🇮🇱👁‍🗨: DIA Intel Officer Latest in String of Resignations Over US Support for Israel

Internal strife is growing across the US government as Washington continues to assert support for Israel is ‘ironclad’

A former US Army officer issued a letter on 13 May explaining that his resignation in November was over his nation’s “unqualified support” for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Major Harrison Mann is the first known official at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to resign over the US support for Israel.

Speaking about the role of the DIA office, he notes that it not only overlooks but enforces the policies that enable unchecked violence against Palestinians.

His resignation letter cites "the nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel, which has enabled & empowered killing & starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians...& encourages reckless escalation that risks wider war."....

Mann emphasized that his work brought him “incredible shame and guilt” after mulling over the connection of his position to the images coming out of Gaza.

“I hoped if I held on a little longer, the war would be over,” Mann wrote in justification for why he kept his position following the start of Israel’s aggressions on Gaza. “I hoped time and again that the latest ‘outrage’ would finally prompt a material shift in support for Israel.”

“Above all, I was afraid. Afraid of violating our professional norms. Afraid of disappointing officers I respect. Afraid you would feel betrayed,” he said.

Defying West, Russia's Putin Set to Meet Xi Jinping in Beijing

Russian President Vladimir Putin's Beijing visit on Thursday (May 16) is likely to be light on hard deals but will mark the start of his new presidential term with a show of support from his most powerful political partner, Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

Putin's two-day mission is expected to highlight the pair's vaunted "no limits" partnership in defiance from pressure from the United States over Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The Chinese foreign ministry confirmed Putin's trip on Tuesday (May 14), saying Xi and Putin would exchange views on ties and "international and regional issues of common concern."

While diplomats and analysts expect Putin to push Xi for further support for Russia's war economy, from machines and chemicals to help its military industries to more discounted oil and gas purchases, Putin's trip is likely to be heavily symbolic of a shared world view centred on countering a U.S.-led order.

"China is Russia's strategic partner—this is the path chosen by the president of Russia and the leader of China—and nothing is going to change that no matter what the West tries to say or do," a Russian official said on condition of anonymity.

In an interview with China's news agency Xinhua published early on Wednesday (May 15), Putin backed China's plan for a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis, saying Beijing had a full understanding of what lay behind it.

America's 'Bunker-Buster' Bomb Production to Triple as World Fractures Into Dangerous Multi-Polar State

Munitions stockpiles are running low across the West, whether in Europe or the United States. Supplying Ukraine with arms in its war against Russia has forced Western militaries and defense firms to either make plans or begin boosting the production of bombs, missiles, artillery shells, and suicide drones.

On Tuesday (May 14), the US Air Force announced a tripling in its monthly production of the giant 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator, known as the "bunker-buster." It's the largest non-nuclear bomb the US has in its stockpiles and can only be deployed by a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

Bloomberg was among the first to report an increase in bunker-buster bomb production, citing a USAF statement: "Will significantly increase production as needed."

Officials at the facility told Bloomberg journos during a March tour by General Charles Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that new bunker-buster bomb production could rise from currently two, to as many as six or possibly eight bombs per month.

Ukraine isn't the only conflict area draining Western supplies of munitions. The US has been supplying Israel with bombs and missiles as the conflict with Hamas rages on. And there's a further risk of broadening conflict in the region with Iran. Let's not forget China and the South China Sea.

Israel Launched Eight Attacks on Aid Groups Since October: Report

Israel's army spokesman claimed one of the attacks was due to 'misidentification' despite clear communications on the aid group's location

Israeli forces have conducted at least eight airstrikes on aid workers and facilities in Gaza since October despite direct communication with the groups, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a report released on 14 May.

“Israeli authorities did not issue advance warnings to any of the aid organizations before the strikes, which killed or injured at least 31 aid workers and those with them,” the report reads.

“The eight incidents reveal fundamental flaws with the so-called deconfliction system, meant to protect aid workers and allow them to safely deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance in Gaza,” the HRW report continues.

US Military Completes Installation of Gaza Pier, Says Aid To Start Flowing Within Days

The US military has finished installing a floating pier for the Gaza Strip, the US Central Command says, with officials poised to begin ferrying humanitarian aid into the enclave via the sea.

US troops anchored the pier at 7:40 a.m. local time, CENTCOM says in a statement, stressing that none of its forces entered the Gaza Strip.

“Trucks carrying humanitarian assistance are expected to begin moving ashore in the coming days,” the statement says. “The United Nations will receive the aid and coordinate its distribution into Gaza.”

It isn’t immediately clear which UN agency will be involved.

Israeli forces will be in charge of security on the shore, but there are also two US Navy warships near the area in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the USS Arleigh Burke and the USS Paul Ignatius. Both ships are destroyers equipped with a wide range of weapons and capabilities to protect American troops off shore and allies on the beach.

Israel Will ‘Set Sights’ on Turkiye if Hamas Defeated: Erdogan

Despite harsh public criticism of Israeli officials, Ankara has been slow to end its lucrative trade ties with Tel Aviv

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned on 15 May that Israel would “target” Turkiye if victorious against the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip.

“Israel will not stop in Gaza, and if not stopped, this rogue state will eventually target Anatolia with its delusions of a promised land,” Erdogan said during a parliamentary group meeting in Ankara
“We will continue to stand by Hamas, which fights for the independence of its own land and which defends Anatolia,” the Turkish president stressed.

“On Nakba, the Day of Catastrophe, we once again declare with all our being and resources that we stand by Palestine and the Palestinian cause … We will also ensure that the perpetrators of genocide face justice,” Erdogan added.

For the past several months, the Turkish president has harshly criticized Israeli authorities for the ongoing genocide in Gaza. However, his actions trailed far behind his words, as it took over six months for Ankara to end its highly lucrative trade ties with Israel.

Days after announcing a trade freeze, the Turkish government partially walked back its decision by issuing temporary approval for the supply of construction materials to Israel. Ankara has also refrained from obstructing the flow of oil from neighboring Azerbaijan to Israel.

For its part, Tel Aviv has been quietly returning diplomats to Turkiye in recent weeks after withdrawing them months ago over “security concerns.”

Nevertheless, Turkish officials continue to send mixed signals, as earlier this week, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said his country decided to submit its declaration of official intervention in South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Israel systematically killing thousands of innocent Palestinians and rendering a whole residential area uninhabitable is a crime against humanity, attempted genocide, and the manifestation of genocide," Fidan told reporters.

Leaked Documents Reveal Biden’s Own Officials See Him as Complicit in Gaza’s Devastating Famine

President Joe Biden and his administration have been accused of being complicit in enabling a famine in Gaza by failing to sufficiently act on repeated warnings from their own experts and aid agencies.

Interviews with current and former US Agency for International Development (USAID) and State Department officials, aid agencies working in Gaza and internal USAID documents reveal that the administration rejected or ignored pleas to use its leverage to persuade its ally Israel—the recipient of billions of dollars of US military support—to allow sufficient humanitarian aid into Gaza to stop the famine taking hold.

The former officials say the US also provided diplomatic cover for Israel to create the conditions for famine by blocking international efforts to bring about a ceasefire or alleviate the crisis, making the delivery of aid almost impossible.

“This is not just turning a blind eye to the man-made starvation of an entire population, it is direct complicity,” former State Department official Josh Paul, who resigned over US support for the war, told The Independent.

Pure Theater: The Biden–Netanyahu ’Fallout’ Over Rafah

Despite public disagreements between Washington and Tel Aviv over Gaza, ongoing US–Israel weapon supplies suggest that the discord is more media spectacle than policy shift.

With Israel appearing determined to launch a large-scale military operation in Rafah to reverse its current image of defeat in Gaza, another public confrontation – between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – intensified last week.

Biden claims to have halted the shipment of precision weapons to Israel to prevent a large operation in southern Gaza, where around 1.3 million displaced Palestinian civilians have sought shelter, while Netanyahu threatens to continue the war without Washington’s help.

In a CNN interview last week, the US president said, “I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem.”

To which Netanyahu responded that same evening, in a podcast discussion with American Jewish journalist Dan Senor, “If we have to stand alone, we will do so, because I’m the prime minister of Israel, the one and only Jewish state, and we will not go down.”

At first glance, the growing tensions between the two allies playing out in the political and media arenas seemed promising for those parties keen on ending the Palestinian bloodshed seven months after Tel Aviv launched its brutal assault on Gaza.

But the Israeli premier, who has often been caught on camera boasting about Israel’s control over the US political scene, may have won this round. Within just a few days, Biden’s warnings and threats all but dissipated.

It began with a flurry of American politicians hitting the TV circuit to lambast their sitting president for veering from Israel’s war agenda, with some US media outlets describing Biden’s decision as “encouraging antisemitism.”

US ambassador to Tel Aviv, Jack Lew, following the script of his Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, confirmed on Sunday that “fundamentally, nothing has changed in the basic relationship” – that only one batch of US munitions was frozen, but everything else continues to flow “ordinarily.”

And Biden’s meek initiative ended decisively on Tuesday when his administration informed Congress that it is planning a $1 billion weapons transfer to Israel... Continue Reading⤵️

Renowned Jewish Scholar Detained at Detroit Airport, Interrogated by FBI on His Pro-Gaza Views

Israeli academic Ilan Pappe, a renowned Jewish philosopher and historian, reports being detained at Detroit Metro Airport after arriving in the U.S. on Monday (May 13) and interrogated by the FBI for two hours.

Amongst the questions, he was asked whether he was a Hamas supporter and whether he regarded the Israeli assault on Gaza as a "genocide."

Their inquiries were "really out of the world," Pappe said, touching on topics such as his views on Israeli actions in Gaza and his Muslim friends in America.

"Who are my Arab and Muslim friends in America...how long do I know them, what kind of relationship I have with them," was among the questions they relayed to Pappe.

Another question, he indicated, was, "Am I a Hamas supporter? do I regard the Israeli actions in Gaza a genocide? what is the solution to the "conflict" [seriously this what they asked!]."

The New York Times is now just laundering straight Israeli intelligence propaganda under the guise of "journalism". Yesterday they published a piece titled "The secret Hamas files".

Ronen Bergman, who served in Israeli military intelligence before being hired by the New York Times and has been acting as their main "reporter" on the ongoing Gaza genocide, wrote it based on documents given to him by Israeli intelligence, literally citing whatever anonymous Israeli intelligence agents tell him, and doing straight Mossad propaganda without even a hint of shame.

The other author of the piece is Adam Rasgon, who worked for the Jerusalem Post, a deranged Zionist propaganda rag that claimed killed Palestinian babies were fake dolls and "verified" the 40 beheaded babies hoax. He also worked at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a Zionist Israel lobby propaganda front founded by AIPAC. In October he co-wrote a deranged screed in the New Yorker putting a kill target on every journalist in Gaza by smearing them all as "Hamas propagandists" (see this thread: https://twitter.com/SanaSaeed/status/1719481693826875483).

Just look at the byline: "Ronen Bergman, reporting from Tel Aviv, and Adam Rasgon, reporting from Jerusalem." Both served in the Israeli military, with again Bergman serving in military intelligence. Both are deeply committed Zionists, having spent their entire lives devoted to explicitly doing propaganda for Israel. And both are being presented by the New York Times as just neutral objective reporters literally laundering an Israeli propaganda operation as they themselves admit openly in the piece. Why wouldn't they? They know nothing will happen to them. This is par for the course. This is why they were hired. It's their job to launder explicit Israeli propaganda operations.

This is considered "journalism" by the New York Times. And everyone in the media class thinks this is perfectly normal, and just gave Bergman a Pulitzer.

Gaza 2035: Netanyahu Hatches Plan to Raze and Rebuild Enclave

Israeli businessmen close to the prime minister wish to turn a destroyed Gaza into a regional trade and industrial hub under Israeli control and exploiting Palestinian natural gas and cheap labor

Documents published online lay out Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s post-war vision for the Gaza Strip, known as “Gaza 2035,” the Jerusalem Post reported on 3 May.

The plan involves keeping Gaza under long-term Israeli security control, making major investments to rebuild the devastated enclave “from nothing” with Gulf assistance, turning Gaza into a regional trade and energy hub, and exploiting cheap Palestinian labor and natural gas for the benefit of Israeli business interests.

The document refers to Gaza as an “Iranian outpost” that “sabotages emerging supply chains” while euphemistically claiming it “thwarts any future hope for the Palestinian people.”

According to the document, the plan involves three steps.

The first step is planned to last 12 months and will see Israel create “safe areas free of Hamas control” in Gaza, starting first in the north and moving to the south.

Gazan Palestinians will run the safe zones under the supervision of a coalition of Arab states, which would be responsible for providing humanitarian aid.

Step two would last five to 10 years. The Israeli military will retain control of the strip, while the Arab states will be responsible for reconstruction under a newly established Gaza Rehabilitation Authority (GRA), and Palestinians will manage the safe areas.

Reconstruction efforts will involve “rebuilding from nothing” and designing new cities from scratch, featuring modern designs and planning. This implies that the Israeli military will continue to destroy much, if not all, of Gaza through bombing and controlled demolition.

Stage three would see Palestinians “self-govern” a demilitarized Gaza while Israel retains the right to act against “security threats.”

The final step, the Jerusalem Post notes, would be for the Palestinians to “fully manage Gaza independently” and join the Abraham Accords, an agreement binding several existing Arab states in an alliance with Israel.

The Jerusalem Post claims that the plan would benefit Palestinians in Gaza by offering them employment opportunities and eventual “self-governance” – under continued Israeli security control.

Many Israeli politicians have called for all of Gaza’s 2.3 million people to be forcibly expelled to Egypt or Europe. But the plan apparently calls for some to remain in Gaza as a source of cheap labor.

The Jerusalem Post says the plan would benefit the Gulf states by offering them “defensive pacts with the US and unfettered access to Gaza’s Mediterranean ports through railways and pipelines.”

The plan aims to turn Gaza into a significant industrial port on the Mediterranean, facilitating the export of Gazan goods, Saudi oil, and other raw materials from the Gulf....

Israel would tap the natural gas fields off the coast of Gaza to provide the energy needed for industrial manufacturing. Israel has blocked the development of the fields, which legally belong to Palestinians, for decades.

The Jerusalem Post adds that the plan included a proposal to manufacture electric cars in the free trade zone and complete with “cheap Chinese manufacturing,” further suggesting cheap Palestinian labor from Gaza would be critical to the proposal.

Israeli business interests would likely benefit most...

NYT added that the officials said the plan was “under consideration at the highest levels of Israel’s government.”

Any Israeli plan for post-war Gaza would also need to accommodate the demands of Israel’s far-right religious settler community, which demands colonizing Gaza and constructing Jewish settlements there after the war.

North Carolina Could Ban Face Masks in Public

🇺🇸😷@COVID19Up: The North Carolina state Senate voted along party lines Wednesday (May 15) to ban anyone from wearing masks in public, even for health reasons.

Republican supporters of the ban said it would help law enforcement crack down on protesters who wear masks. They say demonstrators are abusing COVID-19 pandemic-era practices to hide their identities following a wave of pro-Palestine protests nationwide and at North Carolina universities.

The bill goes even further and repeals an exception that’s been state law since the early stages of the pandemic that allows people to wear masks in public for health and safety reasons.

30 senators voted in favor of House Bill 237, while 15 opposed it and 5 were absent.

Iran, India Move Forward With Port Deal in Face of US Sanctions

India seeks to expand trade to Russia and Europe via the port, while Iran wishes to bypass US sanctions

India expects to secure a “long-term arrangement” with Iran to manage the Iranian port of Chabahar, Reuters reported on 13 May, as India seeks to expand exports to central Asia and Europe.

India has been developing part of the port in Chabahar on Iran’s southeastern coast to export goods to Iran, Afghanistan, and central Asian countries while bypassing Pakistani ports in Karachi and Gwadar. India and Pakistan have been enemies since the partition of British-occupied India created the Muslim state of Pakistan in 1947.

Thus far, India has managed the Chabahar port under short-term contracts, which must be renewed regularly. The uncertainty about future operations this has caused, and the complications of engaging in trade with Iran due to US sanctions, has discouraged significant investment in the port.

“As and when a long-term arrangement is concluded, it will clear the pathway for bigger investments to be made in the port,” Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar told reporters in Mumbai.

A source speaking with Reuters said Indian Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal is traveling to Iran to witness the signing of a “crucial contract” that would ensure a long-term lease of the port to India.

The contract is expected to last ten years and will give India management control over a part of the port.

Expanded trade via the Chabahar port will help India expand trade to both central Asia and Europe.

Business Standard reports that Chabahar is also part of the proposed International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a mixed sea and land transport route linking the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea via Iran and onward to northern Europe via Saint Petersburg in Russia.

Exporting goods through the INSTC via Chabahar Port is expected to reduce transit times between India and Europe by 15 days compared to the Suez Canal route.

Chabahar will also allow Iran to bypass US sanctions and allow Afghanistan better access to the Indian Ocean.
