Journalist Jeremy Loffredo goes inside the grassroots Israeli campaign to block desperately needed aid to the besieged Gaza Strip and elicits the shockingly candid views of the Jewish Israeli nationalists manning the barricades.

Setting out on a bus caravan through illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, Loffredo arrives at the Kerem Shalom crossing to Gaza, filming Israeli citizens as they physically block trucks loaded with flour and other essential goods. There, a reservist who served in the military assault on Gaza confesses to an array of war crimes, including blowing up the offices of UN centers dedicated to providing food to the local population.

Loffredo then joins nationalists on a march toward Gaza, where they hope to establish new settlements after the population is violently driven out.

This is an update from Glenn Greenwald on the ruthless war on Gaza by the Israeli government.  Israel is utterly destroying and starving the Gaza population and deliberately making it entirely uninhabitable.

Why does the United States give total support to Israel?

In answer, there is a common myth shared by both champions and radical critics of the Zionist state which needs to be dispelled.

The myth is that Israel is a major U.S. strategic asset, described as a sort of unsinkable American aircraft carrier vital to Washington’s interests in the Middle East.

The line of argument of those who share this myth is to show that the United States has economic and strategic interests in the oil-rich Middle East (which nobody denies) and to quote American (and, of course, Israeli) political figures who claim that Israel is the best or even the sole U.S. ally in the region.

For example, U.S. President Joe Biden has gone so far as to say that if Israel didn’t exist the U.S. should have invented it.

Gilad Atzmon is an Israeli-born British writer and musician. Through his talks and texts he questions Jewish identity politics under Zionism. This is a report on his book presentation called "The Wandering Who?" in London during the 2014 Gaza massacre. Gilad's book presentation is followed by challenging discussion with Zanan TV feminist filmmaker Maryam Violet and the audience questioning the notion of activism under various identities, foreign funding and state media.

Anti-Zionist organizer and former IDF soldier from Tel Aviv Meital Yaniv, who joined hundreds of Jewish activists and their allies to shut down the California state Capitol in Sacramento Wednesday to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and condemn the roughly $600 million in California taxes that is used annually for U.S. military aid to Israel. Yaniv recalls how they were raised "extremely Zionistic," their experience in the Israeli Air Force and eventual turn to fight for Palestinian rights. "What Israel is doing right now has nothing to do with antisemitism. What Israel is doing right now is a genocide. What Israel has been doing for the past 75 years is apartheid, is occupation," Yaniv says. "There is no need for any one of us to serve in the IDF. The IDF should not exist. The state of Israel should not exist."
 

When solidarity protests erupted across the country in May, a Palestinian resident in the city of Lydd (or Lod, as Israel renamed it) told AJ+ that local Jewish Israelis marked their homes with red paint so they could be targeted for attacks by armed settlers. This is part of a much larger project happening in Lydd, where ultranationalist Jewish Israelis have been moving into the city for over a decade with resources and support from the state. The group is called the Garin Torani, or “Torah Seeds,” and its goal is to create a Jewish majority in Arab-majority neighborhoods. Residents we spoke with say that while the city has welcomed these Jewish settlers, it has also ignored the basic needs of Palestinian citizens. In the aftermath of recent violence that left two people dead, one Jewish and the other Palestinian, new levels of mistrust and generational trauma are haunting these residents. AJ+ went to Lydd to find out how Palestinians with Israeli citizenship are challenging the country’s de facto policy of divide and rule while demanding freedom from colonial oppression.

Time for eyes to be opened!

Russell Brand interviews political scientist and author, Norman Finkelstein.  Most don't seem to have any idea about what has "really" been going with the 50-75 year Israeli/Palestinian conflict primarily because of the immense control Israel has had and continues to have over the narrative.  If you really want to know the TRUTH please listen to this entire interview.  Norman Finkelstein presents a meticulously detailed and verifiable account of what's been going on.  Regardless of what version of the narrative you wish to believe, I think your eyes may be opened hearing this account of unvarnished facts.

Norman will be talking about "the facts" about what has been going on in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict since its inception, not just about the latest and what looks like the final chapter.  Norman will expose the TRUTH about how Israel has turned Gaza into an open-air prison and used tactics like periodic and ruthless military assaults Israel calls "mowing the lawn" to reduce Gaza to an uninhabitable wasteland with things like Operation Protective Edges, and Operation Cast Lead. He also talks about the so-called ceasefires in Gaza and addresses the arguments posed by his critics.

This video presents the History of Israel-Palestine conflict that rooted a few thousand years ago.

This is SGT's second interview with Rebekah Roth, former flight attendant turned researcher, truth teller and author. In this interview Rebekah discusses new evidence that speaks directly to the Israeli art students and their premeditation and intent to murder the occupants in the world trade centers.

Charlie Kirk points out the obvious fact that most all of the "official narrative" coming out of Israel about what is really going on is "extremely hard to believe" simply because the entire country of Israel is surveilled, the Gaza border is extremely secure.  He also points out the fact that for the last nine months Israel was on the brink of civil war because of Benjamin Netanyahu was essentially attempting to redefine the Israeli Constitution.
