Just an observation:
– Abdul-Malik al-Houthi estimates the tank losses at around double that 500+
– Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah is even more optimistic with his estimate at around 1000

The brits released all their former colonies to the people there.
Except for Palestine.
The zionists were able to force them into the mumbo jumbo deal we have today.
They went against their own long standing policy of how those colonies were released.
The question never should have made it to the league or the UN.

The significance of the date of the Balfour Declaration document cannot be overstated, especially its proximity to the October Revolution in Russia.
The success of Lenin’s coup was devastating to British morale, and almost all bets would have been on the Germans winning the war or forcing a settlement favorable to them, since Lenin’s insistence on suing for peace with Germany meant their troops fighting the Russians could be switched to the Western Front to tip the stalemate with the Allies in Germany’s favor.
The Balfour Declaration looks increasingly like the result of a backroom deal trading Palestine for a British victory, a deal that they were smart enough to get in writing.
Given the fact that the only way the British could have kept their promise would be a German and subsequent Ottoman defeat in the war, a promise made at the nadir of British military fortunes.
The subsequent unexpected German military collapse due to domestic insurrection led to subsequent German accusations of being stabbed in the back, and contributed to the German desire for revenge.

https://x.com/academic_la/status/1817973996626817441
Israeli sources are now confirming the horrific CNN and New York Times reports of the conditions in Sde Taiman. They include electric shocks, amputations due to bad conditions, severe beatings, , surgery without anesthesia, playing loud music until inmates ears bleed, deaths due to bad sanitary conditions, systematic torture and sexual abuse.
Sources in the Israeli justice department are saying the evidence is so clear and the cases so severe, it will be an open and shut case for international courts. This is a horror that will never be forgotten. A permanent stain on the state of Israel.
https://x.com/academic_la/status/1817957098166038782
Hundreds of protesters broke into Sde Taiman along with several right-wing protesters. They have been attacking soldiers and journalists and undermining the rule of law.
Some of the individuals who broke in were masked and heavily armed. Though they have not used those weapons.
A female journalist from Ynet said that she was “spat at and insulted, called a slut and a white for Arabs.” Other journalists were beaten, including the team from army radio (GALATZ).
The monster that Ben-Gvir created is eating Israel alive. It is undermining the function of the army, dividing the Israeli people and getting the country in serious trouble with the international community.

Shitraelis bombed their own children in Golan Heights to start a war.
First they came for the Palestinians, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Palestinian.
Then they came for the [repeat for a few dozen countries], and I did not speak out—because I was not a [].
Then they came for the Ukrainians, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Ukrainian.
And on and on, then they came for the anti-vaxxers, then they came for the white people, etc., etc.
Then they came to bomb their own children on a sport field, and I did not speak out—because I was not a jewish child on a sport field in Golan Heights.
Then they came for me with the vaccine, the bird flu, the graphene, the fluorine, the hormones, the lockdowns, the takeover of every public institution, the bank account closures, the poisoned food sources, the sabotaged food production and transport, the closed off gardening section at the hardware store, the bombings, the tonnes of aluminium, mercury, and more graphene in the chemtrails, the false flag attacks, the population replacement—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The I****L Project is OVER.
Of course it turns into chaos and anarchy until the New Sheriffs restore order and security for the Natives
I hope many have taken the advice I have been shouting (Yo! Hasbarats, Ziofascists and your families!) to leave in good time!
Perhaps having divested their stolen property to some fellow shmucks who arrived late to the debacle. The ones who will be left holding the worthless paper – cheated.
Like any criminal ponzi scheme based on impossible lies and returns.
For those illegal Apartheid Alien invaders – the time is almost over – you will get a few weeks to GET OUT -then it’s as UN refugees as Stateless Persons, to some resettlement Camps. Apparently the U.K. has some agreement with ,,checks notes…Rwanda!
(Hey Rwandans – don’t let them IN you’ll lose EVERYTHING)
Failing that it’s a final fight to the death as the Orange Staters promised in SA before showering by ther true yellow when it came to the crunch.
The Native Semitic Peoples will win back their lands.
They have a bunch of big boys with as big a guns as the Zionazis and their fascist backers – that will guarantee their security. Even from their ‘neighbours’ and the reinvented sultanate. Which seems to be the last chance gamble the shapeshifters have left!
Erdo !! I doubt he will have the support of his own population in such s fake sordid attempt for his Western Partners in Crime, as he tub thumps such a solution.

MK Ahmad Tibi (TA’AL): To insert a stick in a person’s rectum, is that legitimate???
MK Hanoch Milwidsky (Likud): Yes! If he is a Nukhba everything is legitimate to do him!
Some of you have probably already heard about the events in Sde Teiman concentration camp today: MPs came to arrest soldiers suspected of sodomizing a Palestinian captive, the soldiers in the base revolted, refused to leave and threatened to take active action against the MPs.
The idea of any soldier getting arrested for anything done to a Palestinian is incomprehensible to Israelis these days (even though the investigations are all cover-ups for the ICJ/ICC anyway), so the events caused a big outrage. Right-winger reservist soldiers and members of government arrived at Sde Teiman to try and thwart the arrests.
In this clip we see Likud Member of Knesset Hanoch Milwidsky announcing a “voting strike” in response to the attempts to arrest the rapist soldiers.

Where have I heard of this before?
Is it Judaism that propagates this mind-virus?
Ah, yes …

Matthew 27:15-26
The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.
16 And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
18 For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up.
19 Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.”
20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”
22 Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!”
23 And he said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!”


Once again, they free the murderers and persecute the victims.
They have well emulated the lie upon which they were created.

“Israel could be the first country in history to start a civil war over the right of its military to rape prisoners…”
I took the liberty to reproduce a small but important part of Max Blumenthal’s scathing tweet about the Sde Teiman riot, presented as the logical consequence of the Hasbarats fabrications about the alleged “Hamas mass rapes” and the complicity of Western & Izzy MSM:
“The sadistic torture that has taken place at Sde Teiman and other Israeli dungeons was undeniably fueled by the state-led propaganda hoax accusing Hamas of “systemic sexual violence” on October 7. Legacy Western outlets like the NY Times, BBC, The Guardian, along with the voice of Israel’s “enlightened public,” Haaretz, legitimized the hoax, and have refused to retract or even correct reports that were comprehensively debunked.
(…)
The same media outlets that propagated the Hamas “mass rape” hoax are predictably downplaying the documented gang rape of a Palestinian prisoner. Haaretz has referred to the rape in a front page headline as mere “abuse.” Currently, there is nothing on the NY Times front page about the incident, while the Washington Post refers cryptically to “detainee abuse” in its coverage, which is buried at the bottom of its website. Prominent liberal Zionists, meanwhile, are pronouncing Israel’s “democracy” and its international image as the ultimate victims of the crisis, and not the Palestinians who have endured rape and torture at the hands of the occupation’s enforcers.”
The whole tweet here > https://x.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1818152941804470725

The resemblance of the Israeli fanatics beating the door of the prison to the story of Lot in the Bible (Genesis 19 ) is uncanny.
“Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
“Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
Maybe they’ll share the same fate as the Sodomites?

About this thing with the berserk and extremely mentally ill who are trying to protect the IDF soldiers who are accused of raping the prisoner, I can only say two things – I suspect every fucking guard at the prisons either participates in this activity or approves of it, and we already know for sure it has not happened to only one prisoner.
The other thing I would say is that my main concern at this point is for the Palestinian prisoners being held in the prisons. This rabble of psychotic madmen (and I would guess madwomen) are likely to try to break into the prisons and take their anger out on the Palestinians inside. I am sure they are already being treated worse than ever by the guards right this very minute, as the guards will take some some kind of sick revenge out on the prisoners.
Do you suppose any Israeli will see to it that the prisoners are not further abused? Do you think the prisoners are even being fed right now?
My thoughts right now are only for the Palestinians and constantly for the Palestinians.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously insisted that humans inhabit “the best of all possible worlds” — a spirit of irrepressible optimism which was mocked by Dr. Pangloss of Voltaire’s Candide, and which was key to Leibniz’s illumination of differential calculus. He would charge ahead with efficient techniques and a blind faith that, whatever troubles might arise from infinities and infinitessimals, we’ll surely sort it out somehow, someday.

WTF is this “right to exist” anyway? You wrote it, but if you question the whole nation-state concept, people’s eyes glaze over.
I’ve said I expect ecological catastrophe — always arriving sooner than expected, like all bad news — to reshape human habitation on this planet. Perfectly poised for both heat and humidity, Pakistan is probably ground zero for persistent wet-bulb temperatures exceeding the biological tolerance of humans, while Palestine is not far behind. IOF makes Gaza uninhabitable today, while tomorrow — sooner than expected — EEI (Earth’s Energy Imbalance) should make all of Palestine uninhabitable.

Sure. Belief is a curious thing. So boom canada no longer exists. What now? The genocidal tendencies still exist. Mission accomplished I guess

canadians? Bro u just cancelled them. The same mindset you seem to apply is the same mindset zionism does. That is to say one sided and therefore not a solution. If the people who still exist where canada no longer does have a problem or oppourtunity then so do the people who live where isreal used to be. No? Playing well with others is the only hoop isreal needs to jump through to join a peaceful world community. The area was mostly prosperous and peaceful until the zionists made their power grab, i see no reason it cant be so again.

*** Holding off on the cheers until the Zios start shooting each other in the streets.***
A sensible line to take, since thanks to the Israelis sharing an unhinged — and somewhat bogus — theocratic identity they might still end up (© David Cameron) “all in it together”.
Pity that Biden/Harris, Trump and Starmer will not be forced to comment.

Members of the Druze community, many of whom have refused Israeli citizenship, said they rejected any retaliatory aggression by Israel.
In a statement issued by the Religious and Temporal Commission in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, residents said they opposed “attempts to exploit Majdal Shams’ name as a political platform, at the expense of the blood of our children”.
“Based on our Arab, Islamic, monotheistic beliefs, we reject that a single drop of blood be shed in the name of revenge for our children,” the statement added.

This back and forth is making the story about you, not the victims and monsters in poor beleaguered Occupied Palestine. 🙂 Probably best for all to let it go and join the new topic. It’ll give us time and perspective to collect ourselves and come correct to this marathon of horrors once again.
Come, let’s go! 🙂

This piece from Mondoweiss yesterday is a must read. The “ordinary Israelis” he refers to in the article are the grunts of the IOF, fair enough, but I think the indictment is much broader. From the polls I’ve seen, which unfortunately I don’t have links for at this moment (anyone who does, please post them), more than two-thirds of the Israeli public (I.e., not immediate combatants) are completely behind the genocidal actions. Chosen people my ass!
