Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review Jan 18, 2025
The negotiations in Doha involving the United States, Israel, Hamas, Egypt and Qatar remind me of Frank Sinatra’s query “Is it an earthquake or only a shock?, is it a good turtle soup or only a mock?” Given the history of the various Middle Eastern peace proposals of one kind or another that have briefly raised their heads only to die ingloriously, it would perhaps be wise to consider the latest Israel-Gaza ceasefire, originally due to start on Sunday, to be, like Sinatra’s soup, a work in progress. And maybe not even really in progress due to likely hidden agendas and understandings that might run counter to what is being put down on paper. I am particularly thinking of possible commitments to Israel by the United States that will give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu options that will enable him to resume hostilities by citing Hamas violations of details in the ceasefire terms, whether they have actually occurred or not. That was how the game was recently played with respect to Lebanon and Syria where Israel manipulated the situation to its own advantage, presumably with the full connivance of President Joe Biden and his band of cutthroats.
Interestingly, both Genocide Joe Biden and Donald Trump are taking credit for the ceasefire, which has been delayed and not been fully accepted by Israel initially due to alleged “details.” “Hamas is backing out of the understandings and creating a last-minute crisis that prevents a settlement,” Netanyahu’s office said on Thursday, adding that the government Cabinet would not meet to vote on the issue until Hamas backed down on “new demands,” accusing the militant group of reneging on parts of the agreement in an attempt to gain further concessions. Sources in Israel indicate that the dispute involves the Philadelphi “security corridor,” where Israel wants to maintain a military presence, and details over the exchange of hostages. Some of the issues were reportedly resolved by Friday morning, when the Israeli Security Cabinet and approved the ceasefire.
But there continue to be concerns about what will actually take place. Chris Hedges observes that Israel has never fully implemented any agreement made with the Palestinians. Nevertheless, whatever eventually transpires, it is clear that Joe Biden, who actually collaborated with and enabled the Israelis to slaughter as many as 80,000 Palestinians, had nothing to do with the successful move towards the possible ceasefire agreement, nor has he ever even had the bravery to confront the Israelis to compel them to moderate their behavior. It was Donald Trump who clearly sent his chief Middle East negotiator Steve Witkoff, himself a Jew and a dedicated Zionist, on a mission to give some straight talk to Netanyahu about his options with the new administration coming in on Monday. It would appear that Trump genuinely desires an end to the crisis over Gaza and there are numerous reports that he has been sending signals to Netanyahu suggesting that there is a new sheriff in town and that Gaza is both a distraction from bigger problems like Iran and BRICS as well as bad politics and a huge public relations problem for the US and Israel if the conflict is allowed to continue. One of the signals was, notoriously, a video featuring Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs bad mouthing Bibi, saying “Netanyahu had from 1995 onward the theory that the only way we’re gonna get rid of Hamas and Hezbollah is by toppling the governments that support them. That’s Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Iran. And the guy’s nothing if not obsessive. And he’s still trying to get us to fight Iran this day, this week. He’s a deep dark sonofabitch, sorry to tell you. ’Cause he’s gotten us into endless wars, and because of the power of all of this in the US politics, he’s gotten his way.” The video was posted on Trump’s social media website Truth Social. Also, Trump’s warning that the hostages in Gaza would have to be released by the Inauguration date or “all hell would break loose” might have been a demand to Netanyahu to do something in addition to being a threat to Hamas.
I rather choose to believe that Witkoff offered Netanyahu a stick and a carrot. The prime minister is in deep trouble with his own governing coalition, most particularly the factions led by Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, who reject any ceasefire until Hamas is destroyed completely, but it now appears that even if they resign from the government they will not choose to bring down Netanyahu. One inducement from Trump appears to be overturning a Biden decision to sanction right wing Israeli settlers on the West Bank who are using violence to harass Palestinians in their remaining villages and on their farms. It has also been suggested that the US might look the other way if Gaza itself might be resettled with Israeli Jewish settlers, eliminating any return home for Gazans. Convincing the settler movement to stay positively engaged with what is about to happen could be crucial to Netanyahu’s survival. To bring the settlers around, they have also been invited by senior Republican Party officials to attend the Trump inauguration on Monday. The settlers will also attend the first session of a newly-created “Friends of Judea and Samaria Caucus” in the US Congress. Judea and Samaria are Israel’s preferred biblical names for the West Bank, indicating that the Republicans are amenable to Jewish state’s eradicating both the Palestinians and even the name of Palestine itself.
More important in terms of what is happening on the ground, Israeli news channel ynet is reporting that “President Trump, according to a source familiar with the details, has already promised Netanyahu and Minister Ron Dermer that if they agree to a ceasefire and the withdrawal of IDF forces from the Gaza Strip, he will support Israel retroactively if it decides to return to fighting and violate the ceasefire.” Alternatively, Israel might choose to renew fighting after the initial six-week truce period is over, making it appear to be in full compliance with the ceasefire. They can play it either way and might even have a commitment from Washington to advance preparations for a joint military action against Iran.
As a third incentive for Israel, the Trump Administration has reportedly agreed to remove commercial US sanctions that were initiated in November 2021 on the Israeli spy company NSO Group and its “maliciously targetable” Pegasus spyware that “has been used to hack US government officials and other top level politicians, peace and human rights activists, international lawyers, journalists and more – and which is said to have played a key role in Saudi Arabia’s murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.” Biden administration officials claimed at the time that the move represents the first time that the Treasury Department has sanctioned people or entities for the misuse of spyware. The software “allows a user to infiltrate electronic devices through zero-click attacks that require no user interaction or opening of the virus for the spyware to infect the device. The spyware, which has been used in dozens of countries, has allowed for the unauthorized extraction of data, geolocation tracking and access to personal information on compromised devices.”
A list of 50,000 phone numbers of interest to NSO ‘Pegasus’ software clients has leaked and was published in France. NSO’s founders were members of the Israeli military’s top secret electronic surveillance Unit 8200 and NSO is believed to be currently a front for the Israeli military and Mossad. According to ex-8200 whistleblowers, the unit’s members used to mark an ‘X’ on their headset for each assassination their surveillance had enabled.
An Amnesty International report and also an investigation by the Washington Post and 16 other media groups revealed that clients using NSO’s ‘Pegasus’ military-grade spyware include many governments known to conduct surveillance of their own citizens. NSO claims that Pegasus is only used by legitimate agencies to spy on ‘terrorists and serious criminals’, but the leaked list “includes numbers of journalists, human-rights activists, heads of state, royals, prime ministers – and the fiancée of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, as well as of murdered Mexican journalist Cecilio Pineda Birto.”
The investigation by the Post, titled the Pegasus Project, identified and verified the names of several Arab royal family members, 64 business executives, 85 human rights activists and more than 600 politicians and government officials. According to the Washington Post, the software was used in multiple ‘attempted and successful hacks.’ The Post was particularly sensitive to the threat as 189 journalists were on the list. In practical terms, the “legalization” of Pegasus means that the FBI and NSA will be able to use it to increase its spying on American citizens, which will mean a seeking out of critics of US foreign policy, and one would not be surprised to see it employed to root out critics of Israel, which will be regarded as antisemitism, increasingly viewed as a major crime by US administrations.
The freeing up of Pegasus is a big deal as it is a major money earner and source of top-level intelligence for the Israeli government and its security services. If my instincts on this are correct, Israel will strike as hard a bargain on the ceasefire as it possibly can, creating conditions or interpretations that will enable it to back out and resume military operations after claiming mythical violations on the part of Hamas. It will be able to resume hostilities while still obtaining the release a number of its hostages, which would be a boost for the Netanyahu government. Trump will shy away from exposing the Israeli false flag having made his point that he is a peace maker and in charge. The un-sanctioning and Congressional embrace of the Israeli settlers will also help Netanyahu politically. Interestingly, Israeli media and its public have reacted negatively to the news that a ceasefire is imminent, claiming that it is a “defeat.” In reality, Israel could, as ever, be the winner in what is taking place, with no real pushback from Washington. When it comes to dealing with Israel, Trump might talk tough but could wind up going down the same path as Joe Biden. So will there be a real ceasefire? Maybe not.

In a smoke-filled room in Bethlehem, four men pore over a list – just released – of the names of Palestinian detainees to be freed in phase one of the ceasefire deal this is the office of the Palestinian Prisoners Society. The phone has not stopped ringing. Families are desperate for news.
Some 735 names are on the list – 328 of them handed one or more life sentences, 74 have faced no charges and 49 are under “administrative detention”, which means they have been held for an indeterminate amount of time, without charge.one room here is packed floor to ceiling in case files.
Many of these are children picked up off the street and geld to blackmail their parents
“Since 1967 the Israeli occupation has arrested over 1.2 million Palestinians,” says Abdullah Zaghari, the director of the organisation, the youngest was age 5. The number who’ve been taken from Gaza since 7 October, though, is unknown.
“This is the biggest challenge for us,” Mr Zaghari says.
“We’ve received calls from families in Gaza since the beginning of the war, they have no confirmation about who has been arrested. Maybe some, maybe they’ve been killed. Maybe they are in the secret jails.”
He claims conditions in prisons have worsened since 7 October – as “revenge” for the Hamas retaliation Hundreds of people in the jails are suffering from starvation, from disease, unable to shower… most of the prisoners in the jails lose more than 40kg in body weight,” he claims, and torture and sexual molestation even of the children is rife

Mr Giraldi is always right on. This cease- fire is all to make the mostly imposters and occupiers of Palestine and the con man drumpt appear human which are not. Yes, and biblical stories turned into religious scriptures literally all fraudulently translated with numerous insertions/remakes to favour the babylonian talmud cult. Talmuds stop with this ownership of Samaria and Judea – these areas belong to the Palestinians and not to the evil imposters. Criminal nutyahoo and his gang stop the holocaust of the indigenous Palestinians and learn and start living in peace among all humanity.

The jewish hat, or Judenhut (German), was a cone-shaped pointed hat, often white or yellow, that the jew in Medieval Europe were rightfully forced to wear to distinguish them from others.
Background: This is a teacher’s guide to racial instruction, covering the 4th through the 8th grades. I provide a translation of sections that strike me as particularly interesting. Bareth was an experienced teacher, and Vogel’s title is Rektor. Published in 1937.

Each German must understand the jewish question. With sure vision, the writer Anacker predicted the bitter struggle against the “Red flood,” and called for “the last reserves” in the decisive battle. In our own country, Red power ended as a result of the German revolution of 1933. Beyond our borders, however, the red plague still rages, attempting to corrupt other peoples and plunge them into misery and misfortune.
In our own land, we want to hold eternal watch. That is particularly true for you, German youth! You, too, must fight the battle and must therefore know the destroyer of all ethnic life: the jew!

“Is It a Real Ceasefire or Only a Scam?”
is the Pope a paedophile…?
When news broke that the Royal Family is making millions renting land to the NHS and charging charities like the RNLI – all without paying corporation tax – over 150,000 of us leapt into action. [1]
Together, we’ve signed petitions, made headlines, and 8,000 of us sent personal messages on Christmas cards to the King, calling on him to stop profiting from public services and charities – and to pay proper tax. [2]
But as of right now, we haven’t got them to listen. So we need to turn up the pressure even more – and we need your help to do it. Because if we’re going to get this powerful family to listen and do the right thing, we need your help to come up with our next steps.
If enough of us share our views, we can come up with the right plan to win this. Can you take this super short survey? Here’s the first question to get you started:
Do you think King Charles and Prince William should have to pay corporation tax on their huge portfolio?
Israel, going back decades, has played a duplicitous game. It signs a deal with the Palestinians that is to be implemented in phases. The first phase gives Israel what it wants — in this case the release of the Israeli hostages in Gaza — but Israel habitually fails to implement subsequent phases that would lead to a just and equitable peace. It eventually provokes the Palestinians with indiscriminate armed assaults to retaliate, defines a Palestinian response as a provocation and abrogates the ceasefire deal to reignite the slaughter.
