 In Gaza, One Man Is Searching for the Remains of His Family With a Flour Sifter

“If I was able to reach my wife and children in this primitive way, there are many others in Gaza who are searching for the same thing. Just provide the means.”

 GAZA CITY—For 200 days, Abu Ismail Hammad has been digging beneath his home in Gaza City, painstakingly collecting the remains of his wife and unborn child. He has been using a flour sifter to find their bone fragments hidden in the sand.

His entire family was killed just under two months into Israel’s genocidal assault, when an airstrike hit their home in the Sabra neighborhood on December 6, 2023. His five children—Ismail, Mohammed, Ghaith, Jana, and Joudi—aged between eight to 16 years old, were all killed, along with his wife, Naama Alaa Al-Din Hammad. Naama was nine months pregnant with their sixth child, a girl they were planning to name Haifa, after her martyred aunt. His brother, sister-in-law and all of their children were also killed.

Hammad had left the apartment to go upstairs to another floor just 15 minutes before the strike. He was badly injured in the attack. Hammad was the sole survivor.

Wounded and displaced, and with the war raging, it took him a year before he was able to return, at the end of 2024, to begin trying to recover their bodies. After a few weeks, he was forced to stop again as Israel’s assault in the area intensified again. In November, soon after the so-called ceasefire went into effect, Hammad returned once more to find them..................

More than 2,000 Britons served in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) during the Gaza genocide, it can be revealed.

The information was obtained by Declassified via a Freedom of Information request issued to the IDF by lawyer Elad Man from the NGO Hatzlacha.

The data outlines the number of people with dual and multiple nationalities who were IDF service members as of March 2025.

It shows how 1,686 British-Israelis and a further 383 people with British, Israeli, and another nationality served in the IDF amid the annihilation of Gaza.

They were among over 50,000 IDF soldiers with Israeli and at least one other nationality. ..............

Norway's ex-diplomat seen as key cog in Epstein affair

Oslo (AFP) – Norway's former high-profile diplomat Terje Rod-Larsen helped Jeffrey Epstein weave his web of dignitaries, acting as a go-between for the convicted sex offender in exchange for rewards, media has reported.

 

Along with his wife Mona Juul, another diplomat now caught up in the turmoil following the latest release of millions of documents from the investigation relating to Epstein, Rod-Larsen rose to fame as one of the architects of the secret Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that led to the Oslo Accords in the 1990s.

A sociologist by training, he held various roles at the United Nations: assistant secretary-general, special coordinator in the Occupied Territories, then special envoy for the Middle East.

The now 78-year-old Norwegian ended his career at the International Peace Institute (IPI).

It was in the 2010s, while heading the New York-based think tank, that he developed what appears to have been a close relationship with Epstein, who had already been convicted in 2008 for soliciting a minor...........

Robert Kadlec: The Man Behind Trump’s Biowarfare Policy

Robert Kadlec, a veteran of biowarfare with longstanding connections to the National Security State and corrupt government contractors as well as controversial Covid-19 policies, has now become the head of counterproliferation policy at the Department of War.

Early February of last year, President Donald Trump quietly nominated a long-time government operative to be the new Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Deterrence, Chemical, and Biological Defense Policy and Programs — Robert Kadlec. Kadlec is arguably difficult to notice; he has an unremarkable combover, wears wiry rectangular glasses, and his thin lips stretch beneath his anchor-nose, all of which culminate into a straight face that reveals as little emotion as his flat, monotone speech does. Yet Kadlec’s unassuming style has not held his career back; in fact, it has likely aided him in becoming one of the most effective players in the halls of Washington, specifically within the secretive world of biosecurity and biological warfare.

Kadlec most recently served at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as its Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in the first Trump administration, where he played a crucial role in developing early Covid-19 response policies as well as conducting global pandemic simulations the year before the Covid-19 crisis, in 2019. These policies were sharply criticized by the man who is now head of HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Amid the silence from Kennedy and most other Covid-era critics regarding Kadlec, the seasoned government operative was finally confirmed for his Pentagon post by the Senate in December.

His one-time critics aside, hardly any mainstream news outlets covered Kadlec’s nomination or confirmation despite his new role bearing significant importance. This is despite not only his hand in early Covid policies, but his role in a simulation that eerily preceded, and seemingly predicted, the 2001 Anthrax attacks, which figures very close to Kadlec likely orchestrated in an effort to bio-terrorize the American public into supporting military adventurism abroad.

Since his time in college, Kadlec has been intertwined with the American military. He received a bachelor’s in science from the US Air Force Academy in 1979, and then graduated with a M.D. from the Uniformed Services University of Health Science — a federal government college meant to prepare students for medical service in the military. Kadlec went on to do exactly this, spending the next 26 years working as an Air Force physician..............
