[ZeroHedge] Leaked US Army Documents: Thousands Of Violent Venezuelan Prison Gang Members Run Amok Across America
Investigative reporter James O'Keefe published unclassified information from the US Army North Division on X, revealing that the Venezuelan prison gang wreaking havoc across the northern Denver suburb of Aurora has become a nationwide crisis. Law-abiding Americans will soon feel the growing consequences of the Biden-Harris administration's failed open southern border policies (recall what's happening in Springfield, Ohio) of importing the third world into the first world.
"O'Keefe Media Group has obtained Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) from the US Army of the North Division, highlighting the growing presence of one of Venezuela's largest criminal organizations in the US. The document states that Tren de Aragua "has established a presence in Brooklyn, Bronx, and Williamsburg, NY, "with "approximately 400 TdA members" living in these cities. The CUI also warns that TdA members in Denver "have been given a 'green light' to fire on or attack law enforcement," with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in New York receiving a similar report.
The document details how the criminal organization is using advanced technology and surveillance, heightening the danger to US military personnel and law enforcement. It states, "Coordinated efforts between local, state, federal law enforcement, and the military are crucial" to protect against these expanding threats.
With National Guardsmen recently seen in subway stations across New York City, the situation is escalating as Venezuelan gang members, linked to the TdA, have been involved in violent incidents, including an attack on a Colorado apartment complex in late August.

If by some chance, Trump can overcome the illegal vote (all flavors), would he actually do anything about this? IIRC, he didn't do a thing about the BLM and Antifa thugs, presumably because he didn't want to come on all heavy in an election year.
Nobody cared when illegals were killing people in DUI crashes, raping them in shelters, strangling them on college campuses, beating cops in Times Square
Republicans — including Senators Vance and Cruz and the House Judiciary Committee — are using online rumors that Haitian migrants colonists in Ohio are stealing and eating pets as evidence of Biden-Harris’s failed immigration policy. The only problem is that no such reports have been brought to local police.
According to a local newspaper at Springfield, the News-Sun, police at the central Ohio city have not received any reports related to pets being stolen and eaten. While the police were aware that the allegations were being shared on social media, such crimes are "not something that’s on our radar right now," the police department told the Springfield News-Sun on Monday morning.
The Springfield police department has not yet responded to the Sun’s request for comment. The accusations being levied against the Haitian community are being described by the New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... as "false." They are being used by Republicans to criticize the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies.
"Months ago, I raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants colonists draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio," the GOP vice presidential nominee, Senator Vance, wrote in a post on X on Monday morning. "Reports now show that people have had their pets kidnapped and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country. Where is our border czar?"
Senator Cruz joined in by posting an image on X of two cats embracing with the text "Please vote for Trump so Haitian immigrants colonists don’t eat us." The House Judiciary GOP posted an AI-generated image on X of President Trump holding a duck and a kitten in his arms, adding, "Protect our ducks and kittens in Ohio."
Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... Jr. shared an NBC news headline from June which announced that the Biden administration would provide temporary protected status to more than 300,000 Haitian immigrants colonists. "Less than three months ago, Kamala Harris It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day and her Administration blocked 300k unvetted Haitian Migrants from being deported out of our country," the junior Mr. Trump wrote on X. "Today, those unvetted migrants colonists are sucking up precious resources and destroying Springfield, Ohio. Kamala Harris did this."
The pet-napping allegations gained traction after a conservative pundit, Charlie Kirk, claimed on Sunday in a widely shared post on X that "Residents of Springfield, OH are reporting that Haitians are eating their family pets, another gift of the Biden-Harris mass immigration replacement plan."
"Liberals will soon be lecturing Americans on why they need to be sensitive to Haitian culture and accept this as the new normal," Mr. Kirk added. "Those idiots deserve to be condemned and mocked mercilessly. Save our pets. Secure our borders." Mr. Kirk shared a screenshot of a post made in a private Facebook group, Springfield Ohio Crime and Information, in which a local accused Haitian migrants colonists of stealing and eating a neighbor’s lost cat.
The cat, the anonymous user wrote, was found "hanging from a branch, like you’d do a deer for butchering" and the migrants colonists were "carving it up to eat." The user added: "I’ve been told they are doing this to dogs, they have been doing it at snyder park with the ducks & geese, as I was told that last bit by Rangers & police. Please keep a close eye on these animals."
The post has since received more than three million views and counting. It even caught the eyes of Tesla’s chief executive, Elon Musk, who commented: "Apparently, people’s pet cats are being eaten."
The post echoes claims made during a city commission meeting last month, in which an angered local accused Haitian migrants colonists of "grabbing up ducks by their neck, and cutting their head off and walking off with them. They’re eating them," he added.
In the past four years, Springfield, Ohio — which, in 2020, boasted around 58,000 residents — has taken in nearly 20,000 Haitian migrants colonists seeking to fill job vacancies. The town’s Haitian migrants colonists are credited by local businesses with helping to reignite Springfield’s lagging economy post pandemic, filling much-needed positions in warehouses, manufacturing, and the service industry.
However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat... the population inflow has also prompted the town to face "a significant housing crisis," Springfield’s city manager, Bryan Heck, wrote this summer in a letter to Senators Scott and Brown requesting federal financial aid.
With tensions already brewing between locals and migrants colonists over strained resources, the conflict came to a head last year when a Haitian driver was involved in a deadly car accident. The driver, who was carrying a foreign license, swerved into oncoming traffic and hit a school bus, killing an 11-year-old and injuring 23 other children.
The accident was "the match on the tinder bundle," said the Clark County health commissioner, Chris Cook.
On the other hand, NoMoreBS gives us Zero Hedge’s report, which brings receipts, as I believe the kids say nowadays. Interesting times, most assuredly.

In the book "They Were Expendable" by William L. White the PT boat crewmen tried eating a cat because they were very tired of eating canned salmon which was almost all they had. They described it as horrible and would rather eat the canned salmon.

The situation in Springfield was covered in Rantburg a couple/three months ago, including how stats such as crime and income mysteriously quit being reported around 2021.
The town’s Haitian migrants colonists are credited by local businesses with helping to reignite Springfield’s lagging economy post pandemic, filling much-needed positions in warehouses, manufacturing, and the service industry.
If this were true, the stats would still be reported, highlighted, and prime timed on national TV.
Immigrants killing geese at Central Park is a thing, so these NYC papers have no cred.

Always welcome, my dear. Fred very kindly invented the Related keyword search because I am forever looking things up in the archives that I otherwise only remember the barest outline of.
Seen on Instapundit, I thought this also illuminates Springfield, Ohio’s pain — longer term and harshly:
Until last year, except for a four year period in the 1990s, from 1990-2023, the mayor of Springfield, OH was the late Warren Copeland. Copeland since the late 1970s was an associate professor at nearby Wittenberg University, a private liberal arts college. He specialized in…
The rest of the tweet: … He specialized in religion, with a focus on Social Ethics. He wrote a book on Springfield titled "Updating the Dream" in 1997. He wrote a book about his view of governance titled, "Doing Justice in Our Cities: Lessons in Public Policy from America’s Heartland" where you can get a summary of here. https://amzn.to/3XA7VrM
The present mayor is just having to deal with what Springfield voted for during most of the previous three decades.
Those 20,000 Haitians did not show up overnight or uninvited. Though flown in by the federal government, they were not forced on the city by the federal government.
Elections have consequences. Springfield voted for this. They signaled their virtue, their signal was seen, and virtue arrived.
This is what they wanted. This is what they got. They'll have to deal with the consequences.
[AFRICANEWS] More than 16 months of war in Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... has killed more than 20,000 people, a senior United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... official said Sunday, a grim figure amid a devastating conflict that has wrecked the northeastern African country.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization, gave the tally at a news conference in Sudan's Red Sea city of Port Sudan, which serves as the seat of the internationally recognized, military-backed government. He said the corpse count could be much higher.
''Sudan is suffering through a perfect storm of crisis,'' Tedros said as he wrapped up his two-day visit to Sudan. ''The scale of the emergency is shocking, as is the insufficient action being taken to curtail the conflict.''
Sudan was plunged into chaos in April last year when simmering tensions between the military and a powerful paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, went kaboom! into open warfare across the country.
The conflict has turned the capital, Khartoum, and other urban areas into battlefields, wrecking civilian infrastructure and an already battered health care system. Without the basics, many hospitals and medical facilities have closed their doors.
The conflict has created the world's largest displacement crisis. More than 13 million people have been forced to flee their homes since fighting began, according to the International Organization for Migration. They include over 2.3 million who have fled to neighboring countries as refugees.
The fighting has been marked by atrocities including mass rape and ethnically motivated killings that amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to the U.N. and international rights groups.
On Friday, U.N.-backed human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... Sherlocks urged the creation of an ''independent and impartial force'' to protect civilians, blaming both sides for war crimes including murder, mutilation and torture.
Devastating seasonal floods in recent weeks have compounded the misery. Dozens of people have been killed and critical infrastructure has been washed away in 12 of Sudan's 18 provinces, according to local authorities.
A cholera outbreak is the latest calamity for the country. The disease has killed at least 165 and sickened about 4,200 others in recent weeks, the health ministry said in its latest update on Friday.
''We are calling on the world to wake up and help Sudan out of the nightmare it's living through,'' Tedros said, adding that an immediate cease-fire is urgently required.
''The best medicine is peace,'' he added.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Algerian authorities declared President Abdulmadjid Tebboune
…FLN Party stalwart who has held many government positions over the years. He currently hold the Minister of Defence portfolio as well as the presidency…
the clear winner of Saturday’s election giving him a second five-year term in office.
Supported by the military, Tebboune faced only nominal opposition from Hassani Cherif, a moderate conservative, and Aouchiche, a moderate secularist, both backed by Algeria’s powerful establishment.
Hassani Cherif’s campaign claimed that polling officials were pressured to inflate results and that there were failures to provide vote-sorting records to candidates’ representatives, along with instances of proxy group voting.
"This is a farce," said Hassani Cherif’s spokesperson, Ahmed Sadok, asserting that the candidate had won significantly more votes than announced, citing the campaign’s own tallies from various regions. The claim could not be verified.
However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... electoral commission head Mohammed Charfi stated during the results announcement that the commission had ensured transparency and fair competition amongst all candidates.
Tebboune’s re-election signals that Algeria will likely continue its current governing program, which has resumed generous social spending fuelled by increased energy revenues after he took office in 2019 during a period of lower oil prices.
He has pledged to raise unemployment benefits, pensions, and public housing programs, all of which he expanded during his first term.
Buying off the voters. He sponsored a Constitutional rewrite that included a two-term limit on the president. Will he stick to it at the end of this term, or suddenly discover that he needs more time to put things in order before letting someone else take the reins?

[LIBYAREVIEW] According to Africa Intelligence, the leadership crisis within Libya’s High Council of State (HCS) is derailing efforts by Acting UN Envoy Stephanie Khoury to resolve the ongoing conflict surrounding the governorship of the Central Bank of Libya (CBL).
Khoury has been working to secure an agreement on the governorship, a role essential for stabilizing Libya’s economy and managing its vital oil revenues. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... her progress has been significantly hampered by political deadlock within the HCS.
The root of the problem lies in the disputed election held on August 6, 2023, which has left the council without a recognized leader. Khoury requires the approval of the HCS president to move forward with the negotiations, but the lack of consensus on the council’s leadership has left her efforts in limbo. This delay is not merely a bureaucratic hurdle; it threatens to deepen Libya’s financial instability and prolong its political divisions.
The CBL, as the primary institution responsible for managing the country’s oil revenues and overseeing national monetary policy, is a crucial player in Libya’s economic landscape. The governorship of the bank has been a contentious issue, especially given the power struggle between Libya’s rival governments in the east and west. The position has become highly politicized, and the inability to appoint a new governor is exacerbating an already fragile situation.
Libya’s economic future remains uncertain as long as this deadlock persists. The absence of a unified central bank leadership undermines financial stability, which is essential for the country’s recovery. Without swift resolution, the ongoing political paralysis could further entrench regional divides and complicate international mediation efforts aimed at ending the conflict.

[NEWARAB] The UK has ordered Afghanistan's embassy in London to be closed by September 27, the Afghan ambassador has confirmed.
In a post on social media platform X, Zalmai Rassoul ... former foreign minister and a very close confidant of Hamid Karzai. Before serving as foreign minister Rassoul also spent seven years laboring as a national security adviser to the president. An ethnic Pashtun born in Kabul, Rassoul was the valedictorian of his class at the illustrious Franco-American school in Kabul, Lycee Istiqal. He has an MD from the Paris Medical School in France..... announced that the decision was made by British authorities, amid ongoing disputes over the control of Afghan embassies in Western countries.
Currently, dozens of embassies continue to operate, run by diplomats affiliated with the former US-backed Afghan government of deposed President Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, then former president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money... .
"We thank and appreciate all colleagues, citizens, and related institutions who have sincerely cooperated with the Afghan Embassy in London during this period," Rassoul said in a statement.
In July, Afghanistan's unrecognised Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... government sent letters to 13 nations, including European countries, Canada, and Australia, asserting that consular services provided by embassies managed by diplomats from the former Afghan government were invalid without Taliban involvement.
In response, countries such as the United States and now the UK have shut down Afghan diplomatic missions.
According to Afghan independent news network Amu TV, Germany had urged the Afghan embassy in Berlin to engage with the Taliban, becoming the only country to formally respond to the Taliban's letters.
On Saturday, a protest outside Germany's Foreign Ministry saw Afghan citizens opposing any diplomatic engagement with the Taliban, drawing attention to the movement's human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... record.

[GEOTV] Germany's government announced plans to impose tighter controls at all of the country's land borders in what it called an attempt to tackle irregular migration and protect the public from threats such as extremism.
The controls within what is normally a wide area of free movement - the European Schengen zone - will start on September 16 and initially last for six months, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Monday.
“After half a year the election will be over and the voters will have other concerns,” she added. “Then we can drop it like a hot potato without anyone noticing.”
The government has also designed a scheme enabling authorities to reject more migrants colonists directly at German borders, Faeser said, without adding details on the controversial and legally fraught move.
The restrictions are part of a series of measures Germany has taken to toughen its stance on irregular migration in recent years following a surge in arrivals, in particular people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government is seeking to seize back the initiative from the opposition far-right and conservatives, who have seen support rise as they tap into voter worries about stretched public services, integration and security.
"We are strengthening internal security and continuing our hard line against irregular migration," Faeser said, noting the government had notified the European Commission and neighbouring countries of the intended controls.
Recent deadly knife attacks in which the suspects were asylum seekers have stoked concerns over immigration. The ISIS group grabbed credit for a knife attack in the western city of Solingen that killed three people in August.
The AfD earlier this month became the first far-right party since World War Two to win a state election, in Thuringia, after campaigning heavily on the issue of migration.
Polls show it is also voters' top concern in the state of Brandenburg, which is set to hold elections in two weeks.
Scholz and Faeser's centre-left Social Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... (SPD) are fighting to retain control of the government there, in a vote billed as a test of the strength of the SPD ahead of next year's federal election.
"The intention of the government seems to be to show symbolically to Germans and potential migrants colonists that the latter are no longer wanted here," said Marcus Engler at the German Centre for Integration and Migration Research.
A backlash had been building in Germany ever since it took in more than a million people mostly fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria during the 2015/2016 migrant crisis, migration experts say.
It reached a tipping point in the country of 84 million people after it automatically granted asylum to around a million Ukrainians fleeing Russia's 2022 invasion even as Germany was struggling through an energy and economic crisis.
Since then, the German government has agreed to tighter deportation rules and resumed flying convicted criminals of Afghan nationality to their home country, despite suspending deportations after the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... took power in 2021 due to human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... concerns.
[NYPOST] Greta "Pippi" Thunberg ...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change, though I guess she's older now... 's not just a climate fanatic: She's also a proud antisemite!
(No wonder she's scored so many Nobel Prize nominations.)
The Norwegian wunderkind of the leftist blob got arrested at Copenhagen University last week as she and a crew of other pro-Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... thugs were protesting the school's connections to Israel.
It should be noted that Ms Thunberg is not a student at this or any other university. She is a professional Black Bloc protester, reportedly worth something over $2 million from her labours.
Those connections? Efforts like the Erasmus student exchange program that let Israeli students study at CU.
She also supports an overall academic boycott, banning any collaboration or cooperation between universities outside Israel and those within it.
In other words, Thunberg doesn't want an end to Israel's fight for its life against the would-be genocidaires of Hamas, nor is she interested in helping Paleostinians achieve a peaceful autonomy or freeing them from their tyrannical terror masters.

[IsraelNationalNews] Nine months after submitting a suit in the International Court of Justice in the Hague, South Africa is working to extend its deadline to present evidence, Kan Reshet Bet revealed on Tuesday.
South Africa's tactic is an attempt to "buy time" understanding that it does not have enough evidence to prove its allegations that Israel is committing genocide.
South Africa is required to submit its evidence next month, on October 28th, 2024, but is trying to extend the deadline by several months, with the hope that in the meantime evidence would come from other places.
According to the report, South Africa's conduct is seen as especially surprising because the plaintiff usually wants to speed up proceedings while the defendant is the one who usually attempts to buy time. Israel has refused to comment. Bandarlogs
[IsraelTimes] Hamas said to demand life-term murderers in return for civilians, not just for soldiers
Citing a White House official, the Washington Post reported Sunday that Hamas introduced its own "poison pill" into the talks in the past week, demanding the release of Paleostinian murderous Moslems serving life sentences in Israel in return for hostages who are civilians, not just IDF soldiers.
The Washington Post on Sunday cited a White House official as saying that Hamas has made the truce-hostage negotiations all the more difficult by demanding that murderous Moslems serving life sentences be released for civilian hostages in the deal’s first stage, a six-week ceasefire.
Until now, the formula was that hardened murderous Moslems would only be released for kidnapped IDF soldiers, including 150 life-term murderers to be released from Israeli jails during the first phase in return for the five female surveillance soldiers held hostage.
Citing "officials involved in the details" of the talks, Kan News reported Sunday that Washington is holding up presenting its new formula for a deal because of the new Hamas demand — which was made Friday, according to Kan.
The public broadcaster cited a Paleostinian source as saying Hamas’s demand was not new. However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... an unsourced Channel 12 report said Thursday that Hamas was demanding an increase in the number of life-term murderers to be released in return for the five female soldiers.
It is believed that 97 hostages kidnapped during Hamas’s October 7 onslaught remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 33 confirmed dead by the IDF.

No surprise here.
HAMAS will keep stalling and adding conditions, to drag it out in the Media.
Plus, it will need time to locate the hostages actually being held by its collection of constantly moving terrorist cells.
Then there is the real serious issue, as sad as it is to say. That likely the number of living Hostages is lower than what Hamas is claiming, for its constantly delaying and increasing demands.
[IsraelTimes] Thousands of alleged terrorists await trial due to difficulties with evidence, lack of representation, overloaded justice system, and fears for hostages’ lives.
Eleven months after Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... ’s October 7 attack on Israel, a series of legal difficulties are still preventing Israel’s justice system from beginning to prosecute the thousands of terrorism suspects captured in Israel that day or during the resulting war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Citing unnamed sources in the State Attorney’s Office, Haaretz reported last week that the challenges preventing Israel from prosecuting snuffies include inadequate evidence in some suspects’ cases, the extra load on an already struggling justice system, lack of representation for those on trial, and concern that beginning legal proceedings could harm hostages still held in Gaza or the chances of a deal to free them.
According to the report, the investigations into thousands of terrorism suspects arrested on or after October 7 have either been completed or are close to completion, but it is unclear when they will be put on trial.
During Hamas’s October 7 attack, more than 3,000 snuffies murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in towns and bases in Israel’s south, committing widespread atrocities and sexual assault, and took 251 hostages.
Israeli forces killed some 1,000 of the invaders and hundreds more fled back to Gaza. Some 200 were captured alive and several thousand more have been detained in Gaza during the 11 months since, although the IDF has not given detailed numbers and many have been released following questioning.
In some cases, even though the investigation has been completed, prosecutors have little or no evidence that certain suspects took part in the specific murders with which they would be charged, making a conviction unlikely.
One potential solution that has been suggested, Haaretz reported, is to group suspects by the towns they operated in during the attack and put the groups on trial rather than individual suspects. But the International Court of Justice and other forums could declare such trials void because they would not comply with international legal practice.
Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach... a possible solution to the pressure hundreds of trials would place on the justice system would be to hold the trials in military courts instead, the report added.
However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... that would still leave the question of who would represent the suspects in their trials, as Israel’s public defenders have refused to represent them. The report did not present any possible solutions. But when faced with a similar issue for the Nazi Holocaust criminal mastermind Adolf Eichmann’s trial in 1961, Israel enlisted foreign lawyers.
The final challenge listed in the report was fear for hostages still held in Gaza as mediators continue to try to reach a deal between Israel and Hamas that would see hostages released in exchange for Israel releasing Paleostinian security prisoners and a ceasefire.
At present, the suspects arrested since October 7 are being held mainly in two Israeli prisons, Ofer and Ktziot, and have been split into two groups. The first are people suspected of taking part in or helping plan the October 7 attack and designated to undergo proceedings as criminals, while the second comprises suspects who are being held under administrative detention as illegal fighters.
The suspects have been separated in order to protect the criminal suspects’ rights, Haaretz reported, and thus to avoid accusations of mistrials that would ultimately allow them to go free. However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... suspects have been moved between the two groups as recently as in the last few weeks, as new evidence comes to light.
Since the US announced criminal charges against Hamas leaders including Yahya Sinwar last week, soon after six hostages were murdered by their Hamas captors, the State Attorney’s Office has come under criticism by police and citizens for not doing the same or beginning to prosecute October 7 suspects.
However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... the former head of the office’s international department, Yuval Kaplinksy, explained to Haaretz that Israel’s legal system does not enable the state to indict Sinwar in the same way as the American system permits.
"Unlike the US, Israel doesn’t indict people who are not under arrest or available for proceedings," he said.
"The US sees a duty to the Americans harmed by October 7 in filing an indictment," he added, "but I don’t think there’s a single prosecutor in the US who believes that Sinwar will really be caught and put on trial in the US."

Criminals should get a swift trial, but prisoners of war stay until the end of the war— unless the diplomats work out a trade. And anyway, there’s been a steady flow of prisoners being returned to Gaza if they aren’t in the wanted group. The ones there eleven months were deemed guilty of whatever they were captured for — wheat, not straw.

[IsraelTimes] Six abductees reportedly had trouble breathing while held by Hamas in unventilated, narrow, dark tunnel where they couldn’t stand upright, had no toilet and got very little food
Several of the six Israeli hostages who were executed by their Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... captors in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... some 10 days ago had attempted to fight off their killers, their families have reportedly been told by the Israel Defense Forces.
IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari has briefed some of the families of the six — Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Ori Danino, Eden Yerushalmi, Almog Sarusi, Alexander Lobanov and Carmel Gat — on the difficult conditions in which they had been held and on their courage in their final moments, according to Channel 12 and Channel 13.
Hagari, who reportedly met with the families over the past day or so, shared what Channel 12 news described as the initial findings of the army’s investigation into the incident, detailing the harsh conditions in which the six were held, and showing the families evidence from inside the tunnel where they were killed.
The IDF believes they were murdered a day or so before the IDF got to the tunnel on August 31, the report said.
"Several of the six are assessed to have defended themselves and struggled with those who shot them," it added.
Channel 13 cited "forensic" findings that show "Hersh, Ori, Alex and Almog defended Eden and Carmel."
The six were held in a small and very narrow tunnel, barely the width of two people and too low for them to stand fully upright, the Channel 12 report said.
There were no air vents, and the hostages had difficulty breathing, the families were reportedly told.
There were no toilets or showers in the tunnel. The hostages washed with water from the bottles they drank from.
Protein bars were found in the tunnel but the hostages had very little food and lost weight to the point where Yerushalmi had weighed just 36 kilograms (80 pounds) before she was murdered.
There was a generator and a small torch that didn’t always work, a chess set, writing implements and notepads. The IDF has given the notepads to the respective families, the Channel 12 report said.
Members of one family, who were not named, told Channel 12 that the hostages "did everything to survive in impossible circumstances... and in the end Hamas murdered them... Their only demand was that the government save them, and the government failed in its mission."
The bodies of the six were recovered by the IDF overnight August 31-September 1. An initial autopsy on September 1 found they had been shot multiple times at close range two to three days earlier.
Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the hostages’ Hamas murderers had shot them dead "in cold blood. They riddled them with bullets... They shot them in the back of the head."

[IsraelTimes] Allenby Bridge Crossing remains closed to trucks; Israeli security forces meet Jordanian counterparts to discuss investigation into murder of three Israelis, upgrading security
The Allenby Bridge Crossing between Israel and Jordan reopened to pedestrians on Monday morning but remained closed to trucks after Amman released a meager condemnation of a Sunday terror attack by a Jordanian truck driver at the crossing in which he murdered three Israelis. The killings were celebrated on the streets of the Jordanian capital.
The murderer was identified by Israeli authorities as Maher Dhiab Hussein al-Jazi, 39, a Jordanian national from the southern Jordan town of Udhruh, east of Petra
The reopening of the crossing came after representatives from the Shin Bet and IDF met with their Jordanian counterparts at Allenby on Sunday evening to coordinate continued operations after the attack, according to the Kan broadcaster.
The crossing, also known as the King Hussein Bridge, is the West Bank’s sole crossing with Jordan.
According to the report, the two sides discussed how to improve security conditions at the border crossing and shared information that could help with the investigation into the attack, as cooperation between the two nations continues.
However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... it took some 14 hours for Jordan’s Foreign Ministry to issue a statement containing a brief condemnation of the terror shooting attack.
The ministry stressed "Jordan’s firm position rejecting and condemning violence and targeting civilians for any reason."
The rest of the statement reiterated common talking points in support of the two-state solution and against Israel’s actions in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... and the West Bank, with the condemnation of the attack immediately followed by a call for "addressing all causes and escalatory steps that generate" violence against civilians.
The ministry added that its probes have so far concluded that the attack was carried out by a lone assailant. Terror groups Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... both welcomed the attack, but did not take responsibility.
While the ministry issued its tepid statement, thousands of Jordanians celebrated on the streets of Amman, claiming the gunman had avenged the deaths of thousands of Paleostinians in the war in Gaza.
Videos posted to social media showed fireworks being set off during the demonstration. People waved Jordanian flags, and there were reports of Israeli flags being burned at the event.
Three Israelis, Yohanan Shchori, 61, Yuri Birnbaum, 65, and Adrian Marcelo Podzamczer, were murdered at the crossing on Sunday by Maher Dhiab Hussein al-Jazi, 39, a Jordanian national from the southern Jordan town of Udhruh, east of Petra.
According to the military and Israel Airports Authority officials — the latter of which manages the land crossing — al-Jazi got out of the truck he was driving during an inspection at the terminal and shot up several of the crossing’s workers, killing three.
Israeli security guards returned fire at the terrorist, killing him.
Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty in 1994 and have close security ties. Dozens of trucks cross daily from Jordan, with goods from Jordan and the Gulf that supply both the West Bank and Israeli markets.
[IsraelTimes] Jordanian intelligence some six weeks ago thwarted a plan to place explosives on a truck and detonate it at the Allenby Bridge border crossing, Channel 12 reports.
The report, which cites non-Israeli sources, comes a day after a Jordanian truck driver rubbed out three Israelis in a terrorist attack at the Allenby crossing.
Jordanian intelligence officials arrested four members of a cell in Salt, west of Amman a month and a half ago, the report says, and they led the officials to a weapons lab in which several bombs were found. Jordanian intelligence suspects the members of the cell intended to plant the devices on a truck and detonate it at the Allenby Bridge crossing.
The alleged Death Eaters were all Jordanian nationals, and the cell was formed locally, rather than being recruited by Iran, Hezbollah or other external forces.
Jordan did not publicize the incident in order to avoid triggering public protests, given anti-Israeli sentiment in the kingdom and anger that Jordan cooperates with Israel on security matters.
Channel 12 notes that Israeli sappers were seen checking the truck driven by the button men yesterday for more than an hour after the deadly attack to make sure it was not rigged with explosives.
The TV report notes that Jordan has also busted at least three cells in the past two months, recruited by Hezbollah via the internet, that were intended to carry out actions designed to destabilize the kingdom.
It notes that in June, Jordanian security forces announced they had uncovered and detonated explosives hidden in a commercial warehouse in an industrial area southeast of the capital Amman that they said was part of an Iran-linked plot to destabilize Jordan. That incident, Channel 12 says, involved "immense" quantities of explosives smuggled into Jordan by Iran.
It says Hezbollah has also been recruiting, via the internet, Paleostinian cells in the northern West Bank — including Nablus, Jenin, and Tulkarm — also intended to act against Jordan.
[X] Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vows that Israel will kill the Sinwar brothers, Yahya and Muhammad, during a visit to the Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip today.
"We will reach Muhammad Sinwar and also Yahya Sinwar. Anyone who thinks otherwise should look at Marwan Issa [and] Muhammad Deif, they also thought they were immune, they are not with us today, they made their mistake. [Sinwar] will also make his mistake, [and] we will carry out our mission," Gallant says.
Yahya Sinwar is the leader of Hamas in Gaza, and was recently appointed as the head of the terror group following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. Muhammad is a senior commander in Hamas's military wing.
Is Yahya still running around disguised in women’s clothing?
I think he just likes the kink

Go get em,...and when you're done, deposit them in the Med outside of territorial waters, like what the U.S. did with Bin-Laden.
[NEWARAB] A fully-fledged war between Israel and Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... will erupt in a "matter of days", a member of the Israeli parliament (MK) has claimed, threatening that Beirut's southern suburbs "will look like Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... " if conflict breaks out.
"There is no other way," MK Nissim Vaturi of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing Likud party told Israel's Kan broadcaster.
"This is something that will develop in the coming days."
Vaturi claimed that Netanyahu briefed military officials on Sunday and told them "we must end this saga."
The MK, who is a member of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, said Israel should carry out a "major" pre-emptive strike on Lebanon that would last for days, followed by a ground invasion of the country's south.
Vaturi has made a number of incendiary comments about Lebanese and Paleostinians throughout Israel's indiscriminate war on Gaza. He has previously said that Gaza should be "erased" and called Israelis protesting for a deal to free hostages a "branch of Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... The area south of Beirut which Vaturi referred to, known as the "Dahieh" - or suburb in Arabic - has been hit twice since hostilities between Lebanon's Shia Hezbollah group and Israel began in October.
[IsraelTimes] A full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon could have “catastrophic and unforeseen consequences,” a senior US official tells the Middle East America Dialogue (MEAD) summit in Washington, DC.
"There is no war in lab conditions. It’s not a game. I don’t doubt the capabilities of the IDF, but we have to think about the fact that there will be serious consequences for both sides," the unnamed US official is quoted by Israeli journalist Barak Ravid as saying, in addition to other reports in Hebrew.
The comments at the closed-door summit come amid near-daily attacks from Hezbollah-led forces on Israeli communities and military posts along the border since October 8, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza and its allied Palestinian terror group Hamas amid the ongoing war there since October 7.
Speaking yesterday at the same conference, former war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said Israel should shift its focus toward Hezbollah and the Lebanese border, warning that “we are late on this,” while also warning that a war with the Iran-backed terror group is imminent if Israel does not soon strike a hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas in Gaza.
While Gantz and other Israeli officials say that a major operation in Lebanon is the only way to return tens of thousands of Israelis to their homes on the northern border, the US official warns that many civilians could be killed in the fighting and wouldn’t have homes to return to, according to Ravid.
“There is an idea of let’s go to war and then we will destroy all the missiles Hezbollah has and everything will be fine. It’s not that simple. There is no magic solution. The other side cannot be annihilated. At the end of the war, Israel may pay a heavy price and not achieve its goals,” the official is quoted as saying, while recommending a diplomatic rather than military solution to calm the border tensions.
The official argues that if a war breaks out, the international community will intervene to reach a diplomatic solution that is similar to what can be clinched now.
Since Hamas’s October 7 massacre, Israel has warned it can no longer tolerate Hezbollah’s presence along its border following the atrocities perpetrated by the Palestinian terror group and has warned that should a diplomatic solution not be reached, it will turn to military action to push Hezbollah northward.
[IsraelTimes] Muslim Brotherhood political arm demands abrogation of pro-Western kingdom’s ties with Israel, overhaul of electoral system that disadvantages urban Islamists
Jordan’s main opposition, buoyed by anger over the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... war, says it expects its Islamists to win enough seats in Tuesday’s election to loudly challenge the country’s pro-Western stance, a result that could stir up the kingdom’s staid political scene.
The opposition Islamic Action Front ...Jordan's branch of the Moslem Brüderbund... (IAF), the Jordanian political arm of the Moslem Brüderbund, says its voice is needed in the assembly to help reverse unpopular economic policies, stand up to laws curbing public freedoms and oppose further normalization with Israel, with which Jordan signed a peace treaty in 1994.
"It’s enough that there is a significant bloc that is able to influence public opinion and the general political scene," Murad Adailah, the head of Jordan’s Moslem Brüderbund, which is an ideological ally of Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... , told Rooters.
In a country where anti-Israel sentiment runs high, the Gaza war is expected to help the electoral fortunes of the IAF, which is Jordan’s largest opposition party and has led some of the region’s biggest pro-Hamas rallies.
Hundreds erupted into the streets of Amman to celebrate on Sunday, hours after a gunman from Jordan rubbed out three Israeli civilians at the Allenby Bridge border crossing with the West Bank.
The IAF, fielding only 38 candidates for the 138-seat assembly, is unlikely to unseat the tribal, centrist and pro-government deputies who dominate a system that underrepresents cities, where their Islamist and liberal opponents do best.
But the Islamists, who have angered the authorities with demands to abrogate the peace treaty and end commercial ties with Israel, are urging supporters to go out and vote to show their opposition to Israel’s offensive in Gaza.
"Today what is happening in Gaza is an existentialist [sic] battle and neither the Jordanian or Islamic movement can be bystanders. The voice of the Jordanian street was heard and influential," Adailah said in an interview on Monday.
He said the Jordanian state needed a strong parliament more than ever, arguing that a vocal IAF parliamentary presence could strengthen Jordan’s ability to navigate, and if necessary stand up to, any pressures it might face from Israel and Western allies.
Adailah was echoing sentiments by many Jordanians across the political spectrum, who fear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government seeks a wider war in which Paleostinians in the Israel-controlled West Bank could be pushed out to Jordan.
”Because even we, their Jordanian brothers, think Palestinians are icky and dangerous. We have not yet forgotten when they tried to overthrow King Hussein in Black September (1970-71).”
Israel on Saturday completed a 10-day counterterrorism operation in the northern West Bank, as fighting in Gaza drags on. The war in Gaza was sparked when thousands of Hamas-led faceless myrmidons stormed southern Israel on October 7 to kill nearly 1,200 people and take 251 hostages.
VOTING SYSTEM FAVORS TRIBAL AREAS
The Islamic Action Front is contesting the polls despite its reservations over a voting system the party feels is biased against it. Party leaders are demanding even broader political representation following changes introduced under an electoral law passed in 2022.
"The law is not up to our ambitions but it presents a recipe for gradual political reforms," Adailah said, referring to the law that for the first time directly allocates 41 seats for over 30 licensed and mostly pro-government parties.
Officials say the vote is a milestone in a democratization process launched by King Abdullah, paving the way for political parties to play a bigger role.
The results — due within 48 hours of polls closing — are expected to keep parliament in the hands of tribal and pro-government factions, which are powerless to make deep changes.
Nevertheless, the elections could see the Islamists shaking up Jordan’s bland political scene, analysts said.
"We expect a significant bloc from these elections provided we are left without a direct and blatant interference in the ballot box," Adailah said, without being drawn into exactly how many seats they expect to capture.
The party, whose slogan is "With Islam we protect the nation," says the authorities have used clan pressure to persuade tens of IAF candidates to drop out of the race.
"This hurts our chances," Adailah said.
Now, the vote will test the Islamists’ grassroots support, politicians and analysts say. Most other candidates with limited political agendas have focused their campaigns on economic conditions such as unemployment, public services and inflation.
[NYSun] With Jordanians voting for a new parliament Tuesday, the Hashemite kingdom’s delicate ties with America and Israel are expected to become even more fraught.
King Abdullah II is walking a tightrope: While he needs to appease angry constituents who are seething over the worsening economy and the Gazoo war, he also must maintain vital relations with Israel. With Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... seeking to add Jordan to its "ring of fire" strategy targeting Israel, the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s interference in local Jordanian politics is further undermining the king’s grip on power.
[NAHARNET] Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant commented the situation on the Lebanese border Sunday during a tour of the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, telling troops "we are preparing for anything that may happen in the north."
"The shift of the center of gravity can happen quickly and can also involve you in a short period of time," Gallant said, according to a statement issued by his office.
