Ziofascist Israel’s 2023 to 2025 Genocide of Palestinians, Part 38: December 12, 2024 to January 12, 2025 — Israel’s Christmas and New Year Massacres, Plus Greater Israel in Syria After the Fall of Assad
A documentation of Ziofascist Israel’s 2023 to 2025 genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians from December 12, 2024 to January 12, 2025, plus some reporting about Greater Ziofascist Israel in Syria.
This will be the final part of my chronological reporting about the still ongoing 2023 to 2025 Ziofascist Israeli genocide of Palestinians aka ‘the final solution of the Palestinian question.’ I will discontinue this chronology of genocide series since the Ziofascist Israeli genocide and intent to commit it have been confirmed beyond the shadow of any doubt, since the ‘civilized’ but de facto barbarian West remains generally unmoved by these greatest possible crimes, since there is still backlog to deal with, or since I would like to switch from reactive to more proactive and preventative measures.

CNN Syria propaganda:
3 days later, the CNN propaganda hoax collapsed:
On December 12, CNN published a video report on its website, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter) titled, “CNN Reporter Documents a Shocking Moment of Finding a Prisoner Held in a Secret Syrian Jail, Unaware of Assad’s Overthrow.” In the footage, CNN’s correspondent Clarissa Ward is seen accompanied by an armed individual as they open a cell in a Damascus prison. The report features a man named “Adel Gharbal” from Homs, who claims he was arrested three months earlier for having his phone searched and was taken to Damascus, initially held in an unnamed prison before being transferred to the location shown in the video. According to the report, this transfer occurred three days after the fall of Assad’s regime.
The man, hidden under a blanket despite the gunshots used to break his cell lock, claimed he had not seen sunlight for three months. However, his reaction to the light did not match such a claim — he did not flinch or blink even when gazing up at the sky, seemingly overjoyed at his newfound “freedom.”
Despite the purported harsh treatment of detainees in secret prisons, Gharbal appeared clean, well-groomed, and physically healthy, with no visible injuries or signs of torture — an incongruous portrayal of someone allegedly held in solitary confinement in the dark for 90 days.

Five Palestinians in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and the United States are suing the US government to try to cut off American assistance to the Israeli military over its involvement in serious human rights abuses.
The lawsuit, announced on Tuesday, accuses the Department of State of failing to implement a federal law that prohibits the transfer of funds to foreign military units engaged in gross violations such as extrajudicial killings and torture.
“The State Department’s calculated failure to apply the Leahy Law is particularly shocking in the face of the unprecedented escalation of Israeli [gross violations of human rights] since the Gaza War erupted on October 7, 2023,” the lawsuit reads.
Israel’s bombardment and ground operations in Gaza have killed more than 45,000 Palestinians since early October 2023, and the United Nations and the world’s leading rights groups have accused the Israeli military of carrying out war crimes, including genocide.
The lead plaintiff in the case, a Gaza teacher referred to by the pseudonym Amal Gaza, has been forcibly displaced seven times since the war began and 20 of her family members have been killed in Israeli attacks.
“My suffering and the unimaginable loss my family has endured would be significantly lessened if the US stopped providing military assistance to Israeli units committing gross violations of human rights,” she said in a statement accompanying the lawsuit.
Leahy Law
The case centres around what’s known as the Leahy Law, a federal regulation that bars the US government from providing funds to foreign military units when there is “credible information” implicating them in gross violations of human rights.
Those violations include torture, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and rape, the US State Department says in a factsheet explaining the law.
“We’re asking the government to obey the law,” Raed Jarrar, advocacy director at DAWN, a US nonprofit that campaigns for democracy and human rights in the Arab world and is supporting the plaintiffs in the case, told Al Jazeera.
For months, lawyers and human rights advocates have urged President Joe Biden’s administration to restrict assistance to the Israeli military amid multiple reports of violations against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Rights groups have documented Israel’s use of US-made weapons in several deadly attacks in Gaza, including indiscriminate strikes that killed dozens of Palestinian civilians.
Palestinians in the West Bank have also experienced a surge in deadly Israeli military and settler violence since the Gaza war began with the UN’s humanitarian office reporting that 770 Palestinians were killed there from October 7, 2023, to the end of November 2024.
The US provides Israel with at least $3.8bn in military assistance annually, and researchers at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, recently estimated that the Biden administration provided an additional $17.9bn since the start of the Gaza war.
Observers said that if the US were to cut off that assistance, Israel would not be able to continue with its war effort.
“The violations committed by Israel are so widespread — very severe — that most if not all Israel’s [army] units will actually be deemed ineligible for US military assistance” if the Leahy Law were applied, Jarrar said.
“If the US were to stop sending weapons, there is no way for Israel to continue its military operations,” he added.
Special procedures for Israel
But efforts to pressure Washington to apply the Leahy Law to Israel have largely failed.
This year, the Biden administration considered cutting off assistance to an Israeli army unit notorious for its use of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank as well as its involvement in the death of an elderly Palestinian American.
However, the State Department ultimately determined that the Netzah Yehuda Battalion could continue to receive American military aid after it said allegations of abuse had been “effectively remediated”.
The Leahy Law includes an exception that allows the US to resume assistance if the secretary of state determines — and reports to Congress — that the foreign government has taken “effective steps to bring the responsible members of the security forces unit to justice”.

We identified five groups of soldiers based on personality traits. 1. A small Callous group was composed of ruthless soldiers, some of whom confessed to violence before the draft. These soldiers committed most of the severe atrocities. The power they received in the army was intoxicating: “It’s like a drug … you feel like you are the law, you make the rules. As if from the moment you leave the place called Israel and enter the Gaza Strip, you are God.” They viewed brutality as an expression of strength and masculinity.
“I have no problem with women. One threw a slipper at me, so I gave her a kick here (pointing to the groin), broke all this here. She can’t have children today.”
“X shot an Arab four times in the back and got away with a self-defense claim. Four bullets in the back from a distance of ten meters … cold-blooded murder. We did things like that every day.”
“An Arab just walked down the street, about 25 years old, didn’t throw a stone, nothing. Bang, a bullet in the stomach. Shot him in the stomach, and he was dying on the sidewalk, and we drove away indifferently.”
These soldiers were remorseless and did not report moral injury. Some of them were convicted by military courts. They felt bitter and betrayed.
2. A small, ideologically violent group supported the brutality without taking part. They believed in Jewish supremacy and were derogatory toward Arabs. Moral injuries were not reported in this group.
3. A small incorruptible group opposed the influence of the callous and ideological groups on the company’s culture. Initially intimidated by brutal commanders, they later took a moral stand and went on to report the atrocities to the division commander. Following discharge, most of them viewed their service as meaningful and strengthening. However, one whistle blower was severely harassed and ostracized, and it was necessary to move him to another unit. He was traumatized, depressed and left the country following discharge.
4. A large group of followers consisted of soldiers with no prior inclination to violence. Their behavior was most influenced by junior officers’ modeling and the company’s norms. Some followers who committed atrocities reported moral injuries: “I felt like, like, like a Nazi … it looked exactly like we were actually the Nazis and they were the Jews.”
5. The restrained was a large group of inner-directed soldiers who maintained military standards and did not commit atrocities. They responded to Palestinian violence and life-threatening situations in balanced and legally justified ways. They did not report moral injuries.
In each of the companies, an internal culture developed that was largely shaped by junior commanders and charismatic soldiers. Initially, the norms instigated atrocities.
“A new commander came to us. We went out with him on the first patrol at six in the morning. He stops. There’s not a soul in the streets, just a little 4-year-old boy playing in the sand in his yard. The commander suddenly starts running, grabs the boy, and breaks his arm at the elbow and his leg here. Stepped on his stomach three times and left. We all stood there with our mouths open. Looking at him in shock … I asked the commander: “What’s your story?” He told me: These kids need to be killed from the day they are born. When a commander does that, it becomes legit.”
Lee Mordechai, an Israeli historian, has been collecting, categorizing, and regularly updating the data. The data include reports by reputable institutions such as the United Nations, reporting by mainstream media outlets, and images, and videos uploaded to social media.
There is documentation of shooting of civilians waving white flags, abuse of individual captives and corpses, burning houses without legal approval, vengeful destruction of property, and looting. Additionally, Mordechai finds that “a miniscule number of investigations” have been opened “compared to the evidence for committed crimes.”
My examination of the data indicated a similar grouping of soldiers with some significant differences. Most notably, the Callous and Ideologically Violent groups appear to be larger, more extreme and to act out their ideology in defiance of IDF’s standards and the weakened justice system.
The eulogies at Shuvael Ben-Natan’s funeral, a reservist who was killed in Lebanon, illustrate this shift. One speaker referred to Ben-Natan’s killing of a 40-year-old Palestinian who was harvesting olives with his children in the West Bank. Members of his military unit recounted how he boosted morale in Gaza by setting a home on fire without approval. They professed their commitment to continue with arson and revenge in Gaza, Lebanon and Samaria (the West Bank).
As the corrupting influence of the Callous and Ideologically Violent soldiers increases, the Incorruptible are marginalized. Max Kresh, a reserve fighter, declared his opposition to participating in crimes against humanity like “flattening Gaza.” The result was severe social ostracism: “They kicked me out of my team. They made it clear they didn’t want me.” He returned from reserve duty feeling “mentally crushed.” […]

Three separate reports published this month by leading international human rights and medical groups have detailed the same horrifying story: that Israel is well advanced in its genocide of the Palestinian population in Gaza.
Or, to be more accurate, they have confirmed what was already patently clear: that, for the past 14 months, Israel has been slaughtering tens of thousands of Palestinians with indiscriminate munitions, while at the same time gradually starving the survivors to death and denying them access to medical care.
Genocides can happen with gas chambers. Or with machetes. Or they can be carried out with 2,000lb bombs and aid blockades. Genocides rarely look the same. But they are all designed to arrive at the same endpoint: the elimination of a people.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) agree that Israel is striving for extermination. It has not hidden its intent, and that intent is confirmed by its actions on the ground.
Only the wilfully blind, which includes western politicians and their media, are still in denial. But worse than denial, they continue to actively collude in this, the ultimate crime against humanity, by supplying Israel with the weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover it needs for the extermination.
