After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

Verified document from Israeli Ministry of Intelligence in October 2023 suggests forced displacement of Gaza civilians to Egypt would "yield positive and long term strategic results".

The advisory document envisions a three stage process including the establishment of tent cities in Sinai and opening of humanitarian corridor, followed by construction of cities in northern Sinai from which there would be no return.

Israel has AIPAC; the Palestinians have Time.

Meta is removing my footages and documentations for the Israeli genocide against my people.
It’s been a couple of weeks for the daily removal of my posts.

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

Every year Israelis go around Jerusalem hunting Palestinians to torture and abuse.

Think Spanish “running the bull” with all its cruelty but directed at humans.

This event is supported by their government and police (and of course US taxpayer).

The victim here was arrested.

HIND’S HALL. Once it’s up on streaming all proceeds to UNRWA.

I am at Charles De Gaule airport. They are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate today. They say the Germans put a 1 year ban on my entry to Europe.

Using datasets from Palestine Datasets by @tech4palestine, I created Remember Gaza -- https://t.co/RSxMljs2ta

The website lists all identified victims, killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

Every name has its own story and future.

I never thought that, in 2024, we would be watching such vicious & criminal behavior in slow motion, out in the open, w/abetting bureaucrats & intellectuals spining convoluted arguments to drum up support to an anachronistic settler-colonial murderous project.

This is incredible. Rob Oliphant, whose job is to defend Canada's foreign policy in Parliament, got recorded in a private phone call admitting how disgusting Canada's de-funding of UNRWA is, and that he does believe Israel is committing genocide.
https://t.co/q0idpzMeW6

Here what he said on the leaked recording of the call:

"When I read that we were pausing money to UNRWA — I'm going to be very clear — it was political. And I don't just mean domestic politics. It has to do with our allies. I thought it was the wrong decision."

In short: nothing to do with the allegations against UNRWA (which to this day are still unproven), everything to do with the US pressuring Canada to de-fund it.

Oliphant also said on the call that, even if the Israeli allegation is true, he doesn't agree with the Trudeau government's response: "You don't stop aid to Gaza because of 12 or 13 employees out of 13,000. It drives me crazy. It is opportunistic, it is unfair, and it is maligning the operation of a UN organization that is doing, not perfect work — there's no organization that's made of human beings that's perfect, UNRWA has its faults. But it is the best we have for education, for medical care, for food, all of those things.

My heart falls down in my body. My heart hurts, because the only way to get that aid there is UNRWA.

We can't have 200 trucks a day. We need 800 trucks a day. We need more entry points. We need water access from the Mediterranean. And we need to push on those points. But we also need UNRWA, which is the only body that has the infrastructure to deliver the aid."

Oliphant said that any decision to divert UNRWA aid to other channels likely would be symbolic, because "the reality is that UNICEF or World Food Program or other agencies are going to have to use the same people that work for UNRWA. It's political and it's driving me crazy."

He added: "I will defend UNRWA forever. Their work in Lebanon, their work in Jordan, I've been there, I've been to the refugee camps. I've examined the curriculum that people have gone crazy about, saying it's antisemitic. I don't believe it is. I think UNRWA is maligned every day."

On the call he also said he does believe Israel is committing "genocidal activity": "Do I believe there's genocidal activity on the part of Israel? Probably yes, from what I have seen."

He says Netanyahu is hurting not only Gaza but Israel too: "Netanyahu is hurting Israel. Not only killing Gazans, but hurting Israel. So for the love of Israel, tell him to stop."

Lastly he said that Israel — not other countries — should be made to pay the cost of the war: "Israel needs to pay for rebuilding the country it destroyed. I don't want to pay for that," he said, before acknowledging that Canada likely will be called on to contribute something, along with Gulf Arab nations...

As people ammassed in Rafah desperately call for protection, the picture of what remains of 12yrs old Sidra, hanging on the wall of a destroyed building, is haunting.

[Ione Belarra @ionebelarra]

We cannot allow those who oversee compliance with International Law and Human Rights in the occupied Palestinian territories to become targets of Israel.

We fully support you, @FranceskAlbs. We will not tolerate this maneuver that seeks to conceal their atrocities.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

If you see genocide and don't shout genocide you are a genocidaire.

[Pelham @Resist_05]

🇮🇱 Israel just bombed a refugee camp in Rafah… this is the worst war crime in modern history

THIS IS A GENOCIDE…🇵🇸💔

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Thank you Craig. The present is painfully revealing. I refuse to be intimidated by those complicit in the perpetuation of the #Nakba –forced displacement, killing & grave harm aimed at preventing return.Denial won't erase the tragedy,as history repeats with even greater ferocity.

[Ione Belarra @ionebelarra]

Israel cannot continue to cover up its image internationally while committing genocide in Palestine. Today, along with several Members of the European Parliament, we call for Israel's exclusion from the Eurovision. The EU public bodies cannot continue to gloss over the barbarism.

[Kim Dotcom @KimDotcom]

@elonmusk Good thing that X users can dissect everything that Putin will say. Speaking of propaganda, how about your friend Netanyahu who murdered 13,000 children since October 8 and used you for a PR stunt? He’s charged with genocide in what the ICJ calls a plausible case. Any comment?

[Paul Biggar 🇵🇸🇮🇪 @paulbiggar]

The answer here is that Israel is manipulating @X via their sites moovers and wordsofiron. They're making a fool out of @elonmusk and free speech
