Philadelphi Corridor: Gaza war sticking point that could wreck entire peace process

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken confidently announced Monday that the ball was in Hamas’s court in peace negotiations after Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed to a US-backed hostages-for-ceasefire “bridging proposal.”

Hamas slammed Netanyahu’s decision to tack new conditions onto the proposed peace deal, and demanded a return to a draft agreement based on a June resolution of the UN Security Council.

The Philadelphi Corridor, a 14-km long, 100 meter-wide fortified border between Gaza and Egypt, is at the heart of the dispute. Hamas has decried Tel Aviv’s demand for permanent control of the Corridor, plus the Rafah crossing and the Netzarim Junction, citing the demands as evidence that Netanyahu seeks to undermine mediators’ efforts and prolong the conflict. Blinken has expressed Washington’s support for Tel Aviv’s position on the Corridor, an Israeli official has told media.

Control of the Philadelphi Corridor has been a long-term strategic aim for Israel, which wants to build a massive new wall there, ostensibly to deter Hamas weapons smuggling efforts. Hamas’s allies see the effort as yet another attempt by Israel to “blockade” and “strangle” Gaza.

Egypt has consistently rejected Israeli control of the border zone, warning that it undermines the foundations of the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace deal. A high-level source has told Egyptian media that Cairo will stick to its demands for a “full Israeli withdrawal” from the Philadelphi Corridor and the Rafah border crossing.

Israeli peace negotiators returned from Egypt emptyhanded Monday as sources told Israeli media Netanyahu is “unwilling to compromise on his position.” Israel reportedly plans to try again sometime this week by sending the heads of the Mossad, Shin Bet and the IDF’s hostage team to Egypt. Blinken arrived in Egypt for more talks on Tuesday, flying to Qatar later in the day.

this now happens REGULARLY... only to ZWN channel. selectively... for more then a week now.
the Rumble algorithm no longer includes ZWN videos in it's 'tag search'... for example, if I search the world 'Russia' it used to 'find/display' ZWN videos.
It no longer does this. I'm on some kind of bad boy list now... definitely 'content related' to Israel/Gaza.
The account is now hobbled.... not sure what i want to do at this point...

I was thinking about necessity for a back-up last couple of weeks. And I would also like @KneelB4Zod to share with us his opinions about it. Also, anyone else is more than welcome to enter the discussion. the more, the merrier

As you know, GLP has at least 2 domain names and there were (I am not certain about now) accesses from TOR network (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network).

I think it would be advisable to have independent back up of forum (and videos, pictures, etc... ) on some other server and mirroring of all content to back up server. Also, it is not certain that we would find quite bay to lie low in russia or china part of the web.

i do not think you were tripping. I did notice some out of the ordinary occurrences on the forum in the last couple of weeks. Nothing particular to put a finger on, but there were similar out of the ordinary occurrences at other places before things changed (let us say it like that).

This is the reason I did not want to start the subject, but after your post things clicked into place (to say it like that). I am purposely vague in description. We probably have some time (not much) but we are definitely on the radar.

There are some mistakes in the text.
-In 1814-15 during the Congress of Vienna UK urged all European powers to outlaw slave trade. Some years ago UK had outlawed it unilaterally already. UK enforced this by searching all ships on the ocean for slaves. Of course the reason was not, that UK was so humanitarian a country to save the slaves, but the independence of US in 1776 and the recognition of US as an independent country by the powers during the Congress of Vienna had disrupted the Triangle Trade and UK had to find a replacement for that.
-UK tried to use Indian cotton to replace American cotton, but the Indian cotton did not have the same quality and UK could not compete with the plantations in US. Non-the-less, UK supported the CSA at the beginning of the war. During the war it was possible to smuggle some high-quality cotton plants from the Southern States to Egypt. This changed the situation for UK completely, because they could now produce high-quality cotton in their own sphere of influence, and they switched allegiance and supported the Union.
-Bismarck left his office in 1890. The Bagdadbahn (Berlin-Baghdad Railway) was started in 1903. Bismarck had no connection to it.

Of course, UK was a sea-power. Railways are typical transport systems for continental powers. US had the choice at its beginning to become a continental or sea power. Since the Spanish war in 1899 US is clearly a sea power. The railroad is just connecting both coasts. What I don't know is, who was representing these two principles at the beginning. Jefferson? Washington?

A British diplomat has resigned from his post after accusing the UK government of complicity in war crimes.
Mark Smith, an expert in arms licensing and sales, stepped down, stating that he could no longer work for a ministry he believes is complicit in "undeniable" war crimes.


In his resignation message to the Foreign Office and his colleagues, Smith accused Israel of committing war crimes, saying, "I am a policy expert on arms sales. Every day, we witness clear and undeniable examples of war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza committed by Israel. Senior members of the Israeli government and military openly express their intent to commit genocide. Israeli soldiers are videotaped deliberately burning, destroying, and looting civilian property, and they openly admit to raping and torturing captives.

There is no justification for the continuation of British arms sales to Israel, yet it continues. I have raised this issue at every level of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and even initiated an inquiry to expose this phenomenon, but have received nothing but “thank you, we have noted your concerns.”

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. Defense of Ukraine - official site of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense; they, the representatives of the 3rd Assault Brigade, have attached a slightly modified symbol of the Dirlewanger brigade. In case anyone doesn't know who Dirlewanger was: a completely insane Nazi, sadist and pedophile. In 1934 he was imprisoned for pedophilia. When he was released, he was immediately sent to a concentration camp for rape. He was allowed to join the army and lead a unit of prisoners. They were sent to the Lublin ghetto, where, in addition to rapes, murders were committed, and the corpses were fed to stray dogs. The SS commander in Poland, Krueger, could no longer tolerate his presence and transferred him to the east, to Belarus. Among the material sent to Krueger was evidence that Dirlewanger had personally eaten a corpse on the street. Himmler realized that the methods of the brigade were medieval. In Belarus, the brigade killed Jews and residents of partisan areas. They were subordinated to Schutzmann units, which destroyed Khatyn and 200 other Belarusian villages and burned the inhabitants alive.
