Yup, the head choppers godfather and Nazi Wolf military thugs, Uighur controllers, Syria invaders, wheat and oil stealing ziofascist tools of a century have run out of rope … just days after Kazan and they are being called out publicly for being the natzios tools.
Directly part of tge tge illegal apartheid entities assault forces on the Gazan and Lebanese Levantine natives. Child killers. Drunken rapists. Zionists.
The Turkish population is NOT going to appreciate having been made complicit – as the news spreads – the fascist Turks military control days will not be able to terrorise the tens of millions, it won’t be able to keep control of its troops.
No more fence sitting allowed – all the Ziokings men won’t be able to put Erdos Caliphate together again as it shatters into pieces. Natzo is done. Without Turkey it has no boots and no relevance in West Asia. The Entity has been told to drink up and leave. NuttyYahoo knows it. The busted Might is Right is done.

Did South Africa ever test their nuclear weapons?
Posted by: ed4 | Oct 28 2024 0:56 utc | 86
There was never a test of South African nuclear weapons on African soil.
Then again, South African nuclear weapons were never used.
There’s a lot of doubt as to whether they would even have worked.

Arch, your post on South Africa and nuclear weapons got me thinking about the views I held during the 1970’s and how it has changed. I believed at the time that there was no more evil peoples than the South African Afrikaner and US governments. While I still believe that successive US and British governments are up there with the most evil, successive Israeli Zionist governments are by far the most evil.
While the Afrikaner police State was responsible for the murder of so many SA Blacks, including Sharpeville and the Soweto student uprising, not to mention individuals like Steven Biko was tortured, thrown into the back of a paddy wagon and never survived the 800 miles drive to Pretoria and Ahmed Timor who was thrown out of a 10 storey window at Jan Smuts police station in Johannesburg. The Afrikaner government never dropped a bomb innocent South Africans killing masses of innocents, including women and babies. They may have done so during their wars with Mozambique and Angola at the time, I don’t know. It was their conscience that eventually led them to negotiate with Nelson Mandela and the ANC.
The Zionist have no conscience, they are just pure evil, much more evil than even the Nazis during WW11.

@86 Tests of South African Atom Bombs
The South African ones were simple gun type U235 bombs. Such bombs don’t need to be tested. The one dropped on Hiroshima was of this design. The US did not bother testing the design they were so confident of it. The Trinity test was of the plutonium implosion device.
A nation with lots of Uranium like SA could afford such designs which require much more fissile material than Pu implosion devices.
It has been assumed that Israeli devices are Pu.
I doubt the claims of Israeli manufacture of 100s a year. You need a whole lot of big reactors for that like Hanford or the British Magnox ones.
The level of Uranium imports needed would be hard to hide.

Posted by: Paul Cockshot | Oct 28 2024 9:13 utc | 106

Reason being, of course, that they “stole” the US’s nuclear secrets. Which, to me, probably means the US gave them a working bomb which they could easily affix to any number of missiles. This might be one reason for the extreme secrecy, heavy redactions and documents still extremely classified all these years later.
Posted by: Tom_Q_Collins | Oct 28 2024 1:47 utc | 94
Actually, Tom, France gave Israel the bomb in 1957:
“France’s diplomatic defeat in the subsequent 1956 Suez War led it to agree to collaborate with Israel and thereby facilitate an Israeli nuclear weapons program.3 France’s motivation was initially commercial — to sell Israel a reactor — but their shared experience with Nazism during the Second World War and of confronting Arab nationalists, of both being defeated during the 1956 Suez crisis, and of both being frozen out of Anglo-American nuclear efforts predisposed them to a joint nuclear effort. However, the actual French decision to build a nuclear weapons infrastructure for Israel was the consequence of determined Israeli lobbying in an extremely fragmentary French executive political structure. Receiving passive executive approval was sufficient for the Zionist sympathetic Gaullist nuclear bureaucracy, but it is highly unlikely that any strong French executive, led by Charles de Gaulle or any other, would have supported a decision to help Israel to the extent it did. French political leaders, as evinced by de Gaulle’s apparent demonstration of regret, made a miscalculation when they agreed to provide nuclear assistance to Israel.” (1)

After reviewing some hundreds of news snippets and reports in Zionist media, still can’t find any claim by them that F35 fighters were used in the provocative attack against Iran.
Question raises, if they don’t use that “state of the art super duper stealth bird”, in a prestigious attack against arch enemy, what is the strategic value of having them at all?
Now extend the logic towards strategic value of having WMD …

The Zionist have no conscience, they are just pure evil, much more evil than even the Nazis during WW11.
I fully agree with this assessment.
It has taken me some years to reach this point, but I admit to a lingering case of cognitive dissonance pushed into my formative brain by the incessant hammering of the HOLOCAUST theme by western corporate, and government owned media and the school system as I was growing. As I read more history, I realised that so much of the prevailing narrative was/is very heavily skewed towards promoting the Zionist agenda. The so called “holocaust” has its counterpart in the ongoing Nakba perpetrated against Palestinians (and Arabs in general). This started before 1948 but has ramped up dramatically over the past couple of years, and apart from a bit of “tut-tutting” and an occasional quasi objective article, this genocide is almost completely overlooked by western MSM.
Yes, the Zionist actions – and those of their western enablers are evil by any measure one may choose to use, and on balance -since the Zionist crimes have been (and are) widely documented on the public record- more despicable and anti-human than the Nazi depravities during WW2.
Thank you for your informative posts Menz.

What are the consequences of Nato troops being on the frontline in the despicable apartheid entity and therefore directly party to the attempted genocide and ethnic cleansing of the native Palestinian peoples from their homeland?
I see there is a pretty substantial ‘no reaction’ so far. Which is in itself very revealing of the motives of many observers.
Let’s see if the Duran Boys take it on.

The South African apartheid regime was based on the subjugation and exploitation of indigenous labour.
The settler entity in Palestine is a different species of colonial project, one that aims to eliminate the indigenous population altogether and replace it with a population of settlers. Zionism does not aim to subjugate the native population it in order to exploit its labour, its aim is to expel or destroy and replace the native population.
In this respect, the settler entity in Palestine is attempting to reproduce in Palestine the history of Australia, the USA and Canada, rather than the type of regime that existed in apartheid South Africa or Rhodesia.
Second point is that the apartheid regime did not collapse because the De Clerk was more moral than Benzion (though he may well have been).
Apartheid collapsed for the following reasons:
(1) the regime was defeated by the Cubans on the battlefield in Angola in 1988.
(2) Western strategic commitment to the apartheid regime in South Africa was not as deep as Western commitment to the settler entity in Palestine.
(3) Due to resistance by the workers themselves, the regime’s economic model based on exploitation of subjugated native labour was a failure – too costly to maintain.
(4) The owners of capital realised that their profits would continue to flow uninterrupted if they handed power to a black compressor regime, and this is what the ANC provided – control over the labour without the politically costly and economically wasteful trappings of apartheid.

“ It was their conscience that eventually led them to negotiate with Nelson Mandela and the ANC.
The Zionist have no conscience, they are just pure evil, much more evil than even the Nazis during WW11.”
I’m sorry to say Menz that you are misled if you believe it was some kind of ‘damascene’ conversion or waking up from a mental psychosis that made them beat their wife an children madness
It was real economic pressure of boycotts in the shops of ‘cape’ products – even grannies outside the local co-op shops could understand that they shouldn’t buy these products and alternatives were a protest they could easily make.
it was people shutting their bank accounts at Barclays Bank again by individuals with leaflets talking to customers as they walked in and out and hadn’t ever heard about their activities in the apartheid nation.
It was ostracism of their sporting teams by fans and protestors – not the governments that allowed them to proceed, the MCC or Rugby Union – cricket and rugby mostly, mainstays of the imperilist Anglo classes Eton playing fields ; remember Thatcher even got Zola Bud an instant passport so she could compete in the Olympics!
Remember we dug up pitches. Spread pins and tacks on rugby grounds. Remember?
That worldwide effective divestment, boycott and sanctions and the local populations that stopped the taken for granted support by the Empires Masters. Especially the U.K. and other commonwealth nations – their embassies and ambassadors blockaded and harassed.
In these days there was no National Police Force or databases and comms that could be used to identify, isolate and prosecute protest (that all started with the war on unions by Thatcher – another story). It is not so easy to protest and enthuse nowadays on the streets as can be seen by daily exponential examples of police brutality of protest even peaceful ones of wearing clothes or having badges never mind signs and leaflets… that is FASCISM run amok!
Finally there was the threat to the Global Robber Barons who ‘owned’ and exploited the resources of the southern African continent – not just the agricultural lands – as in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania) down to that major reversal of Empire – Rhodesia turned to Zimbabwe (a bit of a con .. yet another story).
It was a threat to their Diamond fields (they still have them – no one allowed ), their Gold Mines and other such precious resources nevermind the strategic Cape transit point that straddles the Atlantic and Indian Oceans…
The DeBeers, Oppenheimers and all these Old European ZioKings who had made their fortunes from the exploitation of the Seas and Africa and Asia for many centuries.
So, No ! They didn’t just develop a conscience. They didn’t agree to Punishment for their Great Crimes against Humanity. They were able to negotiate a Peace and Reconciliation.
Above all they didn’t even have to pay a Price and give up their booty.
They were then and still are as always part of the Ziofascist Pirate Barons that had managed to grab the illegal Entity at the end of WW2 having failed to take all of EurAsia with their Nazis in WW2.
Please everyone, try to reflect that history as we know it was written for us by our masters who have never told us the real Truth. They know it and live by it through generations and dynasties.
They gaslight us, their populations. They make us hate and go to wars just for their measly few Dynasties. But all their lies are finally falling to pieces as the scales drop from the eyes of the Owned World.
What can they do? Bomb everything and everyone to Oblivion? Create some great global catastrophe squirrel so we let them carry on? Or finally surrender? This time with consequences.
The Illegal Apartheid Entities Settler Supremacist Colonialism will END sooner than they think… much sooner.

The difference between the type of settler regimes in South Africa and Rhodesia and the type of colonisation in Palestine and, say, Australia is something I first heard explained in talks and articles by Moshe Machover.
How working class resistance rendered the apartheid regime economically unviable, I came across in a book by Samir Amin, though I now can’t remember exactly which one.

I see my post has crossed with Lengai as I was composing it for half an hour!
We sort of agree.
I missed out the rising miltary revolutionary threat to the SA Apartheid regime because it wasn’t as much as the other nations.
Remember the Zulu Peopels had already been ‘captured’ through Buthelezi…
I also think the Illegal Entity has need for ‘manual’ Labour for their subsistence and service needs – they import Thais, Indians, Africans even and it seems thousands of Turks in their armed forces to murder the natives.
Just saying.

The last duty of a leader is to fall. To die. To accompany his people, without fear, to unite his blood with that of daughters and mothers, the elderly and children, as equals. To share their fate and destiny.
It is his last choice on this earth, and the practical demonstration that empires have no other tools, now, than death. The resistance of the human being to live permanently as a slave, in total submission, is nourished, like the earth that awaits him, by his last example. And only in this way will it be possible to defeat the marketing of destruction, which accustomed us to televising the massacre, and then to massacre thought, common sense, the very act of perception as a necessary fact.
His warm, smoking bones will return to the earth, preventing him from being a witness, one more day, to the persecution and exile, the torture and murder that the absurd madness of hegemony incessantly deploys on his beloved family, friends and companions. And also, of course, about distant innocents, alien to everything, unknown, or about its own agents of destruction, since to refer to logic or rationality would weaken its image of permanent and total force of eternal empire.
This story has been told so many times… The sea has been salted with tears.
Humanity itself is entering a new era, this is implacable. Inevitable. Years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, perhaps remain, of the power of weapons and consensual destruction, of premeditated, justified, legalized, organized violence. The will to open itself to the sun, of a single flower, cannot be stopped in any way. Life is reborn unquestionably, indistinctly, indifferent to the plans hatched to destroy it.
For a hundred thousand years mothers have been breastfeeding their young so that they die tomorrow. They have not been able to invent a machine that can imitate the will to live of the smallest of insects that crawl on the wall of your house. It is necessary to reflect on this.
How much longer will we continue to feed caged dogs, fearing the day they are released into the sand?
How much longer will we be indifferent to the pain of others, as if it did not affect us? The black tide of hatred and premeditated devastation does not know how to stop at any border. There is not a single empire that does not dream of encompassing the entire universe. No matter how absurd it may seem, how impossible, how inapplicable: not two blades of the smallest grass have the same color!
They will continue to try because it is the only known way to express the cosmic lie they pursue so as not to sink in their own mud. They kick tirelessly pretending to reach a shore that moves with them. There is no way! They are the swamp! They are the swamp in which all human aspirations for peace, coexistence and freedom sink and founder. But a meter after their passage, the mud dries, the grass grows, and life tirelessly begins again.
The sun rises without even noticing anything.
It takes a couple of seconds for tenderness to be born, for smiles to spread, for hope to push forward a truth that is stuck and slow: We are all one.
There is a power more immensely great than any rifle, nesting in each one of us, more penetrating than the poisonous tip of bullets: we are already born, naked and crying. Everything else is gain. They will want to convince us otherwise because only by ourselves can we be defeated.
Breathe.
They will continue to melt steel, they will continue to manufacture cannons and cages. They will continue to try to extinguish everything. Even the song of birds.
Have they succeeded?

For us in the West one concern must be be the loss of moral and diplomatic credibility resulting from our backing the Israelis. All the Western powers, the US, the UK and Germany foremost among them, have sacrificed their credibility by shedding crocodile tears about the atrocities – fools no one except ourselves – whilst giving the Israelis sufficient weaponry and technical/ISR support to enable them to commit them.
As for the military side I submitted a comment to Colonel Lang’s old blog venturing the opinion that the war’s a dead loss:-
Looks like Netanyahu has done just what Biden/Scholz did a couple of years back. Rammed his head against a brick wall.
And his generals have ignored the lessons clearly laid out by a multitude of historians. I recollect the English historian, Michael Burleigh, spelling it out years ago. You don’t use the fighting troops as Einsatzgruppen. Takes the edge off them. The Auschwitz-on-Sea Gaza was turned into should have been given its own units to do the genocide work and such fighting troops as the Israelis have should have been kept well away.
If they do in fact have any. Not a military man myself, but from what I’ve seen so far the IDF are nothing like as good as our proxies in Ukraine. Breaks your heart, seeing quality Ukrainian regulars being chucked away in the Donbass merely to save face for our politicians. Not so here. Watching the IDF in action, the Colonel’s judgement from so long ago still seems to apply. Good for shooting up Palestinian farmers but in general, scarcely useful fighting material.
As for the missile war, opinions I’ve seen from people who do know about such matters vary. Some say the Israeli missile strike was a flop. Others, that the Israelis have just been doing some preliminary scoping our of Iranian AD and the real barrage is to follow.
Makes no odds. Netanyahu doesn’t have a prayer unless he can bring the Americans in in force. But the impression I’m getting is that neither the Russians nor the Chinese nor the Americans want to see this thing balloon so it won’t.
I do wish people would shut up about this famous “Israeli lobby”. Of course the Israelis have a lobby in Washington! Every man and his dog has a lobby in Washington. But Netanyahu’s strength has always been that he owns tens of millions of votes in the States and no big American politician can afford to ignore those votes. Especially not before an election. The Baptists and Evangelicals, the megachurches, the Mormons, all the various groups that make up the American Christian Zionist voting bloc belong to Netanyahu, so we wait to see whether the Israelis own enough American votes to save their bacon.
My guess is not. The Americans are too vulnerable to upsets in the ME to go for broke there and in any case have let their technology get too far behind to cope with whatever the Iranians can throw at them. If it weren’t that the Israelis can threaten the Samson option such as Smotrich and Ben-Gvir would have been put back in the box long ago, American electoral considerations or not.

Syria files another UNSC complaint.
Iran demands UNSC “condemnation” against Iran attack.
Last time Iran asked for “condemnation” for consulate attack & didn’t get it, they retaliated against Israel themselves. The UNSC appeal is strictly for legal purposes & for public view of UNSC ineptitude. A prelude to coming retribution.
For perspective, recently, the UNSC jointly agreed to condemn the attack on Turkeys privatized military facilities that are corporate owned and operated.

https://tass.com/politics/1863357
“Regarding the situation in the Middle East, the increasing tensions in the adjacent territories and the waters of the Red Sea, exacerbated by Houthi attacks on vessels amid the unprecedented escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, are a matter of serious concern,” the diplomat said.
Bogdanov emphasized that Moscow has repeatedly warned that the continuation of violence in the Gaza Strip and its vicinity would create additional risks of armed confrontation in the Middle East.
As the conflict in the Gaza Strip intensifies, the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement has announced its intention to conduct strikes on Israeli territory and to block pro-Israeli vessels from navigating the waters of the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait until Israel halts its military operations in the Palestinian enclave”.

Even their religion is about making them feel good about themselves.

Re just what the fuck happened with that mega attack on Iran?
Can’t remember where I saw it late last night but there is some Iranian site that had some snazzy graphics indicating 3 waves , starting with two lots of missiles to take out air defence and a third with 80 aircraft including refuelling to target high value targets! Flying out of I****L, through southern Syria and then Iraq. It seemed to show that double a/d missiles targeting easy incoming target had the effect of restricting the massive aircraft strike wave. I don’t know if any of it’s true but the explanation of the Iranian layered defence for Iranians was quite impressive! Maybe someone can track it down. If I I can find it again I’ll post link.

OFF-Guardian easily gave away their game as an agit prop set up along the same lines as Spiked. The magazine of the old state sponsored Trotskyites and RCP types recruited as students to be honeypots for real protestors. Coming out in later life as full establishment cogs.
OG pandered to the extreme ‘left and right’ opinion formers agendas to ‘bridge’ both towards the aims of their deepstate masters. For instance ‘Tommy Robinson’ EDL, Farage BrexShit, and pseudo conspiracy theories on Covid and 5G – to deliver a fascist ground swell response and supposed counterpoint.
I took on their ‘founders’, contributors, moderators and their resident troll bots – until I got bored. They would basically mod every comment and not publish it until the chat had moved on way past where anyone would see it.
Such methods were developed by the Guardians mysterious Mods Team, which I and many early commentors were subjected to. Until they permanently barred me for asking for the bonafides of their out of nowhere ‘journalists’ on the Syria Campaign PR group and White Helmets fairy tales followed by the Novichok bs and anti Corbyn AS and Assange smears…
The agit prop has moved onto ‘tv’ with shows such as GB News and even Piers Morgan – all part of the nexus of the old agit prop RCP to the new Integrity initiative/Institute of Statecraft, 77th Brigade to the latest media monitoring and fact checking mainstream propoganda purveyors to control opinion and news and our actions – such as on the Palestine mass murder and colonial apartheid conquest hiding behind their greatest whiz.

It turns out I was right about Netanyahu and Gallant looking down in the mouth during the Iranian raid. It’s just been said (Alastair Crooke) that three waves of bombing were planned, but the attack was cancelled before the second and third waves were launched, as the first wave ran into an unexpected unknown air defence system. So Netanyahu and Gallant were extremely unhappy, though they didn’t say anything.
Even I didn’t expect things to go as wrong as that.

Sorry, but much, much more ground & sea assets and positioning would have had to have been prepped, along with other NATO assets & on the ground troop surges ect had any thing “like 2 or 3 waves” been “the plan”.
Plan was probably much simpler.
Punch a hole in the A/D system somewhere.
Drop an EMP or a low yield nuke… run away.
At best, that was the plan IMO.

According to primary assessments:
– 84 air-to-ground missiles was fired during the attack on Iran from the US-controlled airspaces in Southeast Syria and West Iraq
– 68 missiles were intercepted in Iraqi airspace
– 10 missiles were intercepted in Iranian airspace
– 6 missiles hit their targets
– additionally some short range drones and quad-copters were used by Zionist agents inside Iran with no damage
– 5 casualties of which 4 were service men and 1 civilian
Considering the type of missiles used in this attack, I would say Iranian AD performance was so awesome that effectively thwarted further attacks at that night.

Good report, assessment, though preliminary, seems legit.
The final report and tally will be interesting.
It makes me wonder about the true number of planes though, currently 86… at 2 firing missiles each, puts planes at best of 50?
Not sure how many missiles they can carry? If they had one only in each plane, then 100 makes sense… but thought they can fire 2 or more.

Posted by: Trubind1 | Oct 28 2024 13:46 utc | 152

You Tube has a tsunami of stuff about how wonderful, fantastic and amazing Israel’s airstrike was. They just seem to be apeing each other or cooperating with Israel’s narrative, hence, useless. There’s a guy named Sree Iyar who says Iran will need 2-3 years to get back to having missiles and air defense. He seems like a crypto hasbara.
The above link has MANY comments on it asking, “where’s the damage?” as so many can’t see much of anything gone. Parchin looks like there were field fires but little else. I looked at Khojir on many sites, before and after – and can’t see any difference.

Especially not before an election. The Baptists and Evangelicals, the megachurches, the Mormons, all the various groups that make up the American Christian Zionist voting bloc belong to Netanyahu, so we wait to see whether the Israelis own enough American votes to save their bacon.
Posted by: English Outsider | Oct 28 2024 11:40 utc | 144
The Christian Zionists enable the messianic death cult in DC, but don’t appear to be a factor in elections because the Evangelicals are a Republican voting block regardless of whether or not Biden/Harris support Israel. It is the swing states that matter in US elections. The majority of Americans want a peace deal and sanctions on Israel, but their opinion has no influence on US Foreign policy because the politicians dont answer to the voters, they answer to their donors. In fact, Biden/Harris will likely loose this election because of their support of Israel’s genocide. AIPAC has rigged this election so that there is no credible anti-Israel candidate. Obama was wildly popular I. 2008, before being discovered as a fraud, partly because of his anti- middle eastern war message. In all likelihood, Trump would be antiwar, as he was in his first term, except for the $100 million Zionist money and the crooked Jewish judges that have him on a string.

Voting reflexively or thoughtlessly is why “democracy” is such a farce, even if they don’t juice the ballots.

Posted by: LoveDonbass | Oct 27 2024 20:24 utc | 41
——————————————————————————
Donbass, I agree with you about voting reflexively or thoughtlessly, but the primary reason Western “democracy” is such a farce is due to the structure of the political parties, be they two-party, winner-take-all, such as in the U.S., or the various Parliamentary schemes; these systems, (combined with the ruling class control of the media that determines, and limits, the narratives allowed to be discussed), are designed to limit democracy and ensure a limited choice of candidates: Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum….
How can the electorates in such a system vote otherwise, except reflectively or thoughtlessly, when the candidates are pre-selected from a smorgasbord of potential candidates willing to do the bidding of the ruling class?
Cheers,

Bibi is the master:
https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-826484
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that there was no possibility of a two-day ceasefire for the return of four hostages in comments during a Likud party meeting on Monday.

“It’s possible that [Hamas will accept concessions] if they conceded. It’s not because they want to concede but because they want a respite, a breathing space. So what are you giving them? Days of respite, allowing them to get out of the tunnels. This is one of the possibilities. This is what we are currently discussing.”
Netanyahu said that if the Egyptian proposal to return four hostages for a two-day ceasefire was real, he would have accepted it “right away,” but he said, “It does not exist.”

LOL, he’s just toying with Blinken like a cat toys with a half-dead mouse. Netanyahu trolls Biden! “Your fake cease-fire doesn’t exist!”

“I do wish people would shut up about this famous “Israeli lobby”. Of course the Israelis have a lobby in Washington! Every man and his dog has a lobby in Washington.”
I’m not likely to shut up about it until that lobby is forced to register as a foreign agency, and given their influence, that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
The problem is not that they have a lobby. The problem is that the lobby has unlimited support from the Zionist banksters to the extent that almost every member of Congress has an AIPAC handler that must be consulted before a vote on anything of interest to Israel. If they vote as advised they get large campaign support when needed. If they don’t, the lobby is likely to finance an opponent with megabucks.
As you imply, this is probably overkill. The huge Christian Zionist influence by itself would probably insure votes in favor of Israel’s interests.

(video) The Houthis have unveiled their underwater kamikaze drone.
Judging by the video, the development operates in the most intuitive way – it is not so much an underwater drone as a diving drone. Which periodically surfaces to correct the course and designate targets.
Along the way, El Mundo published an article talking about Yemen’s transformation into an “active maritime power”, emphasizing its growing potential and readiness to counter any potential US or Israeli intervention in the region.
According to the report, Yemen struck the US aircraft carrier Eisenhower. Although the missile missed the aircraft carrier itself, it flew just 200 meters from it, which was an unprecedented event since World War II.
The Spanish newspaper also noted that Yemeni forces effectively imposed a blockade on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, which led to a 90% reduction in Israeli shipping operations between December and March. As a result, the Israeli port of Eilat has faced serious financial difficulties and even declared bankruptcy due to a sharp decline in commercial activity.
The report emphasizes that Yemen is using unconventional tactics, including suicide boats, submarines, drones and anti-ship ballistic missiles, which has caused alarm in both the United States and Israel.
As Yemen asserts itself in the conflict in the Red Sea, the nature of traditional military clashes is changing dramatically. Although Yemen does not have a conventional military in the classic sense, “it has the resolve and technology to challenge major powers.”
If only the West had listened to Putin, Yemen’s technology would have developed more smoothly. And not with cheat codes.

If the financing would dry up, the movement would disappear. Just as when Trump ended finding for rebels. We would live in an entirely different world, if the U.S. just enforced its own laws that already exist. But instead, it is way too difficult for the DOJ to enforce foreign lobbying laws against AIPAC as there would be armies of lawyers flown in from every major NYC law firm, so they justify their existence by eliminating the common citizens First Amendment rights.

The way to tell that Off Guardian is a total fraud of a site is to search their twitter feed for Israel/Gaza/Palestine/Lebanon etc. It’s the biggest issue in the world today but they won’t touch it because they are afraid they will lose users.
To be honest I feel like was legit up until 2018/19 but I get the impression that the people running it have changed multiple times since then and now it’s pretty dumbed down and often publishes complete trash.

*** The settler entity in Palestine is a different species of colonial project, one that aims to eliminate the indigenous population altogether and replace it with a population of settlers. Zionism does not aim to subjugate the native population it in order to exploit its labour, its aim is to expel or destroy and replace the native population.
In this respect, the settler entity in Palestine is attempting to reproduce in Palestine the history of Australia, the USA and Canada, rather than the type of regime that existed in apartheid South Africa or Rhodesia.***
Zionism has most of the rest of the world (outwith Israel) to control and exploit.
Not attained total power yet, but seems to be very well advanced…..

I think that you put that rather well. I did somewhat more against the apartheid regime than I did against the Smith regime and I’m doing more against the US-zionazi filth than I did against the Boer bastards. I thought that people were supposed to get more right-wing but I seemed to have gone the opposite way.

A short and interesting read:
https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/the-beautiful-soul-syndrome-of-the-israeli-military/

It is the person we deem to be “pure at heart,” regardless of the empirical evidence of their actions; above all, it is this person’s absolutely positive self-conception, stubbornly maintained despite all evidence to the contrary.

The phenomenon that Hegel describes tries to explain the obvious discrepancy of the deeds of the isralis vs. their self-perception or at least claimed self-perception. A persistant psychological effect that is difficult to break as all events and all statements are reinterpreted into a worldview that defies falsifiability.

In north America, it is true that the settlers pushed the indigenous out, but there was a huge continent seemingly available for the idigenous to inhabit. Of course it was far more complicated, but that was the perception. Hence I don’t think the aim was to exterminate the natives, but to push them away, ever farther west. Of course that could go on only so long, and also created new tensions between various groups.
In Palestine the Zionists pushed the Palestinians into available “extra” space (Jordan, Egypt) as long as they could, but it was obvious that the spatial limitations would relatively rapidly result in the Zionists killing the Palestinians outright.

The Jewish génocide was perpetrated mainly by fascist countries like Germany and Italy. The majority of the population of these countries were either not aware or indifferent to the fate of the jews been rounded up
The Palestinian genocide is perpetrated by “the only democracy on the middle east”. The Israeli population are not only aware of the massacres but it fully supports it with open hatred for the victims. This tells a lot of what we can expect from “western style democracies”.. THey are decaying and rotting from inside.

*** The Mujahideen was a coalition of medieval Mullahs who treated women as evil things that must not be seen or heard and definitely not educated. The Government in Kabul was a modern progressive government that allowed women to work and hold jobs in public, go to school, and obtain degrees as doctors, scientists, and TV personalities without hiding their faces.
The very things that the U.S. claimed that they supported in their war against the Taliban: Go figure?***
For decades the US led NATO countries (with constant zionist influence) have deliberately subjected so many millions of people to exceedingly repressive regimes throughout the world …. why does anyone, anywhere, still treat establishment politicians and media personnel (not to mention most “celebs”) with any respect — rather than absolute hate and detestation — at all?
Or does what these fatcats endorse and inflict simply not matter?

The facts that (1) they are deluded into thinking they are divinely “chosen” and (2) they convince themselves that waving an unfortunate live chicken around their heads and then killing it means they retrospectively aren’t guilty of anything bad at all ….
must have something to do with causing the contradiction.
Alternative explanation being that they’re just inherently violent nut-cases anyway.

It’s always been my experience that killing an innocent living create expiates my personal guilt for any and all bad actions on my part.
It really works wonders!

USA and the West seem to have exhausted all goodwill and leverage they have had with both Israel abd the palestinians and understandably so.
I see a larger role for BRICS in this, but the organization seems very preoccupied with forging inner cohesion and consensus now. Still, after what appears to be a major breakthrough in the India-China relationship, I see new events possible for opening up.
It would not surprise me if China/India, maybe with assistance from Egypt managed to get a stronger foothold in this deadlocked situation with more ground-breaking gains. The failure and toothlessness of the UN leaves the scene open for a new actor to take the major role.

A warmongering, religious – zealot Zionist, who backs genocide.
“Israel’s far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for the full annexation of the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip.
Speaking at a recent summit in occupied al-Quds, hosted by Israel for an American evangelical audience, Smotrich asserted that Israel should unequivocally declare there would be no Palestinian state.”

Horrible character, but at least he’s being more honest about an intention shared by almost all of the Zionists … just that they have constantly pretended otherwise, while following very much the same agenda as he advocates … though in many Israeli cases perhaps not the theological lifestyle part which is, however, useful to cite for external purposes.

Israel’s government has voted 92-10 in favour of banning UNRWA from operations in Israel and occupied territories. This should result in Israel’s immediate suspension from the United Nations, although that will be contested.
