“Let us differentiate between totally different species… The body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of members of all other nations of the world.”
—Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, Lubavitcher Rabbi, Chabad Leader
“A ***’s killing non-**** does not constitue murder according to the Jewish religion.”
—Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburgh
“While God requires other normal nations to abide by abstract codes of justice and righteousness, such laws do not apply to ****.”
—Rabbi Shlomo Aviner
“If a *** needs a liver, can he take the liver of an innocent non-*** to save him? The Torah would probably permit that. Jewish life has an infinite value. There is something more holy and unique about Jewish life than about non-Jewish life.”
—Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburgh

Travelling with passport from Israhell will be in future a big challenge
Can imagine that Immigration officers will treat travellers appropriate.
Moreover many with israhell passports might apply for second passport for travelling in Germany and other EU countries
Will be interesting development
The same applies to business with Israhell companies or jews with US or EU companies

Given the ICJ ruleing regarding clear signs of Genicide taking place in Gaza.
I suggest jewish people when applying for a job should be asked to state in writing weather or not they support the actions of israel. In the form of a contract regarding illegal activity.
This could be used as grounds for not employing them or dismisal if they are employed.
It would be usefull in spureous claims of antisemitism, in their future emploment.
Think of the benfit to ….
Politics.
Media.
Academic instututes.
Banking.
Phamasuticals.
Also all commerce.
More over its not anti semetic to undertake not to support criminal activty such as genicide.
Job done.
This would be agood addition to the boycoting and sanctioning of Israel.

Sir, I love your comment regarding the Hama Tunnels. Like the fairy tales of atrocities, beheadings and rapes etc comitted by Hamas was repeated by MSM and folks like you without a shred of evidence about these things. Do you know that a reporter from Gaurdian refuted the claims of proof by IDF? MSM fairy tales of Trump collusion, J-6 insurrection etc has lost its credibility? IF IDF had a proof about these so called tunnels don’t you think they will parade NY TIMes, WPost, journalists showing them these hideous UNRA activities? Any way goood luck with these stories unfortunately no one will believe you. Thanks

This story of the militant and resistance group, Hamas being linked to UNRWA is Hasbarah as usual that came out just on the ICJ ruling that indicates that Israel is a GENOCIDAL project.

Reports: Senior IDF officer dismissed pre-Oct. 7 intel on Hamas invasion as ‘fantasy’
https://www.timesofisrael.com/reports-senior-idf-officer-dismissed-pre-oct-7-intel-on-hamas-invasion-as-fantasy/

Two lower level officers in IDF’s elite intelligence Unit 8200 outlined a mass invasion one month before onslaught; top officers also waved off manual showing plans for onslaught

‘Lower level officers’ means that the two officers were not ‘high’ enough in the chain to be permitted to be insiders into the upcoming false-flag.
—
Unit 8200 could have saved Israel from Oct. 7; why hasn’t it owned up to its failure?
https://www.israelhayom.com/2023/11/23/unit-8200-could-have-save-israel-from-oct-7-why-hasnt-it-owned-up-to-its-failure/

All relevant commanders in the elite IDF signal intelligence unit were asleep on the wheel, led by Brig. Gen. Y., who heads the unit. It appears that it failed to share the relevant intelligence, even though it claims it passed on everything to the IDF Intelligence Directorate’s Research Division analysts.

…

The responsibility of Unit 8200 does not end here. In the months leading up to the attack, real-time monitoring of the tactical communication of Hamas operatives on their radios was halted. Had they been monitored, at the very least Israeli intelligence would have had time to deploy forces and mitigate the scale of the invasion.
The decision to cease real-time monitoring was made with approval from all levels,…

The claim that the IDF would stop “real-time monitoring of the tactical communication of Hamas operatives on their radios was halted” is a difficult claim to swallow. Remember that it isn’t just what words are being communicated on the radios, such as the planned date of an attack, there is also location and also association. Who is associating with whom. Where do they congregate? Where does the signal strength begin to diminish as the radio signal goes into a tunnel? Where does a particular radio signal reemerge?
What is really being said when they claim Unit 8200 halted monitoring is that they made access to the monitoring intelligence more restrictive.
They did not want anyone sounding the alarm about what Hamas was preparing. They did not need a plethora of “boat rockers” such as the “lower level officers” mentioned above. Also, they needed deniability so that they could brush off discovery of their false flag treachery.

Germany scraps plans to remove ‘race’ from constitution

[…]
Josef Schuster, the head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, had spoken out against removing the term, reasoning that it served as a reminder of the persecution and murder of millions of people, “especially Jews.”
Paragraph three states that “no person shall be favored or disfavoured because of sex, parentage, race, language, homeland and origin, faith or religious or political opinions.”
[…]

Now, go forth and CODE the uniform law of favours excluding “sex, parentage, race, language, homeland and origin, faith or religious or political opinions”!

In Jerusalem, Milei (President of Argentina) said that he wants the rebuilding of Solomon’s Temple, to fulfill the prophecy that will bring the Messiah of the Jews to Earth.
In a recent revelation by Israeli television Channel 13, details have emerged about Israel’s utilization of a land route originating from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and passing through Saudi Arabia and Jordan. This route has been strategically employed to transport cargo, effectively bypassing the Houthi blockade in the Red Sea.

Turned out they knew about the tunnels because they built them themselves.
If there are any tunnels under the UNRWA building they were put there by Israel, not the UNRWA!
I have come to the conclusion that the Zionists are so sick—they actually want to kill the Pals via thirst. That is what happened to the Shi’a women and children in the Arabian desert back in the 7th C. The Zionists want to watch this.

16 days after ICJ ordering Israel to not kill:
1864 killed of which 690 children.
Total dead is now 35,880 (including missing).
Israeli tiktok war crimes are active and continuing.
That’s about 280 killed per day since Oct 7.
I think total death toll in Yemen is at least 10 (from before) +17 in recent airstrikes.
Lebanon also has a lot of casualties. At least 176 Hezbollah + civilians.

Seyed Mohammad Marandi appears in an interview with RT’s Oksana Boyko over here:
https://www.rt.com/shows/worlds-apart-oksana-boyko/592221-marandi-international-politics-hostages/
Some interesting biographical information at the start of the show and, although Boyko is rather cynical, Marandi underlines what is important and what is new.
As an example of what is new: the genocide in Gaza is not viewed globally simply as the continuation of decades of Israeli crimes against the Palestinians, but rather as a collective Western genocide. This leads to the uncovering of a litany of other Western crimes, going back decades. It also completely undermines the Western human rights narrative of lecturing other countries, of impunity, and of exceptionalism. The hegemonic narrative is coming apart at the seams and that is unquestionably new and very significant.

A (translated) verse from a song (Casa Mia) by Italian rapper Ghali sung at the San Remo music fest in Italy. The song never mentions any country. The head of a specific community in Milan came out to complain about it on the first night of the festival. Duly reported by MSM the next day.
Thus drawing more attention to the song (worth listening to imho). In the end the song came in 4th but not without the voting system crashing and thousands of complaints from people about not being able to vote.
On the final night as he was taking his bows on the stage, Ghali asked his “alien” friend (another guy who performed with him in a costume) if he had anything to say. The alien whispered something into Ghali’s ear and Ghali tells the audience that the alien said: stop genocide. Estimates are 15 million viewership.

Guess which country’s ambassador attacks Ghali?
In some post fest event Ghali was asked to reply to the Ambassador. He said that he’s been writing about these issues since he was a kid and not since 7 Oct, that one should not be intimidated into silence. The audience gave him a standing ovation.
It is said that RAI, the state broadcaster eliminated the stop genocide part, not sure when. Clumsy stuff turns it into a trending topic. Ghali never once mentioned any country.
Others on MoA have mentioned that Italy’s ENI is part of the Steal Gaza Oil Project (SGOP) with Israel.

Wow, but that right away reminded of the end section of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, which now that I think about it has some similarities to the situation in Gaza. Spoiler Alert:
The basic method whereby a much poorer, much less technologically enabled, people can compel their oppressor to come to terms has an exemplar with the way the Houthis/Ansar Allah are using cheap missiles to put a crimp on shipping in their area, and, in fiction, the way the revolutionaries on Luna used rocks, sent by way of a mass driver, as a cheap weapon to take out Earth’s very expensive missile defense system.

“Not to mention the forgiveness portion which Islam lacks…”
The Quran is abundant on God’s forgiveness. In fact, the Quran begins with mentioning God’s name being the Most Merciful, and God’s forgiveness is mentioned over 230 times throughout.
An authentic Hadith says that the one who makes it a habit before he goes to sleep to forgive everyone who has wronged him, will be among the people of Paradise.
But its alot easier said than done. Its a universal truth that the graves are filled with a lifetime of grudges.

Any protests and empty threats from Arab leaders should be seen as political posturing and hat in hand begging for more money and military aid from the US, not support for the Palestinians.

Assalamu ‘alaykum.
As you know God won’t forgive nifa’a, hypocrisy, pretending to believe in Islam while actually not believing.
But Jewish psychiatric medics working for the Nazis experimented with torture followed by chemical brainwashing in order to destroy a person’s faith. This works on the human,
learned memory microprocessor of the brain, but doesn’t change the learned /intelligence of the Heart.
The zionists constantly use trauma to weaken the faith of the Muslims. This , not usury, makes them a central component of the Crusading team USUKIS. The Chritian political Crusaders themselves , the worshippers of Mammon , have no concept of faith, following mere mumbo jumbo, so the insights of the original People of Book who were physically and intellectually
displaced by Christianity have to guide political Christianity Rome, against Islam.
Islamism is created and nurtured by Zionism by rendition imprisonment – torture- chemical brainwashing. The Islamists are like somebody who have had a stroke who cannot understand the consequence of their actions. Islamism has created this Palestinian genocide. If a riot breaks out in a prison, a lot of inmates will suffer. The jail can only be busted from the outside.

BREAKING: US congress receives bill to review SA relations following ‘politically motivated’ ICJ case
A bill has been submitted to the United States congress calling for a full review of the country’s bilateral relationship with South Africa following the International Court of Justice ruling that found it plausible that Israel has committed acts of genocide against Gaza.
The bipartisan bill which was introduced by US Republican congressman John James and Democratic Party congressman Jared Moskowitz this week could threaten South Africa’s prospects to benefit from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
The bill will still need to be discussed and passed by congress.
It states that not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, US President Joe Biden in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, shall certify to the appropriate congressional committees and release publicly an unclassified determination explicitly stating whether South Africa has engaged in activities that undermine United States national security or foreign policy interests.
It further states that the US government must provide an unclassified report submitted to the appropriate congressional committees justifying the determination upon its certificate.
US Embassy mission spokesperson David Feldmann declined to comment. The ANC and the government’s response will be added when received.
The bill accuses the ANC of acting inconsistent with its publicly stated policy of nonalignment in international affairs.
It states that the South African Government has a history of siding with malign actors, including Hamas and the Russian Federation.
The US congress bill argues that the South African government’s support of Hamas dates back to 1994, when the ANC first came into power, taking a hardline stance of consistently accusing Israel of practising apartheid.
The ANC and the South African government have however been known to have ties with the Palestine Liberation Organisation dating back to former president Nelson Mandela’s term in office.
“Following Hamas’ unprovoked and unprecedented horrendous attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, where Hamas terrorists killed and kidnapped hundreds of Israelis, members of the South African Government and leaders of the ANC have delivered a variety of anti-semitic and anti-Israel-related statements and actions,” it reads.
The US congress states that some of the anti-semitic remarks include President Cyril Ramaphosa’s statements accusing Israel of genocide.
It said that the anti-semitic statements also include International Relations and Cooperations Minister Naledi Pandor’s statement expressing concern about escalating violence, urging Israel’s restraint in response.
It adds that Pandor implicitly blamed Israel for provoking the attack through “continued illegal occupation of Palestine land, continued settlement expansion, desecration of the Al Aqsa Mosque and Christian holy sites, and ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people.
It accused the ANC national spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri of anti-semitic remarks after stating that the decision by Palestinians to respond to the brutality of the settler Israeli apartheid regime is unsurprising.
“On December 29, 2023, South Africa filed a politically motivated suit in the International Court of Justice wrongfully accusing Israel of committing genocide. The South African Government has pursued increasingly close relations with the Russian Federation, which has been accused of perpetrating war crimes in Ukraine and indiscriminately undermines human rights. South Africa’s robust relationship with Russia spans the military and political space, including allowing a United States-sanctioned Russian cargo ship, the Lady R, to dock and transfer arms at a South African naval base in December 2022,” the bill stated.
It also cites that South Africa dispatched multiple high-level official delegations to Russia to further political, intelligence, and military cooperation.
The congress bill states that South Africa and the ANC’s relationship with the Chinese government and its ruling Chinese Communist Party(CCP) – which is committing gross violations of human rights in the Xinjiang province and implementing economically coercive tactics around the globe – undermine South Africa’s democratic constitutional system of governance.
These acts include what it says are ongoing ANC and CCP inter-party cooperation; recruitment of former United States and NATO fighter pilots to train Chinese People’s Liberation Army pilots at the Test Flying Academy of South Africa; South Africa’s hosting of 6 Chinese government-backed and CCP-linked Confucius Institutes; South Africa’s participation in a political training school in Tanzania funded by the Chinese Communist Party, cooperation with the Chinese global Belt and Road Initiative; and the widespread presence in South Africa’s media and technology sectors of PRC state linked firms.
“The ANC-led South African Government has a history of substantially mismanaging a range of state resources and has often proven incapable of effectively delivering public services, threatening the South African people and the South African economy,” the bill stated.
The bill accuses Ramaphosa of having declared the national state of disaster over the worsening energy crisis, “the worsening, multi-year power crisis caused by the ANC’s chronic mismanagement of the state owned power company Eskom, resulting from endemic, high-level corruption”.
It states that the persistence of Transnet’s insufficient capacity, an on-going outbreak of cholera, a failure to provide clean water to households and rampant state capture are part of ANC governments mismanagement of the state.

I don’t know about Rouen but the Jews did not begin to settle in the Netherlands, including modern Belgium, until the late 1400s after the Sephardic Jews started leaving the Iberian peninsula for reasons that are well known. The Netherlands had become part of the same Habsburgian realm as Spain thanks to the marriage of Philip the Handsome to Joanna of Castile.
Anyway, Antwerp was the place to go as Amsterdam would remain a modest fishing village until the Dutch in the north started rebelling against their Spanish overlords over taxation and freedom of religion.
But I digress. Back to the Normans, to repel whose attacks Antwerp had been elevated to the rank of margravate by the way. This is kind of important because Flanders did also play a role especially in the Fourth Crusade as its count Baldwin IX was crowned the Latin Emperor of Constantinople.

If one steps back one realizes how crazy this is. South Africa used to be sanctioned for apartheid and now three decades later for opposing apartheid. Can the US really afford sanctioning the rest of the world? Apparently it thinks it can.

Our beautiful, brave soul, Ahed Tamimi.
” I hope the media stops showcasing the #Palestinians as someone begging for the world’s sympathy, prayers,and money. I hope they portray us as #Freedomfighters in order to gain fighter’s and partners in the struggle. I imagine a #FreePalestine as one embraces everyone….. to pray in AL-Aqsa, the Church of Holy Sepulcher, and the Church of Nativity together.”

Re: sanctioning feminists in France
Not so incingruous if you realize France has a new Prime Minister. Gabriel Attal. He is not a Muslim if one may put it that way.

First is bribe the individual, then sanction everyone to remove that individual. If that also fails, a drone in his head always works. For $5 the judge from Uganda voted against SA at ICJ. For $10 you think she wouldn’t have sold her kids for parts?
