    Naji Al Ali: Sunlight illuminates the prison cell where the good man is held. The letters in the matrix on the floor spell “Prison. Imprisonment. Homeland.”

    💠@ejmalrai:
    ⭕ The Ceasefire is respected in #Gaza, not in the West Bank: Israel understands only the language of power.
    Israel has failed in its announced objectives:
    1 Eradicate Hamas
    2 Unconditionally Liberate the captives.
    Reality: negotiate with Hamas and abide by its conditions [And what were the real objectives? Those remain on track for now…]
    ⭕ Israel is preventing Palestinians from crossing from the south of #Gaza to the north and opening fire against those insisting on crossing to check their relatives with whom all contacts have been cut in the last weeks. Trucks should be allowed in (part of the deal, but not yet) [this latter point is VIP! Truce terms include unhindered aid to ALL parts of Gaza. That they change this after the fact is intolerable and will be followed closely]
    ⭕ Retweet: Max Blumenthal: 800 German police officers in several cities raided the properties of Palestine solidarity activists, targeting the social media posts of members of @SamidounPP, a non-violent group which supports Palestinian political prisoners
    This is the same shining democracy that banned displays of the letter Z during the Ukraine proxy war
    ⭕ Germany is scared of the truth, behaving as the children killers in #Gaza, oppressing the freedom of speech. It is using force & intimidates all those who do not support Zionism-Nazism. Germany has a lot of experience in this kind of practice.
    ⭕ The Israeli occupation forces’ shape, deployment and position in north #Gaza indicates that the truce will not hold: either withdrawal from Gaza, which will not happen today, or continuing the battles, which is more likely.

    💠@Resistance News Network:
    ⭕ Statement by Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network on the 23 November 2023 raids in Germany; https://ift.tt/cF6MKgt
    ⭕ Munir Al-Barsh, Director-General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza: Occupation forces stormed the Indonesian hospital last night and opened fire in the area. They detonated the power generators at the Indonesian hospital and destroyed its gates.
    ⭕ Al-Mayadeen: A number of martyrs, including members of the medical teams, ascended in the “israeli” bombing that preceded the truce on Al-Najar Hospital.
    ⭕ 🚨 As the truce takes effect 49 days after the beginning of the aggression, streets in northern #Gaza are filling with dozens of Palestinian families returning to their homes. The IOF have been deploying tear gas and firing shots in various areas, particularly in the farthest northern regions where their forces are stationed. So far, no injuries have been reported.

    Despite the occupation’s attempts at repressing the displaced, the flood of returning people is ongoing.

    Ambulances have started departing via the Rafah land crossing to transfer the wounded for medical treatment outside the Gaza Strip. Recent reports confirm that fuel trucks have entered the crossing after weeks of siege. Additionally, trucks loaded with food and aid are also making their way in.

    The Spokesperson for the Gaza Crossings Authority noted:”The volume of trucks now entering is only one-fifth of the usual daily amount.” Amid the siege and destruction, the people of Gaza demonstrate once again that the occupation will neither intimidate them nor prevent their return to their cities and homes. |video|
    ⭕ 🚨 Footage documenting the very large destruction caused by the IOF yesterday night in the Indonesian Hospital, after the occupation bombed the hospital, detonated its generators and destroyed all the streets around it.

    Director-General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza Munir Al-Barsh stated that the occupation army stormed the Indonesian hospital, killed a woman, injured three, and arrested three others.

    Journalists at the scene say that the hospital is completely out of service. The Indonesian Hospital, like many others, has been subjected to direct and deliberate IOF targeting for weeks.

    A doctor in the hospital says: “I fulfilled my Oath. I didn’t let anyone feel pain, in the past three days. We mended wounds, we distributed food to the patients, we gave painkillers. We didn’t let anyone feel pain. But Alhamdulillah (praise be to God). Praise be to God until He is satisfied, praise be to God after He is satisfied, and praise be to God always and always.” |video|
    Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, commander Ziad al-Nakhaleh on the first day of the truce:

    Peace be upon the souls of our nation’s and people’s martyrs, upon our wounded, and the patient and enduring families who rely on God for our martyrs.

    The ceasefire enters its first day under the title of a four-day truce following a month of land aggression with American and European alliances and silence from other countries.

    More [IOF] aggression created more resistance that forced them to negotiate for the release of the civilian part of their prisoners held by the resistance.

    We are still committed to our stance that the remaining enemy prisoners, officers, and soldiers will not be released without the freedom of all our prisoners. This is linked to the end of the aggression and not before that under any circumstances.

    The truce is a clear admission of the enemy’s setback, forced due to its losses in the [battle] field and the stalling of its ground forces despite ground troops and aerial raids.

    With the resilience of our fighters in the field, we will later force the enemy into a major exchange operation that ensures the liberation of all our prisoners under the principle of “everyone for everyone.”

    This agreement —previously rejected by the enemy under the pretext of forcing the resistance to release their prisoners without conditions— was achieved.

    Despite its linguistic arrogance and crimes against civilians, we will force the enemy to rebuild and meet other political conditions that will open important prospects for our people and their freedom.

    The aggression was not just a response to the resistance’s act on October 7 but revealed the American President’s vision in linking the aggression with geopolitical arrangements in the Middle East.

    Our brothers in Hezbollah participating with us in the fighting from South Lebanon continuously, inflicting major losses on the enemy and forcing tens of thousands of settlers to leave.

    We praise our brothers in Iraq who are striking American bases, and also Yemen for its remarkable presence in actively participating in the defense of Palestine and its resistance.

    The zionist objectives set by the occupation since the beginning of the aggression are still in place, and therefore we must continue fighting to break the aggression and its objectives.

    We must continue fighting because the enemy will not stop its aggression after the days of calm, and it is expected to be more bloody and criminal.

    To those talking about ruling over Gaza, stop your chatter and turn to defending your people as this is the path to freedom, not alignment with the enemies.

    I affirm that we will not break or surrender. We will fight and continue to fight, and this choice is now more important than ever. After all these sacrifices, our people confirm that they represent the will of all the free people in the world. [it appears the honor of the Palestinians to drive the stake through the heart of this evil Last Empire. Not Russia, Iran or China. Those they completely overlooked. The ones to cost them all the moral ground, the decisive plank of War]
    ⭕ 🚨Before withdrawing, the occupation detonated facilities of Al-Shifa Hospital, including power generators, oxygen pumps, and radiology equipment, according to Al-Jazeera. There are appeals to transfer the remaining wounded and injured in the hospital to other hospitals.

    In Al-Ahli (Baptist) Hospital, 70 wounded and sick are being transported by the Red Crescent to the southern Strip.  [no modern hospitals and western-style medicine will be available in Gaza for some time; until Zionism has been eradicated in West Asia. But Palestinians are resourceful. They will return to herbal and ancient alternative medicine]
    ⭕ The IOF fires tear gas at journalists and residents in front of “Ofer” prison waiting to receive the 39 women and children prisoners that will be freed today. |video| [what a vile people, without a shred of dignity or human compassion. The malice inherent in these futile actions, to deny happiness to families being reunited after cruel years… These are the West’s closest allies in the world….]

    Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on the solution for Palestine: ‘We are ready for the state of Palestine to be demilitarized and for there to be guarantees for this, in the form of NATO forces, UN forces, Arab forces, American forces. Whatever you want.’ [crazed tone-deaf compradores coming out of their closets! “A change of elites is coming” — tic-tic-tic]
    ⭕ Absolutely disgusting traitors. No other words for this. A stab in the back of the Islamic and Arab world.

    ⭕ US, British, Australian and Canadian soldiers within Israeli forces in Gaza.
    This unauthenticated video shows a soldier giving a motivational speech in English to other English-speaking soldiers within the Israeli army. |video|
    ⭕ This puppet called Abdelfattah Al-Sissi, president of the Arab Republic of Egypt, is no longer hiding. He talks about a disarmed Palestinian state and the possible deployment of NATO forces, Arab forces, etc. The Arabs Zionists are more zealous than the Zionists themselves
    ⭕ Gaza: The road adjacent to the sea is very dangerous since Israeli tanks opened fire with coaxial machine guns on Palestinian civilians trying to return to their homes [in the north] or what remains of them.
    ⭕ What remains of the Carrefour shopping center in Tel Al-Hawa, Gaza.


    💠@MedManTG:
    ⭕ Israeli aviation is now carrying the Palestinian prisoners and are moving to a southerly direction.
    ⭕ As an Egyptian, I have to say that I am simply disappointed by the comments of the President on this situation.

    The Egyptian political stance has not changed since 1973, that is, there must be a Palestinian state established on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, Sadat has said the same thing and he told the Palestinians to come with him to Milton House and that he guarantees that Palestine would have become a nation-state just the next day, but they refused, and now I had to see a 15-minute interview of the former Palestinian ambassador to Egypt cry about such a wasted opportunity, Mubarak told them in private that Oslo is a waste of time, but no one bothered to listen to them, and now every peace deal is becoming less and less more viable than the last one, but never has an Egyptian President released such a statement that we would allow non-UN troops to occupy land.

    What confuses me is that over 8 days ago, the Egyptian government released an official statement saying that we can not partake or allow in the foreign military occupation of the Gaza Strip – Turkey said it would agree to it for example -, and now, we are walking back and saying that any armed force can be sanctioned, to me, there are only two possible explanations.

    1) The pressure has been enough, and we cracked ( but if thats the case, why are we still not going to allow a massive eviction from the Gaza Strip? It would have been better if we just took the debt deal.)

    2) The President is using the same tactic he used when he told the Israelis “You can deport them to the Negev desert”, he actually did not literally mean this – I watched the whole interview – it was more the usual bait style, as in, he gave another “proposed solution” knowing that Israel would not accept, and thus embarrass it in the international stage, think about the Austro-Hungarian demands of Serbia in 1914, where the Austrians drew up the deal, quite literally, to fail.

    Either way, such defeatist language was not necessary.

    No.1 makes no sense because then, we would not have refused the debt deal, Bloomberg and the WSJ also confirmed that the government said it will not partake in any occupation, while No.2 also does not make sense simply because of the way it was said, overall, I know nothing and I am just a complete random on the street. [he is still young.. in his early 30s?? Give him time to wizen up]

    💠@Yeni Şafak in Russian:
    Palestinian Turkmens participate in the war with Israel. Pay attention to the photo of one of the fighters, on his bulletproof vest it is written “What a blessing to be a Turk!” Previously, it was stated that Palestinian Turkmen or Palestinian Turks as they are called in Palestine are fighting on the side of their Palestinian brothers. There are already three martyrs among the Palestinian Turkmens.
    ✍️ Let us recall that in Palestine there are Turkmen villages, as an example in Nahal Oz; Palestinians call them Palestinian Turks; they have lived in this region for a long time since the times of the Ottoman Empire. These are families of former OI soldiers who remained to live in Palestine after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. [the Zionists literally sow Dragon’s teeth every day. The Holy Land they assault is populated by ALL of humanity, who came over the millennia in devotion and service. BILLIONS will defend and send support to their kin being currently massacred by a small crazed satanic sect.]
    ⭕ ❌✈️🇺🇸 United Airlines has suspended pilot Ibrahim Mosallam, who shared a post on social media with a message of support for Palestine and participated in demonstrations in support of Palestine.
    ⭕ Israeli newspaper The Marker : The US has stopped transferring infantry rifles to Israel
    🔹The US State Department stopped the delivery of 4 thousand 500 M-16 infantry rifles that were planned to be sent to Israel.
    🔹The Joe Biden administration is concerned about the policy of Israeli right-wing Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir to arm Jewish settlers.
    🔹Let us recall that armed Jewish settlements have repeatedly attacked Palestinian settlements [in the West Bank], killing quite a few Palestinian civilians. The Israeli authorities often turn a blind eye to these horrific acts… [this is stoppage of US arms is likely a lie, to whitewash US crimes. USUK is fully behind the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, to help secure their proxy’s sole possession of the tiny Holy Land. They remain afraid of global anti-zionist opinion. They will continue to lie about their complicity in crimes]
    A comic book about the representative of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubeida, will be published in Turkey.
    🔹The comic written by Mustafa Uzun will tell children about the importance of fighting injustice.
    🔹It will be published in 7 languages: Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, English, Swahili, Malay and Amharic. [the Turks have benefited the Resistance in at least three huge ways: (1) Massive protests bolstering morale of Resistance and keeping fire to their elites’ feet, (2) They are global leaders in boycotting every Transnational Corp supporting zionist genocide, (3) Their 24/7 media assault exposes the cancerous zionist war crimes and helps demolish their false-built image worldwide. Well done!]
    ⭕ In the Gaza Strip, after the temporary ceasefire came into force, the Israeli army distributed leaflets by air with a “warning” to the residents of the Gaza Strip
    🔹The war is not over yet. Don’t think about going from south to north.
    🔹The northern regions are a dangerous war zone, you are putting yourself and your loved ones in danger.
    🔹Returning to the north from the south is prohibited.
    ⭕ Israel opened fire on civilians in the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, only four hours have passed since the start of the truce – media
    🔹According to Al Jazeera, people tried to return to the north of the Gaza Strip, 7 Palestinians were injured.
    🔹Social networks report that 2 Palestinians were killed and 6 were injured after the start of the “truce.”
    🔹Earlier, the IDF dropped leaflets from airplanes on the Gaza Strip demanding that the civilian population of Gaza not return to the north of the Gaza Strip.
    🔹Social networks, citing sources in Gaza, previously reported that the IDF violated the ceasefire agreement: in particular, Israeli tanks fired at areas east of Khan Yunus and Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip. The IDF has not yet commented on this information.
    🔹Moreover, as DW reports, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that during the truce, Israeli troops should prepare for new battles and replenish weapons, and military operations in the Gaza Strip after that will last at least another two months.
    🔹IDF spokesman Brigadier General Daniel Hagari said that establishing control over the northern part of the Gaza Strip is only the first stage of long-term hostilities, DW writes.
    ⭕ Gaza Now reports that dozens of bodies have been found since the 4-day truce came into effect: “There are dozens of dead whose bodies are almost decomposed on Salah ad-Din Street and al-Bahr Street near Madinat al-Zahra in the central and the eastern part of the Gaza Strip.” [remember thousands remained entombed within and under the rubble. Do they have enough time to extract them in mere four days?? Doubtful. Such work would take weeks given scale of carnage and shortage of heavy equipment]
    ⭕ [Kazakh Prez] Tokayev: “It is impossible to put up with the situation in Palestine”
    President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted at the CSTO summit in Minsk that the event was taking place in very difficult conditions of the rapidly increasing degradation of the international situation. He also noted that developments in the Middle East are of particular concern. |video|

    Truce is holding for now. Thankfully, aid trucks started entering Gaza! There was the first recorded violation of the truce today..

    💠 @Hamas/Tsahal:
    ⭕ The partial ceasefire between Hamas and the IDF has just come into effect and is expected to last 4 days initially. During the truce, 130,000 liters of fuel and 200 aid trucks are expected to enter the Gaza Strip daily. [all aid is woefully inadequate after 1.5 months’ barbaric siege. The Jordanian FM said they really need at least 800 trucks daily to compensate]

    💠@Strategika51:
    ⭕ Four-day truce in Gaza. Some violations on the Israeli side after crowds of Palestinians moved from the South to the North to return home. Withdrawal of Israeli tanks.

    Dear Emerson, regarding our moment reviewing Leningrad. On the 22nd of each November, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs commemorates the first supply lines reaching Leningrad over the frozen Ladoga Lake. This may have preserved Putin’s mother, allowing him to be born some years later. There are so many parallels between Russians and Palestinians.. the ultimate survivors and eternal enemies of the combined West. Both will outlast and triumph over their tormentors.

    🗓 On November 22, 1941, the first supply lorries drove across the ice of Ladoga Lake into besieged Leningrad. The 30 km-long route became known as the Road of Life — the only transport route linking the northern capital with the mainland during the Siege.

    Over 2.5 million people, including 400,000 children, still remained in Leningrad on September 8, 1941, when the Nazis besieged it and thousands of people were dying of hunger daily before the Road of Life became operational.

    🌾 During the first relief trip 60 of the legendary GAZ-AA “polutorka” lorries delivered 70 tonnes of flour to the people of Leningrad. Despite extremely bad weather conditions and constant Nazi shelling and bombing, the participants in the operation ensured the uninterrupted functioning of the transport route, making up to 3 trips per day to deliver the food to the residents of Leningrad.

    🕯 To give you the scale of the operation: 300,000+ people were involved in the servicing and using the ice route. Nobody knows the exact number of people who gave their lives on the ice of Lake Ladoga. They were drivers, antiaircraft gunners, repairmen & traffic regulators.

    💬 Driver of the 804th auto base on the Road of Life, Leonid Barkovich:
    Each of us wanted to avoid an enemy shell but everyone knew that death alone would prevent us from doing our duty and carrying out orders.

    Overall, more than 1.6 million tonnes of cargo were delivered to the besieged city and 1.376 million people were evacuated by the end of the Road of Life’s operation in the spring of 1943. Combat hardware produced by Leningrad plants were carried in the opposite direction. This included KV tanks that were critical for the front and were manufactured only in Leningrad at that time.

    Owing to the incredible efforts of drivers, freight handlers, engineers and auto mechanics, tens of thousands of people in Leningrad were saved from starvation. The delivered relief allowed them to survive the most horrible days of winter in the besieged city.

    #Victory78 #WeRemember

    ZZzzzzzzzz……………

    btw, Ladoga Lake is playing a role today too in preparations against the same combined West. I think I mentioned something last week or before, from Nat South’s channel, about plans to move there small missile corvettes and other naval platforms as the Baltic front becomes activated. Another chapter in the eternal defense against the western crusades

    ⭕ Militarily speaking, #Israel will move from an attack position to a defensive position, exposing the Israeli Occupation Forces to significant casualties, like in this picture where soldiers are attacked from 0 distance, and they were fired at.
    ⭕ As a journalist with decades of experience in war zones, I have one significant advantage over tens of thousands of my colleagues: I don’t work for a mainstream media outlet, am unafraid to share my reality and am not afraid of #Israel’s lobbies.
    As long as #Israel respects the ceasefire, #Lebanon, #Iraq and #Yemen will abide by what the Palestinians agree to do. If Israel breaks the agreement, the other supportive fronts will regain their support for #Gaza.
    ⭕ Remember:
    In 2014, #Israel killed more Palestinian civilians than in any other year since the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip began in 1967, a UN report has said. It resulted in the deaths of 2,314 Palestinians (of whom 1,492 were children and women, 605 militants and 123 unverified) and 17,125 injuries, compared with 39 deaths and 3,964 injuries in 2013, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). About 500,000 Palestinians were internally displaced at the height of the conflict. About 100,000 remain so. |THREAD|
    ⭕ As far as we know, there will be two 4-day ceasefires to start with in #Gaza. Could be extended but should be tested first.
    ⭕ Israel delivered 111 bodies of Palestinians it had exhumed their graves and pulled the bodies in front of Al-Shifa Hospital, north of #Gaza. Only the “unique democratic country” in the Middle East can do such a practice. 1st holdback bodies and later return them as “goodwill“.
    Iraq Resistance groups used a ballistic missile for the 1st time against the #US military base in Ayn Al-Assad, a gradual escalation if #Israel continues killing civilians in #Gaza.
    #Yemen Ansar Allah launched a ballistic missile against Israeli-controlled territories
    ⭕ What the war on #Gaza has done to #Israel: the credit of the Holocaust card has been exhausted, not by the passage of time. It has no more credit after what the Israelis hv done to Palestinian civilians, calling for their extermination, usage of atomic bombs & dehumanising them
    ⭕ If the phrase “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea” is no longer legally available because #Israel fears a Palestinian flag or even a phrase, would it be illegal to say “Palestine free from the river to the sea”? Could it work legally? Asking.

    ⭕ In fact, just before #Israel’s war on #Gaza in 2014, #Hamas had only 20% of the number of militants it had before the war on #Gaza began in 2023.

    ⭕ In fact, you r a copy-paste of the Islamic State, ISIS, with superior means & influence. U terrorise people, media & politicians when they question your killing of innocent people. ISIS spoke in the name of Islam, just as u speak in the name of Judaism. 2 sides of the same coin.
    ⭕ Tomorrow at 07:00 am local time, the ceasefire/truce is expected to begin. It is also likely to see an intensive escalation of military activities on all fronts until the last minute in #Gaza, #Lebanon, #Yemen and #Iraq.
    ⭕ Israel provided the names of the children and women to be released as of Friday. It was agreed that if children and women were members of the same family, they would be given priority for release..
    ⭕ In the last 40 days, #Israeli occupation forces have arrested over 3500 Palestinians in West Bank Palestine, 1400 of them under administrative detention, which means no trial, no charge and no trial
    ⭕ No harm: All Palestinian civilians will be released the day #Israel is ready to exchange the Israeli Occupation Forces prisoners, including 4 Generals, taken on the 7th of October. Time is not pressing on #Hamas, but it is on @Netanyahu.

    UEFA fines Celtic for fans carrying Palestinian flags

    Europe’s top soccer body UEFA said it had fined Celtic a total of 29,000 euros ($31,582) for a number of incidents during their Champions League group stage match against Atletico Madrid, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

    💸 The Scottish club was ordered to pay €17,500 for displaying a “provocative message of an offensive nature” , €8,000 for fans blocking public passages and €3,500 for setting off fireworks.

    UEFA also fined Spanish club Atlético Madrid €3,000 for allowing fans to set off fireworks, as well as warning them for “inappropriate team conduct” in the same match.

    ❕ The Green Brigade fans, who were banned from away matches by the Scottish club in October, remain persistent in showing their support for Palestine by flying flags at several matches.
    ⭕ Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip has been ongoing for 48 days. As a result of Israeli strikes, more than 45 thousand houses were destroyed in the enclave.

    Islamic conference without Muslim speakers

    The German Ministry of the Interior organized an Islamic conference without Muslim speakers or guests.

    🎭 At the conference where Hamas was condemned, Muslims were called on to support Israel, which has killed thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip, and to fight anti-Semitism.

    The German Central Council of Muslims was not invited on the grounds that it had not openly condemned the Hamas attack on Israel. The Islamic Council of Germany criticized the German authorities. Council President Burhan Keshici stated:

    “ As far as we can see, an event dedicated to Muslims is being organized and none of the major Muslim associations are on the platform or involved in the preparations. Do you think that after this, local Muslims will listen to you? ”

    Iraqis have moved to storming US bases…..

    💠@Fotros Resistance:
    ⭕ 🛑 In a significant military development, the victorious forces of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq attempted to storm the outskirts of the US Ain al-Assad base under heavy cover of mortar shells & 7-RPG rockets.

    The operation resulted in the martyrdom of a member of the resistance, while the American losses are not clear yet. [this is the huge base in Al Anbar province, largest in Iraq, and the same one missiled by Iran right after General Soleimani’s murder]
    ⭕ 🛑| 🇮🇶Islamic Resistance in Iraq announces: The targeting of 2 US bases in 4 attacks. 2 of these attacks targeted the “Ain al-Assad” base & others targeted a base near Erbil airport in northern Iraq, during various times of the day, using suicide drones. The targets were hit directly.

    💠Excerpt from this Ishchenko article.

    “… We have three crises in which the United States is struggling to restore its hegemony: the Ukraine crisis, the Taiwan crisis, and the Middle East crisis.

    In the Middle East, the United States is in the most disastrous situation. Their plan for a final reconciliation between Israel and the Arab regimes, with the US as the sole mediator, was thwarted by Hamas. All attempts by Washington to force the parties to return to the situation on October 6 of this year (before the Hamas attack) failed. But Israel’s attempt to “roughly punish” the Palestinians also failed.

    The IDF suffers too high losses (especially in armored vehicles), while its success is rather modest — for a month the army failed to establish even formal control over the territory of the Gaza Strip. At the same time, it should be understood that in the current reality, formal control over Gaza does not mean the defeat of Hamas. Its activity may decrease or stop for a while, but regrouping (in the territories of neighboring Arab states) and increasing its numbers at the expense of Palestinians who lost their loved ones, housing and livelihoods under Israeli bombardment, it will again start attacking Israeli territory.

    In the north, Hezbollah attacks from Syria and Lebanon are generally inaccessible to Israel. It can launch separate artillery, air and rocket attacks on neighboring countries, but it cannot launch a ground operation (although it threatens to deal with Hezbollah after Hamas). An attempted land invasion of Syria and Lebanon will trigger a large-scale conflict involving many countries (both related to this region and global players). Given the intensity of Israel’s struggle with Hamas, Tel Aviv cannot win a large-scale conflict.

    Even now, just a month after the crisis began, the shekel and Israeli company stocks are steadily falling, the economy is creeping into crisis, about a million people have been forced to leave their homes, about half a million have left Israel, and about half a million more have joined the army and other security agencies. Israel is a small country with a limited demographic resource and a fragile economy. His bet on the “blitzkrieg” in all wars was forced: Israel could not fight for a long time, it was definitely losing the war of attrition. Now it is involved in a war that cannot be ended, because it cannot occupy the enemy’s territory (it is all over the Middle East), it cannot take its capital (there is no capital), it cannot destroy the state infrastructure (there is no state), it cannot defeat the army (there is no army, and the losses of militants are more than compensated by attracting in the ranks of organizations of destitute Palestinians waging war with Israel).

    The United States cannot ensure peace in the interests of its ally and cannot completely end the war, which also kills its soldiers who come under fire at their bases. The struggle in the Middle East did not begin on October 6, or even with an attempt to overthrow the government in Syria. The United States began to escalate the situation, with the aim of occupying a dominant position in the region even before the collapse of the USSR. It won’t end tomorrow, either. It will be a long fight. But the US and Israel have already lost it. Moreover, if Israel can still be saved by refusing to cooperate with the United States and turning to Russia, China and Turkey for mediation, then Washington has no chance at all — America will be squeezed out of the Middle East as reliably as the United States once squeezed Great Britain and France out of the region.

    This crisis is lost, and Washington should use the remaining years before the final catastrophe to try to save face and leave the region with dignity, and not as the Americans fled from Afghanistan.

    The Taiwan crisis also does not bode well for the United States…”

    Thank YOU dear emerson. Your measured perspective always sooths. Yes, patience and faith require courage — the real profiles in courage. It is easy to indulge in despair and anger, lash out, and lose all; easy to be degenerate too.

    It may be worse than Stalingrad, which affected largely combatants?? Putin drew the proper analogy: it reminded him of the Siege of Leningrad where over 1.5 million died, mostly civilians starved to death..

    This from Wiki (!): “…The Germans planned on lack of food being their chief weapon against the citizens; German scientists had calculated the city would reach starvation after only a few weeks… On 21 September 1941, German High Command considered how to destroy Leningrad. Occupying the city was ruled out “because it would make us responsible for food supply”.[44] The resolution was to lay the city under siege and bombardment, starving its population. “Early next year, we [will] enter the city (if the Finns do it first we do not object), lead those still alive into inner Russia or into captivity, wipe Leningrad from the face of the earth through demolitions, and hand the area north of the Neva to the Finns… some historians speak of the siege operations in terms of genocide, as a “racially motivated starvation policy” that became an integral part of the unprecedented German war of extermination against populations of the Soviet Union generally.[78][79]” and so on.

    Are we not seeing the SAME policy in motion in Gaza? Liters of fuel being doled. No food or water in, even fishing boats blasted into firewood. All life-supporting systems ironed. Some have already starved to death in north Gaza….

    btw, this talk about Siege of Leningrad by VVP is not idle. This is what Putin said happened to his own family at that time:
    “The two-year, four-month Siege of Leningrad saw water and power supplies cut off and an unprecedented surge of disease as a Nazi Germany blockade had stopped essential humanitarian supplies to the city. Putin also recounted how his two-year-old brother Viktor died from diphtheria and STARVATION following months of a violent war.” all that happened AS they were being bombed into rubble. Nothing new under the sun..

    Gaza has been under Siege for 15 years now…

    It’s OK Sudhi, I saw it too, following his Disqus daily (sometimes before Telegram!).

    He has a dry and sparse way of speaking which can appear haughty or dismissive to those who do not know him, but that is just his style, lol. The first time I ever had interaction with him was DEFENDING him on the Saker site, precisely to say that — he is not being arrogant. He is the anti-AHH, with admirable brevity.. the one time I achieved that was writing poetry…

    I didn’t see his words as insulting at all. He has been consistent and said the same for years: he prefers primary sources and comes to his own conclusions. I think Larch is around 900 years-old (an Eternal?), so he is entitled! Massive mind and good judgment after a fruitful life spent learning well. Most can’t do it. He can.

    He is also right my torrent of info lacks structure. I never claimed it did nor set out to do so. My intent was to share valuable stuff from all over, and trust you to sift through it. Every now and then I add commentary, but the goal is to Witness the Genocide. Once in a while I attempt to summarize, but that is not the objective. I trust you all are mature enough to connect the dots and see the patterns. I often bold what I see as VIP too..

    And a week ago or so, Larch advertised for this very thread on Smoothie’s blog at least once. I think he and many (most?) have grown tired of the sheer volume, and that’s understandable. Most have their own lives, crises if living in Zone A, there’s still the Ukraine, and now another West Asia black-hole. It’s getting too much bad news!

    It is personal for me, for many reasons, loving the people of the region, having a Yemeni wife, spiritually part of the Resistance for decades… So Larch is OK in my book. Don’t be mad friend. Old men getting cortisone shots in their joints are entitled to be grouchy too!

    • One of our fighters attacked 8 soldiers east of Rantisi Hospital, causing fatalities & injuries.

    • Yesterday, our fighters rigged & detonated a tunnel entrance, causing a powerful explosion targeting the IOF. Following that, a soldier was sniped & killed.

    • The heroics of our fighters on the battlefield are a source of pride for every free person in the world, and we face a brutal, oppressive force.

    • We thwarted the enemy’s plan to achieve a rapid victory in Gaza, and our fighters stand firm in their positions.

    • The fearful enemy leadership decided to place its soldiers in the heart of the inferno in Gaza.

    💠 @Resistance News Network:
    ⭕ 🚨 Palestinian Ministry of Health statement regarding the arrest of medical staff by occupation forces:

    We were informed by the United Nations of coordination through the World Health Organization for evacuating those present in Al-Shifa Medical Complex, which is under siege by occupation forces, and suffering from invasions, destruction, and deprivation of food, water, medicine, electricity, and security.

    Based on this, a United Nations convoy, represented by the World Health Organization, moved yesterday to evacuate some of the patients and medical staff who were subjected to the worst Nazi practices and starvation within the hospital walls.

    We were surprised that this convoy was stopped at the occupation checkpoint separating north and south Gaza Strip for about seven hours. During this time, the occupation forces dealt violently with the patients, those accompanying them, and the accompanying medical staff.

    The situation ended with the arrest of several individuals, including the Director-General of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya.

    We affirm that the presence of the United Nations and its staff and leaving under its flag misled our medical teams and made them trust the coordination for evacuating the wounded and medical staff.

    The occupation bears full responsibility for the lives and safety of the detained colleagues.

    The United Nations bears full responsibility for this event, and we await appropriate and urgent actions from them to address this.

    Until now, the World Health Organization has not provided any report to the Ministry explaining what happened, including the numbers and names of the detainees.

    The inability to communicate with Al-Shifa Medical Complex has left us unable to determine who was arrested in the absence of any report from the World Health Organization about their number and names, increasing the risk of these staff being executed, especially with such a criminal enemy.

    The Ministry of Health decides to completely stop coordinating with the World Health Organization on the evacuation of the remaining wounded and medical staff until a report is presented explaining what happened and the detainees are released. [The criminal WHO shows its true colors, as during COVID-19. No surprises about the UN.]
    ⭕ 🟢 Hamas:

    In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,

    We strongly condemn the arrest of the director of Al-Shifa Hospital and his colleagues, the doctors. We call on the Red Cross and international organizations to work immediately for their release.

    We vehemently condemn the Nazi occupation’s arrest of Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, the director of Al-Shifa Hospital, and a number of medical staff who remained in the hospital to facilitate the evacuation of the remaining patients and wounded. We consider it a despicable and vile act that could only come from a party devoid of all senses of humanity and ethics. This act is also a crime and a blatant violation of international conventions that guarantee the safety of medical personnel at all times, including during wars.

    We demand international entities, including the International Committee of the Red Cross and the World Health Organization, with whom Dr. Abu Salmiya was in contact for the evacuation of the remaining patients and wounded in Al-Shifa Hospital, to pressure the occupying army to secure the release of him and all the medical staff who were arrested merely for staying to perform their duty and in respect of the honor of the medical profession.

The label of “child-killers” has been thoroughly well-earned by the IOF, and it is delightful that the resistance is making them pay the price for it. [This is an indictment on this entire criminal enterprise that rushes towards children to kill!!]
    ⭕ 🚨 Islamic Resistance in Lebanon:
    After carefully monitoring the entry of four IOF soldiers into a house in the Al-Manara settlement, the warriors of the Islamic Resistance hit them with specialized guided missiles. The house collapsed on top of them and all of them were killed.
    ⭕ 🚨 The Qatari foreign ministry officially announces that the truce will begin tomorrow at 7AM.
    The first exchange of prisoners will take place at 4PM the same day.

    💠 @MedManTG:
    3,000 Palestinians have been arrested since the 7th of October by Israeli authorities.
    Hezbollah has, so far, as of 5:12 PM, committed over 20 “operations” against the IDF this day alone, thus being the most recorded engagements in a day so far since the 7th of October.

    This comes after the son of the Hezbollah parliamentary block in Lebanon has been assassinated by the IDF earlier today.

    💠 @Intel Republic:
    ⭕ A TASTE OF THEIR POWER: Photos above show before-and-after effect of destroyed Israeli base by Hezbollah with latest anti-tank guided missile at Israel’s Metulla settlement – one of 23 attacks by Lebanese resistance group today on Israeli military sites.

    The attack killed 4 Israeli soldiers.

    💠 @Fotros Resistance:
    ⭕ Islamic Resistance in Iraq published a poster which looks like a drone, captioned with:

    “Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed all bounds”
    (Quran 79:17)

    ⭕ Statement issued by Hamas:

    • Truce will start on Friday at 7:00AM
    • The truce will last for 4 days,
    • Cessation of all military actions by the Al-Qassam, the Palestinian resistance, and the Zionist enemy throughout the truce period.
    • Cessation of aircraft activity in southern Gaza Strip.
    • No aircraft activity for 6 hours/day (10:00-16:00) in Gaza City & the north
    • 3 Palestinian prisoners released for every 1 israeli prisoner.
    • Within 4 days, 50 israeli prisoners, women & children under the age of 19, will be released.
    • Entry of 200 aid trucks & medical supplies per day to all areas of the Gaza Strip.
    • Entry of 4 trucks of fuel and cooking gas per day to all areas of the Gaza Strip.
    ⭕ On the eve of the ceasefire agreement, Hezbollah is destroying the Zionist enemy positions in northern occupied Palestine with Burkan, Dehlavieh, Kornet, artillery, and suicide drones.

    As of the moment of writing this, there is fire burning in the enemy positions.
    ⭕ A security source: We believe that medium-range ballistic missiles will be launched towards the American occupation bases in Iraq. Based on an analysis of the sounds that were heard shortly before from one of the launching points.

    Lebanon’s economy affected by Israel shelling with white phosphorus, says agriculture minister. 💬 “Since October 8 to the present moment, Israel has been carrying out brutal strikes on Lebanese territory with the use of internationally banned white phosphorus, which has a direct impact on the Lebanese economy […] The losses are huge!” Lebanese Agriculture Minister Abbas Al Hajj Hassan told Sputnik on Wednesday. [what will the region do about a rabid beast that is a permanent plague on them, generation after generation, and with which there is no reasoning?? One guess]

    💠@Arab_Africa:
    ⭕ Not only Algeria, but also Morocco is seeking to reduce its dependence on grain supplies from France by turning its attention to Russian suppliers.

    Moroccan importers, however, in order to increase imports from the Russian Federation, called on Russia to reduce the cost of wheat, emphasizing that French prices are still “considered the most suitable” for the Kingdom. According to local media, they announced this during a meeting with the Russian consul in Casablanca. Another condition they set was that Russia must insure ships until they leave the Bosphorus Strait “in order to avoid any accidents.” Moroccan importers reported that most insurance companies are “evading” responsibility for shipments coming from Russia or Ukraine.

    The meeting with the consul was held to discuss increasing the pace of cooperation and trade exchanges between the two countries. It is noteworthy that Morocco has imported about 300 thousand tons of wheat from the Russian Federation since September.
    [this appears a trend now. Bolsen and G Nixon are correct in this respect: there is a seismic move to boycott all things western in the region. The repercussions will collapse smaller European economies dependent on exports (dairy from Denmark, etc.) Even the GCC and compradores like Morocco are forced into these minimal moves to appease their boiling populations.. And these moves precede Gaza. I talked in Lineaments of Russian outreach to Morocco to extract them from western stables]

    💠@MedManTG:
    ⭕ Hamas refuses any Red Crescent inspections on Israeli prisoners, states that it will not hand over the Israeli prisoners to any international organization, and will only hand off the Israelis to Egyptian authorities, according to the WSJ. [good move. They could harm or otherwise negatively influence them, for PR purposes. What is really being buried in the rubble of Gaza is the post-WW2 Atlantic Alliance Order.. most NGOs will cease to exist shortly, bereft of dwindling corrupt financing and unwelcome in the civilized Global South world]

    💠@Strategika51:
    Still no truce in Gaza. Initially scheduled for today before being postponed to tomorrow Friday without any insurance.
    🔹Yesterday night was extremely violent since the Israeli bombings seem to have increased in intensity.
    🔹Israeli extremists view the truce as a defeat and are now openly threatening the families of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Either they keep silent or they will be subject to reprisals.
    🔹The director of Al-Shifa Hospital, whose figure has become well-known in the media around the world, was kidnapped by the Israeli army.
    🔹On the ground, Israeli tanks appear to have retreated west of Beit Hanoun while violent street fighting continues in Hajr Eddik in the east of the Gaza Strip.
    🔹Israeli forces plant Israeli flags on mounds of ruins but their infantry never ventures beyond areas completely razed by air force and artillery.
    ⭕ The Israeli government threatens to cut off all financial aid to Yediot Ahranot and Haaretz for publishing defeatist articles and undermining army morale. This threat comes after these newspapers began to publish an initial assessment of Israeli military losses completely different from that of military censorship.

    💠@Slavyangrad:
    ⭕ Occupation aircraft targeted the Charitable Society building behind Kuwait Hospital in Rafah [this is in south Gaza 3km from the Egyptian border.. no safe areas whatsoever for humans in Gaza]
    ⭕ Russian Permanent Representative Nebenzya at the UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East: The worst predictions of disasters of literally biblical proportions, which the Palestinians are facing before our eyes, are coming true. And with all this, Israel is depriving the international community, including Russia, of the opportunity to provide the necessary humanitarian assistance to the Gazans. The Strip remains cut off from a steady and sufficient supply of water, food, medicines and fuel, which Israel allowed to be imported on a rationed basis only a month after the blockade was imposed.
    Nebenzya: I would particularly like to emphasize the inadmissibility of denying humanitarian access to affected children, which is an absolute priority in the appalling conditions in Gaza. As a result, more children have died in Gaza in one month than in all conflicts over the past few years. Every day dozens, if not hundreds, of children are killed and maimed in Gaza. Three children have been killed by Israeli shelling in southern Lebanon. This is about the right to life of Palestinian children. It is our common task to save those lives. The Secretary-General’s sobering words that Gaza has become a graveyard for children came almost three weeks ago. But children continue to die. We ask the Secretary-General and his Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict to keep the situation in Gaza under special review and to keep the Security Council informed of the measures being taken. [the UN is buried too]
    UN Under-Secretary-General for Women Sima Sami Bacchus on the humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip: Women and girls pay the highest price for conflict. Until October 7, 60% of all civilians killed in the occupied Palestinian territory over the past 15 years were men. And less than 14% were women and girls. Since then, that ratio has changed. Not only are the number of civilians killed since October 7 twice as many as in the last 15 years combined, now 67% of the more than 14,000 people killed in Gaza are estimated to be women and children. In other words, two mothers are killed every hour and seven women are killed every two hours. We mourn for them.  [the zionists were frank and upfront. This is the result of biblical eradication of those humans with uteri and the next generation. To uproot and end them in toto. Like the women and children of Amalek… Then Palestinian men can be hunted at leisure, without ability to replenish ranks or regenerate… so they plan anyway]
    North Korea is completely withdrawing from the 2018 inter-Korean military agreement. All military activities that have been suspended will be resumed immediately.
    ⚫️ North Korea will also send additional forces and new military equipment to the demilitarized zone.
    Zin Note: How many fronts do we have ready for WW3 now?
    Qatari Foreign Ministry:
    The first batch of civilian hostages, numbering 13 women and children, will be handed over at around 4:00 pm tomorrow, Friday.
    – A complete ceasefire was agreed upon during the period of the humanitarian truce in Gaza, and we hope that there will be no violations
    ⭕ The British BBC has omitted the term “Palestinian children” in its coverage
    A correspondent utilized the expression “teenage males” when discussing prisoner exchanges on both sides.
    How can one refer to Palestinian children without explicitly stating they are children?
    Norway is not dismissing the possibility of closing its border with Russia, as stated by Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
    He addressed the potential for solidarity actions akin to Finland, which is closing all but one checkpoint on its border with Russia on November 24.
    Støre mentioned that authorities are closely monitoring the situations in Finland and Estonia, but there are currently no prerequisites for taking such a step. There are no issues regarding the influx of refugees on the border with Russia.
    [movements and preparations continue unabated for world war footing on both sides. There is no prospect of a durable ceasefire in Gaza. The zionazi neocons remain firmly in charge of the West]
    ⭕ The channel of Evgeny Prigozhin has added a second post since its long hiatus.
    “The fighters of the Wagner PMC are moving forward, alive and dead.”

    Good morning @ Cairo
    💠@Arab_Africa:
    Algeria abandons the French and turns to Russia.

    Algeria’s purchases of Russian wheat nearly quadrupled to 1.3 million tons, up from 330,000 tons the previous year. This is not the first time Algeria has changed the rules of the game: in 2020, the government changed the specifications for grain crops, thereby opening the way for Russian wheat to enter its market from 2021.

    France, which once dominated traditional wheat markets in North Africa, faces stiff competition from Russia. The decline in French wheat exports to Algeria reaches 85% compared to the previous year.

    Russia is the world’s leading wheat exporter, benefiting from exceptional harvests and competitive prices, accounting for a quarter of global wheat exports with significant reserves.

    Algeria is one of the world’s largest importers of wheat. International purchases of wheat are about 8 million tons per year, and consumption reaches about 11 million tons. [the transition from West began after the 2011 satanic “Arab Spring” and unleashing terrorism in the Sahel. It now accelerates with the 404-SMO and genociding of Palestinians]

    💠@Africa Intel:
    ⭕ “France is in no way being driven out of Africa,” pleaded Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade, Economic Attractiveness and French Nationals Abroad Olivier Becht ahead of a trip to Nigeria, calling on French companies to continue and step up their investments on the continent.

    “Contrary to what some media outlets, and social networks in particular, are saying, France is absolutely not being driven out of Africa, and we’re not in decline at all,” Becht assured.

    “French companies must continue to be present and invest on the continent,” he maintained. “It’s good for the African continent, for African countries, and above all it’s good for the French economy.” Olivier Becht will take part in the signing of “several contracts” during his two-day trip to Nigeria, accompanied by a dozen SMEs.

    Enes al-Sharif, one of the few journalists broadcasting from northern Gaza, said that Israel threatens him :
    🔹Since this morning I have been receiving threatening messages in which I am ordered to stop broadcasting and move to the south of Gaza.
    🔹I receive threatening messages from different numbers saying that they have discovered me and that they are Israeli soldiers. However, I will stay here and continue my broadcasts.
