In these terrible times we need to be aware of the war crimes being carried out by the IDF in Gaza. We need to join in the chorus of outrage of the new Nakba in Palestine.

This is being chronicled widely in both media and social media.

We also need to counter the Israeli propaganda machine.

We are also getting the message that Israel is losing the war against Hamas.

However, there is a bigger story to be told that goes beyond the war against the Palestinians in Gaza that is not being told.

One of the sources that I go to to help join the dots is Canadian Prepper who I discovered some months ago. When I post a video from him I get comments that he is a “panic monger”, that he “doesn’t know what he is talking about” or even that he “looks like AI”.

Yet that is not my experience. Speaking from his warehouse of prepping gear and guns he looks like the least likely candidate for a commentator on geopolitics, I admit. I have learned much from listening to him and gleaning headlines that I might not get from anywhere else.

The one thing Canadian Prepper does do is try to join the dots and show the connections between different conflicts around the World as best as he can. That does not mean he is correct but I regard his as one of many voices that should be listened to. His oft-expressed opinion that this is all leading to disaster is one that I agree with – if not today then tomorrow.

My main criteria is not whether a person is saying what I want to hear but whether that person is speaking the truth and is worthy of being listened to because they can further ur understanding.

This is not what the vast majority of people are interested.

I offer you the last offerings from Canadian Prepper from last night.

He brought my attention to a headline that I have not seen quoted anywhere else.

Hamas’s Political Chief in Egypt to discuss situation in Gaza

Hamas’ political leader arrived in Cairo, on Thursday, at the head of a delegation for talks with Egypt’s Intelligence Chief on the current situation in the Gaza Strip as it continues to face intense Israeli attacks, Anadolu Agency reports.

The delegation, led by Ismail Haniyeh, “met with Gen. Abbas Kamel, the chief of the General Egyptian Intelligence Service, and discussed the situation in the Gaza Strip,” said a statement by the Palestinian Resistance group.

Khaled Meshaal, who heads Hamas’s Diaspora office, and Khalil Al-Hayya, a member of its political bureau, are also in the delegation, according to the statement.

The visit marks Ismail Haniyah’s first visit to Egypt since the outbreak of the Israeli war against the Gaza Strip on 7 October.

According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, more than 10,000 civilians have been killed, including over 4,000 children, since 7 October, when the conflict began, following a cross-border attack by Hamas that killed over 1,400 people in Israel.
