In progress

January 23, 2023: Israeli occupiers in Jerusalem send tax bills to Armenian Patriachate with notice that instructed to begin foreclosure due to non-payment of ‘Arnona Tax’–that’s a municipal tax designed to force Palestinians out of Jerusalem. The various Christian Churches have never paid taxes for centuries. Under the Arnona all non-prayer properties are to be taxed; monasteries, clergy residences, guest houses for pilgrims, hospitals, schools, community services…
April,2023: Netanyahu who could spend the rest of his life in prison for corruption, is trying to neuter the Judiciary branch of government, including the Supreme Court, which would make him effectively a dictator. Hundreds of thousands turning out for massive protests in Tel Aviv. These protests will disrupt Israel, and directly threaten Netanyahu, until Hamas, with great timing as far as Netanyahu is concerned, raids Israel in October. At that point protests cease.
October 7, 2023 Hamas breaks out of Gaza in a stunning military operation the likes of which has not been seen since that December 18, 1941 raid when six Italian frog men rode torpedos into Alexandria Harbor and sank two British battle ships and an oil tanker.
Turns out, Israel allowed the Hamas raid to happen [evidence below] to give it causus belli to begin what it hopes will be the final genocide in Gaza. Instead Israel has sealed its own fate by exposing itself for the weak, incompetent, genocidal apartheid state it is.
In the US the airwaves were jammed with World War I level Israeli propaganda: 40 beheaded babies, roasting babies in ovens, mass rapes. US legacy media will run that nonsense 27/7 for years.
* Within a week, the Israeli narrative of Hamas beheading babies and raping Jewish women falls apart in Israel. The eyewitness accounts to Hamas atrocities are proven false. Main stream American media keeps pumping the Zionist narrative as Israel cuts off water to Gaza including 55,000 pregnant women, cuts off food, cuts off medicine, cuts off electricity, cuts off medical supplies, destroys sewage treatment plants, and begins an extermination of the civilian population of Gaza.
*Over the following weeks and months it came out in Israel–but not in America–that the Israeli government and military set the whole thing up. Specifically,:
1) Netanyahu’s Israel had been funding Hamas for years to act as a foil to the corrupt Palestinian Authority to prevent united Palestinians from forming a state.
2) Israel had been warned by America, by Egypt (twice), and by it’s own observers that Hamas was about to make a major military attack. They ignored the warnings.
3) Days before October 7th, 2023 Israel sent two companies of soldiers who were supposed to guard the border away to the West Bank, supposedly to protect Jewish fanatics there who wanted to hold religious services on Palestinian holy sites.
4) Gaza border is the most scrutinized border in the world with cameras, drones, observers, and Israelis troops walking it every day. We’re supposed to believe all of it failed at once on October 7.
5) In 2025, an Israeli soldier came forward and said his unit patrolled the border fence every morning at 5 a.m. Inexplicably, they were told on October 7, 2023 to sleep in until 9 a.m. long after Hamas’ attack.
6) Southern command leader visited the border hours before Hamas attacks and did nothing to bolster defenses.
7) Israel’s smaller than Vermont and yet it took them hours to mobilize a military response.
8)When they did mobilize a response where they invoked what they call the ‘Hannibal Directive’ That’s where they kill their own Jews rather than let them be captured. According to Israeli military personnel, multiple Israeli helicopter, with communications towers disrupted by Hamas, fired blindly into crowds and at every vehicle heading towards Gaza–even knowing Jewish hostages were in them. These helicopters fired off all their ammunition, reloaded, then went back and fired more. Israeli tanks blew up houses with hostages in them. An Israeli Colonel called Israel’s actions on October 7 a ‘mass Hannibal’. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant admitted on Israeli television the following year that Israel did, in fact, invoke the Hannibal Directive.

Days following October 7, 2023: Israeli military weakness/incompetence on display to the world: *For a few brief moments following October 7th the world is treated to videos of stalwart flying go-cart Hamas commandos sending the mighty Israeli army running for their lives, leaving civilians to their fates. That footage disappeared overnight from the news feeds. Didn’t look good.
October 8, 2023: Another coincidence: Somehow the USS Gerald R Ford, which was supposed to head for Arctic maneuvers, had been reassigned to the Mediterranean Sea days before October 7 and thus happened to be available for instant dispatch to protect Israel on October 8, 2023, one day after Israel shows it can’t defend itself. [Update: in February 2026 crew of the USS Gerald R Ford, which was scheduled for a long break after being deployed two months longer than original orders, (they’ve been out since June, 2025) to threaten Iran on behalf of Israel.]
++October 19, 2023: As part of carpet bombing civilians campaign, Israel bombs Cristian Church of St. Porphyrius, where 500 Palestinians, mostly Christians, were sheltering from the bombing. The Israeli terrorists killed 18 people, wounded over 20. Church of St. Porphyrius, is one of the oldest Christian churches, built in 1150 AD, on the site of the original church that was built in 450 A.D.built in 1150 AD. The Church is less than 300 meters from Ahli Arab Hospital, which the Israelis also bombed, killing or wounding hundreds who had gone there for shelter.
November 8, 2023: In a month, Israel has dropped 25, 000 tons (25 kilotons) of TNT on Gaza. Nuclear bombs are rated in kilotons of TNT equivalents. The nuclear bombs US dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) and Nagasaki (Fat Man) were 15 kilotons and 21 kilotons respectively. Sources Euromed Human Rights Monitor. and updates from Paul Rogers Professor Emeritas, University of Bradford, who is a Global Research Consultant with the Oxford Research Group. Among damage assessments: tens of thousands of Palestinians–half of them children, are dead. Half of Gaza homes damaged/40,000 destroyed, 278 schools destroyed,270 medical facilities damaged or destroyed, 69 mosques and churches damaged or destroyed, 11 bakeries destroyed.
December 15, 2023: Israeli occupation troops in Gaza kill 3 of their own Jewish hostages who had either escaped or been let go by their captors. Israel keeps changing the story so that part is unclear. What is clear is the three were Israeli soldiers captured on October 7. IDF ordered them to come out of the building they were in. They had stripped down to their under pants so the IDF could see they were unarmed. They made a sign in Hebrew that they were Israelis. They shouted to the IDF in Hebrew that they were Israelis. IDF shot and killed two of them. Chased the third into the building and killed him, too. This showed the world that innocent Palestinians have no chance at all to surrender.
December 28, 2023 With great fanfare NY Times publishes major Zionist propaganda piece “Screams Without Words: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence On October 7″. Written by Jewish writers Jeffrey Gettleman, Adam Sella, and Israeli Anat Schwartz. Widely swallowed whole in the US, especially with Zionists pushing it on social media. On alternative media, soon followed by social media, the piece runs into trouble at once with the Israeli family of the story’s lead victim saying–with proof–the woman wasn’t raped, and that they were duped by the NY T story authors, and NYT used her death to suit the narrative they were pushing.
December 29, 2023: South Africa files charges that Israel is committing Genocide in Gaza with the International Court of Justice. Citing violations of the 1948 Genocide Convention. Other countries will join the case on South Africa’s side shortly.
