Judge orders hearing to review Onion’s purchase of Alex Jones’s InfoWars-Judge to audit if conspiracy theorist’s bankruptcy auction was fair, which could delay buying process for satire site-Anna Betts and agency-Fri 15 Nov 2024 15.52 GMT

A judge has intervened and ordered a hearing to review the purchase of the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s InfoWars site by the satirical news site the Onion.On Thursday morning, it was announced that the Onion had bought InfoWars at Jones’s bankruptcy auction.But later that day, the judge overseeing Jones’s bankruptcy case held an emergency hearing, during which lawyers representing Jones and a company affiliated with him expressed concerns about the auction process. The judge has ordered an evidentiary hearing for next week to determine if the auction was conducted fairly, which could delay the process.“We’re all going to an evidentiary hearing and I’m going to figure out exactly what happened,” the judge, Christopher Lopez, said in an emergency hearing on Thursday afternoon. “No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.”The only other bidder was First United American Companies, a company that is affiliated with one of Jones’s product-selling websites.At the emergency hearing on Thursday, a lawyer for First United American Companies took issue with the auction process, noting that no bidding round was held on Wednesday for rival parties, and that only sealed bids submitted the previous week were considered.But the trustee who oversaw the auction said he followed the judge’s rules laid out in a September order, which made the overbidding round optional.The exact bid amount offered by the Onion for InfoWars remains unknown, but it has been reported it was lower than First United American’s bid of $3.5m. The Onion’s offer was seen as a better deal because some of the related Sandy Hook families agreed to forgo a portion of the sale proceeds to help pay off Jones’s other creditors.It was reported on Thursday that the Onion’s purchase of InfoWars received support from families of Sandy Hook shooting victims, to whom Jones owes $1.4bn in defamation judgments after he falsely claimed the 2012 school massacre was a hoax.In a statement on Friday to Variety, Ben Collins, the CEO of the Onion’s parent company, said: “the joint bid from Global Tetrahedron and the Connecticut families has been selected as the winning bid for Infowars”, adding “the sale is currently underway, pending standard processes.”On Thursday, after the Onion was announced as a winning bidder, the InfoWars site appeared to be down, and the site displayed a message stating that it was “unavailable until further notice”. But by Friday afternoon it was back online and running in its usual style with Jones claiming that the auction was a “hoax”.In a post, InfoWars wrote: “We are back”. Soon after, Jones posted: “The InfoWars site has been RESTORED in a massive blow to the Deep State.”If the sale goes through the Onion has said that it plans to rebuild the InfoWars website to feature internet humor writers and content creators.Jones said in his live stream: “InfoWars is back up for now, it’s being given back to the rightful owner – yours truly.”The Associated Press contributed reporting

Watchdog calls out five Gaza schools it says are run by Hamas men employed by UNRWA-IMPACT-se says refugee agency has ‘deep ties’ to terror groups and has taken no meaningful steps to curb hateful content in curriculum By Michael Horovitz-Today, 5:40 pm-NOV 14,24

A Middle East education watchdog on Thursday accused the UN Palestinian refugee agency of “deep ties” to terror groups, highlighting in a report the hateful curriculum of five UNRWA schools it said are run by senior Hamas members in the Gaza Strip.The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) said the Palestinian refugee agency “has taken no meaningful steps to address the glorification of violence or antisemitic rhetoric in these schools,” claiming many of its staff members who have participated in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad activities remain on the payroll.Citing information released by the Israel Defense Forces, the 71-page report detailed activities at five Gaza schools it said are run by terror group members who are also employed as senior educational officers at UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.The report lists the Al Zeitoun Boys Preparatory and Elementary Schools, whose principal Mohammad Juma Shuwaideh, is allegedly a squad commander in Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade; the Al-Maghazi Boys Preparatory School B, where both the principal Khaled Said Mustafa Al-Massri and deputy principal Ahmad Samir Mahmoud El Khatib are allegedly squad commanders in Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade; the Al-Mughraqa Boys Elementary School, whose principal, Raed Khaled Abu Mukhadda, is allegedly a Hamas operative in the Deir al-Balah Battalion; Nuseirat Boys Preparatory C School, headed by Mahmoud Faez Sarraj, allegedly a Hamas military wing operative in the Nuseirat Battalion; and Ahmad Abdel Aziz Boys Preparatory School, led by Mahmoud Ahmad Hamdan, allegedly a Hamas member who openly promoted the violent “March of Return” border Gaza border protests.Among the examples provided by the report was a blackboard in a fifth-grade classroom at the Al-Zeitoun School that featured an image of Dalal Mughrabi, one of the perpetrators of the 1978 Coastal Road Massacre that killed 38 Israelis, along with text describing her as a “fighting leader” and “hero.”IMPACT-se said that Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, a late extremist Islamic preacher and namesake of Hamas’s military wing, was also venerated by educators as a “martyr” and “hero” in the class.The watchdog said content at the Al-Maghazi School called a firebombing attack on an Israeli bus a “barbecue party,” and noted materials, such as maps, erasing the Jewish state or referencing Israeli cities as Palestinian.A question on an exam paper with an UNRWA logo was also found reading, “Liberating the Al-Aqsa Mosque and making sacrifices for it is an obligation for all Muslims.”The Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem is under the administrative control of the Jordanian Waqf. Many Palestinian terrorists claim to be motivated by concern for Al-Aqsa, and the Hamas terror group called its October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel the “Al-aqsa FLood.”IMPACT-se said that “content promoting hatred of Israel is gratuitously inserted into grammar exercises in a virtual self-evaluation exam prepared by UNRWA’s Gaza education department.”The report alleged, as it has done in past reports, that contrary to the refugee agency’s claims, the number of members who have participated in terror activities is not “a few isolated cases” and its links to terror are “endemic.”“This latest IMPACT-se report emphasizes that by promoting violence and demonizing Israel, UNRWA schools in Gaza foster the kind of hatred that fuelled the atrocities of 7 October 2023,” IMPACT-se said in a statement. “These latest revelations about Hamas’s central role in UNRWA schools further reinforce that UNRWA’s educational system is not fit for purpose.”IMPACT-se’s CEO Marcus Sheff said his organization was “deeply concerned, although not surprised,” by the findings.“UNRWA has repeatedly failed to act, despite mounting evidence and repeated warnings of the deep influence of terror groups on UNRWA’s schools. This is not just about accountability, but about protecting young minds from an education that fuels hatred and extremism,” Sheff said, according to IMPACT-se’s statement.The organization, based in the UK and Israel, has since the late 1990s monitored school curricula around the world, with a particular focus on the Middle East.For years, IMPACT-se has been sounding the alarm over what it says is anti-Israel incitement contained in Palestinian textbooks, including the systematic erasure of Israel’s existence and the glorification of violent jihad and martyrdom.Israel has long had a combative relationship with UNRWA, which it argues has perpetuated the Palestinian refugee crisis by allowing the status to be passed down through generations. Frustration with UNRWA in Jerusalem has picked up over the past decade as Israel has found the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group embedded within the agency’s infrastructure.That anger has peaked since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, in which a number of UNRWA staffers were found to have participated, including kidnapping and killing Israelis. Israel has alleged that 10 percent of the UN agency’s staff in Gaza have ties to terror groups — a charge the agency says it has no evidence of.Two weeks ago, the Knesset passed a bill banning UNRWA from operating from Israeli territory and prohibiting Israeli government agencies from working with UNRWA. The bill takes effect in three months.The UN has said nine UNRWA staff members may have been involved in the attack and had been fired. A Hamas commander in Lebanon killed in September by Israel was found to have had a UNRWA job.Last month, UNRWA confirmed that a Hamas Nukhba commander killed in an Israeli strike, who led the killing and kidnapping of Israelis from a roadside bomb shelter near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7 last year, had been employed by the agency since July 2022.In February, the IDF revealed the existence of a subterranean Hamas data center directly beneath UNRWA’s Gaza Strip headquarters. The IDF has also repeatedly targeted Hamas command centers and gunmen hiding out in UNRWA schools.UNRWA was established in 1949 following Israel’s 1948 War of Independence. It provides aid, health, and education to millions of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and neighboring Arab countries — Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.It is only one of two UN refugee agencies. While UNRWA caters to Palestinians, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is responsible for all other refugees around the world.The United Nations has repeatedly argued there is no alternative to UNRWA. Israel says its job can be carried out by other agencies it views as less corrupted by terror support.Gianluca Pacchiani, Sam Sokol, and Agencies contributed to this report.

ISAIAH 23:15-17
15  And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
16  Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17  And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.(COULD THIS BE 70 YEARS AFTER ISRAEL BECAME A NATION IN 1948)(IF SO THIS SATANIC ONE WORLD WHORE CHURCH WILL MINGLE TOGETHER BY 2018)(AND NOW ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY AND ALL RELIGIONS ARE MINGLING AS ONE PEACE-LOVE-JOY-GET ALONG RELIGION LEAD BY THE VATICAN RIGHT NOW 4 YEARS FROM THE 70 YEAR TIME WHEN ISRAEL BECAME A NATION).AND IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM.

REVELATION 13:11-18
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD) and he spake as a dragon.(HES SATANICALLY INSPIRED,HES A CHRISTIAN DEFECTOR FROM THE FAITH)
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,(WORLD DICTATOR) and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(THE WORLD DICTATOR CREATES A FALSE RESURRECTION AND IS CROWNED LEADER OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER).
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

REVELATION 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:(THE VATICAN GOES AGAINST A PRIEST MARRING A WOMAN-LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS-AND WHATS AN ABOMINATION AGAINST GOD-HOMOSEXUALITY AND PEDOPHILIA JUST LIKE THIS SCRIPTURE SAYS-FORNICATION IS THE SINGLE HOMOSEXUAL PRIESTS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAVING UNMARRIED FORNICATION OR SEX WITH SINGLES-IN THIS CASE ITS SEX WITH CHILDREN OR PEDOPHILIA)
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen,(1-ASSYRIA,2-EGYPT,3-BABYLON,4-MEDO-PERSIA,5-GREECE) and one is,(IN POWER IN JOHNS AND JESUS DAY-6-ROME) and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.(7TH-REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE OR THE EUROPEAN UNION TODAY AND THE SHORT SPACE IS-THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL HAVE WORLD CONTROL FOR THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS.BUT WILL HAVE ITS MIGHTY WORLD POWER FOR THE FULL 7 YEARS OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.AND THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE THE BEAST FROM THE EU.AND THE VATICAN POPE WILL BE THE WHORE THAT RIDES THE EUROPEAN UNION TO POWER.AND THE 2 EUROPEAN UNION POWER FREAKS WILL CONTROL AND DECIEVE THE WHOLE EARTH INTO THEIR DESTRUCTION.IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.YOU WILL BE DECIEVED BY THESE TWO.THE WORLD POLITICIAN-THE EUROPEAN UNION DICTATOR.AND THE FALSE PROPHET THAT DEFECTS CHRISTIANITY-THE FALSE VATICAN POPE.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.(GOD HIMSELF GIVES THE OK TO NUKE THE VATICAN)
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.(VATICAN)

Scientist turned deacon urges faith leaders to implore followers to act on climate-At annual UN climate confab, speakers at event organized by Jerusalem-based interfaith group say scientific proof of crisis is necessary, but it’s not motivating humanity to change-By Sue Surkes-Today, 5:27 am-NOV 13,24

BAKU, Azerbaijan — Religious figures must use their moral authority to convince their followers and world leaders to act on the climate crisis, because calls by the secular world and climate scientists are falling on too many deaf ears, speakers at a meeting at this year’s UN climate conference said Tuesday.At an event hosted by the Jerusalem-based Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development, Lisa Graumlich, President of the American Geophysical Union, described how last year she became one of the first climate scientists in the US to be ordained as a deacon of the Episcopal Church, driven by a conviction that religious institutions are uniquely placed to push for climate action.Graumlich said she had spent years going to conferences like the two-week United Nations COP29 confab, which this year is being held in Baku, Azerbaijan, until November 22.Having begun to study climate change in the 1970s, she explained, “I was convinced that if the scientific community just assembled more data and analysis, and wrote even thicker reports, then skinnier reports, then presented more Powerpoint presentations, that the public and especially world leaders would wake up and take action. I did that for 40 years.”“I discovered that scientific understanding is necessary but insufficient to create the motivation for the kinds of transformative changes humanity needs,” she continued.Faith leaders have several advantages, she went on. Climate change presents profound moral challenges. All religious traditions were founded with the principles of compassion and justice, which resonate with the need to care for the earth as a shared creation. Religious leaders could inspire, mobilize and serve as role models for communities by, for example, cutting emissions, saving energy and using renewable energy in their public spaces.  They could help protect communities vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as drought, flooding, and sea level rise. Religious institutions were usually “trusted voices” with the power to educate and shift public attitudes, she said.Noting how climate change had become politically divisive in the US, Graumlich, who lives in Tucson, Arizona, said faith leaders could “diffuse the sharpness of that boundary.” She cited ranchers in Arizona who were finding it harder to manage with the weather because of climate change. She said it was important to “start the conversations, setting the politics aside and using the values of stewardship of the earth to build an awareness of climate action as an antidote to what’s being seen on the ground by these individuals and communities.”Noting the international community’s inability to halt rises in global gas emissions over the past 50 years, Metropolitan Serafim Kykotis of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa, said, “We come here to remind leaders that the only way to protect humanity and the planet is to behave like responsible adults.”“As faith community members, we challenge our leaders to hold dialogue and solve the problems and not waste money every day on killing people, on military spending, on (behaving) like Cain fighting his brother Abel,” said Kykotis, who serves in Zimbabe and was one of the most senior clerics at the conference. ” After the suffering of the Second World War and the genocide of Jews and other communities, we established the UN to offer peace and security. The climate change crisis is related to our security and peaceful coexistence.”Rabbi Yonatan Neril, founder and director of the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development, said that while 85 percent of the world’s citizens were affiliated with a religion, “in democracies worldwide, most religious voters choose candidates who oppose climate action.”Quoting the late Rabbi Jonathan Sachs, who said God gave humanity the ability to take responsibility, Neril suggested that religion could help people in despair over climate change by giving hope — “not blind hope that God will wave a magic wand, but hope that we can change.”The conference, attended by just under 66,800 people, according to the UN, is hosting a Faith Pavilion for the second year, featuring 40 events with around 200 speakers, including Neril.

WARN THE PEOPLE-WW3

EZEKIEL 33:1-6
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2  Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3  If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4  Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5  He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6  But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

DANIEL 11:40-45 (WW3 BREAKDOWN)
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA 2ND WAVE OF WW3) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;(ARAB/MUSLIM) because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man;(RIOTS-BURNING-MURDEROUUS RAGE) his hand will be against every man,(ISLAM WANTS WORLD DOMINATION) and every man's hand against him;(DEFENDING THEMSELVES) and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.(ARAB/MUSLIMS LIVE WITH ISRAELIS)

ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.(ISLAM MURDERS IN THE NAME OF THEIR MOON GOD ALLAH)

ISAIAH 14:12-23
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, (SATAN) son of the morning! (HEBREW MEANS CRESCENT MOON ANGEL-ISLAM OVIOUSLY)(SATAN IS THE GOD OF ISLAM) how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Ecclesiastes 9:10
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

EZEKIEL 31:10-17
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.(HELL).
15Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
17They also went down into hell with him unto [them that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

EZEKIEL 32:17-32
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, [even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20 They shall fall in the midst of [them that are] slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22 Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves [are] about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
24 There [is] Elam (IRAN) and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of [them that be] slain.
26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal,(RUSSIA) (GERMANY, TURKEY) and all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27And they shall not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.
29 There [is] Edom,(JORDAN) her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
30 There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain with the sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I (GOD) will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say,(RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS) I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13  Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDI-ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the young lions thereof,(ENGLAND,AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATES-CANADA,AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND, USA, AND WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS) shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

19 Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised! (IN HELL FIRES)
20 They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.
21 Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’
22 Assyria (SYRIA) is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
23 Her graves are set in the depths of the Pit, and her company is all around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who once spread terror in the land of the living.
24 Elam (IRAN) is there with all her multitudes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who went down uncircumcised to the earth below, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
25 Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
26 Meshech and Tubal (RUSSIA) are there with all their multitudes, with their graves all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27 They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living.
28 But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.
29 Edom (JORDAN) is there, and all her kings and princes, who despite their might are laid among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.THIS IS RIGHT FROM 93:

SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The angel said: "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries."The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

2-SODOMITES - MEN LUSTING MEN, AND WOMEN LUSTING AFTER WOMEN.
ROMANS 1:26-27
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

The Telegraph-Revealed: How Pro-Palestinian mob organised via WhatsApp to ‘Hunt Jews’ across Amsterdam-Gordon Rayner-Fri, November 8, 2024 at 12:45 PM EST

The most famous and revered stop on Amsterdam’s tourist trail is the four-storey house on the Prinsengracht canal where the diarist Anne Frank lived in hiding for two years.Now a museum, it is one of Europe’s most powerful reminders of the Holocaust, with a near-sacred status as a memorial to Jews like Anne who were exterminated by the Nazis.On Thursday night, a terrible echo of the “Jew hunts” that took place during the German occupation played out just a few hundred yards from Anne Frank’s House as Israeli football fans were pursued through the streets and attacked.The parallels were too obvious to ignore, prompting the Dutch king to say his country had failed Jewish people just as it did during the Second World War.A pro-Palestinian demonstration had coincided with a European football match between the Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Israeli side, and Ajax, the local team whose fans refer to themselves as the “Super Jews”. The result was as shaming as it was foreseeable.Videos posted on social media showed fans of the two teams being punched, kicked and humiliated as pro-Palestinian marchers shouted anti-Semitic slurs at them.Now it has emerged that the attacks on the Jewish football fans were planned in advance and co-ordinated using WhatsApp and Telegram.The Telegraph has seen messages from a group chat called Buurthuis, a Dutch word for a type of community centre, which were posted on Wednesday, the day before the match.One message says: “Tomorrow after the game, at night, part 2 of the Jew Hunt.“Tomorrow we work them.”Another member of the group says: “Who can sort fireworks?” adding, “We need a lot of fireworks”. Participants refer to “cancer dogs”, a particularly vile insult in the Netherlands.The previous day had some skirmishes, which the Jewish fans escaped by going into a local casino. One of the messages sent by the pro-Palestinians said: “They won’t go to the casino any more.”Tensions had been running high before the match because Amsterdam was in the midst of a week of pro-Palestinian protests.Interesting Engineering-The demonstrators had wanted to protest at the Johan Cruyff Arena, home of Ajax, but Femke Halsema, the city’s mayor, ordered police to keep them a kilometre away from the stadium.Some demonstrators tried to get to the stadium anyway but were stopped.Police were given stop-and-search powers within areas deemed a security risk and riot police patrolled the streets. Yet, they failed to prevent violence that has attracted condemnations from around the world.One piece of footage posted online shows a man who had jumped into a canal in a desperate attempt to escape his attackers.As he thrashes around in the water, a pursuer shouts: “Say Free Palestine, and we’ll let you go,” and spits out a vile Dutch phrase that means “Cancer Jew”.The person who posted the video on X commented: “This coward jumped into the canal, afraid of getting beaten.” It was accompanied by “crying with laughter” emojis.Another video shows a man who appears unconscious on the street being repeatedly kicked as he lies in the fetal position.A third film shows a young Israeli football fan cornered in a narrow alley where he ends up crouching on the floor. He begs for mercy but his assailants knock him out with a punch to the head.There is little wonder why one Israeli diplomat described it as “a pogrom”.Ben Myers, a British-Israeli living in Amsterdam, said injured football fans were rushed to safe houses by a group of Israeli men and women who mobilised on WhatsApp groups.Mr Myers, who helped coordinate the rapid response, said the Jewish community had been failed by the Dutch police.He added: “It really was a testament to the power of the women, organising a mini Dunkirk and getting Israelis to safety.“There were definitely people being pushed into canals. They must have known it was going to kick off. One of the biggest gripes was the lack of police action. A lot of Israelis were saying they didn’t see police for hours.“Even when they did, they were driving nonchalantly by. It was definitely a failure by the Dutch police to protect the football fans.”Two Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, Aviv and Harel, told the Kan public broadcaster: “There was a police force standing on the side, not doing too much when there was some kind of protest. Each of us had been to the Netherlands four times; we had never felt like this before.”Violence flared when a group gathered at the National Monument in Dam Square – the country’s cenotaph – started chanting pro-Palestinian slogans at passing Israeli fans.One Maccabi Tel Aviv fan dressed in a blue and yellow dressing gown gestured at the protestors and shouted “f--- you” and others joined in by shouting “f--- you Palestine”.Maccabi fans descending into the Amsterdam metro sang: “Let the IDF win, we will f---* the Arabs” and “f--- you Palestine.”What appeared to be a visiting fan was filmed being hoisted up to a first-floor window where he grabbed a Palestinian flag and tore it down.Soon the football fans were being chased through the streets by locals.The victims included a man wearing the yellow strip of Tel Aviv crouching on the ground as his attackers kicked him and shouted: “It’s for the children motherf------.”“Please take all my money,” he responded in desperation, in a video posted on social media.The attackers responded: “Free Palestine now.”Further video footage showed a man being kicked to the ground as fireworks went off around him.He was dragged along the street and then tried to escape as a pro-Palestinian assailant filmed the scene and said: “Now you know how it feels.”He shouted: “That’s Gaza. That’s Palestine. That’s Gaza motherf-----.”Others had narrow escapes.Amit Amira, a Maccabi fan, said: “Three people approached me on the street and asked where I was from. I said, ‘Greece.’ One of them grabbed my hand and told me to show my ID. I pushed him away and went into the casino.“We stood at the entrance to the casino, and no one wanted to help us. They told us, ‘Why did you come here?’ In the end, an Arab Israeli helped us. He said, ‘No one will mess with you. You’re with me.’ He ordered two taxis for us, and we escaped.”Amsterdam was known as the Jerusalem of the West before the war because of its thriving Jewish population, many of whom supported Ajax, whose stadium was close to the Jewish quarter. Giant Israeli flags are a common sight at Ajax home games.Today, Amsterdam also has a large Arab population, including more than 77,000 Moroccans who live in the Dutch capital.In the aftermath of the attacks, many shaken and traumatised Maccabi fans said they were the victim of what some said were pre-planned attacks that could have ended in fatalities as they sought to leave the Netherlands on the first available flight.One shaken Israeli woman who spoke to Dutch media NOS from Amsterdam’s Schipol airport: “It seems like it was organised. There were a lot of people. They saw everyone in yellow.“They jumped on us. They stabbed people. They beat them. They did horrible things. We hid in the hotel until it was safe outside.”Others said they would not return to Amsterdam and were even scared to take taxis to the airport for fear of being attacked by drivers, some of whom apparently took part in the clashes.In all, five people were hospitalised and 62 were arrested, according to local police.Rescue flights were sent to Amsterdam to get the Tel Aviv fans home safely. As one flight waited on the runway, passengers posted social media videos of everyone on the plane punching the air and shouting with relief.Dozens of armed police officers stood guard at the check-in desk, cornered off passengers travelling on the last flight from Schiphol airport to Tel Aviv on Friday evening.Outside, still wearing his navy Maccabi Tel Aviv tracksuit, Ofek Ziv’s voice begins to break as he recalls being ambushed by the pro-Palestinian mob.The 27-year-old financial advisor was hit by a rock as he and other fans were attacked by a gang of ski-masked men.He told The Telegraph: “We have been let down by the police and the country. They did nothing. I was frightened, I was in shock. It was a very intense moment because you don’t expect to get attacked in this country – they accept all cultures.”The ambush echoed that of October 7, in which he lost a close friend, he said.He added: “My friend was killed in Nova on October 7. It’s the same feeling today – you see all these people attacked without any help and you can do nothing.”

Hard-right Dutch MP calls to deport ‘Moroccans’ involved in assaults on Jews-Head of anti-immigrant party says ‘Muslims hunt[ed] Jews on the streets of Amsterdam,’ urging that they be prosecuted on terror charges; comments spark parliamentary backlash-By AP and ToI Staff Today, 5:25 pm-NOV 13,24

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Hard-right Dutch political leader Geert Wilders on Wednesday joined others blaming “Moroccans” for attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam last week, saying during a parliamentary debate that they “want to destroy Jews” and recommending deporting those convicted.While lawmakers condemned antisemitism and agreed that perpetrators of the violence should be tracked down, prosecuted and handed harsh punishments, opposition legislators accused Wilders of “pouring oil on the fire” and said his statements were not conducive to “a better society.”Violence erupted in the Dutch capital before and after Thursday’s soccer match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv, with Jewish fans hunted down and attacked by gangs of masked assailants shouting pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel slogans.Israeli officials said 10 people were injured in the attacks and hundreds had to flee The Netherlands on special flights after being forced to huddle in their hotels for hours amid complaints of weak police protection. Many Israelis said that Dutch security forces were nowhere to be found, as they were ambushed by local Arab and Muslim gangs who hunted, beat and harassed them.Amsterdam police said five people were hospitalized for injuries in the violence, which also saw groups of men on scooters engaged in “hit-and-run” attacks on Maccabi fans in areas of the city.Police, who said the assaults were sparked by antisemitic messages online, detained dozens of people before the match, including 10 Israelis, but there were no immediate arrests for violence after the game.All but four of those arrested before the match have been released, according to a 12-page report on the violence issued by Amsterdam authorities earlier this week.Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema and other Dutch officials have said the attacks were driven by antisemitism. “Jewish Israeli supporters were guests in our city and they were sought, hunted and attacked via antisemitic calls on social media and on the streets,” Halsema said on Tuesday, though she said that Maccabi supporters had also taken part in violence ahead of the game.Reports of antisemitic speech, vandalism and violence have been on the rise in Europe since the start of the war in Gaza, and tensions were high in Amsterdam ahead of the soccer match. According to Dutch authorities and accounts on social media, Israeli fans sang anti-Arab songs and ripped down a Palestinian flag ahead of the game.The violence badly tarnished Amsterdam’s long-held image as a haven of tolerance and sparked soul-searching across the country.Wilders, whose anti-immigration Party for Freedom won elections last year and now is part of a four-party ruling coalition government, said Wednesday that the perpetrators of the violence against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were “all Muslims” and “for the most part Moroccans.”Noting the proximity to the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 anti-Jewish pogrom in Nazi Germany, Wilders said “we saw Muslims hunting Jews on the streets of Amsterdam,” and blamed ”Moroccans who want to destroy Jews.”He called for the attackers to be prosecuted “for terrorism” and advocated canceling the Dutch passports of people convicted of involvement in the violence — if they have a double passport — and deporting them.In this image taken from video, people march with Palestinian flags near the Ajax stadium in Amsterdam, November 7, 2024.

(AP Photo InterVision)“For the first time since the Second World War there was a hunt on Jews,” Wilders said, adding “I am sick of being criticized when I tell the truth.”He added that it was “a miracle that there were no deaths during this roundup, this jihad in the streets of the beautiful old Mokum that last week looked more like Islamic State territory,” he added, using a nickname for Amsterdam derived from Yiddish.Wilders, who is sometimes described as the Dutch Donald Trump because of his fierce anti-immigration rhetoric, has lived under round-the-clock protection for 20 years because of death threats from Islamic extremists. He has also long been a staunch supporter of Israel.Some lawmakers warned that his comments in the aftermath only served to deepen divisions in Dutch society.Rob Jetten, of the centrist D66 party, said Wilders’ rhetoric “does not contribute in any way to healing. In no way does he contribute to bringing our country together, but he throws oil on the fire and thus does not bring solutions against antisemitism and for a better society any closer, but only further away.”Frans Timmermans, who leads the biggest center-left bloc in parliament, agreed.“What you are doing is just stirring things up, dividing this country when this country needs politicians who bring people together, who bring solutions closer,” Timmermans said.Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof indicated that the government would present concrete steps to tackle antisemitism on Friday.Some in Amsterdam have placed blame for the violence on youths from the city’s large Morrocan-Dutch population. The report by Dutch authorities, signed by Halsema, noted the suspicions against Moroccans, but called for police to determine the exact identify the perpetrators to avoid collective blame.“Antisemitism cannot be answered with racism against others,” the report read. “Jewish Amsterdammers do not become safer if Moroccan and Muslim Amsterdammers become less safe and less free. On the contrary, Moroccan and Muslim Amsterdammers are also disgusted by the violence for which the entire group now seems to be held responsible.”AFP contributed to this report.

Amsterdam mayor condemns the ‘antisemitism, hooliganism’ behind attacks on Israelis-City officials say 10 Israelis were arrested ahead of Thursday’s soccer match; Dutch police warn of fresh calls for rioting after anti-Israel protesters set fire to tram car Monday-By ToI Staff and Agencies 12 November 2024, 9:16 pm

The attacks on Israeli fans by local Arab and Muslim gangs after a soccer match in Amsterdam last week were a “poisonous cocktail” of antisemitism and hooligan behavior, mayor Femke Halsema said on Tuesday, as a report showed that ten Israelis had been arrested ahead of the soccer match that preceded the attacks.Halsema was speaking at an emergency meeting of the Amsterdam city council days after the Dutch capital was rocked by violence last Thursday following an Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv match.Israeli officials said 10 people were injured in the Thursday night violence carried out by local Arab and Muslim gangs against Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans. Hundreds more Israelis huddled in their hotels for hours, fearing they could be attacked. Many said that Dutch security forces were nowhere to be found, as the Israeli tourists were ambushed by gangs of masked assailants who shouted pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel slogans while they hunted, beat and harassed them.“Jewish Israeli supporters were guests in our city and they were sought, hunted and attacked via antisemitic calls on social media and on the streets,” Halsema said on Tuesday. “But Amsterdammers were also attacked by Maccabi hooligans who chanted racist and hateful slogans in our city,” she added.Some video footage on social media showed Israeli fans singing anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian chants, apparently prior to the riots, pointing to high tensions and unrest even before the attacks.Pro-Palestinian activists claimed the Israeli fans were the first to engage in harassment and violence, although those claims were not verifiable. Dutch broadcaster NOS reported that a Palestinian flag was ripped off a building in the center of the city.City officials said Tuesday that ten Israelis had been arrested ahead of the soccer match that preceded the antisemitic attacks.According to the report from the city’s mayor, police chief and top prosecutor, which offered a blow-by-blow account of events leading up to the match and in their aftermath, all but four people of the 62 arrested around the match have been released. Of the four, three are suspected of attacking police and one is accused of “public violence.”The post-mortem said that city officials considered calling off the match the morning before it was played Thursday, but decided instead to simply open the soccer stadium early and herd Israeli fans there rather than allow them to remain in the city center.Officials had expressed concerns “due to the aggression of Maccabi supporters” who had vandalized a taxi in the city Wednesday night, sparking online calls for taxi drivers to head to a casino where hundreds of Israeli tourists were gathered, though police managed to largely head off the clash.The report also revealed that Amsterdam city officials were unable to reach Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof at 3 a.m. on Friday after Israel’s ambassador said Israeli government officials were planning to fly to the Netherlands in reaction to the attacks.The report said police prevented many incidents, but struggled to track down perpetrators carrying out hit-and-run attacks and so around 1 a.m. decided to instead round up Israelis and take them to hotels.The document noted that police were continuing to make arrests, while also sounding alarms on an uptick of anti-Muslim violence in the city.Newly appointed Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar told reporters in Jerusalem on Monday that Israel deemed the number of arrests over clashes in Amsterdam last week “very low.”Dutch authorities appeared to express annoyance at Sa’ar in the report, writing that they went to great lengths to quickly organize a stop for him at the Anne Frank House, only for Sa’ar to skip the visit.Schoof on Monday condemned the actions of the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, but stressed that there was no excuse for the “deliberate hunting down of Jews.”“There is a big difference between destroying things and hunting Jews,” Schoof said.Schoof was meeting with community leaders Tuesday afternoon to discuss antisemitism.Halsema told the press Tuesday that after Thursday’s match, groups of men on scooters engaged in “hit-and-run” attacks on Maccabi fans in areas of the city.She said the situation after the game at the Johan Cruyff Arena, to the southeast of the city, “was under control until these hit-and-run incidents.”“Then a situation developed which the police could not tackle with the current force available,” she said.That is also when the first reports appeared on social media calling for the specific targeting of Israeli Maccabi supporters and a “Jew hunt.”Halsema said Jewish institutions in the city including synagogues were not targeted and the attacks were “purely aimed at Israeli Maccabi supporters.”Asked by some council members why the game was not canceled because of the given security considerations, Halsema said, “We have taken all possible measures ahead of the game” based on security assessments.“But what you ask me then is to forbid a team because it’s Israeli,” she said.Police also said the attackers were mobilized by calls on social media to target Jewish people.Police warn fresh riots may still break out-Tensions remained high in Amsterdam over the weekend, and police enforced a week-long ban on protesting in the city, leading to the arrest of several people on Tuesday who defied the measure.A Reuters eyewitness said that the protesters were arrested while holding up white banners in front of city hall. A police spokesperson confirmed that six people had been arrested.Also on Tuesday, senior Amsterdam police officer Olivier Dutilh warned of calls for continued rioting after fresh violence broke out on Monday night.“We have signals that there are calls for similar” unrest in the west of the city,” Dutilh said in a court hearing.Dozens of rioters threw fireworks at a tram car on Monday night, causing it to catch fire, while chanting antisemitic slogans. No one was hurt, although the windows of the tram were shattered.Footage from the scene caught at least one of the participants shouting, “Cancer Jews,” indicating that the violence was an extension of Thursday’s attacks. Another video showed a Palestinian flag hung near one of the main points of friction during the clashes.Police said it was not clear who started the Monday night unrest and whether it was related to what happened last week.Several suspects were arrested following the rioting on Monday after police said earlier in the day that they had arrested an additional five people in connection to last Thursday’s attacks.The latest suspects were men aged 18 to 37 and living in the Netherlands, Dutch police said in a statement.Four other men arrested last week remain in custody amid the ongoing investigation.  Two of those are minors, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old from Amsterdam. The other two men are from Amsterdam and a nearby city.Police said they have identified over 170 witnesses and have taken forensics evidence from dozens.

Students occupy Italian defense firm Leonardo’s Turin headquarters to protest Gaza war-Anti-Israel activists say Italian weapons firm is complicit in alleged ‘genocide;’ Italy’s defense minister slams demonstrators as ‘dangerous subversives’ By Reuters and ToI Staff Today, 7:11 pm-NOV 13,24

MILAN — Around a hundred students occupied Leonardo’s Turin headquarters to denounce what they say is the Italian defense group’s complicity in Israel’s military operation as it battles against Palestinian terror group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.The students, who unfurled a Palestinian flag from the roof of Leonardo’s offices, said the company was supporting Israel by providing remote technical assistance and spare parts to Israel’s air force.Leonardo declined to comment.Images released by the students showed them in Leonardo’s offices waving Palestinian flags and carrying spray cans. Outside they hung banners on the buildings saying “no arms to Israel” and accusing the group of complicity in “genocide.”They also clambered on top of a plane in the grounds of the company’s headquarters. Video broadcast by the Corriere outlet showed police clashing with the protesters at the plant.Blitz di attivisti pro Palestina nella sede di «Leonardo» a Torino: «Complici del genocidio di Gaza» https://t.co/PtC586gNSD— Corriere Torino (@CorriereTorino) November 13, 2024-Israel rejects accusations of genocide in Gaza, says it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto condemned the protest, saying on X that the students were “destroying and defacing” the offices where an “important meeting with the staff of the defense ministry” was taking place.“These people must be treated for what they are, dangerous subversives. Criminals have no political color, they are just criminals,” he said.Crosetto said in March that Italy had continued to export arms to Israel, despite government assurances last year that it was blocking such sales following the Israeli army’s campaign in Gaza triggered by the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks on Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians.In March, the minister said only previously signed orders were being honored after checks had been made to ensure the weaponry would not be used against Gazan civilians.Through its US subsidiary, Leonardo provides Israel with aircraft and owns an Israeli radar company called RADA.The company has sold to Israel trainer jets and utility helicopters. It is also involved in the manufacture of parts for the F-35 jet flown by the Israel Air Force.Under Italian law, arms exports are banned to countries that are waging war and those deemed to be violating international human rights.I pro Pal occupano la Leonardo: “Complice del massacro a Gaza”.

Israel says it has killed some 18,000 combatants in battle as of November and another 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.

US federal worker charged over classified docs leak on Israeli plans to strike Iran--Asif William Rahman arrested in Cambodia, set to appear before court in Guam; documents circulated on social media over a week before Israel’s Oct. 26 airstrikes-By AP and ToI Staff Today, 6:12 pm-NOV 13,24

WASHINGTON — A man who worked for the US government has been charged with leaking classified information assessing Israel’s earlier plans to attack Iran, according to court papers filed Wednesday.The man, identified as Asif William Rahman, was arrested by the FBI this week in Cambodia and was due to make his first court appearance in Guam.He was indicted last week in a US court in Virginia on two counts of willful transmission of national defense information — felony charges that can carry significant prison sentences.It was not immediately clear whether he had a lawyer or which federal agency employed him.No further details were available on Rahman.The New York Times was the first to report his arrest.The leaked Pentagon documents circulated on social media ahead of Israel’s October 26 airstrikes on Iranian military sites, which came in response to the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile barrage on October 1.My Colleague, Middle East Spectator, has leaked some documents relating to an NGIA analysis done by the Pentagon in recent activities in Israel relating to a response against Iran.The documents are probably real. https://t.co/vkACSN1Lo5 pic.twitter.com/5qIllcvDtL— MedManOG (@MedManOG) October 17, 2024-The documents, attributed to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, noted that Israel was moving military assets in place to conduct its military strike, based on satellite imagery from October 15-16.They were shareable within the “Five Eyes,” an intelligence alliance comprised of the US, Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.Marked top secret, the documents first appeared on the Telegram messaging app in October and quickly spread among Telegram channels popular with Iranians.Tehran launched some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1, sending most of the population rushing to bomb shelters and safe rooms. The assault — Iran’s second direct attack on Israel, after a drone and missile strike in April — caused relatively minor damage to military bases and some residential areas in Israel and killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank.Iran said its October 1 attack came in retaliation for the killing of Tehran-backed terror leaders and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander.Iran has threatened to strike Israel again after Israel retaliated last month with airstrikes on Iranian air defense batteries and military sites protecting crucial energy facilities.

Trump’s choice of Fox News host for defense chief post shakes Pentagon, US military-Selection of Pete Hegseth raises questions about TV figure’s ability to handle world’s largest military, its $800 billion budget, millions of personnel, and global crises-By Lolita C. Baldor and TARA COPP Today, 5:25 pm-NOV 13,24

WASHINGTON (AP) — US President-elect Donald Trump stunned the Pentagon and the broader defense world by nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world’s largest and most powerful military.The news was met with bewilderment and worry among many in Washington as Trump passed on a number of established national security heavy-hitters and chose an Army National Guard officer well known in conservative circles as a co-host of Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend.”While some Republican lawmakers had a muted response to the announcement, others called his combat experience an asset or said he was “tremendously capable.”Hegseth’s choice could bring sweeping changes to the military. He has made it clear on his show and in interviews that, like Trump, he is opposed to “woke” programs that promote equity and inclusion. He also has questioned the role of women in combat and advocated pardoning service members charged with war crimes.In June, at a rally in Las Vegas, Trump encouraged his supporters to buy Hegseth’s book and said that if he won the presidency, “The woke stuff will be gone within a period of 24 hours. I can tell you.”The 44-year-old Hegseth, a staunch conservative who embraces Trump’s “America First” policies, has pushed for making the military more lethal. During an interview on “The Shawn Ryan Show” podcast, he said allowing women to serve in combat hurts that effort.“Everything about men and women serving together makes the situation more complicated, and complication in combat, that means casualties are worse,” Hegseth said.And while he said diversity in the military is a strength, he said it was because minority and white men can perform similarly but the same isn’t true for women.By opening combat slots to women, “we’ve changed the standards in putting them there, which means you’ve changed the capability of that unit,” Hegseth said in the podcast interview.Since then-defense secretary Ash Carter opened all combat roles to women in 2016, women have successfully passed the military’s grueling tests to become Green Berets and Army Rangers, and the Naval Special Warfare’s test to serve as a combatant-craft crewman — the boat operators who transport Navy SEALs and conduct their own classified missions at sea.While Trump lauded Hegseth as “tough, smart and a true believer in America First,” others were quick to point to the TV personality’s lack of experience. Some suggested he could be Pentagon chief in name only as the Trump White House runs the department.A number of other names floated as possible defense choices had included Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Alabama, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee; retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa; and Robert Wilkie, a former Pentagon official who was head of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Trump’s first term.“There is reason for concern that this is not a person who is a serious enough policymaker, serious enough policy implementer, to do a successful job,” said Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee.Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Hegseth’s lack of senior national security experience makes it more difficult to get Senate confirmation.“I think Trump was tired of fighting with his secretaries of defense and picked one who would be loyal to him,” Cancian said.Military officials said the choice came out of the blue. A senior military officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media, said Hegseth’s selection is raising concerns about whether he has the practical experience to manage a large department with an enormous budget.The Defense Department has a budget exceeding $800 billion, with about 1.3 million active-duty troops and another 1.4 million in the National Guard, Reserves and civilian employees based worldwide.If confirmed, Hegseth would face a daunting array of global crises, from the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine and the expanding alliance between Russia and North Korea to the growing competition with China. There is also the need to upgrade the complex US missile and nuclear defense apparatus and ensure the defense industry can keep up with America’s need for weapons systems.Smith said that while Hegseth’s combat experience is a plus, running the Pentagon requires a lot of other skill sets, and his nomination will need some time for consideration.“What’s your plan? What are you going to do?… How can you assure us that that lack of experience, you know, isn’t going to make it impossible for you to do the job?” Smith said. “I think those are questions that need to be answered over the next couple of months.”Even some Republicans in the Senate, who would vote on his nomination, had a subdued response.North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis called the choice “interesting.” Indiana Sen. Todd Young, who served in the Marine Corps, said, “I don’t know much about his background or his vision, so I look forward to learning more.”North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven said he’s not surprised that Trump chose Hegseth because Trump is “close to him and likes him and trusts him.”“The guy’s obviously tremendously capable, a great communicator,” Hoeven said. “I look forward to getting to know him better.”House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, said Hegseth brings a lot to the table and will be “reform-minded in the areas that need reform.”Hegseth has been a contributor since 2014 for Fox News, developing a friendship with Trump, who made regular appearances on his show. He is the author of “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.”“With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice — Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down,” Trump said in a statement. “Nobody fights harder for the Troops, and Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our ‘Peace through Strength’ policy.”

Op-Ed: Day 404 of the war-The ultra-divisive Netanyahu and the consequences for an Israel fighting for survival-Again and again the questions are asked, mainly by people abroad who love Israel: Don’t Israelis realize how extraordinary a leader he is? And why are so many so mistrustful and critical of him? By David Horovitz-Today, 5:07 pm-NOV 13,24

This Editor’s Note was sent out earlier Wednesday in ToI’s weekly update email to members of the Times of Israel Community. To receive these Editor’s Notes as they’re released, join the ToI Community here.People constantly ask me — almost all of them lovers of Israel living overseas, some of them politely, many of them not — why many Israelis so mistrust and, yes, loathe, our Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.He exudes such confidence and competence, they note, accurately. He’s so plainly intelligent, sharp and worldly. He’s Israel’s most successful politician, manifestly its most popular, a giant among rival political nobodies. And, most of all, he’s so stunningly articulate in English, the supreme advocate for Israel on the world public stage and doubtless behind closed doors with world leaders, too. Again and again, the questions are asked: Don’t Israelis realize how extraordinary a leader he is? And why are so many so critical of him?I think it’s important to explain, taking no pleasure in doing so, and at the risk of prompting more opprobrium and accusations of disloyalty. I should stress that domestic opposition and mistrust vastly predates October 7, 2023, and indeed has risen and fallen throughout Netanyahu’s three decades at the top of Israeli politics, most of which he has spent as the electorate’s chosen prime minister. Partial list: 1. Because he has refused to take personal responsibility for the greatest disaster to have befallen modern Israel, when Hamas invaded the south and massacred some 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and abducted 251 — even though he was the prime minister that day and had been for almost all of the preceding 16 years in which Hamas ran Gaza and built up its war machine. Because he had presided over a policy that allowed Qatari funding to help Hamas maintain its hold. Because he had accepted the defense establishment’s unfathomable assessment that Hamas was not single-mindedly bent on harming and ultimately destroying Israel. And because he did not heed the alarms sounded by some in the intelligence community in the final years, months, days and even hours before 3,000 Hamas-led terrorists burst through a flimsy high-tech border fence unprotected by actual troops. 2. Because they don’t quite understand what the IDF is doing in Gaza right now, under his direction, when Hamas has been defeated as an organized army, and soldiers’ lives are being lost to Hamas’s guerrilla attacks; when a ceasefire could enable the release of the 101 hostages held there, more of whom are dying as the weeks go by; and when a hostage-ceasefire deal will yield either an opportunity for the creation of the deradicalized Gaza all Israelis and the world seek, or, more likely, sooner or later see Hamas provide deadly reasons to necessitate, justify and legitimize a resumption of IDF operations against it. 3. Because they fear for Israeli democracy, given that Netanyahu spent the first nine months of this government’s lifespan attempting to bulldoze legislation through the Knesset that would turn Israel’s independent judiciary into a politicized tool of the governing majority, plowed ahead with that effort even as it bitterly divided Israel, has never indicated that this goal has been abandoned, and is now challenging the authority and legitimacy of the government’s chief legal adviser, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. 4. Because he just fired his principled, experienced and straight-talking defense minister, Yoav Gallant, in the middle of a multifront war. Netanyahu says this was for words and deeds that contradicted government decisions and benefited the enemy. Gallant says it was for the triple crimes of prioritizing efforts to free the hostages, demanding that ultra-Orthodox males do military service, and insisting on the state commission of inquiry Netanyahu resolutely opposes to probe the October 7 failures and thus help ensure there can be no repeat. And Netanyahu then replaced that defense minister with an inexperienced yes-man. 5. Because while he is assured, polished and fluent in his numerous English-language appearances and interviews, in Hebrew he seems incapable of exuding a sense of empathy; he almost never speaks at length to Hebrew media, least of all to non-sycophantic Hebrew media; and his Hebrew press conferences are marked by hostility to provocative questions and derision for those who pose them. 6. Because under his watch, the plight of the hostages is not a cause of national unanimity but a divisive issue. Families and ordinary Israelis pleading publicly for greater efforts for their release are implied by him and his loyalists to be dupes of Hamas and even enemies of the state — a designation he even intimated could be applied to Gallant. Families of the hostages spoke at both the US Republican and Democratic national conventions and were unanimously applauded and supported by the tens of thousands at both those events. By contrast, in the divisive climate engendered at home by Netanyahu, and also by the overt affiliation of some of the families and their supporters with anti-government protests, there is almost no sizable gathering in support of the hostages that passes off without heckling and confrontation by opponents, not to mention the heavy-handed intervention of a police force that is becoming increasingly brutalized under hoodlum minister Itamar Ben Gvir. 7. Because he insists on maintaining the unjustifiable exemption from military and national service of army-age ultra-Orthodox males — at the height of a multifront war, with the standing army under immense strain, and even the heroic reservist forces starting to wilt, although he knows full well the consequences for the national psyche, economy and basic resilience of this abiding inequality — rather than risk destabilizing his coalition. 8. Because he has refused to visit some of the communities most devastated on October 7 — notably including Kibbutz Nir Oz, where even his deeply divisive Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich had the guts to make a lengthy and emotive visit on Tuesday; selects convenient representatives of the hostage and bereaved families with whom to meet; reliably speaks to the nation when there are military successes to highlight and doesn’t when things go wrong. 9. Because amid a welter of new allegations concerning the theft and leaking of IDF materials to and through the Prime Minister’s Office, and regarding efforts to rewrite the minutes of key meetings to reflect his stewardship of the war in a better light, his PMO on Tuesday implicitly turned on both the police and Shin Bet for daring to investigate, accusing them of “destroying the lives of young men with baseless claims in order to harm right-wing governance,” including by detaining suspects “for 20 days in a basement… in order to extract from them false claims against the prime minister.” 10. Because he mainstreamed the far-right Jewish supremacists Smotrich and Ben Gvir, and gave them central ministerial responsibilities. And because many Israelis worry that he will now capitulate to pressure from those two far-right leaders and their parties for ongoing Israeli control of Gaza and the resumption of Jewish settlement there — a demand that would place untenable strain on the army and require Israel to provide for two million hostile Palestinians, with unsustainable demographic and economic consequences. And that he might also now seek to dramatically expand West Bank settlement, including into areas that the previous Trump administration earmarked for limited Palestinian independence, further reducing any future potential for viable separation from the almost three million Palestinians there.11. Because people they do trust to some extent, and who have been with him at key moments behind closed doors — including the likes of Gallant and opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot, an ex-IDF chief, bereaved father, and former war cabinet observer — accuse him of putting personal political interests above the good of the country.12. Because he seems to believe that he and he alone can and should advocate for Israel on the international stage, and has failed to establish a competent government public diplomacy organization capable of responding to events in real-time and strategically disseminating Israel’s broader narrative to traditional international media and via social media, and to other shapers of world public opinion.I am going on about all this in part because it also goes to explain the debilitating dichotomy that Israel faces in this era of unprecedented national crisis, with its resonant implications for Jews around the world.Coordinated by Iran — which has now twice directly attacked Israel and is advancing a nuclear weapons program — terrorist armies and other proxies are targeting Israel from every point of the compass, with devastating effect. Antisemites worldwide are pitching in. Israel is also the victim of abysmal media misrepresentation.And at the same time, Israel has a bloated, largely dysfunctional, partly anti-Zionist government under Netanyahu that is tearing the country apart from within, radicalizing parts of the public, failing to effectively convey to the world what’s going on, and exacerbating that global hostility.How many Israelis share all or some of those highly negative views of Netanyahu, his character, leadership and policies that I’ve cited above? Many, maybe most, though I’d say the number is dwindling the further October 7, 2023, recedes, and in the absence of any remotely convincing political opposition. Many, many Israelis love, even revere him. As I noted near the top, the fact is that, when push came to shove, the Israeli electorate has empowered Netanyahu to lead Israel for 17 of the past 28 years and 14 of the last 16.And were Netanyahu, no longer a young man, to be incapacitated, it is highly likely that he would be succeeded by somebody less restrained, less competent and still more divisive and threatening to Israeli democracy, internal harmony and resilience.**It starts with the Israelis-The violence against Israelis in Amsterdam last week was not Kristallnacht 2024 — not an open display of murderous thuggery by the governmental power in the Netherlands. And neither, at the other extreme of misrepresentation, was it a familiar if unusually violent eruption of soccer hooliganism.It was rather, organized, widespread violence by Arab and Muslim gangs targeting Israelis because they are Israelis. And it was achieved because the Dutch authorities failed to effectively protect the Israeli visitors — some of whose behavior before the soccer match was unacceptable — to their capital.It means Israelis, already wary about advertising their nationality in much of Europe and the rest of the world, will be even more fearful and defensive. It deepens abiding concerns for the Jewish communities in Holland and other countries in Europe and beyond for their wellbeing amid the antisemitism — led by local Muslim and Arab extremists, but certainly not limited to them — that has surged worldwide since Israel was invaded by Hamas 404 days ago.And it presents an immense, historic test for the government and law enforcement authorities of the Netherlands and every other country where Israelis and Jews are targeted for being Israelis and Jews: Are these nations going to be cowed, intimidated and ultimately prove impotent in the face of violent extremism, or are they going to face down and defeat the racist thugs? The initial indications in Amsterdam are not encouraging. As of this writing, few if any of the alleged perpetrators of Thursday night’s concerted attacks have been arrested. And lower-level violence has been continuing — a case of Israelis being targeted even when they are no longer there.The hatred continues to erupt, and will simply focus on new targets, unless or until its inciters and perpetrators are deterred.It starts with the Israelis. But those who are tempted to indulge it should know that it doesn’t end there.

IDF: ‘New Hezbollah targets’ reached in expanded south Lebanon ground operation-Rockets, drones target swaths of northern Israel as fighter jets strike buildings in Beirut after evacuation warnings; IDF says several Hezbollah field commanders killed recently By Emanuel Fabian-and Agencies Today, 2:17 pm-NOV 13,24

The military said Wednesday that it has further expanded its ground operation in southern Lebanon, as it continued to carry out airstrikes in Beirut while Hezbollah fired rockets and drones at northern Israel.The Israel Defense Forces said that its 91st Division was reaching “new targets” belonging to Hezbollah. It said commandos operating with the division raided several new areas, as other brigades continued “defensive and offensive activities in the area.”A day earlier, the IDF said that the 36th Division has also expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon.Meanwhile, Israeli fighter jets continued to strike Hezbollah targets in the southern suburbs of Beirut after issuing an evacuation warning for six buildings in the area. AFPTV footage showed a plume of black smoke rising over the area that was struck, about an hour after the army told residents of parts of the southern suburbs to leave. There were no immediate reports of casualties.Separately, an Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the town of Aramoun, just south of Beirut, killed at least six people and wounded 15 others, Lebanon’s health ministry said.The state-run National News Agency reported that there were children missing after the strike and it wasn’t clear if they were under the rubble or had been taken to a hospital. There was no warning issued before the strike, and it was not immediately clear what the target was.Swaths of northern Israel were targeted by drone and rocket attacks throughout Wednesday morning, with the IDF saying that at least three drones were intercepted without causing any injuries. Rockets also set off sirens throughout the Upper Galilee, including a barrage of around 20 rockets. Some impacted, including on a home in Ma’alot-Tarshiha, causing damage but no injuries.The IDF said Wednesday that it struck dozens of rocket launchers in Lebanon, including ones used in a deadly attack on Nahariya and long-range fire on central Israel on Tuesday.Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah weapon depots and command centers in Beirut’s southern suburbs, the IDF added. The Hezbollah sites were located “in the heart of a civilian population,” the military said, accusing the terror group of using human shields.The IDF also revealed on Wednesday that several Hezbollah field commanders were killed in recent airstrikes in southern Lebanon.According to the IDF, in early October, a strike carried out by fighter jets killed Muhammad Musa Salah, identified as the commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the Khiam region of southern Lebanon. (Another Hezbollah commander responsible specifically for the town of Khiam was killed earlier this month).Salah was responsible for over 2,500 rocket launches at the Golan Heights, Upper Galilee and Galilee Panhandle during the war, as well as attacks on IDF troops in south Lebanon, the military said.Another strike on Sunday killed Ayman Muhammad Nabulsi, whom the IDF identified as the commander of Hezbollah’s anti-tank missile unit in the Hajjar regional unit, which is responsible for attacks on northern Israel’s Ramim Ridge region. (Another commander of the anti-tank unit was killed late last month in a separate strike).Separate strikes killed Hajj Ali Yussef Salah, the commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the village of Kfar Tebnit, and another unnamed commander responsible for the Ghajar area, the military added.Hezbollah’s attacks on northern Israel since October 2023 have resulted in the deaths of 43 civilians. In addition, 62 IDF soldiers and reservists have been killed, including 36 slain during the ground operation that Israel began in September.More than 3,300 people have been killed in Lebanon since the clashes began last year, according to the Lebanon Health Ministry, the majority of them since late September, a figure which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians but is likely to be incomplete, with Hezbollah ceasing to update its death toll with the escalation of violence. The IDF estimates that some 3,000 Hezbollah operatives have been killed in the conflict over the past year.

UN nuclear watchdog chief heads for Iran, stresses need for diplomatic solution-Rafael Grossi says IAEA must have more access to nuclear program, warns Tehran has a large amount of nuclear material that can be used for a bomb-By AFP and ToI Staff Today, 10:24 am-NOV 13,24

International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi is set to visit Tehran on Wednesday for crucial talks on Iran’s nuclear program, warning just ahead of his trip that room for maneuver is narrowing.His visit comes only two days after Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the Islamic Republic is “more exposed than ever to strikes on its nuclear facilities.”Israel and other countries have long accused Iran of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran denies.Iran has launched two missile attacks on Israel, one in April in response to an airstrike on Damascus that killed a top Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander it blamed on Israel, and another in October, in response to Israel’s killing of Tehran-backed terrorist leaders and an IRGC commander. Israel retaliated last month with an airstrike on Iranian air defense batteries and military sites protecting crucial energy facilities.Iran backs armed proxies throughout the region, including terror groups Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and its leaders have called for the destruction of Israel.“The margins for maneuver are beginning to shrink,” Grossi said in an interview with AFP ahead of his visit to Iran, adding that “it is imperative to find ways to reach diplomatic solutions.”While the IAEA is allowed to carry out inspections in Iran, Grossi stressed the need for “more visibility” into Iran’s nuclear program, given its scale and ambition.“They have a lot of nuclear materials that could be used eventually to make a nuclear weapon, the IAEA chief told CNN on Tuesday, adding: “They do not have a nuclear weapon at this point.”Trump’s warning-Grossi’s trip comes after Donald Trump — who pulled out of a hard-won nuclear deal with Iran negotiated under Barack Obama — was voted back into the White House.Trump said last week that he was not seeking to harm Iran and instead wanted its people to have “a very successful country,” while insisting “they can’t have a nuclear weapon.”In 2015, major world powers including the United States reached an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program after 21 months of talks.The text provided for an easing of international sanctions on Iran in exchange for guarantees that it would not seek nuclear weapons.But Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and re-imposed US sanctions on Iran.A year later, Iran started to gradually roll back its commitments to the nuclear deal, which only allowed Tehran to enrich uranium to 3.65 percent purity.The IAEA says Iran has considerably increased its reserves of enriched uranium to 60%, close to the 90% needed to develop an atomic bomb.It is against this backdrop that Grossi is schedule to visit Iran for the first time since May.In a statement, the IAEA said it would hold “high-level meetings with the Iranian government” and conduct “technical discussions on all aspects.”Cameras unplugged-Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who came to office in July with hopes of improving ties with the West and having sanctions lifted, favors a revival of the nuclear deal.But all efforts to get the nuclear agreement off life support have so far failed.The IAEA chief has repeatedly called for more cooperation from Iran.In recent years, Tehran has decreased its interaction with the UN agency by deactivating surveillance devices needed to monitor the nuclear program and effectively barring its inspectors.The foundations of Iran’s nuclear program date back to the late 1950s, when the United States signed a civil cooperation agreement with Iran’s then-Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.In 1970, Iran ratified the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which requires signatory states to declare and place their nuclear materials under IAEA control.But with Iran threatening to hit back at Israel for its latest missile strikes, some lawmakers in the Islamic Republic have called on the government to revise its nuclear doctrine to pursue nuclear weapons.The parliamentarians called on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who wields ultimate authority in Iran, to reconsider his long-standing religious edict or fatwa banning nuclear weapons.The Islamic Republic has maintained its policy against acquiring nuclear weapons, insisting its nuclear activities were entirely peaceful.

Trump taps Elon Musk to co-chair advisory body on government efficiency-Controversial head of X, Tesla to share newly created role with former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, with recommendations set to be presented by July 4, 2026-By Daniel Trotta and Eric Beech Today, 9:10 am-NOV 13,24

Reuters — US President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Elon Musk to a role aimed at creating a more efficient government, handing even more influence to the world’s richest man who donated millions of dollars to help Trump get elected.Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will co-lead a newly created Department of Government Efficiency, an entity Trump indicated will operate outside the confines of government.Trump said in a statement that Musk and Ramaswamy “will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.”Trump said the new department will realize long-held Republican dreams and “provide advice and guidance from outside of government,” signaling the Musk and Ramaswamy roles would be informal, without requiring Senate approval and allowing Musk to remain the head of electric car company Tesla, social media platform X and rocket company SpaceX.The new department would work with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to “drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach” to government never seen before, Trump said.The work would conclude by July 4, 2026 — the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.Musk, ranked by Forbes as the richest person in the world, already stood to benefit from Trump’s victory, with the billionaire entrepreneur expected to wield extraordinary influence to help his companies and secure favorable government treatment.With many links to Washington, Musk gave millions of dollars to support Trump’s presidential campaign and made public appearances with him.Adding a government portfolio to Musk’s plate could benefit the market value of his companies and favored businesses such as artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.“It’s clear that Musk will have a massive role in the Trump White House with his increasing reach clearly across many federal agencies,” equities analyst Daniel Ives of Wedbush Securities said in a research note. “We believe the major benefits for Musk and Tesla far outweigh any negatives as this continues to be a ‘poker move for the ages’ by Musk betting on Trump.”The move was criticized by Public Citizen, a progressive consumer rights NGO that challenged several of Trump’s first-term policies.“Musk not only knows nothing about government efficiency and regulation, his own businesses have regularly run afoul of the very rules he will be in position to attack in his new ‘czar’ position,” Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen, said in a statement. “This is the ultimate corporate corruption.”Trump likened the efficiency effort to the Manhattan Project, the US undertaking to build the atomic bomb that helped end World War Two, while Musk promised transparency.“All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency,” Musk said on X, inviting the public to provide tips. “We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.”Musk said at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in October that the federal budget could be reduced by “at least” $2 trillion. Discretionary spending, including defense spending, is estimated to total $1.9 trillion out of $6.75 trillion in total federal outlays for fiscal 2024, according to the Congressional Budget Office.“Your money is being wasted and the Department of Government Efficiency is going to fix that. We’re going to get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook,” Musk said at the rally.The acronym of the new department — DOGE — also references the name of the cryptocurrency dogecoin that Musk promotes.In August, Musk and Tesla won the dismissal of a federal lawsuit accusing them of defrauding investors by hyping dogecoin and conducting insider trading, causing billions of dollars of losses.Dogecoin has more than doubled since Election Day, tracking a surge in cryptocurrency markets on expectations of a softer regulatory ride under a Trump administration.Shares in Tesla fell on Wall Street ahead of the announcement but are up about 30% since the election.Ramaswamy is the founder of a pharmaceutical company who ran for the Republican presidential nomination against Trump and then threw his support behind the former president after dropping out.In his 2021 bestseller “Woke, Inc.,” Ramaswamy decried decisions by some big companies to base business strategy around social justice and climate change concerns.Ramaswamy said the appointment means he is withdrawing from consideration for the pending US Senate appointment in Ohio, where Governor Mike DeWine will appoint a replacement for JD Vance, who will become Trump’s vice president when they are inaugurated on Jan. 20.

Settler leader congratulates Huckabee in phone call-Trump picks settlement backer Mike Huckabee as next US ambassador to Israel-Ex-Arkansas governor has visited Israel often since 1973; slammed Biden’s pressure on Israel to moderate war in Gaza, opposes Palestinian nationalism; Steven Witkoff named Mideast envoy By Jacob Magid and Agencies 12 November 2024, 10:40 pm

US President-elect Donald Trump announced his decision on Tuesday to nominate former Arkansas governor and longtime backer of the settlement enterprise Mike Huckabee as the next US ambassador to Israel.“He loves Israel, and the people of Israel, and likewise, the people of Israel love him. Mike will work tirelessly to bring about Peace in the Middle East!” Trump said in a statement.Huckabee, 69, has been one of the evangelical Christian community’s most ardent supporters of Israel. He is the first non-Jew nominated for the post since James Cunningham was tapped by then-US president George W. Bush in 2008.Huckabee, who first visited Israel in 1973, has gone on to lead several tour groups in the years that followed, frequently advertising the missions on conservative-leaning news outlets.In December, he toured Kibbutz Kfar Aza, one of the communities near the Gaza border that were shattered during Hamas’s October 7 onslaught when some 1,200 people were killed, most of them civilians, and 251 people were kidnapped to Gaza.Huckabee described the experience of walking through the kibbutz — where dozens of the residents were murdered during Hamas’s brutal attack — as a “gut punch” that reinforced his resolve to express solidarity with the Israeli people.He has called Israel’s claim to the West Bank stronger than American ties to Manhattan and laid bricks in 2018 as ground was broken on a new housing complex in the settlement of Efrat.During a 2017 visit to the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, Huckabee told reporters: “There are certain words I refuse to use. There is no such thing as a West Bank — It’s Judea and Samaria. There’s no such thing as a settlement — They’re communities, they’re neighborhoods, they’re cities. There’s no such thing as an occupation.”— Noam Ihmels | נעם אימלס (@NoamIhmels) November 12, 2024-More recently, he has criticized outgoing US President Joe Biden for pressuring Israel to moderate its conduct in the resulting war against the terror group in Gaza.“If a person is pro-Israel, how can you be pro-Biden because the Biden administration has made it very clear they will make concessions to Hamas,” Huckabee said in an interview in March on News Nation.Huckabee is also a bitter opponent of Palestinian nationalism. “I have to be careful saying this because people get really upset, there’s really no such thing as a Palestinian,” Huckabee, a former Baptist minister, told a rabbi in Massachusetts in 2008, according to the New Yorker. “That’s been a political tool to try to force land away from Israel.”In 2015, in a similar vein, he told the Washington Post, “The idea that they have a long history, dating back hundreds or thousands of years, is not true.”Huckabee also takes a hawkish view on Israel’s archnemesis Iran, which in 2015 he referred to as a “snake” that cannot be trusted and should be “killed.”Huckabee served as Arkansas governor from 1996 to 2007. He fell short in bids for the Republican nomination for president in 2008 and 2016.His daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is the current governor of Arkansas. She served as Trump’s White House press secretary from 2017 to 2019.David Friedman, who served as Trump’s ambassador to Israel in his first term, said Tuesday he was “thrilled” by Trump’s selection of Huckabee.Samaria Regional Council mayor Yossi Dagan spoke with Huckabee after the news broke, and congratulated him on his nomination.“The US has won and the State of Israel has won too. Mike Huckabee is a true leader, a smart man,” Dagan said in a statement that highlighted the nominee’s cooperation with the settlement movement.Special envoy Witkoff-Later Tuesday, Trump announced the appointment of real estate investor Steven Witkoff to be his special envoy to the Middle East.Witkoff has been Trump’s regular golf partner and was seen as a conduit to the Jewish business community during his winning presidential campaign.“Steve is a Highly Respected Leader in Business and Philanthropy, who has made every project and community he has been involved with stronger and more prosperous. Steve will be an unrelenting Voice for PEACE, and make us all proud,” Trump said in a statement.Witkoff will fill a role that did not exist in the current administration, as US President Joe Biden believing that the conditions weren’t in place for another high-stakes Israeli-Palestinian peace initiative and instead sought to prioritize other foreign policy issues.Witkoff is not known to have any diplomatic or Middle East experience, but those have not been criteria for previous Trump appointments. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who similarly lacked such experience, managed to broker the Abraham Accords during the Republican politician’s first term as president.Huckabee and Witkoff are the latest in a series of appointments announced by Trump this week, including New York Rep. Elise Stefanik for the role of ambassador to the UN and Rep. Mike Walz for the role of national security adviser.

GOP projected to hold onto House majority-Now in control, Republicans pick South Dakota’s Thune to lead Senate majority-Lawmaker, who has broken with Trump in past but has since patched things up, to replace long-serving Mitch McConnell after defeating Texan John Cornyn in secret ballot-By MARY CLARE JALONICK and STEPHEN GROVES Today, 11:15 pm-NOV 13,24

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have elected South Dakota Sen. John Thune as the next Senate majority leader, completing a momentous shift in their leadership that elevates a top deputy of Mitch McConnell into a key position as US President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.Thune, 63, is in his fourth Senate term and has promised to work closely with Trump, despite differences the two have had over the years, and will be a crucial part of the incoming president’s efforts to push through his policy agenda.In a statement, Thune said he was “extremely honored to have earned the support of my colleagues.”“This Republican team is united behind President Trump’s agenda, and our work starts today,” he said.Thune beat out two other competitors, Sens. John Cornyn and Rick Scott, by gaining majority support from GOP senators in a secret ballot vote in two rounds of voting. Scott was eliminated in the first round and the final vote between Thune and Cornyn was 29-24, according to several people who requested anonymity to discuss the private meeting.Republicans are replacing McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader, as they prepare to take majority control of the Senate with the 53 seats they won in last week’s elections.Republicans were also projected Wednesday to retain a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives, giving them control of the executive and legislative branches of government. But the selection of Thune over Scott, a Trump loyalist, indicated that lawmakers may try to retain some independence from the incoming president.Much of the campaign centered around the candidates’ relationship with Trump. Thune has worked to smooth his over after breaking publicly with Trump over the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, which he called “inexcusable.”In recent months, Thune has realigned with Trump, visiting him in his Florida home, and the two have been consulting on how to implement the incoming president’s agenda.Thune told The Associated Press over the summer that he views their potential relationship as a professional one. If they both win their elections, Thune said, “we’ve got a job to do.”As he made his case, Thune also made clear that he would take Trump’s demands into account. When Trump posted on X Sunday that the new leader “must agree” to allow him to appoint Cabinet members and others when the Senate is on recess, avoiding confirmation votes, Thune responded that the Senate must “quickly and decisively” act to get nominees in place and that “all options are on the table to make that happen, including recess appointments.”Well-liked and a respected communicator, Thune has been perceived as a front-runner for much of the year. Like McConnell, he hails from the Republican Party’s more traditional wing.He is a former chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee and has held the Republican whip position — no. 2 in party leadership — since 2019.He took over for McConnell for several weeks last year when he was on a medical leave, a move that was widely seen as an audition of sorts as speculation surrounded McConnell’s future.The Republican Jewish Coalition applauded the choice, calling him a “longtime friend” of the group.“We are excited to work with Majority Leader Thune and the Republican-led Senate to course correct from the failed policies of the Democrats and deliver real solutions and results for the American people,” the RJC said in a statement.Thune’s win is all the more extraordinary because of his 2004 election to the Senate – defeating then-Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle after arguing during the campaign that Daschle had lost his South Dakota roots during his years in Democratic leadership. Twenty years later, Thune will become majority leader himself.As he geared up to run for leader, Thune spent much of the year campaigning for his colleagues.According to his aides, he raised more than $31 million to elect Senate Republicans this cycle, including a $4 million transfer from his own campaign accounts to the Senate’s main campaign arm.The election was difficult for many in the conference who saw Thune and Cornyn as similar choices. They are alike on policy, voting generally in step with the conference but working with Democrats at times. Cornyn is a longtime member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who took a leading role on bipartisan gun legislation two years ago.But the two differed on whether the leader should be term-limited — a key demand from some in the conservative wing. Cornyn pushed for limits, while Thune did not.Scott, the former governor of Florida, was elected to the Senate in 2018 and quickly positioned himself as a foil to McConnell, running against him for leader in 2022 and aligning with Utah Sen. Mike Lee and others who have been highly critical of the current leadership.As Thune and Cornyn wooed their colleagues one by one all year, Scott spent most of the year tied up in his own reelection race. He handily defeated Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell by more than 10 points.After his re-election last week, Scott aggressively stepped up his campaign for GOP leader, campaigning publicly as the candidate closest to Trump and winning endorsements from people who are close to the former and future president, such as billionaire Elon Musk. But some questioned whether that strategy might backfire.Rounds said that he prefers the way that Thune and Cornyn have “handled it one-on-one with everybody,” but that he had talked to Scott as well. “We’ve got three qualified individuals,” he said ahead of the race.Times of Israel staff and Reuters contributed to this report.

Federal judge temporarily halts Louisiana law requiring Ten Commandments in schools-Law obligated state schools, universities to hang posters laying out biblical laws; case brought by coalition including three Jewish families claims it violates first amendment-By jacob gurvis Today, 8:39 am-NOV 13,24

JTA — A federal judge temporarily blocked a new law in Louisiana that would have required public schools to display the Ten Commandments by January 1, 2025.The ruling by US District Judge John W. deGravelles in Baton Rouge follows a lawsuit brought by a coalition of parents, including three Jewish families, arguing that the law violated the First Amendment.deGravelles found that the law is “unconstitutional on its face.” His preliminary injunction means the state cannot implement the new legislation until the litigation concludes. The judge also ordered the state’s attorney general to “provide notice to all schools that the Act has been found unconstitutional.”The law, signed by Louisiana Republican Gov. Jeff Landry in June, would require every public K-12 school and state-funded university classroom to display posters that are at least 11 inches by 14 inches with the text of the Ten Commandments and accompanied by a four-paragraph “context statement” explaining how the Ten Commandments “were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries.”The complaint — filed on the families’ behalf by Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Freedom from Religion Foundation — said the law specifically violated the Constitution’s prohibition against the establishment of an official religion and constituted an infringement on the free exercise of religion.The suit, for which deGravelles heard arguments on October 21, said the law “sends the harmful and religiously divisive message that students who do not subscribe to the Ten Commandments … do not belong in their own school community and should refrain from expressing any faith practices or beliefs that are not aligned with the state’s religious preferences.”The lawsuit also took issue with the specific wording of the Ten Commandments that would be used, arguing that the text of the Ten Commandments mandated by the law is a Christian version and “does not match any version or translation found in the Jewish tradition.”The version in the bill leaves out sections of the commandments’ text, including part of the first commandment in Judaism, which speaks of God bringing the Israelites out of Egypt.While proponents of the law have argued that families who object to the posters could simply “Tell your child not to look at them,” as Landry said in August, deGravelles in his ruling flatly rejected that argument.“In short, the Act is coercive to students, and, for all practical purposes, they cannot opt out of viewing the Ten Commandments when they are displayed in every classroom, every day of the year, every year of their education,” deGravelles wrote.While similar laws have been proposed in Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah, Louisiana was the first to enshrine its version into law. Some view the law as a test case for the future of church-state separations in the US: While the US Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that a Kentucky state law requiring the Ten Commandments to be shown in all classrooms was unconstitutional, the Conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court appears sympathetic to those seeking to elevate the role of religion in public life.“We strongly disagree with the court’s decision and will immediately appeal,” Louisiana Attorney General Elizabeth Murrill told the Associated Press.The Louisiana law, and similar Ten Commandments requirements being proposed in other Republican-led states, are just one example of a slate of efforts to incorporate religion into public schools. In Florida, a bill signed this year would allow school districts to have volunteer chaplains counsel students. Oklahoma’s top education official ordered public schools to include Bible lessons for fifth through twelfth graders.And President-elect Donald Trump, who had endorsed the Louisiana law in June, included a promise to “fiercely protect the First Amendment right to pray in public schools” in his campaign’s list of “ten principles for achieving great schools.” This year’s Republican platform also promises to “support a new Federal Task Force on Fighting Anti-Christian Bias.”

Inside story-Though ham-handed, report on Gazan anger at Hamas appears to reflect waning support-Individuals in Strip say Palestinians no longer cheer rocket fire and some express happiness with defeat of terror organization, but say it’s time for Israel to end the war as well-By Gianluca Pacchiani-Today, 8:25 am-NOV 13,24

For the first time since war broke out over a year ago, Israel’s military permitted a journalist in Gaza to speak to Palestinian civilians there last week. The result, aired by Channel 12 news on Sunday, offered a significantly filtered peek into the mindset of displaced Gazan women and children from Jabalia in northern Gaza.Against a backdrop of debris, dust and armed Israeli soldiers, some residents speaking to the channel’s Palestinian affairs reporter Ohad Hemo vented their frustration at Hamas, shouting and cursing the terror group ruling Gaza for the devastation it wreaked on their lives.“I swear I was happy when you killed [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar, who caused destruction and killed our children,” one woman was filmed shouting. “God willing you’ll destroy them.”For over a year, Israeli and foreign journalists have only been able to enter Gaza from Israel under IDF oversight and were taken solely to areas devoid of civilians to document the military’s activities. CNN’s Clarissa Ward appears to have been the sole Western journalist who independently crossed into Gaza, speaking to Palestinians inside a field hospital in December.Hamas also strictly controls reporting out of Gaza and has threatened journalists who report on the group’s terror activities. For the past year, the only major outlet allowed by Hamas to operate inside the Gaza Strip has been Al Jazeera, which is known to have close ties with the terror group, portraying it as a “resistance movement.”To some observers, Hemo’s report appeared to be a piece of clumsy propaganda, portraying a sanitized view of Gazans supposedly welcoming the Israelis as liberators rather than capturing a balanced view of Gazan sentiment. Many of the comments dovetailed neatly with claims the army has made of evacuating Gazan civilians expressing anger at Hamas.Even if you don't speak a word of Arabic, you can understand what these Gazans are expressing: deep, visceral rage.But it's not Israel they're enraged about— it's Hamas. pic.twitter.com/9rF5LmYI7y— Hen Mazzig (@HenMazzig) November 10, 2024-Given the famine and devastation many Gazans have gone through, some have concluded that respondents were speaking under pressure, and might have directed their rage toward Israel as well for bombing their homes had they not been speaking to an Israeli journalist in front of Israeli soldiers as they traversed an Israeli-administered evacuation zone to escape Israeli fire.“In vain I waited for the frame to open up a bit and for Hemo to show Israelis the incomprehensible scope of destruction, which would perhaps explain why a line of desperate, tired, thirsty and hungry refugees were standing in front of his cameras, willing to say exactly what the soldiers standing outside the frame wish to hear,” wrote Haaretz’s Shany Littman.Even those on the far-right were unimpressed, complaining that the comments did not reflect their view of all Gazans as Hamas supporters undeserving of sympathy. “Tonight in reality: the abhorrence of the propagandist media and the understanding of the Israeli public that there is not a single person [in Gaza] who is innocent,” tweeted one prominent settler extremist in response to a promo for the report.Yet the comments captured by Hemo did accurately reflect the view of at least some inside Gaza, according to three individuals who recently spoke with The Times of Israel. (Their names have been changed for safety.)-Polls by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research also point to waning support for Hamas among Gazans, with only 39 percent in the Strip reporting a positive view of the group in September, down from 64% in June.Mark, a European aid worker managing logistics for a large humanitarian organization in Deir al-Balah, reported that when Hamas fires rockets, a rare occurrence these days, only teenagers seem to cheer on the street.“Adults then invariably tell them there is nothing to cheer about. Every rocket that is fired causes trouble,” he said. “It will elicit an Israeli reaction and bombings for the following week.”“People have come to see Hamas as a problem. I have yet to come across any adult who openly supports Hamas or claims it can bring a solution,” Mark added.Khaled, a 30-year-old Palestinian man living in a crowded encampment for displaced Gazans in the south of the Strip, depicted general frustration with the terror group. His conversation with The Times of Israel was facilitated by the US-based Center for Peace Communications, which has sought to broadcast the sentiments of anti-Hamas Gazans to the world. (In January 2023, The Times of Israel published a series of shorts produced by the center.)“People hate Hamas more and more,” said Khaled, who was an opponent of the group before October 7 and has been jailed by Hamas in the past. “What they need now is peace.”Khaled’s sentiments were echoed by Rashid, an anti-Hamas activist from Deir al-Balah who was previously jailed by the group for his participation in the 2019 “We want to live” protest movement.“Most people in Gaza are against Hamas; they want a future without it,” he said. “One good thing about the war is that they can now curse it openly on the streets without fear of retaliation.”“There was some optimism after Sinwar’s killing, with people hopeful that a ceasefire was near and normalcy would return – even among some Hamas supporters,” Rashid noted.Despite the decapitation of the Hamas leadership, a ceasefire still seems elusive, extending the hardship of Gaza’s civilians. “Without an Israeli decision to end the conflict, no one can put an end to the insane situation in the Gaza Strip. Following the collapse of Hamas governance, Gaza’s future rests in Israel’s hands,” Rashid said.Power vacuum-While Hamas still attempts occasional attacks on IDF troops to create “victory images,” as one senior IDF officer recently told The Times of Israel, conversations with Gaza civilians indicate that the group is focused solely on survival, lacking the means to control the Strip.“They’ve lost the people entirely, along with their authority over minds and words,” Rashid observed.“Hamas has completely collapsed,” Khaled concurred. “That doesn’t mean it isn’t trying to regroup. It will keep trying indefinitely.”According to Mark, Hamas’s remaining authority in the Strip consists of members of the Hamas-run Civil Defense agency in balaclavas managing traffic at some intersections with rifles.The breakdown of its governance has forced the group underground, with the IDF reporting nearly 19,000 fighters killed. Local families and clans have since filled the power vacuum, some exerting control over entire areas through force.Large family clans are a traditional feature of Gazan society. With the displacement of hundreds of thousands from the Strip’s north to the south, many of the clans also relocated, and tried to assert their authority over new areas or take control of certain trades, entering into turf wars with existing clans.Gunfights between clans are not rare, Mark said, and sometimes result in casualties and deteriorate into bloody retaliatory feuds.The chaotic situation has significantly hampered the work of aid organizations that need to deal with the clans, forcing them to negotiate with multiple chieftains, he added.Rashid said that Hamas had allied with gangs connected to the clans, who act as its “mafia” within Gaza. These clans dominate the informal markets, where they enrich themselves by selling food and essential goods to civilians at inflated prices due to scarcity. Some clans also extort organizations and traders for payoffs in exchange for safe passage through areas they control.Channel 12 reported in September that Hamas had raised $500 million by reselling stolen humanitarian aid, and that the money was partly used to recruit new gunmen.Rashid confirmed that the terror group is attempting to recruit, but said that very few people were responding.Over and out? In September, then-defense minister Yoav Gallant said that Hamas was finished as a military organization, and was only engaged in guerrilla warfare.Two months on, the situation appears largely the same.“In central Gaza, where I live, we don’t even feel like we’re at war anymore. There’s a sense of clinical death,” Rashid said. “Israel’s operations such as the ongoing one in Jabalia are merely an excuse to prolong the conflict. After all, Israel’s goal was to dismantle Hamas as a governing force, not eliminate every single Hamas member.”While predicting that Hamas would attempt to declare victory the moment the IDF leaves Gaza, Rashid believes that “the center and the south of the Strip are ready for the ‘day after.”Khaled agreed that Israel had nobody left to fight, calling for the IDF to ease up on suffering Gazan civilians.“There is no justification to prolong the war. Israel has defeated Hamas and can end the conflict now, conducting targeted operations if necessary. There is no need to maintain the pressure on the civilian population. On the contrary, Israel needs to show goodwill toward civilians by establishing safe zones,” he said.Khaled has advocated for “safe zones” within Gaza through discussions with unnamed Israeli “institutions.” These zones would allow “peace-minded” civilians to administer themselves away from Hamas and clan control. “What is needed now is political will from Israel. Unfortunately, there has been no response from Israeli authorities,” Khaled said.On October 28, the Knesset passed two laws essentially barring the UN agency for Palestinian refugees from operating in Israel, and severely curtailing its activities in Gaza and the West Bank, despite widespread international opposition.UNRWA – short for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East – provides education, healthcare and food aid to millions of Palestinians across Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.Mark, the aid worker in central Gaza, warned that the shutdown of UNRWA will severely disrupt relief work.“Many assume another UN organization can just replace UNRWA, but it’s not that simple,” he said. “UNRWA was massive, running schools, clinics and food distribution. Without it, these responsibilities now theoretically fall to Israel, as the occupying power.”In contrast, Khaled, who grew up in a refugee camp and attended UNRWA schools, expressed little concern over losing the agency’s aid.“Since the start of the war, UNRWA was supposed to distribute food, but all I have ever received was one bag of flour – and I have to feed a family of ten,” he said.“We don’t want to live off aid forever,” he added. “We want to live like people in the Gulf, Europe or America. We want to develop a private economy, to work and be able to buy things. We don’t want to depend on UNRWA forever for a bag of flour or rice.”

US says it won’t withhold weapons to Israel, as deadline to address aid crisis passes-Lacking leverage after election, Biden aides say Israel took sufficient steps to comply with US law, even if Jerusalem didn’t meet all the demands it was given 30 days to act on-By Jacob Magid-Today, 3:55 am-NOV 13,24

The Biden administration announced on Tuesday that it would not withhold weapon shipments to Israel, as a 30-day deadline for Jerusalem to significantly alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza expired.US State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel acknowledged during a press briefing that Israel implemented some — but not all — of the steps demanded by the US in an October 13 letter giving Jerusalem a month to act or risk being deemed out of compliance with US law, which bars offensive weapons from being transferred to countries that block aid from reaching civilians.Nonetheless, Patel stated that the US has not, at this time, “made an assessment that there that the Israelis are in violation of US law.”The determination came less than a week after Donald Trump won the presidential election, significantly slashing the Biden administration’s leverage over Israel, given that the president-elect would surely reverse any decision to withhold weapon shipments to Israel upon returning to office in just over two months.Patel pointed to steps taken by Israel over the past 30 days, including reopening the Erez Crossing into northern Gaza; opening the Kissufim Crossing into central Gaza; waiving certain customs requirements for aid organizations; opening new aid delivery routes within Gaza; resuming aid delivery to northern Gaza after a near-month-long siege; expanding the the coastal Muwasi humanitarian zone inland; and instituting periodic humanitarian pauses.“The ultimate hope is that through these steps, some conditions have been created in which we can see things like additional aid, additional food trucks, additional measures being taken that ultimately will be beneficial to the Palestinian people in Gaza,” Patel said.The State Department spokesperson stressed the US will continue monitoring Israel’s compliance with American law and will act accordingly if it deems that Jerusalem has failed to do so.Patel was hammered repeatedly by reporters questioning how the Biden administration could determine that Israel has not violated US law if it was not meeting the standards set out in the letter.Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin wrote in the October 13 letter that the US wanted to see 350 aid trucks enter Gaza every day. October ended seeing fewer trucks enter Gaza than any other month this year, with an Israeli military body putting the daily average at 57. Patel revealed that from November 1 to November 9, just 404 trucks crossed into Gaza.“What matters most is not just a specific action or a specific item, but the totality of progress,” Patel claimed, while saying the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains “dire.”The State Department spokesperson added that had it not been for US intervention, the handful of steps Israel did take over the past month would not have happened. Moreover, he noted that the US remains the world’s largest provider of aid to the Palestinians.Earlier Tuesday, aid groups issued a report requested by the Biden administration, which determined that Israel had failed to meet the vast majority of the requirements laid out by Blinken and Austin in their letter.The report listed 19 measures of compliance with the US demands. It said that Israel had failed to comply with 15 and only partially complied with four.The report was co-signed by Anera, Care, MedGlobal, Mercy Corps, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Oxfam, Refugees International and Save the Children.In the October 13 letter, the US gave Israel 30 days to, among other things, allow a minimum of 350 truckloads of goods into Gaza each day; open a fifth crossing; allow people in coastal tent camps to move inland before the winter; and ensure access for aid groups to northern Gaza. It also called on Israel to halt legislation that would hinder operations of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, which has come under fire after several of its employees were found to have participated in Hamas’s October 7 onslaught that sparked the ongoing war.Aid levels remain far below the US benchmarks. Access to northern Gaza remains restricted, and Israel passed the legislation against UNRWA into law.Israel launched a major offensive last month in the north, where it said Hamas had regrouped. The operation has displaced tens of thousands and killed hundreds, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, whose unverified figures don’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.Through October and the first days of November, Israel allowed no food to enter several towns in north Gaza, where despite evacuation orders tens of thousands of civilians have stayed.Last week, Israel allowed 11 trucks to go to Beit Hanoun, one of the north’s hardest-hit towns. But the World Food Organization said troops at a checkpoint forced its trucks to unload their cargo before reaching shelters in the town.On Tuesday, COGAT — the military agency in charge of humanitarian aid to Gaza — announced it allowed a new delivery of food and water to Beit Hanoun the day before. The WFP said that while it tried to dispatch 14 trucks, only three made it to the town “due to delays in receiving authorization for movement and crowds along the route.” When it tried to deliver the rest on Tuesday, Israel denied it permission, it said.Aid into all of Gaza plummeted in October, when just 34,000 tons of food entered, only a third of the previous month, according to Israeli data.UN agencies say even less actually gets through because of Israeli restrictions, ongoing fighting and lawlessness that makes it difficult to collect and distribute aid on the Gaza side.COGAT said 900 truckloads of aid are sitting uncollected on the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom crossing in the south.“Before the organizations give out grades, they should focus on distributing the aid that awaits them,” COGAT said in response to the aid groups’ report.Louise Wateridge, a spokeswoman for UNRWA, said the military was not coordinating movements for aid trucks to reach the stacked-up cargos. “If we are not provided a safe passage to go and collect it … it will not reach the people who need it,” she said.COGAT blamed the drop in October on closures of the crossings for the Jewish high holidays and memorials marking the anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 onslaught. An Israeli official also pointed to theft by Hamas and organized crime families in Gaza.The United States has rushed billions of dollars in military aid to Israel during the war while pressing it to allow more aid into Gaza.“There must be no forcible displacement, nor policy of starvation in Gaza,” US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the Security Council on Tuesday.She also said “thanks to intervention by the United States, Israel has taken some important steps” toward addressing “the undisputed humanitarian crisis” in the Strip.“Still, Israel must ensure its actions are fully implemented — and its improvements sustained over time.”Agencies contributed to this report.

'No American should receive tax benefits for funding terror' US House set to vote on bill targeting nonprofits accused of supporting terrorism-Proposed law would streamline government’s ability to strip tax-exempt status from charities suspected of funneling money to terror groups; critics fear it can be abused-By Asaf Elia-Shalev 12 November 2024, 10:52 pm

JTA — United States law prohibits nonprofits from providing support to terrorist organizations, but enforcing that prohibition requires the government to furnish proof of a violation, triggering a judicial process that can be lengthy and arduous.In the more than two decades since the current law was enacted following the 9/11 attacks, the law has rarely led to penalties: nine charities have lost their tax-exempt status under its terms.A bipartisan bill slated for a major vote on Capitol Hill Tuesday aims to create a new way to achieve that goal without the existing legal hurdles. The bill would give the treasury secretary new powers to independently classify any nonprofit as a terrorist-supporting organization and revoke its tax-exempt status almost immediately.A version of the bill was introduced following the October 7, 2023, Hamas invasion of Israel and passed the House in April, amid a wave of anti-Israel protests on college campuses, which many pro-Israel groups labeled as “pro-Hamas.” The bill advanced with broad bipartisan support, 382-11, but stalled in the Senate.Now, the new version of the bill is dividing Jewish groups. Centrist and conservative groups support the bill as an urgent measure to curb support for terrorism. Progressive organizations oppose it as a threat to political dissent — and worry that the powers it affords will be abused by the incoming Trump administration to go after groups that oppose its policies.At a September hearing, Robert Harvey, an expert at Congress’s nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, explained that the government would not be required to disclose how it reached its determination or to provide any evidence of wrongdoing.“As I understand it, all the Treasurer has to do to deny tax exemption is to mail a notice to the organization involved saying: ‘You’re a terrorist-supporting organization, we have found you are providing material support, and you’re denied your exemption?’” Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett asked Harvey, according to The Intercept.“That’s correct, Mr. Doggett,” Harvey replied.Lawmakers sponsoring the bill say the government needs a better tool to prevent terrorist organizations from being subsidized by American taxpayers. Their position is endorsed by the Anti-Defamation League, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and the Republican Jewish Coalition.The bill would allow the Treasury Department to act against the US-registered charities that it determines have provided support to groups designated as terrorist organizations by the United States, including, for example, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, both based in Gaza, and the Lebanese Hezbollah.After making the determination, the Treasury would notify the charity, giving it 90 days to file a court challenge before losing its tax-exempt status. Republican Rep. David Kustoff of Tennessee, one of the bill’s two Jewish cosponsors along with Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois, says the problem isn’t theoretical: He claims tax-exempt donations are currently flowing to terrorist organizations, though neither he nor any other proponents of the bill have named specific examples.“To put it plainly, domestic financiers of terrorism are currently being subsidized by US taxpayer dollars,” Kustoff said earlier this year. “Let me be clear: No American should receive a tax benefit for funding terrorism.”The RJC said the bill should be used to ensure that Hamas and other terrorist organizations are not receiving any funds from US nonprofits, and framed it as a tool against groups that attack American Jews and Israel.“Congress is right to address the threat of organizations using tax-exempt funds to support Hamas and other terrorist groups,” RJC said in a statement. “In case last week’s election results didn’t make it clear: The days of impunity for antisemitic extremists who target the Jewish state and Jewish Americans are over.”Critics of the bill say it grants too much power to the government and that it could be used to silence political dissent — particularly from pro-Palestinian organizations that don’t have ties to terror groups but may nonetheless be branded as supporters of Hamas. The language of the bill prohibits providing “material support or resources,” a category defined in law that, opponents say, could still be interpreted broadly. They also worry that the incoming Trump administration could use the bill to penalize groups focusing on signature progressive issues such as reproductive justice, the environment, and promoting immigration.The American Civil Liberties Union has been spearheading opposition to the bill with support from voices on both sides of the political spectrum. The libertarian Cato Institute and Reason magazine, for example, have come out against the bill. So have several progressive American Jewish groups such as Bend the Arc and the New Israel Fund.“This bill is as dangerous as it is extraneous,” the New Israel Fund, which donates to civil society groups in Israel, many of them left-leaning, said in a statement. “The United States already has a meticulous process in place to determine whether a group is providing material support for terrorism. What this would do is strip that system of due process and enable willy-nilly terrorist designations.”The bill is scheduled for a full vote in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, after which it would have to be approved by the Senate and signed by the president.The current version of the bill is identical to the one that passed in April, except that it’s been combined with another bill that aims to give American hostages and political prisoners held abroad relief from tax deadlines and penalties. The ACLU believes the pairing with an unobjectionable bill is a ploy to weaken the likelihood of opposition.

Israel unveils its latest submarine - 'Dragon' Netanyahu to Iranians: Another attack on Israel would ‘cripple’ Iran’s economy-In second message within months, PM says regime fears its own citizens more than Israel; looks to future of blossoming ties, freedom and prosperity for Iranians-By Lazar Berman 12 November 2024, 8:59 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that a third Iranian attack on Israel “would simply cripple Iran’s economy,’ in his second English-language video statement addressed to the Iranian people within months.“A few weeks ago, I spoke directly to the people of Iran. Millions of people around the world, millions in Iran itself saw that video. And after they saw it, many Iranians reached out to Israel. So today, I want to once again address the people of Iran,” Netanyahu said.“It would rob you of many more billions of dollars,” he said of a potential additional attack, after claiming that the October ballistic missile attack on Israel cost Tehran $2.3 billion.A Netanyahu spokesperson later clarified that $2.3 billion represented the cost of the more than 200 ballistic missiles fired at Israel.His warning that another attack would “cripple” Iran’s economy could also be interpreted as a threat that if Iran attacks again, Israel will seek to cause significant economic damage to Iran.Netanyahu last addressed the Iranian people just two days before Tehran launched some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1, sending most of the population rushing to bomb shelters and safe rooms. The assault — Iran’s second direct attack on Israel, after a drone and missile strike in April — caused relatively minor damage to military bases and some residential areas in Israel and killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank.Iran said its October 1 attack came in retaliation for the killing of Tehran-backed terror leaders and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander.Iran has threatened to strike Israel again after Israel retaliated last month with an airstrike on Iranian air defense batteries and military sites protecting crucial energy facilities.Netanyahu said that the October attack “did marginal damage to Israel.”“But what damage did [it] do to you?” he asked. “That sum could have added billions to your transportation budget. It could have added billions to your education budget.”“But instead, Khamenei exposed the regime’s brutality and turned the world against your country. He robbed you of money that should have been yours,” the prime minister said.Netanyahu argued that Iranians’ lives would be transformed if the regime spent money on education, infrastructure and health care instead of on wars with Israel.“I want you to imagine — just imagine — how your life could be different if Iran was free. You could speak your mind without fear. You could make a joke without wondering if you’d be carted off to Evin prison. Close your eyes. Picture the faces of your children — beautiful innocent souls. Think of the endless potential they would have. Their entire lives are ahead of them,” he said.‏”Imagine how your children’s lives would look if billions of dollars were invested in them instead of being wasted on wars that can’t be won. They would receive world-class education. You would receive beautiful roads. Advanced hospitals. Clean water. You know, Israel has the world’s most advanced desalination system and we’d be happy to help rebuild Iran’s collapsing water infrastructure. These and so many other things are the things that you could have,” he stated.“But that’s what Khamenei’s regime denies you every single day. They obsess about destroying Israel, rather than about building Iran. What a shame,” Netanyahu continued. “Another attack on Israel would simply cripple Iran’s economy. It would rob you of many more billions of dollars.”‏‏“I know that you don’t want this war,” Netanyahu said. “I don’t want this war either. The people of Israel don’t want this war. There is one force putting your family in grave danger: the tyrants of Tehran. That’s it.”‏While the Iranian regime gets weaker, Netanyahu said, Israel gets stronger. “The world has seen but a fraction of our power,” he said.“Yet there’s one thing Khamenei’s regime fears more than Israel. You know what it is? It’s you — the people of Iran. That’s why they spend so much time and money trying to crush your hopes and curb your dreams.”“Well, I say to you this: don’t let your dreams die. I hear the whispers: Women, Life, Freedom,” he said, referencing the slogan of nationwide Iranian protests in 2022.Looking to a future in which there is peace between Israel and Iran, Netanyahu said: “Don’t lose hope. And know that Israel and others in the free world stand with you.”“The regime wants to destroy your future as they seek to destroy our state. Well, we won’t let that happen. I have no doubt that one day in a free Iran, Israelis and Iranians will build together a future of prosperity and peace,” he said. “‎‏That is the future Israel deserves. That is the future Iran deserves. Together, let us turn this beautiful dream into a reality.”In his video in September, Netanyahu said that “Israel stands with them” and “they will be free sooner than people think.” An Iranian dissident who lives in Isfahan interviewed by The Times of Israel last month called the statement a “farce.”“Who does he think he is? We don’t need his help. We’ve been fighting this regime on our own for years, and we’ll continue to do so without outside intervention,” she said.Israel unveils the Dragon-Shortly before Netanyahu’s comments, the military unveiled its latest submarine.Israel’s submarines are seen as a key strategic asset for the Jewish state. According to foreign reports, the vessels are able to carry nuclear missiles and grant Israel a “second strike” capability, meaning the ability to launch atomic weapons even if the homeland is attacked. This is meant to serve as a deterrent toward the country’s enemies.A ceremony was held earlier Tuesday in Germany to officially name the Israeli Navy’s sixth submarine, INS “Drakon” — or Dragon — though the vessel will not be delivered until 2025, the military said.The Dolphin 2-class submarine is still undergoing tests and manufacturing at the Kiel shipyard in Germany.The INS Drakon is to be “equipped with unique systems, including groundbreaking technologies that expand the range of the IDF’s capabilities across various arenas,” the military said.The originally proposed name was Dakar, after an Israeli submarine that sank in 1968. Dragon is meant to be a compromise after some of the families of the fallen sailors from the original Dakar protested the proposal to recycle the name.The Navy notes that, in Hebrew, Drakon contains the letters that make up Dakar and thus preserves the sunken submarine’s memory.“Dakar” will instead be reserved for the name of the overall class of the Navy’s future submarines, which are scheduled for delivery at the beginning of the next decade.Gianluca Pacchiani and Emmanuel Fabian contributed to this report.

Space Systems Command concludes Tetra-1 satellite mission-by Clarence Oxford.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 13, 2024-Since its launch on November 1, 2022, the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command (SSC), in collaboration with Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing Company, has successfully wrapped up the Tetra-1 mission.Tetra-1 marked the first in a series of small satellites designed to showcase how SSC collaborates with non-traditional vendors to enhance on-orbit capabilities for the Space Force. Part of SSC's Innovation and Prototyping Directorate, the satellite was developed by Millennium Space Systems and deployed into geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) within an 18-month period. Tetra-1 provided essential training for over 250 Guardians and Airmen, allowing operators to engage in diverse tactics, techniques, and procedures.The capabilities delivered by Tetra-1 are vital for space operators as they enhance their proficiency in managing small satellites, shaping the potential future roles of such assets in USSF missions at GEO.Throughout its service, Tetra-1 participated in various advanced training sessions and experimental exercises. A highlight of its mission was its involvement in SCARLET STAR, a comprehensive testing and training campaign conducted by the 98th Space Range Squadron and the 57th Space Aggressor Squadron under the Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM). This campaign required extensive coordination across all three USSF Field Commands to execute multiple live on-orbit events.Eighteen months post-launch, Tetra-1 transitioned into a phase of residual operations, surpassing its original one-year mission expectancy. This shift was accomplished in under five months by a team from various organizations, facilitating the swift transfer of the Tetra-1 satellite and its ground station to a mission partner and its ground facility.Instead of retiring the satellite, the continued residual operations of Tetra-1 serve as a test platform for assessing the longevity of satellite components for future missions. Though Tetra-1's primary mission has concluded, its operational value will persist, greatly benefiting the USSF and the Department of Defense's space initiatives.Space Systems Command, as the field command of the U.S. Space Force, is tasked with acquiring, developing, and delivering resilient space capabilities that safeguard the nation's strategic advantage. SSC oversees a $15.6 billion space acquisition budget for the Department of Defense and collaborates with joint forces, industry, government bodies, academia, and allied partners to counter emerging threats. The command's efforts today lay the foundation for a secure space environment tomorrow.

Kongsberg secures major Naval Strike Missile contract with US valued at NOK 12 billion by Robert Schreiber.

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Nov 13, 2024-Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace (KONGSBERG) has been awarded a significant multi-year contract by the US Navy to supply Naval Strike Missiles (NSM) over a five-year period. The fixed-price contract is initially valued at NOK 10 billion, with options that could increase the total to NOK 12 billion."This contract is the largest missile contract in KONGSBERG's history and an important milestone for us. We are pleased the United States has selected KONGSBERG as an industry partner and look forward to continued cooperation to support US defence capabilities and create value for important stakeholders in Norway and the US," stated Geir Haoy, President and CEO of KONGSBERG.The NSM is central to the US Navy's Over-the-Horizon Weapons System (OTH-WS) Program, being deployed on Littoral Combat Ships and CONSTELLATION-class Frigates. Additionally, KONGSBERG is supplying the NSM to the US Marine Corps for its Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) Program."This contract is an example of the strong demand we see for our strike missiles across NATO and allied nations, which is why we this year have opened a new missile factory in Norway and announced two facilities in Australia and the US. The multi-year procurement contract vehicle provides KONGSBERG and all our sub-suppliers stability into the entire supply chain and workforce," said Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace.In response to growing global demand for the NSM and JSM (Joint Strike Missile), KONGSBERG recently revealed plans to establish a new missile production facility in James City County, Virginia.Originally developed by KONGSBERG and deployed by the Norwegian Navy in 2012, the NSM is renowned for its effective operational performance and resilience against advanced enemy defense systems. This missile system is integral to the Norwegian Navy's fleet and has been adopted by numerous international defense forces, including the US Navy, US Marine Corps, Poland, Romania, Canada, Germany, Australia, Malaysia, Spain, the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Latvia.

China achieves full real-time satellite data reception nationwide by Clarence Oxford.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 12, 2024-China now has real-time satellite data reception covering its entire national territory and 70 percent of Asia's land area, following the completion of a high-altitude ground station in Yulong Naxi autonomous county, Lijiang, operational since September."In other words, when a satellite passes over China, the data it collects is received by the ground station and transmitted in real-time to the Beijing headquarters for distribution to relevant units or research departments, enabling them to access the data promptly," explained Tang Mengyue, head of the Lijiang Satellite Ground Station at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute.The milestone follows the establishment of China's first ground station in Miyun district, Beijing, in 1986. The network now includes stations in Kashgar (Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region), Sanya (Hainan province), Lijiang (Yunnan province), and Mohe (Heilongjiang province), strategically positioned to cover all key directions.Real-time data transfer is crucial for various applications, particularly in monitoring environmental disasters like forest fires, earthquakes, and oil spills. Such rapid data availability enables timely and precise assessments and responses, minimizing potential damage and ensuring quick action by relevant authorities."These aspects may not be directly noticeable in our daily lives, but they are indispensable for the smooth functioning of society and our livelihoods," Tang emphasized.China's remote sensing satellites, equipped with different payloads, support an array of applications, including resource exploration, urban development, environmental monitoring, disaster management, and space research."Before 1986, scientists who needed to use remote sensing satellite data had to purchase it at a high cost from countries such as the United States," Tang noted. "But now, China's satellite ground station receiving technology has full independent intellectual property rights."

Poland opens long-awaited US missile base.

Redzikowo, Poland, Nov 13 (AFP) Nov 13, 2024-Polish and American officials on Wednesday opened a US missile base in northern Poland originally intended to defend the West against threats from the Middle East, but now aimed at confronting Russia.The Redzikowo base, 230 kilometres (143 miles) from the Russian border, has been operational since July but was officially inaugurated only on Wednesday."A US destroyer on Polish soil has become a fact," Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, describing it as "of historical importance for the security of Poland, the United States and NATO"."Through the conflicts which are ongoing right now, the conflict in Ukraine or in the Middle East, we can see how important air defence and missile defence is," he added.First announced in 2009, the project was plagued by delays, and Russia has since emerged as the main security concern for the military alliance's eastern flank.NATO chief Mark Rutte told reporters in Warsaw the base "significantly enhances our ability to defend against the growing threat of ballistic missiles from outside the Euro-Atlantic area".Despite NATO stating that the Redzikowo facility and a similar system in Romania are purely defensive, Moscow has frequently labelled it a threat.The new base "constitutes an advance of US military infrastructure in Europe towards our borders", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Wednesday.The inauguration comes as Warsaw and its regional allies brace for the US presidency of Donald Trump, who in the past has voiced admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin.But US Ambassador Mark Brzezinski said at the ceremony he was "confident that this close partnership between our two nations will continue".On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski welcomed the project in a post on social media as "proof of the geostrategic consistency of the United States".- 'Ever more aggressive' enemies -The base is part of a broader NATO missile shield -- dubbed "Aegis Ashore" -- which includes a system of radars that could intercept short- and medium-range ballistic missiles.Admiral Stuart Munsch, commander of the US naval forces in Europe and Africa, said "building our defences now is vitally important"."Global adversaries are becoming ever more aggressive, challenging the international order," he said at the ceremony."While the threat of ballistic missiles is concerning, the technology and the highly skilled operators of this Aegis Ashore site give us confidence in our defence."Polish general Mieczyslaw Bieniek, a former high-ranking NATO official, told the Polish news agency PAP there was potential to further develop the base's capabilities."There is technological possibility for this system to also be equipped with missiles of a different type that could counter cruise missiles, which would further reinforce our security," he said.But defence expert Marek Swierczynski questioned "to what extent the base or the anti-missile system was adapted to the threat of Russia and Belarus".He said that the initial conception of the long-delayed project was to counter "threats mainly from Iran"."This base is in a way a relic, a remnant of a previous system of thinking about European security which is not very compatible with the threat represented by Russia for example," he told AFP.NATO chief Rutte called the base's opening "an important milestone" but said the alliance would work towards "the full development of a NATO ballistic missile defence"."NATO must have the means to address threats from any direction... So we will work on this, step by step," he told reporters after talks with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw late Wednesday.More than 10,000 US troops are currently stationed in Poland, one of the staunchest supporters of neighbouring Ukraine, which is struggling to fend off a Russian invasion since 2022.

Vietnam looks to restart nuclear power projects.

Hanoi, Nov 13 (AFP) Nov 13, 2024-Vietnam wants to restart nuclear power plans to meet its rapidly expanding energy needs, the government has said, after it scrapped two multibillion-dollar projects in 2016.Rapidly industrialising Vietnam, with a population of 100 million people, relies mostly on coal and hydropower to power its fast-growing economy.Despite its dependence on fossil fuels, the communist nation has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, supported by a Just Energy Transition Partnership -- under which wealthier nations help developing countries switch to clean energy faster.On Tuesday, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh told the National Assembly in Hanoi that his government had asked authorities to restart nuclear power projects.He said this was to "ensure enough power for fast and sustainable socio-economic development in the long run"."If we aim at building an economic growth scenario with double digits, power needs will increase by 1.5 times," he added.In late 2016, Vietnam scrapped plans for two multibillion-dollar nuclear power plants, citing environmental and financial reasons. They were slated to be the first in Southeast Asia but were halted after cost estimates doubled to $18 billion.The two plants in central Ninh Thuan province with a combined capacity of 4,000 megawatts were to be developed with assistance from Russian state company Rosatom and the Japanese consortium JINED."The project was suspended not due to technological reasons, but the country's current economic situation," the government said at the time.

WEEK OF DANIEL 9:27 WE KNOW ITS 7 YRS

The King of Jerusalem[1] was the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Crusader state founded by Christian princes in 1099 when the First Crusade took the city.Godfrey of Bouillon, the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, himself refused the title of king, and instead chose the title "Defender of the Holy Sepulchre". Thus, the title of king was only introduced for his successor, King Baldwin I in 1100. The city of Jerusalem was lost in 1187, but the Kingdom of Jerusalem survived (also known as the "Second Kingdom of Jerusalem"), moving its capital to Acre in 1191. The city of Jerusalem was re-captured in the Sixth Crusade, during 1229–39 and 1241–44. The Kingdom of Jerusalem was finally dissolved with the fall of Acre and the end of the Crusades in the Holy Land in 1291.After the Crusader States ceased to exist, the title of King of Jerusalem was claimed by a number of European noble houses descended from the kings of Cyprus or the kings of Naples. The (purely ceremonial) title of King of Jerusalem is currently used by Felipe VI of Spain. It was claimed by Otto von Habsburg as Habsburg pretender, and by the kings of Italy until 1946.

DR SAMUEL DOCTORIANS VISION - SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The angel said: "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries."The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

Trump ambassador pick Huckabee says administration could back West Bank annexation-Former Arkansas governor, an ardent settlement supporter, cautions that he will not be the one to set policy; does not rule out resettling Gaza Strip-By ToI Staff Today, 8:17 pm-NOV 13,24

US President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be the next US ambassador to Israel said the incoming administration could support the annexation of the West Bank, though such a decision would be out of his hands.Mike Huckabee, a politician and Evangelical Christian leader with a history of strong support for Israeli building in the West Bank, was named Tuesday as Trump’s nominee for the post, drawing plaudits from settlement leaders.Speaking to Israel’s Army Radio Wednesday morning, Huckabee was asked whether annexation would be a possibility after Trump takes office in January.“Well of course,” Huckabee answered. “I won’t make the policy, I will carry out the policy of the president.”He said no other president had been as “helpful in securing an understanding of the sovereignty of Israel,” noting Trump’s support for recognizing Israel’s claims on the Golan Heights and Jerusalem.Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the US embassy there, though the administration said the move did not amount to recognition of the city’s borders, which were expanded in 1981 to include East Jerusalem as part of a de-facto annexation move.“No one has done more than President Trump and I fully expect that will continue,” Huckabee said.The former Arkansas governor also did not rule out the possibility of Israel rebuilding settlements in the Gaza Strip when asked.“Well I haven’t had time to process that,” he said. “I don’t want to make any comments about policy because those won’t be mine to make.”Support for annexation of the West Bank or the return of settlements in Gaza would mark a significant break with the current US administration, which has repeatedly spoken out against settlement activity as a barrier to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The administration has also warned repeatedly against resettling Israeli civilians in Gaza, which Israel evacuated in 2005.Trump’s first ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, was also an ardent supporter of West Bank settlements, and the administration largely shied away from criticizing Israeli building in the West Bank.A peace plan rolled out by Trump toward the end of his term was interpreted by Friedman and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a green light to annex the West Bank, though the effort never got off the ground.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, center, and then-tourism minister Yariv Levin during a meeting to discuss mapping extension of Israeli sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, held in the Ariel settlement, February 24, 2020. (David Azagury/US Embassy Jerusalem/File)-Friedman said Tuesday he was “thrilled” by Trump’s selection of Huckabee.Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War. The territory, home to some 3 million Palestinians and around 500,000 Israeli settlers, is widely seen as a future Palestinian homeland with East Jerusalem as its capital. Since Trump’s election last week, pro-settlement forces in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition have repeatedly raised hopes that Israel will annex the territory and win Washington’s backing for the move.On Monday, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich declared that 2025 would be “the year of sovereignty in [the West Bank],” thanks to Trump’s return to office, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir last week said that “this is the time for sovereignty.”However, at least two officials in Trump’s previous administration have warned senior Israeli ministers not to assume that the president-elect will support Israel annexing the West Bank in his second term, three sources familiar with the conversations told The Times of Israel.Huckabee has called Israel’s claim to the West Bank stronger than American ties to Manhattan and laid bricks in 2018 as ground was broken on a new housing complex in the settlement of Efrat.During the Army Radio interview, he noted that he was “a frequent visitor to Judea and Samaria,” using a Biblical term for the West Bank favored by those on the right wing.“I also very much believe that the people of Israel deserve a secure and safe country and anything I can do that will help accommodate that is going to be a great privilege for me,” he said.Aside from backing settlements, a term he says he abhors, Huckabee is also a bitter opponent of Palestinian nationalism.“There’s really no such thing as a Palestinian,” the former Baptist minister told a rabbi in Massachusetts in 2008, according to The New Yorker. “That’s been a political tool to try to force land away from Israel.”Among the first people to speak to Huckabee following the announcement of his nomination was Yossi Dagan, who heads the Samaria Regional Council in the northern West Bank.“The US has won and the State of Israel has won too. Mike Huckabee is a true leader, a smart man,” Dagan said in a statement that highlighted the nominee’s cooperation with the settlement movement.Huckabee is the first non-Jew nominated for the post since James Cunningham was tapped by then-US president George W. Bush in 2008. If confirmed, he will replace Jack Lew, who has served as Biden’s ambassador to Israel since November 2023.Jacob Magid contributed to this report.

Analysis-Despite optimism around chances for Lebanon deal, immense obstacles remain-US and Israeli officials laud progress toward ending fighting between Hezbollah and IDF, but the Iran-backed group is unlikely to accept Netanyahu’s core demands-By Lazar Berman-Today, 4:45 pm-NOV 13,24

An air of optimism has emerged around the chances for a negotiated end to the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon in the coming weeks.On Tuesday, US special envoy for Lebanon Amos Hochstein told reporters at the White House that “there is a shot” to secure a ceasefire soon and that he is “hopeful” about the deal’s prospects.Israeli officials have sounded similar notes.Speaking to reporters on Monday, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said there has been “certain progress” on a ceasefire in Lebanon.Another official told The Times of Israel that progress had been made, and now Israel was speaking to the US about letters “to anchor our ability and legitimacy to operate against any threat from Lebanon.”“If there are any attempts to fire at us, to build up their military, to bring in weapons through Syria, we will act,” promised the official.The fact that the US Joe Biden administration and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government see eye-to-eye on the parameters of a ceasefire in Lebanon is undoubtedly a positive development.Yet there will be no deal if a central player in the fight doesn’t accept the terms — Hezbollah.Any arrangement will officially be signed between Israel and Lebanon. At the same time, everyone knows that Beirut will not agree to anything that Hezbollah does not consent to.And it is hard to imagine the Shi’ite terror group accepting one of Israel’s core demands — that same freedom of action to operate in Lebanon to counter threats and stop the rebuilding of Hezbollah’s military.Israel isn’t about to relent on this point either. It wants the Lebanese Armed Forces to move into southern Lebanon in force and for countries like the UK and France to train the rather lackluster LAF. A massive deployment of Lebanese soldiers along Israel’s border is part of a solution, but they are not about to take on Hezbollah militarily when it decides the time is right to start moving assets toward Israel again.UNIFIL, which has unequivocally failed in its raison d’être of keeping Hezbollah from moving thousands of fighters and massive weapons caches to the border with Israel, would still be part of a settlement, in Israel’s eyes. The force would have to be overhauled, with more capable and assertive militaries making up a larger proportion of UNIFIL.France, which currently contributes 665 troops to the peacekeeping effort, is sure to become an even more central country to UNIFIL. Its forces have taken peacekeeping efforts in Africa seriously, and Paris understands that the situation on the Lebanon-Israel border cannot return to the pre-October 7 reality.Still, that wouldn’t be enough for Israel. It will not rely entirely on the weak military of an enemy state or international peacekeepers who have already let Hezbollah build up a formidable force on Israel’s borders once before.Nor would it likely satisfy the tens of thousands of displaced Israelis who would look with understandable suspicion at yet another negotiated document that is supposed to convince them that no Hezbollah anti-tank missile will strike their homes after they move back.Further, deeper-It may be that Hezbollah is eager to end the fighting, after losing its leadership, military positions, and thousands of operatives, and will ultimately accept the deal that Israel and the US put on the table.If it isn’t, however, then Israel has no other cards left to play other than expanding its ground operation in Lebanon.An Israeli official told The Times of Israel that if Lebanon turns down the latest US-Israeli offer, the IDF is ready to drive further into the country.As negotiators — including Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer — continue their work this week in Washington, the IDF is already pushing ahead. The military announced that the 91st Division has reached “new targets” belonging to Hezbollah, as commandos raided several new areas.Yesterday, the IDF said that the 36th Division has also expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon.Though senior officials, including novice Defense Minister Israel Katz, are calling for Israel to keep attacking Hezbollah until it achieves all of its goals, that option comes with considerable problems.Israel’s ground operation in Lebanon was conceived as primarily an engineering effort — a war on Hezbollah infrastructure in the border area. The IDF said that the “limited, localized, and targeted ground raids” would be focused on border villages that posed an immediate threat to Israeli towns.IDF forces have completed that task, but northern residents still aren’t in their homes.Expanding the operation could mean that Israel will destroy Hezbollah weapons caches and fighting positions in villages further away from the border. That is unlikely to push Hezbollah into a ceasefire, nor will it make Israelis more comfortable about returning home. The minute the IDF leaves, Hezbollah can infiltrate the area with missile teams and fire at Israeli towns if it so chooses.If the operation starts focusing on defeating more of Hezbollah’s fighting units, then the way it is being carried out violates basic military principles. Instead of taking advantage of the IDF’s mobility to rapidly confuse and encircle enemy units, Israeli forces are moving slowly from a predictable direction, presenting Hezbollah with few dilemmas on the field.In the meantime, Hezbollah seems to have found its footing again. It was knocked off balance in September, when Israel detonated thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies in the hands of terrorists, assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and took out most of the elite Radwan force leadership.But the terror group is recovering. It maintains consistent rocket fire on northern Israel, and Hezbollah attacks have killed 36 IDF soldiers in the month-and-a-half since Israel began its ground operation. It has also managed to carry out high-profile drone attacks, including on the Golani Brigade’s training base and Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea.It seems prepared for a war of attrition against IDF forces if they stay in Lebanon, a form of conflict that offers advantages to the guerrilla force. Though Hezbollah will lose many times more men than the IDF, Israel is far more sensitive to casualties, and as the death toll slowly ticks up, domestic pressure is likely to do so as well. That strategy worked for Hezbollah in the 1990s, when an Israeli protest movement successfully pushed political and military leaders to accept the need for a withdrawal from the security zone in southern Lebanon.For all that, there remains a quick way out of the fighting in Lebanon. Hezbollah has repeatedly said it would stand down if the war in Gaza came to an end.Though Netanyahu would like to see a successful end to that campaign as well, Hamas has no incentive to accept anything less than victory in a deal that sees the hostages released from captivity. That would mean that the group remains in Gaza, and is in a position to slowly recover its governing and military capabilities.Israel is not about to accept that, and the fighting will go on.The Trump factor-Still, there is an upcoming event that could change the dynamics in Lebanon.US President-elect Donald Trump will take office on January 20, and is expected to be much more aggressive against Iran and its axis than Biden was. He selected Iran hawks to his cabinet, and employed a maximum pressure sanctions campaign against the Islamic Republic in his first term.Iran is sure to be nervous about Trump’s return, and will be looking to dial down tensions with the US until it gets a read on the direction of Trump’s policy in the region.Threats from Trump to Iran about the price it will pay if its proxy Hezbollah refuses to accept a ceasefire could well make the cost of continued combat too high for Tehran.But that message has yet to be issued. In the meantime, Biden’s top aides are throwing their full weight behind the effort to help Israel wrap up the fighting before Trump returns to the White House.

Archaeology'Natufian perforated stones are 1st wheels in form and function' 12,000-year-old Stone Age site in Israel reveals first evidence of wheel technology-Over 100 small stone objects from Neolithic period are the earliest instance of ‘spindle whorls,’ used to spin fibers into yarn, predating previously known textile tools by 4,000 years-By Gavriel Fiske-Today, 9:05 pm-NOV 13,24

Researchers have determined that a collection of 12,000-year-old tiny stone objects found at a Stone Age site in the Jordan Valley were likely used to spin fibers into yarn, a discovery that pushes back the use of the technique by thousands of years, the Hebrew University said in a Wednesday announcement.The objects, called spindle whorls, are small, weighted circular objects made of limestone or other soft rock that feature a “circular shape perforated by a central hole” that when attached to a stick, form a “wheel-and-axle-like device to help the spindle rotate faster and longer, enabling it to efficiently gather up fibers such as wool or flax and spin them into yarn,” the university said.“This discovery marks the earliest known evidence of this fast-spinning technology in the Levant, predating previously known textile tools by 4,000 years and highlighting an important stage in human innovation,” the researchers said.The researchers analyzed more than 100 of the objects, which were scattered around the Nahal-Ein Gev II site, a few kilometers south of the Sea of Galilee. The site is associated with the Natufian period, a time in the late Stone Age when humans had settled in permanent villages but had not yet developed agriculture or domesticated farm animals.Because the objects “are simple limestone pebbles that don’t stick out at first glance, it was a surprise” to determine their probable use, said researcher Talia Yashuv, speaking to The Times of Israel by phone.Yashuv, along with Professor Leore Grosman from the Computational Archaeology Laboratory at the Hebrew University’s Institute of Archaeology, authored a paper on the subject, “12,000-year-old spindle whorls and the innovation of wheeled rotational technologies,” published on Wednesday in the peer-reviewed online journal PLOS and based on Yashuv’s MA thesis.The “Natufian perforated stones” are in fact “the first wheels in form and function,” the researchers said, round objects “with a hole in the center connected to a rotating axle, used long before the appearance of the wheel for transportation purposes.”The technology is considered a precursor to “wheel-based rotational innovations” such as the potter’s wheel and the cartwheel, “key advancements that revolutionized human technological history” that appeared many thousands of years later, the researchers said.“When we started the research, we really didn’t know… we thought maybe they had to do with fishing or some other craft,” Yashuv said. The Natufians at the site had developed “a new innovative technique of fast drilling” — essentially attaching a hard, carved stone to the end of a stick, which could then be rotated quickly between the hands — and also had “a beautiful bead industry,” she said.But the spindle whorls “were different,” Yashuv said. They weren’t beads and weren’t stone weights used in net fishing, which were made of harder material and of a totally different shape.To confirm their hunch, the researchers scanned the whorls and then analyzed them using customized software to determine that the objects uniformly had “the morphological characteristics similar to the ones that you need if you want to use them for spinning,” Yashuv said.All the objects were determined to have a certain “kind of symmetrical shape… [meaning] the relation between the width and the length and the location of the center of mass, which is a signature to how you use the tool,” she said.But because the spinning whorls were dated from 12,000 years ago, some 4,000 years before other known instances of the technology, further proof was needed.“After we suspected that they would have been spindle whorls, we went to a specialized craftswoman, Yonit Kristal,” Yashuv explained.Kristal was able to use the replicas to spin flax into yarn, and determined that using the whorls was a more efficient method to do so than just “twisting the fibers between your thigh and your fingers,” or rubbing between flat stones, both theorized methods for creating yarn among Stone Age societies, Yashuv said.Image showing various spinning methods for producing yarn: a. ‘manual thigh-spinning,’ b. Spindle-and-whorl ‘supported spinning’ [68, and c. ‘drop spinning.’ d. shows the experimental spindles and whorls and below, 3D scans of the pebbles. The bottom pictures show Yonit Kristal experimenting with spinning fibers using replicas of the perforated pebbles, using both supported spinning and drop spinning techniques, photographed by Talia Yashuv. (courtesy Hebrew University/PLOS One)-The whorls represent an “initial stage of invention” in the development of textile technologies, part of the general advancement of the Natufian period, which lasted for several thousand years, Yashuv said.The Nahal-Ein Gev site was a village with “architecture, houses and cemeteries… Their art expanded and they made heavy stone tools and had close relations with animals, but not domestication yet. It was a culture in transition between being nomads and hunter-gatherers and becoming an agricultural society,” she explained.The Natufians used stone tools and didn’t have pottery, but were able to manipulate their environment and made lime plaster, a significant advance in building technology. They also developed more complex social structures and religious rituals. The string produced by the spindle whorls would probably have been used “for everything,” including clothing, weaving, beading and making fishing nets and ropes, Yashuv said.“Traditionally, ethnographically, women are associated with textiles and crafts, and we know at Nahal-Ein Gev there was an intensification in specialization and the division of labor,” but “we can’t say for certain” who exactly in Natufian society was using the whorls, she said.The Nahal-Ein Gev village was inhabited for about 500 years, from around 10,500 to 10,000 BCE. The spindle whorl technology then disappears from the archaeological record before popping up again about 4,000 years later at a site only 10 kilometers away, perhaps indicating a continuation of “cultural tradition” in the area, Yashuv said.After this, spindle whorls were “found everywhere” in the Levant and were often made of ceramic materials, Yashuv said. By that time, around 6,500 BCE, the Neolithic revolution was in full swing, agriculture had long been developed and diverse animal species had been domesticated.The Natufians at Nahal-Ein Gev were still part of the Stone Age, Yashuv said, and were “a Paleolithic culture. However, they were the last ones.”

Leading technology companies Google and Amazon will compete in a closed tender to provide data infrastructure for Israel’s supercomputer, aimed at equipping the high-tech industry and academia with faster computational power to train large artificial intelligence models.The tender, led by the Israel Innovation Authority, which is in charge of setting out the nation’s tech policy, is part of the NIS 1 billion ($266 million) National AI Program, geared to help Israel maintain and strengthen its position as a global leader in light of the fast-evolving technology.“We want Israeli companies to push for this big revolution of AI by collecting relevant data, uploading them to the cloud, and start training them to get insights in order to supply services and new products,” Aviv Zeevi, head of the technology infrastructure division at the Israel Innovation Authority told The Times of Israel. “We don’t want Israeli companies to be delayed by the fact there is not enough infrastructure or it’s too costly for them to train the data.”Supercomputers are next-generation machines that can process exponentially more data than classical computers with a number-crunching capability to perform calculations at blazingly fast speeds. They use a significant number of graphics processing units (GPUs) — which offer high processing and computational abilities that ordinary computers cannot achieve — to run complex simulations, address questions about nature and climate change, and develop new AI-driven technologies in areas from transportation and medicine to drug discovery.Israel still ranks among the top 10 ecosystems for artificial intelligence, but it is far from unlocking the full potential of revolutionary technology as competition in the global AI race intensifies.Over the past year, industry leaders and tech entrepreneurs have raised concerns that Israel is missing the AI wave and needs to implement a long-term strategy to allocate money and resources to boost education and academic research, encourage startups, and provide the infrastructure and computational power needed to run AI models.The Israel Innovation Authority is concerned that the lack of local AI supercomputing infrastructure is limiting the Israeli high-tech industry’s competitive advantage. That’s as many governments worldwide are providing the needed supercomputing infrastructure to academia and local industry.The forthcoming supercomputer with cloud-based access is intended to address this gap by making it available for researchers and companies at a reduced cost.“With this tender, we are targeting a very specific need for a GPUs-based platform,” said Zeevi. “We are hoping to build an infrastructure with at least 2000 GPUs, which are dedicated specifically for the training of AI models and will be accessible for the Israeli industry and academia, as the ones that already exist are either in specific companies like Intel or Nvidia, or accessible from outside of Israel.”As part of the NIS 240 million ($64 million) government tender to build the supercomputing infrastructure, Google and Amazon will need to submit their proposals over the next two weeks. The Israel Innovation Authority is hoping to choose the winner of the tender in December and sign a contract at the beginning of next year.Back in 2021, Google and Amazon were selected as the winners of a government tender to build and provide cloud-based regional data centers and services to local public entities as part of the Nimbus project.Israel is home to about  9,000 startups, out of which more than 2,200 are AI-based tech firms in finance, healthcare, food, energy, agriculture, transportation, manufacturing and construction. With 73 startups, Israel ranks third in the world after the US and the UK in the field of firms developing generative AI technologies.
