Israeli team is set to participate in the Paris Olympics starting Friday after the French government as well as the International Olympic Committee turned down calls to ban it over the genocidal war on Gaza. | Netizens have been fuming at the body responsible for organizing the Olympic Games and Emmanuel Macron's government for allowing “mass murderers” to participate in the marquee sports competition. According to reports, the flag-bearer of the Israeli contingent at the Paris Olympics will be Peter Paltchik, a Ukrainian-born Israeli judoka who competes in the under-100 kg weight category. ● Social media users have pointed out that Paltchik, a former European champion, was one of those who signed bomb shells aimed at Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, after the Israeli regime launched its genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged territory in October 2023, Paltchik shared a photo of munitions signed by him. “From me to you with pleasure,” he wrote in the tweet, which stirred up the hornet’s nest.

Hebrew media reports that the army is urging Tel Aviv that ‘now is the right time’ for escalation against Hezbollah and Lebanon | Former Israeli intelligence and security official Yuval Malka told Hebrew media on 25 July that Washington has greenlit a wider war on Lebanon. “According to the information I received from the delegation and what I know, Netanyahu has received full legitimacy in the United States to wage a war in Lebanon,” Malka told Israel’s Channel 14. [...] “The Israeli army is prepared for a major ground maneuver in Lebanon and warns: Any delay will be in Hezbollah’s favor when there is progress in the background in negotiations to release the hostages,” said Amir Bohbot, military editor and senior defense analyst for Israeli news site Walla, on 24 July.

Martin Armstrong | There is no European Union. There is a European authority within the pretend union that controls all members. | The European Union has revoked Hungary of its right to host the next summit. The EU supposedly has a rotating presidency of council to maintain the appearance that each state has an equal say in the direction of the bloc. The truth of the matter is that the unelected elite in Brussels control all of Europe and will silence dissenters, as Hungray’s Viktor Orban recently learned. ■ The next EU summit was to take place August 28-29 was slated to be Hungary’s opportunity to share its ideas for matters like foreign policy with the rest of the bloc. EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell planned a “formal” council meeting on the exact dates of Hungary’s summit to undermine the country’s voice in the bloc. Now, Borrell is revoking Budapest’s ability to host the next meeting and moving it to Brussels.

Authorities said the event attended by Viktor Orban and Nigel Farage presented a “possibility of disorder” | Belgian police barricaded the entrance to a conference of national conservatives in the capital of the EU for several hours, in what participants denounced as censorship and political repression. ● The event, dubbed NatCon, drew populists from both Europe and the US to Claridge, a venue in central Brussels. As Brexit architect Nigel Farage spoke on Tuesday, police blocked the entrance and prevented keynote speaker Eric Zemmour – a former French presidential candidate – from entering.

Young adults between the ages of 15 and 44 are experiencing more neurological disease than ever before in our nation's history. And data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points to Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "vaccines" as the culprit. | Phinance Technologies put together a study using this CDC data showing a sharp rise in neurological disease-induced death within this age group that started in 2020. Conditions like Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis that are commonly associated with vaccination suddenly started afflicting the 15-44 age group, many from which were forced to get injected for COVID in order to work or attend school. ● The pre-print study paints what Great Game India described as "a troubling picture of the neurological health landscape in the U.S." It shows a clear uptick in mortality from neurological illness right around the time that Operation Warp Speed was launched by the Trump regime. ● Ed Dowd, a former Wall Street guru who is now a principal at Phinance, said "the results show a clear break from the prior historical trend in death rates from neurological diseases."

Andre Damon | The Lancet, the prestigious peer-reviewed British medical journal, has warned that the true death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 or more. | This staggering figure amounts to 8 percent of the population of Gaza. ■ A similar percentage of the US population would be 26 million people. It stands as an indictment of the United States and its imperialist allies, who have funded, armed and politically defended Israel’s genocide in Gaza. ■ The official death toll since the onset of the Israeli attack, according to Gazan government sources, is 37,396. But The Lancet noted that this figure reflects neither the thousands of people buried under the rubble nor the countless deaths caused by the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s food distribution, healthcare and sanitation systems.

Fighting has intensified around the Russian-speaking city of Khakov in recent months as Ukraine has launched strikes on Russian territory from the region. Moscow has promised to respond to Kiev's attacks, which frequently kill and injure Russian civilians. | Germany has decided to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory bordering the Kharkov region with German-supplied weapons to impede Russian progress around the city, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said during a news conference Wednesday. [...] The chancellor also said German military aid to Ukraine would soon be facilitated via NATO facilities in the Germany city of Wiesbaden.

US president says it is time to ‘pass the torch’ to younger voices that ‘defence of democracy’ is more important than personal ambition. | United States President Joe Biden has made his first public address since dropping his re-election bid, saying he pulled out of the race against Republican challenger Donald Trump to unite his party and save the country’s democracy. ● The 81-year-old politician struck a sombre tone on Wednesday as he sat behind the Resolute Desk at the Oval Office of the White House, and announced that it was “time to pass the torch” to younger voices.

Multiple Palestinian factions have released statements criticizing the US for hosting Netanyahu in the Congress on Wednesday. | Izzat Al-Risheq, a member of the political bureau of Hamas, blasted Netanyahu's speech before the United States Congress, describing it as "a criminal's speech filled with lies and a mockery of the [peoples'] intelligence."Another senior Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, said that Netanyahu's speech addressing the US Congress is evidence that he does not want to conclude a ceasefire deal.

💬 "Netanyahu's speech was full of lies and it will not succeed in covering up for the failure and defeat in the face of the Resistance to cover up for the crimes of the war of genocide his army is committing against the people of Gaza," Abu Zuhri said in an interview.

Ron Unz | Israel Shahak and the Middle East ● The Unusual Doctrines of Traditional Judaism ● The Attitude of Judaism Towards Non-Jews ● The Historical Role of Jews in Western Societies ● The Controversial Scholarship of Ariel Toaff [...] My encounter a decade ago with Shahak’s candid description of the true doctrines of traditional Judaism was certainly one of the most world-altering revelations of my entire life. But as I gradually digested the full implications, all sorts of puzzles and disconnected facts suddenly became much more clear. There were also some remarkable ironies, and not long afterward I joked to a (Jewish) friend of mine that I’d suddenly discovered that Nazism could best be described as “Judaism for Wimps” or perhaps Judaism as practiced by Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Mike Whitney | Chinese diplomats expect the path to peace to be implemented in three phases [...] China should be applauded for bringing the rival factions together and making such a courageous effort to bring the 10 month-long bloodbath in Gaza to an end. They should also be commended for understanding that the broader crisis cannot be resolved without internal reconciliation, which is why China’s foreign ministry arranged to bring all the factions together at one time. Fortunately, the three-day confab helped the leaders to iron-out their differences on key issues including the creation of a provisional “national reconciliation government that will be formed according to the consensus of Palestinian factions and the current Basic Law of the Palestine.” [...]

Investigators have found that an unknown person who made regular visits to would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crook’s home and workplace also visited the site of an FBI office in Washington D.C. before the assassination attempt at the Butler Park rally. | Newly acquired cell phone data allowed investigators to “follow” the location of other devices deemed potential co-conspirators, allowing them to focus on the geolocation data and trace their movements. The cell phone data raises the question of whether Crooks had been contacted by the FBI or other intelligence agencies prior the the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Additionally, a device linked to Crooks’ workplace traveled to Butler, PA, on July 4th and July 8th but stopped all activity on July 12th. The FBI has been caught red-handed on numerous occasions grooming vulnerable young men and adolescents into becoming terrorists tasked with committing politically opportunistic attacks against fellow Americans.

A Russian national was detained in Paris on suspicion of seeking to "destabilize" the situation during the Olympic Games, the Agence France-Presse reported, citing the Paris prosecutor’s office. | "On Tuesday, a case was initiated on charges of working for a foreign country with an aim of instigating hatred in France. These charges are punishable by a prison term of 30 years," the prosecutor’s office said. According to the agency, the police apprehended a Russian national born in 1984. His name was not disclosed.

 ● At least 89 Palestinians have been killed and 250 others wounded in Khan Younis in “one of the bloodiest” Israeli attacks in the past eight months. Israeli forces are facing fierce resistance from Palestinian fighters.
 ● About 150,000 Khan Younis residents were forced to flee in one day, with residents saying they barely got a couple of minutes to escape to areas with little or no infrastructure.
 ● Hundreds of protesters were arrested in Washington, DC, before the Israeli PM’s scheduled address to the US Congress. Netanyahu, who faces a potential ICC arrest warrant for war crimes, likely to meet President Biden, as well as presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
 ● At least 39,090 people have been killed and 90,147 injured in Israel’s war on Gaza. The death toll in Israel from the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 is estimated at 1,139 with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.

In another spine-chilling incident, 24-year-old Palestinian man Muhammad Bhar, who was suffering from Down syndrome and autism, was killed by an Israeli army dog in broad daylight. | Bhar’s diabolic murder earlier this month sent shock waves across the globe and once again brought to focus the genocidal war crimes of the Israeli regime against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip. ● Bhar family, which had been displaced at least five times during the war, sought refuge in their home in eastern Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood when Israeli troops stormed their house on June 27. ● The regime forces first unleashed their sniffer dogs into the house. The dogs instantly attacked Bhar who was made to sit in the safest corner of the living room by his family.

Eva Bartlett | Israeli attacks have likely killed many more than the nearly 40,000 people reported, and even more will yet perish | Earlier this month, the Lancet published an article estimating that the total number of Palestinian civilian deaths caused directly and indirectly by Israeli attacks since October 2023 could be nearly five times higher than the official death toll, and could reach “up to 186 000 or even more.” It noted that “this would translate to 7.9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip.” According to the piece, the latest available count of Palestinians killed – 37,396 – is far too low, based on the fact that it is still unknown how many more lie under the rubble, how many are missing but not accounted for among the dead, and how many will perish due to starvation, dehydration, or diseases.

Royal Air Force has surveillance tape of Gaza from the day Israel killed British aid workers – but refuses to publish it. | Britain’s Ministry of Defence holds video surveillance footage of Gaza from the day that Israel killed seven international aid workers but is refusing to publish the tape. Among those killed in the World Central Kitchen convoy on 1 April were three British military veterans: John Chapman, James Kirby and James ‘Jim’ Henderson. The footage was taken by a Royal Air Force (RAF) surveillance plane which spent approximately five hours above Gaza that day.

The Israeli leader will address a joint session of Congress | On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the US, where he is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress. Netanyahu’s visit comes amid political turmoil in the US as President Biden announced on Sunday that he was dropping out of the presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. [Fully vaccinated] Biden was supposed to host Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday, but an Israeli source told The Times of Israel that the meeting might not happen because the president is still sick with COVID-19.

On July 21, Biden announced he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race in a move that came amid POTUS-related calls by prominent Democrats and donors to withdraw after his disastrous performance in last month’s debate against former US President Donald Trump. | Joe Biden had to withdraw from the US presidential race late last week after threats by high-ranking Democrats to forcibly remove him from office - the New York Post (NYP) reports, citing unnamed sources.

💬 The well-orchestrated "palace coup" has been in place for weeks, with Biden fighting it "every step of the way," the sources claimed, referring to "anger, paranoia and frustration" allegedly shown by the 46th US president, as the party elite piled pressure on him.

The top Democrats had threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution to stop Biden from seeking re-election, the insiders argued, recalling that the document authorizes the vice president, and members of the Biden administration, to declare the president unfit for service.

"They are not ready now, but I think they will be ready," Serbian President said | Western countries are currently engaged in active preparations for entering into a direct conflict with Russia, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic believes. [...] Earlier, the Serbian president emphasized that "the West, as long as people from the West do not die, or only volunteers die, does not care how many Ukrainians will die." This, according to the Serbian leader, is because "Russia has a lot of oil, gas, phosphates, gold and silver, and everything they need." He also cited ideas coming from the Scandinavian countries that "Russia does not deserve to have such territory, because it is the province of all mankind."

Russian jets were scrambled to prevent two U.S. military long-range bomber aircraft from crossing over into Russia, Moscow's Defense Ministry said on Sunday. | Russian MiG-29 and MiG-31 fighter jets identified two U.S. Air Force B-52H heavy bombers closing in on the border after Russia detected aerial targets over the Barents Sea, the Kremlin said in a statement posted to social media. The Barents Sea sits north of Finland, Sweden and Norway, as well as northwestern Russia.

💬 "As the Russian fighters approached, the U.S. strategic bombers turned away from the State Border of the Russian Federation," Moscow said in a statement. The Russian aircraft "safely returned to their base airfields," it added. "The flight of the Russian fighters was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace over neutral waters, observing safety measures."

Newsweek has reached out to the U.S. Air Force for comment. Russia occasionally reports scrambling jets to intercept aircraft belonging to NATO countries approaching its airspace. Earlier this month, Moscow said its airspace control systems covering the Barents Sea had detected a Norwegian Air Force P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft heading for its border on July 10.

A precise strike by the Russian armed forces against a target in Odessa resulted in the destruction of an entire unit of British Special Boat Service (SBS)* fighters - "underwater saboteurs, the elite of the British saboteur community." | As a result of a very precise hit by the Russians, 18 members of the British special forces were killed and 25 others were wounded. ● The most interesting thing is that the investigators who came to the scene spoke exclusively English. This means that they (the British) no longer trust the Ukrainian SBU. There is information that the Ukrainian soldiers have passed on all the data. There is already sabotage going on by ACTIVE DUTY TROOPS OF NATO-MEMBER COUNTRIES, against Russian forces. These NATO troops are engaged in actual warfare in Ukraine. Yet NATO laughingly claims it "is not a party to the conflict." Russia determined the place and time so that the entire British elite unit would be hit. Russia succeeded. ● It is important to note, there are very few such specialists in the entire United Kingdom; perhaps 100-120 people for the whole country. As such, this Russian strike was a very serious blow; not for Ukraine but for Britain.
