In today’s show, we’ll be exposing the lengths to which the Zionist entity goes, in recruiting people from outside Israel, to join its glorified killing machine, otherwise known as the Israeli Occupation forces.
In our first report, Latifa Abouchakra highlights the groups who are engaged in this nefarious activity.
Our next report looks at war tourism in Israel, and how the Zionist entity indoctrinates children with hate to maintain the supply chain of new recruits for its killing machine.
Among the demands made in the Sarajevo declaration of the Gaza Tribunal, are an “immediate withdrawal” of Israeli forces from Gaza, an end to forced displacement of its people, and resumption of humanitarian aid.
The Sarajevo Declaration of the Gaza Tribunal was released Thursday morning, following three days of public hearings at the International University of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“We believe that the world is approaching a dangerous precipice, the front edge of which is in Palestine,” a People’s Tribunal on the Gaza genocide declared today in Sarajevo, and “dangerous forces” are “pushing us toward the abyss.”
Inspired by past People’s Tribunals — most notably the 1966 Russell Tribunal on the US war on Vietnam, and the 2003-2005 World Tribunal on the US’s war on Iraq – the Gaza Tribunal was launched in London in November 2024.
Faced with a “total failure of the organised international community to implement international law in the most severe, visible case of genocide in real time,” the Gaza Tribunal’s website states, it aims to legitimize “an alternative paradigm of international law, one that derives its authority from people and their sense of justice rather than relying solely on governments and their institutions.”
The Gaza Tribunal is governed by an eight-member Steering Committee headed by Richard Falk, Emeritus Professor of International Law and former US Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestine, assisted by a 29-member Advisory Policy Council of civil society leaders and public intellectuals from Palestine, Europe and North America. Among these: Diana Buttu, Susan Abulhawa, Mouin Rabbani, Raja Shehadeh, Ghassan Abu Sittah, Mazin Qumsiyeh, Cornel West, Judith Butler, Yanis Varoufakis, Tariq Ali, Mary Kaldor, Naomi Klein, and Jeremy Corbyn.
The Tribunal’s final judgement will be rendered by a ‘Jury of Conscience’ composed of a half dozen judges, following closing hearings in Istanbul in late October. That judgement, together with personal testimony, civil society submissions, and closing reports from each of the Tribunal’s three Chambers, will be incorporated into a set of public archives that will remain open for continuing submissions.

Students set up new encampment after 'months of frustration' as the university failed to deliver on pledges to review its investments last year
Students at the UK’s University of Cambridge have relaunched a protest encampment outside Trinity College, one of its largest and wealthiest colleges, calling on the institution to disclose and divest from companies complicit in Israel’s war on Gaza.
The group behind the protest, Cambridge for Palestine (C4P), is demanding the University “take urgent steps” to end what it calls its “moral and material complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.”
C4P says Trinity College holds investments in companies such as Elbit Systems, Caterpillar, L3Harris Technologies, and Barclays - despite the university's previous commitment to review its “responsible investment” policy following a similar months-long encampment last year.
In a statement, C4P said the renewed protest came after “months of student, faculty, and community frustration” over the University’s failure to honour those pledges.
The group outlined four core demands, including full disclosure of financial ties to companies implicated in Israeli violations of international law, full divestment from them, and reinvestment in Palestinian communities.
This includes support for Palestinian students and academics at Cambridge, rebuilding higher education institutions in Gaza, and forming partnerships with Palestinian universities. (more...)

Suffering under fascism in no way immunizes any group against falling for it
Somehow, despite Israel’s 20-month carnage in Gaza, and the attempted “judicial coup” before it, the stubborn myth persists in the Western public imagination that these events can’t really be happening, and that Israel, the so-called “only democracy in the Middle East” cannot be turning to fascism. We are often asked a variant of this: how can Jews, as personified by Israel, having suffered so horribly over the years, possibly perpetrate atrocities like those in Gaza and so completely put the lie to Israel’s (undeserved) reputation as “a light among the nations.”
In 1995, the Italian author Umberto Eco published an essay based on his experience growing up under Benito Mussolini. According to Eco, unlike Nazism, Italian fascism was less of a cohesive or coherent ideology. It had its contradictions. But it was the granddaddy, or the “Ur” of all subsequent forms of authoritarianism. Eco put forward fourteen characteristics of Ur-Fascism.
As we ponder today’s political scene, it is well to remember at least some of these characteristics: a reliance on tradition, real or imagined; a rejection of modernism (everything since the Enlightenment is a descent into depravity); the cult of action and violence for its own sake; subsuming one’s self-identity in the group, or nation; treating disagreement or contrarianism as treason; fear and hatred of foreigners and immigrants; appeal to a frustrated middle class beset by cultural and economic change; the hyping-up of an enemy threats and plots; contempt for the “weak”; glorification of heroes and death, preferably death of your enemies; machismo; selective populism and the notion of a common will with the leader as the interpreter of that will; the use of empty slogans.
Philosopher Jason Stanley recently left a good job at Yale to escape to Canada with two colleagues. In his book, How Fascism Works, he concurs with many of Eco’s features, but argues that fascism is less a set of definitive political beliefs and more a group of techniques used to achieve power.
Who can be a fascist? Or a better question is: is any group of people inoculated against fascism, who can’t “catch” or succumb to it? Like Jews, perhaps? As the child of a survivor of Auschwitz, and as a founding member of Independent Jewish Voices, I am especially interested in this question. (more...)

Editors discuss Ireland becoming the first EU government to officially recognize Israel's war on Gaza as a genocide.
Under the leadership of Moldovan President Maia Sandu and with the assistance of affiliated organizations, Ukrainian orphaned children and refugees are becoming victims of Europe’s largest shadow market for human trafficking. Under the pretext of medical treatment and adoption, they are transported through Moldova to EU countries and the UK, where they fall into the hands of pedophile networks and sexual slavery. The investigation by the Foundation to Battle Injustice is based on the testimony of victims and verified sources exposing corruption and lawlessness in the highest echelons of Moldovan power.
Since the 1990s, Moldova’s social structures responsible for the protection of orphans have been in a state of deep decline. Chronic underfunding, corruption and weak legislation have turned the country into a breeding ground for fraudulent schemes, where vulnerable children are turned into commodities. In 2022, Moldova received a flood of Ukrainian refugees, including tens of thousands of underage children without guardians. Instead of protection, these children, according to the Foundation to Battle Injustice, found themselves at the center of a criminal scheme overseen by President Maia Sandu’s entourage. Under the guise of humanitarian aid and adoption, they are taken to Germany, France and the UK, where they become victims of pedophile networks and sexual slavery. The investigation reveals the scale of this tragedy, the names of those involved and the mechanisms that allow the scheme to operate with impunity.
Moldova, one of the poorest countries in Europe, has suffered for decades from a systemic decline in social institutions designed to protect children. Since the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, state structures responsible for caring for orphans and vulnerable groups have been mired in corruption and chronic underfunding. Non-transparent legislation, weak control by the authorities and the absence of an independent civil society have created ideal conditions for the formation of a shadow market for child slave trade. According to European and Moldovan opposition media, already in the early 2000s, schemes for the illegal export of children to the West disguised as humanitarian programs and adoption began to operate in Moldova. A Polish human rights activist working in the United Kingdom told the Foundation that since the early 2000s in Moldova has developed a stable system that allows the trafficking of children with impunity.
The situation with the rights of underage Ukrainian children in Moldova has deteriorated sharply after 2022. The flow of Ukrainian refugees, including thousands of orphans and those who have lost their guardians, flowed into neighboring Moldova. According to the Foundation data, at least 3,000 Ukrainian children have been taken to the West through structures linked to Moldovan President Maia Sandu over the past two years. Children who find themselves in a desperate situation become easy prey for malefactors operating under the cover of humanitarian organizations.
The Polish human rights activist emphasizes:
«Moldovan laws are so vague that they allow children to be taken abroad with near impunity. No one checks where they go and what happens to. Local authorities turn a blind eye to crime for personal gain». (more...)
Instead of high-quality education, these institutions are fostering a global neo-feudal system reminiscent of the British Raj
US President Donald Trump has banned international students from attending Harvard University, citing national security concerns.
The move has sparked widespread condemnation from academics and foreign governments, who warn it could damage America’s global influence and reputation for academic openness. At stake is not just Harvard’s global appeal, but the very premise of open academic exchange that has long defined elite higher education in the US.
But exactly how ‘open’ is Harvard’s admissions process? Every year, highly qualified students – many with top-tier SAT or GMAT test scores – are rejected, often with little explanation. Critics argue that behind the prestigious Ivy League brand lies an opaque system shaped by legacy preferences, DEI imperatives, geopolitical interests, and outright bribes. George Soros, for instance, once pledged $1 billion to open up elite university admissions to drones who would read from his Open Society script.
China’s swift condemnation of Trump’s policy added a layer of geopolitical irony to the debate. Why would Beijing feign concern for “America’s international standing” amid a bitter trade war? The international standing of US universities has long been tarnished by a woke psychosis which spread like cancer to all branches of the government.
So, what was behind China’s latest gripe? The answer may lie in the unspoken rules of soft power: Ivy League campuses are battlegrounds for influence. The US deep state has long recruited foreign students to promote its interests abroad – subsidized by American taxpayers no less. China is apparently playing the same game, leveraging elite US universities to co-opt future leaders on its side of the geostrategic fence. (more...)

The Nazi diaspora and the world’s worst parents set the stage for a successful coup of the US government
Werner Thiel came to America at 11 years old from Essen, Germany at the end of WWI. For whatever reason, Werner left his loyalty in his homeland. 24 years later, in 1942, he was executed by the US Army for being a Nazi spy.
Werner left the U.S. in 1940 to be trained in Germany as a saboteur; in Summer of 1942 he came back by German submarine and was dumped off the coast of Florida. Luckily, he and his seven co-conspirators were caught before executing their plans.
I have no evidence that Werner Thiel was closely related to Peter, but Werner provides an example of exactly what Nazis always do. They lie, defraud, infiltrate and sabotage. Nazis don’t announce themselves as Nazis until it’s much too late to do anything about it.
Hitler’s Operation Pastorius was just one of numerous efforts to corrupt and weaponize German-Americans against their adopted country before and during WWII, which is why another operation, an American one, can be seen as one of the worst mistakes in American military and intelligence history.

How Operation Paperclip Captured America
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal pays tribute to the late filmmaker Marcel Ophuls and puts his famous documentary on Nazi-occupied France, The Sorrow and the Pity, in the context of contemporary resistance in the West to Israel's genocide in Gaza.
“It is hard to really conjure a mitigation measure that could reduce the level of risk of arms transfers to Israel.”
A federal government agency that assists Canadian arms exporters prepared a report last year documenting 99 cases of alleged Israeli crimes, but later considered any risks associated with a shipment of artillery components that included goods destined for Israel to be “appropriately mitigated.”
The Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC), a Crown corporation that helps Canadian manufacturers secure military contracts with foreign states, did not disclose how it came to that conclusion, which has left arms control advocates baffled and shocked.
Kelsey Gallagher, a researcher with Project Ploughshares who first drew attention to the shipment, told The Maple: “Given the level of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, it is hard to really conjure a mitigation measure that could reduce the level of risk of arms transfers to Israel below the threshold of substantial.”
The U.S. Department of Defence named the CCC last September as the signatory of the deal to supply Israel with up to $78.8 million of artillery propellants.
CCC signed the deal on behalf of General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems - Canada in Valleyfield, Quebec (GD-OTS), the sole source supplier of the product.
The deal was a modification of an existing $1.79 billion contract dating back to 2019 for the general supply of artillery propellants to the U.S. military. The main contract is one of the largest ever between a Canadian supplier and the United States.
The propellants in question are used to fire 155mm artillery shells, a caliber of munition that Israel has used heavily in its attacks on Gaza
The deal flew in the face of the Liberal government’s claimed policy of halting all arms exports to Israel. After Project Ploughshares drew attention to the deal in March, Global Affairs Canada (GAC) told The Maple that it remained “in communication with the parties involved to ensure compliance with Canada’s rigorous export controls regime.”
GAC did not say if it was intervening to terminate the deal, and did not respond to a request for comment for this story. Liberal Party politicians, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, similarly avoided questions about it during the recent federal election campaign.
New documents obtained by The Maple through an access to information request reveal that months before Project Ploughshares brought details about the deal to light, CCC was closely examining Israel’s human rights abuses, including those allegedly committed with 155mm artillery shells, and noting reports about the United States diverting shipments of that type of munition from their originally intended destinations to Israel.
Despite this, CCC considered the human rights risks associated with the artillery propellants deal to be “appropriately mitigated.” How exactly it reached that conclusion, however, remains unclear. (more...)
Government Export Agency Noted 99 Israeli Crimes, But OK’d Arms Sale
Yesterday, the lucky winner of the last federal election, the new Prime Minister Carney, welcomed with great fanfare Charles Windsor (or, as he’s quaintly titled, King Charles III). Today around noon, the King delivered the throne speech and opened Parliament with “an emphasis on Canadian sovereignty”—a message aimed at both President Donald Trump and trade-war-weary Canadians. Faced with annexation provocations from the White House, Carney has chosen to assert Canada’s sovereignty by… having the reigning monarch of England perform a hollow ceremony on Parliament Hill.
Speaking in front of the Commons today, Mr. Windsor said the Crown “represents stability and continuity from the past to the present. As it should, it stands proudly as a symbol of Canada today, in all her richness and dynamism.” But allow us to doubt that.
Let's take a look at Canada's relationship with the Crown and what it says about the state of the country.
As a member of the British Commonwealth, alongside countries like Australia or New Zealand, the foundations of Canada's existence are based in British colonial law. The British North American Act (BNA) was the law passed in 1867 that birthed the Canadian confederacy.
Some changes and amendments were made over the course of over a century. In 1982, Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed the Constitution Act in Ottawa, transferring all legislative power over Canada from London to the federal and provincial governments.
Today, the Crown has no practical power over Canadian governance, but all Canadian governance is in the name of the Crown. It serves as a symbolic figure that, according to the government, acts “to unite Canadians and give a collective sense of belonging to our country.” That is to say, the Crown serves to differentiate Canada from the United States.
There is a distinct irony in using Canada's history as a subject of Britain to respond to the threat that Canada be made a subject of the USA. Parading last century's monarch doesn't scream “unified and sovereign state.” Rather, it recalls the bygone era of Canada's dependence on Britain and highlights fissures between and within Canada's nations.

A group of congressmen have also raised concerns over the EU’s silence on Warsaw’s refusal to release campaign funds to the opposition party
US lawmakers have called on the European Commission to address suspected election fraud in Poland, voicing concern over what they describe as a biased approach ahead of the country’s June 1 presidential runoff.
In a letter to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast and fellow members expressed “profound alarm” over developments “undermining the integrity of democratic processes” in Poland. The letter cited foreign-funded online campaigns backing liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski and the Polish government’s refusal to release public funds to the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party.
The concerns centered on political ads favoring Trzaskowski, backed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s Civic Coalition, which were allegedly financed from abroad. Poland’s digital watchdog NASK earlier this month flagged paid Facebook ads that promoted Trzaskowski while targeting right-wing candidates Karol Nawrocki and Slawomir Mentzen.
While the funding source remains unverified, a Polish outlet linked the campaign to a local NGO connected to US Democratic donor George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. US lawmakers warned the campaign “may have occurred in contravention of Polish law.” (more...)

This nation is looking to become NATO’s war machine. What will Russia do?
Should we be seeking to weaken Canada’s main Jewish organizations? If you oppose authoritarianism, racism and genocide the answer is obvious.
On Sunday the largest Jewish organization in Canada organized a holocaust walk. United Jewish Appeal of Toronto brought out tens of thousands to “Walk for Israel” as that country pursues its final solution in Gaza. UJA Toronto’s website explained “JOIN THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES AS WE STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER TO SEND A POWERFUL MESSAGE: OUR CONNECTION TO ISRAEL IS UNWAVERING.” The date for the event was chosen to celebrate “Jerusalem Day” when Israel conquered the illegally occupied east of that city in 1967.
As Israel starves Palestinians in a bid to cleanse Gaza of non-Jews, it’s hard to wrap ones’ heads around the collective depravity that would draw up to fifty thousand on to the streets 8,000 kilometres away in support of these horrors. The walk highlights the extent to which Canadian Jewry has followed their Israeli brethren down the path of a moral abyss.
A recent poll by Pennsylvania University found that one in two (47%) of Israeli Jews want to see all non-Jews killed in Gaza. Additionally, four in five (82%) want to ethnically cleanse all non-Jews from the coastal strip.
In a sign of that society’s sadism, a group of Israelis recently organized a barbecue near the Gaza border to mock those being starved kilometres away. Similarly, an army reservist doctor — who works at an Israeli hospital subsidized by Canadian charitable donations — recently compared killing Gazans to “eliminating cockroaches and other loathsome insects … within the framework of preventative medicine.” (more...)

...George Hodel was a prominent Jewish physician with a genius level IQ, working in Hollywood in the 1940s. His father was born George Goldgefter in Odessa in 1873. Goldgefter changed his name to Hodel, married a Jewish woman in Paris, and moved to America, where George Hodel, Jr. was born.
George Jr. was a child prodigy, playing piano concerts at the age of nine and graduating from high school at the age of fourteen. He would grow up to up to be a womanizer, child molester, and murderer. It's a story with an amazing cast of characters.
There's beautiful Eurasian Kiyo, left, the astrologer to the stars. Young Steve Hodel met Kiyo when he was in his early 20s, fell in love, and married her. She told him she was 28, and looked it. Turns out she was actually in her 40s. She'd had an affair with Steve's father, George Hodel, when she was twenty-years-old. George dumped her, so she married his son Steve decades later as a means of revenge. It's likely that at the time Kiyo married Steve, she knew that the elder Hodel was the Black Dahlia killer.
There's Tamar Hodel, a teen temptress and Marilyn Monroe lookalike, and the daughter of George Hodel. He took nude pictures of her when she was thirteen, molested and impregnated her when she was fourteen, and then forced her to have an abortion. She ran away from home. When the cops found her, she told them what her father had done and a trial took place. Despite numerous witnesses who corroborated Tamar's story, George's lawyers ripped her to pieces on the witness stand and George was acquitted. After the trial, George immediately fled the country.
There's John Huston, the famous movie director and an avowed sadist. He, too, plays a part in the proceedings. He tried to rape Tamar Hodel when she was eleven, and he had an affair with one of George's many wives. In fact, he's rumored to be the father of one of Steve Hodel's brothers. According to Steve Hodel's book, Huston was obsessed with the Marquis de Sade and enjoyed hurting people. (more...)

While the tactics of repression may differ between the U.S. and Canada, they often share a common foundation: the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism.
Pro-Israel lobbyists and government officials are pushing IHRA to shield Israel from criticism while it carries out a genocide that has to date killed over 55,000 Palestinians. Their latest tool? The Canadian Handbook on the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism.

Nearly 300 thousand people have since arrived through that program.

Canada starved Indigenous children, and is now failing to prevent history from repeating itself in Gaza.
I remain haunted by the memory of holding a starving child in my arms.
This memory from a few months ago is more visceral than intellectual — the tactile sensation of her marasmus skin on my fingertips was the texture of an ancient papyrus, too delicate to touch without disintegrating in my hands. Her body, totally devoid of subcutaneous fat, lay still — emaciated and limp as I examined her, a deep sense of dread rising in my chest.
She was too dehydrated to cry and too malnourished to panic. I remember her large, steady eyes, observing without emotion — sheer exhaustion had given her an air of age and wisdom. She was other-worldly in her presentation: incompatible with life, yet alive.
Few health-care providers in Canada will experience an encounter like this in their practice. Indigenous communities face staggering levels of food insecurity; however, starvation is uncommon, and medical management for it is complicated. Refeeding after severe malnutrition can trigger fatal shifts in fluids and electrolytes, so it requires intense monitoring and caution.
It also requires experience, and as a family physician working alone in an Indigenous community, I needed guidance. Thus, I reached out to a physician colleague who, due to years spent providing medical care in Gaza, had expertise in this matter.
Israeli-imposed hunger has long tormented the 2.1 million Palestinians living in Gaza, almost half of whom are children. For nearly 18 years, Israel has maintained total control over Gaza through an illegal blockade that has included limiting the calorie count allowed per person at times. Over the past 19 months, this daily reality has devolved into an unmitigated catastrophe. (more...)
Genocide By Starvation: Israel And Canada’s Shared Crime
Most Canadians quietly accept the legitimacy of unaccountable public and private power
As Victoria Day memories fade, monarchists may already be rehearsing their bow and curtsy routines for the May 26-27 visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
These visitations inspire me to question both the value and purpose of royalty. I feel no personal loyalty to these wealthy strangers whose unrestrained forbearers cruelly oppressed the ancestors of many Canadians, including mine. Nevertheless, Canada’s government and many institutions remain smitten by the monarchy and ignore its dark history.
Charles’ visit reminds me that most Canadians quietly accept the legitimacy of unaccountable public and private power. Such deference continues to facilitate military violence perpetrated to protect and expand the profitability of transnational corporations while countless lives and even cultures are destroyed.
This deference helps explain the lingering presence of archaic royal figures whose public roles are often falsely defended as merely ceremonial rather than ideological. Therefore, some background on the current king is vital.
King Charles and his wealthy family still receive generous public subsidies. This support, officially justified by the royals’ popularity as a lucrative tourist attraction, creates the impression that the royal family has become a commercial enterprise with strong links to the state. Instead, this tourist enterprise is just the latest manifestation of British royalty’s transactional relationship with the government.
It is implausible that British royalty acquired their ancient wealth and possessions through conventional business practices rather than economic and military coercion. Why seek lawful transactions when your military power silences or crushes opposition to your goals?
Like many wealthy men, Charles diverts a portion of his inherited income to charitable causes like scholarships and youth programs. This minor largesse is meagre reparation for centuries of royal profiteering at the expense of peoples unable to resist British domination. (more...)

📖 Read Beyond Belief: How Pentecostal Christianity Is Taking Over the World
Of the many dark motifs that have characterized Israel’s attempt to conquer Palestine, one has put itself center stage in recent times. The murder of Israelis by Israelis themselves (as well as the murder of pro-Israeli Jews).
This is often done in the name of upholding the Zionist project – Israel’s state ideology.
In Miami Beach in February, Mordechai Brafman, a 27-year-old American, fired 17 shots at two Israeli tourists after mistaking them for Palestinians.
According to the arrest affidavit, he bragged to the police about what he had done, telling them he had seen two Palestinians and shot and killed them both.
The victims, who survived with minor injuries, were not in fact Palestinians. Their names were Ari and Yarin Rabey, a Jewish-Israeli father and son visiting the area.
During their time in the hospital, the son, unaware that the attacker was a Jewish American, posted on social media that the shooting had an “anti-Semitic” motive. He ended the post with the phrase “Death to the Arabs.”
How does one explain this?
A racist attacks two people because he mistakenly believed them to be from the inferior race.
Next, one of the victims believed the attacker was a member of the inferior race, then called for death to that race. While Brafman’s attorneys have claimed that he was experiencing a severe mental health crisis at the time, it is telling that this alleged crisis manifested itself in the form of a racist attempted murder.
When the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians is the norm, it should be of little surprise to find that this murderous mindset is applied more widely. (more...)
