UK/US invade Cyprus. UK Cyprus Airbase to be used to bomb/supply war against Lebanon for Israel??.

Posted by: cy Press | Sep 26 2024 12:10 utc | 5

Been trying to find archives of the front page of Reuters.
For several days Reuters has been talking about the US searching for a ceasefire
between Hezbollah and the Psychopathic Entity (PE).
It has been deja vu all over again.
We saw the same thing relating to ceasefires between Hamas and the PE.
It was all a stalling tactic with the US mockingbirds telling their
readers that the US was trying.
Here is this mornings headline at Reuters.
Israel rejects U.S.-backed Lebanon ceasefire Proposal.
Subtext under headline:
Israel defied allies including the United States which had called for an immediate three-week halt in fighting.
Reuters is not captured by the usual archive websites.
Is there anyone that can help find the last several days
worth of Reuters front page?
Thx

Various numbers..
‘Israel killed at least 620 people, including 50 children and 94 women, in air strikes it conducted across Lebanon since September 23.
At least 1,835 Lebanese people were wounded in the attacks, the country’s Ministry of Public Health said.
In response, Hezbollah launched a volley of missiles targeting Israeli airbases.
Meanwhile, world leaders and the United Nations are urging a de-escalation of violence that has led to more Lebanese deaths in one day than at any time since Lebanon’s civil war between 1975 and 1990.

This is what Russia has to say about the war Israel started against Lebanon:
UNITED NATIONS, September 26. /TASS/. Russia calls for putting an immediate end to escalating the situation in the Middle East lest things spiral out of control in the region, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin said as he addressed a UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East.
“The developments in the region show once again that solutions to resolve devastating crises, including in Lebanon, can only be found through dialogue,” the senior Russian diplomat said. “The spiral of violence should be stopped immediately to keep the situation from veering out of control. We call for putting an immediate end to hostilities which would prevent more bloodshed and create conditions to put the settlement process back on political and diplomatic tracks,” he added.
Vershinin also cautioned against “reckless rhetoric” as he referred to a recent remark by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant who warned that the Israelis are capable of sending Lebanon back to the Stone Age. “We are confident that in an extremely tense atmosphere it is especially important to show maximum restraint and avoid provocations that seek to add more fire to the conflict,” he concluded.
Not one word about who, or how to “put an immediate end to the escalating situation”.
By the way, if you want to be informed about Israeli attacks and actions, as announced by Israel, just read TASS. They regularly carry Israel’s announcements as if they are true. Not so from the other side.
Israel has a true friend in Russia.

Russia stopped the West in its tracks in Syria. This should be no different.
Now is the time when the US is weak and struggling to supply weapons to their proxies.

No partners are dying. Iran is fine. Syria is fine. Hizbollah is fine. The partners dying are the US and Israel, in a disgusting display the rest of the world will never forget.
Russia has ONE military concern – war with NATO. They have to expect the Pentagon’s NO DICE from last week will eventually turn into a YES. As you pointed out, America is weakening itself and NATO every day. Russia will deal with the US militarily when they have to. They have enough sense not to go looking for this fight because America does have nukes.
Yes it’s terrible the crimes being committed against civilians in Gaza and Lebanon. These crimes are on the conscience of Israel, America, their western allies and Arab collaborators. It is not Russia’s responsibility to protect the world. And it would be irresponsible for Putin to endanger Russian lives by looking to expand the current war.

You know , RF bad for R2P in the 4 territories but they must do the same in The Levant so the Collective West can have a reason to disengage its Golden Billion behind the Garden purdah. The Narrative must be maintained so that in some generations they can hope to return to the global robber barons hegemony under a new shape.
They know they have lost this centuries attempt and are setting up the next generations.

It’s always complicated in human affairs, thus also in international relations.
Russia is a true friend of Israel even if the Zionists don’t appreciate that properly.
Russia is an unwavering supporter of Israel’s existence come what may, and has proudly announced that it will not cut its formal relations with Israel no matter what.
It always points out that it was the first country to recognize Israel and to establish diplomatic relations.
Russia emphatically insists on perpetuating the wrong and injustice done to the Palestinians by the UN approved establishment of Israel on Palestinian land, the bigger part of that land, presenting this unthinkable wrong and injustice as the “only solution”, allegedly because it is UN sanctioned.
So the great wrong and injustice done by, and through the UN, should, according to Russia, be definitively confirmed, and celebrated, as the right and just solution to the Palestinian question.
Russia’s position and policy is not affected by the fact of the unimaginable wrong and injustice done to the Palestinians, by all developments after the establishment of Israel, by the almost one-year long, uninterrupted genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Nothing affects Russia’s position about he “only solution”, as if the UN crime against the Palestinians, laid out in UN documents is set in stone. According to Russia, it is not possible to change, to right the wrong, especially after all the consequences of that wrong, culminating in the ongoing genocide.
Behold, Russia is going about changing the world (order), a truly formidable endeavor, which demonstrates that Russia thinks change is possible, even of extremely complicated, entrenched and explosive systems, but the terrible reality of the wrong, unjust and immoral implantation of Israel in Palestine, with all its consequences, can not be changed, and should not be changed.
The UN Palestine documents (this shameful and worthless pile of paper) are set in stone, according to Russia, the big reformer of the world, which (world) is supposed to become just and equitable.
But not for the Palestinians, apparently, because righting a wrong committed 75 years ago which produced catastrophic consequences for the Palestinians, the region and the world, is an impossible change. Acceptance and confirmation of the wrong, now, is the “only solution”.
So much for Russia, its consistency, principles and ability to be a true, honest, bold, progressive leader.

Actually no need of big push from Russia, China, Iran and the rest.
Granted, a lot of innocent blood is going to be spent, but the west is slowly loosing on all fronts.
Israel is loosing its plating of poor victim each day and, by the way, after more or less one year they didn’t get rid of Hamas, just terroristico bombing of civilians.
Same happening now in Lebanon, let’s see if idf start the ground operation.
I suspect they will be killed en mass.

As annoying as Escobar (and its entourage of Hasbarites), to me it remains hard not to see that Israel and the US have the upper hand here. Short of the economic collapse of the USA, there’s nothing NOTHING to stop this Israeli onslaught. They seem to have breached the security apparatus of their opponents, which is a huge blow, and even though I sometimes imbibe from the hopium I hear here on this page, seriously, what stops the Israelis short of economic collapse? The guns and money keep coming in. If ‘they’ can arrange it there may even a causus belli manufactured to get American troops to fight for them. The Chinese and Russians just need to stand back and watch the whole shitshow unfold, do nothing in the hopes that the Westerners make a tactical error somewhere along the way.
Yes, as in Finkelstein’s interview posted by Jane (was it?) points out that there is a real chance that a ground invasion could stop the Israelis. Maybe. There is nothing stopping the Israelis from using thermobaric weaponry on the opposing forces, and we can clearly see that any civilian casualties arising from it will be simply considered ‘tragic’ and then dismissed into the memory hole.
I had a conversation with a realist anti-Zionist critic (a scientist by trade) and he points out that the other big prize here is controlling as many of the watersheds of Lebanon as possible. Israel has a real water problem that it must solve in the upcoming next 20 years and its controlling the Litani river watershed (going up into the Bekaa Valley) is its prime meat prize. I hadn’t considered this through my outrage at the whole war as of now, but it is a good point and I think it is part of the larger calculations at play here.
And, sadly, no one with real power really cares about what happens to the Palestinians or any non-elite who identifies as an Arab. No protest here in the USA will make any difference.

So, how come Israel lost against Hizbullah in 2006? And indeed had to give up their 20-year occupation of South Lebanon. According to your theory they shouldn’t have had a problem to stay for ever. The situation is not quite like what Israel is presenting it as. It’s not the same as Gaza.
I too watched a Finkelstein interview recently. What most struck me was that of course he understands the Israeli machinations very well, but he seemed only superficially informed about Middle East politics, and had no idea about what Israel’s opponents would or could do.

I will repeat it, government website of Brazil.
“Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa
The idea of the BRICS was formulated by Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs, Jim O’Neill, in a 2001 study entitled “Building Better Global Economic BRICs”. It became an analytical category in economic, financial, business, academic and media circles.

It is so easy to put reality on its head. Some ass making an acronym to superficially describe what he sees is now a creator, of BRICS no less. A better source than B is probably b, or bees that sting you out of your idealist stupor.

Almost all donors resume funding of Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA — UN chief
According to the UN chief, there currently is no alternative to UNRWA
UNITED NATIONS, September 26. /TASS/. Almost all countries and organizations contributing to the budget of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) have resumed their funding, which was suspended following reports of UNRWA employees’ alleged involvement in Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, UN Secretary General Antionio Guterres said.
“Virtually all donors have reversed their funding suspensions. 123 countries have signed up to the declaration on shared commitments to UNRWA. This underscores the consensus that UNRWA’s role across the occupied West Bank and the region is vital,” he pointed out at a ministerial meeting in support of UNRWA held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
According to the UN chief, there currently is no alternative to UNRWA. “We all know that UNRWA is not a sustainable long-term solution to the plight of Palestine refugees,” Guterres noted, adding: “That is why we keep pressing for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and a long-term political solution ending the occupation and leading to two states living side by side in peace and security.” “But until that moment, UNRWA remains indispensable,” he concluded.
In late January, a number of countries, namely the UK, Germany and the US, announced the suspension of UNRWA funding due to suspicions over its employees’ ties to the radical Palestinian movement Hamas. Several UNRWA employees who could have been involved in the Hamas attack on Israel in the fall of 2023 were fired. Later, UNRWA accused Israel of trying to capture its employees to force them to make “false confessions” about their links to Hamas.

Does it matter if Biden mixes up hostages and sausages? In a very short space of time Biden and Netanyahu are going spit and sizzle like barbecued pork sausages in the Fire of Hell for the unconscionable evil they have jointly contrived in Palestine. Every single day for eternity.

When @Sydney_Uni
students publicly call a protest to oppose Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, uni management threatens them for not ‘notifying’ them of it, and chucks in some jaw-dropping racism about ‘Arabic language’ for good measure.
