Palestine’s resistance has already won in Gaza:

“No matter the outcome of Israel’s genocidal invasion of Gaza, the Palestinian resistance fighters have already won.
They were victorious from that first day when they executed a successful military raid of Israeli targets. It was a devastating blow to Israel’s very presence in the world, which depends heavily on military prestige and ability to strike terror in the indigenous Palestinian population and surrounding Arab neighbors…

Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, issued a detailed statement on the 48th day of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Storm as published by media late on Thursday –
“On the 48th day of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, our fighters continue at all their positions, lines, fronts, and combat nodes, we have documented the targeting of 335 Zionist military vehicles since the beginning of the ground incursion, directly hit by our anti-armor weapons, guerrilla action devices, and Shuath explosives. This includes 33 vehicles targeted in the last 72 hours in the areas of Al-Tawam, Jabaliya, Beit Hanoun, Al-Sheikh Radwan, and Al-Zaytoun.”
“We continued bombarding the Zionist gatherings with mortar shells and persisted in directing rocket barrages towards various targets at different ranges inside the Zionist entity.
“In the past three days, our fighters have carried out several qualitative operations that definitively killed enemy forces outside their vehicles.
“A group of our fighters set up an ambush in the Al-Tawam area, north of the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday, the day before yesterday.”

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi says Israel suffered a “humiliating defeat” at the hands of the Palestinian nation and Resistance as they managed to “incapacitate” the regime in its bloody war on the besieged Gaza Strip.
“The Zionists first declared that they wanted to occupy Gaza and destroy the Resistance, but they achieved none of their objectives. What remains from the Zionist regime’s killing of women and children and destruction of people’s homes is the global hatred towards this regime,” he said.
“If we want to make an analysis after over 40 days,… we must say that the enemy suffered a humiliating defeat and that the Palestinian people and Resistance scored a great victory.”
He also hailed the self-confidence of the Palestinian people, saying they demonstrated a “golden scene of resistance” before the eyes of the world through their resilience against Israeli crimes.
“The Resistance managed to incapacitate the fake regime and frustrate it with no air, naval and ground forces, but trust in God… The power of faith can overcome evil,” Ebrahim Raeisi emphasized.

I didn’t much appreciate his comment. It would have been more honorable if he had told it directly, instead of hiding behind the bushes in another site.
I personally look forward to your comments, and am thankful for your efforts 👍

Israel’s leadership urge Netanyahu to Ignore “international demands” and exterminate the Gazans:
by Eric Zuesse
https://www.greanvillepost.com/2023/11/20/israels-leadership-urge-netanyahu-to-ignore-international-demands-and-exterminate-the-gazans/
“Increasingly, Netanyahu’s own cabinet and advisors are urging genocide there against Gazans. (Actually, this viewpoint has long been popular among Netanyahu’s voters — well prior to the October 7th Hamas attack.)

… right from the start, Israel was based upon ethnic cleansing to get rid of the existing population; or, as Ben-Gurion said in 1937, “We must expel the Arabs and take their place” because (mythologically but definitely not historically) God gave that land to “the Jews.” In other words: Ben-Gurion was saying that what he thought of as “our tribe” owns that land because that tribe’s myth says it does.”

“In a significant diplomatic effort, Qatar, with the support of Egypt and the United States, successfully brokered a four-day ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian resistance in Gaza. This temporary ceasefire, aimed at de-escalating the intense conflict that has gripped the region, focuses on facilitating critical humanitarian aid and the exchange of civilian prisoners…

Israel and its allies are repurposing the goals and lies of 1948 – in Gaza in 2023

Israel is openly carrying out ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Yet, just as happened with the first Nakba in 1948, Israel’s lies and deceptions dominate the West’s media and political narrative…

“…one disapproved opinion can ruin one’s life. In that realm of the thoroughly cowed, independent thinking, dive bars and garage bands have all but disappeared. Each word must be sanctioned from a distant center, so Jews don’t lie, swindle or commit genocides, and race is just a social construct, according to those most obsessed with race. Race baiting nonstop, they aren’t the worst racists, however, but God’s chosen, so shut up and obey!

Interviewed by Dana Basch on CNN, Sanders condemns Israel’s ongoing massacre of innocents in Gaza, but only after declaring Hamas to be “an awful terrorist organization” that has “slaughtered 1,400 people in cold blood,” so “Israel has a right to defend itself.” He also fails to challenge Basch’s contention that the lack of food and water in Gaza is because Hamas is hoarding them, as “most people in the West, certainly the U.S., believe.” How can any journalist base her argument on what most people believe?! Like Sanders, Basch is a lying Jew, so they ignore the fact that most people who died on 10/7/23 were murdered by Jewish airstrikes, tank rounds or caught in cross fires. Hamas definitely did not murder 1,400 people in cold blood, and Israel, as an invading, occupying power, can’t define its serial human right abuses and genocide as “defending itself.”

To be clear, the following are the implications of the pending Israeli Government – Palestinan Resistance prisoners swap deal. (Keep in mind that this deal was offered by Hamas over a month ago, but was summarily dismissed by Israel.)
1) The defeat and bending of the will of Netanyahu’s war cabinet, which pledged to never give in to any prisoners’ deal with Hamas, but to “liberate” the captives by military force.
2) The failure of Israel’s war campaign to achieve any of its military objectives as demonstrated by several dejected cabinet members.
3) To force a temporary ceasefire despite the Israeli government’s repeated refusals not to stop its indiscriminate war until the Palestinian resistance is crushed.
4) Despite the heavy sacrifices paid by the people of Gaza including the loss of over 19,000 dead and missing, and over 30,000 injured, the faith, resilience, and steadfastness shown by Gazans have prevailed over the objectives of Israel’s war, which tried to create another Nakba (exile), force the resistance to surrender, or pressure the Palestinian people to abandon their struggle against the occupation.
5) The loss of Israel’s standing in the world because of its aggressive and inhumane behavior, which was in full display as every justification for the war was exposed to be a blatant lie.

The most dishonorable Ben Gvir, Israeli National Security Minister stated,
“Hamas wanted this truce more than anything else. It also wanted to ‘get rid of’ women and children in the first stage, because keeping them would put international pressure on it. In return, they wanted fuel, the release of terrorists, an end to IDF activities and even a ban [ reconnaissance] flights. The agreement has it all.”
Ben Gvir criticized the hostage deal. He said the deal represents a “dangerous precedent” and is “immoral, illogical and very far from sufficient.”
Ben-Gvir also noted that he was extremely dissatisfied with the return of only part of the hostages:
“We have a moral duty to return everyone back, and we do not have the right or permission to agree with the idea of ​​dividing them and returning only some.”🤦‍♂️

So, these doddering fools do actually know what is happening in Gaza. Its just that they do not wish to upset their ‘rules based order’ applecart 🤔

“The flight of a Ukrainian pilot to Russia proves the extreme degree of decomposition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”
https://m.vz.ru/world/2023/11/19/1240455.html
Russia conducted a brilliant special operation in Ukraine. It’s not yet in the official reports, but an active pilot of the Ukrainian Air Force flew to the location of the Russian troops on his plane.
According to some reports, the Ukrainian pilot flew to Russia on a Su-27 fighter jet. According to bloggers, at the moment the Ukrainian officer is cooperating with the Russian competent authorities. Undoubtedly, his professional knowledge of the activities of the Ukrainian Air Force can help Russia in the course of a special operation.
“The Ukrainian pilot, who from the very beginning of the war went over to our side and helped us with information and not only, is now in Russia, “writes another military blogger, Radio Russia host Daniil Bessonov.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei reiterated his call for severing political ties with the Zionist regime, noting that only condemning the usurping regime’s crimes is not “acceptable”.

▪️”In every scene that our youth entered with resolve and faith, they have been able to do great things, and the signs of determination and faith were clearly evident in this exhibition.”
▪️”Definitely, we should not be satisfied with the current level of success, because various military and civilian sectors in the world are continuously advancing and progressing, and we must try so as not to get behind.”
▪️”The Zionist regime is a symbol of racial discrimination. The Zionists consider themselves to be a superior race and consider the rest of the human race to be an inferior race, and that is why they have killed several thousand children without any remorse,”
▪️”When the American president, the German chancellor, the French president, and the British prime minister support and help such a racist regime, it would mean that these men support racial discrimination as the most hateful issue in the world,”
▪️”Despite the massive bombings in Gaza, the Zionist regime has so far failed to advance because they said from the beginning that our goal is to destroy Hamas and the Resistance and stop them, but after more than 40 days and using all their military power, they have not yet been able to do this and finish the job,”
▪️”The brutal bombing of hospitals and women and children in Gaza is a sign that the leaders of the Zionist regime are extremely nervous about their defeat. The Zionist regime’s failure in Gaza is a fact, and advancing and entering hospitals or people’s homes is not a victory, because victory means defeating the opposite, which the Zionist regime has not been able to achieve so far nor will it be able to do so in the future,”

The Essence of Zionism
by Dr. Alexander Dugin
https://arktos.com/2023/11/01/the-essence-of-zionism/
Alexander Dugin discusses the Satanic nature of Zionism and its perversion of genuine Judaism…
“Zionism is Jewish Satanism, Satanism within Judaism, overturning all its foundations. If in Judaism one must await the coming of the Messiah, then in Zionism, a Jew is already God. This is followed by violations of the Talmudic commandments.”

‘We Lost the North’ – The Math of Israel’s Military Defeat in Gaza:
https://www.palestinechronicle.com/we-lost-the-north-the-math-of-israels-military-defeat-in-gaza/
Despite the tough demeanor, strong language and black attires, the war for Israel is not going very well.
“The war cabinet has lost the north.” That was a short tweet on Saturday by former Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

Ground Operation Gone Awry-
It was obvious that the Israeli ground war is going badly in northern Gaza, for these reasons:
▪️Documented evidence by the Resistance of countless Israeli tanks being blown up or damaged in direct hits, especially using Yassin 105 anti-artillery missiles, along with other improvised RPGs.
▪️The Israeli military’s inability to establish permanent and defensible military bases inside Gaza.
▪️The total lack of credibility of official Israeli reports about the progress of the battles, and its inability to document any significant achievement.
▪️The pathetic display at Al-Shifa and other hospitals, where Israeli military spokesmen tried to convince world audiences that baby diapers and a laptop were proof that Hamas is using hospitals for military purposes.
▪️The declaration by the Israeli military that Israel will be taking its ground operations to the south of Gaza – even though no real progress has been achieved in the north.

▪️Though there is no military logic of how killing refugees sheltered in schools, without food or water, could benefit Israel’s declared objective of ‘destroying Hamas’, there is an explanation that could make sense out of these atrocities: distraction.
▪️Particularly the distraction from Israel’s military failure in the north of Gaza. In other words, by creating new media headlines that focus on new massacres, Israel hopes to avoid the headlines focusing on its ongoing military defeat by the Resistance.
▪️Lieberman was right when he said that “the war cabinet has lost the north.” He should know, after all, he too failed to subdue Gaza when he was Tel Aviv’s defense minister.
