At Saturday’s great march in support of Palestine in London, police arrested members of the Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist-Leninist (CPGBML) for having a pamphlet on sale on their stall.
“The “illegal” pamphlet is entitled Zionism: A Racist, Anti-Semitic and Reactionary Tool of Imperialism.

Just what is illegal about it, I do not know. The authorship is ascribed to the CPGBML. I have looked through it and it is scrupulous in distinguishing between zionism and judaism. Criticism of Israel and of the zionist movement is not anti-semitic.

I suspect what may have upset the authorities are the passages on collaboration between some leaders of the zionist movement and the Nazis.”

🔻It turned out that Israel is still ready to negotiate with Hamas “terrorists” and is even ready to further negotiate an exchange of prisoners. That is, what is now happening is exactly what the Hamas forces demanded following October 7.

Only for this Israel needed to wipe Gaza into dust and kill thousands of civilians there…🕯
And also put down several hundred of their own fighters, lose a lot of equipment, ruin the economy, bury relations with your neighbors for decades, create motivation for millions of Muslims to enroll in anti-Israeli movements and make a bunch of other mistakes.
Why?
Did the IDF succeeded in destroying Hamas? Obviously not. Otherwise, who would they be negotiating an exchange with now? Or was it possible to destroy the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza? Also no – Tel Aviv does not even understand where the hostages are being taken out of Gaza and where the rest are being kept.

All the dire consequences for Israel were obvious even at the planning stage of the operation 🥴
It turns out that the bloody massacre was needed only to satisfy the animal bloody revenge of a part of Israeli society (not all!) . And thereby try to save Netanyahu’s political career (why a bloodbath if there is no demand for it in society?) 🤔

There have already been examples in history when politicians ruined entire states to please themselves. Israel, with such leadership and such policies, risks repeating this path

🔻 Why the hostages thank Hamas, and why this is unprofitable for Israel:
Kira Sazonova , Associate Professor of the Department of State and Legal Disciplines of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration

▪️Hamas is more of an idea. That’s why it is so tenacious. This is not only people, it is also external assistance: political, financial, economic. A huge amount of Hamas’s leverage lies outside the territory in question.

▪️What is happening now is extremely unfavorable for the Israeli side from the point of view of media coverage; they are trying in every possible way to suppress this topic, but everything is already leaking out on social networks.

▪️Despite the creation of the bestial face of Hamas, people who return from them unharmed begin to speak, they are grateful for the humane attitude. They were not beaten or tortured. They were used as an asset. If the press appears in the Gaza Strip and begins to objectively cover what is happening there, then the media picture will not be in favor of Israel at all.

Accompanied by the Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah militia, 5 trucks traveling from Iraq entered Syrian territory – Syrian media

🔻 According to information from various sources, the trucks contained 150 Afghan and Iraqi Shiite militants. It is reported that the fighters were taken to Damascus accompanied by forces of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Earlier, Israel launched a missile strike on the outskirts of Damascus.
There is a possibility that the entry of the Shiite group into Syria is associated with possible retaliatory actions from Israel.
Given the ability of the Islamic Resistance to attack American military bases and oil depots in Syria and Iraq, both the United States and Israel may be subject to attack.

Forwarded from Colonelcassad:
Former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who himself fought against Hamas more than once, including conducting Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, called on Netanyahu to resign because he lost to Hamas.

“Netanyahu was defeated in the Gaza war and should be removed from office” – Ehud Barak

In fact, Barak agreed with the opinion of the leaders of the Resistance Axis that Hamas, despite the losses, is defeating Israel in the general confrontation.

It is worth noting that in 2021, Netanyahu lost his post as prime minister precisely as a result of his defeat in the May war with Hamas. Now he is trying to take revenge, but the price for Israel turns out to be prohibitive, as many Israeli politicians clearly say, and the population itself is eager to get rid of Netanyahu, having first hung all the dogs on him 🤔

Iran has called on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to investigate reports suggesting that the Israeli regime has used illegal chemical weapons during its recent aggression against Gaza.

🔻 Speaking to Tasnim News Agency, Deputy Defense Minister Brigadier General Mahdi Farahi said plans have been finalized for Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets, Mil Mi-28 attack helicopters, and Yak-130 jet trainers to join the combat units of the Iranian Armed Forces.
He said those three advanced military aircraft will be definitely at Iran’s disposal, and the processes are currently under way.

🔻 Addressing navy commanders in this meeting, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei emphasized the implementation of sea-based economic policies, the need to discover new capacities in order to increase the authority of the system and the country, as well as create vitality and hope in the society.
Ayatollah Khamenei termed the progress of the navy since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution as impressive and unbelievable.

Redemption Song
– Bob Marley

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
‘Cause all I ever have
Redemption Songs
Redemption Songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it’s just a part of it
We’ve got to fulfil the Book

Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
‘Cause all I ever have
Redemption Songs

Experts Agree: Hamas Is Winning
https://kevinbarrett.substack.com/p/experts-agree-hamas-is-winning#details

“As plainly as one and one makes two, the safe release of the hostages held by Hamas, and the obvious signs that all were in good health tells us something that no one is saying in major media: this is proof positive that the stated objective of the Netanyahu government to eradicate Hamas in Gaza is delusional. Why? Because notwithstanding the savage bombing of Gaza by the Israeli Defense Force which is said to have used the equivalent of two Hiroshima nuclear bombs in explosives, despite the scenes of utter destruction of residential buildings and infrastructure, the starvation, the scarcity of drinking water, the lack of electricity due to the cut-off of all aid deliveries into the enclave since 8 October, Hamas was able to keep the hostages safe and fed all this time in their underground tunnel system.
As I say, whatever comes next, Hamas has won the War.”

The sweet faces of children make an incongruous accompaniment to the genocidal lyrics of the so-called Friendship Song 2023.
“Autumn night falls over the beach of Gaza, planes are bombing, destruction, destruction,” the children sing in angelic voices. “Within a year we will annihilate everyone, and then we will return to plow our fields.”

Possible Yemeni seizure of UK-linked ship in Gulf of Aden

A representative of the Yemeni Houthi military unit hints at an attack on a ZIM ship on his ex-Twitter account.
❗️ZIM, an Israeli international freight transport company, is publicly traded and one of the world’s 20 largest carriers. It is unclear whether this indicates a targeted attack (capture) or a warning.

🔻 Western media continue to engage in dehumanization against the backdrop of the conflict in Gaza.
Thus, The Guardian wrote in principle that Israeli hostages are “women and children,” and Palestinian ones are “women and persons 18 years of age or younger.”
This is propaganda journalism🤦‍♂️

@SergeyKolyasnikov:
Many will disagree, but the worst thing that is happening in the world today is not the carpet bombing of Gaza or the death of tens of thousands of civilians. What’s worse is what Western politicians say about this. Because behind their words are the deaths of not tens of thousands of people, but millions.

So, the other day, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson made a very shocking reservation during a speech (on video): “Sweden and the European Union are unanimous in the opinion that Israel has the right to genoc… that is, to self-defense.” We all understood what Kristersson meant. Some have the right to commit genocide. But that’s not all.

At the beginning of the week, one Dr. James Alvarez (a specialist in hostage negotiations, advanced methods of influence and persuasion) calmly and measuredly explained to the Sky News presenter that “the individual value of an Israeli is much higher than the value of an individual Palestinian.” Now slowly and thoughtfully re-read this phrase again.

The former Israeli ambassador to Russia, Arkady Milman, also distinguished himself earlier, calling the population of the Gaza Strip “dirty, unwashed, unshaven” and comparing them with the Buryats: “Bestial, Buryat, butcher, instinctive hatred of animals who are not people, but animals.”

This already sounded out about 80 years ago –
“We are a dominant people, which means that the racially simplest German worker is biologically a thousand times more valuable in comparison with the local population” – Reich Commissioner Erich Koch.
“We are confronted by a population of 180 million, a mixture of different races, even whose name is unpronounceable and whose appearance is such that anyone can shoot them without any pity or emotion. We Germans are the only people in the world who treat animals fairly, and we are the ones who will treat these subhumans fairly.” – Reichsführer SS of the Third Reich Heinrich Himmler.

The collective West once again clearly shows that Nazism for it is not a condemned phenomenon from the past, but a simple tool for achieving geopolitical goals in the present. Massacres in the Balkans, genocide in African countries, what is happening right now in Gaza and Ukraine – everywhere we see this tool, everywhere we see a “superior race” that considers itself entitled to destroy others, “less valuable”. The only difference is in the wording: Alvarez talks about “individual” value, while Koch mentioned “biological” value.

A week earlier, Vladimir Putin said, that it is unacceptable “to proclaim the exclusivity of someone in relation to others. Dividing people into first and second class, like meat. Meat of the first grade, second grade. This should not be the case in human society.” And the democratic world had better listen. And at the same time remember other words of the Russian president. Otherwise, many of those who today consider themselves “superior” may not remain at all after the global storm they started.

https://en.mehrnews.com/news/208793/Hamas-delays-release-of-captives-over-Israel-s-violations
Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says it has decided to delay the release of a second batch of Israeli captives under a ceasefire in Gaza over Israel’s lack of commitment to the agreement which came into effect on Friday.
It said Israel was not holding up its part of the deal on issues like easing the delivery of humanitarian aid and fuel to Gaza as well as halting gunfire that it said has led to more deaths and injuries among civilians.
