🇵🇸🇮🇱Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida: Half of the living enemy prisoners are in areas that the occupation “army” has requested to be evacuated in recent days.
We decided not to transfer these prisoners from these areas and to keep them under strict security measures, but it can be extremely dangerous to their lives.
If the enemy is concerned about the lives of these prisoners, then he must immediately negotiate for their evacuation or release.
Netanyahu’s government bears full responsibility for the lives of prisoners. If he was concerned about them, it would have adhered to the agreement it signed in January. Most of them would probably be in their homes today.

🇮🇱🇸🇾🇹🇷 BREAKING:
Israel warns:
“We will destroy Turkey in Syria just as we destroyed Iran. These countries must withdraw from our borders.”
A senior Israeli official told Reuters:
“We don’t want a Turkish buildup near our borders. We hope Ankara does not seek confrontation.”
According to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority:
Israel will prevent Turkey from establishing air and naval bases in Syria. If Turkey crosses red lines, Israel will respond at any time.

I have reached a new understanding after further research.
Israel is an American project. Zionism is on both sides of the equation. Everything that Israel does is sanctioned (if not planned) by the Americans.
This is not anti-Americanism. This is understanding colonialism in its most advanced forms.
Whether a potential conflict between Turkiye and Amerisrael is genuine, I do not know.
Erdogan is a tricky character to assess. I do not doubt that if America falters in West Asia, he will try to do as much as he can to restore the Ottoman domain.

The UK and other countries are mixed up in the Zionist project, but they do not run it. They just do not have the capability or influence, and most of which is used just to try to try to sell or cover the idea to their own people. There is all kind of intrigue that goes on, but you know I have been close enough to some of the background arranging, close enough to some ‘important’ people to be able to understand their position, the order of influences, and their own priorities.
The majority of British are not fooled, why do you think the various political tricks have to be played to keep the country pointing in a certain direction. It is so obvious, that establishment have accepted looking like useful idiots just to be able to stay in the game.
I don’t tend to speak against own country, and understand why others don’t. It isn’t of fear, or defense of, just that you have to be very sure before you challenge or question openly. The above isn’t any kind of concession, it is what I understand of own country’s role from a critical and relatively informed viewpoint.
To underline that, there are various people I know who are traditional British, who value the country, are respectful of the order and appreciative of their position in society. People who would not lie or be able to pretend to me. They are telling me along the lines of “I think it is becoming obvious that there are people arranging what is going on” , meaning strangers, something that does not fit as of the country.
It is all I am able to say, and I don’t expect anyone to just take my word for it either.

An obsession with old white dictators ruling over them.
It overlaps with the way they portray their Christian God:
An old white megalomaniac.
It’s reflected in their academic, corporate and religious structures: the worship of old white men with crude medieval attitudes.
My theory is that their rulers are selected to reflect this archetype and it triggers something within even the most reasonable white man, forcing him to replace reason with worship.

Interesting that today is the first I recall of the houthis downing a non-military drone. Reapers plenty, yes, but today a Giant Shark F360?? Has the west tired of losing $30 million dollar drones or have they become short supply? Does this $10k Chinese drone offer similar capabilities of the Reaper? I suppose similar optics can be fitted. They both crash and burn the same. With under 400 reaper drones produced and over 22 being downed it seems someone has made the call to fly in cheap Chinese drones. For surveillance or for depleting houthis aa-missile stocks? And from where are these cheap Chinese drones being launched from? 150 km range 4 hour flight time these aren’t coming from far away. Most interesting development of the week.

Et voilá, the racism debate is back! No surprise here, as we couldn’t lead it to its conclusion the other day. We might be getting nearer, though.
I don’t feel like Arch’s observation is objectionable, and if it’s racism, well, I’ll still agree. But I think his conclusion might have it backwards: it’s not in the genes of the white man, but in the figure of God put forth especially by the Roman catholic branch of industrious virtue-signalling. This God is not exactly one us – our brother, as Mani says. I can’t map out the full consequences of that, but this kind of removed “existence” (well) of ‘God’ is most certainly an issue.

R2R: Zionist Lawyer Embarrasses Canada’s Legal Profession – And Themselves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PedSVkKuA0Y
“In Canada, controversy erupted last week when the Advocate’s Society, a national organization of 6,000 judges and lawyers from across Canada, revoked a speaking invitation to Syrian refugee Tareq Hadhad.
So why did the Society revoke its speaking invitation? Because, on one single occasion, Hadhad referred to Israel’s war on Palestinians as a ‘genocide‘.
In this report, Dimitri Lascaris breaks down Lisus’s spurious arguments against Tareq Hadhad. He also comments upon the Advocate’s Society’s shameless capitulation to Zionist pressure.”
The famous Canadian dissident human rights lawyer and scholar Dr Bruce Clark, once described the Canadian bench and bar’s ongoing history on the Indigenous land issue as ‘a theater of the absurd operating completely outside the rule of law’.

Like ‘baloney’, like US trash culture and screen violence, like evangelism, even militarism is being shoed in by US using Russia as proxy. Europeans overall do not like US culture, they find it distasteful, even libleft and ultra are small minorities. The cloak being tried on europe at the moment, over the last few decades, is alien. Outside of europe though, you will see it projected as an established reality. That is plain psyop, if you know the various populations.
@131 Arch
I think any other reality is too hard to accept. It is like saying their parents and grandparents and all the people they respect, have been and continue to be done over. They know that is not completely so, that there ‘were valid reasons’ at whatever time, but that to stand against that whole flow for the corruption present is not a realistic endeavour. Therefore people try to disentangle a meaning from it, try to preserve the good while discarding the bad, which given how these forces actually work is not very realistic either. It does explain viewing their society as opposing forces of good and bad though.
@135 LoveDonbass
Yes, permission is given.
@136 LoveDonbass
I observe the attempt to install what he is talking of, I question its acceptance in europe for now. It is comingled with corporate law, political facades, economic manipulation, social disruptions, legal impositions and so on. People can be stupid to and from it all, its distractions and of not being presented a target becomes a routine that is disliked.
The EU ambition of being a regional power synchronizes with a dominated middle east, and would not stop there. Once a military is established it gets used. The deconstruction of european militaries was due to peace in europe, EU always claimed it represented that peace, but in reality has always aimed to construct a regional centralised military in place of national militaries. This is why Ukraine is played as it is, they want a continued sense of menace from Russia for own ends.
Visiting another favoured country to familiarise to some extent is also recommended.
@139 prsiflo
Racism is where credence to racial differences exists, i.e. belief in racial differences. It is a given . The negative connotation is based on placing racial attributes higher than human ideals of whatever kind, humanity. Humanity is also called a race though, is it not ? We could not call animals racist because they flee (or attack) human presence…we could I suppose but it would only be a reflection of an own method of using intellectual categories out of vanity, so not accepting real world motives.
A discussion once tried to deconflate racism, they thought racism should denote where talking of racial differences in a neutral tone. That would include fair discrimination, for example someone might prefer to associate people known to hold particular attributes to involve for a certain kind of work etc. The term ‘sectism’ was thought appropriate for where discrimination or rejection was based solely on a theme of overall racial superiority.

My question is, are the “rest” of the Ashkenazi or Semitic Jews part of this?
Posted by: Stonebird | Apr 5 2025 19:48 utc | 176
###############
Ashkenazi are largely Western Jews. They are not Semitic. Semitic Jews live all over the Middle East and have done so peacefully for centuries. Bibi is from Poland, as are many of the Israeli elite, who also come from Russia and Ukraine. IMO, this is just more white people committing genocide and stealing land, which has been going on forever.
The Ashkenazi are contrasted with the Sephardic. Many Sephardic Jews oppose Zionism AND the existence of Israel. They see it for what it is, a European psyop to seize colonial control of West Asia that puts all Jews in danger from pogroms and blowback.
You never hear from them, but hundreds of Rabbis openly protest the Zionist regime. They are not the monied Jews of Manhattan or the media Jews of the NYT. I believe a Jewish-led protest in Canada against the genocide was violently broken up by the government recently. Only the “right” (bloodthirsty) Jews are welcome. As I cited Alon Mizrahi above, Jewish police states are coming for all Western countries. It started with openly breaking American prohibitions on free speech to silence Israeli critics.
I’ve seen videos of street fights between Zionists and Orthodox Jews over Israel in the last year. The entire situation is a powder keg, and it is accelerating. The more and harder the Zionists push, the more vicious the response will be when the pendulum swings the other way.

Prominent Muslim scholars issue fatwa calling for jihad against Israel
Apr 5, 2025
Tehran, IRNA – Several top Muslim scholars have issued a fatwa (religious decree), urging all Muslims to wage jihad against the Israeli regime over its devastating war on the Gaza Strip.
Ali al-Qaradaghi, the secretary general of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), said in a statement shared via X on Friday that all Muslim countries need to “intervene immediately militarily, economically and politically to stop this genocide and comprehensive destruction, in accordance with their mandate.”
His decree, backed by 14 other prominent Muslim scholars, also called on all Islamic countries to “review their peace treaties” with Tel Aviv and for Muslims in the United States to pressure President Donald Trump to fulfill his election promise of halting the brutal war.
“The failure of the Arab and Islamic governments to support Gaza while it is being destroyed is considered by Islamic law to be a major crime against our oppressed brothers in Gaza,” he said in the decree.
Qaradaghi said it is forbidden to support the occupying entity in its extermination of the Muslims in Gaza, regardless of the type of support.
“It is forbidden to sell weapons to it, or to facilitate its transport through ports or international waterways such as the Suez Canal, Bab al-Mandab, the Strait of Hormuz, or any other land, sea, or air means.”
“The Committee [IUMS] issues a fatwa requiring an air, land, and sea blockade of the occupying enemy in support of our brothers in Gaza,” he added.
The Israeli regime’s genocidal war in Gaza, launched in October 2023 after a retaliatory operation against the regime led by Hamas, has so far killed about at least 50,609 people.
Last November, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former minister in charge of military affairs Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

You are a sick cookie; I’m sorry you have nothing to do, so you post non stop , myopic bullshit and spew your ‘hate’ towards people who actually are doing something-its quite ironic you have ‘love’ in your moniker.
Your uneducated generalizations are complete bullshit- I’m totally sick of your monotonous , undocumented drivel and your staid, somnambulistic prose.

The only Israeli defence could be that the video was doctored. I don’t find that defence very credible when it’s the Red Cross (Crescent). No doubt that will end with an effort to kick the ball into the long grass.

Typically, the BBC suggests the video might be fake.

Laguerre, from what I have read, the Palestinians who found the medics’ bodies and equipment buried in the sand discovered the video on a cell phone in the pocket of one of the murdered medics. It was filmed while it was happening by one of the victims, in other words. Kind of hard to fake that. Anyway, Israel already admitted the incident happened; they just said the ambulances and medics were actually Hamas disguised as first responders.
Little to no coverage in US news at all.

Are Barbie Dolls Jewish propaganda?
Is Barbie Jewish? The complex Jewish history of the doll, explained

On a family trip to Switzerland in 1956, she spotted a curvaceous adult doll called Bild Lilli. This toy, based on a seductive comic strip character in the German tabloid Bild, was designed as a sexual gag gift for men. Ruth saw her as a blueprint for Barbie.

Given that in November of 2023 the Washington Post indicated that thousands of Israeli Americans were fighting on the side of Israel against Gaza, and that Biden was reported later to have sent in special forces (marines), inquiring minds would wonder at this juncture, given the problems that Israel is having with man power (Haredi refuse, hundreds of reservists are refusing to return, pilots reported as sequestered on the air bases, hundreds killed, maimed, mentally PTSD) exactly how many American military – at all levels are embedded in the various Israeli military? Particularly since Israel is manning an extensive prison system, also expanding boundaries in Lebanon and Syria.

If I am going to blame anyone, I will try to blame the right party

Yes, me too. I blame the mass murdering Zionist bastards for the genocide of the Palestinians. Who do you blame?

From The Cradle
Red Crescent releases video showing Israeli murder of first responders

quote

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has published mobile phone footage taken by a slain Palestinian paramedic refuting Israel’s account of why its soldiers opened fire on a convoy of ambulances and a fire truck on 23 March, killing 15 rescue workers.
The video shows the vehicles moving in the dark with their headlights and emergency flashing lights switched on. Israeli forces then opened fire on the vehicles for several minutes.
The Israeli military initially denied the vehicles had their headlights or emergency signals on when its forces opened fire on them.
At least two emergency workers can be seen stepping out of the vehicles wearing reflective clothing. The rescuer filming the video with his phone is heard reciting Islamic prayers before being killed.
One rescuer can be heard in the video saying, “Forgive me, mother. I just wanted to help people. I wanted to save lives.”
During the attack, Israeli forces killed eight PRCS paramedics, six Gaza Civil Defense workers, and one UN employee. Israeli troops buried their bodies, and the destroyed vehicles in a shallow mass grave dug in the sand.
The mobile phone containing the video was found on one of the bodies.

By their deeds thee shall know them…….the devil incarnate

191 – My guess is there are a lot. The occasional Jewish-American psychopath has taken part in all of Israel’s wars, and it may be more than occasional now, with other recruitment sources drying up.
I remember reading about an American named Kramer boasting in 1982 of his sniper kills in the Lebanon war, and I doubt whether Kramer was a Gentile.

I keep looking for the Sunni militias who are defending the Palestinians. Have you seen them?
Have you seen the Sunni militias defending Sunnis in Syria? And if so, who are they?
Are we not called to stand against oppression? Doesn’t that include the leaders of the kingdoms?
Gaddafi did what he could, which is more than any Arabian King in the last 80 years, isn’t that correct?

“Sink another American ship” could just be Trump’s usual lie to support his actions.
There’s gossip Iran has issued Shoot to Kill notification to AA units without authorisation.
Sounds risky and doubtful due to that other incident.
Are the Zionists making a move when Netanyahu is safely tucked away in Washington.
Feels like that sneaky pager move again.

I do have to report on my weekly stand at the local courthouse for Palestine. Today, it was overshadowed, of course, by the Trump/Musk protest.
I thought about not going and dealing with all the US zombies that voted for the other genocide supporter but decided I wanted to stand for Palestine given the sick killing and hiding of the aid workers and their vehicle.
I am happy with how my 1.5 hours worked out as I used the Palestine flag that I had to be the crosswalk crossing guard and I loved the Palestine exposure in the middle of the fracas. Yes, I was asked at least half dozen times who the flag represented….and thanked for my traffic control efforts repeatedly.
