    “Footage of the aftermath of the massacre carried out by the US-supported “israeli” occupation in Al-Maamadani Hospital, with US weapons and international support.

    Al-Maamadani (The Baptist) Ahli Arab Hospital has operated in Gaza since 1904, founded by the Missionary Society of the Church, of the Church of England. Since the 1980s, the hospital has been managed by the Anglican Episcopal Church in Al-Quds.”

    There were an estimated 5,000 fleeing the bombing elsewhere who had taken refuge in its parking lot and grounds.

    ⚡️ At least 3,785 Palestinians have been killed and 12,493 wounded in Israeli strikes on Gaza since Oct.7, the health ministry in Gaza said on Thursday. Of the total death toll, 1,524 were children and 1,000 were women, ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra told a press conference.
    Al-Qudra added that 44 health workers had been killed in Gaza while four hospitals were out of service and 14 basic healthcare services had stopped functioning. “There are no medicine stocks in any of the hospitals in Gaza,” Al-Qudra added, calling on the international community to expedite the delivery of aid to Gaza.

    Reach of Russian missile systems in the Eastern Mediterranean

    💠@Slavyangrad: “After the meeting between Putin and Xi in the group accompanying him, the camera recorded a naval officer with an object very reminiscent of a “nuclear suitcase”. [ video ] And to all appearances, it was not shown by chance. So we remind the former hegemon that we are ready to use our shiny TT against the gangster baseball bat with which he rampages around the planet.”

    19 Oct 2023, Day 13 of the Al-Aqsa Flood. The leveling of Gaza proceeds without pause. There are continuing, ever expanding skirmishes, and now airstrikes on Syria and South Lebanon. Hezbollah is masterfully degrading the defensive positions and surveillance infrastructure of the enemy’s northern front, in preparation for next phases. Syria has started missiling back. Online agitprop continues to spew “imminent gaza invasion.” The demons are in zugzwang — Turkey and Iran marshal the arabs and muslims from Makkah; Orthodox Russia presented its hypersonic missile credentials from the Black Sea. Incidentally, the Black Sea is the very place Gog & Magog were last defeated. The sides face off again.

    💠 @MedManTG:
    ⚡Israeli forces are raiding Ramallah and several other cities in the West Bank! [Ramallah is capital of the corrupt Palestinian Authority gauleiter ; as they lose capacity and will to hold back their enraged people, zionists should openly return to the West Bank…]
    ⚡The Israeli army states that it is attacking the South of Lebanon with artillery and air strikes, this follows after Israeli Air Force raids on SAA positions near Qunetria, Syria, occurred.
    ⚡The Palestinian Ministry of Health states that over 3500 people have been killed in Gaza, with 12,000 Palestinians wounded in Gaza alone, while 69 people have been killed in the Western Bank, and more than 1300 wounded.

    ⚡US military base at Al-Tanaf in Syria attacked by suicide drones and rockets.
    The Conoco oil field under the control of US forces in Syria, target of an attack by kamikaze drones and rockets. [west in zugzwang. Horizontal escalation in process everywhere in support of Gaza and to solve old problems. Death by a thousand cuts..]
    Palestine: Israeli aircraft deliberately and systematically target bakeries in Gaza. Five bakeries were bombed by Mk-84 bombs. It appears that the Israeli goal is to accelerate famine in the besieged strip.
    ⚡Palestine: clashes between demonstrators and Palestinian Authority police in Ramallah [West Bank]. The demonstrators chant and shout slogans against Abbas, described as a traitor.
    Erdogan announces that he is declaring three days of national mourning in tribute to the children massacred by Israeli bombs.
    ⚡Nearly 100,000 people holding Israeli passports left the entity towards…their countries of origin. At least for the Ashkenazim because the Sepharadim who suffer from the discrimination of the former can only return to Morocco and a little to Egypt.
    ⚡More than 2,000 US mercenaries of Ukrainian origin, many of them Jews, are part of the rapid reaction force of the US Marine Corps dispatched to help the Zionist entity in its dirty works.
    Berlin admitted having sent all its special forces to Cyprus to intervene in Gaza. [This is rapidly turning into a combined West vs Orthodox-Islam war… too bad western folks are oblivious of entire tragedy in progress]
    ⚡Surprise: the Syrians start firing Kornet anti-tank missiles at Israeli targets. Emulation effect? Certainly.


    ⚡Amir Weitmann, Israeli Likud financier: “Russia will pay for its support of Israel’s enemies” (RT News) [Good! Let the demons drop their coyness. They may soon declare race-war against Russia as did against Germany in 1933. A great decoupling between Russia and Israel is underway, finally releasing hands of Putin and thus leeway of siloviki and General Staff]
    ⚡The targeted actions of Lebanese Hezbollah against the Israeli defensive system in the north of occupied Palestine are a work of art. It only targets the most sensitive points and seems to focus on the Al-Manara military base, the most important defensive point.
    ⚡Israeli aerial bombardments are intensifying. Gaza’s tallest tower, the Andalusia Tower, was leveled this morning.
    ⚡️Israel issues an ultimatum to all hospitals in Gaza, including Al-Shifa: either they evacuate all staff and patients, or they will be bombed.
    ⚡️The Zionists seem to be focusing a little too much on Al-Shifa hospital and that has a reason: they want to make it a headquarters during their ground offensive.
    ⚡️It should be remembered that since January the Pentagon has held a series of conferences on future wars where it was affirmed that tunnel warfare in urban environments will be the main form of combat. At the time they discussed the lessons of Azovstal (the immense steel complex of Mariupol) and its underground tunnels but we missed that they already had their sights set on the Gaza Strip.

    💠 @Slavyangrad:
    German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius arrived in Beirut on a surprise visit to put pressure on the Lebanese government to try to prevent Hezbollah from entering the war and to gauge the mood of the more than 100 German soldiers stationed there. This week, a rocket hit UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura during a firefight between the IDF and Hezbollah. 41 German soldiers had to flee to a bunker.

    💠 @Arab Africa:
    ⚡The US President allowed the Egyptian President to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. Officially, of course, it sounded different. According to a media statement, Joe Biden and Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi had a telephone conversation in which they agreed to launch humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing. The first 20 trucks will not leave for Gaza until Friday, as part of the road has been destroyed by Israeli bombing and requires repairs. The Israeli authorities said that “they will not interfere with the movement of humanitarian supplies from Egypt and attack convoys if the cargo consists only of water, food and medicine.” [the West increasingly and openly owns ownership of this genocide! Hapless Israelis are hostages to this drama too]

    Chinese President: The most urgent task is to cease fire as soon as possible to avoid widening the scope of the conflict. The main path to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is to implement the two-state solution. An independent Palestinian state must be established and peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel must be achieved. [two-state solutions are dead, but must be mouthed, in order to burn the Zionists and the partisan combined West on the pyre of illegality and contempt of international law. This is the hook being used by civilizational-states to torch what remains of Western authority in the global commons and brand them the Outlaw Empire]

    Turkey’s Fidan meets his Iranian counterpart in Jeddah regarding Gaza war – Ragip Soylu

    💠 @DDGeopolitics:
    ⚡”The Middle East issue can only be resolved by creating a Palestinian state, but few are interested in its success. Military objectives are pursued,” wrote Medvedev in an article for “Izvestia.”

    “No U.S. administration has ever been interested in a final settlement in the region. Instability benefits America as it brings influence and substantial profits,” he noted.

    “Europe, influenced by Washington, turns a blind eye to the facts and desperately and unsuccessfully searches for a ‘Russian trace’ in the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” added the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council.

    “Russia would like to see a resumption of full-fledged negotiations… However, our UN Security Council resolution project calling for a ceasefire and the start of negotiations by conflict parties has been valiantly thwarted by our perennial opponents led by the USA. Therefore, we are prepared for any developments, no matter how regrettable they may sound,” Medvedev wrote.

    💠 @Strategika51:
    ⚡Information is circulating in certain Western and Arab intelligence circles on the real number of Israeli soldiers killed, injured or missing since 07/10/2023. This figure is four times higher than the total number of deaths admitted by Israeli military censorship and is around 4,800. This is the equivalent of a division.
    If this information is confirmed and it never will be on the Israeli side, it is not only the greatest defeat in the history of the entity but it means that the military wing of Palestinian Hamas is capable, in the short term and with more resources to dismantle the entire Israeli army.
    ⚡Intel: If Iran lets Hezbollah open the Northern Front, Azerbaijan could open a front in northern Iran by attacking the Zangezur corridor and Armenia. Azerbaijan supports Israel and the latter always sends it cargo planes full of weapons. [Remember Blinken’s recent words of Azeri intent to attack…]

    💠 @Slavyangrad:
    ⚡US President Joe Biden said that the United States will not send its military if Hezbollah starts a war against Israel. [Centcom boss and aircraft carrier suicide squad bosses did wonders in changing minds after deployment of the Kinzhal patrols over the Black Sea today. Oh Empire, surely not out with a whimper?!]]

    ⚡⚫️ Deputy Secretary-General of PIJ, Muhammad al-Hindi, in an interview with Al-Mayadeen:

    Most of the captives are soldiers, and this issue has many complications. No details will be discussed about it before the end of the aggression.

    “Israel” is bombing places where there are captives and essentially, it does not want to engage in an exchange deal.

    This is not “israel’s” battle, but the battle of the West led by Biden.

    When “israel” was shaken, the West came to breathe life into the entity that began to collapse.

    Gaza is the entrance, but the goal is to change the face of the Middle East, and the battle is the West’s battle.

    ➡️ with the arab elite and states of absolutely no consequence, note this primal gathering in Jeddah (a one hour drive from Makkah) between the two key Muslim players arrayed against the West in the Holy Land — Turkey and Iran, on the day the Orthodox Kinzhals were deployed on the Black Sea. How do those declaring they come not as Americans, but as Jews, interpret the symbolism of this day?

    ⚡️Chinese social networks have greatly surprised US analysts.

    Yes their intent is the mother of all conflagrations. And for that, they were forced to dispense with pretensions, because the ignition fuel required could not hidden — the inhumaneness and sheer malice and scale of the atrocities required would remove all doubt from the lucid as to their role and function in our world and whom is their god.

    “Never before in 30 years have I heard the propaganda as it has been since the AQF campaign began. The cloaking, such as it was, fascism in nazizonewest, has ended.”

    Those among the EU and USUK technocrats who think this can be walked back, or a reputation is salvageable, are in a panic. See:

    @DDGeopolitics: “🇨🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇯🇵🇬🇧🇺🇸🇪🇺 Western support for Israel has “poisoned efforts” to pull the countries of the “global South” to the side of Ukraine – The Financial Times writes about this with reference to officials and diplomats.

    Dozens of Western officials told the publication that it “undid months of work to portray Moscow as a global pariah for violating international law,” and the West is now accused of hypocrisy because Israel is clearly also violating the rules of war.

    We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South. All the work we did with the Global South [on Ukraine] has been lost. Forget about the rules, forget about the world order. They will never listen to us again,” said a senior diplomat from a G7 country .

    Many developing countries supported the Palestinians, viewing the situation through the prism of “self-determination and resistance to US global dominance.”

    “What we said about Ukraine also applies to the Gaza Strip. Otherwise, we will lose all our authority. Brazilians, South Africans, Indonesians: why should they even believe what we say about human rights?” the diplomat added.

    “It’s a godsend for Russia. I think what’s happening is damaging because Russia is using the crisis and saying, ‘Look, the global order that was built after World War II isn’t working for you,’ and appealing to 1 billion people in the Middle East or the Arab world,” said a senior EU official. Former NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer says there is now a danger that the EU, G7 and NATO “will not be taken seriously”. “There is a risk that at the next [UN] General Assembly vote on support for Ukraine we will see a big explosion in the number of abstentions,” says a senior Western diplomat.

    🐻 The Global South shunned Ukraine along time ago, but the West seemingly living in some alternate reality…”

    [Misrata is NATO territory, among early bases used to topple Gadaffi, an evil city, and point of origin of many Turk sephardic Jews, descendants of some of those evicted from Spain during the Inquisition… The West is now finished in Africa, China, Russia, lands of Islam (including ASEAN), and most of Asia.. elites will start to bend to the popular will or be changed]

    “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”

    The lights are going out worldwide.. Mercy is being lifted.

    More than the genocide of Palestinians is underway; a huge gambit. It targets the demolition of all arab (and Iranian) rulers, who cannot survive what is unfolding. A response to Chinese diplomacy and rapprochement in West Asia, and to disrupt the BRI and Levantine land bridge through 100 years of Chaos. And they may have short-term success. Most regional rulers are woefully inadequate, thoroughly vassalized and incapable of sovereign or strategic thought. They are embalmed in pleonexia and see themselves separate from the masses, without honor or loyalty. And thus a thin layer relatively easy to topple, especially after ongoing exposure and revulsion at their complicity, for that is in essence the equivalence being established.

    And so the imperial project should succeed in torching them.. what comes next?? ISIS-like fanaticism (their hoped for goal) or wiser elites?? The former cannot be ruled out at all, given centuries of miseducation, mindwashing, privation, hopelessness — and the dark passions being roused now.. the black hole from 404 may expand south to West Asia, giving oxygen to a Parasite establishing itself with ever more rigor and brazenness in the Holy Land. The unholy Pax Judaica being born in front of our eyes, to replace the West, appears a final offering from western elites who sacrifice all, and transmit their satanic exceptionalism to the next chosen Host.

    How will the zionists escape the coming war from all sides? I do not know. But they will survive, and expand to their falsely-created biblical borders, from the Nile to the Euphrates. Egypt will lose the Sinai again, and deservedly. Yet Damascus, destroyed, will still hold out! Like Cuba within kissing distance of Pax America’s shores. The strange fate of the longest continuously habited city on earth.. it will survive even its imminent total destruction, for it is told the Second Coming will be on its blessed land, while under continued siege (!!)

    And the arabs will be culled in any unholy culling. A prophecy: when the Second Coming occurs, the most numerous arabs will be the Palestinians (!!) They who are now the least numerous will outlast their treacherous kin who watched their genocide for 100 years.. fruits of hypocrisy and pleonexia. Dark Times ahead for the region and the world.

    ⚡️The Russian side proceeds from the fact that deliveries to and from Iran of products falling under the scope of the missile technology control regime no longer need to be coordinated in the UN Security Council – Russian Foreign Ministry.  The requirements of UNSC Resolution 2231 concerning Iran’s missile program expire on October 18. [Does this inform why West Asia is blowing up now, before a proper voentorg can take place? Iran’s hands were freed today]
    ⚡️Mass protests against Israeli actions are also taking place in Yemen. Mass protests against Israel’s actions also began in Libya. It seems that the Israelis were able to turn all the Muslims of the world against themselves in one move.
    Collective prayer in the main mosque of Russia – the Moscow Cathedral – for the victims of the tragedy in Palestine. RIA Novosti personnel. Both ordinary parishioners and ambassadors and religious figures from Muslim countries came together: Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan and others. According to the latest data, the death toll from Israeli strikes on Gaza has exceeded 3.3 thousand. Demonstrations in support of Palestine are taking place around the world, from Latin America to Europe and Africa. Putin: Russia has always supported the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state, regardless of the escalation of the conflict. Palestinian society needs to strive for unity, but that is their business, the Russian leader added.

    Dirar Isa al-Shishani

    💠 from Chechen Ramzan Kadyrov’s channel:

    ⚡”Assalamu alaikum!
    Early this morning, in all the mosques of the Chechen Republic, thousands of Muslims performed the collective Tahajjud prayer in support of the Palestinian people and our brothers participating in the SMO. The bulk of the believers gathered in the central mosque of the city of Grozny “Heart of Chechnya” named after Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov.

    The collective prayer was led by dear BROTHER, Mufti of the Chechen Republic Salah-Hadzhi Mezhiev. After Tahajjud, believers made dua, asking Allah Almighty to protect the people of Palestine from criminal attacks by oppressors. Those gathered in united ranks sincerely asked Allah to grant victory to our soldiers fighting the Satanists in Ukraine. Believers of the republic addressed the same prayers to the Lord of the Worlds in all mosques in the region.

    Muslims of the Chechen Republic are observing the tragic events in the Gaza Strip with deep pain and regret. We also sincerely empathize with our soldiers in Ukraine and believe in their victory in the fight against the minions of Iblis. Therefore, Muslims of the Chechen Republic decided to regularly gather for collective Tahajjud in all mosques of populated areas.

    I urge all Muslims to join us and unanimously visit the mosques of their regions to perform Tahajjud prayers, and be diligent in pronouncing salawat. Do not forget that dua is the most powerful weapon of a believer. So let’s sincerely ask Allah to protect the people of Palestine from oppression and grant our brothers participating in the NWO victory! May the Almighty punish all the wicked, at whose hands innocent people die – children, women, old people! Victory will be ours! Amine!

    Dirar Isa al-Shishani. This is the name of a Chechen, a police major from Jordan, which is well known and remembered in Israel by participants in the events of the first intifada [1987 – 1993]. In those years, the Palestinian uprising broke out for the same reasons as now – in connection with Israel’s military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. According to official data alone, over ten thousand Palestinians were mercilessly killed and wounded.

    Dirar Isa saw all the atrocities being committed by the Israeli military and could not stand it. Alone, he crossed the border, escaped pursuit and began operating right behind enemy lines. Dirar Isa fought in an open area, dug in and fired back with small arms. This fight with the warrior of Allah cost the enemy dearly. Apart from heavy losses during the assault, the Zionists, for their part, were unable to do anything to oppose Dirar Isa. As a result, the area where he was located was bombed. However, in this case, the enemy did not achieve the result on the first try.

    When it was all over, the Israelis were in for another nasty blow. Confident that they were fighting against an entire detachment, they were completely at a loss when they realized the stunning reality. As the participants in the assault later recalled, all they had to do was take the body of Dirar Isa, which they eventually transported to the border with Palestine and left there.

    This is how our BROTHER died as a martyr (In sha Allah). He did not give his life from a bad life. The cruelty of the Israeli authorities, their unceremonious attitude towards the third shrine of Muslims – the Al-Aqsa Mosque, aroused anger in him.

    It is no coincidence that I remembered this story. It’s instructive. Israel today is so carried away by its permissiveness that it is already frantically drinking in the blood of children, women and the elderly. Having lost all sense of proportion, he is already threatening to wipe out an entire nation from the face of the earth. But if the Israeli regime thinks that Palestine is one and you can do whatever you want with it, then it is very, very deeply mistaken.

    Don’t provoke people. Don’t tease or incite Muslims around the world to retaliate. It will cost you so much that you will lose a thousand times more than you find. Know that Dirar Isa al-Shishani was alone. But there are hundreds of millions like him today. And it’s not just Muslims. Remember this and think about it before you make one of the biggest and fatal mistakes in your history.”
