      The occupation deliberately targets gatherings of citizens in front of bakeries and water distribution centers. 220,000 housing units were damaged by the aggression, and 40,000 were completely damaged and uninhabitable. Gaza is effectively living in famine, and the Israeli occupation is deliberately targeting all necessities of life.

      โšก๏ธWhen I see/hear the bombs falling on #Gaza, I really feel for the people living in such a horrible situation. I have lived under Israeli bombing in many wars. It cannot be described. You are full of anger towards those who are inflicting pain and causing so much destruction
      โšก๏ธIn fact, you think of those bombarding the area where you are that they can’t be human because human beings cannot be so dehumanised and love so much destruction and killing. This is what #Israel is doing in #Gaza against its 2.3 million people.
      โšก๏ธYou see images of children suffering or being killed. Have you ever held a child who has been hit by a bomb? Have you ever picked up a child’s limbs, put them in a plastic bag and had their blood all over you? Have you ever held a child burnt by a bomb?
      โšก๏ธHave you heard a child ask you What did I do to lose my brothers and sisters? Where are my parents to look after me? Why were they killed?
      What must I do now? I did. You can stop the bombing of #Israel now.
      โšก๏ธThe @UN said 88 of its personnel were killed by #Israel’s indiscriminate bombing. This is the highest UN killed in one single conflict, and the bombing is still at its beginning. The Israeli killing doesn’t spare UN employees, Journalists, civilians or medical personnel.

We all believed it like simple-minded people. In the end, Israel has never had an army. Israel is the United States. Without the support of the United States, there is very little chance that Israel could survive more than a week.”

      This is almost the same conclusion that the Iranians came to: “We were frightened with a fiction. Behind this fiction was hidden the most hideous face of the true warlike power of Washington, this face that only the victims of American bombs in the world could see before they die”

      Yemen has moved beyond the stage of condemnation and denouncement to an advanced stage by directly entering the war with the zionist entity.

      The zionist intelligence agency classifies Yemen as the most dangerous among the Axis of Resistance countries, more than Hezbollah and the Popular Mobilization Forces.

      The composition of the Yemeni person is characterized by nobility, dignity, and the rejection of the occupier, and indeed Yemen is a graveyard for invaders, and Yemen’s participation with Palestine is proof of that.

      During the past three weeks, the number of Palestinian prisoners in zionist jails has doubled, and it is doing so to secure itself even if a prisoner exchange operation occurs.

      The green light given to the zionist entity for bombing, killing, and destruction has never been given to anyone before.

      The financial amounts provided by Yemen to Palestine, whether large or small, have a significant impact on the Palestinians because they are taken from the sustenance of their children.

      All Palestinian factions participated in all confrontations with the zionist enemy.ย [remember that when you keep hearing “Hamas, Hamas, Hamas” by the demented..]

      Within hours of the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Western countries moved and provided all support to the zionist entity.

      The ruling Arab regimes were created by the occupation, and this is a fact that must be acknowledged.

      Hezbollah plays a significant role in confronting the zionist entity and has delivered many painful strikes to the enemy.

      Societies that preserve their values and principles have interacted with the Palestinian cause and are affected by what happens, unlike the normalizing states that have changed the thoughts and orientations of their people, and therefore they no longer care about what happens in Gaza.

      The Palestinians are the ones who decide the success of any operation against the zionist entity, and all hope for victory lies with them.ย [listen carefully to this last statement, those of you who keep holding out hope for the GCC, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, etc.. It is Greater Shaam (Greater Syria, consisting of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordanian non-elites) in coordination with Yemen and Iraqi militias, which will be decisive. And they can wage wars of successful attrition, forcing out the Zionists, being sufficient to the task. Only AFTER the West is purged from West Asia and loses the petrodollar, will the other compradore arabs implode and see regime changes…]ย

      โšก๏ธThe Israeli Army:ย  The Israeli army said it had recorded about 30 launches from Lebanon in the last hour and was returning fire.

      “…There is reason to believe that the Biden Administration is dissimulating and creating false narratives in the media โ€” feigning differences with Netanyahu, etc. โ€” ย while in reality, the Israeli plan is very much in Blinkenโ€™s talking points in the diplomatic engagements behind closed doors, especially with the wealthy Gulf countries who would be called upon to” bankroll the settlement of Gazaโ€™s displaced population in Sinai.”ย 

      The fix is in. Blinken tours leisurely to buy time for more genocide and efficiency of ethnic cleansing.. But can they force the population to leave??? And do they the time before the war expands to thoroughly neutralize Hamas?? And the Palestinians and Yemenis haven’t shown their cards yet. All that has been achieved to date is thorough exposure of local Quislings, fellow-traveller supranationalists and Zionists in arab garb, without fealty to faith, kin or neighborliness. And this was well known to the discerning since at least WW1

      What problems did the IDF encounter after the start of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip: analysis of the Military Chronicle

      As the Israeli Ground Forces advance deeper into the neighborhoods of the Gaza Strip, problems are revealed that the IDF, apparently, was not ready to solve initially.

      How is Israel’s ground operation going?
      In general, the pace of IDF combat operations inside Gaza Strip neighborhoods remains low. As we reported earlier, the emphasis is definitely on preserving the lives of soldiers, but at the same time there are difficulties both at the tactical level of command and control and at the operational level when planning further actions. The strategic intent of the operation remains the same: in the first phase of the ground operation, the IDF seeks to cut off the northern areas of Gaza – Jabaliya, Zeitoun, Al-Shati, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya – from the southern part of the enclave. However, as the plan is implemented, features appear that may prevent the operation from being carried out with minimal losses.

      Which?
      The IDF says Israeli forces have cut off Gaza City and northern areas from southern neighborhoods, but clearing the inner-city areas appears unlikely at this time. First of all, this is influenced by the tactics of using IDF armored vehicles – Israeli troops use Merkava Mk.4 tanks and Namer armored personnel carriers in isolation from the infantry. This allows the Palestinians to target vehicles with RPGs and homemade bombs. This led to the fact that in less than a month of fighting, the IDF could lose from 30 to 45 units of heavy equipment, which has never happened before in recent history. At the same time, the tactics of the IDF infantry units do not change and gradually entail an increase in losses: ground troops do not move forward without the cover of armored vehicles, but the equipment also cannot act in isolation from the infantry, since it immediately comes under fire from Palestinians with RPGs. As we move deeper into the neighborhoods, the situation worsens: if the defeat of Israeli equipment on the Al-Rashid coastal highway can still be attributed to inexperienced crews and the lack of situational awareness systems, then in dense urban areas, crews of tanks and armored personnel carriers cannot view the terrain more than 50-100 m This gives Hamas an advantage and allows it to hit armored vehicles at close range – 20-50 m.

      What conclusions can be drawn?
      First, there is currently no alternative to the IDF advancing inside urban areas. Air strikes do not bring the desired effect. Secondly, the current number of Israeli troops may not be enough to clear all city blocks, since the full implementation of all tasks may require several hundred units of heavy equipment at a time, and to advance according to previously announced plans, several thousand tanks and armored personnel carriers may be required. The accumulation of such a quantity of equipment on narrow city streets could lead to even greater losses than now, after which the IDF generals and the countryโ€™s political leadership could find themselves at the fork in the road of two equally serious decisions: either curtail the operation in urban areas, or continue (and possibly expand her), neglecting losses.

      Very interesting article of the ‘Tikkun Olam'(repair the world) stuff from the eighties…

      “A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties”
      by Oded Yinon (with a foreword by, and translated by Israel Shahak)
      http://www.defenddemocracy.press/a-strategy-for-israel-in-the-nineteen-eighties/
      Foreword :
      The following essay represents, in my opinion, the accurate and detailed plan of the present Zionist regime (of Sharon and Eitan) for the Middle East which is based on the division of the whole area into small states, and the dissolution of all the existing Arab states. I will comment on the military aspect of this plan in a concluding note. Here I want to draw the attention of the readers to several important points:

      1. The idea that all the Arab states should be broken down, by Israel, into small units, occurs again and again in Israeli strategic thinking.

      2. The strong connection with Neo-Conservative thought in the USA is very prominent, especially in the authorโ€™s notes. To make an Imperial Israel into a world power. In other words, the aim of Sharon is to deceive the Americans after he has deceived all the rest.

      3. The plan follows faithfully the geopolitical ideas current in Germany of 1890-1933, which were swallowed whole by Hitler and the Nazi movement, and determined their aims for East Europe. Those aims, especially the division of the existing states, were carried out in 1939-1941, and only an alliance on the global scale prevented their consolidation for a period of time.

      To briefly assess the current situation with the war in Palestine, then:

      1. Hamas is winning at the tactical level.
      2. Israel is making progress at the operational level.
      3. Iran wins in grand strategy.

      https://sputniknews.in/20231106/pm-modi-calls-raisi-urges-for-early-restoration-of-peace-between-israel-and-palestine—5276167.html
      Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday had a phone conversation with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in which the two leaders discussed the escalating crisis in the Middle East. During his discussion with the Iranian leader, Modi called upon Israel and Hamas to end hostilities in the region to pave the way for the restoration of “early peace” there.
      “Good exchange of perspectives with President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi on the difficult situation in West Asia and the Israel-Hamas conflict. Terrorist incidents, violence and loss of civilian lives are serious concerns. Preventing escalation, ensuring continued humanitarian aid and early restoration of peace and stability are important,” Modi said on X, previously Twitter.

      https://en.mehrnews.com/news/208036/Iran-India-call-for-halt-to-Zionist-regime-s-attacks-on-Gaza
      Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have called for a halt to the Zionist Israeli regime’s aggression on Gaza, lifting of the blockade on the enclave and sending humanitarian aid.

      During a phone call with Modi on Monday, Raeisi said that Iran advocates any global collective effort for an immediate ceasefire, lifting the blockade and providing humanitarian aid to the oppressed Palestinians. Referring to the recent crimes committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza, President Raisi noted that Palestinian resistance groups have a legitimate right to confront the occupation of the usurping regime.
      Touching on the Indian nationโ€™s history of fights against Western colonialism and its position as one of the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement in the world, Raeisi underlined that India is expected to leverage all its capacities to end Zionist crime against the oppressed people in Palestine.
      The Iranian President termed Iran-India ties as strategic and stressed the need to plan for bolstering cooperation and redressing backwardness in this regard.

      Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “India insists on stopping these attacks and reopening the crossings to send humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.”
      Referring to the diplomatic efforts to end the bombardment on Gaza and also to prevent the spread of the crisis to other parts of the region, the Prime Minister of India said that “today we all have a duty to do everything we can to end the killing of women and children in Gaza and to help them. In this regard, we consider the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran to be very important and effective.”

      โšก๏ธIsraeli newspaper Times of Israel : With Erdogan impossible to deal with, but Fahrettin Altun must be dealt with immediately! He is the most dangerous and effective in Erdogan’s team.

      The effectiveness of Turkey’s role in the media sphere leads to strong hatred from the Zionist regime government. They believe that Turkey is one of the main culprits, which has created an effective information force throughout the world: Africa, Europe, the CIS, the Muslim world and even Latin America.

      โœ… Here are theses from a pro-Zionist newspaper in Israel:
      ๐Ÿ”นTurkey is trying a new strategy in its relations with Israel, different from past diplomatic crises.
      ๐Ÿ”นTurkey is waging a serious campaign against Israel on an international scale, supporting the Palestinians. And in different countries at a time.
      ๐Ÿ”นWhile Turkey has refrained from imposing any specific sanctions against Israel, there has been a relentless national and international smear campaign through both social and conservative media.
      ๐Ÿ”นAt the forefront of this strategy is communications director Altun, a key mastermind who not only attends the most secret meetings with Erdogan, but also occupies a position closest to the Turkish president.
      ๐Ÿ”นIn fact, Professor Altun runs the Turkish Communications Directorate, a well-organized propaganda office with government resources, a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars, hundreds of employees and an international network. And he does it very skillfully.
      ๐Ÿ”นAltun initiated all Turkish campaigns based on a message claiming that Israel committed genocide in Gaza and systematically killed civilians.
      ๐Ÿ”นTurkish, English and Arabic broadcasts from TRT and Anadolu Agency, affiliated with the Communications Directorate, are drawing attention to the massacres carried out by the Israeli army and raising people in different parts of the world against Israel.
      ๐Ÿ”นOne of Erdoganโ€™s main shortcomings in the past was the anti-Semitic subtext in his rhetoric. Altun, however, successfully steered ErdoฤŸan’s discourse away from anti-Semitic statements and into a wholly anti-Israel trajectory.
      ๐Ÿ”นThe most significant asset of the Office of Communications under Altun’s leadership is undoubtedly the conservative media.
      ๐Ÿ”นIn a strategic move, Altun is positioning Turkey as a focal point, using Turkey’s largest news network, Anadolu Agency, the country’s main television network TRT (Turkish Radio Television Corporation) and the regional channels TRT Arab and TRT World, which are under its control.
      ๐Ÿ”นTurkish reporters associated with the Anadolu Agency (AA) and the Turkish Television and Radio Corporation (TRT) constantly pay negative attention to Israeli soldiers (who commit the massacre ed.) and all this is disseminated in the media in Turkish, English and Arabic.
      ๐Ÿ”นThe Altoona Center for Countering Disinformation strategically uses publications in English, Turkish and Arabic to conduct psychological operations against Israel on social networks.
      ๐Ÿ”นIt is impossible to overthrow President Erdogan, but Fahrettin Altun and his team must be stopped immediately. [Turk media has a global presence. It even started a French broadcast in the African Sahel…]

      โšก๏ธThe UAE-based Al Arabiya channel conveys Israel’s agenda: ” The area I circled is where the Hamas command center is located, as well as Shifa Hospital .” Let us remind you that Shifa Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in the Gaza Strip where thousands of wounded patients are being treated.. Based on: Daily Islamist [video]

      โšก๏ธIslamic Resistance in Iraq: Within the context of responding to the crimes of the zionist occupation and its aggression on Gaza under American leadership and management, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq reveals today, Monday, for the first time the entry into service of a medium-range missile of the “Aqsa 1” model. It was launched to target the American occupation bases in Iraq and Syria in some of the resistanceโ€™s operations, and Allah prevails over His affair.
      ๐Ÿ”น@Middle East Spectator: The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announces that they have started using an SRBM named ‘Al-Aqsa 1’ in attacks against U.S. bases. This ballistic missile seems to be a derivative of the Iranian Fath 360, with a shorter range of about 120km as well as a reduced payload.
      โšก๏ธ๐Ÿšจ As a result the blockage of roads due to the intense zionist aggression, Al-Quds Hospital in Tal Al-Hawa, #Gaza City has been brought out of service completely. Earlier today, the IOF bombed Al-Shifa Hospital’s top floor and the vicinity of Indonesian Hospital. Al-Quds Hospital is the 17th hospital in #Gaza to be taken out of service since October 7th, out of a total of 35 hospitals. 51 out of 72 health centers have also been taken out of service.
      โšก๏ธIslamic Resistance in Iraq: The fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted four bases of the American occupation in six attacks. Three of these targeted the “Ain Al-Assad” base in western Iraq, one for the occupation base near Erbil airport in northern Iraq, and one each for the bases of “Tal al-Baydar” in northern Syria and “Al-Tanf” in southern Syria since dawn today and at different times, using appropriate weapons that directly hit their targets.
      โšก๏ธ๐Ÿšจ The Pentagon announces that 45 US soldiers sustained injuries during resistance attacks carried out in Iraq and Syria. [Headaches again?

      โšก๏ธRafah crossing re-opens for limited evacuations from Gaza. Dozens of foreign passport holders and some medical evacuees passed through the Rafah crossing from Gaza into Egypt on Monday after evacuations resumed following a two-day suspension.

      The Gaza border authority had said earlier that Egyptians and foreign citizens already on pre-approved lists issued since last Wednesday would be allowed through the crossing, the only exit from Gaza that does not border Israel. Passage of foreign nationals and dependents, as well as injured Gazans, had ceased on Saturday after an Israeli strike on an ambulance in Gaza.

      The flow of aid trucks, which enter Gaza through the crossing, had slowed to 25 trucks on Sunday from a high of 102 trucks on Thursday. After evacuations resumed on Monday about 80 dual nationals and 17 medical evacuees had left through Rafah, with 48 aid trucks crossing in the other direction.

      This is by far the worst outbreak of violence in terms of casualty numbers, in one month, over 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, compared to around 1,500 Israelis (according to official data)

      This is comparatively much, much worse compared to the Second Intifada which occurred between the years of 2000 and 2005, and the First Intifada, which occurred between 1987 and 1993, combined, these two events only have over 6,600 dead over a time span of 11 years.

      Even if you add in other events, including the war of 2014 and the 2021 Clashes, you would only end up with an additional 2,700 dead, combined, that is over 9,300 dead, still not surpassing over 1 month of brutal fighting.

      The 2023 war in Gaza is objectively one of the worst conflicts the Palestinians have gone through, and are going through at the moment, and that is only the first month of the war, and Israel does not seem interested in a ceasefire.

      The figures are harrowing, and remember that behind every number, there was a grown man who wished to provide for his family, or fight for his land, or a child, or a woman.

      This is being done to avoid further bombings targeting medical convoys. Yesterday, ICRC staff monitored a convoy of four vehicles transporting seriously wounded people from Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City to the Rafah border crossing.

      After an Israeli strike on a convoy of ambulances, the checkpoint remained temporarily closed. By its actions, Israel made it clear that it does not intend to allow the wounded to be removed from the sector. This prompted Egypt to close the crossing and deny entry to foreign nationals and dual citizens.

      Two days ago, Israeli forces attacked a convoy of wounded in ambulances that was about to depart from Al-Shifa Hospital in the western Gaza Strip to the Rafah crossing for onward transport to Egypt. The missile strike killed 15 people and injured more than 60 others.

      It is worth adding that after delivering the wounded to the Egyptian field hospital, ambulances were not allowed to return to the Gaza Strip.

      โšก๏ธ”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be preparing for a “long and difficult war,” but former Prime Minister Ehud Barak fears Israel has only weeks left to destroy Hamas as public opinion on the Gaza operation shifts, threatening the authorities with a clash with Washington. The politician, who served as Israel’s prime minister from 1999 to 2001, observed that the rhetoric of U.S. officials has changed in recent days. A chorus of voices calling for a “humanitarian pause” in the IDF operation has formed, he said.
      The former prime minister is concerned that the sympathy for Israel from the world community, which was evident immediately after Oct. 7, is gradually waning. “The window is closing before our eyes. Everything is heading toward the point where we will have friction with the Americans over the Gaza operation. America cannot dictate to Israel what to do. But we can’t ignore her,” he said, pointing to Washington’s role as Israel’s main security guarantor. – We will have to accept U.S. demands in the next two to three weeks, perhaps less.”
      He said it would take several months to a year to destroy Hamas. Barak, however, pointed to the fact that Western support is waning because of the number of civilian casualties in Gaza and fears that the IDF operation is provoking a larger and even more catastrophic war in the region. “We are losing the support of European society in Europe, and in a week or two we will start losing the support of the authorities in European countries. And in another week the friction with the Americans will come to the surface,” Barak warned.””

      Forwarded from Older than Edda:
      Israel’s main problem in the current war is the need to greatly and permanently increase the size of its armed forces. Even with American aid, this is by no means cheap: aid may give a lot, but it does not provide people, and the people the army has extracted from the civilian economy consume resources but do not produce them.

      In the 1970s, the swelling of the army, combined with external processes, despite US assistance, led to a recession and soaring inflation, which turned into hyperinflation in the 1980s. The reduction of the army was one of the necessary steps made possible by the Camp David Accords of 1979, which established peace between Israel and Egypt. The subsequent settlement of relations with Jordan (agreement of 1994) and the stabilization of relations with Syria at the level of โ€œpredictable hostility without excessesโ€ made it possible to sharply reduce the regular army – the threat of war against the regular Arab armies was sharply reduced.

      Now it turns out that a large army is still needed, and โ€œpeacefulโ€ relations with Egypt, Jordan and Syria are not a guarantee in this turbulent world. Israel needs to build up its army, and here lies the risk of falling into the same trap again. At the same time, the United States today is not at all what it was in the eighties.

      The reason I did not even post their statement or their 24-hour notice is simple – I could smell the bullshit through the screen, I refuse to believe that I am the only one in this side of telegram who even served in the army, even as a low-level conscript, when I was in the army, I was not even allowed a fucking Nokia, now suddenly a highly group of organized officers and troops declare themselves to exist on Telegram? The internal Security of the PA would have hunted them down within the first two days, I assure you.

      And, as you all know, I try my best to report real news, not larpy shit, which is why I never posted it. Now, we have actual proof that this organization is at the very least extremely suspicious.

      Abu Jundal claimed responsibility for the shooting of Palestinian Authority soldiers today, which is categorically untrue, it is confirmed that drug dealers in Jalazon targeted PA soldiers due to a massive drug raid that happened to them, and thus, they shot 4 PA soldiers, and they all tried to make it appear that Abbas, the head of the PA, was around – the man was not even in the city.

      One thing, the statement was published after it was first posted by a Palestinian “opposition page” 3 minutes later, which means it was coordinated since this came out of nowhere, the opposition page, Mesh Hek, is ran from Tel Aviv, according to its I.P.

      This is a blatant attempt of a fake and an attempt of the Israeli security organs to provoke civil war, disunity, and inner conflict between the Palestinian ranks.

      O Gaza, O Palestine,

      With our legions we have come,
      For dignity and empowerment.

      No, you are not alone,
      As long as Allah is with you,
      And our greatest aim is,
      To always stand by you.

      The zionist’s crimes,
      Hysterical and insane,
      No, by Allah, we haven’t forgotten,
      O Gaza, you shall not diminish.

      Expulsion of the “israelis,”
      And the West’s deception,
      From all our lands,

      Our axis is Islamic,
      A tsunami, a flood, a tidal wave,
      To take revenge from our invaders,
      And the assembly of criminality.

      Our call to action is religious,
      With purpose and intention,
      We face our Creator,
      Towards the Arab Al-Quds.

      Gaza, the title of truth,
      O you who seek justice, pursue it,
      In the arena we have arrived,
      To crush the occupier and vanquish them.

      Our strength is from the Almighty,
      Like the extending hand,
      In the nocturnal journey, you will meet us,
      Our first Qibla.

      The city is cut off. Hamas has no particular chance of restoring communication with Gaza on the surface. Underground communication is most likely maintained through tunnels.

      Judging by the emphasis on the fighting on the coast, the IDF will likely try to advance along the coast (taking advantage of the fact that Hamas is unlikely to have its strongest fortifications there) in order to physically surround the city, cutting it off from the sea (including so that Hamas could not send naval saboteurs from Gaza along the coast).

      Hamas, in turn, will rely on drawing the IDF into exhausting urban battles, where it can expect to inflict significant losses on the enemy in men and equipment. Hamas’s task at the current stage is to delay resistance as much as possible, since time is against Israel.

      โ€”
      The Popular Front warns: The situation in the strip is catastrophic, and the risk of famine is approaching; we hold the international community [West] and Arab silence responsible.

      The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has warned that the current living conditions in the strip, resulting from the continued war of genocide, brutal bombing, and siege, have reached the brink of total collapse, which heralds a real disaster, especially in the north of the Gaza Strip and Gaza City.

      The Front confirmed that the continuation of the criminal occupation’s siege of the sector by land, air, and sea, closing the crossings, and preventing the entry of medicine, medical supplies, and fuel, and systematically and criminally cutting off water and bombing desalination stations, targeting fuel and solar energy stations, bakeries, hospitals, and shelters, brings the strip closer to the risk of famine, the spread of epidemics and diseases, and to an environmental disaster due to thousands of tons of explosives and white phosphorus dropped on the strip amid international complicity and Arab silence.

      The Front added that our people in the strip, especially thousands of displaced people in shelters and homes, have become unable to obtain potable water; due to the scarcity of water and the cessation of desalination plants due to the power outage. Moreover, the continued prevention of fuel threatens the lives of thousands of patients, especially those suffering from chronic diseases such as kidney and cancer, and threatens the lives of thousands of unborn children.

      The Front held the international community, the so-called free world, and Arab silence responsible for the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the sector due to their complicity or inability to stop the aggression, or at least to open the crossings and allow the entry of medicine, relief materials, and fuel into the sector, stressing that the sector is going through an unprecedented humanitarian disaster that needs urgent intervention, and the enforcement of opening the crossings around the clock, and ensuring the flow of all aid without restrictions from the occupation to avoid a real catastrophe.

      The Front said, “It is a shame that the inability of Arab brethren to save the children of Gaza from hunger and the sick from death continues through serious steps that lead to breaking the siege and bringing in aid, and strengthening the resilience of the people of Gaza against the zionist war machine supported by America. It is also shameful that fuel is prevented from the strip while Arab countries are the largest exporters of oil in the world, and it is reprehensible that Arab countries continue to supply Western countries complicit in the aggression on Gaza with oil and natural gas, while fuel is prevented from the bereaved in the Gaza Strip!!”.

      The Front concluded its statement by affirming that the starvation war practiced by the zionist enemy in full partnership with the American enemy will not break the will and resilience of our people, and they will not raise the white flag, even if they are exposed to hunger and extermination, and they will inevitably triumph over this criminal enemy and the complicit system with it.

      โญ• The Prisoners and ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club stated that extremely alarming data has been received about raids and extensive brutalization operations conducted in the prisoners’ sections of Nafha prison, during which the repression forces used stun grenades and gas.

      The data about the wide-scale raids on Nafha prison and the accompanying collective assaults on the prisoners are part of a series of raids that affected all prisoners in the occupation jails over a full month and are significantly escalating.

      The Commission and the Club stated that the likelihood of more martyrs rising in the prisons is increasing, especially since the level of torture and brutalization operations that reach the institutions through prisoners and detainees who were recently released from prisons, as well as from some lawyers who managed to visit, confirm what we previously declared that the occupation adopts these measures to kill the prisoners and carry out premeditated assassination operations against them.

      In this context, the Commission and the Prisoner’s Club stated: “We will not appeal to the incapacitated international human rights institutions to make an impact in the face of these crimes, in the face of the comprehensive aggression against our people, the ongoing extermination in Gaza, and in the face of the complicity of international powers and their support for the occupation’s crimes.

      What we only affirm is our call for the free people in the world who have come out in support of the Palestinian right, to continue their support to raise our voice.”

      However, the intensive bombardment and shelling by air, land and sea are very damaging to Israel’s image and cause it to lose both the information war and world opinion. [Global Zionists are in zugzwang. The imperative to expand and consolidate requires a larger war, being triggered by enraging atrocities and genocide.

      I really wonder at the refusal of NATO to send cannon fodder foot-soldier infantry into Gaza! Just local incompetent and cowardly zionists being torched inside tanks, and some patrols at night using night vision. This is highly inefficient and would take them many months to clear. They seem to lack the equivalent of the drugged Ukie zombies marching into the meatgrinder. Yet they’ve brought legions of NATO troops and mercs too. Why not use them en masse to speed it up? They ARE losing some foreign mercs, announced by Hamas in last days. But have too many been lost in 404? Is NATO having a dire manpower shortage?? God Bless the Russians and their outstanding pruning work in 404.


      โ˜๏ธโ˜๏ธโ˜๏ธ The same USS Florida sub near Iran right now may have also fired some of the Tomahawks against Syria in 2013… most intercepted by various means by Russia/Syria. It was also involved against Libya in 2011, likely firing its 100 Tomahawks under Russian surveillance with its footprint in Libya. Given coordination between Russia and Iran right now, this should prove advantageous to Iran’s air defense, in tandem with many lessons learned of NATO tactics and missile use in the SMO…

Already isolated, its future bleak, it uses the last energies of the Hegemon to grab gas and oil off Gaza, consolidate Golani water and petroleum, steal the Litani river water, and obtain more arable land from around the fertile Nile.

      Analysis by Military Chronicle:
      The urban fighting between Hamas and the IDF in the Gaza Strip is remarkable for several reasons:

      โ–ช๏ธFirstly, it is clearly visible that Israeli army units are under the supervision of Palestinian militants. Hamas actively uses civilian drones for both air control and airdrops. Indirectly, this suggests that the IDF still does not use electronic warfare systems or uses them extremely limitedly.
      โ–ช๏ธSecondly, it is noteworthy that IDF tank forces still do not practice dispersal of forces and prefer to keep equipment in large groups of 10-15 units, which makes it easier for Hamas to destroy it.
      โ–ช๏ธThirdly, it is clearly visible that there is no disorganization in the actions of Hamas, despite the presence of Israeli troops inside the Gaza Strip. The infantry fires at equipment and personnel, actively maneuvers between buildings and fires from grenade launchers from a distance of up to 150-200 meters.
      โ–ช๏ธFourthly, the IDFโ€™s tactics are clearly visible. Ground troops move separately, tanks and equipment move separately. There is no mutual cover, as there was with units of the US Marine Corps during the battles in Iraq. The equipment moves from block to block, which slows down the operation and gives Hamas time to regroup.

      It is also curious that in some cases, Hamas goes behind the rear of advancing Israeli troops. Indirectly, this suggests that a significant part of the Hamas tunnels under the Gaza Strip are still functioning and allow Palestinians to move safely.

      Marari recalled that the State of Palestine is a member of the ICC according to the decision of February 5, 2021. The jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court extends to all Palestinian territories, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.

      โ€œThe International Criminal Court has jurisdiction as long as one of the parties is a victim,โ€ Marari added.

      He also recalled that the International Court of Justice, as well as the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, previously stated that Israel does not have the right to use Article 51 of the UN Charter for self-defense, since it is an occupying state.

      From the heart of the Al-Aqsa Flood Flood on its 33rd day, we announce, with the help of Allah the Almighty, the continuation of our fighters fight and confrontation of the zionist aggression on all areas of the enemy’s ground maneuver in the northwest of Gaza City, in the south of Gaza City, and in the northern Gaza Strip.

      With Allah’s help, since the beginning of the zionist ground aggression until now, our fighters have destroyed 136 military vehicles completely or partially, rendering them out of service from the forces that this trembling enemy has pushed into a part of the Gaza Strip.

      These vehiclesโ€”which are capable of occupying a large, sprawling, and full-fledged countryโ€”are pushed by the enemy to a front that has no tanks, no planes, no armored vehicles, and not even a mountain or plateau or difficult terrain.

      An army described as the strongest in the region pushes a massive armored force and alleged elite units supported from land, sea, and air in the face of fierce fighters created in the eyes of Allah, striking their enemy with the power of Allah and with faith, valor, and unprecedented courage in modern history. Thus, the fighters destroy the vehicles and cause numerous deaths and injuries among the enemy’s infiltrating forces.

      Despite the enemy’s avoidance of complete engagement with our fighters and its attempt to destroy stone and tree, kill human beings, crush buildings and facilities, and even kill animals in a brutal manner resembling the myths that the zionists were raised on to gain the world’s sympathy and cry and show misery before it, so true is the word of Allah the Almighty: “You strike more terror into their hearts than Allah. That is because they are a people who do not understand.”

      Despite the massacres and the barbaric bombing that primarily targets civilians and civilian facilities in a war crime before a world governed by the law of the jungle, weโ€”by the grace of Allahโ€”maneuver with our elite forces of our fighters, outflanking to strike the enemy in its rear lines, setting up ambushes for them and their tanks. Our fighters destroy their vehicles from point-blank range and within the effective range of anti-armor and anti-personnel weapons, as well as buildings where the soldiers are holed up.

      The sniper unit continues to target soldiers, and the artillery wing bombards their gatherings with mortar shells and rockets.

      33 days after the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, and based on the above, we confirm the following:
      First, the bravery and courage that our fighters possess in the field to repel the aggression and defeat the Nazi invaders is a pride for every Arab, Muslim, and free person in the world.
      โญ•Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades military spokesman Abu Obeida (2/2):
      โ€”
      With Allahโ€™s help, in the coming minutes, we will display a part of the greatness of our fighters and their combat against the enemy, their combat with its vehicles and soldiers fortified in buildings, and their hunting of tanks and their destruction. This is but a small fraction of what our fighters have done and continue to do in the field with the strength and company of Allah.

      The file of the prisoners is still present with us in the details of this battle. We renew our confirmation that the only clear path for this cause is a deal to exchange prisoners completely or in parts. We have female prisoners in our prisons and the occupation holds our women captives. We have civilian, sick, and elderly prisons in the enemy’s prisons. We hold prisoners of the same categories with us. We have fighters and resistance members in the occupation’s prisons, and the enemy has our fighting soldiers as prisoners.

      There is absolutely no solution to the prisoners’ file except through this path and exchange, whether categorically or as a comprehensive operation. Moreover, we still affirm that the enemy, which continues the aggression and refuses to facilitate the conditions for their release, is the one obstructing and sabotaging all efforts to deliver the detainees of foreign nationalities, and even exposing their lives and the lives of their captives to imminent danger every hour and every day.

      The enemy thwarted a few days ago the release of 12 of those with foreign nationalities. The large number of dead among the prisoners and detainees, those still under the rubble, and those undergoing treatment standing between life and death, are nothing but evidence of this enemy’s arrogance and confusion.\

      The duty of the time is to support our people by all means and not to submit to the Nazi occupation that is empowered by the American-zionist administration.

      What this cowardly enemy fears most is the renaissance of our people and the nations of our ummah and its resistance forces, foremost of course our Palestinian people in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the lands of occupied Palestine in 1948. The world watches how the occupation exploits this war to affirm its fascist, racist mentality and its desire to displace our people in the West Bank, to continue killing them and assaulting them, and to try to liquidate the entire Palestinian issue.

      Mobilize, O fighters of our people, and O our masses in all the land of Palestine, with the to crush this zionist plan, as you have always been the graveyard for the dreams of the foolish leaders of this enemy. We say, salute to our people who stand steadfast on their land, refusing displacement and deportation, who stand as a thorn in the throat of the occupying zionists, entrenched in the face of a brutal force thirsty for blood who will record in its memory and on its account bill this holocaust and the massacres committed by the enemy. It will continue to be, as it has been since 1948, a curse, fire, and destruction upon this enemy.

      We give the occupation the good news of an upcoming phase of rage and resistance in the West Bank, Gaza, and Al-Quds, and on all fronts and fields, with the help of Allah Almighty. We continue our resistance to this aggression on all fronts, and our fighters are lying in wait for the enemy.

      Does any Country have the right to invade Israel, occupy it, and enforce order and peace?
      https://aftershock.news/?q=node/1309008
      โ–ช๏ธFrom the point of view of international law and the UN, the Gaza Strip is an Israeli-occupied territory, which Western politicians and experts call nothing more than a concentration camp and an open-air prison.
      โ–ช๏ธIsrael occupied the West Bank of the Jordan River during the treacherous aggression of 1967, and since 1948, it has been under the jurisdiction of Jordan. Back then, the Zionists seized East Jerusalem (Jordan), the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula (Egypt), the Syrian Golan Heights and the water on them. It was a classic “war of choice”, the main goals are as follows: expansion of living space, annexation of Lake Tiberias (Golan), re-access to the strategically important Suez Canal, previously this was done during another war of conquest in 1956, referred to in Israeli historiography as Operation Kadesh. The Egyptians managed to regain Sinai only 15 years later in 1982 as a result of a diplomatic process, but the rest was appropriated and occupied by the Zionists. Absolutely all the activities of Israel and Jewish settlers grossly violate international law and many binding UN Security Council resolutions.
      โ–ช๏ธThe Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 August 1949 prohibits the occupying party from transferring its civilian population to its occupied territory, but Israel is in grave violation of this Convention, as well as all international law. Currently, approximately 1.1 million Jewish civilian occupiers (1, 2, 3) live in the occupied territories of Palestine, they occupy the city of Jerusalem and the West Bank of the Jordan River(WBI) territories, 164 illegal settlements and 146 illegal outposts have been established, which even contradict Israeli law, since they are based on private or public land. This million-strong contingent is under the protection of numerous occupation forces.
      โ–ช๏ธSince 2002, the occupation regime has been erecting a 712-kilometer-long barrier around the WBI, commonly referred to as the”Apartheid Wall”. To date, the construction of 65% of the plan has been completed, including a powerful fence, concrete blocks 8 meters high, observation towers and a network of checkpoints, as a result of which almost 10% of Palestinian land (from the so-called “green Line” of 1967) is confiscated, and about 60 thousand people are cut off from the West Bank of the Jordan River.
      โ–ช๏ธOn July 9, 2004, at the request of the UN General Assembly, the International Court of Justice, the main judicial organ of the United Nations, issued an advisory opinion on the legal consequences of the construction of a wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory of WBI. Here’s the main thing:

      “The construction of the wall being constructed by Israel, the occupying Power, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and the associated regime are contrary to international law;
      Israel has an obligation to put an end to its violations of international law, and it has an obligation to immediately stop the construction of the wall;
      Israel is obligated to make compensation for all damage caused by the construction of the wall;
      The United Nations, and especially the General Assembly and the Security Council, should consider what further measures are needed to end the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the wall and impose the associated regime, with due regard to the present advisory opinion.”

      โ–ช๏ธLet me remind you that since 1948, the Zionists have violated more than 30 binding UN Security Council resolutions, logically and according to the UN Charter, Israel’s exclusion from the UN should have followed, global suffocating sanctions, both against the DPRK and terrorist organizations, as well as the introduction of an international contingent of troops that would force the aggressor to observe order by force of arms and peace.

      โ–ช๏ธTherefore, any country, relying on numerous UN Security Council resolutions, has the right to invade Israel, occupy it, and force it to comply with the decisions of the international community.

      What international order?
      by Thierry Meyssan
      https://www.voltairenet.org/article219965.html
      “We reproduce the text of Thierry Meyssanโ€™s speech in Magdeburg (Germany), at the conference organized by the magazine Compact, “Amitiรฉ avec la Russie” , on November 4, 2023. In it, he explains what, in his view, constitutes the fundamental difference between the two conceptions of the world order now clashing from the Donbass to Gaza: that of the Western bloc and that to which the rest of the world refers. The question is not whether this order should be dominated by one power (unipolar) or by a group of powers (multipolar), but whether or not it should respect the sovereignty of each. He draws on the history of international law, as conceived by Tsar Nicholas II and Nobel Peace Prize winner Lรฉon Bourgeois.”

      “Then they say, by virtue of their power moves, that this has become the custom. However, the Russian Federation, considering itself under siege, has also violated the Non-Proliferation Treaty and installed atomic bombs on the territory of Belarus. Of course, Belarus is not Cuba. Placing Russian nuclear bombs there changes nothing. Itโ€™s just a message sent to Washington: if you want to re-establish the Law of the Strongest, we can accept that too, except that, from now on, weโ€™re the strongest.”

      โ€œ[They continued] until, when the messengers despaired and were certain that they had been denied, there came to them Our victory, and whoever We willed was saved. And Our punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are criminals.โ€
      This is the truth of Allah Almighty.

      The enemy, and those who supported and were allied with them, thought that they could destroy Gaza or destroy its solidity and its social fabric with the multitude of their crimes and their persistence in revenge against children, women and civilians, instead of confronting him man to man, as the sons of the resistance did when they trampled on the necks of its soldiers and leaders and destroyed the entire Gaza Division, which was already equipped and prepared to fight in Gaza.

      The enemy knows full well that the resistance did not exert force against civilians, nor against children, nor against women. On the contrary, this war will end, and the occupation public will know that its army committed massacres against the so-called civilians in the Gaza envelope on October 7. Instead of protecting the hostages and seeking their safe exit, [the enemy] was the one who unleashed its tanks and planes to kill everything: resistance fighters, hostages, civilians and children. This enemy is fully prepared to kill โ€œisraeliโ€ children and women and bomb โ€œisraeliโ€ prisoners just to determine their location rather than ruin the image that it wants to promote to the international community. This will be revealed as soon as this battle ends and the investigation committees begin that will isolate the failure Netanyahu and the dwarves of his government with him.

      The occupation public must drag Ben-Gvir through the streets of the entity because he caused them this defeat. This dwarf is the one who indulged in the desecration of Al-Aqsa, and he is the one who armed and directed the settlers to further increase their crimes in the West Bank, which required the resistance in Gaza to stand up to its national responsibility in defending the women who were dragged in the alleys of Al-Quds and the sanctities that were desecrated.

The enemy has fallen into the mud of Gaza and its shifting sands, and no power in the world can get it out from this mire.

      We say to the few who began to speculate about the isolation of the resistance in Gaza and its defeat, we say to you: no way, [this is far-fetched]. The resistance will stand victorious, tall, with its head raised, and you will have shame and disgrace. We put the barrels of the destroyed tanks in your behinds, God willing.

The data is on sale for a nominal price on the DarkNet. 60% of Israeli air force pilots are American, German and Polish. [Happy hunting! Doxx the bastards fully. Bring the war to the pilots.

      I dunno, didja see https://scheerpost.com/2023/11/05/israels-final-solution-for-the-palestinians/ย ย  essay.

      Reprisal against pilots, if the ID story is true…well, that sort of thing happens…but it carries a heavy secondary and unpredictable quality too > it tends to amplify or create gain, focus…in ways nobody can predict.

      Since the ICC is involved, however, the bailiffs may arrest… ultimately a question of power in the ethical arena. Arrest. yewbetcha… laid the bet with Stumpy. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      The movements in last days of the enemy camp focused on extracting themselves from the unmitigated catastrophe in Gaza. They can only kill civilians and obliterate infrastructure. The Resistance not only remains entrenched, but even before they fully enter into the urbanized (rubblized) sectors, is able to sally forth and attrit them to an astonishing degree.

      And they are already terrified before entering into the rubblized warrens.

      They cannot attack on ground, nor evict the Resistance, deeply lodged and eager for the confrontation, nor get the population to leave. Evidentally most north Gazans still remain in north Gaza, in spite of psyops to date. A Hamas leader said yesterday only 25% had moved south into South Gaza (!!) The steadfastedness of Palestinians is beyond belief and terrifying all enemy onlookers (zionist, western, arab/turk compradores) on this account alone. They really have become the People of the Trench. The combined western enemy is in an absolute agony.

      So the desperate CIA chief, Blinken, the Dutch PM have been engaged in shuttle diplomacy to Qatar, regional compradores, Turkey – to find a local fig-leaf, to replace Hamas as occupying power in Gaza as their face-saving mechanism and way out of total loss, to no result. They are not being helped in extracting themselves at all. All regionals are terrified of the fire lit in the Palestinians. They know they themselves will be annihilated if they enter into Gaza as bodyguards for the combined West. Being “muslim” (hypocrites in reality) will NOT save them. All branches of Palestinians swore on this point.

      So what will the dying zionist and western plagues on humanity do?? Perhaps, this is where escalation to a larger regional war helps their futile cause. It will at least take focus off Gaza, permitting continuation of genocide, undisturbed by global pressures. Armageddon will tend to distract a lot of folks indeed with the larger issues.

      When Cultural and Economic Hegemony Fails Violence Tends to Follow:
      https://rogerboyd.substack.com/p/when-cultural-and-economic-hegemony
      Gramsci posited that as capitalist elite cultural hegemony fails, that elite will turn to greater levels of compulsion and state violence to remain in power; fascism. We are already seeing ever greater levels of state and private censorship, such as the banning of pro-Palestinian voices from YouTube together with state security forces attempts to disrupt and arrest pro-Palestinian demonstrators and label such voices as โ€œantisemiticโ€ and espousing โ€œhate speechโ€.

      “Can the US and Western elites resign themselves to a multipolar world where they may have to accept the remit of international law rather than their self-serving โ€œLiberal International Orderโ€ and a significantly lesser global role? After five centuries of Western dominance such a world will require a huge adjustment to the self-image of Western elites and the general populace that has been extensively propagandized with beliefs in Western civilizational superiority; echoed in the differential treatment of the deaths of โ€œEuropeanโ€ Israelis and Arab Palestinians. It will also require an acceptance of a significantly reduced ability to exploit other nations, as France has recently had to accept with respect to Niger. These challenges may be too much to bear for the Western elites, and a turn to violence in the face of the continued loss of cultural and economic hegemony is still very much on the cards. The distractions and delays provided by the Trump presidency, the Afghanistan debacle, the Ukraine debacle, the Gaza conflict and the 2024 US elections, together with Chinese, Russian and Iranian patience and intelligent diplomacy, may be seen in the future as some of the main factors that forestalled a global war. Time is on the side of the other 7 billion.”

      Apparently today is a 911. Let’s pray the deviants don’t pull a FF or fast one. Many other occult dates in this month coming up too

      ๐Ÿ’ @Strategika51:
      โญ• A missile has just fallen in Eilat without causing an air alert and without anti-missile missile action. It’s either a missile fired from Yemen or Iraq.
      โญ• Morocco is the only country in the MENA region that has refused to criticize Israel or recall its diplomats from Tel Aviv. For a source close to Moroccan intelligence services, the question of Western Sahara takes precedence over the Palestinian question and Israel is a leading military ally (media)
      โญ• The Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank is in a situation of urban guerrilla warfare.
      The difference with Gaza is that in Jenin there are no weapons. The weapons you see in this video are weapons intended for the civilian market with calibers 222 and 223, at best semi-automatic. Many of his weapons are single-shot.ย [thanks to the Palestinian Authority which disarmed its people…]
      โญ• Missiles fired from Syria target Israeli military objectives in the occupied Golan. [these may be Palestinians or Iraqis or Hezbollah firing from Syrian territory. Syrian army appears uninvolved for now…]
      โญ• Palestinian rockets hit eight settlements near Gaza. [they still keep it up from within Gaza! Imagine their preparatory stocks..]
      โญ• The explosion in Eilat was not caused by a missile but by a kamikaze drone.
      โญ• A 74-year-old Palestinian man, sick and walking towards southern Gaza, was killed by an Israeli sniper near Netsarim. Eyewitnesses say it was a deliberate assassination.
      โญ• For the first time in four decades, voices are being raised in the Arab world against the very powerful feminist organizations, totally untouchable until now for their total silence in the face of the horrors experienced by women and their children in the besieged Gaza Strip.
      Critics long gagged when it came to confronting Arab feminists are beginning to emerge: “A word on the 55,000 women who lost their babies in Gaza or is your fight confined to more sexual freedom, castration of the male and have all the possible privileges without any merit or effort? Fuck you!โ€ launches a famous Arab influencer. These criticisms are completely unprecedented because Arab feminists have formidable power more than anywhere else in the world. [this is among what Crooke meant of a change in consciousness taking place. ALL contrived western paradigms and issues of division are being boiled away….]
      โญ• For those who don’t know yet, the two parallel blue bands of the Israeli flag represent the Nile and the Euphrates. It represents the idea of “erez Yisrael” or Greater Israel from the Nile (Egypt) to the Euphrates (Mesopotamia) and no one has ever found fault with it…
      In Germany, demonstrators who chanted “From the river (Jordan) to the sea (Mediterranean), Palestine will live” were prosecuted for aggravated terrorism.
      ๐Ÿ”น[commentator response:]
      The Israeli Health Ministry said 7,262 Israeli soldiers had been injured since October 7. This is very interesting because it can give us an idea of the losses. If there are more than 7,000 wounded, this means that in terms of death/wounded ratio we are often 1 to 3, so the Israeli government tells us that there could be at least 2,000 killed in these ranks. If we now correct these figures, because generally the toll provided by Israeli officials is always lowered, to at least 1/2, or even 1/3, that would mean that they would have at least 14,000 wounded, and at least 4,000 dead. . 4,000 dead is the figure that Strategika gave us a few weeks after the start of the conflict. And all this, while the Northern Front is still not open.
      We understand the impasse in which the state of Israel, and especially the US government, currently finds itself. At this sustained rate of losses, it will be necessary to send GI’s to replace the Israeli soldiers.
      However after the last and very controversial election of Biden, not sure that the US government will find enough volunteer GI’s to go and get butchered. The same in Europe, when we look at the popularity of Macron, of the British Prime Minister, and the infamous O Sholtz who in Europe wants to go and die for leaders in Israel who only talk about revenge, about Amalek, about nuclearizing Gaza.
      At this stage one thing is certain, for Israel there is no longer a military solution in Gaza, and the fear, the nightmare of the Israeli leaders is a counter-offensive by the Palestinians, this is the reason for the US obsession above all, not to lift the blockade, and to refuse the ceasefire.

      ๐Ÿ’ @Arab_Africa:
      โญ• Famous Egyptian TV presenter Amr Adib described on his social network page his attitude towards Hamas, apparently expressing the prevailing opinion among Arabs. โ€œIt seems that I am not yet mature enough to want reprisals against Hamas. Even despite my clear stance against the Muslim Brotherhood (banned in the Russian Federation) and despite what has happened to Hamas over the years, I cannot hide my sadness when a Hamas resistance fighter is killed or captured. Rather, I wish them resilience and dream of the day of Palestinian victory.
      Should I see a psychiatrist or contact any human development expert for this? Don’t know. I only know how I feel when I observe the operations of the Palestinian resistance and learn about Israeli losses. And I rather refuse to blame them (i.e. Hamas) or hold them accountable for actions that are extremely controversial and have no solution. Rather, I am calling for resistance, for Gaza and for Palestine to live.โ€

Who should we trust in this, a senile old 80 years old grandfather or the White House Spokesperson?ย [when WASN’T there infighting and byzantine imperial intrigue, always present in end-stages?]
      โญ• White House states that there will be a daily truce in North Gaza. The Truce will last for four hours every day, and it will only be limited to the North of the Gaza Strip. [what demons! So the southern sector, (1) to which funnel the people, and (2) which has the only open border crossing at Rafah — will continue to be bombed. This appears entirely a risible deception to get Hamas fighters to stop fighting in the currently critical northern sector so they can advance… sorry, not gonna work]
      โญ• Several drone and missile attacks on Eilat reported, no dead so far – only a religious Hebrew school was damaged alongside other facilities.
      โญ• A Hezbollah Missile has killed 1 Israeli and wounded 2 IDF soldiers, according to Hebrew Media outlets.
      โญ• The head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, has arrived in Cairo. He is the head of the HAMAS delegation from the movement and is going to meet with the director of the Egyptian General Intelligence Services, to discuss several events in the Gaza Strip.
      โญ• Important to note that before the Hamas delegation visited Egypt, the director of the CIA had visited Cairo, and before that, an Israeli diplomatic mission also visited Cairo, If I am going to take an educated guess, I think that everyone is getting together to finally draft a truce, or are holding some sort of negotiations regarding prisoners in Hamas custody.
      โญ• Saudi Arabia has FINALLY done something for Palestine, in terms of aid. The first Saudi plane landed in Al-Arish on the 9th of November, carrying 35 tons of Aid. They are now the last Arab state to have sent humanitarian aid to Gaza.
      โญ• A senior Biden administration official said the death toll of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is likely far higher than the 10,000 number being reported by the health ministry in Gaza, The Hill reports.

      โญ• Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova: The lists of Russian citizens to be evacuated from the Gaza Strip include many children โ€“ approximately 300 underage Russian nationals. They have been in a blockade there for a month.

      The United States took charge of the management of the Israeli reigmeโ€™s nuclear centers a few days after Hamas launched the Al-Aqsa Storm operation outside Gaza:
      https://en.mehrnews.com/news/208154/US-takes-control-of-Israeli-nuclear-plants-report
      Prior to the war on Gaza, the Israeli military, particularly its air force, was grappling with strikes which resulted in the dismissal of a number of top generals. Moreover, the growing discord between the Israeli regime’s so-called Security Agency (aka Shabak or the Shin Bet) and the regime’s far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, had gone public.

      After the Al-Aqsa Storm Operation, the rift and mistrust within the Israeli regime’s organizations became so critical that paralyzed their function and forced the Zionist leaders to plead for US help.

      Israeli regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a post on his X account last week, pointed the finger at the heads of the Zionist regimeโ€™s so-called security organizations for the defeat suffered during the Al-Aqsa Storm Operation, but was forced to remove his post nine hours later due to mounting pressures and escalating disagreements.

      Sources have told Tasnim that the threat of use of nukes against Gaza issued by a number of Zionist officials has been made in coordination with American officials.

      โญ• Syrian army fighters entered into a firefight with American troops east of the provincial center of Deir ez-Zor (420 km from Damascus). Al Mayadeen TV channel reported this. According to his information, the sides are using large-caliber machine guns, mortars, and artillery pieces. Clashes began in the Euphrates River area after an attack by the US Air Force on the eastern neighborhoods of Deir ez-Zor.
      โญ• At least 15 missiles were fired in the early morning of November 9 at a US military base located in the Al-Omar oil field in eastern Syria. As reported by Al Mayadeen TV channel, the Shiite movement “Islamic Resistance of Iraq” took responsibility for this attack.
      โญ• To make the sequence of events clear, the US attacked areas in Syria that they perceived to be used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. This then resulted in clashes between the SDF and American troops. Rocket strikes on US military bases also occurred.
      โญ• The influx of foreign mercenaries into the Armed Forces of Ukraine has decreased by more than half. According to Come and See , the flow of foreign mercenaries into the Ukrainian army began to dry up. โ€œIn general, more than twice as much as in the fall of last year,โ€ said the channelโ€™s source. According to him, this is due to high losses, corruption in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and lack of prospects.

      โ€œAn alternative hot spot has also emerged in Israel,โ€ he added.

      This information is indirectly confirmed by civilians in the Kharkov region. โ€œForeigners are almost invisible in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Itโ€™s becoming less and less common to hear Polish or English spoken,โ€ a resident of the front-line region told Come and See.
      โญ• I propose we station Houthi anti-aircraft units on oil platforms in the Black Sea. They can claim piracy rights.
      โญ• The rapid-fire calls for a โ€œhumanitarian pauseโ€ or even โ€œpausesโ€ in the Gaza conflict from the West, ranging from the G7 diplomats to Macron and Biden, and discussions of โ€œwhat a humanitarian pause in Gaza would look likeโ€ in the Western press (e.g. the likes of The New Yorker), over the past few days, mean only one thing:

      The brutal Israeli invasion of Gaza is in trouble and bogged down without result.

      When the West (and this includes Israel) calls for a ceasefire or a โ€œpause,โ€ they are merely trying to gain time and revise their failing strategy. There is nothing โ€œhumanitarianโ€ or peacelike in these proposals, and, whether or not the Gaza civilians would benefit, the proposals are not being floated in their interest.
      โญ• The White House announced that there will be โ€œ4 hour humanitarian pausesโ€ in Gaza.
      The only war with a lunch break…
      Thinking of how Western countries deliver weapons to Israel while also delivering “aid” to Hamas reminds me of a comment from a comedian that I remember from the 90s: “Explain to me how you send a plane dropping bombs followed by another dropping sandwiches…”
      โญ• The problem for Israel is that the longer its campaign continues without result, the more obvious it will become that itโ€™s an act of genocide.

      Itโ€™s one thing to demonize a military superpower like Russiaโ€”the Western (particularly American) public has been trained to root for the underdog champion appointed by their ruling elites, and Russiaโ€™s strength makes it an unlikely recipient of the sympathy vote among the brainwashed.

      Itโ€™s quite anotherโ€”impossibleโ€”thing to permanently demonize the Palestinians en masse, as they are dying (eventually) in the tens of thousands at the hands of the Israeli army. The Palestinian cause has deep roots, especially among the Western youth. Eventually, the sympathy vote will outweigh the mass media programming.

      Israeli had (still has, but even more minuscule?) one remote chanceโ€”somehow to finish everything in one rapid stroke. It was never going to work, but then the Israeli government dug themselves into a bottomless pit with its jingoistic rhetoric early on. So, they had no choice but to try. Now, I am not sure they know how to get out of this mess in one piece.

      @12 minutes Crooke highlights lies of western MSM and many Telegram channels who fell for it: only 50,000 of the ~ 900,000 living in north Gaza evacuated to the south so far. This is about 5.5%, far less than the 25% claimed by Hamas today. What a tough, blessed people! Inspite of demonic bombing, lack of safety, electricity, water, bread, hospitals, or let up in the bombing, and most living in tents or hospital courtyards, 95% stayed in place. Now many tens of thousands could be under rubble too, a horrible toll to be determined once heavy equipment are able to operate there…

      ๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿ‘† the importance of this factoid in debunking the lie almost all north Gaza was cleansed of civilians: it allows them to mask the true scale of ongoing genocide. And that they do it with nearly a million still on site! And reveals the sheer hate and venom in their hearts for the humans there. This is no longer even an op to move them south, but an Op to cull and to entomb them in place. That is why they lie — to mask the malice of even greater crimes.

      Yet the Truth always outs. Word will get out, what was done to how many, why, where, by whom, and pretenses will not wash. Folks in that region have abacus-like minds with better memory banks than IBM machines

      Why Eilat? It isn’t just Yemenis hitting it. Gazans launched against it; Iraqis too. After Ashdod, the main port (??) was shut down just after October 07 due to Hamas bombardment and easy access from Gaza making it nigh uninsurable, operations key to the occupation were rerouted to Eilat port, including iirc the Azeri/Kurd / stolen Syrian oil tankers sent by “Brother” Erdogan via Ceyhan.. this is a reciprocal total war, focusing on harming their economy.. putting them fully on the US-Western tab, another anchor dragging them quicker into Davy Jones’s broke locker. Note how quickly 404 funds have dried up!! God Bless the Iranian brianiacs, the wunder-minds of the Resistance coordination. What did that crusty Russian sailor say about implanted knives? Russians aren’t the only ones who know how to turn the knife two inches from the heart, inflicting maximum pain.

      Why the obstinacy in maintaining the genocide, from the perspective of Empire? We’ve discussed a lot the racial purification desired by the Zionists, but there are prosaic reasons from the Imperial core too. They hope the terrible things unfolding will generate at least one of two desired outcomes, or both. Like millions of shocked and awed arabs and muslims watching Iraqis being burned en masse during the criminal 2003 invasion, it will radicalize many, opening wide the recruitment centers for useful idiot extremism.. and it will also destabilize the regional arabs, either overturning the insufficiently compliant rulers or make the survivors even more pliant. Either way it sets the arabs back, dividing rulers and people, creating cruel police states, denying needed development. It will make the delegitimized survivors ripe for coups later, continuing the regional chaos. So the crazies plan. Yes they will get the revolutions they drive, but to which end this time?? Gene Sharps’ little human-skin-bound grimoire is well thumbed by Russia-China-Iran by this point in time. A stale playbook indeed. It should work out like Kazakhstan in January 2022, or Belarus before that.

      Another reason is to engender tremendous hatreds worldwide, as repeatedly voiced by Russians, especially since the Dagestan airport by Putin, and earlier today in Maria Zakharova’s brief. It is dividing folks in every country! And driving incredible anti-Jewish sentiment. This will serve to repopulate the dying Zionist entity, as was primed during and after WW2 too. And stoke fascism in inclined regions, now evident in Europe. The entire world’s getting uglier.

      The Refugee Affairs Department of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine called on the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to assume its responsibilities towards the relief of our people affected and displaced by the aggression, away from interfering in issues that do not concern it and we do not allow interference in.

      The department affirmed that UNRWA’s administration has abandoned its responsibilities since day one of the aggression, succumbed to the threats of the occupation, moved its operations center from Gaza City to the south, and left behind thousands of citizens groaning under the bombing and hunger, in a dangerous alignment with the occupation’s displacement plans. Despite all this, in the last hours, it appointed itself as an international guardianship over our people, by sending general messages to our people, through which this propaganda pretended that it can atone for the serious mistakes it has made since the beginning of the aggression.

      The department clarified that what is required from the United Nations institutions and the Relief and Works Agency is the actual cessation of aggression and the provision of our people’s needs in the shelter centers who are suffering under the weight of the aggression, which would alleviate their suffering, not to issue futile instructions that are not their responsibility. Most importantly, it is necessary for it to make a decision to return to its operations center in Gaza City, to fully assume its responsibilities required in relieving our people across the regions of the Strip and not only in the south.

      The department called on the international community, especially the United Nations institutions, to continue to pressure for stopping the aggression and breaking the siege imposed on the Strip first, with the importance of opening crossings and introducing relief aid into the Strip, noting that the international institutions bear to a large extent the responsibility for the ongoing zionist holocaust against our people in the Strip, which is taking place with the green light from this complicit or negligent international community.

      The department concluded its statement by affirming that our people will not forget and will not forgive UNRWA for what it has done, its escape from its responsibilities, and leaving our people prey to bombing and hunger, especially in the Northern Gaza governorates.

And Yemen has more numbers than Syria, Lebanon and Palestine combined and will fight on for centuries, having more testosterone than is healthy for any male. Their worst enemy in current circumstances is beloved Yemen….]

      No place is safe for the Palestinians.
      No place will be safe for the Israelis.

      i did not know what the blue stripes on the zionist’s soiled tarp meant…its colours, greece’s unforgettable colours, stolen (don’t neoliberals have rules regarding misappropriation?) but its flagrant plan hoisted to wave the world over…broadcasting before our non-seeing eyes its genocidal design? ย genocide is empire’s/israel’s calling card.

      alistair these last months, really since 404, has begun to reveal a hint of remorse for his years as a ย empire’s peerless hired gun negotiating life or death cul de sac winner takes all deals of the century. ย he is from an age familiar with rations & how hunger affects the health & minds of the young, the vulnerable & its everlasting effects on a child.

      those long years forging oslo, circling, sprinting up the down staircase for so many years is telegraphed in his weary eyes, sloping lids. ย the futility boils down to abuse by the elites, a good gun dog worn out by their sporting games. ย possibly it’s one of the reasons he chose beirut as his home after, lebanon may’ve offered a mosaic of beliefs where his love of a purpose in life might repair. for return he has to help us find our feet on these slippery stones so recklessly strewn through today’s ย phosphorous clouded streams.

      his observations regarding numbers, weapons & tunnels were gold of the sort to own & not mere paper, but i was most impressed by his testimony regarding ceasefires past & that the elites are not answerable to the people’s government or its protocol. ย yes, everybody knows…but this is the first time i’ve heard a diplomat of alistair’s rank & measure say it. ย & say it knowing he may be called to repeat it under oath.

      the global south, global majority, the rest as opposed to west are compiling & building their case. ย there will be trials, yes, most assuredly & such minds as lavrov, patrushev, putin, xi, wang yi, raisi, soleimani have diligently documented the treaties signed, accords, agreements, letters, footage, all safely sagely stowed to be brought in evidence @ the world court.

      empire is afraid, its stink shatters the ozone, as it grapples with the inconceivable fact that it has lost, & that in their drunken exceptional hubris they’ve left a nasty trail of facts & crimes which, O dear, ย some non human beasts retrieved & stored. in 404 mother hit the reactors & labs first before the evidence could be completely shredded. ย all this. plus the loss of currency, resources that satan had gifted them! attrition, the foolishness of woke education/offshoring manufacturing/mic’s criminal skimming, truly the jig is up, done like amarynth’s cooked goose dinner.

      we need in times such as these to hang onto hope. ย in the fog, i cannot be sure if the dark sails are friendly or foe: a) china @ the united nations with the uae, coincidence, okay, it is only twice, we await 3rd time lucky. ย raisi meeting mbs? ย a nothing burger? ย kim ensuring the river of weapons will flow. ย afghanistan opening a crucial pass allowing wealth, weapons & oil to glide from one to the other: china & iran, afghanistan friends with eyes fixed on but one goal.

      please, dear ahh, guide me here, it seems as though china, mother, as well as iran & syria (possibly iraq (alistair’s intriguing comments re: wealthy & well armed Iraqis)) are steering events to bring the bedouins in from empire’s cold. ย is it possible?

      qatar, always playing with a marked deck, harbinger of hamas can their natural inclinations finally serve their own, their brothers & our world’s greater good? ย china & iran continue to try. ย omg i don’t want to be silly but really i have to keep hope burning!

      the global rest/majority have all endured famine, lived in cities levelled & burned, their old, their children sacrificed, their lovely wives, daughters raped, yet miraculously all are convinced, joined unto death, it seems only the oblivious oily rich bedouins have escaped unscathed, materially @ least. ย how best can mother, china, iran help them realize freedom requires the captive to fly free from the miraculously opened cage.

      erdogan, master of deception, may be assuming a role but let us hope as happens to even the worst stage actors that the role inexplicably takes over the ham, really, it can happen, so even if he’s no more than an aging matron playing with her ouija & ends consumed, if it’s sham let us hope this ouija does consume the actor.

      sisi, appears to be drowning, his head under only the scalp showing, an arm flaying, ย hand open, hoping…what can be done to pull him from the depths & drag him & with him all of us & blessed gaza out of this apocryphal sea?๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ ย  thank you & blessings

        Iraqi tribemen

        Short answer: I don’t know emerson. My heart wants to believe the optimism of Shahid Bolsen and Bhadrakumar, but my mind, knowing history, some eschatology and human nature of deviants, tends to heed the weary bitter two who know the region and their people betterย  — Crooke and Abdel Bari Atwan. There will be blood. The evangelicals and zionists have primed a terrible pump. The fight is on.

        The former two do not appear to know the nature of the Gulf arab elites well. They are emotionally, spiritually and criminally tied to the combined West, even if they want to dissociate and save themselves. They have committed a sea of crimes!! The bagmen who killed MILLIONS. This is unforgivable among a people of honor who demand retribution. For generations they underwrote, justified, proselytised, funded, armed, and provided a rear base to the criminal extremists who torched MUCH of mankind. Their own kin and kith!! One cannot simply walk back such crimes, as terrible and countless and consequential as the Americans or any other. And so, like the current criminal impulses of the West, they are also constrained in a “flight forward,” in rank terror of accountability.

        And their western “friends” have a ton of kompromat. They will call on every card at this moment. So the bedouins are stuck.

        And even with the tremendous support, and forgiveness, and guidance and diplomatic cover of the major three civilizational states, they are on thin ice at home, as thin as ice just formed minutes ago! They appear even more hated at home than abroad, and susceptible to color coups if they deviate from provided scripts. All the numerous tribes they fiercely control hate them, aware of their rank hypocrisies and ways of life.. “The Age of Satan” did indeed arise in the Nagd of the Arabian peninsula, about a century ago. And the ones who will dismantle it are their very arab neighbors and restive tribes surrounding the oil. A learned friend told me several years ago, when the Yemen war started, that ALL countless saudi tribes were armed to the hilt and waiting for some signal to tear the artificial construct of Sykes-Picot to shreds. So where is the putative future of the Gulf??!! Karma is coming in a big way…..

        I suspect Iraqis, especially Sunnis, are wealthy due to ungodly bribes given by USUK in last years, in order to maintain the optical nature of occupation.. rather the US bases are all indefensible hostages surviving at their pleasure. Remember the huge desert area connecting eastern Syria, Jordan, western Iraq, and N/E KSA are populated by essentially same nomadic tribes, even having the same names after millennia.. These bases will be blasted to hell now. NOTHING will stop it, even if they nuke Baghdad. This Gaza war is healing their divisions in a good way, as everywhere. And creating true independence from their fellow tribesmen in GCC.

        USUK is really afraid. Karma is coming again in “Syraq,” as in Yemen.. In this I agree with Bolsen and MKB — a great opportunity arises for regional unity, against both the demonic west and the lost GCC moneymen. An early gift of Gaza

        Arab tribes (1947) and seasonal nomadic movements. Crafted with malice by the Brits and handed off to the new US gendarme.. A little dated, but largely holds, and has held for millennia in the four-state desert area. Borders tended to be ignored by nomads and tribes as in many other British-crafted border areas, whether between Niger-Nigeria or the Durand Line between AfPak. Sykes-Picot is only a century old. All these current states are new constructs. Loyalty remains to tribe…

        This is a representative map of Saudi tribes, and their wild numerous diversity. KSA is a HUGE land, 12th largest country in the world by area at 2.15M kmยฒ. This is half the entire EU space of 4.2M Kmยฒ! Cobbled together into an irrational confederation of mutually-hating tribes by those studious Brits planting bombs to go off in a rosy needed future… Has this future arrived, with the construct now more a hindrance than a benefit?? Many areas in KSA still do not have electricity. The disparity in wealth is even more staggering than in US. Some 60-70% live below poverty line, on handouts, not receiving the oil wealth, resentful of those contemptuously begrudging them any development because they are a rival tribe! It is a primed powder keg.

Noting the high number of damaged or destroyed vehicles, we quickly realize that armed men would never have had the time to cause such damage. Only rotary cannon fire from attack helicopters and artillery can cause such damage in such a short time. [video]
      โญ• Another Israeli soldier lost in the Gaza Strip. The Falashas of Ethiopia have a holy horror of Netanyahu and now he is sending their children to war in Gaza… The race riot is not far away.ย [it already arrived, seen between factions of Eritreans, close relatives of Ethiopians, who periodically fight each other on the streets of occupied Palestine]
      โญ• White phosphorous munitions fall near the “safe” passage for civilians taking refuge towards the south of the Gaza Strip…ย [it appears the “safe” passages were designed and coordinated with gunships to better cull… Fortunately most listened to Hamas and stayed put in north Gaza.]

      โญ• Israel itself will assume ‘full control’ over the Gaza strip after victory over Hamas, no regional or international forces – Netanyahu
      โญ• NOTE: The ‘victory over Hamas’ is obviously a hypothetical scenario, and Hezbollah will never let this happen, Sayyed Hassan said it in his speech clearly. But currently, we have not even reached that point, as the resistance is doing well for themselves.
      โญ• By the way, even if you don’t believe Hezbollah will interfere for solidarity, you must understand something. Gaza and the war against Israel is not just in Hezbollah’s interest because of ‘solidarity with the Palestinian cause’. In fact, as Nasrallah said, the victory of Hamas is a vital interest for Lebanon.
      If Gaza comes under Israeli occupation, they know that Israel will be able to focus attention & its forces and set its sight on Lebanon, which will undoubtedly be next. Gaza is the last line of defense for Hezbollah, so they won’t let it fail.

Initial estimated value of damage sustained to the Strip is worth at least over 2 billion US dollars. [these were largely tall concrete hovels built by Qatar… most enterprises and efforts of the satanic GCC are cursed in this dimension. Totally fruitless in most areas of the world.]
      โญ• 3 unidentified drones coming from Lebanon entered Israeli airspace in the Upper Galilee. Most likely, these drones are either from the Palestinian factions in Lebanon or Hezbollah.
      One drone was intercepted, and two apparently hit their targets, there is an Israeli gag order on the event and therefore the situation is not clear.
      โญ• Netanyahu states that Israel will establish full security control after the elimination of the government of Hamas. This means that Israel will take over the security, economic, and political functions of the Gaza Strip, which it withdrew from in the early 2000s during Ariel Sharon’s time. By that, Netanyahu seems to have also rejected the concept of an international peacekeeping force occupying the Gaza strip, that plan seems to have also failed. [The Palestinians rejected it; zionists are breathing bravado at the moment. They are flotsam whose terrible fated is to be determined by the Resistance Axis]

      ๐Ÿ’ @Arab_Africa: ย 
      โญ• Libyan representative to the UN questioned the authority of the International Criminal Court [ICC]
      On November 8, at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Libya with the participation of the ICC, US Deputy Permanent Representative Jeffrey de Laurentiis called for continued international criminal prosecution of Seif al-Islam Gaddafi.
      However, Libya’s representative to the UN, Tahir al-Sunni, said that the ICC has not yet made public the results of the investigation into the mass graves discovered in the city of Tarhuna and has not named the names of those involved in this crime, so the ICC does not have the right to keep Libya under its close attention.
      Al-Sunni also called for reconsidering the authority of the ICC if this organization does not take decisive steps to protect the people of Palestine. [This appears huge. Part of lawfare. There is close coordination between Libya and Russia, with its leader visiting Putin a few weeks ago; a Russian base is mooted in Libya. Payback for Gaddafi, and the ICC and its use as a western weapon against Africa, Putin, Serbia. It is now on the dock for silence in Gaza. ALL UN bodies are going to be reformed or discarded in the trashbin]
      โญ• Abu Ubaydah (a representative of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas), is now extremely popular in the Arab world.

      โญ• How the Arab world views the appeal of Al-Qassam military representative Abu Ubaida. It seems to me that if the president of all Arab countries were elected in the Arab world, he would easily win them. Nobody gathers as many people around their TVs as Abu Ubaydah. In the photo: a trend in Arabic social networks. #HAMAS [media]
      โญ• An Algerian parliamentarian donated a thousand dollars to Abu Ubaida to purchase two Yassin 105 missiles, [effective against tanks] and also advised all Algerians to follow his example.
      Algerian Society for Peace MP Zakaria Belkheir announced a donation of money to the Palestinian resistance. He sent the appeal, made from the rostrum of parliament, to the representative of the Al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of Hamas) Abu Ubaydah.
      Belkheir drew an analogy between the current war in the Gaza Strip and the Algerian liberation war against France from 1954 to 1962. He recalled that the Algerian resistance fighters who liberated the country from French colonialism were first called โ€œterrorists,โ€ but then the whole world was forced to recognize them.
      He also asked Abu Ubaydah to write his father’s name on one of the rockets so that he could at least gain the honor of joining the jihad waged by HAMAS.
      Let us recall that in 1962 Algeria gained independence from France, the price of which was the death of about 150 rebels and up to 1.5 million civilians.ย [what a bitter symmetry. That may be also the case in Gaza, after they launched the ground ops]

      The resistance has not yet faced any setback or failure, and our people’s confidence in the resistance is complete in what it declares. This is the main point of strength in this battle, alongside the determination of the resistance fighters and leaders to achieve victory.

      The resistance is exerting all its efforts to spare our people from the brutal crimes of the enemy, which imposes additional burdens on it, which it rises to with determination and a spirit of sacrifice.

      We call on the masses of our people, our nation, and the free people of the world to escalate action and struggle against the forces of the aggressive alliance, and to transform popular anger into a fire that burns the forces of aggression and their supporters in every place in this world.

      In another strike, the IOF committed a massacre of displaced Gazans on Salah Al-Din street in central Gaza. Convoys of displaced people were targeted in the so-called “safe corridor” as they were moving south.

      After survivors arrived in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, they said, “The army brutalizes the displaced, assaults them, and practices threats and terror against them. Today, occupation aircraft targeted a large number of the displaced convoy near the Netzarim junction on Salah al-Din Street.” Another survivor said, “They struck women. They struck children. Their bodies are halved and we can’t recover them.” Someone adds, “For 20 days, martyrs have been on the ground on Salah Al-Din street.

      The occupation’s massacre of the displaced on Salah Al-Din road and in Al-Buraq school is a stain on the forehead of humanity. Our people will not be broken in the face of this criminal fascism.

      The killing by the occupation of more than 50 martyrs in this massacre and its continued perpetration of more crimes in full view and hearing of the world, constitutes a stain on the forehead of the international community and all of humanity. Anyone who thinks that these massacres, which are carried out with the absolute support of the American administration, trampling all laws and human rules, will break our people and their resistance, is delusional. They do not understand the nature of this mighty people and their valiant resistance, rooted in this land and clinging to their rights until liberation and return, God willing.ย [this is why Genocide was decided on by the combined West.

      Israeli journalist Gideon Levy:
      Israeli society has surrounded itself with shields, walls, not only physical, but also mental. I will simply give three principles that allow us Israelis to live easily in this harsh reality.

      First. Most, if not all, Israelis deeply believe that we are the chosen people. And if we are the chosen people, we have the right to do whatever we want.

      Second. There have been more brutal occupations in history. There have been longer occupations in history. But never in history has there been an occupation in which the occupier presented himself as a victim. The other day Professor Falk spoke about this double strategy of Israel: to be a victim on the one hand and to manipulate on the other.

      And finally, I come to the third set of values โ€‹โ€‹that allow us Israelis to live in peace with occupation. This is perhaps the most important and worst of them. And this is the systematic dehumanization of Palestinians.

      Because if they are not like us, then there can be no talk of human rights. And if you scratch every Israeli, you will find it there. Almost no one will treat the Palestinians as equal people, as themselves. After all, how many Israelis have ever tried to put themselves even for a moment in the shoes of the Palestinians, for a moment, for a day?

      Saudi Arabia’s crown prince called on Friday for an end to the war in Gaza.
      “We condemn what the Gaza Strip is facing from military assault, targeting of civilians, the violations of international law by the Israeli occupation authorities,” Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman said during an African-Saudi summit in Riyadh.
      “We stress the need to stop this war and the forced displacement of Palestinians.”

      Israeli occupation forces continue their genocidal airstrikes, bombing hospitals in the besieged Gaza Strip, and as their latest atrocity, targeting al-Shifa Hospital where thousands of Palestinians are seeking refuge from the aggression.

      The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has urged the United Nations secretary-general to form an international committee to visit hospitals in the besieged strip to counter Israelโ€™s โ€œfalseโ€ claims that they are used as launch pad for anti-Israel operations. Hamas has noted that the claims are aimed to โ€œjustifyโ€ Israelโ€™s attacks on hospitals in Gaza.

      โญ• The Israeli criminal mind: (1982) One weekend, I left besieged #Beirut to take a day off from the bombing before the siege. When I returned, the Israelis surrounded the city and prevented anyone from going in or out. When I insisted on going back into the city of #Beirut to do my job as a journalist, the Israeli officer let me in through a small side street next to the former Lebanese parliament on Museum Street, where I saw many people killed on the way and bodies lying everywhere. I walked between the bodies and the rubble and couldn’t understand why there were so many bodies until I got to the other side, and the resistance forces told me that I had just walked into a minefield.
      โญ• The Israeli officer forced me to empty the only bottle of water I was carrying and to throw away my sandwich. Israel cut the water & electricity in #Beirut before bombing it. I returned the morning when the Israeli tanks were trying to break into the city to observe the advance.

      โญ• You see, for #Israel to cut water & electricity, besiege a city, bomb & massacre civilians is normal behaviour that leaves its officials w/o any remorse. It is normal because we are dealing with the 2d and 3d generations of the Zionist Irgun Terrorist organisation, born in 1931

But go back to your Bible, and read the full prophecy to understand what Netanyahu means. Isaiah is about a time when โ€œthe Law will issue from Zionโ€ and Israel โ€œwill judge between the nations and arbitrate between many peoplesโ€ (2:3-4). Here is more from Isaiah: โ€œthe nation and kingdom that will not serve you will perish, and the nations will be utterly destroyedโ€ (60:12); โ€œYou will suck the milk of nations, you will suck the wealth of kingsโ€ (60:16); โ€œYou will feed on the wealth of nations, you will supplant them in their gloryโ€ (61:5-6). โ€œYahwehโ€™s sword is gorged with blood, it is greasy with fat,โ€ says Isaiah on the occasion of โ€œa great slaughter in the land of Edom [Amalekโ€™s grandfather]โ€ (34:6).

          Good point. I think you posted an article some days ago asserting the “god” they refer to as Yahweh is a demon?? Then everything follows. This is essentially what many Christian and Muslim eschatologists say too. Many jews will be tricked at the End, to serve the Antichrist, another vile demon. Anyway, we can deal with them according to their actions, not their words, whether flowery or crazed.

          I used “nazi” in the new way as used by Batiushka. He expanded it nicely, even linking it to the first series of Crusades a millennium ago. The consistent core is nihilistic, demonic messianism, whether medieval western Christianity, French bourgeois republicanism, aryan supremacism, or the current zionist or liberal totalitarianism. It is a crazed, criminal, fascist, genocidal aggression facing any in their way of total control. And those in their way have always been the Orthodox and Muslim. Nothing new under the sun…

      Bet now FOB zone Israel goes poof. Is already in denouement.

      There is now no longer any realistic idea of 2 state… Is, (always was) one state solution…said solution being generally violent…until the nazi stuff is burned away….which is pretty nasty process. Since the people being liquidated are Semitic brethren of the actual Jews, (the Ashkenazim fellas are less Semitic, obviously) we might say a very nasty civil war with Imperial influences… Very jolly indeed!

      โญ• About the Strikes of the US and Israeli Air Forces in Syria. Syria continues to be a hotspot of events, with the Russian Aerospace Forces targeting pro-Turkish formations and the Turks attacking the Kurds in the north. Recently, both the Israelis and the Americans conducted targeted operations.

      ๐Ÿ”ปOn the night of November 7-8, four Israeli Air Force F-16I fighters from Ramon Air Base launched eight guided missiles from Lebanese airspace at targets in southwestern Syria. The guidance for the operation was provided by two Heron-1 UAVs from Palmachim Air Base, operating over the Golan Heights. It is worth noting that out of the eight missiles launched, only one was intercepted by Syrian air defense systems. Four missiles targeted electronic jamming stations in the provinces of Damascus and Es-Suwayda, one destroyed an antenna from the GYL-1 radar, and two struck a building belonging to pro-Iranian groups near Damascus. Despite their engagement in the Gaza Strip, the Israelis continue to carry out strikes in Syrian territory. Their focus is not only on countering Iranian forces at their borders but also on neutralizing the Syrian Armed Forces’ air defense capabilities. This is evident from the destruction of electronic warfare and air defense systems.

      ๐Ÿ”ปOn the night of November 8-9, the Americans deployed a pair of F-15s and F-16s from Al-Salti airbase in Jordan to the Al Bukamal border crossing. They targeted Iranian proxy warehouses in the east of Deir ez-Zor and near Al Mayadin in response to attacks by Shiite groups on American bases in the Al-Omar and Koniko oil fields. The surveillance for this operation was conducted by two Reapers from the same base. It is important to note that these strikes on pro-Iranian groups should not be seen as a step towards further escalation. At this stage, they can be viewed as a means of maintaining a desired level of tension through mutual attacks.ย [take with grain of salt.

      Our people in Gaza, we will not skimp on you, not even with the gift of blood, and this is the least of our duties.

      A major accomplishment was to draw a significant part of the “israeli” forces from the interior to the Lebanese front, thereby relieving pressure on our brothers in Gaza.

      What the Islamic Resistance has accumulated in terms of equipment, arms, readiness, and preparedness since 2006 will explode in anger and lava on the usurping enemy, who has seen very little of it so far.

      Our deployment was operational, and we remained in full readiness to confront any aggression. Operations began in the Shebaa Farms area and extended to cover all sites over a distance exceeding 100 kilometers.

      The “israeli” interior was targeted, and the “iron dome’s” operation was disrupted in many places.

      A large number of Merkava tanks were hit and disabled by guided missiles.

      Among the major achievements was the destruction of a large part of the “israeli” sites.

      The primary accomplishment is blinding the enemy’s eyes and preventing them from seeing.

      The resistance responded to the enemy who attacked the region of Iqlim Al-Tuffah by expanding the range of fire and the nature of the response.

      ๐Ÿ”นThe “good man” AKA Al-Zalama represents the poor, struggling masses.
      ๐Ÿ”นFatima, a woman, is the embodiment of Palestine, Lebanon, and all refugee camps, often with a key around her neck, symbolizing return.
      ๐Ÿ”นThe “evil man” represents everything negative in the Arab world: normalization, capitalism, and greed. [often depicted as an obese Gulf elite..]
      ๐Ÿ”นHandala, named after a bitter fruit, is Naji’s signature. He does not age until liberation. His hair is thorny like a weapon. He wears shabby clothes. He doesn’t face us, but Palestine, and his hands are clasped in defiance of US and zionist deals. It is noteworthy that Handala’s image has been co-opted by exploiters of the struggle and normalizers, divorcing Handala from the revolutionary politics of his creator.

      In this December 1978 drawing, a Palestinian child dons his amputee father’s combat boots to continue the struggle. Fatima cries while embracing her husband, wearing patchy clothing symbolizing their status as refugees. The map behind them reads, “We will return.”

      In the second drawing, the “good man” smokes a cigarette while Fatima embraces him. A painting reads “patience” watching over three children. The bedsheets read “Soon, in the markets… the revolution of the hungry.”

      โญ• Professional commentary about this.
      The 1979 Camp David agreement detailed that the Israeli Military Government, that was enacted over Gaza and the West Bank, be dissolved, eventually, the Israeli Military Government which was responsible for the civil and security affairs of Gaza and the West Bank were lifted off per Camp David.

      Israel would be directly violating Camp David if it reinstates a military government in Gaza, considering that this treaty is the cornerstone of Israeli diplomacy, I’m positive most elites in Tel Aviv realize this, as for Netanyahu and his insane cabinet – they’re in a serious situation, do they violate the one thing that kept them safe in terms of diplomacy, or not go with an occupation of Gaza? [They begin to understand there is a new normal and sanity plays little role. A betrayer is the last to understand he is being betrayed.. A seed Egypt planted in 1970s by selling out and normalizing with Zionism bears fruit today. The nearly 200-strong armada waiting off Egypt’s coast is for multiple state actors..

      The good man says, “You canโ€™t expect honey from the ass of an animal.”

      A refugee breaks through the tiles, and a sign reads, “Balata camp, entry is forbidden.”

      A zionist soldier overturns a tile to find a key of return. On the underside is written: “We will return to Yaffa. Balata refugee camp.”

      (Balata is a derivative of “slabs”/”tiles” in Arabic).

      These drawings are from August 1986 and June 1987, just months before the First Intifada, in which Balata played a leading role in as the spark of the uprising in the West Bank after it had spread from Gaza. Naji had predicted the central role of the refugee camp in the intifada. Today, Balata remains a fortress of resistance, having repelled the US-backed zionist military once more after a fierce seven-hour-long battle.
      [Balata was in news last weeks too! Still fighting. And would be for another 40 years.. why they genocide them all, especially pregnant women, children, and elders who can hand down the knowledge, culture and skills of Resistance. The despair of Zionists is total.]

      Speaking of murder, er, conflict… The current “World War Three” is likely to endure over a long timeframe and be scattered in terms of locations. But based on its results โ€“ and there will be some โ€“ a different structure of international organizations will emerge. This is always the case. This does not mean that the UN, for example, will disappear, but there will definitely be a profound correction of the principles on which it operates. https://www.rt.com/news/587022-fyodor-lukyanov-world-war-three/

      “The Flower of the Good Earth” was born in 1958 in Battir, Bethlehem, Taghreed soon joined the ranks of the PFLP as part of the liberation struggle in order to expel the colonial settlers from her homeland. She is honored by Naji Al-Ali in the above drawing, with the symbolic hoopoe bird singing a tearful song for the heroic martyr.

      In response to her martyrdom, PFLP commandos assassinated IOF officer Moshe Golan in the Taghreed Batmeh Operation as a response “to the fascist terrorism carried out by the zionist entity against our masses in the homeland.” They stated that it was revenge for “comrade and fighter Taghreed’s assassination after failed attempts to assassinate the fighters Al-Shak’a, Khalaf, and Al-Taweel.” After a carefully-planned ambush, the PFLP announced Moshe’s “immediate death.”

      The PFLP mourned Taghreed honorably, calling for more resistance, more unity, and to escalate the revolutionary intifada, calling for a overthrow of the “conspiracy of autonomous administrative rule.” which would form the basis for the Palestinian Authority 14 years later.

      A poem published in the PFLP’s Al-Hadaf reads:
      “Taghreed, Palestine’s bride, passed into her blood,
      and her blood announced the intifada.
      Taghreed passed into the good earth,
      and the olive trees announced disobedience.
      Taghreed passed into the university,
      and the students declared a strike.

      and we extended our palms to her falling blood,

      Secondly: Form committees in all medical, humanitarian, relief, and parliamentary specialties, and head immediately towards the Egyptian-Palestinian Rafah crossing, challenging the zionist occupation, to bring in all relief, medical, food, and fuel materials, to rescue all hospitals in the Gaza Strip, which have gone out of service or will go out of service, before they turn into mass graves and massacres that shame humanity.

      The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine calls on the Arab-Islamic Summit to make decisive and bold decisions to stop the aggression on the Gaza Strip.

      The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine confirmed that the joint Arab-Islamic Summit, held today in Saudi Arabia, is required to make decisive decisions to stop the genocidal crimes committed by the zionist enemy in the Gaza Strip in partnership with the U.S. administration and the Western system, away from simple statements of condemnation, denunciation, and protest. This also includes the need to prepare a comprehensive action plan for the future of the region, away from suspicious American projects or normalizing relations with the zionist entity.

      The Front considered that what is required of the summit is to adopt clear and effective positions to stop the ongoing zionist aggression on the Strip for the 36th consecutive day, as well as what is happening in the West Bank and Al-Quds. It calls for bold decisions to break the siege imposed on the Strip, open crossings, and continuously introduce humanitarian aid, fuel, medicine, and food in defiance of the occupation and breaking its conditions. It views the Rafah crossing as an exclusively Arab-Palestinian crossing and proposes leveraging the resources of the Arab and Islamic nations, including oil and gas, to stop this around-the-clock war. It emphasizes that the solution to the crisis of the zionists held by the resistance is linked to a comprehensive exchange deal through which all our brave female and male prisoners in the occupation jails are freed, and establishing a fund for the reconstruction of the Strip under Arab supervision, away from the conditions or intervention of the zionists, U.S. administration, and the West.

      The Front also emphasized the need to support the full rights of the Palestinian people, away from half-solutions or the so-called two-state solution or the Arab initiative, based on a comprehensive solution according to the fair international legitimacy resolutions for our people, ending the occupation and giving our people their right to return, freedom, self-determination, and establishing their independent and fully sovereign state with Al-Quds as its capital. It emphasizes the legitimacy of our people’s resistance and condemns any attempts to describe it as terrorism in clear language. It highlights the need to abandon weak and frail positions, calling on all systems that have relations with the zionist entity to immediately sever these relations, expel zionist ambassadors from Arab and Islamic countries, and cancel all joint security and economic agreements. It promotes and supports boycott campaigns against the occupation at all levels with a binding decision for all attendees.

      The Front calls on the summit to make decisions that curb American interventions and crimes in the region, reject any plans for the displacement of our people, and refuse to engage with or accept any projects targeting the liquidation of the Palestinian issue.

      It also calls for the rejection of any attempts to accept or align with zionist or Western ideas or post-war Gaza illusions, stressing that the future of the Strip is drawn by the Palestinian people, and rejecting any attempts to bring international or Arab forces into the Strip, affirming that our people will treat these forces as an occupying power.

      The Front concludes its statement by affirming that the victory of our people and our resistance in this battle constitutes an important victory for the Arab and Islamic states and all the free people of the world. It restores stability to the region, the area, and the world, away from creating imaginary enmities that colonialism has always worked to intensify.

      This speech today may have been more an annual celebration (each Nov 11) and an internal message to his cadre which Hezbollah calls “Martyr’s Day” rather than a significant change in operations or message. He tacked on various updates, including gradual heating of the boiling frogs. I do not think Nasrallah or Hezbollah will say anything significant now or in future, at least in dramatic language. Again, the honorable Resistance Axis has chosen a kinetic route, already begun, and to cede the media lens fully to the Palestinians, thereby to collapse the West and their local criminal compradores… and this is working nicely, even if it doesn’t prevent the genocide in the short term.

      The West Bank is advancing towards more confrontation and inflammation. The enemy entity states that the situation there may force them to withdraw forces from the south and the north to face what they fear in the West Bank.

      Yemen took a bold, strong, public, and official stance and sent batches of missiles and drones to the occupied Palestinian lands.

      What the brothers in Yemen did had very important effects, even if we assume that the missiles and planes did not arrive.

      One of the most important results of Yemen’s exceptional position is that it provided significant moral support to the Palestinian resistance fighters who seek this support.

      The Yemeni threat compelled the “israeli” enemy to divert part of its air defenses from the north and south of Palestine to “Eilat.”

      The Yemeni threat made the “Eilat” area unsafe, meaning more “israeli” displacement from the Gaza envelope, increasing pressure on the enemy.

      Yemen is taking significant, blessed, and commendable steps, despite threats made against them before and after their action, including the resumption of the American war against them.

      The Yemeni military intervention is accompanied by an unparalleled global popular presence in support of the Gaza Strip.

      Targeting American bases in Iraq and Syria was based on the idea of solidarity with Gaza at the beginning of the battle, especially in Iraq.

      Operations in Iraq serve the idea of liberating Iraq and Syria from the remaining American occupation bases, but the primary basis for these operations is solidarity with Gaza.

      The actions of the Iraqi resistance reflect great boldness and courage as they fight the Americans, whose fleets have entered the region.

      The brave men of the Iraqi resistance are challenging the American armed forces with fire.

      The Americans are pressuring our brothers in Iraq and us in Lebanon, using every Western, Arab, and Lebanese channel to convey threats to us.

      The American threat has not stopped resistance operations in Iraq, Yemen, or Lebanon.

      If the Americans want to stop operations against them in Iraq and Syria, they must stop the war on Gaza. This is the only way to stop the operations.

      Syria, despite its difficult circumstances, continues to embrace the resistance and bears the consequences of this position.

      The drone that reached “Eilat” a few days ago marked a significant achievement. The enemy was at a loss in identifying the source, bombing one of our formations in Syria, leading to the martyrdom of several of our members.

      I do not think that anyone expects Syria, as a state and people, to offer more than it already has, emerging from a global war and fighting American-protected ISIS.

      Despite all the wounds, Syria still stands firm and embraces the resistance.

      Iran’s firm and continuous political, material, and military support for the Palestinian resistance is no longer hidden and is known to everyone.

      If there is a resistance force in Lebanon, Palestine, and the region, the primary military and financial support is from Iran.

      The Iranians have not spared anything in providing money, weapons, training, and effort to the resistance movements in the region; Iran continues to persist despite all threats.

      Iran does not change its position on supporting the resistance and will always remain a protector and supporter of the resistance.
      โญ• Nasrallah’s speech for Martyr’s Day (2/2):

      On the Lebanese front, operations have been ongoing since October 8 until today.

      Despite all preventative measures, our operations continued on the front, and despite the constant presence of armed “israeli” drones, which constituted a new factor in the confrontation.

      Any step forward on the Lebanese front is tantamount to a martyrdom operation, and this expresses, through the scale of daily operations, the courage and firmness of the martyrdom fighters.

      Last week, there was a quantitative increase in the number of operations and in the type of weapons used. For the first time, we used attack drones.

      The missiles that entered service in recent days on the Lebanese front are Burkan missiles, weighing 300 kg to half a ton.

      We used Katyusha rockets for the first time in this confrontation, in response to the brutal crime in Ainata and the attack on the Iqlim Al-Tuffah region.

      The drones and Katyushas were in deeper areas inside the occupied territories, and this was necessitated by the nature of the battle related to Gaza and the escalation in the south.

      Over 350 casualties of [zionist] soldiers and civilians reached a single hospital in Al-Jalil in northern occupied Palestine.

      Last week, we witnessed the targeting of civilians and a vehicle of Al-Risalah Islamic Scouts, and the Islamic Resistance responded.

      The Islamic Resistance responded quickly and decisively to the crime in Ainata, informing the enemy that we will not tolerate any harm to civilians.

      Today, we reveal the daily entry of reconnaissance drones into northern occupied Palestine, some reaching Haifa, Akka, Safed, and sometimes crossing the north.

      Every day, we send several reconnaissance drones into northern occupied Palestine, apart from the attack drones.

      In recent days, we have witnessed a new wave of “israeli” threats towards Lebanon due to the quantitative and qualitative elevation on this front.

      The general trend in the southern Lebanese front continues, and it will remain a pressing front.

      We praise the heroic fighters and the supportive environment that bears the burden of confrontation on the Lebanese front, as well as the burden of displacement and material losses.

      The general Lebanese political and public stance is supportive and commendable, making this front active and influential. I do not wish to comment on the deviant positions.

      Today’s battle is different, and it is not I who announces the steps. Our policy in the current battle is that the field is the one who acts and speaks.

      On the Lebanese front, eyes must remain on the field, not on words.

      We are in a battle of steadfastness, patience, accumulation of achievements, gathering data points, and a battle of time, which is a need for the resistance and its peoples, helping in defeating the tyrants.

      All factors, both within and outside the entity, will pressure its leadership. This pressure must continue, and so must patience and endurance.

      We look forward to a horizon where Palestine triumphs, and the enemy fails to achieve any of its goals.

      Victory is coming, God willing, and our generations will witness the liberation of Al-Quds and prayers in Al-Aqsa Mosque.

      It does seem like the overwhelming majority of Jews aren’t even Semites in the first place ๐Ÿค”
      Ashkenazim today makes up approximately 83%โ€“85% of Jews worldwide – Wikipedia

      Most Ashkenazi Jews are genetically Europeans, surprising study finds:
      https://www.nbcnews.com/sciencemain/most-ashkenazi-jews-are-genetically-europeans-surprising-study-finds-8c11358210
      Based on accounts such as those of Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, by the time of the destruction of the Second Temple in A.D. 70, as many as 6 million Jews were living in the Roman Empire, but outside Israel, mainly in Italy and Southern Europe. In contrast, only about 500,000 lived in Judea, said Ostrer, who was not involved in the new study.

      All told, more than 80 percent of the maternal lineages of Ashkenazi Jews could be traced to Europe, with only a few lineages originating in the Near East.

      https://theconversation.com/ashkenazic-jews-mysterious-origins-unravelled-by-scientists-thanks-to-ancient-dna-97962
      Recent DNA analysis of Ashkenazi Jews โ€“ a Jewish ethnic group โ€“ revealed that their maternal line is European. It has also been found that their DNA only has 3% ancient ancestry which links them with the Eastern Mediterranean (also known as the Middle East) โ€“ namely Israel, Lebanon, parts of Syria, and western Jordan. This is the part of the world Jewish people are said to have originally come from โ€“ according to the Old Testament. But 3% is a minuscule amount, and similar to what modern Europeans as a whole share with Neanderthals. So given that the genetic ancestry link is so low, Ashkenazic Jewsโ€™ most recent ancestors must be from elsewhere.

      Let me go just a tad bit farther and I’ll tell you how dare I say the ones doing Gaza are Satanic: Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 for starters.

      (2:9 — KJV I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.)

      (3:9 – KJV Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

      For those who are still not understanding that they’re backing Satan, remember what Jesus Himself said to the Pharisees:

      John 8:42-47 New King James Version, Jesus said to them, โ€œIf God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. M But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears Godโ€™s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.โ€

      โญ• Death toll in Gaza tops 11,000. The death toll in Gaza has reached 11,078, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, with at least 27,490 people wounded. At least 4,506 of the dead are children, the Ministry added, representing over 40% of those killed. [given scale of bombing, how many still stuck under rubble, inability to evac the wounded, starvation, nonfunction of hospitals — the total is likely multiples now — 20-30k killed at least]

      โญ• The [serious] escalation between #Israel and #Hezbollah has started TODAY (you may disagree if you don’t see the full picture). It seems the occupation of north of #Gaza won’t take too long and @netanyahu doesn’t mind starting a war on another front. The next hours/days are crucial.
      โญ• Hezbollah bombed several targets belonging to the Israeli Occupation Forces in retaliation to its attacks in Homs, #Syria and this morning 40km deep inside the Lebanese territories. We have entered phase 3 in the war between #Israel and #Hezbollah.
      โญ• Israel is using artificial intelligence in its drones over southern #Lebanon for the first time in a war. This new technology needs serious consideration.

      โญ• Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades [Hamas] spokesperson, Abu Obeida, in a recorded speech: We are engaged in the 36th day of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, which history will immortalize and the occupier will not erase.

      “Israeli” tanks face fierce resistance and intense clashes, forcing them to retreat and change the course of their incursion.

      The American-backed “israeli” war machine is destroying everything in front of them before advancing, but it faces resistance that destroys their armored vehicles and their soldiers’ fortified positions and assembly areas.

      Our fighters emerge from underground and above it, from under the rubble, and destroy their armored vehicles and tanks. Quick and easy revenge comes to appease their internal front.

      Bombing hospitals, schools, and civilian facilities are the achievements of the occupier to have an achievement over the sea of innocent blood. The enemy’s massacres in Gaza are the only achievement in the war.

      We announce that we have documented the complete or partial destruction of more than 160 zionist military vehicles since the beginning of the ground aggression, including more than 25 vehicles in the last 48 hours. The occupation will not enjoy a moment of peace but will continuously pay the price. I say to our people, you are the victorious side by the will of Allah.

      The confrontation is asymmetrical but still frightens and terrifies the strongest force in the region.

      โญ• Arab League summit splits Arab world. The extraordinary summit of the Arab League and the OIC was again held without concrete solutions to the Palestinian issue. Iranian President Raisi expectedly called for sanctions against Israel. Participating countries held Israel responsible for war crimes and called for an immediate stop to the shelling, but the matter went no further.ย 

      Opinions of the Arab member countries of the Arab League are divided. A coalition of countries led by Algeria called for a complete cessation of diplomatic, economic and military relations with Israel , and for the use of Arab countries’ economic power to pressure Israel.

      This position found support among many Arab countries – Palestine, Syria, Algeria, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Tunisia, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, and Yemen voted for the adoption of the plan.

      At the same time, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, as expected, did not make harsh statements. But is it possible to achieve a ceasefire without effective unanimous measures?

      The split is not good for the situation . Radical formations, the Houthis, and Hezbollah are waiting for non-military intervention that would curb the escalation of the conflict. Instead, today the leader of Hezbollah has already announced in an address about increasing operations in southern Lebanon and using drones and large-caliber missiles against Israel. What’s next? [this is a necessary process. It is now fracturing the useless GCC itself. Note Kuwait, Qatar and Oman.. Also note Egypt lines up against its own interests and peoples’ will.]

      ๐Ÿ’ @Marx Engels Lenin Institute
      โญ• At the Arab League summit yesterday the following measures were proposed.

      1) Termination of all relations with Israel
      2) Withdraw permission for the US to use its bases in the region to supply Israel
      3) To threaten an oil embargo
      4) Suspend permission for Israeli civil aviation to use Arab countries airspace
      5) Call for an immediate ceasefire

      Four countries voted against these measures – Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Morocco and the UAE.

      What the PFLPย observed in 1969 is true to this day. The Arab reactionaries are a bulwark of US imperialism. They may condemn Israel but they will refuse to take any meaningful action because their interests are bound up with US imperialism. [the abject refused even to THREATEN them! Their fate is now sealed. This will now likely draw in outside powers too, to counter and pacify the crazed imperialists]

      The Iranian president, who traveled to Saudi Arabia to participate in the extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, met with the Saudi Crown Prince on the sidelines of the summit.
      This is the first visit of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Saudi Arabia after 11 years.

      In this meeting, Raeesi presented 10 solutions and urgent suggestions for making decisive decisions in favor of the Palestinian nation.

      1: The act of stopping the killing of Gaza and ending the attacks is blind.
      2: Complete lifting of the siege and the reopening of the Rafah crossing with the help of the Egyptian brothers and all Islamic and Arab leaders.
      3: The immediate withdrawal of the Zionist military from Gaza.
      4: Cutting off any political connections and experiences with the Zionist regime by Islamic countries and supporting the boycotters of Zionist goods.
      5: Islamic states must declare the Zionist army a terrorist organization.
      6: Forming a fair court to investigate the Zionist regime’s actions and prosecute the Israeli and American officials for participating in this crime.
      7: Formation of a fund for the reconstruction of Gaza.
      8: Sending humanitarian convoys to the Palestinian people.
      9: Naming the bombing of Gaza hospitals as the day of genocide and crime against humanity.
      10: Arming the Palestinian people to confront the war-mongering occupier in case the occupation continues.
