said Chinese officials were recently given the instructions in meetings or chat groups as part of China’s effort to reduce the country’s reliance on technology produced by foreign countries.

While The Wall Street Journal said it is unclear how widespread the government orders are, the messages were communicated to government employees at various central government regulators.

China’s ban could have a major impact on foreign technology brands in the country, especially Apple. According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple currently dominates high-end smartphone sales in China, with roughly 19% of the company’s revenue stemming from the Chinese economy.

While China has restricted certain officials from using Apple’s iPhones for government work in the past, sources told The Wall Street Journal that the government’s order has now been expanded. The move reflects similar bans in the United States against government officials using TikTok and Huawei Technologies.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese President Xi Jinping has been pushing for increased government control over digital activities and information for years as both China and the United States have placed an emphasis on national security. The Chinese government unveiled an update in July for its anti-espionage law, giving the government even more control over digital activities.

Instead of relying on foreign brands of technology, the Chinese government has placed an emphasis on utilizing computers and software developed by Chinese companies that can be more easily controlled by Beijing.

In the past, Apple has been able to navigate the technology tension between the United States and China, thriving in both markets. Most of Apple’s products are currently assembled in China, with the company employing millions of people in China. According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple has also remained in compliance with China’s regulations on digital freedom by removing thousands of apps from the company’s app store that were deemed illegal by Chinese officials.

Mark Meadows, Five Other Co-Defendants Plead Not Guilty In Georgia Racketeering Indictment: Reports

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and five other co-defendants named in the sweeping Georgia racketeering indictment reportedly pleaded not guilty Tuesday and waived their in-person arraignment set for tomorrow.

“I fully understand the nature of the offenses charged and my right to appear at arraignment,” Meadows wrote in the court filing reported by The Hill. “Understanding my rights, I do hereby freely and voluntarily waive my right to be present at my arraignment on the Indictment and my right to have it read to me in open court.”

Meadows and 18 other co-defendants are named in former President Donald Trump’s fourth indictment following a criminal investigation into the former president’s alleged efforts to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis pursued charging the individuals under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which allows prosecutors to connect various crimes committed by multiple defendants and argue that they were working together toward a criminal goal — and were, therefore, part of a “criminal enterprise.”

Trump has broadly denied any wrongdoing and has claimed politically motivated forces are targeting him in a “witch hunt” propagated by the Biden administration and Democrat prosecutors in New York and Georgia.

Attorney John Eastman, ex-DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, Shawn Still, David Shafer, the former Georgia GOP chair, and Cathy Latham, a member of the Georgia Republican Party’s executive committee, also pleaded not guilty, according to ABC News.

Clark’s attorney reportedly said in a filing that the charges against his client were an “unconstitutional attempt, as to Mr. Clark, to penetrate into the sanctums of the superior federal government’s Justice Department, as well as of the Office of the President of the United States at the White House.”

“The Indictment is also an unconstitutional affront to the powers of the President, who is the sole head of the unitary executive branch,” Clark’s filing states.

Clark and Meadows are two of five defendants requesting to move their cases from state court into federal court.

All but one of the 19 defendants, including former President Donald Trump, named in the indictment have now pleaded not guilty in the case and waived their in-person arraignment.

According to reports, former Coffee County elections director Misty Hampton still has not entered a plea.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee set the date of September 6 for all 19 defendants to be arraigned on charges and enter their pleas in the case.

Former Mossad chief Pardo says Israel enforcing ‘apartheid’ system in West Bank

Ex-spymaster, now an outspoken critic of his former boss PM Netanyahu, warns Israel faces existential danger if it doesn’t decide borders with Palestinians

A former head of the Mossad intelligence agency told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Israel is enforcing an “apartheid” system in the West Bank, joining a tiny but growing list of retired officials to endorse an idea that remains largely on the fringes of Israeli discourse and international diplomacy.

Tamir Pardo becomes the latest former senior official to compare Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank to apartheid, a reference to the system of racial separation in South Africa that ended in 1994.

Leading rights groups in Israel and abroad and Palestinians have accused Israel and its 56-year military rule of the West Bank of morphing into an apartheid system that they say gives Palestinians second-class status and is designed to maintain Jewish hegemony from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

A handful of former Israeli leaders, diplomats and security officials have warned that Israel risks becoming an apartheid state, but Pardo’s language was even more blunt.

“There is an apartheid state here,” he said in an interview. “In a territory where two people are judged under two legal systems, that is an apartheid state.”
