Helicopter Footage Sparks Debate Over Israeli Friendly Fire Incidents

 

Disturbing footage from the early days of the Israel-Hamas war has become a topic of controversy over a month later, as one major Israeli newspaper strongly suggests it shows helicopter footage of Israeli forces firing indiscriminately on civilians "approximately an hour after the onset of the [Hamas] terror attack" on Oct. 7, while media fact checkers - including those dropping 'community notes' on X, insist the clip does not show the IDF firing on concertgoers - and that Israeli forces instead "mainly fired within Kibbutzim at the directive of IDF soldiers on the ground, precisely, as stated in the source, that they couldn't differentiate."

 

YNet's military correspondent Yoav Zitun described how the first helicopters over the scene were reliant on limited numbers of troops and security personnel on the ground, who were calling in targets to command centers utilizing cell phones and WhatsApp:

 

"As the pilots struggled to differentiate between terrorists and civilians, the decision was made to prioritize the immediate halt of the influx of Hamas terrorists and the potentially dangerous Gaza mobs breaching the border."

 

But what's clear from the now widely viewed on-the-ground Oct.7 videos which emerged almost in real time, masses of Israeli concert-goers were running, hiding, and seeking shelter in many directions. Others were whisked away on Hamas motorcycles as kidnappings ensued. But according to the report, Israeli pilots - unable to differentiate targets, unleashed heavy machine gun fire on people below, which may have included concert-goers.

 

In one scene from the harrowing footage - the date of which is also in dispute, a small car is seen speeding through an open field before the hovering gunship scored a direct hit on it. There's no way to know just from the footage whether it was full of Israeli civilians or Hamas fighters, or what level of confidence IDF ground sources had prior to the takedown (note: for clearer, fuller footage, go here):

Ukrainian Terror: Kiev’s Intelligence Service Admits Using Car Bomb to Kill Pro-Russia Luhansk Politician

 

That Ukraine is waging a terror campaign targeting pro-Russian journalists and politicians, is a well-known fact.

 

Now, its Intelligence Services are also suspected to have killed Gannedy Chastuakov, a top military aide to their own Commander in Chief Zaluzhny – which they deny.

 

But it has now surfaced that the Kiev regime openly admit to having used a car-bomb to kill a leading politician from the (newly annexed to Russia) region of Luhansk.

 

Ukraine admitted killing him, calling it retribution for a ‘war criminal’ and ‘executioner’.

Election problems persist … this time in Kentucky, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Texas

 

Despite the lower turnout in the off-year election, precincts in various counties still faced problems with voting machines, ballot shortages and faulty scanners.

 

Voters in counties nationwide ran into a handful of different issues at polling locations during Election Day on Tuesday, from voting machines flipping votes in a Pennsylvania county to electronic poll books malfunctioning in Louisville, Kentucky.

 

Several states had statewide, local, and/or municipal elections on Tuesday, including Kentucky, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The first two states had gubernatorial elections, while the last two had local and statewide ballot questions or judicial races.

 

Because these were off-year elections, turnout was lower than either midterm or presidential elections, as local news outlets reported. During the larger turnout in both the 2020 presidential and 2022 midterm elections, counties in various states experienced numerous irregularities that led to a plethora of lawsuits.

 

Now, just a year out from the 2024 presidential general election and only months away from state primary elections, several jurisdictions still have problems running polling locations smoothly.

 

Kentucky: In Louisville, 17 polling districts experienced issues with their electronic poll books, in which voters sign in to cast their ballots, reported local CBS News affiliate WLKY. As a result, the districts resorted to using paper rosters to sign in voters.

 

Several precincts in Jefferson County were ordered by the local circuit court to extend their voting hours by a half an hour, until 6:30 p.m. EST, because those polls were closed for half an hour in the morning, reported WLKY. Some of the precincts closed because of a potential gas leak, while others closed as a result of a police pursuit in the area.

 

Mississippi: There were ballot shortages in Hinds County, resulting in a judge yesterday extending voting times by an hour, to 9 p.m. EST. According to the Associated Press, Hinds County Supervisor Credell Calhoun said, "This is way beyond anything we've seen in the electoral process. As hard as we worked to get the vote out and then you're going to have stupidity to not have enough ballots."

 

Pennsylvania: Electronic voting machines flipped votes yesterday in Northampton County for deciding whether Pennsylvania Superior Court Judges Jack Panella and Victor Stabile should remain on the bench for additional 10-year terms.

 

The office of Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure said all poll workers were notified to tell voters before entering the voting booth about the problem with recording the vote.

 

McClure also explained that all 300-plus of the county's voting machines are affected by the issue, which was caused by a coding error by voting machine company Election Systems & Software (ES&S), the Associated Press also reported.

 

He added that the county’s elections staff missed the issue during testing of the voting machines. McClure said that votes will be corrected during tabulation.

 

A company spokesperson, Katina Granger, told the wire service that the problem was caused by human error, was limited to Northampton County and only affected the judicial retention question.

 

Texas: In Harris County, at one polling place, voters were unable to cast ballots for close to 90 minutes because of a malfunctioning ballot scanner, the Houston Chronicle reported. An election judge at the location estimated that about 20 people left without voting. It reportedly took four attempts at rebooting the system before it worked. At other polling locations, one polling place reported half of the voting machines had technical issues, while another precinct’s controller computer didn’t work for hours. Yet another polling place had two broken voting machines while another location had difficulties with half of the voting machines.

Child sex abuse video leads SC Corrections Dept. to launch state-wide contraband sting

 

The operation was brought on following a series of arrests of staff members at Lee Correctional Institution after it was discovered that a Simpsonville mother, Abbygale Alexandria El-Dier, was allegedly sending videos of her molesting her 4-year-old daughter to an inmate in the prison.

 

In August, El-Dier, 24, was arrested and charged with charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor and sexual exploitation of a minor following an investigation by the Simpsonville Police Department and the Department ofCorrections inspector general.

 

Three weeks later, on Sept. 7, officers with the inspector general led a surprise search of the prison. After taking over the control room, Stirling said, officers searched the prison for contraband, uncovering drugs, weapons and phones. Two employees — a longtime food service supervisor, Brian Keely, and Lieutenant Brittany Welch — were arrested in the sweep.

 

Evidence on Keely’s phone allegedly showed him making contraband deals with inmates and he reportedly had cell phones and drugs hidden inside of his cafeteria office. Welch, who had been with the Department of Corrections for six years, was accused of tipping inmates off about contraband searches, allowing inmates to share weapons and even holding onto weapons for them. She was charged with misconduct in office and obstruction of justice.

Relentless bombing, urban combat, countless deaths: Live Updates on Israel-Hamas war

 

09 November 2023

 

22:39 GMT

The Israeli warplanes have carried out airstrikes on multiple sites which the IDF described as “Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure” in Lebanon, including a “terrorist compound,” several “observation posts,” and “technological equipment used to terrorize Israeli civilians.” The attack came in response to launches directed toward Israeli territory, the IDF said.

 

22:34 GMT

US President Joe Biden has ruled out any hope of achieving a lasting ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

 

“None. No possibility,” Biden told reporters outside the White House on Thursday when asked about the chances of a firm cessation in hostilities. Speaking to reporters separately later in the day as he was boarding the Air Force One, the president revealed he had been pushing for a “pause” in fighting “for a lot more than three days.”

 

The US, however, has not managed to secure even that long of a pause from Israel, which is apparently determined to continue its war on Hamas until the militant group is completely destroyed. Thus far, Israel has only agreed to implement daily humanitarian breaks.

Both Israelis and Palestinians would need new leadership if they are to make peace with each other, Hillary Clinton said on Thursday.

Regime change needed in Israel and Palestine – Clinton

 

Neither Hamas nor Netanyahu can make peace, the former US presidential candidate has said

 

Both Israelis and Palestinians would need new leadership if they are to make peace with each other, Hillary Clinton said on Thursday.

 

The former American first lady, senator, secretary of state, and 2016 presidential front-runner was speaking via video link at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore.

 

“Hamas is not a partner for any kind of peace or two-state solution,” Clinton told Bloomberg editor-in-chief John Micklethwait. She added that peace might be achieved by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and whoever ends up in charge of Gaza after the war with Israel.

 

When asked about Netanyahu’s potential to negotiate a two-state solution, Clinton replied, “I don’t think there is any evidence of that. I think the Israeli people will have to decide about his leadership.”

Senate Judiciary Committee Abruptly Adjourns As GOP Threatens Counter-Subpoenas Over Harlan Crow, Leonard Leo

 

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday abruptly adjourned a hearing that was due to issue subpoenas regarding the Supreme Court ethics investigation into Associate Justice Clarence Thomas after Republicans offered several counter-subpoenas.

 

Thomas has been under scrutiny from the public and Senate Democrats following several investigative reports by ProPublica, which document his close relations with real-estate billionaire Harlan Crow and suggest that he may have been improperly influenced by them. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin had scheduled a vote on Thursday to subpoena Crow and Federalist Society co-chairman Leonard Leo — a prominent conservative who advised the Trump administration on judicial nominations — to discuss Thomas, but abruptly adjourned the hearing to do so after Republicans signaled they would force votes on several controversial counter-subpoenas.

 

“When you offer the subpoena, there’ll be a bunch of amendments…we all oppose what you’re doing,” said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, the committee’s ranking member. “You made this decision, here, to go after private individuals, go after the court in a way that we believe is trying to delegitimize not just Clarence Thomas, but the court in general,” he accused the Democrats, adding a warning that “you’ve opened up Pandora’s box and you’ll get a look into it. It’s not very pretty.”

 

“Sen. Cornyn had planned to offer an amendment to subpoena George Soros and Alex Soros for information related to their efforts to influence the composition of the U.S. Supreme Court and matters before the Court,” an aide to Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas told The Daily Caller News Foundation. The subpoena amendment, a copy of which was viewed by the DCNF, would subpoena both Soroses, who have run the left-wing non-profit Open Society Foundations, over funds they spent to “influence the composition of the Supreme Court” or influence cases before it.

 

“There’s a pent-up demand on our side for information…What’s going on with [Associate Justice Sonia] Sotomayor selling her books? I want to know how 240,000 people from four countries achieved parole when the law says it should be done on an individual basis,” Graham stated, indicating that Republicans wanted to issue subpoenas on these subjects, in response to the subpoenas of Leo and Crow. “I promise you, everything that was working with the committee is now in jeopardy.”

Small Michigan Town Ousts Its ENTIRE GOVERNMENT and Changes the Town Hall Locks Over Its Support for a Chinese-Owned Electric Battery Plant

 

Green Charter Township, a town with roughly 3,200 people located in central Michigan, voted out their entire township board (which governs the city) after they ignored their concerns and cut a dirty deal with a company named Gotion Inc. Then they put a little icing on the cake afterward when they changed the townhall locks just hours after the vote.

 

Gotion is a corporation which makes batteries for electric vehicles. While the company is headquartered in Silicon Valley, its parent company is based in the People’s Republic of China and has ties to the CCP.

 

“China is our number-one enemy!” one angry resident yelled.

 

“My family members fought communism, and you’re bringing it right here!” screamed another.

Trump Judge's Wife Denies Posting Anti-Trump Messages

 

The wife of Judge Arthur Engoron has denied making anti-Trump posts on X, after conservative activist Laura Loomer said Dawn Engoron was behind an account that frequently posts anti-Trump content against the former president.

 

According to Loomer, Dawn Marie Engoron ran a Twitter account @dm_sminxs, where she has allegedly been posting "FUCK TRUMP" tweets, photos of Trump in an orange jump suit, and retweeting attacks on Trump while the trial was ongoing.

 

Dawn Engoron denied the claims, telling Newsweek: "I do not have a Twitter account. This is not me. I have not posted any anti Trump messages."

 

But does she have an X account?

 

Engoron is overseeing Trump's New York civil case, in which AG Letitia James has accused the former President and his organization of inflating their net worth by billions of dollars to obtain premium financing between 2011 and 2021. In September, Engoron ruled - sans jury, that Trump's financial statements committed fraud.

 

Loomer doubled down, noting that the suspected X account has been locked, that Newsweek "admit(s) they can’t definitively say this account doesn’t belong to Arthur Engoron’s wife," and that Engoron's son has deleted his LinkedIn account yesterday "after I exposed him getting preferential seating from his father in the trial of President Trump."

 

There is now a Leftist attempt to run cover for Judge Engoron, his wife, and his son, all of whom I exposed this week with my investigative reporting.

Loomer also says that "According to the rules of the Chief Administrative Judge of the New York State Unified Court System, judges must “not allow family, social, political or other relationships to influence the[ir] … judicial conduct or judgment."

 

She has called for Engoron to recuse himself.
