Hidden History -- In The Making

HILLARY CLINTON’S “OUTRIGHT DENIAL” GAZA REMARKS HAVE BEEN SLAMMED BY A GENOCIDE PREVENTION GROUP

Former American Secretary Of State Can Now Add Institutional Backlash To The Public Criticism She’s Received For Comments On Israel’s Genocide In Gaza.

A prominent genocide prevention group has termed Hillary Clinton’s recent remarks on Israel’s war on Gaza as “outright genocide denial”, in a statement released on Tuesday.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security said Clinton had misdiagnosed Israel’s battered reputation among Americans during her talk at the Israel Hayom Summit on December 2^nd.

In her talk, the former first lady and secretary of state said Israel “has the worst PR of any group”, blaming TikTok, in particular, for presenting what she called “pure propaganda”, referring to Israeli violence against Palestinians during its genocide in Gaza.

“Secretary Clinton’s framing is not at all an accurate reflection of why Americans are growing more critical of Israel,” the institute said.

The institute added that Americans did not fall prey to propaganda, but rather to years of videos “uploaded by Palestinian journalists, ordinary people trying to survive in Gaza, IDF soldiers, and ordinary Israelis themselves”, referring to the Israeli army in using the acronym “IDF”.

“There has been no convincing refutation of the sheer amount of raw evidence of genocide coming out of Palestine. Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well.”

Israel is currently occupying 56 percent of the Gaza Strip and has killed more than 360 people since the “ceasefire” was announced on October 10^th, with violations occurring daily.

Over 71,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s war on the enclave, which has been widely recognised as a genocide by the United Nations, several states, world leaders, historians, and leading human rights organizations, including the Lemkin Institute.

The Lemkin Institute was founded in 2017 as The Iraq Project for Genocide Prevention and Accountability by Elisa von Joeden-Forgey and Irene Victoria Massimino, both recognised scholars with an expertise in genocide, colonialism, and international law.

It is named after Raphael Lemkin, a Polish lawyer who coined the term “genocide”.

The Lemkin Institute grew out of the initial project to encompass a broader mandate and is now a member of Global Action Against Mass Atrocity Crimes, a network of states, civil society groups, and academic institutions that aim to prevent atrocities.

“NO LONGER FOOLED BY GENOCIDE DENIAL”

Clinton’s opinions have already drawn widespread backlash, condemnation, and mockery online.

Clinton characterised people’s positions as a “serious problem for democracy”, remarking that when she attempted to have “reasonable discussions” with young people, it was challenging because “they did not know history, they had very little context, and what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided, it was pure propaganda”.

She also accused young Jewish Americans of being ignorant, saying social media influenced “not just the usual suspects, but also young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand”.

Several Jewish Americans online challenged Clinton’s assertion, calling it “offensive”.

The institute noted that Clinton did not make any mention of the “reality of genocidal violence” but was instead primarily concerned with the optics of the situation.

“Her concern is, rather, in her words, ‘the narrative’ – the fact that these crimes are no longer hidden and are now being live-streamed and documented in real time, making it harder for her and others to control it,” the statement said.

“Many carefully researched reports by international organizations have established that Israel’s crimes meet the international legal threshold for genocide. We encourage the former Secretary to read them.”

The statement also pointed out that it was ironic to blame TikTok for disseminating what she characterised as anti-Israel propaganda when TikTok has been documented and widely criticised for censoring pro-Palestinian content.

“In July of this year, TikTok appointed an ex-IDF instructor as its new manager of hate speech,” the Lemkin Institute said.

The institute accused Clinton of lamenting the notion that people now have a broader range of information to access.

“What truly seems to unsettle Secretary Clinton is not ‘misinformation,’ but rather the fact that younger generations are no longer consuming a single, state-controlled narrative. They are accessing unfiltered images and testimonies that challenge decades of political messaging.” The institute said that young people are “no longer fooled by genocide denial” and are “tired and appalled by the continued genocides around the world”.

“Secretary Clinton’s remarks are not only inaccurate – they are also a shameful example of the lengths to which people complicit in genocide will go to deny its existence.”

A DONKEY ISRAELI SETTLERS STOLE FROM A PALESTINIAN CHILD IN THE WEST BANK WAS SLAUGHTERED

Seven Israeli Settlers Stole Three Donkeys A Palestinian Child From The West Bank Village Of Jaba’ On Monday And Slaughtered One Of Them.

“They took the donkeys, and the child ran away in fear,” one of the residents said. According to him, residents contacted the police and the army, who arrived at the outpost about half an hour later, claimed no one was there, and left the scene.

After their departure, residents testified, the settlers slaughtered one of the donkeys. The IDF and police did not respond.

“They slaughtered the donkey with a knife and tied it up,” one resident described. “They apparently stoned its head with rocks.” Footage published on social media shows the donkey’s head tied to a rock, and blood streaming from several parts of its body.

“It’s inhuman to do such a thing. The donkey wasn’t part of any dispute or quarrel between people,” said a resident. “People are very afraid now; they saw what was done to the donkey.”

A few hours after the incident, settlers from the outpost went to Jaba’ and threw stones at residents, who repelled them. By the time the army and police arrived, the settlers had already fled.

“That’s usually how it goes,” a village local said. “The police say, ‘We want to catch them, but we can’t.’ We don’t know what to do.” The resident complained that he had nowhere else to go.

“If the government wanted, it could put all the settlers who attack us in prison,” he said. “We keep telling the police, ‘Just as you arrest us, come arrest the settlers who attack us too.’ But no one is arrested, and the attacks don’t stop.”

According to the local, most of the attacks occur on Saturdays. “I once worked for religious people on the Sabbath [Saturday, the Jewish day of rest] – they don’t drive, don’t smoke, don’t light fires – but here, on Saturday, they set houses on fire and come to cause trouble,” he said.

“On Saturday night, they came and threw stones at my house. I called the police, who said, ‘We’ll come.’ Ten minutes later, the police called and asked if they were still there. They had already left, so I said no, and no one came.”

The Gur Aryeh outpost serves as a hotbed for attacks against Palestinians, including arson of buildings and stone-throwing by the settlers who inhabit it. It was dismantled by the IDF’s Civil Administration last week, but according to Palestinians and footage distributed by settlers, it was rebuilt this past Saturday.

In recent weeks, the IDF has frequently arrived at the village, mainly on Saturdays. A week ago, the army used tear gas to separate Palestinians from settlers who had invaded the community, but no one was arrested in the incident.

According to a villager, the army’s presence does not always ensure their safety. “It depends on the soldier. Some soldiers sit here nearby, patrol, and make their presence known. Others stand two kilometers away from the houses,” he explains.

“You can hope they’ll come in time, but they sit and don’t see what’s happening in front of them,” the resident said. “I told one of them this week, ‘At 1 A.M., they’ll come and burn the house down on top of my children and me. And you won’t know about it until you see the fire.'”

According to the resident, the soldier said he could signal him with his flashlight if trouble arose. “The army is here, but I still have to stay up all night to make sure they don’t set my family on fire while they sleep.”

WE COULD END POVERTY, BUT WE DON’T – IS THE CRAZIEST THING IN THE WORLD

Humanity Became Capable Of Ensuring That This Never Happened To Anyone Again, And Just Rode Right Past That Stunning Moment In History Without Even Glancing Up From Its Smartphone.

It’s the craziest thing in the world that we already have the technological ability to provide a decent standard of living for everyone on earth, but it doesn’t happen because it’s not profitable. We attained the greatest scientific achievement of all time and then did nothing with it. Our society is completely uninterested in it because capitalism is completely uninterested in it.

It’s just so insane how this doesn’t sit front and center in our attention all the time. There are people dying of starvation, exposure and preventable illnesses every single day for no good reason. Humanity became more than capable of ensuring that this never happened to anyone ever again, and just rode right past that stunning moment in history without even glancing up from its smartphone.

Can you imagine if we did that with any other major technological development?

“Oh yeah humans can fly now… but let’s not.”

“Hey humans now have the ability to share ideas and information in real time with anyone in the world, but whatever, let’s keep mailing letters instead.”

And many would argue that the ability to eliminate poverty and needless human suffering is a far more significant development than flight or the internet. But because it doesn’t generate value for shareholders, we cruised right past it going “Let’s make a chatbot that can generate an Alvin and the Chipmunks version of any song!”

This happened because caring for everyone was never the goal of capitalism. The goal of capitalism is to extract labor from the working class and resources from the global south to sell goods and services at a rate that generates profit for the owners of the means of production. That’s it.

Capitalism has no wisdom. It will start wars to generate profit. It will have impoverished populations toiling in mines and sweatshops for pennies in order to generate profit. It will burn up critical drinking water supplies for AI data centers in order to generate profit. It will cut down the last acre of old-growth rainforest in order to generate profit. It will pollute the air, fill the oceans with plastic and kill all the insects if offloading the cost of industry onto the ecosystem helps generate profit.

The entire world is being consumed by an artificially imposed system which holds as its foundational premise that mass-scale human behavior should be driven by the pursuit of profit for its own sake. It’s a mindless, planet-devouring machine of our own making. It is creating unfathomable destruction and suffering for terrestrial organisms of every species.

And it doesn’t have to be this way. There is nothing inscribed upon the fabric of the universe which says that we need to live under a system which causes us to feed our biosphere into the woodchipper so that billionaires can become trillionaires. Nowhere is it written in adamantine that that the many must always toil and suffer for the benefit of the few. Things are the way they are because of systems that were put in place by human beings, and human beings can replace those systems with different ones.

If we are to continue to survive on this planet, we’re going to have to move from systems which drive us to compete against our fellow humans and our fellow terrestrial organisms to systems that are driven by collaboration toward the good of all beings. Such systems would be entirely unprecedented by their nature, because unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures. It would be unlike anything that’s ever been done before, but it is now a matter of existential importance that it be done.

We’re going to have to change. We’re going to have to become kinder. Gentler. Emotionally intelligent. Driven by the desire for the greater good instead of by fear and insecurity. We’re going to have to wake up. We’re going to have to become unlike anything we’ve ever been before.

Every species eventually hits an adapt-or-die juncture in its existence. This is ours. We must become a compassionate animal, or we will go the way of the dinosaur.

A LEAKED MEMO REVEALS THAT THE FBI MAKING A LIST OF AMERICAN “EXTREMISTS”

Attorney General Bondi Ordered The FBI To “Compile A List Of Groups Or Entities Engaging In Acts That May Constitute Domestic Terrorism,” According To A Justice Department Memo.

The target is those expressing “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,” as well as “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” and “anti-Christianity.”

That language echoes the so-called indicators of terrorism identified by President Trump’s directive National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, or NSPM-7, which the memo says it’s intended to implement. Where NSPM-7 was a declaration of war on just about anyone who isn’t MAGA, this is the war plan for how the government will wage it on a tactical level.

In addition to compiling a list of undesirables, Bondi directs the FBI to enhance the capabilities (and publicity) of its tipline in order to more aggressively solicit tips from the American public on, well, other Americans. To that end, Bondi also directs the FBI to establish “a cash reward system” for information leading to identification and arrest of leadership figures within these purported domestic terrorist organizations. (The memo later instructs the FBI to “establish cooperators to provide information and eventually testify against other members” of the groups.)

The payouts don’t end there. Justice Department grants are now to prioritize funding to programs for state and local law enforcement to go after domestic terrorism.

In a section titled “Defining the domestic terrorism threat,” the memo cites “extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment” — indicators that federal law enforcement are instructed to refer to FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs). Those JTTFs are then instructed to “use all available investigative tools” in order to “map the full network of culpable actors involved” in both “inside and outside the United States.”

The memo also directs the FBI and JTTFs to retroactively investigate incidents going back five years, authorizing the JTTFs in particular to use everything at their disposal to do so.

“Upon receipt of these referrals, the JTTFs shall use all available investigative tools, consistent with law enforcement internal policies and statutory obligations, to map the full network of culpable actors involved in the referred conduct inside and outside the United States,” the memo says.

For months, major media outlets have largely blown off the story of NSPM-7, thinking it was all just Trump bluster and too crazy to be serious. But a memo like this one shows you that the administration is absolutely taking this seriously — even if the media are not — and is actively working to operationalize NSPM-7.

NSPM-7 was signed in September largely in response to the murder of Charlie Kirk, which was a 9/11-type event for the Trump administration, as has been reported. (Kirk’s assassination is referenced explicitly in the Justice Department memo.) As anyone who lived through 9/11 can remember, the government doesn’t always think rationally in moments like those, to say the least. And so here we are, with a new War on Terrorism — only this time, millions of Americans like you could be the target.

IT’S WRONG TO TRAIN DOGS TO RAPE PRISONERS – SORRY IF THAT IS ANTISEMITIC

One Thing Some Try Not To Think About Is How Many Reports We’ve Seen About Israeli Prison Guards Training Dogs To Rape Palestinian Captives In Torture Camps Like Sde Teiman.

Drop Site News has a new write-up about a testimony from a journalist published by the Palestinian Journalists Protection Center. The reporter says that during his 20 months of hell in Israeli prisons he was electrocuted, beaten, starved, and sexually assaulted on film. He also says he was sexually assaulted by a “trained dog” — just the latest in a long string of such allegations coming out of Israel’s notorious network of torture prisons.

Last month Novara Media published an article titled “Israeli Prison Guards Are Using Dogs to Rape Palestinians, Former Detainees Say,” based on information collected by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights. The Electronic Intifada published an article titled “Palestinians recount gang rapes by Israeli soldiers, dogs” based on the same testimonies.

In August of last year The New Arab interviewed a Palestinian law graduate who was detained by Israeli forces and said he watched as “a dog raped another hostage before my eyes” after the Israelis poured some sort of liquid on him.

In June of last year Euro-Med Monitor published a report saying it had “received horrific testimonies from recently released detainees confirming the brutal and inhumane use of Israeli police dogs to rape prisoners and detainees.”

There are records of Nazis and Chilean fascists using dogs to rape prisoners in this way, though according to the IHRA definition of antisemitism that western governments have been shoving down our throats lately it is against the rules to draw any comparisons between Israel and the Nazis.

So, very sorry if this comes across as antisemitic, but it’s wrong to sexually assault prisoners using trained rape dogs. You should actually think it’s one of the most evil things you have ever heard of.

We do not mean to be antisemitic with anti-rape dog rhetoric because apparently literally any criticism of literally any Israeli atrocity can land one with that label. Just this past weekend, for example, the pro-Israel group StopAntisemitism announced that children’s YouTube star Ms. Rachel is a nominee for its annual Antisemite of the Year designation.

To be clear, Ms. Rachel has never at any time said anything negative about Jewish people or Judaism. Her one and only offense making her an Antisemite of the Year nominee is that she has been saying on social media that it is wrong to kill children. Opposition to murdering children by starvation and bombing campaigns is what led to this celebrity being accused of hating Jews.

Why is an institution which calls itself StopAntisemitism equating the mass murder of children with the Jewish faith? Why are they suggesting that opposition to slaughtering kids is the same as opposition to Jews? If it was our job to stop antisemitism, we personally would not be actively circulating the idea that massacring children is synonymous with Judaism or plays some special role in the religious practices of its adherents.

To clarify, we are absolutely not suggesting that the mass murder of children is an important part of Jewish life. That would be a terrible thing to say, not much different from the libels which have been spread about Jewish people since medieval times. But it sure does sound like StopAntisemitism is saying that.

In any case, you should think it’s wrong to murder children, and to think it’s wrong to rape prisoners with trained rape dogs. We truly do not mean to hurt anyone’s feelings or offend anybody when we say this.

SEVERE LIFE-CHANGING INJURIES IN GAZA ARE AFFECTING MORE THAN 42,000 PALESTINIANS

This Is Almost Double The Figure Recorded A Year Ago, According To The Palestinian Central Bureau Of Statistics, Citing World Health Organization Estimates.

22,500 cases had already been documented by July 2024, a number that has continued to climb as Israeli attacks persist.

The most common injuries include complex limb trauma, amputations, burns, spinal cord and brain damage, many of them resulting in permanent loss of movement or sensation.

The report recorded more than 5,000 amputations, with around 75 percent affecting the lower limbs.

Children remain among the hardest hit:

More than 10,000 children now live with injuries causing long-term disability. One in four of those seriously wounded is a child

Doctors Without Borders says 70 percent of burn patients requiring surgery were children, most of them under five, highlighting the brutality of injuries and the lack of supplies.

It is about time for all people to face the reality of the results of Israel’s racist culture and the affect on common man.

FOREIGN MEDICAL WORKERS ARE BEING DENIED ENTRY TO GAZA BY ISRAEL DESPITE THE CEASEFIRE

Israel Has Denied The Entry Of At Least Four American Health Professionals And Dozens More Foreign Medical Workers For Humanitarian Missions In The Gaza Strip.

That is despite the ceasefire that came into effect in October, it was reported on Monday.

One of those denied entry is Feroze Sidhwa, an American trauma surgeon based in California, who has already completed two missions in the besieged enclave, working at hospitals to treat Palestinians injured in Israel’s genocidal military campaign launched in October 2023.

Sidhwa, who has spoken publicly about what he experienced in Gaza, including in testimony to the UN Security Council in May, said that he was informed just a few hours before he was scheduled to leave for Gaza from Jordan last month that his name was not on Israel’s approved list of foreigners to enter Gaza.

The 43-year-old trauma surgeon told the Washington Post that he does not know whether his public testimony about the military onslaught on Gaza affected Israel’s decision as no reason was given for the denial. The paper said Israeli officials did not respond to requests for comment.

The American brokered ceasefire “had promised a surge in humanitarian assistance”, the paper stated, “as tens of thousands of Palestinians still suffer from life-changing wounds.

OVER 3.5M MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS

Sidhwa’s mission would have entailed performed complex surgeries on wounded Palestinians and teaching local doctors “news and safety techniques” for them to carry out the surgeries themselves, the paper stated. The surgeon is considering taking his case to the Israeli Supreme Court next year, it noted.

According to the WHO, the paper reported, more than 3.5 million medical consultations and mover 50,000 emergency surgeries have been performed by international medical volunteers who have been “rotating in and out of Gaza on short term missions.”

Citing a UN official who spoke anonymously, the paper also noted that before the ceasefire took effect, Israel denied entry “to more than a third of those who’d made it through a preapproval process on average.”

Even though the rejection has dropped since the ceasefire, the UN official added, about 20 percent of those seeking entry to volunteer are denied permission at the 11th hour.

PUBLIC TESTIMONY

Another medical professional who has been denied entry twice over the past week and a half is John Kahler, a pediatrician and co-founder of MedGlobal, a Chicago-based nonprofit, the paper reported. He “had planned to assess the needs of the thousands of child amputees, to help set up a new rehabilitation project,” the report stated.

A British plastic surgeon, Victoria Rose, who has been to Gaza thrice during Israel’s military campaign over the past two years, was also rejected for the third time last week. Rose has spoken out about treating victims of the mass shootings of aid seekers linked to the controversial, now disbanded, American and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

She told the paper: “I definitely think the denials are due to the fact that we’ve spoken out.”

However, Nor Rizek, a nurse from Arizona said there was “no reason or rhyme” for her having been denied entry last month. Rizek said she has not engaged in much advocacy publicly or on social media.

Rizek, who worked in an emergency room in northern Gaza earlier this year, said Palestinians “have been exhausted, drained and physically and mentally beat for the past two years.” Therefore, she continued, “allowing in foreign nurses and doctors, the few of us who are allowed in, doesn’t even scratch the surface.”

MINIMAL FUNCTIONING HOSPITALS

Mohammed Subeh, another American emergency room physician, who was denied entry last week, said that he had planned to assist at a Gaza City field hospital that is attending to hundreds of patients daily.

A spokesman for America’s Central Command (CENTCOM) declined to comment about the denial of entry for health workers, the paper said.

According to the WHO, only 14 out of 36 hospitals are partially functioning, while more than 16,500 Palestinians in Gaza are in urgent need of medical care not available in the enclave.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israel has killed 376 Palestinians and injured 981 more since the ceasefire came into effect. The total death toll since October 7^th, 2023, has risen to 70,365, in addition to 171,058 injuries.

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT CYBER SECURITY IS CONTROLLED BY FORMER ISRAELI SPIES

A Company With Deep Ties To Israeli Intelligence Oversees Cyber Security Across More Than Seventy Government Agencies, Including The Department Of Defense And Homeland Security.

Axonius was founded by former spies in Israel’s Unit 8200 and its software, which allows an operator ‘visibility and control over all types and number of devices,’ collects and analyses the digital data of millions of American federal employees.

The stated aim of the Axonius platform is to centralise IT tools to identity and fix security breaches. As a product of Israeli intelligence, however, the scale of Axonius’s use across the American government raises serious questions.

Axonius was founded and is currently run by Israelis Dean Sysman, Ofri Shur and Avidor Bartov, who met in the 2010s while working on the same team within Israel’s Unit 8200 spy service. On his LinkedIn profile, Sysman offers few details of their work for the IDF, describing it simply as having ‘far-reaching implications.’

Sysman left the IDF in 2014 after five years and set up a cyber hacking outfit, while Shur and Bartov stayed on until 2017, a period which encompassed Israel’s 2014 war of aggression against Gaza, during which the IDF murdered more than two thousand Palestinian civilians.

Axonius was established with curious speed. After leaving the IDF in 2017, Shur and Bartov teamed back up with Sysman and immediately received $4 million in seed funding from Yoav Leitersdorf, a San Francisco-based Israeli-American and fellow Unit 8200 veteran, to start Axonius. Leitersdorf, the managing partner at American-Israeli venture capital firm YL Ventures, is a prolific early-stage investor in Unit 8200 cyber start-ups.

The same year Sysman, Shur and Bartov also received millions in seed financing from Israeli firm Vertex Ventures which is run by veterans of Israel’s spy units. Tami Bronner, a partner at Vertex, spent four years in Israeli military intelligence.

Following this early financing from investors close to Israel’s intelligence establishment, the company went on to receive hundreds of millions in investment from a network of American venture capital firms with intelligence links to Israel.

These include Palo Alto-based Accel Partners, which has invested in more than thirty Israeli tech companies, including another Unit 8200 cyber spin-out, Oasis. Nir Blumberger, an Israeli who served in the IDF, was recruited by Accel from Facebook to open its Tel Aviv office in 2016.

Other Axonius backers include San Francisco-headquartered Bessemer Venture Partners which employs former Israeli intelligence operatives in a Tel Aviv office led by Adam Fisher. An American who emigrated to Israel in 1998, Fisher has acted as an intermediary between Zionists in Silicon Valley and the IDF, and during the genocide gave a presentation on how Israel can win the online war. Israeli Amit Karp, a partner at Bessemer Ventures and another former Israeli intelligence officer, sits on the Axonius board.

Menlo Park-based Lightspeed Venture Partners, which has backed Axonius with around $200 million over numerous funding rounds, also has significant ties to Israeli spy units. Yonit Wiseman, a partner at Lightspeed, spent six years in Israeli military intelligence, leaving in 2018. Her colleague, Tal Morgenstern, was a special forces commander in the IDF.

Given the evidence that Axonius is an Israeli intelligence cut-out, the scale of its penetration within the American federal government structure is extraordinary.

The company says its platform is ‘deployed in more than 70 federal organizations’ and is used by four of the five major Department of Defense service agencies. The American federal government contract award website shows Axonius awards for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, which in itself means millions of personnel and their devices.

In November 2024, the company was selected by the Department of Homeland Security to modernise its cybersecurity abilities by centralising ‘data coming from hundreds of separate data sources residing across dozens of federal, civilian, and executive branch agencies.’ Just a month later, in December 2024, the company was contracted by the Department of Defense to upgrade its system of 24/7 surveillance which oversees all on-site and off-site DoD computers and IT networks, a capability known as ‘continuous monitoring and risk scoring.’ And in April this year Axonius obtained authorisation for any American federal agency to use its cloud-based cyber surveillance system.

Other federal departments integrating Axonius software include energy, transportation, the Treasury and many others. Data from the American spending awards site shows the American Defence Logistics Agency, responsible for managing America’s global weapons supply chain, is the single largest Axonius customer, spending $4.3 million in 2023 alone. The Department of Agriculture has paid nearly $2 million for Axonius tools and the Department of Health and Human Services has spent $1.3 million since 2021.

Axonius is commonly described as an American company. While its headquarters and administrative functions are in New York, its founders, senior executives, and its primary financiers are all Israeli, and, critically, its software and engineering functions are based in Tel Aviv. Axonius has more than eight-hundred employees, and a search of LinkedIn profiles confirms that a majority of Axonius’s engineers in Tel Aviv have a background in Israeli military intelligence.

The pitch for the Axonius system is that it centralises data from all the security and IT tools an organisation uses into one place for easier analysis, control and fixes. And that place is Tel Aviv, where the hundreds of former Israeli spies working as engineers for Axonius have unprecedented access and visibility into the habits and movements of millions of American federal government employees.

With this visibility an Axonius operator can connect individual devices with individual IDs as well as seeing all login/logoff data and website usage. An operator can also order an account to be disabled, a device to be quarantined, or a user to be removed from a group.

In addition to this, Axonius has a separate R&D division within the company known as AxoniusX, a skunkworks unit focused on developing new cyber tools, run by another Unit 8200 spook, Amit Ofer.

Perhaps none of this matters, and Axonius is simply indicative of the sleazy, symbiotic nature of the relationship between the American regime and its colonial outpost.

This would be a fair argument if it wasn’t for Israel’s long history of espionage in the United States. From recruiting Hollywood producers who ran front companies that stole nuclear technologies, to selling bugged software to foreign governments, spying (especially cyber spying), has been central to Israel’s foreign policy. Robert Maxwell, the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, was a spy for Israel, and a significant amount of circumstantial evidence suggests Jeffrey Epstein was also an Israeli military intelligence asset. More recently, during Trump’s first term, Israel planted miniature spying devices around the White House and other American government buildings in Washington DC to monitor American officials.

American authorities, then, have allowed former spies from a country with a known history of espionage within the United States to establish a framework of cyber intelligence access across almost the entire federal government apparatus.

To put it another way, the American regime has effectively subcontracted its federal-level cyber security infrastructure to Israeli intelligence.

Whether Axonius has used, or has any intent to use its unprecedented access maliciously, is impossible to know. For anyone with knowledge of Israel’s history of spying, however, the embedding of cyber software made by former Israeli spies within the American federal computer system network should raise serious alarms.

More broadly, Axonius shows how a militarised Israeli state takes billions in American funding every year to build its digital architecture of apartheid and genocide, and then sells these capabilities back to America. American taxpayers, then, effectively pay Israel twice. And when the American regime buys back the technologies their taxpayers funded in the first place, they are inviting in trojan horse capabilities and making Israeli war criminals rich in the process.

The good news is that millions of ordinary Americans are wising up to the reality that Israel is not the great deal for America that political leaders have, for so long, sold it as.

The Axonius story confirms, once again, just how bad this deal is.

RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN EASTERN GAZA CITY WERE DESTROYED BY ISRAEL

Eyewitnesses Say The Demolition Caused Loud Explosions, Sent Thick Columns Of Smoke And Caused Shrapnel To Fall In Several Neighbourhoods.

The Israeli army has demolished homes in the east of Gaza City, in areas under its invasion and control inside the blockaded enclave.

Israeli forces detonated several residential buildings in the Shejaiya neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, causing loud explosions that echoed across wide parts of the city, an Anadolu Agency correspondent, citing eyewitnesses, reported on Saturday.

The witnesses added that thick columns of smoke were seen rising from the demolition sites, and reports indicated that shrapnel from the blasts fell in several neighbourhoods of Gaza City due to the intensity of the explosions.

In recent days, the Israeli army has intensified its ground, naval, and aerial bombardment across various parts of Gaza that fall within areas it occupies.

According to eyewitnesses and the Anadolu correspondent, the bombardment has hit eastern areas of Gaza City, the town of Beit Lahia in the north, the eastern parts of Al-Bureij refugee camp in the centre, the city of Rafah, and the towns of Al-Qarara and Bani Suhaila east of Khan Younis in the south.

Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreement it signed with Hamas, having committed around 497 violations and killed more than 342 Palestinians since October 10^th, according to the Gaza media office.

Israel has killed nearly 70,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in its carnage in besieged Gaza since October 2023.

It has reduced most of Gaza to ruins and practically displaced all of its population.

Do you need any more information to learn the actual nature of the sadistic, racist Israeli regime?

NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN HAS BEEN DREDGED UP AGAIN TO BASH TRUMP’S UKRAINE PEACE DIPLOMACY

This Is In Light Of Actual Progress Toward A Peace Proposal In The Russo-Ukrainian War, Warmongers Scrambled To Hurl Their Favorite Smear At The Trump Administration.

According to them, anything less than a total crushing victory over Russia is no different than British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany in 1938 and paves the way for further Russian aggression.

We’ve heard this accusation thrown around time after time from neocons, Democrat politicians, the propaganda press, and really anybody who is personally offended when America stays out of a foreign conflict for more than two seconds. Continuing in that vapid tradition, New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman wrote a piece titled “Trump’s Neville Chamberlain Prize.”

The piece was based on initial reports of a proposed 28-point peace plan offered by the White House. That plan would cap Ukraine’s military strength at 600,000 troops (which would still make it among the largest militaries in the world), prohibit NATO troops from being stationed in Ukraine, and give Russia all of the eastern provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, the majority of which are already under Russian control. The White House announced Sunday that talks with Ukrainian officials about the peace plan had yielded a “updated and refined peace framework” but did not give details.

Given the current state of the war, these seem like reasonable terms. Russia gains a modest amount of Russian-speaking territory — ostensibly one of its main reasons for launching the war in the first place — from Ukraine, and it receives a de facto guarantee that Ukraine won’t join NATO.

But to Friedman, this is giving in to Hitler all over again. “If you force [the peace plan] upon Ukraine as it is, every one of your names will live in infamy alongside that of Chamberlain.”

[Chamberlain] was the British prime minister who advocated the policy of appeasement, which aimed to avoid war with Adolf Hitler’s Germany by giving in to his demands. This was concretized in the 1938 Munich Agreement, in which Chamberlain, along with others in Europe, allowed Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia. Chamberlain boasted it would secure “peace for our time.” A year later, Poland was invaded, starting World War II and leading to Chamberlain’s resignation — and his everlasting shame.

In his most outlandish sentence in the whole piece, Friedman predicts doom and subjugation for all of Europe as a result of this deal: “By rewarding Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine based on his obsession with making it part of Mother Russia, the U.S. will be putting the whole European Union under Putin’s thumb. Trump’s message to our allies will be clear: Don’t provoke Putin, because as long as I am commander in chief, the United States will pay no price and we will bear no burden in the defense of your freedom.”

First off, the United States has certainly “paid the price” for Ukraine’s defense, quite literally to the tune of nearly $200 billion, including under President Trump, and our military-industrial complex has certainly carried the burden, dealing with munitions shortages that have left us vulnerable to other threats like China.

Second, if anything, this war should help Putin realize that his forces would have absolutely zero chance against the full might of NATO, decreasing the chances of future aggression. Russia has suffered more than a million casualties and lost untold billions of dollars in military equipment it can ill afford to lose. If that’s the price it had to pay for two small provinces in eastern Ukraine, the price was far too steep.

The Ukrainians have held on for nearly four years, through generous American and E.U. aid, with a population of around 35 million and a GDP of around $190 billion. NATO (which, mind you, includes the awesome military power of the United States) contains nearly a billion people in its 32 member nations, and its combined GDP is estimated to be between $50 and $60 trillion. By contrast, Russia has a population of 140 million and a GDP of $2.1 trillion.

As to the historical analogy to Chamberlain’s appeasement policy: It’s so tiresome and lazy. One could go into lengthy detail about why this analogy makes no sense and why appeasement was actually a shrewd policy by the Western Allies at the time.

Long story short for the uninitiated: The Allies engaged in appeasement to give themselves time to rearm. They knew time was on their side when it came to military production, and the longer they could delay a war, the more advantages they’d have against the Germans. Hitler and his generals were very aware of this fact, and it contributed heavily to their decision to go to war in 1939.

We could chalk this up to a lack of imagination or a lack of critical thinking skills on the part of the warmongers. But the real answer is far more cynical. They simply don’t care about presenting history accurately or correctly using historical events to connect to modern problems, and they never have. They’ll twist facts, distort context, and just flat-out lie to get what they want: more pointless, costly wars for the American regime to drain its strength in.

And, in truth, it doesn’t matter what the Ukraine peace plan ends up including. Their pathological hatred for Russia as an entity and for the man trying to broker peace means no peace deal could ever be good enough for them. Ukraine could get a million square miles of new territory and Moscow out of the peace deal, and the warmongers would still compare Trump to Chamberlain.

Most wars throughout history have ended in a negotiated settlement. Wars of annihilation are a relatively new development and always cause far more destruction. Terrible historical analogies to Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement only make peace harder to reach and show that the war hawks hold a total disregard for historical truth.
