In a new show of rift inside the “Israeli” cabinet that gathered overnight on Friday to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip after the war against Hamas ends, the meeting was reportedly cut off after Knesset members clashed with the military establishment over investigation of the mistakes that led to October 7. | Miri Regev, Minister of Transport and Road Safety, pointed out that the decision over the probe had been made without Knesset members knowledge and argued that the army should be fully focused on the combat in the moment. ● The question of the post-war Gaza uncovered the deep ideological divide within the coalition as the right-wing ministers, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and so-called “National” Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, have promoted the idea of Gazans' permanent displacement and return of “Israeli” settlements into the Strip. ● The investigation is said to include former War Minister Shaul Mofaz. The decision angered the far-right politicians due to his involvement in the disengagement from Gaza back in 2005. Dismissing the criticism toward the army’s probe, Benny Gantz, a former Chief of Staff and War Minister, reportedly responded: “This is a professional investigation, what does it have to do with the disengagement [from the Gaza Strip in 2005]?” “The chief of staff is ‘f***ing’ investigating into what happened now to serve the goals of the war and our ability to prepare for a conflict in the north. This is not a ‘national’ investigation.” ● An unnamed minister told Hebrew media outlet KAN that “it was a despicable discussion that exploded. They attacked the army. Some senior members of the ‘defense’ establishment left in the middle.”

According to a report by the Government Media Office, "Israel" has dropped 65,000 tons of explosives and missiles on Gaza in three months. | "Israel" has dropped 65,000 tons of explosives and missiles on Gaza in three months, which outweighs and is more powerful than three nuclear bombs that the US dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, a report by Gaza's Government Media Office revealed. ● In more detail, the report said that the "occupation aircraft dropped over 45,000 missiles and giant bombs, some of them weighing two thousand pounds of explosives, during the comprehensive genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, deliberately targeting entire residential areas." ● The deliberate targeting of civilians is further proven by the occupation's use of "dumb bombs"; i.e. imprecise and unguided bombs. ● Moreover, the occupation used at least nine types of internationally prohibited missiles in the Strip, including the repeated use of white phosphorus which has been intensely criticized and condemned.

“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s two senior far-right partners endorsed the rebuilding of settlements in the Gaza Strip and the encouraging of “voluntary emigration” of Palestinians on Monday, while opposition MK Avigdor Liberman called for “Israel” to reoccupy South Lebanon. | Speaking during their parties’ respective faction meetings in the Knesset, the Zionist entity’s “National” Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich presented the migration of Palestinian civilians as a prerequisite for securing the stability necessary to allow “Israeli” settlers to the settlements. ● The war presents an “opportunity to concentrate on encouraging the migration of the residents of Gaza,” Ben Gvir told reporters and members of his “Otzma Yehudit” party, calling such a policy “a correct, just, moral and humane solution.” [sic]

At least 100 Palestinians have been killed and 158 others wounded in Israeli strikes in the central part of the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, as the occupying regime intensifies its ground offensive in the besieged territory. | According to a senior health official in central Gaza, hospitals were filled with wounded Palestinians following Israel’s heavy bombardment, as fighting continued on Friday and early Saturday in al-Bureij, Nuseirat, and Maghazi refugee camps. ● Israeli tanks pushed deeper into districts in central and southern Gaza overnight, with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) posting images of Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis, showing ambulances operating amid smashed streets, carrying injured children.

This year has been the deadliest year on record for children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with conflict-related violence reaching unprecedented levels: 💬 “As the world watches on in horror at the situation in the Gaza Strip, children in the West Bank are experiencing a nightmare of their own. Living with a near-constant feeling of fear and grief is, sadly, all-too-common for children affected. Many children report that fear has become a part of their daily life, with many scared even walking to school or playing outside due to the threat of shootings and other conflict-related violence. UNICEF is extremely concerned about the right of children in the West Bank including East Jerusalem to safety and protection, and their inherent right to life. (Link to VIDEO)

■ Watch: Israeli children sing, “We will annihilate everyone” in Gaza (11/21/23)

■ Death and Destruction in Gaza (John J. Mearsheimer) | I do not believe that anything I say about what is happening in Gaza will affect Israeli or American policy in that conflict. But I want to be on record so that when historians look back on this moral calamity, they will see that some Americans were on the right side of history. ● What Israel is doing in Gaza to the Palestinian civilian population – with the support of the Biden administration – is a crime against humanity that serves no meaningful military purpose. As J-Street, an important organization in the Israel lobby, puts it, “The scope of the unfolding humanitarian disaster and civilian casualties is nearly unfathomable.” [...] First, Israel is purposely massacring huge number of civilians, roughly 70 percent of whom are children and women. The claim that Israel is going to great lengths to minimize civilian casualties is belied by statements from high level Israeli officials. [...] Second, Israel is purposely starving the desperate Palestinian population by greatly limiting the amount of food, fuel, cooking gas, medicine, and water that can be brought into Gaza. Moreover, medical care is extremely hard to come by for a population that now includes approximately 50,000 wounded civilians. Not only has Israel greatly limited the supply of fuel into Gaza, which hospitals need to function, but it has targeted hospitals, ambulances, and first aid stations. [...] Third, Israeli leaders talk about Palestinians and what they would like to do in Gaza in shocking terms, especially when you consider that some of these leaders also talk incessantly about the horrors of the Holocaust. Indeed, their rhetoric has led Omar Bartov, a prominent Israeli-born scholar of the Holocaust, to conclude that Israel has “genocidal intent.” Other scholars in Holocaust and genocide studies have offered a similar warning. ● To be more specific, it is commonplace for Israeli leaders to refer to Palestinians as “human animals, ”human beasts,” and “horrible inhuman animals.” And as Israeli President Isaac Herzog makes clear, those leaders are referring to all Palestinians, not just Hamas: In his words, “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible.” (More)

■ Political scientist Mearsheimer sheds light on Israel-Palestine conflict origins (VIDEO)

Israel’s national broadcaster Kan uploaded this song to X (formerly Twitter) in which Israeli children sing in celebration and support for the Israeli army’s mass extermination campaign of Palestinians in Gaza. The sweet faces of children make an incongruous accompaniment to the genocidal lyrics of the so-called Friendship Song 2023. “Autumn night falls over the beach of Gaza, planes are bombing, destruction, destruction,” the children sing in angelic voices. “Within a year we will annihilate everyone, and then we will return to plow our fields.” The lyrics were translated for The Electronic Intifada by independent writer and filmmaker David Sheen and you can watch a subtitled video of the song.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 If Israel is just fighting Hamas, why are they:
