Donald Trump stated that his Gaza plan “has been very well received”.
Hamas today demonstrated its response, and here is
A statement issued by Hezbollah:
Hezbollah condemns the deviant call launched by US President Donald Trump to displace our people in the Gaza Strip outside Palestine, and stresses that it is nothing but a clear expression and translation of the racist, exclusionary, fascist ideology that threatens all of humanity at the core of its values, most notably the right of peoples to their homelands and lands. This self-evident right, which has been recognized by all charters and norms, is a right that cannot be taken away, encroached upon, or relinquished by force or coercion in any way.
This arrogance coupled with megalomania has made Trump and his administration think that the dark path of establishing his state, based on the systematic extermination of the indigenous people of the continent and replacing them with settlers, can be re-exported in this era by uprooting the Palestinian people of the land and granting it to the Zionists, after the American war machine failed to do so. Zionism is supported by the Western system, which failed to break the will and determination of the Palestinian people in an epic that is unparalleled in the modern era, where the resistance in Gaza and its people made legendary sacrifices and proved through them that they are resistant to all uprooting and displacement projects.
Hezbollah stresses that what the enemy did not take in war, it will not take in peace, and under malicious, foolish slogans, it wants to fool the peoples of the world by claiming its keenness for the people of Gaza to enjoy a better life outside of it. Hezbollah believes that this dangerous project, which is contrary to logic and nature, is as much condemned and rejected as it indicates the nature and extent of the conspiracy against the Palestinian people at this stage. Hezbollah
believes with absolute faith that whoever thwarted the war of extermination will thwart the racist war of uprooting, and Trump and those with him will realize that this holy land cannot be subject to the dictates of American madness, and that all the loyalists in our Arab and Islamic world and in the entire world will stand as one to raise their voices and thwart the despicable conspiracy, and will not allow under any circumstances for the fate of the Palestinian people to become at the mercy of the Zionist-American obsession in seizing the country, enslaving the peoples and determining their fate…
Hezbollah calls on the Arab and Islamic countries to take practical positions to confront this occupation project, otherwise what awaits their countries if this step succeeds is a black fate that will leave nothing behind, neither independence, nor wealth, nor peoples. He warns against any complacency in the confrontation, which will pave the way for an organized expulsion of all the people of the West Bank and later all the Palestinian people in the occupied (48) territories, and the realization of the biblical dream and the Zionist-American dreams of seizing all of Palestine and making it entirely Jewish.
Hezbollah confirms that this new attack on Palestine and its people will be doomed to complete failure, and the Palestinian people, along with all the honorable people, will prove that they will remain in their land, and that Trump and all his tyranny and conspiracy will not bring down the Palestinian will, but rather his project will fall, and Gaza will remain for its people and Palestine for its people, and this people will remain the title of Palestine, pride and strength, and preservation of the land, and a role model for all the peoples of the world in the struggle for the right and the sanctities.

An important warning from Dr. Abdullah Ma’ruf about Israel’s proposed law to annex the West Bank and its implications for Palestinian sovereignty and international law.
Excerpts:
The Israeli Knesset recently passed, in its preliminary reading, a bill that allows Israelis to own land in the West Bank without the need for army approval…this bill, which still requires three more stages of approval, is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation being passed by the Israeli government through its settler movement arm, led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and his Religious Zionism Party.
The urgent task is to preemptively address the anticipated annexation through real, deterrent political actions, going beyond mere condemnation and refusal. There needs to be actual solidarity with the peoples of the region and a change in the way the Palestinian issue is approached by the entire Arab establishment. It is no longer a secret that the Israeli project not only seeks to swallow up Palestinian land but now also sees itself entitled to expand at everyone else’s expense.
The danger of this law lies in the fact that Israel is no longer concerned with international law or its image before the world. This represents a shift in Israel’s strategy in dealing with international institutions. It’s part of a broader approach taken by the Israeli government during the Gaza war, such as its decision to stop recognizing the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency).
Israel now positions itself as a “muscle” state, not one bound by the rule of law, and no longer cares about its image globally. This means that it can do whatever it wants, ignoring international law, as it seems safe from accountability under the new Trump administration, allied with the religious Zionist movement.
In truth, the first to suffer from this process will be Jordan, which will find itself facing an unprecedented storm that could destabilize it entirely.
Palestinians, the Arab countries, particularly those surrounding Palestine, and official Arab and Islamic regimes, especially Jordan, must be alert to the dangers of this frantic movement. The Israeli far-right is not just another party in the Knesset; it is now the actual Israeli state. Its aspirations and proposals are no longer limited to itself, as it now enjoys the support of a real ally who shares its ideological stance: the new US administration.
It is impossible to ignore the nature of this new administration or treat the Israeli-American right-wing ambitions as mere dreams that can be blocked by international law. The Trump administration does not respect international law.

Syria’s New HTS Government Clashes With Hezbollah On Lebanese Border In First
Saturday, Feb 08, 2025 – 07:50 AM
For the first time since Assad’s ouster in early December, Syrian Army under the new Islamist government of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have entered areas of Hermel, Lebanon, resulting in fierce clashes with Hezbollah fighters.
The border breach came amid internecine fighting this week along the border, which Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported as involving “artillery shelling and heavy machine gun fire on the town of Jarmash on the city of Hermel’s northern border with Syria.”

They couldn’t be more transparent. Once you know how The Empire thinks you can predict its every move …

The West worships Jews and blacks and LGBT. But only the worship of Jews is primary, hence now Trump has gone and dropped DEI and so on while still keeping on worshiping the Jews. Blacks are useless, if you say you are black then you are useless as well. Soon all the welfare is going to stop, in Europe and USA, then we will see how things pan out. The age of some holy cows is coming to an end.

@ GT 215
Just curious if anyone has looked into the differences between the brains of someone who looks for anything they can to support the notion that they are somehow demonstrably superior to others and someone like me who, while quite conscious of the fact we all have different intelligence levels and personal abilities, we are all equal in the sense that until we demonstrate either a socially problematic behavior or become a parasitic drain on our social group, we are theoretically equal at least socially.
That said, some of us certainly bring more to the table or social potlatch if you will.
Perhaps the article you presented is factually correct, if so
Then if it turns out you personally have the social and mental markers of being a narcissist person which a massive inferiority complex, which is almost invariably a patently bad member of society who puts their own needs and wants above those
Of the society.
Wouldn’t we better off without your type in better than current society as well?
Personally I wouldn’t want to live within 20 miles of you and I’m pretty white, and don’t really trust full on Muslims either but your type u
Is another one that I will chuck in the basket with those that think they are better than others for many various reasons, some bsed on facts for sure. It’s just that I don’t subscribe the idea of disregarding someone’s value based on their genetic background
Case in point, there are some traditional jews that don’t subscribe to the zioniat view point and disavow they behaviour of their genetic equals.
Hope you bring a lot to the table beyond the idea that your somehow batter than a good chunk of humanity due to your skin colour or genetic ancestry.
One last thing, I think dogs are generally regarded as less intelligent than humans pretty tough to argue that one, however they also tend to be much better companions and friends than any human due to their simplistic nature, when raised and treated right they will be your loyal friend for life, I somehow suspect your a bit more self serving than the average mutt.
Ok the other hand, how do I know that one day someone like you won’t decide I have a little too much neuro allele left in my genes and you decide to take me out.
That’s why I choose my friends carefully, based on behavior and ethical code. Not skin colour or genetic makeup.
I know some white folks I would love to see rot in a shallow grave, and many other colours would be thrown in the same hole
Conversly, i will break break with anyone who doesnt strike me as dangerous or narcissistic.
In case you didn’t pick it up,
I think the average mutt raised right is more trustworthy and worth feeding than one of your ilk.
Good day you self important whitey

With the dropping of those U$$A supplied 2,000 pound bombs on the defenseless civilians in Gaza…each bomb’s murderous destruction results in another TWO MILLION additional individuals across the world hating America and perhaps another 20,000 Americans coming to the realization that Trump is just another Zionist $tooge.
Recent polling figures amongst Gen Z Jewish young Americans reveals that at least half of them have become pro-Palestinian.
Once Nuts n’ Yahoos begins to resume his genocidal assaults on the civilian population of Gaza; those younger American Jews will axiomatically become majority anti-Zionists.
Even here in the ruptured republic Zionism is Zombieism…the walking dead.

In Islam, it is understood that all humans are born with an innate nature geared toward love and curiosity—factory settings, so to speak.
It’s later social programming that leads people from those paths.
I am not surprised to see young Jews rejecting Zionism.
The youth are most likely to bring change, which is why Western propaganda and programming are aimed primarily at them.

All over the world people support Palestine but their leaders continue to support Israel. Genocide continues. Correction must be made by all whose state’s leadership promotes this murderous, racist and illegal abomination.
Free Palestine. Remove Israel. By any means necessary.
Perhaps it is time for all concerned to discuss an international militia or fighting group to enforce international law, end the genocide, and restore and return Palestinian rights to their land. An ‘international solidarity brigade’ such as was sent to fight the fascists in Spain.

There is only one race of humans ( sadly divided as they are imbeciles, over the resources they want to plunder).
This race maybe white-ish, living in the northern hemispheres without the sun, or darke-ish, living in the southern hemisphere).
The happening of melanin really. The skin adopting to the sun rays.
But the curse on the darker skinned humans may have been that the lighter skinned ones chose to pilfer their resources, as the darker-skinned ones lived above the riches of the earth.
Very simple.

Occupation or Palestinian. Both are showing prisoners in poorer form. Those kept prisoner by occupation show signs of torture also.
Those released by Hamas (three in images I saw), looked thin, but nothing more than. Remember they were being held separately (so under different conditions). I won’t make any excuse because they emerged alive in spite of all, but food shortages existed, as a starting point.
Some occupation gov. were calling for promised food deliveries during ceasefire to be reduced now, as a collective punishment.
Maybe there was a different protocol for male/female prisoners also.
For perspective, more disturbing would be one finding that his relatives had been killed when he was captured (not necessarily by Hamas either), if I remember the report correctly.

ZH has aposting up with the title
Ayatollah Shuts Door On Negotiations With US After Trump Restores ‘Maximum Pressure’
quote

Iran’s top cleric who oversees the state, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appears to have shut the door on opening new negotiations with Washington in the wake of fresh Trump-ordered sanctions intended to disrupt Iran’s oil network and to take exports “down to zero”.
“First, negotiations with the US have no effect on solving [Iran’s] problems. The reason? Experience!” Khamenei said on Friday. He explained that during the Obama presidency, “we sat down and negotiated with the US for about two years, and an agreement was formed. In this agreement, the Iranian side was very generous and gave many concessions to the other side.”
During Trump’s first term, he unilaterally pulled the US from the ‘bad’ JCPOA nuclear deal, which happened in April 2018 – after which a “maximum pressure” campaign was imposed on Tehran. Trump this week revived this pressure campaign via ramped-up sanctions.
Khamenei continued, “But the US did not carry out that agreement. The same person who is now in office tore up that agreement. We must learn from this experience.”
He then emphasized, “One must not negotiate with a government like the US government. Negotiations with it is not wise, it is not intelligent, and is not honorable.”

Pretty much speaks for itself

I would be wary of assuming that it is actually HTS that is attacking Hezbullah. Firstly because therefore many different Daesh in the Coalition and because deception is commonplace in war. They could be IOF , Ukrainian mercenaries, or some other mercenaries under BoJo’s British banner.
Craig Murray is on the ground, so he may be right. USUKIS used Ukrainians in Iraq after the Iraq war, and Ukraine and Israel are both Revisionist Zionist Nazis.

Just in case he can’t get the Palestinians to voluntarily leave their own land, Trump is sendimg plenty of bombs to Israel. And some of the stockpile he is sending them won’t be ready until 2028, so he’s looking long-term committment here.
Asshole. Lying PoS.
———–
The US Department of Defense announced on Friday that the State Department has approved military sales to Israel totaling more than $7 billion, and would be providing thousands of bombs and missiles. It comes amid a fragile ceasefire agreement between West Jerusalem and Hamas.
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. During a joint press briefing, Trump floated the idea of Washington owning the enclave. He also proposed relocating the Palestinians outside of Gaza, and that neighboring states would be pay.
According to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), two separate sale requests were sent to Congress on Friday. One is for $6.75 billion worth of of munitions, guidance kits, and other related equipment. The deliveries would begin this year.
The second arms package includes 3,000 Hellfire missiles and associated equipment, at an estimated cost of $660 million. Deliveries of these missiles are expected to begin in 2028, and their use will require additional training from the US military.
The sale is another step in Trump’s effort to bolster Israel’s weapons stocks. Shortly after taking office in late January, he rescinded a hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. Former President Joe Biden’s administration had previously halted this shipment due to concerns about civilian casualties, especially during an attack on the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
However, Biden also informally notified Congress about a $8 billion arms deal last month, according to several media reports. Axios has claimed that the deal could be partly supplied from current US stocks, but most would take a year or more to deliver.
The DSCA announcement comes despite requests from Democratic lawmakers to pause the sale, pending further information. Representative Gregory Meeks, ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, criticized the move, stating it breaks with the long-standing precedent of congressional review for major weapons sales. “In the United States we do not have kings – we are a democracy rooted in the Constitution, governed by laws,” Meeks said.
However, this is not the first time the Trump administration has bypassed the traditional weapons review process. In 2019, he declared a national emergency to expedite the sale of over $8 billion in weapons to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan, circumventing congressional objections related to human rights concerns.
