Israel's destruction of Hospitals in Gaza

 Recently, a UN report came out documenting the complete and deliberate destruction of Gaza's health care infrastructure. This was also documented by the IDF soldiers themselves on social media. As this is being typed, hospitals in Northern Gaza are being ordered to evacuate. It seems the final solution for Northern Gaza is at hand, and eventually this doctrine will spread South until there is no more Gaza. 

Once these hospitals in Northern Gaza are taken over by the IDF, they will be burned or detonated. The IDF detonates everything of any value to the Palestinians in Gaza. War crime on war crime, the western media has not once mentioned it. A livestreamed holocaust is unfolding and no one in the West knows about it in detail, or really cares all that much. 

The Turkish cancer hospital and Shifa hospital were key to Gaza's future. Shifa was the largest hospital, and the Turkish hospital was the only dedicated hospital for cancer treatment. Both are now in ruins.

Hezbollah's Weapons During Israel's Invasion of Lebanon

This is an article meant to catalogue weapons as they are seen in Hezbollah media releases during the invasion of Lebanon by Israel in October of 2024 and on. It will be updated as more weapons are seen.

Hezbollah possesses many advanced weapon systems. What's more important, in the author's view, are the rudimentary weapons. As long as rifles, RPGs, mortars and grenades exist it is unlikely that Hezbollah will be defeated completely as Israel has stated is the goal. Syria can supply these basic weapons for decades to come from their stockpiles alone. Even if Iran is entirely rendered militarily defeated, basic weapons such as RPGs and mortars will continue to flow from Syria. 

What's more, the organization of Hezbollah's forces, especially the Radwan forces, are designed to operate independently of a command structure. Assassination of leaders will not defeat them.  They are stationed in small groups with supplies including food and munitions. At least 2,500 Radwan special forces exist, though estimates vary.

Lebanon's Impending Genocide: A Warning to The World

 Lebanon was invaded by Israel in early October of 2024. As this is written, only a few areas close to the border have been captured by the IDF after apparently taking heavy losses. All indications are that this will not be an ordinary military campaign, and it certainly won't be "limited" as the IDF has publicly stated. What is about to happen in Lebanon is a genocide.

Naftali Bennett, Danial Hagari and Benjamin Netanyahu have all made statements that could only indicate a massacre is being planned for Lebanon. The IDF has issued warnings to Lebanese civilians to evacuate dozens of towns on the South and relocate North. If Gaza is any indication, this will become a buffer zone and these civilians will never return to their homes should they leave. However, if they stay they risk indiscriminate shelling. 

The IDF spokeman, Daniel Hagari, presented an animation showing rockets in many building and homes in Lebanon. This cartoonish image of Hezbollah's rocket stockpile is meant to justify the coming attacks on civil infrastructure. The IDF showed similar animations of Shifa hospital in Gaza in late 2023 of extensive tunnels and underground bases. These tunnels and bases did not exist, but Shifa hospital was burned to the ground by the IDF anyway.

Naftali Bennett, the former prime minister made an outrageous statement about Lebanese Shia civilians via Twitter (X). He stated that Shias are paid by Hezbollah to store rockets in their homes and fire them on command. There is no evidence for this. This statement is meant to demonize a religious group and justify the coming wave of atrocities.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the current blood-soaked prime minister, said that if the Lebanese did not cast Hezbollah out Lebanon would become another Gaza. This is a not so thinly vailed threat and an admission that their campaign in Gaza has been barbaric. He wants to instill fear into the Lebanese population and start a sectarian civil war between Shias and other groups. 

These statements will be taken at face value by IDF soldiers on the ground, as we have seen in Gaza. Already, IDF soldiers are razing homes and buildings with explosive charges in Lebanon. Should they capture Southern Lebanon, they will render it an uninhabitable wasteland. The Israeli air force is currently conducting what can on be called terror raids on Beirut and its suburbs. Their primary target is the Shia dominated suburb of Dahiya.

This is a warning to the world. Israel is a mad dog with no checks and balances in place. It seems futile to write this, as we know the outcome. It is a forgone conclusion. Israel will target primarily Shias in Lebanon and their civilian infrastructure with the goal of displacing them. American weapons will continue to flow. This will become possibly the first time a state has engaged in two concurrent genocides. The Palestinians in Gaza and the Shias of Lebanon. 

IDF War Crimes in Lebanon

 In early October of 2024, Israel launched a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. As I write this they have not entered more than several hundred meters. However, the few areas they have captured have been razed to the ground already. This article will be updated as more war crimes occur.

Rafah's Destruction

 In March of 2024, Biden stated that an attack on Rafah was a "red line" for his administration. This was quickly rolled back as bombing incidents in May and June compromised this narrative. As of September 2024, Rafah is in ruins. The IDF has almost completely razed the city to the ground. There is no outrage from the West.

Residential buildings with no military value have been razed with bulldozers, excavators and controlled demolitions using explosives. Even the Rafah water pumping station was detonated to prevent civilians from returning. This is an ethnic cleansing campaign and a genocide, and the Biden administration looks on. 

The Western Propaganda War on Syria

 Western media was involved in an intense disinformation campaign against Syria, Assad and his army from 2011-2020 in particular. As the war subsided, so did Western voices on the subject as they realized their defeat. However, the intense media disinformation blitz cannot be forgiven and cannot be forgotten. 

So called journalists such as Michael Weiss, Charles Lister, Martin Chulov and Hassan Hassan were prominent in the western propaganda mill against Syria during the height of the conflict. They made outlandish claims and outright fabrications to sway public opinion into the favor of Western interests. It was effective in influencing the Western public, but it could ultimately not change things on the ground in Syria.

Michael Weiss is one of the most distasteful liars in Western media circles. His arrogance and unlikability are immediately apparent when he speaks. Weiss has made ridiculous claims that ISIS and the Syrian army were allies and the the Russian air force never struck ISIS. This was his main focus. The irony is, he knew very well that this was not the case.

Weiss had acknowledged the cooperation of the "moderate" Free Syrian Army with ISIS in 2013 in tweets that he has since apparently deleted. In 2013, ISIS did not yet have the negative connotation associated with it. In 2013, it was just another Syrian rebel group. That all changed in 2014 when ISIS took over large swaths of Iraq. At this point, the Western narrative changed. ISIS and the FSA were never allies, in fact, the Syrian army were their allies.  

Lister also parroted this narrative. Much like Weiss, he had acknowledged the cooperation of the FSA with ISIS in 2013. He spoke on it quite extensively in fact. In 2014 he forgot he ever had such an opinion. Both Weiss and Lister backed the narrative that the Russian air force never struck ISIS, but only the Syrian "moderate" rebels. This was obviously false to anyone who kept up with the conflict. ISIS's Amaq news agency frequently published photographs of Russian aircraft striking their positions, particularly from late 2015 to 2017. 

Even more ridiculous was the claim by Weiss, Lister and Hassan that the Syrian air force was not involved in striking ISIS. Amaq news and Syria's media agencies frequently posted photographs and videos of ISIS being targeted. 

Martin Chulov was caught in a lie by the author in one of his stories in The Guardian. Chulov made the claim that a Hezbollah commander gave a speech in the town of al-Ais in September of 2016. There was a problem. Al-Ais had been under rebel control for a few months by that time. It was obvious to the author that no speech had ever taken place. The purpose of Chulov's article was to foment sectarian tensions and paint the Syrian government in a negative, sectarian light.

In one tweet, Weiss stated that ISIS was to the East of Aleppo, and the rebels to the West. He claimed that the Syrian army was attacking the West only. This is ridiculous and he knew it. The battle to break the siege of Kweres air base had occurred months earlier in a major defeat for ISIS at the hands of the Syrian army. In the months that followed Weiss's tweet, ISIS would be entirely pushed out of Aleppo province and into Raqqa province by the Syrian army's Tiger Forces. 

These men are not journalists, but intelligence agency assets hired to spread false information to sway public opinion. It is so cartoonishly Orwellian it almost can't be believed. Only a few Westerners know enough about the Syrian conflict to call these liars on their false claims. To think this disinformation campaign only happened with the Syrian war is foolish. Every war the West backs is based on lies and intentional disinformation. Read the paper and watch the news with a heavy grain of salt.

How Western Media Lied About The Syrian War

 In September of 2016, an article about Southern Aleppo was published in the Guardian, written by Martin Chulov and Kareem Shaheen. In this article, obviously false information was used to fabricate an entire news story. This was immediately apparent to me in 2016 and it weighed heavily on me for the better part of a decade. In September of 2024, I finally rediscovered the article.

In this piece, Martin Chulov claims that an Iraqi Hezbollah commander gave a speech in al-Ais village in Southern Aleppo during September of 2016. The problem with this would not be apparent to anyone but those who had kept hourly tabs on the war and knew the geography of Syria very well. The village of Al-Ais had been under rebel control for a few months by this time. No speech had ever taken place.

It should be obvious to anyone that the media lies about wars and geopolitical issues, but even I was taken aback by this story. In the alleged speech, the commander Akram al-Kaabi cites the koran and historic enemies of Shia muslims surrounded by banner and icons. Of course, no photographic or video evidence of this was presented. The goal of this article was clearly to inflame sectarian tensions and paint the Syrian government in a negative light. This was the goal of most Western media stories on the subject at the time.

Nearly everything written about the Syrian war in the Western media was a lie to some extent. However, this article is so cartoonishly false that it gives a perfect case study on the topic. Chemical weapons were likely never used by the Syrian government. The use of torture by the Syrian government was heavily exaggerated. The Syrian army *did* fight against ISIS and were never allied to them. Russia bombed ISIS heavily. All of this would appear contentious to anyone who read Western news outlets. 

In September of 2024, Martin Chulov was accused of sexual harassment and fired from the Guardian. A man with no moral compass used and then disposed of by the intelligence agency-run Western media who likewise have no morals.
