Is­rael's Mil­i­tary In­tel­li­gence Chief Resigns Over Oct.7 Failures

Israel’s top military intelligence official has announced his resignation in a shock development for the country while it's still at war, citing his failure to anticipate the Oct.7 Hamas terror attack. Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, chief of the Israel Defense Forces Military Intelligence Directorate, is expected to vacate the position as soon as his replacement is appointed.

This makes Haliva the first senior officer to resign over Oct.7, and comes as large Israeli protests have persisted in reaction to the Netanyahu government's failure to achieve the safe return of the remaining hostages being held by Hamas.

A military announcement confirmed the resignation has been approved by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. According to a statement in Israeli media, "Alongside Haliva, other top defense officials have said they bear responsibility for the deadly invasion carried out by Hamas on October 7, including the head of the Shin Bet security agency and the IDF chief of staff."

As for these additional officials, "None of them has announced plans to resign as of yet, though many are expected to do so once the security situation stabilizes," Times of Israel reports.

There's been widespread questioning as to how Hamas and other Palestinian militants were able to breach Israel's southern borders with ease on Oct.7 - even overrunning IDF border outposts, amid the deadly attack on the Nova music festival. Israel has some of the most sophisticated and advance surveillance systems in the world.

Over 1,160 people were killed, mostly civilians, and more than 240 Israelis and foreigners were taken hostage, but many of the captives have since died. The security failures of Oct.7 are still under investigation and are likely to be scrutinized for years to come.

But Al Jazeera observes that Gen. Haliva's resignation from the top military intelligence post is also political and relates to PM Netanyahu's handling of the crisis and ongoing war in Gaza:

Akiva Eldar, an Israeli author and former columnist with Haaretz newspaper, says Major-General Halavi quit likely because Netanyahu isn’t going to end the war on Gaza anytime soon.

Eldar added another reason is that the prime minister “is not interested in bringing the captives back to Israel”.

“Netanyahu is the highest authority and he never took responsibility [for the Hamas attack] so Haliva wanted to send a personal message to tell him, ‘If I can do it, you can do it,’” he said.

As for the Israeli military's own internal investigation into Oct.7 security and intel failures, it is expected to look the way back to 2018 in terms of scope.

The US is considering increasing its small military presence in Ukraine by sending up to 60 additional military advisers, POLITICO reported on Saturday, the same day the House approved $61 billion in spending for the proxy war.

Four unnamed US officials told POLITICO that the additional troops would “support logistics and oversight efforts for the weapons the US is sending Ukraine.”

Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said the potential deployment would augment US personnel based at the US Embassy in Kyiv. “Throughout this conflict, the DOD has reviewed and adjusted our presence in-country as security conditions have evolved. Currently, we are considering sending several additional advisers to augment the Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) at the Embassy,” Ryder said.

Top BBC Presenter Resigns for ‘Medical’ Reasons After Teen Sex Pic Scandal

The BBC’s former top news anchor Huw Edwards resigned from Britain’s publicly-funded broadcaster on “medical advice” after being off air since last year following claims that he paid a teenager for sexually explicit pictures.

In a statement released on Monday, the BBC said that “on the basis of medical advice from his doctors” former BBC News at Ten presenter Huw Edwards has resigned from the corporation.

“The BBC has accepted his resignation which it believes will allow all parties to move forward. We don’t believe it appropriate to comment further,” the broadcaster added.

Edwards, 62, has been off the airwaves since last July after a report from The Sun newspaper alleged that an unnamed “BBC star” — later named as Edwards — had paid a drug-addicted 17-year-old around £35,000 in exchange for sexually explicit images.

The newspaper later amended its accusations to say that “it is understood contact between the two started when the youngster was 17,” suggesting that the requests for illicit images may have occurred after the teen turned 18.

While the legal age of consent in the UK is 16, it is still a crime to proposition anyone under the age of 18 to produce sexually explicit pictures of themselves. London’s Metropolitan Police and South Wales Police said last year that they did not find any evidence of a crime after investigating the allegations.

Israeli Strikes in Rafah Kill 22, Including 18 Children

The bombardment came after the House approved $26 billion in spending to support the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians

Israeli strikes hit the southern Gaza city of Rafah Saturday night into Sunday morning, killing 22 people, including 18 children, The Associated Press reported.

The bombardment came just hours after the US House of Representatives passed a $26 billion bill that includes about $17 billion in military aid for Israel to support the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.

According to AP, one of the overnight strikes killed a man, his wife, and their three-year-old child. The woman was 30 weeks pregnant, and medical staff at the nearby Kuwaiti hospital were able to save the baby. The second strike killed two women and 17 children.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Sunday that the number of Palestinians killed in the Strip has reached 34,097, and 76,980 more have been wounded. The death toll is considered a low estimate since it doesn’t take into account people who are dead under the rubble.

Rafah is packed with over 1 million Palestinian civilians and has been getting hit with near-daily Israeli strikes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been threatening to launch a full-scale invasion of the city.

The US has claimed that it’s concerned about Netanyahu’s plans to invade Rafah but is not putting any real pressure on Israel since it continues to provide military aid and political support. US and Israeli officials discussed the potential assault last week, and the White House said the two sides had a “shared objective to see Hamas defeated in Rafah.”

On Sunday, Netanyahu thanked the US for the new aid being passed through Congress and vowed to escalate in Gaza. “In the coming days, we will increase the military and diplomatic pressure on Hamas because this is the only way to free our hostages and achieve our victory,” he said.

Israel Is Turning Hospitals Into Mass Graves While The West Fixates On 'Antisemitism'

A mass grave created by the IDF has been uncovered at a Gaza hospital, where Palestinian civilians appear to have been the victims of a gruesome massacre.

“Bah, that’s old news Caitlin,” you may be saying. “We already know about the massacre and mass graves which were discovered a few weeks ago at the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.”

No no, that’s a different mass grave from a different IDF massacre at a completely different Gaza hospital. The now completely destroyed al-Shifa Hospital was in Gaza City; I’m talking about the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, where some 210 bodies have reportedly been discovered in a mass grave after Israeli forces withdrew from the city earlier this month. Two different massacres, two different hospitals, two different mass graves full of Palestinian civilians.

The IDF are just attacking hospitals and mowing down civilians and trying to bury the evidence of their crimes, so naturally we’re seeing the western political-media class focus very hard on the problem of antisemitism allegations on college campuses.

Getting far less attention than the fact that some Zionist university students are feeling uncomfortable feelings because other students say Palestinians are human beings is the fact that Israel is establishing a pattern of massacring civilians and burying them in mass graves outside hospitals in Gaza, or the fact that the IDF has been butchering children in Rafah, or the fact that the International Criminal Court is reportedly considering charging Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials for war crimes.

Those matters are important, just not nearly as important as how some western Jews feel emotionally upset about pro-Palestine protests. For that, the world must stop spinning on its axis until this extremely egregious problem has been addressed.

All the western spin and distortion around Israel’s mass atrocities in Gaza these last six months have revolved around centering feelings over human lives. How western Jewish Zionists are feeling about pro-Palestine sentiments. How Joe Biden’s feelings secretly feel about Netanyahu. How Israelis feel about October 7.

Wherever there’s an opportunity to focus the narrative on what feelings are being felt by a politically convenient population, the western press fall all over themselves to do so with tumescent enthusiasm. Wherever there’s an opportunity to focus on Israeli atrocities, the western press are nowhere to be found.

If you belong to a group that isn’t supported by the western empire, you can see your entire family murdered right in front of you and the western political-media class still won’t consider you a victim. If you belong to a group that the empire regards as human, then even someone offending your feelings will be viewed as an unforgivable hate crime.

UNRWA review: Israel hasn’t provided evidence that agency staff were terror group members

Independent panel says UN Palestinian refugee agency has ‘robust’ neutrality mechanisms but that issues persist; Israel: UNRWA ‘a poisoned and rotten tree whose roots are Hamas”

An independent review published Monday of the beleaguered UN agency for Palestinian refugees said that Israel had yet to provide supporting evidence for its claims that a significant number of agency staff were members of terrorist organizations and argued that UNRWA had “robust” policies in place to ensure staff neutrality.

Israel rejected the findings, saying it only provided “cosmetic fixes,” reasserting its position that the agency was intertwined with Hamas and could not play a future role in Gaza. A prominent UN watchdog also called the report a “whitewash.”

The United Nations appointed former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna to lead the UNRWA neutrality review in February after Israel alleged that 12 UNRWA staff actively participated in the Hamas-led October 7 onslaught in which 1,200 people were killed and another 253 taken hostage.

The assault on southern Israel triggered Israel’s war against the terror group in Gaza.

Israel subsequently claimed another 30 UNRWA staffers assisted or facilitated those crimes on October 7 and as much as 12 percent of the organization’s staff were affiliated with terror organizations.

Congressman Present At Party With Human Trafficking Victim And Drugs, Sworn Statement Says

Could a sworn written statement obtained by the House Ethics Committee be Rep. Matt Gaetz's undoing?

As the committee continues to investigate the Florida Republican, investigators have reason to believe he attended drug-fueled parties and used illicit drugs as a Member of Congress.

A written statement from a young woman alleges that in 2017, when she was 20, she attended a party in Florida where Gaetz was also present. The gathering featured alcohol and narcotics, including ecstasy and cocaine, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.

But that's not all:

In the sworn statement, which has not been previously reported, the woman said that in addition to Gaetz, the party was attended by the then-minor who was at the center of a yearslong Justice Department investigation into accusations that the Florida Congressman had sex with her when she was 17, according to sources.

According to the statement provided to the committee, sources said the woman who made the statement — who ABC News is not identifying — said she saw the then-minor naked at the party, which was also attended by adult men other than Gaetz, and that at the party there allegedly were bedrooms that were made available for sexual activities.

Gaetz received intense scrutiny after former friend and political ally, Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty to six charges, including sex trafficking the same 17-year-old.

Greenberg is serving an 11-year prison sentence.

Gaetz has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing, including the allegations that he had sex with a minor. The Justice Department informed Gaetz in 2023 that it was declining to bring charges against him.

Though the statement obtained by Congress references Gaetz, it was not written specifically to the Ethics Committee and is not primarily about the congressman, and the woman does not discuss whether or not she had knowledge of Gaetz's alleged sexual relations with the then-minor, sources said.

During the DOJ's sex crimes investigation, one of Gaetz's ex-girlfriends testified before a Seminole County, Florida, grand jury. Prosecutors considered her an integral witness. She reportedly talked with them about an immunity deal for months.

Months after prosecutors informed Gaetz they wouldn't pursue charges, the House Ethics Committee revived the investigation.

The inquiry began in 2021 under Nancy Pelosi's speakership. Gaetz supposedly insisted then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy drop the investigation, something McCarthy said he couldn't do.

McCarthy accuses Gaetz of using the House Republican Conference's controversial motion-to-vacate rule to oust him in retaliation, an accusation Gaetz vehemently denies.

However, a report, with partially redacted private correspondence, suggests Gaetz bragged about instigating McCarthy's remove because he considered him unable, or unwilling, to end the investigation.

The sparring recently escalated when McCarthy suggested on CBS' “Face the Nation” the Gaetz broke the law in his attempt to end the Ethics complaint against him.

GOP Congressman Stuns CNN, Says Gaetz Paid Minors For Sex

Reflecting on the U.S. aid package that just passed the House, Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) predicted Speaker of the House Mike Johnson will survive a potential motion to vacate from far-right Republicans.

“So, you voted yes on the foreign aid package,” CNN anchor Dana Bash began, addressing Gonzales. “Do you have confidence that at this point, given that it is still possible that Marjorie Taylor Greene will push to vacate, to kick [Mike Johnson] out of the speaker's chair, that he can survive?”

“Look, the House is a rough and rowdy place, but Mike Johnson is gonna be just fine,” Gonzales said, before continuing:

“I served 20 years in the military. It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags! Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi. These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime. Look, it didn't surprise me that some of these folks voted against aid to Israel, but I was encouraged to see by a nearly 10-to-1 mark that Republicans supported our allies on the battlefield.”

Mediaite's Jennifer Bowers Bahney noted the immediate reaction inside the studio:

“Wow! Ok, I should say that the federal government did look into Matt Gaetz and those allegations and they decided not to prosecute,” Bash said.

Gaetz has been served in a civil suit involving the women he's accused of sleeping with when she was a minor and remains the subject of an ongoing Ethics investigation.

Bowers Bahney continued:

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings added, “Well, unlike Joe Biden's poor Uncle Bosie, I think Mike Johnson's going to avoid cannibals in his own party here. He stood up to them this weekend — and the adults re-took control of the U.S. Congress. And I think people got sick and tired — he's one of them — of Marjorie Taylor Greene being in charge of their life, and they just finally said, “No.” And so I think and I hope that the Democrats will continue to stand with Mike Johnson here for a functional Congress.”

Meanwhile, Rep. Greene pushed back on Fox News' Maria Bartiromo's statement that she hasn't articulated a clear strategy for ousting Johnson or promoted an alternative candidate.

CIA Director Claims Lawsuit Against Alleged CIA-Backed Spying On Assange Visitors Could Damage US Security

In December, a U.S. judge found that four Americans could sue the CIA for violating their privacy rights under the U.S. Constitution.

CIA Director William Burns claimed that a lawsuit involving alleged spying on Americans, who visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, must be dismissed or there could be “serious” and “exceptionally grave” damage to the “national security of the United States.”

In a declaration [PDF] that invokes the “state secrets privilege,” Burns also maintained that the CIA could not provide any explanation in open court for why the agency believes damage could occur if the lawsuit proceeds.

“[T]he complete factual bases for my privilege assertions cannot be set forth on the public record without confirming or denying whether CIA has information related to this matter and therefore risking the very harm to the U.S. national security that I seek to protect,” Burns added.

Four Americans, two attorneys and two journalists, allege that the CIA and CIA Director Mike Pompeo directed UC Global, a Spanish security company, to carry out a spying operation against Assange that violated their privacy. UC Global allegedly copied the contents of their electronic devices and provided the data to the CIA.

“[T]he complete factual bases for my privilege assertions cannot be set forth on the public record without confirming or denying whether CIA has information related to this matter and therefore risking the very harm to the U.S. national security that I seek to protect,” Burns added.

Israel, the greatest American Ponzi scheme

TO THE American idealists who are still hoping that the US government would finally come to their senses and join the whole world and the human race in condemning the Israeli Zionist regime’s murderous rampage against Gaza and Palestinians, and demanding for a ceasefire — dream on.

The recent communique coming from White House last week — especially since the assassination of World Central Kitchen workers — was not borne out of sympathy, or humanity.

It was all a sick, political double talk.

While claiming that the senile, stooge President Joe Biden was increasingly getting angry over the mounting death toll and indiscriminate attacks on Gaza and Palestinian Gaza citizens, and has gone as far as “scolding” child killer Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House spokesperson reiterated that the US “still has an iron-clad commitment to help Israel with its self-defence.”

That so called ‘self-defence’ has incited the Israel army to go on a rampage in the last 180 days, murdering more than 33,000 Palestinians, two third of them women and children.

Biden administration’s hypocrisy is not surprising. Ratcheting rhetoric while openly weaponising the terrorist army was a politi- cal playbook for sitting presidents under threat, and reveals the US’ little regard for civilian, women and children life in Gaza.

It was reported that Biden is now feeling the electoral heat, as it was reported that more than 346,000 Michigan voters are choosing “uncommitted” in their primary ballots as a symbol of protest against the unconditional support given by his administration to Israel.

Why the Biden camp is still reluctant to rethink its diplomatic cover given to Israel, however, goes beyond politics. One had to delve a bit further into the theology of things to understand the unwavering solid support given across US administrations towards the criminal Zionist state.

One particular documentary gave an interesting insight of how a far-right theological influence, Christian Zionism, shaped US foreign policies that has today allowed the thieving nation of Israel to possess nuclear and destructive armament capabilities that rivals even the world’s largest superpowers.

The Christian Zionism movement gained prominence in the US since the formation of Israel through the Nakba of the Palestinians in 1948, based on a deranged belief of the significance of the Jewish state in biblical prophecy.

Why deranged?

Because the Christian Zionism suggest that the establishment of a racist state of Jews, expunged of its indigenous population of Muslim and Christian Arabs, is a precursor to the second coming of Jesus Christ and the fulfilment of the apocalyptic events described in the Book of Revelation — the Battle of Armageddon.

And these delusional Zionists, who refers to themselves as “Evangelical Christians” or “Born-again Christians”, believe that before the huge battle ensues, a “rapture” event will happen, where the true believers of Jesus, dead or alive, will be suddenly and miraculously taken from the earth to meet Jesus in the air, and subsequently saved by their admission to Heaven.

A former evangelical preacher, Frank Shaeffer, stated that although there is no single view on these apocalyptic events, the American Evangelical community latched on to one view, that they, the Believers, will be raptured before things got bad.

“But there are certain verses in the Book of Revelation which seem to indicate that none of this can happen unless the state of Israel exists.

“The American evangelical movement now said that not only we recognise this, this process can be advanced by torpedoing the peace process so the Palestinians never get their land back, the ancient borders of Israel need to be reclaimed and then Jesus will come back.”

The Labour Lord Hired By Israel's Weapon Industry

Lord John Hutton, who was defence secretary under New Labour,

has been appointed as the chairman of Pearson Engineering, an arms company in Newcastle.

The move came just weeks after Pearson was taken over by Israel’s state-owned arms giant Rafael, as part of its “strategic expansion into the United Kingdom”.

Rafael was founded in 1948 under the Israel Defence Forces’ (IDF) Military Science Corps, and currently makes many of the missiles and drones that Israel is using to bomb Gaza.
