The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has become a propaganda mouthpiece for the Anglo-Zionist Empire:
Suppose an aspiring nuclear terrorist consists of an ideologically motivated mid-level officer or official in Iran with access to at least one cache of 60-percent-enriched uranium. This person could be a nuclear scientist, politically motivated to join the Iranian nuclear program, or an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) security official, such as a military officer. Such a person would not necessarily need an extensive technical background or be a top senior official, but would need to be positioned just high enough within the existing Iranian leadership to be able to recruit other operatives to complete the necessary technical steps, including stealing some weapon-usable enriched uranium.
.
.
.
The mullahs, particularly the aging clerical elite, are at an all-time low in favorability among Iranians, and might also be seen by some within the regime as cynical power-retainers and no longer as revolutionaries, contrary to the regime’s policy of sustaining and exporting the ideology of the revolution. Their support for nuclear weapons is often symbolic—meant to deter foreign intervention and preserve the regime, rather than to ever actually use them. Many mullahs, therefore, see nuclear weapons as a tool for political leverage. Khamenei himself has repeatedly spoken against the use of nuclear weapons, but never officially opposed their development for deterrence.
Whether or not Khamenei actually issued a fatwa (strict religious decree) in 2003 that forbids the acquisition of nuclear weapons, a motivated cabal may not be deterred because they could consider this decree not a real ruling to be enforced, but one meant to be disregarded as propaganda for foreigners. Regardless, there are hundreds of mullahs within the Iranian government, and only one would be enough to divert the resources necessary to build a crude nuclear weapon.

The Adelson/Trump/Witkoff/Ludnick foreign policy towards Israel has done more to destroy Israel than any prior presidency. The Israel economy is in a death spiral no matter how many tech companies announce moving to a major presence in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv – very, very hard to staff. Despite Netanyahu’s ban on exodus, Israeli’s continue to slide through porous borders to countries with functioning airports and on to US/EU/UK. With all the US bluster about annihilating Iran, Russia has moved S400’s to Isfahan with Russian trainers. While Saar is in Ukraine to pump up Zelensky in continuing the war, high level EU/US politicos meeting to end his presidency but not with elections. Militarily, Netanyahu and his cadre of rabid facists are far overstretched – West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran et al as well as prison system that is far over capacity as well as noted for unmentionable atrocities. Army attrition through death, grievous wounds, disabling psychiatric wounds and refusniks is enormous relative to Israel’s military population. Syria/Iraq irregulars are organizing and, whispered to the wind, Russia is assisting in the process. Are countries such as France, Canada and other hold outs moving to the Palestinian side re recognition at the UN GA as a result of Israeli atrocities making overt support of Israel politically unsustainable (e.g. polis is rising in rage) or recognition that Palestine has powerful supporters, an eloquent and astute diaspora and that Israel is moving to a state of terminal weakness. Or both.

I just saw this Frank Herbert quote, and instantly thought of Palestine, although the attempt to destroy a people creates resistance, in Gaza, in Lebanon, and Iran.
Humans live best when each has his place to stand, when each knows where he belongs in the scheme of things and what he may achieve. Destroy the place and you destroy the person.

The empire doesn’t only invade countries.
It invades narratives.
It rewrites memory.
It criminalizes the victims.
It pathologizes the resistors.
It elevates the occupier into a reluctant hero.
It tells you that the people being bombed brought it on themselves.
That starvation is a security measure.
That carpet bombing is a moral act if done by the right hands.
And the moment you believe it,
It wins without firing a shot.

You gotta appreciate how Booker words his statement without even mentioning “Israel”, genocide, etc. He does manage to spit out this , “The strategy of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has not worked. Proven methods to get humanitarian aid to those in need while preventing diversion to Hamas must be used to flood the zone now…”
It has already been proven that Hamas is not stealing the aid; it’s an ISIS-affiliated gang paid by Isreal. Also unmentioned is the fact that Israel targets the police forces and aid workers that were getting the aid distributed in a manageable fashion. There are not enough police left in Gaza to do that job. And, of course, people are so hungry now that one can only expect desperate people to storm the trucks when they see them.
Here’s what the US Congress is doing about all that:
————–
[…] The GOP-dominated House Appropriations Committee last week voted to bar financial support for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, long the main hub of aid distribution in Gaza.
If passed by Congress, the ban would reinforce a financial blockade on UNRWA that began last year as Israel subjected the agency to an intense pressure campaign. […]
The timing of the latest proposed ban dismayed observers who have sought to increase the flow of aid to Palestinians in Gaza.
“It seems incredibly hypocritical to suddenly be shocked by these images when every humanitarian agency has said no one can replace UNRWA,” said Yara Asi, an assistant professor at the University of Central Florida’s School of Global Health Management and Informatics.
Congress first banned funding for UNRWA in March 2024 as Israel pushed allegations that the agency’s employees were involved in the October 7, 2023, attacks. Democratic President Joe Biden had already paused funding for the agency.
The House and Senate are working to replace that appropriations package with a new one for the next financial year. On July 23, the House Appropriations Committee passed a bill focusing on funding for national security and State Department programs.
The $46 billion bill would slash funding for many foreign aid programs and ban funding for UNRWA, while handing Israel $3.3 billion to buy more American arms.
Taking last year’s ban a step further, the House appropriations bill would prohibit funding for the United Nations secretariat, the organization’s parent agency, until it released an unredacted copy of an August 2024 investigation conducted by the U.N. into Israel’s claims that UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7 attacks. […]
In a statement, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, the Florida Republican who chairs the national security and State Department subcommittee of the appropriations committee, hailed the anti-UNRWA measures as “examples of how this bill strengthens national security and supports an America First foreign policy.”
In the wake of the U.N. internal investigation, European countries have gradually restored funding for UNRWA, which operates in Gaza along with other U.N. agencies such as the World Food Programme.
President Donald Trump has opted to go another route, instead providing funding for the shadowy Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, at whose food distributions hundreds of people have been killed by Israeli soldiers. […]
By contrast, UNRWA says it is ready to deliver the equivalent of 6,000 truckloads of aid as soon as it receives a “green light” from Israel. […]
The link between the pressure campaign against UNRWA and the scenes playing out in Gaza now is clear, Asi said, even if Israeli and U.S. officials don’t want to admit it.
“Those lines have not really been connected, between defunding the largest humanitarian response agency in Gaza with obvious humanitarian disaster after. They were warned,” she said.
Rep. André Carson, D-Ind., introduced a bill in March to restore UNRWA funding that has drawn support from dozens of mostly progressive House members.
Supporters of restoring funding for UNRWA acknowledge that Carson’s bill is an extreme long shot in a Congress dominated by pro-Israel lawmakers but still say that it is an important symbolic move.
“It’s a tough road for UNRWA and U.S. funding for UNRWA for the foreseeable future, unfortunately. But we need to really draw a contrast: We had UNRWA distributing aid across 400 sites across the Gaza Strip before,” said Hassan El-Tayyab. the legislative director for Middle East policy at the Friends Committee on National Legislation. “We are heading towards a large-scale mass starvation in Gaza if something doesn’t happen.”

“Supporters of restoring funding for UNRWA acknowledge that Carson’s bill is an extreme long shot in a Congress dominated by pro-Israel lawmakers but still say that it is an important symbolic move.” – from the above article. Yeah, I am sure that the Palestinians will appreciate the “symbolic move” offered by the brave Sir Andre Carson and his Merrie Fiddlers of the progressive wing of the Democrats.
If only the Palestinians could offer up their “symbolic” deaths instead of their actual deaths to appease the Satanistic juggernaut coming at them from Israel and the US.

Update from two hours ago regarding Christian Smalls. Note that nobody from the US ever spoke on his behalf, nor checked on his status, despite him being on a hunger strike during the 5 days he was held in Israel’s gulag:
—————–
An American man and a Tunisian man detained by Israel while on board a Freedom Flotilla vessel heading to Gaza were released from prison on Thursday.
Christian Smalls and Hatem Aouini were aboard the Handala when it was stormed by Israeli forces in international waters on 26 July.
Both were put in Givon prison in Israel. Both went on hunger strike for five days to protest against mistreatment.
Aouini was met by Tunisian embassy staff at the border with Jordan.
US consulate and US Embassy officials did not meet with Smalls despite repeated requests for assistance and being notified in advance of his arrival details, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition said in a press release.
All 21 volunteers aboard the Handala have now been released from Israeli captivity.
The raid of the Handala was broadcast live by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, showing soldiers confronting unarmed passengers as they sat on deck with their hands raised, singing the anti-fascist anthem “Bella Ciao.”
The Handala, carrying 19 activists, including European MPs and two Al Jazeera journalists, was intercepted roughly 100 kilometres west of Gaza, and around 50km off Egypt’s coast.
More than 10,300 Palestinian political prisoners remain captive in Israeli prisons, with at least 320 of them children in violation of international law.

Fanto – thanks. I submitted it to the wrong comment section. I had a serious intermittent fault on the line, now cured, so rushed it before the internet failed again. Got the wrong section. Not too disastrous a mistake, I hope. Crooke has plenty of information on both Ukraine and the Middle East.
I haven’t been able to read all Crooke’s output but what he doesn’t mention from what I’ve seen is that we sent our Jihadis – that is, US/UK backed Jihadis – up from Al Tanf at the same time that the Jihadis came down from Idlib. And those Jihadis from Al Tanf had been prepped in advance. We’re deeper into this whole mess in the Middle East than has yet been pocked up, I’d guess.
Not too difficult to guess how the Colonel would have reacted. He’d have been incandescent. He had a low opinion of the fighting quality of the IDF – thought all they spent most of their time doing was killing civilians – and that’s fully justified by what’s happening now.

Yesterday I spoke to a Christian pastor from Gaza.
There are children starving.
And Christians have been killed and injured, as well as many innocent people.
If you are an American Christian, this should be absolutely unacceptable to you.
Just as we said that Hamas killing and kidnapping innocent people on Oct 7th is absolutely unacceptable.
Are innocent Israeli lives more valuable than innocent Palestinian and Christian lives?
And why should America continue funding this?
The secular government of nuclear armed Israel has proven that they are beyond capable of dealing with their enemies and are capable of and are in the process of systematically cleansing them from the land.
Most Americans that I know don’t hate Israel and we are not antisemitic at all.
We are beyond fed up with being told that we have to fix the world’s problems, pay for the world’s problems, and fight all the world’s wars while Americans are struggling to survive even though they work everyday.
And many of us, even though we are Christians, no longer want to fund and fight nuclear armed secular Israel’s wars especially when it leads to starving children and killing innocent people including Christians.
Of course we are against radical Islamic terrorism, but we are also against genocide.
You see..
When you have worked your entire life, and will only receive a $1,000 Social Security check, but noncitizens were given $3,500 and more, you are pissed off.
When you have worked your entire life, and all your elected federal officials have recklessly spent and sent your hard earned money to every foreign country and every foreign war and NGO to the point we are almost $40 TRILLION in debt and inflation has caused life to be unaffordable, you are pissed off.
When you have worked your entire life, and your elected federal government officials refuse to fix the absurd problems that makes all insurance unaffordable, you are pissed off.
And for the younger generations, who are trying their hardest to make it in this ridiculous system, they feel hopeless!
And that makes me burn with anger.
None of this is antisemitic and I, along with millions of Americans, refuse that manipulative label.
It’s the consequences of decades of America LAST policies, nonstop foreign intervention, and the American people clearly seeing the truth and suffering.
Here is where I stand.
No American should face persecution of any kind because of their identity.
Not Jewish American.
Not Muslim American.
Not Christian American.
Not White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, mixed American.
And on and on.
We already have hate crime laws against that and that’s not who we are in America and we have and should continue to work hard to not allow ourselves to become that.
My position is this.
As a U.S. Representative, I represent the American people.
My full focus is on fixing America’s problems.
And right now, the problems in America are threatening my children’s future.
I consider that a war against my children.
Every single person, no matter who they are that continues to enslave my children in debt, continues policies that make their lives unaffordable, and prioritizes foreign countries and foreign wars above my children’s lives and livelihoods, I see as the enemy waging the war against my children and their generation.
I will continue to push for world peace because that is the type of world I want for my children and all the world’s children.
I want America to put American companies and American jobs first and to protect American land and American homes from foreign consumption.
Most importantly, I demand the federal government serve the American people, who pay your salaries.
September 30th brings another annual government funding deadline.
I sincerely hope Republicans, out on August recess right now, will return in September with a renewed focus to stop funding foreign wars and stop waging the fiscal war against my children and their entire generation.

The files that Iran got from Israel about their nuclear program are starting to trickle out.
Apparently, IAEA inspectors had sensors hidden in their shoes when they went to Iranian sites.
I would guess they were to determine depth or signals underground.
I expect more to come. Iran was warned by Putin to be wary of an attack from Israel/America soon.
One more attack might be enough to break Israel for good.
It’s all coming to a head, just as Trump is trying to increase pressure on Russia.
Meanwhile, China continues to make 1,000 missiles each day in its dark (unlit) robotic factories.
I’ve been saying the West (incl. Israel) is done for some time now. It’s the 4th quarter, and they are out of timeouts, down by 4 touchdowns. Not enough time to stage a comeback.
Time is undefeated. The West has never accounted for it, and now it’s biting them.

It is disgusting that Bernie Sanders continues to refuse to call it genocide, even while *Israel’s own* human rights organisations have confirmed that it is. Shameful and disgusting.
Sanders is a Zionist who considers himself to be moral and cannot face up to the fact that Zionism is, at its core, a genocidal project.

I have to be able to live with myself. If I see wrong and I say nothing, what kind of person would I be? Am I the guy who looks the other way when someone is assaulted in public?
Questions I have asked myself.
And I always think, what if it were my loved ones being starved? What if Trump was serving my sister up to Epstein?
As a Frank Herbert quote reminded me,
“Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.”
If I am not pursuing truth, then what the heck is my life even about?
Speaking only for myself, I don’t want to live as a liar. That’s no life at all, IMO.

US Green Beret saw IDF war crimes at aid delivery sites in Gaza.
“In my entire career I have never witnessed the level of brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed starving population,” according to US Green Beret Anthony Aguilar, who deployed to Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution sites in the Gaza strip. “Using artillery rounds, mortar rounds, tank rounds into unarmed civilians is a war crime.”
“The American people need to know what the United States is involved in in Gaza. We’re not bystanders. We are a part of it. U.S. tax dollars are going towards this effort. Americans are on the ground, armed, in Gaza, engaging with Palestinians and involved in things that America needs to know about.”
Aguilar has provided direct testimony of his experience working for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which manages US- and Israeli-backed ‘aid delivery’ in Gaza.
“Dystopian to the tenth degree. It’s horrible. There was no box for this young man. So he picked up some things that he found on the ground, and he was so thankful for even that. And he walked up to me and he extended his hand, and I beckoned for him to come forward, and he grabbed my hand, and he kissed my hand and he said, “Shukran, shukran,” and he was sincere.
“Then he held my hand and he kissed it, and I knelt down to look at him in the face so I can let him know that, you know, people care. You’re not alone. People care. And he set down his bags and he put his hands on my face and he kissed me.
“And he says, “Thank you.” And he picked up his bags and he went back to join this group. This was the last remaining group of people on the site that were picking up remnants of aid.
“The IDF [Israeli military] opened up with machine gun fire into the crowd to get them to leave faster, to get them to hurry. Shooting at their feet, shooting over their head, shooting into the berm. There’s video of this. It’s been verified. That’s the first time I had experienced such use of force against… So I didn’t know what was going on because he had walked through the berm, and I heard the shooting. So I ran up to the berm to look, and there were dead Palestinians. He was one of them.”

On the “historic vote” by 27 senators, that must have sent a message to the more rabid Zionists; but what message? The Zionists dehumanized themselves killing the Palestinians/Arabs. The genocide has been going on since the first massacres of Palestinians some 100 years ago and has made the Zionists utterly irretrievable. Thus, in their logic, the Zionists cannot backtrack from their perversion of history, and their absolute inversion of anti-racism. So perverted that any and all talk is useless. “Antisemitism” becomes a weapon to kill and silence people regardless of any consideration but the Zionist impunity in killing. Let’s see how they will cry “anti-semitism” with this Senate vote by a slightly smarter but no less blood-thirsty bunch. Let’s see if they dare call their overlords names.
The Zionists’ logic ultimately engenders one true reading: to be anti-Zionist is to be humanely intelligent. Otherwise, all that is humane in the cultural edifice of humanity will be negated. History will eventually take care of making it thus: to be human is to be Anti-Zionist; or Anti-fascist, Anti-Nazi, Anti-imperialist, or be dead. It starts with death to the Israeli Death Squads (IDS), and on to their Intellectual Death Squads (IDS too — a.k.a corporate media), and their Imperialist Banking Machines (IBM; the International Business Machine version, not ironically, supplied the tabulation and computing machines to the Nazis to help murder millions including Jews in Europe, just like all the low-life tech companies who are fueling the genocide of the Palestinian/Arabs today.)
It may be politically correct for some to speak of “dismantling” the genocidal state, but a true expression would be simply “destruction”. The current, intensified phase of the genocide ensured that no South African-style dismantling is possible. The modern, Nazi-like industrialization of the genocide while the world balance of forces is shifting decisively against imperialism, will ensure that nothing but destroying every last Zionist institution will be the order of the day, inshallah soon. Many a Zionist will be physically destroyed in the process, probably well through the remainder of this century wherever they escape to, much more than what happened to some Nazis. Lucky are those “ordinary” zionists who can escape the hell they created and hide long enough in their employers’ countries to die of natural causes.
Where were we?! The Senate vote! One can read what they want in it, but one aspect is just an aknowledgement that the IDS are not putting weapons to use efficiently enough. I will believe it is historic when the vote is 100% to call Zionism a terrorist movement.

I swear to you—Israel is testing new weapons.The bodies I saw today,the faces—they’re not from this world.These aren’t wounds from bombs.These are burns,fusions,disfigurements I’ve never seen http://before.You can’t imagine it but u will.Because I’m posting the photos.

They’re testing something—on civilians. I’ve seen burns with no fire, paralysis without trauma, organs failing with no visible wounds. This isn’t war. It’s human experimentation. Drop your guesses. Quote this. Let the world see what they’re doing.

It’s also long been obvious from her/his facility with US-style English and slang. Another funny thing is that she/he would often say things like “who cares about Trump and the US issues, the ROW doesn’t care anymore about them and they are irrelevant”, and yet constantly posts things about Trump and the US.

Summary:
• Pal74press
“Government Media Office in Gaza:
104 new aid trucks entered Gaza, most of which were subjected to systematic looting under the auspices of the occupation.”
“Slovenian government: We have become the first European country to ban the import, export, and transfer of weapons to and from Israel.”
(After two years of genocide, one european country places arms embargo)
Confused picture again today, atrocity and starvation continue, bombings seem less but there is not a figure for casualties offerred for today so far. “Israel” is drawing down troops by 30%, for rest or redeployment (according to official) , is more newly active in Lebanon and Syria. Reports regarding negotiations are chaotic, negotiation is maybe non existant now in practical terms. Tomorrow more airdrops were announced for, saw no reports for today (might have been morning?) . Talk has moved to of annexing Gaza and West Bank, air campaign more than troops….just talk.
Impression is of a move a under way, but I would be guessing to say what.

The weapons are all supplied by the US, and in his first term Trump described them as ‘beautiful’. We’ve heard descriptions of Iranian scientific studies on forces of energy , matter and space.
As you know, in Ayatulkursi Allah SWT states that they can only discover as much knowledge as He wishes them to.
Prophet Esa AS and Muhamnad SAW were both transported through space.
These energies would make fossil fuels, and even nuclear fuels redundant, so in one sense they are beautiful. But money is only available for hate.
Why would the PTB create weaponry with technologies that could supply endless cheap electricity and transport us through space? The grievances of the Jews are 2,500 years old, and are only kept alive through Satanism and rejection of God.
I am immobilised by the levels of Satanism manifested daily by the world’s political classes. None of them appear to have even a lick of common sense.
Is evil so addictive? Or are they struggling with some centrifugal force, circling round a drain, which they are unable to escape?
In Craig Murray’s latest, Malicious Mischief, he describes a ruling class that is fully aware of the risks of tyrannical legislation, still circling the drain of madness like a Dervish in a trance.
We have to obey , like Zombies , the Sirens of Jewish Satanism and we will be cursed if we ever escape.

– “In the end, every beginning has an end, even if it is long, tyrannical, and drains what remains of our souls. Today’s war will become a memory tomorrow, but what memory?! A memory covered in rubble, engraved in hearts, surrounded by the names of those who left due to hunger, oppression, slaughter, and under the rubble. We will tell it to teach our children that this land is not given for free, and that patience is not an option, but rather an obligation imposed on us since we were born. We will tell it as we gather what remains of our lives, repair our souls, and try, despite the loss, to live.”
– “Falsehood will rise higher than any other in the sky and shine like gold, until every blind person gathers around it.
Then it will fall and hit the ground with the most devastating blow, so that even the deaf will hear and everyone who stands firm on the truth will rejoice despite the pain.”

120, 121. Yes, yes, of course. The usual generalizations, few here would dispute.
But try a little specific thinking. Suppose Eric Prince, whoever he is (I don’t like him either), is not a dispensationalist Christian. Suppose he really doesn’t like Israel’s bombing of Christians. Suppose he has Trump’s ear. Suppose he could influence Trump to restrain Nutyanoo in some effective way.
Perhaps this is not beyond the range of possibilities.
Just speculating.

Why would I go to all of that trouble to think well of a mercenary? Mercenaries are the lowest form of scum; they kill for money. They go to countries other than their own to bring misery and destruction. There is a reason why Mercs aren’t covered by the Geneva Conventions.
Btw, Prince is from a powerful Mormon clan out of Michigan.
He’s a scumbag, so he is probably working with pedoTrump to starve children to death. He’s one of those well-paid guys who handles “sensitive” ops.

It reminds me of ‘les casseur’ in france. When there are large public demonstrations there, peaceful etc. , they appear and start confrontation with police, start breaking everything around (hence the name). The effect is to disassemble the demonstration and give a bad reputation.
Nothing stopping anyone being ‘an angry mob’ by themselves.
So, some think radical left etc. , wanting to start revolution or something, but usually they are considered either actually serving state (inviting repression and denying public expression) directly or they don’t realise they are.
The way posts ‘jump out’ is on purpose.Thankfully there are ways of reading the page or comment without reading the actual comment , but I did not have to do that here before. It is possible to judge intent, sincerity, mood, often author etc.

Saudi Arabia: ‘No normalisation with Israel without Palestine state’
Does not accept Israeli passports, however there are some exceptions. Israeli Muslims may get a temporary Jordanian passport to enter the country for Hajj / Umrah purposes only and since 2020, Israeli businesspeople can obtain a special visa in order to enter the country.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_Israel
28 UN member states do not recognize Israel: 15 members of the Arab League (Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen); ten non-Arab members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Niger, and Pakistan); and Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela.

Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah
🚨France’s @EmmanuelMacron poses as a champion of a Palestinian state, but looking at declaration signed by France and other governments including Ireland exposes a deeply anti-Palestinian, pro-Israel agenda, disguised as support for Palestine.
Statement condemns only Palestinian resistance operation of 7 October, even declaring it “antisemitic.” This is like calling Irish resistance to British savagery “antienglishism” or “antiscottishism.” No condmenation of “Israel” and no mention of genocide.
They declare their commitment to the continued existence of the entity perpetrating genocide, under the guise of a “two-state solution” in which a non-sovereign Palestinian “state” will be ruled by the Vichy-style Mahmoud Abbas traitor regime.
https://x.com/AliAbunimah/status/1950580437077946517
Having explicitly condemned only the resistance, they go on to vaguely express “concern” over “the high number of civilian casualties and humanitarian situation in Gaza” without mentioning who caused it. No mention here of the perpetrator, “Israel.”
Here they praise the Palestinian traitor “leader” Mahmoud Abbas for his condemnation of Palestinian resistance, his “commitment” to surrender (further) to a list of bogus Israeli demands, and his acceptance of a “demilitarized” “state” i.e a non-sovereign bantustan.
Thus we can see from their own statements, that @EmmanuelMacron’s push for a “Palestinian state” serves entirely Israeli, Zionist, anti-Palestinian agenda and aims at the political destruction of the Palestinian people and the triumph of Vichy-style collabartion and treachery…..
https://x.com/AliAbunimah/status/1950588050309829051

One of a few posts on this morning – firstly straight from the top of my fevered brow.
1. The Collective Wastes non-Semitic / convert fake Talmudic Jewish believers of a depraved supremacist god that promised them the whole earth and all its peoples as slaves and animals – must realise and admit that they have no right to the illegal apartheid entity.
2. They must admit they NEVER had such a right to demand the establishment of that colonisation through the Balfour Declaration or the construction of the fascist supremacy of Zionism 2 centuries ago.
3. They must leave, taking nothing but what they carry and have in their stomachs.
4. They must pay compensation and if they killed or hurt any natives – they must admit that and take responsibility for it – or face capture, prosecution , trial and punishment for it.
5 . The majority of the ‘western’ supporters of the illegal apartheid entity who have been raised on its lie and gave it an unconditional support must slap themselves in the face everyday for every single Palestinian/Levantine/Persian/Arab that they encouraged to be killed.
6. The worst are the xenophobic Zionist Christian’s – mostly of the USA and their ‘leaders’ without whose absurd, fantasy of viloent death of humanity and destruction of the world, the whole planet !
They who were bred and raised in that old slave religious eschatology – who believe in a ‘return’ of a fake Jesus. They pray for it family and they PAY for it continuously to enable such human misery and conquests – in the name of that fake religion – created as the Holy Roman Empire by the empire builders of Rome.
THEY are the ONLY ones who bear the ultimate responsibility for the establishment, support and destruction in their names by the illegal apartheid entity and its agents in the deepstate of the Collective West.
Death to Zionism.

Telegraph: Israeli military turns away from Netanyahu as Hamas continues to fight
● The British newspaper The Telegraph, in a published report, analyzes the consequences of Netanyahu’s “eternal war” in Gaza, which is said to “create a risk of mutiny at various levels and in the highest echelons of the army.”
● Today, Hamas has turned into a network of independent guerrilla units that continue to conduct combat operations among the ruins and one by one return bags with soldiers’ bodies to Israel.
● Most of Israel’s reservists no longer want to respond to calls, look for excuses not to return to the army, or even leave the country to avoid service. In their opinion, the war in Gaza has lost its meaning — and this view is spreading even among senior officers.
● It is also reported that army representatives are forced to reach out to reservists through social media and literally beg them to return to service due to a serious shortage of personnel.

Al-Houthi: The Zionist regime is having fun at the expense of the suffering of Gaza’s children
The leader of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement, Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, stated:
🔹 The Zionist regime has sent a group of settlers in an unprecedented and inhumane way to organize a celebration near the Gaza border.
🔹 The purpose of this gathering is to observe the suffering of the Palestinian people due to hunger, thirst, and siege. This act represents a clear symbol of enjoying the suffering of innocent people and deliberately humiliating Muslims.
🔹 At the same time, the Israeli army and settlers destroyed large quantities of humanitarian aid – including food, medicine, and drinking water – at the Kerem Abu Salim border crossing, and some of it was buried in the ground.
🔹 All this is happening while the people of Gaza are going through extremely critical and catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
🔹 The savage and criminal behavior of the Zionist regime, especially towards children and newborns, further reveals the depth of the humanitarian crisis and the scale of the tragedy caused by this regime.

About time – lets hope the shipping of weapons to the Zionists doesn’t happen behind his back, as it did in Spain.
“In a significant development in the ongoing global boycott of Israel, Slovenia has officially become the first European Union member state to ban the import, export, and transit of weapons and military equipment to and from Israel.
The groundbreaking decision made on Thursday marks a notable shift in Slovenia’s foreign policy and highlights the growing support for Palestinian rights within Europe.
The Slovenian government underscored that the ban was prompted by the dire humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, coupled with the European Union’s perceived inaction regarding Israel’s war in Gaza.
Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob emphasized that this move showcases Slovenia’s unwavering commitment to upholding international law and human rights.
“Responsible states must act, even if it means stepping ahead of others,” he remarked, signaling Slovenia’s willingness to take a stand for what it deems morally and legally right.
The Slovenian government said the decision was prompted by the European Union’s inability to adopt concrete measures on Israel.”

This is the kind of pure unadulterated evil – that the utterly oppressed Palestinian people are up against.
“An Israeli minister has rejected reports of famine in Gaza, contradicting UN agencies that warn the territory faces starvation under Israel’s aid blockade.
“There is no famine. There is no humanitarian disaster – there are also no innocents or uninvolved people,” Israeli minister Miri Regev write in a post on her X account on Thursday.”

Oh to see the little French coke head Macron – and his vile entourage standing in the dock at the Hague, alongside many other Zio-Monster aiders and abettors.
“More than a hundred French lawyers have filed a petition with the International Criminal Court, formally requesting the ICC to initiate an investigation or prosecution of some French officials for their complicity “in the commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide” by the Israeli regime against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
The 56-page petition made public by the French investigative media outlet Blast on Monday named President Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister Francois Bayrou, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu, and 19 lawmakers of the National Assembly’s European Affairs Committee as officials of the country facilitating Israeli crimes against Palestinians.
“Far from taking concrete measures to prevent the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians, the members of the French executive cited in this communication have continued to support the criminal actions” of Israel by “providing military, political, economic, diplomatic and propaganda support” including by providing the means to commit the crimes in question, the group of lawyers, who represent the Pour la Justice au Proche-Orient (“for justice in the Middle East”) organization, stated in the petition addressed to the Office of the ICC Prosecutor, in the Hague.
The lawyers also slam France for refusing to respect the 2013 Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), ratified by Paris, which imposes an absolute ban on exporting weapons if they have knowledge the arms could be used to commit war crimes, despite several requests from legal groups and NGOs.”

Trump working against the UN – a body it no longer respects – as does a few other nations.
“According to a UN Relief and Works Agency report, the Israeli genocidal attacks have killed more than 300 UN staffers in Gaza—many alongside their families—and destroyed over 300 UN facilities, including 162 schools serving hundreds of thousands of children.
These attacks persisted despite the UN sharing coordinates with the Zionist regime to safeguard humanitarian sites. When the world body demanded independent investigations, Israel not only rejected scrutiny but escalated its brutal assaults.
Israel’s blockade has kept food, medicine, and fuel from entering the besieged and war-ravaged territory, leading to hundreds of thousands of children under the age of five malnourished and over a hundred dead from hunger. The regime has effectively weaponized aid against Palestinians in Gaza.
Palestinians, including doctors, nurses, journalists, and even UN staff, have been fainting due to hunger and exhaustion amid the illegal blockade. The UN exposed the regime for using starvation as a weapon of war—a strategy enabled by the US-backed ban on UNRWA, Gaza’s largest aid provider.
The ban was based on an unsubstantiated allegation that the agency has ties with the Gaza-based resistance movement, Hamas. Both the US and Israel insisted on their own distribution mechanism, the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, claiming that Hamas was stealing aid entering the besieged territory.
The GHF, instead of providing aid, became a new battleground for Zionists and Americans to kill Palestinians, rightly described as a “death trap” by the UN, human rights organizations, and Gazans.
The majority of the more than 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid were near the US-and Israel-backed GHF sites, as was stated by the UN human rights office on July 22.
Furthermore, the GHF set up only four sites—nowhere near enough compared to the about 400 sites UNRWA operated across the besieged territory. Internal US reports later admitted there was no proof of Hamas stealing aid, exposing the GHF as a cynical façade for collective punishment.
To make matters even more bitterly comical, Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar recently accused the UN of not distributing aid after the regime came under blistering international criticism.
The smear campaigns against UNRWA were the tip of the iceberg. The US was once UNRWA’s largest donor, providing $300 to $400 million a year; however, it paused its funding in January 2024.
In response, over 100 refugee and human rights organizations called on the US Congress to reinstate funding to UNRWA to ensure civilian protection and humanitarian relief in Gaza.
Nevertheless, when President Trump returned to office in 2025, he not only extended the funding ban but also pulled the US out of the UN Human Rights Council, a move he had also pulled in his first term.
The battle against the international body only intensified with time. On July 9, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions against the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.
Earlier that day, Albanese had condemned three European countries, Italy, France, and Greece, as State Parties to the ICC, for disregarding their legal obligations of arresting and surrendering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
They had granted Netanyahu permission to use their airspace when he travelled to the US despite him facing an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza.”
Back in 2024, the Israeli regime had also banned Albanese from entering the occupied Palestinian territories, using its famous go-to “antisemitism” excuse. Denying special rapporteurs entry was not something new, as the regime has been doing it since 2008, according to Albanese herself.
The US and Israel’s contempt for international law reached its climax in their refusal to cooperate with the genocide case of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the UN. The US has also vetoed multiple UNSC resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. In July 2025, both boycotted a conference at the UN that would urge the world to work towards a two-state solution.”

More news on Chris Smalls, coming this time from Sabby Sabs show (of Boston) 2 days ago with Max Blumenthal as a guest. Sabby reports on a notification from Freedom Flotilla Coalition, during the time when Chris Smalls was on hunger strike, that said Smalls had experienced a level of force not used on any other Flotilla members. Smalls was physically assaulted by 6 members of Israeli special police force that kicked him in the legs and choked him and police continued to surround him only doing meetings with Flotilla lawyer. Regarding Israelis’ level of racism Max Blumenthal noted that, “wasn’t it Cornell West who once said Israel was a ‘global George Zimmerman?'” Blumenthal recounted -about treatment of Ethiopian Jews -that once when they had protested against living conditions, “the skunk truck was brought in and they were sprayed with chemical waste water.”
Max suggested that, Smalls having come to Israel with no intention to do anything to Israel, a law suit could be brought that could challenge the entire occupation of Palestine, if a judge were to issue a ruling on the treatment of flotillas, that could open up the possibility of more lawsuits charging Israel with abusing American citizens.

Left-versus-right is so twentieth century! The Gaza Holocaust is forefront among historical consequences which have shredded that relatively trivial distinction: ye olde red-v-blue toodeloo, going down the drain. Here’s another example. Amy Goodman featured a remarkable guest a couple of days ago: Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar, relating his experience with the Gaza Holocaust Foundation.
https://www.democracynow.org/2025/7/29/anthony_aguilar_ghf_war_crimes
Aguilar’s perspective is uniquely authoritative, given his 25 years of experience in every hotspot you can think of. Amy gets kudos for handing this guy the mic, whatever you think of her. But DemocracyNow! has limited distribution. I was hoping someone else would take up Aguilar’s story, but expecting the usual willful ignorance from USA’s Zionist-controlled media.
Then Tucker handed the mic to the Colonel. For an hour and a half. In depth and out from under the smothering silencing of Hasbara hysteria. God bless Tucker. I can’t believe I’m saying that. I watched it from Larry Johnson’s site. Keep a kleenex box handy. Aguilar’s testimony is an emotional experience.

It is reasonable to question whether any state on the planet recognizes Palestine. For what they recognize is the thoroughly illegitimate Palestinian Authority (which btw is a corrupt kapo for the interests of the equally illegitimate occupation), not the actual elected government of Palestine, which was dissolved — also illegitimately — by Mahmoud Abbas and replaced with his henchmen without as much as a pretext of desiring to hold new elections.

Thanks to the Jew Plagued and Sychronised Western MSM, the World has ‘forgotten’ that, in the early Noughties, an election in Gaza elected Hamas as the political party representing the interests of the people of Gaza.
The Jew Plague immediately rounded up all of the elected Gaza politicians, jailed them in “Israel” without charge or trial, and declared Hamas a ter’rist organisation.
The only way to eliminate ter’rism from Palestine is to eliminate the Jew Plague.
Fortunately, in June this year the Genocide Jews foolishly invited Iran to take a sincere interest in eliminating the Jew Plague from the Middle East. Iran has generously decided to allow the Jew Plague to decide when its destruction/departure will occur.

Witkoff and Huckabee went to a GHF site yesterday. Here is the sanitizing that took place. Note that the Palestinians who lined up at that particular site (they only visited one site) were families related to or backing Abu Shabab, the gang leader who steals food to re-sell to the starving Palestinians who can afford it. Shabab is backed by Israel and guarded by the IDF while he steals aid.
—————-
Steve Witkoff arrived in the morning at the American-run facility, where the area had been staged and sanitized the blood of those who were injured or killed in previous days while seeking aid buried beneath the surface.
Tanks and snipers were pulled back, and tens of thousands of desperate aid seekers were excluded, replaced by a small number of families linked to Yasser Abu Shabab, who entered yesterday through Mirage to take part in this absurd, theatrical display one that the world sees right through.

Huckabee praised the GHF, which took over Gaza’s aid distribution in May, for what he claimed were more than one million meal deliveries per day.
As we’ve reported, Israeli forces have shot and killed more than 1,300 desperately hungry Palestinians seeking aid near the GHF sites or their distribution routes.
Humanitarian officials say the amount of aid distributed at GHF-run sites falls far short of what’s needed to stem growing starvation in the strip.

“Testimonies of the Aid Massacres: This is How the Enemy Tricks Gazan Society
Youssef Fares, Palestine
Friday, August 1, 2025
Israel is imposing a systematic starvation regime on Gaza, turning aid into a tool of oppression and chaos, through which it reshapes the social structure under oppression and murder.
Gaza | Hundreds of thousands of starving people in the Gaza Strip walk about 7 kilometers to reach the Zikim military base, far north of the city of Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, where aid trucks loaded with flour are stopped a few meters away from occupation soldiers and military vehicles. To obtain a 25-kilogram bag of flour, one must reach a place where occupation soldiers commit massacre after massacre every day.
Amid the sand dunes and heavy traffic, Al-Akhbar met with citizen Mohammed al-Salibi, a young man in his thirties, who was awarded a bag of flour after a battle of pushing and fighting that saw some young men stabbing others. As for why, al-Salibi, who used to work as a government teacher, answered that “the occupation soldiers deliberately allow only one or two trucks to enter, and the exhausted crowds rush to get what they can. The available quantity is much less than the number of those requesting flour. Two trucks for more than 200,000 people.”
Fighting is the logical consequence of chaos and disorder in such a situation. Whoever dares to take risks and abandon their behavioral discipline will return to their children with bread, while whoever hesitates will return with regret.
The dangers surrounding the adventure do not stop there. A single moment when a soldier decides he feels threatened gives him the green light to commit a massacre, without consulting higher command. This happened yesterday, as Ahmed Muqdad, who witnessed the incident and miraculously survived, recounts: “Thousands of young men rushed toward the trucks, and a limited number of them overtook the enemy vehicles. The massacre began when the soldiers fired hundreds of volleys of bullets at us. We were trapped for hours in holes and behind sand dunes. Hundreds were martyred and wounded. The soldiers were simply hunting us like ducks. They were competing in sniping. Perhaps they were betting on their skill and ability. We miraculously survived, returned with regret and fear, and we did not receive any flour.”
According to statistics from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, 53 citizens were killed yesterday and approximately 200 others were injured by live ammunition in the upper body while trying to obtain aid.
This haphazard mechanism, which the occupation army and international institutions agree to call “self-distribution,” along with the airdrops and American death traps, constitutes the trinity of Israel’s shift to minimally improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza and thus achieve the goal of “removing the starvation card from Hamas’s hand,” especially after the global uproar sparked by the famine in Gaza.
The immediate need for livelihood has become a pressing factor that dissolves moral and legal boundaries.
In this context, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on countries to carry out airdrops over the Gaza Strip. The limited airdrops carried out by Egypt, Jordan, and Israel over the past few days have been nothing more than a show. The cargo load of five airlift planes is less than the amount carried by a single truck. Furthermore, most of the airdrops carried out over the past week landed in dangerous areas classified as red, inaccessible to anyone. One of the airdrops in the western Gaza Strip injured several displaced people, who are sheltering hundreds of thousands of people in densely packed tents.
The objectives of the aid distribution mechanism imposed by Israel go beyond the alleged fears of Hamas’s control. In reality, it is being used to reengineer social strata and place them under the most extreme levels of pressure in the struggle for survival, ensuring the destruction of their behavior and values. In this context, human rights activist Abdullah Sharshara believes that “the occupation army is exploiting the conditions created by two years of war, represented by the absence of an effective government and the state of sovereignty vacuum, to build criminal gangs and organized theft. Indeed, the occupation army has used facilitating the theft of aid to build agent security phenomena, as happened with Yasser Abu Shabab’s group, which received funding estimated at hundreds of millions of shekels between May and December 2024, with indirect support from the occupation, through the theft of hundreds of trucks. Furthermore, aid trucks have recently become the primary source of goods in Gaza, where the trade in aid has become a huge market employing hundreds of thousands of individuals. This market requires a constant flow of goods, which leads to widespread random and individual looting to feed the market and sustain the trade process. Every market needs a commodity, and aid is the only source of goods.”
Sharshara continues, “The occupation army forces truck drivers to stop in crowded areas and prevents trucks from reaching UNRWA and international organization warehouses, perpetuating the chaos. Many individuals find themselves forced to engage in looting or plunder to obtain food. Here, immediate livelihood needs become a pressing factor that dissolves moral and legal boundaries.”
Thus, the occupation is restructuring the social classes in the Gaza Strip by excluding elites from the public sphere, either through assassination or forced displacement. In parallel, the security forces are being neutralized, and the infrastructure of civil society and the private sector is being destroyed, creating a vacuum in the various power structures.
In this context, Sharshara says: “There was a large class of unemployed in Gaza, especially among the youth—exceeding 49% before the war—as a social bloc capable of being reshaped. They feel stifled by marginalization and are angry at the regime and its repercussions. These youth have a greater capacity for adaptation and adjustment. The war economy has enabled them to integrate into a new system based not on work and production, but on opportunistic accumulation and plunder. This class has transformed from a marginalized position to a central actor in the post-war landscape. Its concepts of morality, legitimacy, and success were re-emerged, with the destruction of institutions that framed and controlled collective behavior—such as schools, mosques, political organizations, civil society, and the judiciary—and the erosion of traditional moral references. Morality no longer stemmed from a stable collective consciousness, but rather became absent in a chaotic reality.”

“You and your photographer friend didn’t take flour and didn’t buy it.. Where are you going to get it from? asked Ahmed, a young man whose back arched on the way back! The truth is that we buy from the black market at the high price it offers. Yesterday, our colleague Bashir Abu Shaar expressed our situation in his post: “We spent lawful money to buy from bastards.” But in the end, the livelihood of the profession covers us. But what about those who can’t go to the aid trucks to take it by force of muscle: the wives of martyrs and the elderly whose entire families were martyred. Who would be proud of such a humiliated position!
What about the doctors, nurses, paramedics, emergency personnel, and civil defense personnel? These people who haven’t received a single penny for months and are still at work?
This randomness in the distribution of aid is the ugly face of famine.

The Zo-Monsters won’t open the borders because they don’t want the correct amount of aid getting into Gaza.
The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has strongly criticized the failure of humanitarian operations to deliver food to starving civilians in the Gaza Strip. He called on the Israeli regime to reopen closed land crossings into Gaza to allow the unhindered passage of aid trucks.
As famine continues to claim lives across the besieged enclave, Philippe Lazzarini stated on Friday via a post on X (formerly Twitter) that UNRWA should be leading aid deliveries, given its capacity and long-standing experience in managing humanitarian relief operations efficiently.
In recent days, numerous airdrops have been carried out by the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt, and others in an attempt to ease the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in the besieged strip.
“Airdrops are at least 100 times more costly than trucks. Trucks carry twice as much aid as planes,” Lazzarini stated. “If there is political will to allow airdrops, which are highly costly, insufficient & inefficient, there should be similar political will to open the road crossings.”
Lazzarini warned that the people of Gaza were starving to death and the “only way to respond to the famine is to flood Gaza with assistance.”

“12 martyrs and more than 16 wounded arrived at Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza, after crowds of citizens were targeted while waiting for aid trucks in the Nabulsi area, southwest of Gaza. The incident is still ongoing.”

Re: MEE – How Karim Khan’s Israel War Crimes Probe Was Derailed By Threats, Leaks & Sex Claims

“I stand by my position that Karim Khan has been an obstacle to both accountability for Israeli criminals and justice for their Palestinian victims. It is in my view also a positive development that Khan is no longer involved with the ICC Palestine file.
The above notwithstanding, this detailed article in Middle East Eye is worth reading for the level of detail it provides about Israeli and US efforts both covert and overt to derail its work on Palestine.
It reflects the organising principle of the so-called rules-based international order: if an official, a rule, an institution, or indeed the order itself is unable to sustain Western and Israeli impunity, these are no longer fit for purpose and will be dismantled and destroyed without a second thought.”

In his recent interview with Dmitri Lascaris, Laith Marouf contradicted many of my assumptions about Lebanon.
Apparently the Israelis had alerted Lebanese local and military authorities about Laith’s presence in the far South of Lebanon. To me that would imply comprehensive GPS monitoring of mobiles in Israel’s neighbouring countries.
The big IT companies are up to their necks in the plan to create Greater Israel.
Secondly he told us that diversity of opinion and freedom.of speech is part of Lebanese life assumptions. Not many countries where that still happens.
Then he told us that he values every voice of Resistance, regardless of its political or religious affiliations.
That is mind-blowing to someone who is trapped in South Asian community in England that is intolerant of anybody or anything that differs from the village it came from.
His message was for all of us to be united in one common purpose of defeating Arab and Western Zionism.
That message has blown my mind, living in a blinkered society from Kashmir , Pakistan. What would it be like to live in a community that respects differences of nationality and opinion ?
The willinhness and ability of the British Muslim community to spy on new Muslims, in collaboration with the Police and MI5, is completely opposite to the teachings of Islam.
But here he is talking about a society in Lebanon that has probably never existed in Europe at any stage of its history, a society that respects privacy and individuality.
No wonder USUKIS hates West Asian Islam.

When the intel services of the west
try to catch a mole, they allways focus on some kind of psychological perfil. It depends on the ability of the catcher to identify the weaknesses of the subject than the character of the individual per se.
Many times, the targets are the most mouth and loud people because they’re very manipulable by the exaltation of his personality and the lack the character to refuse money. These are the first burned.
The second best chance are real islamist of low perfil, introverted, but focused in some religious fiction that make of them real maniacs. There are the best because they are discreet, methodical and very focused in the targets. The have a good rate of survival.
All the so called islam organizations are infested by agents who sirve Israel, Britain and USA. All of them kwow that the others know, and this the mutual game. Very usual.

The USUK intelligence services have mapped the Kazhar Poles perfectly, offering then a key to a fictional nirvana through genociding a chunk of West Asia they, the Brits, have fancied for a long time.
They’ve tried many times before, and will fail again this time.
