Brother Nathanael @ February 6, 2025
Yes, Trump should rebuild Gaza, clear the rubble and remove the unexploded bombs (proudly Made in the USA!).
Then he should publicly apologize to the Palestinians and give them back their rebuilt homeland!
The dead will not be brought back and the maimed will not be fully restored. The widows and the orphans will not get their husbands and fathers back, but at least Trump would repair some of the damage done by Biden, Blinken and Co.
Finally, he should cancel all help to Israel, military or economic, and warn them to stop the carnage.
This would be the only fair deal that he can offer.
Remove Hamas and the Palestinians from Gaza? What does he think that the Jews were trying to do the last 16 months? He should show some respect!
Ach, we need to act, and act now my friends, against the perfidious enemies of mankind. But it will not be easy.
Their tight throathold on business, finance, the media and politics won’t be broken overnight. They are a crafty and determined lot, to whom innocent lives are counted as nothing. Less than nothing!
Yes, the mosque of Satan must be eliminated!
Maybe those Israelis need to go back to the Sinai and wonder some more about God’s special plan for them. Not even Moses could turn his back on them without them going rogue and they are not going to listen Jesus nowadays either!
Just thinking outside the box, like Trump?
Follow the shekel. -Kj

[RG911Team] Why does Israel care so much about taking control of Gaza?
Is it because of Hamas attacks? No.
A desire for more oceanfront property? No.
A hatred of Arabs? Not exactly.
It’s because Gaza holds the key to incredible wealth.

Egypt galvanizes Arab momentum against Trump’s Gaza plan
By Reuters
February 7, 20258:39 AM CST
DUBAI, Feb 7 (Reuters) – Egypt said on Friday it had been in contact with Arab partners including Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to firm up the region’s rejection of any displacement of Palestinians after U.S. President Donald Trump said they should go from Gaza.
Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty had been in communication with counterparts from 11 nations, a statement said.
Those had emphasised “the constants of the Arab position on the Palestinian cause, rejecting any measures aimed at displacing the Palestinian people from their land, or encouraging their transfer to other countries outside the Palestinian territories,” it said.
Trump has suggested the U.S. take control of Gaza from Israel and create a “Riviera of the Middle East” after resettling Palestinians elsewhere including Egypt and Jordan. But Arab nations want to see a two-state solution with a separate Palestinian homeland alongside Israel.
Moving Palestinians would represent “flagrant violation of international law, an infringement on Palestinian rights, a threat to security and stability in the region and an undermining of opportunities for peace and coexistence among its peoples,” Egypt’s statement said.
Rather, Egypt was looking with other Arab nations at how to rebuild and clean up Gaza after Israel’s military campaign decimated the strip in response to Palestinian militant group Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, cross-border attack on Israel.
Egyptian security sources told Reuters that the nation’s presidency, military and intelligence were united in rejecting Trump’s plan despite disagreements on how to respond.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has said Egyptians would take to the streets to oppose resettling Palestinians.
Egypt has been an important U.S. ally in the region and helped broker the Gaza ceasefire with Qatar and the U.S.

Egypt to mobilize resources for Gaza reconstruction: PM Madbouly to Palestinian counterpart
Ahram Online
Radwa ElSayed Hani , Thursday 6 Feb 2025
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said Thursday that Egypt would mobilize its resources to contribute to Gaza’s reconstruction efforts, stressing the state’s commitment to cooperating with various regional and international partners to rebuild the strip.
Madbouly’s remarks came during a meeting with his Palestinian counterpart Mohammed Mustafa in Cairo, where they discussed the current situation in Gaza and reconstruction efforts.
The Egyptian PM highlighted the capabilities of Egyptian companies in supporting reconstruction efforts in the Gaza Strip, according to the Egyptian cabinet.
After 15 months of a devastating war against Gaza, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported in January that 92 percent of homes in the strip have been destroyed. Previous estimates from the UN have estimated the time needed to reconstruct Gaza to be over 16 years.
Madbouly also highlighted Egypt’s steadfast stance in rejecting any proposal aimed at displacing the Palestinian people from Gaza to any other place.
The Egyptian PM reaffirmed Cairo’s unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state based on June 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Madbouly reiterated to his Palestinian counterpart Egypt’s commitment to advancing Palestinian interests, paving the way for the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to establish a Palestinian state, the Egyptian cabinet said.

1/ Israel’s existence has always relied on Hasbara — aka state propaganda. But it seems like the usual tricks aren’t working anymore. So now, they’re switching tactics.
Here’s everything you need to know to arm yourself against the what Israel is calling “Hasbara 2.0.”
2/ Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel just approved a 500 million shekel ($135M) budget for “public diplomacy.”
That’s 20x the pre-Gaza war budget.
3/ The first pillar of the new strategy — decentralization.
Instead of Israeli officials delivering the talking points, the government will funnel money to “independent” organizations, influencers, and activists to spread the message for them.
4/ Second pillar — aggression, not persuasion.
No more trying to “win hearts and minds” with apologetics. The new approach — just hammering home pro-Israel messaging with conviction.
Think less “Israel regrets civilian casualties” and more “That’s war — deal with it.”
5/ Third pillar — hide the money.
Israel will now fund pro-Israel PR groups in the U.S. & Europe through the use of “Public Benefit Corporations” (PBCs).
“In the end, you see a bank transfer from a PBC and not a bank transfer from the Israeli government. That’s the idea.”
6/ Pillar four — highlight the Jewish religion.
Israel plans to double down on bringing religion into its propaganda playbook by tying Judaism more directly to Zionism in its global messaging.
The goal: make criticizing Israel feel like a rejection of Jewish identity itself.
7/ Fifth pillar — missions, missions, missions.
Pro-Israel activists say no tactic is more effective than bringing influencers and leaders to experience Israel firsthand to create emotional connections and turn visitors into lifelong advocates.
More trips = better Hasbara.
8/ Ultimately, the goal of “Hasbara 2.0” is to shift the perception of Israel’s policies without audiences realizing they’re being influenced by state-funded propaganda.
If you’re not paying attention, you will be manipulated.
Stay sharp. Stay skeptical.

Despite Shocking Gaza Plan, ‘Netanyahu Didn’t Get Anything He Wanted in His Meeting With Trump’
Haaretz Podcast | 5 February 2025
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s supporters on the Israeli right may be celebrating after President Donald Trump unveiled his “Mar-a-Gaza” vision following the two leaders White House meeting.
But Haaretz columnist Alon Pinkas, analyzing the meeting behind the optics, believes Netanyahu has little to celebrate.
Speaking on the Haaretz Podcast following the meeting, Pinkas told host Allison Kaplan Sommer that the firestorm over Trump’s desire to “own” and “take control” of Gaza and relocate its 2 million residents, overshadowed the fact that Netanyahu clearly failed in his attempt to convince the U.S. president to back out of the cease-fire and hostage release deal with Hamas.
“There was nothing he said that affects the continuity of the cease-fire and stage two of the hostage deal,” said Pinkas, noting that “even if you take Trump at his word and you think of [the Gaza takeover] as some kind of a viable or feasible plan, the cease-fire has to continue for it to happen.”
The chaos and distraction Trump managed to sow with his Gaza statements can’t hide the fact that Netanyahu came to Washington “with no leverage” and facing a U.S. president “at the height of his power” and ultimately, did not come away accomplishing anything he might have wanted to achieve.
“When you look at the reality sitcom that took place in the White House on Tuesday, was there any mention of Saudi normalization that you recalled? There wasn’t,” said Pinkas, “Was there any allusion to an attack on Iran? There wasn’t. Was there any reference to Trump understanding that the Israelis need to completely annihilate Hamas after 16 months of not doing so? There wasn’t.”

All Bibsy got from Trump was a signed photograph. -Kj
It is beginning to look like Trump was assassination in that helicopter crash.
The Trump who was in the video with Bibi is too short. Also Trump is making a 180 degree turn with Israel. Ben Fulford and Col. Douglas McGregor are suppose to do a video on this.
I hope the real Trump is in hiding and not dead. The VIP on that helicopter was not identified I believe. Now we appear to have a Chabad controlled president. God help us all.
Is it possible we have two different Trumps as president?
The prophet Kim Clement talked about two presidents in the office. If this is so things will be very confusing. The deep state may think they killed Trump, but maybe he is still in charge while hiding out.
This would be very prudent for safety concerns. Time will tell who comes out on top.
At least right now the fraud and waste of these Democrats/ Rino government run agencies is being exposed. And the Zionist run immigration/invasion is being reversed.
Brother Nathanael, what version of the Bible do you read?
Thank you.
Ex-Israeli war chief confirms issuing Hannibal Directive to kill own civilians, soldiers on 7 Oct
Israeli forces used attack helicopters, drones, and tanks to kill their own civilians and soldiers while blaming the deaths on Hamas
News Desk
THE CRADLE | FEB 7, 2025
Former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant has acknowledged ordering the army to use the Hannibal Directive to kill Israeli civilians and soldiers during the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023.
During an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 on 7 February, Gallant admitted to ordering the controversial protocol that involves killing captives along with their captors.
When asked whether an order was given to implement the Hannibal Directive, Gallant responded:
“I think that, tactically, in some places, it was given, and in other places, it was not given, and that is a problem.”
Israel claims Hamas killed roughly 1,100 Israeli civilians and soldiers during its attack on Israeli settlements and military bases on 7 October as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
However, Israeli forces killed large numbers of their own civilians and soldiers during the attack. The army dispatched attack helicopters, drones, and tanks on its own territory to respond to the attack, killing not only Hamas fighters but also Israeli civilians and soldiers that the Palestinian fighters attempted to take as captives back to Gaza.
Israeli helicopters also killed Israeli civilians at the Nova festival, which took place near the Re’im military base.
Gallant also criticized former police security minister Itamar Ben Gvir for his provocative storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, stating that it “was like detonating the situation.”
Gallant made the comments in his first interview since being dismissed as defense minister in November.
The former defense minister said that the current ceasefire deal with Hamas in Gaza is nearly identical to an earlier proposal that Hamas was willing to agree to in April last year.
Gallant accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet of delaying the ceasefire deal, adding that had he agreed to it at that time, Israel could have brought back more living captives while releasing fewer Palestinian security prisoners, Gallant said.
Many of the 251 Israeli soldiers and civilians successfully taken captive by Hamas were later killed by Israeli airstrikes and friendly fire from soldiers.
“I think that the Israeli government did not do everything it could have to return the hostages,” Gallant stated.
In January, Israel’s top general, Herzi Halevi, resigned. He cited the “terrible failure” of security and intelligence related to the Hamas attack.
Israel’s subsequent war on Gaza has killed at least 47,000 Palestinians, with some estimates suggesting that the death toll exceeds 200,000.

Bomb the area, gas the tunnels: Israel’s unbridled war on Gaza’s underground
+972 Magazine | 6 February 2025
Unable to pinpoint Hamas commanders in Gaza’s tunnels, the Israeli army decimated entire residential blocks with bunker-buster bombs to crush the passages below and flood them with lethal fumes, an investigation reveals.
The Israeli army intensively bombarded residential areas in Gaza when it lacked intelligence on the exact location of Hamas commanders hiding underground, and intentionally weaponized toxic byproducts of bombs to suffocate militants in their tunnels, an investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call can reveal.

Israel delenda est!
Why are there two Trumps?
He needs to speed up cleaning the mess, while there’s still a country.
I enjoy babysitting mentally ill people.
That’s what my Mom did.
My friends, I am looking for investors for a new business idea: an immersive, Jewish themed horror attraction called “Auschwitz 2.0 – Return of the Nazties©”.
I envision a forty acre compound (conveniently located near New York City), complete with a “Gate of No Return”, electrified barbed wire, bona fide Neo-Nazi SS guards – with working guns! Minefields, guard towers with spotlights, camp latrines (with real human feces!), snarling anti-Semitic dogs, and a working 20’x20′ shower that can accommodate 6,000,000 people at a time!
Once the abusement park becomes a cash cow, and it soon will, I next envision adding a hotel/barracks complex – complete with *real Jewish kapos!* Who will complete the experience by cruelly mistreating the guests… errr… inmates. Shaking them down for any cigarettes or hidden food, or diamonds, gold or other jewelry they may have swallowed.
Every aspect of life in Auschwitz will be re-falsified down to *the final detail* in ways that are guaranteed to tickle the visitor’s amygdala!
I can promise you every Jew alive has nightmares of Dr. Mengele vivisecting them. They will flood in from around the world to relive what has for generations been real in their minds. And not only them! The guilt tripping liberals and Christian evangelicals will try to outdo one other in rendering slavish obeisance to Holocaustianity©!
Politicians of course will find themselves compelled to offer perpetual homage to the memory of the Six Million, (unless they don’t want to be re-elected). What a photo op it will be for them to have their pictures taken before the “Gate of Doom”!
Also, almost magically, schools will be forcing the kiddies to take day trips there. The MSM too, it can be guaranteed, will happily offer its full throated endorsement!
My friends, how could you live with yourself if you fail to immediately jump onboard this once in a lifetime opportunity?
For further details go to THERabbiGlickman.com.
Keep in mind that in the “rubble” that Trump and his admin talk about removing, are thousands of bodies. Evidence of Israel’s war crimes.
This is why they want to be the ones to “clean it up,” so they can cover up the crimes.
I’m not going to be distracted by all the things Trump talks about doing for the U.S. Just look at Bibi’s expression when his puppet Trump performs, he’s well pleased with him. That’s who Trump answers to, not us.
Debating whether Trump can do it or not doesn’t take away from the fact that he publicly announced his desire to, which shows who he is and who owns him.
Remember he’s said all along that he was going to help Israel “finish the job”. He completely lacks moral integrity.
Rav Glickman,
I want to know the various definitions of “goyim” and how the word relates to “golem”.
My understand is that it literally means non human cattle. But, I think there’s more to it and there are many subtle variations and uses among the rabbinate. Golem is a non thinking creation that also may mean asleep or unaware. Jews perceive the gentiles as goyim because collectively they are unaware or asleep to the dangers and cannot act in defense.
As a junior rabbi, I am still learning and it wasn’t covered in Talmudic school.
Please clarify.
Thank you for your time.
Shalom l’chaim

As negotiators arrive in Doha, sources say it’s just for ‘show,’ PM aims to brick deal
Hebrew media reports delegation ‘has no real mandate’ and Netanyahu is ‘signaling clearly’ that he has no intention of reaching the second stage of the ceasefire
Times of Israel | 9 February 2025
As an Israeli delegation arrived in Qatar on Saturday night to negotiate the next phase of the ongoing ceasefire-hostage deal, reports in Hebrew media said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is aiming for the collapse of the agreement before its second phase and gave the delegation “no real mandate” for negotiations.
The Haaretz daily reported Sunday, quoting unnamed Israeli sources, that the delegation to Doha is “a show,” and that “Netanyahu is signaling quite clearly that he does not want to move on to the next phase.”
“He is sending a team without a mandate and without the ability to do anything,” the sources were quoted as saying, adding that Netanyahu believes the ceasefire has been bad for him politically.
“Right-wing voters see on the ground that we have not defeated Hamas and its operatives continue to walk around with weapons. The signs on the stages in Gaza at the hostage release ceremonies even mock Netanyahu and his slogan of ‘total victory,’” one source said.
The source was referencing images of Saturday’s hostage release ceremony, which saw captives Eli Sharabi, 52, Or Levy, 34, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, returned to Israel.
On the stage at Hamas’s propaganda-filled handover event was a sign with Netanyahu’s face and his trademark wartime slogan “total victory,” apparently mocking the prime minister.
Citing a separate source, Haaretz reported that Netanyahu’s conduct may even collapse the ceasefire before the first phase of the deal is over, saying that once Hamas realizes that Israel does not intend to get to the second stage, the terror group could refuse to release more hostages and collapse the deal entirely.
“Hamas is not stupid,” the source was quoted as saying. “They see the politicization of the negotiations, the placement of Netanyahu confidants Ron Dermer and Gal Hirsch [at the helm of negotiations], the threats by [Finance Minister Bezalel] Smotrich and the right-wing ministers that they will dissolve the government. They understand where this is going.”
“As soon as [Hamas] realizes that there will not be a second phase, they will not complete the first phase either,” the source alleged.
According to Channel 12, Netanyahu sent the delegation to Doha only to “discuss the technical details of the agreement” and not to actually negotiate the deal’s second stage.
Israeli officials were quoted by the outlet as saying that “this delegation has no real mandate. It will not deal with anything related to the second phase. [US special envoy Steve] Witkoff asked for a delegation to leave and Netanyahu is doing so, in part to avoid giving Hamas reasons to blow up the deal.”
The report added that among the Israeli delegation is the government’s hostage point-man Hirsch and a senior Shin Bet official, who went in place of the head of the security agency, Ronen Bar, whom Netanyahu removed from his negotiating role.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, upon Netanyahu’s return from the United States he will hold a cabinet discussion on the deal’s second phase.
Senior Israeli officials cited by the Walla news site said that the delegation was being dispatched as a “symbolic warm-up trip,” intended primarily to demonstrate goodwill toward US President Donald Trump, as he has expressed a desire to see the deal carried out in full.
A senior Hamas official warned in an interview with AFP on Saturday that Israel’s “lack of commitment” to the second phase of the talks was putting the entire ceasefire deal in danger of collapse.
Asked by AFP whether there is a possibility that the terror group will return to war should the ceasefire agreement collapse, Hamas politburo official Basem Naim said that the “delay and lack of commitment in implementing the first phase,” as well as the attempts to “pressure the Palestinian negotiators upon entering the second phase, certainly exposes this agreement to danger and thus it might stop and collapse.”
The agreement is now in its 42-day first phase, during which 33 children, women and older men are supposed to be released in Gaza in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, including many terror convicts.
The second phase would see the release of around 24 living male hostages, and some 35 dead hostages, in return for the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire in the war sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror onslaught.
Following Saturday’s hostage release, 73 of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 34 confirmed dead by the IDF.
Hamas has so far released 21 hostages — civilians, soldiers, and five Thai nationals — during the ceasefire, which began in January. The terror group freed 105 civilians during a weeklong truce in late November 2023, and four hostages were released before that.
Eight hostages have been rescued alive by troops, and the bodies of 40 hostages have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the Israeli military as they tried to escape their captors.
Hamas is also holding two Israeli civilians who entered the Strip in 2014 and 2015, as well as the body of an IDF soldier who was killed in 2014. The body of another IDF soldier, also killed in 2014, was recovered from Gaza in January.

You have done well to ask me that question, Rav Mortichai. As it happens, I am descended from a long line of famous, golem making rabbis, the ben Shaitan of Prague!
“Golem” and “goyim” share the same Hebrew root: “goh”. Which means “unformed” or “dirt”. You can easily see the connection. The dumb, brutish golem which are made to serve the Jews bear a striking similitude to the dumb, brutish goyim, who were made to serve the Jews.
Both have thick, plodding minds and personalities, and need the firm guiding hand of the Jews to make them productive.
Both may have eyes, but their eyes are not like a Jew’s eyes – bright and lively. No, their eyes are dull… lifeless eyes. Like a doll’s eyes! Bespeaking the lack of a divine spark within.
Both were made to serve the Jews. The difference is the goyim were made by G-d to serve the Jews; whereas golem are made by Jews to serve the Jews.
Unfortunately, our golem, for no reason whatsoever, often run amok and turn on the Jews. Killing and injuring many. Same with the goyim.
I have been working on an incantation for creating golem that won’t run amok. But these things aren’t inexpensive. Please consider making a contribution at THERabbiGlickman.com. Every little bit helps.

Marvel heads revealed to be closely connected to Israeli intelligence
If Americans Knew | 11 February 2025
By Jessica Buxbaum, Reposted from MRonline, September 23, 2022
Earlier this month, activists and comic book fans alike were in uproar over Marvel Studios’ announcement that Israeli actress Shira Haas will play Zionist superhero Sabra in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Captain America: New World Order. Many Palestine advocates accused Marvel’s decision to add Sabra to the MCU as exalting Israeli abuse and war crimes.
“By glorifying the Israeli army & police, Marvel is promoting Israel’s violence against Palestinians & enabling the continued oppression of millions of Palestinians living under Israel’s authoritarian military rule,” the Institute for Middle East Understanding wrote in a tweet.
Following the backlash, Marvel said in a statement to Variety that it will take a “new approach” to the character, in a perceived attempt to placate criticisms.
Yet vows to reimagine the Sabra character, a former spy for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, may come across as disingenuous, especially when, upon closer examination, Marvel appears closely connected to the Israeli government and its main intelligence agency Mossad.
Marvel & Israel’s Deepening Relationship
Many individuals who have held or still maintain roles at Marvel are associated with the Israeli military, Israeli intelligence and Zionist institutions that uphold apartheid. For instance, Isaac Perlmutter, the current chairman of Marvel Entertainment who served on Marvel Comics’ board of directors until 1995, grew up in 1948-occupied Palestine (or modern-day Israel) and served in the Israeli military during the 1967 Six-Day War. Avi Arad, the CEO of Marvel Entertainment, also grew up in modern-day Israel and served in the Israeli army during the Six-Day War.
Along with his wife, Laura, Perlmutter oversees a foundation that contributes to several pro-Israel causes such as the Anti-Defamation League, Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, the America-Israel Friendship League, the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County in Florida, and the Jewish Agency for Israel. The Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation has also supported the Hebrew University and Israel’s Technion Institute of Technology.
The Perlmutters are also heavily linked to the Trump family. In 2016, their organization donated $25,000 to the Eric Trump Foundation. According to Open Secrets, a campaign finance tracker, in 2016, Laura Perlmutter donated $5,400 to former President Donald Trump’s campaign and nearly $450,000 to the Trump Victory Committee, a joint fundraising initiative by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee. The couple then gave more than $1 million to the Trump Victory Committee in 2019 and 2020 and contributed another $11,200 to Trump’s reelection campaign in 2019.
Isaac Perlmutter donated $5 million in 2016 to the Great America PAC, a super political action committee (PAC) supporting Trump. The couple also contributed $10.5 million in 2020 to American First Action, a PAC supporting Trump. In addition, Both Perlmutters have backed several state and federal Republican entities and candidates over the years. The hefty donations did not go unnoticed, earning Isaac a spot in shaping policies at the Department of Veteran Affairs during Trump’s time in office, according to an investigation by ProPublica.
Early Marvel Comics’ investors Carl Icahn and Ronald Perelman are also tied to both Israel and Trump. Icahn donated $5,400 to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and was subsequently named Trump’s special adviser
Both Perelman and Icahn were revealed as potential donors to former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign ahead of the 2007 primary elections. Perelman’s foundation has also contributed to several pro-Israel organizations, including the Chabad Lubavitch’s social services agency, Machne Israel, and the Jewish National Fund, which is a leading organization in establishing illegal Israeli settlements and displacing Palestinians.
Perelman also donated $125,000 to Trump’s Victory Committee in 2017 and is reportedly friends with Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. He was also listed in convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s address book.
Film producer Amy Pascal, who plays a key role in coordinating the collaboration between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment, is a known Israel lobbyist. Leaked Sony emails reveal Pascal received email updates on the security situation in Israel from the now-defunct, right-wing advocacy group, The Israel Project.
She also received emails from Creative Community for Peace, an organization fighting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement in the entertainment industry. In 2014, Pascal and her husband also received an email invitation to attend a private event about the situation in Israel with the Israeli Consul General of Los Angeles, David Siegel, and president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, Jay Sanderson.
Israeli propaganda has become deeply entrenched in Hollywood, in part because of many prominent entertainment oligarchs’ pro-Israel beliefs, as well as the global success of Israeli television series like “Shtisel” and “Fauda”. The latter television show glamorized the Israeli army, specifically the Mista’arvim unit, an undercover military wing designed to infiltrate Palestinian communities.
Israeli actress Gal Gadot’s casting as Wonder Woman also helped normalize Israel on the world stage, especially given her pride in serving in the Israeli military. Now Haas, who is set to play Sabra, is poised to be another example of Hollywood normalizing the apartheid state. Haas has been involved with pro-Israel organization, StandWithUs, participating in a StandWithUs Facebook live to talk about her success. StandWithUs presents itself as an educational resource on Israel, but the organization is responsible for silencing the Palestinian narrative in schools and blacklisting pro-Palestine voices on campuses. Haas also served in the Israeli military’s theater.
The Mossad works with the U.S. entertainment industry to promote an attractive image of Israel abroad. SPYLEGENDS–an agency made up of former Mossad spies and other ex-security officials–was established in 2021 to advise Hollywood on spy films. The Mossad has also openly welcomed the slew of thrillers showcasing the intelligence agency as sleek and prestigious in an effort to boost recruitment.
Marvel’s Links To U.S. Militarism & Intelligence
Marvel’s nationalist sentiment does not end with Israel. Cloaked in mesmerizing cinematography and flashy special effects, the American company has also been instrumental in promoting U.S. militarism with its comic book universe.
In “Captain America: The First Avenger”, the U.S. army allowed Marvel Studios to film at Camp Edward, a military training site. The 2003 “Hulk” film also benefited from access to military bases and loaned military equipment. “Iron Man” and its sequel created iconic scenes by borrowing the military’s weaponry as well. These Marvel movies — along with “Captain America: Winter Soldier” and “Captain Marvel” — received funding from the U.S. Department of Defense to help build their blockbuster enterprise.
The military’s support, however, came with a price. The Pentagon approved the scripts for “Hulk” and “Iron Man”, cutting out unfavorable references to the military, such as their experimentation on humans and dropping herbicides on South East Asia during the Vietnam War.
With the “Captain America” franchise, the army supported the Marvel movie, seeing it as “building resiliency” and considering the Captain America character to hold the values of a modern U.S. soldier. “Captain Marvel” was the Air Force public relations department’s dream. The film’s release coincided with an Air Force recruitment campaign, using feminism as a way to sugarcoat “Captain Marvel’s” obvious militarism. The recruitment effort clearly worked with the Air Force seeing the highest number of female applicants to the Air Force Academy in five years.
