🟢 Hamas Spokesman Hazem Qassem:
—
The spokesman for Hamas, Hazem Qassem, confirmed that the criminal zionist occupation is deliberately escalating its measures toward re-engineering the starvation process against our people in the Gaza Strip through broad restrictions on the entry of aid, including flour, which has led to a continuous rise in bread prices amid extreme poverty in Gaza.

Qassem stressed, on Sunday, that this restriction on aid is a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, which stipulated the entry of aid in specific quantities, only a third of which the "israeli" occupation has committed to.

He affirmed Hamas's complete rejection of the statements by Nickolay Mladenov, who claimed that aid is entering in the agreed-upon quantities, which are statements that contradict the reality on the ground.

The spokesman for the movement called on the mediators, the guarantor countries of the ceasefire agreement, and the parties that participated in the Sharm El-Sheikh conference and the Peace Council to announce a clear position regarding the zionist starvation engineering policy and to not allow this policy to continue.

❗️Palestinian children's rights group shuts down amid sustained Israeli pressure

Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCIP) announced it has ceased operations after 35 years of documenting violations against Palestinian children, citing Israel’s targeted criminalization and restrictions on human rights organizations. The Ramallah-based charity said the increasingly hostile environment made it impossible to continue its work protecting minors affected by military operations and detention practices.

Founded in 1991, DCIP has long been a critical source for international organizations, journalists, and legal advocates, reporting on cases of torture, abuse, and administrative detention of Palestinian children and minors. Rights defenders warn that its closure leaves a major gap in independent monitoring amid ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises.

The announcement comes as Israel escalates legal and political pressure on Palestinian NGOs, including last year’s order forcing 37 organizations to shut down for refusing to comply with new restrictions on staff disclosure, raising broader concerns about the future of independent human rights documentation.

🟢 Hamas:
—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), value the popular movement and solidarity events with Palestinian prisoners in the "israeli" occupation prisons, in support of the legitimate rights of the prisoners, and in rejection and condemnation of the daily crimes and violations against them, the latest of which is the approval of the criminal law on the execution of prisoners.

We call upon the masses of our people and our nation, and the institutions supporting prisoners in the world, to intensify and strengthen all forms of popular movement and solidarity events.

Let the Palestinian Prisoner Day on April 17 be a national and global day to raise voices in support of Palestinian prisoners, to expose the crimes of the fascist occupation government against them, and to exert pressure by all means to overturn the criminal execution law.

🚨 The Committee of Families of Political Detainees reports 84 violations committed by the PA security services in the West Bank throughout March 2026.

According to the report, these actions, carried out in coordination with the occupation, include:

• 16 arrests and 14 abductions
• 7 summonses
• 8 raids on homes and workplaces
• 6 arbitrary trials
• 4 cases of torture and "shabeh" in interrogation centers, affecting individuals from #Jenin and #Nablus
• 10 instances of suppression of freedoms

#Jenin recorded the highest number of violations with 32 incidents, followed by #Ramallah and #Nablus. The report highlights that PA intelligence was responsible for the majority of political arrests, which targeted former prisoners, students, lawyers, and educational staff.

 
Palestinian Prisoners’ Institutions and National and Islamic Forces
For 52 years, April 17 has stood as a defining moment in Palestinian national consciousness. Palestinian Prisoners’ Day is not merely commemorative—it is a unifying act of struggle rooted in a long history of resistance to violent settler-colonialism. It reaffirms our political prisoners as the vanguard of the fight for freedom and dignity.
On this day, memory becomes political action. The prisoners’ cause is not only recalled, but asserted as a universal struggle for justice and liberation. This year, it coincides with the 24th anniversary of the arrest of Marwan Barghouti, and the 38th anniversary of the martyrdom of Khalil al-Wazir—two enduring symbols of Palestinian resistance.
The new law enabling the execution of Palestinian political prisoners marks a dangerous escalation in the architecture of colonial violence. It does not create violence—it legalizes it. By cloaking execution in law, it formalizes murder as state policy and advances a system that codifies Palestinian killing. Explicitly discriminatory, the law targets Palestinians alone, embedding racialized violence within a fully institutionalized legal framework.
For decades, Israeli occupation prisons and military detention camps have functioned as sites of systematic abuse—torture, denial of medical care, isolation, and starvation deployed within an organized regime of criminality. This law deepens that regime, reinforcing a broader process of destruction that operates not only through direct killing, but through the deliberate erosion of the conditions necessary for life.
This is not a rupture, but a consolidation. Extrajudicial executions—through assassinations, field killings, and slow death in prison—have long defined the reality for Palestinians. What this law does is codify and expand those practices, granting them explicit legislative authority and sharpening their lethality.
Despite the ongoing failure and complicity of the international human rights system to halt crimes of genocide—across the occupied territories, and within prisons—the struggle continues. The voices of Palestinian prisoners—men, women, and children—will not be silenced. Their cause remains central to the broader fight for freedom and self-determination.
We call on our people and all those committed to justice worldwide to act—to mobilize, to organize, and to escalate pressure to overturn this law. Let Palestinian Prisoners’ Day be reclaimed as a day of action: to demand the liberation of political prisoners, to reject execution as policy and end the execution law, and to confront the system of destruction imposed upon them. Let it stand as a renewed national and global call: for freedom, for justice, and for an end to the machinery of murder.

🚨 The Palestinian Prisoners' Club:
—
Head of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, Abdullah Al-Zaghari, stated that the series of new attacks against leader Marwan Barghouti while in isolation—which were revealed by the popular campaign for his release and the release of other prisoners—is irrefutable evidence that the "israeli" occupation system continues its relentless efforts to liquidate leader Barghouti. He noted that Barghouti has not been spared from repeated attacks since the outbreak of the genocide, in addition to public, recorded threats made by Minister of National Security "Ben-Gvir". These attacks, he added, extend to a number of leaders of the Palestinian prisoners' movement who are being subjected to systematic assault campaigns in solitary confinement cells.

Al-Zaghari explained in a statement that the recent period has witnessed an accumulation of documented data based on testimonies from several leaders of the prisoners' movement held in solitary confinement. This data clearly reveals a systematic plan to liquidate them, being implemented through continuous torture mechanisms within the prisons, which have now become an explicit space for the practice of genocide. He pointed out that dozens of prisoners have been held in total solitary confinement since the beginning of the genocide, amid major obstacles imposed by the prison administration to prevent their visitation or the assessment of their conditions.

Al-Zaghari emphasized that Palestinian prisoners in "israeli" occupation prisons are facing a calculated, multifaceted extermination, manifested in torture, starvation, denial of medical treatment, and sexual abuse. Added to this is the dangerous shift solidified by the so-called "prisoner execution law," a discriminatory, racist law drafted exclusively to target Palestinians, constituting an extension of a long trajectory of extrajudicial executions. He clarified that the current reality of assaults and slow and direct executions within prisons and camps existed before the passage of this law, which served only as an official documentation of prior crimes.

Al-Zaghari held the occupation fully responsible for the safety of leader Barghouti and the lives of all prisoners in its jails. He renewed his call to the international human rights system, which faces a systematic paralysis in its role, and to the free peoples of the world to take immediate action and utilize all means to stop the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and their prisoners, to overturn the Palestinian prisoner execution law, and to work seriously to secure the freedom of our prisoners as an achievement of a human, national, and universal right. He affirmed that the current paralysis and complicity will ultimately affect the entire world.

The number of Palestinian and Arab prisoners in the occupation's prisons as of the beginning of this April exceeds 9,600, including 86 female prisoners, 350 children, and more than 3,500 administrative detainees.

Israeli settler Shmuel Wendy, director of the "Chomesh" yeshiva, has been identified as the shooter at a Palestinian school, killing one child, a man, and several other.

🟢 Hamas:
—
Hamas leader Abdel Rahman Shadid confirmed that the zionist settlers' act of killing a child by running him over in Al-Khalil, and the demolition of a school and homes in the Al-Maleh cluster in the Northern Jordan Valley, constitutes a systematic fascist crime and a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms that guarantee protection for children and the right to education.

Shadid said today, Tuesday, "As we mourn the youth Mohammad Majdi Al-Jaabari, who ascended after being run over by the convoy of the criminal zionist minister Ben Gvir in Beit Einun, north of the city of Al-Khalil, we affirm the necessity of a unified and effective national position to protect the Palestinian people from the tyranny of the settlers."

The Hamas leader called on our steadfast Palestinian people to take broad action to protect their existence and land from the settlers' attacks and criminal tampering, and to confront these repeated attacks by all available means.

He demanded that the Authority release dozens of fighters detained in its prisons in the West Bank, enable the Palestinian people to resist the occupation and deter the settlers, and be a support for them by providing protection.

In March, Leonardo UK signed a major contract worth more than $1.3 billion with the Ministry of Defence. As a result, Leonardo UK will build 23 AW149 helicopters.

One aspect of the new deal between Leonardo and the Ministry of Defence that ought to have been scrutinised by the media but wasn’t concerns the revolving door between the public sector and arm companies.

Nigel Colman, managing director of Leonardo Helicopters UK, was previously head of the Joint Helicopter Command in the Royal Air Force. According to his LinkedIn page, he stepped down from that post in April 2023 – just a few months before assuming a senior position with Leonardo UK.

Between 2015 and 2020 (when he began leading the Joint Helicopter Command), Colman worked for the Ministry of Defence.

That raises ethical questions about whether he used contacts or knowledge acquired while working in the public sector to help win a deal for a weapons maker.

Nearly half of Polish citizens say Israel's crimes against Palestinians 'comparable to Nazi Germany': Poll

A study released on 21 April by the UNESCO Chair for interdisciplinary research on antisemitism at the University of Warsaw revealed that 45 percent of Polish citizens see Israel’s actions against Palestinians as similar to Nazi Germany’s treatment of Jews.

In Poland, 45 percent of respondents agreed with the statement that “Israel’s actions against Palestinians are no different from the Nazis’ treatment of Jews.” Only 18.7 percent disagreed, while 36.2 percent said they had no clear opinion.

The research was conducted by specialists in Holocaust studies across Eastern European universities, and found similar patterns were recorded across the region, with a sizable portion of the population viewing Israel’s actions toward Palestinians as comparable to Nazi treatment of Jews.

In Austria and Germany, over 40 percent agreed with the comparison, while around 25 percent disagreed.

Slovakia also saw over 42 percent agreement, while only around 15 percent opposed the notion.

More splits in opinion were reported elsewhere, with the Czech Republic and Hungary showing roughly similar shares for both agreement and opposition, at around 30 percent.

A notable share of respondents across all surveyed countries remained undecided, which the study suggests points to the sensitivity of the issue and the growing visibility of such comparisons in public discourse.

Across all surveyed countries, a notable share of respondents remained undecided.

A recent display in Poland saw MP Konrad Berkowicz present an Israeli flag marked with a swastika in parliament, denouncing Israel’s actions, saying “Israel is in the process of committing a genocide of exceptional cruelty before our very eyes.”

“Israel is the new Third Reich, and its flag should look exactly like this,” Berkowicz stated.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has also called for accountability over Israeli war crimes and human rights abuses, stating that Israeli soldiers “killed not only Palestinian civilians but even their own hostages,” and that “Israeli soldiers themselves admit to war crimes.”

He pointed to a recent transgression where an Israeli soldier was filmed desecrating a crucifix in southern Lebanon, stressing that those responsible should face punishment.

The findings come as attitudes toward Israel shift sharply across Europe, at both public and government levels.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that Madrid will push to suspend the EU–Israel Association Agreement, while a European Citizens’ Initiative backing the move has already surpassed one million signatures, triggering a formal review by the European Commission.

Meet the Top “Content” Producers Linked to Canary Mission
A Drop Site investigation reveals the highest paid employees of the Israeli group running the infamous pro-Israel doxxing site.

The pro-Israel doxxing site Canary Mission has been notoriously secretive since its creation in 2015. The anonymous website, which began as an online blacklist targeting academics and activists who expressed pro-Palestine views, over the last year has been used by the Trump administration to select international students for arrest, detention, and deportation. Despite its increasingly high profile, the website’s operators have remained largely unknown.

In January, Drop Site reported on unlisted websites used by Canary Mission to plan and execute its doxxing operation and was able to confirm that the site is operated in Israel. The unlisted website data revealed that an employee paid by the Israeli nonprofit Megamot Shalom as a writer provided content for Canary Mission’s dossiers of targets, confirming earlier reporting by The Forward that Megamot Shalom’s only known activity appears to be providing support to Canary Mission.

Drop Site has now identified five more people whom Megamot Shalom has employed as content writers, editors, and consultants. These individuals—Elihu David Stone, Yehuda HaKohen, Abigail Bornstein, Aharon Dikel, and Alexander Malbin Duncan—were identified through a review of Megamot Shalom’s business filings with the Israeli government from 2016 to 2024, where they were listed as the nonprofit’s highest-paid employees. They are all Americans who moved to Israel and are connected to one another and individuals reported to be involved with Canary Mission.

…

The Canary Mission website was launched in the spring of 2015; Megamot Shalom was incorporated in late 2015 and made its first filing in 2016. A series of reports by The Forward in 2018 uncovered evidence that Megamot Shalom was formed as the entity running Canary Mission’s operations by a UK-born businessman named Jonathan Bash, who now lives in Jerusalem.

…

Drop Site’s previous investigation confirmed that Megamot Shalom appears to run Canary Mission, with non-public websites revealing staging material for Canary Mission’s website showing that someone uploading content for a dossier of a pro-Palestine activist on the site matched the name of a person listed as a content writer on Megamot Shalom’s business listing, a UK-born writer named Alex Ben Carson, now living in Jerusalem.

Megamot Shalom’s filings reveal that it receives millions from overseas donors, including funds from major American nonprofits that were earmarked for Canary Mission on their tax filings, another indication that Megamot operates the website. American donations are moved to Megamot via a New York-based nonprofit called the Central Fund of Israel. Drop Site previously uncovered ties between Bash and a New York interior design business that shares an address with the Central Fund of Israel.

The American Israelis who appear to be providing content for Canary Mission’s operations via Megamot Shalom come from all over the U.S., and have been involved in American organizations like settler nonprofits, the Wexner Foundation, and Israeli groups with reported ties to the Israeli government such as the legal nonprofit Shurat HaDin.

A number of the Megamot Shalom content writers are also associated with Aish HaTorah, a Jewish Orthodox educational nonprofit based in Jerusalem to which Bash, some his family members, and other Megamot Shalom board members have longstanding ties.

The Wexner Fellow
Elihu David Stone appears in the Megamot Shalom government fillings every year from 2016 through 2024, in a section that lists the organization’s five highest paid employees. His title is given as content writer or content editor, depending on the year, and his top annual compensation was about $80,000 (236,682 shekels), which made him the highest paid employee for five years.

…

Stone has been involved in nonprofit and advocacy work since the 1990s, when he was selected as one of the 1992 Wexner Heritage Program fellows. Stone stayed involved with Wexner, attending an alumni retreat in 1994 and writing for the group’s website several times, most recently in 2017. The Wexner Heritage fellowship program was funded by the Wexner Foundation at the time, which by then had already appointed late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein as a trustee. The foundation described the Heritage program as designed to “strengthen Jewish community leaders by making educational resources and experienced clergy and faculty available to selected Jewish communities, allowing the intensive study of biblical text, history, philosophy and law.”

…

The “Post-Zionist” Rabbi
Yehuda HaKohen, a well-known Israeli settler and rabbi originally from New York, appears as one of Megamot Shalom’s highest-paid employees in 2016 and 2017 and is friends with Stone on Facebook. HaKohen is listed as a “content consultant,” earning roughly $14,500 (43,494 shekels) for part of 2016 and $57,000 (169,657 shekels) in 2017.

Born Jason Weisbrod in New York, HaKohen joined the Jewish Defense League after graduating from a Manhattan preparatory school, and then moved to Israel in 2001 and enlisted in the IDF, according to a 2020 profile.

HaKohen has been involved with other pro-Israel campus outreach groups, including another group led by Jonathan Bash called Video Activism. A 2016 promotional video for the group-–that includes the tagline, “Want to fight for Israel and build your resume?”—shows HaKohen sitting with Bash on a panel.

…

The New York Lawyer
In Megamat Shalom’s 2020 filings, a new writer appeared among the top five highest paid employees section. Abigail Bornstein was paid $46,400 (139,000 shekels) for “content writing.”

…

On LinkedIn, Bornstein lists her job since 2014 as social media manager for Shurat HaDin, or the Israel Law Center, a Tel Aviv-based organization known for aggressive litigation accusing individuals and companies—including John Kerry, Hilary Clinton, President Jimmy Carter, and Facebook—of supporting terrorism. Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, the group’s founder, described in a 2017 book how she worked directly with Mossad to choose the group’s legal targets. A 2007 U.S. embassy cable published by Wikileaks also detailed the group’s activities.

…

Canary Mission’s dossiers were used by the Department of Homeland Security in 2025 to build lists of foreign students who expressed pro-Palestine views, with over 75 people identified based on Canary Mission’s anonymous blacklists, according to deposition testimony by DHS officials in a federal lawsuit filed by the American Association of University Professors and the Middle East Studies Association. In January, a federal judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and said the case revealed an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to violate the First Amendment.

In February, a coalition of 70 American religious and civil rights organizations demanded that the Department of Justice open a Foreign Agents Registration Act investigation into Canary Mission, based on Drop Site’s previous reporting indicating the group’s operations are based in Israel.

“If this Justice Department will not act to protect Americans from the Israeli government and its agents,” said the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), “it must at least stop using Canary’s blacklists to target college kids and state attorney generals should open their own investigation.”

“It’s not surprising but ironic that this group would use opaque and evasive tactics to hide who they are,” Christina Abraham, who directs CAIR-Chicago’s Litigation Clinic, told Drop Site.

“The fact that there’s a foreign interest behind Canary Mission,” added Abraham, who tracks the consequences of Canary Mission’s doxxing operation, “means a lot of Americans would be concerned now more than ever. It absolutely does not make sense that our government would listen to sources like this, people with an extremist agenda, saying they openly want to use intimidation tactics to suppress our free speech.”

🚨 Resistance security forces thwarted a sabotage attempt at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.

The Resistance security forces released details regarding the thwarted plot:
• Collaborator groups, acting under directives from IOF intelligence, planned to use civilians as human shields to storm the hospital and kidnap wounded patients for the occupation.
• IOF intelligence promised the groups air cover to facilitate the operation.
• Resistance security forces arrested a collaborator who scouted patient wards and confessed to coordinating with the occupation.

The Resistance security forces vowed to continue dismantling these networks and holding them accountable for crimes against the public.

🚨 Family of the prisoner, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya:
—
We received a notification from the "israeli" military prosecutor's office extending the detention of Dr. Abu Safiya illegally, and a court session is scheduled regarding this on 28/04/2026.

Dr. Hussam is still being held without any formal charges brought against him, while being denied lawyer visits for more than two months since his transfer to "Ketziot" prison in the Naqab.

We warn of the deterioration of his health condition as a result of his exposure to violence, his significant weight loss, and systematic medical negligence inside the prisons.

The case of Dr. Abu Safiya is but a part of a wider violation; "israel" is holding 13 other doctors, alongside dozens of nurses and paramedics, in illegal detention that lacks the minimum international standards.

These practices, which include extrajudicial killings and the deprivation of food and care, aim to paralyze the health system in Gaza and deprive thousands of wounded people of their right to treatment.

We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Dr. Abu Safiya and all detained medical personnel.

We direct an urgent appeal to the international community and human rights organizations for immediate intervention to put an end to these moral and legal violations affecting Palestinian medical personnel.

The place for doctors is hospitals to save lives, not behind bars in inhumane conditions.

• Seizure of multiple residential homes, which were converted into military barracks.
• Targeting of an UNRWA clinic.
• Issuance of demolition notices for residential and commercial structures.
• Injuries reported from live fire and tear gas.

The US tech giant where employees wear IDF uniforms to work

Last month, a data analyst at financial tech giant Intuit showed up to a company Zoom call in full IDF uniform. Intuit’s products include the widely-used tax return program TurboTax.
This article was originally published by Do Not Panic!

The American tech giant behind the most popular tax filing software in the US allows employees to wear their IDF uniforms to work and also permits them to take months off the job to fight Israel’s wars.

Last month, Tom Yacobi, a data analyst at financial tech giant Intuit, whose products include the widely-used tax return program TurboTax, showed up to an all-hands company Zoom call in his full IDF uniform.

Yacobi works in TurboTax’s trust and safety team which handles the most sensitive personally identifiable information of TurboTax customers and users.

The whistleblower who provided me with this screenshot told me that since the beginning of the Gaza genocide, Israeli employees of California-based Intuit have, like Yacobi, been allowed to take as long as three or four months off work, often with minimal notice, to serve as reservists in the IDF.

“Intuit has shown no consideration for how these disruptions affect workflows and operations for employees in the US who have had to put processes on hold and postpone meetings to cater to Israeli employees’ army schedules,” PM (not their real initials) told me. “And of course, there has been no concern for the emotional and mental health impact on US employees who have been put in the awkward position of joining Zoom calls with active soldiers implicated in genocide and war crimes.”

Showing up to work in a military uniform, let alone the uniform of a military which has committed genocide and war crimes, and whose former head is an ICC-indicted war criminal, is not only unprofessional and unethical, but clearly an unabashed display of arrogance and impunity.

PM said one senior manager took three consecutive months off work from October to December 2023 to participate in the genocide of Gaza. PM says Israeli employees continue to take two-week stints off work for IDF reserve duty.

PM has never raised the issue with HR or management for fear of the consequences at such an openly pro-Israel and pro-genocide company.

“What discouraged me the most was the shocking depravity of hearing directly from chief information security officer, Atticus Tysen, that the company had selected the Israel office as a ‘strategic growth site’ during the peak of the Gaza genocide, in December 2023. This was announced at the same time as the company was down-sizing certain American and Canadian offices.”

According to PM, Intuit employees are regularly required to think about Israeli feelings. PM says that on numerous occasions since October 2023, Intuit management have posted on the company-wide Slack messaging app “about the need to show our Israeli colleagues extra kindness and grace because of their distressful circumstances.” Needless to say, Intuit management have never posted similar messages concerning the distress of those who may have been affected by the Israeli genocide of Gaza or Israel’s mass murder of civilians in Lebanon and Iran.

PM adds that “many” of Intuit’s Israeli employees have moved to the US on an L-1 visa in the last few years, with the process for approval much easier than for an H-1B visa. An L-1 visa allows multinationals to transfer employees from their overseas offices to their US offices, and is a straightforward pathway to permanent US residency.

Zionists serve in key leadership positions at Intuit.

Marianna Tessel, an executive vice-president and general manager, is an Israeli-American who served as a captain at Mamram, the computing centre and IT backbone of the Israeli military. In 2023 Tessel posted on LinkedIn about her visit to Intuit’s Israel-based R&D centre which is staffed almost exclusively by former Israeli intelligence officers.

In 2023 the Jerusalem Post reported that Intuit’s Israeli employees were going to lead on integrating generative AI into TurboTax software. Tessel said Intuit’s Israel office creates “some of our fintech software, and much of the AI.”

David Hahn, another executive vice-president and general manager at Intuit, is a friend and confidante of Jewish-Zionist venture capitalist Keith Rabois, who he met when both worked at LinkedIn. Rabois is married to Jacob Helberg, an undersecretary of state in the Trump administration and an influential, if little-known Zionist voice in the US government. Rabois is often referred to, alongside Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, as a member of the ‘Paypal Mafia’ for his role in launching Paypal.

Hahn is also close with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, another Jewish-Zionist big tech linchpin. In 2014 Hahn joined Hoffman’s venture capital firm Greylock Partners as an “entrepreneur-in-residence.”

Intuit, whose CEO Sasan Goodarzi is an Iranian exile, has a market cap of $111 billion. As well as TurboTax, the company also owns the accounting software QuickBooks, the credit monitoring service Credit Karma and the automated email software program Mailchimp. The company’s main revenue generator however is TurboTax, and as such it has spent two decades and many millions of dollars lobbying US politicians to stop the IRS building a free online tax return service.

In October 2023 the Republicans, looking for budget items they could cut to pay for Israel’s genocide of Gaza, targeted the funding the Biden administration had set aside for the creation of a government-built online tax return service. At the time the GOP only controlled the House of Representatives, and the proposed free service, known as Direct File, survived. After Trump’s win and the Republican capture of both houses of Congress however, Direct File was eliminated.

This was a significant win for TurboTax as it once again fended off the challenge of a free online tax return program and locked tens of millions of Americans into using TurboTax’s paid-for service.

Just a few months before it was scrapped, Intuit’s Zionist leadership donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. The end of an IRS-run service was an obvious quid pro quo for this bribe.

PM’s experience and the Intuit story is like so many stories in the US today.

A story of corporate complicity in war crimes.

A story of the seemingly intractable connections between American tech companies and the genocidal Israeli military.

A story of bribery and grift.

And one about the influence Zionists have over the political process in the US and the lives of ordinary Americans.

Israeli military speedboats block Gaza-bound aid ship
Organisers of a humanitarian aid ship sailing towards Gaza to help break Israel’s blockade say the vessel has been approached by apparent Israeli speedboats.

“Our boats were approached by military speedboats, self-identified as ‘Israel’, pointing lasers and semi-automatic assault weapons ordering participants to the front of the boats and to get on their hands and knees,” said the Global Sumud Flotilla aid mission.

“Boat communications are being jammed and a SOS was issued.”

Israel Army Radio cited an Israeli source as saying it began seizing control of aid ships heading towards Gaza, far from Israeli shores.

Sumud Flotilla calls for governments to act over Israel’s sea assault
A spokesperson for the Global Sumud Flotilla has described Israel’s boarding of its vessels “a straight up attack on unarmed civilian boats in international waters”.

Press officer Gur Tsabar, speaking to Al Jazeera from Toronto, Canada, said the sea assault is taking place “hundreds of miles from Israel” with the flotilla being “surrounded and threatened at gunpoint”.

“This is illegal under international law. Israel has no jurisdiction in these waters. Boarding these boats amounts to illegal detention – potentially kidnapping on the high seas,” said Tsabar.

“It’s critical that all governments act now. Every government has an obligation to protect the over 400 civilians onboard and uphold international law. Silence in this moment is absolute complicity.”
