    Yes well said dear emerson about Meyssan’s latest. It leaves much to be desired. No human is perfect. He is IMO, fabulously off-course. To equate Hamas with the demonic zionist and their supranational cabal allies!

    Each allegation can be refuted, point by point. As you say, “the questions raised from 1 thru 6 are mildly curious, some of which may’ve been solved by consultations with hanoi, comrade kim, afghani cave dwellers, china, russia or hollywood….” Underlying this mindset he displays is unfortunate transferred contempt and racism towards Islamists, who many continue to see as cartoon figures incapable of learning and becoming efficient and sophisticated.

    • Are all MB?!!
    • Can they not learn and develop effective tools of psywar and guerrilla war?
    • Are any as inspired as those with their backs to the wall, facing guaranteed Genocide, either slow or rapid??
    • Did not the entire Resistance camp — including tunneling experts DPRK, Hezbollah, and Iran teach, train and inspire them?
    • Are there not tunnels underneath Gaza into Egypt large enough in which to drive, and whose bidirectional routes can solve any issue?
    • Can the zionists’ overhead ISR catch everything happening on the ground or underground in Gaza??
    • How did this over-reliance on technology work out on October 07, even if it was permitted to advance?
    • Are all Egyptians rank hypocrites and traitors to the muslim/Palestinian cause?
    • Did not Russia and Egypt and Iran and Hassan Nasrallah forgive Hamas’ terrorist past, born of the Muslim Brotherhood, taking them off the terrorist rolls and hosting their envoys?
    • Are Egypt and Russia and Iran and Hezbollah ALL led by idiots!?

    And so on. All the other points you raised similarly destroy these unsubstantiated and reaching theory, connecting wild dots and conjecture.

    Even if the elite of Hamas has a different mindset and goal than the foot-soldiers, what guarantee is that their [alleged] nefarious arrangements with the zionists will prevail? And that as the regional elites are toppled, they will come to prominence?? Does a distant elite in Qatar, Turkey and elsewhere prevail or the local Gazans, whose lives are on the line, and who did not even inform these distant elites of the actual start date of Oct 07? He’s built elaborate air castles for himself, per Sudhi’s favorite song, and seems wandering among the fluffy clouds. It is as with the West starting the Ukie war against Russia. Fools rush into what they know not. Others tend to finish it on their terms, come what may and despite risible optical narrative wars.

    Meyssan has his clear limitations, as do we all. And I think he is emotionally involved, hating Hamas, because he was living in Damascus during the time they fought for Empire against the Al Assad government. They put his own life at risk, being so close to capturing Damascus! Even the Syrians do not trust certain branches of Hamas to this day. Hamas remains a visceral enemy to many to this day, unable to reconcile and move on.. On this issue we can safely ignore him.

    ⭕ Israeli media: Increasing disagreements between Israel and the United States regarding the continuation of the fighting

    Blinken tells the political level in “Israel” during a charged meeting: “You have weeks, not months.”

    Defense Minister Gallant told Blinken that the process would take months, to which Blinken responded: “I don’t think you have months.”
    ⭕ The United States does not support the idea of ​​a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, only temporary pauses, the White House reported
    ⭕ Israeli army spokesman: We are ready to resume fighting in the Gaza Strip immediately
    ⭕ Israeli media:  All the technology present on the northern border will not prevent Hezbollah from storming the Galilee if it decides to do so.
    ⭕ Israeli Defense Minister: We are fighting a just war and we will not stop until we recover the hostages and destroy Hamas, and we will fight no matter the cost

    💠 @Middle East Spectator:
    ⭕ Some interesting statements from resistance factions today:

    – 🇮🇶 Islamic Resistance in Iraq: ‘We declare our readiness to immediately escalate military operations inside and outside Iraq, as soon as Israel decides to continue its monstrous killing against Gaza or Lebanon’.

    – 🇾🇪 Ansarullah in Yemen: ‘We declare our full readiness to resume and expand our military operations against Israel, including the targeting of Israeli assets on land and sea, if they intend to continue their war against Gaza’.

    The Resistance Axis is sending a clear message that they will respond and resume military operations in a united front against Israel, just as they did before the truce.

    💠 @Resistance News Network:
    ⭕ Today so far and as of 9:00 PM, just 28 aid trucks have entered through the Rafah crossing in southern #Gaza. Under the terms of the ceasefire, 200 trucks should be allowed in per day, in addition to a number of fuel trucks, seven of which have entered today.

    The occupation continues to block the delivery of aid to all parts of the Gaza Strip for the seventh day in a row. [Connecting the dots.. round two is imminent]

    “In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful.

    In implementation of the directives of Commander Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, may God protect him, and in response to the demands of our great Yemeni people and the calls of the free people of our Arab and Islamic nation to stand fully with the choices of the Palestinian people and their proud resistance, the Yemeni armed forces affirm the following:

    1) Its full readiness to resume its military operations against the Israeli enemy if it decides to resume its aggression against Gaza.
    2) The Yemeni armed forces will not hesitate to expand their military operations against the Israeli entity to include targets that they may not expect on land or at sea.
    3) The Yemeni Armed Forces continue to block Israeli ships in the Red Sea and will take further measures to ensure the full implementation of this decision.
    4) The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm that their military operations will stop as soon as the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip stops.
    5) The Yemeni Armed Forces also call on all the free people of the Arab and Islamic nation and the free people of the world to take honorable positions towards the Palestinian issue and to support and support its free resistance.

    And Allah bears witness to what we have said”

    ⭕ Hamas published a visual message by Zionist prisoner Yarden Bibas, whose wife, Sherry, and his two children, Kfir and Ariel, were killed by the occupation bombardments.

    Yarden is complaining to Netanyahu. The resistance offered to hand over the three bodies, but israel refused to receive them. |video|
    ⭕ Islamic Resistance in Iraq announces:

    Their affirmation that it will not leave its people in this war to face the tyrants of the world alone, it declares its readiness to escalate military operations inside and outside Iraq, if the American enemy insists on the continuation of the Zionist killing machine, whether in steadfast Gaza or in proud southern Lebanon.

    💠 @Strategika51:
    ⭕ More difficult times await the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip.
    Nothing will be spared them.
    ⭕ According to the American channel NBC, State Department diplomats knew from the first images from Gaza what type of ammunition was being used and this fact caused a lot of trouble within this institution.
    Other US officials believe that the use of this type of US munitions against civilian populations locked in an open-air prison has caused irreversible damage to their country’s image in the world.

    💠 @Eyes on South:
    ⭕ If the United States wants the israeli war on Gaza to end, it has all the tools to do so, even with all the lobbying taking place, because at one point, the deep state interests is superior to all pressure. Subsequently, the deep state’s interests here align with the genocide taking place in Gaza.

    The US sees a need for the war to proceed but wants to distance itself from the PR distaster

    While public pressure is truly influencing tactics & decisions, yet “US opposing new round” mostly serves that
    ⭕ Axios, citing sources: Blinken did not ask for a halt to the [war on Gaza], but expressed his concern about increasing international pressure if it prolonged
    ⭕ The Resistance Axis has issued statements today threatening israelis against renewing the war on Gaza as a last ultimatum, both for deterrence reasons and also to tell them you have been warned

    This comes as the possibility of israelis restarting the war is becoming more likely

    👆👆 among key reasons for this transient truce. I disagree with Elijah Magnier; Crooke is onto the revolutionary gestalt for both sides. Genocide will likely resume shortly, on even worse scale.

    ⭕ In the presence of a massive crowd, Al-Qassam Brigades handed over moments ago two zionist prisoners to the Red Cross in Palestine Square in downtown Gaza City, an area the IOF claims was “under military control.”

    ⭕ 🚨 Yasser Abdulbaset Al-Masri, resident of Beit Hanoun in northern #Gaza, ascended to martyrdom after being shot by IOF snipers. This brings the number of martyrs in northern #Gaza who ascended since yesterday to four, in light of the ceasefire. [The crimes committed by Zionists are too comprehensive.

    Elena Panina, director of the Institute for International Strategic Studies: “Tehran and Riyadh will develop ties in the military sphere.

    This was agreed upon during a telephone conversation on November 30, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Hossein Bakeri, and the Minister of Defense of Saudi Arabia, Khalid bin Salman Al Saud.
    This is not the first step towards rapprochement between the two key states of the Greater Middle East in the military sphere.  In June, the commander of the Iranian Navy, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, unveiled plans for the formation of a new naval coalition in the northern Indian Ocean by several countries in the region, including Iran and Saudi Arabia.  And in August, representatives of the defense ministries of the two states reached an agreement on the exchange of military attaches, writes the Iranian Tasnim agency.
    Let us recall that with the mediation of China, Iran and KSA entered into an agreement on March 10, 2023 to restore diplomatic relations – by the way, after a seven-year break.
    Of course, the comprehensive development of relations between the two regional heavyweights makes the situation in the Middle East more stable.  It also reduces the risk of Saudi Arabia being drawn into a military conflict with Iran over the interests of Israel and the United States.  But most importantly, the formation of a strategic partnership between Iran and Saudi Arabia would help rid the entire region of Washington’s “paternal” tutelage, which would be fatal for American interests.
    By losing influence in the Middle East, the United States loses not only oil, but also the very opportunity to influence its pricing.  This is a “triple blow” to American hegemony around the world – political, economic and financial.”

    We strongly condemn the visit of the corrupt zionist entity’s president Herzog to the United Arab Emirates, which is a clear defiance of the will of the Muslim nation and a blatant disregard for the sacrifices of the Palestinian people.

    At a time when non-Arab capitals are expelling the zionist ambassador and severing their relations with the zionist state, the Emirates regime opens its doors to the killers of children and women and the new Nazis, in a moral downfall and betrayal of the Arabs and the Muslim nation.

    Russia takes control of Iraq’s largest oil field.
    OilPrice claims that taking 100% of Iraq’s largest oil field would be “a decisive chapter in the West’s eventual demise”:

    Preliminary estimates put Iraq’s Eridu oil field at 7 billion to 10 billion barrels. Senior Russian oil industry sources OilPrice .com spoke to exclusively last week said the true figure could well be 50 percent higher than higher end of that range. In any case, the Eridu field – part of Iraq’s Block 10 exploration and development region – is the largest oil field in Iraq in the last 20 years, and Russia wants to control it completely along with its main geopolitical ally, China. Moscow and Beijing’s goals are to keep the West out of energy deals in Iraq in order to keep Baghdad closer to the new Iran-Saudi axis and end Western hegemony in the Middle East.”

    Previously Lukoil Corporation owned 60%, Inpex’s decision to sell its 40% stake in Block 10, where the huge Eridu field is located, paves the way for Lukoil to gain full control over the entire oil-rich territory, the industry publication notes.

    The Al-Zubair announcement came shortly after the awarding by Baghdad of another major contract to another Chinese company to build a civilian airport to replace the military base in the capital of the southern oil rich Dhi Qar governorate. The Dhi Qar region includes two of Iraq’s potentially biggest oil fields – Gharraf and Nassiriya – and China has said it intends to complete the airport by 2024. This region is also to the immediate north of the huge Eridu oil field and to the northwest of Basra.
    Iran’s IRGC commander said the IDF has deployed up to 1,600 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles in the Gaza Strip. Losses already amount to up to 300 pieces of equipment and hundreds of military personnel. According to the military leader, Israel does not specifically publish this information.

    The attacks spread to civilians/settlers on Israeli side. 15 or so were gunned down at a bus stop in Jerusalem, with at least three dying. The Palestinian arabs living within Israel now being murdered too — a pregnant woman taking her child to school in the morning was knifed. These two societies cannot live together. Too much hatred and unending reprisals are underway. As the craziest zionists lead the israeli side, with Nutty apparently the saner voice (!!), it will proceed to the bitter end. One side or the other or both will consume each other. At this point, the contagion may have spread to the arabs; all look for opportunity to kill the other… Emotion is in charge. Forget two-state, there may not even be a single state of either side left!

    💠@Fotros Resistance:
    ⭕ A pregnant woman was stabbed to death in lydd (“lod”) in front of her children while walking them to school this morning. Zionist accounts first reported it as a terrorist attack until they found out the victim was palestinian
    ⭕ World Health Organization (WHO): The total number of israeli attacks on health facilities in the Gaza Strip since October 7th, reached 203.
    Hamas: The Israeli occupier must remain on alert in every city, village, street and alley. The heroes of our people are ready to avenge the blood of the martyrs and repel the aggression.

    ⭕ Via Boris “Colonel Cassad” Rozhin:

    Iran reported that during the Hamas operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7, a server with intelligence data was captured at one of the Israeli military bases and taken to the Gaza Strip. Lists of Israeli agents and informants in Iran fell into the hands of Hamas (and then Iran). The extent of the compromise of Israel’s intelligence network in Iran is not yet clear. Since the start of the war, Iranian media have reported several captured Israeli spies. Several more agents were caught in Gaza (two were publicly executed).

    Popular Resistance Committees: We bless the heroic operation in the “Rummima” settlement in the occupied city of Al-Quds and consider it a natural and obligatory response to the crimes, massacres, and the zionist Holocaust against our people in Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.

    The zionist crimes and the genocide conducted by the zionist entity against our Palestinian people will generate more responses and heroic operations as revenge for the blood of the innocents.

    We call on all our people and its free, revolutionary youth to take the initiative and strike the zionist enemy and its settler hordes everywhere on our blessed Palestinian land, and to declare a general mobilization to confront the crimes and massacres of the criminal zionist enemy across the geography of Palestine.

    The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praises the qualitative Al-Quds operation and confirms that it came in response to zionist massacres and the execution of children.

    The zionists should expect more of these qualitative operations.

    The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praised the heroic Al-Quds operation carried out by the heroic brothers Ibrahim and Murad Nimer from the town of Sur Baher, which resulted in the killing of three zionists, including one of the senior rabbis. It confirmed that this heroic operation was in response to the war of extermination and massacres committed by the occupation against our people, the latest of which was the cold-blooded execution of three children in Jenin camp.

    This qualitative operation sent a strong message to the criminal zionist enemy that there is no safe place for zionists anywhere on our land, and that the revolutionaries of our people are capable of striking the security system, breaking through fortifications and security barriers to hit deep within the entity with painful qualitative operations.

    This heroic operation, executed in the heart of occupied Al-Quds, is a practical embodiment of the unity and will of the Palestinian people and the steadfast determination of the resistance to continue the option of resistance until achieving our people’s goals of liberation and return.

    The Front concluded its statement with a clear message to the zionist entity and its cowardly and defeated leaders to expect more of these qualitative operations in the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds, in conjunction with the heroic epic being written by the resistance in Gaza.

    – We affirm that all of Palestine belongs to the Arab Palestinian people, and there is no place for strangers on a single inch of it.

    – We confirm that the crime initiated by the international organization and the major powers in Palestine is still ongoing, as the genocidal crimes carried out by the zionists with their support have revealed the ugly face of the West and its historical responsibility for the tragedy and suffering of our people.

    ⭕ 🟢 Hamas leader Osama Hamdan to Al-Mayadeen:

    Efforts to extend the truce have not yet matured. What has been presented to us so far to extend the truce is not worthy of consideration.

    If the occupation carries out any aggression, the resistance is ready, and if the calm continues, we will continue the calm.

    What is being discussed now is stopping the aggression and lifting the siege on Gaza, and then we enter the discussion about the exchange of prisoners.

    A ceasefire is not enough for us; the occupation’s vehicles must withdraw from Gaza and stop its hostile activities.

    There will be no talk about exchanging our military prisoners before stopping the aggression and lifting the siege on Gaza. There is no talk or negotiation about them now, and this is clear.

    We have been keen since the beginning to release prisoners from all of Palestine, including those from the occupied lands of 1948.

    If the occupation shows readiness to exchange elderly prisoners, we are ready for that, meaning an extension of the truce.

    The Russian stance since the beginning of the aggression has been positive. The resistance released prisoners who were found to be Russian, in appreciation of the Russian position supportive of the Palestinian people.

    It is natural for us to consider including fighters from around the world, such as the fighter Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, in the next exchange.
    ⭕ ⚫️ Deputy Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, Dr. Mohammed Al-Hindi to Al-Mayadeen:

    The issue of the Palestinian people is the issue of the entire world.

    The fate of Gaza is linked to the fate of the West Bank, Al-Quds and Palestine.

    Any force that will come to rule Gaza without the will of the people of Gaza, we will deal with it as an occupying force.

    On October 7, arrogance was buried forever and there is no security or peace without the Palestinian people taking their rights.

    Regional tensions in the Red Sea and on the southern Lebanon front will help change the American position, but the basis is Gaza’s steadfastness.

    Over the course of 45 days, the occupation failed to achieve its goals and did not free a single prisoner.

    Pictures of the fighters of Saraya Al-Quds and Al-Qassam Brigades yesterday reflect the extent of coordination and cooperation between them.

    ⭕ 22-year-old freed prisoner Mariam Salhab, liberated from the zionist prisons today following the resistance’s prisoner exchange deal after being abducted on October 26th, speaks about the conditions of the prisons:

    “We were preparing ourselves for the prisoner count at 10:00. The jailer surprised me by naming me and my friend in the same room, at the top of the list. Our feelings were mixed with feelings of joy for our release and sadness that we are leaving the other girls in the prison amidst these difficult conditions.

    The other prisoners told me that after October 7th, they were repressed, sprayed with pepper spray, and their electronic devices were taken from them. They were only allowed 30 minutes per day to use the bathroom.

    We had very little food, and it was very bad. The capacity of the prison was 50 people, but we had 85 prisoners there, forcing others to sleep on the ground.

    I cannot forget the sadness about our martyrs in Gaza. We thank our resistance that sacrificed for us to achieve this blessed deal.”

    ⭕ Hmmm… Starting in 2025, poor tenth graders in the Canadian province of Ontario will be forced to study the topic of the Ukrainian “Holodomor” as a compulsory subject. I can imagine how many fakes they will be told!

    I suggest that Canadians do not stop there, but hire SS man Gunka, who was recently glorified by the Canadian Parliament, as a lecturer on this subject. Moreover, he lives in Ontario

    -Learning from history so Justin Trudeau’s not doomed to repeat another standing ovation.
    ⭕ The Telegraph

    Nato can outlast Russia in Ukraine, David Cameron told allies on Wednesday, saying its combined economic might was 30 times greater than Moscow’s.

    Addressing his first Nato meeting as Foreign Secretary, Lord Cameron called on member states to harness their collective advantage to deliver Kyiv enough weapons to defeat Vladimir Putin’s forces.

    The meeting in Brussels came amid concerns in Ukraine over dwindling Western support while the conflict in Gaza continues.

    However, Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of Nato, urged allies not to “underestimate Russia”.

    He said allies should seek to sign more multi-year, multi-country deals to convince arms manufacturers to increase production to meet Ukraine’s demands for at least the next two years.

    British manufacturer BAE Systems and 20 French defense firms have already opened operations in Ukraine with a view to eventually starting production there.

    ⭕ Ukraine will not be able to expel Russian troops from its territory until the end of 2024.

    NATO diplomats told Euractiv this while discussing how to hold the front line in Ukraine in the coming months.

    According to them, the fulfillment of orders for weapons, especially missiles and ammunition, and the overall acceleration of military production is not going quite as planned.

    “A NATO official, speaking on condition of anonymity, warned that Ukraine may not be able to expel all Russian troops from its territory before the end of 2024,” the newspaper writes.

    ⭕ Deputy Foreign Minister [Ryabkov] of the Russian Federation: There will be no truce with Ukraine, the goals of the Northern Military District will be achieved

    Against the backdrop of a wave of publications in the Western press about the need to freeze the conflict in Ukraine, about the so-called “Korean option,” some fears naturally arose that Russia might fall for this bait. Because a certain elite layer is still interested in this.

    However, there was a positive vibe from the interview of Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov to Izvestia.

    Correspondent’s question: So you don’t expect a truce next year?

    Answer from S. Ryabkov: Not only do I not expect a truce, I expect that the goals of the North Military District will certainly be achieved.

    In the same interview, Ryabkov said that the US’s readiness to force Ukraine to a truce next year “is not something that is not visible, but I can’t imagine it at the current stage”: “There is nothing to discuss with us on the conditions that Ukraine has put forward.” .

    Let me remind you that we are talking about the so-called “Zelensky peace formula” of 10 points, involving the surrender of Russia, the withdrawal of troops to the borders of Ukraine in 1991, the payment of reparations, etc.

    At the same time, the Russian diplomat emphasized that “on such a basis, not only will no agreements be possible, but dialogue is also impossible.”

    Russia’s victory at the front is inevitable, I am 100% sure of it. And the main thing for us, taking into account the lessons of History, is not to let it be stolen. In this regard, the position of the Russian Foreign Ministry stated above inspires optimism.

    The ongoing savage aggression against the city of Jenin and its camp, the raids carried out by the occupation soldiers, preventing ambulances from performing their duties, besieging hospitals, arrests, and destroying the infrastructure are the most heinous methods of terror and crime against our people and further evidence of its continuous failure.

    We are determined to confront the enemy and engage with it regardless of the sacrifices, and we call on all our people to resist comprehensively and make the enemy pay for these brutal crimes.

    Jenin will remain a graveyard and a thorn in the throat of the occupation.

    The occupation’s crime in Jenin and the execution of children is a chapter in the chapters of the ongoing zionist massacre.

    The ongoing crime of the occupation in the Jenin camp, which today led to the cold-blooded execution of a group of children and the injury of several citizens, is a chapter of the ongoing zionist massacre against our Palestinian people. This reflects the extent of hatred, vengeful tendencies, and fascism of this defeated zionist entity.

    The failed Zionist enemy, which was defeated by the strikes of the resistance in the Gaza Strip in a disgraceful defeat and which was unable to achieve any of its goals in eradicating the resistance in the West Bank amidst the valor and steadfastness of the resistance, is pouring out its fury and brutality on children and unarmed civilians in endless massacres by this cowardly army.

    The resistance, as usual, will respond to this crime and will inflict more losses on the cowardly zionist soldiers, and Jenin of Al-Qassam will remain, as usual, a graveyard for and a thorn in the throat of the occupation soldiers. Its resistance will continue to be blazing and continuous, merging with the resistance of Gaza to make the enemy taste hell and more painful strikes.

    The opportunity is now ripe for the West Bank to ignite fiercely in a comprehensive confrontation against this zionist entity across the lands of the West Bank, affirming that the sacrifices of our people and our fighters will not be in vain and will always be fuel for igniting the flame of resistance on the path to liberation.

    According to doctors who stayed in the hospital until the final moments of forced evacuation on November 10th, they were forced to leave the five infants, two of which are on incubators and three in intensive care. The occupation gave medical staff 30 minutes to evacuate amidst firing by tanks at the hospital, staff, and displaced.

    The hospital director, Dr. Mustafa Al-Kahlot, noted that all appeals to international organizations, including the Red Cross, received no response.

As a result of these measures, longer transit times in the relevant Zim services are anticipated, though every effort is being made to minimize disruptions.”

In 1977, the UN General Assembly decided to celebrate November 29 annually as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

    💠@Russian MoFA:
    ⭕ President Vladimir Putin sent greetings to President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas on International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

    ✉️ At a time when a bloody conflict is bringing unspeakable suffering to the civilian population of Palestine, I believe it is particularly important to reaffirm Russia’s consistent position in favour of exercising the legitimate rights of your people to establish their own sovereign state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

    ❗️ This is what we see as the key condition for achieving a comprehensive, long-term and just Palestinian-Israeli settlement.

    I am confident that through a joint effort we will be able to ensure further development of traditionally friendly Russian-Palestinian relations and beneficial cooperation in various areas. This is undoubtedly in our common interests and is in line with strengthening regional security and stability. [emphasis in original]

    There are many signs ceasefire is starting to hold. Another four days are in the offing. Zionists suffered too many losses, even before fully wading into the areas with tunnels, and their reservist system can’t handle it. Some whisper the honorable Biden regime considers throwing their Zionist proxy under the Bus, given the extreme global reaction to Genocide. The toxicity is super radioactive. May the supranational crazies continue their infighting and spontaneous combustion.

    Good morning from Cairo! (are you beginning to understand Egyptians better?! An ancient and unique culture, which entered modernity on its own terms)

    ⭕ There was an incursion by occupation forces in Jenin, where an Israeli bulldozer went ahead and destroyed both roads and infrastructure.
    ⭕ The Japanese Coast Guard reports that a US military aircraft, an Osprey, crashed off the coast of Japan with eight people on board. [Bodywashing casualties from Syraq? These craft have a history of accidents too.]
    ⭕ The ongoing incursion by the Zionist entity into Jenin has been going on for 12 hours now. Alongside armed clashes with Resistance fighters, they have been besieging hospitals and raiding homes, forcing families to leave. Video shows families being forced to leave by the occupation forces |video| [no ceasefire is possible with Zionists. Just truces until the next aggression]
    ⭕ Artillery and intermittent fire from Zionist military vehicles into the Northwest axis of Gaza city was observed, despite the current truce.
    ⭕ In the ongoing incursion by the occupation forces into Jenin, families are forced to leave their homes by Israeli soldiers stationed in between their houses. [This is an openly gangster state!]

    “In 2012, western backed Free Syrian Army terrorists FSA stole my olive oil factory in Aleppo and gave it to their allies in ISIS who in turn sent me a confiscation letter telling me to visit their HQ in the “children hospital” in East Aleppo where they shared location with all other “moderate” rebels in the city.

    Of course I did not go because I was on their hit list. In 2014, the Syrian army liberated my factory and I immediately turned it into a free school to provide secular education for poor kids in the area who were subjected to radicalism in previous years. I kept the school running for 8 yrs until the gov fixed its nearby school.

    In 2022, I decided to go back to work exporting one of the best extra virgin olive oil in the world. I rehabilitated my factory with huge financial difficulty due to harsh economic sanctions on Syria. Today, the factory is closed because of these sanctions.

    My case is the case of most Syrians who struggled against terrorism for 12 years.

    The very same thugs who robbed me with ISIS are now free in Idleb under al-Qaeda rule. They are only 20km away from where I am now. All of this happened to us because our country did not sell Palestine.[Syria and Palestine have always been linked. Both are attacked by same party, and Syria additionally because it supports the Resistance. Today they have backup. Almost 90% humanity were moved by the Gaza Genocide. Hundreds of millions have been recruited to help them fight in every sphere.]
    ⭕ Israeli newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” on the head of the “Kiryat Shmona” settlement: They promised us that Hezbollah members would not return to the border fence, and here they are again.
    ⭕ Yedioth Ahronoth Israeli newspaper:

    Yesterday, the heads of the northern settlements presented documents and pictures to the Israeli Chief of Staff showing the incorrectness of what the Minister of Defense stated that Hezbollah retreated from the border fence.
    Commentators:
    🔹Burkan baby burkan
    🔹It’s baffling how some people know they’re living on stolen land and they still expect their lives to be smooth and quiet and lovely. I guess they discovered that the stories about the vengeful Arab are not completely false by now
    🔹️ Oh dear, when ‘your own’ are exposing your lies and bullshit, that’s never a good sign.

    💠 @Arab_Africa:  
    Legal forum “Justice for the Palestinian people” will be held in Algeria

    On November 29 and 30, Algeria will host a legal forum aimed at bringing together lawyers to create a global alliance that will support Palestine and its people in an orderly and legal manner against Israeli attacks.

    Renowned French lawyer Gilles Devers, who has filed several cases against Israel at the International Criminal Court, is expected to arrive in Algeria to participate in the forum.

    Malawi to send 5,000 more people to work on Israeli farms. Malawi’s government has announced plans to send 5,000 young people to work on Israeli farms, despite criticism for sending 221 young people to the country last weekend.

    “We are looking at an initial figure of around 5,000, that’s what we are targeting now,” Malawi Information Minister Moses Kunkuyu told. The minister defended the much-criticised move, saying that it was part of the government’s ongoing program of providing employment to young people locally and abroad. [the IMF/WB and economic hitmen are being openly used..

    Popular Resistance Committees:

    What our heroic Palestinian people in the steadfast Gaza Strip have been subjected to, a war of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement, that shames humanity, requires urgent action and uprising against the criminal and fascist zionist behavior by the nations of our Ummah and all the free people in the world. This is especially true as the American administration and the Western system are in deep partnership with the zionist entity to continue committing crimes against our people after the end of this humanitarian truce imposed by the resistance through its legendary, epic, and unparalleled steadfastness of our people and our families in the steadfast Gaza Strip.

    We call for the continuation of the appreciated efforts to relieve our people and provide humanitarian and medical aid, and we express our pride in the Qatari and Egyptian stance. We call for the implementation of the decision of the Arab and Islamic Summit in Riyadh to break the siege, open the Rafah crossing, and stop the aggression and the zionist holocaust committed by the zionist-American enemy against women, children, elderly, homes, schools, hospitals, mosques, and churches, and shelter centers.

    We call on our Arab and Islamic masses and all the free people who reject the enemy’s massacres and slaughter against our people in the Gaza Strip, and we salute all those who have raised their voices loudly against this genocide and zionist Holocaust.

    We salute all the journalists and media personnel from our people, many of whom have died due to zionist criminality, and to the Arab and Islamic satellite channels and all media outlets supporting our people’s cause, which played a significant role in exposing the zionist crimes against our people.

    We record our pride and esteem for our resistance fighters and mujahideen in the Gaza Strip, who confronted with bravery, courage, and high sacrifice, thwarting all plans and objectives of the zionist enemy and its ground war, proving that our people and their resistance cannot be broken no matter how much the forces of evil conspire against them.

    ⭕ Zaher Jabareen, head of the office of martyrs, wounded, and prisoners in Hamas:
    🔹There are 400 Palestinian child prisoners in occupation prisons.
    🔹There are Palestinian prisoners who have spent 44 continuous years in prison.
    🔹Al-Qassam Commander Mohammed Deif made his promise to the prisoners and he will keep the promise, and we will clear the prisons [of all prisoners].
    ⭕ The nation of Mauritania cancelled all celebrations for its 63rd independence day in solidarity with #Gaza.
    ⭕ The youngest Palestinian child prisoner in the resistance exchange deal Ahmad Salayma is free. Ahmad says he found out he was going to be liberated two hours ago.

    “[On October 7th,] they closed all sections, we heard the women’s voices when they were hit in the women’s section in ‘Damon’ [prison], the repression unit was coming to us but they were prevented.” “They only gave us two meals a day, we slept hungry, and there were no means of communication.” His father says his son lost at least 10 kg while he was in the occupation’s prisons.
    ⭕ Deputy Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement Mohammed Al-Hindi:
    🔹Saraya Al-Quds handed over the civilian detainees, including women and children.
    🔹We can accept an “all-for-all” equation regarding [exchanging] prisoners.
    🔹The enemy’s choices are difficult regarding the hostages because he failed to recover them militarily.
    🔹If “israel” is ready to release all our prisoners, we are ready.
    🔹“Israel’s” tone of preparing for war is [a tactic] to influence the course of negotiations.
    🔹The performance of the resistance and the steadfastness of our people is what will decide the fate of the battle.
    🔹“Israel” may be forced to end the aggression in light of its increasing losses.
    🔹We are ready for any escalation because the enemy does not limit its evil.
    ⭕ The IOF fired tear gas directly towards a home in Al-Issawiyah, #AlQuds, causing it to catch fire. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported three suffocation injuries due to the fire and the injured are have been transported to the hospital.|video|

    15-year-old prisoner Moataz Al-Salayma embraces his loved ones after he was liberated from the zionist prisons today as a result of the resistance’s prisoner exchange deal. Moataz was imprisoned for the last four months. |video|
    ⭕ Liberated prisoner Haneen Akram Masaed from #Bethlehem embraces her family following her release as part of the fifth batch of the resistance’s prisoner exchange deal. She says “No one witnessed what we witnessed in prison. They tortured us a lot.”
    ⭕ Liberated prisoner and Birzeit University student Ruba Assi has been abducted by the IOF several times for her student activism, having recently served 21 months until she was freed in March of last year until she was re-arrested after October 7th and placed under administrative detention without charge or trial.

    Today, she is freed from the zionist prisons again as a result of the resistance’s prisoner exchange deal.

    Today, Ruba declares, “We renew our faith in the Palestinian resistance in all places of their presence. This present freedom will extend to the complete freedom for Palestine and its people.” She describes the 24/7 repression in the prisons and the constant steadfastness of the prisoners.

    “There is hope in the inevitability of victory, hope of freedom, not just for the prisoners, but for all Palestinian people and for all Palestinian lands.”

    “All the sacrifices that passed by the bodies of the martyrs will not go to waste. The occupation will go to waste, and it deserves it.”

    “We have complete faith in the inevitability of victory: today, tomorrow, or after it. We are all walking on this path, because we have faith in the resistance. We either live in dignity or die. It is better to die than live humiliated.”

    “All the Palestinian people are just waiting for the signal from the resistance.”

    Ruba reiterates what many liberated prisoners have been saying: prisoners are prevented from receiving news, or seeing their family or lawyers; the prison administration would lie to them before they were released. The prisoners would sleep without mattresses and were beaten daily. Yet, Ruba reiterates that the prisoners’ confrontation with the jailer is constant.

    “It is either us or them. Our life with them is impossible. We were not asking for just better prison conditions. We want freedom!” |video| [the real humiliated prisoners of a wretched existence in occupied Palestine are the zionist settlers! What a filthy life they live. And they know it is a degraded existence, why they so hate Palestinians who remind them of this every day. Why the solution is not even a one-state now. Given their dead-end satanism, it has become total Genocide or Patagonia]
    ⭕ Liberated prisoner Ruba Assi:

    We know that all of these sacrifices will not go in vain. These sacrifices will not stop because of a truce or aid.

    When the resistance demands something, it encompasses everything. They think of all of the Palestinian people. They don’t just think about the Gaza Strip and how to improve the living conditions there. They think about how to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea.

    The conditions of imprisonment are very difficult. The achievements of the prisoners, baptized in blood after long years of struggle, were taken away from them.

    From the first moments of the war, we had no food for long periods of time. We would sleep on the ground without mattresses. We were subjected to naked searches, beatings by the jailers for all female prisoners, and deprivation of food and water and all the necessities of life. We would sleep hungry.

    We do not strive for better prison conditions. We strive for freedom.
    ⭕ “Where did your weight go? Didn’t they feed you? You lost 20 kg.”
    “No, they deprived me of everything.” The freed child prisoner Qassam Attoun speaks to his father after his liberation from the zionist prisons today at the hands of the Palestinian resistance.
    ⭕ Signs of abuse and torture are evident on the body of liberated child prisoner Mohammed Shatara of Al-Issawiya, #AlQuds, liberated today as a result of the resistance’s prisoner exchange deal. His mother met him in the hospital, after the IOF refused to release him near his home due to ongoing confrontations. [the world notes these fruits of western values……]
    ⭕ Cuban activist Aleida Guevara, daughter of Che Guevara, at the memorial of martyrs Farah Omar, Rabie Maamari, and Hussein Akeel:

    Words cannot express our pain for the ascent of thousands of Palestinian children by these barbaric crimes.

    I am the daughter of resistance fighters, and we have no choice but to either ascend as martyrs or to be victorious, but we have never known such a criminal enemy.

    This enemy did not fight the resistance fighters but took revenge on the children of Palestine. It is an enemy of cowardice and filth like we have never known.

    The zionist state has recorded a record number of its crimes in the history of humanity. It pains us that “israel” escapes punishment, with support from European countries and the United States. What hurts more than “israel’s” escape from punishment is the indifference of many towards these painful events.

    The Palestinian people must regain their usurped land and their right to a dignified life.

    We demand the truth defended by Al-Mayadeen, which the world needs to know, and which cost the lives of 70 resistant journalists. The martyrs who ascended revealed the glaring truth and the hidden lies of terrorism. Martyrs Farah, Rabie, and others are our motivation to prevent the fall of those seeking to reveal the truth.

    We must continue the resistance until death or victory. Our motto will remain “Homeland or death… and we will triumph.”
    PFLP leader Leila Khaled at the memorial of martyrs Farah Omar, Rabie Maamari, and Hussein Akeel:

    Here is the resistance triumphing on October 7th. We will remain on the martyrs’ path, each from their position. The path of the martyrs is the path of life, and martyrdom has taught us how to live free. They are the killers and the criminals.

    The Palestinian narrative has triumphed over the zionist narrative despite all this destruction and blood.

    They will not be on our land for long, and every time our martyrs ascend, the signs of victory appear.

    They can cut all of the flowers, but spring will bloom again.
