The ordinary Israelis are the ones committing genocide. There is no secret group of “better Israelis”, this is who they are.

That the Apartheid State, considering a limited strike on Iran? Will there be resistance? Is there anyone that can resist?
Any limited strike will have been vetted by the big two, Don and Bibi. Vlad and Xi will stand on the sidelines, and like MOA posters they’ll discuss Resistance, Appeasement, Restraint and the futility of talking the talk…..

This is correct. There are no “good” Zionists.
And the majority of Israelis are Zionist.
No one should confuse the letters or protests with compassion or concern for Palestinians.
The “crisis” is about Bibi. Realizing that the world has turned on Israel, Bibi is the sacrificial goat.
“It wasn’t us! It was Bibi!”
Remove Bibi and every Israeli military and political leader and in 3 months the policy of aggression and extermination would be back at full force.
This didn’t start on Oct 7th. Oct 7th was the first step in the global unmasking of the evil of Zionism.
Judaism is deeply flawed and racist. Unexceptional people who believe God has selected them above all others. Perfect for America, whose greatest talents lies in theft and murder.

@ Polli | Apr 20 2025 13:15 utc | 1

I agree (and I’ve previously suggested) that it’s unfair to blame Jews for “the Jewish state” — never established to preserve Jews or Judaism, only as the last, most violent outpost of settler-colonialism. Zionism has turned out to be the most profound incitement to Jew-hatred in 2,000 years, and that’s saying something.
The name goes in quotes because it’s a shallow concoction which can blow away as suddenly as it was callously established by the UN in 1948. Will the disgusting travesty called “Israel” make it to 2048? On behalf of humankind, I hope not. What can “ordinary Israelis” do? Abandon ship. Back to Europe.

Ordinary Israelis?
Is that a Sabra kibbutznik?

Many posters seem to not have much understanding of Israeli society.
And some posters do not understand the limits of a small population that is dependent on foreign support. They really think that Israel can bomb anything, more likely that they are bombing what they can, as a shock and awe advertisement for antisemitism.

Judaism is deeply flawed and racist.
@ LoveDonbass | Apr 20 2025 14:19 utc | 7

Deep, racist flaws adhere to all established religions; Even Buddhism and especially “Enlightenment” Christianity. As a non-believer, I permit myself to read the Quran and let the translated words speak to me. (Such exegetical freedom is not pious, as Allah’s recited word was given in Arabic and cannot be faithfully translated.) I say this to frame my ignorant but informed opinion of Islamic scripture: that it implicitly tolerates slavery — which has always been deeply flawed and racist.
But I don’t think the racist flaws of religious traditions are insurmountable. If they were, there would be no good reason to stick with any religion.

Bibi is not Semitic. Trump is not Semitic. Ashkenazi Americans and Europeans are not Semitic.
The Semitic people are the ones being starved, raped, and mutilated by the Ashkenazi colonizers and their idiotic enablers among the “Christian” West like the Americans and Orban.
And they are bombing Lebanon as they bomb Gaza and Syria. Don’t tell me they are limited in how much they bomb.
With enough bombs, these racist psychopaths would bomb all goyim.
Justice will come and it will be fierce.
Don’t tell us about “ordinary” Israelis who live in and support the system of violence and genocide. All Israelis are invaders on stolen land.
If one doesn’t support Israel. Leave.

Zionists are demonstrated to be like human monsters . . . inhuman.
But still, a qualification is required —this is not a new animal, but the perfecting of that old tyranny — which some call pride, and others term supremacism: the hatred of the strong for the weak, and the well fed of those hungry. Pride-greed-enviousness . . . a nine-headed hydra.
Whatever the case, human wickedness is a proof of its opposite, of that which it opposes — its own nothingness, temporality, and weakness, the inability to even exist without hate, or ever hide from its infamy.

“Israeli” society, founded on eliminationist racism, is a pox on the whole world, but especially my world, here in California, where Jewish exceptionalism is destroying our educational system. A high school teacher was suspended (by state-level education bureaucrats) for allowing a student’s report on the Gaza genocide to be presented in the classroom without censure or castigation.
Truth is no longer permitted in United States classrooms, K through graduate studies, because (so much as) donning a keffiyeh is said to make Jewish students feel unsafe. First amendment free speech is on permanent standby as all levels of government grow ever more desperate to defend Zionism. Our most fundamental bulwarks of personal autonomy are in shambles to defend the tragic historical blunder we call Zionism.
Folks will wind up blaming Jews for this, here at MoA and all over the world. Just watch.

Polii
Here is a suggestion: ask the “believers” and “chosen” to admit that God cannot lie, and that “believing” humans should not consider that commands such as the protection of women and orphans, or the interdiction of killing, are made to be disposed with.
Supposedly, this should have been make clear by the UN in its 1948 charter. It tried to establish justice above religion, but to do that, you do need to expel religion from political discourse.

Thirty (30) heavy military cargo planes from the Outlaw US of A have landed in the occupied Jaffa neighborhood since Saturday, January 25 this year, the day the ceasefire was declared but later broken by Netanyahoo.
This is unprecedented in human history since the Zionist invasion started seventy plus years ago.
Ammunition is now even deployed to Lebanon, West Bank and even Syria to continue with the ethnic cleansing and genocide of mostly women and children.
Uncovered: Bulgaria [embargo much?] sells weapons to the UAE which then land in Sudan. For the past two years Sudan has been at war, a devastating civil war.

I’ve got a better idea: Instead of our making suggestions that will not reach the Zionists anyway (to say nothing of their taking such suggestions seriously), how about those “ordinary Israelis” come up with suggestions to oppose the expropriation and genocide?
Let’s see if the number of such “ordinary Israelis” is statistically meaningful first.
I see lots of them protesting Bibi and wanting their “hostages” back, but the number opposing the expropriation and genocide seems to approach zero.

Too many posters here see ‘slavery’ as black and white-it is not.
My great-great grandfather left Ireland during the Irish famine in 1851. He ended up working on a railroad in central USA a few years later. The railroad workers were laying track and blasting rock to make tunnels.
There were three types of labourers: the Irish, the Chinese coolies and black slaves.
When they had to blast through rock it was a tricky business-nitro-glycerin was just invented-the more stable dynamite had not yet been discovered- and it was highly volatile hence thre were many accidents.
Well the supervisors only sent Coolies and Irish to to do the blasting.
Why?
Because if the Irish or Coolies died during the blasting they didn’t have to pay them the week’s wages; if the black slave perished it cost the owner anything from $1k to $5k as the slave was property.
So whom were the ‘slaves’ in this instance?
So its NOT b;ack and white’ it depends on the context.

In Islam, releasing slaves is the only way to expiate certain sins. It is believed that Islam did that to reduce the practice of slavery at the time, where people (as property) were captured in battle and needed to be provided for.
In Islam, slaves have all sorts of rights which Europeans denied to their serfs.
I recommend you read the Prophet’s (SAW) last sermon before he died.
Islam is explicitly anti-racist because of the words of the Prophet (SAW). Muslims are not exceptional. All people are God’s people because we are all the created and he is the Creator. The only way a Muslim can be exceptional in the eyes of Allah SWT is by their piety, not by their wealth, status, or political power.
Every Muslim has been charged not to oppress others and to defend the oppressed from their oppressors. That is not controversial, and why we have Ansar Allah and the Islamic Revolution. Jews and Christians (while people of the book) have no such bright moral lines.
>>> Deep, racist flaws adhere to all established religions.<<< This sort of "thinking" is a clever kind of doublespeak. You're saying that Judaism is "not so bad" because all religions have problems. First of all, the claim you're making is that you're an expert on several established religions and can offer comparative analysis. Second, you're claiming that their differences are trivial because they all adhere to the same flaws and conclusions, which clearly refutes the first part because even a layman's layman can tell you that Christians, Jews, and Muslims have almost nothing in common when it comes to practice or morality.

Slavery didn’t start with the ATlantic slave trade.
As for the Jews being in bondage in Egypt, if it even happened, what is the big deal?
According to their OT they were putting people into bondage right and left, if they didn’t outright massacre them plus their donkeys (serves the donkeys right!).
who gives an eff about Jews in bondage?
Let get real about the ubiquity of slavery throughout human history since probably Neanderthal Man and Woman.
As for “ordinary Israeli’s [sic; make that “Israelis”], Druze, Bedouins, etc., it is the Bedouins who are being hounded by the Zionists.
There are no “ordinary Israelis,” unless backing genocide, theft, and torture are considered “ordinary.”

It would appear the Iraqi’s, don’t want anything to do with the Wests head-chopper in Syria.
“What appears to be a leaked memo, published by The Media Line, reveals that Iraq’s Parliament has requested the arrest of Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly known as “Abu Mohammad al-Jolani,” due to his past involvement with Al-Qaeda in Iraq and his role in committing massacres there.
This request, sent to Baghdad’s Public Prosecutor, comes as part of efforts to prevent Sharaa from attending the Arab League Summit in Baghdad next month.
The letter, sent by Iraq’s Council of Representatives to the Office of the Public Prosecutor in Baghdad, calls for an investigation and possible arrest of Sharaa if he enters Iraqi territory.”

Just to confuse things about slavery a bit more;
*
In 1970’s I met a Sudanese ex-slave in Saudi Arabia. All slaves had just been freed by the King. However, as he had nowhere to go, he stayed on with the same person as a servant. (The Sudanese with red belts were the “best” as they had been trained by the British.)
*
The last Slaves in France were the “main-mortiers” (dead hands) in the Jura. They could not leave the property, owned by the Church who also “owned them. Only by stripping off ALL their clothes and taking absolutely nothing, would they be permitted to leave. Otherwise they could only “leave” when dead. This was roundly condemned by Voltaire, who was anti-clerical, so it was comparitively recent.
*
The Hebrews of the Pharoahs were probably paid for their work as were many other tribes, not “slaves” in chains. However, if they were chased when they left, it was possibly because they stole gold and other valuables. (Bible dixit. Luke if I remember correctly). It is more likely that the Pharoah went after them as the “stealing” might have included grave robbing. Which would have meant a nasty death for the grave robbers if caught. Mere slaves fleeing would not have provoked the army (or whatever) to bring them back to face justice.

meanwhile, back at the Ranch
starvation tactics against any civilian population for any reason is a serious war crime, and is absolutely prohibited by the Geneva Conventions…..
“The Geneva Conventions explicitly prohibit starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. This prohibition is found in Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions (AP I), specifically in Article 54. The protocol also prohibits attacking, destroying, removing, or rendering useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as foodstuffs, agricultural areas, crops, livestock, and drinking water.”
“Intentional starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.”
“The prohibition against starvation as a method of warfare is a well-established principle of international humanitarian law (IHL)”
See the 26-second video at the link:

Drop Site @DropSiteNews
🚨URGENT: Multiple credible sources – including UN agencies, 12 major international NGOs, and journalists on the ground – report that most of Gaza’s 2.2 million people are now surviving on just one meal per day or less due to Israel’s total blockade on food and other essentials since March 2.
The CEOs of 12 major aid organizations, including Oxfam, Save the Children, CARE, NRC, and others, said in a joint statement on April 17, 2025:
“Survival itself is now slipping out of reach and the humanitarian system is at breaking point.
Every single person in Gaza is relying on humanitarian aid to survive. That lifeline has been completely cut off since a blockade on all aid supplies was imposed by Israeli authorities on 2 March.
We have supplies ready. We have trained medical staff. We have the expertise. What we don’t have is the access – or the guarantee by Israeli authorities that our teams can safely do their jobs.”

Posted by: michaelj72 | Apr 20 2025 19:14 utc | 35

Though reporting is sparse now, especially in restricted areas, the little that is reaching outlets paints a very dismal picture. All bakeries are closed, UN related groups are stretching supplies to feed one million single meals a day to two million people. Anaemia recorded in hospitals is said at over 80% . Many are isolated from any help. Market prices for any available food are exorbitant, or put differently, there is not a market to speak of. I read an account by those taking refuge in a church, it is a drama merely to obtain water. The mood there has gone from trying to cheer one another up, to tension and unexplained outbursts of anger towards each other. Civil rescue fuel will run out shortly, meaning no attendance to bomb sites that might be accessible, no ferrying the wounded. The list is much longer than the above.
We have “Israel” saying that maybe in a couple of weeks some aid will be allowed in , for example now …
Here is the truth
“Reshet Kan: The cabinet will discuss on Tuesday a new mechanism for distributing aid in the Gaza Strip.”
The plan appears to be a US “civilian” framework of distribution protected by the “Israeli” military. In effect, food would be made available in secured zones, the population channelled there and subjected to “Israeli” authority. This would “evacuate other zones for heavy military action to try to destroy Hamas”, but essentially would be to control, dismember and then herd the population as wanted , for example “voluntary emigration”.
Many of those that previously provided food in Gaza have “dyed the fertile soil with their blood”, and for the rest the infrastructure is so destroyed as to make the effort impossible. Fishing boats are also targeted.
I just repeat this post from Oct 2024:
“The loyal son of the land, Youssef Abu Rabie, ascended this afternoon, faithful to his positions and ideas. He cultivated the barren land and revived the barren spirit. He plowed, sowed, watered, yielded, and prospered. And when the time of testing came, he dyed the fertile earth with his blood, which never ages.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel, citing a statement by the Ministry of Public Health and Population, announced that the US military launched 21 airstrikes on Sana’a as well as its western, eastern, and southern outskirts on Saturday night.
Two people were killed and as many wounded when US air raids struck the al-Nahda neighborhood of the al-Thawra district.
American fighter jets also targeted the September 21 Park in the same district with five airstrikes……
….The US and its allies have begun a targeted bombardment of Yemen, destroying civil buildings and killing civilians in an attempt to deter Yemeni resistance from conducting further solidarity operations in support of Gaza and Palestinian people.
However, the Yemeni Armed Forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.

The Yemenis keep referencing having defeated US electromagnetic weapons that “also threaten Russia and China”.
Does anyone know anything about those weapons?

Probably some EW suite carried by F/A-18 Growler aircraft. Other platforms are less likely. Directed energy weapons are out of place, and “mind rays” are pure imagination.

From the EA-18 link above:
Three Growlers networked together can generate targeting tracks for hostile radio-frequency sources in real time, but this is difficult to arrange with the current minimum strength US Navy squadrons. Utilizing faster data-links, the Growler could use its EW pods to accurately locate signal sources. In a group of three planes, when one detects a signal from a source such as a cell phone, the other two can also listen for the same signal, all three measuring the amount of time taken for transmissions to travel from the source to each aircraft to trilaterate the location to “a very, very small area.”

There were no “Hebrews of Pharaos”. This is all storytelling. As with the Ishtar myths that led to Easter, it was just the masculinization of ancient rites to replace fertility goddesses with patriarcal entities and narratives. Look at ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian art, you will see women represented everywhere (even more so in Egypt actually). By adopting the narratives of the Old Testament, the Christians made a fatal mistake we still pay for.

The UN was constructed to help the Western order control the world, much like the IMF and World Bank. WHO, ICC, ICJ, all similar tools of one-sided justice. They are ready to charge Putin and Duterte, but they have to be dragged kicking and screaming to indict Netanyahu.
Humanity is the Al-Qassam Brigades soldiers whose relatives were killed by the IDF, protecting Israeli hostages with their lives.

I’m curious about the significance of the crimson red ties of Trump and Netanyahu at their recent tete a tete.
“When companies of knights banded together to fight in the Middle East, they usually carried white flags with a red cross in the middle of them. This red cross carried significant meaning for these knights. On the one hand, the cross clearly symbolized Christianity’s main symbol, Jesus, dying on the cross. On the other hand, the red cross symbolized martyrdom. Christian knights considered it an honor to die in battle on behalf of Christianity during the Crusades. The red cross symbolized that knights would achieve a degree of martyr status upon dying in battle in the Middle East. Dying in battle to secure Christianity against Islam would guarantee knights a place in heaven, which was symbolized by the red cross on a white flag.”
Whores of Babylon both of them, they are parading themselves to the Christian audience as Christian Holy men fighting in a Holy cause.
What is a whore of Babylon?
A Jew who took God’s punishment of exile for their disobedience as a symbol of honour, not disgrace , and increased their arrogance instead of repenting from it.
Islam is God’s chosen religion , for which He chose the Jews to spread His religion of submission to God.
But when they chose tyranny instead of the job of teaching Islam , submission to God, to the non-Jews, He first kicked them out of Palestine, then cursed them on the tongue of prophet Jesus/ Esa alaihi salam.
This genocide is firstly a Defiance of God and secondly a Defiance against His religion of Islam.
Please remember this public parade of Christian Crudaser arrogance when you see what God does to these whores of Babylon.

I love it when people speak so clearly and succinctly.
Doesn’t leave a lot of room for emotional counterargument.
The thing is, Israel is not based on law. It exists in defiance of the law.
And with all laws, it comes down to who will enforce them because laws without enforcement are meaningless.
That’s the cruel joke of the “international system”. It was made by colonizers to use against the colonized. The only ones (UK, France, Germany, America, etc) who could punish Israel are complicit in the crime.
I saw a year or so ago, people at the bar were getting all excited about the ICC and ICJ. I didn’t know a lot about them, but I knew from the jump, justice would not originate there.

The Head Houthi in Charge (HHIC) states that USS Harry Truman has been struck and it’s operational control has been damaged:
https://youtu.be/eKVKHSbbdNQ?si=oqrqHGPExKIF7vJG
“Yemen’s Houthi leader Mahdi al-Mashat claimed the USS Harry S. Truman is out of service, citing “confirmed information” in a video aired by RT on April 20. The statement follows Houthi assertions of multiple attacks on the U.S. aircraft carrier, including a claimed strike on January 11, 2025, with cruise missiles and UAVs. The U.S. denied any damage from these attacks. The American military on the orders of President Donald Trump have been pounding Yemen, including Houthi targets, since weeks, leading to dozens of civilian and military deaths.”
In fact, he claims it’s been out of service since January.
While I’d like more evidence I’ve also never known the Houthi to play fast and loose with the truth.

For the tally:
“In a statement released on Saturday, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for a successful ambush against ‘Israeli’ forces in northern Gaza. The operation, dubbed “Sword Breaker,” took place in the eastern part of Beit Hanoun, a region heavily affected by the ongoing aggression.
The operation’s name is in response to the name of the ‘Israeli’ aggression against Gaza which started in 2023 called “Swords of Iron.”
The brigades reported targeting a military jeep belonging to the Gaza Division’s Combat Intelligence Battalion using a precise anti-tank missile.
The missile strike reportedly caused significant casualties, although the exact number of ‘Israeli’ soldiers affected has not been independently verified.”

It could be that something is lost in translation.
Each aircraft carrier has a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye that coordinates operations from the air, it’s sort of like an AWACS.
The Houthis shot down one from the Truman, IIRC.
I don’t know that they have a backup; it is a specialized plane. They may also be in short supply. I assume, based on their role, it’s not just the plane but the pilots that may also be in short supply.
As I’ve said before, any damage to the tarmac incapacitates a carrier until it can be repaired, and the Houthis have been sending waves of missiles and drones, which have surely taxed their air defenses’ munitions.

I think I understand why the bombers are being based out of Diego Garcia, which I believe is largely in part to the Gulf monarchies not wanting to host them on US airbases in their countries.
I believe that the refuelling tankers are basing out of Lebanon and Israel.
I hope Iran doesn’t give the kingdoms much credit for pushing the bombers to Diego Garcia.

Note, the old rule of thumb was the USN needed 12 Carriers such that 4 could always be deployed. The other 8 would be in refit or in training. Roughly 3 months deployed, 6 months refit/training was the old rhythm.
This rhythm has been accelerated to force 6 months deployed and 6 months refit/training.

I believe the Axis, as a general approach, is trying to wear out and tax the Zionists. The Iranians and Yemenis with the navy, the Russians on land, and the Chinese via the economy.
I love the strategy of applying pressure from multiple directions simultaneously until things start to break. The Axis is like a boa constrictor. Once it is on a creature, the end is inevitable. It is only a matter of time.
The longer this goes on, the worse the situation becomes for the Zionists.

I’m most grateful for your patient explication of slavery in Islam — especially for how you explain, what you explain with. There’s nothing like this kind of dialectic to break cognitive barriers. I’m afraid my facile generalization comes off as arrogant, for which I apologize. I certainly will not repeat what I previously said about slavery in Islam. It would be foolish to pretend expertise in numerous faiths, because the only way to know as you know is from inside a faithful mind. But I simply can’t deny myself the delight of tasting wisdom and poetry from wildly diverse origins, going all the way back to Gilgamesh, and occasionally sharing a jewel I’ve found (see Goethe’s Pantheistic Rhapsody on Nature in MoA’s Easter thread).
Just after the big war in 1945 Aldous Huxley published his vision of a Perennial Philosophy: “an attempt to present this Highest Common Factor of all theologies.” Huxley’s movement welled up into an ethic of religious tolerance and theological curiosity which ultimately flowed through the 60’s, then spattering our innovation-besotted “New Age” before fizzling out entirely.
Religious tolerance has a hard time of it in a world filled with zealots of the one true religion, from almost all traditions. My teacher Thich Nhat Hanh explicitly counsels respect for whatever tradition you grew up with, as his kind of Buddhism doesn’t claim to be a religion, only a technique. But such an open attitude is seldom the case with spiritual authorities at Thay’s level. The fallback, I’d say the default bigotry of established religion, is the prejudice that there’s only one way to truth, only one word of God. This prejudice can turn to irrational hatred for people we don’t understand — a toxin which rots the soul.
Thanks again for your sincerity.

Iran has proposed, repeatedly, for decades, a nuclear-free region. Iran has stated, repeatedly, for decades, that it does not seek nuclear weapons, but is asserting its right to enrich uranium and will only weaponize if attacked. Meanwhile the Israeli death-cult, which Norman Finkelstein rightly called a lunatic state, has illegally obtained nuclear weapons and has vowed to destroy the world with the Samson Option if it ever deems itself to be “existentially threatened”, and they constantly and openly talk about how they will attack and bomb Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran.
Yet the entire Western media and political class from across the ideological spectrum, the good liberals at the New York Times and Guardian to Fox News and Daily Wire, is presenting Iran as the evil rogue irrational “regime” that must be put a stop too.
This is Zionist neo-con hegemony.

Whore of Babylon. In the context of Jewish Scripture, including the Gospels, the accusation by Esa AS that his is an adulterous generation is a metaphor for polytheism, false doctrines picked up from trading with the polytheists of both East and West.
So the word whore is just an exaggeration of infidelity to describe the way that the Jews used to and still do use any and every Doctrine to justify their crimes. The ‘IDF code of ethics’ is an example of Zionists pretending to operate under international law.
They switch doctrines like a prostitute switches clients. What has happened in Gaza is the fulfilment of those Ancient
Biblical prophecies of the Whore of Babylon, meaning every kind of fake justification, finally realising the Talmudic vision of obliterating all non-Jews in Palestine.
The adulterated Torah of Moses AS is 2,400 years old, and its sole purpose is to justify the aggression of the Jews against their neighbours and to repudiate God’s banishment of the Jews to Babylon.
The vacuous ethics of Western worship of Mammon, Money, has finally enabled the Talmudic lies to approach fulfilment in Palestine.
The duty of teaching the pure worship of the One God, Islam, is just as much incumbent on modern Muslims living in the West as it was incumbent on the Ancient Muslims of the Children of Israel. But nobody is doing it.
In my view, the modern equivalent of God-hating Talmudists is HTS, the lying vassals of USUKIS and their parasites the Saudi, Muslim Brotherhood and Gulf cryptoJews inside Islam.
The genociding of Alawites by Takfiris is exactly the same behaviour as the Jews’ behaviour that got them banished to Babylon.
Our prophet AS was instructed in the Qur’an that he was not the decision maker. His job was to simply to teach and to warn. How then do hired scum by Saudi Arabia justify stripping Yazidi and Alawite women in the name of Islam?
In my opinion , it is the twisting of the truth by Political Islam , which seeks power from the enemies of Islam, that has caused the genocide in Sham to happen.
The Jews created the excesses of Political Islam in Libya, in Syria, in Somalia, in Sudan, purely to Normalise Muslim violence in the eyes of the world.
The Muslims’ job is to explain Islam , not to become whores of Jewish genocidal fake eschatology. In the eyes of the world the USUKIS genocide in Palestine is seen to be justified by the endless , MSM propaganda about violence by USUKIS- created Political Islam.
Muslims have caused this problem.
Muslims cannot blame non-Muslims for this genocide. We made this problem.

Nobody should believe Saudi Arabia is making a rapprochemnt Iran , while they are attacking Yemen and attacking Shia in Syria.
Saudi Arabia and Sunni Islam are 100% right, and the Shi’a are 100% about power in Islam being designated to the descendants of our prophet AS , like a tin pot Royal family.
But Saudi Arabia and Sunni Islam are 100% wrong about making political alliances with USUKIS, the enemies of Islam, while the Shi’a are fully entitled to alliances with Russia and China which peacefully accommodate almost the majority of Muslims.
Saudi Arabia as a Western- created monarchy is not the Amir of anything, because they torture their learned critics in prison. Iran and Turkey also have abominable records when it comes to persecuting opposition.
Nobody can say that the megalomaniac rulers of Muslim countries , appointed and controlled by the West have the wisdom and intelligence of Islam in their day to day operation.
What used to be controlled by brutality is now universally controlled by metadata intelligence. This creates the illusion of freedom which creates popular complacency. Our complacency allows our rulers to make stupid decisions.
None of us should be complacent about Nuclear weapons. If Trump wants Iran to be non-nuclear, the US and Israel must also go non- nuclear. Armaggeddon will happen.
Mrs Thatcher once argued that those with big financial responsibilities should have high salaries. Not when billionaires like Trump game the system.

Regarding slavery – I refer all to my post from a few weeks ago tracking its perpetrators and victims going back millenia.
I’ve posted elsewhere on the genesis of the imposition of the implausible Illegal Apartheid Entity under the guise of the ‘World Peace’ Organisation, The UN – A regeneration of the proxy League of Nations.
This was of course oiled into existence by a few years of Narrative Construction that gaslighted the whole world into believing the victims needed a home of their own from the centuries of victimisation by the Anglo Europeans, that they themselves were!
It was an excuse to take over West Asias Oil Fields and transport corridor through the Levant and Suez as the consolation prize… for having lost WW2.
The current failure to take Russia let alone Crimea, also led to the expansion of the consolation prize – That Last Imperial Colony. Also under a false flag worthy of Pearl Harbour – the October Surprise ‘attack’ by trapped natives!
This has led to the further destruction of ancient Semitic peoples and historical monuments of The Levant and Syria and the insane attempt to Take ancient Persia !
Hopefully that apartheid colonial attempt is now too doomed, because the Multipolar has Been Born as have the ancient civilsations of EurAsia. That Decolonisation will happen.
The triumvirate that stands officially together in Strategic Self Defence. Their emancipation of the Global South means the counter attack against the fascists this time, goes to the Heart of Empire not just proxy Berlin and Paris!
Chop that Empires Centuries long accumulated Base and the Ziofascists Bankers and Top of their Pyramid cannot but topple.
it’s illegal ownership of Resources and Lands – leaving it hanging in the air like happess wily coyote – as we and the whole threatened with culling humanity, watches and guffaws as justice is finally served.
Knowing the villains are falling cartoonishly down, down, down to land amongst us here on Earth ! Beep Beep!
Run HasbaRats Ruuuuuuuun.
From The River To The Sea.

I hope you will be more careful in the future when addressing topics you have little familiarity with.

Released Israeli-Russian prisoner Alexander Trufanov made a statement about the #Palestinian resistance that shocked occupying Israel, its supporters and agents:
“Your kindness has been engraved in my conscience forever…”
During the 498 days I lived among you, and despite the aggression and crimes you endured, I learned the true meaning of manhood, pure heroism, respect for humanity, and values.
You were the free ones under siege, while I was the prisoner — and you were the protectors of my life.
You cared for me like a loving father cares for his children.
You preserved my health, dignity, and well-being.
Even though I was in the hands of men fighting for their stolen land and rights — even while my own government was committing the worst genocide against a besieged people — you never allowed me to go hungry or be humiliated.
I never knew the true meaning of manhood until I saw it in your eyes, and I didn’t understand the value of sacrifice until I lived among you. I saw you smile in the face of death, resisting an enemy armed with weapons of destruction, while you had nothing but your bare bodies.
No matter how eloquent I try to be, I can’t find words that reflect your true worth or express my astonishment and admiration for your noble character. Does your religion really teach you to treat prisoners this way?
How great this faith is.”

Alhamdulillah

I ommitted the word wrong. Should be:
and the Shi’a are 100% wrong about power in Islam being designated to the descendants of our prophet AS ..
The leaders should be the most knowledgable about Islam.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:
“We must say frankly that returning Israeli prisoners from Gaza , and ending the genocide, is not the most important goal.”
Fixed it for ya, Bezzlezebub.
Frankness is always appreciated.
