The Israeli army launched a mobilization for 7,000 Haredi Jews.
They are starting to consume themselves—Sinwar’s plan proceeds.
In my experience, all of the high-character Haredi Jews live outside of Israel and are not Zionists.

I have been curious about how food enters and produced in Gaza. I read this NYT article on a micro farm in gaza. the owner was killed after the interview. He was 24.
The bombing has destroyed all of the domestic ability to create food. I imagine much of the food storage for civilians was destroyed.
I have been curious about when starvation kills you. The consensus is 45 to 60 days.
The body enters a ketogenic state without food. Thats where the body uses materials within the body to sustain bodily function. Usually this is body fat. When that is consumed the body consumes other parts of the body. This is very unhealthy. Often the heart starts to be consumed. Ketogenic state is particularly harmful to children. It creates a plethora of health problems. If not fatal it significantly reduces life expectancy.
The best estimates is food has been entering Gaza since the start of the conflict at amounts for one meal every other day. My belief is that the population has been in a ketogenic state for some time.
Now Israel has outlawed UN food distribution. This will amount to a near total cessation of food entering Gaza.
If you took a dog confined it and did not feed it you would face condemnation. Where is the condemnation of artificial famine in Gaza. How long would you expect a dog to live fed every other day?
IMO the genocide in Gaza is not something in the future. It is something in the past to a degree. To a degree it has already occurred. The ban on UN food aid will quickly finish the job. The people of gaza are already in a ketogenic state. They are well into the 45 to 60 day period where no food kills you. The cessation of food into gaza will quickly kill a large portion of the civilian population. The food ban starts in a week or two.
My observation is this genocide is largely supported in the USA by perhaps 75%. Some believe in religious war. They openly express that they dont care about child deaths. Some just dont care it is a abstract. Some see it as the way of the world outside the USA. I have lost faith in humanity. I have lost faith in my nation. I despise both Harris and Trump. I voted for Stein. If we can get a third party in perhaps there can be change before a catastrophe occurs. Guess what. It has already occured. We will be judged by both god and the world.

I wonder too how a population that big eats, and keeps from killing itself. Food is probably the main bribe buying informants.
There are rats, pigeons, ants, grass, leather. All dogs and cats are probably long butchered. There is surely cannibalism. I doubt much edible foliage is left in Palestine, (a lot of plants are edible, just never eaten, and require a lot of boiling).
There is probably still lots of food to be scavenged from blown up houses and pantries for the brave, and killing Israelis might come with the extra bonus of some good food.
There also may beany large unknown caches of food. I dont think Hamas expected the war to last only a few weeks. I have no doubt they planned this war for years, and planned for it lasting years.
But I would like to know too. I hope Palestine wins so we can hear the tales.

I am not sure what to think of slogans like these considering their loss of land has been occurring for around a 100 years – some images showing the changes I looked up randomly measure the changes from 1917, some from 1946 – let alone how many Israel managed to terrorize and harm in that given period of time.
And then there’s the rest of Jewish history. Trying to weigh Jewish behavior against the “Hollowcost” must be causing a mental schism.

It’s a good start if one wants not to kill people , not to allow hand guns.
It’s a good start if one wants not to commit adultery, not to mix the sexes all the time.
It’s a good start if one wants to not bear false witness against people, to have governments that don’t bear false witness ALL the time.
It’s a good start if one wants to honour one’s parents, to know them.
It’s a good start if you want God to give you Paradise, to honour Him with Prayers from time to time.
It’s a good start if you are serking truth, not to follow the mindless inventions of highly manipulative holy men and women.
Loosely put, if you follow the rules and advice of the Creator you’re more likely to get the best out of life.
And if you disobey your Creator by genociding and raping your neighbours, you are stark, staring mad , looking at you Joe Biden.

The fact is that squirrels smile! We know this because Walt Disney prepared us for it, otherwise, nobody would care about squirrels! The narrative feeds on its own seeds, and that is what everyone insists on ignoring: today we build the narrative of the years 2035 and beyond…
In my city, there was a group that was dedicated to feeling sorry for the horses that pulled the carts of garbage recyclers, so they would report and accompany the police to get the barefoot children who drove starving in winter out, so they could rescue the horses, which were also starving. The eight-year-old children who already did this thankless full-time job to feed the rest of their starving family, were discarded, their carts seized and destroyed, and all this without giving them any alternative solution. The human universe works like this: the vigilantes would gather around to discuss their success amidst boxes of pizza and empanadas etc., and without a doubt, to this day, they are still proud of having saved those horses (which is very doubtful). The fact is, the penal system prevents us from killing, but it also prevents us from seeing the punishments and their consequences, so, everything is fine if it is carried out by someone else’s hand, and there are no discussions or blame about it. Our responsibilities end at the tip of our fingers, and that’s it. We can continue watching television, or be moved by squirrels, or perhaps, be indignant without ceasing to be part of everything.
Now… the thing is that the narrative has no colors or ages or species, today it is a squirrel and tomorrow an exotic plant, the day after tomorrow it is the Irish for which Hollywood prepares us year after year, we don’t know…
Or do we?

There is no law if it is not enforced, and there is no justice if it is not enforced fairly.
What Israelis are doing is not illegal, because USA has veto power at the UN, and because the USA and NATO are the enforcers of said “international law”.

‘Detonate! Detonate! Detonate!’ – Resistance Roundup – Day 395

….. Detonate! Detonate! Detonate! Detonate!,” a voice shouted as another faint voice seemed to be urging patience.
Ultimately, the explosive device was detonated, resulting in a massive explosion somewhere in the Qasasib neighborhood in the Jabaliya refugee camp, in northern Gaza.
The brief video, released by Al-Qassam Brigades, showed four Israeli soldiers running to shelter beside a massive Merkava tank. It was unclear why the soldiers were running in the first place.
As soon as they reached the tank, the two Palestinian voices appeared, one urging patience, the other screaming that the detonation button should be immediately pressed.
At the end, both fighters shouted: “God is great!
” before the video abruptly ended.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.

Oxfam reaction to Israel’s ban of UNRWA
Home
Oxfam GB Media Centre
Press releases
– Published: 28 Oct 2024
– Short URL: https://www.oxfam.org.uk/mc/zjcphd/
In reaction to the Knesset passing bills banning UNRWA from operating in areas under Israel’s control, Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam Regional Director in the Middle East and North Africa said: “Israel has bombed Palestinians to death, maimed them, starved them, and is now ridding them of their biggest lifeline of aid. Piece by piece, Israel is systemically dismantling Gaza as a land that is autonomous and liveable for Palestinians. Its banning of UNRWA today is condemnable and another step in this crime.
“The decision will further undermine the ability of the international community to provide sufficient humanitarian aid and to save lives in any safe, independent and impartial way.
“UNRWA is not only the biggest and most established agency that has been delivering aid and sustenance to the people of Gaza for years, it is also a thread that connected them in some hope of solidarity and security to the United Nations.
“We are in no doubt that Israel and its allies are fully aware of the terrible consequences that this decision will have on Palestinians living in Gaza, many of whom are already starving. We join others in warning again that this will result in more death, more suffering, and more forced displacement of people from their besieged homeland. It is impossible not to believe that this is their aim.”
Notes to the Editor
Read the Bill for the Cessation of UNRWA Activities in the Territory of the State of Israel, 5784–2024; and Bill for the Cessation of UNRWA Activities, 5784–2024
Read Oxfam and over 50 humanitarian and human rights agencies’ global appeal to defend UNRWA from Israeli ban
The rights of Palestine Refugees exist separate to UNRWA, including the right of return, which was set out in resolution 194, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, and predates the creation of UNRWA in 1949. Besides the right to return, the right to family unity and the right to reparations would also remain in UNRWA’s absence, as would the refugee camps of Gaza and the West Bank.

Malaysia seeks Israel’s expulsion from United Nations
Muslim-majority Malaysia has been a vocal critic of Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has led to more than 43,000 deaths
Malaysia will seek the support of Arab nations at an emergency summit next week for a proposal to expel Israel from the United Nations, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim told lawmakers, accusing it of violating international law and UN directives in its unrelenting war on Gaza.
…
Muslim-majority Malaysia has been a vocal critic of Israel’s assault on Gaza, banning the entry of Israeli shipping giant Zim while Malaysians have been actively boycotting businesses perceived to be linked to the US, Israel’s principal ally and arms supplier.
Anwar, who has led the outcry, said Malaysia stood firm in its support for the Palestinians to establish their sovereign state, free of the “dispossession, terrorism, cruelty and genocide” committed by Israel.

Indi.Ca in fine form – very useful
Aircraft or Missiles – neat quote: America can print money but they can’t print missiles, they’ve deindustrialized so much they’d need China’s help to bomb China.
The End Of White Air Supremacy
America has lost white air supremacy. They bet the farm on stealth fighters and they’re a long way from Kansas now. Cheap drones and accurate rockets have made a mockery of western air defense and offense. This is a real sea change in air warfare. We are now in the age of unmanned missiles, not manned fighter jets, and America has missed the boat entirely.
[…]
For decades America and the greater White Empire had white air supremacy and used it with such violent prolificacy. They imposed no-fly zones wherever they wanted, and rained death from above whenever they felt like it, which was often. America’s whole strategy was based on the manned plane model, and unmanned technology has upended it all since October 7th. As Professor John Mearsheimer said in an interview with an absolute moron,
What I’m telling you, is the conventional wisdom in the West, that ‘Israel’ is on a roll, that ‘Israel’ is in the driver’s seat, is simply wrong. If you look at what’s happening in Gaza, if you look at what’s happening with regards to Hezbollah, and Iran, ‘Israel’ is in trouble. And I want to point out here, that the key variable is the coming of sophisticated missiles and rockets. When I was very young and used to study the ‘Israeli’/Arab conflicts, what we focused on in those days was army to army and air-to-air engagements. And the ‘Israelis’ invariably defeated the Arab armies, whether you’re talking about ’48, ’56, ’67, ’73, those big wars. And it looked, up until October 7th, like the ‘Israelis’ were really in the driver’s seat. That they faced no serious threat. Then October 7th happened and what became manifestly apparent to all sorts of people, including me, was that there was this really wicked rocket and missile threat against ‘Israel’ that ‘Israel’ had no way of dealing with.
Mearsheimer is talking about a tectonic shift in military technology. The age of the manned plane is out and the age of the unmanned missile is in. This is like the discovery of the longbow or gunpowder or diesel. It makes an entire generation and tradition of warfare obsolete.

They call this the last working hospital in the noth Gaza Strip, followed by the remark that the hospital has no water or medicine.
———————-
We just learned that Kamal Adwan Hospital has been targeted by Israeli quadcopters. We’re not sure yet if there have been any injuries, but this is not the first time the hospital has been targeted.
There are people still trying to rescue and pull more bodies from the al-Masry family house in Beit Lahiya, where at least 25 Palestinians were killed, including 13 children.
There have been no ambulances, and no civil defence teams for the past 24 hours after Israeli forces forced them to evacuate.
There have been leaflets asking the people in Beit Lahiya to evacuate from that area.
There is only one hospital working in the northern Gaza Strip, and that is Kamal Adwan. It has no water or medicine.
– Al Jazeera live blog
————————–
I do not understand how Israel can simply end the UNWRA programs. This is a UN agency and the Israelis are members of the UN. Since the ICJ has found that Israel is occupying Palestinian territories and doing so illegally, Israel has an obligation to provide for the people of Palestine. They were given a year (what a joke) to end the occupation. But given that they have no intention of allowing food, water, medicine, etc in, why hasn’t the UN acted to compel them to do so, and to also compel them to allow UNWRA function?
It’s a pointless question, isn’t it? The UN is owned by Israel and the US and Israel will be allowed to finish what they started 75 years ago – the death or expulsion of every single Palestinian.
This has been a terribly clarifying year for people who are paying attention. Israel is no victim and the US is no shining city on a hill. Anyone who didn’t know it before surely knows it now.

Several European financial firms cut ties with Israeli companies
“…., Several of Europe’s biggest financial firms have cut ties with Israeli companies or those linked to the country, according to a Reuters analysis of filings.
The move comes amid mounting pressure from activists and governments to end the war in Gaza.
UniCredit put Israel on a “forbidden” list as the conflict escalated in October last year, said a source familiar with the matter, confirming a study by Dutch NGO Pax.
Meanwhile, Norwegian asset manager Storebrand and French insurer Axa have divested from some Israeli firms, including banks.
“We don’t know whether this represents the beginning of a shift in the industry, one that recognises the power banks have in choosing where to allocate capital and where not,” said Martin Rohner, executive director of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values, which focuses on sustainable financing.….”

Thanks for the clarification. Pepe also said that Harris = Clinton gang.
Actually I would appreciate some opinion on how these election results will affect the next 6 months in the Middle East.

Internecine politics.
Gallant had to voice concerns from the military establishment, which increasingly distanced itself from Bibi’s regime internally.
This is good for the Axis that Bibi fired Gallant. Bibi can only rule with the support of the IDF and that support has started to weaken. The Zionists are so predictably weak spiritually. They want to bully and kill but they have glass chins. They can kill 50,000 Palestinians but cannot imagine 50,000 losses on their side.
Even if Bibi shuffled his mortal coil today, the next 3 or 10 Israeli leaders would have essentially the same policy. The problem Bibi faces is that after years of political shenanigans (like Erdogan, he is a consummate political operator), he’s burned all but his last bridge or two.
Early signs of Israeli collapse abound.

Don’t underestimate the Western press’s role in suppressing news of beheaded Palestinian girls (and other Zionazi atrocities).

resolution calling for Israel’s expulsion if it continues to violate international law concerning Palestine.

IF?
I suppose diplomatic language is required. But the idea that Israel is even capable of that kind of restraint is ridiculous.

#Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This move will not change the war’s dynamic but will reduce the number of critical voices against @Netanyahu inside the government. Israel Katz, the foreign minister, replaced Gallant

German government advances law banning BDS
Draft legislation calls for no funding of any group, or organization that spreads antisemitism, questions Israel’s right to exist, calls for a boycott of Israel
Germany’s ruling coalition is advancing legislation that would prevent funding for the Boycott Divest Sanction (BDS) movement and bolster the fight against antisemitism……

It’s a shame that @YoavGallant is leaving because I was eager to watch him (be) humiliated by the Lebanese resistance when he said, “Hezbollah was defeated and now will be destroyed” ” He got away with it.

1) Person minding their business
2) Israelis arrive looking for confrontation while also playing victim
3) Israelis lash out
4) Person responds
5) Israelis treat response like an unprovoked offense and escalate

If the US enters the conflict it’s bases will definitely get destroyed.
Posted by: David G Horsman | Nov 5 2024 20:13 utc | 178
So? They’ll make more. I really don’t think Bibi does anything without serious coordination with US. The rest is a script for msm. It seems previous responses from Iran were too weak and no one cared, because US and Israel are one thing, not two things. If they try more, they get nuked. The fear is growing because both nuclear and non-nuclear states see what happens to the one with more nukes than the rest combined. If they get bombed all day long and still beg for surrender in Istanbul, what do you expect others to do?

Germany still a US vassal state since end WWII:

Many of the other replies make Germany look like an independent nation that can do anything without the permission or coersion of Uncle Shmuel.
But then I remember: that isn’t necessarily a pro-Russian thread, which would otherwise entail (most of the time) that participants are aware of Germany’s subservience to the Anglo-Zionist cabal, at least enough to see it as a contributing factor to Germany’s (mis)behavior.
Moreover, where does one draw the line between “cancel-culture” and boycotting an entire country’s products due to the actions of a corrupt regime? Why do these companies deserve to suffer profit losses just for being based in the ‘wrong’ country? Is that not ‘collective punishment’

New guy sounds same as the old guy. But then they are all hard to tell apart.

Israel’s newly-appointed defence minister, Israel Katz, vowed on Tuesday to prioritise the return of Israel’s hostages from Gaza and the “destruction” of Hamas and Hezbollah, in his first post on X since accepting the role.
“We will work together to march the security system to victory against our enemies and to achieve the goals of the war: the return of all the abductees as the most important value mission, the destruction of Hamas in Gaza, the defeat of Hezbollah in Lebanon, the containment of Iranian aggression and the return of the residents of the north and south to their homes in safety,” he said.

And added to live blog a few minutes later:
Yoav Gallant has been an “important partner” for the US on all matters related to Israel’s security, a White House National Security Council spokesperson said on Tuesday, following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to dismiss Gallant as defence minister.
“As close partners, we will continue to work collaboratively with Israel’s next Minister of Defense,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

They (US) may want to use the word “collaboratively” with caution these days. It’s really not a good look during a holocaust.

You are right, Newbie. Just remember, every pro-genocide veto the U.S. cast makes the U.S. look more and more evil and repugnant. Respect for the U.S. Empire is falling fast: One country should bring it up for a vote every week and force the world to see the true evil empire.
