How will “Israel” get them back, once and if, there is relative calm some day?

There will be no relative calm some day.
Ultimately all (surviving) Israelis will leave.
(And as truths unfold as they are doing now with Ukraine, it will be extremely unpleasant for them – not least because most western jews are rapidly dissociating with Israel)
We are seeing the US empire as a train going off the edge of a cliff.
Carriage Number one is Israel, it cannot survive once US no longer leads.
US is doing its best to switch to the rear carriages and push Europe to carriages 2, 3 and 4.

In 2010 Saudi Arabia pulled a false-flag designed to smear AQAP in Yemen.
They mailed bombs in printer cartridges. The Saudis were heroes as they had
managed to get the tracking numbers for the packages and alerted everyone to be
on the look out. How do you get package tracking numbers unless you are close
enough to smell the breath of the person mailing the packages?

“But how did this implicate AQAP?”, you ask.
Simple, someone anonymous posted the claim of responsibility on a Muslim chat website.
Who discovered that claim of responsibility?
Guess
SITE or SITE Intelligence Group which is manned by “former” Israeli intelligence
personnel and headquartered near Washington DC.

If you can read anonymous Muslim chat groups
then you can write to them also.

Question of the day: How long will this half-assed “cease fire” last? Does it hinge on Nuts n’ Yahoo’s legal problems…or is it more connected with the heavy casualties which shocked the IOF? Of course the slow starvation regime in Gaza is a powerful weapon employed by the evil ones.
Second question: When will the Houthis resume their missile attacks on the Entity?

So do you think Hamas intentionally triggered the genocide for the greater Israel project? With Erdogan being such an integral part of the plan, I don’t see how Hamas isn’t complicit as well. I am assuming this is a Muslim Britherhood operation, which is run by British Intelligence.

The article cited has an important flaw. “Spartacus” did have a black actor, Willie Stroud. He was the gladiator who actually started the Spartacus rebellion when he jumped into the royal box and ran a spear through the Roman provincial governor. That may have been an inspirational scene for black people during the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

News update.
Egypt has been drilling and running exercises all along the border with Israel.
For rejecting Trump’s eviction plan, the US has informed Egypt that military aid will be cut next year. The total aid to Egypt is not very much, and now that Egypt is in BRICS, economic opportunities will likely multiply. I see this as a petty move and toothless move. Giving up some millions for freedom from American control is a price that most of the Global South would happily pay.
Bibi had a court date. It did not go well. At one point he started crying and screaming that they are destroying him after everything he has done for Israel. Was it crocodile tears or a legit breakdown? Regardless, it is a sign of weakness and the breakdown of the Occupation state.
Never forget the Bibi is very ill and may not have long to live anyway.
That’s all I have right now.

Update that I received today.
Bibi is in a full conflict with Shin Bet (sorta like the FBI) for money his staff has taken from Qatari interests.
Bibi tried to replace the head of Shin Bet but for whatever reason it didn’t “take”.
They are now having a war of words in the press, with the Shin Bet leader telling Bibi to knock it off or he is going to release very damaging stuff.
Whatever all of this means, the Occupation is fragile and could collapse independent of the Resistance.
Letting a falling man hit the ground of his own accord is always a good strategy in open conflict.
This is my personal opinion, but America is headed for a similar internal collapse. Next month, next year, maybe the next decade.
All of this is the result of too many accumulated contradictions, IMO. An increasingly leaky boat can stay at sea for some time but it’s fate is fixed.
A moment of truth is inevitable for all things, including both men and states.
We see recessions and resets as bad things. They are not. Destruction is necessary for future healthy growth.
The longer a system which is sick carries on, the worse the future correction will hurt.

Israel considers Palestinians a demographic threat to the ethno-religious purity of the self-proclaimed Jewish State
That’s why it targets IVF and maternal health clinics in Gaza with “systematic attacks”

According to a new report of the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry published today, Israel’s systematic attacks and destruction of Palestinian reproductive and maternal health facilities in Gaza constitute genocidal acts.
In addition, the Israeli military “inflicted conditions of life on pregnant, post-partum and lactating women and their newborns and children in Gaza, resulting in the deprivation of essential care, food, water, medicine and shelter, that were indispensable to their survival.”
The UN Commission of Inquiry found that widespread acts of sexual and gender-based violence have been perpetrated by the Israeli military against both female and male Palestinian victims in multiple circumstances both in Gaza and the West Bank since Oct 2023

“More than a human can bear”: Israel’s systematic use ofsexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since 7 October 2023
Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the OccupiedPalestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel
In the paper, the Commission examines Israel’s widespread destruction of Gaza and the disproportionate violence against women and children resulting from Israel’s method of war, including the targeting of residential buildings and the indiscriminate use of heavy explosives in densely populated areas. It describes the destruction of Palestinians through reproductive violence and harms resulting from the Israeli Security Forces’ deliberate attacks on sexual and reproductive health care facilities and the collapsed health care infrastructure in Gaza.
The Commission also examines the sharp increase in sexual and gender-based violence perpetrated by members of the Israeli Security Forces and settlers online and in person across the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including rape and other forms of sexual violence. It also examines how sexual and gender-based violence has taken different forms when committed against male and female members of the Palestinian community in order to dominate, oppress and destroy the Palestinian people in whole or in part

🟢 Hamas delegation led by Mohammed Darwish met with a delegation from Islamic Jihad in Doha, Qatar. In a statement, Hamas said:
“The two delegations discussed the progress of implementing the ceasefire agreement, the occupation’s repeated violations, and the meetings held over the past two days to resume negotiations. They emphasized the necessity of full adherence to the terms of the ceasefire and its various stages, particularly the withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor, the opening of the crossings, the implementation of the humanitarian protocol, the entry of all essential supplies into Gaza, and the initiation of the second phase of the agreement without any restrictions or conditions.
The attendees reaffirmed the resistance’s commitment to faithfully implementing what was agreed upon in the ceasefire and its full readiness to complete this implementation.”

Hamas:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
A delegation from the leadership of Hamas, headed by the brother fighter Mohammed Darwish, Chairman of the Leadership Council, received a delegation from the Islamic Jihad Movement, which included the brother fighter Ziyad Al-Nakhaleh and his deputy, Dr. Mohammed Al-Hindi, today, Thursday, in the Qatari capital, Doha.
The attendees reflected on the steadfastness of the Palestinian people, their sacrifices, and their resilience, recalling the martyred leaders who ascended in this battle and the bravery of the resistance in confronting the occupation and its crimes.

The meeting also condemned the crimes committed by the occupation in Al-Quds and the occupied West Bank, including the destruction of camps in Jenin, Nour Al-Shams, and other areas and cities in the West Bank, as well as the prevention of worshippers from praying in the Ibrahimi Mosque—an act deemed a serious violation and an infringement upon Islamic endowments and religious sites.

“sparking outrage from Israeli officials & Republicans. (Probably undid billions of $ of propaganda”
Exactly. What we see as a united front of Israeli public hatred of Palestinians is simply a Nazi mirage. A wobbling soap bubble of propaganda. Anybody living directly under a Fascist regime like Saudi Arabia or Israel, knows the consequences of disagreeing even mildly with the junta in power.
Adam Boehler made the mistake of thinking that Israel is Liberal Regime supported by God as per the Evangelical Zionists. But he has quickly exposed Israel as a Nazi, apartheid state whose skin is so thin it cannot accept the minutest deviance from its corporate agenda.
As to my comment 35 above, I have no idea who runs what in Political Islam.
My point was merely that the more money you got , the less you represent the interests of Islam and the more you influence you have over USUKIS.
Let me say this, that even if the Sauds help Donald Trump financially with cash and politically with the Conquest of Syria, the foam-flecked Nazis of Likud are never going to sign over an atom of their land to form a Palestinian state.
The Sauds don’t read their Qur’an if they think the Israelis will give the Muslims even the dot on a datestone of power. What the Qur’an is telling us , and who has ears to hear, let them hear,
No amount of money will buy a Free Palestine.
Whacking Alawis eases the pain of Saudi pride after losing in Syria and Yemen.
But it doesn’t buy peace. The only thing that will buy peace is Muslim Unity, as they agreed with China, but broke their agreement, and a United Muslim + others attack on Israel.
The Sauds are wasting EVERYBODY’s time fixating on their petty tribal vengeances and pathetic attempts to ingratiate the Zionists with Syrian land.
The Land of Sham is the Religious Totem of the Zionists and until that Totem pole is removed or destroyed for them , they will continue to worship their fake idol, which for Khazars isn’t even theirs.
Prehistory is littered with borrowed idols. The US Evangelicals are prostrating to the borrowed Zion idol. It’s sickening, but Allah knows his own Creation. For those who manically worship idols , only death is the cure.

Regarding ceasefire:
Journalist Youssef Fares
• “Islamic Jihad spokesman to Al-Arabiya TV:
The flexibility shown by the resistance is evidence that the occupation is the one obstructing the negotiations
. We are confident that our brothers in Hamas are keen to achieve the goals of the second phase of the Gaza agreement.”
• “Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem told Al-Arabiya TV:
Hamas’s agreement is part of its positive engagement with the mediators’ efforts.
We put the occupation’s violations before the mediators during the last round of negotiations.
The mediators must pressure the occupation to complete the ceasefire agreement.
The US administration is responsible for exerting pressure on the occupation to compel it to abide by the agreement.”
• “A Hamas source told Al-Arabiya TV:
– The occupation and the American mediator are trying to evade negotiations regarding the second phase and limit it to an exchange.
– Witkov proposed releasing half the detainees and half the bodies, and after our refusal, the demands were limited to only five.
– The negotiations are currently at a standstill, but the atmosphere is positive regarding the possibility of reaching an agreement.”
• “Axios: Netanyahu will decide tomorrow on the next steps to release the hostages.”

UN Commission: “There is no escape from the conclusion that Israel has employed sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians to terrorise them and perpetuate a system of oppression that undermines their right to self-determination.”
“Specific forms of sexual and gender-based violence – such as forced public stripping and nudity, sexual harassment including threats of rape, as well as sexual assault – comprise part of the Israeli Security Forces’ standard operating procedures toward Palestinians.”
“Other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, including rape and violence to the genitals, were committed either under explicit orders or with implicit encouragement by Israel’s top civilian and military leadership, the report said.”
“A climate of impunity also exists with regard to sexual and gender-based crimes committed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, with the aim of instilling fear into the Palestinian community and expelling them.”….
“Women and girls have died from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth due to the conditions imposed by the Israeli authorities which have denied access to reproductive health care – acts which amount to the crime against humanity of extermination.”
“sexual and gender-based violence is increasingly used as a method of war by Israel to destabilize, dominate, oppress and destroy the Palestinian people”….
“The Commission found that Israeli forces have systematically destroyed sexual and reproductive healthcare facilities across Gaza. They have simultaneously imposed a siege and prevented humanitarian assistance, including the provision of necessary medication and equipment to ensure safe pregnancies, deliveries and post-partum and neonatal care.”…..
https://x.com/NimerSultany/status/1900163702587883685
Regarding genocide, the importance of this report is twofold: 1. it strengthens the case of South Africa in @CIJ_ICJ because now there is a finding of genocide by an Independent UN Commission.
2. It strengthens the findings of @FranceskAlbs @amnesty @hrw (also @pchrgaza @alhaq_org) on genocide and adds to them “preventing briths” as another genocidal act, or another grounds for charging Israel with genocide, as South Africa argued in @CIJ_ICJ in December 2023…..
https://x.com/NimerSultany/status/1900203408293814566
“The Commission therefore concludes that sexual and gender-based violence was intended not only to humiliate, punish and intimidate the individual Palestinians but the civilian population as a whole, with the objective to subordinate, destroy and expel the Palestinian community.”

Trump flip-flops on his pronouncements throughput the week.
IMO, the sane and rational way to deal with all of it is to ignore until he puts something into action.
I truly believe that appearing unpredictable and crazy is by design. He probably has a very clear vision in mind, but he sure isn’t telling anyone.
Regardless, he doesn’t control much. The US Navy is scared of Ansarallah, and Bibi is rapidly becoming the least popular Israeli in Israel.
At the risk of getting out over my skis, the Resistance will win.
When? Who knows but they will win or all be dead.

Those who live in Palestine from after or via the displacement of Palestinians are all Zionist, as far as they recognise the “jewish state”. Few are there without giving that recognition I think.
Those abroad who recognise “Israel” also are.
Almost all probably.
Opinion goes from that they do not oppose zionism, through to all being zionist by necessity via interpretation of their scripture.
What I would grant is that some or many are pacifist. Obviously there would be the hypocrisy with that of inhabiting land taken from, and being withheld from, those who had resided there an indefinite period of time and that knew (and know) it as their own, by force, or of being part of a state that is violent or forceful.
Just preying upon being preyed upon by their fellows, hence…or just being of use as apology for “Israel” ?
They would have to return Palestine to its owners to know if they were not zionist, or to know if they were welcomed.

Yes.

Not all zionists are premeditated murderers, but they are all thieves while they walk on land that is taken from others.
As I think Giyane mentioned, to take power from the hand of an enemy is not good or wise.
Those that feed from the zionist hand are therefore not wise, unless they do not mind being associated with its crimes.

☀️👀 @zei_squirrel
the new UN report documents mass systematic sexual violence and rape by Israel against Palestinian children, women and men. In its article on it, the BBC continually says the report’s conclusions are mere “allegations”, even though it is a definitive investigative report from the legally mandated UN body tasked with conducting investigations and drawing legally binding conclusions. It also intersperses the deranged Israeli denials after every other statement from the report to further minimize its credibility.
In the BBC’s article on the Patten rape hoax report, which does not have an investigative mandate and actually did not establish anything beyond a reasonable doubt, they do not use the term “alleged” once, but instead state its tentative totally irrelevant claims as pure fact.
And you can see this replicated by the rest of the Western media class: New York Times, Guardian, AP, Reuters, CNN, Washington Post. If they report on it at all, they will all rape-launder for Israel just as gleefully as they fabricated and spread the genocidal atrocity propaganda rape hoax that enabled all this actual documented systematic mass rape in the first place.

Specific forms of sexual and gender-based violence – such as forced public stripping and nudity, sexual harassment including threats of rape, as well as sexual assault – comprise part of the Israeli Security Forces’ standard operating procedures toward Palestinians.
Other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, including rape and violence to the genitals. were committed either under explicit orders or with implicit encouragement by Israel’s top civilian and military leadership, the report said.

“Gaza: A Dream with a Window for Emigration,”
“In 2018, the “Derekh Hayyim” [5] (“Way of Life”) movement presented a plan to solve the “Gaza problem.” This plan, published on the movement’s website (no longer accessible) and its social media pages, as well as on the “HaKol HaYehudi” (“The Jewish Voice”) site affiliated with the Hilltop Youth, was titled “Gaza: Rethinking the Path—Decisive Action, Occupation, Education, Emigration.” It rested on four pillars as indicated by its title, yet its fundamental aim lay in displacing the Gaza Strip by any means possible, with a specific emphasis on encouraging emigration. This encouragement would involve imposing a complete and suffocating siege, during which the entry of water, electricity, and food into the Strip would be halted, while simultaneously opening channels for departure—supported financially and logistically by Israel—without regard for the final destination of those leaving. The next phase would be reoccupation, conducted via a scorched-earth policy that labels anyone remaining in Gaza as a “terrorist,” culminating in absolute subjugation of the Strip and the departure of its last Palestinian inhabitant. ”

Incredible
Reuters Main Headline:
US to probe Columbia protests for terrorism violations, official says
Subtext under main headline:

The U.S. Justice Department said on Friday it was looking into what it said were possible violations of terrorism laws during protests over the Gaza war at Columbia University, putting fresh pressure on the epicenter of last year’s nationwide anti-Israel activism.

Genocide protests is blotted out and instead it is “anti-Israel activism”.
“Anti-Israel” is, according to the body of the article, “anti-semitism”.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the investigation was part of President Donald Trump’s “mission to end antisemitism in this country,” calling it a pushback that was “long overdue.”

The argument appears to be that being anti-Genocide is anti-Israel (and antisemitism) and anti-Israel is pro-Hamas; and
Hamas, the organization supported by “Israel” before October 7th,
is a designated-terrorist group (per the US).

I know that the above is nothing new to anyone at MoA.
It seemed so …I cannot find the right word…stark,
to see that headline and subtext on Reuters.
A stark reminder of how far the US has descended into the dark abyss.

Never forget that Zionism has been a British project for over a century.
It didn’t start in America, it started in the UK.

As I understand it, the Orthodox Jews that refuse to fight are from the Mizrahi sect, descendents that never left Palestine. So in a sense, they too are occupied by the Zionist intruders.

That’s over-simplistic. Zionism started in continental Europe. Christian Zionism, as we now call it, in the UK was why it succeeded.

I haven’t any words to add to this:
———–
In northern Gaza, acute malnutrition doubled in a month: UNICEF
In northern Gaza, one in three children under two years of age suffers from acute malnutrition, marking a “staggering escalation” from 15.6 percent in January, according to nutrition screenings conducted by the United Nations children’s agency.
In a statement released by UNICEF, malnutrition is spreading rapidly due to restricted aid, with at least 23 children reportedly having died from malnutrition and dehydration in recent weeks.
UNICEF screenings in February found that 4.5 percent of children in shelters and health centres were suffering from severe wasting, the deadliest form of malnutrition.
Acute malnutrition among children under five has surged from 13 percent to 25 percent.
Screenings in Khan Younis found that 28 percent of children under two suffer from acute malnutrition, with more than 10 percent experiencing severe wasting.
In Rafah, where aid access is highest, acute malnutrition among children under two doubled from 5 percent in January to 10 percent by February, while severe wasting rose fourfold from 1 to more than 4 percent.

British governments – are up to their necks in collaborating with Israeli arms firm – that supplies weapons to the Zionists to keep the genocide going.
“Keir Starmer’s government held a private meeting with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons company, Declassified has found.
The meeting occurred in December 2024 and was attended by three representatives from Elbit Systems and three officials from Yvette Cooper’s Home Office.
It took place months after Israeli forces used an Elbit drone to kill three British military veterans in Gaza who were protecting a humanitarian aid convoy.
The revelation comes in documents obtained by Declassified through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to the Home Office, who refused to detail which officials were present or what was discussed.
It said that a recording of the meeting was made “but by mutual agreement [with Elbit] this was agreed… not to be released” through FOI.
Under the previous Conservative government, the Home Office also met with Elbit Systems and attempted to encourage the UK police to crack down on pro-Palestine activism.
Elbit’s efforts to counter Palestine Action in Britain seem to have gone even further. Declassified can reveal the company has its own “intelligence cell” and shares “information with the [UK] police across the country on a two weekly basis”.”

Nothing will happen to halt the Zionists – for sadly the world doesn’t care enough about Palestinians – and the UN is all but powerless – (intentionally or not) – some of the West backs the Zionists genocide – and truth be told – the only thing the Zionists respect is power through force – and that I’m afraid, is the only way the genocide will be stopped – Yemen and Iran know this.
“The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has denounced the widespread home demolitions by Israeli military forces in the three refugee camps in the northern West Bank, calling for international action to stop the policy.
In a statement released on Saturday, the ministry condemned the crime of forced displacement, which has driven more than 40,000 Palestinian citizens from their homes, especially during the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
It emphasized that such crimes fall within the framework of the occupying Tel Aviv regime’s plans to consolidate its control over and annex the West Bank, including East al-Quds.
The Palestinian foreign ministry noted that it will continue to monitor the suffering of Palestinians, and shed light on their plight through global bodies, fact-finding and investigation committees, special rapporteurs, assistants to the secretary-general of the United Nations, and all international parties.”

Musk, has been acting as a proper little Zionist – in aiding and abetting his POTUS pal Trump, in supplying the murderous Zionists who are committing genocide in Gaza – and for his evil endeavours – the monster Netanyahu feels its time to reward him.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited Tesla to bid for car contracts at a time when some countries are distancing themselves from Tesla due to Elon Musk’s controversial political activities.
On Thursday, Netanyahu reposted an article saying that his cabinet had invited Tesla to participate in a tender to supply vehicles to top Israeli officials.
The article, published in the Jewish News Syndicate on Thursday, cited a “senior Israeli government source” as saying that Tel Aviv is eyeing a fleet of the electronic vehicles.”

But will it go anywhere is the prime question – lets hope so.
“A cross-party group of British MPs has joined former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in demanding an independent, public investigation into Britain’s support for Israel during its genocidal war on Gaza.
In a letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer on March 4, Corbyn, now an independent MP, said that Britain has “played a highly influential role” in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
Corbyn mentioned John Chilcot’s probe into Britain’s role in the invasion of Iraq along with the US in 2003 during Tony Blair’s administration.
The inquiry found that Blair’s government had based its decision on “flawed intelligence and assessments.”
Corbyn urged a similar inquiry into Britain’s complicity with Israel in its devastating war on Gaza, which has killed more than 48,500 Palestinians so far.”
In addition to providing intelligence and allowing the use of British military bases and facilities, Britain has sold combat aircraft, missiles, tanks, technology, small arms, and ammunition to Israel.
Between October 2023 and May 2024, the British government approved over 100 new licenses allowing UK companies to sell arms to Israel.”

Trump: “the people will be able to live in comfort and peace and we’ll make sure something really spectacular is done…The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative…They instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again.”
Then it turns out the “spectacular”opportunity, the “beautiful area”, means Sudan or Somalia. Like the proverbial swampland in Florida… the spectacular deal on a bridge in Manhattan…

@76 Mary
I agree wherever that applies, which is why I notioned post colonial settlers. There are Sephardic jews also, and certainly others, that resided in Palestine before colonial take over. The Palestinians who have taken “Israeli” citizenship, they have their own story.
Complicity or due to pragmatism. Who is to judge ?
It is not a straightforward picture. The same applies to the whole theme of natural origin anywhere… entitlement and redemption. That is visible as political fronts often, but even when not you will find different groups of people in most countries that disassociate from being included in whatever set of ‘national’.
In Palestine there are two facets that overlap. Reducing non colonial “Israeli” to a minority that cannot take political control of the territory, and taking as much land for the zionist/colonial minded. Both are mixed with foreign international agendas, political, geopolitical, and financial, amongst other. An incredibly complex reality in fact.

Israel (and America) are not behaving like winners.
Everything they do in this region these days reeks of desperation.
It’s a beautiful thing to see when the tables turn on the colonizers.
The Palestinians will never leave voluntarily and will resist displacement with force. No one will take them in because the Arab states know it will set a precedent to establish Greater Israel.
This doesn’t have to end in blood but it probably will.
Europeans have been trying to steal this land for over 1,000 years. To date, they have always had to leave and try again.
When they leave this time, it will be for good. They won’t get another chance to return. They know that, hence why they are clinging so hard to their latest “moment”.
It’s not unlike the desperation we’re seeing in the EU vis a vis Romania. When a weak foundation starts to crack, collapse becomes inevitable.
