Article 28 continues this theme and again cites various civic organizations and fraternal orders as the malign vessels through which the Jewish people relentlessly pursue their goal of global domination. Alcoholism and drug addiction are integral tools of the Jews’ nefarious plot:
The Zionist invasion is a vicious invasion. It does not refrain from resorting to all methods, using all evil and contemptible ways to achieve its end. It relies greatly in its infiltration and espionage operations on the secret organizations it gave rise to, such as the Freemasons, The Rotary and Lions clubs, and other sabotage groups. All these organizations, whether secret or open, work in the interest of Zionism and according to its instructions. They aim at undermining societies, destroying values, corrupting consciences, deteriorating character and annihilating Islam. It is behind the drug trade and alcoholism in all its kinds so as to facilitate its control and expansion.

Egyptian swimmer Abdelrahman Sameh targeted for supporting Palestine
October 17, 2023
Egyptian swimmer Abdelrahman Sameh says he has “been getting death threats” for showing solidarity with the people of Palestine, adding he could not celebrate his gold medal at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup 2023 as war rages on in Gaza.
Sameh – also known as Abdelrahman Elaraby – won the men’s 50-metre butterfly final at the tournament held in Greece last week, but said on Sunday it was difficult for him to celebrate it after a “mentally tough week”.
“I have been getting death threats – people have been attacking me all week for supporting Palestine,” he said when asked to speak about his win.
“My family goes to sleep, not knowing if someone is going to break into my room, if somebody is going to break into my apartment. They have to wonder every time I don’t pick up a call, ‘Is he busy or is someone trying to kill him?’”
'Where's Sameh?'
Sameh has been posting news and images from the war in Gaza in an act of solidarity with the people of the besieged Strip – an act that has not gone down well with Israeli swimming officials.
One of his earlier social media posts included a political cartoon that showed the different perceptions of resistance by Palestinians and Ukrainians, according to a report on the swimming website SwimSwam.
On Friday, Israel Swimming Association Chairman Miki Halika wrote to World Aquatics – swimming’s global governing body – urging it to “take action against swimmers who support terrorism”.
“It is disheartening to see extremist ideologies tarnishing the reputation of our beloved sport,” Halika wrote in his complaint.
However, some users on X, earlier known as Twitter, noted that the Egyptian was missing or cropped out from the image showing the final list of winners that was posted on the World Aquatics account, leading them to start the trend “#WeStandWithAbdelrahmanSameh”.
Some users asked the world body “where’s Sameh” and others slammed it for allegedly cropping him out."

Over 200 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrike on hospital, Gaza Health Ministry says
Oct 17, 2023
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Gaza Health Ministry says over 200 people have been killed in what it says was an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City Hospital.
Hundreds of people were seeking shelter at the al-Ahli Hospital at the time of the blast.
Photos sent to The Associated Press showed fire engulfing the hospital halls, shattered glass and body parts scattered across the area.
There was no immediate Israeli military comment.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel bombed areas of southern Gaza where Palestinians sought safety, killing dozens of civilians and at least one senior Hamas figure Tuesday in attacks it says are targeted at militants. U.S. officials worked to convince Israel to allow delivery of supplies to desperate civilians, aid groups and hospitals after days of failed hopes for an opening in the siege.
With Israel barring entry of water, fuel and food into Gaza since Hamas’ brutal attack last week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken secured an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss creation of a mechanism for delivering aid to the territory's 2.3 million people. U.S. officials said the gain might appear modest, but stressed that it was a significant step forward.
Still, as of late Tuesday, there was no deal in place. A top Israeli official said Tuesday his country was demanding guarantees that Hamas militants would not seize any aid deliveries. Tzahi Hanegbi, head of Israel’s National Security Council, suggested entry of aid also depended on the return of hostages held by Hamas.
“The return of the hostages, which is sacred in our eyes, is a key component in any humanitarian efforts,” he told reporters, without elaborating whether Israel was demanding the release of all of the roughly 200 people Hamas abducted before allowing supplies in.
U.S. President Joe Biden prepared to head to the region as he and other world leaders tried to prevent the war from sparking a broader regional conflict. Violence flared Tuesday along Israel’s border with Lebanon, where Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants operate.
With tens of thousands of troops massed along the border, Israel has been expected to launch a ground invasion into Gaza — but plans remained uncertain.
“We are preparing for the next stages of war,” military spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said. “We haven’t said what they will be. Everybody’s talking about a ground offensive. It might be something different.”

Hundreds dead in Gaza hospital bombing, local authorities say
By Nidal Al-Mughrabi
GAZA, Oct 17 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike killed hundreds of people at a Gaza City hospital on Tuesday, health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave said, and the United Nation said an Israeli strike also hit one of its schools being used as a shelter.
A Gaza civil defence chief said on Al-Jazeera television that more than 300 people were killed at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital. A Gaza Health Ministry official said at least 500 people were killed and injured. Both departments are under the Hamas-run government.
Israel's military said it did not have any details on the reported bombing.
Earlier on Tuesday, the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA said an Israeli air strike had killed at least six people after striking one of its schools that has been functioning as a shelter for displaced people.
Health authorities in Gaza say at least 3,000 people have been killed in Israel's intense 11-day bombardment since Hamas militants rampaged into Israeli towns on Oct 6, killing more than 1,300 soldiers and civilians.
Hamas said the blast at the hospital mostly killed displaced people. A senior official for the internationally recognised Palestinian Authority, which operates in the West Bank but not in Gaza, described it as a massacre.

No excuse for this.
Gaza says 500 killed in Israeli strike on hospital where civilians were sheltering
Hundreds of people were killed after an Israeli strike fell on a hospital Tuesday in Gaza City, Palestinian officials said, marking what is estimated to be one of the deadliest Israeli airstrikes on Gaza in years.
The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza said at least 500 people died after a strike on al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, while hundreds more were injured, The Associated Press reported.
If the deaths are confirmed, it would be the deadliest strike on Gaza since 2008.
Israeli forces have been conducting massive airstrikes on Gaza in retaliation for Palestinian militant group Hamas’s surprise attack in southern Israel earlier this month.
Human rights groups and the United Nations have warned of the toll the strikes are taking on civilian, many of whom are fleeing ahead of a possible Israeli ground offensive inside Gaza.
The Palestinian Health Ministry shared several disturbing photos on social media to condemn the Israeli strikes, particularly those on hospitals.
Health officials said in a statement that “hospitals are dying” all across Gaza due to the strikes.
Other health facilities are also running out of power and supplies amid an Israeli siege of Gaza that is preventing water, food and electricity from reaching critical buildings.
“Hospitals have entered the actual collapse phase due to power outages and fuel shortage,” health officials wrote on Facebook.
Hamas released a statement calling the bombing attack a “horrific massacre.”
Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said there were no details on the strike.
“We will get the details and update the public,” he said, according to The Associated Press. “I don’t know to say whether it was an Israeli airstrike.”

I was going to say surveillance footage would be good to figure out what happened, just happened to google it.
Surveillance video appears to show failed rocket launch causing Gaza hospital blast
Surveillance camera footage shows the moment a rocket launched from the Gaza Strip appears to fall short and explode inside the Palestinian territory.
Surveillance camera footage shows the moment a rocket launched from the Gaza Strip appears to fall short and explode inside the Palestinian territory.
The video, taken from Netiv Ha’asara, appears to match footage taken by Al Jazeera, which also shows a rocket misfire landing inside Gaza.
Another video, published by Palestinian media outlets, shows the blast at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, which Israel says was caused by a failed Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.
Earlier, the Foreign Ministry disseminated video, including on the official Israel X account, claiming to show an Islamic Jihad rocket falling on the hospital.
It then edited the tweet to remove the video after some people pointed out that it appeared to date 40 minutes following the blast, and also showed one video with a date in the future.
The Foreign Ministry says firmly that “the IDF did not conduct any operations in the area at the time of impact.”

Two questions I had after this interview:
"Olmert: First of all, I think that it is the only real political solution for this lifelong conflict between Israel and Palestinian states. There is no other. Therefore, I have to believe that this is possible. Assuming that the Israeli operation in Gaza will be quick, decisive, powerful, and reasonable in terms of the price paid by the civilian population in Gaza, I think that the international community will be united against Hamas, which can give an opportunity for the Palestinian Authority to step in and to start serious negotiations. It also requires cooperation from the Israeli side."
What will the international community consider quick and reasonable price paid by civilians in Gaza? I don't believe the international community, the ones that are already involved anyway, will ever not be united against Hamas. I would have thought the opposite, the worse it gets would be more pressure for negotiations with the Palestinian Authority?
"Olmert: I’ll tell you something. Biden said that he swears that America will never allow Iran to have nuclear power. I am not certain that it will be enough. So there might be a situation where actions will have to be taken. Who will take these actions, how it will be done and what will be the possible ramifications remains to be seen considering the circumstances. But I’m afraid that something must be done. I wish I could tell you what I was planning to do, but I think it will be too sensitive."
Is that foreshadowing the inevitable? He would have been privy to planned responses to events like this in the past, for what that is worth today, I dunno.

If they blame Iran, they will strike Iran, they just want to make sure they cripple their nuclear capability when they do and that concerns Uncle Sam. Concern over the response in Gaza is why Joe is scrambling to get to the place to try and mitigate the response and civilian deaths, perhaps leading to a wider war. Personally, I think Iran supported Hamas, but their government was blindsided by this attack, be careful of who you support and arm.Two questions I had after this interview:

Shelling from Israeli tanks hit a U.N. school in central Gaza where 4,000 Palestinians had taken refuge, killing six people and wounding dozens, the United Nations Palestinian refugee agencysaid. At least 24 U.N. installations have been hit the past week, killing at least 14 of the agency’s staff.
The Israeli military said it was targeting Hamas hideouts, infrastructure and command centers.
A barrage of strikes crashed into the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, leveling an entire block of homes and causing dozens of casualties among families inside, residents said. Among those killed was one of Hamas’ top military commanders, Ayman Nofal, the group’s military wing said — the most high-profile militant known to have been killed so far in the war.
Nofal, formerly the intelligence chief of Hamas’ armed wing, was in charge of Hamas militant activities in the central Gaza Strip, including coordinating activities with other militant groups.
Netanyahu sought to put the blame on Hamas for Israel’s retaliatory attacks and the rising civilian casualties in Gaza. “Not only is it targeting and murdering civilians with unprecedented savagery, it’s hiding behind civilians,” he said.
In Gaza City, Israeli airstrikes also hit the house of Hamas’ top political official, Ismail Haniyeh, killing at least 14 people. Haniyeh is based in Doha, Qatar, but his family lives in Gaza City. The Hamas media office did not immediately identify those killed.

I dunno, I'm basing the belief on the fact our intelligence never picked it up and HAMAS said less than a half dozen in their leadership knew about it until the last moment. I'm not sure it will matter to Israel though, blindsided or not they will smite them.

The CIA issued two reports warning the Biden administration of increased Hamas threats days before attacks.
Neither Joe Biden nor other senior White House officials were briefed on the reports.
Egypt and Israel also had intelligence suggesting an upcoming terrorist onslaught.
Egypt warned Israel of a possible Hamas attack approximately three days before it occurred, per Forbes. The level of communication and the extent of this warning's reach remain uncertain.

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank appear in Israeli military courts, unlike Israeli settlers who are tried in civil courts in Israel.
The Israeli army is carrying out extensive arrests of Palestinians throughout the occupied West Bank, with some of these detentions made on suspicion of "incitement" on social media platforms.
According to Palestinian sources, nearly 700 Palestinians have been arrested by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since the outbreak of the war on 7 October.
Overnight on Monday, 16 October, 51 Palestinians were detained in the occupied West Bank. The long list of detainees includes former Palestinian minister Issa Ja'abri and the head of the disbanded Palestinian Legislative Council, Dr Aziz Dweik. Both are members of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas.
An Israeli military spokesperson said more than 200 Hamas members have been detained in the occupied West Bank since 7 October.
Addameer, a Palestinian rights group, stated that legal intervention on behalf of the Palestinian detainees is being impeeded by Israeli authorities.
Following the outbreak of hostilities, the Israeli army invoked the so-called military order No. 1651, which permits the arrest of a person for up to 8 days before being presented to the court. Palestinians in the occupied West Bank appear in Israeli military courts, unlike Israeli settlers who are tried in civil courts in Israel. Before 7 October, Palestinian prisoners typically appeared in court within 96 hours of arrest. The Israeli army said the procedure is implemented as part of " a military campaign against terrorism".
Lawyers, according to Addameer, face problems locating the detainee, including a 48-hour waiting period imposed by the authorities.
At least 5,200 Palestinians are in Israeli jails in the occupied West Bank and Israel, of which 1,264 are held under "administrative detention" without a trial.
