      Tahrir Square in Baghdad, Iraq, march for Palestine

      Deepest condolences to Amarynth. The passing of a spouse is considered the most distressful occurrence in an adult’s life.

      The people of neighboring countries, in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Tunisia, etc…… are extremely distressed and protest in huge waves in their cities. Being lit into incandescence is a hate and will for retribution against Zionism and the West which will last centuries. Certain events are worse than crimes — they are fatal mistakes.

      💠 @Sputnik Africa: ❗️Latest updates on Israeli-Palestinian conflict:
      🔺 The death toll in Gaza has risen to more than 1,500 people; in Israel – to around 1,500;
      🔺 A total of 423,378 people have been forced to flee their homes in the Gaza Strip since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict escalated, according to OCHA;
      🔺 The Israeli Army called on civilians of Gaza City to evacuate southwards “for their own safety”;
      🔺 The UN urged Israel to rescind the order as it considered it “impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences”.

      💠 @MedManTG:
      ⚡️🇵🇸 The Palestinian Red Crescent reports that they have no ability to evacuate the sick and wounded from their hospitals, and that there is no safe place in the Gaza Strip.
      ⚡🇵🇸 Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman, Abu Ubaida: I say to the occupation that immigration does not exist in our dictionary except for our occupied cities we will be back.

      💠 @Strategika51:
      ⚡🇯🇴 Jordan: the kingdom’s security forces are severely repressing demonstrators’ attempts to access the border with Israel.
      ⚡️🇯🇴 Jordan: demonstrators shout open the borders! and come up against hesitant elements of the police. The major Jordanian tribes are rearming and saying they are ready to go and rescue Gaza even if it is necessary to fight against the Jordanian army first…
      ⚡🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates: The position of the Emirates in the conflict in Palestine has surprised most observers. In addition to their long-standing bitter hostility against the Palestinian armed factions, Emirati leaders have tried to show emotion by fully showing solidarity with the Israeli regime.
      ⚡A squadron of US A-10 Thunderbolt II ground attack aircraft assigned to Al-Dhafra Base in the United Arab Emirates from Arizona. Their mission is to defend Israel from any further attacks.


      Iran’s Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian met with the Hezbollah Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

      ⚡🇱🇧 Lebanon: The Iranian Foreign Minister met in Beirut with representatives of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, the Amal movement, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
      ⚡🇪🇬 Egypt: military reinforcements are on their way to the border with Gaza to prevent any possible influx of Palestinian refugees from Gaza. The Egyptian government is trying to mollify its public opinion, which is heated by what is happening in Gaza, but the Rafah terminal, shelled several times by Israeli heavy artillery, remains closed.
      ⚡️Intel: Gaza invasion plan will be special and will not include any possible risk to Israeli ground forces. Everything will be leveled to ground level beforehand and no Israeli soldiers will be sent as long as there is a single threat. The movement of civilian populations from Gaza to the South will facilitate the total leveling of urban localities in the north of the Gaza Strip. Once everything is razed to the ground, the underground spaces that Palestinian Hamas fighters use will be flooded by sea waters and gassed with VX or a more powerful neurotoxic chemical vector. For Israeli military planners, the heavy work will be done by heavy artillery and aircraft. They will not take any risk of endangering the lives of soldiers in such an environment.
      Furthermore, the same planners hope that the demographic pressure of refugees piling up on the border with Egypt could break the Egyptian barrier and allow the populations of Gaza to enter the Sinai Peninsula.
      ⚡️Gazans begin to flee the north of the strip and head south.

      ⚡️According to correspondents from several international TV channels, there is no longer a single sign of life in Israel. People are hiding in bunkers and businesses are closed.

      💠 @Intel Slava Z:
      ⚡The Israeli army has admitted that the evacuation of Palestinians from the northern part of the Gaza Strip may last longer than 24 hours, The Times of Israel reports, citing IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari. “We understand that the evacuation will take several days,” Hagari said. “We’re trying to take the time, we’re putting in a lot of effort, and we know it’s going to be longer than 24 hours,” he added.
      Palestinian President Abbas, at a meeting with US Secretary of State Blinken, expressed complete rejection of attempts to transfer the population of the Gaza Strip – WAFA agency
      ⚡During Israeli strikes on Gaza, 447 children were killed, and more and more victims are killed every hour, the UN Children’s Fund reported.


      💠 @Arab_Africa:
      ⚡🇪🇬 Egypt began transferring military equipment to the border with the Gaza Strip to prevent mass movements of Palestinians into the country. The photo shows convoys with weapons in the El-Arish area, heading towards the border town of Rafah. The convoys transport dozens of trucks with military personnel, ammunition and several tanks. At the same time, large numbers of Bedouins from the Sinai Desert in Egypt are moving towards the border. Tribal activists recorded a video (the last one) calling for an open border and preparations to support the Palestinians in their opposition to Israel.
      ⚡Egyptian activists are calling for a boycott of McDonald’s restaurants in Egypt. The reason is that McDonald’s provides free food to hundreds of IDF soldiers. Previously, 4,000 meals have already been sent to Israeli soldiers. The same amount, according to the network’s promises, will be provided daily.

      💠 @DDGeopolitics:
      ⚡🇵🇸 The UN agency in the Middle East has moved its operational headquarters in the Gaza Strip to the south of the enclave
      ⚡The Jordanian army fires tear gas at the crowds heading towards the border with occupied Palestine to protect the occupation borders.
      ⚡The Jordanian King: We reject the transfer of the crisis in Gaza to neighboring countries and the exacerbation of the refugee issue.

      VX? OMG… the normalization of genocide on TV. VX

      The claim follow the logical principle that having used P (ld50 50 mg, iirc) they’re go on and use VX… however this begs question, Sears does not sell VX… and synthesis is nontrivial. The wiki, ordinarily not bad in chemistry, includes falsehoods and omissions.

      Searching terms such as “VX + Israel” – very interesting what does not come up.

      Gaza Oct 13

      💠 @Sputnik Africa: ❗️Latest updates on Israeli-Palestinian conflict:
      ⚡️Hamas urges Gazans to ignore Israeli calls to move south. “We call on our citizens not to give in to these attempts, which are a part of psychological war. We would like to underline that all employees of these organizations are still in their places,” Salama Marouf, head of the Hamas government media office wrote on social media. The Israeli Army continues to try to disrupt the domestic front with false information, he said, adding that “calling on the staff of international organizations to move south” is one of those tries. Earlier, the Israeli Army called on civilians of Gaza City to evacuate southwards “for their own safety”.

      💠 @MedManTG:
      ⚡️🇵🇸 Body parts are now arriving at Al-Shifa Hospital. After the occupation gave families a warning, and told them to get out of their homes and go to the south, while they were going and arriving at the Gaza Bridge, they were bombed. Do not move, do not emigrate, and do not listen to the occupation, stay in your houses.🙏🏻 [the deceit and depravity is total, like Ukies arranging a ceasefire on the Donbas front, then shelling Russians when they come to take out their wounded… imho most may not move. Have seen many testimonies of those preparing their wills online..]  

      💠 @Strategika51:
      ⚡️Chinese Foreign Minister: “the injustice suffered by the Palestinians is the main cause of this conflict”
      ⚡️It’s hot! The Israeli military high command declares the West Bank a locked military zone. A second front has been lit! [the Zionists may be starting another pogrom and ethnic cleansing pushing those Palestinians towards Jordan. If true, and coordinated with Gaza Op, this will topple compradore arab states…]

      💠 @Slavyangrad:
      British mercenaries who trained the Ukrainian military are leaving for Israel to take part in the fighting against Hamas.
      ⚡Part of the border wall on the Lebanese-Israeli border was blown up
      Hundreds of American Vietnam-era Mk84 bombs at one of the Israeli Air Force bases. The most powerful high-explosive fragmentation bombs of the Mark series, these products have a warhead mass of almost 430 kg and are equipped with a JDAM planning and correction module.
      ⚡Drone footage of the aftermath of the Israeli bombing of Gaza.
      ⚡The delivery of military cargo continues. The heavy American military transport aircraft C-17A arrived in Israel.
      ⚡️Hezbollah, on the other hand, has made an official statement:
      “In the name of Allah,
      In response to Israeli attacks this afternoon on the outskirts of a number of towns in southern Lebanon, Islamic Resistance fighters attacked the following Israeli targets: Al-Abad, Misquam, Ramiyah and Jal Al-Abad, Jal Al-Alam, with direct fire and appropriate weaponry, they achieved accurate hits. Victory belongs only to Allah, the Almighty and the Wise.”

      Thus, this is the first confirmation that the Hezis have fought the IDF “on the ground” in small arms combat. Prior to this, there were only videos of mortar fire and PTRK use. Note: Round 2. IDF and helbollah. Last round was very unpleasant for the IDF
      ⚡️The Croatian President said he does not sympathize with Israel over the air force’s bombing of Gaza. The President called the decision of the Croatian Foreign Ministry to hang the Israeli flag near the building as a sign of solidarity with the country “an idiotic step.”
      “With all my sympathy for Israel, which, unfortunately, they lost in 15 minutes… there is no place for other flags in Croatia, except in strictly regulated situations,” the president said. “I condemned the killings of Hamas, I even expressed disgust and disgust, but the right to defense does not include the right to take revenge and kill civilians,” he added.


      ⚡️Washington Post: The tonnage of bombs that the US dropped on Afghanistan in a year was dropped by Israel on the Gaza Strip in six days. [actually the 6000 released in four days exceeded most years..]
      ⚡️[Turk] Military expert Abdullah Agar on what Israel’s ground operation will face: [If there will be a ground operation, what kind?] Of course, every conflict has its own spirit and character. In that sense, we will see a unique struggle. Is there a conflict as large in the world, with as large a population and high demographic concentration? No, there isn’t. It could be a ground operation against 2.3 million people in an area of about 363 square kilometers. And this is where Hamas has a very large preparation. As we know from previously released documents, they have 500 miles of tunnels. In previous operations, Israel has captured and destroyed them. But as soon as the area came under Hamas control, they somehow rebuilt and improved the tunnels. Judging by the quality of the tunnels previously taken by the Israelis, they are about 40 meters deep so that they are not affected by air power.
      Note: oh Vietnam, your spirit smells here


      “Soviet propaganda back on the cutting edge of the current agenda
      [translation of top:] “Stop! Made in the U.S.A.”
      [translation of hand holding bomb:] “Israel”

      My deepest condolences to amarynth. I realize that those are just words, but may strength on your path come from God.

       

      I am flabbergasted day by day by the developments in Israel, and also by the west reacting on it. Emotions are running high, and the west is getting carried away so easily, that without getting full grip on it yet, I have an uneasy feeling that the west is stepping into an enormous trap. A trap that also may have a short fuse into a possible outcome that nobody really should want.

       

      Stay safe, Rob

      Soviet and Marxist generally in phase one were perspicacious and accurate as to criticism…and alas not so good at figuring out best way, happily they evolved…and despite disclaimers I see Russia now as Soviet, 2.0, with natural improvements.

      Meantime Comrade ZZZZ Zhitomirsky sees right through the little fella from Missouritruman hitler fascist fink

      In USA, they say, there is ardent disagreement ‘tween the cryptofasciszios and the rational, with plenty of passion… ripe for RF and FF… college campus no longer Faber College…

      I am thinking that King that cannot control army is about to introduce new king… for some reason I think the crowds ultimately rule the ruler.

      Israel brutally bombs Palestinian civilians as media spreads fake stories:
      https://youtu.be/E50gE7YwDKI?si=sNneqId7-HN-dOap
      Israel is indiscriminately bombing civilians in Gaza, after imposing a “complete siege” on 2.3 million Palestinians, cutting off electricity, water, food, and fuel. Meanwhile, the Western media has spread false stories that were quickly debunked.

      https://ejmagnier.com/2023/10/11/the-axis-of-resistance-involvement-in-the-gaza-conflict-beyond-mere-threats/
      “The Axis of Resistance has yet to decide whether to engage fully in the war and open all fronts. Such a decision will depend on the evolving situation and Israel’s actions towards Gaza. However, the strategy seems clear: maintain pressure on several shows to ensure Israel remains stretched and on high alert. This tactic is aimed at exhausting the Israeli military, preventing it from focusing solely on Gaza and keeping it in a perpetual state of insecurity. The multi-front strategy underlines the complex geopolitical dynamics at play and the intricate game of chess being played by regional powers.

      The Middle East is on the brink, with the potential for broader conflict looming large. The “Axis of Resistance” is determined to challenge Israel’s military might, taking advantage of what it perceives as Israel’s moment of vulnerability. The belief is that, despite its show of force, Israel will struggle to counter organisations such as Hezbollah even with the backing of the US and its naval fleet.
      Recent Israeli actions suggest a nation preparing for a major confrontation. By launching attacks on several fronts – Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and even the Egyptian Rafah crossing – Israel aims to project strength and readiness. But beneath the surface, there’s a growing sense of desperation.
      In contrast, the Palestinian fighters in Gaza continue to resist despite enduring a crippling 17-year blockade. Their resilience is emblematic of a population that has taken decades of hardship and is now rising against long-standing injustices.
      As the world watches with bated breath, there is hope for a solution that prioritises human life and paves the way for a lasting peace. However, the complex dynamics suggest that achieving such a solution will require more than just military strategies; it will require diplomatic finesse, mutual understanding and a genuine commitment to peace from all parties involved, which Israel rejected before the Gaza war.”

      The temptation by Netanyahu to arrange a false flag attack on the Americans is too great if and when he sees the conflict not going his way.
      Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ‘Nut-en-Yahu’ is banking all he has on a single bet: that the U.S. will go the full nine yards in his madcap idea of a regional war between Israel and Iran’s proxies in the region.
      Secondly, the temptation by Netanyahu to arrange a false flag attack on the Americans is too great if and when he sees the conflict not going his way.

      There is a lot of propaganda out there, so be careful. This is a deeply emotive issue, behind which is the full force of not just global zionism, but global finance, technocrats, and supranationals. Israel is their aircraft carrier undergirding the petrodollar and it will be supported, come what may.

      For example, the MI6 agent Crooke is popularizing that this is about “defending Al Aqsa Mosque” and that this, and largely this alone, is the source of the explosion. This is risible. At best it was a convenient trigger. A cartoonish depiction of arabs as mindless fanatics, without self-regard and who treat their own lives as cheap. And in “retaliation” can be treated as cheap. Designed to push well-developed buttons amongst most who are ignorant of the deeper picture. Putin and the Chinese are honest: this is about oppression and dispossession of their land and unending privation and indignities. 

      When Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso asked all Africans to take up the fight against Imperialism and poverty, in front of Putin he said, “a slave who cannot assume his own revolt does not deserve to be pitied. We do not feel sorry for ourselves, we do not ask anyone to feel sorry for us.” This can be said of Palestinians too.

      Focusing on Al Aqsa Mosque is a way to bring Islam to the fore, which then triggers anti-Islam antipathy common in most global viewers, conditioned to hate Islam over the last half century due to Hollywood, and the criminal behavior of the Salafi cousin of Zionism. Like Hamas = terrorist is repeated ad nauseam, leading to subliminally painting all Palestinians = terrorists and therefor genocide is a valid response by Israel.

      I am sad to see Crooke pushing this meme, but given his background, and allegiances, not surprising at all. The head of the Beast, one or two steps ahead of most humans, has always been Perfide Albion. They are most expert in dividing their sea of enemies based on a prearranged basis or hook, generation after generation.

      The reality is that this is little or NOT about Al Aqsa. It has been said a drop of blood of a single human is more dear than the Kaaba in Makkah, the holiest mosque. Other scholars said ALL human life, there are clear evidence in the Quran. So where is Al Aqsa?!! Rather, Al Aqsa is a political weapon the desperate Palestinians use to draw in stronger Arabs and Muslims worldwide into their struggle. A way to shame the cowards and hypocrites of the GCC into action and support. They will wait another century for those desert bedouins to acquire sense. But fortunately other responsible actors surround them now.

      And most Palestinians aren’t even part of Hamas, even within Gaza, which has all religions and political views (including Palestinian jews, christians, communists, etc..). I’ve known many Palestinians – some of the most honorable, intelligent people I’ve had privilege to know; most were secular or deeply socialist. And being at crossroads of continents and the prime real estate on earth, they have represented among them all human tribes. A true astonishing variety, from sub-Saharan African blacks to blondes with blue eyes (Germanic, Nordic and Caucasian tribes who migrated over last two-three thousand years). It is after all the Holy Land calling out to all.

      So at essence, Hamas in Gaza, as elsewhere for all the beautiful variety of Palestinians, is a national liberation effort. Different factions use different tools and approaches. Know the game of the enemy.

      PS — Grieved, thx so much for “salam farmande!” It has succored a lot

      dear amarynth, words mean so little,
      but know that your loved one, though
      out of reach, continues to be and exist;

      in two instances when loved ones,
      compelled by circumstances to move on,
      appeared to me in due course and were –
      to all intents and purposes, alive, well and happy

      I know with the deepest conviction,
      that love survives physical death; I am sure
      your loved one will send you confirmation
      when he is ready…

      in the meantime,
      our love and thoughts
      are with you, do take care of yourself
      and know that even though the inevitable
      awaits us all;

      Soul is older and mightier than time
      and the awful gulf of space,
      and most importantly of all, there is nothing
      in life but love, and death is simply
      a doorway to greater love!

        there is nothing in life but love,
        and that love resides within us;
        death simply takes everything else away
        until nothing stands between us
        and that love

        waking up into the realisation
        of Divine Love, the banality of evil
        disappears like a puddle
        in the noon-day sun

      Hamas targets

      💠 Pressure on Erdogan.. The creativity of the devils is astonishing. They attacked Turkey and UAE, ostensibly for violating the G7 price cap, but in actuality serves to freeze them from engaging or entering into the Palestinian fray… Even “the civilizational ultimatum by the EU” is part of this: choose us and the new satanic era, rather than your old ottoman sultan dreams or Islam.. how demented they are. Erdogan will be torn apart by the Turks if he abandons the Palestinians.

      💠 @Intel Slava Z:
      British publication “The Spectator” calls for the genocide of Palestinians. In a recently published piece, the writer states: “The Israelis will respond as they see fit – it isn’t for non-Israelis to give them advice. Maybe Israel will cut off Gaza and starve Hamas out. Maybe they will have a full-scale military operation to rescue the Israeli captives. Or maybe they will finally put an end to this insoluble nightmare, raze Hamas to the ground, or clear all the Palestinians from that benighted strip. A strip which Egypt owned but nobody wants.

      It could be a good time to do it. Very few countries in the Middle East still pretend to care about the Palestinians. Few ever did. If the Jordanians cared, they’d have taken in all the Palestinians from the West Bank when they lost the last war. The same goes for the Egyptians. Why should the Palestinians forever be Israel’s problem?” 📝: Remember all the lectures the British gave about Ukraine? Here’s what their political class really thinks.

      @PalestineResist:
      ⚡ Palestinian “President” Mahmoud Abbas has reportedly given instructions to the top-tier officials of the comprador PA government, the foreign minister, the Central Committee of Fatah, and the executive committee of the PLO to not make statements about the events of Gaza.

      Abbas directed the senior members of the Central Committee of the Fatah movement not to call for popular marches in support of the people of Gaza and not to participate in them. Despite these ridiculous orders, a few Fatah members are speaking out, urging to heighten the agitation and mobilize for their homeland. The anti-liberation Palestinian “Authority” is no friend to the Palestinian people.

        I forgot to mention the hotel shelled by a US tank in Baghdad around 2003 was at the precise high-level floor reserved to the pool of reporters.. quickly turning around the needed environment. Lessons learned from Vietnam, and implemented ever since. The savaging coming to Iraq was so dramatic, unlike already war-torn Afghanistan, as they were one of most developed in Asia at one point, with a strong industrial socialist base, even building nuclear power plants.. they were leveled to same shocking degree as in Libya.  Can’t have sympathetic or conscientious witnesses to such crimes…

      friday the 13th 2023.  empire announces it intends to bomb gaza to micro dust, it has been decreed israel is entitled, owed an oven baked genocide & to cover the interest owing it will cleanse its new eden’s tunnels with a biblical flood to drown any surviving palestinian.   every woman, child or male attempting to escape it will bomb @ the exits.  exodus is always fraught.  this with the blessings of all vassals & subjects.  palestinians are not human, despite dna they are neither semitic nor human.

      mbz welcomes empire to use its bases in defence of  israel.   mbz sat in the front row of the saint petersburg’s forum.  he’s been working with china on several development projects.  i am more than confused.  but i guess once a viper always a viper.

      dear ahh, you are so right, thank you for all you bring & with it sage counsel.  yes, the fog is thick & we must proceed with caution.  i was surprised to learn alistair was/is mi6.   unlike american retired agents, he never presented it as a calling card, brit self effacement no doubt.

      dear amarynth, you are in my thoughts, my prayers.🙏🏿🕊️

      i was told by an oncologist when my beloved departed, ‘each death is unique, no death is like any other & i’ve seen thousands.’

      grief too is unique, yet another fingerprint, this upon our soul.  for it is a voyage through our soul to our beloved & through our beloved to God.

      my beloved is closer now than before.  but when he departed i couldn’t feel him.  we had been so in tune with each other to know what the other was doing, thinking, dreaming, where they were without words or a glance. we had assumed that would never be broken, not even in death but that it would always be connected & intact.

      when i explained to a healer that i couldn’t see or feel him,  she told me, matter of factly, ‘he’s there, you just aren’t picking up on it.  you’re too caught up in yourself.’

      i left the session angry.   @ the first crosswalk i stopped for a trunk turning, old & beat up & completely unfamiliar but welcoming in the way of old slippers or some forgotten towns.  the driver was a very pretty very young woman, absolutely happy.  she had glida hair & a gilda smile.  she rolled her window all the way down & shouted across to me, ‘hello there!  is your name emerson?’

      i simply nodded, shocked for all sorts of reasons.

      gilda leaned out of her window & handed me a bouquet of 2 dozen mercedes roses.  ‘then here—these are for you.’

      i continued to stand there.  she leaned further out the window–‘i don’t know why but i suddenly had a compulsion to buy them & give them to a woman named emerson.  i thought it might be hard to find you but it was dead simple.’  & she laughed & drove away.

      my beloved departed always gave me flowers on friday.  & yes it was a friday.  & on a very special friday, he brought 2 doz mercedes roses almost as perfect as those.

      after that he has never been anywhere but with me, closer than we ever were.

      blessings, dear amarynth.

        Thanks for sharing your heartfelt story, emersonreturn.

        I wanted to comment briefly on this; ‘he’s there, you just aren’t picking up on it. you’re too caught up in yourself.’

        This smacks of a lack of empathy from someone who’s supposed to demonstrate sensitivity acc. to their station, but I would like to add that our loved ones, knowing us better then anyone else, pick and choose the right time to make their love, presence and whatever else they wish to communicate to us known at a time of their choosing, this usually being when the wave of heightened emotion recedes to some extent.

        What I learnt, and continue to learn from my experience, is that, even though they are on the other side, they remain aware of events/occurances out here, but generally appear to have a more detached view while maintaining their end of the exchange of love, even though the nature of the love must transform to some extent.

        The wonderful thing is that the bond of love between Souls continues throughout time (since the nature of that love, if true, has its origin in a “nameless, placeless place” to quote Rumi), which implies that we will indeed meet again in another context when the “time is again ripe”.

        Thx for your posts here, and I would like to also tip my hat to our friend, ‘ahh’, for keeping this ship afloat and moving. The man is a wonder.

      My deepest condolences for the ordeal experienced and the loss of a loved one. A prayer goes without saying. That the gravity of the situation was that great and the outcome so close.. when the time is right, I hope you’ll share exactly how this came to be.

      Please get well. I’ll rework the words you once told me: the 1st responsibility (health and safety) is for yourself and surviving loved ones. More prayers for you tonight.

      please be patient, Amarynth remains quite weak, was in hospital for most of last three weeks. She is still on oxygen, drifting in and out. May have been an attack on her family… she is a potent thinker and administrator, having also run the Saker website for much of 2022 while he was away, and has the expected usual suspect enemies… God willing, soon we will know more from her directly.

      Yes emerson. They are not even considered untermenschen by some…

      What is going on is a vile psyop on all mankind. It is dawning on even those reflexively conditioned to hate muslims and arabs and brown people and other untermenschen the intolerable nature of the massive crime in motion. A shocking painful gesture of contempt and inflicted with deliberation. IMHO this is malice designed to deject and cause despair in most of humanity who are enraged at all this. Africa, China, most India (non-elite), 2B muslims, most Russians and CIS and 400M Orthodox, most decent commoners in West.. the distress reaches to the highest heaven. None feel safe from such would do this to the innocent and helpless. Today Palestinians, tomorrow any in their way. A spiritual separation is occurring worldwide…

      We need to pray more in these days. Take time to get sun, exercise, eat healthy small meals, sleep more if needed. Otherwise this will destroy our health and harm our souls. And we need to be patient. The enemies are pulling out all the stops. It is open Fascism on all. The capable civilizational-states are in the process of responding. Unfortunately their consultations and measured and legal ways take time. So we need to protect ourselves individually in the meantime, especially if living in the West or western vassal territories…

      The strange reoccuring theme of the combined US-Russian Navy

      💠 @MedManTG:
      ⚡️Russian flagship, Peter the Great on the cover of the 248th birthday of the United States Navy. This isn’t the first time it has happened either.
      The USN is organised around carriers. Why don’t they just use those as the background?
      [I showed a few similar images in last years too. How much is this predictive programming, keeping in mind the destruction and return to settle in Russia has always been the goal, per Vladimir Zhirinovsky, maps of a dismembered Russia, etc..? Only Africa matches Russia in terms of minerals, resources, fertile land mass, water, etc.. The agony of their loss of the mighty Russian domains! This informs rabid Russophobia, in addition of their refusal to be conquered]

      ⚡️🇵🇸 The current situation in Gaza

      Since last Sunday, over 6000 tonnes of explosives have been dropped on the strip, which is an extremely densely populated area. As a result, we have seen more than 2000 martyrs from these attacks, 60% of them being women and children, according to some estimates.

      Approximately 20% of the population, which is around 400.000 people, have become displaced and no longer have homes to return to. At the moment, hospitals are in dire need of medical supplies, but the Israeli government refuses the passing of medicine and medical equipment to Gaza, whether through Israel or Egypt, and has even threatened to bomb the Egyptian convoys.

      Lastly, there is no more electricity, and no more clean water available to Gaza residents. In combination with severe malnutrition, this can lead to viruses and other epidemics spreading. This can lead to a catastrophe. And besides all this, Israel will most likely cut off [what remains of] the internet starting tomorrow. If Israel does all of this in the open, imagine what they do in the dark, when the internet is out and there is total media silence. [their plan B appears to be to cull them in toto, if Palestinians refuse to leave and their neighbors refuse to accept them…]

      Erdogan says Israel must allow humanitarian aid via Egypt

      Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that Israel needed to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip through Egypt’s Rafah crossing after the first plane carrying Turkish aid arrived in Egypt. In a speech in Istanbul, Erdogan said that Turkey will continue sending aid to Gaza in cooperation with Egypt and that Turkish authorities were continuing contacts to free hostages and find a solution to the crisis. [this entire episode delegitimizes the authority and pretensions of the Sultan.

We expected to face days of fighting but the headquarters of the division fell so quickly that our fighters were disconcerted.” [they scored the biggest victory in first few hours, unexpectedly, catching the key intel and mil leadership oppressing Gaza. They wiped them out, including many generals… what good luck. NOT part of the design of any false flag, if any existed at all]
      Most Russian oligarchs have Israeli passports. Those fleeing Israel and returning to Russia will face legal action.

      ⚡️Israeli elites wonder why the two million Palestinians living in Gaza would not be accepted in Western Europe as were millions of Syrians and Iraqis. This solution is increasingly mentioned in the media and even at the highest level. “Send them to Europe!” seems to be the only solution found at the moment. [as can be seen in these last two: the plan is move them AT ALL COSTS, if Egypt cannot be forced. But the Palestinians are stubborn like no other. They will remain on the land of their ancestors, dead or alive. And the consequences will be on the zionists. What they will reap! Bible “stories” are not mere stories. Entire civilizations were wiped out for lesser crimes. Who owns this world, that they suicidally challenge?? Judgments are due]

      The Berlin Crises of ’48 looms vague in mind… they say the Gaza population is about the same size. What it took to supply by air and that stuff is impressive, mostly 2/3 ? coal for boilers. (they kept the lights on) Recalling that C ’48 led to the “a daggers drawn” crises of 1961. Recalling that at that time westzone and eastzone were led by men who knew about it…they stood in the ruins… now, however, westzone is… well, evidently determined to make provocation by exterminating millions. Westzone is delusional.

      Magnier thread

      ⚡️A deal concluded with #Egypt, #Qatar, #Israel and the Palestinians leadership in #Gaza to allow all foreign nationals to leave Gaza in exchange for the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged city
      ⚡️Moreover, all countries are evacuating their nationals from #Israel via Ben Gurion Tel Aviv before the ground assault on #Gaza, which is undoubtedly confirmed. Many nations fear a giant war in the Middle East and potentially spill over to other countries.
      ⚡️UN said at least 700 children were killed by #Israel bombing on #Gaza. In Israel’s doctrine, these children could one day join #Hamas, therefore, it is legitimate to kill them now.
      ⚡️In the West Bank, #Israel killed 54 Palestinians and wounded 1100 in just a few days. In #Gaza, 2300 were killed, and 8900 have been wounded, mainly civilians, without counting those under the debris. Israel cut off its water, power, food and internet and sealed Gaza. [remember many settlers were armed last weekend for vigilantism. There appears an ongoing pogrom of Palestinians every where] 

      💠 Magnier on pitfalls for Israel and why hesitates to invade:
      ⚡️Israel is aware that it will face 30-40,000 Palestinian fighters in #Gaza, ready to inflict the heaviest casualties on the Israeli Army, which proves how easy it is to be defeated. 11 Israeli barracks were annihilated in a few hours. This is why Israel is using its Air Force.
      ⚡️I have seen the traps in al-Qalamoun area, #Syria, when #Hezbollah broke into the city & how snipers & traps were exceptionally well prepared to counter the attacking force. Hamas has a long experience in fighting in a destroyed city, #Gaza. It will be #Israel’s largest cemetery.
      ⚡️That means #Israel needs to flatten the assault designated area because its soldiers are too afraid to fight on the ground without the total destruction of buildings and civilians’ homes. They are obviously inexperienced.

      Magnier on why Gazans refuse to leave:
      Anyone saying Hamas prevents the Palestinians from leaving for the South they are idiot and lying:
      1. Israel bombed the convoy leaving the north to the south
      2. No infrastructure to host 1.3 million living in the north
      3. No water and electricity in the North and the South
      4. No medical facilities to accommodate an additional 1.3 million in the south
      5. #Israel bombed the North & the South. What is the difference between making it on the Israeli army to break into the North easier than expected?
      6. Palestinians don’t trust #Israel to return home.
      #Israel asked the people of #Gaza to leave the north, the less large area, so it could invade the smallest part of Gaza to satisfy the settlers. Most of those who left have returned after seeing their convoy bombed by Israel.

      Magnier ( https://nitter.net/ejmalrai ) reminds us of vital [partial] history that led up to this moment between Gazans and their occupation, and why all trust is gone:
      ⚡️Look at my timeline and see the massacre history of #Israel in #Gaza and in many other cities not quoted today. Why would any Palestinian trust #Israel?
      ⚡️#Israel 1953 Khan Younis Massacre in #Gaza:
      Palestinian sources reported that at least 500 Palestinians were massacred in Khan Younis while the UN documented the number of Palestinians killed on that day as 275, which it described as “credible”. Palestinian residents in Rafah were killed after the loudspeakers of the occupation military vehicles called on all youths and men from the age of 16 ,o the age of 50 to leave their homes, the soldiers firing at them with automatic weapons. [note similarity to today’s trickery! (1) They call for evacuation, then (2) bomb the convoys. They are cowards who do not want to invade and lose men in city fights, going house by house.. easier to kill humans in open. They want attrition of humans at any cost – culling in situ, while fleeing, or driven off land to another country]
      ⚡️In 2009 #Israel massacre in Gaza: Operation “Cast Lead”: 22 days of death & destruction. 1391 Palestinians killed: 759 civilians, 344 children, 110 women. 13 Israelis killed, out of which 10 are soldiers. Israel also admits to using ‘White Phosphorus’.
      ⚡️ In 2014, #Israel Commit Massacres in the #Gaza Strip – 506 Killed including 131 Children and 64 Wo… reliefweb.int/report/occupie… via @reliefweb
      ⚡️ Operation ‘Protective Edge’ July 8, 2014 – August 27, 2014. #Israel killed 2251 people in #Gaza, of which More than 1600 civilian Palestinian deaths (including more than 500 children) and more than 11,231 Palestinians were wounded, including 3,436 children and 3,540 women.
      ⚡️ #Israel’s May 2021 war on #Gaza was its fourth on the besieged Strip since the imposed complete blockade in 2007, creating a humanitarian disaster. More than 253 people were killed, inc 66 children and 35 women, after 11 days of indiscriminate attacks

      the horror is ongoing, relentless, and designed to eradicate one way or another. They have seen the locals as non-human from day one.. No other humans worldwide demonstrate this lack of moral compass, and for as long, generation after generation.

      A senior Russian diplomat, Nikolai Kobrinets, was found dead in a hotel in Turkey.
      Russian media and official statements have already said that Kobrinets died of a heart attack, but Turkish police have launched an investigation into the death of the high-ranking diplomat.

      There were no signs of violence, so he probably died as a result of a heart attack, as already announced in the obituary published by the Russian Foreign Ministry. However, Turkish law enforcement officials are checking other, much less natural causes of the high-ranking diplomat’s death.

      What could be the Israeli ground operation in the Gaza Strip: analysis of the Military Chronicle. Part 2 :

      The difficulties that the Israeli army may encounter in the future may leave their mark on the conduct of a ground operation.
      A significant portion of IDF soldiers and reservists have not been trained to fight in an urban environment, or this training is no longer sufficient. For example, under normal conditions, IDF soldiers expect their flanks to be covered, a secure rear, and stable communications with command and neighboring units. However, in urban battles such conditions will not exist. In the case of the IDF, units prepared for operations in urban areas can be found in the YAMAM police special forces and other anti-terrorism groups, but for the most part the IDF is poorly prepared for a full-scale war in the city.

      It is necessary to prepare for battles in such conditions, both individually and collectively. The Israeli army does not have such massive training, and there was nowhere for it to appear since operations of this scale had not been planned for many years.

      What are the features of battles in an urban environment?
      Urban combat is three and even four-dimensional. Every soldier must expect that an attack will come not only from the front, rear or flanks, but also from above or below. In addition, by indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip, the IDF created (or at least aggravated) another problem – it increased the motivation of the local population for armed struggle. While in Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan, the armies had to deal with neutral rather than hostile populations in the theater of operations, in Gaza the vast majority of the population is radically opposed to Israel. This, in turn, means that there will be no safe zones for the IDF, and Hamas will have eyes, ears and fighters everywhere.

      How will the terrain affect the battles?
      If a ground operation were to begin, the IDF would have to operate in dense residential areas, which would significantly limit maneuver. But the destroyed city complicates it even more.

      In such conditions, it will no longer be possible to bring a mechanized brigade into the destroyed street, since it will have nowhere to turn around. This means that the main combat operations will have to be carried out by assault groups – sometimes with the support of armored vehicles, sometimes with the support of aviation or artillery. But the advantages of the mass of equipment, the advantages of high-precision weapons and the advantages of air surveillance in this case will be practically reduced to nothing.

      Hamas, on the contrary, has a developed network of communications on the ground and underground in Gaza. Given that the movement’s members operate on their own territory, as well as the knowledge of communications and the support of the population, Hamas will be able to maneuver its forces relatively easily and strike where they are not expected.

      In addition, Hamas strikes on Israel have shown that small drones, suicide bombers, a variety of anti-tank weapons, and mines/IEDs can quickly be included in an attack pattern. Even physically clearing a sector of all living things does not guarantee its safety: enemy groups can, for example, reach the rear through underground communications or disappear among civilians and carry out a series of terrorist attacks.

      It is important to understand that Hamas has significant reserves of fuel, weapons, food, medicine and ammunition. They will suffer the least from the bombing, which means that Israeli actions, if not useless, then have minimal impact on the enemy.

      The first cases of drones being used on Israeli patrols indicate several important things. This suggests that the IDF has not yet bothered to deploy effective electronic warfare systems. A significant part of the suppressors on Israeli equipment were designed to protect against radio-controlled explosive devices, but Hamas practically does not use them, and all destruction of military equipment and vehicles was carried out either by anti-tank systems or in the air using quadcopters and drones.

      At the same time, the Palestinians are clearly relying on the use of drones not only for strikes, but also for adjusting fire: along with kamikaze drones, the activity of aircraft-type UAVs is recorded, from which Hamas operators receive real-time images and data on the activity of Israeli troops. The very fact of the widespread use of drones by Palestinians suggests that the IDF does not take this threat seriously.

      In addition, Hamas is gradually moving towards widespread tactics of mixed strikes and the use of long-range rockets (150 km or more). So far, these threats have been partially countered by Israeli air defense forces, but as attacks scale up, the IDF may have difficulty repelling them.

      Forwarded from Older than Edda :
      Analyzing the development of the Israeli armed forces, one cannot help but ignore the interesting organization of their tank units and formations. They are made “pure” – Israeli tank battalions and brigades do not have their own infantry and artillery, and, if necessary, mechanized units are assigned (or are assigned to them).

      Where does this lead? To put it simply, Israel has had problems with infantry escorting tanks for a long time and for a long time, and in 1982 a number of problems arose because of this, and in 2006, and now they also arise. Without infantry nearby, any tank is vulnerable, no matter if it was the BT in 1939, the T-34 in 1941, the Patton or Centurion in 1973 or 1982, or the Merkava now.

      As a result, when the hour comes, it turns out that the interaction of tanks and infantry in combined arms combat has been worked out… well, somehow worked out. And even greater problems arise in this regard with artillery, close and continuous interaction with which has become the alpha and omega of modern warfare, without which success is unthinkable.
      And this ground operation in Gaza, in general, has not yet begun.

      Forwarded from Colonelcassad :
      Israeli media report that preparations for the ground invasion of Gaza are almost complete and the offensive will begin tonight.

      https://en.mehrnews.com/news/207114/Israeli-killing-machine-have-to-be-stopped-Raeisi
      Iranian president stressed that Muslim countries and free nations in the world must take a “decisive and immediate” action to stop the Israeli “killing machine,” against the defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza Strip.
      The Iranian president also raised the alarm about plots by Israel and its allies to carry out a massacre in Gaza and force the Palestinians to evacuate the city as the Tel Aviv regime continues to cut off water and electricity and prevents the entry of medicine and food.

      Russian UN Ambassador Nebenzya

      💠The Middle East is on the verge of a full-scale war, said Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya. “Let me be clear, the responsibility for the looming war in the Middle East rests largely with the United States,” he said.

      💠old friend Aleks at Black Mountain Analysis! What a joy to read. He is apparently a scholar of General Soleimani’s Quds Forces…

      the Quds Forces. It is an elite formation within the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. And its purpose and organization are exactly this:  the liberation of the Palestinian people, when the time comes. To be more precise, the liberation of Jerusalem. Quds means literally “Jerusalem”.

      Well, let’s come back to the Quds Forces. They are organized in several sections. There are publicly known special forces. And there are also covertly organized, let’s say undercover-acting, agents in the tens of thousands, all across the Arab world and Israel. Their purpose is to organize and prepare an all-out war of the axis of resistance against Israel, in what is essentially most of the Muslim world around Israel. We can think of them as thousands of active agents, preparing, organizing, and coordinating militias and governments around Israel for the final blow. And we can think of thousands of sleeper cells, only waiting for a prepared sign that would make them execute a predefined and pre-communicated sequence of actions.

      Actions with one single purpose. Bringing an end to Israel.

      Well. When events started in Israel recently, I woke up and saw the news and pictures. Especially, the night sights of the Israeli barracks, where all the soldiers were killed while sleeping. The deactivation of Israel’s Southern Military Control, the Iron Dome etc. It was clear to me; the Quds Forces have just been activated with the final purpose.

      Guys, this is pretty serious and heavy shit. I mean… I’m deeply shocked. This is definitely a historical event, essentially as Russia’s SMO progresses to conclusion, and at the start of the decolonialization of Africa. The Wars of Liberation are in full swing.

      Okay, what does that all mean? First, I have no evidence for the Quds theory, but since I have spent a lot of time studying it during the Syria campaign, I can be sure of my point of view. Which doesn’t mean of course, that I could be wrong! The date of the start of the war is also interesting. The Yom-Kippur War started at the same date. It is a message.

      What just happened against Israel means only one thing. Israel will mobilize everything [including NATO] and destroy Gaza. It remains to be seen whether it will be occupied or simply leveled with other means, but it will be destroyed. Whoever started the current operation did a perfect planning job. And this means, it was clear to him that Gaza will be destroyed. In fact, it was part of the plan. A sacrifice.

      The destruction and/or occupation of Gaza is unacceptable for the Arab neighbors. My friends… We can expect the region to be blown up pretty soon.”

      Yep. Little Hamas is all on its own, lol… Is Russia the only one who knows to get a blow in when a fight’s inevitable. This is an Op being run by faction(s) of Iranian deep state.. and given expected escalation, it has to include other factions of Russian and Chinese deep states……

      Note the breath taking decapitation of entire brigade leadership and SOFs of Israelis in first hours I had mentioned and noted by Hamas too..

      Perhaps the screaming of “Iran is behind it” by enraged combined West was warranted? Sometimes a liar tells the truth! And explains the absolute medieval savagery on display atm?? And the need to hold the criminal arab compradore regimes before a fait accompli, of having to come to the defense of Gaza?? This op is as much against the regional western stooges, who are the ones undergirding Occupation and slavery of not only Palestinians, but all mankind via the Petrodollar and the whitewashing of zionist crimes in West Asia. The Prophet Muhammad warned 1500 years that the Age of Satan would arise via the desert bedouins of the eastern arabian peninsula — the current GCC. This may also inform the rage of the worst of the lot, the UAE, of openly coming to the defense of Zionism. They are the sharpest tools in the regional kit, understanding the fate of their elites is linked with Zionism. They made their bed

      So my dears, be patient. There will be many losses in coming days. The price the scum will pay is eradication of their Cancer. All suffering has an end. Zionism (1897) and “Judeo-Christian” western assault on mankind has an end. Keep that in mind.

      On Saturday, Hamas bombarded Tel Aviv, with huge explosions being heard in the Israeli city, As Al-Jazeera reported.
      “We bombarded Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv as well as Ashkelon, Sderot, and Zikim with a missile attack,” Hamas said in a statement.
      The developments are going on as the Palestinian Resistance launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Saturday morning, October 7, in response to Israeli crimes against the Palestinian nation.
      So far, at least 1,500 Israelis have been killed; the regime has cut off water and electricity in Gaza and destroyed the non-military facilities of the city including some hospitals, mosques, and residential houses.

      The Israeli regime’s attacks on the Gaza Strip have left 2,200 Palestinian people martyred, including women and children.

      Forwarded from Alexander Dugin’s Telegram channel :

      Let us try to describe one of the possible scenarios of further escalation in the Middle East.
      The Palestinian uprising begins in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Mahmoud Abbas cannot contain the situation, and seeing Israel carrying out a full-blown genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinians launch an all-out revolt. The IDF continues to massacre civilians in the Gaza Strip. There are growing protests around the world against Western pro-American liberal elites standing unanimously in favor of Israel. Hezbollah gets involved and crowds of Arabs from Jordan break through the cordons at the border. The U.S. launches preemptive strikes against Iran, which is increasingly involved in the conflict, and Iran strikes back against Israel. Syria enters the war, attacking the Golan Heights. There is a rapid mobilization of the entire Islamic world.
      Pro-American Islamic states – Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar etc. – are being forced to join the confrontation on the side of the Palestinians. They are joined by Pakistan, Turkey and Indonesia. The story of the Taliban sending troops to the Middle East from fake news becomes reality. The black banners of Khorassan are hoisted over the world.
      Problems between Salafists and traditionalists, including Shiites, fade into the background. The great jihad of the Islamic world against the West and Israel is beginning.
      Russia takes first a neutral position, but does not rush to support Israel, as it is at war in Ukraine with the West, which in turn is completely on Israel’s side.
      At some point in the uprising in East Jerusalem, Palestinians proclaim the need to cordon off the Al-Aqsa Mosque for protection from the IDF. Al-Aqsa Mosque was mentionned in the beginning of the uprising in the Gaza Strip — Al-Aqsa Flood. Israel, in the course of fighting armed Palestinian militias and in self-defense, launches a rocket attack on the mosque. It collapses. The path to building the Third Temple is cleared. But… a billion Muslims, of whom 50 million (officially) are in Europe, start an uprising now in the West itself. Civil war erupts in Europe. Some Europeans are on the side of LGBT, Soros and Atlanticist elites, and some make an alliance with Muslims (on the model of Alain Soral) and join the anti-liberal Revolution.
      The US uses tactical nuclear weapons against Iran. Russia launches a tactical nuclear strike against Ukraine, which seeks to cling to the West at any cost and provokes Moscow in every possible way.
      World War III erupts with the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Russia finally makes up its mind and sides with the Muslims. American dispensationalists realize that the hour has come. Russia is attacking — albeit indirectly — Israel. Gog is here. In the Russian vision, the West is under direct rule of Antichrist. Many world leaders die, new one with far more radical beliefs appear.
      China attacks Taiwan, distracting the U.S. and NATO to a new target. India refrains from the direct support the US is counting on. The evening of history ceases to be languid.
      Feminists, gay activists and environmentalists demand an end to it all, but no one listens to them.
      The West is forced to fight against everyone in the name of some goal it can no longer articulate – all the old theses about “human rights”, “civil society” and other incantations have disappeared in the harsh reality of the coming total death. Elon Musk admits that he has completely stopped understanding what is happening.
      Israel is beginning, under blows from all sides, to build the Third Temple. Only Moshiach can save the situation…
      This is where the text of the predictive analysis (prophecy) abruptly ends.

        Dugin, off his meds, is confabulating! So many unlikely scenarios
        – Palestinians cannot “cordon off the Al-Aqsa Mosque.” with what, how?! Rather, it will be demolished after all natives have been purged, a process underway atm.
        – there are 2 not 1B Muslims, and highly unlikely to start a civil war in Europe over anything, except under provocations (being attacked by nazis like Palestinians, which may be coming actually). “no one will listen to them” like “the feminists, gay activists and environmentalists.” Europe is a police state which will keep them bottled up to most degrees. And if it cannot, it will create bigger no-go zones, bottle them up, and starve them in darkness. Very sad days ahead to all non-Caucasians in westzone. I’ve told my relatives to get the hell out but no one listens.
        – Tactical nukes will not help US in Iran. Look at its geography! I discussed it before on earlier Salon. It is a FORTRESS nation, surrounded by mountains, deserts and seas, and within a fierce warrior people. Nigh impregnable, with among best air defenses in world. And how many empires broke their teeth trying to invade it? The only sure way to take Iran down is internal implosion like Russia, and that is not happening. Perhaps strategic nukes?? Also when the Antichrist appears in human form, he may come out of Iran as a Jew — supposedly Isfahan?? Jews have huge pilgrimages to that disturbing city. So even this in ways protects Iran from total nuking.
        – No need for Russia to nuke a done 404. It is mop up duty time….

        He is spot on in two regards:
        (1) “In the Russian vision, the West is under direct rule of Antichrist.” At this point, it’s so obvious, it is like saying water is wet and pigs squeel in delight, lol
        (2) “Only Moshiach can save the situation…” All the human and non-human devils are consolidated under a single banner. This issue is above existing secular ruling paradigms..

      In light of the form described by Black Mountain in re Quds Force, the thought comes again of “a pearl harbor”… actually a cascade of amplifiers…what in electronics is a Darlington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlington_transistor)

      So? Beebee looking at loss of power and jail…wanted a nice war to save his naziazz, a nice pearl harbor and then! Then he saw a great victory! Only to discover that the con man coned himself, fell for the gag, and the real pearl harbor, which he’s going to create, is Gaza… Beebee and his tasty little operation lives on borrowed time.

      The Persians plan long time for this… It’s tricky about the details, many things can go bang, and one recalls the germs… And also good old B F Liddel Hart…and his emphasis on the indirect in Strategy. Speaking of Strategy… Sun Tsu in translation is at archive.

      The Al-Aqsa Flood operation reportedly took almost a full year of extensive planning, including consultations with regional powers and training of soldiers abroad. Due to the extent and severity of the operation and the amount of planning involved, Hamas undoubtedly knew that Israel would be forced to respond proportionally. In fact, it is very likely that Hamas knew that an Israeli invasion of the Gaza strip would be inevitable after the operation.

      When you think about this, and the fact that Hamas probably already took this scenario into account, then you must ask yourself what is really waiting for the Israelis in Gaza. This is a game of chess, Hamas knew exactly what the next move would be, and the Israelis are playing along.

      I’m stunned and utterly impressed by what Shahid Bolsen has to say in this latest talk that he offered when asked what message he would have for the Israeli people. I never saw it this way before, and I think he’s completely correct.

      The Israeli people, he says, should see the trick played on them by the Zionists and the USA – both of which have always hated the Jews and still do now – the Jewish people should see through this trick, using that great “brain we hear so much about”, and reject Zionism, and simply live in peace with the only people who ever gave them refuge and wanted to live in peace with them: the Palestinians and the neighboring Arabs.

      The US and the Zionists are “anti-Semitic” (as the term is used) and always have been and still are, says Bolsen. The US is not a friend to Israel or an ally. The US is Israel’s worst enemy, using it purely as a policy instrument, to keep the money flowing to its own MIC.

      I’ve been amazed at many things he’s said but this one blows me away – and shreds much of the hatred that I’ve gathered for the people being gamed into performing the evil that comes next in Gaza. As always, its a class war between the privileged of this world and all the rest of us.

      This view is compelling:

        Yes, I agree to a point. It is a class war. However, “is there a US” anymore? The US is as destroyed as Israel.. something is at work above the state level, or stateless, consuming both.

        The Jews also appear to know the score.. my father had a rabbi acquaintance who once confided to him their deepest fear of US Christians. I assume he meant evangelicals.

        And Bolsen assumes the value system they use in Palestine is the Torah… that appears a minority now. And many of those Jews that do so are as persecuted as arabs — some of Orthodox who were protesting Gaza’s collective punishment this week; I saw videos of police attacking them. Rather the Talmudic faction is dominant, the ones openly calling the arabs non-humans. They cannot be reasoned with.

        Then there is the conditioning at work on the jews for generations, quite terrible. I used to read and see (decades ago!) entire families coming on weekends on hills overlooking Gaza with their picnics and beach chairs to enjoy the bombing of the overcrowded concentration camp. (!!)

        These are not normal people anymore. We could also say both groups use each other  — the US gets to blame a rabid proxy that morphed into a monster, and the Israelis get to blame a decadent and cruel Empire in order to indulge dark passions.. a well-matched pair indeed.

        For Prof Hudson and those preferring transcripts:
        “Adapted from #Source (Middle Nation)

        Opinions expressed in this article are the author’s own, and do not reflect the view of Slavyangrad.

        In much of the world, there exists the belief that the USA serves Israel and is controlled by Zionists. It is thought the US government will do anything to save and protect Israel no matter the cost. Many Israelis believe that too.

        A rational, comparative assessment of the US/Israel relationship reveals a different picture. The USA is not Israel’s saviour but its worst enemy. The USA treats Israel with absolute contempt. Benjamin Netanyahu enjoys unparalleled US support, despite being the most despised, most corrupt and incompetent, the most psychopathic, delusional and despotic ruler Israel has ever had.

        Netanyahu holds more responsibility than anyone in Israel for prolonging and worsening conflict with the Palestinians. He has made a career diverting attention away from domestic concerns that actually matter to Israelis, by endlessly talking about security and the supposed threats faced by Israel. The domestic problems just get worse and so does the security situation (which is by design).

        The US loves this, because they don’t care about Israel’s domestic, socioeconomic issues or the disparity and corruption that plagues society there. All that matters to the US is continuing the strife and conflict. Stability, welfare and safety of Israelis means nothing to the US. Israelis want their country to function like any other. They believe their lives and concerns should matter like in any other developed country. For the US however, Israel is nothing but a policy instrument. Israelis and their concerns do not matter.

        Israel’s relationship with the US has been incredibly detrimental to Israel, preventing it from becoming a normal society. Part of that is driven by diaspora Jews who like most diaspora communities are generally far more radical and ideological than their people back home.

        This diaspora in the West, particularly in the US enriches certain people, who exploit Jewish emotional attachment to Israel by funding pro-Israel lobbies. These mostly serve US policy interests and make Israel a vehicle for endless cash flow to American defence companies, and an offshore R&D hub for the Pentagon.

        The US has never wanted Israel to be at peace with her neighbours. They’ve never wanted Israel to integrate into the region. That’s not Israel’s function as far as the US is concerned. The fact that regional integration is in the best interest of the Israeli population and is the only way for it to become a normal society, doesn’t matter to the US.

        The Collective West and the US in particular are using Israel against the interests of its own people. The only way for Israel to ever progress as a society is to dislodge itself from the US and the West and to integrate properly into the region. Until that happens, their domestic or security issues will never be resolved, and Israel will remain a US policy tool.

        In the process, Israelis lose both their lives and their souls. Israelis are constantly pushed to do things against their own religious and moral beliefs. Against their own humanity. Pushed to do things for which they are seen as monsters by the world, particularly by their neighbours.

        Israel should be a Middle Eastern country, belonging to the Global South with which it should share its values and priorities. Operating since its inception as the Western colonial project, it falsely sees itself as a Western nation. As such and with its oppressive apartheid-like system, moving forward Israel will never be able to develop into a normal country.

        The only real way forward is a one-state solution, incorporating all of the occupied territories and all the inhabitants of those territories into one country, with equal citizenship rights. Yes, that will mean that Israel will have a Palestinian majority and will no longer be a so-called Jewish state. It may however finally be able to become a normal, healthy society.

      there was a time not too long ago, within my lifetime, when israelis & palestinians married. yes, it was romeo & juliet, not yet common but neither was it uncommon, it was budding, while not fully embraced it was accepted, in pockets, & happily both families accepted the union, welcoming the prospect of  grandchildren, nephews, nieces, cousins, neighbours, colleagues.  it was a hair’s breath chance @ goodwill for one & all.   & both sides did their best to ensure the newly weds had a life of prosperity & happiness.   the dream was broken as i recall by sharon.

      the idea that america (deep state, beltway, mic, wall street) is the puppeteer i very much doubt.  but what do i know?   russia refers to the anglo saxon & i’ve chosen to read this as a centuries old agenda of some vagrant parasite that decided temporary residence somewhere in an empire where the sun never set.  however, here in these darkening dusky days the parasite, a mutating virus, seeks without love its next host.  palestine, usurped, stolen, savaged as no other & israel, the dildo hypnotized to believe it wasn’t all illusion, chosen for the showdown @ the ok corral…argamendon, here we are.  the parasite would happily settle on china’s forearm, iran’s, russia’s & if they cannot, well?…What next? whatever will the parasite do…next?

        AHH, yes, I agree with what you’re saying, but for me the great value in Bolsen’s words lies in the moral dimension that has been missing for some years. He’s putting the moral value back into the equation.

        It is indeed a matter of if the Israelis are too far gone to reclaim their humanity. This is why they’ll lose if they try to genocide the Palestinians any more than they have already. The Israelis can’t kill the Palestinians without adhering to evil, whereas the Palestinians can kill the Israelis and still retain their virtue.

        I think it’s always important to know which side of the moral balance you’re on, because we can all of us drift or be seduced across that line.

        So perhaps this is the end of Israel, and perhaps all that will remain are those Jews who will ask to live in peace in sovereign Palestine, and the nation will heal itself. And all the Israelis who leave will come to North America – after being thrown out of yet another country for being obnoxious and evil – and then the people of North America will increasingly come to know what it feels like to be Palestinian. As indeed has already been happening – but we ain’t seen nothing yet.

        ~~

        In my daily practice, there is an element of prayer, and lately I’ve included the Gazans in my prayers, and also as an afterthought told myself I have to include the Israelis also. But now, after Bolsen’s gift of that perspective, I find that I truly can pray for the Israelis, to throw off their inhumanity and reclaim themselves as human – knowing that the trap of inhumanity is one that we all can fall into, and be tricked into, and this is the condition of today’s Israelis, but to an unknown degree. The next weeks may show that degree. But there is hope, there is a moral compass that offers hope and aspiration, and so prayers are not wasted.

        ~~

        ps.. for any who may not know, that transcript isn’t the whole of Bolsen’s talk. It’s the geopolitical pith, but I think all of it is worth listening to. There’s a great warmth and richness in all that he has to say to the Israelis.

          Re: “‘for prof hudson & those preferring transcripts…’ & am @ a loss.”

          I included a transcript of salient points from Bolsen’s YouTube video. Many prefer to read, being faster readers, or not hearing as well later in life, etc.. But Grieved is right. His complete audio-visual is more powerful. Like us, he has been tormented by this issue for decades, repugnant really to any decent human being. And his thoughtful and incisive and logical tone provides deeper context.. this issue is really at heart of the dividing line between imperialism and multipolarity. It MUST be solved for not only peace to arrive in West Asia, but all aggrieved worldwide to move on. It is last vestige of open western colonialism, defeated every where else on earth! An amazing anachronism, like seeing dinosaurs… And it directly impacts on the BRI, why China is anxious to solve it. The Occupation blocks the Levantine land-bridge between Asia and Africa, which crosses the Sinai, directly through GAZA.

          Emerson, iirc, Bolsen’s background is in some segment in PR industry — whether in media or advertisement. He is quite savvy and knows the best approach to each target audience. He likely knows what we discuss — that the Parasite hovers above both US and Israel, suiciding both.

          I agree with those saying it is not even human, but a malignant Artificial Intelligence, or better put, an Antichrist. Its actions worked relentlessly, generation after generation, foremost afflicting the West, being completely hollowed out and eviscerated. It sacrifices entire continents in pursuit of global hegemony. So jews are merely foot-soldiers and in process of being torched by their cruel master, just like Ukies.

          Yes Grieved, we agree. Bolsen over-simplifies it, highlighting US duplicity, in order to get Israelis to back off and stop the ongoing genocide which inevitably leads to their next holocaust. He wants them to blink, to remember higher values of all civilizations, to shame them into retreat. A laudable effort. And this also works to split the enemy camp. I don’t think it will work. Neither the US or Israel is in charge any more — minds all gone, given over to hate, vengeance, killing, even revelling in the murder of infants.. Can the UkroNazis be reasoned with? What was Russia’s enforced response in 404? That appears the template in West Asia too

      Rabbis and . I assume he meant evangelicals. He may have, of course. As to the Roman Catholic…the learned “Father O’Malley”  and the learned “Rabbi Stein”, so to say. There existed a profound antipathy such as it may be within the professional confines of holders of a pulpit and a congregation…which is to say a difficult polite mutual fear. They cooperated, but almost like anxious dogs circling one another. I told a Catholic joke to Rabbi…and he didn’t get it. Likewise a Jewish joke to Catholic… They do share many jokes, but there’s a gulf. Humor being a fine tool for discovery. The noun covers several depths of meaning. Rabbi S on several occasions lost his temper when telling me what he thought about the learned colleague. Rabbi S had real profession, as Rabbis are supposed to, he had come to his calling after two scientific professional excursions… I was shocked at his distemper.

      Speaking of humor… Shahid Bolsen speaks not only very rationally and truly, but is buttressed, in part, when RFKj speaks of “our aircraft carrier in the middle east” and “otherwise China would control the oil” . Yes, it’s the old army game, the Racket, typical pirates. Crocodile tears (the fake admirl fella Kurbie! Hollychit)…

      This “imminent invasion” of Gaza is turning into another endlessly promised “counter-offensive,” which took months to start, and to the same hopeless effect.. The zionists are in agony, afraid, in lose-lose scenario. They invent British “weather issues” honed in 404 as excuse to delay their own suicide. There are increasing attacks by Hezbollah on Israeli border posts, and vice versa. The eradication of Gaza proceeds. Arab regimes are increasingly in panic, with Qatar and KSA asking for ceasefire in last day.

      Today at the UNSC, Russia and China table a motion for ceasefire and mediation which should thoroughly expose the combined West and make clear they are complicit in Israeli crimes. This is a significant action, which incrementally works to remove the USUK sole prerogative to dictate West Asian peace settlements since 1970s… the practical outcome will be the end of any authority of the West in the region, likely moving to other reasonable nonpartisan Powers, such as BRICS+…

However, Israeli officials report on local media of MASS DESERTIONS of Israeli troops refusing to go to the front line as Tel Aviv also trembles over possibility of provoking war with Hezbollah, vowing it will open a multi-front war against Israel.

      [this is not the Israeli armies of 1950s… honed over WW2 battlefields. Any of numerous videos of their current troops, busy twerking on TikTok, or abusing women and children, snipers using kids’ heads as watermelon-target practice, obese and inadequate like western troops, etc… indicates the same decadence and softness permeates them as in western armies. They live largely on the reputation of past generations, and vicious standoff technologic means, being useless in close combat against determined resistance. This was also seen in 2006 within meters of their own border in southern Lebanon.

      This also informs desperate USUK move to relocate mercs and key NATO troops to occupied Palestine. Weekend reservists without battle experience and will to fight will not cut it.

      Palestine never give up

      💠Statement from the World Anti-imperialist Platform on Palestine:

      “Today we hear news of the total siege being enforced against the millions of Palestinian occupants of the open-air prison that is the Gaza strip. These people, displaced from their lands and homes and herded into the most populous few miles on the planet, are now being held without food, water, medical supplies or electricity while bombs rain down on high-rise apartment buildings full of families who have nowhere else to go.

      “Just to underline this point, even as the United Nations was calling for humanitarian corridors to enable the exit of non-combatants, the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt – the only possible exit from the strip – was bombed. Once again, internationally banned chemical weapons, including white phosphorus, have been dropped on the people. Once again, the United Nations has declared such means to be illegal and called for an end to the siege.

      “But despite all this, politicians and media in the west are falling over themselves to excuse and hide the crimes of the occupiers instead of holding them to account. Once again, they are filling the pages of their newspapers with fabricated horror stories in order to try to equate the resistance of the occupiers with the oppression of the occupation.

      “This is the true face of the regime that sheds crocodile tears over the fate of ‘civilians’, even as their supporters call for the ‘wiping out’ of Gaza’s two million imprisoned people.

      “And this is the true tragedy of those who serve imperialism as its fascist proxies around the world: in order to dehumanise others, they must first dehumanise themselves. It is they, even more than those they target, who are finding themselves trapped inside an iron cage. It is they who have poisoned the minds of their children by bringing them up to hate and to kill; to believe in the twisted fantasy of dominant and subjugated races; of Uber and Untermensch.

      “They are doomed to a painful awakening. Their efforts will be in vain. The fascistic means of repression used to try to control Palestinian resistance will ultimately prove as futile as they have in Ukraine, south Korea, Chile, South Africa and so many other countries around the world.

      “Meanwhile, it is our task as anti-imperialists to help workers everywhere understand the true nature of this conflict, and to take a stand with the oppressed, whose fight is an integral part of the fight of all humanity to end the barbaric system of capitalist-imperialism for good.

      “We confirm that we will not be deterred from this duty by the push to criminalise every manifestation of support for Palestine that is now ongoing across the collective west.”

      Death to imperialism and its fascist proxies everywhere! Victory to the resistance!

      Forwarded from Older than Edda :
      Observing events in the Middle East, you come to the conclusion that Israel will not launch a ground operation in the Gaza Strip. Moreover, a gradual de-escalation will now begin (Israel today gave water and allowed the opening of the checkpoint between the Strip and Egypt for three hours).

      On the one hand, diplomatic pressure on Israel played a role, plus the reaction of the world community and, above all, the Muslim world to the actions of both Israel itself and the truly Nazi statements of the leadership of the Jewish state and commentators who support this very leadership (here the one who escaped from Russia especially distinguished herself demshiza).

      The second most important factor is the IDF’s realistic assessment of its own forces. I think this was a revelation for Israel, but at the moment, a war against Palestine and its allies would cost the IDF more than Israeli society could bear. Now the IDF will begin to rethink its approach to war and prepare for a bloody and long conflict, taking into account this very rethinking.

      “The revolutionary movement of the masses in the Arab World naturally aims at destroying Israel because Israel is a force that has usurped a portion of this world and is a great danger threatening other portions of it. Consequently, Israel cannot but fight to the end, any Palestinian or Arab revolutionary movement.

      Here imperialism finds itself in the best position in this part of the world, because through Israel it is able to fight the Arab revolutionary movement, which aims at eliminating it from our homeland with Israel becoming the force and the base used by imperialism to protect its presence and defend its interests in our land. Such a situation creates an organic unity between Israel and the Zionist movement on the one hand and world imperialism on the other, because they are both interested in fighting the Palestinian and Arab national liberation movement.

      Thus the protection, reinforcement and support of Israel and the maintenance of its existence are fundamental matters for the interests of world imperialism. This gives us a coherent picture of the enemy, which clearly embraces Israel, the world Zionist movement and world imperialism.”

      — Ninth day of the war, October 15th, status update and major events:

      – Continuous airstrikes in Gaza, but less severe than previous days. Electricity and water still not available in the majority of the Gaza strip, however Israel turned on the water in the south of Gaza to encourage evacuations to that area.

      – Sporadic rocket barrages by Hamas from Gaza towards Ashkelon and Tel Aviv, but nothing really major.

      – The PIJ launched a barrage of rockets from Lebanon towards Nahariya and Shlomi.

      – A huge increase of activity on the northern front throughout the day. Hezbollah targeted IDF sites with ATGMs, destroying radar sites, Merkava tanks and APCs. They also destroyed IDF surveillance equipment in Metula with small arms. At least 6 separate Hezbollah attacks were recorded today, more than all previous days combined.

      – Throughout the entire day at several different moments, the IDF fired artillery upon South Lebanon and carried out helicopter patrols as well as drone strikes on Hezbollah targets, in response to the continuous targeting of IDF sites. As mentioned, the situation in the north has escalated and is now a constant loop of tit for tat.

      – Israeli media reported that Israel is considering declaring war on Hezbollah, with several ministers including the Defense Minister supporting this idea. However, Netanyahu is said to oppose it.

      There’s an external watchful waiting. A bitter betrayal today at Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egyptian Sinai. Today was supposed to have had an exchange of hostages for aid. This was refused, in spite of arranged guarantees, even as the UN fuel trucks were entering. Then they bombed the roads on the Palestinian side, ensuring nothing could get in. So the plan appears, in setting of their fear to invade (both due to loss of manpower, and external threats by Hezbollah, Iran, etc..) and refusal to allow electricity, water, food, etc.. to starve out the entire population. And there by force Egypt to accept survivors. This may also be a new tactic to get external players to enter into the fray, to break the intolerable siege. They want wider war at all costs. And towards that purpose, they delivered overnight the heaviest air strikes since the start of the conflict.

      💠@MedManTG:
      ⚡️🇧🇩 Bangladeshi Islamist organizations are advising Muslim rulers and are asking them to intervene in Palestine with whatever capacity they can. And by “capacity” I mean war and conflict.

      Disgusting, this border HAS to open today, over 200 trucks are waiting from Al-Arish to Rafah, and you – you told the US you agreed, you told us you agreed in private, Reuters said it, NBC said it, Al-Jazeera said it, everyone said it. Cut the crap, you low-life.
      ⚡️Netanyahu said he only agreed to let foreigners leave. Ben Gvir, his minister of National Security, said that they never agreed to let foreigners leave, and that aid “may” come through.

      ⚡️🇪🇬 The Egyptian Minister of Health arrives to Al-Arish, Sinai. Most likely, he will coordinate the hospitals and the medical aid that will be sent to Gaza.
      ⚡️🇪🇬 There are reports from the aid organizations that the Israelis would only allow the aid to go through if they personally – not the PA, not international observers, not Americans, but Israeli officials and security officers, inspected every single truck that is going to Gaza. Fuck you! you expect every truck to unload its dozens of tons of food, water, and medicine, then load them back, then go to Gaza, over 2200 Tons?

      The Israeli side has been playing everyone since the beginning, no wonder the stereotypes about them is a commonality between cultures that are separated by thousands of kilometers. You agreed to the basic principles with all the negotiators, you do not get to suddenly demand something in the end.
      ⚡️🇵🇸 Fuel Trucks have begun entering the Gaza Strip through the Rafah Crossing.
      ⚡️I… they are leaving.
      ⚡️You know what, I give up, fuck you Guterres, and fuck every politican in a suit who was all talk and no walk. The Israelis probably warned the UN that they are going to bomb the fuel trucks, and the UN after it entered Gaza high tailed it and left the Strip to avoid being missiled.
      ⚡️You know what really hurt me the most, guys? I have seen quite alot of gore and my limit for corpses and sheer blood and guts is pretty high, what disappointed and disgusted me the most were not the decapitated infants, the wailing mothers and the fathers, the on-live camera recording of the death of the journalist who had his legs evaporated, I have seen all of that before (some in real life and in person) and it really does not affect me that much.

      But what disappointed me the most today were the past three hours, on how the Jews could not hold on to their promise and break what is genetical in their bloodlines for just 5 hours – 5 hours, not asking for much, and on how all the international aid organizations, quite literally, UN trucks, got our hopes up for just 5 minutes before breaking it.

      Of course, all the diplomats, organizers, and negotiators are frantically trying to find a way to send the things, there are over 2,000 tons of aid in Sinai hoarded and waiting to be sent, maybe they can agree to something through the last remaining two hours, who knows.

However, the facilities have been pushed beyond their capacities to provide meaningful aid. [an Israeli objective is being achieved: clearing north Gaza and packing all Palestinians into south Gaza. Gaza before this conflict had among highest population density in the world — are being packed in even tighter now in south Gaza]

They have called for an emergency session of the Arab League—a conglomerate of nations from North Africa, West Asia, and parts of East Africa. This session would be focused on condemning Israeli aggression and discussing potential responses. [this appears cowardly posturing. Iraq itself remains occupied. Most non-GCC arabs were destroyed due to hybrid wars since 1991, all occupied with US bases, willingly or unwillingly. GCC and Egypt, the ones with heft, are cowed or complicit.

      analysts note that the 1,000 or so bombs Israel is throwing down every day on Gaza may largely be “dumb” bombs – unguided iron bombs, largely from old US stocks since Vietnam era (even Korea-era?). The priority is leveling, not saving lives, to erase Gazan buildings and infrastructure from the face of the earth. And even “guided” bombs destroying dense apartment blocks and built-up refugee camps will kill wholesale. iow, the term “guided” is a PR-term, to optically make it appear the Israelis care about saving lives, whereas firstly most bombs aren’t guided, and even the guided bombs kill without distinction given how tight Gaza is packed with humans.

Turkey’s med coast is nearby Gaza. It sent aid convoys in the past, which were harassed by Israelis with even some onboard killed. So this plan appears real… Gazans just need to hold on until this is sent. Maybe after the mooted big decisions on October 18, with VVP meeting XJP, and after rejection of UNSC plea by Russia… This sacrifice of the Palestinians is accelerating the military devolution of Hegemony..

      https://en.mehrnews.com/news/207196/Raeisi-blames-US-West-s-failed-policy-for-Gaza-catastrophe
      In a telephone conversation between the presidents of Iran and Russia on Monday, President Raeisi warned about the continuation of crimes by the Zionist regime, “Look at what is happening in Gaza, it is quite possible that the war could spill over to other regions, and in that case, it will get more difficult to bring the escalated situation under control as time passes. Therefore, we expect all countries, including Russia, as permanent member of the UN Security Council, and international organizations to play a more effective role in stopping the war crimes being committed by the Zionist regime.”

      The Russian president, for his part, emphasized that Russia’s assessment of the causes behind the current crisis in Gaza is the same as Iran’s, adding that there is no justification for the Israeli huge attacks on a densely populated area where more than 2 million people live defenselessly and they should be stopped as soon as possible.
      Vladimir Putin stated that carrying out a ground assault in Gaza would come at a heavy price and ramifications in terms of military and humanitarian aspects, explaining more that, “Americans tried to advance their desired strategy to solve the Palestinian issue on their own, but this solution has failed and Russia is also worried about the spillover of the current conflict in Gaza to other areas.”

      https://m.vz.ru/news/2023/10/16/1235274.html
      Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about Moscow’s steps to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
      The press service clarified that Putin brought to the Israeli side the key points of today’s telephone contacts with the leaders of Palestine, Egypt, Iran and Syria. In addition, the head of state told Netanyahu about Russia’s readiness to promote a diplomatic settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Kremlin noted.

      According to the press service, Putin condemned the actions in Israel, the victims of which are civilians. The Russian President also expressed his sincere condolences to the families and friends of the Israeli victims, and emphasized his strong rejection and condemnation of any actions that target the civilian population, including women and children, the Kremlin added.

      Brother, thank you. The torrent is important, please continue. I hear the emotion raised in you. And I know the shame of the crimes. At zone Anoxia there were several Native Tribes. The State paid bounties for scalps. And volunteer militia rounded many up like cattle, marched the trail of tears through the mountains to the sea…. I have met a descendant over beers. The nearby town once had a large and prosperous Chinese population. The whites made a committee that informed the Chinese that their town would be burned in two days. Then after two days the fellas burned it down. The newspaper says nothing about where they went, or if any fought. Even living here is shameful. Casual conversation with the uninformed innocents is awkward, they accept the past as irrelevant. The nutty general of the mutiny memo grew up not terribly far away…and in deep Indian Territory all stole… Withal, please continue. Things seem about to really catch fire…and if they do I cannot imagine we’ll be in touch for a long time. The cables and stuff, not to mention the electric power… you know, one giant Gaza, and maybe radioactive too.

      @Sudhi
      , that was a pretty good report from Ishchenko, a good roundup of the prevailing interests, in a zone in which there are many interests.

      I have to fight my own anger to remember that the true goal here is for Russia, China and Iran to lower the hegemon to his knees gently, as he falls – like dealing with the drunk at a party – without knocking anything over, or waking the drunken imbecile into clumsy rage, or spoiling the party. This is the task we’ve seen Russia at for several years, now joined by China, and lately by Iran.

      So, even as the blood flows and the sinews strain for justice against the Israeli savage, it will be best if the major powers can calm this situation.

      ~~

      Israel, however, has destroyed itself by its Zionist brutalities. It will take a lot of good Jews speaking up after this, to prevent the old stereotypes being applied across the board to the whole tribal culture worldwide. There is still a chance for this, I think.

      But the ground is where it matters most. It seems to me that after the victory of Hamas, the obvious strategic goal for the Palestinians now must be to reclaim territories that were thought lost; for Syria to reclaim its lands and ultimately evict the occupying thieves; for Israel to face a barrage of criticism from the world for being a blood-simple savage.

      If the situation calms, the region will understand that it can take similar actions as Hamas and actually take territory – slice away at the occupier. If it doesn’t calm, then the region will prove this all at once. It’s Israel’s choice for how it wants to end, either very soon or a little later, over time.

      Iran’s preference, as Ishchenko states, is for a death by thousand cuts that wears down and eventually evicts the US from West Asia, and this can now also be applied to Israel.

      It must be the case that with Blinken on board and others coming, Israel can act tough and angry and not show its absolute fear, as the others try to restrain its perceived anger. But one day the carrier group will leave, and only Israel’s fear will remain.

      A thousand cuts.

      From a dispassionate appraisal of the Empire’s zombie-moves, this slow-motion horror-show appears a script being carried out to the bitter dregs. Like Biden saying the “Ruble was rubble” in Poland, contrary to reality. They do not appear over their shock at the turn of fortune. Perhaps the script expected Russia at this point to have been prostrate, demilitarized, and NATO arsenals to be near-full and unconstrained. And Europe without war fatigue and not de-energized or demilitarized, and with mojo intact, that China and the Rest of Humanity would be cowed. Well.. no time for new script. Onwards for Empire too, on Rides that Richard Wagner would know.

      💠@Middle East Spectator:
      ⚡️[this continues comments on Iranian FM Abdollahian’s presser tonight about pre-emptive action:]  The only real possibility right now of an escalation, is Hezbollah joining the war against Israel.

      Talks of Iran joining, or even Syria or Shia militias and houthis, are wishful thinking and 99% won’t happen. Iran sees the militias in Iraq and Syria as an extension of itself, and it won’t use them unless Iran is involved directly in a war. Hezbollah is independent, they make their own decisions, in consultation with Iran and the resistance. They are able to handle themselves and they have the agency and capability to act independently.

      [He makes the scenarios clear to enemies. So this appears the graded Resistance Arc’s escalation approach: Hezbollah to open northern front only. Then take stock. If they attack Syria or Iran, then more counter-escalation…]

      ⚡️Iranian Foreign Minister:
      🔹Time is running out, and the resistance has the capability to engage in long-term wars with the enemy
      🔹During my meeting with the resistance leaders, they made it clear that they will not allow the Zionist regime to invade Gaza, and to then move on to another resistance front

      [remember he just concluded his long week-long regional tour, from Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Qatar (with political Hamas elite), calls to Lavrov and Wang Yi and Saudis and Egyptians…. consensus is not to allow piece-meal attacks by Zionists/West, but to defend together. Sink or swim together]

      ⚡️The Iranian Foreign Minister basically says that intervention might be necessary, because Hezbollah knows that if Israel invades Gaza, Lebanon will be next on the agenda. It is a matter of Hezbollah’s own survival, and therefore in their own direct interest, to make sure that the Israeli operation in Gaza does not succeed.
      ⚡️Israeli Media: The only reason we have not invaded Gaza yet is Hezbollah, our leaders are weighing the decision of whether it is worth opening a second front

      ⚡️”The Guardian has sacked cartoonist Steve Bell, who has worked at the paper for more than 40 years, over an ‘anti-Semitic’ cartoon of Netanyahu”: Free speech in the British media ends where Israel begins.”

The drawing shows Israel’s prime minister wearing boxing gloves and holding a scalpel over his exposed stomach, preparing a Gaza-shaped incision, with the caption: ‘Gazans, get out now’.” Critics have taken this as a reference to Shylock, the Jewish loan shark from Shakespeare’s play The Merchant of Venice, who demands “a pound of meat” from the body of someone who cannot pay him back.

      The artist insists it is a reference to a 1960s cartoon by David Levine, who drew US President Lyndon Johnson with a Vietnam-shaped scar on his torso. He added that “it is now becoming almost impossible to create on the subject of Israel for the Guardian without being accused of ‘anti-Semitism'”.

        dear emerson, ours may be a minority opinion holding that the brain or CPU is in City, but note how Steve Bell, under editorial guidance of one of the most VIP media in the Anglosphere, and in Britain too, always drew the US-UK relationship.. so much of truth that remains in the West is in the Arts.

        In one, Mad Blair comes out of Bush’s noggin to speak (and lie) for Empire.. in another, Bush, always drawn as a hairy ape, is the standing hired muscle, while the Brit sits and lectures the Iraqi. The real disdain is for the American in each shot, alongside the preposterousness of the Brits (Bell the last Brit who could laugh at his kind?)

        Mercouris notes the British Financial Times always voices the US neocon position, and is first to do so, even before US media. Is that maybe reversed? That positions are laid out then enacted across the pond among the colonials returned to the British enclosure?? Truly an upside down wizard of oz empire.

        But the great game’s up. Russians have singled out the entire lot by saying Anglo-Saxon, and indicated their first salvo will be directed at City, the eternal unquenchable enemy, and not at the hired muscle.

      ➡️China is concerned about the consequences of the Gaza sector blockade by Israel and urges the cessation of collective punishment of Gaza residents.

      💠Remember the Reuters journalist murdered by the Israeli Apache helicopter standing in a clearly neutral zone just inside Lebanon? He must have been under Hezbollah protection.. They were filming the border incidents and were then deliberately targeted. British Reuters didn’t have the decency to acknowledge the crime came from Israeli hands! They just said the missile appeared to come from the Israeli direction… But in traditional societies what happened was too much. Today, Hezbollah said they attacked Israel to avenge this murdered journalist on their turf. Who has the sense of honor in this confrontation? This is why they fear Hezbollah so much, and delay invasions of Gaza. Every one of their crimes or aggression has a response.

        russia, china & iran expected the UNSC outcome, i won’t be surprised  to learn lavrov & wang yi crafted the resolution.  taking it to UNGA ensures the rest of humanity, our global majority, finally determines events.  rather than a closed shop it becomes democratic & therein restores the united nations to its fundamental & crucial place in our world.  this brings our world nearer peace & a voice for all.

        dear ahh, dear sudhi, dear Mr.P, your shared photos, snaps & cartoons are priceless—offhand, i can think of a number i would love to buy as a T-shirt, hoodie, cap (no i’m neither a hoodie nor a cap granny but friends/fam are), card or cup…i would even get a credit card to do this, something i never imagined i’d consider.   i’ve friends that love wearing their hearts on their sleeves or chests sharing images that can change the world.  so….

        dear ahh, your photo of winged children over gaza inspired this.  for christmas, i’d love mailing cards of a dove flying out of the gaza ruins or  the one this morning of your winged children, angels over gaza.  in an ordinary world in ordinary times i am not a shopper, i’ve more than enough stuff,  trying to dispose of my departed beloved’s collection, but for amarynth & to help her & her life’s work, for the globalsouth & gaza & for africa nestled within an opportunity to bring their struggle to light is a win win; i get the joy of helping globalsouth, getting the word out as well as encouraging friends & family to realize why this time is like no other & why they need to reclaim their hearts & minds.  blessings.  🙏🏿

      when i first heard putin refer to the anglo saxon…i stopped, searched the text, & yes, that was the descriptor.  what?  how can that begin to adequately cover the ground?  i spent some long mornings on a sodden log gazing out @ our fuku grifted waters pondering why a master of legal documents & devilish details would so eloquently shift from ‘my learned partner’ to anglo saxon rather something more exact.  putin invariably is decades ahead.  i suspect when he & xi met prior to the olympic games these events were already gamed.

      Recalling that President and Lady Assad demonstrated a deep and thoughtful anticipation of future difficulties by leaving their children in China.

      As though the King and Queen returning to join the war with courage.

      Thus Mr “b” to-day presents a view that the bigbignavy and birdmen expedition to “Gaza” is in reality intended to destroy Syria.

      The recent Israeli bombing attacks on the airports of Aleppo and Damascus, disabling both of them, point into this direction.

      The neo-conservative lunatics in the White House may well think that they now have a chance to eliminate Russia’s presence in the Middle East.

      They will think of this as a revenge for their loss of the the war in Ukraine. They also believe that it will prevent, or compensate for, their geopolitical defeat in Gaza.

      Russia is undoubtedly prepared for that. Still, its contingent in Syria is too small. A combined attack by all U.S. forces in the area, more than 150 airplanes, would certainly defeat it.

      The question then will be: “What’s next?”

      But I for one do not dare to answer it.

      I am recalling that the target is not asleep, and is liable to strike first when a fight is inevitable…geewhiz, what if the second carrier has mechanical problems… thoughts cascade…

      Thanks for your patience, this pseudo-Luddite is learning the ropes of main site and multi-tasking.. may be posting less for a bit. Also the overall contours of the geopolitical confrontation in West Asian front is solidifying. I usually do not cover skirmishes and war-stuff, and that appears the current inexorable development. Hezbollah and Israelis keep shelling, missiling, rocketing and otherwise fighting each other in endless tit-for-tat, in what appears prelude to the big stuff.

      “Just as the smoky old Palestinian bulldozer tore through the world’s smartest barrier on Saturday, it tore away at Israel’s arrogance and complacency. And that’s also how it tore away at the idea that it’s enough to occasionally attack Gaza with suicide drones – and sell them to half the world – to maintain security.” –– Gideon Levy

      Are the crazies, unable to handle even a two-front war inside occupied Palestine swiveling solely to Lebanon??? Gaza may have been put on back burner in lieu of attacking Hezbollah.. it would also dampen global uproar; they can come back and digest Gaza later or while eyes are on other battlefronts such as Syria or the sinking US Navy
      CORRECTION: Biden is expected in Israel tomorrow, 18 October.

      💠@MedManTG:
      ⚡️🇱🇧 Okay, Let’s just watch and see for now. Hezbollah leadership has been biding their time and probably building up for an intense but short war. Keep in mind there have been many false alarms and skirmishes along this front for the past week. Israelis also bombed some towns in Southern Lebanon with WP, so this can be a response to that. The resistance forces have decades of experience fighting Israel. They know what they are doing.
      ⚡️Israeli Spox says “Offensive into Gaza may not happen.” Someone is getting cucked. [Armageddon averted?! But these serpents lie with every breath. Let’s wait and see. NEVER trust and ALWAYS verify with this sort]
      ⚡️❗️Egyptian Construction Crews have entered Gaza and are now fixing the roads leading from the Palestinian side of Rafah!
      ⚡️I hope this is not a new cope, because I was extremely disappointed yesterday, the Palestinian side of Rafah is totally ruined – I just saw the pictures and the news crew going across and filming it, this is not even suitable for trucks, hopefully the new guys can get this fixed and up and running.

      💠@Middle East Spectator:

It literally sounds like a warzone. [ video
      ⚡️NEW: Israel says the next stage of the war might not be what everyone is expecting, and that a ground offensive into Gaza was never explicitly mentioned

      🔹Established fact: Daesh has never attacked Israel, even verbally.
      🔹Established fact: Daesh has always fought the enemies of the empire of lies and adheres to all campaigns targeting China, Russia, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, etc.
      🔹Established fact: Daesh is a 100% creation of the empire’s special services.


      South Africa Palestine protests

      💠@Africa Intel:
      ⚡️South Africa foreign affairs minister had a call with Hamas leader to discuss aid
      South Africa’s foreign affairs minister has spoken to Hamas’s leader in order to “discuss getting humanitarian aid to Palestine”, her office said. After militant group Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel last weekend, the Israeli army has laid siege to Gaza, the densely populated Palestinian area where Hamas is based.

      South African minister Naledi Pandor on Tuesday confirmed she had a call with Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, on behalf of the South African government. Hamas, rather than South Africa, initiated the talks, the office said. “Minister Pandor and the Hamas leader discussed how to get the necessary humanitarian aid to Gaza and other parts of the Palestinian territories.” The minister’s office denied reports by a local media house that stated she expressed support for the Hamas attack on Israel.

      💠@Intel Slava Z:
      ⚡️❗️Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces), General Ali Fadavi, said that Israel will face “another shock” if it does not stop striking the Gaza Strip.
      ⚡️❗️Jordan cannot accept Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip, this issue is a red line for the kingdom. This statement was made by King Abdullah II of Jordan during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, answering questions from journalists about a possible influx of refugees into the country. “This is a red line. No more Palestinian refugees – neither in Jordan nor in Egypt. This problem must be solved within the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian territories in the West Bank [of the Jordan River], and there is no need to shift it onto the shoulders of other states,” the monarch emphasized.
      ⚡️ Could the UK and Europe be facing a repeat of the 2015 migrant crisis? [they are openly mooting displacing Gazans to Europe!! Not to solve the occupation, but ethnically cleanse. They want to empty entire West Asia and Africa into Europe….]


      ⚡️Iranians have launched an online campaign to recruit volunteers to support Palestine, media say. Currently, about 3.4 million people have applied through the site
      ⚡️One of the victims of the Hamas attack reported that some of the dead Israelis were killed by Israeli security forces. Israeli radio Kan REKA and TV Channel 12 published an interview with Israeli Yasmin Porat, a survivor of the Hamas attack on Kibbutz Be’eri near the Gaza border on October 7. She said that local residents were killed by their own security forces. When the Israeli police exchanged fire with Hamas, the Jews fired indiscriminately at both fighters and civilians of the kibbutz. A witness to the events claims: most of the Jewish civilians were killed by Israeli intelligence services. [this is repost. See above for full report]

Nothing is respected, with almost a dozen UN buldings bombed]
      ⚡️ Palestinians have organized mass graves for those killed by Israeli shelling of the Gaza Strip. The bodies are separated from each other by a row of bricks.

      ⚡️So the second leader of the triune nation is on the phone: Lukashenko – at a meeting with Iranian Vice President Mohammad Mokhber: “The Middle East crisis contributes to the fact that countries unfriendly to us – the United States and the West – are constantly directing the spearhead of this conflict against Iran. You can feel it better. Our answer is the same: we must work more closely with each other, cooperate together to counter these outbursts.” [this is more on the statement of Luka from above]
      ⚡️ The head of the House Foreign Policy Committee confirmed the presence of 2 thousand US Marines off the coast of Gaza and Israel and allowed their participation in the conflict [this is SOP by now. Send weapons or men, then declare they are to be sent.. it will not help them as in 404..]
      ⚡️The Telegraph quoted an Israeli official as saying: The fight to destroy Hamas may take months or even years. [🤣😂“Got Time?”]

      💠@Marx Engels Lenin Institute:
      ⚡️If the war between Hezbollah and Israel explodes then I suspect the promise that Netanyahu has been given is that the US will use its air power to try and attack Hezbollah. That will mean though that the American presence in northern Syria will most likely come under attack immediately  and most likely get wiped out or forced to surrender. The same is true for the presence they have left in Iraq. Their puppet rulers in Jordan and Morocco would face a mass uprising and/or possible military coups. Even the Turkish and the Saudi reactionaries would be forced into a corner by such a move, facing enraged populations and a possible revolt even inside their own ruling circles. In short, it would be extremely damaging for US imperialisms interests in the region.

      On the other hand though if they allow Israel to fall to defeat and possible collapse then it will also severely damage their ability to project power in the Middle East and have devastating political consequences domestically in the US as well. Imperialism is caught between a rock and a hard place now. Either way further defeat looms for it.

      “An Israeli woman who survived the Hamas assault on settlements near the Gaza boundary on 7 October says Israeli civilians were “undoubtedly” killed by their own security forces.”

      The survivor was from the “rave” Nature party and sought refuge in the Kibbutz. This story sounds plausible when considering the high number of civilians killed is disproportionate to Israeli security forces casualties.

      Many bloggers are writing about the Protocol Hannibal or Hannibal Directive, adopted by the Israeli army after the earlier instances of exchange of Palestinians for Isreali hostages, when they were able to retrieve 1,000 of their fighters in return for a single Israeli soldier. According to this protocol, allegedly, Israeli security forces will shoot the hostages first if they can, rather than let them get into the hands of the “terrorists”.

      Hamas may have wanted to rescue all the female Palestinians languishing in Israeli prisons, so this may explain why they took even Israeli women and children hostages. They thought they could exchange maybe 100 people for a couple of thousand people. What Hamas didn’t count on, apparently, is that the Israeli government no longer cares about their own people, they are just a bunch of maniacs!

        @Sudhi, yes I believe that story too. We’ve seen the clip that Syrian Girl posted showing how the Israeli forces were shooting from within the rave, and AHH at the time said he’d seen several such posts.

        What’s remarkable to me is how quickly the story of a Hamas “massacre of the innocents” arose immediately after the Hamas action began – it was the first word that seemed to come to the west, even in alternative media. Many commentators have made otherwise good analyses of the situation but still on the basis that Hamas committed atrocities from the beginning, i.e. as part of their campaign tactics. But there was never film of any of this.

        And nothing about a “Hamas atrocity” makes any sense. They are not terrorists, they are insurgents. Their principal mission was to demonstrate how they could break out of the prison, take hostages and return with them alive to use as negotiation. Killing them would be pointless, and as for taking the time to rape or brutalize them these fighters were on a tightly planned mission – random mayhem was not their goal.

        So, yes, Israeli players opened the gate wider than Hamas had to fight through – but they neglected to tell IDF it was happening, and IDF immediately fell apart, given Hamas the room to proceed farther than they probably planned. So, Khamenei is correct (as he always is) that the great achievement was the disgrace of IDF and Israeli combat reputation.

        As always, the comedians got to the truth of the insurgency first, in the west (good for Jimmy Dore):

        And over time the true story will become more known, except among the brainwashed, who don’t really matter.

          The Grayzone has now identified a key source of the claim that Palestinian militants beheaded Israeli babies. He is David Ben Zion, a Deputy Commander of Unit 71 of the Israeli army who also happens to be an extremist settler leader who incited violent riots against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank earlier this year.
          Hours later, she qualified her statement, stating, “Soldiers told me they believe 40 babies/children were killed. The exact death toll is still unknown as the military continues to go house to house and find more Israeli casualties.”

          Yet the unverified tale quickly made its way to the highest levels of leadership, as if by design. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman stated unequivocally that babies and toddlers were found with their “heads decapitated,” while President Joe Biden himself vaguely gestured towards “stomach-churning reports of babies being killed.”

          ‘Nut-en-Yahu’ deploys the dubious allegation of beheaded babies to draw his US sponsors deeper into his war.

      ⚡️I have seen many wars on the ground and lived and survived many Israeli wars. But this war, the brutality of Israel is beyond any description. I have seen enough for today
      ⚡️We call ourselves civilised. #Israel Army is satisfying its population thirst for blood. The problem doesn’t lie in Israel coz killing is part of its hobby. The problem lies with the world that choose to remain blind to the Israeli killing machine & unconditionally support it. [a terrible case is being built against all of us by the Antichrist… easing his desired conflagration to reduce the world.. Prayers and certain positive deeds delay reckonings; this has the opposite purpose of hastening Armageddon.]
      ⚡️This is the largest massacre committed against a hospital and population never seen in #Gaza or anywhere else. The crimes of #Israel have no limit. Children and women dismembered from the bombing. In every war, Israel commits a massacre and gets away with it. [photo above of burning hospital with 300-500 dead]
      ⚡️ #Israel killed 500 people when bombing the Ma’madani Hospital in #Gaza, the largest crime ever committed in one bomb since the beginning of the conflict.
      Photo Wider support
      ⚡️[retweeting from Italian]: One thing is perhaps still unclear to Europeans: the conflict will not remain confined to Gaza. Israel and the USA are leading the world towards a frightening and very dangerous regional war.
      ⚡️Between 600,000 & 1 million civilians have their homes destroyed by [the equivalent of] more than a quarter atomic bomb launched by #Israel in a few days only and have left to a more secured place in south #Gaza. This is exactly what #Israel wants for its invasion [of north Gaza] to minimise the army’s casualties.
      ⚡️This is how the “soft exodus” of the Palestinians begins: “Possibility of creating areas to help keep civilians out of harm’s way”. No mention of ceasefire of cessation of hostilities and civilian killing
      ⚡️The Israeli invasion of #Gaza is confirmed 100%. The point is only when not if.

      ⚡️Al Jazeera report after Israeli Air Force targeted a hospital in southern Gaza. The doctor in the video says 500 dead. [this is the same Ma’madani Hospital above ..]
      ⚡️Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson: “More than 500 victims were killed in an airstrike by the Zionist regime on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital”
      ⚡️Al Jazeera: Regime forces are now also threatening to bomb the Al Aqsa martyrs hospital in Gaza
      ⚡️ People are on the streets of Jenin in the West Bank, reacting to Israel striking a hospital in Gaza.

      The Israeli Air Force attacked a Baptist hospital in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian sources report a large number of casualties. Many patients burned alive in the ensuing fire.

      As of Tuesday evening, the number of children killed as a result of Israeli bombings reached 940. The figure is not final. A huge number of corpses are under the rubble, incl. whole families. Hundreds more children are in extremely serious condition, with 80-90% burns. Most of them will die.

      Forwarded from Colonelcassad:
      By mass murdering civilians, the Israeli Nazis are trying to cover up the shame of their own armed forces and intelligence.
      Now the IDF is bleating plaintively that “they are studying the facts” and “perhaps the Palestinians fired at themselves.”

      Here, Israel split a hospital into atoms, not a military hospital, but a civilian hospital.
      Genocidal maniacs!

      Protesters in Iran tonight after hospital bombing

      a great crime, shocking to even a calloused region, took place tonight. About 1,000 died in the deliberate bombing of that single hospital. Hundreds more are yet unaccounted, not counting 1,000+ still unrecovered from rubble…… Several other hospitals were targeted too. Remember they served notice to ALL North Gaza hospitals to clear out in 24 hours. Most ignored the demands, as tantamount to murder of so many patients. These are the hospitals now being picked off… North Gaza is being cleared and leveled, come what may.

      Already the earth is tilting against the compradore elites of the region, with the Israeli embassy in Jordan torched, the one in Turkey being barricaded and under assault atm, etc.. Even the poodle Palestinian “Prez” Abbas left Jordan to return to West Bank rather than be seen with Biden tomorrow. A great bifurcation with the combined West, to last at least a century, is under way… they are all tainted now with Israeli and zionist crimes, lepers in perpetuity.

      💠@Arab Africa:
      There is not a single safe place left in the Gaza Strip. A Palestinian girl spoke about this at the Rafah border crossing on the border with Egypt. The girl said in an interview with Al-Jazeera that the Israeli Air Force attacked them as they drove to the border crossing. “We knew that the border crossing would not be opened, but we were sure that when we got to Rafah we would be safe, but now no one is safe in all of Gaza, we are constantly being bombed.”
      Egypt demanded to stop bombing the Rafah border crossing area. Egypt appealed to the international community to intervene in the situation and demand that Israel stop bombing the Rafah border crossing area. [Egypt is done too, unless it is itself attacked.. a gelded NPC controlled by purse-strings for the duration, so sad, given its heft, location, and glorious history.. many forget their Navy was instrumental in blockading and fighting the Crusaders alongside Saladin on land, and breaking their back a millennia ago, but the Zionists have not forgotten and broke Egypt down nicely this time around. Today, Egypt wanders so meekly into the End Times, a toothless and senile Junta busy earning 30 silver shekels..]
