Haredi Settlers Protest against Enlisting in Israeli Army: “We Would Rather Die”

(excerpt)….The dispute over the ultra-Orthodox community serving in the military is one of the most contentious in the Zionist entity…,
The issue has grown in urgency as the occupation military suffers from a lack of troops and pressure on reservists increases over the past year of war.
A group of Israeli army reservists recently sent on Wednesday a letter to Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi criticizing the continued failure to draft members of the ultra-Orthodox community, a move that they said would have helped reduce the large number of days they have been required to serve since the start of the war in Gaza over a year ago.
The letter accused the Israeli military of having “failed” its reserve soldiers who are frustrated and burnt-out after multiple stints in Gaza, on the northern border, and now in southern Lebanon amid the ongoing ground offensive there.
Earlier on Saturday (October 28), Israeli army radio reported that less than four percent of the 3,000 Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Israelis who received recruitment orders since July to join the military have done so…..

It appears now that Consortium News is back. I would wager it was a zionazi attack from occupied Palestine as the US/UK could do other things to harass them.
https://consortiumnews.com/2024/10/30/winning-a-battle-over-control-of-our-site/
“Consortium News has defeated an attack on America’s oldest independent news site. For now.
After being completely taken over for nearly 72 hours, CN was able to wrest back control of our site from the attackers and resume our ability to publish again.
Our victory was just one battle in an escalating war against a free press, however, which has included recent arrests, interrogations and home raids against journalists both in Britain and the U.S.
Now that we are back online we are focusing on trying to uncover who did this to us. Unfortunately we think we know why. Someone was so upset with what we write and say that they committed a crime to try to stop us.
We thank all of our readers and viewers for their patience while we were taken over and for their continued support.”

Fortunately the readership didn’t change so the comments section of ZH provides plenty of healthy insights on the regimist articles 😋😋😋

From Kevin Tillman. We remember the service of his brother Patrick Daniel Tillman Jr., slain in Afghanistan 20 years ago.

While serving, I didn’t think our foreign policy could get much worse or more obscene than the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), “Mushroom Clouds in New York City”, or “Greeted as liberators” stunts -– lies that drove the Iraq war. But by the end of my enlistment, I realized a few things. The first is how casually this country uses the goodwill, courage, sacrifice, and lives of American service members for belligerent U.S. interests. I still carry resentment and disgust towards our leaders’ “Forever Wars,” and my stomach drops when well intentioned people say, “Thank you for your Service.”
Although, I think for today’s service members, it’s worse. They are being ordered to support an overt genocide in Gaza, expanding into the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iran; the areas and countries fighting to protect the Palestinians from genocide. I cringe thinking about how current service members will feel when they are thanked for their service to this genocide. As if it doesn’t matter what their service is being used for. What impact it has. Or even if it is legal or moral.

Perhaps, at least here on MoA, readers will come to acknowledge that Spain’s expulsion of the ‘chosen’ in 1492 was necessary for the peace and survival of that nation. Isabella was a saintly queen -kind,charitable,virtuous- but also fiercely patriotic, courageous and truly concerned for the welfare of her people.

You mean Isabella’s actions are viewed otherwise? I guess it’s much like some of the things I have heard spoken about Catherine the Great regarding the Pale of Settlement which came into effect under her rule. Perhaps there’s something to be said for monarchies. Easy for me to say. I’ve never lived under one. The oligarchs that rule this joint like to lurk behind the curtains.
I guess all of this should go to the open thread, though.

The presumed “ceasefire” deal regarding Lebanon is in many ways a redux of the Gazan ceasefire deal the Biden admin rushed through the UNSC back in June, portraying it as an Israeli initiative. There was no deal back in June, and there is no deal over Lebanon either. The Biden admin is trying to create reality and failing. The idea is to install a comprador regime in Lebanon to facilitate the dismantling of Hezbollah. While there are willing partners to this scheme, they are a minority and have no active base to work with either politically or within the Lebanese armed forces. That the Americans have been so overt with their intentions demonstrates that this leadership group, situated in the State Department, is incapable of processing the point of view of their opponents or seeing things from all sides.
The biggest miscalculation – on the level of the assumption that the Russian state would collapse under the 2022 sanctions – was the belief that the dismantling of Hamas would be secured in a matter of weeks a year ago. The subsequent failure to use the significant leverage available to rein in Israel’s ongoing homicidal spree reflects the degree the regional policies converge. The underestimation of the Resistance’s resilience may well force the new US administration to face an immediate crisis decision to insert US combat troops, which is clearly something they are not prepared for.

U.S. ambassador to Lebanon promotes ‘internal uprising’ to assist Israel: Report
https://mronline.org/2024/10/31/u-s-ambassador-to-lebanon-promotes-internal-uprising-to-assist-israel-report/
Ambassador to Lebanon, Lisa Johnson, is continuing her agenda to prepare Lebanon for a “post-Hezbollah era” by mobilizing “internal” forces against the Islamic resistance movement while it fights the Israeli Army.
In discussions with Lebanese politicians, Johnson reportedly said,
Israel cannot achieve everything through war; it’s time for you to do your part and launch an internal uprising under the banner of ‘Enough.’
Johnson is Lebanon’s Nuland. Another civil war will be waged in Lebanon. The Christians and Sunnis will attempt to do to the large Shiite population of Lebanon what Israel has done to Palestinians. With US subsidy.

“In July 2024, Spain exported €147M and imported €83.3M from Israel, resulting in a positive trade balance of €63.4M. Between July 2023 and July 2024 the exports of Spain have decreased by €-48M (-24.6%) from €195M to €147M, while imports increased by €5.86M (7.57%) from €77.4M to €83.3M.” OECD

The western diplomatic offensive on Lebanon fails
https://thecradle.co/articles/the-western-diplomatic-offensive-on-lebanon-fails
Security analyst Abdullah Qamh tells The Cradle that Israel’s calls to ‘liberate’ Lebanon from Hezbollah and elect a president aim to sideline Amal Party leader and Parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berri, a longtime Hezbollah ally who has overnight become the most powerful authority in the country. In response to Hochstein’s demands, Berri firmly rejected the so-called ‘1701+,’ which involves amending the UN resolution to favor Israeli terms. He also dismissed any discussion of a presidential election while Lebanon remains under assault.
Israel opposes Berri’s mediation role and prefers to secure a ceasefire with a compliant president, bypassing Hezbollah’s allies. Qamh sums up Hochstein’s mission as essentially an attempt to press the Lebanese state into exerting pressure on Hezbollah.
He points out that Berri’s insistence on keeping Resolution 1701 unchanged was met by Israeli attacks targeting Amal Movement strongholds, from Beirut’s Jnah area to the southern cities of Nabatieh and Tyre. According to Qahm, “Hochstein’s mediation is over, as Berri described the American envoy’s visit as a ‘last chance.’”
Hochtuastein’s hope of utilizing the Lebanese Forces Party like the Azov Brigade to domestically oppose Hezbollah appears to be disappointed. Nevertheless, any Lebanese who are not aligned with US/Israeli servitude risks assassination.

The Talmudic nonsense, satanic to its very core, is all about the utter subjugation of the entirety of humanity to their will, desires, demands and depravity. I don’t know about you but in my book that is a declaration of war. Not recognising that is, as the Palestinians are experiencing first hand, existentially fraught. That they have been allowed to get away with it for so long without being removed permanently from existence is one of the mysteries of the universe.

How much of what you know about Chinese internal politics is from Western propaganda?
I ask because I have done a lot of research into the Uyghurs in the last year. These narratives seem to me to be an excuse for the US to sanction areas of high industrial output. It’s not like the American government loves Muslims or anything.
Many Uyghurs live comfortably and happily in China, seemingly able to practice their religion freely.
Falun Gong seems like yet another Western attempt to create a divisive movement inside of China, traditional Chinese philosophy combined with new-age meditation like something from yet another bad L Ron Hubbard novel.
We all know that the 14th Dalai Lama was working (supposedly, “unintentionally”) for the CIA (the 20-year Tibetan Program) from his admission.
Whatever China is actually doing, it is nothing like what America is doing to the Palestinians and Lebanese, or how it starved 100,000 Iraqi children to death.
Again, I don’t claim to be an expert on Chinese social values but can it really be as bad as what the West has done and is doing?

Jews were given the opportunity to convert to Catholicism, and many did. Loyola was a converted Spanish Jew and he went on to form the Jesuits, in fact many of that sect were originally Jewish. Some opine that these converted Jews simply went on to destroy the Catholics from within, The Jesuits have an interesting history as no doubt many here would know.

You are correct, Hispanidad. It was absolutely necessary, no matter what the beguiled historians, whose minds and whole thought processes are immersed in the myths and lies of the Black Legend, may have put to print. Unfortunately, most people (especially in the Anglo-Saxon west) to this day subscribe to this nonsense, including many on this hallowed portal.
Back in her day it was a time of monarchy and like Catherine the Great of Russia Isabella was a superb Christian woman and leader. She ended over 700 hundred years of Islamic occupation, and expelled the ‘chosen’ in 1492, due to their infiltration and corruption of Spanish society and the Church. As already stated it was necessary.
A good back published in the 1930s about Queen Isaballa can be found here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Isabella-Spain-William-Thomas-Walsh-ebook/dp/B01JHP4H0C/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3FJIXOT97PQPW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WmMlyTsOr5aSV41zID46EJIWg3uDkgcxhlNJgRbQq__GjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.MPB_KAaSjHio_vWX5gB08WNYMR0_e3z8WLEUBcBbVws&dib_tag=se&nsdOptOutParam=true&s=books&sprefix=isabella+of+spain+the+last+crusader%2Cstripbooks%2C94
It is well worth a read to Catholic and non-Catholic alike.
Sorry for being Off Topic, B, but I think the expulsion of the crypto Jews from Spain in 1492 by Isabella and Ferdinand could be relevant to a possible scenario that could unfold in the near future after the coming defeat of the genocidal Zionist entity.
The ‘chosen’ who were expelled from Spain were heavily involved, and in many instances financed it, the so called Reformation across many northern European contries, England, Scotland, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, and of course Germany. It tore western Europe apart and it has never recovered to this day. Hundreds of thousands died in internecine wars for decades afterwards.
When the inevitable happens, that is when most zionist diehards and headcases leave the land that they stole, they will come to the USA, UK, and the EU.
Be prepared for the anarchy and predation that will ensue when they land in your neighbourhood.

Amal Saad @amalsaad_lb
THREAD: Israel’s sweeping evacuation orders and strikes across Baalbek today are yet more evidence of its systematic targeting of Lebanon’s Shia community, reinforcing concerns of an intentional ethnic cleansing campaign. This is not confined to Baalbek; it’s part of a broader strategy that combines direct ethnic cleansing with ethnic cleansing by proxy, as Israel reportedly employs right-wing Christian groups and militias to enforce Shia expulsion—and repeated secondary displacement—on its behalf. 1/
https://x.com/amalsaad_lb/status/1851705730547495361
Israel’s actions go far beyond issuing evacuation orders or targeting overwhelmingly Shia areas in Lebanon, like the South and Beirut’s Dahyeh. Entire historic cities like Baalbek and Tyre have faced both evacuation orders and direct strikes, while entire villages along the border have been leveled through controlled demolitions to ensure they remain uninhabitable, preventing any chance of return—a core element of ethnic cleansing. Residential buildings housing displaced Shia communities across various regions of Lebanon are also under direct attack, underscoring the expansive and deliberate nature of this campaign. 2/

The scale and specificity of these actions point to intentions that surpass both military objectives and targeted displacement, indicating a calculated effort to alter Lebanon’s demographic landscape permanently. For Lebanon’s Shia community, this war has become existential—they are the direct targets of Israel’s campaign, facing Netanyahu’s declared vision of a “New Middle East” in which they have no place. 3/

In Gaza, Israel’s strategic objective is the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, with Hamas perceived as an impediment to this aim due to its role in defending the population. In Lebanon, Hizbullah’s signifcantly greater power and capabilities makes it harder to eliminate directly, so Israel is now focusing on uprooting its foundation—the Shia “resistance community” itself. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to weaken Hizbullah by decapitating its entire military and political leadership and maiming and blinding thousands of its cadres, Israel has shifted to dismantling the community that underpins its support. 4/…….

The first thing any country which is suffering a potential revolution should do is eject all US embassy and consular personnel. Whatever happened to learning from history?

Fortunately the readership didn’t change so the comments section of ZH provides plenty of healthy insights on the regimist articles 😋😋😋

The readership didn’t change…much. But the new owners killed the comment section. I started on ZH on 2009 just as they moved from their blog, then GooTube clipped their wings.
Better than nothing, but if you want full throttle Israel butt-licking check out Kane or Gateway. “My Israel, right or wrong”. Vomit inducing.
The good news is no Foreign Mercenaries are going to arrive to assist in killing babies, although Joe Biden might be useful to sniff babies to death.

Vercingetorix @ 80:
As Jane says @ 87, you need to demonstrate sources and evidence that show Jews having financed the Protestant Reformation across northern Europe.
During the Reformation, there were very few Jews living in England as the majority of them had been expelled from the country by the end of the 13th century. England did not have a substantial Jewish population until after the mid-1600s when Oliver Cromwell began inviting Jewish groups to settle in the country.
Most Jews who left Spain and Portugal after King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued the Alhambra Decree in 1492 went into the Ottoman Empire’s domains in northern Africa and the eastern Mediterranean region, and to Italy. The Netherlands began receiving Jews from Spain and Portugal after winning independence from Spain in the 1580s.
The main reason that the Catholic monarchs expelled Jews from Spain after the Reconquista was that historically Jews had been in service of the Muslim rulers of Granada and other Muslim states that had occupied the Iberian Peninsula for more than 500 years. The new Christian rulers of a united Spain were not sure of Jewish loyalty towards them. The Roman Catholic Church also stood to benefit from Jewish expulsion, in that Jewish civil servants forced to leave Spain could be replaced by people chosen by the Church (often one of its own).

@michealj72
Thank you for all the excellent links, always, you do your due diligence for all of us.
As for the Axios article concerning Schumer? If they pass that bill, we can be guaranteed to be silenced.
I live very close to the border of Mexico, I’ve debated all year as to stay or go? Pretty certain that’ll make it pretty easy for me to go, anti-Zionism is not anti-semitism. Free Free Palestine!
Much love and respect to the bar

Update-Washington CIA Post:
Lebanon (non-existent) Ceasefire
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/idf-hits-north-gaza-s-last-functioning-hospital-officials-say-u-s-envoys-visit-israel/ar-AA1tfbD8
Highlights:
1) Senior Biden administration officials met Thursday with Israel’s prime minister and defense minister in an effort to secure a cease-fire in Lebanon as Israel’s strikes on its northern neighbor continued.
2) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Biden officials that Israel’s priority was to “thwart any threat to its security from Lebanon, in a manner that will return our residents securely to their homes,”
Interesting 🤔
3) Lebanon’s prime minister, Najib Mikati, said in a televised interview Wednesday he had been skeptical that a cease-fire could be reached before the U.S. election, but that after speaking with Hochstein shortly before the interview, he believed that “maybe we can reach a cease-fire in the next few days.” **** He also said that Hezbollah had agreed to “separate the Lebanese front from Gaza,” referring to Hezbollah’s longtime condition***that the group would agree to a truce in Lebanon only after a cease-fire was reached in the Gaza Strip.
Mikati’s optimistic assessment contrasted with comments made by Hezbollah’s new leader, ***Naim Qassem, who said in a speech Wednesday that there was not yet a cease-fire proposal “that Israel agrees to and that is open for us to discuss.” 🤔??People familiar with the negotiations over the last few months, ?? speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter, said ***Hezbollah had agreed to a cease-fire —-before an Israeli strike killed its former leader, Hasan Nasrallah, in late September.
(So… some “people” said Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire that didn’t involve Gaza & Mikati decided ?…who knows what Mikati was doing…)
Sounds like Orc mischief to me…
Anyways…
4) A member of Hamas’s political bureau stated that the group had recently received multiple cease-fire proposals, all of which were rejected. The Hamas official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak publicly, said, “Hamas’s position is firm, the demands are clear, and none of the proposals include a final cease-fire or a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip
So, as expected, political theater before the Big Bang election…
And Iran to strike.
Or Israel.

In my feed today pops up a story about baby powder in the USA being recalled because of contamination with asbestos.
How the hell does asbestos get into baby powder??
Baby powder of all things!
Asbestos!??
So I think to myself: this isn’t accidental.
This is deliberate.
I look up the owners of dynarex corporation and what do I find:

A bunch of grinning small hats.
I tell you, folks. These people are out to kill us in every way possible.
And the evidence is all around you!
