Heads Up

Just in:

Elijah J. Magnier đŸ‡ȘđŸ‡ș @ejmalrai – 7:21 UTC · Nov 11, 2023

This is THE most serious attack and escalation for many years & its consequences are critical, much more than what the eye can see:

#Israeli warplanes attack a truck in Zahrani, south of Lebanon, 40 kilometres from the border, breaking all red lines in #Lebanon after #Syria.

The escalation between #Israel and #Hezbollah has started TODAY (you may disagree if you don't see the full picture).

It seems the occupation of north of #Gaza won't take too long and @netanyahu doesn't mind starting a war on another front.

The next hours/days are crucial.

Can you imagine to live or even sit next to this sniper?

One person killed, many children wounded after Israeli snipers target al-Quds hospital, according to Palestinian Red Crescent

The Red Cross statement calling for the protection of patients, healthcare workers, medical facilities in Gaza comes as the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PCRS) said Israeli forces opened fire on the intensive care unit at al-Quds hospital in Gaza City.

One person was killed and 28 others were wounded in sniper fire by Israeli forces at the hospital, the organisation said.

The majority of the injured were children, it said, two of whom are in critical condition.

I doubt anyone would be eating zionists…we all know they are poisonous and rot an entity from the inside.

I can imagine it. In fact, I would like to look this subhuman in the eyes.
Zionazis are cowards. I’d spit in their faces.

Posted by: Norwegian | Nov 11 2023 9:20 utc | 14
Biden is irrelevant. The US states’ and federal governments and the “whole-of-government” industrial “jobs created or saved” service economy is infested with homicidal maniacs who “pray” for peace at least 5 minutes per week or less for a photo op. The current cabinet could go up in flames tonight. That would not change the trajectory or order of priorities of the nation.

To SHAYAK and fans
There is a spiritual and intellectual corpsus that is JudaĂŻsm, Talmud, Kabala. With many great spirits. For thousand years.
There are so high corpus in many culture, Islam, Hinduism, TaoĂŻsm, Christianity and so on.
Then there are the usual dogmas, non sense, political recuperation and sheer stupidity.
Have self respect. Don’t mix both.
Assert as many political ideas as you wish. But don’t ground them on very poor spiritual knowledge. Or moderate cultural knowledge.
The same goes for the infamy in Israël like in other places to turn subtil things in gross and erroneous one.
In those subjects a good behaviour might be to sip what nourishes you and to drop without arguing what you recognise as erroneous.
What could knesset know about real JudaĂŻsm?. What would Ursula den lugen knows about Meister Eckhart or Goethe?
Let every thing to its place. Don’t nourish hate or resentment on wrong basis.
Intimate feelings should stay laĂŻc, out of politics.
Or should we prefer nuclear religious war?
When we fought with swords we could afford religious war. But this time has past.
Denonce political and moral faults. It is needed. Don’t extend it at levels you don’t master. Levels that can not be mastered with sheer opinions nor sheer intellect.
The core of humanity lies in very intimate feelings. All real spiritual people wherever and whenever respect this core.
In the case you cannot percieve religions as intimacy, stay aside. Caring for the welfare of people is more than enough.
I am not defending religious manipulation of whatever side. I say respect intimacy.
Don’t believe any religion is wrong just because it is misused. Denonce the misusage but not the corpus globally.
This said I would not be against the Amalek part been taken axay of the Bible.
About Shayak is testimony is wrong. Wikipedia would tell you.

Threats and taunts are to get a reaction, and when reacting you are now playing into another’s game. Steady grind leaves the powder wet just enough to prevent an accidental light making it all go boom. These shoves and smack talk show desperation not resolve or success.

PQ 24; the UN never said Iraq had WMD, in fact the inspectors utterly destroyed Powell’s every point.
Posted by: scottindallas | Nov 11 2023 13:15 utc | 65
Yes, I agree with you. I did not write clearly enough. I am NOT suggesting that the UN teams were acting in bad faith. I am saying the US used the UN mechanims to send in Weapons Inspectors to make sure they would not face any nasty surprises when they invaded in 2003 which IMHO they had already planned.
This is something one makes a hypothesis about only with hindsight.
The US also tried to assassinate Saddam once used Weapons Inspection as a cover (but failed). The agenda of the USA with that weapons inspection was NOT to make the world safer, but rather to pave the way for invasion. That’s my hypothesis for now. It may be obvious or it may be preposterous but it did not occur to me until I heard Ritter talking in detail about those events on Kim Iversen’s Rumble.
I am saying the structures and veto mechanisms etc. are all set up so as to be able to either whitewash and / or control Empire’s goals.
I am not saying that most people in the UN are aware of this. It’s only when I look at UN actions over 78 years, I see a pattern. It has never ONCE intervened in time in a way that would harm US/UK/FR. It almost never seems to do anything in the interest of countries which resist. This cannot be a coincidence.

@ Baile 111
this comment, as your previous entries, show an impressive width and depth of philosophical erudition. I have some reservations about ambiguities in the sentences, possible some spelling errors. Would appreciate a more careful editing, especially for people like me, who is a poor moron in philosophy and religion. But I enjoy this discourse nevertheless.
Tragic, sad, that this discourse is had with the background of so much hate, killing, maiming, and the return to the same hate, and the parties – at least one of them, pronouncing itself as the ‘people of light’, vs ‘those of darkness’ (paraphrasing you know who).

The loathsome stenographer Simon Tisdall has a column up talking about China using the Gaza war ‘to make the US look bad’
Posted by: Doctor Eleven | Nov 11 2023 15:15 utc | 94
I, too, noticed this subplot developing under the US state department’s manic campaign to drive Xi Jinping to meet Biden at the APEC forum. The administration attaches great importance (as fmprc says) to “open lines of communication” (as KIRBY says) since the hag Nancy Pelosi landed on Taiwan with weapons contracts, and China cut US out of “mil-mil” cooperation among other “free trade” opportunities. DYK, Biden is the only POTUS in 45 years who has not extended a state visit invitation to China? Rather, state.gov (now incorporating DIA.gov) has been chasing Chinese ambassadors (in “undisclosed locations”) around the world to confirm “consequential” sideline contact and “deepen constructive efforts” agreed in 20 min “in-person” exchange of so-called shared responsibilities during the G20 summit Bali (which incidentally ended without a joint declaration prefacing over 1,800 pages of multilateral priorities).
A YEAR LATER, after Xi’s date with Putin, a “mostly muslim” ME detante, much teeth gnashing among the Atlantic trolls, 2 wars and a “peace formula” financed by NATO, 11 rounds of punitive trade sanctions, and double-stick “nonmarket” tape ripped from Yellen‘s lips, fmprc finally confirms that Xi will arrive in San Francisco Politico REPORTS that “healthy competition” is off the table.

When the two leaders meet at an undisclosed location LOL! in the San Francisco Bay area, Biden will urge Xi to use his influence with Tehran to prevent Iran and its proxies from exploiting the Israel-Hamas war to sow a wider regional conflict.
[…]
Biden’s willingness to add Iran to an already packed meeting agenda with Xi underscores the administration’s concern that Iran’s Lebanon-based militant ally Hezbollah might respond to Hamas’s calls for the group to open a second “resistance” front against Israel. China and Iran have a strategic partnership [ie. BRICS and BRI] fueled by mutual antipathy toward the U.S. that Beijing underwrites with oil purchases [!] and investment [!].
[…]
Beijing, for its part, won’t give details on Xi’s meeting agenda…. Biden goes into the meeting aware it’s his last chance to press Xi one-on-one for a reset in rancorous bilateral ties before he’s sucked into full-time re-election campaign mode….“The President is going to press [Xi to restart military contacts] next week and we hope to have more to report on Wednesday,” the official said.
[…]
“The question really on the table—is China seeking these steps for tactical or short-term measures or are they seeking to truly improve relations with the United States?” the first senior official said.

That is not the stupidest talking point emanating from Biden’s brain trust, but the last, rolling toward the finish line of value chain bankruptcy.

Biden goes into the meeting aware it’s his last chance to press Xi one-on-one for a reset in rancorous bilateral ties before he’s sucked into full-time re-election campaign mode….“The President is going to press [Xi to restart military contacts] next week and we hope to have more to report on Wednesday,” the official said.
[…]
“The question really on the table—is China seeking these steps for tactical or short-term measures or are they seeking to truly improve relations with the United States?” the first senior official said.

That is not the stupidest talking point emanating from Biden’s brain trust, but the last, rolling toward the finish line of value chain bankruptcy.

speaking of “ME detante” to which Jake Sullivan did not contribute, Iranian president makes first Saudi Arabia visit for Gaza summit

Raisi, who was wearing a traditional Palestinian keffiyeh scarf upon his arrival in the Saudi capital, was met at the airport by officials ahead of a joint meeting of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which will discuss the hostilities in Gaza.

On non-verbal fist bumps, sartorial significance, and palace decor

“Gaza is not an arena for words. It should be for action,” Raisi said in Tehran before departing for Riyadh, Reuters reported. “Today the unity of Islamic countries is very important.”
The joint summit also reflects the need for “unified efforts to come up with a collective Arab and Islamic position to address the dangerous and unprecedented developments witnessed in Gaza and the Palestinian territories and contain their repercussions,” the Saudi press agency said on Friday.
[…]

There they go, tightening up the score. Any guesses which member of the band will play which instrument?

Sunday is abc.net.au/Insiders day. Insiders is a political roundup and is always Politically Correct.
To compensate for its PC obligations, each episode of Insiders concludes with a segment called Talking Pictures which is a selection of the week’s pithiest cartoons.
There were two Gaza cartoons.
1. A giant mincing machine with bombs falling into it and fresh terrorists being extruded from its outlet.
2. A bomb falling from the sky with a dotted line connecting the bomb with a target on the ground. The dotted line is labelled Humanitarian Pause.

“Actually, Saddam Hussein did exactly what the enemy wanted. April Glaspie, the US ambassador to Iraq told Saddam, effectively, that he could invade Kuwait.”
——————————————————————–
This is so true; Saddam was set up by Pappa Bush. Saddam Hussein fell for it because he and Pappa Bush were thick as thieves when Saddam was waging a ruthless war against Iran. In fact, they were partners in crime when Pappa Bush, then VP Bush, provided Saddam with sarin and mustard gas, and logistic on when and where to use this gift from the US.
“The Iraqis used mustard gas and sarin prior to four major offensives in early 1988 that relied on U.S. satellite imagery, maps, and other intelligence. These attacks helped to tilt the war in Iraq’s favor and bring Iran to the negotiating table, and they ensured that the Reagan administration’s long-standing policy of securing an Iraqi victory would succeed.”

I’m puzzled as to why the IDF is tying up resources surrounding hospitals.
What is the military value of this?
Could it be they’re struggling to get at Hamas fighters in the tunnels and have elected to take their frustrations out on soft targets instead?
I can’t think of any reason to target hospitals on this scale …

Four aircraft carrier groups are there in the region to fight a war against iran. Amazing to consider that with the appropriate missiles the us could be dealt a devastating defeat which would render it impotent. russia has the capability but doubt hezbollah has access to these.
Helps understand the constant israeli bombing in syria. They must be so worried that some of these missiles are in iran’s proxies possession. Perhaps they are, russia and iran have been cooperating militarily and iran has been helpful supplying their technology to russia for some time.

but in this case they wield immense military power, so they cause ruin all around them, and then of course, because of their near complete lack of humanity and self-awareness, they bring ruin upon themselves and in this case upon their nation, Israel. maybe not today or tomorrow, but it will happen. the arab-moslem world won’t forget these crimes against humanity and this level of war crimes. And neither should the rest of the world, which is protesting in the millions in the streets (and apparently the mainstream media is hardly reporting any of that, a real blackout)
Elijah Magnier on Nov 10:
“You see, for #Israel to cut water & electricity, besiege a city, bomb & massacre civilians is normal behaviour that leaves its officials w/o any remorse. It is normal because we are dealing with the 2d and 3d generations of the Zionist Irgun Terrorist organisation, born in 1931.”

If this is truly their mindset, and the attacks on civilian infrastructure is not the result of cold, clinical military logic, then defeat will not be a distant eventually but one very near.

It’s rapine. An old, ugly word, but one that fits. Violent seizure in an orgy of bloodlust and rage and perverse glee; pillage. In it all cruel excesses go on: rape, murder, butchery, theft, torture, arson, poisoning, etc. It is not even the animal unleashed, for animals typically return quickly to the necessity of survival. It is a revel in one’s basest self to extract that last exquisite morsel of fear and agony from victims.
A frenzy is never a pretty sight, but this type is the ugliest. This is a fall from grace that in its fury and pride attempts to expunge innocence and beauty and hope in its victims. It is a projection of all personal failure and frightened exposure into scapegoats for cathartic annihilation.
The demonic rides the man as instrument of despoilment to add darkness to the world in an effort to no longer be seen. Pitiable. But it still must be forcibly stopped.

Destroying the hospitals is a meaningful way to render Gaza uninhabitable. Since the military aim of the Israeli action is to dislodge Palestinians from Gaza, the systematic destruction of every and each utility is a mean to that end. The Northern area of the Gaza Strip will be Golan Heights redux in a matter of weeks, then after a number of years as a no-man’s land under fire control by the IDF, it will be annexed. That’s it.

They don’t want a wider war. They’ve decided on the final solution – eliminate the Palestinian population. They’ve been waiting to do it for more than 50 years now, and now, foolishly, they’ve decided to put it into action. A very foolish decision, which is very likely to come back and bite. Enacting genocide before the world’s cameras doesn’t go down well, and there will certainly be consequences.

Why are the zionists attacking obviously civilian soft targets and slaughtering women and children?
People need to revisit Naomi Klein’s “Shock Doctrine”. The Empire, and its big psychotic military base in the Middle East, Israel, control populations through “Shock & Awe©”, which is to say by doing shocking and awful things. Inhumanly awful things. Shocking things the target populations cannot even imagine the most depraved of humans doing. Burning people alive in cages or trapped in trade union offices, for example. Torturing people to death and leaving their dismembered bodies in public places for the target population to see. This is deliberate and calculated policy that the CIA and the zionists both operate by. It is unthinkable brutality that is not supposed to make sense to the target population. And yes, non-troll readers here at MoA are among the target audiences of this incredible brutality. It is intended to confuse and disorient and stun, because when in that stunned state one becomes susceptible to influence by voices of “authority” and one’s worldview can be reformulated by those “voices of authority”.
Of course, the primary target here is the Palestinian people themselves. They are the direct victims of these barbaric attacks, after all, and it is most shocking and awful for them. Unfortunately for the Empire’s psychotic management though, “shock therapy” tends to lose its effectiveness when applied constantly, so even when turning the “Shock & Awe©” up to 11, it seems unlikely to be able to open the Palestinian minds to accepting the zionists as their benevolent masters.
That said, attacking hospitals in broad daylight with the world looking on does suggest a significant degree of panic among the Empire’s zionist rabid attack dogs. Remember, it is the frightened dog that barks the loudest. The zionists are hoping to discourage action from the rest of the world by showing how unimaginably vicious they can be to their enemies. They know they will lose if their neighbors get fed up with their noise, form a posse, and show up to shut their party down, so they are trying to prevent that from happening by going way over the top with their savagery.

Yeah except the Shahak quote you yourself posted was describing and criticising Judaism, not mere Zionism.
Zionism is merely the visible symptom
It is Judaism itself, with its built-in “chosen ones” supremacist encoding, which is the “perverse, racist cult”. Zionism is merely one expression of that supremacist encoding.
You’re deliberately, and dishonestly, pretending that the mere visible symptom is the actual disease.

Yeah except the Shahak quote you yourself posted was describing and criticising Judaism, not mere Zionism.
Zionism is merely the visible symptom
It is Judaism itself, with its built-in “chosen ones” supremacist encoding, which is the “perverse, racist cult”. Zionism is merely one expression of that supremacist encoding.
You’re deliberately, and dishonestly, pretending that the mere visible symptom is the actual disease.

Same thing, of course, and of course they want a wider war. For starters, the Zionazis have made it clear that they covet the Litani.

Irrespective of what history teachers and the MSM would like you to believe, its a fact that almost all of Israel’s wars have been about access to more and more water.
Agriculture makes up a large part of their economy and the forms of agriculture they choose to practice are stupidly, or arrogantly water intensive
I say stupid and arrogant because they choose to grow agricultural products like potatoes and flowers, all for export, and all of which are decidedly unsuitable and unsustainable for a country which receives such low amounts of annual rainfall
hence the constant need to constantly steal more and more of their neighbors water supplies.
War (stealing and murder) is inevitable in Israel’s case – its need for war is built-in to the economic/agricultural model they willingly chose
