'hello, i'm chris williamson and you're watching palestine declassified, we're the only weekly tv show that's dedicated to investigating and exposing the israeli regime's global war against solidarity with the illegally occupied people of palestine. in this week's show we'll be shining light on the influence of an ultrasign sect known as khabad. on his website it claims to be, and i quote, the most dynamic force in jewish life today. it's so'. true that this extremist faction will significant influence over israel's genocidal military and it's leading politicians too, as the tv chakra will in explain in this report. in december in bet hanon, in northern gazza, a jewish religious outpost was established in a partially destroyed building. this was described as the first khabar house in gaza. khabard is an ultra orthodox jewish sect. it has many adherents in the genocidal occupation forces.

many of whom wear khabad patches on their uniforms. here is a zianous tank flying the distinctive khabad flag in ghazza. in addition, there are khabad rabbies attached to the occupation forces. one notes that the genocide is actually about rooting out evil. here two habad rabbies erected the jewish religious symbol, the manora in ghazza, but what is khabad? it styles itself as a friendly outgoing movement dedicated to helping. reconnect with judaism. in reality, it is a jewish supremacist sect. in the past it was anti-zionist, but back then, even as far back as 1929, its adherence in al-khalil, of or hebron, as it's called by the zionists, were involved in spying on the palestinians for the hagana terror militia, as well as storing weapons for them. khabad is now so ultrazionist that it called in december for ghazza to be recolonized with jewish. worse

israeli paperits reports its adherence believe as laid out in the tanya. khabad key religious text states that gentiles have only animal souls, not human souls. in january this year, the tenia was printed out by occupation forces in ghaza. this supremacism is carried over into its attitude to the palestinians. followers of the khabad rabbiitzak ginsberg are known as the hilltop. two of his followers wrote the hugely controversial king's torah, which was also recommended by ginsburg. the book states that it is permissible to kill palestinian children, even babies. there is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately and not only during combat with adults. it's not just words. ginsberg's followers in the so-called hilltop. are said by designist

intelligence agency to be responsible for most price tag revenge attacks on in palestinians in the west bank. in 1988, benjamin netanyahu famously met with the leader of khabad in new york where the sect of has its global hq. maintained a relationship with khabad ever since. here he is, of addressing them in 2014. these are the forces supported and aided by the us and the uk, unleashed as part of the genocide in gaza. joining me in the studio as usual is our resident expert david miller. david's an academic and a former professor at bristol university and is now non-resident senior research fellow at the center of islam and global affairs at istanbul zaham university. he's also a c director of the lobby and watch

dog spinwatch and is a leading british scholarly critic of israel. joining us again as our guest contributor today is armar kasmi. armar is an anti-imperialist political activist and a commentator. he previously worked on jeremy corbin's 2016 leadership campaign and was a political advisor in my parliamentary office from 2017 to 2019. welcome to the show. david's report there showed that hab is deeply embedded in the the genocide being conducted by the zionist entity. i mean. strike you was odd for for a group that that used to be anti-zionist? well, this is an anti-zionist group um which was always really pro zionist, it's a curious thing, even although it was formally anti-zionist up until really up until 1967, it was only after 1967 they formally made of their kind of peace with zionism, but back in 1929 in hebron uh they actually stored hagana weapons in the in the bank belonging to one of the hamad followers and they were engaged.

spying on the local palestinians and passing the information over to what the nacent uh mossad you pr to the creation of the state of israel so they've been uh anti-zionists who have been... collaborating with and using zionism in order to further the settlement activities which they uh approved of. yeah, well, i mean this this group calling for the recolonization of gaza, i mean appears to be ultrazionist doesn't it? well, certainly, and david just run through some of the history there, i mean they did formally at one point oppose the creation of the state of israel, but this is a thoroughly ultra zionist sect, i mean uh, they believe uh, i mean the... design is so fanatical that they believe that the current israeli state, yes, has no real authority against them, they oppose any sort of uh peace deals and in the most recent offensive uh on gaza, the genocide has been perpetrated against gaza, they've had the audacity to set up a khabad house in the uh

gaza strip uh in december of last year, so this is a thoroughly uh prozionist organization is deeply uh involved. embedded in not just um supporting it in terms of words and in terms of ideology, but also materially in terms of fundraising and lobbing. well david, i mean obviously you've touched on this already, but i just wonder whether you could um perhaps explain how this group along with you, many other acidic groups, i mean used to be anti-sianists. well, if you listen to natura karta, which is the militant anti-zionist hasitic group. they say routinely if you listen to their their talks, in 1947 the chief rabbi of jerusalem said we should not have a jewish state and that was the position of almost all the historic sects at the time. now what's happened since then is that they've made progressively they made their peace with the cionists in the case of habad for example they have a written agreement with the the

idf that uh that when they join the idf that 25% of the the the guys who join the idea can go off to yashivas for for year maybe in new york or or someone one of the other world. void offices, whereas some of the other groups are still sufficiently antisignist that they refuse to allow their children when they reach 18 to serve in the idf, but never so there's an ongoing process there where the where the idf are trying to encourage them to join, and they have throughout the west bank and the illegal settlements they have these what are known as idf yeshivas where they're allowed to go and do tour study and then they also have to go and kill few palestinians on the weekend, is that kind of arrangement? that and that's that's how it works and that's that's what's compromised almost all the historic sec now there's only one the satmar which is quite a large one which remains formally anti-sianist but it's been a process from really in the 1930s to today of of compromising that anti-sianism and and bringing the the kind of ultrazionism of the

hystic sects into the service of the zionist entity how more the chief of mentioned in the report there about the so-called price tag attacks which are associated with this group on just what is about that william? well, these price tag attacks are essentially revenge attacks against palestinians who are involved or perceived to have been involved a resistance against the zionist regime. we often hear in the west that these are the just these extremist settlers acting sort of their own valition, but actually they act as an extension of the israeli regime as militaus for them. they're essentially completely uh unaccountable, they have total impunity, often they're actually aided and abetted by the idf in the west bank and the... israeli intelligence agency shinbet has said that the vast majority of these people involved in these attacks are linked to um this extremist faction based in the yitsar settlement in particular there's actually kabad linked yeshiva jewish seminary

in that settlement so we see that it's really these individuals are involved in it but of course they're completely supported by uh the israeli regime and david what about this king's taurus justification? for killing palestinian babies, what's that about? well, i mean, when you read this for the first time, you sort of, you think, can this be true, but when you look back at it, their actual main theological tome, the tanya, describes gentiles as being as being having husks for souls and they they're not, they have animal souls, the're not fully human, and of course, it's a small step from deciding that to say, well, actually, in that case you can, you can kill children who are not jewish, and in the case of palestine. is that the key question is, will they grow up to challenge us in the future? of course something which you can't tell about baby, but nevertheless they can tell and they can tell that any palestinian baby is a threat to them in the future and they can be engaged regardless of whether you're trying to kill their parents or not, you can just kill the babies by themselves and this is the depths

the horror of of the the philosophy and the ideas of this sect and of course we see that enacted every day in gaza today and tomorrow and yesterday and that's what's been going on here, this is the... ideological justification for the direct killing and assassination, sometimes we've seen through by israeli snipers, direct shots through the head of children, and that this is the ideological justification, yeah, incredible, well. famar, i mean, netanhou to has been a prominent and very long-term um presence in the zianist power structure. i mean, just say a little will you though, about his connection with the khabad? well, you know, if you look at netanyahu and his sort of family background, it's quite clear that he has very long term connection with sort of, the revision is scientis movement in general, his father was aid to javatinski, um, after javatinsky. he died his father continue to work on the revisionist zionist movement um

a hostage recovery raid in the 1970s netanhu was injured his brother jonathan was killed and afterwards netanyahu set up uh institute called the jonathan um foundation or jonathan institute which uh helps to research you know so-called terrorism and help to sort of give birth in the mid-1980s to the... idea of islamic terrorism right and so in terms of promoting these sorts of ideas and being associated with science extremism and also being associated with hababad, this is something that nahu has been associated with for many, many decades, right? well we'll come back to the discussion in a moment after our second report which looks at the worldwide distribution of habad offices, it's links to literal nazis and it's deplorable fundraising activities. in december, it was revealed that the habad group in the uk was

fundraising to support the genocide in gaza. rabai arya sufrin of habad claimed back in october that hamas is worse than isis in full conformity with zyanis entity talking points. he also disclosed that his son is a british recruit to the occupation forces and was in occupied palestine at the time. the habad appeal read vita. equipment needed by the idf, funds raise will go direct to equipment needed by aron dolf sufrins reserve unit up in the north of israel and support units. aron duf sufren is of course the son of the rabbi, serving actively in the genocidal occupation forces. havad luvovic is an ultra orthodox hasidic sect which also happens to be in genocidal cult. it originates in luubavichi in russia near the border with belarus. it's a global movement with more than 5,000 offices in over 100 countries and

in all 50 states of the us. it even has offices in seemingly unlikely places like china, belarus, tunisia, morocco and venezuela. it has prominent supporters in many places, the new argentinian president is a khabbad devotee. donald trump even donated to khabad, though not as much as his son-in-law, jared kushna, who has played a pivotal role in the normalization of the zionis entity. obviously khabad has been highly organized in ukraine and khabad followers were amongst those recruited in the nazi as of battalion, which we should remember was co-founded by a former member of the israeli occupation forces. palestine declassified previously reported on how ukrainian jewish oligarch igor kolimovski bankroll habad in ukraine as well as the nazi azof and iido italians. back in the uk there more than 100 khabad groups. or offices. it flies under the radar and is widely regarded as well meaning if a little eccentric. in

reality, it is an extremist group which is building support for genocide in the uk. ironically, the community security trust has aided khabat, giving them security advise after addition of palestine declassified, expose some of their activities. the cst has educating about extremism as one of its charitable objectives, but it is unwilling to... educate us about the extremism of havad, there's a very good reason for that. geral ronson, which created and runs the cst, is himself an extremist and has been supporting khabad for more than half a century. here he is in 2013 as guest of honor at one of their events. uk ambassador's award, presented to gerald ronson, cbe, and dame gail ronson for their friendship and support. over four decades, zinis extremists are widely distributed in the uk and form a

mutually supportive network. this is key element of the justification and support for genocide in the uk. i expect a lot of people in this country would be - absolutely shocked that a british habad group is is raising funds for the zeinist occupation forces. mean a british how bad group is doing that, mean that's incredible is it? well, i mean, people i think would be shocked to find out that this uh organization has, roughly around 100 branches across the entirety of the uk, has a thousand branches in the united states. at least one in every single state has, i think about 5,0 branches worldwide. this is incredibly large organization that wields a significant amount of um power in terms of its lobbing capacities, fund raising capacities uh and it's really never spoken about publicly despite the amount of influence that it has and of course it poses as this very innocent uh well-meaning

organization, but then we see that it's raising funds for the israel occupation forces, it's 100% ideologically uh behind the genocide against the people of gaza, as we heard earlier in the program uh, we have statements saying that it's legitimate to kill palestinian babies, i mean i think if people in britain actually understood what this organization was the sort of depth that it has in britain, they'd be deeply, deeply shocked, well it certainly got some reach hasn't it david, i mean in in a hundred countries, but i was pleased to say that i don't believe they've got any base... in in cuba, i mean, is that right? well, i mean, it's interesting, there are bases in in venezuela in revolutionary venezuela, they have branches in beijing and shanghai and other places in in china, many branches in russia too, as you you uh perhaps wouldn't expect in cuba there isn't an official base there, no, but they do have foot hole, they

have a, they have follower there who acts as if they are habad house in havana, but they haven't. normally got an office there, that's because of course the communist party is has not not allowed that, which which is a good thing too, but they have spread over hundred countries, mean it's truly extraordinary, that's that's many more countries than have a formal zyinist presence by the zionist movement itself, which is around about 35 or 40 countries, but nevertheless this is an ultra zionist group spreading ultra zionist messages all around 100 countries, it's a truly extraordinary reach for an organization and it flies so far under the radar that... hardly anyone's even heard of it, well hopefully we've hope to show a bit of light on them, but what you could say uh, a word or two about jared kushnar and and his role in the normalization process, yes, i mean jared krishna, firstly uh someone who is very close to khabad, he's personally donated thousands of dollars to khabad, and uh during the trump

regime he was given the sort of informal role to promote normal. in the gulf, we saw him as a very prominent public figure in the so-called abraham accords in 2020, in which bahrain and the united arab emirates formalized publicly the sort of diplomatic relationship they'd already been secretly having with israel, but formally normalized with israel, and kushwar was very involved in that also morocco and of course as well in terms of lobbying the saudi oligarchy which was... very close to reaching a normalization agreement with israel before the events of the 7th of october last year uh and you know after leaving the white house, i believe a hedgefund associated with him received two billion us dollars from the saudi arabian sovereign wealth funds, so this is someone's been deeply involved in that process and is

closely linked to khabad, well i mean another sort of extraordinary revelation relating to this organization. david um is that um number them apparently signed up to fight in the nazi azof battalion in ukraine, i mean can that really be true? well, i'm afraid it is true chris, i mean the the the the thing that you've got to understand about habad in in ukraine is that the in in the uk and in the us is an official zionist movement and then there's there's harbad and the official zionist movement mainly runs the organized jewish community, in ukraine the organized jewish community is mainly run by habad. "and that's true actually also in in russia, and so what you see is that when kolisky, the the uh the oligar, the ukrainian oligarch, i think we can talk about a bit later, when when he is involved in funding something like hababad, he's also involved in funding as of and and the idar battalions, and what you see then is you saw in the film that there are there are photographs from from zionist

papers of of bad followers joining up to fight the russians, and of course some of these are are joining." up with the the house of battalian incredible, well it is incredible, mean uh, and i wonder what you make of that uh, arm, mean david mentioned there that involved in funding the asov battalion and huge habad community in nipro as well, mean this is amazing isn't it? yes, well mean you know uh kolimoiski uh is of course is fantastically rich oligarch maybe not so more much anymore after. being sanctioned and having some of his funds uh uh taken away from him in london as well, you know, but he's a rich oligarch with you, cypriot israeli citizenship uh and after the 2014 maidon couran ukraine he was given control of the nipro oblass which is very strategically important region in in southeastern uh ukraine and he helped to

develop and create several armed militas and he helped to support as we just heard um you know financially the nazi linked or neonazi you could even say ideologically as off and adider um uh battalions and you as well as that he's also... help to fund khabad extensively, helped to fund uh a khabad um jewish community center which is said to be the largest in the world, this is a deeply nefarious uh figure, deeply corrupt individual, you now he uh is actually wanted by the us justice department, he and his family can't travel there, uh he was actually put in pre- trial detention in ukraine very recently uh on um you know charges of money laundering and fraud so um "this is someone who's used his wealth uh, got it in the various ways potentially and has used it to help support this movement. another interesting funnder david of course is gerald

ronson, isn't it? i mean uh, the guy who runs the the zinist community security trust, which you know is adjacent to uh uh or works with with mossad, i mean this is the organization that claims that antisemitism is is skyrocketing, i mean what do you make of all that? so the the most recent report ' on this skyroching nature of anti-semitism, you of course counts uh people shouting free powerstein is being an indication of antisemitism, shows the the utter bankrupcy their research, but we should also be looking uh much more closely at ronson's uh charitable ventures, which of course have been involved for more than 50 years now in supporting how bad, this extremist group, the cst says in its charitable objectives that it's supposed to educate the public about extremism, but they won't be doing any... indicating at all about habad because they don't regard the extremism of habad as being extremism at all and that indicates that the deep rot at the heart of the cst, an organization which gets some 15 million a

year from the home office, and i think he's also got an extra 3 million top after october the seventh from our dearly departed uh home secretary suala braven, so this is a deeply, deeply corrupt organization, engaged in in in promoting effectively anti-palestinian racism a daily basis. i mean, 'you gerald rodson's involvement is is is is he's really curious to say the least isn't it? i mean uh i mean it's yeah look i mean this is this is the guy he was remember he was uh put in jail for for fraud as part of the guinness fraud scandal and he he in his autobiography he bangs on about radical islam and various islamophobic stuff in his in his book and this is an organization we're supposed to the public is supposed to trust in dealing with anti-semitism yes indeed well'. afraid we are out of time again, so let me thank our guest amar kasmi and of course our resident expert professor david miller. palestiny classified will be about next week with more forensic

investigations and analysis. and in the meantime, please share today's program on your social media platforms to help us continue growing our audience and countering the disinformation that is carried in the corporate media. and remember, you can follow the show on facebook, twitter and telegram where we post regular clips and updates. so until next time, this is chris williamson saying bye for now.

a damming report indicates that deaths from terrorism in africa have skyrocketed more than 10000 percent during the so-called us war on terror. the study by the african center for strategy. studies revealed that during 2002 and 2003 when the us was just beginning its decades long war, total of just nine terrorist attacks were counted throughout all of africa leading to only 23

casuality. but after two decades of us intervention in africa with a purported aim of helping the continent in counter terrorism, that's from takfiri, violence in africa increased to 23,322 last year, reaching a record level of lethal violence. so what exactly are us troops doing in africa if they're not fighting terrorists as they claim? this week on expose the israeli entity assault on rafah was depicted as successful rescue operation, masking its true nature as a direct attack on one of the few remaining safe zones for palestinian civilians in gaza. with in zinist israeli media circles, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been accused of deceat regarding his claims of targeting

hamas. and freeing all hostages, moreover, a staggering 97% of arab respondents reported experiencing psychological distress during the gaza conflict with 92% expressing the belief that the palestinian cause is not solarly a concern for palestinians, but for all arabs. expose, the truth is just a revelation away.

your headlines on press the v freshers really strikes on the gaza strip leave nearly 100 palestinians dead as death toll from the onslaught is fast approaching 30,000. figures show israel has intensified demolition of palestinian homes in the oc fidal goods since the onset of his aggression on the besides caus trip and iron says the us and the uk are escalating tensions and crises in the region by launching strikes on yemen.
