First published on October 7, 2023 at the outset of Israel’s act of genocide against Palestine. Revised in April 2024.
There is an ongoing propaganda campaign which categorically denies the existence of a false flag, the objective of which is to justify the genocide against the People of Palestine.
The evidence is overwhelming.

Introduction
Was It a False Flag?
Military operations are invariably planned well in advance. Was “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm” a “surprise attack”? Or was it “a False Flag”?
In the words of Philip Giraldi:
“As a former intelligence officer, I find it impossible to believe that Israel did not have multiple informants inside Gaza as well as electronic listening devices all along the border wall which would have picked up movements of groups and vehicles.
In other words, the whole thing might be a tissue of lies as is often the case.”
A Tissue of Lies
“A Tissue of Lies” has served to justify the killing in the Gaza Strip of more than 35,000 civilians, of which 70% are women and children coupled with total destruction and an endless string of atrocities.
The cat is out of the bag. Netanyahu has tacitly acknowledged that it was “A False Flag” which was intent upon justifying a carefully planned genocidal attack against Palestine:
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” he [Netanyahu] told a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” (Haaretz, October 9, 2023, emphasis added)
Does this candid statement not suggest that Netanyahu and his military-intelligence apparatus are responsible for the killings of innocent Israeli civilians?
On that same day of October 7, 2023 Netanyahu launched a carefully planned military operation against the Gaza Strip entitled “State of Readiness For War”.
Military operations are invariably planned well in advance.
Had “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm” been a “surprise attack” as parroted by the media, Netanyahu’s “State of Readiness For War” could not have been carried out (at short notice) on that same day, namely October 7, 2023.
South Africa’s Legal Procedure against the State of Israel
On January 11, 2024, the Republic of South Africa presented to The Hague World Court, a carefully formulated legal procedure against the State of Israel predicated on The Genocide Convention.
This legal procedure, however, has not contributed to repealing the ongoing genocide and saving the lives of tens of thousands of civilians.
I should mention that the False Flag issue —which constitutes a crime against humanity— was casually ignored by the ICJ.
Our suggestion is that an investigation followed by a legal procedure pertaining to the “False Flag” should be undertaken.
The heads of State and heads of government who have endorsed Israel’s Genocidal Acts are from a legal standpoint complicit.
The ICJ Judgement was contradictory. The Presiding Judge (former legal advisor to Hillary Clinton) was in conflict of interest:
The ICJ Judgment of January 26, 2024 assigns the Netanyahu government representing the State of Israel –accused by the Republic of South Africa of genocide against the People of Palestine– with a mandate to “take all measures within its power” to “prevent and punish” those responsible for having committed “Genocidal Acts”. (under Article IV of the Genocide Convention)
Sounds contradictory? What the ICJ judgment intimates –from a twisted legal standpoint– is that Netanyahu’s Cabinet which was “appointed” to implement the “prevent and punish” mandate cannot be accused ofhaving committed “Genocidal Acts”.
