COLLUSION & COMPLICITY First, the Gaza problem is not the same story as the Palestinian problem. The British and the French became the roots of the Gaza problem when their Suez company, that controlled the strategic Suez Canal, was nationalized in 1956 by the then-president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two countries wanted the canal back but were eager to start a war with Egypt. They had asked the Israelis for help who attacked Egypt by invading and occupying Gaza . France and Britain are also the countries who laid in 1916 the foundation of the Palestinian problem that have led to the declaration of the British Arthur Balfour in 1917. These two countries are the first to have the leverage to change this part of the entire problem which the Palestinian problem is. The role of the United States is unrelated to the history of the Gaza problem but to the Palestinian problem as a whole that began with the recognition by Harry Truman on May 14, 1948, and eleven minutes after European Zionist migrants renamed historic Palestine. The complicity became deeper after the founding of AIPAC in the 1960s. The role of Germany has its roots in the Haavara deal, that German Ashkenazis struck with the Nazis in 1933 to have themselves migrated to what was then still British Mandatory Palestine. The role of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have their roots in the so-called Abraham "peace" accord that was mastermind in 2020 by Netanyahu and Trump's son-in-law, the orthodox Jew Jared Kushner. The "agreement" was mastermind to isolate the Palestinians from the Arabic world. The role of other reported countries are related to policies in favor of the Israelis. But in Gaza, people appear not to know when they ask "Where are the Arabs?" In 1995, the European Commission and the Israelis struck an association agreement that brought the Union into the position of collusion as it includes Israeli export that has its origin in the occupied territories. Since July 2024, some EU member states are calling for a review. On December 17, 2014, the General Court of the European Union had annulled on grounds of on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet, the listing of Hamas as a terrorist organization. On January 24, 2024, the EU listed Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar on its terrorist list over the event on October 7th. Putting Sinwar on EU's terrorist list is a violation as he is a member of a recognized resistance, and was October 7th not a terrorist attack, both because of these international laws:
In addition, Netanyahu's declaration of war on Gaza from October 7, 2023 is both ill-conceived and a blatant violation of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ill-conceived because an occupying war belligerent cannot declare war on a part of a country while that country is currently gradually under annexation. Then, Art. 51 is in international context, meaning the article concerns countries. Gaza is not a country but part of a gradually annexed country. Israelis have never lifted their self-declared war since 1967 with the remaining parties the Palestinians and Syria. How to declare war when one is already at war in all times (ref. Mark Regev in Jan. 2009). |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

ELIMINATION OF NGOs (= part of Israel's dystopian war) |

ELIMINATION OF UNWRA (= part of Israel's dystopian war) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was established as a autonome organ of the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 1949 and became operational on 1 May 1950. It was established to provide relief to all refugees resulting from the 1948 conflict; this initially included Jewish and Arab Palestine refugees inside the State of Israel until the Israeli government took over this responsibility in 1952. The mandate of the UN body makes it unique that it can register Palestinians as refugee throughout generations, including of those who were not registered in the early 1950s. This is the real obstacle to the process of the Israeli Zionization of the remaining parts of historic Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. On January 11, 2024, the Advocate General Emiliou of the Court Of Justice of the European Union said that Palestinian applicants for refugee status can claim that UNRWA’s protection has ‘ceased’ in the light of the general living conditions prevailing in the Gaza Strip. UNWRA has NOT ceased but has been under Israeli siege to achieve their goal to eliminate its operations in Gaza in order to strip Palestinians from their refugee status. The Israelis use phrases like "Hamas was embedded" or the targeted object was used by Hamas. We added reported developments about Biden's pier to this timeline as the story behind is political. Developments reveal that politics of by-passing UNWRA is the motive of the pier. It started in November 2023 when the Israelis sought contact with Cyprus that resulted in the misleading claim that Nicosia offered the Israelis a humanitarian corridor. It is considered misleading when looking at developments timelined in 'medical treatment', 'humanitarian aid', 'humanitarian crisis, and 'food, water, fuel & electricity'. |

OPINION |

DATE | DEVELOPMENT | CONTEXT | DESCRIPTION |
20241004 | Can UN Resolution 1701 help end the Hezbollah-Israel fight? | opinion | Many politicians and diplomats have said that the only solution to the current conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, that can bring peace and security to both Israel and Lebanon, must be political. Part of any such solution could well involve a resolution agreed to by the United Nations' Security Council just over 18 years ago, they say. |
20241004 | Iran-Israel: Will Turkey get involved? | opinion | Turkey supports the Palestinians and criticizes Israel while still observing distant relations with Iran. Turkish military involvement in the growing regional conflict is therefore unlikely, experts say. |
20241004 | Khamenei's Friday sermon could shed light on Iran's plans after Israel attack | opinion | Discussion about the significance of Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s rare Friday sermon, his first since his country's missile attack on Israel, and also the first since Israel launched its wave of strikes on Hezbollah strongholds. |
20241003 | For Israel’s weary army, war in Lebanon is an attempt to salvage its image | opinion | Dystopian displays of technological prowess serve to distract the Israeli public from the military's failure to achieve its long-stated war aims. |
20241003 | US military action in the Middle East is not making Israel safer | opinion | Lasting security for Israel and the entire region requires an equitable peace with the Palestinians, which the US is not willing to broker. |
20241002 | Iranian missile strike on Israel shows capability for greater scale, complexity | opinion | Analysis -- The Iranian ballistic missile attack against Israel on Tuesday was larger, more complex and involved more advanced weapons than the strikes in April, experts say, putting greater stress on missile defences and allowing more warheads to get through. |
20241002 | Israel able to repel Iranian attack without need for major help from allies | opinion | Most of the defensive effort appears to have been undertaken by Israeli air defence systems |
Comment: found videos showing Iranian missiles hitting the Negev desert airbase show that no air defense system was active. | |||
20241001 | Israel, Lebanon telling ‘their versions’ of truth about ground offensive. | opinion | Analysis -- Ori Goldberg, an Israeli political commentator and lecturer at Reichman University, says he doesn’t believe that Israel is lying about sending ground troops into Lebanon despite Hezbollah’s denial. “It’s a grey area,” he told Al Jazeera from Tel Aviv. “This isn’t an invasion force. This isn’t an expeditionary force. There are no tanks. There are no infantry troops. These are mostly commando units.” Golberg said that it is likely that Israeli forces are likely focusing on known Hezbollah installations or similar targets. “So in that sense, if Hezbollah was expecting an invasion, then Hezbollah's statements are correct. Israel, however, has been exactly saying that this is what the force is,” he said. “So both sides are telling their version of the truth.” |
20241001 | Israeli strikes on civilians violate international law and Lebanese sovereignty. | opinion | Analysis -- Paul Morcos is a Professor of International Law at Strasbourg University, and President of JUSTICA legal Foundation. He emphasized that Israeli strikes on civilians in Lebanon breach international law, violating the Geneva Conventions. He highlighted that these attacks fail to distinguish between military targets and civilians, and that forced evacuations and the use of US weapons raise further legal concerns. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives.

COLLUSION & COMPLICITY First, the Gaza problem is not the same story as the Palestinian problem. The British and the French became the roots of the Gaza problem when their Suez company, that controlled the strategic Suez Canal, was nationalized in 1956 by the then-president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two countries wanted the canal back but were eager to start a war with Egypt. They had asked the Israelis for help who attacked Egypt by invading and occupying Gaza . France and Britain are also the countries who laid in 1916 the foundation of the Palestinian problem that have led to the declaration of the British Arthur Balfour in 1917. These two countries are the first to have the leverage to change this part of the entire problem which the Palestinian problem is. The role of the United States is unrelated to the history of the Gaza problem but to the Palestinian problem as a whole that began with the recognition by Harry Truman on May 14, 1948, and eleven minutes after European Zionist migrants renamed historic Palestine. The complicity became deeper after the founding of AIPAC in the 1960s. The role of Germany has its roots in the Haavara deal, that German Ashkenazis struck with the Nazis in 1933 to have themselves migrated to what was then still British Mandatory Palestine. The role of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have their roots in the so-called Abraham "peace" accord that was mastermind in 2020 by Netanyahu and Trump's son-in-law, the orthodox Jew Jared Kushner. The "agreement" was mastermind to isolate the Palestinians from the Arabic world. The role of other reported countries are related to policies in favor of the Israelis. But in Gaza, people appear not to know when they ask "Where are the Arabs?" In 1995, the European Commission and the Israelis struck an association agreement that brought the Union into the position of collusion as it includes Israeli export that has its origin in the occupied territories. Since July 2024, some EU member states are calling for a review. On December 17, 2014, the General Court of the European Union had annulled on grounds of on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet, the listing of Hamas as a terrorist organization. On January 24, 2024, the EU listed Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar on its terrorist list over the event on October 7th. Putting Sinwar on EU's terrorist list is a violation as he is a member of a recognized resistance, and was October 7th not a terrorist attack, both because of these international laws:
In addition, Netanyahu's declaration of war on Gaza from October 7, 2023 is both ill-conceived and a blatant violation of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ill-conceived because an occupying war belligerent cannot declare war on a part of a country while that country is currently gradually under annexation. Then, Art. 51 is in international context, meaning the article concerns countries. Gaza is not a country but part of a gradually annexed country. Israelis have never lifted their self-declared war since 1967 with the remaining parties the Palestinians and Syria. How to declare war when one is already at war in all times (ref. Mark Regev in Jan. 2009). |

DYSTOPIAN WAR |
|||||||||
|
Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian crisis as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian crisis communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

ELIMINATING NGOs (= part of Israel's dystopian war) |

DATE | DEVELOPMENT | CONTEXT | DESCRIPTION |
ELIMINATING UNWRA (= part of Israel's dystopian war) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was established as a autonome organ of the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 1949 and became operational on 1 May 1950. It was established to provide relief to all refugees resulting from the 1948 conflict; this initially included Jewish and Arab Palestine refugees inside the State of Israel until the Israeli government took over this responsibility in 1952. The mandate of the UN body makes it unique that it can register Palestinians as refugee throughout generations, including of those who were not registered in the early 1950s. This is the real obstacle to the process of the Israeli Zionization of the remaining parts of historic Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. On January 11, 2024, the Advocate General Emiliou of the Court Of Justice of the European Union said that Palestinian applicants for refugee status can claim that UNRWA’s protection has ‘ceased’ in the light of the general living conditions prevailing in the Gaza Strip. UNWRA has NOT ceased but has been under Israeli siege to achieve their goal to eliminate its operations in Gaza in order to strip Palestinians from their refugee status. The Israelis use phrases like "Hamas was embedded" or the targeted object was used by Hamas. Biden's pier There is reasonable ground to believe that Biden's pier was not meant for humanitarian crisis purpose. In November 2023, there was a first contact between the Israelis and Cyprus. Nikosia claimed that it offered the Israelis a humanitarian crisis corridor between Larnaca and Gaza. Reports do exist which reads that a Israeli unit was flown to Cyprus. Some of these reports are claiming that they landed on the British air force base. We are looking for these reports to add them to the month of reporting. Tel Aviv denies these reports. Then,, trucks with Israeli license plate leaving the pier where seen on collected videos and photos that prompts us to link Biden's pier to the covert operation 'Arnon' carried out in Nuseirat refugee camps on June 8, 2024.to free four captured settlers. During that operation, the Israelis used a unmarked white truck and disguised themselves as human aid workers, which is committing perfidy. The US had claimed that the pier will be removed permanently because of weather. Meteorologists are able to forecast weather days and even a week ahead. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian crisis as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian crisis communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian crisis as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian crisis communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian crisis as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian crisis communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

(Israeli) Infowar 2024 |

Israeli infowars are similar to Russia's infowars as both are using troll farms. However, those of the Israelis are army units. It's actually like China The IOF Spokesperson's Unit (Hebrew: דובר צה"ל, Dover Tzahal, abbr. Dotz) is a unit in the IOF Operations Directorate, responsible for information policy and media relations. The unit is led by the IOF spokesperson, a brigadier general and member of the General Staff, and by a deputy spokesperson, a colonel. Since August 2024 the spokesperson is Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari. The unit is also a key player in the public diplomacy efforts (hasbara) of the Israelis The 2015 IDF military doctrine highlights the strategic importance of using the power of the media; economic, legal, media, and political aspects are considered as part of the military approach as much as military combat. It is this unit that refuses journalists to report from Gaza as allowing would undermine the practice of hasbara. |
What is hasbara? The most known explanation is the following: "You may lie if it is to defend yourself" "If you are accused, blame the victim." |

DATE | DEVELOPMENT | CONTEXT | DESCRIPTION |
COLLUSION & COMPLICITY First, the Gaza problem is not the same story as the Palestinian problem. The British and the French became the roots of the Gaza problem when their Suez company, that controlled the strategic Suez Canal, was nationalized in 1956 by the then-president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two countries wanted the canal back but were eager to start a war with Egypt. They had asked the Israelis for help who attacked Egypt by invading and occupying Gaza . France and Britain are also the countries who laid in 1916 the foundation of the Palestinian problem that have led to the declaration of the British Arthur Balfour in 1917. These two countries are the first to have the leverage to change this part of the entire problem which the Palestinian problem is. The role of the United States is unrelated to the history of the Gaza problem but to the Palestinian problem as a whole that began with the recognition by Harry Truman on May 14, 1948, and eleven minutes after European Zionist migrants renamed historic Palestine. The complicity became deeper after the founding of AIPAC in the 1960s. The role of Germany has its roots in the Haavara deal, that German Ashkenazis struck with the Nazis in 1933 to have themselves migrated to what was then still British Mandatory Palestine. The role of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have their roots in the so-called Abraham "peace" accord that was mastermind in 2020 by Netanyahu and Trump's son-in-law, the orthodox Jew Jared Kushner. The "agreement" was mastermind to isolate the Palestinians from the Arabic world. The role of other reported countries are related to policies in favor of the Israelis. But in Gaza, people appear not to know when they ask "Where are the Arabs?" In 1995, the European Commission and the Israelis struck an association agreement that brought the Union into the position of collusion as it includes Israeli export that has its origin in the occupied territories. Since July 2024, some EU member states are calling for a review. On December 17, 2014, the General Court of the European Union had annulled on grounds of on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet, the listing of Hamas as a terrorist organization. On January 24, 2024, the EU listed Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar on its terrorist list over the event on October 7th. Putting Sinwar on EU's terrorist list is a violation as he is a member of a recognized resistance, and was October 7th not a terrorist attack, both because of these international laws:
In addition, Netanyahu's declaration of war on Gaza from October 7, 2023 is both ill-conceived and a blatant violation of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ill-conceived because an occupying war belligerent cannot declare war on a part of a country while that country is currently gradually under annexation. Then, Art. 51 is in international context, meaning the article concerns countries. Gaza is not a country but part of a gradually annexed country. Israelis have never lifted their self-declared war since 1967 with the remaining parties the Palestinians and Syria. How to declare war when one is already at war in all times (ref. Mark Regev in Jan. 2009). |

DYSTOPIAN WAR |
|||||||||
|
Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

20240926 | Can Israel afford another war in Lebanon? | economy / Israeli | analysis -- Israel’s war on Gaza has ground its vital economic sectors to a halt. Almost a year into the war on Gaza, Israel’s economy is facing its deepest decline in years. Military spending is ballooning, borrowing is rocketing and revenues are drying up. International trust in its economy is waning. Thousands of highly educated and skilled workers are leaving Israel, while attracting new talent to a country at war is challenging.

ELIMINATING NGOs (= part of Israel's dystopian war) |

DATE | DEVELOPMENT | CONTEXT | DESCRIPTION |
ELIMINATING UNWRA (= part of Israel's dystopian war) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was established as a autonome organ of the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 1949 and became operational on 1 May 1950. It was established to provide relief to all refugees resulting from the 1948 conflict; this initially included Jewish and Arab Palestine refugees inside the State of Israel until the Israeli government took over this responsibility in 1952. The mandate of the UN body makes it unique that it can register Palestinians as refugee throughout generations, including of those who were not registered in the early 1950s. This is the real obstacle to the process of the Israeli Zionization of the remaining parts of historic Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. On January 11, 2024, the Advocate General Emiliou of the Court Of Justice of the European Union said that Palestinian applicants for refugee status can claim that UNRWA’s protection has ‘ceased’ in the light of the general living conditions prevailing in the Gaza Strip. UNWRA has NOT ceased but has been under Israeli siege to achieve their goal to eliminate its operations in Gaza in order to strip Palestinians from their refugee status. The Israelis use phrases like "Hamas was embedded" or the targeted object was used by Hamas. Biden's pier There is reasonable ground to believe that Biden's pier was not meant for humanitarian purpose. In November 2023, there was a first contact between the Israelis and Cyprus. Nikosia claimed that it offered the Israelis a humanitarian corridor between Larnaca and Gaza. Reports do exist which reads that a Israeli unit was flown to Cyprus. Some of these reports are claiming that they landed on the British air force base. We are looking for these reports to add them to the month of reporting. Tel Aviv denies these reports. Then,, trucks with Israeli license plate leaving the pier where seen on collected videos and photos that prompts us to link Biden's pier to the covert operation 'Arnon' carried out in Nuseirat refugee camps on June 8, 2024.to free four captured settlers. During that operation, the Israelis used a unmarked white truck and disguised themselves as human aid workers, which is committing perfidy. The US had claimed that the pier will be removed permanently because of weather. Meteorologists are able to forecast weather days and even a week ahead.

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

20240918 | Why Hasn't Israel Assassinated Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza? | resistance | Analysis -- The Shin Bet security service has set up two special assassination-planning teams, one just for Sinwar.

Comment: The majority of the Israeli attacks since 2013 are carried out in Lebanon's airspace. Israelis are to be accused of using the country as a human shield while violating the international law on sovereignty and independence. The real background of these attacks is that Syria was already attacked by the Israelis, namely in 1981 and in 2008 over two nuclear plants. One of them was later found a textile factory. It should be noted that the Israelis never signed peace with Syria. | |||

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

COLLUSION & COMPLICITY First, the Gaza problem is not the same story as the Palestinian problem. The British and the French became the roots of the Gaza problem when their Suez company, that controlled the strategic Suez Canal, was nationalized in 1956 by the then-president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two countries wanted the canal back but were eager to start a war with Egypt. They had asked the Israelis for help who attacked Egypt by invading and occupying Gaza . France and Britain are also the countries who laid in 1916 the foundation of the Palestinian problem that have led to the declaration of the British Arthur Balfour in 1917. These two countries are the first to have the leverage to change this part of the entire problem which the Palestinian problem is. The role of the United States is unrelated to the history of the Gaza problem but to the Palestinian problem as a whole that began with the recognition by Harry Truman on May 14, 1948, and eleven minutes after European Zionist migrants renamed historic Palestine. The complicity became deeper after the founding of AIPAC in the 1960s. The role of Germany has its roots in the Haavara deal, that German Ashkenazis struck with the Nazis in 1933 to have themselves migrated to what was then still British Mandatory Palestine. The role of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have their roots in the so-called Abraham "peace" accord that was mastermind in 2020 by Netanyahu and Trump's son-in-law, the orthodox Jew Jared Kushner. The "agreement" was mastermind to isolate the Palestinians from the Arabic world. The role of other reported countries are related to policies in favor of the Israelis. But in Gaza, people appear not to know when they ask "Where are the Arabs?" In 1995, the European Commission and the Israelis struck an association agreement that brought the Union into the position of collusion as it includes Israeli export that has its origin in the occupied territories. Since July 2024, some EU member states are calling for a review. On December 17, 2014, the General Court of the European Union had annulled on grounds of on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet, the listing of Hamas as a terrorist organization. On January 24, 2024, the EU listed Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar on its terrorist list over the event on October 7th. Putting Sinwar on EU's terrorist list is a violation as he is a member of a recognized resistance, and was October 7th not a terrorist attack, both because of these international laws:
In addition, Netanyahu's declaration of war on Gaza from October 7, 2023 is both ill-conceived and a blatant violation of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ill-conceived because an occupying war belligerent cannot declare war on a part of a country while that country is currently gradually under annexation. Then, Art. 51 is in international context, meaning the article concerns countries. Gaza is not a country but part of a gradually annexed country. Israelis have never lifted their self-declared war since 1967 with the remaining parties the Palestinians and Syria. How to declare war when one is already at war in all times (ref. Mark Regev in Jan. 2009). |

DYSTOPIAN WAR |
|||||||||
|
Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

ELIMINATION OF UNWRA (= part of Israel's dystopian war) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was established as a autonome organ of the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 1949 and became operational on 1 May 1950. It was established to provide relief to all refugees resulting from the 1948 conflict; this initially included Jewish and Arab Palestine refugees inside the State of Israel until the Israeli government took over this responsibility in 1952. The mandate of the UN body makes it unique that it can register Palestinians as refugee throughout generations, including of those who were not registered in the early 1950s. This is the real obstacle to the process of the Israeli Zionization of the remaining parts of historic Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. On January 11, 2024, the Advocate General Emiliou of the Court Of Justice of the European Union said that Palestinian applicants for refugee status can claim that UNRWA’s protection has ‘ceased’ in the light of the general living conditions prevailing in the Gaza Strip. UNWRA has NOT ceased but has been under Israeli siege to achieve their goal to eliminate its operations in Gaza in order to strip Palestinians from their refugee status. The Israelis use phrases like "Hamas was embedded" or the targeted object was used by Hamas. We added reported developments about Biden's pier to this timeline as the story behind is political. Developments reveal that politics of by-passing UNWRA is the motive of the pier. It started in November 2023 when the Israelis sought contact with Cyprus that resulted in the misleading claim that Nicosia offered the Israelis a humanitarian corridor. It is considered misleading when looking at developments timelined in 'medical treatment', 'humanitarian aid', 'humanitarian crisis, and 'food, water, fuel & electricity'. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

Comment: this report is not true as it silences the ban list that the Israeli army unit COGAT uses to search for items it views as "double use". Drivers are ordered to unload these items from their truck on the Israeli side of the Karam Abu Salem crossing. Collected videos and photos are showing the pile up is on the Israeli side, not Gaza. | |||
20240715 | 13 leading INGOs disclose details of aid obstruction impeding their humanitarian operations | humanitarian aid | NGOs report that the entry of aid into Gaza has severely deteriorated since the Israeli major ground incursion into Rafah early May.

Comment: German video report is misleading. Arwa Damon is NOT working for the UN. As a former war journalist for CNN, she runs a humanitarian organization based in Turkey. The corridor from Lanarca, Cyprus was a Israeli masterminded by-pass politics from November 2023 to establish a corridor from Cyprus to Gaza as part of attempts to eliminate UNWRA's humanitarian activities in Gaza.. | |||

The strike also killed three staffers from other aid groups using the warehouse, the Al-Khair Foundation said in a statement. |
20240710 | Israel cites aid backlog in Gaza; UN says: 'We're doing what we can' | humanitarian aid | A backlog of 1,150 truckloads of humanitarian aid is waiting to be collected from the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing in the southern Gaza Strip, Israel said on Wednesday, prompting the United Nations to say: "We're doing what we can." |
Comment: It is NOT about a backlog. It is about having ordered drivers to unload their trucks from items that the Israeli army unit COGAT had banned from entering Gaza as they were listed as 'dual use'. The backlog refers to items that has been removed from the ban list, which changes on the regular basis. In many cases, drivers had to unload their entire cargo from the trucks. This explains why you see pile ups on the war belligerent's side of the Karam Abu Salem crossing. It is a attempt to bring UNWRA in discredit, and is part of the Israeli campaign to have the UN body out of Gaza to strip Palestinians from their internationally recognized refugee status.
The finding is based on monitoring what COGAT was posting on its X-account to compare these content with news reports about shortages of food, drinking water, medicines and other humanitarian aid. |

Comment: Call by Amnesty International fails to be neutral as it does not include a call addressing more than 9.000 occupied people held captive in Israeli prisons and torture camps. | |||
20240712 | Hamas believes it has won. Why it now wants to unburden itself of Gaza. | opinion | misinformation -- As talks with Israel, mediated by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar, continue toward a deal on a cease-fire and release of hostages, the militant Islamist movement is eyeing its postwar plans. |

20240711 | Why food is piling up on the edge of Gaza | opinion | subscription article -- Judging by the amount of aid that has arrived at the Egyptian side of the border with Gaza, the embattled Palestinians should be well catered for.

20240710 | A critical analysis of The Lancet’s letter “Counting the Dead in Gaza: Difficult but Essential”. Professor Mike Spagat reviews the claim the total Gaza death toll may reach upwards of 186,000 | opinion | "The authors claim to be “conservative” in applying a ratio of four indirect (non-violent) deaths for each direct death to the official MoH figure of 37,396 deaths. This ratio is plucked from table 2.3 in the Global Burden of Armed Violence report that lists ratios of indirect to direct deaths ranging from 0 to 15.7 for thirteen wars. However, these figures come from a small, non-representative sample of conflicts, many of which differ significantly from Gaza in terms of geography, accessibility, and humanitarian conditions. For instance, Kosovo is included with a ratio of zero, highlighting the variability and context-specific nature of such estimates." Prof. Mike Spagat |

However, it was originally an idea masterminded by Netanyahu and Jared Kushner to isolate the Palestinians from the Arab world.

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

COLLUSION & COMPLICITY First, the Gaza problem is not the same story as the Palestinian problem. The British and the French became the roots of the Gaza problem when their Suez company, that controlled the strategic Suez Canal, was nationalized in 1956 by the then-president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two countries wanted the canal back but were eager to start a war with Egypt. They had asked the Israelis for help who attacked Egypt by invading and occupying Gaza . France and Britain are also the countries who laid in 1916 the foundation of the Palestinian problem that have led to the declaration of the British Arthur Balfour in 1917. These two countries are the first to have the leverage to change this part of the entire problem which the Palestinian problem is. The role of the United States is unrelated to the history of the Gaza problem but to the Palestinian problem as a whole that began with the recognition by Harry Truman on May 14, 1948, and eleven minutes after European Zionist migrants renamed historic Palestine. The complicity became deeper after the founding of AIPAC in the 1960s. The role of Germany has its roots in the Haavara deal, that German Ashkenazis struck with the Nazis in 1933 to have themselves migrated to what was then still British Mandatory Palestine. The role of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have their roots in the so-called Abraham "peace" accord that was mastermind in 2020 by Netanyahu and Trump's son-in-law, the orthodox Jew Jared Kushner. The "agreement" was mastermind to isolate the Palestinians from the Arabic world. The role of other reported countries are related to policies in favor of the Israelis. But in Gaza, people appear not to know when they ask "Where are the Arabs?" In 1995, the European Commission and the Israelis struck an association agreement that brought the Union into the position of collusion as it includes Israeli export that has its origin in the occupied territories. Since July 2024, some EU member states are calling for a review. On December 17, 2014, the General Court of the European Union had annulled on grounds of on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet, the listing of Hamas as a terrorist organization. On January 24, 2024, the EU listed Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar on its terrorist list over the event on October 7th. Putting Sinwar on EU's terrorist list is a violation as he is a member of a recognized resistance, and was October 7th not a terrorist attack, both because of these international laws:
In addition, Netanyahu's declaration of war on Gaza from October 7, 2023 is both ill-conceived and a blatant violation of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ill-conceived because an occupying war belligerent cannot declare war on a part of a country while that country is currently gradually under annexation. Then, Art. 51 is in international context, meaning the article concerns countries. Gaza is not a country but part of a gradually annexed country. Israelis have never lifted their self-declared war since 1967 with the remaining parties the Palestinians and Syria. How to declare war when one is already at war in all times (ref. Mark Regev in Jan. 2009). |

DYSTOPIAN WAR |
|||||||||
|
Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

ELIMINATION OF UNWRA (= part of Israel's dystopian war) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was established as a autonome organ of the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 1949 and became operational on 1 May 1950. It was established to provide relief to all refugees resulting from the 1948 conflict; this initially included Jewish and Arab Palestine refugees inside the State of Israel until the Israeli government took over this responsibility in 1952. The mandate of the UN body makes it unique that it can register Palestinians as refugee throughout generations, including of those who were not registered in the early 1950s. This is the real obstacle to the process of the Israeli Zionization of the remaining parts of historic Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. On January 11, 2024, the Advocate General Emiliou of the Court Of Justice of the European Union said that Palestinian applicants for refugee status can claim that UNRWA’s protection has ‘ceased’ in the light of the general living conditions prevailing in the Gaza Strip. UNWRA has NOT ceased but has been under Israeli siege to achieve their goal to eliminate its operations in Gaza in order to strip Palestinians from their refugee status. The Israelis use phrases like "Hamas was embedded" or the targeted object was used by Hamas. We added reported developments about Biden's pier to this timeline as the story behind is political. Developments reveal that politics of by-passing UNWRA is the motive of the pier. It started in November 2023 when the Israelis sought contact with Cyprus that resulted in the misleading claim that Nicosia offered the Israelis a humanitarian corridor. It is considered misleading when looking at developments timelined in 'health care & medical infrastructure', 'humanitarian aid', 'humanitarian crisis, and 'food, water, fuel & electricity'. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives.

GENOCIDE |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

20240823 | The real schism in the Israel–Hamas ceasefire talks is about who decides Gaza’s future | opinion | The United States, Egypt, and Qatar are making a ‘last gasp’ diplomatic push to secure a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Mediators say that the latest truce offer, which they hope to finalize in Cairo this week, ‘bridges’ several contentious details that had thwarted previous talks. |

He emphasizes the critical understanding that both Israel and Hamas must realize: they cannot achieve through diplomacy what they failed to achieve in war. In other words, Israel will not retrieve its captives without concessions, and Hamas will not see Gaza free of Israeli soldiers without making sacrifices. Bishara suggests that anyone who believes otherwise is delusional, as both war and diplomacy are ultimately decided by power.

These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc. Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human. |
