And note, most settlers are armed reservists, active in genociding and abusing Palestinians, and so not really “civilian.” But these acts serve to thin and force the evacuation of northern settlements, facilitating subsequent invasions. IMO a ground invasion into northern Palestine, unexpected by most, may be forthcoming by Hezbollah at the opportune moment. Especially after acquiring drones and air defenses and having blinded most fixed military installations, their offensive path on the ground is now not suicidal…]

⭕ The Mirage of Military Might: Israel’s Illusion Unraveled

In a startling turn of events that ripped through the fabric of Israeli nationalism, October 7th emerged as a day of reckoning, tearing down the long-standing edifice of Israeli military invulnerability. Hamas’ audacious strike on this fateful day was not just a tactical blow; it was a seismic shockwave that reverberated through the core of Israel’s militaristic identity.

Tracing back to the inception of Israel, the military stood not just as a force of defense but as a crucible of national identity, welding together a disparate populace into a unified, militarized entity. This transformation, steeped in the ethos of a warrior democracy, forged a collective psyche where the sword was mightier than the pen, and the battlefield was the arena of national validation. Yet, the events of October 7th have unmasked this as a perilous myth.

The shocking efficiency of Hamas’ strike laid bare a critical truth: Israel’s military, long lionized as an invincible guardian, was but a leviathan with feet of clay. This strategic blindside not only exposed the IDF’s operational vulnerabilities but also symbolized the failure of a doctrine that placed excessive faith in military might over diplomatic engagement and political resolution.

The IDF’s evolution into a quasi-colonial police force, tasked with the relentless subjugation of Palestinians, reveals the inherent contradiction of Israeli policy. This shift, fueled by an unyielding occupation, has not only eroded the moral fabric of Israeli society but also entrenched it in an intractable conflict, one that no amount of military prowess can resolve.

Now, post-October 7th, Israel stands at a crossroads. The mirage of invincibility has dissolved, laying the groundwork for a profound rethinking of its approach to the Palestine conflict. The choice is stark: persist in a quixotic quest for dominance through force, or embark on a path towards a lasting peace that acknowledges the complexities of the region and respects the dignity of all its inhabitants.

The global community, too, must seize this moment to recalibrate its stance. The customary rhetoric and perfunctory condemnations no longer suffice. It’s time for a robust, concerted effort towards a resolution that transcends the entrenched narratives and addresses the root causes of the conflict.

In essence, October 7th was more than a military debacle; it was a clarion call for Israel to awaken from its hubristic dream of unassailable might. It’s an opportunity to shed the shackles of a militaristic mindset and embrace the promise of a just peace through mutual respect and negotiation. The path ahead is fraught with challenges, but it’s a journey that must be embarked upon, for the alternative is a perpetuation of cycles of violence and despair. The mirage has lifted, revealing a landscape ripe for change – a change that must begin now.

⭕ National and Islamic Forces Committee: Once again, the zionist enemy leaders come forth with lies and false claims, attempting to exonerate their murderous soldiers from the massacres and crimes committed against our innocent people, including the attacks on hospitals in the Gaza Strip, notably the Al-Shifa Hospital, Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital, Al-Nasr Eye Hospital, the Indonesian Hospital, and the Al-Quds Hospital.

We have requested the United Nations and international organizations to be present in these targeted and threatened hospitals to reveal the truths and to fulfill their responsibilities in protecting these hospitals, preventing the army and government of the occupation from falsifying facts and shirking their protective duties.

We categorically deny all the statements made by the terrorist leaders of the occupation last night, Saturday, and consider them baseless lies, including the claim of using civilians as human shields.

The zionist crimes were committed [documented] in sound and picture, and the media have witnessed and conveyed everything as it happened moment by moment, despite media blackout, threats and intimidation, and despite preventing dozens of agencies and global television networks from being in Gaza to cover the orchestrated war waged by the occupation against the Palestinian people and their institutions.

These lies from the leaders of the occupation, led by the Nazi criminal Netanyahu, aim to obscure the enemy’s abysmal failure and to cover up the deceit they propagated when they portrayed the hospitals as military targets they seek to hit. After their deception was exposed, they started to backpedal and tried to appear humane, a guise utterly unbecoming for those who kill children, women, and innocents.

💠@Yeni Şafak in Russian:
⭕ American TV channel CNBC: Russia is becoming an enemy of Israel.
🔹Russia is gradually abandoning its neutral position and acting critically and hostilely towards Israel.
🔹In recent years, Russia has become extremely close to Iran, Israel’s sworn enemy, and has become dependent on Tehran in the fight against NATO.
🔹Russia has realized that its relations with Iran and Saudi Arabia are of greater strategic and economic value than its relations with Israel.

⭕ Collective need to defend Muslim nations from mistreatement

From nations such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan to regions spanning Tunisia to Bahrain, from Salafists to Sunnis and Sufis, and encompassing various political factions within Palestine, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, as well as the division between Shiites and Sunnis, there is a collective need to defend the dignity of Islamic civilisation. It asserts itself as a sovereign, independent civilisation that rejects any mistreatment.

Erdogan’s mention of jihad as a response to the conflict serves as a reminder of the historical Crusades, yet this analogy doesn’t fully capture the essence of the present situation. Modern Western globalisation has diverged significantly from Christian civilisation, having severed many connections with Christian culture in favour of materialism, atheism, and individualism.

Christianity has little to do with the material sciences or the socio-economic system primarily driven by profit, and it certainly doesn’t endorse the legalisation of deviations or the embrace of pathology as the norm, nor the inclination towards a post-human existence — a concept enthusiastically promoted by Israeli post-humanist philosopher Yuval Harari.

The West, in its contemporary form, represents an anti-Christian phenomenon, lacking any connection to the values of Christianity or the embrace of the Christian cross. It’s essential to recognise that when the Islamic world clashes with the West, it is not engaging in a conflict with the civilisation of Christ but rather with an anti-Christian civilisation, which can be termed the civilisation of the Antichrist. [this is why Erdogan’s ludicrous comment of “the Cross vs Crescent” is not merely stupid, but harmful, risking keeping Russia away. It is NOT an anti-Christian stance by majority of Muslims. Is the Muslim-Brother Erdogan still serving the supranationalist satanists when he says what he says? Erdogan CANNOT be trusted, a malignant force to the end, not merely dividing Muslims, but the Orthodox-Islamic Alliance]

Russia, as a significant global player, is actively engaged in a war with the West on the soil of Ukraine.
⭕ Unfortunately, due to the influence of Western propaganda, many Islamic countries have not fully grasped the underlying reasons, objectives, and nature of this conflict, often perceiving it as a mere regional dispute. However, as globalisation directly impacts Muslims worldwide, Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine takes on a vastly different significance.

Ultimately, it signifies a clash between a multipolar world and a unipolar one, i.e., this war serves the interests not only of Russia as a global pole but indirectly, or even directly, of all such poles. China is well-equipped to comprehend this, and within the Islamic world, Iran is among those that can grasp this perspective. [why Iran is slated for destruction. It is one of few with the toolkit and maturity; and able to consolidate and marshal the ranks]

Notably, geopolitical awareness has been rapidly on the rise in other Islamic societies, including in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, and Indonesia. This has led to initiatives like the reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran and Turkey’s pursuit of a sovereign policy.

Israel’s mass slaughter of civilians in Gaza, witnessed by the entire global community, is compelling the Islamic world to set aside internal differences and contemplate direct confrontation with the West.

💠@Strategika51: 
⭕ Technically half of Syria is under undeclared US occupation. [Closer to 1/3 and this map leaves out Al-Tanf base and others. Erdogan said a few weeks ago the US had about 20 bases in Syria]
⭕ There is also an area under Turkish occupation in the northwest and in areas adjacent to US bases in the north center.
⭕ As we previously reported here, the USS Dwight Eisenhower Nuclear Carrier Strike Group is preparing to launch airstrikes against Yemen. [remember the lobster & steak!]
⭕The province of Idlib is de facto completely independent from central power in Damascus and is governed by Syrian rebels. It maintains fairly significant economic exchanges with Türkiye. [is this rat’s nest essentially run by MI-6?]
⭕ Added to this very complex situation in Syria is that of Lebanon, a country in total bankruptcy (deliberately provoked as part of a hybrid war aimed at weakening Hezbollah) and living in a permanent political blockage. It should be noted that the small Lebanese army still does not have air defense.
⭕ Further east, Iraq is in even worse shape. It is led by a puppet government appointed by the CIA, which attempts to channel popular anger by using populism of convenience in appearance and signing all the Siege Agreements for the establishment of secret US military bases, notably in the Western Province of Al-Anbar. [these are some of same Sunni guys also hammering US bases. Old deals are off.]
⭕ In the north of Iraq, the autonomous province of Kurdistan is de facto independent under the total domination of the Barazani dynasty, a Kurdish Jewish family, whose methods have nothing to envy of the worst mafias on the planet. It is the demographic imbalance between the Arab and Kurdish populations which still allows Baghdad to have a say over the oil in the Kirkuk region.
Authorities in Iraqi Kurdistan have concluded a series of secret agreements with the United States and Israel to establish bases and electronic intelligence collection sites. Erbil is home to the largest regional Mossad center in the Middle East. [note how several bases in Erbil have been hammered in last weeks. Iran does it periodically too. Lots of “pest-control” work going on!]
⭕ Yemen is a country destroyed from top to bottom. All its state structures are destroyed. There is no more society strictly speaking but very strong, united and rival tribal structures with the dividing line being the old border between the two Yemens before the reunification of 1994. The country was bombed for years by the nec plus ultra Western fighter planes under the cover of an Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia. The entire range of existing aerial bombs and air-to-ground missiles was used, including a neutron weapon and another suspected of being a tactical nuclear weapon.
All private military companies have benefited from the largesse of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to wage war in this country. In vain.
It is currently the only country in the world to openly defy the United States and Israel by launching missiles and kamikaze drones at Israel.
[I have seen some mountain goats in Yemen with scrota so heavy and huge they staggered around having difficulty walking straight, as if pregnant. The average emaciated little runt of a Yemeni puts them to shame! He has even more testosterone. Goodness. For every human demon, a Yemeni was created to torment and chastise him. What the Frenchie author of this channel neglected to mention is that in the last couple years or so of peace, bought dearly by GCC moneybags, Yemenis used it to restock with weapons up the wazoo, preparing for the next round of the eternal fight. What air defense and anti-ship missiles do they have by now?? Anticipating the fight to come, what goodies were sent by Chairman Rocketman and Soleimani’s successors?

The Islamic Resistance confirms that it will continue to destroy enemy strongholds.
(And victory is only from God. Indeed, God is Mighty, All-Wise)

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Regarding the resolutions of the joint Arab-Islamic Summit.

Following the resolutions issued by the joint Arab-Islamic Summit held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Saturday, 11/11/2023:

The terms of “condemnation”, “demand”, and “call” that filled the final statement suggest as if the statement is issued by an entity unrelated to the massacres committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, not by a meeting of 57 countries, which through their statement seem to possess nothing, and are incapable of anything, except for pleading and demanding.

The final statement reflects the Arab and Islamic countries’ collective shirking of their duties and distancing themselves from their responsibility in protecting Arab and Islamic national security, and abandoning Palestine and its people to the zionist entity and its Western sponsors.

We express our deep surprise at the content of the final statement regarding “the affirmation of adherence to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative”, and the reminder that “the precondition for peace with ‘Tel Aviv’ and establishing normal relations with it is ending its occupation of all Palestinian and Arab lands,” especially in light of the rush of some Arab regimes to normalize with the entity.

Perhaps the statement would have gained some credibility if the Arab and Islamic countries normalizing relations with the entity had initiated to cut their relations with it, following the example of some Latin American countries, which are neither Arab nor Islamic and have no connection to Palestine and its people.

The resolutions in the final statement send a message to the Arab and Islamic nation that these regimes are now incapable of protecting their people and defending the nation’s holy sites, and that their people are left as easy prey for the zionist entity and the American administration.

💠@IbnRiad
⭕ Beautiful launch of the Burkan IRAM rocket by Hezbollah today, a deployment of higher payloaded rockets, that was also confirmed by Sayyed Nasrallah in his speech today. [video]
⭕ A loud explosion heard over Haifa just over half an hour ago seems related to the Zionist army attempting to intercept a drone that likely came from Lebanon.
See the note below:
“Seems a drone interception. Note, sayyed Hassan nasrallah mentioned that Hezbollah has sent and is still sending UAVs over Israel some of them reaching haifa and returned back safely”
⭕💥💥💥 This is part of the qualitative escalation that Sayyid Hassan talked about today – these [Burkan] rockets carry up to half a ton of destructive power, and three of them were launched against Zionist military sites in the lead-up to Sayyid’s [Nasrallah] speech today. [video]
⭕ The continued and escalating use of this missile is likely what prompted Gallant to gallivant up to the Lebanese border and start barking his empty threats.
⭕ US military aircraft suffers tragic training mishap 🙃
CENTCOM “categorically confirms the mishap with the US aircraft was related to training exercises, with zero indication of any hostile activity”. One of the Resistance Axis spokesmen has the chance to do the funniest thing ever right now… [this is some aircraft downed in East Med…]

The sober expert diplomats are getting ready to bail

Russian Dep FM Sergei Ryabkov: “I don’t rule out anything at all (in Russia-US ties.) The level may be lowered; and the severance of diplomatic relations is also possible.”

MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. Washington’s behavior may compel Moscow to downgrade diplomatic relations or even cut ties, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.

“We are indeed going through an acute crisis in relations, the likes of which we have never seen before. We need to carefully calibrate and verify the steps we are taking to prevent further escalation. Our leadership encourages the Foreign Ministry and other federal government agencies to act this way, which is what we are guided by. However, we have seen the Americans take a series of irresponsible and escalatory steps with regard to Ukraine, and not only there,” the senior diplomat said in an interview with RTVI. “That is why, if we look at Washington’s current behavior model from this perspective, I don’t rule out anything at all. The level [of diplomatic ties] may be lowered; and the severance of diplomatic relations is also possible,” he added.

Still, the deputy foreign minister stressed that Russia did not plan to initiate the severance of diplomatic relations with the US. “We believe that diplomatic relations are an element of international affairs that need to be taken care of because otherwise we will lose all that’s left of civilized channels for sending messages to each other,” Ryabkov said.

In this regard, he pointed out that November 16 would mark 90 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and the United States. “Our relations have been through various phases; there was even a period of allied ties and brotherhood in arms in the fight against a common enemy, Hitlerite Germany, that was waging a war against us and our allies, which included the US back then. Later, there were the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and a period of detente. We’ve seen many things,” the Russian deputy foreign minister noted.

The senior diplomat also pointed out that Russia would always respond to any US challenges and provocations. “I think the Americans know us by now, watching how firmly and consistently we defend our interests in all areas,” Ryabkov emphasized.

hahaha, nothing against you dear emerson. I merely copied & pasted the blurb. He could have used any of 1,000 easy examples from New England. A region marinated in Hypocrisy! Puritans and Pilgrims who came to establish a New Jerusalem.. and merrily joined in the British Empire’s looting and doping and corrupting of mankind. The clipper ships, some of the best and most elegant and fastest sailing vessels of the opium era were built in New England..

And I probably knew the offspring of several of these robber barrons! I was fortunate to receive a full boarding scholarship in a New Hampshire private school throughout HS — being top of my class, with a visa straight from Africa. In perusing the school albums of prior generations, I was struck at the graduating class of a century earlier numbered about 8-10 individuals and all went to the Ivy Leagues. The school had opened up by my time, allowing colored folks, and had become co-ed only a decade or so before I arrived too in 1970s. Some of my classmates are famous olympians, and some unfortunately infamous, tarnished with Lance Armstrong in the [doping!] cycling scandal at the Tour de France.. New England remains a region of financial influence and coordination hub of the Anglo-American Alliance, even as the working class has sunk into the despair and abandonment of rust belts.

Indeed, I always wondered at the famous question of Henry David Thoreau. [[ He was thrown in jail for refusing to pay a poll tax which he believed went to funding an unjust war (sound familiar?). When his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson goes to visit Thoreau, he asks him, “What are you doing in there?”. I believe Thoreau asked him if he thought there was any fairness in the tax, and when Emerson concluded there wasn’t Thoreau’s response was “Waldo, the question is, “What are you doing out there?” ]]

Perhaps the familial affiliation and entrapments of Ralph Waldo Emerson helps explain why he was on the outside of the bars looking inside at the honorable prisoner!

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

💠@Resistance News Network:
⭕ Highlights from Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s speech for Martyr’s Day (1/2):
—
The impressive and legendary battlefield of Gaza is significantly decisive today in the course of events, and the real bet is on the battlefield.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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