Media Claim "Hamas Rejects ..." Deal That's Not Offered
Axios claims that Hamas rejects a ceasefire deal with Israel:
Hamas rejects new U.S. proposal for Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal
The opener:
Hamas on Sunday rejected an updated U.S. proposal for a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for moving the goalposts and the U.S. for indulging him.
Seven paragraphs later we learn:
Zoom in: More specifically, Hamas objects to the fact that the proposal doesn't include a permanent ceasefire or comprehensive Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
There is no ceasefire deal.
How then could Hamas reject a ceasefire deal?
There is only a potential agreement on a pause in the fighting to hand over to Israel the hostages it wants to retrieve.
Which is nothing anyone in the situation in Gaza could agree to.

Another factor about the occupation state is that north afr jews were looked down by ashkenazim (who didnt and still rarely marry them since considered as 'half arabs' or 'mixed blood') and that it is precisely the kind of religious extremism invented in the late 90s in the US with zio xian support and funding that has led to their unity.
Yet another instance of the vicious circle between nationalism and religious extremism.

Israel's ultimate goal is to completely monopolise that land by erasing everything with a Palestinian tag.
It became a monster coupled with US imperialism.
Someone has to stop it. If Iran says it will, so be it.
It would take an event that would impress upon the complete destruction of Israeli military.
Unless that happens, they will not stop eroding on the Palestinian territory forever.

Somehow bibi, biden, vdl, scholz and macron have something in common: they hold to a very thin branch, after they have actually lost or been convicted. The scandal is so big, they have invested so much in the next revolutions, AI and vax induced eugenics plus depopulation, that they pretend they cannot leave.
I do believe they will have to leave.

"....a pause in the fighting..."
a pause in the fighting, so israel can get back its 'hostages'
and then israel will go right on bombing the fuck out of poor Gaza,
killing tens of thousands more innocent people, and committing all sorts of horrendous war crimes against humanity
not to mention all the ethnic cleansing and war crimes being committed in the West Bank right now
Hamas has said no, and frankly that's the end of that.
I have no idea why Hamas or anyone for that matter would bother 'negotiating' with israel at this point. Not to mention the non-compliant USA and its slavish allies.
Who can believe at this point that the USA and israel are acting in good faith, come on.
I understand the need for a ceasefire so that aid can get through and the forced starvation end, but honestly, All this will be decided by other means....mostly on the battlefield

Realistically, after all the devastation in Gaza, how can any of those hostages still be alive?
It's clear, after the Hannibal inspired slaughter of Israeli civilians by their own side on Oct 7, it was never about them then and it certainly isn't now.

There should be a manual on reading and interpreting the MSM. First paragraph in that manual should be: Every article from MSM is about promoting certain narrative. There might be something truthful inside, but it is not necessary. The essence is in the underlying message.
In this case underlying message is: Palestinians are guilty for this mess. They are bad. Israel is good.

Tony Blinken is an anti-diplomat or fake diplomat. His job is to pretend to engage in negotiations, fail and then open the door to war without it being obvious war was Plan A for low information voters and the public. He knows, better than anyone else actually, that Netanyahu has no intention of letting this war and the opportunities it gives to ethnically cleanse Gaza, potentially now even the West Bank and get the war between the US and Iran he has been promising to get for Israel for years and which would save him politically and personally. So far Israel has taken all the downside from increased internationally scrutiny and committing the worst crimes it has ever done since the Nakba. Since nobody in Washington is game to actually stop them (Quite the opposite) he is of course going to keep going in search of the upside having said all the costs upfront.
Since October 7th he has been doing De Gaulle like "I have understood you!" tours of the Levant, to Cairo and Amman to sure up those regimes from dissent due to the increasingly illegitimacy they are piling up from continuing to be friendly to Israel and the US despite all they are doing by making it look like they have summoned the mighty secretary of state to explain himself.
Blinken is also doing this, as he has done in the previous couple of jaunts in order to make it look like the Biden admin is the total opposite of what it is, a neocon-infested counter-revolution against Trump's lack of enthusiasm for a Syria campaign. He needs to sure up against dissent at home too (Particularly since the longer this goes on the more people start to wake up the neocons, particularly younger generations who didn't live through the brief period after their total takeover of US foreign policy after Iraq where there was much debate and naming of them) and needs to be seen to be trying to bring this to an end even if all he actually does is just put pressure on people to send the weapons to Israel faster. Here is a report that even made it to CNN about him putting pressure on people to bypass normal procedure (That may be seriously illegal) of congressional review that itself would barely be two weeks to ship tank shells to Israel faster. (Clearly this is defensive you see, to defend against the infamous Hamas tank legions) This was long after he had started to pretend to be concerned about Israel's actions and supposedly was attempting to get them to stop. So not only did he not do anything to pressure them, he pressured others to give them more weapons faster long after it was clear that the target was the civilian population and their cities/towns.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/08/politics/state-department-congress-tank-munitions-sale/index.html
The US State Department transmitted an emergency declaration to lawmakers late Friday night for the sale of thousands of munitions to Israel, bypassing the standard 20-day period that congressional committees are typically afforded to review such a sale, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told CNN.The declaration followed a request by the State Department earlier in the week for Congress to approve the sale of 45,000 shells to Israel for its Merkava tanks. The source added that the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which have oversight over military sales, had been under “pressure” from the State Department to approve the request quickly amid Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
The committees typically have 20 days to review foreign military sales, allowing lawmakers to raise questions about a transaction and delay it if needed. But late Friday night, the State Department transmitted an emergency declaration to the committees for over 13,000 of the tank shells, worth about $106 million, for immediate delivery to Israel, the source said Saturday.
Not long after this the Israelis were caught on camera shooting up a packed and clearly marked UN shelter possibly with one of 34,000 shells, killing many civilians.
Several killed in Israeli attack on UN shelter housing 800 in southern GazaUNRWA official fears ‘mass casualties’ after Israeli tank shelling on one of its facilities in Khan Younis.
…
US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said the attack was “incredibly concerning”.
“We deplore today’s attack on UNRWA’s training centre,” he said. “Civilians must be protected and the protected nature of UN facilities must be respected.”
If it's incredibly concerning why did Blinken go out of his way and breach protocol so hard even CNN couldn't help reporting it to skip the mere 20 day rubber stamp on export of tank shells?
I'm not sure how much he personally contributed to the inane histrionic response of the Biden admin to October 7th but the fact that the first things he said when he arrived in Israel was that he was coming there not just as US secretary of state but "as a Jew".
Blinken is a new kind of neocon, not the type we're used to who snarls like Nuland or sneers like the Kagans or Bill Kristol or reveals nothing but a psychopathic belligerence like Rumsfeld. He looks like a bank manager, looks constantly insecure and cultivates a goofy affable style seemingly based on Jerry Seinfeld in the 90s (Though we've heard how he feels about Gaza lately) so he can do these fake diplomatic missions and people won't call him out as the extreme Zionist he is and enabler of anything Israel wants to go in pursuit of Zionism.
People need to stop enabling him and call him out for the fake diplomat he is and the con job he is being allowed to operate. Because sadly it works to some degree. He helps mollify the American public's outrage and he allows the "two state solution peace process" cover that allowed the colonisation and now increasing ethnic cleansing of the West Bank to continue for 25 years.

You'd certainly think Jews would know how to haggle. When your current position is that much weaker than your starting position, fix your offer before you get kicked out entirely! But no, US "Democrats" are backing Israel with only superficial criticism. Aside from Muslims, blacks, and the young turning away from that stupid and evil path, they need to worry that President Trump implements a more certain solution than jail for them.

But, comrades, you have to hand it to the official media, they know how to bullshit the population. There are, as we all know, that in this Israeli/Palestinian crisis that Israel wants to ethnically cleanse (or just kill) all Palestinians on the land "from the river to the sea" and without Washington pumping the brakes that would have happened by now. Blinken may be a Zionist but so is almost everyone else in power because Zionist Jews have what all of us who critique the ruling elite don't have and that is raw power. They can delete any Congressperson they choose and can ruin the career of people within government and many industries--we will see how deep that goes.
Blinken's and Washington's job is to slow down ethnic cleansing so it doesn't look bad for the Empire. It's all about proper cosmetics. This is the policy, i.e., don't make the Empire look that bad. The Empire is still very strong and still bribes and threatens world leaders as it sees fit. There is nothing moral about any of this. The old post-WWII attitudes disappeared forever after 9/11 (how conveeeeenient) and there is no source of alternatives in the official media, the universities, the popular culture that has the potency to put a dent in any of this. Power, remember, is the ability to help friends and punish enemies and those of us who believe in some version of humanism and/or spirituality don't have much of that sauce.

To be clear almost the entire Maerican administration are full-on war criminals. Their abhorrent backing of nazisnin Ukraine is exceeded only by their aiding and abetting the genocide in Palestine. I wonder if these monsters like Blinken realize they will be remembered as modern day Ribbentrops, Goebbels, etc. They will be known forever as the cowardly scumbag murderers they are. Certainly none of them xould be accused of having the genius of a Guderian. Boys playing at war, religious extremists and callous crimial calculation to retain power. Lesser men indeed, there only because better ones don't sully themselves with chasing power. But their example might make it necessary for the righteous to arise. In fact, it is increasingly obvious that the good will be required again to purge the evil from the hearts of our societies, before they can embroil us all in a catacysmic war to protect their precious money.

I think there are certain less than subtle indicators that the new crop of superficialist, but pretend religious conservatives, like JD Vance (unsurprisingly a Tolkien fanatic) see Palestinians, the autochthonous population of Gaza, as orc-like halfbreeds or degenerated Jews (having traduced the religion of their ancestors), while Ashkenazim are like elves or dwarves, who have come to simply reclaim "what is rightfully theirs after so many centuries..." of barbarous despotism. However, while the analogy is doubtless beguiling to some, at the end of day, what it's ultimately about is the inveterately northern European imagination (a legacy, in turn, of the antediluvian Indo-European caste system).

The report for today is that the War Cabinet and Bibi and the IDF have to be incredibly frustrated that Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, PIJ, PFLP, and the Houthis have yet to mount their full blown retaliation attacks on Israel in retribution for the political assassinations in Tehran and Beruit.
Bibi had counted on an immediate massive response which would then entail a massive direct US support operation. None of that is materializing.
Meanwhile disgust in the west over the continuing massacre of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the WB continues......Israel loses ground daily in the court of world opinion.....especially when UN schools and shelters are coming under direct attack from IDF airstrikes and tank fire and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are daily sent under threat to tent cities totally unable to feed, cloth, and care for them. Its the largest engineered humanitarian crisis in this century (other than the US debacle in Iraq).
Expect a false flag now from the IDF to cover for a preemptive strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities............perhaps a dirty bomb incident blamed on the Iranians.........one thing is for sure...the longer the Iranians do not act the more desperate Bibi becomes.........

Always remember this political fun fact:
- Toni Blinken (sky) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the George Soros Open Society Foundation (where he worked for years before his appointments to the various US State Department posts he held in the Clinton, Obama and now Biden administrations.
- His father served on the Open Society Foundation Board of Directors for years, and was a close associate of George Soros.
- George Soros is one of the most prominent financial backers of the neo Nazi regime in Kieve and has personally bankrolled Volo Zelenskyy.........and we have seen Blinken make numerous trips to Kieve to continue to support the expansion of NATO and the War on Russians in the Donbas............
- The US State Department is now really only a projector for the Open Society Foundation....sad to report.......

To be fair the three parties (US, Israel, Hamas) have different goals.
The US wants a (temporary) ceasefire so it can look good before the election.
Israel wants to finish ethnic cleansing Gaza.
Hamas, as B says, is only interested in a permanent ceasefire or comprehensive Israeli withdrawal.
As for the AXIOS article, its just propaganda spin on failed empire diplomacy that didnt achieve anything.
Once you know the background, everything is predicable and easy to understand.

I had an industrial customer, Av, who moved out of Israel in the 1970's and started his own business on the West Coast. A hard bargainer, with the whole grab-bag of methods to beat you down on price. Always a chiseler, nickel-and-diming until he grudgingly believed he squeezed the last bit of juice out of a deal. But while he was caught up in the small things, I pocketed more than my fair share.
One day, when we were walking through his warehouse, Av stopped and said "How do you say 'Eff You' in Yiddish?" Gee, I said, I don't know.
Av gives me this disarming grin, reaches his open hand towards me and says, "Trust me."

Fake "USA" negotiations to keep genocide going.
The Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Iran should put pressure on UK/US vulnerable logistics and bases in the area from Cypres, Red Sea, Iran gulf, Arabian peninsula, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, etc.
Hitting a proxy like Israel is useless, the genocide comes from the USA support of proxies like what happened in Yemen, Syria.
Once the collapse of US/UK in the region happens the proxies will fail or switch sides just like Asia(Vietnam), Niger(Sahel), Afghanistan. It will go fast when the US/UK see its assets hit. UK is the weakest in the region. Pound the royalist UK perverts first. The balloon will then pop.

UK is the "France" of the middle east and like in the Sahel Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, pushed France out first the UK midget armed forces bases can be pushed out first in the mideast to get the USA to leave.
The mideast US proxies will then collapse or switch sides. Easier than hitting proxy Israel to no effect as has been done. Smash UK in Cypres, red sea bases, etc, watch them collapse.

Absurd! Time to engage in an ethnic cleansing murderous rampage of their own. By terrorism, take every inch of stolen land, bomb water, fuel, oil, embassies, airports, schools, hospitals, libraries, & every other building in Tel Aviv and throughout the occupied Palestine State. Start killing journalists, Uber drivers, bomb synagogues, universities and day care centers.
You never know where a Zio terrorist is hiding in the civilian population…

Thanks for the solid info on Blinken, Winken and $tinken's deep connexion with Our Little Georgie of Our $orrows. Your posting clears up a lot of flak and garbage regarding the role of "our" $ecretary of $tate.
If one delves deeply into the career of Soros (another assumed name by one of the Name-Stealers) it rapidly becomes evident that this 14 Y.O. "refugee" found his way into London and "magically" made all the right connexions in quickly getting high-end educational opportunities and after that development, immediately became a "player" on the market in London.
Boy genius? Think again. His father was a well connected Jewish "capo" who worked closely with both the fascist Arrow-Cross Hungarians as well as the Gestapo themselves in removing the bulk of Hungary's Jewish people into the camps in 1944. As an avid Zionist, he was the fixer between the Zionist schemers to bring their most promising younger men into Palestine...thus pleasing the Gestapo in getting them the hell outta Europe.
When those numerous Jews were removed from Hungary, most of their assets were "left behind". One can readily surmise that those assets were scooped up by cooperating parties with similar agendas. Where else could have Our Little Georgie at the age of 14 have been able to make his rapid trajectory into economic skullduggery? After his rise in the Sceptred Isle, Soros promptly hightailed it to the U$$A and somehow managed to quickly get a seat at the Stock Exchange. Yet another rapid rise in monetary clout developed as he became the "Boy Wonder" of Wall $treet...always appearing to be one step ahead of market developments. He soon achieved a huge following amongst trendies.
$oro$ and his son Alex are "Made Men", no doubt. My interpretation is that his agency was created by the Rottenchild Crime Clan and other agents and frontmen for the Sanhedrin, doing business behind the scenes since their "education" in Babylon some 2,500 years ago.
Father and son, the Soros are, in essence, the Sanhedrin's "Gauleiters" in the Ruptured Republic. In the world of reality on the politico-economic level, there are no happy accidents.

When truth is stranger than fiction!
Let’s have some fun.
Blinken as the foretold Damian from the classic film Omen which introduced the world to the Number of the Beast!
‘a supposed quote from the Book of Revelation featured in The Omen ("When the Jews return to Zion and a comet rips the sky and the Holy Roman Empire rises, then you and I must die; from the eternal sea he rises, creating armies on either shore, turning man against his brother, 'til man exists no more") is not in fact in that book. ‘
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Omen
‘Connected’ much? He could easily be the role model for the film Omen!
There’s no mystery about why he cares more for his ‘people and stolen land and the Ukrops adventurism.
They are connected directly. As as the influence over the DC State.
Shapeshifters hiding in plain sight.
Wiki can’t lie about such basic facts:-
‘Blinken was born on April 16, 1962, in Yonkers, New York, to Jewish parents. His mother was Judith (née Frehm) Blinken and his father was Donald M. Blinken, a co-founder of the private equity firm Warburg Pincus who later served as the U.S. ambassador to Hungary.[7][8][9] His maternal grandparents were Hungarian Jews.[10] Blinken's uncle, Alan Blinken, served as the U.S. ambassador to Belgium.[11][12] His paternal grandfather, Maurice Henry Blinken, was an early backer of Israel who studied its economic viability,[13] and his great-grandfather was Meir Blinken, a Yiddish writer.[14]
[Donald] Blinken was born on November 11, 1925, in Yonkers, New York,[5] the son of Maurice Blinken and his wife, Ethel (Horowitz). Maurice Blinken was an early backer of Israel and founded the American Palestine Institute which helped persuade the United States to back the creation of Israel. [6][7][8] His father and mother were of Jewish descent and his father was from Kiev, the Russian Empire, who, according to Antony Blinken, "fled pogroms in Russia".[9]
In 1950, Pisar worked for the United Nations in New York and Paris. He returned to Washington in 1960 to become a member of John F. Kennedy's economic and foreign policy task force. He was also an advisor to the State Department, the Senate and House committees.[2]
Pisar's legal clients included many Fortune 500 companies and business leaders of the 20th and 21st century.[7] His books have been translated into many languages.[2]
As the longtime lawyer and confidant of Robert Maxwell, Pisar was possibly the last person to speak to the publisher (who maintained links to the British MI6, the Soviet KGB and the Israeli Mossad) before he apparently fell to his death from his luxury yacht in November 1991.
Among distinctions, he was a Grand Officer of the French Legion of Honour by then President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2012 and a Commander of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland. In March 1995, Pisar was appointed an Honorary Officer of the Order of Australia by Queen Elizabeth, "for service to international relations and human rights". ‘

We must ask ourselves what is the underlying purpose for a full third of the U$$A's combat fleet hovering in perilous waters.
The answer is couched in that question. FALSE FLAG. Somehow, those who rule the Collective Wa$te and consider the Zionist Entity in Occupied Palestine consider that group of interlopers and land-thieves as their prized pet...one to be guarded by all the forces of their controlled nations.
The Zionist Entity by itself has NO actual agency. Yet Nuts n' Yahoos puts on the great show before that joint session of Congre$$, where the inmates cheered and clapped like a pod of trained seals. Quite the acts, I would say. One always needs to delve away into the shadows and behind the scenes.
"Remember the Maine"; "Remember the Lusitania"; "Remember Pearl Harbor"; "Remember the Tonkin Gulf incident"; "Remember the 911 Inside Job"; "Remember those Weapons of Mass Destruction". Flip all those remembrances into a sack and you should get the picture.

1) …. great-grandfather was Meir Blinken, a Yiddish writer……

Thank you b. It is important that your recovery allows you to bring such corrections front and center. Perception is nine/tenths of something, and the need to know is critical at present.
I will report two seemingly unrelated events I just picked up on my weather channel -- an intensity 7 earthquake on the eastern side of Russia triggering a volcano to 'briefly' erupt with tsunami warnings issued; and a wrecked superyacht from a storm in the Greek islands, one dead and an important tycoon reported missing. I don't have details on either but just take them as signs that this is going to be an unusual week.
Last night I heard it announced that the Democratic convention in Chicago is about to commence. What they will be deciding (as everything proceeds as if set in concrete now) I have no idea. What sort of reaction the US public will be having -- no idea on that either. Just thunderstorms ahead locally by the weekend after another hot, dry spell. Par for the course here in my area.

The Axis of Resistance has placed IS/US/UK in a classic double bind: They appear to have de facto agreed to hold off/or eliminate altogether major retaliatory actions re the assassinations so as to not jeopardize the so called "peace" talks. If IS/US agree to a permanent ceasefire, all of Gaza available to its inhabitants and Rafah and the Philadelphia corridor an integral part of Gaza territory with unimpeded egress and ingress, then Netanyahu will fall, the ICC/UN/the Hague and a large compliment of international journalists will have full access to the carnage, more probably than not resulting many indictments in international courts. If they do not agree to Hamas terms, IS/US/UK will face a disastrous four front war which will seriously erode the Israeli nation state but also add to already high levels of political instability in US/UK with implications for the highest levels of governance. Remember US/UK are also concurrently embroiled in a proxy war with Russia via the Ukraine - armament of all types in short supply; also, both countries on the verge of economic implosion via high levels of debt, currency debasement, high levels of pleb dissatisfaction with ever higher inflation.
IS/UK/US can instigate a false flag but with high resolution SAT monitoring the actual perpetrators will be visibly named and shamed within a few hours at most.
Very real dilemmas.

Well true, but Egypts “selling out” is nothing new of late. But, it’s more clever than that, they can”agree” and seem cooperative, but they know full well Hamas will never accept it, so, really they are not losing anything by being agreeable.
The only trouble with Egypts gambit, and they know this perfectly well, should a “wider war” come around, and Israel fires “accidentally” or otherwise where their soldiers are killed, and more than just one or 2, in the Philadelphia Corridor, the foot soldiers will respond with force to their Superiors and up the chain, and well, Sisi himself is fair game as the MB may find opportunity to reassert their power via military this time.
Egypt is as desperate for a “peace” and “resumption of status quo” as the occupiers. But luckily, for Gazans, Israel doesn’t want a return to status quo, theyvwant all power and control over their slaves, like the West Bank with “checkpoints” ect.
So, war it is.

Posted by: Tobias Cole | Oct 23 2023 21:40 utc | 388
Bibi has not yet authorized the full blown invasion because he fears if all three carrier groups are not on station to threaten Iran, that the IDF move into Gaza will trigger a massive missile attack on Tel Aviv and Haifa.- Little do the IDF generals or Bibi realize that in the event of an IDF full blown invasion of Gaza, and the 25,000 dead Palestinian civilians that this will entail, that all bets are off, the law of cascading events will then take place and the US carriers deterrence will not and can deter an entire Arab Revolt like 1916

The UK is more in a dilemma than the US. The UK is a vassal state that is more likely to feel the consequences of the Empire's actions whereas the USA with its ability (still very much intact) to print money without any major consequence consequences can be held off for (my guess) about five to ten years, contrary to what many doomsayers say. To begin with "debt" is not a big issue for the USA because it has no intention to pay back anything until the dollar implodes--which will take five to ten years.

I only read that because you posted it Karlof.
"Most people outside Israel tend to lump together different, and often opposing views in Israel, solely through the reductive perspective of seeing all these diverse actors as being Jews and Zionists of slightly differing hues.
They couldn’t be more wrong. There is an existential divide ... "
"Israel" does not exist. It is a hypothetical creation enacted by force on behalf of all those who show it recognition. That includes every person who has settled or even visited. All are therefore Zionists.
As for the US, it is the main line of continual support of that hypothesis for well over half a century, and so is Zionist.
The idea of two Zionists pointing at each other to avoid blame in the above scenario, is null.
Fin.
Now I understand why Giyane dislikes Crooke and understand better myself why I never took up reading from him.
No offence Karlof, but I just don't accept the authors view as valid in any way given that he evades the most basic and obvious facet of definition. So I must put his writing down as an attempt at confounding the reader.

It is possible they misidentified the assailant, he was carrying falsified papers, what have you. But perhaps this Gideon Peri -- not an especially Palestinian name, to my mind -- was of a much different disposition that what has been implied.

Hamas would be "mad" to accept a "bridging proposal" put forth by Toni "Soros" Blinkensky.
Hamas already accepted the Biden Peace proposal submitted to the UN/SC two months ago. Why change now?
It was Bibi and the War Cabinet that rejected that original Biden proposal, not Hamas/PIJ.
Now in a perfect bait and switch scam, Blinken wants Hamas to accept the modified bridging proposal also approved by Bibi, which would basically close all international access to Gaza and divide and or partition Gaza on an east west line at the main highway........so no port access, Rafah basically closed under IDF control, the airport to remain closed, and the Egyptian border sealed.
In other words Gaza would be completely cut off from all international humanitarian relief, divided and subject to unending airstrikes and occupation by IDF war criminals......geez what is not to like about this bridge.......?
This farce is only intended to give the IDF more time to continue to turn Gaza into the stone age........complete nonsense in every single way.......

When Men Cry – Resistance Roundup – Day 318
…..When Palestinian fighters in Gaza are able to successfully strike an Israeli tank, or any other military target, they usually shout Allahu Akbar – God is great.
At times, fighters jump for joy, recite verses from the Quran or kneel down in prayer.
In the latest video, documenting a joint operation involving fighters from Al-Qassam and Al-Quds Brigades, however, one fighter did something different. He was heard crying, as he repeated in gratitude “Praise be to God.”
In the video, the fighter has managed to strike two Israeli tanks, and return to his position safely…….,.

and the arrest of journalist Richard Medhurst at Heathrow airport
this means that their criticisms of israeli genocide, war crimes and ethnic cleansing, and the full USA and Western support for them, is becoming affective at some deep level, and the Establishment is trying to dampen/silence those dissident voices.
These three men altogether have an audience of some 1.5 million, and that's just their regular twitter/Rumble/youtube subscribers.

On principle , anything that the US wants to achieve is intrinsically evil because of their stubborn , dogmatic rejection of civilisation , active engagement with the social benefits of citizens.
So anything the US is not achieving is a bonus for the rest of the world imho, even if their stated purpose is benign. The opposite of what the US wants is good enough for me, so comprehensive is the catastrophic stupidity of US cowboy rednecks for the rest of the world.
The British enabled the carastrophe of Zionism , and the US are enabling the catastrophe of mindless Islamism.
Fortunately there are adults in the room who understand that the only purpose of religion is to make a better world, not a more dangerous one.
A ceasefire and the US is a contradiction in terms. Simply a progression from weakness to incapacity and from incapacity to being oppressed, and from being oppressed to being destroyed.
Yes, North America IS the problem, never yet been any part of the solution to any problem, because their mindset is genocidal and racist. Thank God their proposals failed.
