🚨 Israeli Plan to Herd Palestinians Into Controlled “Shelters” to Begin “Within A Matter of Weeks”

🔸Israel is preparing to channel Palestinians into fenced “humanitarian shelters” in areas outside Hamas’s control, policed by a foreign force, while its military deepens its occupation of the rest of Gaza, according to the pro-Netanyahu paper Israel Hayom, which reported the plan approvingly.

🔸Under the plan, unarmed civilians would be directed to a first zone in Tel al-Sultan, near Rafah, an area Drop Site has documented Israel systematically razing.

🔸A “multinational force” - the ISF - operating under the Trump administration’s “Board of Peace” would deploy there from a newly built base, equipped to police the zones, while the Israeli military “continues to maintain and deepen its hold” beyond the Yellow Line.

🔸 The camp/base for the force “has already been built,” and the Board of Peace has “begun identifying sites” for logistics warehouses, with the groundwork underway now, and deployment in the coming weeks.

🔸The paper described the effort as a “pincer movement”: the military seizing more territory as the population is siphoned into the controlled zones, in the hope that Hamas is left “without a population, territory or resources.”

🔸Officials said the areas would receive caravans and aid, but not the concrete needed to actually rebuild Gaza.

◽️The plan matches what Drop Site has previously exposed through leaked documents: a surveilled, checkpoint-controlled “planned community” in Rafah designed to force Palestinians into what amounts to an Israeli panopticon, tracked and screened as a condition of receiving aid.

🔸An Israeli political source told the paper the military would keep up “the pace of targeted killings while remaining below the threshold of international criticism… as long as Hamas is unwilling to disarm.”

📸 The buildup is already visible: the “Board of Peace” itself posted images of tactical vehicles arriving at a logistics base on June 30, matching the article’s account of preparations underway.

🚨President Trump has formally declared “major combat operations” against Iran. He defines the goal is regime change.

🔹Says U.S. will:
• Destroy Iran’s missile program
• “Raise their missile industry to the ground”
• “Annihilate” Iran’s navy
• Eliminate the operational ability of Iran-backed militias
• Prevent roadside bomb and proxy attacks

🔹 Warning of U.S. casualties
He acknowledged American service members may die and that casualties are possible. Said the war is needed for the future

🔹 Message to Iranian military and IRGC:
He issued an ultimatum to lay down your weapons and receive “complete immunity,” or face “certain death.”

🔹 Call for internal uprising in Iran
He addressed the Iranian public directly:
• Told them to stay indoors during bombings
• Said bombs would be “dropping everywhere”
• Urged them to “take over your government” after U.S. operations conclude
• Called it possibly their “only chance for generations”

🔹 His Justification: 47 years of hostility
He cited Iran’s “Death to America” rhetoric and decades of attacks, including:
• 1979 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis (444 days)
• 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut (241 U.S. troops killed)
• Alleged involvement in the USS Cole attack
• U.S. casualties in Iraq from Iranian-backed forces
• Ongoing attacks by Iran-allied groups on U.S. forces and shipping

He claimed, without evidence, that Iran is developing long-range missiles capable of reaching Europe, U.S. troops abroad, and potentially the American homeland.

🟡 NEW: A former Google employee has filed a confidential SEC whistleblower complaint alleging the company violated its own AI ethics rules by assisting an Israeli military contractor with analyzing drone surveillance footage in 2024, according to reporting by The Washington Post.

Internal documents show Google staff responded to a support request linked to an IDF email and Israeli firm CloudEx, allegedly an IDF contractor, seeking help improving Gemini AI’s ability to identify drones, vehicles, and soldiers in aerial video. At the time, Google’s public AI principles barred use of AI for weapons or surveillance.

The complaint argues Google misled investors by contradicting those policies. Google disputes the claim, saying it only provided generic help-desk guidance and that the AI usage was minimal.

“The alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.” ⬇️

A massive story by my colleague @PeterCronau that should be a huge scandal.
Australia continues to send F-35 weapons parts to Israel, on commercial planes, while Israel continues its genocide in Gaza.
In a normal country, this would be front page news and heads would roll:

Israel has just bombed Doha. Yesterday they bombed Tunis in attack on the flotilla. Last week they murdered the Prime Minister of Yemen. These are brazen acts of war. What other country gets away with all of this?

We desperately need to get genocide scholarship out do the hands of Western gatekeepers. This is a UK genocide professor claiming in whole sincerity Algerians committed genocide *against the French* in 1945. My ancestors are rolling

You know what? If you’re a Western journalist who hasn’t spoken up while more than 200 of your colleagues have been slaughtered then just keep Anas’s name out of your mouth. We’re not interested anymore. It’s too late.

Israel just bombed the UNRWA clinic in Gaza City. They’re destroying what’s left of Gaza’s health system and there’s zero media coverage.
