ATTN PRESIDENT BIDEN: THE SOLUTION ABBAS REALLY WANTS ...... AND IT'S NOT A TWO-STATE SOLUTION
'From the river to the sea' is the solution Abbas seeks
ERDOGAN SEES HIMSELF AS THE SUCCESSOR OF SALADIN AND SULEIMAN THE MAGNIFICENT
Erdogan: Prepare for the '1000 boat flotilla'
He created the impression of wanting to get closer to Israel, and even met with Herzog and Netanyahu, but then came the October 7 massacre that had the Turkish president revert to the position of supporting terrorist organizations.

Erdogan sees himself as the successor of Saladin and Suleiman the Magnificent
In another era, just a few months ago, on the eve of October 7, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan still spent much of his time intensely courting Israel. The motive was transparent: Erdogan believed Israel held the key, especially financially, to the heart and pocket of the United States. The Turkish President did not cease reconciliation declarations, sent emissaries, and spoke of turning a new page. For one short moment, it seemed Erdogan was putting aside his Hamas ideological bent and was guided by Turkey's interests.
For one short moment, Erdogan here seemed to have forgotten the flotillas that tried to break through the blockade on Gaza and the Mavi Marmara affair, his hostile activity on the Temple Mount which his people stirred up, the Turkish attempts to take over buildings and compounds in Jerusalem's Old City, and above all -- the safe haven he provided Hamas murderers for many long years in Istanbul and elsewhere in Turkey, from where Hamas directed many attacks in Israel; from where it managed a financial empire and money flowed almost unchecked to terror and terrorists. Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Netanyahu met with him, and Erdogan was almost whitewashed anew, but then the massacre occurred, Israel went to war, and Erdogan's fanatic ideology prevailed over Turkey's interests.
Recently, after he insisted Hamas is not a terrorist organization, after calling Netanyahu the "butcher" of Gaza and even coming out with his own prediction: "The days are approaching when we will defeat Israeli aggression in Gaza," the real Erdogan, who was always here, reared his head –, but this time without masks and filters.
Erdogan, who sees himself as the successor of Saladin and Suleiman the Magnificent, and the Turks as their "grandchildren", naturally stepped into the shoes of benefactor and protector of the "Muslim Brotherhood" worldwide. He now speaks again of the Ottoman Empire, harking back to the sister cities over which it once ruled: Mecca, Medina, Cairo, Alexandria, Beirut, Damascus, Diyarbakir, Istanbul, and Ankara, and in the same breath mentions Gaza, Jerusalem, Ramallah, Rafah and Nablus. They were all his sisters.
As long as it's just sharp rhetoric and symbols – Erdogan threatens Israel not to dare eliminate senior Hamas officials on his territory, and fosters educational institutions where children shout "Jerusalem is our religion!" and "Israel is the enemy!", and reintroduces in his official receptions of foreign leaders, guard units wearing attire representing the Ottoman Empire soldiers, and not the Presidential Guard of Honor – Israel and the West can live with it.
But in Turkey, where posters with the portrait of a Hamas spokesman now hang in the streets, and where the martyrs of Gaza, including Turkish volunteers, star on local networks, is now starting to translate into actions the megalomania and Erdogan's madness, and this has several expressions.
Remember the Marmara flotilla that ended deadly and embarrassed Israel on the world stage? Now an initiative is being organized in Turkey to assemble 1,000 ships from around the world. According to the plan, they will sail towards Gaza to break the Israeli "blockade" of the Strip. This flotilla, according to early planning, was supposed to set sail on November 23rd (a month ago), to challenge Israel and its navy, but there has been a delay.
The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, which is tracking this organization, reports that these are small boats with 6-8 people aboard each and that the purpose of the flotilla is to paralyze Israel's maritime supply line to Gaza for a week or ten days. The flotilla is supposed to include 4,500 people from 40 countries. Most of the participants are from Russia –313 ships, and from Spain 104 ships. Only 12 Turkish boat owners will participate in the flotilla, but the organization is Turkish.
On November 22, dozens of Palestinian solidarity organizations and civil society institutions from around the world convened in Istanbul. They announced the launch of the "International Campaign to Save Gaza." One of the central bodies that participated in this event was the "Freedom Flotilla Coalition," which is currently working to purchase several cargo ships in order to deliver aid to Gaza residents. Zaher Birawi, who is the chairman of the campaign's preparatory committee, is a Palestinian activist living in Britain and associated with the Muslim Brotherhood movement and Hamas. He estimated (according to the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center) that these ships, including a Norwegian ship, would also set out towards Gaza.
In Israel, officials are already examining whether it is possible to act through judicial means against this initiative, and the scope of action within which the IDF and security agencies can operate in an attempt to thwart, or at least damage, the "1,000-ship flotilla." The PR damage potential for Israel in a blatant clash with this flotilla can be enormous, especially when Israel is fighting for continued legitimacy in the war on Hamas. In the meantime, several covert actions have already delayed the departure of the ships to Israel, but Biraoui and the organizations have not given up.
Another front Turkey under Erdogan is now trying to reignite is Jerusalem, focusing on the Old City and the Temple Mount. One of the means to do so is to revive the male and female Islamic activists (Morabitun and Morabitat) who have stirred up the violent Muslim riots over the years and harassed Jewish visitors there. Two weeks ago, two leaders of Morabitat were released from Israeli prison as part of a hostage deal with Hamas, and elements in east Jerusalem identified with Turkey already want to have them once again take an active role.
These are Hanadi Halawani and Khadija Khweis, both teachers at the Islamic School for Girls operating on the Temple Mount, both with a rich background within the banned Morabitat organization. Halawani and Khweis are affiliated with Hamas and with the northern branch of the Islamic Movement which operated the Morabitat, and both were the driving force behind countless attempts to thwart Jewish visits to the Temple Mount and harm the visitors themselves.
From prisoner exchange deals to the Temple Mount
Halawani, known by the nom de guerre "Al Aqsa's Charm", wrote after the massacre that what was before 10/7 will no longer be and that this is a historic day. "Be part of the victory in your countries and reserve a seat on the victory bus," recommended Halawani, founder of the "Studies in the paths of Al Aqsa" project, operated with the aid of one of the institutions of the Muslim Brotherhood. Her comrade, Khweis, a resident of Az-Zaim, was arrested dozens of times and repeatedly banned from the Temple Mount. Two weeks after the massacre she was arrested on suspicion of incitement and supporting terror. Both initiated visits in the past to the homes of terrorists' mothers. Now they are free again, and elements identified with Turkey in east Jerusalem seek to revive Morabitat activity on the Temple Mount, along with purchase attempts of properties surrounding the area, in Jerusalem's Old City.
The story of the Temple Mount is a story that has not been talked about much since the war began. Ostensibly the area is quiet, and Israel works operationally and intelligently to keep it that way going forward.
What the public in Israel does not know is that a central part of the indoctrination undergone by the Nukhba terrorists – the perpetrators of the massacre in October – dealt with the Al-Aqsa Mosque, its "desecration" by Israel, the "defilement of its Muslim sanctity" and the religious duty to "redeem it from its Jewish infidel captors." The Nukhba terrorists who were captured also talk about this in their interrogations, and it turns out that it was not for nothing that Hamas named its operation "Al-Aqsa Flood."
It turns out, therefore, that the most popular and prevalent motive for attacks over the past 15 years – the false claim "Al-Aqsa is in danger" – has become a central part of the ideological brainwashing that Hamas gave its people before the massacre.
The professor who was expelled by Hamas
Erdogan has also promoted this fabrication over the years and has helped propagate it. At the same time, he contributed money to replace the old, faded crescent moon atop the Dome of the Rock with a new, flashy gold one, sent the head of Turkey's Presidency for Religious Affairs, Mehmet Görmez, to lead the Laylat Al-Qadr prayer on the Temple Mount, and incorporated Jerusalem as a station on the Hajj pilgrimage route to Mecca.
Turkish money from the "Our Heritage" NGO, as well as from the Turkish governmental organization Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency made its way to funding a transport system for Israeli Arabs to the Temple Mount and also reached the Murabitun (men) and Murabitat (women). These were the vanguard in the grand dream of Erdogan and his Sheikh Raed Salah (head of the northern faction of the Islamic Movement); the dream of the global Islamic caliphate, in which Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa were intended to play a central role. Now the Turks, with the help of elements in east Jerusalem, are trying to revive the Murabitat activity on the mountain as well as attempting to purchase properties surrounding the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem.
A third practical aspect, beyond the inciting rhetoric and public backing that Hamas is currently receiving from Erdogan, is related to Hamas' money trail, in which elements in Turkey have been directly involved over the years, with the government's knowledge there. Israel has reason to believe that in the wake of the war, as Erdogan has chosen sides, there will be an attempt to reactivate these conduits. Over the past few weeks, the US, UK, and Israel have collaborated to impose economic sanctions on dozens of senior Hamas officials who took part, and perhaps are still part, of this money transfer operation. The goal: stopping the flow of funds to Hamas. Many of the Hamas senior officials now sanctioned have stayed in Turkey over the years. Some of them have since relocated to Qatar and Lebanon.
According to the Shin Bet security agency data, Erdogan allowed Hamas to maintain official offices in Istanbul whose activities have gone beyond political activity. The Istanbul headquarters, its branches, and its activists have directed hundreds of attacks and attempted attacks within Israel over the years, mainly in Judea and Samaria. The distinction between Hamas' political wing and its military wing, a distinction that Turkey has insisted was a real thing over the years, has not withstood the test of reality.
It appears that from Israel's perspective, the watershed moment in the cooperation between Turkey and Hamas was the 2018 arrest by Israel (and later deportation) of Turkish law professor Cemil Tekeli. Tekeli was recruited in Turkey by Zaher Jabarin, one of the terrorists released in the Gilad Schalit deal and a senior Hamas official. At the time, Jabarin was in charge of the Hamas budget, and as such also promoted extensive military terror activity in Judea and Samaria under Sheikh Raed Salah's guidance.
In a rare, almost forgotten statement published by the Shin Bet at the time, the following was written explicitly for the first time: "Turkey contributes to the military buildup of Hamas... The investigation findings demonstrate the extensive military and economic activity of Hamas in Turkey, which takes place undisturbed, with Turkey turning a blind eye, and sometimes even with the encouragement of elements within the Turkish government, and with the assistance of Turkish citizens, some of whom are close to the government..."
Tekeli revealed in his investigation that Hamas operates in close connection to Turkey's leadership elite and that senior Turkish government officials contribute to Hamas' military buildup through SADAT, a company that provides funding and military gear for establishing a "Palestine army" whose purpose is to fight Israel.
One SADAT employee even assisted senior Hamas officials in visiting an arms exhibition in Turkey, where they expressed interest in UAV capabilities. Eventually, Hamas operated locally-made UAVs named "Ababeel" against Israel. These reconnaissance and attack drones were produced in the Gaza Strip.
An official Hamas representative in Turkey
In recent years, most of Hamas' activity in Turkey has been led by terrorists released in the Schalit deal who were deported or arrived there. Some obtained Turkish citizenship. This has had Turkey gradually transformed not only into a haven from which attacks and terrorist operations against Israel (both in its territory in general and Judea and Samaria in particular) are directed but also a safe house for Hamas money launderers.
The money has been used, among other things, for the Hamas military arm in Gaza and for financing terror infrastructure in Judea and Samaria. Hamas activists and collaborators in Turkey have been engaged in fundraising and transferring funds as well as operating money-changing companies through which terror funds are laundered.
From information held by the Americans, who as noted imposed additional economic sanctions on some Hamas activists in Turkey and Qatar just days ago, it appears that the main source for transferring financial support to Hamas via Turkey (and sometimes via Lebanon too) was Iran. The transfers to Hamas were made by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, with the participation of Hamas activists and other helpers as well as money-changing companies based in Turkey in the transfer process.
One such company was RADIN, which constituted a conduit for the money flow, whose deputy CEO was Ismail Tash. Another key figure was Zaher Jabarin, Hamas' "West Bank" deputy leader who stayed in Turkey and transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars to Judea and Samaria for Hamas' terror activity.
Shin Bet exposed, in its investigation, extensive Hamas money laundering activity in Turkey under Zaher Jabarin's guidance, with the Turkish authorities turning a blind eye to the money's source. The investigation revealed that Hamas activists own a company called IMAS. It was used by Hamas to disguise money laundering activity to the tune of millions of dollars, which were transferred to the Gaza Strip and various countries. The Shin Bet noted that the company opened an account at a Turkey bank and that the company CEO opened another bank account in his name at another Turkish bank.
Another senior official sanctioned recently is Harun Nasser Al-Din, a Turkey resident who holds the Jerusalem portfolio in Hamas and is close to Zaher Jabarin. Nasser Al-Din is one of the Hamas activists who previously took part in a network that transferred funds from Turkey and Gaza to Hamas in Hebron. Two other figures targeted by the sanctions are Mehmet Kaya, residing in Turkey and suspected of providing financial services and transferring tens of millions of dollars to Hamas, and Jihad Yaghmour, Hamas' official representative in Turkey, who was involved in murdering the soldier Nachshon Waxman.
Yaghmour was deported to Turkey as part of the Schalit deal and was welcomed there. In his official role, he currently serves as President of the Association of Jerusalem and Our History. However, according to security officials' assessment, this is merely a cover, and Yaghmour was also involved "in the apparatus activating the terror cells in Judea and Samaria under Sheikh Raed Salah's guidance".
Yaghmour's ties with the Turkish government are almost overt. On December 14, 2019, he accompanied a Hamas delegation headed by Ismail Haniyeh visiting Turkey, and that same month he met with the Justice and Development Party's Deputy chairman for foreign affairs in Turkey. In May 2019 he accompanied Khaled Mashal, then-head of Hamas' political bureau, in a meeting with a senior Justice and Development Party official in Turkey.
In Shin Bet interrogations of detainees in Israel, Yaghmour's name came up as a key liaison between Turkey and Hamas. He was also identified as the liaison between Hamas and the Turkish government in an Investigative Journal TV investigative piece on November 27, 2019. The Telegraph reported in December 2019 that Yaghmour maintains connections on a daily basis with the Turkish intelligence services. Turkish intelligence cooperates with Western intelligence agencies in the fight against terror and is responsible for delivering intelligence information to a range of government bodies in Turkey – from President Erdogan, through the prime minister and chief of staff and National Security Council and additional agencies in Turkey.
"You are the future of Europe"
"Erdogan," states an internal security establishment memo, "is the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East and sees Turkey as the 'new Ottoman Empire'. Since the outset of his tenure, he has aspired to become sultan, promoting his version of Islam by supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas rather than Fatah, and trying to gain hegemony even in Europe through illegal immigration."
The document quotes Erdogan openly calling on Turks living in Europe to have more children: "The places where you live and work are now your homeland and new country. Demand ownership over them! Establish more businesses and enroll your children in better schools. Move your families into better neighborhoods. Drive the best cars, buy the nicest homes, and have five children. Not just three, because you are the future of Europe."
For many years, Turkey has been exporting imams to mosques across Europe as part of the consistent approach expressed by Erdogan, but in recent days Germany decided, in light of Erdogan's support for Hamas, to halt these imports and stipulated that Turkish imams will be trained for their positions only on German soil.
THE ISRAELI SOLDIER
Frontpage Magazine’s Man of the Year: The IDF Soldier
In a year of defeatism and surrender, he is fighting back.
by
Israeli soldiers during the Gaza ground operation, Nov. 13, 2023
In a year when the civilized world is stuck in a state of retreat, he is fighting back.
Under Biden’s leadership, America has been invaded by hordes of
millions of migrants, and Europe continues to stagger under an endless
wave of migration from the Muslim world. That’s why American and
European cities are being torn apart by rioting mobs supporting Hamas.
But after Israel was invaded on Oct 7, it fought back. The men on the front lines are not the politicians or the generals, they’re among the 360,000 reservists activated in a nation with a Jewish population of 7 million who left behind their homes, families and jobs to go and fight. The Israeli military was unprepared for both Oct 7 and a call-up of this size. The soldiers were fed, clothed, and equipped by the people. While the media reports on the fighting, the truly incredible unreported story is how civilian volunteers have become the supply and support (the ‘tooth-to-tail’) of the Israel Defense Forces or the IDF. In a small country, volunteers have been bringing food every day, they have provided clothes, shipped in body armor and even showed up with washing machines on pickup trucks to do the laundry. Some civilian volunteers have been wounded and even killed while delivering food. Israeli housewives have formed the Baking Battalion to make cookies, a cooking school produces meals for the troops and restaurants operate free food trucks. Others have stepped in to harvest crops and run the shops of the reservists who have been called up to serve in Gaza. When the government and the leaders failed, the ordinary Israeli stepped up. Some armies call themselves the “people’s army”: IDF soldiers really are. They’ve gone into Gaza knowing that the country stands behind them, not as an ideal, but as an everyday reality. Israel is a small country and everyone knows someone who died, came under attack, is among the 200,000 who left their homes to be out of range of the terrorist attacks, or in the ranks of those who are fighting or who have already fallen in defense of their nation. Israel today reminds me of New York City after September 11 where for a brief shining moment everyone except the worst leftists pulled together against a common enemy. That spirit may well pass in Israel as it did in America, but while it lasts, it is something to admire and emulate. Islamist mobs rampage around Manhattan and our elites celebrate Hamas, but the Israelis woke up after one terrible day and decided that they wouldn’t take it anymore. They rejected the dogma that fighting doesn’t work and they went to war. And far more than their own country is riding on the outcome. Nation after nation has surrendered to the Jihad, appeased it, and accepted the lie that Islamic terrorists can’t be defeated and fighting back only radicalizes them. America accepted Islamic terrorism as the new normal, now we’ve accepted Muslim mobs smashing up our cities as the new normal. What new horror will we accept next? The Israeli soldier is in the field fighting against this corrosive mainstreaming of evil. He is at war not only with the reality of Islamic terror but the idea that we are defenseless against it. That is why we all have a stake in what happens thousands of miles away. Gaza is not a territory: it’s a state of mind. There are Gazas in the ‘no-go zones’ of England and France, forming in Michigan and emerging in New York City. It is not a question of whether our war will come, but when. For now we can still pretend that a 7th century madman’s book doesn’t affect us. American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq all too often had to ask why they were there, no Israeli soldier in Gaza ever has to ask that question. Such questions end when the war comes home. We’ve become used to wars that are abstractions, geopolitical policy decisions to change a regime or protect the international order, but that’s not what wars are like in Israel. It’s a one hour drive from the hyper dense Tel Aviv metropolitan area to Kibbutz Be’eri where Islamic terrorists carried out some of the worst atrocities on Oct 7. The thousands of Jihadis, some on pickup trucks with mounted machine guns, had orders to keep going until they reached Tel Aviv. They didn’t get that far, but they did make it to Sderot, a town of 27,000 and they attacked Yad Mordechai just down the road from the city of Ashkelon. It’s a six hour trip along Israel. On the narrowest points, it’s walkable. In wartime, there is no ‘over there’ in Israel, it’s all ‘over here’. IDF soldiers are not fighting for the international order or to nation build anything: they’re traveling hours to the north to protect their homes. The Biden administration, the international community and the rest of the foreign policy ‘blob’ are obsessed with nation building in Gaza. They keep demanding a ‘day after’ plan from Israel. Conspiracy theorists claim that the lack of a ‘day after’ plan proves that Israel intends to expel all the Arab Muslim settlers from Gaza. The truth is that Israel doesn’t care about the same nation building nonsense that failed in every single Muslim country it’s been tried in 30 years. When the madman across the street just butchered your family, you don’t plan out a rehab program or discuss his prison sentence while exchanging fire with him. That sort of madness is reserved for international foreign policy experts with no clue or skin in the game. The same goes for the obsession with “proportionate responses” or “winning the hearts and minds” of Hamas. Instead of the nonsense that wasted so many of our lives, Israel is focused on winning the war. Buried in the CNN and MSNBC reports, which are virtually indistinguishable from Al Jazeera’s Hamas propaganda barrage of bombing videos, is the fact that Israeli soldiers accomplished what the Biden administration’s military experts believed was impossible in record time. Secretary of Defense Austin had urged Israelis to use his fight against ISIS in the Iraqi city of Mosul as a model. The fighting in Mosul took 9 months and led to over 1,000 casualties among the anti-ISIS coalition. Two weeks after the beginning of ground operations, Israel was in the heart of Gaza City. Now, IDF leaders say they’re close to having operational control over the north. As of now, 164 IDF soldiers have fallen in the fighting against over 8,000 Hamas terrorists. Those approximate, but improve on, the casualty rates of American forces fighting against ISIS (then known as Al Qaeda in Iraq) and Iranian militias during the peak of the 2007 ‘Surge’. But the Israelis don’t have any Muslim allied forces fighting alongside them in urban battles. Oct 7 heavily damaged the myth of the IDF, but the myth was always based on a misconception of what the Israel Defense Forces are. The IDF has its origins in groups of volunteer guards who were trained by Major General Orde Wingate, a devout Christian Zionist highly unpopular within the British military, in the unconventional doctrines that he would apply in WWII. The IDF is excellent at offensive operations, but poor at defensive ones except when individual soldiers launch desperate last stands of the kind that helped turn the tide in a few crucial battles. The strength of the IDF has never been in its generals, though like the U.S. military it had some capable old school celebrity generals, now long gone, but in the character of the average fighting man. Strategy and leadership are crucial, but the IDF was built on the resilience of the ordinary soldier. Nations don’t make peoples and generals don’t make armies: it’s people who make nations and armies. That’s as true in Israel as it is in America. Unlike the Islamic Jihadists they are battling, IDF soldiers don’t go to war fueled by meth or promises of 72 virgins, they go knowing that the lives of their friends and families depend on them. The politicians and the generals may fail them, but they do what needs to be done. In Gaza now, they make beds among the rubble, put in earplugs and try to sleep while bombs and bullets shatter the night, and then, when it is time, they rise and fight. They are not superhuman or infallible: only ordinary men who know what is at stake. But they don’t know everything that is at stake. They see only their homes and the children they said goodbye to. What they don’t see is a thousand year Jihad, the rafts bringing invaders to Europe and planes carrying them to America. They see only their small corner of the sky and earth to protect, but they are fighting a small battle that will shape the outcome of the greater civilizational war. That is why the IDF soldier is Front Page Magazine’s ‘Man of the Year’. In a year of defeatism, he is still fighting. Even though all the experts say he should stop, he does not give up. Those of us who see the big picture are often prone to despair, but the Israelis never look at big pictures. Israelis, unlike American Jews, have little interest in the big questions because, also unlike American Jews, they are religious in a mostly matter-of-fact way. When they look in the mirror, they don’t see insecurity, they see a fallible human being and when they look at the sky, they don’t see existential questions, they see G-d. That is why they have hope, not woke. These are important because they not only encourage us to hope, but tell us how. The IDF soldier is the reflection of a nation that has learned to live in the face of impossible threats by focusing on what needs to be done today. That lack of vision is a weakness, but it is also a strength. We too can turn from worrying about tomorrow and ask what we can do today. The ordinary Israeli is in the field, or making cookies, washing khaki clothes and harvesting crops. He does not think about the unlikelihood that a nation of millions can survive the hatred of over a billion fanatics who believe that their only path to paradise is through genocide. He or she does what needs to be done, without despair or rage, but with the inner strength of purpose. Israel is a nation at war with our enemies. The Islamists and leftists, the professional racists and deranged woke armies march through the streets of our cities calling for Israel’s destruction. It is not only a physical war, but a spiritual war, a cultural war and a moral war. It is a war that encompasses all of us, our homes, our families and our futures, but at the moment only one group of men is fighting that war, not just with words or elections, but with bullets. Their fight gives us hope. Their fight shows us how to fight. Their fight shows us the future. |
TRUMP STOPPED FUNDING UNRWA, BUT AS SOON AS BIDEN TOOK OFFICE, HE RESTORED THE FUNDS ..... THE US IS ITS LARGEST DONOR, DISBURSING ALMOST $1 BILLION IN FUNDS TO UNRWA OER THE LAST FIVE YEARS
Israel wants UNRWA out of Gaza
"The agency is Hamas's educational arm."
Israel’s Foreign Ministry has put together a classified report calling for the removal of UNRWA from the Gaza Strip in the long-term, noting that the U.N. relief agency works against Israel’s interests.
The report’s recommendations set out a three-stage process for shrinking and eventually eliminating UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, from the Strip: 1) Prepare a case detailing UNRWA’s cooperation with Hamas; 2) Reduce UNRWA’s field of activity and find replacement service providers; and 3) Transfer UNRWA’s responsibilities to another entity.
Channel 12, which revealed the existence of the secret report on Thursday, noted that Israel wants to move slowly, recognizing that the U.S. sees UNRWA as a positive player in humanitarian efforts in the Strip. The ministry hopes to gradually build the case for ousting the organization, linking that goal to discussions on “the day after” Hamas.
Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at Tel Aviv’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), supports dislodging UNRWA, telling JNS that “UNRWA was born in sin and exists in sin, therefore, it should be dismantled.
“It was established because of pressure by the Arab world as a platform to leverage the interests of Arab leaders against the State of Israel using the Palestinian [refugee] issue,” Michael said.
UNRWA schools teach hatred of Jews
Israel must convince the U.S. and the international community of UNRWA’s unfitness by pulling together research, much of which has already been performed, on the U.N. group, (Michael co-authored a damning report on UNRWA in 2020). Israel should also highlight what UNRWA’s own people have revealed about it, he said, noting especially James Lindsay.
James G. Lindsay, an American civil servant, worked with UNRWA from 2000 to 2007 and as its general counsel from 2002. For more than a decade, he has called for a close examination of UNRWA’s activities, saying it doesn’t solve the Palestinian refugee problem, but rather perpetuates it.
Lindsay has pointed out that aside from the fact that UNRWA is the only U.N. refugee organization dedicated to a single population, the Palestinians, it defines refugees differently than the United Nation’s Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which handles all the rest of the world’s refugees.
“UNHCR does not consider someone a refugee who has acquired citizenship in another country. In other words, if you have been a refugee but then you become a citizen, you can no longer be a refugee,” Lindsay told UN Watch in 2019.
“If you can’t be a refugee under those definitions, then a very large number of UNRWA Palestinian refugees would not be refugees at all. For instance, in Jordan approximately 90% of the people UNRWA considers Palestine refugees are citizens of Jordan, and they would not be refugees under the UNHCR, or the U.N. Convention [Relating to the Status of Refugees] terms,” he said.
The Palestinian refugee population is the only one that increases each year. Starting from 700,000 in 1948 it has grown to 5.9 million refugees registered with UNRWA as of mid-2023.
Said Michael, “The idea that we are still talking about Palestinian refugees is not reasonable. We’re talking about fifth-generation refugees when actually they are not refugees at all.”
Controlled by Hamas
The worst aspect of UNRWA is that it’s controlled by Hamas. “All the workers of UNRWA in the Gaza Strip—something like 13,000—all of them are approved by Hamas,” he said.
In 2020, 58% of UNRWA’s then-$800 million budget (it has since ballooned to $1.6 billion) went to education. Michael says education isn’t even part of its mandate.
The curriculum in UNRWA-run schools has been repeatedly exposed for its glorification of jihad and antisemitism.
More than 100 of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists who carried out terrorist attacks and murdered Israeli citizens on Oct. 7 were graduates of UNRWA’s education system, the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) found.
In another report, it found at least 14 teachers and staff at UNRWA schools publicly celebrated the Hamas massacre and other Hamas attacks on their social media accounts.
Noting that the U.S. is UNRWA’s largest donor, disbursing almost $1 billion in funds to the U.N. agency over the last five years, IMPACT-se head Marcus Sheff said in early November that taxpayer funds pay for “the production of inciteful supplementary teaching materials by UNRWA staff,” “textbooks glorifying violent jihad against Jews” and “the salaries of UNRWA teachers, who are responsible for teaching them to students.”
“There is no doubt that Hamas uses UNRWA to promote its goals,” Michael said. UNRWA is essentially Hamas’s educational arm, which is funded by the international community. That’s one more service that Hamas doesn’t need to provide, enabling it to pour more of its money into its military, he said.
As to what will replace UNRWA at war’s end, Michael proposes an international consortium made up of Western and Middle Eastern countries (similar to what the Netanyahu government is suggesting).
Michael says this trusteeship will last for at least five years. During that time, it will train a professional technocratic class from the Palestinian population to run the Strip.
The “Palestinian national consciousness is very ill, sick. During the three decades under the umbrella of the Oslo process, the hearts and minds of the Palestinian people were poisoned by the Palestinian Authority, and later on by Hamas,” he said.
“The process of reconstruction will require very deep changes to Palestinian society and leadership,” Michael said.
PRESIDENT OBAMA DID SOMETHING ILLEGAL? ..... NAAW, THAT'S GOTTA BE A RACIST ALLEGATION
Whistleblower: The US government, led by Barack Obama, created a psy-op to influence American elections- Part one
Dec 29, 2023
This is part
one of a two-part report outlining the existence of a psyop involving
coordination between the US government, social media companies, and NGOs
to influence and interfere in future elections.
WASHINGTON, DC- Stunning testimony from author and former California gubernatorial candidate Michael Shellenberger before
a congressional committee appears to show an illegal psyop was created
by former president Barack Obama to interfere in future elections. Some
of those plans took hold during the 2020 election cycle, Shellenberger
testified.
During his testimony about the “Twitter files,” Shellenberger said the following:
“Two days ago, my colleagues and I published the first batch of internal files from the Cyber Threat Intelligence League (CTIL), which show US and UK military contractors working in 2019 and 2020 to censor and turn sophisticated psychological operations and disinformation tactics developed abroad against the American people.
“Many insist that all that we identified in the Twitter files, the Facebook files, and the CTI files were legal activities by social media platforms to take down content that violated the terms of service. Facebook, X, formerly Twitter, and other big tech companies are privately owned, people point out, and free to censor content. And government officials are free to point out wrong information, they argue. But, the First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging freedom of speech.
“The Supreme Court has ruled that the government may not induce, encourage, or promote private persons to accomplish what is constitutionally forbidden to accomplish, and there’s now a large body of evidence proving that the government did precisely that.
“What’s more, the whistleblower who delivered the CTIL files to us says that its leader, a quote, unquote former British intelligence analyst, was, quote, unquote in the room at the Obama White House in 2017 when she received the instructions to create a counter disinformation project to, quote, stop a repeat of 2016.”
That year–2016–was the year that Donald Trump quite unexpectedly beat Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House.
In a piece for The Hill in 2017, John Solomon, now of Just the News, wrote a piece revealing the National Security Agency and FBI violated the civil liberties of American citizens during the Obama administration.
Those violations included “improperly searching and disseminating raw intelligence on Americans or failing to promptly delete unauthorized intercepts.” That information results from a FOIA request filed by the ACLU and contained in newly declassified memos released subject to that request.
“Americans should be alarmed that the NSA is vacuuming up their emails and phone calls without a warrant,” said Patrick Toomey, an ACLU staff attorney in New York who was instrumental in pursuing the FOIA litigation. “The NSA claims it has rules to protect our privacy, but it turns out those rules are weak, full of loopholes, and violated again and again.”
As it turns out, that was the least of what Obama was up to—according to the whistleblower referred to by Shellenberger, US and UK military contractors worked in partnership to create a “sweeping plan” for global censorship in 2018 in response to both Trump’s election in 2016 and Brexit in the UK, according to information entered into the Congressional record.
That information included research conducted by Shellenberger, Alex Gutentag, and Matt Taibbi and was published in a Substack called “Public.”
According to the whistleblower, the CTIL was initially a volunteer project of data scientists and defense and intelligence veterans; however, it was absorbed into official US government projects, including those of the Department of Homeland Security. The CTIL documents “fill in the blanks” not addressed in either the Twitter files or Facebook files.
The documents released by the whistleblower outline a concerted attempt to skirt the First Amendment by having any censorship efforts undertaken by private companies because the US government doesn’t have the “legal authority” to do so.
The operation, along with others closely aligned, has been referred to as the Censorship Industrial Complex, a “network of over 100 government agencies and nongovernmental organizations [NGOs] that work together to urge censorship by social media platforms and spread propaganda about disfavored individuals, topics, and whole narratives.”
Agencies involved included the DHS through its Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency (CISA), which “has been the center of gravity for much of the censorship,” along with the National Science Foundation, which financed “the development of censorship and disinformation tools,” while other government agencies played a supporting role.
Emails obtained show that CISA created the so-called “Election Integrity Partnership” (EIP) in 2020, which involved the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO) and other US government contractors. EIP and its successor, the Virality Project (VP), “urged Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms to censor social media posts by ordinary citizens and elected officials alike.”
One odd detail that had come about in looking into CIS is referred to as a “black hole,” where the entire year of 2019 was missing from available data.
However, a new trove of documents was retrieved, “including strategy documents, training videos, presentations, and internal messages,” and in 2019, US and UK military contractors developed a large-scale censorship network. “These contractors co-led CTIL, which partnered with CISA in the spring of 2020.”
The censorship psyop swung into high gear in 2020 when the COVID pandemic sprang to life. According to whistleblower documents, CTIL “began tracking and reporting disfavored content on social media, such as anti-lockdown narratives like ‘all jobs are essential,’ ‘we won’t stay home,’ and ‘open America now.’”
The anti-disinformation campaign wasn’t designed merely to censor so-called “wrong facts.” Still, it was intended to stop disfavored narratives, with a pressure campaign mounted against social media companies to take down information or take other action to prevent disfavored narratives from going viral.
Moreover, CTIL’s approach to “disinformation” showed a concerted effort to go on the offensive to influence public opinion, “discussing ways to promote ‘counter-messaging,’ co-opt hashtags, dilute disfavored messaging, create sock puppet accounts, and infiltrate private invite-only groups.”
CTIL developed a survey to screen potential organization members, asking questions such as “Have you worked with influence operations (e.g., disinformation, hate speech, other digital harms, etc) previously?” The survey then questioned if the influence operations included “active measures” and “psyops.”
Shellenberger and his team contacted the FBI and CISA for comment, neither of which responded. One person involved in the operation, however, Bonnie Smalley, responded over the social media app LinkedIn and denied government involvement between CTIL and the government (copied exactly from the message, including errors):
“...alll I can comment on is that i joined cti league which is unaffiliated with any govt orgs because i wanted to combat the inject bleach nonsense online during covid…i can assure you that we had nothing to do with the govt, though.”
However, her statement appears to fly in the face of the truth. The documents obtained through the whistleblower show that “government employees were engaged members of CTIL,” specifically one individual who worked for DHS, Justin Frappier. According to Shellenberger, he “was extremely active in CTIL, participating in regular meetings and leading trainings.”
The whistleblower said the ultimate goal of CTIL “was to become part of the federal government. In our weekly meetings, they made it clear that they were building these organizations within the federal government, and if you built the first iteration, we could secure a job for you.”
One former UK defense researcher, Sara-Jayne “SJ” Terp, was one of the leaders of CTIL. In 2019, she shared a plan to create “Misinfosec communities,” including government. Both public records and whistleblower documents show that she was able to achieve them, where in April 2020, Chris Krebs, then-director of CISA, published a Twitter post and wrote in numerous articles that CISA was entering a partnership with CTIL, which he referred to as “an information exchange.”
Terp, along with her colleagues, developed a “censorship, influence, and anti-disinformation strategy called Adversarial Misinformation and Influence Tactics and Techniques (AMITT). That strategy was aided in no small part by MITRE, “a major defense and intelligence contractor” that receives “an annual budget of $1 to $2 billion in government funding.”
The World Health Organization also used AMITT to deploy a program to counter anti-vaccination campaigns across Europe.
According to Shellenberger, the documentation obtained from the whistleblower shows a “highly coordinated and sophisticated effort by the US and UK governments to build a domestic censorship effort and influence operations similar to the ones they have used in foreign countries.”
In fact, Terp admittedly once referenced her operations “in the background” on social media during the “Arab Spring” uprisings in the Middle East. The whistleblower said Terp had expressed “surprise” that such tactics, developed for foreign adversaries, would be used against American citizens.
The whistleblower also revealed that at least “12-20 active people involved in CTIl worked at the FBI or CISA.”
“For a while, they had their agency seals–FBI, CISA, whatever–next to your name” on the Slack messaging service, the whistleblower said. Terp “had a CISA badge that went away at some point,” the whistleblower continued.
Those who founded the so-called “Censorship Industrial Complex” were not satisfied with Twitter simply putting warning labels on Twitter or merely blacklisting individuals.
“The AMITT framework calls for discrediting individuals as a necessary prerequisite of demanding censorship against them. It calls for training influencers to spread messages. And it calls for trying to get banks to cut off financial services to individuals who organize rallies or events.”
Much of the known information on CTIL started in 2020, when several media outlets, including the Washington Post, Bloomberg, and others, posted stories claiming CTIL was a group of volunteer cybersecurity experts” who would be helping “billion-dollar hospitals on their own time, and without pay” to determine so-called “vulnerabilities in healthcare institutions in more than 80 countries.”
The media outlets gushed that the group had blossomed to “1,400 vetted members in 76 countries spanning 45 different sectors,” which had “helped to lawfully take down 2,833 cybercriminal assets on the internet, including 17 designed to impersonate government organizations, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization.”
One so-called volunteer, former Israeli intelligence official Ohad Zaidenberg, stressed he was simply trying to “help.”
“I knew I had to do something to help,” he said.
“There is a really strong appetite for doing good in the community,” Marc Rogers, head of security operations for DEF CON, a hacker’s convention, said.
It all sounded very altruistic. However, the goal of CTIL’s leaders, Shellenberger wrote, “was to build support for censorship among national security and cybersecurity institutions.” To accomplish that, they pushed the idea of “cognitive security” as a basis for government involvement in censorship activities.
“Cognitive security is the thing you want to have,” said Terp on a 2019 podcast. “You want to protect that cognitive layer. It basically, it’s about pollution. Misinformation, disinformation, is a form of pollution across the internet.”
CTIL was stacked with individuals with military backgrounds and who served as military contractors. Terp and Pablo Breuer, another CTIL leader, worked for SOFWERX, “a collaborative project of the U.S. Special Forces Command and Doolittle Institute.” Doolittle transfers Air Force technology through the Air Force Resource Lab to the private sector.
Terp and Breuer met
during a ten-day military exercise organized by the US Special
Operations Command in 2018, where they discussed modern disinformation
campaigns on social media, according to Terp. During that meeting,
according to Wired, they concluded that “Misinformation…could be treated
the same way: as a cybersecurity problem.”
That led them to create CogSec along with David Perlman and Thatteus
Grugq. Terp co-chaired the Misinfosec Working Group within CogSec.
Individuals involved with CTIL didn’t appear to hide what they were trying to do. Breuer admitted during a podcast that he planned to bring military tactics to bear on social media platforms.
Breuer even explained how they were trying to get around the First Amendment by getting “nontraditional partners into one room," including “maybe somebody from one of the social media companies, maybe a few special forces operators, and some folks from [the] Department of Homeland Security…to talk in a non-attribution, open environment in an unclassified way so that we can collaborate better, more freely, and really start to change the way that we address some of these issues.”
A report issued by Misinfosec advocated for “sweeping government censorship and counter-misinformation,” noting that during the first six months of 2019, they analyzed so-called “incidents,” developed a reporting system, and shared their vision of censorship with “numerous state, treaty, and NGOs.”
The interesting part of that report was that for every incident mentioned therein, the so-called “victim” came from the political left: Barack Obama, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton, and French President Emmanuel Macron. Moreover, the report didn’t try to hide the basis for its motivation–the aforementioned election of Donald Trump and Brexit.
“A study of the antecedents to these events lead us to the realization that there’s something off kilter with our information landscape,” wrote Terp and her co-authors. “The useful idiots and fifth columnists–now augmented by automated bots, cyborgs, and human drolls–are busily engineering public opinion, stoking up outrage, sowing doubt, and chipping away at trust in our institutions. And now it’s our brains that are being hacked.”
The report then focused on information that “changes beliefs” through so-called “narratives” and said so-called misinformation could be countered by targeting specific links in a “kill chain” or influence chain from the misinformation incident before it becomes a full-blown narrative,’ Shellenberger wrote.
The report took mainstream media to task, claiming they no longer control information.
“For a long time, the ability to reach mass audiences belonged to the nation-state (e.g., in the USA via broadcast licensing through ABC, CBS, and NBC). Now, however, control of informational instruments has been allowed to devolve to large technology companies who have been blissfully complacent and complicit in facilitating access to the public for information operators at a fraction of what it could have cost them by other means.”
In a chilling recommendation given CTIL’s ties to the government, the authors pushed for “police, military, and intelligence involvement in censorship across Five Eyes nations, and even suggested that Interpol should be involved,” Shellenberger wrote.
The report advocated for immediate implementation of AMITT, writing, “We do not need, nor can we afford, to wait 27 years for the AMITT (Adversarial Misinformation and Influence Tactics and Techniques) framework to go into use.”
We will cover the rest of the whistleblower’s information given to Shellenberger in Part Two of this report.

SOUTH AFRICA ACCUSES ISRAEL OF CARRYING OUT GENOCIDE AGAINST PALESTINIANS
Israeli army is locked in street battles in Hamas stronghold as Tel-Aviv also launches strikes on Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon and Syria

Daily Mail
Dec 30, 2023
Israeli troops maneuver in the Gaza Strip on December 30, 2023.
Israeli troops fought street battles against Hamas terrorists in southern Gaza yesterday as they sought to capture the key city of Khan Yunis.
The military said it targeted Hamas strongholds, as well as an explosives-making factory, a 'war-room' used by the terrorists and several underground tunnel networks.
The assault deep into the south of Gaza came as Israel's army also launched strikes on Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists in neighbouring Lebanon and Syria.

The ground offensive in Khan Yunis was yesterday accompanied by strikes on refugee camps in the outskirts of the city where the Israel Defence Force (IDF) said Hamas hideouts were located.
The deadly air and land attacks killed at least 165 Gazans and left 250 others wounded, the Hamas-run health ministry said.

As the Bureij, Nuseirat and Maghazi camps were being bombed, the IDF showered them with leaflets in Arabic telling the almost 90,000 residents and 61,000 displaced Gazans to move southwards.
The IDF's Lt-Col Peter Lerner told The Mail on Sunday: 'We are killing tens of Hamas terrorists every day. So far we have killed 8,000 – that is about a third.
'Our end-game is to restore security and stability to Israel. We will protect our forces and our country. We will not live under threat – we have an obligation to our country.'
Lt-Col Lerner added that Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon was firing anti-tank guided missiles, drones and rockets into Israel every day, which could lead to an all-out war between the two sides.
'There are 50 to 60 different daily incidents from the Lebanese border,' he said. 'They are risking the stability of the region. Hezbollah needs to look closely at what is going on in Gaza, and if they continue they will bear full responsibility.'
The offensive came amid a furious diplomatic row between Israel and South Africa after it accused Tel Aviv of carrying out genocide against Palestinians. South Africa also urged the International Court of Justice at the Hague to order a halt of attacks.
In response, the Israeli government said it 'rejected with disgust' the genocide claims, and in turn accused South Africa of collaborating with Hamas terrorists.

YE'S APOLOGY RINGS HOLLOW ..... HE NEVER WOULD HAVE APOLOGIZED HAD HIS WIFE NOT INSISTED ON IT
Kanye West, 46, apologized to the Jewish community on Tuesday after his wife Bianca Censori, 28 (pictured with him in Dubai) 'laid the smackdown' on him for his 'unacceptable' behavior
Kanye West's apology, written in Hebrew, to the Jewish community was a result of a 'smackdown' by his wife Bianca Censori, who is allegedly 'tired' of having to 'babysit' her husband - and fears he is putting them in danger.
The controversial rapper, 46, apologized on Tuesday for his string of unhinged and offensive outbursts of late, which saw him rapping anti-Semitic lyrics in Dubai and praising Hitler in Las Vegas earlier this month.
Acknowledging his behavior on Instagram, he said: 'I deeply regret any pain I may have caused.'
Now, insiders have exclusively told DailyMail.com that the apology came after Bianca, 28, 'laid the smackdown on him.'
On December 15, Kanye unleashed a shocking anti-Semitic rant which saw him scream 'Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye! Sponsor that!' during an event in Las Vegas (pictured)
Kanye shared an apology in Hebrew on his Instagram on Tuesday, which stated: 'I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst'
'Bianca was tired of having to babysit Kanye,' they said. 'She told him that his recent behavior was unacceptable and that he needs to apologize because he was putting them in danger and setting a horrible example for his children.
'Bianca is really sick of his attention seeking and she knows that this is not who he truly is, but it is making her look like she is anti-Semitic which is so far from the truth.
'She has many Jewish friends who she loves dearly and he knows this.'
Kanye's latest hate-filled outburst occurred at a listening party in Sin City on December 15. Bianca was noticeably absent.
During his rant, he stated that 'all the rich f****s' in the room' have their kids in 'Zionist schools.'
'It is very upsetting to Bianca and he does it anyway. He just waits until she is gone. By the time that she finds out what he’s done and said, it is too late,' the source said.
'And now it's at the point where she is starting to fear for her safety - not because of Kanye hurting her or anything like that. It is more like she fears that a Jewish extremist could potentially do something to hurt both of them.'
In the Yeezy rapper's apology, he wrote: 'I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any "unintended outburst" caused by my words or actions. It was not my intention to offend offend or demean.
'Bianca was tired of having to babysit Kanye,' a friend of the Australian beauty (seen with Ye in Miami recently) told DailyMail.com. 'She is sick of his attention seeking'
Kanye wore a Klu Klux Klan type of hoodie to a Vultures listening party (seen here) in Miami earlier this month. His new album Vultures drops on January 12 after being delayed
In November, Kanye performed his latest song Vultures in Dubai, which contains the lyrics, 'How can I be anti-Semitic when I just f****d a Jewish b***' (pictured during the performance)
'Respected, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future.
'Your forgiveness is important to me and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.'
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), responded to his apology, stating it is the 'first stop on a long journey towards making amends.'
'After causing untold damage by using his vast influence and platform to poison countless minds with vicious antisemitism and hate, an apology in Hebrew may be the first stop on a long journey towards making amends to the Jewish community and all those he has hurt,' a statement read.
'Ultimately, actions will speak louder than words but this initial act of contrition is welcome.'
Kanye's latest rant occurred just one month after he was slammed for anti-Semitic lyrics in his new track Vultures, which he performed at club Blu Dubai in Dubai alongside rappers Ty Dolla $ign and Lil' Durk.
In front of a large crowd, Kanye rapped, 'How am I anti-Semitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b****' - a reference to the anti-Semitic scandal last year which saw him booted from his lucrative partnerships with Adidas and Balenciaga.
According to the source, Kanye and Bianca - who celebrated their one-year anniversary on December 20 - had to 'hire additional security' after his appearance.
Kanye's anti-Semitic rhetoric started in October 2022 when he vowed to go 'death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE' (pictured here in 2019)
Among his accusations, the rapper (pictured on Christmas Day) previously said that the 'Holocaust is not what happened' and also claimed 'Black people are the real Jews'
'They have hired more security now, especially when they are with the kids,' they said. 'But Bianca almost doesn't want to address it with him because he knows how she feels and doing so would just create another fight.
'Of course her friends are, once again, concerned for her, even though she tells everyone that she has it all under control.'
DailyMail.com has reached out to reps for Kanye and Bianca.
During his Las Vegas meltdown n December 15, Kanye went off the rails in front of a large crowd.
In a video obtained by TMZ, he is seen shouting: 'It's 60 million of us in America, 60 million Jews in the world.
'50 per cent of our deaths is abortion, 25 per cent of us go to prison... raise your hand if you ever got an abortion.
'If we were in a Jewish... every mother would raise their hands.
'Who’s going to make the hospitals, though? He’s a Zionist, [Donald] Trump. This is what I’ve been trying to tell you. Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye, third party, sponsor that!'
He added: 'They cant f*****g touch me because God cover me.'
Kanye also slammed the school his children attend and said: 'North ripped up the motherf*****g couches in the house' to be able to travel with her father on his trip.
Shouting at the crowd to 'shut the f*** up,' he said: 'I don't give a f*** about life or death, I get visitation with my kids.' He then added: 'F*** Balenciaga.'
It comes after Kanye was branded a 'disgusting human being' by fans after he wore a black Ku Klux Klan type hood in his latest attempt to shock at an Art Basel event in Miami on December 12.
The artist put on a fabric head covering featuring a point at the top at an overnight listening event with collaborator Ty Dolla $ign as they performed their controversial track Vultures, which includes the lyrics about Kanye doing the dirty with a Jewish woman.
Kanye has a documented history of antisemitism and last year lost out on a number of partnership deals after going on an explosive anti-Semitic rant.
It all started in October 2022 when he vowed to go 'death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE' in a string of sick posts online.
Shortly after the tweet, the Praise God rapper told Piers Morgan he only meant to take aim at certain specific Jews, who he felt exploited him.
When the talk show host contended the comments were 'as racist as anything you've been through,' Kanye said: 'That's why I said it. I fought fire with fire.'
In an interview with right-wing talk show host Alex Jones in December 2022, Kanye praised Hitler for his 'redeeming qualities.'
He also maintained that the 'Holocaust is not what happened' and promoted the conspiracy theory that Black people are the real Jews.
His rants saw him lose out on lucrative contracts with The Gap, Adidas and Balenciaga and more.
He was also dropped by his management team at Creative Artists Agency.
His latest actions have not only further damaged his reputation, but are also believed to be impacting his marriage to Bianca.
Haim Gozali - a citizen of Israel - posted this picture on X recently. On the missile was written, 'Kanye West flying to Gaza'
They had a blowout fight the night before his performance in Dubai, with a source at the time claiming Bianca gave Kanye an 'ultimatum' - stop controlling her or lose her.
'Their argument exploded on the night she went out with him when she was dressed normal and was drinking and flirting,' a friend of Bianca's told DailyMail.com exclusively after the fight.
'Kanye didn't like this because he knew he was no longer in control. She allegedly told him she was done being his silent mute and that she is not his muse like Kim [Kardashian, ex-wife] was and he cannot treat her as such.
'Kanye was forced to loosen the leash or face losing her. This was a huge turning point in their relationship and ever since then she has shown glimpses of her true self. This made her friends so happy to see her smiling and laughing and interacting in Miami.'
