Short overview of events so far today.
Various strikes on Lebanon, using rocket fire of unknown origin as pretext, ongoing protests in occupied Palestine, continued bombing and shelling of Gaza with threats to increase. An extra US carrier is under way to the Red Sea, Ansar-Allah is currently targeting occupied Palestine and targets in the north Red Sea, presumably Truman. Disparate statements of all kinds being published, I include some below. No aid has entered Gaza since beginning of March according to UNRWA:
Journalist Youssef Fares
•”Witkoff:
“The people in Gaza need hope. A state cannot be built on a safety net of aid alone; an economic horizon must be created.” At this point, the US envoy avoided using the term “two-state solution,” but said, “We must create a space where the Palestinians can have a better life. It’s not just about homes, it’s about the future, it’s about the dream. Our children have a dream, and they must have it too.”
Regarding Hamas, he said: “An armed terrorist organization cannot be left in Gaza. This will never be acceptable to Israel. But if they give up their weapons, there might be room for some kind of political participation. Gaza cannot be administered while Hamas rules it at gunpoint.””
•”UNIFIL sources told Al-Hadath TV:
We have not observed any Hezbollah military activity on the border since November.”
•”Lebanon
Member of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc, Hassan Ezzedine:
The enemy does not need excuses and does not care about the agreement signed by the Lebanese government.
The complete harmony between Washington and Tel Aviv is more of a free hand for the enemy to obtain what it failed to obtain on the ground.
The resistance and its people gave the government the opportunity to exercise its role through diplomacy, but it seems that the enemy does not pay attention to all of that.
The enemy wants to pressure the government to submit to the conditions it demanded of Lebanon.
This patience has limits, and the right of this resistance, its people, and its citizens is ultimately to defend themselves. ”
•Journalist Hossam Shabat
“Follow-up | UNRWA: No aid has entered Gaza since the beginning of March.”

The IDF and the Bibi war cabinet are obviously targeting strictly civilian personnel and infrastructure now – the proof is the assassination by airstrikes of the civilian Supt of Gaza DPW, and now in the assassination by airstrike of an MP in his tent no less.
All part of the genocidal attacks on any civil servant providing essential service to the civilian populace, as if the IDF did not already destroy most of the civilian infrastructure.
The IDF continues to block all shipments of needed fuel, food, fresh water (since they destroyed all the fresh water spring plants in Gaza), medical supplies (they just destroyed yet another UN medical aid station and attacked another hospital, the Turk Hospital in Gaza).
They continue to attack the remaining house and apartment structures, even though the vast majority have already been destroyed, and are attacking as we speak tent cities of helpless, and harmless war refugees and their families.
Hopefully the ICC is busy cataloguing all these genocidal actions for future use, but I have my doubts, they are too busy issuing arrest warrants for Philippine Presidents or Russians…..

Russia and Chuna say words of condemnation too, sometimes, just like you do.
Palestine is on the other side of the world from China, and essentially a TINY Abrahamic family fight to them.
Russia has hundreds of thousands of Russians being killed a year on its hands, but it should also involve itself in trying to solve the millenia old problems of the middle east?
I hate this moral relativism. It like the old christian bs about sin is sin. Sorry, masturbation and rape are not equivicable sins.
And Russia and Chiba are not anywhere near “just as responsible” for the Palestinian situation.
At best it is angry flailing, trying to get others to do more, and die more, to satisfy your sense of justice. At worst it is fork-tongued false equivelency, meant to make all parties “just as guilty”, which in essence gives a major pass to NATO, and minor passes to the Gulf States.

For those of you who think that “Israel” will come out of this a despised pariah state, I propose that history teaches that a decade or two from the successful conclusion of the genocide “Israel” will enjoy normal relations with all states, and that the individual’s reaction to reports of the genocide will be something like “Okay, pizza or burgers tonight, and will somebody switch out the SodaStream cartridge?”
That is, if “Israel” wins.

The release of the hostages must have had a huge impact on the brain washed occupiers with many now holding up pictures of slain Palestinian children at anti regime protests.

Arch, an interesting article in Aletho News sending the USS Carl Vinson from Yokosuka to replace or support the USS George Washington which has had an easy time picking off the Yemeni drones and anti ship missiles launched from Yemen from 1000 km away. The argument is that the old and slow drones and missiles still have to be shot at, one by one, and sooner, rather than later, the missiles will need to be replaced. The US Navy cannot replenish its vertical launch systems at sea, which means, at some point:
Quote:
the Trembling Puppy and its entourage are going to have to leave the cozy waters between Jeddah and the Gulf of Suez, and run the gauntlet of the Gate of Lamentation (Bab el-Mandeb).
That’s when things could get more interesting. Because it’s a pretty tight squeeze to pass through. A big deep-draft aircraft carrier can’t just run at full speed, zig-zagging back and forth. It has to stick to the navigable channel.
In the relatively open waters north of Jeddah, there is quite a bit of room for maneuver. But in the straits, you’re restricted to a narrow band — and most significantly, potential Yemeni missile launching sites are only ~200 km away. A more substantial strike package of 50 or so drones, antiship cruise missiles, antiship ballistic missiles, and fast boat and surface drone attacks will get there a whole lot faster, and with a much better chance of actually hitting something….
See the Map in the Link above.

The vertical launch air defenses on the Destroyers must be reloaded at Port.
This rotation of vessels is likely about logistic limitations.
IMO, Yemen is sending $5,000 drones to eat up 2 or 3 expensive and scarce AD missiles each time. With AD you always fire more than one to confirm interception.
Financial + labor costs make this confrontation a big loser for America. The Houthis are happy to play this game all day if they can keep Ben Gurion locked down.
The Houthis withstood the Saudis with US backing for years. The only way America can move the needle is a ground invasion, which plays right into Ansar Allah’s strengths.

You haven’t been paying attention either. A human mind is a very curious creature. It can be male and its curiousity about femaleness causes it to switch sex. It can be Muslim and it’s curiosity about Western freedoms can make it experiment with relationships that God warns against.
Political Islam is infatuated with a story in the Qur’an in which the prophet Moses AS is strung along by a hard-hearted scholar who breaks the rules of Islam. This means in effect that ‘ the ends justify the means’, the foundation of all Politics from the beginning of time.
Israel is being exposed as the nest of maniac vipers that it has always been through this genocide.
Hard though it is to witness the genocide, it is Israel that has destroyed itself by the US and UK giving it enough rope to hang itself.
Liar Israel has been out-lied by political Islam, and it’s partners US and UK are exposing their true colonial violence to the entire world.
The sacrifices made by the Palestinians are sacrifices for which they will be Compensated beautifully in Heaven.
The oppressions of USUKIS will be rewarded by permanent, unending torment in the fire of Hell.

Hello Bernhard and the participants on this public forum.
The opening comment by John Gilberts in this Palestine Open Thread 2025-058 starts with a quote from an article at PressTV:

“Gaza’s health ministry says Israel’s renewed savagery has led to the massacre of 970 people in 48 hours.

That savagery mentioned in the PressTV article, which is currently taking place in Gaza and Palestine, has been shown to the prophet Daniel during his time. You will find it mentioned in Scripture here:

Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
book of the prophet Daniel, chapter 7, verse 7 – King James Version

—
In a turn of events, which Bernhard hastily described on March 17th 2025 with the topic Trump Bombs Yemen (Short Take), it became evident that the war parties involved –that is anti-Christ Israel and its instigators (not just supporters) including the United States and the UK– are not interested in a peaceful outcome. No matter what guarantees they give, no matter what agreements are reached, no matter how many concessions the targeted victims make, and no matter how many people die and suffer because of their activities, the war parties involved just do not care and continue to fabricate a pretense in order to supposedly justify the devouring through their war-machine –the Scripture would use the term Beast in this case.
And the language which recently has been introduced in the media landscape –about annihilating this or that people, and talks about hell supposedly having to be paid (as if they who foolishly use this remark understand the true meaning of this phrase)– are indicators of a mindset which believes that there won’t be any consequences for wrong doing. And the Scripture is full of examples of leaders and rulers in the past, who also succumbed to this type of mindset.
But because some think that those old stories of Scripture are fairy tails, or because some –due to counsel based on godlessness– let themselves be convinced that it won’t play out this time, as it already did so many times in the past, I chose to highlight this type of mindset in a language, which people who grew up with Hollywood may find easier to comprehend and related to.
For this purpose I used the protagonist called Q from the popular science fiction production in the 1980s and 1990s called Star Trek – The Next Generation, and I am relating one of the episodes of Star Trek with real world circumstances and currently ongoing events. Even diehard Star Trek fans, who memorized even minute details about this popular science fiction series, should find it intriguing to discover the bit of information which I expose by the addition to my already published article.
I published the article itself in May 2024 here:

Hollywood has been used for an extended period of time for the purpose of make-belief. This purpose does not differ in any way from the purpose of false religions throughout the history of mankind.
But whether it be the worship of idols in past times, or the watching of Hollywood movies in our current times, when people become aware of the context and when their eyes are opened to perceive, then such make-belief looses its power. And it is for this purpose that I began publishing my Christian articles; for those who are interested to know the Truth.
Sincerely,
George (Gevorg)

The Iranian Revolution has no analogue in the Sunni world.
The closest manifestation is Hamas and the Palestinian militias but they never had an opportunity to produce a nation-state based on Islamic ideals combined with a revolutionary anti-imperial approach.
To a practicing Muslim, nothing done “for the sake of Allah” can ever be futile. It’s the reason that we exist. To serve our Creator and if necessary, to die in his service, because to atheists, death is the end, but for believers (of any faith, anywhere) death is part of an eternal process.

369 – I once took part in a protest about disappearances in Turkey. (The four people in question later turned out to have been tortured to death and their corpses destroyed with explosives.) A couple of Moroccan Sunnis came up and asked why we were protesting. “If they disappeared it was because Allah wished it.” It might explain why Sunni states tend to be tyrannies, and perhaps get away with it because everything is Allah’s will. Shi’ism in its various iterations has often taken the form of a protest movement – perhaps a protest against the Sunni tendency to merely wait for pie in the sky when you die…

Your point was understood by me.
I think it has become obvious that many terrorist groups are operated by Western states to discredit legitimate resistance and to sow fear in vulnerable nations.
Over the last year, Africans have started to notice that groups such as Boko Haram endure for decades and always have the latest kit, despite the presence of French and American troops meant to suppress them, always with the rationale that they are there to “help” against terrorism.
Here is my thing. If the West can sanction Cuba into poverty and sanction Russians and Iranians, why can’t they shut down or confiscate the cartels’ or terrorists’ money?
At the end of the day, it all passes through the same system. 🤔🤔🤔
IMO, it’s another psyop.

Human thinking and communication is driven by narrative. So it borders on a truism depending on the context. I respect your religious beliefs Don Bass. But do we not find an attempt in religion to create a narrative explanation of God and creation?
I would certainly agree that when we find religion and War internet, it is merely pretext, if not a perverse description of faith.
Truth is a point of view, recording and measurement can be contrasted against it. So both of the above statements are true. As we see in this thread there is very little tolerance for multiple truths to exist and be in contradiction to each other.
It begs the question why religion is wired into Humanity. And science can certainly be another religion. The explanation is deeply complex, emergent, and a profound question for the individual.

I think it’s much more likely that the recruits for Daesh headchopping come from Muslim cultures like the Uyghurs and Sufis that have lost most of their connection to actual Islam , and the European, Talmudic , Khazar Israelis have taught them that eschatalogical Amlalek pornographic murder of enemies is their religion.
DunGroanin said Jolani is a Jew , like
Baghdadi, Simon Elliot before him. But no evidence. The trail has naturally been scrubbed clean. I don’t know how many times I have to say it , but after the Jewish psyops 9/11 (many died, who’s counting?) USUKIS put many ordinary Muslims into prisons around Central Europe (EU’s Poland etc) , West Asia’s Assad , Egypt’s Mubarak, Uzbekistan- and torture-brainwashed them into heartless genociders.
USUKIS even waterboard their own soldiers. Sorry, but it’s a completec red herring to suggest some DNA connection between Jolani and Israel.
The connection is plain to see , but the subject is taboo. Dr Mengeles developed the system of psychological rebooting for the Nazis in WW2. Like much else that comes from Nazism, it has no other practical application than to create murderers, or like Lavender, systems of murder.
They found that certain parts of the brain that control human behaviour can be altered by violence and Lithium drugs. Wasting my breath talking about Western Taboos about creating monsters.
How much rape and sniping monstery to we have witness on videos on X from Gaza and Lebanon, before we accept that these IDF and HTS monsters have been re-programned? Wasting my precious time. Sigh.

Here is your new leader
we chose him just for you
the other guy is gonna die
and we’ve arranged a coup
our good and faithful minions
share all of our opinions
so if you wanna live
here’s what yer gonna do
Arrest our competition
and buy our submarines
and force your population
to submit to our vaccines
just do as you are told
don’t make us use the stick
for we can be quite ruthless
when we want to be a prick.
Masters of the Universe
Rulers of the Earth
We decide who lives or dies
which laws and lies are birthed
No one would love them
if not for the nukes
the blackmail the sanctions
and CIA spooks
the stealing the lying
the torture the spying
the starving and dying
and flag falsifying
they are vulgar and crass
and bold as brass
and expect everybody
to kiss their ass
the exceptional nation
whose main occupation
is forced subjugation
and world domination
don’t dare to point out
their crimes or hypocrisy
or they may decide
to send in the democracy
Until the great fall
that ends the Cabal
we must put up our fronts
and bow to these pricks

@ migmaw,
And Jews condemn themselves constantly and have done for 76 years since most have supported, promoted and funded Zionist Israel which claims to speak and act for Jews.
Everytime a Jew conflates condemnation of Zionism with anti-semitism they are saying that Zionism and Zionist Israel represents Judaism and Jews!
Apart from that being patently untrue, they are telling the world that all Israel is and does represents the values, if we can use that word, practises and intentions of Judaism and Jews and that includes:
Being the greatest intentional mass murderer of children in recorded history
Occupation, colonisation, genocide, ethnic cleansing
Rape, including of children; torture, including of children
Rape, officially sanctioned by the Knesset using gun barrels, broom handles and metal rods, gauranted to kill the victim in an agony which is so bestial it was horrifying to watch Israeli Government members say there should be more of it
Murder, particularly of children
Torture of doctors
Murder of doctors, journalists, ambulance drivers, nurses, academics
Destruction of hospitals, universities, churches, mosques, schools, aid centres
Shooting children, including toddlers in the head and heart documented by international doctors including the American and Jewish Dr Mark Perlmutter
Shooting pregnant women in the stomach and then wearing T shirts saying One Shot-Two Kills, with much laughter. This practise by the way has been around for more than a decade. Such a joke to the Israelis.
Dressing up in the lingerie of women they have killed
Tying the toys of children they have killed to their tanks
Stripping men and boys and tossing them into pits and shooting them. The Israeli Occupation Forces filmed themselves doing that.
Murdering patients and medical staff and burying their bodies in pits.
Leaving seven premature babies to die, rot and be chewed by dogs after driving out hospital staff at gunpoint.
The sadistic torture and murder of Hind Rajab, nearly six years old, murdered with 355 bullets sent into the car where she huddled in terror with the bodies of her aunt, uncle and four cousins and then the murder of the brave ambulance men who came to save her and who had given route and co-ordinates to the Israeli military
Theft, destruction, sadistic cruelty and bestial savagery
As inflicted by Israel and documented by Israeli and international human rights groups for 76 years with the worst of it in the past 17 months, in a raging slaughter of vengeance which has left nearly 2000 families exterminate and as many again with one member left alive. Not forgetting the highest rate of child amputees in history and the fact Israel has ensured that children – babies, toddlers, adults have had one or four limbs amputated without anaesthetics and women have had C-sections without anaesthetics, in a level of sadistic cruelty which outdoes even the Nazis.
How can any sane individual even suggest that shooting, bombing, destroying, starving, torturing, raping, stealing – Israeli soldiers actually filmed themselves robbing Palestinian banks and homes – represents Judaism and its teachings and values?
To even suggest that someone saying Zionists do not deserve to live, means they are saying Jews do not deserve to live is admitting to the world that everything Israel does and represents is promoted, supported and practised by Jews and their religion.
If you do not know the atrocities Zionists, Israelis and Jews have committed and are committing then you should. There is no argument in this age that you did not know. And when you do know you would not be surprised that some want death for those committing such evil.
While some Jews have always condemned and rejected Zionist Israel and its genocidal slaughters, too many have not and you just play the Zionist game when you say valid and required condemnation of Zionist Israel represents hatred of Jews and their religion.
Israel is debased and a taint and stain on Judaism and Jews and the sooner Jews understand that and join the civilized world and stop waving a tattered flag about Jewish suffering nearly a century ago, which, given the genocidal slaughter by Jews in Palestine just makes them look like deranged hypocrites, the better they and their religion will be.
