Canada's long-awaited online harms bill is coming. Here's what we know-Front Bench: Online harms bill-Rachel Aiello-Senior Digital Parliamentary Reporter-Updated Feb. 25, 2024 1:00 p.m. EST

Years in the making, the federal government is poised to introduce a new piece of legislation on Monday aimed at addressing a series of online harms.The bill will have a significant focus on protecting children with specific obligations for platforms, according to a senior government source who was not authorized to speak publicly about details yet to be made public.It will also seek to address non-consensual AI porn deepfakes, though the legislation is not expected to provide law enforcement with new powers, the source said.Put on the notice paper for Monday's return to the House of Commons, the bill proposes to enact the "Online Harms Act" and advance amendments to the Criminal Code, the Canadian Human Rights Act, as well as laws regarding the mandatory reporting of internet child pornography.This is not the first time the Liberals have tried to advance legislation to this effect, but after experts panned the first proposal as flawed, the government went back to the drawing board to reshape its plans amid an evolving online environment.Government officials from the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Department of Justice will hold a technical briefing for reporters on Monday afternoon, followed by a press conference led by Justice Minister Arif Virani at 5:15 p.m. ET, according to a media advisory. Ahead of the bill's tabling, here's what you need to know.What online harms will be included? While the full scope of the legislation won't be revealed until it is made public upon tabling in the House of Commons, it is expected to be an evolved version of the Liberals' initial proposal, to include an emphasis on harms to youth.Originally, the government set out wanting to impose rules and regulations that would require online platforms to be more accountable for, and transparent about five kinds of harmful content: hate speech, terrorist content, incitement to violence, the sharing of non-consensual images, and child exploitation.In addition to these areas of focus, according to the senior source CTV News spoke with, concerns were also raised during consultations about kids experiencing cyberbullying and inciting self-harm. Those two areas are expected to be addressed through this legislation.Part of the legislation's measures to tackle the non-consensual sharing of intimate images will include cracking down on the rising trend of sexually explicit deepfakes(opens in a new tab), and allowing for specific takedown requirements of what's become known as "revenge porn," as has been reported.The source said despite the recent calls for action to address this area, sparked by international headlines related to fake images circulating of mega star Taylor Swift, the government has been working on legislative amendments to this effect, for some time.Which minister is taking the lead? While this file has been in the hands of successive ministers of heritage, and the Canadian Heritage department, Virani will be taking the lead on the incoming bill, rather than Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge.Earlier this week, Virani was quietly sworn-in as "Minister of State (Online Harms)" specifically "to assist the Minister of Canadian Heritage in the carrying out that minister's responsibilities."This, from a machinery of government perspective, is likely to allow the justice minister to continue to tap into Canadian Heritage departmental resources as the bill winds its way through Parliament(opens in a new tab).Before being shuffled into the portfolio, St-Onge(opens in a new tab) spoke to CTV News last year about how she's personally seen the need for legislation to better protect people online.It remains to be seen how the two ministers will collaborate on shepherding the legislation through the House and Senate, which will include fielding parliamentarians' questions, and potentially testifying at committee.What's the backstory on this bill? This bill originated with a 2019 mandate letter request from the prime minister to then-heritage minister Steven Guilbeault to: "Create new regulations for social media platforms, starting with a requirement that all platforms remove illegal content."Under his time heading the file, this resulted in two main actions. First, the introduction of what was known as Bill C-36, which was tabled at the eleventh hour of the last Parliament and focused on hate speech. It died on the order paper and has never been revisited.The second move came two weeks before Trudeau called the 2021 election, when the government presented a "technical discussion paper" on a proposed legislative framework to tackle five forms of harmful online content(opens in a new tab).Among the ideas floated in the government's initial proposal were implementing a 24-hour takedown requirement for content deemed harmful; compelling platforms to provide data on their algorithms and provide a rationale for when action is taken on flagged posts; and installing a new system for Canadians to appeal platforms' decisions around content moderation.After facing significant pushback to this discussion paper, during the 2021 campaign, the Liberals promised to move on a "balanced and targeted" online harms bill within 100 days of the last election. After the vote, Pablo Rodriguez took over the portfolio and went back to the drawing board.This reworking included tapping a panel of experts and specialists(opens in a new tab) in platform governance, content regulation, civil liberties, tech regulation, and national security to help guide the government on what the bill should and shouldn't include. In the summer of 2022, Rodriguez and top officials from his department travelled across the country to hold panel discussions with stakeholders and representatives from minority groups. As of then, sources were expressing optimism that the bill would be ready for early 2023.Months later and still no legislation in sight, experts that helped craft the bill penned an open letter(opens in a new tab) indicating that after soliciting successive forms of consultation, it was time for legislation to be brought forward, noting the lacking protections for Canadian kids compared to other countries with similar laws already in place.Will this be a political hot potato? If the exchange of jabs between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre this week are any indication, this legislation has the potential of becoming a lightning rod.Heading into the tabling of this bill after two previous rounds of highly contentious debates around their online news and online streaming bills, the government is mindful of the potential for an even bigger fight when it comes to online harms.Already attempting to dispel the Conservative line of attack that this bill is centrally about censorship, Trudeau told reporters this week that the legislation will be "very specifically focused on protecting kids and not on censoring the internet.""We know, and everyone can agree that kids are vulnerable online… We need to do a better job as a society of protecting our kids online, the way we protect them in school yards," Trudeau said. "Now how to go about that is a very careful balance."This came in response to Poilievre prepositioning his party as opposed to what he called the "latest attack on freedom of expression," from the prime minister, who he accused of viewing hate speech as "speech he hates."Noting Poilievre has yet to see the legislation, the prime minister said his approach was not responsible."Leadership is about dealing in facts, actually reading a piece of legislation before he starts telling people what he thinks it does, and then having a rigorous debate in Parliament," Trudeau said.The prime minister also recently pushed back at NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, who linked the October 2023 death of a 12-year-old boy in British Columbia who died by suicide after being a victim of online sextortion(opens in a new tab), with the Liberals' delayed action on the online harms legislation.Both Singh and Poilievre have put their support behind a separate but potentially conflicting piece of legislation from the Senate that would require age verification online to access explicit sites like Pornhub.The Liberals are opposed to what is known as Bill S-210(opens in a new tab), with the source CTV News spoke indicating that Virani's legislation will take a more overarching approach to protections for minors across online sites.

Trump wins South Carolina’s GOP primary, beating Nikki Haley in her home state-Despite again losing to former US president, his onetime UN ambassador vows to fight on, saying ‘I don’t believe Donald Trump can beat Joe Biden’By MEG KINNARD and Will Weissert Today, 4:49 am-FEB 25,24

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (AP) — Donald Trump won South Carolina’s Republican primary on Saturday, easily beating former UN ambassador Nikki Haley in her home state and further consolidating his path to a third straight GOP nomination.Trump has now swept every contest that counted for Republican delegates, adding to previous wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and the US Virgin Islands. Haley is facing growing pressure to leave the race but says she’s not going anywhere despite losing the state where she was governor from 2011 to 2017.A 2020 rematch between Trump and US President Joe Biden is becoming increasingly inevitable. Haley has vowed to stay in the race through at least the batch of primaries on March 5, known as Super Tuesday, but was unable to dent Trump’s momentum in her home state despite holding far more campaign events and arguing that the indictments against Trump will hamstring him against Biden.The Associated Press declared Trump the winner as polls closed statewide at 7 p.m. That race call was based on an analysis of AP VoteCast, a comprehensive survey of Republican South Carolina primary voters. The survey confirmed the findings of pre-Election Day polls showing Trump far outpacing Haley statewide.“I have never seen the Republican Party so unified as it is right now,” Trump declared, taking the stage for his victory speech mere moments after polls closed. He added, “You can celebrate for about 15 minutes, but then we have to get back to work.”South Carolina’s first-in-the-South primary has historically been a reliable bellwether for Republicans. In all but one primary since 1980, the Republican winner in South Carolina has gone on to be the party’s nominee. The lone exception was Newt Gingrich in 2012.Trump was dominant across the state, even leading in Lexington County, which Haley represented in the state Legislature. Many Trump-backing South Carolinians, even some who previously supported Haley during her time as governor, weren’t willing to give her a home-state bump.“She’s done some good things,” Davis Paul, 36, said about Haley as he waited for Trump at a recent rally in Conway. “But I just don’t think she’s ready to tackle a candidate like Trump. I don’t think many people can.”At Haley headquarters on Saturday night, supporters waved her signs in front of a large projection screen showing Trump’s speech, blocking it from view. That, of course, didn’t make the defeat any less crushing.About an hour later, Haley took the stage and said: “What I saw today was South Carolina’s frustration with our country’s direction. I’ve seen that same frustration nationwide.”“I don’t believe Donald Trump can beat Joe Biden,” Haley said, later adding: “I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run. I’m a woman of my word.”She said she plans to head to Michigan for its primary on Tuesday — the last major contest before Super Tuesday. Still, she faces questions about where she might be able to win a contest or be competitive.Trump and Biden are already behaving like they expect to face off in November.Trump and his allies argue Biden has made the US weaker and point to the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and Russia’s decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Trump has also repeatedly attacked Biden over high inflation earlier in the president’s term and his handling of record-high migrant crossings at the US-Mexico border.Trump has questioned — often in harshly personal terms — whether the 81-year-old Biden is too old to serve a second term. Biden’s team in turn has highlighted the 77-year-old Trump’s own flubs on the campaign trail.Biden has stepped up his recent fundraising trips around the country and increasingly attacked Trump directly. He’s called Trump and his “Make America Great Again” movement dire threats to the nation’s founding principles, and the president’s reelection campaign has lately focused most of its attention on Trump suggesting he’d use the first day of a second presidency as a dictator and that he’d tell Russia to attack NATO allies who fail to keep up with defense spending obligations mandated by the alliance.Haley also criticized Trump on his NATO comments and also for questioning why her husband wasn’t on the campaign trail with her — even as former first lady Melania Trump hasn’t appeared with him. Maj. Michael Haley is deployed in the Horn of Africa on a mission with the South Carolina Army National Guard.But South Carolina’s Republican voters line up with Trump on having lukewarm feelings about NATO and continued US support for Ukraine, according to AP VoteCast data from Saturday’s primary. About 6 in 10 oppose continuing aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Only about a third described America’s participation in NATO as “very good,” with more saying it’s only “somewhat good.”Haley has raised copious amounts of campaign money and is scheduled to begin a cross-country campaign swing on Sunday in Michigan ahead of Super Tuesday on March 5, when many delegate-rich states hold primaries.But it’s unclear how she can stop Trump from clinching enough delegates to become the party’s presumptive nominee for the third time.Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina complimented Haley while speaking to reporters at Trump’s election night party in Columbia but suggested it was time for her to drop out.“I think the sooner she does, the better for her, the better for the party,” Graham said. Later, the senator was greeted with boos after Trump called him to the stage to address those gathered.Trump’s political strength has endured despite facing 91 criminal charges related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden, the discovery of classified documents in his Florida residence and allegations that he secretly arranged payoffs to a porn actress.The former president’s first criminal trial is set to begin on March 25 in New York, where he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels in the closing weeks of his 2016 presidential campaign.Biden won South Carolina’s Democratic primary earlier this month and faces only one remaining challenger, Dean Phillips. The Minnesota Democratic congressman has continued to campaign in Michigan ahead of the Democratic primary there, despite having little chance of actually beating Biden.Though Biden is expected to cruise to his party’s renomination, he faces criticism from some Democrats for providing military backing to Israel in its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which was triggered by the terror group’s October 7 onlslaught in which some 1,200 people were killed and 253 taken hostage. Some in his party support a ceasefire due to the mounting death toll in Gaza, which the Hamas-run health ministry reports to be nearly 30,000, an unverified figure that doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants. The war could hurt the US president’s general election chances in swing states like Michigan, which is home to a large Arab American population.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Solar eclipse of Biblical proportions will transverse the continental United States-And in that day —declares my God— I will make the sun set at noon, I will darken the earth on a sunny day. Amos 8:9-(the israel bible)-Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz-February 25, 2024

On April 8, a total solar eclipse will transverse the continental US, passing from the southwest California border with Mexico and crossing to the northwestern United States. While skeptics claim this astronomical phenomenon has no spiritual significance, others note that the last eclipse that transversed the United States ushered in a catastrophic hurricane season, the global COVID epidemic, the war in Ukraine, and the horrific Hamas attack on Israel. Such a series of events has led many to take note of the upcoming eclipse which takes place on the first day of Nisan, the first month of the Biblical calendar that also marks the beginning of the redemption from Egypt.The total eclipse will pass over Mexico from the Pacific Ocean at around 11:07 AM PDT and continue over the United States, starting in the Southwest and moving northeast until it passes over the shore of the northeast U.S. in northern Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The eclipse will exit continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada, at 5:16 p.m. NDT.A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between earth and the sun, thereby obscuring the image of the sun for a viewer on earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon’s apparent diameter (as seen from earth) is larger than the sun’s, blocking all direct sunlight and turning day into darkness. As it happens, the moon will make the month’s closest approach to earth (just 223,000 miles) one day before the total solar eclipse, thereby appearing its largest on the day it crosses between the earth and the sun.Total eclipse occurs only in a narrow path across the earth’s surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of miles wide.It will be the first solar eclipse visible in the continental U.S. since Aug. 21, 2017, and the only total solar eclipse in the 21st century where the totality will be visible in Mexico, the United States and Canada. It will also be the last total solar eclipse visible in the contiguous United States for the next two decades – until Aug. 23, 2044.Whereas the path of the 2017 eclipse crossed from the Pacific northwest to southern Florida, the upcoming solar eclipse will begin traversing the continent from the southwest of the US and end in the Northeast. The paths of the two eclipses form a transcontinental ‘X.’ In a strange coincidence, the only spot in the path of both eclipses, receiving a double-dose of this modern plague of darkness, and the point of the longest duration for both eclipses, is a particular part of southern Illinois, known appropriately enough as Little Egypt. The Egyptian connection is so strong that there are several cities in the area named for ancient Egyptian places like Karnak, Cairo, and Thebes.The 2017 eclipse was also known as “the Seven Salem Eclipse” because the path of that eclipse crossed over seven U.S. locations named “Salem”:-Salem, Oregon-Salem, Idaho-Salem, Wyoming-Salem, Nebraska-Salem, Missouri-Salem, Kentucky-Salem, South CarolinaSalem was the Biblical name for Jerusalem before King David made it his capital. Abraham visited Malkitzedek, the King of Salem (Genesis 14:18–20). The name Malkitzedek (My King Is Righteousness) hints at a belief in the God of Israel.The path of the upcoming solar eclipse will cross over seven U.S. locations named “Nineveh”…-Nineveh, Texas-Nineveh, Missouri-Nineveh, Indiana-Nineveh, Ohio-Nineveh, Pennsylvania -Nineveh, Virginia-Nineveh, New York-The eclipse will also cross over a location named “Nineveh” in the province of Nova Scotia in Canada.It is interesting to note that a solar eclipse known as the Bur-Sagale eclipse took place on 15 June 763 BCE, passing over the Assyrian capital city of Nineveh in the middle of the reign of Jeroboam II, who ruled Israel from 786 to 746.  According to 2 Kings 14:25, the prophet Jonah lived and prophesied in Jeroboam’s reign. The biblical scholar Donald Wiseman has speculated that the eclipse took place around when Jonah arrived in Nineveh and urged the people to repent.As the son of the scion of the Mishkoltz Hasidic dynasty and a descendant of King David, Rabbi Yosef Berger circulates among many hidden righteous men and is privy to their thoughts. He emphasized that the eclipse will take place on the first day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, the month in which the Jews left Egypt.“It is undeniable that we are on the verge of the Final Redemption,” Rabbi Berger said. “But most people either don’t understand what that means or deny the obvious. Nisan is the first month of the Biblical year. All of the kabbalists and hidden righteous men know that after the beginning of the Hebrew month of Nisan, the entire order of Creation will change in preparation for the final redemption. Seven years ago, people scoffed when they said this, but the world has gone through so much, changed so much in that time.”Rabbi Berger noted the connection to Nineveh.“Just as God sent Jonah to warn Nineveh, He is sending this eclipse as a warning to the nations,” Rabbi Berger said. “Just as the people of Nineveh had to repent in a set amount of time, the nations have a limited amount of time to perform acts of repentance.”Towards this end, Rabbi Berger established a charity to give Pidyon Nefesh, a donation, that “redeems” the nefesh, or soul. The money becomes an exchange for the life of the person, since money and the nefesh are one aspect. “Just like the eclipse in 2017 ushered in the COVID epidemic, the war in Ukraine, and the horrific attack on Israel and the war on Hamas, this eclipse will mark the beginning of greater changes that will overturn the order of the world. But by the time people realize that the geula (redemption) is beginning, it will be too late.”It should be remembered that the complete solar eclipse that transversed the continental United States in August 2017 ushered in the most devastating hurricane season in U.S. history. Four days after the eclipse, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Gulf Coast of Texas, the first major hurricane to do so in over a decade. The hurricane resulted in unprecedented flooding that prompted more than 13,000 rescues, displaced more than 30,000 people, and inundated hundreds of thousands of homes. At least 38 confirmed deaths were attributed to the hurricane and damages were estimated at up to $160 billion.In the Bible, solar events are recorded as having a remarkable and sometimes supernatural significance. Control over the sun was demonstrated by God in the three-day Plague of Darkness, and is prophesied to be an essential part of the End Times. The Prophet Joel (2:31) predicted, “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” The Prophet Amos makes a similar prediction: “And on that day – declares my God – I will make the sun set at noon, I will darken the earth on a sunny day.”In giving rebuke to Hezekiah to inform him that he would die from his illness, the prophet Isaiah (13:9) wrote, “The stars and constellations of heaven shall not give off their light; The sun shall be dark when it rises, And the moon shall diffuse no glow.” As Isaiah predicted – and as much later calculated by NASA – on March 5 in 702 BC, the 16th year before Hezekiah’s death, a prominent solar eclipse appeared over the Middle East. Its path crossed the Arabian Peninsula and the obscuration of the sun over Israel was more than 60 percent.Texas National Guardsman rescue residents during flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston-In its discussion of eclipses, the Talmud (Sukkot 29a) specifically described solar eclipses as being a bad omen for the nations that base their calendars on the solar cycle. At the end of this section describing the omens contained within eclipses, the Talmud states a disclaimer: “When Israel does the will of the place (God), they have nothing to fear from all of this,” citing the Prophet Jeremiah as a source.Thus said Hashem: Do not learn to go the way of the nations, And do not be dismayed by portents in the sky; Let the nations be dismayed by them! Jeremiah 10:2-The same source in the Talmud specifies that lunar eclipses are a bad omen for Israel since Israel is spiritually represented by the moon. If the lunar eclipse takes place in the east side of the heavens, then it is a bad omen for all the nations in the east, and similarly, if it occurs in the western hemisphere of the sky, it is a bad sign for all the nations in the west.A solar eclipse can only occur because the sun and the moon appear to be the same in diameter as seen from the earth. This is due to a coincidence that is unique and has not been found anywhere else in the galaxy. Though the sun is about 400 times farther away than the moon, the sun is also about 400 times bigger. If the distances or sizes were different than they actually are, eclipses would not take place. The Talmud relates to this, explaining why the sun and the moon appear to be the same size. The Talmud (Hulin 60b) discusses the seeming contradiction in the verse describing the creation of the sun and the moon.Hashem made the two great lights, the greater light to dominate the day and the lesser light to dominate the night, and the stars. Genesis 1:16
Though initially described in equal terms, the verse then noted the sun and the moon were not equal, with the sun being called the “greater light” and the moon the “lesser light”. The Talmud explains that when God created the sun and the moon they were equal in every manner, including size and intensity. The moon complained, saying, “Two kings cannot share one crown.” God agreed and made the moon shine less intensely, compensating the moon by commanding Israel to set the calendar by its cycles.Jewish mysticism explains that this slight to the moon will be rectified at the end of days when the sun and the moon will be equal in both size and intensity.

16 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it.
22 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it.

UN rights officials call for Israel arms embargo; FM: They’re cooperating with Hamas-Group of rapporteurs publishes statement saying providing any weapons to the Jewish state for use in Gaza war is likely to violate international law-By ToI Staff 24 February 2024, 11:07 pm-FEB 25,24

Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused the UN Human Rights Council of collaborating with Hamas on Saturday, after a group of UN rights officials called for an arms embargo on Israel, saying that any export of weapons or ammunition to the Jewish state for use in Gaza was “likely to violate international humanitarian law.”In the statement, issued under the auspices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the rights experts said that all countries have a responsibility not to sell weapons “if it is expected, given the facts or past patterns of behavior, that they would be used to violate international law.” The same thing went for military intelligence, the statement noted.In response to the statement, the Foreign Ministry reiterated that Israel was fighting the war in self-defense and that “even in the face of the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Hamas terrorists, Israel has acted, and will continue to act, in accordance with international law.”The ministry added that calls for an arms embargo on Israel are “actually calls of support for the Hamas terrorist organization,” and said that banning states from sharing intelligence with Israel represented “calls to prevent the hostages being brought home.”Katz went on to accuse the Human Rights Council of cooperating with Hamas and trying to undermine Israel’s right to self-defense.“Ignoring the war crimes, sexual crimes, and crimes against humanity committed by Hamas terrorists constitutes a stain that cannot be erased on the UN as an organization and personally on UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres himself,” he said.The UN experts praised a Dutch court for ruling earlier this month that the government must halt the export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel.The officials also lauded Belgium, Italy, Spain and a Japanese arms company for suspending arms transfers to Israel and noted that the European Union had also recently discouraged it.They urged the US and Germany, Israel’s biggest arms suppliers, as well as France, the UK, Canada, and Australia to make the same move.“State officials involved in arms exports may be individually criminally liable for aiding and abetting any war crimes, crimes against humanity or acts of genocide,” they said.Many of the experts were UN special rapporteurs: unpaid, independent experts mandated by the Human Rights Council. They do not speak for the United Nations, but report their findings to the council’s fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms.The officials clarified that arms transfers to Hamas and other terrorist groups were already prohibited because of their violations of international humanitarian law. However, they added that “the duty to ‘ensure respect’ for humanitarian law applies ‘in all circumstances’ including when Israel claims it is countering terrorism.”The team of dozens of independent experts who backed the statement included Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese, who was officially banned from Israel earlier this month over her apparent justification of Hamas’s brutal October 7 massacres, after she tweeted that victims were killed “in response to Israel’s oppression.”Albanese previously said Israel was committing “atrocities in Gaza” and that Palestinians there were “at grave risk of genocide.” In a statement on October 14, she accused Israel of aiming to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while not mentioning the devastating shock Hamas attack on Israel.Albanese said during the 2014 conflict between Israel and Hamas that the “Jewish lobby” was in control of the United States. She has also sympathized with terror organizations, dismissed Israeli security concerns, compared Israelis to Nazis, accused the Jewish state of potential war crimes, said Israel controlled the BBC, and claimed that the Jewish state started wars out of greed.For years, Israel has accused the UN Human Rights Council of being “obsessive, biased, and anti-Israel.” It has singled out Agenda Item 7, the permanent HRC item, which does not exist for any other conflict, reserved for alleged Israeli human rights abuses against Palestinians and other Arabs, as well as a series of resolutions it has adopted against Israel accusing the country of apartheid among others.The war began on October 7 when Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, murdering some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping 253. Following the attack, Israel vowed to dismantle the terrorist organization and get the hostages back.The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza claims that close to 30,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in the subsequent fighting, but the number cannot be independently verified as it is believed to include both Hamas terrorists and civilians, some of whom were killed as a consequence of the terror group’s own rocket misfires. The IDF says it has killed over 12,000 terrorists in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 who were killed inside Israel on and immediately following October 7.Israel has continued to insist that it is fighting the war in Gaza in accordance with international law, and that it makes great efforts to prevent harm to civilians, but that casualties are unavoidable while fighting a terror group embedded deeply within the civilian population, and operating from residential buildings, hospitals, schools, shelters, mosques and more.Haaretz reported earlier this month that the IDF was launching a probe into specific reported incidents of troops potentially violating international law. According to the report, a specially formed team will look into incidents such as the targeting of a Hamas official which reportedly killed dozens of civilians, destruction of a university campus, and the accidental killing of three Israeli hostages.

IDF says numerous Gaza gunmen slain in weekend fighting; company commander killed-Death of Maj. Eyal Shuminov, 24, takes army’s ground op toll to 238; visiting troops, IDF chief says military pressure is ‘most effective’ action to bring about a hostage deal
By Emanuel Fabian,ToI Staff and Agencies 24 February 2024, 9:00 pm

Intense fighting continued over the weekend between Israeli troops and Palestinian terror operatives throughout the Gaza Strip, including Khan Younis in the south, Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood in the north, and in the center of the Strip.The Israel Defense Forces said many Hamas gunmen had been killed over the past day in all three theaters of operations.And on Saturday evening, the military announced the death of an officer killed during fighting in northern Gaza over the weekend, bringing the toll of slain troops in the ground offensive against Hamas to 238.He was named as Maj. Eyal Shuminov, 24, a company commander in the Givati Brigade’s Shaked Battalion, from Karmiel.During a visit to northern Gaza, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said military pressure on Hamas was “the most effective” action to bring about a potential hostage deal with the terror group, as talks were held in Paris on the latest proposals for an agreement.“There is a connection between these things,” he said during an assessment with officers. “Your achievements — another battalion dismantled, more underground infrastructure [demolished], another neighborhood where [Hamas] infrastructure is destroyed and the population is evacuated to safety — all these things are pushing us, I very much hope, toward achieving the release of hostages.”“This is a goal of war. We intend to do a great deal to realize it, and the fighting effort is the most effective action that helps those who are negotiating for the release of the hostages,” Halevi added.The IDF also released footage showing airstrikes and tank shelling of Hamas operatives during operations in the Strip.In western Khan Younis, the IDF said, paratroopers located a Hamas weapons depot with a large number of explosive devices, mines, grenades, ammunition, rockets and other military equipment.Troops of the IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade raided the home of a senior Hamas intelligence officer in Khan Younis, locating a tunnel shaft and weapons nearby, the military said. The tunnel was later destroyed.In the same area, the IDF said troops located a cache of mortars in repurposed bags from UN agency UNRWA, and other weapons and military equipment.Amid the 7th Brigade’s operations in Khan Younis, the IDF said troops spotted eight Hamas operatives approaching them, before eliminating them with an Iron Sting guided mortar. It published footage of the strike.Meanwhile, concern deepened Saturday over the growing humanitarian crisis in the war-torn enclave, with aid agencies warning of unprecedented levels of desperation and looming famine.As civilians in the besieged territory struggled to get food and supplies, UNRWA warned Gazans were “in extreme peril while the world watches.”In northern Gaza’s Jabaliya refugee camp, bedraggled children held plastic containers and battered cooking pots for what little food was available.Food is running out, with aid agencies saying they are unable to get into the area because of Israeli strikes, while the trucks that do try to get through face frenzied looting.Residents have taken to eating scavenged scraps of rotten corn, animal fodder unfit for human consumption, and even leaves.The World Food Programme said this week its teams reported “unprecedented levels of desperation,” while the United Nations warned that 2.2 million people were on the brink of famine.Israel has defended its track record on allowing aid into Gaza, saying that nearly 14,000 trucks carrying relief supplies had entered the territory since the start of the war.Israel has also alleged that humanitarian organizations operating inside Gaza are failing to keep up with the pace, saying hundreds of trucks filled with aid sit idle on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing.The UN, in turn, said it can’t always reach the trucks at the crossing because it is at times too dangerous.Additionally, Israel has long accused Hamas of appropriating and stealing aid from an increasingly desperate civilian population.According to an Axios report Saturday, the US has asked Israel to stop targeting Hamas policemen who are escorting aid convoys in Gaza. The report, citing three US and Israeli officials, comes after aid groups suspended deliveries to northern Gaza this week saying that the convoys were being overrun by hungry crowds.According to Axios, the Biden administration asked Israel to stop targeting members of the Hamas-run civilian police force, warning that a “total breakdown of law and order” is significantly exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.US officials say at least 11 Hamas policemen have been killed in Israeli strikes in recent weeks.The report said Israel rebuffed the American request, telling the administration that a clear goal of the war was to end all Hamas control in Gaza and that Israel was working on alternative plans to ensure law and order.Separate reports in Israel on Saturday indicated cautious optimism on the prospects of reaching a temporary truce and hostage release deal with Hamas that would see a pause in the fighting more than three months after the previous halt in late November in which over 100 hostages were freed.Channel 12 reported that war cabinet ministers were to vote by phone later on whether to endorse an outline proposed by international mediators in Paris for a hostages-for-truce outline.It said the deal apparently provides, in a first phase, for the release of some 40 hostages in return for the release of hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners and a truce of some 6 weeks. These would be mostly female, elderly and ill hostages.The war in Gaza began on October 7 with Hamas’s brutal attack on southern Israel, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists went on a murderous rampage across local communities, killing 1,200 and taking 253 hostages.The Hamas-run health ministry says nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. These figures cannot be independently verified and do not differentiate between civilians and terror operatives, or those killed by Hamas’s own rockets that exploded in the Strip. The IDF says it has killed some 12,000 terror operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.

Israel also ramps up plans for Rafah offensive-In Paris, Israel and mediators agree on outline for hostage deal, pending Hamas okay-War cabinet votes to send delegation to Qatar for more talks; framework said to include 6-week truce, release of some 40 hostage women, children, female soldiers, elderly, ill-By ToI Staff and Agencies 24 February 2024, 9:37 pm

An Israeli delegation of top security officials returned from talks in Paris on Saturday as reports spread of growing hope in Jerusalem that a new hostage release deal with Hamas could be within reach.Israel’s war cabinet was conferring by telephone on Saturday evening to discuss the emerging “outline of an agreement,” described by an Israeli official cited widely in media as a “basis on which to build a plan and the principles for negotiations.”“There’s significant progress and a solid basis for discussions,” the official said.At the same time, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel that while there was optimism in Israeli media about the likelihood of a deal, the delegation itself was more cautious.Talks in Paris were held between Israel, American, Egyptian and Qatari representatives who have been working for weeks to secure a deal to free hostages and pause the fighting. It remained to be seen how Hamas would respond to the latest proposal.Another senior Israeli official cautioned in a statement Saturday that negotiators were “still far from a deal” but acknowledged that Hamas had “dropped some of its demands.”A senior US official echoed the sentiment, telling the Axios news site there was “some progress made in the hostage talks in Paris on Friday, but more ways to go to get a deal.” The publication noted that moving on to negotiating the details still depended on Qatari and Egyptian negotiators getting Hamas to agree to the framework presented at the talks in Paris.Following Saturday’s meeting, the war cabinet voted to send a delegation to Qatar for additional talks on the potential agreement. Citing unnamed Israeli sources, Axios said the Israeli delegation will have “a limited mandate” and the talks will focus on the technical aspects of a potential deal.Keeping up the pressure on Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement Saturday that the cabinet will convene next week to approve the IDF’s plans for an offensive in Hamas’s last stronghold in Gaza — the southern city of Rafah. These, he said, would include the evacuation of civilians from the area. Israel’s global allies have voiced deep concerns over the harm an offensive could cause, with the city full to bursting with civilian refugees from throughout the Strip.“We are working to reach another framework for the release of our hostages, as well as the completion of the elimination of the Hamas battalions in Rafah,” Netanyahu said. “That is why I sent a delegation to Paris and tonight we will discuss the next steps in the negotiations,” he said.Sources told Axios that while the outline of the proposal was similar to a previous framework, the current one is far more detailed.Multiple reports indicated the outline includes the release in the first phase of some 40 hostages held in Gaza, including women, children, female soldiers and elderly and ill abductees, amid a pause in fighting of some six weeks.It also includes the release by Israel of hundreds of Palestinian terror convicts, and a “redeployment” of Israeli troops within Gaza — but not a complete withdrawal as Hamas had previously demanded. The outline would also reportedly see Israel enable the return of Palestinian women and children to northern Gaza, from where hundreds of thousands evacuated during the fighting, and which Israel has kept cut off from the rest of the enclave.Channel 12 reported that there are still some points of contention, including Israel’s opposition to significant rehabilitation and reconstruction of Gaza before it is demilitarized, as well as ongoing differences on the number of Palestinian prisoners who would be released in exchange for the hostages.But, the network noted that there appears to have been “some kind of shift” by Hamas on its demand for an end to war — which the terror group has hitherto insisted must be a condition for further hostage releases. Israel has outrightly refused the demand, vowing to destroy the terror group following the October 7 attack.A senior government official told Channel 12 that the outline as it appears to stand would likely be approved by the full cabinet.If the eventual agreement reflects these terms, the TV report said, and if they are also accepted by Hamas, there would be “a high chance that, before March 11, we will see hostages freed for the first time since [the first truce collapsed at the end of] November.”Axios reported earlier that the US was hoping for an agreement before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, set to begin on March 10.National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi told Channel 12 Saturday: “From what I’ve heard in the last few hours, it will be possible to make progress.”Hanegbi said Netanyahu’s key principles for a deal, conveyed to the representatives in Paris, included that “any framework must deal with [the return] of all the hostages” — including those who are dead; that it must provide for “all women and children” to be returned at the start of the process; and that the agreement “can in no way be interpreted” as providing for an end to the war.If these terms did not lead mediators to “fall off their chairs,” said Hanegbi, “then apparently it will be possible to progress.”Mossad chief David Barnea, the head of Israel’s delegation to Paris, and Shin Bet director Ronen Bar were set to brief the war cabinet on the developments in Paris Saturday night. War cabinet ministers were to vote by phone on whether to endorse the Paris outline, Channel 12 reported.Barnea and Bar returned Saturday morning from the talks in Paris. Negotiations had been stuck since Netanyahu rejected previous “delusional” demands from Hamas seeking the release of thousands of Palestinian security prisoners, including hundreds serving life sentences, an end to the war, and the withdrawal of all Israeli troops from Gaza.Over the weekend, Barnea conferred separately with CIA Director William Burns, Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed source briefed on the matter.The Egyptians and Qataris serve as mediators between Israel and Hamas, who do not negotiate directly.Appearing to confirm some of the details of the outline, a Hamas source told the AFP news agency earlier that the plan being discussed proposed a six-week pause in the fighting and the release of 200-300 Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for 35-40 hostages being held by Hamas.The Saudi A-Sharq network reported earlier that Hamas had indeed softened some of its key demands. Citing sources with knowledge of Hamas positions, the report said Hamas had lowered the number of Palestinian security prisoners it is demanding to be released under the next phase of the deal; it is no longer demanding the complete withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza, and appears to have accepted an initial truce of six weeks instead of demanding a permanent ceasefire, a departure from its earlier stance.Hamas is, however, demanding that Israeli troops withdraw from major population centers and allow displaced Gazans to return home.Another Saudi channel, Al-Haddad, also reported that Hamas was now asking for some 200-300 Palestinians to be freed in the first phase of the developing deal.An Israeli source cited by Haaretz Saturday said the progress at the Paris summit will enable the sides to present an updated framework for a deal. “Continuing progress is now up to Hamas,” it quoted an unnamed foreign diplomat saying.The next stage of the talks, according to the Israeli source, will focus on the central issue of which hostages held by terror groups in Gaza and which Palestinian security prisoners will be released in the truce, along with the specifics of the duration of the truce and the IDF’s deployment while it is in force.It is believed that 130 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza — not all of them alive — after 105 civilians were released from Hamas captivity during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were released prior to that. Three hostages have been rescued by troops alive, and the bodies of 11 hostages have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the military.Pressure has been mounted on Netanyahu’s government to negotiate a deal and secure the release of the remaining hostages.A group representing their families held a rally in Tel Aviv Saturday to demand swifter action. The families, together with activists and protesters, have been gathering weekly across Israeli cities to demand an agreement that would free their loved ones.

Sullivan: US has yet to see plan to protect Rafah civilians-Netanyahu: Total victory in Gaza will be ‘weeks away’ once Rafah operation launched-PM tells US TV that incursion could be delayed but not canceled if hostage agreement secured; US confirms an ‘understanding’ was reached in Paris on ‘basic countours’ of deal-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 8:48 pm-FEB 25,24

An Israeli military operation in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah could be “delayed somewhat” if a deal for a weekslong truce between Israel and Hamas is reached, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday, but claimed that total victory in Gaza is “weeks away” once the incursion begins.Speaking to Margaret Brennan on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” Netanyahu confirmed that a deal is in the works but did not provide details. Israeli media reported that mediators were making progress on an agreement for a temporary ceasefire and the release of dozens of hostages held captive in Gaza as well as Palestinian security prisoners held by Israel. Several Israeli media outlets, citing unnamed officials, said the war cabinet tacitly approved it.Talks resumed on Sunday in Qatar at the specialist level, Egypt’s state-run Al Qahera TV reported, citing an Egyptian official as saying further discussions would follow in Cairo with the aim of achieving the temporary ceasefire and release.Multiple reports have indicated that the outline includes the release in the first phase of some 40 hostages held in Gaza, including women, children, female soldiers and elderly and ill abductees, amid a pause in fighting of some six weeks.It also includes the release by Israel of hundreds of Palestinian terror convicts, and a “redeployment” of Israeli troops within Gaza — but not a complete withdrawal as Hamas had previously demanded. The outline would also reportedly see Israel enable the return of Palestinian women and children to northern Gaza, from where hundreds of thousands evacuated during the fighting, and which Israel has kept cut off from the rest of the enclave.Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, responded to Netanyahu’s comments, saying that they cast doubt over Israel’s willingness to secure a hostage deal.“Netanyahu’s comments show he is not concerned about reaching an agreement,” Abu Zuhri told Reuters, accusing the Israeli leader of wanting “to pursue negotiation under bombardment and the bloodshed” of Palestinians in Gaza.Meanwhile, Israel is developing plans for expanding its offensive against the Hamas terror group to Rafah on the Gaza-Egypt border, where more than half the territory’s population of 2.3 million have sought refuge. Humanitarian groups warn of a catastrophe, with Rafah the main entry point for aid, and the US and other allies have said Israel must avoid harming civilians. Israel’s political and military leaders have said the operation will not begin until the safety of non-combatants has been ensured.Margaret Brennan to Netanyahu: "There is growing distrust of you personally sir, you know this, in the US Congress and Biden White House." pic.twitter.com/of1wrfsFhz— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 25, 2024-Netanyahu has said he will convene the cabinet this week to approve operational plans for action in Rafah, including the evacuation of civilians.“Once we begin the Rafah operation, the intense phase of the fighting is weeks away from completion. Not months,” Netanyahu told CBS. “If we don’t have a deal, we’ll do it anyway. It has to be done because total victory is our goal and total victory is within reach.”He said that four of the six remaining Hamas battalions are concentrated in Rafah.US confirms Paris talks formulated ‘basic contours’ of hostage deal-US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told NBC Sunday morning that President Joe Biden hadn’t been briefed on the Rafah plan and said, “We believe that this operation should not go forward until or unless we see [a plan to protect civilians].”Sullivan also confirmed to CNN on Sunday that representatives from Israel, the US, Egypt and Qatar who met in Paris late last week “came to an understanding among the four of them about what the basic contours of a hostage deal for a temporary ceasefire would look like.”Sullivan said that any such deal “is still under negotiation in terms of hammering out the details of it. There will have to be indirect discussions by Qatar and Egypt with Hamas because ultimately they will have to agree to release the hostages,” he added. “That work is underway. And we hope that in the coming days, we can drive to a point where there is actually a firm and final agreement on this issue.”Speaking to CBS, Netanyahu was asked about “growing distrust of you personally” by Congress and the Biden White House. “When you’re closest ally is telling you things like this and telling you you need to reconsider a strategy, isn’t it worth considering?” Brennan queried the prime minister.Netanyahu eventually responded to the remark: “Well, first of all, you say there’s no confidence in me, well the Israeli public has confidence in me.” The prime minister’s approval ratings, however, have plummeted since October 7 and almost all polls show that he would not be able to form a coalition were early elections to be held.On the differences over strategy between the US and Israel, the prime minister said that he thinks “the US agrees with us on the goal of destroying Hamas and the goal of releasing the hostages. The decisions on how to do that are left with us, and with me, and with the elected cabinet of Israel.“A lot of things that we were told by the best of friends initially turned out to not be true,” Netanyahu continued. “They said ‘you can’t enter the ground war without having enormous complications,’ they said ‘you can’t enter Gaza City, you can’t go into the tunnels, it will be a terrible bloodbath.’ All that turned out to be not true,” he said.“Our soldiers are in the tunnel network. We don’t have to take apart hundreds of kilometers of tunnels. We are taking apart the missile production factories that are underground, the command and control headquarters, the computers that are there, the money that is there, the weapons that are there, and the ammo that is there. We’re doing that methodically,” he continued.“You can’t substitute for the Israeli military command, and we’re doing it very responsibly. John Spencer, who’s the head of urban warfare [at the Modern War Institute], says that no other army has gone to the lengths that Israel’s army has gone to clear civilians out of harm’s way even though Hamas is doing everything to keep them in harm’s way,” Netanyahu added.Since the beginning of the war, more than 29,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry. These numbers cannot be independently verified and do not differentiate between Hamas operatives and civilians. The IDF says it has killed more than 12,000 Hamas gunmen during its operations in Gaza so far.The war broke out following Hamas’s October 7 attack, which saw Hamas terrorists kill some 1,200 people in a rampage through southern Israel, mostly civilians massacred amid brutal atrocities, and kidnap 253 people. Some 130 are still held in Gaza.

Gallant: Israel will increase strikes on Hezbollah even during potential Gaza truce-IDF strikes multiple targets in Lebanon as well as a cell on Sunday amid continuing attacks on the north from the terrorist organization-By Emanuel Fabian-26 February 2024, 12:27 am

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel would increase its strikes on Hezbollah in response to its daily attacks on northern Israel, including amid a potential temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.“We are planning to increase the firepower against Hezbollah, which is unable to find replacements for the commanders we are eliminating,” Gallant said Sunday during a visit to the IDF Northern Command headquarters in Safed.The defense minister emphasized that strikes on Hezbollah would continue even if Israel signed a hostage deal with Hamas, which would see a pause in fighting in Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners in return for freeing the hostages held in the Strip.“In the event of a temporary truce in Gaza, we will increase the fire in the north, and will continue until the full withdrawal of Hezbollah [from the border] and the return of the residents to their homes,” he said, referring to some 80,000 Israelis displaced by Hezbollah’s attacks.“The goal is simple — to push Hezbollah back to where it should be. Either by an agreement or by force,” Gallant added.Earlier in the day, the IDF said it struck a Hezbollah cell that was spotted coming out of a building known to be used by the terror group in the south Lebanon town of Blida.Another two buildings were struck by fighter jets in the same area, the IDF added.The IDF also said that it had earlier intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon, in the Galilee panhandle.It also shelled rocket launch sites in south Lebanon following attacks on Mount Dov, Kiryat Shmona, Menara and Malkia.Hezbollah said that four of its terrorists were killed in the Israeli strikes on Sunday, bringing the group’s death toll since the beginning of the war in Gaza to 214.The war began on October 7 with Hamas’s unprecedented attack on Israel’s south in which terrorists murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 253 others.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war against Hamas there.So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in six civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 10 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.Israel has warned that it will no longer tolerate the presence of Hezbollah along the Lebanon frontier, where it could attempt to carry out an attack similar to the massacre committed by Hamas on October 7.A failure of international diplomacy to force Hezbollah away from the border would necessitate an Israeli offensive, the country has said.

Two Hezbollah members killed as Israel allegedly strikes Syria-Lebanon border-Several rockets fired at northern Israel after attack on truck near in Qusayr south of Homs, thought to be a Hezbollah stronghold-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 11:56 amUpdated at 3:16 pm-FEB 25,24

Two members of the Hezbollah terror group were killed as Israel allegedly carried out an airstrike on a truck near the Syrian-Lebanon border Sunday morning.Footage showed the truck engulfed in flames on a road outside Qusayr, a Syrian city south of Homs near the border with northern Lebanon.Shortly after the strike, Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah announced that two of its operatives were killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes. It did not say where the two were killed.The pair, named as Hussein al-Dirani and Ahmed al-Afi, were from Qsarnaba and Brital, two towns in the Baalbek District, adjacent to the Syrian region where the alleged Israeli strike took place.Their deaths brought the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 214.Shortly after the reported strike and throughout Sunday afternoon, several volleys of rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel, all apparently landing in open areas, according to the Israel Defense Forces and police.There were no reports of damage or injuries.Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying it targeted an army base near Margaliot and IDF positions near Kiryat Shmona. It also claimed to have targeted an army base in the Mount Dov region on the border.The Israeli military declined to comment on the strike near Qusayr, an area identified in the past as a Hezbollah stronghold. There was no comment from Syrian authorities.While Israel does not, as a rule, comment on specific strikes in Syria, it has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed terror groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country over the last decade. The Israeli military says it attacks arms shipments believed to be bound for those groups, chief among them Hezbollah. Additionally, airstrikes attributed to Israel have repeatedly targeted Syrian air defense systems.Active hostilities between Israel and Iran-backed groups, especially Hezbollah, have escalated since October 7, when Palestinian terror group Hamas launched an onslaught into southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and kidnapping 253 others. Israel has responded with a devastating military campaign in Gaza aimed at toppling Hamas and freeing the hostages.Since October 8, Hezbollah has launched hundreds of rockets, drones and anti-tank missiles at northern Israel, drawing Israeli strikes in response.A truck was reportedly targeted in an Israeli airstrike near the Syrian town of Qusayr, close to the Lebanon border. pic.twitter.com/9seno7BE1l— Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) February 25, 2024-Syria alleged last week that an Israeli airstrike killed two people in an apartment building in the Kafr Sousa district in Syria’s capital Damascus — a neighborhood that hosts residential buildings, schools, and Iranian cultural centers and lies near a large, heavily guarded complex used by security agencies. Iran’s semi-official Student News Network said the attack did not kill any Iranian nationals or advisers.Iran, which also backs Hamas, has sought to stay out of Israel’s war with the terror group directly even as its proxies have entered the fray from Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria — the so-called “Axis of Resistance” that is hostile to Israeli and US interests.So far, the skirmishes with Hezbollah on Israel’s northern border have resulted in six civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 10 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.

Hezbollah fires rockets, drone at Galilee as Israeli jets pounds southern Lebanon-Rockets fired at Kiryat Shmona knocked down by Iron Dome; IDF says it targeted terror group arms depot site after seeing operatives go inside-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 9:18 am-FEB 25,24

Air defenses intercepted rockets shot at towns near the restive northern border and a fighter jet shot down a drone heading into Israel as fighting along Israel’s northern border showed no sign of slowing Saturday.A number of rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Kiryat Shmona and surrounding areas late Saturday, with the Iron Dome air defense system successfully swatting away much of the barrage, the Israel Defense Forces said.The attack came about two hours after the IDF carried out airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in south Lebanon, including a weapons depot where a cell of operatives were gathered, the military said.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack on Kiryat Shmona, which has been repeatedly rocked by projectiles launched from across the nearby border. The city, like most towns along the northern border in the Galilee, has been largely evacuated of civilians.Throughout the day rockets were also fired from Lebanon at Arab al-Aramshe, Hanita, and the Mount Dov area. There are no reports of damage or injuries.The exchange came amid daily attacks by the Hezbollah terror group on northern Israel as the country is simultaneously battling the Palestinian terror group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The IDF has responded to the attacks while also increasingly taking the initiative, striking deeper into Lebanon, as it vows it will not accept Hezbollah’s presence along the border where the conflict has displaced tens of thousands of people from northern communities.Hezbollah, meanwhile, has appeared to step up its use of armed drones, seemingly launching several into Israel in recent days.Drone alerts went off in several towns in northern Israel Saturday morning and again in the early afternoon. The military said following the second alert that a “suspicious aerial target” that was heading toward Israeli airspace from Lebanon was downed by a fighter jet in Lebanese airspace. The first alert was apparently a false alarm.An Israeli fighter jet also struck a Hezbollah weapons depot in the southern Lebanese village of Matmoura after spotting a group of operatives entering the building, the IDF said.The military noted there were significant secondary explosions after the initial strike indicating that weapons were located inside, and released a video of the bombing.Fighter jets also struck several more buildings used by Hezbollah in Rab el-Thalathine, Ayta ash-Shab, and Blida, the IDF said.The army said it also targeted a command center belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force in Baraachit, and rocket launching sites and other infrastructure in Jabal Blat.Troops also shelled areas near Rachaya al-Foukhar with artillery to “remove threats,” the IDF added.Hezbollah claimed attacks throughout Saturday. There were no reports of casualties by the terror group or in the Lebanese press.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war there.War erupted in Gaza when Hamas on October 7 carried out a devastating attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, amid horrific atrocities. Israel responded with a military offensive to destroy Hamas, remove it from power in Gaza, and free 253 hostages who were abducted by the thousands of attackers who burst into southern Israel during the Hamas assault.Israel has warned it can no longer tolerate Hezbollah’s presence along its border and has warned that should a diplomatic solution not be reached, it will turn to military action to push Hezbollah northward.So far, the skirmishes on the Lebanese border have resulted in six civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 10 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.Foreign Minister Israel Katz warned the UN on Friday that if the global body, which has a peacekeeping force deployed along the Lebanese side of the border, does not act against Hezbollah then Israel will take matters into its own hands.Hezbollah has named 211 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 32 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 30 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.French, US, and other officials have been attempting for months to tamp down the possibility of any escalation along Israel’s northern border, but no breakthroughs appear to be on the horizon.

US, UK pummel Houthi sites across Yemen as Red Sea attacks escalate-In 4th joint operation, fighter jets hit 18 targets in 8 locations; Iran-backed rebels denounce ‘US-British aggression’ while Washington admits Houthis yet to be deterred-By Lolita C. Baldor and TARA COPP Today, 10:28 am-FEB 25,24

WASHINGTON (AP) — The US and Britain struck 18 Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday, answering a recent surge in attacks by the Iran-backed rebel group on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, including a missile strike this past week that set fire to a cargo vessel.According to US officials, American and British fighter jets hit sites in eight locations, targeting missiles, launchers, rockets, drones, and air defense systems. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to provide early details of an ongoing military operation.This is the fourth time that the US and British militaries have conducted a combined operation against the Houthis since January 12. But the US has also been carrying out almost daily strikes to take out Houthi targets, including incoming missiles and drones aimed at ships, as well as weapons that were prepared to launch.The US F/A-18 fighter jets launched from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier, which is currently in the Red Sea, officials said.“The United States will not hesitate to take action, as needed, to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in one of the world’s most critical waterways,” said US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. “We will continue to make clear to the Houthis that they will bear the consequences if they do not stop their illegal attacks.”The Houthis denounced the “US-British aggression” and vowed to keep up its military operation in response. “The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that they will confront the US-British escalation with more qualitative military operations against all hostile targets in the Red and Arabian Seas in defense of our country, our people, and our nation,” it said in a statement.The US, UK, and other allies said in a statement the “necessary and proportionate strikes specifically targeted 18 Houthi targets across 8 locations in Yemen” that also included underground storage facilities, radar, and a helicopter.UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said RAF Typhoon jets engaged in “precision strikes” aimed at degrading Houthi drones and launchers. Shapps said it came after “severe Houthi attacks against commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, including against the British-owned MV Islander and the MV Rubymar, which forced the crew to abandon ship.” It’s the fourth time Britain has joined in the US-led strikes.The strikes have support from the wider coalition, which includes Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand.US President Joe Biden and other senior leaders have repeatedly warned that the US won’t tolerate the Houthi attacks against commercial shipping. But the counterattacks haven’t appeared to diminish the Houthis’ campaign against shipping in the region, which the rebels say is over Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.“Our aim remains to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the Red Sea, but we will once again reiterate our warning to Houthi leadership: we will not hesitate to continue to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in the face of continued threats,” said the Saturday statement.The Houthis have launched at least 57 attacks on commercial and military ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November 19, and the pace has picked up in recent days.“We’ve certainly seen in the past 48, 72 hours an increase in attacks from the Houthis,” Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said in a briefing Thursday. And she acknowledged that the Houthis have not been deterred.“We never said we’ve wiped off the map all of their capabilities,” she told reporters. “We know that the Houthis maintain a large arsenal. They are very capable. They have sophisticated weapons, and that’s because they continue to get them from Iran.”There have been at least 32 US strikes in Yemen over the past month and a half; a few were conducted with allied involvement. In addition, US warships have taken out dozens of incoming missiles, rockets, and drones targeting commercial and other Navy vessels.Earlier Saturday, the destroyer USS Mason downed an anti-ship ballistic missile launched from Houthi-held areas in Yemen toward the Gulf of Aden, US Central Command said, adding that the missile was likely targeting MV Torm Thor, a US-Flagged, owned, and operated chemical and oil tanker.The US attacks on the Houthis have targeted more than 120 launchers, more than 10 surface-to-air-missiles, 40 storage and support buildings, 15 drone storage buildings, more than 20 unmanned air, surface, and underwater vehicles, several underground storage areas, and a few other facilities.The rebels’ supreme leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, announced this past week an “escalation in sea operations” conducted by his forces as part of what they describe as a pressure campaign to end Israel’s war on Hamas, which was sparked by the terror group’s October 7 onslaught on southern Israeli communities. Some 1,200 people were killed, mostly civilians, and another 253 were taken hostage in the shock assault.Aside from targeting vessels sailing off Yemen, the group has also fired ballistic missiles and drones at the southern Israel city of Eilat.While the group says the attacks are aimed at stopping that war, the Houthis’ targets have grown more random, endangering a vital waterway for cargo and energy shipments traveling from Asia and the Middle East onward to Europe.During normal operations, about 400 commercial vessels transit the southern Red Sea at any given time. While the Houthi attacks have only actually struck a small number of vessels, the persistent targeting and near misses that have been shot down by the US and allies have prompted shipping companies to reroute their vessels from the Red Sea.Instead, they have sent them around Africa through the Cape of Good Hope — a much longer, costlier, and less efficient passage. The threats also have led the US and its allies to set up a joint mission where warships from participating nations provide a protective umbrella of air defense for ships as they travel between the Suez Canal and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.In Thursday’s attack in the Gulf of Aden, the Houthis fired two missiles at a Palau-flagged cargo ship named Islander, according to Central Command. A European naval force in the region said the attack sparked a fire and wounded a sailor on board the vessel, though the ship continued on its way.Central Command launched attacks on Houthi-held areas in Yemen on Friday, destroying seven mobile anti-ship cruise missiles that the military said were prepared to launch toward the Red Sea.A handout picture released by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) on February 23, 2024, shows the M/V Rubymar, a Belize-flagged, UK-owned bulk carrier leaking oil in the Gulf of Aden after taking significant damage after an attack by Iran-backed Houthi terrorists on February 18, which caused an 18-mile oil slick. (CENTCOM)-Central Command also said Saturday that a Houthi attack on a Belize-flagged ship on February 18 caused an 18-mile (29-kilometer) oil slick and the. military warned of the danger of a spill from the vessel’s cargo of fertilizer. The Rubymar, a British-registered, Lebanese-operated cargo vessel, was attacked while sailing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.The missile attack forced the crew to abandon the vessel, which had been on its way to Bulgaria after leaving Khorfakkan in the United Arab Emirates. It was transporting more than 41,000 tons of fertilizer, according to a Central Command statement.The Associated Press, relying on satellite images from Planet Labs PBC of the stricken vessel, reported Tuesday that the vessel was leaking oil in the Red Sea.Yemen’s internationally recognized government on Saturday called for other countries and maritime-protection organizations to quickly address the oil slick and avert “a significant environmental disaster.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

In rebuttal of Lula, Brazil’s ex-leader Bolsonaro waves Israeli flag at mass rally-Former president — and many of his supporters — display flag of Israel in rejection of current president’s comparison of war against Hamas to the Holocaust-By AFP and ToI Staff Today, 11:19 pm-FEB 25,24

SAO PAULO, Brazil – Thousands of Brazilians poured into the streets of Sao Paulo on Sunday after ex-president Jair Bolsonaro – theatrically waving an Israeli flag – called for a show of support as he faces accusations that he plotted a coup to stay in power.Dressed in the green and yellow of Brazil’s flag, which Bolsonaro claimed as a symbol while in office, an immense crowd of his supporters thronged Paulista Avenue, one of the main arteries in the country’s economic capital.Bolsonaro arrived waving the Israeli flag – a rejection of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s remarks last week comparing Israel’s offensive in Gaza to the Holocaust – before putting his hand to his chest for the national anthem. A number of Israeli flags could be seen prominently in the crowds gathered for the rally.While on a visit to Addis Ababa to attend the African Union Summit last week, Lula, who took office a year ago, told reporters that “what’s happening in the Gaza Strip isn’t a war, it’s a genocide.”“It’s not a war of soldiers against soldiers. It’s a war between a highly prepared army and women and children,” the veteran leftist politician added falsely.Following Lula’s comments, Foreign Minister Israel Katz – a child of Holocaust survivors – summoned the Brazilian ambassador, Frederico Meyer, to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem and told him Israel “will not forget and we will not forgive” Lula’s comments, using a phrase Israelis often reserve for the horrors of the Holocaust itself.Nevertheless, Lula received backing from his Colombian and Bolivian counterparts. In protest of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, Bolivia cut ties with Israel in October, and Colombia and Chile recalled their ambassadors.While Lula had initially described Hamas’s brutal October 7 onslaught on southern Israel – in which close to 1,200 people were killed, mostly civilians, and 253 were kidnapped – as a “terrorist” act, he has since grown vocally critical of Israel’s response.Bolsonaro, a 68-year-old former army officer, had urged his backers to attend a “peaceful rally in defense of the democratic rule of law” in Sao Paulo, which organizers hoped would draw at least 500,000 people.Bolsonaro has had his passport seized by police as he and his inner circle face scrutiny over plans to try to remain in power after he lost the 2022 elections to Lula.The former president was exuberantly pro-Israel during his tenure. In one of his first moves after winning the presidential election of 2018, Bolsonaro vowed to follow the lead of his political role model, then-US president Donald Trump, and move Brazil’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.Instead, however, the South American country opened a trade office in the Israeli capital in 2019, in a move characterized as a precursor to opening an embassy in the city.Bolsonaro also cultivated close ties with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and was seen as one of his key international allies.

Smotrich vows to vote against ‘delusional’ hostage deal ahead of Qatar talks-PM said to demand Palestinian prisoners convicted of the most serious crimes be deported, seen as likely hamstring to ongoing negotiations; Qatar emir due in Paris for discussions
By ToI Staff Today, 10:40 pm-FEB 25,24

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday that he was against the “delusional” outline for a hostage deal that an Israeli delegation was set to negotiate in Qatar on Monday.The outline, which was proposed in a forum in Paris over the weekend, seemingly involves Hamas releasing 40 hostages including, women, children, female soldiers, and elderly and ill abductees in exchange for a six-week pause in fighting and Israel releasing hundreds of Palestinian terror convicts.Shas leader Aryeh Deri, an observer on the war cabinet, told the ultra-Orthodox news outlet Kikar HaShabbat on Sunday that there was a “good chance of a deal” happening but that “we are still far from it.”“We want to create a good deal that will achieve several goals but also be accepted by the Israeli public,” he said of the challenges coming up in the negotiations. “It’s not a simple deal, we don’t have feedback from Hamas yet, everything we do is via mediators.” Smotrich, however, said in a conference in Jerusalem on Sunday that in his opinion, the outline was not good, adding that “the next deal should be better for us with the ratio of hostages to terrorists and the days of respite for each hostage, certainly not an infinitely worse ratio.”The finance minister went on to say that as it stood, the current outline saw Hamas gaining more than Israel in the deal and that he would vote against anything similar to it.He also defended comments last week that he was heavily criticized for in which he said that the hostages were not the most important thing in the war.“I said that the matter of the hostages is important, but not the most important thing,” he said. “Look at how much fire I took last week just because I said the most logical and correct thing.”An Israeli delegation was scheduled to head to Qatar on Monday for further negotiations of the outline, while Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani is set to visit Paris on Tuesday and Wednesday.“Qatar is notably working on the release of the hostages, which is a priority for us,” said a French presidential official. Three French nationals are among those still held by Hamas.The discussions will also focus on “ongoing efforts to obtain a ceasefire… and enable massive aid to be provided to the Gazan population,” added the official.Meanwhile, unnamed sources told Channel 12 News on Sunday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was intentionally sabotaging the talks in Qatar by setting stricter conditions and revoking the Israeli representatives’ ability to discuss most topics.According to Channel 12, Netanyahu had set a new condition for a deal ahead of the talks by which Israel would only agree to it if the terrorists convicted of the most serious crimes who would be released from Israeli prisons could be expelled to Qatar.The report also said that while Israeli negotiators had initially been given the authority to discuss a wide variety of topics, Netanyahu had at the last minute limited them to matters only concerning humanitarian issues such as the number of trucks carrying aid into the Gaza Strip and how much food would be allowed in.The war began on October 7 when Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel in which thousands of terrorists rampaged through southern towns murdering some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping 253.It is believed that 130 of the hostages remain in Gaza — not all of them alive — after 105 civilians were released from Hamas captivity during a weeklong truce in late November. Four hostages were released before that, and three were rescued by troops. The bodies of eight hostages have also been recovered and three hostages were mistakenly killed by the military. One more person has been listed as missing since October 7, and their fate is still unknown.During the November truce, 105 hostages, mostly women and children, were released in groups of 15 or so over a week. For every group of at least 10 hostages released by Hamas, Israel held off fighting in the Gaza Strip and released 50 female and minor Palestinian convicts from prison.Subsequent negotiations for a new deal to facilitate the release of more hostages have thus far not yielded any results as Hamas kept demanding a permanent ceasefire in exchange for the hostages. Israel has repeatedly said that an end to the war was not a realistic demand and would not agree to any deal that required it.Meanwhile, pressure has been mounted on Netanyahu’s government to negotiate a deal and secure the release of the remaining hostages.A group representing their families held a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday to demand swifter action. The families, together with activists and protesters, have been gathering weekly across Israeli cities to demand an agreement that would free their loved ones.AFP contributed to this report.

US House speaker slams Biden admin for restoring policy against Israeli settlements-Mike Johnson says decision an ‘absolute disgrace,’ calls to ‘stop undermining Israel’ as it ‘fights terrorists on multiple fronts’By Jacob Magid-and ToI Staff Today, 5:57 amUpdated at 7:40 pm-FEB 25,24

US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson blasted the Biden administration’s decision to restore a former US policy that considers settlements inconsistent with international law after it had been altered by the previous administration.“The Jewish people have a historic and legal right to live in the land of Israel including in Judea and Samaria – the Biblical heartland,” the Republican speaker wrote on X on Saturday.“It is an absolute disgrace the Biden administration would issue this decision, especially as Israel fights terrorists on multiple fronts that seek Israel’s destruction and as more than 130 hostages remain in Gaza,” he continued. “The Biden Administration must stop undermining Israel and facilitating efforts to delegitimize Israel. It is misguided and unconscionable.”Speaking about the decision on Friday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken characterized settlements as “inconsistent with international law,” effectively revoking what became known as the “Pompeo doctrine,” which deemed settlements “not per se inconsistent with international law.”The 2019 policy implemented by Trump’s secretary of state Mike Pompeo rejected views held for decades by administrations from both parties that maintained varying degrees of adversarial relationships with West Bank settlements. The Pompeo policy — for the first time — saw the US take a neutral, if not supportive, view of Israel’s presence beyond the Green Line.Blinken’s remarks restored the validity of a 1978 State Department memo that viewed settlements as illegal, a US official told The Times of Israel earlier this week, adding that a more formal step wasn’t required because Pompeo’s policy was merely announced in a statement akin to the one made Friday by his successor. The new Biden policy is also consistent with that of former president Barack Obama, who allowed a UN Security Council resolution to pass in 2016 that also deemed settlements to be illegal under international law.Ambassador David Friedman is absolutely correct. This is a shameful decision. The Jewish people have a historic and legal right to live in the land of Israel including in Judea and Samaria – the biblical heartland. It is an absolute disgrace the Biden administration would… https://t.co/ZfqO17WIQT— Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) February 23, 2024-“It’s been longstanding US policy under Republican and Democratic administrations alike that new settlements are counterproductive to reaching an enduring peace,” Blinken noted on Friday. “Our administration maintains firm opposition to settlement expansion and in our judgment, this only weakens — doesn’t strengthen — Israel’s security,” Blinken added.Blinken’s remarks came hours after Israel announced a plan to advance the construction of thousands of new settlement homes in response to a terror shooting in the West Bank.Late Thursday, hours after a deadly terror shooting near the Ma’ale Adumim settlement, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced that Israel will advance plans for the construction of more than 3,000 settlement homes in response to the attack in which three Palestinian gunmen opened fire near a checkpoint between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim, killing an Israeli man and wounding 11 others.Smotrich said in a statement that the decision to advance plans for 2,350 new housing units in Ma’ale Adumim, 300 in Keidar and 694 in Efrat was made during a meeting he held with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer. It was the latest demonstration of the influence that the far-right minister holds in Netanyahu’s government, as the premier continues to rely on the support of his Orthodox coalition partners to remain in power.In what may have been an attempt to soften the response from Washington, the three settlements that the top Israeli ministers earmarked for construction — Ma’ale Adumim, Efrat and Keidar — are all located west of the West Bank security barrier, in areas perceived to enjoy more consensus Israeli support, as opposed to more isolated settlements dozens of kilometers east of the Green Line.But the swift nature in which the US moved with Friday’s announcement highlighted Washington’s ever-shrinking patience with Israel’s policy in the West Bank, as the administration continues to come under fire from progressives at home and many allies abroad over its broad support for Israel in the war against Hamas, triggered by the terror group’s October 7 massacre.Despite pressure from progressive pro-Israel organizations, the Biden administration had held off for over three years in revoking the Pompeo doctrine, as it avoided moves seen as overly confrontational with Jerusalem.

A New York Yiddish center finds Nazis lurking deep within Hamas’s ideology-Starting Feb. 26, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research sponsors a 3-part webinar with scholars countering the view that October 7 was ‘payback’ for Israel’s rule over the West Bank
By Renee Ghert-Zand-Today, 9:35 am-FEB 25,24

When in the aftermath of the Hamas October 7 attack on Israel, Jonathan Brent heard many people’s pro-Palestinian reactions — including those of some young Jews — it was obvious to him that they did not have a full understanding of why it happened.Brent, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research executive director and CEO, felt his organization was in a position to try to educate about what motivated Hamas: The terror group’s radical, genocidal, and anti-Jewish Islamism emerged in the 1930s and 1940s when it was fed by an ideological connection with Hitler’s Nazism.Brent invited historian of modern Germany Jeffrey Herf, who has studied the Hamas-Nazism link, to curate a three-part webinar series hosted by YIVO titled, “The Origins and Ideology of Hamas.”“YIVO has the second largest collection of primary materials on the Holocaust. The subject of genocide against the Jews is central to our institute. It is well within the historical parameters of the YIVO to investigate an act of genocide against the Jews of this sort,” Brent said.The free series begins on February 26 and features scholars whose work Brent and Herf believe does not get enough attention. This international group includes Israeli historian Benny Morris, German political scientist Matthias Küntzel, Israeli Middle East historian Meir Litvak, American Holocaust studies professor Norman Goda, German sociologist Karin Stögner, and British sociologist David Hirsh.Brent told The Times of Israel that he hopes young progressives in particular will be willing to tune in and be open to information that they would likely never hear on their college campuses with the current pervasive anti-Israel political climate.While Israel’s rule over the West Bank is most certainly a major controversy in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Brent said he wants people to know that this is not the sole issue at play.“The terrorists who savagely attacked Israel have been reared in a culture of genocidal hate that goes back eight decades and was integral to the formation of Hamas and its continued existence,” Brent said.“This is a very powerful weapon against the Jewish people worldwide as we now see from the unbelievable growth of antisemitism around the globe today,” he said.The historical context for Hamas-According to historian Herf, the overarching goal of the webinar series is to provide the historical context for Hamas as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, and for the ideology that led it to build an extensive tunnel system under Gaza, arm itself to the teeth, and commit mass murder and a myriad of atrocities against Israelis on October 7.The first session on February 26 will feature Herf in a discussion with  Küntzel.“It will deal with the 1930s and 1940s and a very famous and important 1937 text by [Jerusalem Grand Mufti] Haj Amin al-Husseini titled, ‘Islam and the Jews.’ It’s one of those canonical texts of 20th-century intellectual cultural history that deserves much more attention,” Herf said.“It is a founding text of Islamism and of the interpretation of Islam which interprets that religion as inherently anti-Jewish. This means it is hostile to Judaism, the Jewish people, and therefore, the State of Israel. So the anti-Zionism is a direct result of the antagonism,” he said.The session will also cover the collaborations between the proponents of this anti-Jewish Islamism and the Nazi regime. Herf emphasized that there were already Islamist intellectuals writing and spreading their ideas in the Middle East and that it fused culturally with the antisemitic conspiracy theories spread through Nazi propaganda.“This was all very famous at the time and not at all secret. If you were alive at the time and politically aware, you would have known about this,” Herf noted.“But this has faded from memory and has not been sufficiently discussed since. Palestinian nationalists have come up with various excuses and apologia to obscure the depth and importance of those things,” he said.An Arabic version of ‘Mein Kampf’ found on the body of a Hamas fighter in the Gaza Strip, displayed by President Isaac Herzog during an interview with the BBC, November 12, 2023. (President’s Residence)-According to Herf, Küntzel will talk about Israel’s War [of Independence] in 1948 and place it in this context. Herf said that Küntzel describes the war as “an aftershock” of the Nazi-Islamist alliance of World War II and sees it as a war of religion reminiscent of wars of religion in pre-modern times.In the second session, on March 25, Herf will host Morris. The topic will be “Colonialism, Racism, and the Arab-Israeli War of 1948.” Herf will speak about the international context of the war, and Morris will elaborate on the main points of his 2008 book, “1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War.”“He will examine the military history of the 1948 War and as a result the controversies about Palestinian refugees. That will challenge the argument that the 1948 War was a war of dispossession of the Palestinians, something called the Nakba [catastrophe],” Herf said.Why the antisemitic responses to Oct. 7?

The third and final session on April 16 will examine responses to October 7. Hirsh, director of the London Center for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, will speak about the left and anti-Zionism in Britain.

“His organization emerged from members of the British Labor Party who were protesting the antisemitism in the party when Jeremy Corbyn was its leader,” Herf said.Herf invited American Holocaust studies professor Goda to present his “astute and trenchant” insights about the International Court of Justice prompted by accusations of genocide brought by South Africa against Israel.“Meir Litvak, perhaps Israel’s leading historian, and analyst of Islamism and Islamist antisemitism, will discuss the Islamization of the Palestinian movement as evidenced in Hamas,” Herf said.“Finally, Stögner will talk about intersectionality, feminism, and the bizarre response of feminists in the United States and Europe to Islamist ideology,” he said.Herf admitted that the full program is packed, but he hoped people would nonetheless consider it a worthwhile mini-course and register for all three sessions. According to YIVO, more than 1,200 people had signed up as of mid-February.Brent said he hoped people of all ages would watch  and listen, especially young Jews who are well-meaning and want to work for justice but do not grasp that chanting catchy slogans like “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” is, in his opinion, dangerous for the global Jewish people“The pervasiveness of the ideology of Palestinian liberation and of anti-Israel and antisemitic thinking that accompanies this ideology has much graver importance in the Jewish world than I think a lot of people really understand,” Brent said.“The dangers are not only from without… There is an equally potent danger from within Jewish culture, particularly of the left that has over many decades — perhaps hundreds of years, even going back before the whole Israeli-Arab conflict — assimilated certain ideas that have caused them to turn against themselves,” he said-Herf agreed and added that the threats from without are to be taken at face value. Having studied Nazi Germany and the Holocaust for much of his career, he feels a responsibility and obligation to make sure that what happened in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s does not happen again to anybody.“When [Iran’s leaders] or [Hamas’s] Sinwar or whoever says they want to destroy the Jewish state, throw the Jews in the sea, or kill the Jew hiding behind the tree, I take them seriously. They’re not kidding,” Herf said.Recordings of the webinar’s sessions will be available for viewing free of charge on YIVO’s website.

US says it shot down 3 Houthi attack drones, destroyed 7 missiles targeting Red Sea-CENTCOM says the anti-ship cruise missiles were located on land and strike was in self-defense-By AFP 24 February 2024, 3:40 pm

American forces shot down three attack drones near commercial ships in the Red Sea on Friday and destroyed seven anti-ship cruise missiles positioned on land, the US military said.Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have been targeting shipping for months and their attacks have persisted despite repeated American and British strikes aimed at degrading the rebels’ ability to threaten a vital global trade route.Early on Friday, US forces “shot down three Houthi one-way attack [drones] near several commercial ships operating in the Red Sea. There was no damage to any ships,” the Central Command (CENTCOM) said on social media.In a statement later in the day, CENTCOM said US forces destroyed “seven Iranian-backed Houthi mobile anti-ship cruise missiles that were prepared to launch towards the Red Sea.”It said those strikes, carried out between 12:30 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Sana’a time, were made in self-defense.“CENTCOM forces identified these missiles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined that they presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and to the US Navy ships in the region,” it said in a statement.The day prior, American forces struck four Houthi drones as well as two anti-ship cruise missiles, CENTCOM said, adding that the weapons “were prepared to launch from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen towards the Red Sea.”The Houthis began attacking Red Sea shipping in November, a campaign they say is in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war triggered by the terror group’s October 7 onslaught.The group has also fired ballistic missiles and drones at the southern Israel city of Eilat.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Interview 'Biden is leading us to a disaster' Far-right minister Eliyahu warns Palestinian state ‘would lead to a holocaust’ US push for two-state solution a ‘very big mistake,’ argues heritage minister; says reestablishing Jewish settlement in Gaza Strip is critical for postwar security-By Sam Sokol-24 February 2024, 5:05 pm

Pushing back against American pressure to revive a long moribund peace process, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu warned this week that US President Joe Biden “is leading us to a disaster.”Speaking to The Times of Israel in his Knesset office on Monday, Eliyahu, a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, explained that while he was grateful for everything the Biden administration has done for Israel since October 7, he believes that the establishment of a Palestinian state next to Israel “would lead to a holocaust.”“I want to say thank you to the United States and the Biden administration for all of their support,” but “Biden is making a very big mistake,” he declared, asserting that US support for establishing a Palestinian state when an overwhelming majority of Palestinians “support the barbaric massacre” shows that “terror pays and will get you what you want.”A December 2023 poll found that 57 percent of respondents in Gaza and 82% in the West Bank believed Hamas was correct in launching its onslaught, in which some 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians, were murdered and over 240 were taken hostage.“What kind of racism is it on our part that we don’t believe what [the Palestinians] say,” he asked.Eliyahu’s comments came weeks after his party leader, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, harshly criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the war in Gaza in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in which he argued that Israel would have been better off dealing with a second Trump administration.Since October, the Biden administration has broadly supported Israel’s declared war goals of dismantling Hamas and bringing home the hostages, vetoed UN Security Council resolutions seeking to impose a permanent ceasefire, fast-tracked the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of munitions to Israel, bypassing congressional review, and delivered hundreds of planeloads of military equipment.At the same time, however, Washington has emphasized what it sees as the importance of a reformed Palestinian Authority ultimately governing Gaza along with the West Bank, and urged Israel to open a pathway to a Palestinian state.Aside from raising the specter of another Jewish genocide if the establishment of a Palestinian state were to go ahead, Eliyahu used similar language to object to efforts to limit Ben Gvir’s demand for restrictions on Muslim access to the Al-Aqsa compound atop the Temple Mount during Ramadan.“How legitimate is it that there is a complete month during which Jews are afraid,” he asked, apparently referring in particular to the events of 2021 when violence between Jews and Arabs broke out in many mixed cities following clashes at the Jerusalem holy site.It’s like something from “the previous century, from the 1930s. Don’t forget that we are not yet 100 years from the Holocaust,” Eliyahu said, calling on the government to avoid “surrendering” to threats of violence. Eliyahu has a history of contentious rhetoric, including accusing Israel’s security chiefs of “rebelling” against the current coalition, calling anti-government protesters “evil” and dubbing Bank of Israel governor Amir Yaron a “savage.”More recently, he sparked international outrage by claiming that dropping a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip was an option, a statement called “detached from reality” by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.This statement was later cited by South Africa in a motion accusing Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice, prompting Eliyahu to later brag that “even in The Hague they know my position.”Asked if he regretted talking about potentially using nuclear weapons in Gaza, Eliyahu insisted that the interviewer had put words in his mouth.“They asked me if I’m in favor of nuclear weapons and I said we have to find what hurts them and will cause them to stop,” he said, dismissing concerns that his words were being used by Israel’s enemies to bolster claims of genocidal intent.Despite his own and other Israeli politicians’ oft-heated language, Eliyahu said he believes that most of his colleagues, on the right and the left, “are good people” who are concerned with the interests of the nation.This includes Netanyahu, who despite “many disagreements” is a leader who works so hard that he “doesn’t sleep at night,” Eliyahu continued. He dismissed calls in some quarters for early elections — despite his own party’s previous threats to bolt the coalition.Turning to the cabinet’s difficulty in formulating a plan for the “day after” hostilities end in Gaza, Eliyahu said that while he was “worried” that “there is no agreement” on future steps, the government’s internal arguments were a sign that Israel is a healthy democracy.After months of fighting in the Gaza Strip, as of Monday’s interview, the government had yet to articulate a clear outline for how it plans to avoid finding itself maintaining a lengthy reoccupation if and when it defeats Hamas, which has ruled the coastal enclave since 2007.Palestinian women and children look out from a heavily damaged building on February 22, 2024, in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. (Mohammed Abed/AFP)-While Netanyahu’s hard-right coalition allies have called for the reestablishment of Jewish settlements and the “voluntary emigration” of Palestinians, others, like war cabinet member Minister Benny Gantz, have said that Israel will retain “0% civilian control” in Gaza.For his part, Eliyahu — the son of Safed Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu and grandson of late Sephardic Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu — lashed out at the international community for objecting to both voluntary Palestinian emigration and renewed Israeli settlement of Gaza.“The whole world can absorb millions of refugees, but doesn’t allow refugees from Gaza to go elsewhere; they don’t want to help free them from the war and the rule of Hamas,” he said. As for reviving settlements, he said: “Where there is settlement, there will be security.”“You don’t speak to people from weakness. And it’s preferable to return to settlements than to war and killing,” he added.On Thursday, several days after Eliyahu’s comments, Netanyahu presented his cabinet with a brief policy document outlining his vision for a postwar demilitarized Gaza whose civil administration would be placed in the hands of “local officials” following the implementation of a “de-radicalization process.”According to Netanyahu’s outline, “the rehabilitation plan will be financed and led by countries acceptable to Israel,” a statement at odds with many of the countries seen as potential donors.Eliyahu dismissed some Arab states’ policy of conditioning financial and political support for the postwar reconstruction of Gaza on the advancement of a US-backed initiative toward a two-state solution, predicting that while there would be some initial friction, they would eventually come around to assist in reconstruction efforts.Recalling how it took some of Israel’s neighbors decades to accommodate themselves to Israel’s existence, Eliyahu declared that “in the end, when we are certain of our path, the world will be convinced.”Jacob Magid and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

We didn't die from airstrikes but we are dying from hunger' ‘Hunger is killing us’: Gazans increasingly desperate amid growing humanitarian crisis-Food is running out in northern Strip’s Jabaliya, with aid agencies unable to reach the area due to fighting, looting; man says he slaughtered his horses and fed them to his family-By Agencies and ToI Staff 24 February 2024, 3:01 pm

At the Jabaliya camp in northern Gaza, Abu Gibril was so desperate for food to feed his family that he slaughtered two of his horses.“We had no other choice but to slaughter the horses to feed the children. Hunger is killing us,” he said.Jabaliya was the biggest camp in Gaza before the war, which was sparked when Hamas-led terrorists carried out an unprecedented attack on southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and taking 253 hostages to the Strip.Gibril, 60, fled to Jabaliya from nearby Beit Hanun when the fighting started.Home for him and his family is now a tent near what was a UN-run school in the area that was for years known as a Hamas stronghold.Contaminated water, power cuts and overcrowding were already a problem in the densely populated area. Poverty, from high unemployment, was also an issue among Jabaliya’s more than 100,000 residents.Now food is running out, with aid agencies unable to get into the area because of the fighting, and the frenzied looting of the few trucks that try to get through.The World Food Programme this week said its teams reported “unprecedented levels of desperation” in Gaza while the United Nations warned that 2.2 million people were on the brink of famine.Scavenging and begging-In Jabaliya, bedraggled children wait expectantly, holding plastic containers and battered cooking pots for what little food is available.With supplies dwindling, costs are rising. A kilo of rice, for example, has shot up from seven shekels ($1.90) to 55 shekels ($15.19), complained one man.“We the grown-ups can still make it but these children who are four and five years old, what did they do wrong to sleep hungry and wake up hungry?” he said angrily.The UN children’s agency UNICEF has warned that the alarming lack of food, surging malnutrition and disease could lead to an “explosion” in child deaths in Gaza.One in six children aged under two in Gaza was acutely malnourished, it estimated on February 19.In a report on Thursday, the UN said that the average daily number of trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza had dropped from 200 in January to 57 in the last two weeks, with only 20 trucks making it through some days.Israel has denied fault for the low numbers and blamed humanitarian organizations operating inside Gaza, saying hundreds of trucks filled with aid sit idle on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing. The UN, in turn, said it can’t always reach the trucks at the crossing because it is at times too dangerous.Trucks carrying aid into Gaza have intermittently been held up at Kerem Shalom by Israeli protesters demonstrating against sending humanitarian aid to the Strip while hostages remained in Hamas captivity.Additionally, Israel has long accused Hamas of appropriating and stealing aid from an increasingly desperate civilian population.Gaza has received 13,834 trucks of humanitarian aid since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, according to a Friday update by Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.According to COGAT, 254,210 tons of supplies have been transferred to the Gaza Strip, including 167,080 tons of food.However, Gazans have taken to eating scavenged scraps of rotten corn, animal fodder unfit for human consumption and even leaves to try to stave off the growing hunger pangs.“There is no food, no wheat, no drinking water,” said one woman.“We have started begging neighbors for money. We don’t have one shekel at home. We knock on doors and no one is giving us money.”‘Dying from hunger’Tempers are rising in Jabaliya about the lack of food and the consequences.On Friday, an impromptu protest was held involving dozens of people.One child held up a sign reading: “We didn’t die from air strikes but we are dying from hunger.”Another held aloft a placard warning “Famine eats away at our flesh,” while protesters chanted “No to starvation. No to genocide. No to blockade.”In Beit Hanun, Gibril used two horses to harvest a parcel of land. But the war destroyed that, along with his house, leaving him with nothing.Gibril kept the radical decision to slaughter his horses to himself, boiling the meat with rice, and giving it to his unwitting family and neighbors.Despite the necessity, he said he was still wary of their reaction. “No one knows they were in fact eating a horse.”

Huge oil slick from cargo ship hit by Houthis triggers environmental disaster concerns-Vessel’s operator says Rubymar currently not at risk of sinking, but it’s ‘always a possibility’; ship carrying combustible fertilizer was hit by missile fired by Iran-backed group
By AFP 24 February 2024, 8:35 am

WASHINGTON — A cargo ship abandoned in the Gulf of Aden after an attack by Iran-backed Houthis is taking on water and has left a huge oil slick, in an environmental disaster that US Central Command said Friday could get worse.Rubymar, a Belize-flagged, British-registered and Lebanese-operated cargo ship carrying combustible fertilizer, was damaged in a Sunday missile strike claimed by the Yemeni rebels.Its crew was evacuated to Djibouti after one missile hit the side of the ship, causing water to enter the engine room and its stern to sag, said its operator, the Blue Fleet Group.A second missile hit the vessel’s deck without causing major damage, Blue Fleet CEO Roy Khoury told AFP.CENTCOM said the ship is anchored but slowly taking on water and has left an 18-mile oil slick.“The M/V Rubymar was transporting over 41,000 tons of fertilizer when it was attacked, which could spill into the Red Sea and worsen this environmental disaster,” it said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.The ship’s operator said Thursday the ship could be towed to Djibouti this week.Khoury said the ship was still afloat and shared an image captured on Wednesday that showed its stern low in the water.When asked about the possibility of it sinking, Khoury had said there was “no risk for now, but always a possibility.”The attack on the Rubymar represents the most significant damage yet to be inflicted on a commercial ship since the Houthis started firing on vessels in November — a campaign they say is in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war triggered by the terror group’s October 7 onslaught. The group has also fired ballistic missiles and drones at the southern Israel city of Eilat.The Houthi attacks have prompted some shipping companies to detour around southern Africa to avoid the Red Sea, which normally carries about 12 percent of global maritime trade.The UN Conference on Trade and Development warned late last month that the volume of commercial traffic passing through the Suez Canal had fallen more than 40% in the previous two months.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city,  (NEW YORK) that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! (NEW YORK)
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.(1 HOUR NEW YORK IS GONE)
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon (NEW YORK) be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

I THOUGHT I HEARD ON THE INTERNET YESTERDAY FEB 22. THAT THE TRUCKER BOYCOTT OF GOODS TO NEW YORK BECAUSE OF THE NEW YORK SCAM AGAINST TRUMP TO PUMP HIM FOR 500,000 DOLLARS. WOULD STILL BE GOING ON. AS OF MONDAY FEB 26. I BELIEVE THE TRUCKERS SHOULD DO THIS BOYCOTT OF NEW YORK.THEY SHOULD STOP ALL TRUCKS FROM BRINGING FOOD AND ALL DELIVERIES TO NEW YORK. THIS WOULD TEACH LITITIA JAMES AND HER HOARD OF NAZI DEMON TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME CRIMINALS A GREAT LESSON. AND ALL THE OTHER TRUMP HATERS TRYING TO BREAK TRUMP SO HE CAN NOT BECOME PRESIDENT. AND TRY TO THROW TRUMP IN JAIL.

WITH ALL THESE MIGRANTS AND THEIR VIOLENCE AND LAWLESSNESS IN NEW YORK NOW. WE CAN SEE WHY NEW YORK WILL BE A HABITATION OF DEVILS, AND THE HOLD OF EVERY FOUL SPIRIT, AND A CAGE OF EVERY UNCLEAN AND HATEFUL BIRD. JUST LOOK AT THE BRAIN DEAD CHINA JOE BIDEN DEMOLIBNUTS ALWAYS USING THE RACE CARD. JUST LIKE DEVILS, LYING AND TRYING TO MURDER TRUMPS REPUTATION.(JOHN 8:44-Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.SO ALL THE DEMOLIBNUTS IN NEW YORK ARE FULFILLING THESE PROPHECHIES. SO NEW YORKS END IS GETTING CLOSE. SO TRUCKERS I WOULD STOP ALL TRUCKS FROM BRINGING FOOD AND GOODS TO NEW YORK. AND I ALSO WISH THE CANADIAN TRUCKERS WOULD DO THE SAME TO OTTAWA. ALL THE TRUCKERS THAT SUFFERED SO MUCH FROM TRUDEAUS DICTATORSHIP AND FREEZING YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS. AND ARRESTING THESE PEACEFUL CITIZENS BY PULLING THE EMERGENCY ACT OUT OF THE HAT. SO YES I WISH NOW ALL THE CANADIAN TRUCKERS IN CANADA WOULD GET BACK AT DADDYS LITTLE BOY JUSTIN TRUDEAU. AND WHOEVER WAS INVOLVED IN THIS CRIMINAL ACT BY THE LIBERALS. AND STOP ALL TRUCKS FROM DELIVERING GOODS AND FOOD TO OTTAWA IMMEDIATELY. THIS WOULD TELL THE CANADIAN AND AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS. YOU WANNA PULL DICTATORSHIPS AND POLITICAL STUNTS. AND FALSE FLAG STUNTS ON US CITIZENS OF NORTH AMERICA. WELL YOU GOVERNMENT LEADERS CAN DELIVER ALL THE THE FOOD AND GOODS TO OTTAWA AND NEW YORK. OR STARVE.

REV 18:1-10,19,21
18 -1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.(1 HOUR NEW YORK IS GONE)
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon (NEW YORK) be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.  

Not happening’: Truckers backtrack on NYC boycott as protest over Trump trial judgment fizzles out-ByShweta Kukreti-Feb 21, 2024 09:23 PM IST

US truckers have now started reacting as demands for the boycott gained traction on social media. One of the truckers has said there's no strike against NYC.While ex-US President Donald Trump continues to brag about a truckers New York City boycott in protest of his $355 million fraud trial judgment, several drivers seem to have taken a U-turn with many claiming that the strike “is not happening”.Following the ruling in Trump's civil fraud case, several pro-Trump social media users started appealing to truck drivers to refuse shipment to New York City in order to possibly disrupt its economy.Truckers have now started reacting as demands for the boycott gained traction on social media. Even Wisconsin trucker Chicago Ray, who launched the calls for boycott, backed off the action on Monday.“Just to be clear. I'm no figurehead of any movement. I'm not leading, nor have I encouraged, or am I encouraging anyone to do anything other than what they were doing prior to the ruling Friday in New York City,” he wrote on X.“I'm just a trucker who heard chatter and posted it on Twitter, nothing more than that,” he added in a now deleted post.Also Read: NYC faces complete shutdown as truckers threaten to paralyse state, ‘New Yorkers must stock up’Truckers says people refusing to enter NYC due to other issuesAnother trucker with TikTok handle ‘bluecollar_trucker’ suggested that there might be further problems with parking, crime, and traffic that contribute to the growing trend of truckers choosing not to visit New York City."This trucker strike, nobody's talked to me about it and I know a lot of other guys on other platforms like, 'Yeah, no, we've never talked about it either.' So one it's not happening, there's no strike against New York City — not over the Trump case, but more and more people are refusing to go because of other issues," the trucker said in a video.Samuraiblaq2.0, another TikTokuser and trucker, reaffirmed that the boycott is not happening, adding that truckers are not going to NYC because they have been facing several legal issues."The main reason why most truckers are not going to New York City is because of the f****** laws that are put in place, especially now the fact that we got to pay tolls within the city."How the boycott story kicked off? It was Chicago Ray who started the boycott story by sharing a video on Friday. where he stated, “[Truckers] gonna start refusing loads in New York City starting on Monday... We're tired of you f**king with Trump, OK?”“Our bosses ain't going to care if we deny the loads. We'll just go somewhere else, all right? You know how f**king hard it is to get into New York City," he continued.Trump himself shared the video of popular trucking personality on his social media platform, Truth Social.Ray, however, deleted the same video on Tuesday, but stated he continues to refuse shipments to NYC."Drivers can make their own decisions based on their families and their careers," he wrote in a another statement. “I worked for a place for 18 years and I quit them in one day and had this job b4 I got to my car.... i ain't the leader of any movement... I'm my own man period.”

Trump-loving truckers refusing to drive to NYC after his $355 million fraud ruling-By Social Links for Patrick Reilly-Updated Feb. 18, 2024, 9:20 a.m. ET

Trump-supporting truckers are saying they are refusing to drive to New York City after the former president was slapped with a $355 million fine in his fraud case last week.A conservative social media influencer and trucker who goes by Chicago Ray posted a video clip in which he claims that some of his colleagues are going to stop making deliveries to New York City to protest the ruling, issued in Manhattan Supreme court on Friday.“I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the past hour and I’ve talked to about ten drivers … and they’re going to start refusing loads to New York City starting on Monday,” Ray said in the video from inside his truck.He said he’s already spoken to some drivers that work with him who told their boss they won’t go to The Big Apple.Truckers have said they will refuse to make deliveries to New York City, according to one driver. 3-Truckers have said they will refuse to make deliveries to New York, Chicago Ray said.. Chicago1Ray/X“I don’t know how far across the country this is or how many truckers are going to start denying loads going to New York City, but I’ll tell you what — you f–k around and find out,” Ray said.President Biden (left) was said to be relying on notecards to answer prescreened questions from Democratic donors during closed-door fundraisers, which has alarmed some of his supporters-The trucker said their bosses “ain’t gonna care if we deny the loads — we’ll just go somewhere else.”“Do you know how f—king hard it is to get into New York City with one of these motherf—ckers?” he said, referring to his truck. “Man, f—k that. “Ray claimed that 95% of truckers support the former president in the X post, which has been viewed more than 4.6 million times and received more than 50,000 likes since Friday night.Some voiced their support for the boycott online.“Do it!
