      Ritter doesn’t discuss the spiritual but is masterful at connecting the economic war the Yemenis wage in the south to the economic war waged by Hezbollah in the north to the one waged by Hamas by pinning 300k workers in Gaza. What is left unsaid was emphasized by the Israeli ambassador to Russia: all this is irrelevant for local Zionists. Big Brother Satan in Washington covers the tab. So this ultimately accelerates the dissolution of the US itself, already bankrupt. The War on the Imperial economy is an unappreciated front opened by the Resistance — will it be the last straw landing on the camel’s back??

      Ritter also believes that as soon as the bombing by Israel ceases, as soon as visuals of slaughter cease … things will ‘go back to normal’.  I turned off the video a few seconds after he began expressing that pov… as I think Ritter is WRONG. He discounts the beating the destroyed ‘illusion’ of both ‘israel’ and the USA have experienced.  The WORLD will NOT forget. His belief  that other countries do not care about occupied Palestine is false, in my opinion… it is the constant protection of the USA since the beginning of the zionist occupation  that has allowed ‘israel’ to continue to steal land portion by portion for the last 8 + decades.  That protection will cease as USA is BROKE… the EOL is dying… no other country will step in to ‘save’ the ‘project’ … imho.

        Note that sometimes people pour onto wood kerosene and toss a match. And sometimes it fails to ignite. Then they throw another match. Ignition is something that happens. Think of it as arson. Ritter may be right about the image density in locus zone A.. Note that probably doesn’t matter…and the images have been saved, and will be revisited. The RFK as spoiler seems to have gone funny, eh? Gaza did that, made him absurd…and what does this imply for the dark strategy in re the Trumpyfella… Civil chaos just ahead… one effect of the endless washing of propaganda and lies of all sorts, and perverse distractions, has been to create a civil landscape floating on violence and emotion. Highly available for storms. Note that when the grain ships stopped arriving locus Rome… The sodomy in the Senate image is highly appropriate… eh? They bugger everybody, one way or t’other. How, we wonder, does this play in Salt Lake City, for example, or Texas…

          Dear Mr P, iirc then Ritter was not so keen to see Gonzalo Lira make his escape on his motorcycle to Hungary. In fact, he accused Lira of being an agent of the Ukrainian Intelligence Service (SBU). That’s when I stopped trusting his analysis.

            Yes, my Friend, and I too would not trust the Ritter. Marine type US…  I have worked with for years in several venues. My assessment is that they are abnormal adults… my default opinion. As individuals… well, they aren’t that tough. 😉  (girls talk about the fellas, an I have heard from girls) They “compensate”, and there is a lot of homoerotic sub-theme, well, not always hidden… I am sure Ritter is sincere though, honest, and a self-promoter…not, in view of the circumstance, a bad thing. Gonzalo, imho, was, due to transient stress psychosis, irrational in circumstance 404 not rational. Motorcycle escape highly dramatic, seductive, Mr G seduced himself… (I would have walked out the hard way, and have done in youth, albeit in less political arena, 60 miles in one night, barefooted in freezing condition.) Thus attempts at rational explanation by Ritter yield false conclusion.  At 50+, well, the walk might give way to the bike…

            Thanks Sudhi. We agree, I think. Best! P

        That’s why I said he doesn’t “discuss” the spiritual. Initially I had he doesn’t “understand” the spiritual, but I have no way of knowing that..

        Yes, he has his blind spots, as do we all. And he may be hamstrung by (1) being a loyal Marine. It is a granite worldview, albeit they do admit the truth when it hits them repeatedly on the skullcap, (2) not being of the region and understanding the inflexion point reached, (3) still sympathetic to israelis, with whom he work on site for decades, and may still conflate pleasant leftish intellectual jewish friends of his in USA with the rabid eschatological zionist lot currently inhabiting the Holy Land, and (4) he is driven cynical by the bottomless corruption at the imperial core and worldwide — again, living deep in the forest, he may not appreciate another global inflexion point that has been reach with the combination of 404 + Gaza…

        Note even in his Judge Nap video I posted a few days ago, he didn’t finish the thought of the implication of the unmitigated disaster for the combined West of sponsoring and covering for Genocide in front of all mankind + having lost military supremacy + rapid ongoing separation from the post-WW2 western financial system. He has a teenage daughter. What does it mean for her prospects in USA in a decade or less, assuming we avert Armageddon??

        So it may be wishful thinking on his part that things can go back to the same old same old sordidness. Ain’t gonna happen. Too many nations want to bury the Beast and wall off the sponsoring Sea Pirates. And they are organized, united, willing to sacrifice MILLIONS for the job, and have the requisite tools now.

      Last? Well, it may be supposed that the scene will become less defined by straw than by turmoil and chaos attended by many early deaths. The machine wrecks itself…mostly via delusions followed by bankrupsy and internal strife. Such affairs stew for a time, I am sorry to say.

      In the end, the defined “no nazi state on Russian borders” means precisely what for Alaska? There are several reasonably pacific alternatives, and some other kinds. Speaking of Alaska…if we assume the Alaska rejoins her mother…then the problem resurfaces with Canada…

        Dear AHH,

        I meant no criticism of your posting of Ritter’s video… his initial comments are much appreciated;  my post was harsh … and I agree with all of your points as they relate to his stated pov with regard to ‘the future’ .  It becomes more difficult every day for me to fight the urge to hate…  Namaste

      The hope of ending ‘Israel’s fever dream’: An interview with Craig Mokhiber

      The hope of ending ‘Israel’s fever dream’: An interview with Craig Mokhiber


      “In a wide-ranging interview, Craig Mokhiber reflects on his time as Director of the New York Office of the UN’s High Commissioner of Human Rights after he stepped down in protest over the UN’s failure to prevent a “textbook case of genocide” in Gaza…

      All The Propaganda Is Splattering Against A Solid Wall of Reality
      https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2023/12/16/all-the-propaganda-is-splattering-against-a-solid-wall-of-reality/
      “The western empire churns out propaganda narratives about what Israel is doing, and those narratives are crashing headlong into raw video footage and concrete facts in ways you don’t often see…

      Here are some examples of made-up narratives:
      • October 7 was an unprovoked attack
      • This a war of defense and Israel has a right to defend itself
      • Jewish people can’t be safe unless they have a homeland in which they receive preferential treatment over other ethnic groups
      • There cannot be peace until Hamas is eliminated
      • All civilian casualties are the fault of Hamas

      Here are some examples of objective reality:

      • Raw video footage of civilians who’ve been burned, mutilated and ripped apart by Israeli military explosives
      • Photos of dead children who’ve been killed in Israeli airstrikes
      • The objective fact that journalists are being killed at a historically unprecedented rate in this onslaught
      • The objective fact that children are being killed at a much higher rate than in other modern conflicts
      • The objective fact that Israel is laying siege to a civilian population while systematically displacing them en masse and destroying their healthcare system

      Witnesses Say IDF Troops ‘Executed’ Women and Children in Gaza School
      https://www.commondreams.org/news/gaza-school-attack
      The Biden administration “must respond to the reported execution-style massacre of women, children, and babies,” said the spokesperson of a U.S. Muslim advocacy group.
      Eyewitness testimony reported Wednesday by Al Jazeera accused Israeli troops of massacring forcibly displaced women and children sheltering at a school in northern Gaza, an allegation that prompted a leading U.S. Muslim advocacy group to demand a response from President Joe Biden.

      🔸Forwarded from Ostashko!
      ▪️During the fighting in Shegaya, the IDF accidentally identified a number of hostages as enemies – the IDF opened fire on them, and they were killed.
      This is a sad incident, and the IDF is responsible for everything, what happened,” said an Israeli army spokesman.
      Israeli media report that the three young men are Yotam Haim, Samer Talalka and Alon Shamriz, were able to independently escape from Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip. However, when they approached the Israeli soldiers, they mistook them for militants and opened fire. The IDF has already ordered an internal audit.
      ❗️This blatant case once again confirms that Israeli soldiers, who have received complete carte blanche for violence in Gaza, shoot at literally everyone – even completely unarmed civilians and their own compatriots. After this, there is even less faith in the “careful and targeted” assaults on Palestinian hospitals and “Hamas bases” located under schools and residential buildings.
      ✊Hundreds of Israelis protested in Tel Aviv after the shooting of hostages
      Earlier, IDF soldiers shot three hostages during fighting in Shejaiya, mistaking them for Hamas militants. Protesters demand urgent measures to return the remaining hostages from captivity, and also want Netanyahu’s resignation.

      🇾🇪The Red Sea is essentially blocked, and this will greatly affect the world market.
      The Red Sea is the eastern funnel of the Suez Canal, accounting for about 22% of international container trade and about 10% world oil trade🛢
      The fact that Maersk is suspending all sailings on the Red Sea is significant as they operate 15.3% of the world’s container ship fleet. ranking second after the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), which controls 18.6%.
      In the last 24 hours alone, three commercial vessels were attacked, leading to disruptions in supplies to Israel, which means the Israel-Hamas conflict has already gone beyond the borders of one country.
      🤔 Off the top of my head, if the Red Sea really ceases to be part of global supply chains, the price of oil will jump significantly, which will alsocause prices for everything to rise, and inflation will leapfrog Covid times (due to the blockage of the Suez Canal, hypothetically).
      The overall picture shows that in a couple of weeks, the Yemeni Houthis can influence the world market much more seriousthan all the economic sanctions of the West against all their opponents combined.
      ❗️Keep in mind the departure of American aircraft carriers from the Persian Gulf (perhaps this is a regrouping to counteract in the Red Sea region).
      🔴 But here there is a nuance – having entered into a confrontation with a country in the Middle East, the United States will give the green light to the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” and the Syrians and Iranians to respond, but this time fully at US military bases and oil fields throughout the Middle East.
      ▪️Hamas again posted a video of the destruction of Israeli tanks
      It can be noted that Palestinian militants are using urban space extremely effectively. At the same time, the IDF continues to abandon tanks to slaughter without providing infantry cover.

      ▪️Vladimir Putin expressed condolences to the new emir of Kuwait on the death of Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah
      Emir of Kuwait Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah died at the age of 86 years old (pictured).
      The Kuwaiti government has announced Crown Prince Mishaal al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah as the new emir.

      🔸Forwarded from The Cradle:
      ❗️A former commander of the elite Golani Brigade in the Israeli army to Channel 12 Hebrew:
      “The brigade lost a quarter of its combat forces in the Gaza battles.”
      ▪️❗️Israeli media: A drone that was launched from Lebanon apparently hit an Israeli army gathering in Margaliot.
      ▪️🇾🇪 Spokesman of Yemen armed forces, Yahya Saree:
      The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a drone attack against sensitive targets in Eilat in southern occupied Palestine.
      ▪️❗️Spokesman for Hamas’ Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida:
      The enemy is still gambling with the lives of the captured soldiers, not caring about the feelings of their families. Yesterday, it deliberately executed three of them and preferred to kill them rather than liberate them.
      This blatant criminal behavior that the enemy practiced and continues to practice against the captives in Gaza, is a desperate attempt to get rid of the burden of this file and its entitlements.

      ▪️While fierce fighting continued between Palestinian Resistance and invading Israeli forces, Israel bombed several residential neighborhoods in Gaza, focusing mostly on Jabaliya.
      ▪️Internationally, pro-Palestinian rallies and protests are reported in many cities around the world as the White House still refuses to call for an immediate ceasefire.
      ▪️Yazan, the son of slain Palestinian journalist Samer Abu Daqqa, said that Israel deliberately assassinated his father and that the family plans to file a case before the International Criminal Court, Al-Jazeera reported.
      ▪️A mother and her daughter were killed by Israeli snipers on Saturday at the Holy Family Church in the Al Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City.

      Noting that China and Russia are rapidly building large surface fleets, including carriers in the scale of 40k ton… In modern arena big fat targets. (BFTs)

      What for?

      As we have seen, force projection from sea is more or less futile now, unless it is applied against impoverished natives armed with nothing more than light arms…Carriers not necessary against speed-boats…and useless against modern submarine or rocket flyers…so?

        Yes. I fear so too. And Yemen may be the dry run on cost-effective sea control, and of cutting supply lines… perhaps a period of softening up, hunger and privation, and internal chaos, a la Iraq in 1990s prior to 2003 invasion. That may suffice in and of itself. If needed, what remains is mop-up duty and to safeguard, dismantle and remove the WMDs. I fear the decision was made to completely dismantle the crazed bastards; render them incapable of being a nuisance even to Mexico. They have left no alternative.

      💠@Resistance News Network:
      Normalizing Arab countries are coming to the aid of the zionist entity to circumvent Yemen’s siege on goods arriving at the “Eilat” port as the zionist entity faces a price worth billions of dollars for its siege on Gaza.

      As hundreds are martyred due to hunger and thirst in #Gaza, Jordan, Bahrain, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia utilize a land bridge to send food to the zionist entity. Last week, Jordan sent 500 tons of tomatoes to the zionist entity, which sought a substitute for Turkish and Gazan ones after they became unavailable.

      Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Jordan continue to serve as stooges for the zionist entity, shooting down drones and missiles from Yemen alongside Egypt, US, UK, and France in recent weeks. [GCC (except Kuwait & Oman), Egypt, and Jordan are as doomed as their zionazi suzerains. And even if 99% of mankind lines up against the puny Palestinians it will not matter an iota. They will still get smashed, as did Goliath and his Hosts. Indeed, even Yemenis are redundant; a mere tool of divine mockery to highlight lost sea supremacy of the Sea Pirates]

      ⭕ Leading global logistics companies such as Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, and ZIM have stopped using the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Maersk alone accounts for 14.8% of global trade. As large companies one stop using the region, the scale of the economic crisis in Israel, especially in the West, will gradually increase.

      Israel’s $22 billion trade with the Asian Far East was also disrupted and had to go around the Cape of Good Hope. The 15,000 km route between Rotterdam and Singapore via the Suez Canal has now expanded to more than 20,000 km via the Cape of Good Hope, and the damage is mounting.

      Yemen’s Houthi-led government is interfering with the West, imposing a comprehensive trade embargo and creating a logistics crisis that no one has yet been able to implement effectively.
      [The USA and Europe, have been increasingly reliant on food imports, just like basic stuff from China to put on Walmart shelves… “Note that when the grain ships stopped arriving locus Rome…” Will the zionist cancerous entity be the only soon subjected to a total global Sea blockade?? Not that this would displease Deagle at all; in fact, it was likely calculated into the figures. “Raising the Moshiach” as Gaza is intended to do, would have a predictable reaction from the Rest of Humanity.

      last week, smoothie mentioned israel was costing america 300million$ a day.   accurate or not good enough for government work.  from 2008 empire has been living on fumes, fabrication & a mythical press.  israel will destroy what’s left of empire all by itself.   hate rules now.  we witness hate in the 404 meatgrinder, hate self immolates.   empire played with hate without comprehending hate eats its own.

      dear cronetoo, it took ritter some months (possibly 6 or more) before understanding mother was not going to lose.  no matter he understands the american psyche.  america will lose interest once the pictures disappear.  bernays set america in a jelly mould: sans God, family, faith, history, honour, moral core, truth or the art of learning how to think. you are right, the rest of the world will never forget.  of that we can be assured.

      america’s flag—its stars are the zionist stars of david; the red is the blood she drowns within; the white phosphorus represents the global dispersal of white powder & propaganda & the blue…the blue is the only true thing america ever gave the world—the blues.

      Longlongtimeago in cadet period it was made clear to me that after bombardments when infantry comes into zone, infantry does “mop-up”. Clear? Yes, mop-up, it was clear, meant kill everything.

      In Syrian Fallujah the US officer was actually heard to say, did you kill everybody? Enlisted replied: yeah…

      Noting US and zionist armies are coordinated, as are the cops.

      You will have perhaps noticed that in the US “the shooter” (so they say) seldom arrives at trial. He’s dead. This is cop mop up? Sure looks like it.

      ⭕ Martyr Mohammed Zouari: the Resisting Intellectual, Falcon of Tunisia.
      Glory to the educated and resistant rifle.
      Glory to the academic martyr Mohamed Zouari.
      December 15th marks the 7th anniversary of Mohamed Zouari’s martyrdom, our heroic engineer who pioneered the resistance’s drone capabilities and dedicated his life to the Islamic resistance. |video|
      🔹Falcon of Tunisia (1/2):
      An outstanding engineer, Zouari had shown academic prowess from a young age. He pursued his studies in the Faculty of Engineering in Sfax, southern Tunisia, where he was born and raised. In addition to being an exceptional scientist, Zouari carried the Islamic and revolutionary cause as his core ideal, never settling for lukewarm positions or compromising.

      Captivated by the Hamas movement and its leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Zouari sought to join the movement along with 14 other young Tunisian men. All but Zouari and 2 others were arrested. Zouari sought refuge in Sudan and Syria, where he gained valuable technical experience and continued his revolutionary path. While in Sudan, he traveled to Bosnia and Herzegovina to aid its Muslim population in the 1990s. Zouari connected with Islamic resistance movements from around the world, including the Palestinian resistance movement, using mosques as a networking locale.

      Zouari was later recruited in Al-Qassam Brigades due to his mastery of mechanical engineering and computer science, as well as their application in military technology, and later inducted into the development and manufacturing unit. Zouari continued his traveling, notably to Syria and Iran, where he partook in aerospace training programs to further enrich his expertise.

      Picking up where other martyrs left off, Zouari was central in the development of the Ababil reconnaissance and attack drones used by the Al-Qassam Brigades. Yet, Zouari’s most recent project was developing a submarine drone. Zouari returned to his hometown Sfax to develop it while using it as the core of his doctoral thesis. Having reached a breakthrough for the resistance in Gaza, many speculate it was this project, along with his previous contributions, that led to his cowardly assassination Mossad. His idea nevertheless came to fruition and was developed into the Al-Asif torpedo used by Al-Qassam Brigades today.
      🔹Falcon of Tunisia (2/2):
      A modest man, Zouari never sought recognition. Due to the secrecy of his work, he used many aliases, most well-known as “Murad al-Tunisi” (Murad the Tunisian). His own family, brimming with pride, found out about his resistance work only after Hamas’ announcement of his martyrdom. Though an excellent academic, he did not attain a degree under his true name. Despite his obscurity in life, his legacy lives on in the voices of Tunisians and Gazans, who vowed: “We will not let the martyr Mohamed Zouari be forgotten.”

      Seven years ago, Mossad assassins fired dozens of shots as Zouari entered his car in Sfax. Zouari was martyred, but the influence of his ideas rippled throughout the resistance.

      Zouari’s legacy continues to mark the resistance landscape in the region. As Zouari learned from others, the seeds he planted led to the development of advanced drones with enhanced capabilities for Al-Qassam, as well as a suite of reconnaissance and attack drones developed by Saraya Al-Quds in Syria under the guidance of martyrs Ali Al-Aswad and Awad Al-Qeeq.

      With his UAVs, Al-Qassam Brigades struck “israeli” factories and a natural gas platform in 2014. [and the loons want to steal Gaza’s gas!!]  The Al-Qassam Brigades announced that 35 Zouari drones, named after the heroic martyr, were used at the start of Al-Aqsa Flood to destroy enemy military targets and allow for the penetration of the fighters into the occupied lands. Since the start of the battle, the Brigades have made plenty of use of the drones named in his honor, targeting IOF bases and sites in the zionist depth, and targets within Gaza during the ongoing invasion.

      Martyr Basil Al-Araj stated: “You want to be an intellectual? You must resist. Otherwise, you and your education are useless.” Zouari fulfilled his responsibility as a Muslim, an intellectual, and a resistor. Zouari, you will remain an icon, and your deeds eternal, and your continuous struggle in the service of the Islamic resistance and knowledge will outline the path of liberating Palestine, by air and sea.

The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission reported in its statement released today, Sunday, that the female prisoners in “Damon” Prison, especially those arrested from the Gaza Strip, are facing extremely difficult detention conditions and are subjected to intensified punishments that are increasing daily since the beginning of the war on the [Gaza] Strip on 07/10/2023.

      The Commission, through its lawyer, reported that the occupation forces launched a wide arrest campaign in the West Bank, Al-Quds, the occupied interior, and Gaza, against our female prisoners, all of whom were subjected to torture and abuse from the moment of arrest until entering prison, whether through beating and insults, or naked searches, along with solitary confinement and deprivation of basic rights.

      The prison administration deliberately subjected female detainees from the Gaza Strip to the worst treatment. One of the prisoners confirmed this, saying: “A few days ago, an elderly woman (80 years old) from Gaza, walking with a cane and without a head cover, arrived in the section. Her body and clothes were covered in blood, and she seemed to know nothing, apparently suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. All female prisoners from the Strip had their clothes taken and replaced with summer clothes. They recounted difficult days before arriving at “Damon” Prison, where they faced a lot of beating and assault in addition to continuous insults and curses. Some of them stayed 7 days outdoors under the rain and cold. All female prisoners from the Strip arrived at the prison in a pitiable state, from all health, physical, and psychological aspects.

      One of the female prisoners from Gaza, who is a mother, said that when she was arrested, she was accompanied by her four young children. Not knowing what to do with them, she handed them to a man from Gaza near her, not knowing who he was, and left them without knowing their fate. Others also left their children on the street when they were arrested.”

      The aforementioned testimonies represent only a very small part of what we could access, and what is hidden is greater. The prison administration deliberately isolates the female prisoners of Gaza from other prisoners and from the outside world entirely, to continue committing its crimes without accountability or oversight. [they want a complete genocide of ANY from Gaza, whether in Gaza or elsewhere, removing their winter clothes for light summer clothes, hastening illnesses and disease onset. Note the mothers, and Palestinian mothers are known for exceptional care of children — would rather abandon them to total strangers in the streets rather than risk taking them into zionist gulags. This is a Total War primarily on women, who bear the next generation, and children. The extermination policy meted to native Americans.]

      💠 @Hamas/Tsahal:
      ⭕ Israel’s air campaign has been particularly fierce. It is said to have dropped 29,000 munitions in total. That’s almost exactly as much as America and Britain dropped on all of Iraq in the first month of the war in 2003 and the equivalent of just under 500 bombs a day.

      Israel also uses an unusually high number of unguided munitions – from 10% of the total in the first two weeks after October 7, to 40-45% today. Israel has purchased approximately $1.9 billion worth of precision-guided munitions (PGMs) from U.S. companies since 2015, including 14,500 JDAM kits and thousands of laser-guided missiles.

      Since October 7, America has sent at least 15,000 bombs to Israel, including approximately 3,000 JDAMs. In November, Biden told Congress he planned to send $320 million worth of SPICE munitions, which resemble JDAM kits. Israel is not necessarily short of resources. Many Israeli officials fear a more serious war is brewing with Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group.

      Israel has also threatened to strike the Houthis in Yemen, another Iran-allied militant group that fires ballistic missiles toward Israel. These groups, as well as Iran, have access to more sophisticated air defense systems than those of Hamas, capable of striking farther and higher targets. The Israeli Air Force likely wants to preserve its stockpile of smart bombs for these better-defended enemies. Source: The Economist

      Regarding Yemen & Operation Prosperity Guardian, here are the facts, as of the 17th of December 2023.
      1) The Operation will involve securing over an area of three million square kilometers, that means it will cover practically all of the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and a part of the Indian Ocean.
      2) The U.S Intends to enlist the help of over 40 nations who have interest in this operation
      3) The list of participants of this operation, as of yet, has not been disclosed – no one knows who will take part of it except the U.S
      4) The Operation’s main goal is to secure the shipping lanes that will transit the Red Sea, as of yet, there is no declared goal to attack the Houthis in Yemen. [and how can they be secured without attacking Ansar Allah??]

      Hezbollah has options:
      . Use shorter and more destructive rockets undetected by the interception system.
      . Close the Mediterranean’s access.
      . Destroy gas platforms
      and much more. [Response to this tweet; Magnier may not appreciate the eschatological moment. He is old school rational journalist grounded on Reality. The supranationalist crazies are ALL in. They’ve burnt all bridges to the Rest of Humanity. As Bibi said in above quote, if they retreat, they die, and in unpleasant ways. So Hezbollah will be attacked, and the US will be sacrificed in the process…]
      ⭕ Donald Trump left office waiting for a call from #Iran, & @EmmanuelMacron hasn’t learned the lesson. Why does this president insist on having any role in a conflict around the world, ignoring the fact that he has lost all influence on the international stage? [response to Macron’s saying his phone is open for Putin to call, LOL. Impotent Narcissists are the last to get the memo]
      ⭕ Very true. #Israel has murdered 90 journalists in the last 70 days. Why? The answer is simple: no accountability for all its crimes, crimes against humanity and violations of international law. [response to: “Israel has killed more than one journalist per day since the 7th of October”]
      ⭕ The Israeli child killers have received a black eye and a serious blow for their lack of morality by not respecting international laws and conventions: The 3 Israeli prisoners were carrying white flags and calling for help and rescue in Ebrew when #Israeli occupation forces opened fire and killed them with several bullets each. |THREAD| [on why the three returning zionist POWs were deliberately killed. It has to do with “mop-up duty” policy, per Mr P] 
      ⭕ Israel killed and wounded 70,000 Palestinians in #Gaza in 70 days. That is 1000 per day. [and these are sorely inadequate official stats…]
      ⭕ The story of this “mistake” smells terrible. #Israel’s occupation forces are not telling the truth. There are many holes and unanswered questions.
      ⭕ Asymmetrical warfare environments, guerrilla tactics, & high-intensity urban combat complicate identification & decisions unless the priority of the mission is not to liberate the Israeli prisoners but to destroy #Gaza & its inhabitants. @netanyahu doesn’t want his soldiers alive
      ⭕ I explained to @AJEnglish how the Palestinian resistance inflicted moral defeat on the Israeli army and how the lack of professionalism and the rule of engagement [RoE] caused #Israel to kill its own soldiers in #Gaza.
      ⭕ Israel RoE is to kill anyone in #Gaza that the Israeli Occupation Forces did not see in a school or a hospital in the first place. The 3 soldiers were killed because the instructions were to open fire indiscriminately and without referring back to the chain of command [and we’ve seen even point-blank executions and bombings taking place in schools and hospitals. ALL of Gaza is now a free-fire zone, one glorious My Lai from the north to the Egyptian border…]
      ⭕ Being in an army without morals creates a boomerang effect. Decades ago, the Israeli army executed Egyptian and Jordanian soldiers after they surrendered. It is standard procedure for #Israel to execute not only prisoners but also the international law and the Geneva Convention
      Europe should bring to justice all Israeli double nationals who join the Israeli occupation forces reservists and are responsible for committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in #Gaza [Will not happen. In fact the reverse is happening — protesters of conscience are being arrested…]

      Israeli military claims that the hostages were mistaken for “a threat” (i.e. Palestinains).
      Israeli forces seem to consider Palestinians as “threats” by default, who can be shot at even when posing no harm & waving a white flag
      ⭕ By destroying #Gaza, #Israel believed it was gaining the upper hand and intimidating the Palestinian resistance. On the contrary, it has provided the resistance with hiding places and perfect ambushes to inflict heavy casualties on the invader.
      Hezbollah has sent Israel a list of targets in all of the Israeli-occupied territories (Haifa, Tel Aviv included) to be destroyed if the Israeli occupation forces bomb Hezbollah’s ammunition in different parts of #Lebanon, as they have threatened to do over the past 48 hours.
      ⭕ A #US coalition is bringing in #Germany, #France, and the #UK to support #Israel’s continuous murdering of Palestinian civilians in #Gaza. Shame. You are increasing the potentiality of enlarging the conflict to a regional one.

In the Soviet Era, Rustaveli became something of a national hero, with his works being translated into languages across the Eastern Bloc. His final resting place being in Palestine additionally provided a further link between the Soviet Union and the Palestinian liberation struggle, whom they shared close ties with.

      Death and Destruction in Gaza
      by JOHN J. MEARSHEIMER
      https://mearsheimer.substack.com/p/death-and-destruction-in-gaza
      What Israel is doing in Gaza to the Palestinian civilian population – with the support of the Biden administration – is a crime against humanity that serves no meaningful military purpose. As J-Street, an important organization in the Israel lobby, puts it, “The scope of the unfolding humanitarian disaster and civilian casualties is nearly unfathomable.”

      Why is the media ignoring evidence of Israel’s own actions on 7 October?

      Why is the media ignoring evidence of Israel’s own actions on 7 October?


      “The BBC and others keep revisiting Hamas crimes that day, but fail to report on growing evidence that Israel killed its own citizens, often in grotesque fashion”

      GAZA LIVE BLOG: DAY 72

      GAZA LIVE BLOG: Israel Intensifies Bombing of Gaza | Scores of Civilians Killed in Deir Al-Balah, Jabaliya, Khan Younis | Israeli Officers Killed – DAY 72


      ▪️At least 12 Palestinians were killed and 20 others wounded when Israel bombed a home in the Deir Al-Balah refugee camp in central Gaza.
      ▪️This was one of numerous overnight strikes that targeted all regions in Gaza, including Jabaliya in the north and Khan Younis in the south.
      ▪️Meanwhile, fierce fighting continued unabated, focused mostly in the east Khan Younis area, as Palestinian Resistance continued to propel Israeli advancement.
      ▪️According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 18,800 Palestinians have been killed and more than 51,000 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
      ▪️France’s Foreign Ministry has condemned an Israeli airstrike in Gaza that led to the death of one of its diplomatic staff in Rafah.
      Following her arrival on an official visit to Israel on Sunday, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna called for an “immediate and durable” truce.
      The diplomat also expressed concern over the rising civilian death toll in Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli military operation in the Palestinian enclave 🤥
      ▪️The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported alarming conditions at Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical center in Gaza, describing its emergency department as a “bloodbath.”
      ▪️’It is Terrorism’ – Pope Francis Condemns Attacks on Civilians in Gaza
      Pope Francis condemned an attack on the compound of the Catholic parish, “where there are no terrorists, but families, children, people who are sick and have disabilities, and nuns.”
      “A mother, Mrs. Nahida Khalil Anton, and her daughter, Samar Kamal Anton, were killed, and others were wounded by the shooters while they were going to the bathroom,” said the Pope 🤥

      https://en.mehrnews.com/news/209674/How-Karma-infiltrate-Mossad-Octopus
      ▪️The “KarMa” hacking group has provided documents to the Mehr News Agency that show the depth of this group’s infiltration of “Mossad” and “Octopus” as the largest cyber security company of the Zionist regime.
      ▪️Forces of the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance movement have continued their strikes on Israeli military sites close to the border between Lebanon and the occupied territories, in response to the Tel Aviv regime’s war on Gaza.
      ▪️New drone attacks have targeted two US military bases in Syria, according to Arab media reports on Saturday.
      ▪️Iran’s Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi has blamed the Zionist regime of Israel for supporting the terrorists that perpetrated the deadly attack on a police station in Rask, southeast of Iran.

      The video is a look at the history of the region from early on. In particular about the British motivation for settling Jews in Palestine. It’s long, about an hour. Introduction –
      All too often, the question of Palestine is framed as an eternal conflict arising from ancient ethnic or religious hatreds, with questions regarding the origins of the state of Israel and the legitimacy egitimacy of land claims reduced to matters of scriptural interpretation. Such views entirely omit the actual history of Palestine and the Zionist movement. The colonization of Palestine, a process still playing out before our eyes to this day, has definite historical origins at the turn of the 20th century, when Zionism was born and the encroachment of Palestinian land began.

[Yes. This is self-evident. Can we avert the Birth of a greater Beast on its, and the combined western, corpse?? This question remains open. Gaza is essentially about “Birthing the Moshiach” through seas of innocent blood]
      ⭕ In Israeli TV and radio media, analysts and speakers lament that the whole world has become anti-Semitic and opposes Israel’s military action in Gaza. Three members of the Netanyahu government insulted the American people and called them names and one minister, Belazel Smotrich, of Ukrainian origin, said that Israel can do without the United States and will continue its war in Gaza. [do they hold and distribute these expected results of these polls to firm zionist populations’ resolve to cull the rest of mankind??

      The Americans are trying, in coordination with Great Britain, to promote a Security Council resolution that will condemn the attacks call for their cessation, and emphasize the importance of sea routes. The interesting question is: will the Americans succeed, given the dynamics in the Security Council? Also, the question is, will Iran’s involvement and intentions be highlighted?

      Gulf countries help Israel break Houthi blockade. In recent weeks, a pilot project for a new land route from the ports of Dubai and Bahrain to Israel, transiting through Saudi Arabia and Jordan, has been successful.
      🔹Goods arriving in Bahrain, the UAE and Saudi Arabia began to be delivered to Israel by land.
      🔹The first ten trucks arrived from the Persian Gulf ports to Israel. Thus, the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and Jordan are helping Israel break the Houthi blockade.
      🔹The land corridor, which has received approval from the Israeli Defense Ministry and government, is expected to provide a faster alternative to the Suez Canal route and longer sea shipments, which are forced to extend the route by an average of about three weeks to avoid the threat from the Houthis.
      🔹The overland journey from Dubai, a distance of 2,550 km, takes four days, and from Bahrain, a distance of 1,700 km, takes two days and seven hours. [this cannot last. Costs and small volumes involved are prohibitive to feed millions… and the last land route is through Jordan, which is ~70% Palestinian refugees…. tic-tic-tic. They MUST solve the Sea route.

      🔹51% of Americans aged 18-24 support Hamas and are considering the destruction of Israel.
      🔹96% of Americans aged 65+ support Israel.
      🔹In Israel this is considered a very dangerous trend. An increasing number of young people are opposed to Israel and actively support Palestine.
      🔹In almost all institutions in the world that are included in the TOP 10 and 100 universities, students actively support Palestine. The danger for Israel is that these students will lead their countries in the future or occupy key positions. [no problem.

      Based on Exodus 12:
      21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
      22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
      23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
      24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
      25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
      26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
      27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
      28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
      29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
      30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

      The warped zeal and corrupt fanaticism of the zionazis fascinates. They are doing this to Gaza, no?? Taking their “promised land” and smiting on behalf of their “lord.” And what is planned for the poor Egyptians and their cattle, led by the most inadequate and suicidal Junta brass imaginable, rushing to their own slaughter? Terrible tribulations to match Gaza. They hate Egyptians even more than Russians, given what the Pharaohs did to “them” and how the Egyptian Navy stymied the first Crusades in alliance with Saladin and how they remain a potent land army threatening them today…

      ⭕ 🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

      Arab Countries’ Involvement in Supplying the Enemy is a Stab in the Back of the Nation and an Unforgivable Betrayal

      The Popular Front considers the increasing information about the involvement of several Arab countries in supplying the zionist enemy through their territories as a clear indication of the extent of these governments’ involvement in the aggressive project against our people.

      The denial of these governments of the data about their involvement in supplying the enemy cannot be credible unless accompanied by clear decisions to sever relations with this enemy, close ports and Arab lands and airspace to it, and join the heroic action undertaken by Yemen, both leadership and people, to besiege the enemy.

      Continuing relations with the zionist enemy, and direct cooperation with it or any of the parties of the aggression alliance against our people, is a treacherous stab and a poisoned dagger in the back of our people and the peoples of the Arab nation. There is no place for tolerance, laxity, or silence in the face of such a traitorous role.

      The Front reiterates its call to the Arab peoples and forces to pressure the faltering Arab governments cooperating with the enemy, to besiege the embassies and bases of the countries of aggression, and to escalate the struggle against the interests of these countries and strike them and harm them with every available tool, considering this a duty and necessity to stop the genocidal war against the people of Palestine and to restore the dignity, sovereignty, and authority of our Arab nations over their decisions, lands, and resources.

      🔹Yemen considers “israel” a threat to the [Arab and Islamic] nation, encompassing both the people and states, posing a real danger to the unity of the Islamic nation.
      🔹Yemen’s operations have a significant economic impact on the “israeli” enemy and serve as a justification for the Islamic world.
      🔹There is ongoing communication with influential and impactful countries, aiming to achieve stated objectives, including lifting the blockade on Gaza and stopping the aggression against it.
      🔹The Palestinian cause is non-negotiable, and we cannot accept what is happening to the people of Gaza.
      🔹Any actions carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces are linked to lifting the siege on Gaza and halting the aggression against it.
      🔹If you want to stop Yemen’s naval operations against the “israeli” enemy, you must lift the blockade on Gaza, and food and medicine must be allowed in.
      🔹We affirm that the Red Sea is safe except for ships associated with the “israeli” enemy. We praise the position of the Chinese company to stop sending its ships to the ports of the occupying entity.

      ⭕ ✡️🇸🇦🕎🇮🇱 Saudi Arabia Implements “One ‘Israel’ Project” To Save Zionists On Land As Yemen Crushes Them At Sea ✡️🇸🇦🕎🇮🇱

      Ready your barf bags, ladies and Gentilemen, because THIS one will make you projectile-vomit.

      As Ansarullah smashes Organized Jewry’s economic interests in Bab al-Mandab, stopping the world’s biggest shipping firms dead in their tracks, Saudi Arabia, along with the UAE, Bahrain and Jordan, comes to Zion’s rescue with a land corridor to deliver vital cargo to “Tel Aviv”.

      Using logistical tech from Talpion Hanan Fridman’s Trucknet, this “Land Connectivity By Trucks” project reduces transports from 14 days by sea to 2-4 days by ground. An integral part of the surrenderist Abraham Accords, it is the bedrock of the full Saudi-‘Israeli’ normalization expected next year. 300 trucks a day travel this route to counter Yemen’s Mouqawameen.

      The Jordanian ZOG laughably denies the project even exists… All as it participates and the first shipments arrive in the Tumor through Jordan itself by way of Riyadh and Dubai.

      Known officially as the “One ‘Israel’ Project”, the aim, as stated by Benjamin Netanyahu, is to link the Tumor to the Arabian Peninsula, specifically the tech metropolis of Neom, which is connected to Al-Saud’s Kabbalistic project to replace Islamic history in the Hijaz with Zionist-run AI surveillance cities.

      This vileness is compounded by the US ZOG announcing its bolstering of an anti-Ansarullah maritime coalition, which, in a recent, previous incarnation, Al-Saud was a key part of.

      Those who championed the faux Tehran-Riyadh “rapprochement” look like fools. And Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who said just before Al-Aqsa Flood began that Saudi-Iranian ties would “benefit the Islamic world”, looks like the biggest fool of all. Al-Saud is Al-Yahoud, as we have noted again and again and again. These Banu Anazah tyrants need to go, along with the Zio-Tumor they love so. This is but the latest and arguably most repulsive solidification. ✡️🇸🇦🕎🇮🇱

      In Canada as well, many people jabbed. In Canada they’re dropping off.

      And in “Israel”? Just wondering about this… if it’s happening, then the war may obscure the deaths…but is it?  If not, then we have more questions… 😉

      Israel’s Prime Minister Announces Ambitious Rail Expansion Project

      ⭕ Lebanese Hezbollah: “3 of our fighters were martyred [today] in confrontations with the Israeli occupation.”

      💠@DDGeopolitics:
      ⭕ Once again, we turn to the section titled “Houthi attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea and a possible American response to these actions.” The Pentagon is currently considering striking targets of the Ansarallah group in Yemen. You can read more about it here
      📌 I recall similar bold statements from the United States back in 2016. As a result, American sailors attacked several targets under Houthi control from the destroyer Nitze. Unfortunately, it was primarily civilians who suffered the most.

      However, this did not significantly impact the ongoing Arab coalition operation. Now, when we see such words in the media, it’s hard not to smile. The current situation is advantageous for the Americans, and their actions against the Houthis will likely be purely symbolic.

      Even if they strike Yemen, the Houthis will retaliate in kind, and the status quo will be restored. It’s reminiscent of the cycle of escalation in Syria and Iraq, where pro-Iranian forces target American bases, and the US Armed Forces respond in kind. And that’s where it usually ends.
      @rybar
      Syria’s air defense works against hostile targets in the sky of Damascus. Syrian media reported that the country’s air defense has countered the Zionist regime’s air invasion of Damascus airspace.

      💠@Ibn Riad:
      ⭕ The Struggles, Sacrifices & Victories that Led to Today’s Victories [PART 1]:
      It is important to understand the historical context that has led to today’s battle, not least because critical elements of it continue to be misunderstood, and some who have recently taken interest have not had the chance to correctly contextualize this background.

      The resistance in Gaza is part of the Resistance Axis, a regional cultural & military alliance led by Iran. Its members act in harmony, but also independently. (The US terms its members “Iranian proxies”, but as usual, that is a projection of how the US treat their own “allies”).

      Iran since 1979 has willingly withstood siege and isolation by the US and its cronies in the ‘international community’ for the sake of the unwavering support it offers Palestine and its resistance.

      Gaza’s resistance would quite simply not have the capabilities it does today were it not for Iran and their allies in the Axis, who supply Gaza with extensive training and experience, but weaponry, and most importantly, the capability of manufacturing their own arms locally.

      In particular, martyr Qassem Soleimani was instrumental in providing Gaza with the capabilities that it has today, and his martyrdom at the hands of the US empire came as a result of this, as well as his instrumental role in defeating US-Zionist proxy ISIS.

      Next, we must understand the crucial role of the Syrian Arab Republic, who by virtue of their geographical location and steadfast stand with Palestine and the Axis, are instrumental in keeping the resistances in Lebanon and Palestine supplied, armed and protected.

      The military capabilities of both Hizbullah the resistance factions in Palestine would simply not exist without Syria: both would be isolated and defeated piecemeal.

      Every single ATGM fired against the Zionist enemy came to the hands of the resistance fighters through Syria.

      It should at this point already be clear why the 2011 War on Syria was waged by the US and their regional proxies in the Gulf countries, Turkey and the terrorist mercenaries of Al-Qaeda, ISIS and others.

      But first, let us conduct a very, very brief historical reading:
      — In 1953, the US led a regime-change against Iran’s democratically-elected president Mossadegh, reinstating the overthrown Shah as monarch.
      — In 1979, Iran’s Islamic Revolution removed the Shah, ejected the “Israeli” ambassador and set up a Palestinian embassy in his place.

      Iran, under Ayatollah Khomeni, immediately understood the threat of the US-Zionist occupation and began work on defeating it, both through building their own military capabilities as well as supporting others who fight it.
      This would develop into today’s Resistance Axis.
      — In 1982, the Zionist army invaded south Lebanon all the way to Beirut.
      Iran extensively supported the native grassroots Lebanese resistance that emerged, and would develop into Hizbullah.
      — In 2000, the IOF was ejected from Lebanon after an extensive war of attrition by Hizbullah.
      — In 2006, the Zionist army would wage its 33-day war against Lebanon and Hizbullah – and would be roundly defeated.
      This is a critical turning point in the history of our struggle against the occupation: the first time a resistance movement had so resoundingly defeated the IOF. A similar argument can be made for the liberation of Lebanon in 2000, of course, but Hizbullah’s capabilities and performance in 2006 was simply on another level. The IOF had their first real taste of military humiliation, with plenty more to come.

      The 2006 war has become a landmark in the struggle. Suddenly, resistance was a real, viable choice (and we see this same pattern continuing to grow today). Hizbullah were seen as heroes across the Arab and Islamic world. And the US-Zionist axis could not defeat them militarily.
      ⭕ The Struggles, Sacrifices & Victories that Led to Today’s Victories [PART 1] Continued:

      — In 2011, a wave of popular Arab uprisings (the so-called “Arab Spring”) was hijacked by the US, who began a massive regime-change war against Syria. [Syria is the heart of West Asia: the key landbridge to everything — Resistance depth & support, BRI, connectivity to Europe/Africa, and the intellectual citadel of arab lands. Destroying Syria is key for satanists to protect “Israel” and safeguarding Syria is key for Resistance Axis to protect Palestinians & Lebanese]

      Corrupt Muftis called for “jihad” on behalf of the Gulf regimes. Waves of terrorists spilled into Syria to act as the US’s proxy army. Here there is no room for misunderstanding: this was a war on Syria, the Resistance Axis and Iran- thus, a war on Palestine.
      The Zionist entity opened its borders to the “Free Syrian Army”, treated ISIS in its hospitals, jammed comm signals on their behalf.

      The foremost aim of this war was protecting “Israel” by knocking out a key strategic element of the Resistance Axis, leaving the resistances in Lebanon and Gaza isolated both politically and logistically.

      If this had worked, we would not be witnessing the victories we see today. The intervention of both Hizbullah and the IRGC (Iranian revolutionary guards) in Syria was subjected to much scathing criticism, within a sectarian framework.

      This, too, was an aim of this war: the political isolation of Hizbullah and Iran within the Sunni-majority West Asia. Sectarian division (most prominently in Lebanon and Iraq) was the most successful US-Zionist tool in this time, eroding the overwhelming popularity of Hizbullah post-2006 by re-framing the conflict of the region as Sunni-Shia. In short, divide and conquer.

      In reality this intervention in Syria was within an existential framework for the entirety of the Resistance Axis and the project of armed resistance for the liberation of Palestine.
      The attempt to take out Syria was a direct result of their failure to take out Hizbullah in 2006.

      The defeat of this project was not cheap. Immense sacrifices were offered. But it is the direct reason Gaza was capable of conducting Oct 7th, both in terms of possessing the capacity for it, but also having regional backing to withstand its aftermath.

      It is tragic that there are still people who parrot the sectarian narrative of events in Syria to this day, and parrot US atrocity propaganda regarding this war, when in reality is no different to what the US has broadcast about Palestine, or indeed Ukraine.

      The open letter to America, the appeal to the American people, published in 1947 by King Abdullah – posted by Mr P at #22867 above – is wonderfully good, and if anyone skipped over it I highly recommend reading it.

      The letter is astonishingly clear, filled with irrefutable logic, and describing the same context to the Palestinian plight that we would see today – except that he wrote it back then, foretelling exactly the scale of the injustice that would ensue.

      The letter is remarkable for its prescience and clarity, showing a great understanding of geopolitics, history and world culture, and all this presented in simple and compelling terms.

      For convenience, here’s the link again (it exists in many archives, and I see from a simple search that many others have commented on the flawless lucidity of the letter):

The demented had similar ritual on the Baptist Hospital with Biden’s imminent arrival. And she lies. French measures are to whitewash, serve as air defense against Ansar Allah, and pay more to Zionists, etc. Note the West Bank is as besieged as Gaza on all four sides]

      Oil and Water

      Rabobank Global Strategist Michael Every began a Tuesday note aptly named “Oil and Water” by acknowledging the value of “oil and water (routes)” in an inflationary, multipolar world: “Especially as Yemen’s Houthis have attacked ships carrying cargo via the Red Sea or Arabian Gulf. Welcome to how the world used to work before British, then US, naval supremacy. This is what a multipolar world is going to look like…”

      Michael Every laments that it’s only reactive to attacks on shipping, not proactive at the source: “That maintains the risk for more shipping to divert from Suez round the Cape of Good Hope: if so, global carriers would only be able to make 3-4 Asia-Europe roundtrips per year, not 4-5, a massive structural drop in supply capacity. The Financial Times warns , including the drought in Panama cutting passages there and geopolitical risk threatening the Suez.”

      The Rabobank report appropriately followed an article out of the FT titled ‘Global pre-Christmas trade at risk from twin canal crises’, which warned of a synergistic supply shock from both the Panama drought and, of course, ongoing geopolitical risks near the Suez.

      The FT notes that “Switching routes from Panama to Suez adds five days to journeys between New York and Shanghai… If more shipowners avoid the Suez Canal and take the long route around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope for journeys between the same cities, this could add an additional six days to their journey.”

      At least 167 ships crossed the [Panama] canal during the first week of December this year, compared with 238 last year. Authorities have for the first time reduced the number of crossings, which by February will be limited to only 18 ships a day.

      Multiple shipowners have already applied surcharges of hundreds of dollars per container for exporters sending goods through Panama, as the cost of using the canal increased by up to millions of dollars per ship passage. Hapag-Lloyd announced an upcoming “war risk surcharge” of up to $80 for all shipments to and from Israel.
      [This appears far larger than the Zionist cancer outpost! Note Panama Canal will have 18 ships/d starting Feb 2024. This Suez drama fits into supranationalist zionazis strategy of decoupling from and economic war on China and disrupting the old globalization logistics patterns. And starving nations for eugenicist/Deagle purposes. Yemenis provide a convenient cover…]

Talk about humiliations facing the C or D-team…]
      ⭕ 🇺🇸🇾🇪📝 It really is incredible watching the U.S. expose its top assets in this reckless of a manner.

      All of their logistics are exposed here, and the Houthis have just demonstrated that ASBMs work. That should be ringing alarm bells in Washington, especially given the USN already concedes the Houthis have one of the best Anti-Ship missile forces in the world.
      ⭕ 🇮🇷🇺🇸📝 Can we also acknowledge how masterfully Iran is working its proxies?

      The only two American carriers in the region are now tied down either protecting Israel or protecting shipping on the other side of the Arabian peninsula. The only American combat power now directly facing Iran is in fixed positions that would die in the first 30 minutes of an actual war by thousands of Iranian ballistic missiles.

Running them outside of design results in years of life loss, and sometimes serious immediate troubles, shaft alignment off the Cape, Mr Motor breaks crankshaft? Cracked hulls.

      ⭕ A Vulgar Display of Power
      The Zionist War of Extermination By Evan Reif

      After receiving their latest supply of ammunition and assurances from the criminal regime of Joe Biden, the Zionist occupation forces are free to take off their masks in Gaza. They no longer have even the slightest desire to conduct themselves as anything but what they are: exterminators who have come to depopulate a land of its restive natives.

      With the ironclad guarantees and infinite weapons from the Biden regime, the Zionist plan is working its way towards a “final solution.” However, there may be a problem. The Zionist forces may have finally killed one person too many, and now the blood and soil obsessed Zionists are turning on themselves.

      The last few days have marked an escalation in the conflict that is shocking even by the low standards of Zionist murderers. While the vast majority of their atrocities aren’t publicized due to their intentional policy of murdering journalists on the ground and tight control of information, the IOF has become so brazen in their crimes that they can no longer be ignored.

      On the 16th of December, IOF snipers opened fire on a crowd taking shelter in the Church of the Holy Family, a Catholic Church in Gaza. A woman was carrying her daughter to safety when both were shot by an IOF sniper in broad daylight and in full view of the staff. IOF forces continued to fire on the Church, wounding many others and proving that their first bullets were not a mistake. No warning was given, and no justification has been provided by the IOF. Since the IOF brags constantly about how they know where every bullet goes, they should never be given the benefit of the doubt.

      ⭕ The famine is beginning to have a dramatic impact in the northern Gaza Strip.
      ⭕ Gaza: Reports of mass summary executions of Palestinian civilians are corroborated and confirmed by several sources. These included hundreds of prisoners, many of them children and elderly people, taken to assembly points in the Negev desert and executed. The conflict in Gaza is beginning to strangely resemble the terrible Algeria war.
      Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan are proposing to save Israel and offer it an alternative land supply route following the blockage of the Bab-el-Mendeb Strait.
      ⭕ According to Bloomberg, Washington contacted Ansarullah of Yemen through mediators from Oman to urge them to stop attacks on Israeli-linked merchant shipping in the Red Sea and not close the Bab-el-Mendeb Strait. According to Arab sources, the US and its Arab allies are ready to grant tens of billions of dollars to Yemen on the condition that AnsarAllah stops its attacks at sea.

      GAZA LIVE BLOG: Israel Bombs Al-Shifa, again | Awda under Siege | HRW: Hunger as a Weapon | 100 Killed in Jabaliya – DAY 73


      ▪️Over 100 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli bombing in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza.
      ▪️Scores more were killed in Israeli bombardments of other parts of the Gaza Strip, while several were killed in renewed Israeli strikes at Al-Shifa hospital.
      ▪️Meanwhile, four more Israeli soldiers were killed in fierce fighting as the Resistance continues to repel Israeli military advancements.
      ▪️GAZA’S HEALTH MINISTRY:
      19,453 Palestinians have been killed and 52,286 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
      During the past hours, the Israeli occupation forces committed 16 massacres.
      ▪️The World Health Organisation has called for an immediate ceasefire as it condemned the destruction meted out by Israeli forces at the Kamal Adwan hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.
      ▪️Several Prisoners from Gaza Died inside Israeli Detention Camp – Haaretz
      Hundreds of Palestinians who were detained in Gaza during the ongoing Israel’s invasion of the besieged Strip have been held for weeks at a detention facility in southern Israel, where several of them have died under unclear circumstances, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Monday.
      Haaretz also reported that “the Israeli army presented only 71 out of more than 500 detainees before the Israeli courts”.
      ▪️The Israeli army acknowledged on Monday that five of its soldiers were killed on Sunday night in battles taking place south of the Gaza Strip
      ▪️Israel is using starvation as a “weapon of war” in Gaza by deliberately denying access to food and water to Palestinian civilians, Human Rights Watch said on Monday.
      “The Israeli government is using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in the Gaza Strip, which is a war crime,” the human rights organization said in a statement.

      ▪️🔻Hezbollah: We targeted with artillery two Iron Dome platforms in the north of the Kabri colony and achieved accurate hits

      ▪️✡️ In Israel, they proposed clearing Gaza and turning it into a museum, like in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
      📝 “Send all Gazans to refugee camps in Lebanon and raze the entire sector to the ground so that it becomes an empty museum like Auschwitz,” said David Azoulay, the head of the city of Metula on northern Israel
      The rapture with which in Israel they talk about the destruction of the Palestinians, as well as the terrifying analogies, suggest “unlearned lessons of history” on the part of the Jews there.
      ▪️❗Politico reports that the strike group is led by the aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower, which was recalled from patrols in Persian Gulf
      💬What scenario awaits the Middle East if the Yankees strike Yemen?
      ▪️🇺🇸🇾🇪 The US and the EU may start a new war in Yemen – New Straits Times
      The States may “not see the atrocities of the Zionist apartheid regime against the Palestinians” and start a new war in Yemen, writes a Malaysian newspaper .
      📝 “This will create another Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria,” – the article says.
      USA earlier threatened to strike Houthi targets in Yemen in response to attacks on ships sailing to Israel. So, the risk of expanding the conflict in the Middle East remains and can disappear only if the international community guarantees the residents of Gaza an independent Palestine with the 1967 borders.
      ▪️🇵🇸 The Pope called Israel’s actions in Gaza terrorism
      According to him, the news he continues to receive from the enclave “carries pain.” The Pontiff said that unarmed civilians are becoming victims of bombings and gunfire.
      He also said that the parish of the Holy Family, where there are no terrorists, came under fire, and there are only families, children, wounded, and nuns.
      📝 “A woman and her daughter, Nahda Khalil Anton and Samar Kamal Anton, were killed by sniper fire, and others were wounded. When they tried to wash themselves,” the Pope said.
      ✖️ In addition, the house where Mother Teresa’s sisters lived was damaged.
      📝 “Some say: “This is terrorism, this is war.” Yes, this is war. Yes, this is terrorism. The Scripture says that “The Lord, ceasing to fight to the ends of the earth, broke the bow and broke the spear.” Let us pray to the Lord for peace!” , the pontiff added.
      🤦‍♂️ The Pope stubbornly does not call the IDF’s actions in the Gaza Strip genocide. Apparently, “this is different.”
      ▪️❗The conflict in Gaza is not even halfway through. There are “weeks and weeks” of fighting ahead – UN Deputy Secretary General
      According to Martin Griffiths, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is entering a phase where disease and hunger are beginning to be the main cause of “deprivation.”
      ❗️ The UN is also outraged and disappointed that the selectivity of IDF actions promised by Israel and the United States in the south of the sector has not been ensured.
      Of course, the Organization will not do anything about this 🤔
      ▪️🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel prepares a plan to invade Lebanon to push back Hezbollah – The Times
      The Israeli army wants to “push back Lebanese movement forces north of the Litani River, a line of symbolic significance for both sides” , writes the British publication.
      📝 “The Israeli doctrine is to transfer the war to the other side. There can be no return to the status quo before October 7th. The Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces approved the plans and determined the readiness schedules,” the IDF said.
      ❗️ However, the decision on whether to transfer ground troops across the Lebanese border remains with Netanyahu and his cabinet. Hezbollah has shown itself to be a rather serious opponent for the IDF, and an invasion of Lebanon will obviously unleash a large-scale massacre in the Middle East.
      ✖️ So it is unlikely that Israel has seriously decided to open a second front after Gaza – probably this is another intimidation of the Shiite organization associated with Iran.
      ▪️🔴 It is reported that the Israeli Air Force struck the city of Aita al-Shaab in southern Lebanon. The footage shows that the arrival was in a building located several tens of meters from the funeral procession.
      The number of dead and injured is still unknown.
      ▪️🇺🇸🇶🇦The CIA director in Warsaw holds talks with the Prime Minister of Qatar and the head of the Mossad
      William Burns is trying to come up with a new way to interact with Hamas on the issue of releasing the hostages. Earlier, IDF soldiers shot and killed three hostages “by mistake.”
      American and Israeli officials said that a previous negotiations reached a dead end regarding the issue of the remaining female hostages.
      🇮🇱Tel Aviv insisted on their release before considering other categories, including elderly and infirm men.
      Hamas claims that the women hostages are soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, which The United States and Israel deny.
      ❗️We must not forget that the IDF “compensated” for the release of dozens of Palestinian prisoners by arresting several hundred (and maybe thousands) of other Palestinians West Bank

      The Red Sea is now largely closed to traffic, affecting 8.8 million bpd of daily oil transit, and nearly 380 million tons of daily cargo transit. Global traffic now will be rerouted around Cape of Good Hope, adding on average 40% to voyage distance and even more in expense.

      The collective vessel market share of MSC, Hapag Lloyd, and Maersk — each of which are recent victims to piracy attacks and have decided to totally suspend voyages via the Red Sea — is approximately 40% of global cargo trade. Transit times from Asia to the Mediterranean were at a threshold last month, and are now expected to rise up to an additional 10-14 days.

      Meanwhile, global sea freight face additional risks in the Western hemisphere as drought conditions plague the Panama canal.

      Sue Terpilowski of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, which represents companies concerned with supply chains, told the BBC about the likely spike in costs after four of the top five companies in the world suspended operations in the area:

      “It’s security to the crew, to the ship itself and also insurance policies. Premiums are now going sky high if they can get insurance at all, so it’s going to have serious implications on stock levels, on costs and the whole dynamics of supply chains.”

      The acceleration of de-globalization is leading to a surge of uncertainty along major global maritime routes and transport expenses.

      U.S. efforts to counter Yemen’s Houthi rebels as they attack ships in one of the world’s most important waterways are facing a major obstacle due to disagreements among Washington’s Arab allies, Bloomberg reports.

      Two of the most crucial players involved in Yemen’s long civil war, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, support competing factions against the Houthis and favor different ways of fighting them.

      The United Arab Emirates is pushing for military action and wants the United States to once again designate the Houthis as “terrorists,” according to an Abu Dhabi-backed Yemeni official.

      Riyadh, on the other hand, supports a more measured approach, fearing that any belligerence could push the Houthis to become even more aggressive, according to a member of the Saudi team negotiating with the Houthis.

      That could jeopardize a fragile truce in Yemen’s war and derail Saudi Arabia’s bid to reach a permanent ceasefire deal with the rebels, the source said. [LOL. Thieves will fall out in existential moments. See 404 meme. The same will happen to gauleiters elsewhere]

      It seems the plan is to render this an full blockade of the Red Sea (even though AnsarAllah repeatedly state it is not), instead of a blockade of “Israel”, perhaps to help marshal a global ‘response’, via the ‘coalition’ to ‘combat AnsarAllah’ that they have just announced.

      This is a foolish strategy in light of their inability for their bite to match their bark, however.
      Any attack on Yemen will light up the Gulf’s oil fields like the most festive Christmas tree you have ever seen, to say nothing of US interests in the Red Sea and beyond.

      Without an actual coherent plan to combat the ‘full blockade’ of the Red Sea that the US is pushing, all this will achieve is damage to the global economy, instead of just the Zionist economy as intended.
      This does nothing except serve the Resistance Axis’s Escalation Ladder.

      There is only one real way to end AnsarAllah’s blockade: end the siege on Gaza.
      If the US-Zionist bloc are so insistent on maintaining their war, they will not be allowed to do so without cost.
      And if they try to undo this cost with force, they will be met with force.

      🇱🇧 This takes us to Lebanon, where the same situation exists: Hizbullah are also exacting a cost on the Zionists by their border operations.
      The only way to stop them is to end the war on Gaza.
      If they try to undo this cost with force, they will be met with overwhelming force.

      Hizbullah’s attacks against the IOF’s border surveillance infrastructure are at once a message, as well as serious preparation for its execution, if necessary.
      The exact same is true of today’s significant development, in which the resistance struck two Iron Dome batteries.

      This comes in light of the laughable threats of the IOF to ‘attack Lebanon’, giving a small taste of what awaits them if they do, as well as a message that the resistance in Lebanon is anything but deterred.
      And their ‘Iron Dome’ will not save them.

      Just as is the case with Yemen, so too in Lebanon: if they want to isolate Gaza and continue their assault without paying any cost, they will have to do so by force. So far we have seen endless threats of the use of this force, but seen very little of it manifest.

      The question is, are they capable of launching even one of these attacks on the various fronts, let alone all of them?
      Indeed, still more saliently: are they even able to continue their war in Gaza, with the enormous losses they are taking to troops and tanks and vehicles?

      🇵🇸 And so finally, the third theater whose developments we discuss today is the one at the heart of the battle: Gaza.
      As I have stated before, I believe the resistance in Gaza have even now not yet used anything near the full capabilities at their disposal.

      Compelling evidence for this is today’s Kornet/ATGM attack by Qassam, who thus far have used a scant amount of these weapons at their disposal. Nor is this the only weapon we know they possess that they have not extensively used- to say nothing of what we do not yet know of.

      Indeed, it is amazing enough that all the resistance factions continue to operate at full capacity without any signs of slowing down, without any sign of the Yassin-105s and Tandems and TBGs running out. Each day we witness new footage of these men working their miracles.
      ⭕ The IOF is paying an unspeakably heavy price in Gaza.
      How long can it to tolerate its losses?
      How long before it becomes vulnerable to the combined might of the Axis bearing down upon it?
      If their hope is attrition, it will swallow them long before it does the resistance in Gaza.

      With all this said and done, we still are not very far from where we have been for months: the US-Zionist aggressors face the same choice as before, between submitting to defeat, or facing the growing fire.

      The Escalation Ladder remains in full effect.

      If their choice is to insist on war, Gaza will swallow them whole, and more swiftly every day.
      And if their ‘solution’ for Lebanon and Yemen is also war, then war is what they will get.
      Annihilation awaits the Empire and the Occupation.

      Let them make their final mistake.

      ⭕ 🇮🇷🇾🇪 Among all the recent attempts made by the Yemeni Ansarallah movement to attack ships in the Red Sea, the raid on the container ship Palatium III, owned by the Swiss company MSC, went almost unnoticed. The remarkable aspect of this incident was that the Houthis successfully hit the cargo ship with an Iranian ballistic missile. This marks the first recorded instance in modern history of a successful strike with this type of weapon on a moving ship in actual combat conditions.

      Some countries expressed interest in developing anti-ship ballistic missiles as far back as the last century. Compared to winged aircraft, these missiles have several advantages, including a much shorter approach time, which reduces the likelihood of detection and interception.

      However, technical difficulties have always been a hindrance, as existing control systems could not ensure an accurate hit on a moving naval target. China has made some progress in this area, but it has never applied its developments in a combat situation. Now, Iran, with the assistance of the Houthis, has demonstrated the practicality of using ballistic missiles successfully against enemy ships at sea. This capability can be used to engage various targets, including US aircraft carrier groups that have dominated the oceans for many decades. #Iran #Yemen @rybar

      This coalition which is not one therefore brings together among others and without any surprise Bahrain (puppet country), Canada (warlike vassal), Spain (follower vassal), France (blind vassal), Italy ( total vassal), the Netherlands (total vassal), Norway (enlightened vassal), the Seychelles (country without armed force and therefore home port). This for the member countries which have accepted public participation in this US project aimed at protecting the great oligarchs of the planet whose fortunes would be threatened. For the other countries whose participation is certain but which have expressed the wish not to publicize it too much: Saudi Arabia (pillar of the global predatory regime), the United Arab Emirates (the Medici of the 21st century), the Egypt (whose revenues from the Suez Canal are threatened), Sudan (country in civil war) and Israel (the entity always directly belligerent).

      ballistic is not quite true. If it were we’d be talking about cannon shot. I assume that it was a guided missile. How it was guided…well, mystery for us. And I assume that it had a low trajectory, thus simpler to guide and very short flight time. I can imagine ways to guide or steer missiles without wings, but the device in question, imho, had stub wings. Fine shootin’ there fellas! Practice brings perfection. 😉

      ⭕ 🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: The American decision to form an international naval force in the Red Sea aims to protect the zionist entity and threatens the security of the region and world peace.

      The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine confirmed that the announcement by U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, from the heart of the usurping entity, and in a joint press conference with the occupation leaders, about forming an international naval coalition to protect the waterways in the Red Sea, reaffirms the full participation of the American administration and its allies in the genocide campaign that our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are subjected to.

      The real goal of forming this coalition is to protect the state of the entity and save it from its predicament due to the legendary steadfastness of our people and their resistance, and the qualitative strikes delivered by the Yemeni armed forces against zionist targets in southern occupied Palestine and in the Red Sea waters. This also confirms their determination to enhance their presence and capability in the region and control its resources and wealth, posing a challenge and threat to the security of the region and international peace and security.

      The Front affirmed that the American administration and its tools in the region and the world’s step to form this coalition under the pretext of protecting international trade and global maritime security is a blatant lie and deception, especially with the repeated assurance of the Yemeni armed forces of their commitment to the security and safety of all passing ships, except those heading to zionist ports. This measure supports the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and pressures the zionist state to allow the entry of relief and medical materials for the besieged and deprived residents of the sector, who lack food, medicine, water, and the most basic elements of human life.

      The Front calls on the countries that have announced their participation in this hostile coalition to pressure the zionist state to stop its aggression against the Palestinian people, for an immediate and complete ceasefire, and to lift the siege on our people. As well as to stop their aggression and criminal practices in Al-Quds, the West Bank, and against Palestinian prisoners in occupation jails. The Front also called to refrain from participating in the aggression, covering up its brutal and bloody crimes in international institutions and forums, and to recognize the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. Emphasizing that this alone is capable of achieving global peace and stability. The formation of this coalition will only increase tension and escalation in the region and will not be able to protect the temporary security of the entity.

      The Front also expressed its strong condemnation of the decision of the Kingdom of Bahrain to participate in this hostile coalition and called on it to immediately retract its decision and respond immediately to the pulse of the brotherly Bahraini people, who reject all forms of normalization with the usurping zionist state. It also called on other countries in the region not to respond to American and Western dictates and desires to participate in this coalition, to remove its cover and legitimacy, to expel its bases from the region, and to stop all forms of relations and agreements with the zionist entity. Emphasizing that history will not forgive all those complicit in the aggression and those incapable of supporting our people on Palestinian land in the face of the most brutal killing and criminal machine known to history.

      The Front expressed confidence that the forces of aggression, no matter how powerful and arrogant, will not be able to influence the decision of the Yemeni people and their leadership. Greetings to the noble Yemeni people, its armed forces, and its courageous and wise leadership.

      🔹What catches your eye first?
      The convoy was attacked using an anti-tank missile system. Until now, the Hamas movement has published isolated cases of materials where exactly such weapons were used, priority was given mainly to hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers.
      🔹Where is it all happening?
      The geography is also interesting. The action takes place in the city of Beit Lahiya in the Gaza Strip. That is, either Hamas has anti-tank systems, albeit a little, or there are still ways to deliver weapons to the Gaza Strip, since the city is located in the north of the Gaza Strip, that is, essentially, deep in the rear of the advancing Israeli troops.
      🔹What features are visible?
      The convoy includes Eitan 8×8 armored personnel carriers – the latest Israeli heavy armored personnel carriers, armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun in a remotely controlled module. According to representatives of the defense industry, the Eitan platform was designed to provide maximum protection for the crew and infantrymen. In addition to NERA (Non-Explosive Reactive Armor) dynamic protection, Eitan has good mine protection and is equipped with the Iron Fist active protection complex. The weight, depending on the configuration, is 30-35 tons.
      Presumably, the video shows elements of the 933rd Nahal Infantry Brigade, which received the latest armored personnel carriers. The brigade itself is a personnel unit, part of the 162nd Armored Division of the Southern Military District. The units of this brigade have taken part in many conflicts and are staffed by experienced military personnel with combat experience.
      🔹What’s wrong with the video?
      And yet, the video clearly shows how a Hamas anti-tank missile operator attacks a convoy crowded on a narrow road. The Palestinians calmly observe, and the guided missile is launched from a pre-prepared location. That is, we can talk about a well-prepared and organized ambush. At the same time, neither military guards nor any elementary statutory measures necessary for the movement of columns through hostile territory are visible from the IDF. Note that Hamas is attacking unarmored vehicles with infantry riding one of the HMMWV variants and possibly the Enisa Neton 4×4.
      The reason for choosing a target is clear – maximizing damage to the enemy: the ATGM operator does not attack a heavy armored personnel carrier, but chooses a lighter vehicle as a target.
      Note that the Enisa Neton 4×4 (if the vehicle is identified correctly) is non-standard for the IDF. Previously, four Enisa Neton 4×4 vehicles were received as a result of an exchange with Spain. The appearance of such rare vehicles on the battlefield may indicate a more significant level of losses among IDF maneuver units in the Gaza Strip.
      🔹What other features are there?
      The presence of unarmored vehicles in the column of Merkava Mk.4 MBTs and heavy armored personnel carriers is definitely a strange move on the part of the IDF, which was not typical for Israeli ground forces in the operation area. Most of all, the composition of the column resembles the columns of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during attacks on the positions of Russian troops in the area of ​​​​N. Rabotino village in June 2023. Then, unarmored pickup trucks were repeatedly spotted in the same columns with Leopard 2 tanks and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. Both then and now, such equipment presumably accounted for a significant portion of irretrievable losses. |video|
      ⭕ A senior member of Yemen’s Houthis told Al Jazeera: America offered to stop interfering in efforts to achieve peace in Yemen in exchange for stopping its military operations in the Red Sea. We rejected this offer. [In their desperation the criminals outed themselves as the key scum behind the Genocide of Yemen!]
      ⭕ Russian Orthodox soldiers pray before going on a combat mission. The prayer service was led by military chaplain Father Viktor Lenok from Moscow. |video|
      ⭕ An American military official said: Several countries agreed to participate in the new force in the Red Sea (to defeat the Houthis and make the seas safe for Israeli commerce), but preferred not to name it publicly.
      Zin Note: Well, at least they have a sense of shame… [will soon see the truth of this matter. Confidentiality will cease to be maintained when those floating coffins sink. And Yemenis will provide us the HQ video proof… And certain oil wells will start to burn…]
      Current state of the U.S. Navy from an insider source:
      🔹The Navy has been pushing at a wartime tempo during peacetime 24/7 for decades. Ships are undermaintained, break down and are then sent back out again to maintain the illusion of operational capability
      🔹Undermanned. Recruitment shortfalls mean ships are deployed understaffed and that fewer and fewer total crew are responsible for dealing with cumulating problems aboard, all with cumulative sleep deprivation
      🔹Incoming recruits are pushed through basic training and A-school to such a degree that it would actually be preferable to skip A-school entirely and just throw recruits from basic onboard for on the jobs training.
      🔹Non-Commissioned Officer Corps is no longer existent, they all left or got booted out. Result now is a combination of fresh recruits with no effective training and higher Officer staff who seek career advancement over ship function.
      There is no experienced “in between” left to bridge the gap between Rookies and higher Command.
      In summary, the U.S. Navy is no longer combat capable beyond anything on paper.
      This is what politicians are deploying into the ME, and may explain why the Eisenhower had to turn around and ditch position.
      [List forgot the corrosive effects of blooming “alternative lifestyles” resulting in excessive onboard buggery! And perhaps they aren’t meant to fight but to furnish a “Pearl-Harbor” event?? Why waste a useful crisis?]
      ⭕ Comment by a friend: This whole situation with the Yemeni Houthis and the Hegemon is reminiscent of the famous joke about Rzhevsky:
      – Gentlemen, hussars, let’s bathe the horses in champagne!
      – But there’s no money…
      – Well then, let’s at least pour beer on the cat.
      ⭕ The Norwegian Shipping Authority has raised the alert level in the southern Red Sea to its highest level and urged all Norwegian ships to avoid the area.
      ⭕ 🇷🇺#oil
      А – anxiety
      The mouthpiece of Western propaganda independent media Bloomberg tells us (Russians) not to get too excited, or else…! Or else… well, please don’t be happy. Oh, and blamed us right off the bat, of course.
      Russia’s war in Ukraine has turned the now dangerous waters of the southern Red Sea into a vital world trade corridor for oil, especially for Moscow’s own exports.
      Remember that “especially for”.
      Anyway, BEFORE the Empire was channeling 120,000 bbl/d through Suez. And AFTER over the last 6 months, that figure has averaged 1.7 million bbl/d. Over the same period, crude oil shipments from the Middle East to European countries have increased from about 870,000 b/d to 1.3 million b/d. And in general, because of you and me, the shipments of all fuels and lubricants through Suez have doubled.
      So there you go. And now everyone’s thinking. And now there’s a louder sound – the crunch of reverse gear:
      The Russian ships may not be at direct risk of attack by the Houthi militants – after all, Tehran supports both Russia and the Houthis in their wars. But that doesn’t rule out the risk that a ship carrying Russian oil could be attacked by mistake.
      That’s a good move, isn’t it? And it’ll be great if we’re the only ones who can sail the Suez. [The dastardly will likely attack those Russian ships, claiming Houthis did it. The overriding objective remains to starve Europe of energy, plunge them into a Dark Winter, and depopulate the raving suckers. No honor whatsoever among satanic thieves.]

      The Putin live feed to-day made things pretty clear… I missed the first part though. It’s been classical, using the west’s assaults and threats to coordinate the Slavic and Russian and RoW coordinate in practical ways. Smedley’s father, a Quaker, once defended his vote for arms against the fellow Quaker. The latter said> “Thee is a poor Quaker”, and Butler replied, “Thee is a fool”… similarly Ruskie not fool.

      The Murmansk story names Admiral G and her associate ships. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_Gorshkov-class_frigate

      That can sink a carrier.

      GAZA LIVE BLOG: DAY 74

      GAZA LIVE BLOG: Massacres in Rafah | Israel Besieges Baptist Hospital | Resistance Kill More Israeli Soldiers | Ansarallah, Hezbollah Escalate – DAY 74


      ▪️Israel is intensifying its attacks on all Gaza regions, including Rafah in the south, Bureij in the center and Jabaliya in the north.
      ▪️This escalation comes at a time that media reports continue to speak of ongoing talks, involving Arab mediators, about a possible prisoner swap.
      ▪️Meanwhile, the Palestinian Resistance continues to engage invading Israeli forces at several axes, with most battles currently taking place in Khan Younis and Jabaliya.
      ▪️According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 19,453 Palestinians have been killed and 52,286 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
      🔻Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Ansarallah politburo, said on Monday that his group will be able to confront any coalition formed by the United States that could deploy to the Red Sea.
      “Even if America succeeds in mobilizing the entire world, our military operations will not stop, no matter the sacrifices it costs us,” al-Bukhaiti said
      🔻According to Bloomberg news website, “a fleet of drones that are available online for as little as $6,500 filled the skies above Israel’s $1 billion border fence.”
      🔻 The Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah said on Monday that it would respond to the targeting of civilians in Lebanon, Al-Jazeera reported.
      In a statement on Monday evening, Hezbollah said that it fired missiles at the Kiryat Shmona settlement in response to Israel’s targeting of a funeral in the town of Ayta ash Shab in southern Lebanon.
      ▪️EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell has condemned what he described as Israel’s indiscriminate targeting of civilians in Gaza in a post to social media on Monday, declaring an urgent need for a “humanitarian pause.”
      “We are witnessing an appalling lack of distinction in Israel’s military operation in Gaza,” Borrell wrote, citing the recent deaths of “worshippers, three Israeli hostages, and hundreds of other civilians” at the hands of the Israeli army.
      “Far too many civilians have been killed in Gaza, as pointed out among others also by the French, German, and UK foreign ministers,” the diplomat continued 🤥

      74th Day of Brutality: Israeli Occupation Forces Continue Genocide in Gaza Strip
      https://english.almanar.com.lb/2004235
      ▪️In a devastating display of aggression, the Israeli occupation forces persist in their atrocious assault on the Gaza Strip for the 74th consecutive day. Launching numerous air strikes and artillery shelling, unleashing a barrage of fire and orchestrating horrendous massacres against innocent civilians, these forces are shamelessly executing a genocidal campaign. This relentless oppression is exacerbating the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the region, resulting from the prolonged siege and displacement of over 90% of Gaza’s population.

      🔻Yemeni army targets two more Zionist-related ships
      https://en.mehrnews.com/news/209722/Yemeni-army-targets-two-more-Zionist-related-ships
      ▪️Yahya Saree, a spokesman of the Yemeni forces, said on Monday that the attacks were carried out in response to the Zionists’ aggression against the Gaza Strip.
      The spokesman said that the attacks targeted two vessels namely Swan Atlantic, carrying oil, and MSC Clara, carrying containers.
      He noted that the attacks were carried out after the two vessels refused to respond to calls from the Yemeni Navy.
      ▪️Yemen’s defense minister has said that the Yemeni Armed Forces will turn the Red Sea into a graveyard of the US-led coalition if the alliance decides to take any action against Yemen.
      ▪️Once the flight tests and final standard tests are completed, Iran will begin mass production of its home-made training jet, according to a senior official with the Ministry of Defense.
      ▪️Iran’s permanent ambassador to the United Nations says the United States is responsible for all crimes that the Israeli regime is committing against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

      🔸Forwarded from Older than Edda:
      To be honest, I don’t really believe that the United States will be able to assemble, and most importantly, use at least some kind of coalition against the Yemeni Houthis. At the moment, the Houthi military organization, both technically and in a purely combat sense, is stronger than the Iraqi army during Desert Storm, and preparations for Desert Storm cost the Americans a lot of labor.

      We also do not forget that the US Army of 1991 is not at all the same army as in 2023. I think the most that the Americans will do is launch several cruise missiles and report that they hit an area with Houthi missile launchers. Democracy has triumphed, and the Red Sea is safe.

      The Houthis, in turn, will wait for a theatrical pause and strike, underh very good video control, at another tanker, dry cargo ship, or even try to attack warships, and maybe the American base in Bahrain.

      Forwarded from Colonelcassad (Adequate Z):
      The tight knot in the Red Sea is tightened literally every day, and the more, it seems that the former hegemon has no good answers to this challenge in principle. A statement in the night about the creation of an entire coalition, which will, like, ensure the safety of navigation, does not look like an answer, but for now looks like a shock of air, and one way or another will come down to one of the scenarios below.
      ▪️Continue to sit through it is impossible:
      against the backdrop of large and growing consequences for traffic and pricing, this would mean signaling the whole world that the ‘hegemon’ is a former one.
      ▪️It is impossible to put pressure on Israel so that it folds as quickly as possible and passes off what has been achieved as victory. Moreover Netanyahu will probably kick up, not wanting to go straight into political corpses, and the Republicans will eat for this, and most importantly, this will be an acceptance of the very conditions that the Houthis put forward from the very beginning. That is, another form of defeat, and no less for Americans than Israeli.
      ▪️Of course, they can try to bomb the Houthis from the sea or air. The result is by no means guaranteed: the Houthis have many years of experience in successful operations against an adversary dominating the air. In any case, the threat to shipping (remember that the Houthis’ maritime reconnaissance and target designation means are Iranian, that is, quite adequate) will persist not for weeks, but for months. And a serious risk for Western naval groups in the waters. And an equally serious risk of escalation both in terms of targets and geography, up to and including the Strait of Hormuz. And there is an absolute guarantee that if anything goes wrong, the Republicans will again eat you alive.
      ▪️An intervention in Yemen not only has all the risks of the previous scenario multiplied many times over, but it also takes many weeks, if not months, to deploy an invasion force and build logistics. Such time obviously doesn’t exist, so the script goes to waste purely on want for time.
      ▪️The former hegemon, perhaps, no longer has any other solutions. You can, of course, call Putin and ask him to come up with something, with his experience of impartially untying the most difficult international knots. But it would be impossible for Americans to flog themselves even more strongly even if they wanted to, so they will choose from the four points above.
      ▪️Putin, meanwhile, casually noted that the Northern Sea Route would now be more efficient than Suez. Trolling is top-notch 😉

      THE US PREPARES ITS UKRAINE WAR COALITION FLEET IN THE RED SEA TO PROTECT ISRAEL, ATTACK YEMEN – RUSSIA RESPONDS

      On Sunday,   Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), the Chinese state-owned fleet company, announced that it is halting all shipments to and from Israeli seaports. However, unlike its European peers, OOCL did not say it will stop sailing through the Red Sea. The implication, a shipping source comments, is that Beijing has declared its support for the Arab-led blockade of Israel, and will negotiate directly with Houthi and Yemeni officials so that OOCL vessels will be able to navigate safely through the Red Sea and into the Suez Canal, and vice versa. The commercial advantage to the Chinese is plain, the source said. Whether the Chinese Navy will send escorts for Chinese-flagged cargo vessels remains to be seen.

      💠@ejmalrai:
      ⭕ Retweet: These are not actors! |video|
      ⭕ Israel is gaslighting its domestic opinion by saying “it has prepared a plan to invade South #Lebanon “. Plans on both sides r drawn & updated regularly. There is nothing new in this announcement but @netanyahu telling the Israelis:”we still at war. Keep supporting me”.
      ⭕ Israel can bomb but never invade south #Lebanon for several military reasons. Therefore these menace of invasion are shallow and propagandistic.
      ⭕ More shipping companies are suspending the transport of merchandise to #Israel via the Red Sea. This is #Yemen’s contribution to the children and women of #Gaza
      ⭕ Following the killing of its 3 own soldiers, Israel is diverting the attention of the Israeli by sharing the discovery of a large tunnel that played an important role on the 7th of October and twice while the Israeli army was already occupying the north |THREAD|
      ⭕ Retweet: Do you remember Donya’s story? Well, she was killed earlier today in an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. She’ll never become the doctor… |THREAD|
      ⭕ Retweet: Israel’s defenders love saying the Palestinians were the ones who didn’t want a two state solution. Now that Netanyahu has admitted he helped thwart it are they going to adjust their talking point to “they shouldn’t be allowed to have one”? |THREAD|
      ⭕ Retweet: We can’t take it anymore, we’re exhausted… We’re gonna get killed, it’s just a matter of when. There’s no protection |video|
      ⭕ I have seen false claim. Time to reply: All Israeli who migrate to Palestine after the declaration of the state of #Israel following the thief of the land, all Israeli who came from Arab countries said they “are not refugees but came to the behest of Zionism”. Many Knesset members reject the term “refugees”. Palestinians can’t go to any other Arab countries and steal other lands as the Israeli Zionists did because #Palestine is their land. [response to a liar zionist claiming Palestinians came from neighboring arab countries and should be evicted back there. And that those same countries kicked out 850k jews! The sheer ignorance. And she herself looks eastern european…..]
      Hamas is using 9M133Kornet laser-guided anti-tank missiles now in #Gaza against the Israeli invaders. #Israel said there are 48 Israeli casualties in the last two days. This is a major blow to #Israel.
      Why am I not surprised? Which memory this statement brings to you? The real face of #Israel’s ministers: Gestapo Itamar Ben Gvir proposed to kill a Hamas prisoner every day until all Israeli prisoners are released.
      ⭕ The Palestinian resistance in #Gaza seems to be starting to warm up.
      Iran sit idle? How do you think Gaza is fighting Israel? Hezbollah attacking the Israeli barracks? Ansa Allah involved in such a significant confrontation with a superpower-led coalition?
      Iran has nothing ….. and everything to do with the above.
      [response to: “@ejmalrai what would be the consequences if Ansarullah attacked and damaged one of the coalition ships? Would Iran sit Idle watching their Ally being struck by a coalition in retaliation?”]
      Hezbollah is not yet ready to expand the war, but it is doing all it can, drawing lessons from #Gaza, to prepare for a wider war, as it will be tomorrow, for several valid reasons and signs. All options remain on the table.
      ⭕ Just imagine:
      #Yemen Ansar Allah closing the Red Sea on Israeli merchandise and shipments and #Hezbollah closing the Mediterranean if case #Israel wages a larger war on #Lebanon.
      It will be very costly for the #US to continue protecting #Israel. A Ceasefire is a better option.
      ⭕ Technically speaking, this #US coalition to protect #Israel doesn’t change anything about the shipping companies’ traffic in the Red Sea heading towards Israel. No company will dare because ships are not protected from Ansar Allah missiles |THREAD|
      ⭕ Israel achievement: After 74 days of war & destruction in #Gaza, the Palestinian resistance fired missiles on Tel Aviv, where the sirens warned 1000s of Israelis to seek shelter.
      IOF is good at killing children & women, cutting water and electricity and destroying hospitals
      US drones are covering the sky over #Lebanon, collecting intelligence and bank of objectives on behalf of #Israel – Private Sources.
      ⭕ Retweet from zionist: Since 7.10 we have murdered 1% of the population in Gaza [the equivalent of losing 3.3M US citizens in 74 days.. not counting the other 1% still under the rubble, for about 7M.. What, but Armageddon, is the recompense of criminality of such scale??]
      ⭕ One of the most severe scenarios would be:
      #Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz
      #Yemen closes the Red Sea
      #Hezbollah closes the Mediterranean within the commercial maritime area
      Unless a cease-fire is reached in #Gaza and the massacre of children and women stops.
      [the supreme irony in motion! Sea Pirates that prided themselves for centuries on controlling SLOCs are about to face the absolute blocking counter.. impotent on land-war and in the air. Now useless on the Seas against new (and old) area-denial technologies… WHOM to pillage, rape, and enslave now??]
      ⭕ Retweet: Why isn’t there a one-million march to Rafah from around the world to break the siege and let the trucks in? People in Gaza are starving. No medical supplies, no fuel, no water. Women are tearing cloth from tents for their period. Newborns will have no vaccines. |video|

      💠@Strategika51:
      ⭕ Lebanese Hezbollah begins systematically targeting Israeli Merkava tanks with anti-tank missile range.
      ⭕ The three Israeli hostages killed by the Israeli army in Gaza were shirtless, carried a white flag, shouted for help in Hebrew and came slowly towards the Israeli soldiers. They were machine-gunned anyway because the soldiers thought they were Palestinian civilians. (Media)
      Commentators:
      🔹Contrary to what I read here to explain these 3 deaths, saying that the IDF had orders to shoot at anything that moves, which I do not deny, I do not however think that this was the driving force behind this action.
      The explanation in my opinion is quite different, and it says a lot about the psychological state of IDF soldiers.
      They are afraid, they are terrified, and the mere sight of 3 guys walking towards them, even slowly, even speaking Hebrew, even shirtless, even waving a white flag, will not be enough to stop them from panicking, total and destroy them.
      🔹Hysterical…the complete opposite of professionals with a well-formed head and the coolness that goes with it…
      ⭕ According to French media sources, just over 4,100 Franco-Israelis have joined the ranks of the Israeli army since 07/10/2023. Among this number, soldiers are engaged in operations in Gaza.
      Their status with respect to French legislation remains unclear and is even more so given that they participate in massive human rights violations such as mass executions of civilians. This phenomenon is not the subject of any debate in France and no one has questioned dual citizenship in this specific case.
      Haaretz, citing a source from the Ministry of Maritime Trade, states that no container of goods has arrived in Israel by sea at the port of Eilat for two weeks, and that this situation will continue in the weeks to come.
      The prices of manufactured goods continue to rise in Israel. [note Haaretz messages the long war in progress. There can be no turning back from the crimes underway. No matter ground losses, or Yemeni sieges, and much much more to come. Gaza, or the Zionists, and like both at this point, will be totally annihilated. An Eye for an Eye in the Holy Land…. Pity about the hostages on the regional bases and strapped into the boats]

      💠@Fotros Resistance:
      ⭕ 🛑 Al-Qassam (Hamas): Successfully targeted a Zionist force inside a building in the Maghraqa area in the center of the Gaza Strip with a “TBG” explosive and 2 RPG rockets, followed by engaging in combat with them, causing their members either dead/wounded.
      ⭕ — 🛑 Al-Quds Brigades: We observed 4 helicopters evacuating a number of dead and wounded in the south of Deir al-Balah. Deir Al-Balah was shelled with dozens of mortar shells targeting a military gathering, by Al-Quds Brigades.
      ⭕ 🛑 About an hour ago, 18 rockets were launched from southern Lebanon, towards Kiryat Shmona, some of which landed inside the settlement.
      UPDATE: Al-Qassam claimed responsibility for this attack, targeting the Kiryat Shmona airfield. [this must be the Hamas grouping in southern Lebanon, permitted by Hezbollah on occasion to target northern occupied Palestine]
      ⭕ The massacre on Jabalia today was so hard and painful that it’s not possible to post more pictures & videos… The israeli regime, keeps bombing civilians. Because that’s what they are specialised in, killing children. 🔞 WARNING GRAPHIC FOOTAGE: |video|
      ⭕ An israeli drone strike killed a Lebanese civilian, Hussein Ali Barakat, in Reb Tlateen (South Lebanon). As we already know, this will have its consequences for the israeli regime. An eye for an eye.

      💠@Middle East Spectator:
      ⭕ 🇮🇷 One of Ansarullah’s weapons: the Iranian ‘Tankil’ (🇾🇪 Yemeni-designation ‘Zoheir‘) anti-ship ballistic missile, which was exported to Yemen several years ago. This missile is known to be in Ansarullah’s arsenal & will be an extremely useful asset in Bab Al-Mandab, with its specifications:
      – Approximately 500km range
      – Skip-trajectory, evasive-MaRV (hard to intercept)
      – Mach 3 impact velocity
      – Quite small, easy to transport (mobile)
      – Relatively low-cost
      ⭕ — 🇮🇷/ 🇮🇷 IRGC Navy Commander, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri: ‘We have sucessfully established a rapid naval mobilization force (Basij) in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz

      Thousands of small to medium sized local merchant vessels, fishing boats and speedboats have been converted and outfitted with 107mm rockets and various other weapons. This newly formed rapid naval volunteer force is an asymmetric paramilitary force, consisting of 33.000 vessels in the Persian Gulf and 55.000 local volunteers among the fishermen and merchants. It also contains large ships that can sail as far as Tanzania.’ [we have noted similar small “mosquito” forces speeding and dashing around the Bab El Mandeb & Gulf of Aden.. zugzwang. “Get out of our region.”]
      ⭕ — This is actually huge. If the U.S. Navy is ever at war with Iran, thousands of local fishermen loyal to the regime will get in their boats mounted with rockets and dushkas and simply swarm the warships.

      Only one of those ships has to get close enough to place a limpet mine on the hull to potentially sink a warship. Iranian volunteers used to do this in the ‘tanker war’ of the 80’s against Iraq. Iran is really masterful at creating advantages through the use of asymmetric warfare / guerilla warfare, despite obvious qualitative disadvantage against a vastly superior enemy. [Welcome to the Jungle, Operation “Prosperous Too-well-tended-and-soft Garden”]

      💠@MedManTG:
      ⭕ Regarding the post [see above] of one of my friends about the IRCG converting over 33,000 civilian vessels to be used for military action against naval forces that are hostile towards Iran.
      In 2002, the US conducted a wargame by the name of “Millennium Challenge 2002”, that ran from July to August of that year, with the US being on one side and the other side being “Iran/Iraq.”
      All in all, it ended horribly for the U.S in this simulation, to the extent that the Commanding officer of the Red side stated that his superiors bluntly ordered him to disclose his own locations, forces, and not to engage with certain US units (even if he was capable in), the U.S simply lost in that simulation.
      Cut forward to 21 years later, the US navy is not what it used to be in 2002, it has shortages of sailors, officers, maintenance issues, the fleets are decaying, and so on.
      Overall, this is NOT a fun time for the U.S. [this guy has a dry natural flair for the understatements of our lifetimes]

      💠@La JIRAFA🦒
      Spain responds to the US and denies that it will participate “unilaterally” in the Red Sea mission. The Ministry of Defense has assured this Tuesday that Spain’s participation in the international coalition in the Red Sea announced by the US and made up of ten countries to “guarantee security and freedom of navigation” in the Red Sea “is subject to decisions of the EU and NATO”.
      “Spain, unilaterally, will not participate in this area,” official officials say. That is, it would only participate if NATO decides to get involved with one of its permanent fleets in which Spain is present or if the EU modifies the purposes of Operation Atalanta , whose objective is to combat piracy in the waters of Somalia, not far from where the Houthis act.
      Spain is one of the ten countries that the Pentagon included in the international military coalition announced this Monday to fight against the recurrent attacks by the Houthis from Yemen against ships headed to Israel.

      “The major European states are finally – at long last – making some noises calling for a ceasefire to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. What’s taken them so long?
      …The sudden shift by the Europeans is most likely spurred by their concerns over economic pain.

      The closing down of the Red Sea shipping route by the Yemenis in solidarity with the Palestinians is starting to ramp up serious economic costs to global trade… All firms are citing the deterioration in security conditions for their decision to halt shipping operations… The added costs will concatenate to hike consumer inflation and stress Europe’s already fragile economies… It is the Asian-European trade that is most impacted by the Red Sea closure. China is the European Union’s biggest trading partner.
      Yemen may be the poorest among the Arab nations, but it is playing an ace card. It is squeezing the chokepoint on the Red Sea which is threatening severe damage on the Israeli and European economies. This would explain why the major European states are suddenly finding a voice to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Europeans are finding that their economies are at grave risk from disruption of shipping as a result of the Yemenis closing down the Red Sea.
      Once again, the Europeans are finding they are paying a heavy price for being vassals of the United States and not having any independent foreign policy.”

      The Unforgivable Atrocity: Netanyahu’s Heinous Mark on Innocence

      In a grotesque display of inhumanity, an image sears into the collective conscience of the world: Benjamin Netanyahu, emboldened by the unyielding support of his sponsors, coldly stamping a ‘terrorist’ label over innocent babies amid the chaos and rubble of Gaza. This political cartoon is not just a satirical portrayal but a harrowing reflection of a monstrous reality.

      The numbers speak volumes of a tragedy that words can barely encapsulate. Over 7,729 children in Gaza have been stripped of their lives, their futures extinguished before they could even begin. This is not just a casualty of conflict; this is systematic annihilation, a deliberate targeting of the most vulnerable and defenseless. To label these lost lives as ‘terrorists’ is not just a travesty of justice; it is an act of unspeakable evil.

      Each innocent life taken is a scar on the conscience of humanity, a stain on the moral fabric of the world. The contempt for these young lives is not just appalling; it is an abomination. It is a testament to a perverse logic that sees the snuffing out of young lives as collateral in a larger game of power and control.

      With every child’s life taken, Israel not only commits an irredeemable act but also sows the seeds of its own moral undoing. History will not be kind to these acts of evil. The murder of innocent children will be remembered as the darkest chapters in the annals of the Israeli state – a state that increasingly resembles a glorified forward operating base of the US.

      The path Israel treads is one that leads to the edge of an abyss, a point of no return where the weight of these atrocities will demand a reckoning. The continuous cycle of violence and oppression is not just a threat to the Palestinian people; it is a harbinger of a grim future for Israel itself. Source.

      Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim: We have banned all Israeli-flagged ships from entering our territorial waters and Israel-bound ships from docking in our ports. This action is a concrete response to the crimes committed by Israel against the population of Gaza, in defiance of all human values. [And since the Western TNCs will immediately respond by hiding zionist cargoes within their own and vassals’ flagged ships, they in turn will become boycotted. As in finance, a Great Bifurcation in trade shipping will accelerate. Russia led the way in every sphere — see the new Concept of Foreign Policy; the 90% Rest will follow in self-preservation from satanists]
      Shipping line stocks rise amid Suez Canal developments. Stock prices of Asia’s leading shipping companies are seeing a notable rise due to emerging developments around the Suez Canal. The anticipation of an increase in freight rates, due to disruptions to Red Sea routes, is behind this positive dynamic.

      According to UBS Group AG, around 30% of global container trade relies on the Suez Canal, which connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. The current geopolitical situation, particularly Houthi attacks, could impact shipping contracts, particularly those extending from December to March[the period of Dark Winter foretold by both Biden and Trump..]

      Among the companies targeted were AP Moller – Maersk A/S, the largest international group, whose shares jumped 4.7%. Hapag-Lloyd saw an increase of 8%, while ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd saw an increase of 5.5%. The trend extends to Asia, with Japanese shippers showing an increase of 5.8%. Notably, Korea Line Corp. in South Korea and Ningbo Ocean Shipping Co. in China posted substantial gains of 10%.

      Citigroup Inc. points out that rerouting ships between Asia and Europe via Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, instead of the Suez Canal, would extend travel time by up to two weeks. This analysis further adds weight to the potential impact on shipping dynamics and further supports the current rise in shipping company stocks.

      💣In parallel to this, information appears about the mining of the waters of Bab el Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea by the Yemeni Houthis.
      🇺🇸Obviously, the process started after the activation of the Western fleet in the Middle East and the severing of trade routes by the Yemenis through the Suez Canal.

      🔸Forwarded from Older than Edda:
      I look at what is happening off the coast of Arabia and think that if the United States managed to get into a war in this region now, it would be an excellent New Year’s gift for us. Losses from complications on the routes of global maritime trade are causing incomparably greater damage to the United States here and now than what is happening in Ukraine (they have yet to reap the problems from this war in the future), and there is an urgent need to respond to the “Yemen crisis.”

      So let them drag squadrons and fleets there, both friendly and allied, launch an operation, launch missiles, change the orbits of reconnaissance satellites so as to shoot Yemen in search of launchers and field camps of the Houthis, spend high-precision ammunition there, and ideally also land infantry to the ground.

      However, fate is unlikely to give us such a gift, but the mess that is already brewing there is also very, very good. Let’s cheer for beautiful football and the successful use of anti-ship missiles – the Houthis must have them since they have such a range of different ammunition against ground targets.

      🔸 Forwarded from Colonelcassad:
      ▪️Yemen is mobilizing in the face of the threat of attacks from the United States and its satellites. The Houthis’ main trump card is missiles and drones, which, if necessary, can be used to fire not only at ships in the Red Sea but also at Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Effective range allows.
      A ground invasion in Yemen is unlikely – more than 5 years of ground war in Yemen hardly promises any significant prospects for a new ground operation that would require tens of thousands of troops.
      ▪️A more likely scenario involving the US would be airstrikes on Yemen and an increased naval blockade of Yemen. After this, shipping in the Red Sea will most likely cease altogether due to shelling and mines.
      ▪️✔️The Yemeni Navy began mining the waters of Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea after the US, and a coalition of 9 other states announced the imminent start of a military operation against Yemen.
      ▪️Iran invested in the Houthis for many years and did not allow them to be destroyed. Now, Tehran holds the key to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
      ▪️PS. By the way. Russian tankers are said to be sailing safely through the Red Sea and Suez. This is what good relations with Iran mean.
      ▪️PS2. The Houthi leader today commented on the threat of a US attack on Yemen, saying. that going to war with the US and Israel was Ansar Allah’s dream from the very beginning. Yemen is ready to start a people’s war against them ✊

      Oh boy! Did the Ansar Allah just flash the red Hamas triangles over certain floating tombs?? And see how they calculate TIME in Yemen, quite rapid-fire, pun intended. LOL. Serve the steak & lobster while’s there’s time! btw, even worse than cost (which is a plus from perspective of MIC hogs) is that there are limited stocks of air-defense interceptors.. which were planned for Suicide Charges against Iran, China and Russia, lol, not the Yemenis and Hamas!! This is becoming a royal farce for the history books. Gulliver bent over the barrel by the Lilliputians. Begging for the comfort of butter

      Given the pervasive and generational lies of zionists and their satanic liberal fellow-travellers, there’s a review of the contrived holocaust industry. All Taboos are erased by Gaza Genocide. Numbers, repeated rote mantra-like, appear to have been juiced precisely to permit the ongoing ethnic cleansing — the final solution of Palestine. It did the work on neutered western intellectuals and nomenklatura, mute in the face of Genocide. It will not work for the occupation about to be erased from the face of Earth. Alotta skeletons will be unveiled inside formerly sacrosanct filthy closets. Note Al Assad’s concluding points about the origin of Khazarians. Decisions have been made region-wide. The same fate as Gaza: Annihilation or Exodus. Alea iact est.

      a PoV arguing the BRICS are behind the Ansar Allah and the blockade in the Red Sea… could be true, certainly Yemen is in coordination within the Resistance Arc, both per Nasrallah and the Iranians. Is their current blockade of Zionist shipping an asymmetric Sun Tzu move to link both prosperity and Europe’s ability to avert Dark Winters to decoupling from Genocide and the rabid Anglo-Zionist Empire?? TBD..

      There are many BIG assumptions — that the GCC are sober and sane; that European elites are compos mentis and will take a lifeline to ditch Empire, within which they were an integral member for an eon; and that the current objective is (A) preservation of global trade rather than (B) burying the Beast in a Sea Pyre which immediately achieves the superior objective of Stability and Peace even more conducive to commerce against Forces which reason not….

      PS — I agree with Archeon and Amarynth. There remains much that stinks about that putative land-bridge from GCC through Jordan to Occupied Palestine, circumventing the Red Sea. It appears a ploy to keep the GCC in the fold through lies?? In order to defeat or check Yemen, they must have land armies coming in through KSA, the only land border next to Ansar Allah. So more dastardliness against KSA is in the works, not that most may not be true. They just want enhanced accelerated chaos within KSA so they can better commandeer various factions, insert troops, and charge at Yemen. The near-hopeless unblocking of the Bab El Mandeb is now linked to what remains of western martial prestige, the last fig leaf

      Admiral Stavridis (another “404 genius” and former US Viceroy of Europe): “Shipping Companies Must Engage with US Navy” !!!!! We shouldn’t look gift-horses in the mouth. The lunatics make mistake after mistake. Mr P said same just recently. The foolish Admiral spoke the quiet part out loud. Just hours ago I said western TNCs would shield the zionists, and thereby condemn themselves to the same embargo Malaysia unrolled. This is how the Scarlet Letter A is pinned worldwide onto the shielders and enablers of child-killers.

      He makes additional good points. Given defacto war between US and Yemenis:
      🔹US DoD cargo ships are blocked and will not move through Bab El Mandeb until resolution of conflict. So US sealift to region is hampered and will take longer for the duration.
      🔹only 7 US-flagged ships are involved for now, afraid to cross the Gates of Grief. Will more reconvert to western flags in the New Era? Or dive even deeper into shell companies and offshoring? The game has already started with many shippers refusing to list their destinations (and thereby drawing Yemeni fire, lol. An unhelpful ploy against Yemenis). Very interesting cat-and-mouse game afoot.
      🔹he notes tankers from Russia, Iran and friendlies are breezily sailing through. But “ships trading with [or from] the West seem to be the ones targeted.” I am not sure this is accurate [YET] — but more a primal fear from the perp nations given what has been done in their names to Palestine and is about to go down. Their ships may burn
      🔹more on history of Combined Task Force 153 [CTF-153] onto which this Operation Prosperous Genocide [OPG Garden] attempts to piggy-back
      🔹Shippers see advantage in taking the long route around Cape Good Hope — more profit, already flagging after the depression most world entered. This blockade is a boon to them and to oil producers; to everyone in fact except the wallets and heating of Europe and USUK prestige. And would YOU trust a bunch of doped-up trigger-happy semi-crazed cowboys who see every problem as a nail to be hammered, and all mankind as a necessary walkin-talkin collateral-damage? Thus the confirmed lunatics risk your precious billion-dollar ships+cargo! No. All the sane shippers will take the safer longer route.
      🔹The West is screwed in the geopolitical economic war vis-a-vis Russia, China, Iran and the BRICS ships which steam merrily through the Red Sea, lol…..

      this little move by Yemen!

          Thank you for the Crooke article, MistyAnn – it’s an important new thought that I hadn’t considered, and haven’t seen surface until now. Since it’s Crooke we’ll see it expand across Strategic Culture and Judge Nap too over the days, but this is the first draft of his thought. I look forward to more of this.

          So, it is said that the US will have to confront Israel…and this Administration is simply the latest US Administration to have to confront this reality.

          These are some potent dynamics. And yet, Crooke’s observation from back in the day that the settlers weren’t leaving that soil has now been updated by the actions of Hamas. We now know that the settlers are as chickenshit as all the others in that artificial entity…the resistance will make them leave, US or no.

      💠@ejmalrai:
      ⭕ The #US is firing two-million-dollar tax-payer missiles to down a less than 2,000-dollar drone launched from #Yemen. The same applies to #France.
      No limit to this criminal mind. #Israel asked Palestinian civilians to move from north of #Gaza to Khan Yunis in the south, and they bombed them on both sides. Then it asked Palestinians to move from Khan Yunis to Rafah and bombed Rafah, where almost half of Gaza’s 2.3 m population is within 24 miles.
      ⭕ Don’t rush to speculate or deny. The #US-led proxies coalition comprises 12 countries, of which two (who feel ashamed and embarrassed) asked not to be mentioned to exclusively protect #Israel’s merchandise and owned ships.
      ⭕ The #US has sent several messages to #Yemen’s Ansar Allah asking them to de-escalate. All messages were rebuffed and Ansar Allah #Houthis said they would not be flexible over the children and women of #Gaza.
      ⭕ Retweet: We are in Yemen 🇾🇪 we are not afraid of anyone. We have put Israel under our feet  [where satanists belong! The video now deleted on X; you can find same below in TG link, with tribal Yemenis dancing on Israeli flag] 
      ⭕ Remember this tweet:
      A #US-led proxies coalition with all its might will not force #Yemen Ansar Allah to defeat or to allow Israeli ships to cross.
      The bigger the coalition, the more glory will be given to Ansar Allah Houthis. |THREAD[it begins to dawn on the more lucid?? There are frantic attempts for a ceasefire.]
      ⭕ Israelis have been flocking into Cyprus, buying huge areas of land. Huge.
      I wish the Cypriots well! |THREAD|
      ⭕ Quite significant: Al-Qassem sent #Yemen Al-Masira TV a video of the Palestinian Resistance engaging/targeting Israeli Occupation forces in Khan Yunis.
      This symbolic gesture is a “thank you from #Gaza to Yemen” for the unity of the theatres among the “Axis of the Resistance“.
      ⭕ BreakingNews: #Yemen Ansar Allah hit two ships with surface-to-surface missiles in the Red Sea following a refusal to heed the call.
      ⭕ Israel’s fundamental objective: create a buffer zone & destroy the north. It will become a military zone where #Hamas will attack Israel even further in the future.
      Israel will fail.
      The good news is the indication that the war could end shortly
      ⭕ No cease-fire but an end to #Israel’s genocidal war.
      #Yemen is the crown of the resistance along with the Palestinian population[if this sticks, it would be such good news. And Armageddon averted???]
      ⭕ Hezbollah targeted two Israeli helicopters with anti-aircraft missiles, a practice used in recent days but still one of many air defence systems #Lebanon has.
      The use of air defence systems is driving #Israel out of control.
      Humanity at its best (not the fake #US). #Yemen: We shall impose a siege on those who are setting a blockade on the children and women of #Gaza.
      ⭕ If #Hamas agrees to exchange prisoners for a ceasefire instead of ending the war, it will be a mistake. #Israel should withdraw and end the war or allow families to increase pressure on @Netanyahu.

      💠@Strategika51:
      ⭕ Unicef recalls that the Gaza Strip has become the most dangerous place in the world for children. [Gaza: the final abattoir & resting home of western values]
      Tribal warrior dance in Saada in the mountains of northern Yemen dedicated to the fight against Israel. |video|
      ⭕ Independent Egyptian media based abroad and therefore escaping the immense and tight grip of the Egyptian dictatorship recall that the Egyptian military intervention in Yemen during the 1960s had turned into a disaster and was one of the causes of the Egyptian military defeat during the 1967 war [against zionists].

      ⭕ Yemen’s Ansar Allah leader has threatened to directly strike US warships if Washington opts for escalation in the Red Sea.
      ⭕ It will be very difficult if not impossible for Washington to act in Yemen, which is not only a very poor country but already destroyed one where the inhabitants are renowned for being fierce warriors with unfailing resilience and accustomed to all possible deprivations. [they’ve been honed in their own merciless SMO for a decade. No more fat — all lean muscle. And the Head of the Snake waltzes within reach! The sheer lunacy]
      ⭕ Gaza Strip: The Palestinian resistance massively uses anti-tank rocket launchers against Israeli armor. [todays videos.. will upload summary links of best videos on other thread later]
      ⭕ According to the Al-Mayadeen channel, around twenty Israeli tanks and armored vehicles have been targeted by anti-tank rockets in Gaza in recent hours
      ⭕ A Kornet anti-tank missile was used yesterday against a jeep carrying half of the command staff of an Israeli brigade in Gaza. The use of Kornet missiles is quite sparing and Palestinian fighters manufacture Yassine 105 anti-tank rockets themselves in underground workshops.
      ⭕ “The little orphan that your boots wanted to crush after having murdered his parents has become a guerrilla. The more innocent people you kill, the more resistance you will create. If you have not understood this, it is because you are totally narrow-minded and blinded by your ridiculous supremacism” (graffiti in Gaza)
      Israeli leaders don’t want to know anything and are heading straight for disaster. [this is an understatement!]
      ⭕ Yemen’s Houthis have granted passage to a Russian tanker heading towards the Suez Canal. [Big Bear usually welcome as helped kick out the accursed British Empire and had use of some of best ports in the Indian Ocean]

      Mines.  Main channel too deep. The channel between Perm Isl and Yemen shore just right. This waterway is disputed as to right of innocent passage. We shall see that the dispute is no more, mines being hard to argue with. The Ruskie tankships steamed serenely past the guardian of the Gate, en-route Syria, they say. See what happens when people are nice!
