This is a long extensive article by Professor Hall

I do not share his views at all that Hamas and Netanyahu were working together’

He does not explain the assassinations of prominent Hamas Leaders

Does not explain why Hamas would allow Netanyahu to carry out a Holocaust of their people, their Nation!!?? The whole purpose of their religious group was to SERVE their people

I am not a fan of Muslim Brotherhood ( especially what they did in Syria) but Hamas and its Qassem Brigade are not fighting alone here, working with other Resistance Movements, NOT SACRIFICING their own lives to defend protect and Free their Nation of Israeli tyrannical Occupation. At the beginning they were religious rivals to the Arab Nationalist Movement which Israel did fund to counter Arab Nationalism from groups like The PLO and PFLP which they viewed as a threat to Israeli hegemony but at no stage in this collaboration would Hamas endanger the Life of Palestine

The insinuation in this article is wrong and frankly serves Israeli Hasbara and Propaganda which is dangerous and divisive and is detrimental to the Palestinian cause! Which I take great issue with

Yes he points out at great length Israel’s Genocidal Face but to insinuate and imply a collusion involving Hamas is untenable and goes against the tragic cause of my people

Hamas are NOT USRAELI CREATED ISIS/ Daesh!!!!!

Their own leaders are being assassinated and threatened with the same fate as the latest martyred victim dignified and patriotic Shaikh Al Arouri!!

Very comprehensive, Tony. Thank you for all the research and work you put into this article. I can only add one or two anecdotes.

Several years ago I was lent a copy of “Son of Hamas” by Mosab Hassan Yousef (with Ron Brackin – ghost writer). Recently I also discovered that my own brother had also read it. We had diametrically opposite interpretations and reactions.

Mosab Hassan Yousef identifies himself as the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founder and spiritual leader of Hamas.

I read this before I had ever had any thoughts one way or the other about ‘Palestine’ and certainly years before the current events.

The book starts out with a blood-curdling description of how he [Mosab] was treated by the Israelis (gets your sympathy for the underdog) but then skilfully turns the narrative by describing how much WORSE the Palestinians are to their own kind.

Here are some of passages that started to raise some red flags …

“Two weeks later, on September 11, nineteen Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four jetliners in the United States. Two crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. Another crashed into the Pentagon in Washington. And the fourth went down in a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.”

“The [Park Hotel] explosion killed 30 people and wounded about 140 others. Some were Holocaust survivors.”

“On March 29, I checked into the City Inn Hotel on Nablus Road in Al-Bireh, where the BBC, CNN, and the rest of the international media were housed.”

“[…] I told them. “They’re New York Times best sellers. [] They’re just stories about human experiences.””

“[…] that same month I started a job in the Capacity-Building Office of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Village Water and Sanitation Program, headquartered in Al-Bireh. Long title, I know, but then again, it was a very important project.”

“My job with USAID gave me a certain amount of protection and freedom as well. And the Shin Bet always had my back.”

Mosab Hassan Yousef (aka the Green Prince) doesn’t come across the slightest bit sincere or genuine to me.

More recently he has been contributing to the jewish atrocity propaganda.

Thanks Julius for digging into the Zionist caper named Mosab Hassan. When I first saw him in a video it was clear to be its a psy op. A Christian Zionist friend of mine had sent me the the video trying to counter my effort to guilt trip her for being a fan of baby killing genocidaires. Then I saw the sad Mosab being interviewed by Laura Lynne, a Christian Zionist broadcaster who came to prominence in Canada reporting some of the Covidian atrocities.

I've noticed a lot of the venues here in Alberta that were good on COVID have crashed. Since October 7 it seems they have joined MSM to lead the charge to support Israel in its genocidal actions and aspirations. Anyway you've gone into it more deeply than me. The Mosab narrative integrating the lies and crimes of 9/11, demonstrates the problems that arise for us from not having closed off that sequence of lies to support the current sequence of lies. In the well funded psychological operation of the Global War on Terror there must have been lots of Mosab Hassan types helping to develop the narratives of other Muslim patsies, assets, and mercenaries, the kind of thing that must have been integral to Netanyahu's long career in office.

Yes, my take is that 10/7 is that it was a false flag and that Hamas is at least an Israeli asset. We'll never know what the truth is. I think the Palestinians have been trapped in a no-win situation for forever. The Israelis have been false flagging them since the beginning. I no longer even believe in the suicide bombers that we heard about

Fwiw, an Israeli and ex-Israeli studied some of the 10/7 footage, and they say there was at least ONE ISRAELI speaking Hebrew and directing Hamas:

The ‘Blue Shirts’ of October 7. The Wall of Jericho, “The Mysterious Case of the Men with the Light Blue Shirts”Some of the Hamas field Commanders on the day of the attack were NOT Palestinians or even Arabs & at least one was almost certainly Israeli!

https://www.globalresearch.ca/blue-shirts-october-7/5842785

I watched some of the footage of Hamas taking out Israeli tanks here:

https://www.winterwatch.net/2024/01/robert-phoenix-and-russ-winter-update-ww-zog-and-kompromat/

Russ Winter said Hamas really knows how to use their weapons. Well how is this possible? Where were they doing training? I thought Israel monitored everything and controlled everything that goes in and out of there. I honestly don't know how to make sense of this. Maybe there are some Hamas who believe they are doing what's best for Palestine, but clearly 10/7 did not benefit the Palestinians.

I don't even understand how those tunnels got built. I've listened to lots of Max Igan videos, and he says that Israel controls everything that goes in and out of there. Did Israel allow the tunnel complex to be built, so that could be the cover story for bombing the hell out of Gaza?

I believe this is ultimately for the Jewish City of London banking cabal that rules over all of us. Their global debt-based fiat ponzi scheme financial system is headed for a collapse, so they need a massive war (world war 3) to keep the system propped up for a bit longer, until it collapses and they usher in their digital slave grid (CBDCs).

And fwiw, I regularly listen to Greg Mannarino (financial expert) and he knew 10/7 was a false flag, because on the Fri before, markets were tanking, then suddenly something happened and money started pouring into the market, with major institutions (hedge funds) making big bets. So are we supposed to believe that Hamas has Wall Street connections?

My heart breaks for Palestine.

Thanks Sandra for this rich and thoughtful assessment of the 10/7 Trigger event to justify a US-Israel Military Operation that is escalating into a regional conflict quickly. I was surprised to learn from my research in Israeli sources about the alleged close interactions between Hamas and Netanyahu for many years. Might they have cooperated in the prelude to October 7 to each pursue opposite agendas that nevertheless have fed enabled one other in weird ways?

Thinking of the interactions of Netanyahu and Hamas caused me to think of this local case study as a kind of case study to better understand the dynamics of the so-called War on Terror. Its terrible to see to contemplate 9/11 as a strategy for poisoning many minds against the billions of Muslims and of Arab people in the world with special attention given to the demonization of the Palestinians, The whole manufactured atrocity propaganda going on in Israel now shows how easy it is to flick on switches to instigate Islamophobia.

I'm still working on this, trying to wrap my head around what's really going on. I actually saw a translated video with a Hamas fighter on why he fights--and it felt very sincere and genuine. I'm just thinking that Mossad probably has infiltrated them, and guides them in some way (Israel infiltrates everything)

Also, I forgot to drop this link:

https://www.sott.net/article/297494-The-Myth-Of-The-Palestinian-Suicide-Bomber

I think most of the world, just goes by the headlines and assumes the news is true, but when you take a more detailed look, it seems like official stories fall apart. I think the Israelis are so brainwashed (to the point of psychopathy) that they have no idea their own govt has been false flag terrorizing them for decades.

Psychotic Zionist Israelis are so emmersed in their orgy of hatred thay have not paused to consider that all these tik toks and videos will one day be used to convict them and, I am guessing, played back in the lead-up to their executions. Actually, I suspect many thousands of Israelis will die badly long before new authorities can get to them.

This concerns me.

Why? Am I so soft-hearted? No. I am very concerned because the word 'Israeli' encompasses a vast spectrum of ethinic and religious entities. But I will be simplictic. Many Israelis are Palestinians. 85% are non-Asknenazim Jews... that is... Sephardi, Misrahim. Italikim. and the dozen other actual Jewish Semites whose ancestors originate in Palestine. I have no idea how they fit into the genocide.

Clearly. Iran, Hezbolah, and Hamas know this reality only too well. They do not want to kill the innocent, therefore they are hamstrung. They cannot simply flatten Israel, although they have the capacity, backed as they are by Syria, South Africa, Turkey, Iran, Russia, China and a vast army of BRICS participants.

If anyone can enlighten me of the relationship between non-Zionist Israelis and the Gaza/West Bank genocide, this would be most appreciated. tonyryan43@gmail.com

That is a real shot in the dark. How can izrahell's Holocaust ever be stopped let alone have the war criminals tried, let alone hung? They are a new junior usa. Serial usa Holocausts, serial Class A usa war criminal prezes and what has ever been done to them in a legal sense. That the usa had the gall to try Nazi "war criminals" just highlights how crazy this world is. The greatest gangster "nations" with all their evil deeds are looked upon as dandy nations when, one, nothing is further from the truth and two, they constantly bad mouth the most sane, generous, humane, ... nations of the world. Like Russia, China and the other BRICS nations.

Dan... I accept your admonishment with humbleness, knowing that history is on your side. But just let me say, I am very well acquainted with the real history of Germany, and of China, and of North Korea, and even Taiwan, and my 1970 publication that blew the whistle on Israel's fraudulent occupation attracted one of many attempted reprisals. And yet here I am, and they are all dead.

I carry grudges, and I am very far from being one of the civilised and decent human beings who are so shocked by Israel's crimes and who turn to the treacherous judiciary for justice. This is my way of saying, justice will prevail, or I will be dead. The latter appears far from being imminent.

Nothing personal towards you was intended at all, Tony. The central issue, the salient issue is that the usa is the problem in the world.

"In 2023, the US had 750 military bases in 80 countries. The United States has so many bases partly because it became a global peacekeeper after World War II."

The 2nd sentence is a total lie, the usa has NEVER EVER been a "peacekeeper". It is in 80 nations with 750 bases SOLELY so it can rape & pillage the planet.

There is a really important reason why BRICS is growing so fast and that is because ALL NATIONS of the world, the ones that have seen, are seeing usa rape & pillage join to ensure, try to ensure that usa R&P ends.

No argument from me, Dan. But your figure of 750 is incorrect. That quote is 10 years old. Australia now has sixteen US bases on the mainland and many other captive nations share this experience, such as the Philippines. Under Duterte, there was Subic Bay, if at all. Now there are several, under Bong Bong Marcos, ramped up under Jake Sullivan and 44 incompetent but power-hungry 4-star Generals of the Pentagon. I have been writing about US military hegemony since 1964, so you are preaching to the converted.

Do you have a link to the actual numbers of usa bases abroad, Tony?

I believe, my opinion, is that "hegemony" does not come remotely close to accurately describing usa evil. Far far far worse than the Nazis ever were.

Hi Dan

Some things I do not bother documenting because they are so widely known by analysts as diverse as Pepe Escobar, Scott Ritter, Col Douglas McGregor, Col Larry Wilkerson, George Gallaway, and dozens of others; who also observe each other intently.

The figure fluctuates these days, for example, several in Africa will be closed down before Wagner destroys them. Several will close in the Middle East when the US attacks Iran and is attacked in turn by Russia, China, and Turkey.

I am speculating, of course. But some elements have measurable substance; for example, following a seven-year campaign, a handful of Aboriginal Law men and women, and I, forced the US to remove an illegal missile launching platform from Gulkula, North East Arnhem Land, in the north of Australia.

With a bit of luck, we will eventually force the removal of the other fifteen bases in the Northern Territory.

What kind of collective therapy will be required to bring back the basis of civil society in Israel?

You ask?

Now, how's that working out for the Indian Country, as the USA calls out any new land they land their STD riddled militaries?

Remember, Vietnam, and that use of the term ? Reappropriated by more mental midgets? "Indian country" is used by "soldiers, military strategists, reporters, and World Wide Web users to refer to hostile, unsecured, and dangerous territory in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Here, this vile STD of the white Jewish racists? This is real emblematic of Jewis Psychiatry, 21st Century style:

Israeli psychotherapist Ayelet Shmuel spoke as the expert panelist on a stage of D-list celebrities to give her educated opinion on the mental state of Palestinians. If you thought the blood-curdling vile propaganda from Israelis couldn’t get any more sickening, just wait until you hear this.

“I am not okay with living across the border of 30,000 rapists,” she said to applause. “When I used to live in the US, every time I would move to a different place I would look at a map and see if there are any pedophiles around me. Where I live now, I’m like three miles away from 20,000 of them. Enough is enough and never again means never again.”

Oh, those friends and foes -- Noreiga, Saddam, Ngo Dinh Diem, bin Laden, all the culprits who matriculated from Fort Benning's US School of Assassins?

Shit, so, which fucked up Western Country hasn't helped COINTELPRO this or that group?

Which form of John "Winter Soldier" Kerry do we prefer?

We've footed the bill for the digital and pharma pantopica since before there were Good Little Germans in Klanada and U$A parting curtains to spy on their neighbors.

Good lengthy piece, Anthony. Gracias.

Has anyone ever heard the zionists' Palestinian Holocaust described as the Holocaust it is? The preacher in the video, above, calls it a genocide, but as far as I have listened, he failed to use the much more accurate word HOLOCAUST, the zionists' Palestinian Holocaust, not one of a few years but one that is more than a century including the planning stages.

The evidence is OVERWHELMING, much of it in the zionists' own words, coming, started [in earnest] right after the German Holocaust ended. The word or words to describe this level of ongoing inhumanity fail me. I cannot think of a parallel evil this evil tho' I do know of many of the most evil events in world history. Does anyone else think it strange, weird, ... how the world's historical top Holocausters have all so diligently aided and abetted this ongoing zionist Holocaust aided and abetted since the Nakba by all white "christian" nations?

Did any Nazi leaders ever admit their crimes like the zionists have?

If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?

Dear Prof Hall, after Oct 7th, I wrote a simple line: False flags work. Also, for the event to be effective, people need to die, especially civilians. I heard a rumour that the venue for the rave was changed about 24 hours before. Regardless, the overall optics served the purpose for gaining public and international support to punish Hamas. At the same time we have documented testimony by released hostages who have shared their very humane treatment by Hamas. It seems clear that the purpose of the prison break was to get hostages for the purpose of negations, for the release of hostages in Israeli jails and also termination of the brutal seize on Gaza. Were their elements of Hamas in collusion with Netanyahu et al.? I don't know. Regardless, it is painfully obvious the goal of this false flag was to initiate the final phase of the brutal ethnic cleansing. The Palestinians in a super-human capacity, still wish to reclaim their land and rebuild it. I have never seen such courage and strength in my life. Thank you for this excellent piece and for sharing Maisoon's comment below.
