Netanyahu: “September 11th was good for Israel”

Rubio has announced a sanction package directed at UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese “for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt @IntlCrimCourt action against US and Israeli officials, companies, and executives.”
“Albanese’s campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated.”
Presumably this will include a ban from US territory, and therefore UN HDQ. Albanese is a very effective public speaker. It is quite an exagerated stretch, and signal of her effectiveness, to describe her efforts as “political and economic warfare”.

Psalm 151
You came into their House
With your big beautiful B-2s
You bombed and shocked and awed
But nothing’s changed
Your Zionist masters raged
While you slithered away
Like a snake, scared into the weeds
Billions, burned out in the sand!
The Houthis own the Red Sea
Inflation is your destiny
The Houthis own the Red Sea
All your ships belong to them!
Now you’re running out of bombs
Israel is a harsh mistress
She must be protected!
Israel, Uber Alles!
You hear the wailing of the whore of Kiev
How he cries for salvation!
Your mad Orange king rages and rants in all-caps
But the Lord will not hear him
The Houthis own the Red Sea
Inflation is your destiny
The Houthis own the Red Sea
All your ships belong to them!

Now is the time to propose a popular vote for Francesca Albanese for the Nobel Peace Prize. She actually would deserve it. ie. Does anyone know how to set up one of those referendums – that would be world-wide?

To follow the last Palestinian thread re; a Zio form of Islam (Sunni) – the “greater Israel” proposition would now also include Mecca and Medina “to be purified”, whatever that means. (You can probably guess)
****
The IDF have started a new attack on South Lebanon.(Haaretz, no further description yet) after the discussions between Jewlani and the Zionists on the partition of Lebanon, to which the Lebanese were not invited. Jewlani would get Tripoli (Alawite majority territory) and the Beka valley (Shia). and the Zios would get Golan heights and proably all of Southern Lebanon. Since the US has its major fortress (26 Acres) in Beirut – that would form part of the US territory.

“This latest from Laith was truly terrifying.
He puts forward the thesis that the entirety of (Sunni) Islam is being inverted and shaped with the help of Arab governments via the mechanism of the Abraham accords to create a new version of Islam subdued to Zionism.”

“He has spent a lot of money”
…would do.
The US (and EU) is quite involved in Morocco, regarding western Sahara and via military ties. As Alawi he still holds religious standing, might be considered as taking the route Assad rejected …with reforms that were concession to the west and Berber, but maintaining a strong disuasive security presence.
So for toppling it is that there is no strong front.
Morocco is somewhat distant from Shia as per the near east, Sunni fundamentalism or derivatives are not encouraged, he has the backing of/has gone along with west to a degree so is not so threatened from western subversion, the Berber are still minority and still trying to ensure their own legacy. The economy is dependent on western markets in a form that is understood by the population…so there is no obvious challenge except public discontent due to ties with “Israel”/US/EU genocide , and that is the security forces that would deal with.
He allows protests, but for sure there will be discontent…so far no country has seen its rulers overthrown due to support for west/”Israel” , or for related ruler business/money arrangements.
I don’t know, politics is mirrors and one theme can be used to overthrow existing rule only to introduce something completely unrelated, or simply to degrade a country. So I think populations are cautious now, they know things are not as obvious as they appear and do not want to risk losing what they have achieved so far.
Even in the west. We tend to take our circumstance as a final peace amongst western nations, but current events might make people wonder if really the last three quarters of a century will be just turned into a ceasefire that can be ended without further explanation (as per US and “Israel” in Gaza).
When war comes, few are prepared or understand what is occuring.
Not saying much with all of that, but the difference between ‘deserving to be toppled’ and what actually goes on, can be large.

Allah swt in the Qur’an commands the Muslims to kill the irredeemable enemies of Islam like Smotrich Trump, Ben Gvir, Katz. He doesn’t command the Muslims to spy on other Muslims in their bedrooms for the enemies of Islam , to support the genocide of Palestinians because they are Sufis, or to pay Chinese Muslims who have been brainwashed to murder to attack the Shi’a sect because of some 1200 year old schism in the religion.
Jewlani has no control over a single speck of dust in Syria. He has signed the entirety of Syria over to USUKIS.
If he had one atom of legitimacy in Islam he would have killed half a dozen senior Assad officials like our prophet SAW when he entered Mecca, riding on a donkey.
Jewlani is killing people in Syria to weaken Syria and to cast terror to West Asia for USUKIS, like Ghenghis Khan.

Middle East Spectator – MES

Yemen releases video of ballistic missile strike on ETERNITY C, a ship en route to Umm al-Rashrash, with the footage showing direct hits and an eventual sinking

Have naval ballistic missile ever been used in theatre yet? This seems like a new development.

VIDEO | An Israeli tourist throwing a coin into the wishing fountain in Rome says, “And with God’s help, we will burn all these Arabs.”

This is hilarious and only demonstrates the ignorance of that people.
When you throw a coin in the Fontana di Trevi you only express the desire to be back to Rome, fountain is not some kind of deiti you pray for whatever.
And, by the way, when you throw the coin, you do so facing away from the monument, using your right hand and throwing over your left shoulder.
A more complex ‘tradition’ states that if you throw a second coin you will find love in Rome, and a third coin will result in your wedding taking place in Rome.

Our little yap dog Laurence reminds me of Ideefix in Asterix and Obelix, always dreaming about big bones of contention.
But in reality just yapping silly little insults.

“This latest from Laith was truly terrifying.
He puts forward the thesis that the entirety of (Sunni) Islam is being inverted and shaped with the help of Arab governments via the mechanism of the Abraham accords to create a new version of Islam subdued to Zionism.”

I foresee some thorny issues wrt the riviera project. Do T and N want to please their fundamentalist supporters? If so they should discuss immediately wether women will be allowed in swimming suits, and alcohol served, or if they want a puritanist holy land (to rival the Saudi one?)
Oh yes. Tel Aviv is a haven for everything dirty, pedophiles from USA and Europe will find sanctuary there and Tel Aviv is the party LTBQ capitol in the world. Everything opposite to the Bible part two, and everything ++ from the satanic Bible part one, killing and genozideing. Everything goes as planned. Main street of Tel Aviv is called Rothchild Boulevard. They also have a King George V street.

I cam tell you that in Pakistani Birmingham the imams are openly preaching Saud Salafist hate as per Jewlani’s Islamic State. It is a poison concocted by USUKIS to change the cire beliefs of Islam from tolerance to genocide, which is what Jewlani is doing in Syria with his Takfiri imported , drugged maniacs.
My imam used verses from the Qur’an to support the terrorism of Daesh in Sri Lanka. I reported this imam at the time to Prevent, and Trump handing Syria to Jewlani has emboldened him and his ilk to justify the stripping naked of Shi’a women, rape and murder of tens of thousands of their families .
Tell me, is it useful to report mosque hate speech to a government that arrests an 80 year old woman vicar peacefully demonstrating against the USUKIS genocide in Palestine? Who looked exactly like my own mother who died in her 80s a few years ago. Is it terrorism to think peace?

I’m still astonished DoJ and DoS didn’t take any actions against the judges suing Mileikowsky for corruption in it’s own “homeland” (not Poland). And I’m wondering : why not ?
There’s something fishy here.
Did they anticipated an instant “grace” for the entity’s president ? Does he have constitutional power to do so ? Well ; there is no constitution in this god damned land … so anything’s possible.
Ever prepare for the worst; you shall never been displeased.

I apologize for my ‘failing memory’; you are a good sport.
However, your idea that LoveDonbass is ‘not conceited’ is akin to saying, ‘the sun does not rise in the East’.

I gotta agree here.
Generally Mary provides valuable, concise information and does not indulge in the conceited superiority-laced sophistries of the LB alter ego.
But “Mary: I know who I am” = Funny, because presumably we all know who we are, but LB herself is super-coy as to who (and where) she is and how she came by her superiority complex!!

NDP Members Want Leader To Boldly Oppose Israel’s Genocide
https://yvesengler.com/2025/07/08/ndp-members-want-leader-to-boldly-oppose-israels-genocide/
“The NDP’s position on the Gaza holocaust should be a central issue in the leadership race. It’s at the heart of my campaign to heal the party.
Activists have already expressed hope that [Heather] McPherson would likely prefer the party brass block me from running to avoid the debate.
While the vast majority of NDP members want the party to boldly challenge Canadian complicity in a live streamed holocaust, McPherson’s record suggests that is not something she’s interested in championing.”
