As has undoubtedly been said many time before…five years from now Everyone will claim (even to themselves) that they were always against the Gaza Holocaust.
You will be hard pressed to find someone openly speaking in support of the Gaza Holocaust five years from now.
It will be too much for the conscience to bear – that they supported Genocide.
People will tell the lie about their stance so many times that they will develop false memories and believe their denial themselves.

Continuing with the new Palestine Resistance Tally for 2025:
IDF Casualty Tally as of Monday 12/05/2025:
– Merkava: 8 destroyed (+3 hit with Yaseen-105), n/a approximate damaged, +2 targeted (ambush near the al-Zahraa Mosque in Rafah), +2 in ambush near Al-Farahin area, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
– Narmer (a Merkava without a turret): 1 (+1 in column ambush near Rafah)
– Other Armoured Vehicle: 3 (+3 humvees destroyed in Rafah ambush)
– Officers: ~ 63 (+8, +1 commander in Rafah ambush, +2 named officers in attack on Shujaiya (Captain Ido Voloch, Sergeant Yitzakh Kahane), +8 from a building demolition by IED in Shujaiya), +7 from tunnel IED ambush near the al-Zahraa Mosque in Rafah (4 May 2025). +5 (estimate) from ambush on Engineer Unit near Al-Farahin area, east of Khan Younis. +2: Captain Noam Ravid (23) and Sergeant Yaly Seror (20) in tunnel blast against Yahalom unit in South Rafah.
– Bulldozers: 7 destroyed (+1 in ambush near Al-Farahin area, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza)
– Weapons Trucks: +1 ( 1 x Amalisia Military Truck in Rafah Ambush)
– Missile/Drone Strikes on Israel: 11 (+3 from Yemen on Ben Gurion)
– Fighter Jets (as of 22/12/2024): 2 (+2 ‘accidental’)
– Yemeni attacks on Zionist Shipping: 0 (no ships around, apparently)
– Yemeni attacks on US Navy Ships: ~ 10 (+4 large attacks on USS Harry Truman and Carl Vinson)
– Yemeni strikes on US Drones: 27 (+6 since last count)
– Yemeni strikes on US Aircraft: 1 (unchanged since last count)
Comments:
– The casualty counts above are clearly undercounts: Strikes on convoys and buildings are high impact, but the IDF only admits 1 or two casualties from each strike even though its obvious multiple vehicles with at least 4 – 8 personnel in each vehicle have been destroyed. Helicopter airlifts from such incidents also discredit the IDFs low casualty admissions. Often we are expected to believe only 2 or three soldiers assault a tunnel (???), and other such absurdities.
– Reinforcing the above point: There is a drop-off in news reports coming from Gaza, due to the fact that most of the journalists have been killed by the occupation and the strip is under an apparent hermetic cordon. However, it appears IDF is taking heavy casualties based on the samples available from the ‘Net. Their screams are silent.
– There is now so much of the world’s most expensive, most advanced unexploded ordnance littering the ground of Gaza that Hamas has enough ordnance to fight for another century. There are an estimated 3000 MK-84 bombs unexploded in Gaza at this time. A full MK-84 is reportedly the biggest bomb the IOF drops on Gaza. This same MK-84 was detonated in a building sending the IDF soldiers inside to the moon. The explosion was heard all the way in central occupied Palestine, we are told.
– If indeed Trump intends to pave Gaza over and turn it into a riviera I suspect he’ll have to first spend the next decade picking out the lethal explosives first. [I had an old teacher once who taught me that applying too much power against your enemy eventually only strengthens them.]
– (29 April 2025 , released 2 May 2025) In a chilling video released by Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, a high-level ambush unfolds in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood of western Rafah, Gaza. Israeli soldiers operating in the area are seen walking straight into a deadly trap as resistance fighters detonate explosive devices under military vehicles and open fire in close-quarters combat. The operation, involving multiple explosive devices including Shawaz charges, results in the destruction of several IDF vehicles, including Hummers and a military truck, with confirmed casualties. Hamas claims their fighters moved in for a direct confrontation after the blast, killing and injuring more soldiers in brutal urban warfare. This ambush is part of a string of high-impact attacks being carried out by Palestinian resistance forces against the Israeli military in southern Gaza.

serving near Gaza when he was captured on occupied land.

(continued)
Haaretz (Israel’s “paper of record”) has this:

Alexander, a 20-year-old IDF Golani Brigade soldier, was abducted from a guard post at the “White House” outpost near Kibbutz Nirim.

I did a search on “White House” and found this Jerusalem Post article:
Title: Probe reveals Nirim deserted by IDF on Oct. 7, residents still feel betrayed by gov’t
[they should feel betrayed as that was what Oct 7th was – a planned betrayal by Netanyahu to create a pretext for the Gaza Holocaust]
https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-848841

Prior to the war, Nirim had a population of just over 400 residents. It is located close to Kibbutz Nir Oz, which was also utterly abandoned by the IDF until the early afternoon hours of October 7, when it was mostly too late to confront Hamas’s terrorists, who had by then almost entirely returned to Gaza.
Residents did acknowledge to The Jerusalem Post that there are many more IDF positions nearby now and that Nirim’s White House – a small nearby outpost – now has four times as many military personnel as it did on October 7, including more tanks.

Half of the IDF around Gaza were on leave on October 7th because it was both the Sabbath and a Jewish Holiday.
And Hamas knew it, and the IDF knew Hamas knew, because it was all laid out in Hamas’ plan for Oct 7th which the Israel had captured a year before October 7th.

The ostracism of Zionists has started.

Our guesthouse’s “Pledge of Non-involvement in War Crimes” applies not on the basis of “nationality,” but rather to individuals who have belonged to a military organization that has been determined by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to have committed war crimes. Therefore, this policy does not constitute “discrimination based on nationality.”
The very definition of “discrimination” is the unequal treatment of individuals based on factors beyond their personal control. To give an example, subjecting someone to unjust violence, confiscating their home and land, denying them legal protection, or detaining them indefinitely without trial simply because they are Palestinian clearly constitutes “discrimination.”
In contrast, joining a military — regardless of whether it is through conscription or voluntary enlistment — falls within the scope of personal choice and responsibility. Responding differently to individuals based on such choices is not discrimination. This is especially true when the commander-in-chief of that military has been internationally indicted for war crimes. In such cases, differing treatment is even more justifiable.
If Israeli nationals are more likely to be asked to sign the pledge, it is a consequence of the policies and actions of the Israeli government. If this results in disadvantages for Israeli citizens, the responsibility lies with their government. This is the natural and logical conclusion.
Should an individual involved in the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks attempt to stay at our guesthouse, we would likewise ask them to sign the same pledge. The fact that Hamas committed war crimes and whether an individual Israeli soldier is a war criminal are entirely separate issues. Using the former to justify the latter is nothing more than a typical fallacy called “ignoratio elenchi.”
It was the ICC that determined the Israeli military committed war crimes. If there is disagreement with this, then it is the duty of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Former Defense Minister Gallant — who have been issued arrest warrants — to appear before the ICC and assert their innocence in court. This is the appropriate course of action for those who claim to uphold international law.
While we do not represent Japan or Kyoto, this is our personal and principled stance that, at the very least, we do not believe that those who disregard international law and humanitarian values are entitled to receive “hospitality and respect.” We sincerely hope that the day will come when we can wholeheartedly welcome Israeli guests. For that, we respectfully urge the Israeli government to immediately cease its disregard for international law and to adopt policies grounded in humanitarian principles.

Netanyahu fully drops the mask:
“We are demolishing more and more houses, they have nowhere to return to … The only logical outcome would be the desire of the Gazans to emigrate abroad. Our main problem is finding countries willing to receive them,” he said while speaking to Israel’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
“For the first time, Netanyahu said in the committee, while referring to the humanitarian aid distribution plan in Gaza, that receiving the aid would be conditional on the Gazans who receive it not returning to the places from which they arrive at the aid distribution sites. The explanation: In the places from which they came, they are mixed with Hamas members.”

🚨BREAKING: Israel has assassinated Palestinian journalist Hassan Eslaih in a strike that bombed the burns unit of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis.
@hassaneslayeh
, a contributor to Mondoweiss and Palestine Today with hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers, was widely known and revered in Gaza for documenting Israel’s violence. His footage of airstrikes, raids, and the aftermath of civilian massacres was used by AP, CNN, Getty, Sky News, and The New York Times.
In April, Israel bombed a media tent used by journalists outside the same hospital, killing two of Eslaih’s colleagues. The Israeli military later admitted it was trying to assassinate him, falsely labeling him a Hamas operative. He survived with skull fractures, shrapnel wounds, severe burns, and two amputated fingers—and was still recovering in the hospital’s burns unit when Israel struck again.
The Jerusalem Post reported that some outlets had begun referring to Eslaih as “Israel’s nightmare” for his relentless, on-the-ground reporting that exposed the scale of Israel’s attacks on civilians.
Just weeks ago, from his hospital bed, Eslaih told Mondoweiss:
“It would not be difficult for the occupation to assassinate me again, especially with the increasing incitement I hear and see against me. They may target me inside the hospital, in this room of mine. What can I do?”

Assad was fortunate in that his family was already in Moscow in late November last year. Hafez Assad’s graduation ceremony at Moscow State University, in which he received his doctorate in mathematics, was held in that month. Otherwise, Assad’s wife and children would have been in danger of capture by head choppers. The ceremony apparently was held the same day the head choppers arrived in Damascus.
I do not know if Assad’s wife Asma is still alive. Her condition (she is suffering from terminal acute leukaemia) was said to be bad in February 2025; she was in isolation in hospital and only her father was allowed to visit her.
I am not surprised that senior Syrian army officials had been bribed by Qatar. Qatar had backed ISIS in Syria a decade ago.

I want to honor Gaza journalist Youssef Fares for his reporting and deeply poetic sight in the humanly unbearable place called Gaza and Palestine. May he stay safe and live to see the liberation of his land.
Youssef Fares:
Under a sky of flames, where death is scattered like grains of wheat in the sowing season.
Seven hours of calm, a temporary burst of energy in the midst of death, a sky unplowed by reconnaissance planes, no artillery or ambulance sounds, thousands experienced for a few hours the feeling of leaving the house to visit relatives without that inner obsession that they will not return safely.. The soldier was handed over and death returned.. We woke up from the temporary dream to the hellish reality.. How simple our dreams are and how cursed the war is!
Food has become the most embarrassing part of people’s lives, in this time of famine we are living, our people eat whatever is available and readily available, vegetables are the food of the rich and well-off and they are few, so be careful not to hurt anyone by asking him about what he ate, and whoever God has blessed with a piece of fruit or sweets, let him conceal his purchase and not show off in eating it, most people are hungry, they do not desire anything in itself, but they desire everything, modesty, my people, “Modesty is never in anything except that it adorns it” – The Noble Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace.
For two days now, I have been haunted by the funeral scene of Ihab Abu Hussein, from the rubble of the destroyed camp, under a sky of flames, where death is scattered like grains of wheat in the sowing season. Thousands came out carrying him on their shoulders, without invitations or a radio car, without party banners or a unified chant. Ihab is the beloved of the camp, the beloved of God. They raised him to the sky, where his white face is the page of their pure hearts. They celebrated him with their instinct, they baptized him with their tears. Not a blemish marred this scene. It is the inevitable resurrection, where the rubble turns into a people, a heart that has been filled with the blood of the pure. Peace be upon Ihab Abu Hussein, Ahmed Abu Hussein, Kamal Abu Hussein and their noble descendants until the Day of Judgment. And peace be upon Jabalia and its invincible spirit.

Shireen Abu Alkeh was also American, and yet her intentional murder by the genocidal Israeli death-cult has led to zero action from the US media and political class. Because Israel can mass murder whomever it wants with total impunity:

So, Trump had some interesting people with him in Saudi Arabia. Obviously some US businesses are going to do well with this “deal” and apparently, SA is looking to get permission to have civil nuclear capabilities out of it as well.
I’m not sure why the Saudi secret police had to sign agreements with the FBI, but that is involved, too.
—————–
[…] Later in the week, Trump will visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to discuss other diplomatic and investment deals. This week, the President said he plans to accept a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar, a move that has raised pushback from lawmakers in both parties amid the legal and constitutional concerns.
[…] “The deals celebrated today are historic and transformative for both countries and represent a new golden era of partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia,” the White House said in a statement.
A partnership between Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior and the FBI has also been included in the agreements.
Early on Tuesday, Trump attended a VIP lunch at the lavish Saudi Royal Court alongside other high-profile guests including Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO who is leading the administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The attendance by Musk, who previously said he would significantly reduce the amount of time spent on DOGE from May, suggests he is continuing to play a prominent role in the Trump Administration.
Other key U.S. business figures including Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink were also in attendance.
Trump is expected to attend a dinner with Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, later on Tuesday.
Elizabeth Dent, a senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy think tank, told TIME that there is a possibility the world leaders could announce “a civil-nuclear deal between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, which was long tied to the possibility of Saudi-Israel normalization but has recently been decoupled.”[…]

And Erik Prince has retained his friendship with Trump (God, these ghould never die). No doubt he is still buddies with the Clintons also. He has a plan for deporting immigrants from the US to El Salvador and if carried out, the idea is that sending people to the gulag in El Salvador would not be considered extradition or deportation any more.
—————
[…] One man looking to capitalize on this trend is Erik Prince, the former CEO of the private military company (PMC) Blackwater.
In a plan that has caught the interest of Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and President Donald Trump, Prince has proposed deporting undocumented migrants through his new venture, 2USV, on a fleet of private aircraft. A “Treaty of Cession” would designate part of El Salvador’s Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT) prison as U.S. territory, and the transfer of “a prisoner to such a facility would not be an Extradition nor a Deportation,” according to a Politico article. The prison complex, which Prince previously toured in August 2024, would then be leased back to El Salvador to run, and the U.S. prison standards would not apply to it, similar to Guantanamo Bay.
[…] Prince has also floated a proposal to take on Houthi rebels in Yemen, currently targeted by British, American, and Israeli strikes. He has also been involved in Israel since shortly after the October 7, 2023, attacks. One shelved proposal called for flooding Hamas tunnels in Gaza. While never executed, the initiative has inspired proposals in Gaza from other entities, including the February 2025 announcement that U.S. PMC UG Solutions and another firm will manage the strip’s Netzarim Corridor, “a checkpoint separating northern and southern Gaza,” according to Popular Resistance.org.
[…]The deportation plan tied to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, mentioned earlier, also has domestic implications. Prince’s company, 2USV, tied it to a $25 billion business plan to deploy private agents to arrest and remove 12 million undocumented migrants from the U.S. While not publicly endorsed by the White House, the plan closely mirrors Trump’s stated priorities and could divert public attention away from ICE’s efforts.

We are not the ones who set the tests, nor are we the ones who mark them.
If God sets USUKIS the Test,
Q 1. You have the power to eliminate 20 million people in order to create Greater Israel which God took away from you because of your violence.
Do you a/ Use more violence to getting back?, b/ give up violence completely to get it back, c/ start nuclear Armaggeddon to get it back.
I don’t set the tests, God does.
He marks them.
My Test is: USUKIS wants to colonise West Asia on a bit of old Testament fake tripe.
Do you a/ condemn their violence by word? b/ prepare for Jihad?, c/ assassinate Starmer as an expression of your disgust?
In my test, I already found out in 1987 that Britain is an uncivilised country that detests International Law and Christianity. I already found out that most of the Establishment of Islam supports USUKIS, because it gains power and profit by supporting them, so there’s no organised jihad to join.
I already found out from the Qur’an that those who ignore this genocide , are ignoring God, and are already headed for Eternal damnation. Ignoring God is a worse crime than even genocide, because God instilled into the human heart the knowledge of His Religion.
Which is worse, doing genocide , or ignoring God. Sorry to tell you it’s the latter, I’m afraid.
Laysa ba’da alkufri Dhanb.
Ignoring God is the Ultimate crime.
Killing Starmer wouldn’t change anything. He’s already a brainless waxwork in Mme Tussauds. A ZOMBIE.
Trump , an incarnation of Satan, a manifestation of the Dajjal who always lies about everything. Netanyahu, the quintessence of Nazi brutality, who many on MoA refuse to condemn, because they hate Islam and Muslims more than they hate genocide of human beings.

350+ Hollywood actors condemn Gaza genocide ahead of Cannes Festival
Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, and Pedro Almodóvar are among the stars who condemned the genocide in Gaza in an open letter released ahead of the Cannes Film Festival.
More than 350 figures from the global film industry, including Hollywood actors Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, have publicly condemned the genocide in Gaza in an open letter released Monday, just ahead of the Cannes Film Festival.
“We cannot remain silent while genocide is taking place in Gaza,” the letter states. It was initiated by several pro-Palestinian activist groups and published in both the French newspaper Libération and the US entertainment magazine Variety.
Among the signatories are acclaimed Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar and Ruben Östlund, the Swedish director and two-time Palme d’Or winner at Cannes. The letter specifically mourns the death of Gaza photojournalist Fatima Hassouna, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike…..

It is convenient for the West to think of the Lebanese and Palestinian populations as “imported Arabs” when in fact the slaughtering of Phenicians, Canaaneans and Nabateans has been going on for 3000 years.

DJT is in Saudi to save the Emirates , Saudis and expand The Last Ziofascists Imperial Project on behalf of the Owners of the Collective Waste.
He is trying to retrieve the Saudis and emirates from their fall into the multipolar. To do that the desert slaver tribals must be smooched, their Arab Tea must be drunk, their sheep’s eyeballs must be eaten, their gifts must be taken – they are now and always have been robbers, thieves and slave owners – just like their khazar masters of old.
They lay together in their knowledge that when the slaves rise their world is doomed.
They only can exist by greater crimes – human rights, war, endless theft …they share the same fleas.
Well – I got news for them, and for the Donald and his rabble of hoary old empire – He is there not to save it; but to bury it.
….
YoHo! HasbaRats – how’s it shaking in the bunkers? Lots of exercise running from the riviera to sweltering shelters! Lol.
Your daily mass murder; daily more indelible crimes.
It’s like you are panicking as your bastard Nazi forefathers were as the Red Army moved daily faster – the Yankee doodles can’t help anymore.
You is on your own.
Get out now. While you can!
From The River To The Sea.

Incredible, and kind of disturbing, that Trump is the first Western leader who seems to understand this and to criticize the West’s missionary zeal to remake others in its image.

Great speech. But choosing Jolani over Nutty does not leave me with much in the way of hope for Syria.

I can not see how DTrump’s speech can be perceived as “great”, meaningful and in any way exceptional.
It is a bunch of platitudes wrapped around a materialistic, business-centred proposal of life, society, prosperity and happiness.
It repeats the Western imposed false view of the ME as a terrorist (exporting) region, etc, while claiming a new generation of leaders is going to make it better by essentially just doing business (the clear implication being with the US Israel which should be recognized).
Trump’s speech is a bunch of nothingness.
Obama, educated and eloquent contrary to DT, held a promising-sounding speech (I think in Cairo, not sure) after he became USP, only for everything to get much, much worse.

Observe what they DO; not what they SAY.
Somewhat similar to when a Hyena smiles and winks at you as you take a walk on the wild side – he is not being friendly – simply sizing you up as to how you might taste when he devours you.

The current situation in Syria seems fragile, illegitimate and unstable. It is supported by weak regimes. (Turkey, the US and Israel). Those regimes are flailing about with no clear purpose and declining resources.
