When it’s open season for shooting Muslims in Palestine, it’s open season for killing Jews in Palestine.
You bar-philosophers forget the old cartoon of a rabbit with a rifle shooting the hunter.
I explained to you bar-philosophers before , that in Ramadhan , a non-fighting month , the Muslims are told to fight those who fight them even inside the precincts of the Holy Mosque in Ramadhan.
This the Jewish and Muslim law of Qisas, equality. You may mot start a war, but if someone makes war against you, you fight them with equality.
The same rules apply to the first , law abiding victim of violence as the first aggressor chose to use against them.
Westerners always think all the rules are stacked against Islam. Dream on darlings. Your virtue-signalling is like a motorist who “””””” accidentally “””””” kills someone by driving through a red light.
The pedestrian is entitled to feel safe crossing the road. If the driver feels entitled by road rage to use their car as a murder weapon, then Islam gives permission for qisas, equal revenge.
Allah then informs the Muslim that in Qisas is Life. Fear of death is the only thing that will make some people respect other people’s lives.

I think it’s much broader and deeper than that. There are red lights flashing all over the place that the elites are doubling down on the “antisemitism” label for anyone opposing the genocide in progress. At least in “America”. It doesn’t matter how many dead civilians we see on our cell phones every day. I’m cynical, but even I am taken aback by this.

Yemen not only have given the ultimatum to expand the shipping sanctions into Meditranian water but also started a game of Carrot and Stick with Saudis.
https://tn.ai/3078373
(Machine translation)
According to the international group of Tasnim news agency, in the shadow of the Sana’a government’s continued warnings to the aggressors about any foolish move against Yemen, “Ali Al-Qahum”, one of the senior members of the Ansarullah movement’s political office, announced today by publishing a tweet on the X social network that any base or territory that is invaded to Yemen from there will be a legitimate goal for the Yemeni armed forces.
He emphasized that the locations from which the aggression against Yemen will begin will become a strategic and vital target for the Yemeni armed forces in the framework of the expansion of the operation scene and target bank, and these forces will target the depth and economically important areas of the aggressor.
Referring to the change in power equations and balances, this official of Ansarullah warned the aggressors about the consequences of any hostile movement against Yemen and emphasized them to learn from the consequences of their aggression against Yemen for the past 9 years.
Al-Kahhoum further warned the mercenaries who serve the enemy’s goals and told them that if you were the winning card, you would have been valuable in the past 9 years. The result of betting on mercenaries is loss.
He also announced about the peace process that achieving peace and its implementation will serve the interests of Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the entire region and will lead to security and stability.
Pointing out that peace leads to an end to tensions and prevents the expansion of conflicts, this Yemeni official emphasized the need to prioritize common interests and their development and change the direction from hostility to friendship and declared that public good and interest in It will be the same.
Previously, the Supreme Political Council of Yemen, in a meeting held yesterday under the chairmanship of Mehdi Al-Mashat, the head of this council, warned about any hostile action of the United States that endangers the stability and security of Yemen and emphasized that the consequences of this aggression by the United States are only limited to the borders. It will not be Yemen.
The Supreme Political Council of Yemen emphasized that the country’s decisive position in supporting Palestine against the occupation regime’s brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip, which is carried out under the unlimited support of the United States and the West, is firm.
Also, in this meeting, Mehdi Al-Mashat, the head of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, advised Saudi Arabia to prioritize its national interests in the process of peace negotiations with Yemen over the interests of the United States, so that this process can be completed in a positive way.

I rather agree with the American professors interviewed on Youtube, like Mearesheimer but not only, that the heavy police clampdown on the student demos in the States was a disastrous mistake. It’ll all calm down now the university year is finished, but it’ll be back again in the autumn when the students start again. In particular, the Democratic Convention is in Chicago again this year. What a perfect chance to repeat 1968. Nobody could conceivably resist the opportunity.

Mark2. Don’t worry, mate. Look at the Goldsmiths’ climbdown today. This is from Skwawkbox
“Six months of demos and five weeks of sit-ins see university climb down in face of students’ determination
“Students at London’s Goldsmiths university have won a huge victory after months of solidarity with Palestinians, forcing their university to accept their demand to divest from involvement with the Israeli occupation and to set up scholarships for Palestinian students.
“Organiser Fatima Zaid explained in a Twitter/X thread what the students have achieved, including the end of an investment contract with a firm closely connected to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu – and a review of the university’s use of the unfit (and non-definitional) so-called ‘IHRA definition’ of antisemitism, that has been widely used to suppress criticism of Israel…”
The Demos are spreading rapidly. They will soon engulf Germany too, I suspect. Here in Canada University of Toronto students are now encamped-in the teeth of vicious Zionist authorities. and in Montreal:
“In Quebec, students at McGill University have set up an encampment on campus and have been there since Saturday.
“Both the university and the Premier of Quebec, Francois Legault, have asked police to intervene to remove the student protesters. The students, however, say that they are unfazed by these threats of police violence.
“All of these communications and these intimidation tactics, the threats of police intervention, even the recent injunction are just a distraction from the real reason why we’re here, which is, because there’s an ongoing genocide, that is being perpetrated with impunity by the Zionist regime (of Israel). Our universities, McGill and Concordia are both complicit in that genocide and, occupation,” said a representative of Students in Solidarity with Palestinian Human Rights …”
The stupidest thing the arrogant and blind ruling class could have done is what they have done: they are not just encouraging more sit ins and teach ins but seeling Israel’s fate.

Definite sudden alignment of all Zionist run media . Protests are not anti mass murder, they are now Marxist. And any one standing up to them is a patriot. Interesting. Despite the frat boys defending a flag and the professor Jewish spy that works for the NYPD helping police evict the sit in . It’s all reds under the bed and rally behind the flag. Sorta lame propaganda angle. At this point you have to say is that all they got? Seems to me the protests have gone much farther than the think tanks predicted and had some preprepared responses for. The police heavy actions prove this. Germany France usa all showing the fear ruling class have as narrative management fails. Australia had a meeting between gov jewish groups and university CEOs who refused to shut down protestson campus. I was surprised the pressure didn’t get results, considering the press are lockstep on protests are terrorists vibe

Below is a short Xinhuanet posting that contextualizes the latest offer being shown Hamas

CAIRO, May 4 (Xinhua) — The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has sent a delegation to Cairo in response to an Egypt-proposed initiative for a truce with Israel in the besieged Gaza Strip, two Egyptian sources told Xinhua Saturday on condition of anonymity.
“Egypt was informed by Hamas that a delegation from the movement was heading to Cairo on Saturday with the intention of concluding and implementing a truce agreement with Israel,” they said.
Hamas responded to the initiative proposed by Egypt after getting Egyptian guarantees that it could lead to stopping the conflict in Gaza, they added.
Cairo, they said, warned Hamas of the escalation of the situation in Gaza if an agreement was not reached.
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns will go to Egypt as part of the tripartite guarantors of the deal, namely Egypt, the United States and Qatar, they noted.

I posit that the tripartite guarantors of the deal are not guarantee capable…..show me a deal with China/Russia at the table and I will perk up.
I can’t believe Hamas will end the conflict in a manner that puts the genie back in the bottle.

Do those bar philosophers who condemn
Islam’s law of qisas / equality think that the thousands of demonstrators for a ceasefire feel a sudden compassion for Muslims?
If so, what are they doing in Israel, an outpost of Imperial colonialism and a refuge FROM persecution?
Is it logical to place oneself into the epicentre of colonial expansionist in West Asia and also to start annoying the locals AGAIN after what happened last time in Europe in WW2?
No. The left wing of Israeli society understands qisas, that people will treat you as you treat them , and if you kill 100,000 of Them , they will kill 100,000 of You.
Are they pro-Palestinian? No.
Are they pro-peaceful living? Yes.
This genocide will ultimately destroy Israel if it does not stop IMMEDIATELY. Likud needs to be bulldozed alive into the rubble.
Then saner leaders who understand the consequences of genocide need to be placed in government under emergency powers to start to address the Starvation.
The alternative, if Likud and Biden and Sunak continue this genocide, is the obliteration of Israel , physically, diplomatically, spiritually.
As if it had never existed.

Hamas are sending a deligation to Egypt for talks. All well and good.
But how the hell will they avoid walking in to an Israel terrorist attack, being struck by a missile, as happened in Iraq killing Iranian delagates in a consulte.

For Hamas accepting a truce now would not be a bad deal because it would oblige some intl actors to show how genuinely they want to push for a Palestinian state, i.e. evacuation of a number of colonies etc. Plus some intl legal bodies would also have to be consulted wrt the atrocities committed. It would actually be fatal for natanyahu

Now that Western democracy is controlled by algorithms, Western politicians no longer make to please their electorate, because the electorate no longer choose them.
Western electorates have no more say in government policy than Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Politics now is purely a matter for insiders and their purely political loyalties to those who fund them.
The concept of democracy is dead after a few hundred years, workers rights/ socialism being born with the Chartists around 1800. In employment also the sole intellectual input is pre-selected , Conservative ideas on how to maximise profitability over quality.
With this entirely monetised world, we enter a new Dark Age of Ignorance whose purpose is to obliterate the light of Islam, its alternative explanation of our existence and its alternative view of the value of human existence.
In my ventures into the world of the rich, I found only adultery and disillusion, as described by oldhippie above. The two ignorance, the ignorance of those dispossessed by tyranny and the ignorance of the possessed tyrants. Possessed as in rich, but also as in possessed by demons of unrestricted bad behaviour.
In Palestine, we clearly see the fruit of 10 to 30 years of abandonment of democracy, consultation of the people.
The dispossessed starve and wherever
they turn for safety, they are massacred. The possessed, are also
possessed in the sense of being insane.
Two cures are available. 1/ the light of God’s current manual for human existence, the Qur’an, and 2/ consultation of the demos , the people.
There are by definition no cures for us, the now-dispossessed , except in the light of scripture, and the light of free speech. Likud is the spearhead of a Western Crusade against Islam. Our second cure is the de-automation of Democracy by algorithms programmed by the possessed.
Western enlightenment was the result of ending the suppression of the Gospels by the church. And Democracy was the result of ending spiritual ignorance by the Church.
At the moment we’re being kettled into silence by the insane.

For Yemen why do you not use Yemeni sources first.
Here:
Yemeni armed forces announce start of implementation of fourth phase of escalation
[03/May/2024]
First, the targeting of all ships that violate the ban decision of Israeli navigation and that heading to the ports of occupied Palestine from the Mediterranean Sea in any reachable area within our ample zone.
Second, implementation of this comes into effect immediately and from the moment this statement is announced.
Third: If the Israeli enemy intends to launch an aggressive military operation against Rafah, the Yemeni Armed forces will impose comprehensive sanctions on all ships and companies that are related to supplying and entering the occupied Palestinian ports of any nationality and will prevent all ships of these companies from passing through the armed forces’ operation zone, regardless of their destination.
The Yemeni armed forces, based on the support of the beloved Yemeni people and all the free people of the nation, will not hesitate to prepare for broader and stronger stages of escalation until the aggression is stopped and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.

I don’t know if I would trust Israeli sources even in this, especially as they then go on to extol their own interception rate.
Posted by: Jonathan W | May 4 2024 13:35 utc | 487
Yeah. The only thing I believe about missile interception is if you manage to set off a big enough explosion near enough to the incoming, then maybe you can affect it, or maybe not; and the faster they go, the harder it gets to do. Even with Katushyas you don’t get 100%. 90% is great work. So send 100, you get ~ten hits. If interceptors cost 10xincoming, the math gets pretty bad. AI bullshit will do nothing to fix that problem. And then there are slow, cheap, FPV drones with not much metal in them, so hard to “see”. It’s a new paradigm, all right.

You’re going to take me off topic briefly, or not really, but to answer your question: You may think climate crisis is a hype but there is still an environmental crisis, and crisis is a weak word.
So yes, in a way, Gaza, Ukraine, the way the empire is flouting international law, also shows how little the empire cares about the biosphere, about future & living beings.
Because to resolve these crises, we need to sit down together and negotiate, war avoids this hassle.
It doesn’t solve, but it shows where the priorities lie.
It allows capitalism to move on, just as the Ukraine distracted us from the pharmaceutical industry’s scams.
