New Reports On Gaza
Mainstream seem to have largely stopped to report about Gaza. But the Zionist genocide of the people in Gaza continues. Haaretz continues to document how the Zionist forces on the ground do it:
'No Civilians. Everyone's a Terrorist': IDF Soldiers Expose Arbitrary Killings and Rampant Lawlessness in Gaza's Netzarim Corridor - (archived) - Haaretz
'Of 200 bodies, only 10 were confirmed as Hamas members': IDF soldiers who served in Gaza tell Haaretz that anyone who crosses an imaginary line in the contested Neztarim corridor is shot to death, with every Palestinian casualty counting as a terrorist – even if they were just a child
The Neztarim corridor is a line from the eastern border of Gaza to the ocean. The Zionist smashed all buildings in the are to separate norther Gaza from the south. Every day the soldiers who 'guard' the corridor are ordered to commit arbitrary murder:
The Netzarim corridor, a seven-kilometer-wide strip of land, stretches from near Kibbutz Be'eri to the Mediterranean coast. The IDF has emptied this area of Palestinian residents and demolished their homes to construct military roads and military positions.While Palestinians are officially prohibited from entering, the reality is more severe than a simple exclusion zone. "It's military whitewashing," explains a senior officer in Division 252, who has served three reserve rotations in Gaza. "The division commander designated this area as a 'kill zone.' Anyone who enters is shot."
This in not the doing of rogue soldiers but military policy:
"We approached the blood-covered body, photographed it, and took the phone. He was just a boy, maybe 16." An intelligence officer collected the items, and hours later, the fighters learned the boy wasn't a Hamas operative – but just a civilian. "That evening, our battalion commander congratulated us for killing a terrorist, saying he hoped we'd kill ten more tomorrow," the fighter adds. "When someone pointed out he was unarmed and looked like a civilian, everyone shouted him down. The commander said: 'Anyone crossing the line is a terrorist, no exceptions, no civilians. Everyone's a terrorist.'
...
In another incident, observation posts spotted two people walking toward Wadi Gaza, an area designated as restricted. A drone revealed they were carrying a white flag and walking with raised hands. The deputy battalion commander ordered troops to shoot to kill. When one commander protested, pointing out the white flag and suggesting they might be hostages, he was overruled. "I don't know what a white flag is, shoot to kill," the deputy commander, a reservist from Brigade 5, insisted. The two people eventually turned back south, but the protesting commander was berated as a coward.
...
A Division 99 reservist describes watching a drone feed showing "an adult with two children crossing the forbidden line." They were walking unarmed, seemingly searching for something. "We had them under complete surveillance with the drone and weapons aimed at them – they couldn't do anything," he says. "Suddenly we heard a massive explosion. A combat helicopter had fired a missile at them. Who thinks it's legitimate to fire a missile at children? And with a helicopter? This is pure evil."
It is not just the arbitrary killing of everyone in sight within some kill corridor but the systematic deprivation of the whole population of water, food and medical necessities.
Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF) is the latest of many such organizations which state that this is an obviously intentional genocide:
Gaza death trap: MSF report exposes Israel’s campaign of total destruction - MSF
“People in Gaza are struggling to survive apocalyptic conditions, but nowhere is safe, no one is spared, and there is no exit from this shattered enclave,” says Christopher Lockyear, MSF secretary general, who visited Gaza earlier this year.“The recent military offensive in the north is a stark illustration of the brutal war the Israeli forces are waging on Gaza, and we are seeing clear signs of ethnic cleansing as Palestinians are forcibly displaced, trapped, and bombed,” says Lockyear. “What our medical teams have witnessed on the ground throughout this conflict is consistent with the descriptions provided by an increasing number of legal experts and organisations concluding that genocide is taking place in Gaza.”
“While we don’t have legal authority to establish intentionality, the signs of ethnic cleansing and the ongoing devastation – including mass killings, severe physical and mental health injuries, forced displacement, and impossible conditions of life for Palestinians under siege and bombardment – are undeniable,” Lockyear adds.
From the report:
Throughout the offensive, Israeli forces have blocked essential items such as food, water and medical supplies from entering the Strip. They have either denied, delayed or instrumentalised humanitarian assistance, allowing insignificant quantities of aid into Gaza with a complete disregard for the actual needs and the level of suffering of the population.
Each day the Zionist army continues to kill dozens in Gaza by force. But less noticed are those who die from the lack of means needed for living. Each week thousands perish because some fanatics believe that their sheer existence makes them superior to others.
It doesn't.

They "religiously" follow the Babylonian Talmudist agenda with the aim of total world control...a 2,500 year old scheme, based upon some words in a book which claims that some people are more human than anyone else...the 99.56 percent of humanity whom they consider as "Goyim", aka mere cattle.

In the strategy of Killing the Peace Makers/Negotiators/Diplomats, the enlistment of Islamist Traitors, self-hating opportunists, therein is the rationale to start killing the Killers.
The dusty old, self-serving, pick from the menu book of Gott-approved killings, there is a death wish inherent which marches the tribe closer and closer to the flame of the candle.
Maybe, just maybe, the staggering U.S. Debt can be overcome by economic growth, maybe not, but whether it is 4 years or 40 years, the choices today are going to come back to haunt Israel.

When I was active duty we worked with the IDF on a regular basis. Then I retired and became a DOD civ and still worked with IDF at various times. I retired finally in 2021. The change in attitude with the Israelis over decades was amazing. Zionist Religious apartheid or maybe even call it fascism was every where at the end. Its much like you see here in the US with Evangelicals. Who also believe they are gods chosen and openly state we will help Israel because we know that will bring on Armageddon and Jesus WILL come back and rapture us to heaven. Too Bad the Jew's and the rest of the world dies. They will not accept what if you are wrong and you started a world war that ends life in general on this planet. This zealotry in any religion is dangerous and is becoming more each day all over the world.

It is a genocide befitting the Anglo Saxon model followed in the 19th century and puts the entirety of the Western MSM to shame: revealing that 'never again' is little more than a slight of hand produced by pusillanimity and/or actual imperial complicity. There is a massive yet simultaneously obvious conspiracy on the part of the Western MSM to cover up the accelerated game whose end goal is the construction of Greater Israel, a self-defined fundamentally Western neo-entity (even in its present form) a la a Texas or a French Algeria in the Middle East, yet one that has entirely abandoned Enlightenment-era principals of even an aspirational universal justice and equality for the grossest sort of ethnic supremacism seen since WWII. However Hamas shares more than a little of the blame, nay it clearly is a gross nonsensical nihilist creature of Israel and the US, for even if it's convinced itself its telos in the long term is diametrically the opposite of the former, it is complete insanity, at the least, for it to think—to ever have thought—it is in control.

Israelites are all anti semites as was so rightly stated by the Irish government. Palestine and all Palestinians are Semites, Arabic or Aramaic speaking peoples.
If antisemitism is a crime, Israel is the most guilty party. They no longer have the right to be the accuser.

I was married to a Jew, but the British State and her annoyance at the normal limitations of marriage forced me to leave. While two timing the next door neighbour and a local builder, she got my twelve year old daughter mearly raped by the builder and convinced my son hexwas gay, all the while training to be a vicar in the Church of England, proclaiming the Good News that only Free Love was true love.
In the end, she had to leave her beautiful home , stables and paddocks because the constant stream of swingers visiting the house by invitation of the builder was too embarrassing to disguise.
Nothing about Ashkenazi Jews will ever shock me. The are the world's biggest
Before her mum died she kept everything secret, but the second her mum died , the same night , she went off gallivanting.
The British State has radically changed after Mrs Thatcher and her necrophiliac boyfriend Jimmy Saville. The Jews have taken over, together with their Zionist - supporting nest of spies in London , Muslim Brotherhood, and Salafis.
I would love to see how Saudi Arabia and Qatar get the dogshit of their roles in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria off their John Lobb shoes. Thexarchbishop of Canterbury's resignation after covering up obscene sexual abuse of children, is unlikely to lift the lid on all the lies.

With the high participation of the population in this atrocity we can look forward to a worse epidemic of suicides and depression in the Zionist state that will tear the country apart. Richly deserved. May they all rot in hell.

Speaking as an outsider, I would say that the culture of dating , from early teens, is now normalised in Britain , but not as completely as in the US.
Child rape is now the norm, not the exception.
So how is it possible in societies that are fully occupied by the emotional trauma , normalised by child rape , of laissez faire, can anybody be expected to care about the immorality of genocide.
It's often said that the Jews created all the immorality in our Western society, but we didn't know what their end purpose was until now. To normalise genocide.

.. .reminds me of General Mattis, US Marine Corps. . .
In 2005, he offered this commentary on war: “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.” He continued: “Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”
At the time, after the remarks made some waves, Marine commandant Gen. Michael Hagee noted that Mattis “often speaks with a great deal of candor.”
And it was in Iraq prior to that.

Is Israel hiding an essential truth about October 7th?
Did Hamas' written detailed plan for October 7th, captured by Israel a year before the jail break,
have that essential truth written in it?
Hamas claimed that it avoided civilian casualties on October 7th, 2023.
Knowing that Israel has a history of killing 100 or more Palestinian civilians in retaliation
for one Israeli death, Hamas had reason to avoid Israeli civilian casualties.
Israel, which for decades has sought to ethnically cleanse all of Palestine, had a motive
for using the Hannibal Doctrine on Oct 7th. A motive beyond the limiting of the number of Israeli hostages.
The more Israeli civilian casualties the more ire and wrath it could create in support of it's genocidal
goals.
Israel has in it's possession Hamas' detailed plan for October 7th. Will the public ever
see something other than the Limited Hangouts provided thus far?
Does Hamas' plan discuss their intention to limit civilian casualties?
Is Israel hiding this fact from the public?
The report said Hamas planned to target Israeli military sites and to capture soldiers, which could be used to pressure the Israeli authorities to release thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.The group said that avoiding harming civilians “is a religious and moral commitment” by fighters of Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades.
“If there was any case of targeting civilians; it happened accidentally and in the course of the confrontation with the occupation forces,” read the report.
It added that “maybe some faults happened” during the attack “due to the rapid collapse of the Israeli security and military system, and the chaos caused along the areas near Gaza.
“Many Israelis were killed by the Israeli army and police due to their confusion,” it added.

The Zionazi's will get their way and continue to ethnically cleanse the Gaza concentration camp in a way that is reminiscent of what happened during WWII. The West Bank will be ethnically cleansed by their chief collaborator Mahmoud Abbas who is protected at all costs. And now we see that the Zionazi entity in its quest for Lebensraum has set its gaze on both southern Lebanon and south eastern Syria.

"This in not the doing of rogue soldiers but military policy..."
...And government/"Israeli" policy. I say that after reading an article clearly showing attempts to shift blame down the ranks (sorry no link). In effect, it was criticising military policy of allowing local unit commanders absolute freedom of action, where decision making was not expected to be passed via higher command. This is obviously not due to lack of coms capacity. Div 99 and the combat helicopter mentioned is a clear demonstration of that.
The result is that higher command or politicians are able to say "We did not authorise this genocidal activity, we allowed necessary leeway for critical assessments, and the military got carried away" , and the military will say "We did not authorise this kind of activity, the lack of pre-communication was to not slow decision making in critical environment, local commanders got carried away" and local commanders will say "We could not oversee the actions of every element, in a hostile environment the individual will formulate their own definition of self defense, unfortunately that gave rise to more casualties than might have been necessary, but that is war" .
And yet, the facts are so blatantly obvious that there is no way, I mean none whatsoever, that any half impartial individual or authority can look at them and not say "This was clearly genocide orchestrated from the highest offices of the state of "Israel" with the knowing complicity of a near totality of those who were or became involved, and including of civilian population" .
That is not meant as a verdict, it is a straightforward and obvious truth.

A few morally principled ones among the 20% are speaking the truth and calling it genocide.

There are many Israelis living abroad who are dedicated to BDS and ending Zionism. Shir Hever for example. Check out his interview on the Electronic Intifada Youtube channel.
These few will restore your faith in humanity. But, yes, it’s totally true that the overwhelming majority of Israelis are morally sick, judeo-supremicist cheerers for genocide.

"However Hamas shares more than a little of the blame, nay it clearly is a gross nonsensical nihilist creature of Israel and the US, for even if it's convinced itself its telos in the long term is diametrically the opposite of the former, it is complete insanity, at the least, for it to think—to ever have thought—it is in control."
Many Palestinians realised that there was no soft road to 'participation'. "Israel" demographically could not absorb the Palestinians for being eventually outnumbered and voted out of power. This was known by all sides and "Israeli" policy reflected that, of continuously segregating, expelling or confining Palestinians, while continuously encroaching on their land and any ability to organise.
A 'dual state solution' only could include those that recognised "Israel" , therefore they were looking for the ultimate territorial concession of the Palestinians in return for allowing (a governed form of) Palestinian self rule on a minimalised area. This was known impossible to accept, because "Israel" was in no way going to return land continuously taken and built on since the newer dual state concept was placed on the table.
Hamas did not think it was in control, it was/is in political control of Gaza. That was by vote, and so you are saying democracy is a falsity. I might agree, but I think what you mean to imply is that Hamas never had dominant position in the conflict. Again I might agree, it is a resistance movement after all, and so had not the pretense of reclaiming Palestine solely by force of might. The resulting conclusion though is to be saying that your own government is a falsity and that for it to assume it has any form of control (including in resisting invasion) is a complete insanity. That might be true, and might also explain why politicians instead just put their countries up for sale, but it also seems nihilistic to me.
And of course Hamas is a creature of "Israel" and the US, without those it would not (would have reason to) exist as it does, and so wouldn't.

As for the helicopter firing a missile at "an adult with two children", aside from the evilness of this act, it is also incredible that this undisciplined expenditure -- of missiles , not bullets -- is to fire at an industrial scale but without the industrial output to support it. Even if the point is to kill as many civilians as possible, at that rate, it would take 66,666 missiles to kill 2 million people. The IDF is spoiled, used to getting all the missiles and munitions it has ever needed from the US, but how long can that last? The US-NATO cupboard is becoming bare.
Meanwhile, the US navy is profligately throwing missiles at cheap Houthi drones. Not to mention the ongoing Ukraine proxy war. I have wondered if one of the purposes of the attempted coup in South Korea was to take over Korean industrial output to supply all these fronts. Korea has a sizable arms industry, not to mention having the second largest ship-building capacity in the world.

What does Erdogan, HTS, Qatar, Hamas and the tortured prisoners in the Syrian jails have in common? The Muslim Brotherhood. What are the origins of the Muslim Brotherhood? It started out in Egypt after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and an abolishment of the Caliph. However, during WW2, Hitler used the organization to create factions within the Turkic Muslim population within the Soviet Union. When Germany fell, MI-6 and the CIA adopted them to continue the war against the USSR, as they were the only organization that understood the USSR and had experience fighting it. This alliance between Western intelligence and the Muslim Brotherhood spawned the Mujahideen and Bin Laden.
Why is this significant? Because this war instigated by Hamas, has led to the genocide of the Palestinians and the destruction of Syria. If anyone thinks this is some seat of the pants operation thrown together they are wacked. I recently heard an interview from Qaddafi in the 80s in which he stated that Syria is next and they want Turkey and Israel to share a border. The only person who got this right as he specifically addressed the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas's alliance with them is Thierry Meyssan.

"Each week thousands perish because some fanatics believe that their sheer existence makes them superior to others."
Not merely some fanatics, but the entire state of Israel. This is a painful but important lesson in who the Zionists really are. I ask, in what significant way does their outlook and conduct differ from the Nazis?
It does not. We are dealing with a reemergence of the same ideology and conduct. They must be treated as the Nazis were after WW2. Anyone who apologizes for this regime is equivalent to a Nazi apologist. They should receive no more respect that what a Nazi would receive.
Also, that this genocide persists for so long is a good lesson on the limits of nationalism. Even a benign nationalism like we see in Russia today cannot do what it's Soviet predecessor did in exterminating such an inhuman regime.
Only an international, class based revolutionary movement can defeat the Zionazis.

I worked a few years for a satellite communications company owned by a major US corporation. While I was working there it was purchased by an Israeli electronics company. It was quite a surprise to me that US satellites would be under the control of a foreign entity, but when they threw a big party at the Smithsonian, I came to understand how intertwined the two countries are. The Israelis I worked with were quite irritable, took everything too seriously, and were at times abusive to others. They were also openly racist, which I thought was rather out of place for corporate America. Call them on it, and they would deny it. They laid off hundreds of people that had worked there all of their lives, and put the work in the hands of new hires that worked cheap for long hours.
This was back when the Internet was still new. I learned a lot about Zionism and Judaism in general. Frankly, I don't care for it, but I'm not a religious type. From my reading, I came to see Hitler as a Jewish construct designed to create a "holocaust" that Judaism would use to get the sympathy they would need to get what they wanted in Palestine.
I told an Israeli I was traveling with that "god" did not give them Isreal, the Balfour Agreement gave it to them. One would have thought that I had cut his toe off. He threatened to "end my career", and sure enough I was kicked out in the next round of layoffs.
A few years later I was working for a Jewish-owned cable television service. I told a manager that the way they were organizing workloads was not "kosher". He blew up like a bomb and called me racist. Isn't "kosher" Yiddish?...I asked, and I was told that only Jews should use the word. I told him to chill out, and stop playing victim. He said he would have my head, like some sort emperor. I spit on the office floor and left. He couldn't fire me, though...they were desperate for knowledgeable people that would work for pennies. That cable guy in your house could well be an ex-con...contractors like those guys hire them all the time.
One of the things I am enjoying now days is reading mainstream articles about what's going on in Gaza and Lebanon. The people in the comments sections trying to justify Isreali actions are quite a hoot. I hit them with truth and run. They aren't worth debating with, as they could not possibly ever be wrong about anything.
The whole idea of "Isreali" occupation of Palestine is based on a religious fairy tale. No way should it have been allowed...except that Western capitalism needed a toehold in Arab oil land.
Still, I wonder how Israel manages to pull so much control over our Western governments. Banking is a long-held Jewish tradition, but that doesn't really go far enough. I have a suspicion that Israel has wired nukes in major Western cities, and could set them off via satellite whenever the situation requires it.
Yeah, that's a little paranoid...but it would also explain a lot. Secret videos of sexually compromised celebrities and politicians just isn't all that sufficient to control the leaders of a society. When will we ever see one of these videos? Epstein and Diddy could have released them at any time, but most of the populace see elite as morally bereft anyway, and no one would be surprised.
Israel has always been about Western conquest. I'm not a big fan of the human race. I really wish there was a god... but if the god chooses folks like this to be his favorite, well...it isn't worth believing in.

ChakaChahgan@2025. Dec 19
Deep researchers have generally concluded that the term "Israel" is composed of an amalgamation of no fewer than THREE prior deities. Isis is the clear identify of the "Is" in that term. "Ra" is the name of the ancient Egyptian solar diety. "El", as a deity signifies the planet Saturn.
Thus, at some point in Hebrew history was developed this amalgam of gods and a goddess as the overall name of the postulated TEN LOST Tribes who made up for the part of Palestine known as Israel. The other two tribes, those of Judah and Benjamin became the land of Judah, in the Deep South of ancient Palestine.
There is no truth in the claims of the presumed existence of Abraham and Sarah, "Braham", "Bhrama" and today's Brahmin class in India. This was the basis for Abie-Babie and Sarah was a river in the domain of the Brahmans. The "great" kingdom of the ancient Hebrews, centrally David and Solomon, were also made-up entities, most probably concocted by the Septuagint. That group of Hebrew scholars in Alexandria, then the largest collection of Hebraics in the Ptolemaic Era in Egypt.
They had access to ALL the old legends, myths and history of the ancient world, all collected in the magnificent Library of Alexandria. That library was mostly destroyed by the Romans when Caesar conquered Egypt and several centuries later by the self-described "Christians" under a so-called bishop who was intent on destroying all records which did not follow the narratives of the Emperor Constantine, as exemplified by his "Holy" Bible.
So now you have been exposed to some outline parts of the real history which we are not sposta know.

I think that is an unfair statement to make against Lysias. He brings up a valid point. Both Hitler and Herzl lived in Vienna at the same time. From what I remember from a book I read that discussed both their lives during in fin de siecle Vienna, was that they both felt similarly in their disdain for Austrian society. Hitler went toward the Völkisch movement, and Herzl refined his Zionist theories. I'm not a historian, and I've been trying to find the book to put in a link to no avail, so I could be wrong. If I am, someone please correct me. That's how I remember it. So I think the question Lysias raises isn't stupid.

You are on the track about the Abrahamic belief system. THEY like to claim that their imposed belief system is the same as faith. NO fuggin way! Belief is a system of imposed false reality systems. Faith is NOT imposed, rather it is indigenous to our species, beings within the spiritual dimension who are currently existing in a material (and materialistic) dimension.
Yes, it is all about fear and submission, as you so clearly implicate. Do bear in mind that while many hold that the opposite of love happens to be hatred...that hatred is merely a derivative of FEAR...an imposed false sense of reality which is not found within higher dimensionl Real-Eye-Zation.

Once Israel has consolidated sufficient power in Palestine (almost done), Syria and Lebanon it will attack Iran with USA. Closing Syria and Lebanon for possible counter strikes on Israel is what happens now. A very dangerous time ahead. Russia should target Israel with a devastating nuclear strike to save the region and Russian interests. Israel can't be defended from a nuclear strike given its size and options available for its people to leave it behind.

Though my original research notes have been lost; I had accessed sites which proposed that in 1913, Hitler had traveled to Britain and was processed and probably hypnotized by mind-control specialists in the Tavistock Institute in London.
The possibility that Adolf may have been under hypnotic suggestion by nefarious programmers; we should consider his decision not to destroy the Dunkirk pocket in May-June of 1940. Had Hitler eliminated those more than 300,000 Brits and several tens of thousands of French troops; it is highly likely that the Royal Army would have lost virtually all of its cadre and been reduced to poorly trained conscripts and suchlike.
Hitler's strategy, had it been to win the war, would have included a squeeze on the Franco regime in Spain to allow German forces to move on Gibralter and to remove it as the thorn in the hide which it ultimately became. Likewise, Malta. At that point he should have moved in on Egypt with an earlier version of the Africa Korps, along with the Italians and rapidly overrun British defenses in Egypt.
However, the Hitlerian strategy was Operation Barbarossa, where he took on the Russians, hoping for a rapid victory which never eventuated. Rather, by means of occupying all of Egypt and then wiped out the smallish British garrison in Palestine; the road to the oilfields in the Middle East would have simply been a matter of course.
Most of the moves I've just postulated were certainly considered by the Wehrmacht General Staff and likely was favored by the more foresighted amongst them.
The thesis that Hitler was under British mind control should be given due consideration. Even without having been Tavistocked, Hitler's strategic vision was that of a Bavarian Lance-Corporal in WWI. As a military strategist, he was acting at a level which was waaaay beyond his conceptualization of military strategy as well as geopolitical understanding.

It's an offensively dishonest abuse of language by the West's jewed-up Main Stream Media to describe what the jews are doing in Gaza as a "War".
Once upon a time, the word "War" used to mean two similarly well-armed groups fighting each other to secure a military advantage. In Gaza, a lightly armed and legitimate resistance movement is trying to defend itself from an army equipped with expensive weapon systems (main battle tanks and fighter-bomber jet planes) which allow it to kill Gazans from a safe distance.
That is a slaughter-fest. It is NOT a "War".

The willingness of 'The West' to accept this horror is reflected here as much as in any pro-zionist amerikan or englander fishwrap.
I only came in here because the 1st thing that caught my eye was the woeful number of responses to b's post.
Any other leading article b. posts is usually up around 150-200 posts this long after the initial post.
Amerikan college kids meekly returned to class after the summer holiday. I recognise that college campuses are verboten from the point of encampments but that doesn't prevent groups of students who actually care about stopping the genocide from taking action off campus, but there has been very little of that.
That in itself tends to demonstrate that student protest against the horrors being visited upon Palestinians by the west in general and the illegal zionist squatters in particular was a sort of lifestyle option; popular for as long as the trend lasted "but now it's time to go for my meal-ticket" think the former student 'protesters'.
I cannot talk of course as I have barely participated in discussion here just as many others did not.
In the end it doesn't matter whether that is indolence or a reaction to perceived hypocrisy, the effect is the same, silence when there should be objection shouted from every rooftop.
Since the media has been effective in it's 'hear no evil, see no evil' stance on the horror, it behooves us who are appalled by it to come up with protest measures which media can neither ignore outright or conceal the motive of.

It's not just the Israelis. The entire west, with emphasis in the Anglosphere, is in the grip of the Zionist supremacist delirium. The whole affair is an expression of unfettered western supremacism hiding behind the past tribulations of Jewish communities as a cover up.
Even in this forum there are regular afficionados of the Zionazi regime like the poster "Milites" and various Latino fascists. The mentality of the Israelis is the true belief system of such westerners when the facade of political correctness is removed (trying to avoid public exposure of their true feelings and views towards the nations they deem inferior).
And if we are to be realistic, the Palestinians appear to be toast. The devastation of Lebanon and especially Syria, has left them effectively abandoned. The major Arab states and the infamous jihadists who, per western propaganda, hate the west for its "freedoms", are fully collaborating with the Zionist regime and the Anglo-American empire.

'No Civilians. Everyone's a Terrorist': IDF Soldiers Expose Arbitrary Killings and Rampant Lawlessness in Gaza's Netzarim Corridor - (archived) - Haaretz
'Of 200 bodies, only 10 were confirmed as Hamas members': IDF soldiers who served in Gaza tell Haaretz that anyone who crosses an imaginary line in the contested Neztarim corridor is shot to death, with every Palestinian casualty counting as a terrorist – even if they were just a child...
------------------------------------------------------
The Vietnam War body count controversy centers on the counting of enemy dead by the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War (1955–1975). There are issues around killing and counting unarmed civilian non-combatants (and children, remember the My Lai Massacre Ed.) as enemy combatants, as well as inflating the number of actual enemies... Wikipedia
--------------------------------------------------------
Jan 28, 2013 · On March 16, 1968, between 347 and 504 unarmed Vietnamese civilians were gunned down by members of the U.S. Army in what became known as the My Lai Massacre. The U.S. government has maintained that atrocities like this were isolated incidents in the conflict. Nick Turse says otherwise. In his new book, Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam, Turse argues that the intentional killing of civilians was quite common in a war that claimed 2 million civilian lives, with 5.3 million civilians wounded and 11 million refugees.

Joe Biden did not serve in the Military, but he supported the war in Vietnam and Iraq, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, and Syria again. In fact, I don't think there has been a US war that he has ever opposed. This list does not include ALL the known and unknown covert wars and operations conducted by the CIA and the National Security State.
As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he assembled witnesses who grossly misrepresented Saddam Hussein and his government and claimed possession of WMDs. Later, he regretted his support for the Iraq War (sure, he did when he was running for president). Joe Biden has a lot of blood on his hands for someone who has never served in the Armed Forces. He will die without any regrets for his support for the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

I have a question for all christians- why do you hate Islam(Muslims) so violently? Islam states that your Jesus,is a prophet- not the last prophet but a prophet nevertheless.Judaism says your Jesus is a charlatan who is to boil in a vat of faeces in hell.Islam respects Mariam (Mary) the mother of Jesus.Judaism says Mary was a harlot.She was raped by Joseph.She was unclean (having her monthlys/period)when Jesus( an infant of rape ) was conceived.Judaism does not recognize Jesus as the messiah and the son of god - and yet you christians stand with these genocidal psychos! At least Islam shows courtesy if not respect to your beliefs! Yet in spite of this you christians,support the terrorist entity that is presently committing genocide in Palestine -so tell me- why? Why support an entity that disrespects,despises,reviles and abhors the founder of your faith! Your belief system! Are christians the world over not complicit in the slaughter of infants in Palestine!In just under a week your western societies celebrate Christams-the birth of your Jesus,are there any christian infants left in Palestine to celebrate CHRISTMAS? Why is there a Judeo - Christianity, but no Judeo Islaminity!Islamic /Judaism! All three are called "Abrahamic religions"! Just seeking objective truth,so please let me know - now!What would Jesus do- would he desoaie? Salaam.

Now, today, the Jewish anti-Semites in Palestine are Holocousting other Semites in Palestine, while the Christian nations once again watch but do not respond to the cries of the victims of a Jewish Holocaust of Semites.

....In his weekly televised speech, Sayyed al-Houthi announced that one of the missiles was aimed at the Israeli Ministry of Security, timed with the Israeli airstrike on Yemen, causing significant confusion for the occupation forces and disrupting their mission....
.....He added that the Israeli aggression on Yemen would not derail the level of escalation throughout the fifth phase of support for Gaza, detailing that since the beginning of the solidarity campaign, the Yemeni Armed Forces had launched 1,147 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, in addition to targeting 211 enemy-linked ships. They also succeeded in blocking Israeli maritime traffic in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Arabian Sea.....

"The crafters of the United Nations (mainly the US) were farsighted enough to disarm the UN (the global community) at its founding with its permanent member's veto bullshit."
The UN veto was arranged for the remaining major powers as part of their acceptance of formation of, and adhesion to, the UN. The context was that no UN activity could take place that could place them in conflict with each other, so avoiding a new world war.
Equally, as victors, the UN veto guaranteed them absolute national sovereignty with regard to UN resolution and activity.
Equally, the UN veto allowed them to infringe on attempts at UN resolution of matters that were not directly related to their own sovereignty.
Equally, the UN veto allowed a form of leverage and ability to pre-empt discussion and alternative direction, so granting permanent members a hegemonic status to world affairs.
That could be called a compromise, a fudge, an invitation to refinement, or an invitation to corruption. It could be considered calculated, or without better calculation possible.
With the cold war, the formation of NATO and other strategic treaties became the hard edge, for if UN could not be used to resolve differences between major powers.
Compromised territorial disputes were not addressed, could not be addressed. Initiated ambitions, loose ends and hasty definitions could not be resolved.
Since then the UN has become more of a think tank than an effective forum of resolution, and because it holds leverage in the form of "global legitimiser" it has undoubtedly received the attention of globalists, as well as others intent on using it to set or disguise agendas.
The permanent members have no reason to give up their privilege though. It suits them, and they might rather go to war with each other over lesser details.
Ukraine as proxy war, or Palestine as catalyst to certain regional outcomes, for example.
Who is to say the permanent members still fully control their own policy, anyway.
They might act out of national interests, but often their actions do not speak of a respect for nation.
An armed UN without very strict carefully written protocol, would also be a recipe for disaster. Not least because the major powers would have to look to maintain superior capability, but also because a co-opted UN would prove very dangerous, and great influence and behind scenes pressure could be wielded through it, a multiple of that that currently exists .
As non state it would itself risk nothing compared to the countries involved, just look at EU for example of how certain 'directions' take off.
Just a miserable equation all round. It would take a lot of considerate and sincere intent to set up the UN as trutworthy, reliable, effective and secure. I doubt enough of that exists to be workable.

I admire Putin, but the fact is he is the best of the worst. The solution doesn't lie with him, but with the unified international working class. Marx was right.

Putin may be a modern day Trotsky. With Lavrov he is giving power to the working class of Africa and other parts of the global south. And he is fighting with arms not only words. Putin of course can’t do it alone. The working classes in the Arab countries and the US also need to rise to the occasion.

Respectfully disagree, finance.

How much sense did Putin's comments on Syria make?
The translation I saw says
"Russia came to Syria 10 years ago so that a terrorist enclave would not arise there. In general, our goal has been achieved."
There have been a lot of posts on this site that say the terrorists are the ones that now are in control of Syria.
Putin again: "What is happening in Syria is not a defeat for Russia."

Matters not what people say here. Turkey, Israel and the US are now in control of Syria ... whoever their local henchmen maybe is not the point. Russia and Iran and the Assad SAA no longer have a say. Putin can say what he likes. Russia had stopped - given up - defending Syria a long time ago.

But, he does have a say. If he wanted to, he could raise hell. He just doesn't think it's worth it. From his nationalist perspective, he's right.

Matter a fact, the Soviet could and certainly would shut these fucking Zionazis down. Long live Lenin!

At Ahenobarbus | Dec 20 2024 1:17 utc | 90, Ahenobarbus who frequently hits the nail on the head post "The solution doesn't lie with him, but with the unified international working class. Marx was right.
I must disagree, not in sentiment, in terminology, Oh yawn many will think, but this does matter as ordinary normal people can no longer be defined by whether or not they are in the workforce. Why? Because many humans across this huge old rock we all share, will never have employment. It was different back in the day when K Marx et al, saw the ideal future as being one of full employment where every worker received sufficient pay to keep them and theirs comfortably.
There are advantages for sure in a political movement striving to increase the workforce, but there are always going to be a substantial range of reasons why a chunk of ordinary decent people will never work.
Therefore because of that and the reality the masses' power lies more in solidarity in consumption rather than solidarity in the workplace, IMO political movements are going to be better served by defining their base as consumers, rather than workers.
This is not the minor detail it first appears to be as while the true elites, that fraction of 0.1% own a chunk of everything, the complicated algorithms used to construct their 'investment package' means that focussing on a particular corporate brand, product type, or region of origin can leverage a result by way of reversing that gearing.
Take the zionist entity for example, a great many of us, as consumers decline to purchase any product owned by or manufactured in that horrific zionist theocracy now. I've glued banners across product stands emphasising something such as "sodastreams" zionist origin, and I'm sure that over the decades these actions by me plus millions of others will snowball, albeit in a predictable, able to be countered financially way.
In simple terms sodastream will struggle to survive, though major shareholders (the ones we should be taking down) will still flourish.
On the other hand research by ordinary decent humans will turn up less obvious but more vulnerable targets that will punish the arseholes.
If it were down to me, Adelson's online gambling sites would be the focus of sanctions. ;-)
As I've said previously, most gamblers deep down are ordinary decent human beings and if their habit, which has most likely already caused a gambler a deal of shame, instead offered some moral reward such as the gambler knowing he/she could be certain that their losses were not going to be genocide's gain (& yes I've no doubt some wou, I'm certain many punters would leap at the opportunity. Of course those profit off of others' misery types, the Adelson's, are gonna play all sorts of 'badge engineering' ploys to make it appear a site isn't theirs just as soon as sanctioning them becomes a thing; however gambling will always be a major investment as it is an essentially product-free product which is about the sum total of Adelson business acumen. Buying a stake & out heavying the opposition. Yet the chap who did that is karked & his mossad former partner, miriam is unlikely to be able to emulate. He became successful online cos his pockets were deeper than the competitors. He could afford flashy websites and over the top promotion of them.
That also means bigger overheads, so a concerted effort to boycott should be effective.
We the non-elite, non-enabler, non-comprador types are much more than mere workers and we need to be chary of any label which defines us by excluding other non-elite, non-enabler, non-comprador types. I cannot imagine any human exists who consumes nothing, therefore I reckon that term is the one we should use.
ps All the mis-spelling & typos are mine, I'm sorry but I'm flat out like a lizard drinkin today & do not have time to re-check it.

The sickness is with the entire West. By that I mean the entire Western power structure (peasants don't count).

Putin is no Trotsky. Not even close. Syria wouldn't be overrun with headchoppers right now if he were in the ballparks with Trotsky. There would have been no Idlib terrorist breeding grounds, and Syria's oil and wheat fields would have been liberated. Trotsky would never have halted the fight in Syria while the country remained economically non-viable because he wasn't stupid enough to think the country could sit in stasis while its population went cold and hungry. Trotsky would never pull his punches with the zionists or the Empire like Putin does. Trotsky would lead the military to victory, and in no uncertain terms, just like he did against the multinational forces that invaded the nascent Soviet Union.
Remember, Trotsky was a one of the top figures who built the Soviet Union out of wreckage. Putin was on the team that destroyed the Soviet Union and turned it into wreckage. Putin may have salvaged some of that wreckage, but most of the credit for Russia's more recent economic health goes to the US and EU with their boneheaded sanctions that forced Putin and Russia's oligarchs to do the right things against their will.
