More documented deaths from starvation in Gaza City, where all food and medical supplies have been cut by the IDF.
Everyday yet another war crime.

When they say “October 7th”, you say 9/22 (“nine two two”).
Zios want to drop it all in Hamas’ lap.
The latest chapter in the theft of Palestine began 15 days earlier, on September 22, 2023.
Trump: “I have one thing to say: remember October 7, remember October 7.”
People have already forgotten 9/22 (“Nine Two Two”).
…See?
Oct 7th was a day of treachery and betrayal by Netanyahu when he killed as many Israelis as he could (Hannibal doctrine).
What happened fifteen days before Oct 7th?
Fifteen days before, on 9/22, Netanyahu gave a speech before the world in which he wiped Palestine from the map.
“Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated”, a quote scifi fans around the world are familiar with.
Together with wiping Palestine from the map, in his 9/22 speech he urged assimilation (as servants and the loss of their core identity).
Wearing his trademark smirk Netanyahu urged Palestinians to
“embrace Israel”.
“In various speeches [before Oct 7th], Smotrich presented Palestinians with three options: death; accepting a status below Jews without collective political rights (in biblical terms, the status of servants and slaves); or migration, whether forced or voluntary, facilitated by Israel through compensation and finding countries to receive Palestinians.”
“Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.”
Immediately after 9/22 Palestinians were shown definitively what Netanyahu’s “beneficent” assimilation would involve.
Nine days after wiping Palestine from the map, Oct 1st, Zionist settlers began to invade and defile the core of Palestinians’ identity –
the al Aqsa mosque. The settlers did this day after day after day until on Oct 7th when
the Palestinians answered with resistance.
On Oct 3rd/4th, in the midst of Netanyahu’s provocation, the infamous Rave Party was relocated to a location *just outside* (!) the Gaza walls,
AND (!) on the path to the IDF Re’im military base. The IDF knew the Re’im military base was Hamas’ prime target.
The Rave Party was relocated against the decision of the Gaza sector officers who had not permitted the party at that location because of security concerns.
In an unusual move (!), IDF divisional headquarters inserted themselves into the decision over the party location and ordered that it should be held.
The IDF had captured Hamas’ detailed battle plan so they knew Re’im was the prime target and the IDF knew Hamas would conduct their jailbreak on the Sabbath or a Jewish holiday as so many IDF soldiers were on leave. Israeli media estimates that 50% (!) of the IDF was on leave on Oct 7th because it was BOTH the Sabbath and a Jewish holiday.
ALSO, this relocation of the Rave party was done in the midst (!) of a major, major, major, intentional provocation, the wiping of Palestine off the map and the repeated defilement and invasion of the al Aqsa mosque.
How much of that does Trump remember?
Does he remember the arrival of the IDF Apache helicopters which blasted away at the Rave partygoers?
Hamas wanted Israeli hostages.
Netanyahu wanted as many Israeli casualties as he could create.
Netanyahu wants you to believe that history began on October 7th.
The theft of Palestine began decades ago.
And the latest chapter should be set at 9/22 not Oct 7th.
Say instead, 9/22 (“nine two two”)

Otto Penn 3 – Absolutely correct.
Remember there is testimony from IDF IAF Apache attack helo pilots of numerous strafing runs on the innocent fans at the Rave Concert.
In fact the pilots admitted returning to base to refuel and rearm their 20mm autocannons and missiles.
Hundreds of Rave Concert fans were slaughtered by the IDF that day…………in fact most of the Israeli civilian deaths were the result of IDF air strikes and tank fire…..
Many of the IDF combat deaths were female soldiers manning OP’s on the LOC. These OP’s were not hardened and the female soldiers were not sufficiently armed (few had working pistols and rifles – unbelievable as that sounds).
Remember also that the Bibi government allowed for the attacks on the Al Asqua Mosque days before the October 7th strike by the irregular troops of Hamas and PIJ.

Last night the CBC aired a documentary on the starvation in Gaza City.
It was horrific. One Palestinian teenager, a former soccer player starved to death because he had celiac disease, and since there was no beef or chicken available, he was unable to eat enough to sustain him.
Also citizens are afraid to go to food stations of the US Humanitarian group because they become target practice for IDF troops who use AI facial recognition tech to single out citizens for summary execution. People shot dead by IDF snipers while waiting in line for food.
Meanwhile the EU refuses to sanction Israel………..

I have read that the female border watchers – “female soldiers manning OP’s on the LOC” –
were unarmed. And no one can explain why.
Netanyahu put off meeting with the families of the female border watchers
for an entire year
and when he did finally meet them he had this unbelievable sh*t to say:
Netanyahu told the soldiers’ families that he only found out right now that they were posted on the Gaza border without being armed: “I just asked Roman [Roman Gofman – the prime minister’s military secretary]: ‘Were there weapons? No weapons?,’ now, just an hour and a half ago, and he said, ‘No.’ I said: ‘How can that be?'” One of the participants responded: “You mean to tell me that you didn’t know they weren’t armed? That’s a big problem in itself.”
[source 1 to follow]
ALSO, the intelligence observations the border watchers gathered and sent up the line of command
seemingly disappeared into a black hole. The female border watchers were warning their own families of an invasion and, according to Nuttyyahoo, those warnings weren’t heard because of a database collection problem.
At the meeting, the parents told Netanyahu about how their daughters had warned repeatedly of a Hamas invasion. The mother of one of the soldiers said that her daughter, who had just finished her training and had only served at the Nahal Oz base for a week, predicted what was about to happen.
“She came home to us and said: There’s going to be an invasion,” the mother said. “When did she tell you that?” Netanyahu asked, and the mother replied: “During the time she was there. She said it several times, in fact.”
Another woman at the meeting said, “For a month, they were telling us every day: ‘It’s trouble, they [Hamas] keep training.'” The prime minister asked her: “They told you that?” And another participant answered: “They told us, and we demand answers about this, immediately, not when the war ends.”
“All of this information, I’m stunned by what I’m hearing. I didn’t know they told you these things,” the prime minister said. “All of this material was supposed to have reached someplace that operates the systems, and it didn’t happen.” Netanyahu claimed to have discovered this information in a conversation with his son Avner.
“The amazing things that I discovered, it was because my son was in combat intelligence – He says to me: ‘Dad, this golden material, this pure gold from the spotters … I don’t know if it’s accurate, but you have to check it out. It’s not going into a database.'” To which one of the participants reacted: “Then what are the girls doing there? What did you do when he told you that?” And Netanyahu replied: “We’re dealing with it now, it didn’t happen beforehand.”
[source 2 to follow]
In the early morning hours of Oct 7th red flags were being set off by Hamas and an emergency meeting of the IDF generals took place. Red flag warnings and the female border watchers were not alerted,
nor was anyone at the Rave Party alerted.
In fact, according to a recent revelation by an IDF soldier, IDF border patrols around the Gaza wall
were cancelled following that early morning meeting of IDF generals.

Whoever this person is, she’s explaining perfectly why Elon Musk and other Ziobots are insulting Muslims and generating fear about them.
The goal is to create a parallel “cause” alongside the popular anger against Israel, in order to justify Israel and it’s crimes.

In response to a musician is going on about Muslims. That’s the next step in the Zionist rehabilitation project.
“At least they are not Muslims!”
It’s funny because very few people know anything factual about Islam and now it is a scapegoat for Christians and Jews.
Muslims get genocided and it is all their fault!!!
I spent much of my life as a Christian. Islam is what Christianity was meant to be. Jesus (AS) was a Muslim, he didn’t pray to himself. He didn’t drink his own blood or eat wafers symbolizing his body. He called the synagogues satanic and flipped the money lender’s tables.

Well, the world is an unfair place. It doesn’t help that many Muslims act like lowlife animals in Europe and the news media uses this to smear innocent Palestinians (who are just minding their own business in their own country) and garner sympathy for Israel.

Jesus was celibate; Mohammed married Aisha when she was 6, consummated the marriage when she was nine. (1)
Being a pedophile isn’t a good look for a proper Prophet in my humble opinion.
1.“The Prophet [ﷺ] married Aisha when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old.” – The revered Sahih al-Bukhari, 5134; Book 67, Hadith 70.May 28, 2022

I’m not asking for or expecting anything, certainly not fairness.
I reckon that the brown people taking over Europe is a consequence (fair turnabout) of centuries of looting and rape by Europe in the Global South.
I find American complaints about immigration hilarious, considering what they did to the Cree, Hawaiians, Filipinos, and Mexicans.
Chickens always come home to roost. The Zionists know that, which is why they have to commit genocide and not just conquer.

Colonialism is a system of theft.
The Europeans didn’t have to work. They went to other places and took their knowledge, resources, and gained slave labor.
That’s not tenable.
Did you know that Israel’s biggest export is diamonds?
Do you know how many diamond mines are in Occupied Palestine? Zero.
Europeans (who are now synonymous with Zionists) create very little. Much of what they have is loot, not invention or production.
So yeah, some Muslims treat Europe like a toilet. Why not? They smashed Syria, Libya, Iraq, etc.
What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Knowing what we know about Starmer – he’s an avid Zionism supporter, they’ll be kisses and cuddles all round, also there’s not a hope in hell the English PM will recognise a Palestinian state.
Israel’s president will visit London next Thursday just weeks before the UK is expected to recognise the state of Palestine at the UN general assembly, the Guardian understands.
Two sources have confirmed Isaac Herzog is expected to meet UK ministers and senior political figures – the first time a senior Israeli leader has been in Britain since the foreign secretary, David Lammy, met his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Sa’ar, on an unannounced visit in the spring.
However, any meeting between Herzog and Keir Starmer is likely to be hugely controversial within Labour amid the death, destruction and starvation wreaked by Israel’s war in Gaza. No 10 has not confirmed a meeting between Herzog and the prime minister.
Downing Street has previously indicated that the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, faces arrest if he travels to the UK after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for him over alleged war crimes in Gaza.”

From 16:
¨So yeah, some Muslims treat Europe like a toilet. Why not? They smashed Syria, Libya, Iraq, etc.¨
I agree with that.
As a Latin American, I believe that foreign powers—particularly from the U.S. and Europe—have historically contributed to many of our countries’ challenges. One example is the creation of banana republics, which stemmed from their economic and political interventions.

It won’t change until people can admit what they have done.
Right now, they invent stories and excuses by the minute. Humans are not good at accountability, but people from Western culture today are maybe the worst ever.
The native peoples will have the last word because colonialism (Zionism) weakens the people who do it.

Re: 9
Muslims before Mohammed?
Muslim traditions say that, at the time of the Islamic conquest, certain populations in the Syrian region did not need to convert to Islam because they were already Muslims. [Dorra-Haddad, Coran, prédication nazaréenne, in Proche-Orient Chrétien, N° 23, Jerusalem, 1973]
In the context of Caliphate history, it is impossible for them to have been Muslims before Muhammad began his work and Islam was introduced to them. The impossibility disappears in the Nazarene context: the three areas populated by Nazarenes were in Syria, and the Qorechites (Muhammad’s tribe) converted to Nazareneism lived in Palestine, where the main Qorechite chiefs owned agricultural property. The “already Muslim” populations were the Nazarenes. This means that the Qorechites who emigrated to Yathrib did not come from Mecca, but from these regions, and that their religion was not Islam, but Nazareneism.
During his lifetime, Mohammed was not the prophet of Islam, but the warlord head of the Nazarene church in Syria.

Israeli Drones Drop Grenades on UNIFIL Peacekeepers in Lebanon
https://news.antiwar.com/2025/09/03/israeli-drones-drop-grenades-on-unifil-peacekeepers-in-lebanon/
“…The incident has been described by UN offials as ‘one of the most serious attacks’ on UNIFIL personnel since the November [What] ceasefire. The IDF however insists it did not amount to deliberate targeting of them, even though they confirmed they dropped grenades on them believing them to be Hezbollah.
How such a mistake could’ve happened is not clear, as UNIFIL pointed out that they gave to the IDF advanced notice that they would be in the Marwahin area removing roadblocks that the IMF had previously set up near the village…”

The Longest War
Several on this site promote a conviction that the West is coming to an end. But it is not.
There is an insightful concept among historians of The Longest War. It discusses the 3250 year conflict between West and East.
The first conflict was the Trojan War around 1250 BC wherein the Greeks defeated the Trojans.
Later came Alexander’s conquest of Persia.
Then the Punic Wars wherein Rome defeated Carthage.
Eastern victories include the barbarian invasions of Europe, and the conquest of the exalted Mediterranean cultures by the Moslems.
The Crusades and the Moslem 800 year colonialization of Spain were Moslem victories.
The Age of Exploration was a string of victories by the West.
In all, there are some two dozen battles identified between West and East.
For the past two centuries or more, the West has been ascendant, owing to its scientific and academic pre-eminence.
The oil embargo of the 1970s was a recent victory by the East.
Perhaps the most successful Eastern combatants have been the Jews and their infiltration of the West. The neocons owe their creation to the Jew Leo Strauss and his Jewish students.
Israel presents itself as a Western nation, but Judaism is a profoundly Eastern thing.
Some would offer China as the rising champion of the East, but China is in a demographic tailspin. India does not seem to have the desire for conquest.
What the future holds is unknown. But the war between West and East will endure.

I don’t know why it is that the all the Islamophobes go on about Aisha. they get these “facts” off the hate-Islam web-sites, where the stories are cited out of context. It was common, in medieval Europe too, for women to be married off without choice, at a young age, to forge the the political alliances desired.
Note that Aisha herself wasn’t complaining. She had a great life, she led the Muslim army in battle, and did lots of things.

Frankly, people arguing about colonialism, Islamic takeovers, what religious figure did whenever are usually disinformation agents trying to steer discussion away from the genocide of Palestine and the crimes of Zionism.
None of this matters.
All that matters is israel is openly exterminating an entire population without repercussion, except from Yemen, some South American countries and some grassroots movements openly suppressed by their own governments.

Kansas just repeats one of the conspiracy theories that have sprouted like mushrooms ever since my history professor regrettably wrote a book with a theory that Islam wasn’t a religion till the end of the 7th century. Ever since then there have been endless theories from various nutters cherry-picking stories that suit their idea. all of which accept any old nonsense from a Christian source, who didn’t know what was going on in far-away Arabia, and suppose that it’s more reliable than the Muslim tradition. Even my history professor didn’t believe what she herself wrote; she did it, she sais, just to blow a raspberry at conventional historians. And here, years down the line, we have commenter kansas, who writes like he’s expecting the Rapture tomorrow, repeating a variation of the same theories 45 years later.

You’re right, but I’ve noticed recently an uptick in the number of American religious nuts who are writing on MoA. Never was the case before, but ever since Israel started on the road of a final solution of the Palestine problem, lots of American dispensationalists have jumped with their bizarre ideas.

I admire Abubaker and have tried to watch all his appearances on The Electronic Intifada sicne the start of this hell. He’s only 22 now. That reminds me, I want to mention that it is apparent that the Palestinians value education MUCH more highly than Americans or Israelis do. Watch any video of a Palestinian child or teen-ager and I guarantee you the language they use, even as run through a translation service, is of outstanding syntax, grammar, and maturity. The children of Palestine speak better than pretty much any adult in the US or Israel.
I just read a couple of days ago that the literacy rate in Palestine exceeded that in Israel by a long shot, until Israel blew up all the schools.
And the Arab poetry is like music.

Israel has lost any right to be part of the brotherhood of nations. It’s a vile, racist, genocidal, satanic, evil state that’s unredeemable because 90% of its people are for the ethnic cleansing/genocide of the Palestinians. Time for its downfall.

Nelson Mandela’s grandson is going to be on one of the boats in the big flotilla heading to Israel right now. I wonder how the world will react if Israel puts him into solitary confinement and tortures him as they threaten to do with all the people on the flotilla.
It shouldn’t matter who the person is – evil is wrong and always wrong – but it would surely catch the attention of even the US media to have this happen, and be one more stake into the heart of Israel’s dwindling reputation.
Nelson Mandela’s grandson says Palestinians suffering ‘worse form of apartheid’ than Black South Africans did.
Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Mandla Mandela, has said the hardship facing Palestinians under Israeli occupation exceeds even that suffered by Black South Africans during apartheid.
Speaking to the Reuters news agency on Wednesday, Mandela, 51, said “many of us that have visited the occupied territories in Palestine have only come back with one conclusion: That the Palestinians are experiencing a far worse form of apartheid than we ever experienced.
“We believe that the global community has to continue supporting the Palestinians, just as they stood side by side with us,” he added.
Mandela gave the comments as he prepared to board a flight to Tunisia to join the Global Sumud Flotilla, aimed to deliver food and humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
He is among 10 South African activists travelling with the flotilla, which includes dozens of boats and hundreds of people from 44 countries, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.
South Africa’s African National Congress said the flotilla’s mission “echoes our own struggle for liberation”.

Jesus was celibate; Mohammed married Aisha when she was 6, consummated the marriage when she was nine. (1)
Being a pedophile isn’t a good look for a proper Prophet in my humble opinion.
1.“The Prophet [ﷺ] married Aisha when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old.” – The revered Sahih al-Bukhari, 5134; Book 67, Hadith 70.May 28, 2022

Who says Jesus was celibate? Not the bible (it doesn’t say he was either). In fact, the bible indicates that Jesus was very intimate with Mary and Martha, in a way that was inappropriate for “just friends”.
Besides, if you’re going to judge Islam by its most scandalous pseudo-historical incidents, you should judge the Judaism/Christianity the same: judge not, lest ye be judged. Plenty of not-good-looks for prophets in the Judeo-Christian tradition, including worse-than-child-rape (while horrible, limited to just one person): genocide, mass murder, slavery, genital mutilation polygamy, rape, etc.
Side note, I always find it funny when westerners are horrified by female genital mutilation; but apparently are totally cool with Judeo-Christian-approved male genital mutilation.
Screw all the political and religious rulers, cut from the same cloth.

BREAKING: Israel Declares “Humanitarian Zone” in Khan Younis as Gaza City Assault Expands
The Israeli military today announced the creation of a so-called “humanitarian zone” in Khan Younis, where it told 1 million Palestinians in Gaza City to forcibly relocate.
➤ In a statement, the IDF said the designation comes “due to the expansion of the ground maneuver in Gaza City and the seizure of Hamas-affiliated strongholds.” The zone, it claimed, includes field hospitals, water desalination facilities, and food and medicine deliveries coordinated with the UN and international groups.
➤ The army also told Gaza City residents to evacuate via Al-Rashid Street to the Al-Mawasi area—already overcrowded with displaced families—describing it as a “humanitarian zone” where “better services” will be provided. “Seize the opportunity to move early, and join the thousands who have already relocated there,” the IDF said.
➤ The map released alongside the statement highlights hospitals, aid distribution centers, desalination plants, electricity lines, and crossings like Kerem Shalom. Israel cited renovation work at the European Hospital in Khan Younis as proof of improved medical services, though hospital authorities said it could take 6 months to be operational.
Human rights groups have repeatedly warned that these so-called “humanitarian zones” serve as a cover for forced displacement under fire, with residents corralled into overcrowded concentration camps lacking food, clean water, or protection from attack.

Complicated business. The US and its allies took 9 months to clear Mosul of 3000 jihadi vermin. Without the tunnel system that Hamas has built for the past 20 years. Gaza is a far bigger challenge. Not to mention the little detours that Israel contended with in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and of course the 12 day beat down of Iran. The biggest obstacle to total victory by Israel are its insufferable leftist fifth column traitors in the Israeli Supreme Court. But soon, they will also be smashed.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily
✨ Update from Gaza Soup Kitchen ✨ Hi friends, If you are new here, welcome! My name is Hani, co-founder of the Gaza Soup Kitchen. For those regulars, thank you ✊ Right now we have 7 kitchens running in and around Gaza City , 5 water trucks delivering fresh water every morning , and our health clinic is still seeing patients . Sadly, our classroom was bombed —but we’ve pivoted to something bigger: ✅ Delivered 4,250 food parcels so far Another 2,550 parcels ready to go In the middle area, we delivered 600 parcels and opened a new kitchen We keep showing up for hospitals with meals Each food parcel = 40–60 meals. It’s not just about helping one family—it feeds whole networks of relatives, neighbors, and displaced people. In doing this, we’re also showing the world (and the bad actors watching us) that you can give away a lot of food in Gaza without harming Palestinians. Our signage makes that crystal clear. One moving moment: we’ve been operating from inside an Orthodox and Catholic church (اتحاد الكنائس ) . Families shelter there, and they benefit from the food too. Our young team—many who had never met a Christian before—are learning about unity and friendship in real time. Feeding people from a church feels like something Jesus himself would have blessed. We hear the drones above us, and we know they don’t like what we’re doing. But we’ll keep feeding as long as we’re allowed. Our system works: families sign up on a link , we close it when full, assemble the food, and text pickup times. No chaos, no exploitation—just neighbors helping neighbors. Each distribution serves 500–1,000 people with dignity. You give us confidence , even as we worry for our team’s safety every single day. I am tired of asking for prayers… but somehow it’s still comforting to do so. Thank you for being with us. Together, we are saving lives, it’s not a slogan it’s our daily reality. —Hani & the Gaza Soup Kitchen team

Because the US has refused and/or revoked the visas of the Palestinians who were supposed to attend the meeting of the UN General Assembly in NY this month, I believe the date is Sept 22, the UN has decided to move the meeting to Geneva:
The United Nations General Assembly will convene its September session in Geneva instead of New York, following the United States’ refusal to grant entry visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and dozens of senior officials.
The relocation marks a rare institutional challenge to the host nation and reflects mounting global frustration over Washington’s obstruction of Palestinian participation amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza.
The U.S. State Department justified the visa denial on grounds of “national security,” accusing the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization of “undermining peace efforts” through legal appeals to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
These appeals include formal charges of genocide and apartheid against Israel, claims the U.S. argues breach diplomatic norms and politicize international legal forums.
The decision affects approximately 80 Palestinian officials, although the Palestinian Mission to the UN in New York will continue operating under a limited waiver.
The move has drawn sharp criticism from legal experts and international diplomats, who say it violates the 1947 UN Headquarters Agreement, which obligates the host country to facilitate access for all accredited delegations.
In 1988, the UN relocated its session to Geneva after the U.S. denied a visa to Yasser Arafat, then head of the PLO. The current relocation is similarly aimed at ensuring full Palestinian participation, particularly in a scheduled September 22 segment dedicated to Palestinian rights.[…]
Palestinian officials have denounced the U.S. action as a deliberate attempt to silence their voice at a time when Gaza faces mass displacement, starvation, and what UN experts have described as genocidal violence.
President Abbas is expected to address the Assembly in Geneva, where he will call for international protection, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty, and accountability for war crimes.
The Geneva session is expected to amplify calls for action under the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, which empowers the General Assembly to recommend collective measures when the Security Council is unable to act due to political obstruction or lack of consensus.
Advocacy groups are urging the UN to consider deploying international protection forces to Gaza and to suspend Israel’s privileges within the UN system until humanitarian access is restored.[…]
The Geneva gathering is expected to draw high-level delegations, legal experts, and civil society leaders, all converging to confront the worsening crisis and to chart a path forward for Palestinian self-determination.

Three Palestinian humanitarian groups have prepared material related to the genocide, ethnic cleansing, and starvation of Gaza. They participated in the ICC case against some of Israel’s top officials. The US response? No, the US did not sanction Israel or its leaders for committing genocide. The US sanctioned these Palestinian groups for giving their reports to the ICC. Unreal.
The U.S. State Department is facing heavy criticism after it announced on Thursday it is imposing sanctions on three major Palestinian human rights groups over their participation in the International Criminal Court’s case (ICC) against top Israeli officials.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he’s adding Al-Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) to the list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List,” as part of President Donald Trump’s executive order sanctioning the ICC.
The three groups are leading human rights organizations in the occupied Palestinian territories, operating out of the West Bank and Gaza. They have been instrumental in monitoring Israel’s genocide in Gaza and annexation of the West Bank, serving as a key voice of Palestinians amid Israel’s assaults. Sanctions could have a vast chilling effect on their work.
“These entities have directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute Israeli nationals, without Israel’s consent,” Rubio said. “We oppose the ICC’s politicized agenda, overreach, and disregard for the sovereignty of the United States and that of our allies.”
The groups decried the sanctions in a joint statement calling on states to pressure the U.S. to lift the sanctions. They noted that this is part of a longtime effort by Israel to silence Palestinian voices, by law or by force.
“Threatened by the impact and role of our advocacy, legal research, and documentation in exposing Israel’s ongoing international crimes, the United States has resorted to punishing individuals and organisations seeking to uphold the legal system upon which the international community was founded,” the groups said.
“The implications go beyond Palestine: by protecting Israel from accountability, they are dismantling the international legal order and undermining the possibility of justice for victims of grave crimes anywhere,” the groups went on. “But we will not give up nor be silenced. We will not bend to any State apparatus or system fuelled by violence and oppression.”
The sanctions come after the U.S. sanctioned another Palestinian human rights group, Addameer, which focuses on Palestinian prisoners’ rights, and UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese.
Rubio’s announcement was widely condemned. UN human rights chief Volker Türk said in a statement that the sanctions are “completely unacceptable.”[…]
A coalition of Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups, including major organizations like B’Tselem, called the sanctions “violent.”
“This is yet another move aimed at erasing fundamental norms of protecting human beings, designed to enable Israel to continue harming Palestinians without restraint,” the coalition said.
Other major international human rights organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International also denounced the Trump administration.[…]

Scotland’s parliament votes for boycott of Israel amid Gaza genocide
Press TV – September 5, 2025
Scotland’s Parliament has voted to impose an immediate and comprehensive boycott on Israel and companies connected to its genocide in Gaza.
The decision, which highlights Scotland’s solidarity with the Palestinian people, came on Thursday in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the besieged territory.
The motion to sanction Israel and affiliated entities was spearheaded by the Scottish Greens, who allege that the Israeli military actions in Gaza constitute genocide. Reports indicate that at least 64,231 Palestinians have died due to the genocide, and almost the entire population of Gaza has been displaced.
The amendment passed with 62 votes in favor and 31 against, calling on the Scottish and UK governments to implement a series of boycotts, divestment strategies, and sanctions aimed directly at Israel and companies deemed complicit in its genocide.
Support for the motion came from the Scottish Greens and the Scottish National Party (SNP), alongside a proposal introduced by External Affairs Secretary Angus Robertson that acknowledged the recognition of a Palestinian state. However, the Scottish Conservatives opposed the motion, while most Scottish Labour and Liberal Democrat MSPs chose to abstain. The Liberal Democrats notably shifted their voting stance to oppose the amendment’s language.
Scottish Green MSP Patrick Harvie, who introduced the motion, expressed hope that this vote could signal a change in the conversation surrounding Israel and encourage other European governments to adopt a stronger response to the humanitarian crisis. “Palestinians are being starved and massacred every day as part of a campaign of collective punishment and ethnic cleansing. It is our duty to act,” he stated in an interview with The National.
Harvie emphasized the importance of holding companies accountable for their involvement in the genocide, asserting, “If a company profits from apartheid and genocide, it should not be allowed to profit here in Scotland. This vote sets a precedent for action that I hope will inspire governments across Europe and beyond.”
First Minister John Swinney highlighted the Scottish government’s commitment to humanitarian support, announcing plans to block public funding for firms supplying weapons to Israel. He also pledged £400,000 toward the Children’s Operating Room to aid the Gaza Hope Field Readiness Centre in Scotland and assist in establishing a rapid-deployment field hospital within Gaza.
Additionally, Scotland plans to provide medical support for 20 children injured in Gaza, expected to arrive with their families in September, and to donate £600,000 to the UN’s humanitarian coordination office in Palestine.
Swinney underscored the urgent need for action, stating, “We are witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe of historic proportions. The world cannot wait for a final court ruling to take action. A genocide is unfolding, and recognizing this reality carries with it a responsibility to act. The people of Scotland expect nothing less.”

UK anti-genocide activists face dozens of terrorism charges
The Cradle | September 5, 2025
UK authorities charged six campaigners with 42 terrorism offenses on 3 September over their efforts to challenge the ban on Palestine Action.
They were released on bail the following day and placed under a strict curfew. Following hearings at Westminster Magistrates Court, the defendants, including former government lawyer Tim Crosland, were granted bail after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) requested they be held on remand.
Defend Our Juries (DOJ), the advocacy group to which the activists belong, said the judge’s decision prevented them from facing up to 18 months in custody due to court backlogs.
According to DOJ, the bail conditions include a tagged curfew between 7:00 am and 9:00 pm, a ban on contacting co-defendants, and a prohibition on supporting Palestine Action either “directly or indirectly.”
A DOJ spokesperson described the outcome as both relief and outrage. “We welcome the release of our key spokespeople and the judge’s decision to reject the CPS’s absurd attempt to remand them in prison for what could have been many months. However, the fact that they are now facing 42 charges between six of them and extraordinarily draconian bail conditions for hosting public Zoom calls is nothing short of a scandal.”
Police said the charges stem from an investigation led by the Counter Terrorism Command into allegations that the defendants coordinated protests and held 13 Zoom calls supporting Palestine Action.
Section 12 (2) of the Terrorism Act makes it a criminal offense to arrange a meeting in support of a proscribed organization, while Section 12 (3) criminalizes addressing such a meeting with the intent of encouraging support.
DOJ said the six were targeted by UK authorities when their homes were raided earlier this week, hours before they were due to announce details of a mass action planned for Saturday.
The group reported that homes were searched and the activists were held beyond the 24-hour custody limit before being charged.
The case follows the UK government’s 4 July decision to proscribe Palestine Action under anti-terror laws, a move triggered by an incident in which members broke into RAF Brize Norton and vandalized two military aircraft with paint and crowbars. The aircraft are reportedly linked to the genocidal war in Gaza and wider military operations across West Asia.
The designation equates the group with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, making public support for its activities punishable by up to 14 years in prison, a move strongly condemned by various groups and individuals as “grotesque,” “chilling,” and an “unprecedented legal overreach.”

Menz 75 – Just another indication, as JD Vance stated earlier, that the UK has become a full blown Orwellian state, censorship of all social media, arresting and jailing peaceful protesters…..
The forever war against the Palestinian people by the Zionist alliance must never challenged. Arresting these folks for peaceful protest and threatening them with 18 months of pre trial detention is Orwellian to the max….thanks again to the true fascist/socialist Yvette Cooper….former Home Secretary and the now Foreign Minister (OMG can you believe it – Sir Keir’s cabinet is a train wreck, cant wait for Nigel).

“Scotland’s Parliament has voted to impose an immediate and comprehensive boycott on Israel and companies connected to its genocide in Gaza.”
Menz (74).
Don’t be fooled by this, the Scottish administration has no powers to enforce anything meaningful against the Zionists, I think there are at least two-factories in Scotland – that supplies components to the Zionists that allows their missiles to bomb women and children in Gaza – apparently the leader of the Scottish administration Swinney, has paused funding for any firm with links to Israel via its Investment Bank, but increased public funding for munitions for Ukraine.
Swinney, the SNP and other parties at Holyrood, a captured parliament – are all in campaigning mode right now – because there’s an election next year, many SNP MSPs have been on jaunts to Israel paid for by the Israeli’s including the string puller Angus Robertson.
In this instance, its a case of politicians saying and doing just about anything to win your vote – Swinney has also been spouting shite about another indyref, the man’s a die-hard unionist, its all to con your vote out of you.

Daily Frank Herbert quote,
“If we cannot adjust our differences peacefully we are less than human.”
Really makes one think about if Zionists are human…
I think that they probably are not, who is and is not human was a core idea in many of Herbert’s books, not just in Dune.

######
The closest Islam has to a human authority will not be found in any Sunni country, most Sunni countries are heretical.
And, in Islam, there are no Popes.
God is the absolute only and final authority.
We know his commands and guidance from revelation.
Judeo-Christians have Popes and leaders who lead them to usury, fornication, and murder.
The Catholic Church waged multiple Crusades, and an Inquisition, not to mention Imperial colonialism for Europe, in Africa, South America, and Asia.
If only Christians followed God rather than men.

From yesterday:
“The Israeli army bombed the Mashtaha tower in Gaza City as part of an operation to destroy the city’s towers, claiming they had been turned into military sites, even though they were already full of displaced people.”
https://t.me/youseffares19/86486
“Avichay publishes a video showing dozens of multi-story buildings in Gaza and threatens to target them in the coming days, under the pretext that they are being used for military purposes, surveillance, and suspicious activities.
However, the truth is that these towers and buildings house hundreds of families and thousands of displaced people who are homeless.
We are facing a more brutal scenario, in which the city will be reduced to rubble and filled with blood, terror, and fear.”

https://t.me/youseffares19/86491
https://t.me/youseffares19/86490
“Statement issued by the management of Mashtaha Tower
The management of Mashtaha Tower categorically denies the lies spread by the Israeli occupation, and confirms that the tower, since its targeting last year, has been subject to strict supervision by the management, and only displaced civilians are allowed to enter. We also categorically confirm that the tower is free of any cameras or security equipment, and that all its floors are open and exposed and do not contain any scenes or light or heavy weapons.
In light of this heinous crime, we call on the international community and human rights organizations to condemn this barbaric targeting of innocent civilians, and we declare our intention to pursue the Israeli government in all legal and international forums, to demand financial compensation and hold accountable all those who issued and participated in the implementation of this heinous crime.

From yesterday:
“In Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, at the last accessible point, the displaced have already been displaced, while the homeowners cling to the last thread of hope that a miracle will happen to spare them the bitterness of the harsh moment of farewell, the moment they realize is the moment of embrace that will never return with the house, the neighborhood, and the memories!
I saw the broken eyes and bewilderment in all faces, but the cruelest of all, is that the residents are forced to break the fine furniture of the house because they are unable to carry it to the place of displacement, the new bedroom set for the newlyweds, the bed for the firstborn, the luxurious dining table, everything is sold by the kilo to be burned, whatever your furniture, everything is weighed at 3 shekels per kilo, wood has a weight and the memories and regret that weigh down the heart, cannot be measured by scales

“After 700 days of war, the people who most feel what we are living are ashamed to communicate with us, unable to offer consolation, and do not possess the appropriate vocabulary that can match what we are experiencing. Despite their silence and their little talk, we feel what is in their hearts, the psychological torment they are living with us.
I do not mean to belittle anyone, but I feel for those who are like us. I feel their sincere helplessness, and I learned of their constant hidden charity with the intention of praying for their loved ones in Gaza for safety and relief.
I mention these people because there are many climbers, supporters, and riders of our wave of blood: makers of popular content, those who find it easy to classify and describe us while we are dying, and those who look at us and write for us daily quotes of steadfastness and silent acceptance of fate and destiny from their soft beds.

Last night, Israeli occupation aircraft targeted a house for the family of citizen Youssef Saeed Shaaban in Bir al-Naja neighborhood, west of Jabalia, which was sheltering a displaced family, the family of citizen Ismail Awad Thari.
The targeting led to the *rising of 15 martyrs* so far, including:
– *9 martyrs from the displaced Thari family*
– *6 martyrs from the Shaaban family*, the owner of the house.
Until now, the citizens have not been able to recover all the martyrs, as *only 4 martyrs* have been recovered from under the rubble, including children.

Military Defeat is the only thing that will stop this.
History is clear.
The Khamer Rouge were routed by
the Vietnamese Army in 1975. That stopped the killing fields in Kampuchia.
Military Defeat in 1945 stopped the Nazis.
Israel needs a Serious, Military Defeat.
Iran is the one to open that can of Whoop Ass.
Countries that engage in genocide internally or who prevail in War are never stopped until their objectives are met or exceeded.
If at all.
