Is it me, or is that massive army on Syrian’s northern border about to take enough Syrian territory to enable the forces northeast of Syria to finally get into Gaza and the West Bank to do what needs to be done? The lives of the surviving 3 million Palestinians will otherwise b3 wiped out…

Iran needs to deploy their own nukes pretty much next week if they want to have a future.

No one is coming to the Palestinians’ aid. The Kurds are obviously doing their own thing, the Sunni Jihadis seem to be Sunni in name only and have already expressed their undying love and admiration of Zionism, the Shias militias in Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon have been cut off from their main supply route (and are thus defanged) and Hamas are only surviving long enough to give the Israelis a pretext to keep slaughtering more Arabs.
The best the Arabs can hope for is that Sisi – impoverished by the Houthis’ massive reduction of Suez traffic – will take the Anglo-American bribe to wipe out Egypt’s debt in return for letting the Gazans move in and rot in tent cities in Sinai.
It’s grim but sometimes you have to face the obvious reality: the Zionists win again.
In a few years’ time it’ll be received wisdom that yet again, the Arabs refused to make peace and lost land after attacking “Po’ lil’ Israel”.

Am I the only individual that feels if Iran goes down, it’s over for the resistance around the world?
I do see that the U.S. is overstretched and vulnerable, but I currently do not see the counter measures being deployed.
I understand Russia & China think long term, but it feels like we may be at an inflection point. Unipolar vs Multipolar.
What are the thoughts of the other barflies?

The only logical reason to justify the Israeli genocide apart from happen, in the minds of oil, is to take revenge on the Palestinians for taking Jewish land. Contrary to what was said on the last Palestinian thread, that the Exodus didn’t happen, in the minds of the Usraelis , the US evangelical Christians, and Global oil, it did happen.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the foam- flecked , Pig keepers in Tel Aviv don’t have a plan to drive the remainder of the Palestinians into Babylon.
80 years after the end of the British Raj, my Kashmiri neighbours on both sides both spy on me which is totally haram in Islam, and take regular trips to Mecca to try and absolve themselves for breaking the rules of Islam, not to spy. Their hatred is blistering.
USUKIS also hates Reverts to the truth of Islam , and provides the facilities for the spying. Mad. Madder than mad.
But that is exactly what is happening in Palestine. Pig ignorance. The real reason that a handful of Brits were able to control all India, is that the Britain employed Indian spies to control them, an entire social class of privileged Indians.
Why not take it out on your own betrayers instead of blaming me who has nothing to do with anything about the Vritish Raj. Mad. Madder than Mad, but normal human behaviour when they have been betrayed by their own kind.

Journalist Youssef Fares
“The northern Gaza Strip looks like it was hit by a nuclear bomb. Not a single house was left intact. Until we get closer to the scene, at dawn today, the occupation forces planted four barrels of explosives in a residential area adjacent to Al-Awda Hospital in the Tel al-Zaatar neighborhood, and detonated that huge amount in a single moment. This explosion destroyed dozens of houses that were still standing on their pillars. The tremendous blast and pressure destroyed the capabilities of Al-Awda Hospital from the inside and injured a number of its staff, wounded and sick, in addition to the martyrdom and injury of a large number of citizens. This incident is repeated daily from one area to another. As for Kamal Adwat Hospital, a family of 14 people was burned to death as a result of the use of strange bombs. The extermination continues, and time is running out of blood.”

Craig Murray interviewed from Lebanon:
“the ceasefire agreement is extremely one-sided. It stipulates that all Lebanese groups must cease all operations against Israel, while Israel must cease only offensive operations against Lebanon: the qualification ‘offensive operation’ applies to only one party to the agreement… Israel is exploiting the ceasefire agreement to claim the right to operate as far as the Litani river, despite never having arrived there during the fighting…
The United States is in charge of the ‘mechanism’ – as it is called – for monitoring compliance with the agreement. The document introduces a distinction I have never seen in any agreement – something extraordinary, indeed. It says that the UN will ‘host’ the monitoring committee, although that the US will ‘chair’ it. However, ‘hosting’ has no meaning in diplomatic or practical terms. What that comes down to is this: the UN will be allowed to provide tea and biscuits, while the US will actually run the show, although – and this is indeed extraordinary – they are one of the parties in the conflict, not an arbiter! …
I have no doubt that Israel’s ultimate goal is the annexation of southern Lebanon, which is part of the expansion plan for Greater Israel…
Obviously the situation for the Palestinians is already disastrous, but what is happening in Syria makes it even worse, because it removes the corridor connecting Iran to Lebanon and Hezbollah and eliminates the possibility of opening a northern front against Israel. Now the Israelis will no longer have to fear an attack by Hezbollah when they decide to proceed with their ethnic cleansing and annexation of the West Bank – because, you see, I believe that the ethnic cleansing and annexation of Gaza have effectively already been accomplished…
I do not think that Israel can survive for long. I think Israel has now proven itself to be essentially a fascist, racial supremacist, and genocidal entity. People around the world are forming an ever stronger idea of what is Israel is: a pariah state, an illegitimate entity… a large part of the world will promote an enormous economic boycott.”

I think it might be overstated about Iran’s ability to supply Lebanon. There’s no direct supply route to Gaza or Yemen and yet the group’s there have supplies aplenty. I suspect many of the active groups in Syria wont be adverse to a little bit smuggling. No doubt there will be Ukros more than keen to facilitate weapons transfers to Lebanese groups.

Craig Murray “However, ‘hosting’ has no meaning in diplomatic or practical terms.”
‘Host’ means ‘front’ in this equation, the aim is to add a sense of legitimacy.
Meanwhile “Israel” PM does photo-ops on the summit of Mt. Hermon saying they will stay indefinitely.
Sort of looks like the end of the UN, sometimes…if it ever was.

To be fair, it’s also German slang and means “leader”. “chief”, “boss”.

Posted by: malenkov | Dec 18 2024 22:52 utc | 18

Babo (youth language)
The term Babo (pronunciation: [baːbo]) means boss, leader or chief in German youth language and became known in German-speaking countries in 2012 through the song Chabos wissen wer der Babo ist (meaning: “Boys know who the boss is”) by the rapper Haftbefehl.[1]
The word originally comes from Zazaic[2] and means father. The word is also found in Bosnian[3] and Balkan Romani[4][5][6] with the same pronunciation.
Furthermore, a similar word is found in Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish, Persian and Aramaic, but in the form baba.
Distribution and use in German
The diaspora of Turkish origin picked up the term and spread it in Germany, particularly in the gang scene. It is used there for influential respectable people[7].

When I checked in the early 2000s it was claimed that Canada had a grouping of about 50 Nazis in the lower mainland of Vancouver. What a crock of s*** that turned out to be.
I ask a lot of questions of the people I know. It turns out in Ontario there were many basements with Nazi shrines. All those towns with German names. One used to be called little Berlin and changed its name out of embarrassment. Now they’re embarrassed with the new name they picked. They decided not to change it again because one genocidal fascist is much the same as another.
We grew up with stories like this along with the theory that Adolf Hitler was alive and well in Argentina. We didn’t Place much stock in it.
Now we know. The mask has been torn off.

I think I’m inclined to agree with that. However this is the very beginning of a new face of conflict. One that will include the US forces very soon.
I am sure that Hezbollah knows Iran will turn its attack back to them. If degraded somewhat, they can still do an immense amount of damage to Israel. How much remains to be seen. I don’t believe 100,000 launches would eliminate them.
I believe Iran is the strongest power in the Middle East at this time. I also believe they have nukes which just adds to that. In and all out War there wouldn’t be much left of Israeli infrastructure. I don’t believe either the ports or pipeline would be operating. Neither would the airports.
Having attained greater Israel they are going to have to hold on to it.

@ 6 Giyane
“The only logical reason to justify the Israeli genocide … is to take revenge on the Palestinians for taking Jewish land”
Which is why ethnicity does matter (re. a comment previous thread).
Whether exodus occured or not is irrelevant in that context also, because what right does anyone unrelated have to pick up an ancient account of other peoples and to then go about as if they were actually one of those peoples, so as to exact claims and exercise vengeance ?
The closest reality that I find at play (besides religious, which as portrayed is not in itself a claim), is the Arab,Persian and Turkish conquest of Levant. That has the umbrella of Islam and it is confronted by western ‘Judeo-Christianity’. The fact that the jews changed sides often is not a surprise, nor that they were forcefully converted or distrusted for that. Anyway, I think most sets (ethnic, religious, national etc.) were enemies of any other at some point in history, so nothing too new there either.
Skip forward several hundred years and we have the current reclamation. Shared interests clearly, under the western ‘Judeo-Christian’ umbrella, which obviously now is Islamophobic … better said, just hates Islam, Arabs and Persians etc. because of (or using) the above history. The reconquest of Iberia is another reality where nationalism and religion don’t provide a welcome to Islam, or those ethnic groups.
The animosities are understandable to a degree, or better said, difference from the other helps define own.
Going back to ethnicity, Newbie was talking of ancient Philistines and so forth. I read a fair amount and I don’t assume much, meaning all that I really gather of the ancient ethnic lines is the following:
The Canaanites, Tyreans or Phoenicians and other groups (Israelites and Paleset etc.) are not ethnically distinguishable (at present) – meaning culturally or of hierarchy they have distinct histories but who exactly they were is being guessed at. Probably always will be. I understand enough of archaelogy for example, or of ancestry studies, to know how large the margins of interpretation are, something which is often taken political advantage of.
We are instead left with the various more recent conquests of levant, where the different existing ethnic or cultural groups became subsumed to outside rule. This did leave only a broad ‘levant’ archetype, which existed as a relatively stable reality of differing cultures and religions until the colonial take over.
Original phoenicians, israelites, arabs, persians, aegeans, egyptians etc. etc. were all part of that mixture, each with its small claim in some way, or even just as part of that whole.
The ‘Judeo-Christian’/’West’ is the big claim, but if not a historical claim related to Byzantium then it is a religious claim only (and so lesser or non valid) , not even an ethnic claim via jews (for the reasons you are aware of).
That is where it is at to my view: Wealth, territory and enough historical conflict to provide some kind of justification.
I could for example just take the line that the Arabs, Persians and Turks are actually the known more recent invaders of Levant, and all I would have to do would be to find a ‘good cause’ to push those back. A crusade, ‘it was ours before you’, supporting the creation of “Israel” , political and economic ‘realignment’, via the UN even as solution to prefabricated difficulties.
Whatever works.
However I don’t take that position, because Levant has its own long resident and established societies and communities, regions, clans or nations.
I did write a reply to the Dun/Jane non conversation that touches on that, that I did not post, might post it later here.
In short, the post ww ‘consensus’ , though at times arbitrary or unfair, was the creation of states (including those poorly founded) that reflected a secular understanding of societies or nations. Worldwide.
Secular in the sense of each combining its heritage, including religious, but without obligation in any particular direction, without particular hierarchy expected. As an ideal.
That is not empire, globalism, materialism, centralised banking monopoly and so on. It is not Judeo-Christian rule or pan-Islamism either.
‘Rights and democracy’ are western concepts, but respect for others and non violence are a universal facet engrained in the understanding of most people, normally. Achieving that kind of respect as a world setting was and still is an aim, I think.
Not for all however, which is unfortunately the direction now diverting mankind, or many of its good ambitions.
I do not have to dream a world as I would like it, there is more than enough love and beauty in this world to satisfy anyone who is open to that.
Those that purposefully deny others their natural share, out of greed or for whatever other selfish reason, those that kill others, that murder the innocent, they are the parody of everything good that was meant by those who designed the modern world format, of the many millions who sacrificed their time and their lives to enable a select few to sit at a table and draw something more reasonable than what was; given the parameters of their time.
Spoken as pragmatist, not idealist or apologist. The world has become a smaller (as well as a larger) place for travel, and the destructive ability of mankind has increased dramatically over the space of one short century.
I don’t mind that events are viewed or described from a religious perspective either, and it fits with geo-politics because the moral concepts and loyalties involved are a guide for so many, and so influence the direction of events a great deal (or as some would say, according to destiny). That is an undeniable reality, and according to the view I describe above, if we do not want to be part of that reality then we should just not be interfering with it, and especially not by backing those that have no proper claim, that are genocidal or without the most basic human moral.
More simply put, ethnicity (those that are known of being of somewhere since whenever) is more valid than religious claim (those that make claim due to belief) . Moral claims though, for example that facilitate peace (and which might be religious), are able to beat both (due to voluntary acceptance).
Causing war to bargain for or impose a peace doesn’t count, and the lowest is erasure of a local people so that they are simply no longer able to contest in any form.
That is why religion as priority claim is automatically rejected by some though, for example it is also being used by zionism to try to justify its actions. From outside of religions, it just looks like they all tend to claim priority.

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs
Again: the ICJ Advisory Opinion on the illegality of the Israeli occupation is a watershed for int’l law & the Palestinian people. Five months on, states continue to fail to comprehend its full meaning. This excellent legal opinion from @ralphwilde for @alhaqeurope is urgent reading for all.
It reminds states & INGOs to shift their praxis away from a concern only with the illegality of certain components of Israeli occupation (i.e. home demolitions, violations of IHL, arbitrary detention, settlements), toward finally recognising the existential illegality of Israel’s presence in the oPt in its totality.
The seriousness of the violations and the inextricable link between the occupation and the Israeli state, demands disengagement from the Israeli military and economy as a general matter. This calls for Third States, including the EU, and INGOs, to impose or support sanctions, a total arms embargo, end all trade agreements, and adopt regulations to prevent all those entities and persons within their jurisdiction from engaging with the Israeli economy being that these actions would aid or assist or recognise as lawful the unlawful Israeli presence in the oPt.

USUKIS are clearly on a roll in Syria fighting tooth and nail for Greater Israel . Turkey has water from its mountains, so these troops may be stained there to deter USUKIS using HTS from taking land from Turkey.

Doctorow on Nima recently asserted that Russia’s interest in Syria which led it to enter in 2015 to help the Assad regime to defeat IS, did not extend beyond that goal. To defeat the jihadist HTS movement in Dec. 2024 was no longer it’s purpose. Earlier, Russia had considered IS to be a threat to its own territorial integrity. It didn’t care about Syria beyond Syria’s being a theater to fight the jihadists; entering another country for this reason being perfectly legitimate that Russia had no responsibility toward Syria. So basically just used Syria as the theater of the war, at a distance from its own territory.
Ironically, in Laith Marouf’s interview on Activist News Network earlier on Dec. 15th, which I referenced in an earlier thread on MOA, in which Marouf said he believed Russia had played a role in allowing the destruction of Syria — that Russia could have defeated HTS just as it did IS in 2015 (which they failed to complete then) — Marouf ends up supporting Doctorow. Here’s why —

Starvation numbers are not recorded by the health officials in Gaza for a number of reasons, so it’s hard to tell how many dead there actually are at this point. But they do have a way to track the number of children who have been admitted to the hospitals due to malnutrition. These are only the children who have access to hospitals – and one must bear in mind that most Palestinians no longer have an operating hospital near them.
The number of children admitted to hospitals for malnutrition (which means you are too sick from lack to nutrients to survive on your own; i.e., starvation) in the last 4 months alone is nearly 19,000.
—————
Over the past four months, nearly 19,000 children in Gaza were hospitalized for acute malnutrition due to Israel’s starvation campaign, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has reported. This is almost double the number of acute malnutrition cases among children in Gaza in the first six months of 2024, the agency reports; at that time, the World Food Programme’s (WFP) head had said that northern Gaza was under a “full-blown famine” because of Israel’s brutal humanitarian aid blockade.
UNRWA reported on Sunday that one of their only remaining functional health centers has only six boxes of baby formula left to distribute, despite thousands of babies in need — and that was the first shipment of baby food the agency reviewed in three months, the group said.[…]
Israel’s aid blockade is causing health effects that will compound for decades to come. The UN Population Fund for Palestine recently reported that there are 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza who lack essentials like food, water and hygiene supplies. According to the group, 8,000 of these women are among the 345,000 people in Gaza facing “famine-like conditions.”
“There are increased reports of preterm and low-birth weight babies and malnutrition is making it harder for new mothers to breastfeed,” the group said in its most recent situation report.

Listening to Prof. John Lee lecture on The Persian Empire.
He opens with a photo of the Tomb of Cyrus, at Pasargadae.
I have been there.
Next, Lee states that Cyrus created the greatest empire in the world, ruled by ethical principles based on Zoroaster.
Some years ago, the Cyrus Cylinder was exhibited at a Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.
It was my privilege to see the Cyrus Cylinder, with its Declaration of Universal Human Rights, pressed in the clay.
The Persian Empire lasted for longer than the USA has been a ‘constitutional republic.’
Zoroastrian Persia was, of course, conquered by Islam over 1300 years ago, but it is my firmly held belief that the soul of Iran/Persia is Persian-Zoroastrian– ethical.
Humata, Hukhta, Huvarsht
Good thoughts
Good words
Good deeds
The civilizational artifacts of Persia — its architecture, poetry, literature, its fundamental respect for humanity, even its ways of governing — are so far superior to anything zionist Israel can even imagine in its predatory little mind that I despair when I hear Trump boast that he would “bomb Iran to the stone age.”
For Trump, stone age is a present condition. But Iranians live every day amidst a legacy that set a standard for civilization.

Christmas Time in Satellite City
Time to celebrate the birth
of He who died for our salvation
with holidays and mirth
plus genocide and starvation
If there was a Jesus
he’d be turning in his grave
to see the blackened hearts of those
whose souls he died to save
No pity for the mothers
whose aching arms embrace
the limp and lifeless bodies
of children wantonly erased
When it’s time to meet your Maker
what excuse could you provide
for allowing this to happen
with your silence you abide

Putin prioritises the defeat of the Ukrainian Revisionist Zionist Nazis in Israel over the Ukrainian Soros Black Rock Nazis in Ukraine.
He sees both conflicts as USUKIS generated , hegemonic wastes of space and time. His objectives in both cases are the same, to deter Nazi-driven world domination at the expense of weaker nations.
And he’s right that USUKIS ambitions in West Asia are completely reprehensible, and that Israel is the one that has done the genociding with bombs supplied by the US, and technology supplied by UKEU and others.

Yes, I think that is right. They are going to try to stand up a new “democratic” Syrian government, that is with elections. I think Turkiye is OK with it, because they think Sunni party will win. Maybe some others.
In the meantime I am waiting to see who is going to pay for it and how, and how people are going to be fed in the meantime, etc.
I don’t think they were so much pissed off with Assad as they could see he was done, no money, no army, done.
I have to admire Putin’s ambition./sarc
It looks to have a great chance to descend into chaos. The new government does seem to understand that more fighting is not going to work well out for them, it’s been talking about amnesties for SAA.

What does Russia and ISIS have in common???? Neither side kills Jews.
Bwa! ha! ha! ha!
Russians in fact form the backbone of the IDF. Those over religious types in Israel don’t fight, the remainder are too physically unco-ordinated to fight properly, so its the Russians in Israel who constitute the backbone of the IDF. These Russians are therefore responsible for the bulk of the atrocities of the IDF, like shooting pregnant women in the stomach and raping male Palestinian doctors to death, etc. These Russians in Israel are for the most part not even Jewish, they are Slavs who fled the USSR to Israel by pretending to be Jewish.
Putin never says anything negative about the Russians in Israel. But words don’t matter, its actions which count. The Jewish leadership in Ukraine remain untouched while the Ukie Slavs get bombed to smithereens.
As a pro-Russian person since forever I am unable to come up with any explanation as to why Putin refuses to harm a single hair on a Jewish head. Perhaps the readership out there can enlighten me as to this bizarre behavior of Putin.

For Putin these are difficult times: he faces negotiations with Trump where he doesn’t really know what the other side is up to. He will not complicate matters by criticizing anybody on purely moral grounds, unless it touches Russian interests. There is something Russia has in common with Israel: both countries intend to annex some territory in the near future – Donbass and parts of Syria – so they will not stand in each other’s way by debating the legality of this issue. Putin is an opportunist like all successful politicians – what sets him apart from Europe’s dilettants is that he knows what the interests of his country are.
Israel’s ambitions to expand seem to have been granted by a secret deal between Israel, the USA, Turkey, HTS, the Syrian Arab Army and, possibly, the Kurds – that plan to oust Bashar al Assad (intending to later distribute the Syrian cake) was executed so smoothly that you can’t help but acknowledge the power and professionality behind its design (most likely by Mossad). Putin is impressed, and to some degree, intimidated. Yet, what condemnation of the Gaza genocide he does not dare to utter, is expressed strongly by the RT international channel.

On the topic of genocide the situation of having to make excuses is a damnation on its own.
They —the politicians and the powerful, including Putin but also those even more silent— don’t even dare to make the lie that the genocide is none of their business.
The world could change if they dared to be honest.
Since they are not being honest about the genocide the rest of us have no choice but to try to make this apparent to others, maybe that can help unravel the deceits, maybe it can force them to try to explain themselves and their lack of meaningful effective action.
And if it doesn’t then at least it provides the opportunity for others to take notice or increase their awareness.

The US strike took place on Thursday in Deir Ezzor province in eastern Syria, killing IS leader ‘Abu Yusif’ and another operative, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on social media, without providing further details on the two jihadists.
‘This airstrike is part of CENTCOM’s ongoing commitment, along with partners in the region, to disrupt and degrade efforts by terrorists to plan, organize, and conduct attacks,’ CENTCOM said.
The strike ‘was conducted in an area formerly controlled by the Syrian regime and Russians,’ it added.
Washington has stepped up military action against the jihadist group since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government, hitting areas that were shielded by Syrian and Russian air defences before a lightning offensive by rebels who now control the country.
Not sure how much of this is for real….seems to infer Russia and Syria at fault whereas USA years ago declared ISis defeated…and all this time Centcom coalition has been flying military fighter jets.Maybe some Al Tanf USA trained gone rogue?

Most of what is said by humans is bullshit. The truth is that God created this world as a hypothetical halfway house in which we are both mortal and infinite. To test us. Do we thank God for our life and obey Him and his easy commandments set out by Moses AS and the last, great prophet Muhammad SAW ?
Or do we join the rebels, the Nazis and Satanists?
Then we get our reward in eternity in our next life. Unfortunately no second chance. No Blag . Of course, if you prefer Blag, you can listen to MI5, MI6, CIA, HTS, BBC, MB, feel free to select the thousand trails to eternal punishment for following politics and Blag.

“As the US announced its occupation forces in NE Syria were twice as large as thought, and are going nowhere, US Middle East rep Barbara Leaf removes the $10 million bounty on Mohammad Golani’s head – undoubtedly after he promised not to resist the Israeli or US occupation.
Golani’s Islamist junta has declared plans to liberalize the economy, selling all remaining state assets to foreign vultures.
We are witnessing the recolonization of Syria behind hollow revolutionary slogans.”

I believe you taking a ‘stress pill’ is in order; or , failing that, perhaps a short respite in a sanitarium practicing breathing exercises and yoga so you can regain your intellectual composure.
And, if you are still in mental distress (see your post above) and want to carry on in this ‘angry, profane fashion’ you can ask for my guidance on how to swear properly and effectively rather than the inarticulate drivel you are currently producing.
Let me know.

It takes one to know one. Your favourite stress pill is sailing the ocean deep.
Mine is my salat. If anybody doesn’t need a stress pill when two or more million people are being shredded alive by the leaders of the free world,( WTF ) they must be mentally retarded or maybe dead .

Britain rules by dividing along known fault lines, putting pressure on society until it cracks. So my friend, are we not helping them crack us, by arguing amongst ourselves? Don’t let’s us help them do it.
Blessed be the peacemakers for they will be called children of God. Matthew 5.9.

canuck, my definition of sanity might be
different from yours. You like riding the ocean currents. I like riding the the cosmic currents.
The US military policy is to use force to make peace. Trumpian pieces.

USUKIS
World
Terrorism
Foundation
WTF
There simply is no other terror organisation than USUKIS.
An organisation for the promotion of Blag, lies and deceit to achieve its own world domination.
Who are its enemies?
us

Ash-shaytaanu ‘adu’ukum
Fa chudhuhu ‘adu’a
Satan is your enemy
So take him as an enemy
Qur’an
Millions of Muslims take the Opponents of Islam as friend, including HTS.
USUKIS could do no harm to the Muslim world without these people who serve the Terrorist institution of FUKUSIS, in Political Islam of many shades.
However, it is totally false logic to say that in non-Muslim countries, to break the Health & Safety and International Peace Resolutions and Laws of the non-Muslims is to fight against the enemies of Islam.
Political Islam needs its head examined.
There will be a machine on the Day of Judgement which will detect stupid and dangerous ideas in the same way an xray machine scans suitcases from externally in the airport. For obvious reasons.
For HTS to support Nato and Zionazis in Ukraine and West Asia, means that is not a Muslim organisation. Take off your shoes and your jacket please sir.

Our money printing enemies are invisible in the battleground. So kindly don’t tell anybody where to fight the enemy.
The enemy is totally insignificant in power and resources in the analytical and moral battle ground. Kindly Ferk Oeuf.

I did warn you that in the Christmas period I am very likely to be in a bad mood.

If , as HTS and political Islam say, All is fair in love and war, please send me your wife and girlfriends’ telephone numbers and I will process them one by one in accordance with Privacy Laws in due course.
