Merkava tally 213.
Al-Qassem used a landline to “destroy” a Merkava on Sunday. This landline was very liked made from unexploded IDF munitions.

While the Exploding Pager Incident woke a few countries up from their slumbers for a while it appears nobody has learned the essential lesson of the event.
I say this because the essential trajectory the globe is on, w.r.t supply chain security and locking complicit Western countries out of the supply chain (or subjecting them to advanced scrutiny) hasn’t changed.
Moreover, the same tunnel vision that affects global bureaucracies has persisted:
If a red berry turns out to be poisonous it is assumed that a pink berry should be fine.
In fact, the wise course of action would be to verify all berries, perhaps all fruits.
And so, we are already slipping zombie-like into the state of mind that as long as we don’t use pagers, all should be good. By “we”, I mean our national rulers.
So what about Artificial Intelligence then?
The entire Western A.I technology base is controlled by Zionist Jews.
How long do you think that a technology designed to disempower human beings will remain un-trojaned by the Mossad?
This technology which is being inserted into every component our technology stack from internet routers, to smart watches, to coffee machines, pacemakers, baby monitors, child trackers, life support machines, traffic control systems …

Well said Mr. Bungle. Bravo!
I have not been following this thread in detail for some time (too despairing of western government hypocrisy) and been concentrating on the Ukraine debacle.
But I am starting to see -in common with other sane commentators at MoA- that these two very intense and dangerous situations should not be viewed in isolation from each other.
However, the more the western empire (hegemony) is occupied with these two conflicts, the more time the PRC has to prepare for the western campaign against them. Hopefully, the western colonialist buffoons will become so “bogged down” in Ukraine and the ME that the hegemon will lose any immediate appetite for such a venture. But, this unfortunately does not bode well for Palestinians, Ukrainians and Russians.
In fact, since I cannot see the west backing down from its overall aspirations, I reckon things will get hotter and worse -probably fairly quickly. The US election ra ra may have some dampening effect temporarily but ultimately -despite the Trump ambiguous blather- the general course of events will prevail. Or, as psychohistorian has written repeatedly-“The shit show goes on till it doesn’t”.

State Of Terror, How Terrorism Created Modern Israel Thomas Suarez
…(via Jewish-American Ron Unz) I would strongly recommend State of Terror: How Terrorism Created Modern Israel published in 2016 by Thomas Suarez. Although it focuses primarily upon the Zionist terrorism that played such a central role in the creation of the State of Israel, it also provides some coverage of later years as well. Most importantly, it massively documents the complete ideological support for that technique found across all of the early Zionist leaders, who then continued governing that country during the decades that followed, even into the 1990s. Although the work is long out of print and copies available on Amazon start at nearly $5,000, it may also be found at Archive.org.

Israel is heavily bombing south Lebanon again. They did apparently get a hit on a launcher or ammo. Bombing is currently ongoing, reportedly all along the border.

Gaza city is being attacked with helicopter gunships and warships are shelling the Rafah beaches.
Still going through things, but sounds like the raid on the camp near Nablus, and reinforcements engaged before reaching the fight.
Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been launching more waves of their drones that the iron dome does not seem to be able to stop, reports of targeting surveillance sites.

Bullshit, troll. Never post negative news unless you want Peter to come down on your ass, and hard. Israel is just a low-IQ country and incapable of doing it. See the many posts above.
All the bullshit about ISIS or IRIS or whatever the moderate rebels etc being against Israel now is just a bunch of MSM smoke.

You are correct, the powers in charge of the west might ignore it. It gives anyone with a contract with Israel, or anyone supporting activities there not only the right but the legal obligation(I was going to say moral, but that has been prima facie for quite some time) to break that contract. In practice doing right is not often easy, but now at least in this case is it not only moral, but it is the law. There will be no “but I didn’t know” arguments accepted. This is just the start of it, I’ll link it again instead of quoting the whole thing. Multiple times it states the ruling is “erga omnes” meaning the obligations are to everyone. States are obligated to enforce(added a quote from 5a). BDS is now the law, not a protest.
“All States are under an obligation not to recognize as legal the situation
arising from the unlawful presence of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and
not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by the continued
presence of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory”
“5. Also calls upon all States in this regard, consistent with their obligations
under international law:
(a) To take steps to ensure that their nationals, and companies and entities
under their jurisdiction, as well as their authorities, do not act in any way that would
entail recognition or provide aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by
Israel’s illegal presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory;”

I hate reading legal crap, so much gobbledygook jargon. Writing about it less.
For those that do not want to read it, or even read my longer writing on it the law of the world now says:
That Israel’s actions are illegal, it is illegal to support and it is the responsibility of the nations/states to take actions to stop any support. BDS is the law.

Rhymerez,
“BDS is now the law, not a protest” – clever slogan.
My guess is being legally designated as a Apartheid state will have the most significant long term effects. There are a host of automatic sanctions against Apartheid. Lawfare will definitely come into play here.
One single example illuminates the possibilities for Lawfare : Columbia University has a program that encourages students to join the IDF for a year or so; then return to Columbia to finish their studies. That $14 billion endowment sure looks ripe for Lawfare. There are dozens if not thousands of such Lawfare opportunities.
Lawsuits do not need to be filed on the U.S. ….

Rockets in the bathroom, and I about lost it when they showed the door open, and there were full sized weapons system in the closet, ballistic missile launchers even.

MIT students shut down one program that supported the Israeli arms industry. They still have 15 or so more targets to get MIT to divest. Best way to start is to make sure that you yourself are not working for, making contracts with, purchasing goods from, etc anyone connected(as much as is possible with fingers being everywhere).
Thanks, every now and then I’ll come up with something good. I think this is better wording for a slogan. Previous was to make it less slogan like and more a statement of fact.

Notice how the first man thrown off the roof was blindfolded.
If we assume the man is already dead, it means he was detained, disarmed, blindfolded, then executed. WAR CRIME.
If we assume he is alive, they threw a living detainee off a roof. WAR CRIME

Detailed sound analysis on what sort of sound nuclear shockwave produces compared to conventional explosions, and why Israel most likely used a nuke in Lebanon a few days ago.
Putting this video into a professional audio editor we can see how SHARP this shockwave is, and how it fills all the frequencies that the camera mic can capture, dropping off sharply at its max input frequency of 15kHz.
But herein lies an important detail! Look at the slope!
Close examination shows a 34dB drop in power. This is approximately similar to the air propagation constant we detected earlier, considering a propagation of 1.9km by sound delay.
Inverting this, we can reconstruct the source: Fairly flat across frequencies! A Dirac Delta! ☢️🚨
Note that, of course, sounds other than a nuke can produce a Dirac delta, but when we consider the intense and sustained light, as well as other evidence such as the Rayleigh-Taylor instability observed, and the lack of anything else that could possibly cause this, it is a nuke.

You are welcome.
@141 to put in summary, the nuke produces a fireball that produces the initial shotgun followed by a tight, sustaining/thundering sound pulse (as it moves through the air) per a Dirac delta curve. Unlike conventional explosive that produces an initial sound, and high frequencies drop off much quicker per a Sine curve.

The “UNZ Review” published an article written by Alastair Crooke (august 5, 2024) called:
“The 1948 Irgun Re-Born?”
The article:
https://www.unz.com/article/the-1948-irgun-re-born
There is also a video included in the article:
“Alastair Crooke : Willful Western Blindness Over Israel”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZkfEh4bIIw
In that article he argues that the state of Israel is still in control of the country as long as the (ultra) right wing is willing to tolerate the state (of Israel). But if these (ultra) right wing settlers are called upon then these men are going to pose a SERIOUS threat to the state of Israel. These men want to bring about their version of Armagaddon in the Middle East. Evangelicals in the US call this the “Rapture”. No matter how you slice it or dice it there are groups are hell bent on waging (more) war in the Middle East.
I would STRONGLY recommend to read both the article and watch the video. I KNEW there were a bunch of fanatics in Israel but these weblinks points to a more SERIOUS problems/tensions in Israel. I fear that these right wing fanatics also are going to target(/kill ???) the more secular / less radical people in Israel. Even in the israeli army there are people/commanders (e.g. Gallant) who see how dangerous the situation has become in Israel.
Here on Moon of Alabama there were articles posted that brought opinions of people who thought that Israel would destroy itself /would cease to exist. I kept wondering how this destruction of Israel would take place. But now with the information from these 2 weblinks it clear that the current state of Israel is in danger of being “hijacked” by these radical ultra right groups in Israel.
This reminds of a video from the Marc Steiner Show: “The fear is everywhere’: Israel’s fascist internal crackdown”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o10D7WBdNS0
Below the description provided with the video right above:
“Al Aqsa Flood and its consequences are shaking Israeli society from within. While Netanyahu’s government continues a brutal campaign of collective punishment against Gaza, some Israelis are questioning why their government is more committed to massacring Palestinians than effectively securing the swift release of hostages. As dissent spreads, the government is turning to fascist methods to repress those who speak out, effectively eliminating freedom of speech and arresting those who defy them. Israeli photojournalist Oren Ziv joins The Marc Steiner Show for a special discussion co-hosted with Israeli filmmaker Lia Tarachansky.”

https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/09/23/733821/Netanyahu-is-trying-to-drag-Lebanon,-entire-region-into-wide-scale-war–Top-Lebanese-MP
Some highlights from article:
1)“Netanyahu continues to turn Lebanon’s southern towns into uninhabited scorched territories that are difficult to live in by destroying their green spaces suitable for agriculture with incendiary phosphorous bombs. The Israeli army is destroying homes and leveling them to the ground, killing civilians, including women, children, elderly people, paramedics, and health workers,” Nabih Berri stated on Sunday”
2) ****love how the term “dragged” is used by Westerners, including this Lebanon hack PM:
So, exactly how are you **not** going to get “dragged” into this war Mr. PM?? By capitulating? But yet trying to look like you’re “supporting” the South?
“He said that Netanyahu is trying to drag Lebanon and the region into a full-blown war, adding that Lebanon does not want a war, and will not get dragged into it.
Israeli trap“We will not let this happen, and will not fall into the Israeli trap. Rather, we will resist his plan, adhere to the rules of engagement, and demand the implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). The international community has no choice but to pressure Israel into stopping violation of the Lebanese airspace,” Berri said.”
What a hack… a phony hack. It’d be interesting if in all this fire exchange, some of those parliamentarians happened to get whacked.

Ty WMG. I did read Mr. Crookes article and have followed his work.
I found this particular article, speculative at best, and common knowledge frankly of Zionism and Evangelical Zionism.
Most Western journalists simply don’t want to cut to the chase with the issue.
The issue is: Racism
Nothing else.
An entitled, superior race, that is entitled by race, to rule, and to extinguish all other races at will.
That’s the West.
Dress it in Zionism, Fascism, Nazism… any “ism” you want, in the end: it’s ALL about Racism.
Not just “Jews” —-White European Jews
White Western Peoples, Jews or Not, Jews will throw a Yam-aka on your head if you want. Or not. Not even Jews give a shit about their “religion”.
The “religion” piece of this Racism, is a crock of shit sold to idiot’s and is a purposed inversion.

Thank you for your informative and relevant post for understanding of the broader background.
The quote by Crooke you cite:
Crooke:
“This is exactly what I was told when I complained about the War in 2003 in IRAQ and a senior figure came to me and said, “Listen Alastair, the point is that the destruction of Iraq the annihilation of Saddam Hussein who was an icon for the Palestinians would send a strong message for the Palestinian
leadership in Ramallah. It would be a bitter bitter message and they would be thoroughly demoralized.”
instantly reminded me of the real reason the US used nuclear bombs in Japan – to send a strong message to the USSR and thoroughly demoralise them.
It didn’t work then, and it doesn’t work now.
Yet they keep at it, sowing death and destruction all over, which only bears hatred and contempt for them, and resistance over time, making the US less and less safe.

An Israeli army spokesperson has just announced the targeting of Al-Zaiton School, alleging it was being used as a Hamas command center. However, our researchers @EuroMedHRAr immediately inspected the site and found no evidence of any militant activity- only women and children among the casualties (20).
We demand an international investigation into these ongoing, unjustified mass killings.

Today I saw images of another Israeli massacre in Gaza. A Palestinian baby’s limp, bloody body, little boys with shredded legs, a shoe with a severed foot.
While US officials and media debate if terror attacks in Lebanon are legal, they’re still arming and whitewashing genocide.

Israel has targeted in Lebanon this morning:
The Italian Hospital in Tyre
A church in Baalbek
Several small towns and villages, hitting civilian homes
50 martyrs and 300 wounded in southern Lebanon in raids, most of them children
The Israeli army bombed a large number of houses and their inhabitants, and when people gathered, they bombed them again.
———————
Lebanon has targeted in Israel this morning:
In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in response to the Israeli enemy’s attacks that targeted the southern and Bekaa regions, the Islamic Resistance fighters bombed on Monday 09-23-2024:
the reserve headquarters of the Northern Corps
the reserve base of the Galilee Division and its logistical warehouses in the Amiad base
and the military industries complexes of the Rafael Company in the Zevulun area north of Haifa with dozens of missiles.

[Anyone] Everyone see the difference in the targets?

I say again, there is a war between Israel and Lebanon.
All those saying – ‘it’s not war yet’ are waiting for what? A declaration of war?
Use of armed force between two states, that’s what war is, according to the laws of war. And in reality, that is what war is. And that is what is happening between Israel and Lebanon. It is not mere ‘escalation’.
On another note:
Israel is truly a remarkable creation, concept and practice. To add to its praxis we are forced to endure daily (mass murder, destruction of literally everything Palestinian including soil, olive trees, sheep…) please read this:
Israel razes Araqib village in Negev for 230th time
The Israeli authorities demolished on Monday morning all the tents and structures in the Palestinian Bedouin village of Araqib in the Negev desert for the 230th consecutive time, displacing its Bedouin residents…

Who would have guessed, already going after hospitals. Hospital in Tyre hit. Also since they were unable to do any significant damage to Hezbollah with their bombing they have switched to targeting to get as many civilian causalities as they can. Reports of up to 200 killed and 800 wounded. They gotta get grandma and her scud hidden in the closet(reference previous post about propaganda video,129).

As with every mass killing, Israel waits for victims’ names to be released, then selectively accuses some of having ties to Hamas. In today’s massacre, we documented 21 victims, 19 are women & children. The Shin Bet is likely waiting to identify 2 names to claim ties to Hamas
When the Israel targets schools, the spokesperson issues a standard statement, simply changing the school’s name, claiming it was a Hamas command center without specifying who was targeted. Later, they wait for victims’ names to selectively claim some were the intended targets

If you’ve been following Israhell for as long as I have you’d know one of the first placse they go for is the hospitals.
In order:
1. Civilian homes
2. Hospitals
3. Administrative buildings
4. Energy Facilities
5. Nurseries
6. Schools
7. Universities
8. Roads packed with fleeing civilians
9. Refugee Camps
As you can see, there’s a pattern: Begin with the basic foundations required to maintain civilisation and work your way up until every tier of infrastructure has been destroyed.
It’s a bottom-up means of total annihilation.

The Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs released a plan for Lebanon. He says because it’s not a sovereign nation, Israel has the right to redraw the map and occupy areas to allow it to prevent shooting into the country. This will be a permanent occupation. What happens to the local population? “They will pushed away from the border.” In other words, ethnic cleansing.

Listening to Alastair Crooke’s live discussion with Judge Napoletano about the impact of the pagers on Hezbollah.
Crooke says the Radwan forces do not use pagers they use fibre-optic (cabled) communication networks and physical couriers.
He claims he knows this based on visits and discussions with younger members of the Radwan forces in 2006.
In any case, he states that the civilian branches of Hezbollah are the users of pager and mobile devices, not the fighting forces.
The rest of the interview is very informative, he touches upon the Radwan forces succession planning strategy.

Neither Turkey nor Qatar provide any funding and support for Hezbollah.
They hold no influence over Hezbollah’s political or military structure.
They pose no threat approaching anywhere near the level of Israhell itself and therefore can apply no leverage of force on Hezbollah.
They back factions in Lebanese society with money and weapons, but those factions are so weak and incapable they can exert little pressure on Hezbollah.
