You can see it everywhere it is a very co – ordinated attack. Just look at the right populists movement around the world. Somebody is writing their scripts and funding it.
Every right wing populist leader are singing from the exact same song sheets. It doesn’t matter what country you are in. You can virtually tick off the buzzwords that get the sheep very excited.
They all meet up CPAC the The Conservative Political Action Conference in the US. Are given their orders and implement their strategy.
This right wing populist leader movement and their think tanks and social media presence are directed from the US.
It is just the continuation of the decade long strategy of the liberal left destroy the left making it something you can’t vote for and keep moving everybody rightwards.
How they achieved to keep moving the Overton window to the right. The sheep are taken in by it, as it has been given a new name populism. With disco lights that pretends to be something new and anti establishment. Pretends to represent the workers.
They are as racist as they have ever been and closer to facism than people freely admit. Which is what always happens if you keep moving the Overton window forever rightwards.

Thanks for proving my point once again in public that you are indeed a brainwashed fool.
“Every Sovereign is the monopoly of it own currency, Dumbo.”
It is unbelievable you could claim such a thing. How stupid are you on a scale of 1-10?
You better tell every country in the Eurozone who use a foreign currency ( the euro) how sovereign they are and how they are the MONOPOLY of their own currency after giving their own monopoly currencies up.
Then you can move into Africa and tell all the African countries who use the French CAC. How sovereign they are and how they are the MONOPOLY of their own currency.
Then phone all of the countries who have fixed exchange rates with other countries. I’m sure they’ll be happy to listen to your packaged bullshit. Phone the countries who have a dirty peg with other countries just to inform them how dumb you are.
You see what you continually fail to grasp in public as you seethe through your gold standard , fixed exchange rate lens. Is every country has a different level of sovereignty dumbass.
These different levels of sovereignty determine IF they are indeed monopoly of their own currencies.
Or are you really that dumb on a scale of 1-10 that you didn’t even notice that. Especially when you understand Russian history and what a HUGE difference it made to their sovereignty When they moved from fixed exchange rates to a freely floating exchange rate.
Now jog on and howl at the moon where you belong. You stupid, stupid ,stupid, goldbug. Go and sell your packaged bullshit somewhere else. I ain’t and never will by your packaged insanity.

Al Manar has a posting up about a US Special Envoy Morgan Ortagus who was sent to Lebanon to lecture the new President Joseph Aoun

Special Envoy to the Middle East Morgan Ortagus who said that Washington has set a “red line” over participation of Hezbollah in the new government.

This “dictation” was not taken well and later in the day

Later on Friday, the Lebanese Presidency Press Office issued a statement in which it said: “The presidency is not concerned with some of remarks made by US deputy Middle East envoy Morgan Ortagus in Baabda.”

It is telling that the Trump team sent a TV personality woman [looks like jewish husband] to Lebanon to lecture Aoun……The Hollywood form of statecraft being perfected by the Trump team….are you impressed?…/s

In reality, content here is moderate and b is sensible. The use of the phrase “Hostility towards israel” is ominous all the same, for lack of definition. “Hostility” is a catch all, could go from saying “F- israel” through to more explicit incitement. Just obscure enough for some busy people to try to make an examples of some, even if only to set the bar by eventually dismissing the cases.

Intimidation through Zio lawfare is such profound irony.
[as recounted in Israeli court records:]
During WWII, Zionists sought silence when they intimidated other Jews
into keeping their mouths shut about the trains to Auschwitz.
Zionists, trusted leaders in the Jewish community, knowingly tricked hundreds of thousands of Jews
onto the trains to Auschwitz. Intimidation of those that sought to warn others about the plot,
was one of the Zionists tools.
Treachery, betrayal and intimidation then,
treachery, betrayal and intimidation now.

======================
It was recently reported on Fox News that Trump is starting an imbroglio with South Africa about its Expropriation Act. I do not support expropriating the farms of white South Africans, but it is of course absolutely absurd for Trump to get his panties in a twist over PROPERTY RIGHTS in South Africa.
It would also be absurd for South Africa to FAIL to use this PERFECT opportunity to call out Trump on the international stage and tell him to his face that until he recognizes PROPERTY RIGHTS in Palestine he has LESS THAN ZERO to say about PROPERTY RIGHTS anywhere else on earth, including South Africa. Intervening in South African domestic policies in the cause of PROPERTY RIGHTS make him a worldwide laughingstock and poster boy for massive hypocrisy.
Why doesn’t someone stand up in the UN and ask Mr. Trump what doesn’t he understand about PROPERTY RIGHTS?
Is he planning to transfer and resettle residents of North Carolina, expropriate their property, and then redevelop it for someone else?
To me this looks like a no-brainer.
It should be hammered on repeatedly by advocates for Pal rights that Palestinians are property owners.
That is the only thing Trump (and many others) understand.

Be ready to be further disappointed! It is nice to have something in common; I’m (perpetually) disappointed in me/myself as well! 🙂
As can be clearly seen in my previous comment I was commenting on the taxi driver and the claims about the “muslim world” but the argument can (and should) be made in general so I don’t mind.
======================================
It is a self-defeating argument to claim that those __thousands__ of people that protested thought (or cared) that they couldn’t: they protested anyway and the vast majority didn’t suffer anything at all.
It is clearly false to argue that it stopped them from protesting!
======================================
So the point I was making stands even stronger based on your quotes. So then what? What’s left?
Beware of narratives discouraging people from acting, don’t buy into it.
· ·
The opens a larger topic that is even more general and not only related to Palestine but to everything and how people’s good intentions are used against themselves.
Narratives such as the one that is now essentially debunked are very often not in any way “accidental” narratives but instead crafted to discourage, to corral, to manipulate, and to misdirect both focus and effort. This approach is not new and has been around and used repeatedly for many decades on any number of topics.
Notice who it is that are peddling those narratives while pretending to be “supportive”.
If anyone thinks such “things” as Reuters, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Usian talking heads are trustworthy or supportive then it is them who hasn’t kept up, not me.
It is precisely the same as with USAID being named something which most people would read and misunderstand as “US aid” when it is nothing of the kind, it is plain deception where a little bit (over time as little as possible) of truth is used to hide everything else and all the ulterior motives.
The deceit works over and over again 🙁
Propaganda outlets and NGOs use and abuse sources that may or may not be sincere, truthful, and relevant, but to find that out and to what degree it is true you have to walk into and trigger the trap by using your time and effort that probably should be used on something else.
That trap (still!) works 🙁
So I encourage everybody to be more aware of and remember these things.

Trump’s outrageous claims about seizing Gaza have brought the genocide back into focus globally.
I have no idea what happens, or when, but the walls are starting to close in on Israel.
IIRC, the EU may have just officially recognized the genocide as a genocide. Whether they do anything about it, remains to be seen. I don’t trust white politicians to display moral courage. Until they do, it’s all talk.

I should mention a time when it backfired BIG TIME for the Zios.
A curmudgeon in 1950s “Israel” was handing out pamphlets
trying to make people aware of the Zio betrayal during WWII.
If you are old enough to remember the creation of copies in the 1950s
these pamphlets were classic material. Oily to the touch, and
unappealing font. You would not want to touch one of these
unappealing pamphlets. The almost-broke curmudgeon paid for them himself
and handed them out himself in cafes and street corners.
This was the alternative for the internet back then.
But the pamphlets caught the attention of the government, as
they criticized an official in the government – R Kastner.
Kastner would have preferred to keep his head down, but the
government went ahead on his behalf and sued the poor curmudgeon.
The lawsuit opened up a can of worms that some would have wished had
been buried. The government lost their case*, but worse than that
now the humongous betrayal by the Zios during WWII was part of the
court record and discussed and debated widely in 1950s “Israel”.
If the “Israeli” government hadn’t sued the curmudgeon it is very
likely that you wouldn’t be reading about their treachery now.
—
* the government, after loosing in the first case, kicked it up
to the Supreme Court of Israel for a whitewashing. The Supreme
Court ruled that the treachery was alright to do!: “the Jews
of Hungary weren’t worth saving.” ! [A judge actually uttered
these words!]

The West Bank serves as an exemplary case of how international journalists were never interested in covering what’s happening to Palestinians.
Journalists claimed that Israel barred them from entry to Gaza and that’s why they couldn’t cover.
They can, however, enter the West Bank and yet somehow I’m not seeing any international journalists on the ground.
Malpractice doesn’t even cut it. This is active concealment of crimes against humanity in real time.
This is aiding and abetting a genocidal regime, while spreading disinformation about the reality of Palestinians.

The Nahals belong to the 162nd. The Nahals were left alone to suffer in the infamous N. corridor. Many believed the Nahals were left alone because of prior shabby performance.
The 143rd is made up of punishment units; known for mainly its utter failure in the Al Aqsa Raid. From Wiki:
…… In October 2023, the division was part of the Battle of Re’im where Hamas temporarily took control of the Re’im Army Base and had taken several Israeli soldiers captive, resulting in the death of Lt. Col. Sahar Makhlouf….

Reading through, each viewpoint regarding Trump/US policy/play makes sense. JB, franconia, and so on, because each is a facet to the picture that somehow exists. Yet there are complete contradictions between the different views. This is partly because we are guessing at intent. It is confounding and I do not know exactly what is meant.
Going by the steady evolution of occupation direction one set of argument makes sense, going by the perception of occupation difficulty another view does, looking at Trump as having lost the plot gives yet another, and so on. As LD says, time would favour the Palestinians.
I don’t know, I suppose we must wait and see.
For now I am just thankful that much of the onslaught has been largely paused. I don’t even pretend that necessarily means less eventual suffering, but it is a reality and not a projection, and so to be thankful.
There is still much that needs attention drawn to in Gaza, Palestine and the region, and further afield. It is now harder to place a center of event, or not to end up distracted by other more visible conflict.
I think to brush over what has occured in Gaza is clearly wanted by some. All the “solutions offered” have that effect also, of saying the Palestinians are taken into consideration, that any difficulties are being sorted out.
That is temporary, what happens afterwards in practice is something different I think.

As I have mentioned , I reverted to Islam more than 25 years ago, and I have been living in the Muslim community for 25 years.
But a couple of days ago I learnt something new when a ‘Sufi” Mosque stuck up its name on the side of the building. MASJID ABDALIYAH. Right now, while HTS are killing Alawites, Ali AS reverers in Syria.
This tells me that the Berelwis, the Sufis, in this community are not Sufis at all . They are reverers of Ali AS, Slaves of ‘Ali AS. Is Britain greenlighting this coming out of Alawism in Britain to whip up hatred of HTS in Syria?
As you may know , not all Christians regard Christ AS as God, and not all Jews are Talmudists. In fact the worst Talmudists in Christ’s time AS were cursed by him.
This is why I was strongly opposed to the terrorist massacres in Sri Lanka, because some Christians believe in God in exactly the same way as Islam does.
And many Muslims , who hate those One God Christians , are worshippers of Righteous Caliph ‘Ali AS instead of Allah swt.
HTS , controlled by USUKIS, are killing Alawites and suddenly the majority base of the South Asian British community come out as Alawites, Slaves of Ali AS.
Coincidence? Or more political intrigue by the shapeshifters of British Imperialism, who destroyed the core of correct worship in India by massacring the righteous scholars in Delhi?
Anyway, my point is , that Scottish-Jewish Trump appears to be telling Khazar Fake-Jew , European-Nazi, Netanyahu that his Trumpian, Scottish-Jewish , US Jewishness is purer that Netanyahu’s Khazar Fake-Jew, European-Nazi Jewishness.
Whereas in fact Netanyahu’s Jewish credentials through his mother are much better than Trump’s. But Trump’s Imperial credentials through Scottish ancestry , trump Netanyahu’s maternal Jewish ancestry in Western society.
Is there any traction in this sectarian, dick-waving, one-upmanship shit-show? I am really rather tired of being hated by Ali- worshipping “”” Muslims “”” for being a hated, Imperial-British Muslim, when I am in reality part French, part Polish Jewish and part Welsh and none of these ancestors ever oppressed South Asians at all. Nothing to do with me anyway. Just grist for their racist mill.

Blackwater was brutal in Iraq against civilians. Acting with impunity because there was no legal consensus about US mercenaries’ accountability.

The idiotic idea that Palestinians are Egyptians is so stupid it beggars belief.
The Egyptians will never take in the Palestinians because the Egyptians had to lose a lot of men to keep the Zionists out of Sinai, which the Israelis want to eventually capture to create Greater Israel.
If they allow Trump’s degenerate Riviera to border Sinai, it is inevitable that the Zionists will invade to capture Sinai, then up to the Suez Canal. Then America will control both the Suez and the Panama Canals.

“The Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia; they have a lot of land over there,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Israel’s Channel 14.

Haaretz is reporting that Israel is now demanding the full “expulsion” of Hamas from Gaza, and in the absence of such the IDF will remain entrenched on the Egypt-Gaza border. Israel also claims the United States fully supports its “right” to resume combat operations if negotiations on the next ceasefire phase collapse, which would be inevitable as representatives of Hamas comprise the Gazan negotiating team.

Couple information requests
1) anyone aware of a data source that has tracked Palestinian deaths from Isr aeli military action by year?
2) This was posted by
Dr. George W Oprisko
a few years back that Gaza’s coast gives it territorial right to 60% of yhe 1.4 trillion ccf natural field off the coast.
Is he out there or does anyone have a reference for this. I googled the name at the top and didn’t get a hit.
From Robert Monotti on Twitter….
Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline:
“It should be noted that 60 percent of the gas reserves along the Gaza-Israel coastline belong to Palestine.
The BG Group drilled two wells in 2000: Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2. Reserves are estimated by British Gas to be of the order of 1.4 trillion cubic feet, valued at approximately 4 billion dollars. These are the figures made public by British Gas. The size of Palestine’s gas reserves could be much larger.
Who Owns the Gas Fields?
The issue of sovereignty over Gaza’s gas fields is crucial. From a legal standpoint, the gas reserves belong to Palestine.
The death of Yasser Arafat, the election of the Hamas government and the ruin of the Palestinian Authority have enabled Israel to establish de facto control over Gaza’s offshore gas reserves.
British Gas (BG Group) has been dealing with the Tel Aviv government. In turn, the Hamas government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields.
In 2006, British Gas “was close to signing a deal to pump the gas to Egypt.” (Times, May, 23, 2007). According to reports, British Prime Minister Tony Blair intervened on behalf of Israel with a view to shunting the agreement with Egypt.
Gaza and Energy Geopolitics
The military occupation of Gaza is intent upon transferring the sovereignty of the gas fields to Israel in violation of international law.”
As usual…. oil/gas…. explains everything…

226 archaeological sites damaged in Gaza during Israel aggression: Ministry report
RAMALLAH, February 5, 2024 (WAFA) – The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities Wednesday announced that 226 archaeological sites in the Gaza Strip have been damaged as a result of direct Israeli targeting.
The Ministry made this announcement in cooperation with the Center for Cultural Heritage Preservation as part of a report dubbed “Inventory of the Damages and Risks to Cultural Heritage Sites in Gaza”, which assessed the damages inflicted on them as a result of the recent Israeli aggression.
Co-prepared by 13 Palestinian experts in cooperation with an Oxford University team over a year period, the report examines 316 cultural heritage sites in Gaza, encompassing archaeological sites, heritage buildings, museums, religious buildings, historical cemeteries, cultural scenes, natural sites, and landmarks, as stated by Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Hani Al-Hayek.
Speaking at the Ministry’s headquarters in Ramallah, the Minister pointed out that the report was based on a thorough field survey of all sites, analysis of satellite images, data collection, and the creation of individual site models. This information was then analyzed to assess the extent of the damage.
The report finds that out of the 316 sites, 138 sites sustained major damage, 61 others were moderately damaged, 27 others suffered slight damage, and 90 others remained undamaged.
It estimates the budget required for the recovery of the cultural heritage sector at 261.15 million euros, to be implemented in three phases over eight years.
Phase 1 involves an urgent intervention to salvage and support endangered sites, and requires 31.2 million euros. Phase 2 involves the interventions necessary to restore and rehabilitate partially endangered sites, and requires 96.72 million euros. Phase 3 is concerned with the reconstruction of threatened sites, requiring 133.23 million euros.
Minister Al-Hayek said that the historical archaeological sites are an important part of the history and identity of the Palestinian people on Palestinian land, adding that the occupation, by targeting these sites, is deliberately erasing and destroying this important part and the basic pillar of the Palestinian national identity.

Re: Maimed IDF
Those certainly appear to be battlefield related amputations. Note those gals are very much conscripts or weekend warriors who actively engaged in a (plausible) genocide. Tragic.
The fault lies with the Likudniks who refuse to accept a just and lasting peace.

I looked at the videos a few times and it was not clear to me who or where the maimed girls were. The juxtaposition was supposed to implant a connection between the two pairs of girls in viewers’ minds, but is there actually any but a montage-created connection?
I agree that it is the genociders who surrender their humanity, not their victims.
But that is not me. You?

I never looked at the video either.
There was no need to.
It was the idea of israelis (IDF members), colonizers, suffering the consequences of their actions either directly or indirectly that gives me pleasure.
Why does it give me pleasure?
Because it provides a hope, at minimum, that there’s some kind of justice in this existence after all evidence of human justice has been removed from our world at least the grand karmic wheel is still turning.
And that is edifying.
As for “humanity”, there is none left to surrender.
“Humanity” was extinguished in the ruins of Gaza in 2024.
What’s left?
I don’t know. Perhaps “Homo Nullus” stirs in the ruins, waiting to be birthed from the grave of “Homo Sapiens”. Not “humanity” as we know it but something else.

Your statement about blacks is totally unacceptable and racist. Every village on the planet that has been wracked by war, colonialism, Capitalist or Communist (same thing) Feudalism has lost its community memory of civilised and orderly behaviour.
Unbelievable that your comment pops up on MoA. Why do you think South Africa opposes genocide? Because they know that institutionalised rape and violence are the fruit of being being economically raped and colonised.
Africa was targeted for destruction for the same reason that Palestine has been targeted by the Khazars, Biden, Blinken, Nutjob and Orangatan. Because it was a Muslim stronghold against Roman polytheism which happened to be sitting on resources that Rome wanted to steal.
6 million Muslims were transported to the Caribbean to slavery , laying the foundation for your racist comment.
You should repent and apologise.

That is the most asinine post I have ever read on MOA. You could do well with some research on IQ tests.

🚨Gaza’s Media Office: Despite the ceasefire, Israel continues to block critical humanitarian aid, worsening Gaza’s already catastrophic conditions. Key violations include:
➤ Aid Restrictions: Only 8,500 aid trucks have entered instead of the agreed 12,000. Northern Gaza received less than half of its required aid.
➤ Shelter Crisis: Only 10% of needed tents have arrived; not a single mobile housing unit has been allowed in.
➤ Fuel Shortages: Just 15 fuel trucks enter daily instead of the agreed 50, crippling hospitals and public services.
➤ Medical Neglect: 100 critically ill children have died due to evacuation delays, while 40% of kidney failure patients have died from lack of treatment.
➤ Blocked Reconstruction: Heavy machinery for clearing 55 million tons of rubble is barred, leaving bodies trapped beneath.
