ISRAEL (IINO)
SCREAMS BEFORE SILENCE Full Video [57:00] A documentary film on the sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7th, Screams Before Silence is a documentary film led by American businesswoman Sheryl Sandberg, that explores the sexual violence by Hamas during the Hamas-led attack on Israel, on 7 October 2023, including events at the massacre at the Nova Festival and abductions to the Gaza Strip.
(July 11, 2024 / Washington Free Beacon) Iran is quietly accelerating its nuclear program “to a point where the regime can now produce enough weapons-grade uranium for multiple nuclear weapons within days,” according to a broad coalition of think tanks and advocacy groups. America’s next president, those groups say, must quickly “develop credible military options for preventing Iranian acquisition of a nuclear bomb.”
With the world focused on Israel’s war against Hamas and the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election, Tehran has steadily increased its nuclear enrichment activity, increasing the likelihood of a direct confrontation in the coming years. American policymakers and the winner of this year’s election will soon be faced with a potentially globe altering decision point, the organizations warn in a new policy brief.
Iran has “taken advantage of a distracted world to double down on its nuclear program, moving closer than ever to potential weaponization,” wrote the Vandenberg Coalition and Foundation for Defense of Democracies, two leading think tanks comprised of foreign policy experts and former government officials, in a policy briefing released Thursday. “These threats require a comprehensive response from U.S. policymakers.”
The “joint call to action” is backed by nine other think tanks and foreign policy groups, including Veterans on Duty, United Against a Nuclear Iran, Christians United for Israel, the National Union for Democracy in Iran, Advancing American Freedom, the Republican Jewish Coalition, and the Zionist Organization of America. It signals growing concern among a broad section of the U.S. foreign policy community about America’s hesitance to confront Iran as the Islamic Republic pushes toward a nuclear bomb and foments terrorism across the Middle East.
“Iran’s advancing nuclear program, coupled with the full spectrum of its destabilizing activities, underscore the urgent need for a cohesive and comprehensive strategy in response to counter these threats,” the groups write. “We can be distracted no longer.”
[Ed.: Suddenly ZOA is waking up? Don’t worry about it! Everything’s just hunky-dory. They’ve been saying that for years (while doing everything possible to make it happen. ) If Iran really wanted nuclear bombs (which they do,) they would have had them long ago (which they did,) from N. Korea, Pakistan, and China. They’re just pulling our leg. Here: pull my thumb!]
G7 condemns Israeli creation of new West Bank settlements By TOVAH LAZAROFF
“Israel’s settlement program is inconsistent with international law and counterproductive to the cause of peace,” said the foreign ministers from the seven countries.
JULY 11, 2024 22:41 – The G7 condemned Israel’s West Bank settlement activity these last two months in a statement it issued on the sidelines of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Summit in Washington.
“Israel’s settlement program is inconsistent with international law and counterproductive to the cause of peace,” the foreign ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States said in their statement. The United Nations and the European Union also signed the declaration.
Among the steps it opposed was Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s decision in June to transform five West Bank outposts into five new settlements.
At the time, Smotrich said he created one new settlement for each of the five European countries that unilaterally recognized Palestinian statehood in the last months. He was also blunt about his intention to thwart the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, which he refers to as Judea and Samaria.
The G7 also highlighted the Civil Administration’s decision to reclassify 12,700 dunams of land as state property. It also took issue with the Civil Administration’s advancement of plans for 5,295 new settler homes.
[Ed.: Everyone has something to say about what Israel should and shouldn’t do! But, they SHOULDN’T open their stupid antisemitic mouths, and they SHOULD go to hell.]
Biden: Arab forces would keep peace in Gaza, not the IDF By TOVAH LAZAROFF
President Biden outlined a peace plan involving Arab forces in Gaza to replace Israeli presence, stressing humanitarian aid and criticizing heavy weaponry use.
JULY 12, 2024 10:14 – US President Joe Biden appeared to indicate that the IDF would have to withdraw from Gaza as part of a peace plan, which he told reporters on Thursday night would initially place Arab forces – including the Saudis – in the enclave.
“We get the Arab nations to – particularly from Egypt all the way to Saudi Arabia – to be in a position where they would cooperate in the transition so that they could keep the peace in Gaza, … without Israeli forces staying in Gaza,” Biden said.
He spoke during a press conference marking the end of the three-day North Atlantic Treaty Organization Summit in Washington.
“The question has been from the beginning, what’s the day after in Gaza? And the day after in Gaza … has to be no occupation by Israel and the Gaza Strip,” as well as the rapid entry of humanitarian aid, Biden explained.

IDF Gen. Hiram cleared of charge of blowing up hostages along with Hamas on Oct. 7 By YONAH JEREMY BOB
The IDF concluded that the hostage situation occurring was unprecedented and that, under the unique circumstances, none of the officials involved, including Hiram, had made errors.
JULY 11, 2024 20:27 – The IDF probe of the battle of Be’eri on October 7 has cleared Brig.-Gen. Barak Hiram, commander of the 99th Division, of allegations that he ordered the killing of hostages who were mixed in with Hamas terrorists.
Despite being cleared, due to reasons which the IDF did not explain, Hiram’s future IDF career options are still frozen at this time, with no set date for when that issue will be resolved.
For nine months, the narrative against Hiram has been that in the Pesi Cohen household in Be’eri, a group of Hamas terrorists were both holding hostages as well as presenting a significant danger to IDF forces who were trying to liberate the kibbutz from Hamas’s control.
It was alleged that given an impossible choice over whether to continue to allow the Hamas forces to present a danger and given few clear-cut options for rescuing the hostages, that he ordered a tank to fire on the house, destroying it and killing everyone inside, terrorists and hostages alike.
Prior to October 7, Hiram was viewed as one of the IDF’s rising stars and was slated to take over the once prized Gaza Division, a post which is often a stepping stone to top high command positions, and could even lead to becoming IDF chief.
Further, Hiram’s 99th Division has been viewed as fighting extremely effectively in several rounds of battles in Gaza since October 7.
However, because of the Cohen household incident and the probe into the circumstances, his promotion had been frozen, and there was even a possibility that he could face disciplinary measures or worse.
Significant portions of Be’eri residents have also loudly opposed his promotion.
In contrast, the IDF probe found that Hiram was not even present when the tank in question fired on the Cohen house.
Further, the probe found that four tank shells were fired, all with the intent of being near misses that would put pressure on the Hamas terrorists to intimidate them into surrendering, but not to kill either the Hamas forces or the hostages.
The timeline of events
The first tank shell was fired at 5:23 p.m. on the orders of Shin Bet and senior YAMAM police commanders trained for handling hostage situations.
Hiram only arrived at the scene 37 minutes later at 6:00 p.m.
At 6:27 p.m., the tank fired a second time near the house, but still without intent to hit it.
At 6:32 p.m., Hamas forces called the Israeli security forces, saying that they were going to commit suicide and kill all of their hostages.
Subsequently, a third shell was fired and around 6:45 p.m. a fourth shell was then fired, this time with the goal to strike the top of the house, in some area above where the hostages were being kept, but it misfired and struck a lower point, causing damage to parts of the house.
The IDF also believes that glass from just outside of the house broke as part of the explosion from the fourth shell and killed two hostages who were being held there, though the military said it did not believe that the shell directly killed them based on an analysis of the broken glass.
The military said that its visual intelligence, both aerial and from forces nearby on the ground, did not give it a 100% view of the area and so it did not know that some of the hostages were being held just outside the house.
In the following hour, YAMAM, IDF, and Shin Bet forces directed a takeover of the house based on information – including testimony from one of the hostages outside before she was killed – that other hostages had been killed already even before the fourth shell.
Gun fights continued with additional destruction of the house, to the point that, according to the IDF, it became more difficult to discern exactly what actions had caused what damage to it.
Limited visual evidence
Moreover, the IDF said that it does not have 100% evidence that Hamas killed the hostages before the fourth shell or before the attacks by Israeli security forces.
According to the military, this is because both security forces and the ZAKA unit that clears bodies did not maintain the forensics of the bodies properly in terms of being able to check whether they had fatal gunshot wounds or stabbings.
One implication was that the bodies could also have been further damaged by the shelling and Israeli attacks, though in that case, the damage would be unintentional to dead bodies and not to live hostages.
The IDF concluded that the hostage situation occurring on a wild and live battlefield was unprecedented and that, under the unique circumstances, none of the officials involved, including Hiram, had made any errors.
IDF Acknowledges Failure to Protect Kibbutz Be’eri on Oct. 7
July 12, 2024 JBN News – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has acknowledged its failure to protect the residents of Kibbutz Be’eri during Hamas’ devastating massacre on October 7.
According to the IDF, Be’eri was attacked at around 7 a.m. local time on that tragic day, with Hamas terrorists controlling the kibbutz for approximately four hours. The military had trained only for isolated infiltrations, leaving no additional reserve forces in the area that could have been deployed to Kibbutz Be’eri when the attack began.
Despite a local emergency team providing updates, the IDF struggled to create a clear situational assessment of the carnage happening in the kibbutz. Sadly, during the initial hours of the attack the IDF did not provide sufficient warning to the residents of Kibbutz Be’eri about the infiltration of terrorists.
When IDF units eventually arrived in the afternoon, they were in complete disarray to respond effectively. This led to several incidents where security forces grouped at Be’eri’s entrance without immediately engaging in combat.
The turning point came only when a senior officer was appointed to coordinate forces in the area, leading to the regaining of operational control of the kibbutz. By 4:15 p.m., the 99th Division had established itself at Be’eri and began organizing command and control. By 6 p.m., approximately 700 IDF soldiers and security forces were operating in the area.
By the time the kibbutz was cleared, the damage had already been done with 101 people killed and 30 others taken hostage. Survivors of the attack were presented with the IDF report earlier Thursday.
“Members of Kibbutz Be’eri did not need the results of the investigation to feel the failure of the IDF that morning,” Be’eri spokesperson Michal Paykin said. “The failure of the army has been burned into our bodies and in our hearts for nine months.”
[Ed.: ‘We have investigated the massacre, and have determined that we failed. Sorry!’]
Resignation marks latest departure among several high-ranking security officials following Oct 7 massacre
July 11, 2024 All Israel News Staff – The commander of the southern region of Israel’s domestic intelligence service, Shin Bet (ISA), known only by the Hebrew initial Aleph, resigned from his position, Israel’s Channel 12 News revealed on Wednesday evening.
The announcement followed the resignation of the head of Military Intelligence in April and other senior officials, including the IDF’s Gaza division commander, over security failures related to the Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas.
The current head of Shin Bet’s Judea and Samaria operations will reportedly take over Aleph’s position.
In a small farewell ceremony, Aleph apologized for the serious failures during the Oct. 7 disaster and used his speech to take full responsibility while explaining his decision to leave Shin Bet.
[Ed.: “Aleph” is Aharon Haliva, former Head of Military Intelligence and is now the tail. Better the head than the tail.]
Israel Must Beware of Egypt [16:45] Mordechai Kedar
Jun 26, 2024 Avi Abelow – Just as the Israeli security establishment has been wrong for years about Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, they are also wrong about our “peace” with Egypt.
As everyone is focused on Gaza and a potential war with Iran, few are focused on the very disturbing news regarding Egypt.
Do not miss this eye-opening talk with Dr. Mordechai Kedar, expert on Islam and the Middle East on this specific topic.
July 11, 2024 – Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have both blasted the Israel Courts Administration over its request for funding for legal representation for captured combatants suspected of carrying out the October 7 atrocities in southern Israel.
Levin said in a statement to the press on Wednesday: “I stand by my decision made at the beginning of the war: The Justice Ministry will not finance [this]; the Public Defender’s Office will not represent the Nukhba terrorists.”
Smotrich made similar comments, noting that his ministry had received a request to find a source of funding for “the Nukhba terrorists who massacred, slaughtered, raped and murdered Israeli citizens on October 7,” describing the request as “insane.”
Where is the line drawn between what’s legally mandated or not when hundreds of terrorists willingly participated in the October 7 massacre? Should Israel really have to provide funds for this? Who is requesting a source of funding and have they lost their minds?

🌡HEAT WARNING.. very high temps through Friday. Hydrate, don’t forget your children in the car, check your elderly, don’t hike.
▪️WHY IS GAZA HEATING UP? The main reason for not moving to the next stage in the Gaza Strip: in the last two weeks, our forces came across an ‘intelligence gold mine’ in Rafah, the kind of intelligence that can be a key factor in a number of issues that cannot be expanded upon. (Ch. 14)
🔸DEAL NEWS.. negotiations continue. PM says: “We stand by the 4 principles for the deal – control of Philadelphi border corridor, return to the war after, no terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip, as many as possible are liberated in the first stage”
.. Hamas in an official announcement: Until this moment, the mediators have not informed us of any news regarding the ceasefire and prisoner exchange.
▪️SOME INVESTIGATION DETAILS OF OCT. 7.. at 1:30 PM on Oct. 7 there were 340 terrorists in Kibbutz Ba’ari against 26 armed Israelis. IDF graphic of the movements – https://videoidf.azureedge.net/56b6236c-5e2a-4f7a-a9fb-6e5c7cf41270. HOWEVER, there are discrepancies in the reports from the military and civilian fighters, and the report was not provided to the Knesset or government, rather the IDF choose to directly release it to the public (without government permission)?

▪️AID INSANITY.. A reservist who went off to another round of combat in Rafah sent pics: a shipment of potatoes, on the packaging the name of Kibbutz Ba’ari, on the way to Gaza. The ones who will eat it are the Hamas terrorists who steal the aid, the murders eating from the hand of the murdered.

Candace Owens claims Hitler wasn’t the most evil, Mengele experiments ‘bizarre propaganda’ Gary Willig
Former Daily Wire employee engages in more antisemitic conspiracy theories, claims the allies were worse than Nazis and the Holocaust was ‘ethnic cleansing’ rather than genocide.
Jul 11, 2024, 3:32 PM (GMT+3) – Conservative political commentator Candace Owens waded into the waters of antisemitic conspiracy theories again this week when she called the infamous human experiments conducted by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele “bizarre propaganda” and stated that she does not believe Hitler was as evil as he has been made out to be on her Youtube show.
Owens accused the Allies of ethnically cleansing 12 million Germans during and after World War Two and suggested that this was worse than Hitler’s crimes. “What is it about Hitler? Why is he the most evil? Well, the first thing people would say is ‘ethnic cleansing almost took place.’ And I offer back, ‘You mean like we actually did to the Germans?'”
Her remarks appeared to reduce the Holocaust, the extermination of six million Jews and millions of others, to ethnic cleansing.
Owens went on to question the historical record of the experiments the Nazis conducted on their prisoners.
“Some of the stories, by the way, sound completely absurd,” she said. “They just cut a human up and sewed them back together? Why would you do that? Literally, even if you’re the most evil person in the world, that’s a tremendous waste of time and supplies.”
“That just sounds like bizarre propaganda,” Owens added.
As she has done frequently since launching her Youtube show, Owens used the opportunity to bash Israel, this time for the controversy over Poland’s attempt to seek the extradition of former prison camp commander in Community Poland Salomon Morel in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Owens’ latest podcast was widely condemned as antisemitic, with one X user writing that it is “hard to go much lower than this.”
Owens responded to the controversy surrounding her latest episode by writing, “The reason why this particular episode is so detrimental to Zionism is because they have polluted American minds to believe that we must defend Israel out of morality and the evils of the Holocaust.”
Owens has frequently engaged in antisemitic conspiracy theories since the Hamas massacre of October 7. Last month, she suggested on her podcast that the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC was responsible for the assassination of former US President John F. Kennedy.
Another wrote that Ownes Owens “continues to prove that she is one of the dumbest and most vile human beings on the planet.”
When discussing Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) efforts to have AIPAC registered as a foreign agent, she stated, “We know there was once a president that wanted to make AIPAC register, and he ended up shot, so Thomas Massie better be careful.”
In 2022, Owens defended Kanye West after the rapper wrote that he was going “death con 3 on the Jews,” while denying his comments could be antisemitic “because black people are actually Jew.”
Owens stated that “if you are an honest person, you did not think this tweet was antisemitic. You did not think that he wrote this tweet because he hates or wants to genocide [sic] the Jewish people].”
She later apologized for her defense of West.
Owens has been entirely critical of Israel following the Hamas of October 7, accusing the Jewish State of genocide and defending antisemitic conspiracy theories from figures such as Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate. In one instance, she bizarrely claimed that the Arab Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem is so named because that is the only place where Arabs are allowed to live.
Her false statements led Daily Wire co-founder and editor emiratus Ben Shapiro to criticize her, callling her response to the Hamas massacre and the subsequent war “disgraceful” and “faux sophistication.”
The Daily Wire and Owens cut ties in March.
Arab Predator Arrested After Assaulting Israeli Female Hospital Staff
July 10, 2024 JBN News – A suspect accused of assaulting a doctor and a nurse at an Israeli hospital has cast a dark shadow over the humanitarian efforts to provide medical care to Arabs in need.
According to JNS, an Arab obtained a permit to enter Israel in order to escort a family member to Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan on Monday. In the hospital’s parking lot, he attempted to assault a doctor who had just finished her shift.
“I finished my shift and went out to the parking lot towards my car. A man I did not know quickly ran towards me, attacked me, and tried to lift my dress. I fought with him until he let go and ran off,” the victim said.
Israeli police swiftly launched a manhunt and managed to apprehend the assailant within the hospital compound thanks to security camera footage. As the investigation progressed, a nurse at the hospital came forward and reported being assaulted by the same suspect in June. She revealed that he had tried to enter her parked vehicle late at night and attack her while exposing himself.
The 44-year-old man now faces charges of attempted rape, violation of a legal order, and an indecent act by force or threats.
Unquestionably, these disturbing incidents raise serious questions about Israel’s vetting process for medical permits. They reveal a troubling lack of security that has allowed a predator to exploit the goodwill of the Israeli people and inflict unimaginable harm upon those dedicated to saving lives. [Emphasis added]

It is unlikely (Hamas leader) Sinwar will release all the hostages. He will strike to keep some diamonds in his hands, taking advantage of lulls to recover and build up in the vacuum.
Sinwar traps Israel in endless negotiations as part of his infinity war.

3 Israelis accused of murdering neutralized Hamas terrorist on October 7
Speaking to i24NEWS, one of the accused says police treated them as if they were ‘no better than terrorists’
July 08, 2024 at 07:54 AM i24NEWS – Three Israelis are suspected of killing a neutralized Nukhba terrorist on October 7, according to details a court allowed to be published last week after a gag order into the case.
Aged 22, 30, and 35, police opened an investigation into the three for allegedly beating the member of Hamas’s elite force to death after he had already been neutralized.
The removal of the gag order comes after i24NEWS petitioned the courts to publish the information, which had been released in the media despite the order.
According to details cleared for publication, on October 7 the three traveled to the battle zones around Gaza to try assisting Israeli forces in the field. Two of them fought terrorists face to face. At one point, policemen at the site handed them a terrorist who was handcuffed and no longer posed a danger, and asked them to transfer him to where Shin Bet security agency interrogations were conducted.
Two of the suspects claim that they did not find the Shin Bet in the area, so they handed him over to the police. Police investigators reject this version of events, and claim the terrorist was never transferred for inquiry. They claim that the three of them interrogated him in the field, and are suspected of killing him.
One of the suspects, Saar Ophir, is a discharged soldier and the second, Yisrael Biton, is a medic in United Hatzalah. The third suspect, Roi Yifrach, has been charged in the past with impersonating a soldier and stealing weapons.
Opir spoke to i24NEWS’ Hebrew channel with his mother over the weekend, saying “the police said we’re no better than terrorists.”
“We’re talking about Israeli heroes, who saved lives while half the country was sleeping – and the other half, the security forces, we had no idea where they were,” his mother added. “My son risked his life for the people of Israel and found himself accused of a ridiculous and irrelevant offense.” [Emphasis added]
[Ed.: You cannot ‘murder’ a terrorist, nor can you ‘assassinate’ a terrorist. He is an enemy combatant, and you must kill him! (You also don’t arrest him and then litigate him…) The original Hebrew wording in the Ten Commandments says “Thou shalt not murder,” but not ‘thou shalt not kill,’ as is often mistakenly translated. It also commands us to “kill” our enemies before they kill us. The real problem here, besides IINO’s judicial structure, is IDF’s liberal, (and not very) ‘High Command’, and a little booklet handed out to IDF fighters called ‘Purity Of Arms’ which has no basis in Torah law, and is NOT what Hashem taught us in every war of our history! It’s the opposite.]
Be’eri families to be shown conclusions of October 7 probe
The investigation also probed the shelling of the home of Pesi Cohen. Its details will be provided to the families near the end of the week.
Jul 7, 2024, 11:48 PM (GMT+3) Israel National News – Nine months after the massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri, the investigation into the events at the Kibbutz on October 7 has been completed and will be delivered to the families this week, Kan 11 News reported on Sunday.
According to the report, the investigation also probed the shelling by a tank of the home of Be’eri resident Pesi Cohen, in which 13 people were killed and murdered. Pesi Cohen’s home became one of the most prominent symbols of the October 7 failure.
The details of the investigation will be provided to the families already this coming Thursday. It also includes details on the role of Brigadier General Barak Hiram, who commanded the event and ordered the shelling of Cohen’s home.
The officers accompanying the families of Kibbutz Be’eri will meet them at the home to which they were evacuated and give them the details of the investigation. Kibbutz Be’eri is the first whose members will receive the conclusions of the investigation. The details will then be provided to other towns located near the border with Gaza.

⭕ TWO NORTHERN BARRAGES TODAY.. in the first, 27 northern towns were under alert and rocket risk. On the second, 14 northern towns under alert and rocket risk. There were rocket strikes and injuries, and many fires started. 4 injured, 2 serious, 2 civilians, 1 IDF soldier, 1 American citizen.
▪️A HERO SOLDIER HAS FALLEN.. Jalaa Ibrahim, 25, from Sajur, a Druze-Israeli, fell in battle in Gaza. May his family be honored and may the dead receive mercy.
▪️WAR POLITICS.. the Defense Minister was under some verbal attack today for not supporting the coalition conscription law but demanding the reserve extension law.
🔸DEAL POLITICS.. statement from the Prime Minister’s Office:
The Prime Minister continues to firmly stand by the principles already agreed upon by Israel:
1 – Any deal will allow Israel to return and fight until all the goals of the war are achieved.
2 – It will not be possible to smuggle weapons to Hamas from the Gaza border to Egypt.
3 – The return of thousands of armed terrorists to the north of the Gaza Strip will not be possible.
4 – Israel will maximize the number of live abductees that will be returned from Hamas captivity.

▪️ON THE ARRESTED DEFENDERS.. Message from the Attorney General’s Office: In light of much misinformation that has been published about arrests for “murder of a terrorist (from Oct. 7)”, which has resulted in serious incitement, the State Attorney’s Office publishes shares:
An investigation was opened following information received about the theft of weapons from army soldiers who were killed in the battles on Oct 7. R. was indicted for the crimes of armed robbery and impersonation. As well a video was found in which he was seen punching a Palestinian in his car, who’s body was found later.
S. was indicted after “written statements of his were found, in which he allegedly confessed to killing a number of terrorists whom he and others caught alive, as well as severe acts of violence committed against terrorists outside of combat” as well as finding gun parts in his home.
Any attempt to criticize the prosecutors and in general the work of the prosecutor’s office and to link the law enforcement system with attempts to harm the State of Israel, will not succeed.

October 7 survivors, families to organize civilian inquiry into massacre – report
Unofficial probe aims to publish findings by first anniversary of attack; government yet to launch state commission of inquiry, despite calls for accountability
July 7, 2024 12:05 pm Times Of Israel – Survivors of the Hamas terror group’s October 7 massacre are organizing a civil investigative committee to probe the government’s failures on the day of the attack, according to a Saturday report.
Bereaved families and wounded soldiers will also participate in the inquiry, which plans to gather testimony about that day, on which thousands of terrorists invaded southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, and sparking the ongoing war between Israel and the terror group.
The panel will be formed on Wednesday, and will be made up of former senior officials in the defense establishment and judiciary, former mayors of northern and southern communities, and a former top police officer, Channel 12 reported.
According to the report, the commission intends to publish its findings on the first anniversary of the massacre in October, after meeting some three times a week between now and then to gather testimony.
Channel 12 described the establishment of the commission as an “act of protest” against the government, which has not launched a state commission of inquiry despite mounting pressure and though the military has conducted internal investigations.
The government says a state commission of inquiry — a formal, nonpolitical process chaired by judges selected by the president of the Supreme Court — is required, but only after the war is over.
State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman announced a wide-ranging probe in December, but the military and the State Attorney’s Office opposed the effort, and good-governance watchdog groups said it was beyond the comptroller’s purview.
In June, the High Court of Justice ordered Englman to suspend his investigation, citing security concerns. The court will hold a hearing on the matter this month.

Report: IDF Ignored Sergeant’s Warning Signs Before Oct. 7 Massacre
July 5, 2024 JBN News – A damning new report has exposed a desperate plea from an IDF intelligence sergeant that was tragically brushed aside mere days before Hamas’ devastating massacre in southern Israel on October 7.
According to Channel 12 News, a female sergeant from the IDF’s elite Unit 8200 sent an urgent email to several of her superiors, remarking how Hamas’ training exercises were mirror images of Hamas’ “Jericho Wall” plan obtained by IDF intelligence a year prior to October 7. [Emphasis added
The 40-page confiscated Hamas document provides explicit details on how to obliterate Israel’s Gaza defense systems. It reportedly calls for a barrage of rockets at the outset of an attack, drones to knock out security cameras, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse via paragliders, motorcycles, and on foot.
In her letter, the female officer warned that Hamas was actively rehearsing these scenarios, poised to execute them at any moment.
“The raid training into the country’s territory indicates that the ‘Jericho Walls’ plan is no longer just on paper,” she wrote.
“It is likely that we will not be able to provide a long enough warning to prepare for preventing the event,” she added, urging her superiors to “think about formulating coping strategies for when the event actually happens to minimize the damage.”
Despite her dire warnings, the sergeant’s words were inexplicably ignored. [Emphasis added]
Responding to these and other damning allegations, the IDF announced a thorough investigation into the events leading up to October 7.
“The IDF is investigating the events of October 7 and the preceding incidents. These investigations aim to learn and draw lessons for future combat,” an IDF spokesperson told Channel 12 News. “The investigations are ongoing, and findings will be presented transparently to the public once concluded.”
However, for countless Israelis still traumatized by the horrors of Oct. 7, such assurances ring painfully hollow. The young IDF sergeant’s haunting words will forever serve as a chilling reminder of how Israeli leadership failed to protect its citizens from the worst massacre in Jewish history since the Holocaust.

The generals, in alignment with the courts are trying to create a smokescreen. A twisted reality. He who ran to prevent the massacre, killing terrorists, kis a murderer. The generals who did not send the army, for 8 hours! Until the massacre has achieved many of its well planned goals are then not guilty of murder. Orwell’s 1984 on steroids. - Chana Epstein July 7, 2024 1:38 am
Sadly, true. Hopefully soon, all who should be, will pay the price for their arrogance and ignorance. - Katherine Keyser July 7, 2024 2:30 am
May I say that the boxes that state fill in here and there are non existent. I just guess where they would be, there is not even a line or prompter. It appears to me that so far, on two occasions, women are seeing these threats, but why do you have them in the military sect if they ignored. Their voices are just as important, if not more so than their male counterparts. If it were not for them who are faithful and true, your men would have nothing to boast on them. It’s a disturbing pattern which needs to be rectified. You gave these women these roles in army, where it’s obvious you won’t put men in, not even a gun? How are they to defend themselves. It’s a sad day when they are treated as inferior. Even radio or letter are ignored! What more is there to say. - Julie D July 7, 2024 3:07 am
Women are used for intelligence for their superior gut feel of a situation or impending one. Arrogance of men resulted in 10.07
Important report from a source near the action Chananya Weissman | #285 Gog Umagog Update
So hundreds of terrorists were able to cross the border by surprise and capture entire communities, with little to no military response for many hours, in a country blanketed by cameras, with supposedly some of the best intelligence in the world, and we’re supposed to believe this was a surprise attack. Never forget that the country is run by Erev Rav who work for Amalek. May Hashem save us from the enemies within as much as the enemies outside our land.
July 7, 2024 – I received this report from a source I believe is credible. Turn off the controlled propaganda, use the brain God gave you, and draw your own conclusions:
“It’s worse, there was a stand down order to the now erased Gaza Division – the murderous farce started at 0400 not 0630… It took the murderous zombie horde no less than an hour to get to towns…
No IAF action for at least 6 hours, while the hordes freely came and went unbothered and freely through the border “checkpoints”. . .
The Navy wiped out the sea incursions – guess they didn’t need “intelligence” to stop murderous feces …
I live close enough to see and hear comings and goings from there, for most of my military service I was attached to that division.”
There was unusually heavy weirdness starting at about 0200 – at approx. 0300 there were one or two fighter planes lighting afterburners (sonic booms), one helicopter moving one way which didn’t return. Then the sound of Merkava main cannon (105mm or 120mm) firing, then silence. Missile barrages started rising from Gaza. Not a single airplane or helicopter of any kind until at least 6-8 hours later. Probably no less than 5,000 missiles outgoing from Gaza by 0800 (this matches “foreign media reports”).
Al-Jazeera Arabic was showing live-streamed operations of the zombie horde (uniformed terrorists) over-running the Gaza Division unopposed, one drone with a bomb blew up on a Merkava and the crew was dragged out and mutilated – none of the soldiers seemed to be armed… The enemy took 4 completely undamaged Merkavas, unopposed, they took some mutilated Jewish survivors of the massacre of Gaza Division right back across the border, through the regular totally unmanned checkpoint, some on vehicles and some being dragged on foot. From some of the footage it was obvious there were “European” looking men (blond and pale skinned) with military haircuts and first-rate equipment and military-bearing wearing beige “covid masks” helping move “prisoners” across the unmanned checkpoints.
The main enemy “force” took, in their own words, more than an hour to get to their target towns – they were followed by “Einsatzgruppen” para-military hordes for looting and kidnapping survivors of the first wave.
I say with certainty this was a “stand-down” order – they do indeed have a very expensive “obstacle” to prevent this, sophisticated tracking surveillance with remote operated machine gun emplacements, and even if they were “overrun by surprise” which is IMPOSSIBLE, the IAF has Apache helicopters for this case, and there were NONE airborne until at least 6 hours later (when hostages were being taken back to Gaza, and the terrorist were coming and going as they pleased in great numbers). The Navy managed to destroy every single enemy that attempted a mass distributed coastal landing without a single loss…
Finally, some time ago, the security for these Southern towns was handled by the Gaza Division (they’d post soldiers at each town, check people coming in and patrol). Then there was a government decision to remove the soldiers and replace them with local civilian civil defense people, but the military defunded the programs and also took away the towns weapons armories that were supposed to be distributed to the local civilian defense persons (so the civil defense asked for personally armed volunteers, and we know how “easy” it is for a Jewish Israeli to get a firearm here).
Note how all the reports in Hebrew keep talking about the “Intelligence Failure” and that it’s the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War – not one word about where were the IAF helicopters and planes all those hours (but they talk plenty about how there was no military or police to be found in the towns being slaughtered by the terrorists).
Look at and pay close attention to what time this guy posted his heroic crushing of the murderous vermin who had already killed others in his town, as one example of many:
“I got up in the morning to smoke a cigarette. It was 6:15 a.m. Dawn had barely broken. Suddenly I saw a trail of light in the sky and that’s how this absurd scenario began. Little by little the horrible picture became clearer,” Nava Anker, who is a member of Kibbutz Nirim told Ynet. She said her son also lives in Nirim with his three daughters. “Only later did we realize that we were surrounded by terrorists. We heard small arms fire. The IDF forces arrived after seven hours or so.”

A few additional thoughts from me:
Expect war lockdowns and heightened censorship for your safety. Emergency government = emergency powers, and we know how they depend on emergencies. Do not trust the people who are supposed to be “protecting” you. They are your worst enemies.
Someone who responded to my first email put it best: “My first thought when I saw the news early this morning was that a government established by Nazi collaborators, that slaughters its babies, and kills and maims its citizens with medical tyranny would absolutely allow an enemy attack with all its suffering, wounded and dead.”
This wasn’t an intelligence failure. On the contrary; the operation was executed as planned.
* * *
In case you still find it hard to believe that the Erev Rav who sold you out so many times would allow this to happen, this comes from another astute commenter:
The Gaza border: one of the most fortified and technologically advanced borders in the world, teeming with combat soldiers, battalions of tanks, and a heavy air force presence. There are multiple systems in place there including;
1. Static thermal imaging observation posts.
2. Manned patrol vehicles.
3. Static manned observation posts.
4. Subterranean RADAR.
5. Reconnaissance drones.
6. Reconnaissance aircraft.
7. Autonomous patrol vehicles.
8. Fence motion detection.
9. Bomb proof multi-layered reinforced fence set in concrete.
None of the above was working. Hamas militants were able to cross open ground and infiltrate into multiple Israeli cities and yeshuvim without detection or being challenged. Hamas militants were even able to make it back into Gaza afterwards with the bodies of captured soldiers, civilians and vehicles.
Somehow every single security measure was ineffective.
This does not make sense.
You can’t just drive a tractor through the Gaza fence. It’s designed not to be driven through. There was a perfectly shaped cut hole for Hamas vehicles to pass through.
Even with a powerful angle grinder, it takes time to cut through that many layers of reinforcement. That went unnoticed for some reason…
Even an animal touching that fence would trigger an alarm and a protocol is in place to respond to that.
Gog Umagog Update
1. Two testimonies from Israel about the Erev Rav betrayal (Hebrew)
The first video is from a former IDF combat commander. He states in no uncertain terms that this was a betrayal from within. The second video shows a resident of a border community cursing out Israel’s “leaders” and stating that there were no Israeli military aircraft in the sky for 6 hours while citizens were being slaughtered.
2. How the Hamas Attack on Israel Unfolded
This short video is from the Wall Street Journal. As you watch this, ask yourself: Where were the soldiers? Where were the reinforcements? This took place over many hours in broad daylight. One helicopter with a machine gun could have taken them out. This was deliberate.
3. ‘Conspiracy theories about treason are fake news and Iranian misinformation’
Here’s my response to the mockingbird media: drop dead and go to hell.

Do not expect the army to protect you in the event of unwelcome visitors to your community. Anything can be used as a weapon. Organize and prepare accordingly.
Israeli Journalist: IDF bases were ambushed from within the night before Oct 7 [Hebrew VIDEO 6:12 with translation below] Chananya Weissman
July 5, 2024 – Many have been shouting this from the rooftops all along, but a recently released video from Hamas provides clear evidence that IDF bases near the Gaza border were ambushed from within the night before the fence was breached to pave the way for the October 7 massacre. According to journalist Chaim Yativ, the bases were taken out by Mossad/deep state traitors, likely with the assistance of CIA agents and American armed forces. The Jewish soldiers protecting the border were murdered in cold blood from within the night before the invasion.
English transcript follows.
Chaim Yativ: “The soldiers were murdered when it was still during the night. Before daybreak. In specific bases. There was an attack with silencers…through “friendly” forces, which could have been Americans, American assassins of the CIA, together with men from the Mossad that partnered with them, brought them inside.
“Now, regarding what you said, regarding the bases, and the murder in the night. We spoke about this base of Refaim, of this video in which we see the people are sitting around, the female soldiers, at night, yes. And they tried to attribute it to bilateral shooting in the north (our forces against our forces) which is bull****. If this was a bilateral shooting in the north, there’s no way Hamas would have obtained this video from the telephone of the female soldier.”
This is the first video that Hamas released on its Telegram channel, as the opening event of the slaughter in the south. It was recorded in darkness.
While the video of the first breach of the fence was recorded by the light of day.
Interviewer: “Excuse me, Chaim, when you say “dutz” (Hebrew abbreviation), that is bilateral?”
Chaim Yativ: “Bilateral, yes. Meaning, this was our soldiers that fired against each other. That’s bull****, because also bilateral shooting couldn’t happen within a base. When they start shooting in the evening, when the soldiers are sitting around, with automatic weapons. It’s clear that this was an elimination. Otherwise we would also have seen the continuation of the video.
“Only what happened? The thing is that Hamas didn’t release this video immediately. It seems that they didn’t want to hand it over. They were working for the Americans. They didn’t want to hand over this matter, that this was at night. But because the elimination was at night…but it seems that they thought that this split second, after they already gave the general picture beforehand, wouldn’t disturb the matter. So it seems that someone mistakenly released this video.
“In any case, after this we went onto another video, which was on a Golani base, in which we see clearly that everything is staged. This isn’t a storming of a Golani base or anything. You see one person storming with a camera in hand on the base. Two men are sitting by the entrance of the base. No one shoots, no one does anything. The storming of the Golani base is bull****.
“What’s important in this matter is that you see the storming is by daylight, and by daylight we see in actuality, one who examines the video, we see it’s already daylight, that all the soldiers on the base were already murdered. And they weren’t just murdered, but they were murdered a while ago. Because if you look at the bodies of the soldiers, their blackened faces, the black blood that is there – this happened a while ago. They were murdered a few hours ago.
“Consequently, there was “preparatory work” the night before they came [from Gaza] in order to make it possible for them by daylight to breach the fences. Without this preparatory work, it would not have been possible at 6:30, 7:00, for the Hamasniks to reach the fences and breach them.”
Highlighted portion from post by Memi Golan:
“1. A veteran reporter told me in the morning that survivors from the Gaza envelope who are staying in one of the hotels by the Dead Sea told him that two types of terrorists participated in the slaughter. One type of Satan’s children we already recognize, and there was another type who spoke English, only English, who dressed in black. And after they broke into houses they asked nicely for an apple or a banana. They left the houses without harming anyone. They sat on the lawns and made themselves a fruit salad.
“2. This wasn’t one instance or two. I publicized one testimony like this yesterday, and now it has been strengthened.
“3. These ones had time for a fruit salad, and their friends had time to commit a series of acts of abuse in cold blood and to burn cars to ash. From where did they know that they would have time? Why didn’t they murder, take the hostages, and disappear? Who really was in charge of the terror, and what did his watch tell him?”
