Today is October 5th, Trump’s seemingly arbitrary deadline. Posted by: Otto Penn | Oct 5 2025 12:51 utc | 3 Did anyone actually believe, including Donald Trump, that Israel wanted to stop before it finished ethnically cleansing Palestine?Israel is as Israel does. Posted by: Jane | Oct 5 2025 12:52 utc | 4 There is no ceasefire and there is no agreement. Trump said (last night?, early this morning?) that “when the ceasefire takes effect…” This is after saying more than 24 hours ago that Israel had to stop bombing immediately. Trump clearly has no intention of holding Israel to any “immediate ceasefire”. He is a craven liar and a tool. But we know this. This is the man who wants to use the military on his own people and admits he hates and will punish anyone who didn’t vote for him. (Which is odd, given that he won the election. Who cares now who did or did not vote for him? He’s in the White House.)

Death to America Posted by: All Under Heaven | Oct 5 2025 17:31 utc | 21 Hamas has begun to collect the hostages and has agreed to release all the live ones at the same time. It appears to be happening. Trump better get the Nobel Prize if he pulls this off. Posted by: Muhammed Z. | Oct 5 2025 17:44 utc | 22 This is who they are.
Posted by: teri | Oct 5 2025 17:44 utc | 23 For all those who still claim Israel is a mere tool of US Imperialism, the reality isn’t so clear cut. It’s not a defense of US Imperialism to recognize, it’s government and more importantly it’s entire ruling class is captured by the Zios.

The Bush speech comes to mind “your either with the terrorists or your with us”. They played it perfectly. They own both camps. Fiat money goes a long way especially when you own it.

Posted by: teri | Oct 5 2025 21:13 utc | 44 see the photo at the first link Posted by: michaelj72 | Oct 5 2025 21:41 utc | 45 It would be a good idea for MOAers to get a closeup view of the war ( Hamas field commander’s word for it from commander quoted by Justin Podur) as described by Hamas field commander: The brutality of Islamists and Zionists doesn’t derive from the religions of Judaism or Islam. It comes from the brutality of politics. Children are deliberately brutalised within all religions on order to turn them into useful oppressors and USUKIS has spent 25 brutalising Muslims in torture rendition prisons. Posted by: Giyane | Oct 5 2025 21:57 utc | 47 Continuing from post 46 above with words of Hamas field commander Sariah Alkudz: Anyone who thinks there was ever any question considered by Hamas of giving up arms read above post.

The enemy will not be safe in our beloved Gaza. Yes it can advance but at the cost of its presence is well-known to the criminal Zamir because amir is the chief of the army right now, the Israeli army.

Posted by: Menz | Oct 5 2025 22:54 utc | 54 maybe stop the fanatical religion aye. Giyann? Lets all look to our new saviour Charlie Kirk. Posted by: dobby | Oct 5 2025 22:56 utc | 55 Posted by: michaelj72 | Oct 5 2025 22:57 utc | 56 For Trump everything is the deal. Those who deal in deals respect those who will work a deal. Hamas and the Palestinian Resistance have indicated they will work the deal. The Israelis work nothing and don’t do deals. That would infuriate Trump because doing a deal means an ego boost and a win for him. And of course it would be. Anyone who rolls over and accepts an ultimatum as a deal would not be respected by Trump and of course the Palestinians are not stupid enough to do it. The Palestinians know their enemies well. They will work Trump and work with Trump to hopefully divide him and Naziyahoo which seems to be happening. The chances of these guys ever defending fellow Muslims are slim to none:

Posted by: Jane | Oct 5 2025 23:03 utc | 60 I’m posting a link to an article below here again today because there was no Palestine blog yesterday. Despite it being about the genocide of American Indians, it is in my opinion highly relevant to what we see going on in the GAZA.

As it is in my country with Aboriginal people.

Some say Britain gave authority for the Isrseli Occupation,, But Isrsel attacked the British. Now Trump is saying that the US gives authority for the genocide, but Israel will soon attack the US. Posted by: Giyane | Oct 6 2025 1:32 utc | 73 Posted by: GeorgeWendell | Oct 6 2025 1:28 utc | 73 73Posted by: GeorgeWendell | Oct 6 2025 1:28 utc | 73 Posted by: dobby | Oct 6 2025 1:38 utc | 74 @63 GeorgeWendell Throughout history are examples of atrocity, prehistory also. Convention in conflict is relatively recent, which is why current reality is so abhorent : Nations have become civilised , civilian. Meaning the agreed or understood structure is not to harm civilians. Now we have ‘our nations’ openly supporting the massacre of civilians. It is a return to more barbarous times, and it highlights the artificial veneer modern governance has become, which is fearful given government owns means of control by force of own population. There are also many historical examples of how fast circumstance can swing to an extreme. There is some cross over with US, some christianity sees itself as chosen (even amongst own) , biblical homeland is sometimes a theme, evangelicals have endtime beliefs…tbis is hardly present in europe. The US does not work along British lines either, I have always found UK subordinated, losing if you like, though at higher levels who knows what goes on and why. Most of europe politics is completely corrupt via EU. At its simplest though, USians took the US (as europeans or whatever flavour suits anyone’s position) . “I don’t think most Americans think about its own genocidal history at all” Malenkov is a good example. Meaning laissez-faire , not in a position to judge, normalised in a sense, ‘whatever”, real estate, modern wild west even. The european reality (colonialism) on the other hand is historical, part redeemed but also folded into the new ‘civilian reality’ I mention at start. I don’t say it is correct, it to a degree leaves former colonies to deal with their new independence as well as recuperation (including those that hold a western majority). However most european nations are still just their own people on their own historical landscape, and so do not think like USians with regards to what is occuring, they object much more, much more openly. I would phrase all that better and give better examples but it is late. At least it gives some kind of perspective for anyone to argue against. I don’t think tracing a line from the world several hundred years ago to zionism and current events is realistic though, in the sense that responsibility is now, with each individual as they act , under what organisation, and not due to ‘some collective history’ . And as always, it returns us to the questions of who is controlling / complicit with who, in the current setting. Posted by: Ornot | Oct 6 2025 1:40 utc | 75 Posted by: John Gilberts | Oct 6 2025 1:26 utc | 72 Posted by: GeorgeWendell | Oct 6 2025 1:46 utc | 76 Real passion can be found among the few American leftists (statistically irrelevant) and college-age types whose passion may be a mile long and an inch deep, if history is any judge. But the Christofascists are a powerful minority and very much in favor of anything “Israel” does. Posted by: Jane | Oct 6 2025 1:50 utc | 77 Posted by: GeorgeWendell | Oct 6 2025 1:28 utc | 73 Posted by: dobby | Oct 6 2025 1:51 utc | 78 but I wonder if it has anything to do with support for Israel beyond pure Zionism? . . .

Posted by: dobby | Oct 6 2025 2:15 utc | 86 Ornot: “‘I don’t think most Americans think about its own genocidal history at all.’ Malenkov is a good example. Posted by: malenkov | Oct 6 2025 2:36 utc | 87 “Ornot: “‘I don’t think most Americans think about its own genocidal history at all.’ Malenkov is a good example.” Posted by: ThouShalt | Oct 6 2025 2:48 utc | 89 “f’k em they don’t matter.” Posted by: GeorgeWendell | Oct 6 2025 2:59 utc | 91 I just realized that my post at #90 might be construed wrongly due to poor wording, so I should clarify it. Ornot is the one who never makes interesting posts while spamming with lots of unexplained links floodi g the zone. Malenkov’s posts are food for thought every single time.

It may not be the same experience for everyone whoever it may be. Everyone has a different point of view and is entitled to it, although I will admit that sometimes people are trolls or sock puppets that are not sincere in their authenticity or motives for writing stuff here.
