More “collateral damage” from a U.S. protest over Gaza:
EGYPTIAN OFFICIALS IN NEW YORK BEAT TWO GAZA PROTESTERS ON VIDEO. THE NYPD ARRESTED THE PROTESTERS.
The protesters’ parents said the officials beat their sons with chains at Egypt’s U.N. mission. The NYPD arrested the brothers for assault.
link to Intercept.com article.

EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES wielding a chain and stick detained and assaulted a 22-year-old man and his 15-year-old brother at the Egyptian Mission to the United Nations during a pro-Palestine protest in New York on Wednesday, the brothers’ parents told The Intercept. The New York City Police Department then arrested the two brothers on assault charges, and strangulation for the younger one, according to their parents and an NYPD spokesperson.

God damn the fucking motherfucking Egyptians here.
I don’t know exactly why this happened. But my gut instinct tells me it’s the absolute corruption of these Arabs towards those protesting against the ongoing slaughter/genocide, which anyone with 1/10th a brain knows is happening.
God damn those fucking Muslim pigs, who won’t lift a finger to help their suffering brethren/sistren in Gaza!
God damn them! Enough of the blaming “white people” for what’s happening in Gaza!
If those god-damn Islamic nations had any balls—any courage—any humanity whatsoever, they’d be doing something to help their co-religionists. Something. Anything.
Instead they’re aliging themslelves with the Evil Empire, actively throwing their lot in with the stronger of the combatants.
Fuck them! Fuck their cowardly Islamic motherfucking souls!
If they won’t come to the aid of their natural compatriots, the Palestinians, who will?
This for me only reinforces the rapidly declining basis for the continuation of the human species. If this is the best we can come up with, then we—the entire human species—so richly deserve the ultimate doom that greets us …

“Iran will prevent the creation of an American corridor in the Caucasus region no matter whether Moscow will join Tehran or not”
Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, emphasized that the Caucasus has historically functioned as a strategic security buffer for Iran
In a post on his twitter, Velayati referred to Quranic references to Dhul-Qarnayn, noting that prominent scholars such as Allameh Tabatabaei have identified this figure with Cyrus the Great
According to the writings of Greek historian and geographer Herodotus, Cyrus established fortifications in the Caucasus region to shield Iran from the incursions of nomadic tribes, thereby reinforcing the area’s enduring role as a protective frontier
Velayati dismissed the idea of the so-called Zangezur corridor that is designed to link the Republic of Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan, warning that the implementation of the corridor plan will jeopardize the security of South Caucasus

Threads of prophecy begin to draw together.

So riddle us this, Dumbass:
Why has Islam, by and large in the aggregate (Egypt, Saudi Arabia (and no, they’re not “crypto-Jews!”), Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, et al), not lifted one god-damned fucking finger to save the Palestinians?
I don’t know enough about their history to say this with certainty, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s not just oppression from outside, colonization, that’s the culprit here:
I think there’s an inherent corruption in Arabic cultures that’s responsible for this.

Many have never experienced this, but we Yemenis have experienced it many times. We have witnessed fire, smoke, destruction, and blood. We have lived through many years of bombardment in order to defend ourselves. What happened today in my city, Sana’a, was not only to defend ourselves but also to defend our brothers, our sanctities, and our honor.
Today, we are being bombed for a cause that is both noble and great. We have not surrendered, nor have we submitted, when we were merely defending Yemen and our beliefs. For this reason, we will never surrender today while we are defending humanity, childhood, truth, noble morals, freedom, and sublime principles.
We will not let down everything beautiful, no matter what the criminals do.

@ George the Zeroth | Aug 25 2025 6:27 utc | 109
“I think” you say — to preface a completely incoherent non-thought. This “inherent corruption in Arabic cultures” — the object of your accusation — is perfect nonsense in every word. Presumably you mean to imply a special level of “inherent corruption” over and above the dysfunction plaguing all societies — special to countries where Arabic is spoken, for some reason. At any rate, Islam isn’t the problem here (whew!), only the Arabic language…
Such infantile, ill-framed, ill-thought nonsense is impossible to refute, simply because there is no there there (as Gertrude said of my beloved Oakland).

Israel is going berserk in its latest killing spree. They must have taken Trump’s advice to “get it done quickly”. Someone mentioned above about the two brothers in NY who were beaten by Egyptian security at the Egyptian embassy. The BOYS were arrested for assault, despite the fact that the incident was filmed through the glass doors, and clearly the guards were chain-choking and beating the helpless boys.

There was a bombing at the Nassar Hospital in Khan Younis. The latest number of killed is 20. Info as follows, and note that some of the journalists worked for western media:

Press Release No. (945) issued by the Government Media Office:*
⛔*The number of martyred journalists has risen to 244 journalists after the announcement of the martyrdom of four journalists in the targeting of Nasser Hospital*
The number of martyred journalists has risen to (244 martyred journalists) since the beginning of the war of genocide on the Gaza Strip, after the announcement of the martyrdom of fellow journalists:
*Martyr journalist/ Hossam Al-Masry*
, who worked as a photojournalist with Reuters news agency.
🎙*Martyr journalist/Mohamed Salama*
, who worked as a photojournalist with Al Jazeera Channel
🎙*Martyr journalist/Maryam Abu Daqqa*
, who worked as a journalist with several media outlets, including Independent Arabia and AP.
🎙*Martyr journalist/ Moaz Abu Taha*
, who worked as a journalist for the American NBC network
. Fellow journalists were martyred when the “Israeli” occupation committed a horrific crime by bombing a group of journalists who were on a reporting assignment at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis Governorate (southern Gaza Strip). This crime claimed the lives of many martyrs.
Update: Re: Above
15 martyrs and wounded, including civil defense personnel and 4 journalists, as a result of the occupation forces’ bombing of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
Update: Re: Above
The fifth martyr of the press massacre at Nasser Hospital, fellow journalist Ahmed Aziz, is added to the long list of martyrs of truth, 245 colleagues.
Update: Re: Above: Number of dead has risen to 20.
The occupation targeted them live on air during the final moments of the martyred journalists, Mohammed Salama, Moaz Abu Taha, and Mariam Abu Daqqa, while they were covering the first bombing of the Nasser Medical Complex.
Follow-up | Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor :
– The Israeli occupation army killed this morning a doctor, five journalists, and a civil defense member in a double raid inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.[ Double raid: they dropped a second bomb as people were trying to react to the first bomb. – Teri]
– This complex crime constitutes a calculated trap to target rescue teams and journalists, silence witnesses, and undermine the survival chances of Palestinians.
– Our field team monitored an Israeli drone flying at a very low altitude over the Nasser Medical Complex before targeting the site.
– The attack was not random, but rather deliberate and carried out with precise intelligence guidance that included detailed information about the nature of the targeted location and the identities of the victims.
– This pattern does not constitute an isolated incident, but rather a repeated and documented Israeli policy in multiple locations during the genocide.
– What happened is a multi-component crime, as the army targeted a protected medical facility, killed a doctor and journalists while carrying out their duties, targeted patients while trying to treat them, and killed and injured civil defense members while carrying out their rescue duties.

The Palestinians who “disappeared” from the aid sites were taken to prisons or killed. Testimony from teenagers abducted and taken to prison; this is not the entire article:

Palestinian teenagers kidnapped and imprisoned by Israeli occupation forces during the genocidal war on Gaza accused their jailers of torturing and sexually assaulting them in a report published Saturday by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
“They took me from the aid distribution site and transferred me to a hospital in Rafah, where I was interrogated for an hour,” one 16-year-old boy identified by his first name Sami, who was abducted on June 29, told ABC. “They stripped me and conducted a body search. Then, they loaded me into a jeep and transported me to a prison in Israel.”
“During the interrogations, they tortured us—handcuffing us, beating us with sticks, and using electric shocks,” the teen continued. “They did countless things to break us.”
“I was tortured for a week until I lost all sense of time and awareness,” Sami said. “They put me in a one-square-meter cell, where I spent the entire week. I never saw daylight, never stepped outside. They only came to deliver food.”
“They asked if I knew anyone from Hamas, and whether I had crossed over on October 7,” Sami recounted. “They kept pressing me about who I knew and who I had seen. I told them I was just walking down the street—I didn’t know anything.”
“They would beat me. Each person that talked to me would beat me,” the teen alleged. “I was handcuffed, blindfolded, and they put electricity in my legs.”
Mahmoud, age 17, said that his Israeli abductors “began hurling insults, cursing at us, and accusing us of being with Hamas.”
“They stripped us of our clothes and took us to Kerem Shalom, completely naked, with nothing,” he continued. “There, the beatings and torture began.”
“The Israeli women soldiers beat us. They stripped us and ‘played’ here, and here, and there,” Mahmoud said, indicating his genitals. “They beat us with sticks. Got on us while we were lying on the ground. We were handcuffed like that and naked.”
Mahmoud said his captors wanted to humiliate him and other teenage boys in custody, accusing the troops of taking nude photos of them and sending female soldiers to mock and touch his body—an especially shameful ordeal for Muslims. […]. “I was tortured, we are children,” he added. “What have we done?”
ABC published photographs showing signs of torture on the teens’ bodies, including from shackling.[…]
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) categorically rejected the teens’ accusations, saying that “this includes allegations of electric shocks during interrogations, strip-searching detainees for humiliation purposes, or sexual assaults.” […]
Survivors of Israeli abuse have also accused their jailers of bringing Israeli civilians into detention centers and allowing them to watch and record prisoners being tortured.
Gazan doctor Khaled al-Sir told ABC that Sami and Mahmoud’s accounts mirrored his own abuse at the hands of Israeli soldiers who imprisoned him for six months last year.
“I witnessed many prisoners who were sexually assaulted using batons in their buttholes and also using the pepper spray over their private parts,” al-Sir alleged, adding that there was an area of Sde Teiman that guards called the “hell section,” where abuse was particularly severe.
A pair of recent United Nations reports detailed sexual violence, including reproductive and gender-based crimes, perpetrated by Israeli soldiers against Palestinians. The UN has also reported rape and other sexual violence committed by Hamas militants against Israelis during the October 7, 2023 attack and against hostages kidnapped that day.
In January, Israel blocked a request from UN sex crimes experts to probe alleged sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas fighters during the October 7, 2023 attack, reportedly to avoid scrutiny of rapes and other abuses allegedly committed by Israeli forces against imprisoned Palestinians.

Netanyahu’s Office:
Israel appreciates the important step taken by the Lebanese government, headed by President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam.
The recent decision by the Lebanese cabinet to work toward the disarmament of Hezbollah by the end of 2025 was a fundamental decision.
This decision represents an opportunity for Lebanon to restore its sovereignty and rebuild its state, military, and governance institutions—without interference or influence from non-state actors.
If Lebanese security forces take steps to disarm Hezbollah, Israel will take reciprocal steps, including a gradual reduction of the IDF presence in coordination with the United States.
Now is the time for Israel and Lebanon to move forward in a spirit of cooperation, focused on the shared goal of disarming Hezbollah and promoting stability and prosperity in both countries.

“The enemy army offers ready-made justifications after every crime exposed by journalists’ cameras:
“There is a threat to our forces.”
This broken record could have been believed if 86% of the victims of the genocide hadn’t been civilians – according to an Israeli investigation – and if the number of martyred journalist colleagues hadn’t exceeded the total number of those killed in all modern wars, from World War I to World War II, to the wars on Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Ukraine. Israel deliberately and intentionally killed 245 journalists in order to silence the voice of truth. The targeting of journalists in Nasser Hospital was also intentional, but God’s will prevails, that the assassination will cause a greater scandal that will push him to this false apology. I know that this crime will not change anything about the reality of the situation in this corrupt and complicit world, but the blood of truth will always triumph over the intentions of the shells of lies and the dreams of the murderer.
Journalist Youssef Fares – Occupied Palestine”
In Iraq there was once a long media focus when a journalists was killed ‘because his camera appeared to be an anti-tank weapon’ , and a lot of criticism ….and now …. they don’t even pretend to invent an excuse, only take assassinations as an opportunity to lie.

The origin of me referring to Jane as “Genocide Jane” stems from her writing that the natives (Indians) in America should have moved when the settlers came.. . .

That should of course be “my referring”—“referring” being a gerund, IOW a noun, hence preceded by a possessive.

What a weasel. Now she says she doesn’t want to litigate my genocidal writings, and demands “take it to the open thread.” No, we’ll “take” it right here, where you recommenced your “Genocide Jane” shit flinging.
First, I do not see that I wrote, as BitchBass stated, “The natives (Indians) in America should have moved when the settlers came.”
This sentence appears to be a product of BitchBass’s own imagination.
Second, here is what I wrote, in response to a line of questioning by Siddharta, on the thread now referenced by BitchBass:

What’s your view on the genocide of the indigenous inhabitants of north America?
Posted by: Siddhartha | Feb 22 2024 1:11 utc | 247
==============
That is a very broad question. The history of North America is huge and various.
I am neither a historian nor an expert on genocide.
Still, I’ll try for an answer stemming from my reading.
In the phrase “the genocide of the indigenous inhabitants of North America” (but why only North America?) the word “genocide” means something different from its meaning in the Nazi/European or the current Israeli contexts. (Of course there have been other genocides on planet Earth besides these.)
In the North American context “genocide” seems to refer to a result, and only in a limited sense to an intention.
Some chapters of the encounter between Europeans and Native Americans (also don’t forget Latin America) seem to be clearly genocidal: The aim was to eradicate Indians.
There were many local wars in which both Europeans and Native Americans committed massacres.
However, the encounter between Europeans and Americans was not a black-white affair. Within Native groups the response to Europeans was not monolithic and different Native factions developed. The relations were often complex. It was not a good/evil situation. See, e.g., John Ehle, Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation (heavily documented with very interesting Cherokee documents quoted extensively); Ola Elizabeth Winslow, John Eliot: “Apostle to the Indians.” Many Native Americans were eager to learn from Europeans. Many were eager to get out from under the power of shamans and were strongly attracted to Christianity.
Native Americans of the South and West became entangled in the American Civil War, esp. after Removal from the Southeast to Arkansas and Missouri. This added a huge complication to their situation. See Trail of Tears and also Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., The Civil War in the American West.
The fact that many Native Americans died of disease and the consequences of displacement and the end effect was a reduction in the number of Native Americans (I don’t know any statistics on this) I think does not in itself meet the conditions to be called a genocide. Unless one adopts a different definition from the one that I think is current: a plan and execution of the plan to kill all members of a group.
To be sure, the phrase “trail of tears” has occurred to me in the Gaza context.
So, I think the general situation in North America might be characterized as ethnic cleansing and resultant deaths with some more specifically genocidal incidents and chapters. Personally I am not comfortable with the phrase “the genocide of the Native Americans”; people throw it around like a blunt instrument without stopping to think what they actually mean, or what it actually might mean.
As in Palestine, as in Eastern Europe, the ultimate driver in the treatment of Native Americans was lust for land. All attempts to draw lines (e.g., by the British) to prevent settlers from advancing into Native lands ultimately failed. The situation of the Native Americans was actually worse after the American Revolution than before, as all brakes on the land lust of new European settlers failed. The lust for land turned many Europeans into racists.

Why is it so difficult for you to admit that America was founded with ethnic cleansing?
It’s not a controversial take in 2025.

Uh-huh.
Nice try to change the subject.
You ordered me to the Open Thread.
Go there yourself, birdbrain.
As for my views on the genocide of Native Americans, what I put down in writing dwarfs any wordsmithing by you on the subject. Furthermore I have the respect for readers to document the sources of the views I express.
You, not so much.
You are a ranting joke: a self-appointed Grand Inquisitor who is also a mental and intellectual midget.

Via Journalist Ayman Hanideq
“Why are the workplaces of the other journalists killed in the bombing of Nasser Medical Complex not mentioned, while the focus is on the workplaces of those who work for Arab media outlets only, without mentioning the workplaces of the rest, all of whom work for foreign media outlets?
-The news is being spread in such a way that you only know where Mohamed Salama works as a photographer with Al Jazeera, while the rest of the colleagues are mentioned without their workplaces, in the following format:
-Journalists Hossam Al-Masry, Mariam Abu Daqqa, and Moaz Abu Taha were also martyred.
▪️The most important thing right now, people, is to mention that Hossam El-Masry is a photographer with Reuters. Please mention his place of work, because Reuters has sided with the Israeli narrative regarding the killing of journalists in Gaza, and there has been a protest within the agency.
▪️The most important thing is to mention that Mariam Abu Daqqa works with several international media outlets, including the Independent and AP. Mariam is not an anonymous journalist. Say she is with the Independent and AP.
▪️The most important thing is to mention that Moaz Abu Taha works with the American NBC network. They repeated the word American a thousand times.
-Using a news story that cites the martyrdom of the Al Jazeera cameraman alongside other journalists gives the impression that the Al Jazeera cameraman was the sole target. This is a formula that reassures other foreign media outlets whose journalists Israel is exterminating in Gaza. Most of these outlets do not like to see their names associated with the victims’ identities, in order to ease their biased consciences toward the perpetrator.

I fear we haven’t seen the worst yet.
The worse things become, the crazier Israel will behave.
The baseline for Zionists is already completely insane.
These “people” want to destroy the world to bring forth the Messiah. Billions dying.
That’s their plan.

Let us recall that according to some, up to one million of the Izzynazis currently exterminating Palestininans are dual Ruskie-Izzy “citizens.” . . .

IMO this is an important point.
I have long speculated that the influx of Soviet Jews strongly influenced Israeli society and politics in a negative direction (not that there was much to approve of, but it still was possible to add a new negative load).
I have gone back and forth with my Moscow penpal (we have been corresponding since well before the events in the Ukraine in November 2013) on Putin/Russia’s stance toward the Gaza genocide and the role of a possible fifth column in Russia exerting pressures similar to the Israel Lobby in the USA .
What he wrote most recently seems to confirm this view: “It is not easy to understand the Putin’s attitude to Russian/Jewish people with no loyalty to Russia. . . . there are many supporters of these people [Russian Jewish Zionists] among West-oriented officials in Russia, and Putin does not want to destabilize the political situation at home by taking radical actions against this group, which is called sometimes in Russia “The Sixth column.”
In addition it is quite possible that Russia will throw the Pals under the bus to achieve security on another portion of their borders. But to me it seems extremely shortsighted to ignore the larger danger of empowering a rabid Greater Israel, a potential challenger many of whose “citizens” hate Russia and are all in with the long-term Western Goal of dismembering and neutralizing Russia in all sorts of ways.

Can’t you read, birdbrain?
Or just can’t be bothered because you prefer to fling shit?
Or, perhaps you are on drugs.

Re 164 and the 1030 expulsions of the Jews: the site was not a Jewish site. It was a compilation by historians. The 1030 expulsions catalogued the granular details about expulsions cited from historical works.
The point is that the Jews have had more than a thousand severe run-ins with their hosts, mostly European Catholics. The catalogue is a criticism of Jews, not hosts.
