Why do Jewish communities promote mass immigration of muslims to Europe while they themselves want to have a free hand to cleanse Palestine of muslims (and christians)? Israel Shamir is an orthodox christian and writer. He gives an answer in: https://www.egaliteetreconciliation.fr/Gaza-et-l-immigration-musulmane-en-Europe-74392.html
Remarkable also that a day or two after a huge pro Palestine demonstration in Dublin, on 23 November a muslim immigrant stabs members of a family there. Is this all accidental or are there human time bombs waiting to be activated in the coming weeks?

It does point to one of the most profound realities of the current zionist genocide: israel is doing way more to promote real antisemitism than all the neonazi groups in the world combined.

This Off-Guardian report was started yesterday; continues today.
(Much valuable information) as with:
In May 2021, the Israel Defense Forces, which included 160 fighter jets, bombed the Gaza Strip with high-explosive weapons dropped on heavily populated areas for 11 days. The planes dropped their loads from high altitude, which facilitated them gaining the velocity required to penetrate the surface of the ground. A delayed fuse meant their one tonne payload of explosives detonated underground, destroying the cellars, bunkers and tunnels in which not only Hamas militants but also Gazan civilians took cover from the bombardment.
In one half-hour period, the IDF dropped 450 such bombs, the largest in their arsenal, at a rate of one every five seconds into the subsoil of Gaza, sending shockwaves through the earth.
The result was 259 Palestinians killed, including 66 children and 41 women, and 2,211 injured. In addition, 6 hospitals and 11 medical clinics were destroyed, 53 schools, a bookshop that held an estimated 100,000 books, as well as 1,042 homes and commercial units in 258 buildings, including 4 residential tower blocks.
The Israeli Government claimed these towers were being used by Hamas for military purposes. However, Human Rights Watch has challenged the truth of this claim, declaring that the air strikes ‘violated the laws of war and may amount to war crimes’. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimated that, as a result of these strikes, 72,000 Palestinians in Gaza were displaced.

Lists of Zionist pilots engaged in current atrocities have surfaced on some Arabic and Persian social networks. These lists contain very sensitive informations: pictures, names, private and workplace addresses, even name of relatives and favorite pubs or restaurants they use to visit…
I don’t think publisher’s motivations has anything to do with International Criminal Court or it’s prosecutor.
