In first Christmas sermon, Pope Leo decries conditions for Palestinians in Gaza

Pope Leo decried conditions ‍for Palestinians in ‍Gaza in his Christmas sermon, in an unusually direct appeal during what is normally a solemn, spiritual service on the day Christians across the globe celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Leo, the first American ⁠pope, said the story of Jesus being born in a stable showed that God ​had “pitched his fragile tent” among the people of the world.
“How, then, ‍can we not think of the tents in Gaza, exposed for weeks to rain, wind and cold?” he asked.

 Christmas is not a Western story – it is a Palestinian one“Christmas is a story of empire, injustice and the vulnerability of ordinary people caught in its path. Every December, much of the Christian world enters a familiar cycle of celebration: carols, lights, decorated trees, consumer frenzy and the warm imagery of a snowy night. In the United States and Europe, public discourse often speaks of “Western Christian values”, or even the vague notion of “Judeo-Christian civilisation”. These phrases have become so common that many assume, almost automatically, that Christianity is inherently a Western religion — an expression of European culture, history and identity. Christianity is, and has always been, a West Asian / Middle Eastern religion. Its geography, culture, worldview and founding stories are rooted in this land — among peoples, languages and social structures that look far more like those in today’s Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Jordan than anything imagined in Europe. Even Judaism, invoked in the term “Judeo-Christian values”, is itself a thoroughly Middle Eastern phenomenon. The West received Christianity — it certainly did not give birth to it.And perhaps nothing reveals the distance between Christianity’s origins and its contemporary Western expression more starkly than Christmas — the birth story of a Palestinian Jew, a child of this land who was born long before modern borders and identities emerged. In the West, Christmas is a cultural marketplace. It is commercialised, romanticised and wrapped in layers of sentimentality. Lavish gift-giving overshadows any concern for the poor. The season has become a performance of abundance, nostalgia, and consumerism — a holiday stripped of its theological and moral core. Even the familiar lines of the Christmas song Silent Night obscure the true nature of the story: Jesus was not born into serenity but into upheaval.He was born under military occupation, to a family displaced by an imperial decree, in a region living under the shadow of violence. The holy family were forced to flee as refugees because the infants of Bethlehem, according to the Gospel narrative, were massacred by a fearful tyrant determined to preserve his reign. Sound familiar?Indeed, Christmas is a story of empire, injustice and the vulnerability of ordinary people caught in its path. For many in the West, Bethlehem – the birthplace of Jesus – is a place of imagination — a postcard from antiquity, frozen in time. The “little town” is remembered as a quaint village from scripture rather than a living, breathing city with actual people, with a distinct history and culture.Bethlehem today is surrounded by walls and checkpoints built by an occupier. Its residents live under a system of apartheid and fragmentation. Many feel cut off, not only from Jerusalem – which the occupier does not allow them to visit – but also from the global Christian imagination that venerates Bethlehem’s past while often ignoring its present. This sentiment also explains why so many in the West, while celebrating Christmas, care little about the Christians of Bethlehem. Even worse, many embrace theologies and political attitudes that erase or dismiss our presence entirely in order to support Israel, the empire of today.In these frameworks, ancient Bethlehem is cherished as a sacred idea, but modern Bethlehem — with its Palestinian Christians suffering and struggling to survive — is an inconvenient reality that needs to be ignored.This disconnect matters. When Western Christians forget that Bethlehem is real, they disconnect from their spiritual roots. And when they forget that Bethlehem is real, they also forget that the story of Christmas is real.They forget that it unfolded among a people who lived under empire, who faced displacement, who longed for justice, and who believed that God was not distant but among them. So what does Christmas look like when told from the perspective of the people who still live where it all began — the Palestinian Christians? What meaning does it hold for a tiny community that has preserved its faith for two millennia?At its heart, Christmas is the story of the solidarity of God.It is the story of God who does not rule from afar, but is present among the people and takes the side of those on the margins. The incarnation — the belief that God took on flesh — is not a metaphysical abstraction. It is a radical statement about where God chooses to dwell: in vulnerability, in poverty, among the occupied, among those with no power except the power of hope. In the Bethlehem story, God identifies not with emperors but with those suffering under empire — its victims. God comes not as a warrior but as an infant. God is present not in a palace but in a manger. This is divine solidarity in its most striking form: God joins the most vulnerable part of humanity.Christmas, then, is the proclamation of a God who confronts the logic of empire.For Palestinians today, this is not merely theology — it is lived experience. When we read the Christmas story, we recognise our own world: the census that forced Mary and Joseph to travel resembles the permits, checkpoints and bureaucratic controls that shape our daily lives today. The holy family’s flight resonates with the millions of refugees who have fled wars across our region. Herod’s violence echoes in the violence we see around us.Christmas is a Palestinian story par excellence. Bethlehem celebrates Christmas for the first time after two years without public festivities. It was painful yet necessary for us to cancel our celebrations; we had no choice.A genocide was unfolding in Gaza, and as people who still live in the homeland of Christmas, we could not pretend otherwise. We could not celebrate the birth of Jesus while children his age were being pulled dead from the rubble.Celebrating this season does not mean the war, the genocide, or the structures of apartheid have ended. People are still being killed. We are still besieged.Instead, our celebration is an act of resilience — a declaration that we are still here, that Bethlehem remains the capital of Christmas, and that the story this town tells must continue.At a time when Western political discourse increasingly weaponises Christianity as a marker of cultural identity — often excluding the very people among whom Christianity was born — it is vital to return to the roots of this story.This Christmas, our invitation to the global church — and to Western Christians in particular — is to remember where the story began. To remember that Bethlehem is not a myth but a place where people still live. If the Christian world is to honour the meaning of Christmas, it must turn its gaze to Bethlehem — not the imagined one, but the real one, a town whose people today still cry out for justice, dignity and peace.To remember Bethlehem is to remember that God stands with the oppressed — and that the followers of Jesus are called to do the same.”

Jesus wasn’t white either.
 
Daniel Lismore (@daniellismore): ” Saint George was not English. He never lived there. He never travelled there. He never imagined it. He was born in Cappadocia. Modern Türkiye. Eastern Roman Empire. Borderland heat. Dust. Trade routes. His mother was from Lydda in what is now Palestine. Levant soil. Levant people. He grew up between cultures. Greek spoken. Roman law. Middle Eastern life. His skin would not have been white. Not northern. Not pink. Olive to dark. Sun marked. Dark hair. Dark eyes. A body shaped by outdoor work and military service in the eastern empire. No marble skin. No medieval fantasy. No fog light. He was a Roman soldier. Infantry. Not a knight. No horse. No dragon. No helmet. The cross came centuries later. He refused to renounce Christianity under Diocletian. He refused paperwork. Refused obedience. Refused the state. He was tortured and beheaded. His body discarded. His father had already been killed for the same reason. This was a family of dissent. Christians inside a hostile empire. Minor aristocracy. Educated. Mobile. Dangerous to power because they would not comply. England adopted him late. Crusaders imported the cult. They liked the clean symbol. Warrior. Martyr. They stripped him of geography and colour and language. Turned a Middle Eastern man into a national logo. The cross of St George was not born English. Genoa used it. Byzantium used it. Crusaders carried it. England claimed it. His shrines sit closer to Gaza than Gloucester. His name was spoken in Arabic long before it was shouted in English streets. So here he is. A Middle Eastern man. Brown skinned. Not pink. Foreign born. Raised between cultures. Religious minority. Refused the state. Executed by authority. Migrant by story. Adopted only after death. Exactly the kind of man some of his loudest supporters would be protesting against if he tried to enter England today. The supporters of Reform UK. The crowd orbiting Tommy Robinson. While they wave his flag. While they chant his name. While Nigel Farage and Reform and Tommy tell their followers who to hate. They meet them in private Hotels, Back rooms, Boardrooms.. Tommy travel to the Middle East. Both talking business? ….” | nitter.poast.org

Four retired senior British Army officers have called on the UK government to enforce a full arms embargo on “Israel” and to ban involvement with Israeli-owned or Israeli-supported defense companies.
In a letter addressed to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, the officers warned that despite the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, “now is not the time to return to business as usual with the Israeli government.” They argued that existing sanctions against “Israel” should be strengthened and expanded.
The letter strongly disputed claims that the Israeli occupation forces follow procedures comparable to those of the British military. The former officers recommended that no IOF personnel participate in UK military courses, and that visits by British defense officials to “Israel” be suspended.

Christmas in Satellite City
 

Time to celebrate the birth
of He who died for our salvation
with holidays and mirth
plus genocide and starvation
 

If there was a Jesus
he’d be turning in his grave
to see the blackened hearts of those
whose souls he died to save
 

No pity for the mothers
whose aching arms embrace
the limp and lifeless bodies
of children wantonly erased
 

When it’s time to meet your Maker
what excuse could you provide
for allowing this to happen
with your silence you abide

“The most pronounced deterioration was recorded among Generation Z respondents – particularly in Western countries – where Israel ranked last and was widely perceived as a colonial or illegitimate state. Researchers noted that distinctions between Israeli government policy and the diversity of views within Israeli society have largely disappeared in global perception.”

They stir the conscience and invite deep reflection on the contemporary  way of life, of being, of thinking and seeing, especially in the white trans-Atlantic part of the world and its far flung outposts. How alienated the so readily copied western way of life has become. from the essence of being human.

The slaughter rages on no matter what day it is – as Perfidious Albion plays its part.
 
 
“Despite the declared end of the war on the Gaza Strip under the agreement signed in October 2025, thousands of Palestinians continue to live in a state of forced displacement.
They are unable to return to homes or land which now lie beyond what is known as the “Yellow Line”.
This line, which has swallowed more than half of Gaza’s territory, has become a symbol of a new phase of war, one that continues silently, away from cameras.
Meanwhile, British troops are supposed to be monitoring the ceasefire from a “coordination centre” in Israel, where they have not spoken publicly about Benjamin Netanyahu’s repeated violations of the truce.
There has even been a report suggesting British military personnel are involved in designing a housing scheme inside the Yellow Line where only suitably vetted Gazans will be allowed to live.”

Global perception’ is correct. All indicators show Palestinian genocide is overwhelmingly supported by the Jewish state and indeed ‘diversity of views within Israeli society have largely disappeared’. We must redouble our efforts to dismantle and destroy this murderous monstrosity along with its international lobby and its hold on our political representatives. Time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Particularly Americans whose regime bears an outsized responsibility for the continued maintenance  and support of this evil entity.

I call it a zombie economy in the sense that it’s an economy that is moving but is not aware of its own state of crisis or its impending demise.’
 
“Shir Heier argues that Israel is now operating in what he calls a ‘zombie economy,’ one kept moving through massive military expenditure, foreign credit and political denial.
 
‘Israel has never in its history been closer to reaching a debt trap [a situation in which the state is forced to take out loans in order to cover payments on older loans].
 
Firstly, and this is very important, Israel’s brand has become toxic. It faces boycotts, divestments, and sanctions, on a level that has never been seen before…”

Four retired senior British Army officers have urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to impose a full arms embargo on Israel and end all UK involvement with Israeli owned or Israeli supported weapons manufacturers, citing documented war crimes and genocide in Gaza and warning of British complicity.■ In a formal letter, the officers rejected claims that Israeli military conduct mirrors British standards and said that amid a fragile so-called “ceasefire,” “now is not the time to return to business as usual with the Israeli government”.■ The signatories, Brigadier John Deverell, Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Graham, Major General Peter Currie and Major General Charlie Herbert, called for sanctions beyond current measures, a ban on Israeli officers attending UK military courses, and an immediate halt to joint activity.■ The letter comes as the British Army considers awarding Elbit Systems UK a £2 billion ($2.70 billion) training contract.Follow us onX andInstagram#VPol

Immediately following his comments he was attacked for meeting with Jonathan Pollard and a broad spectrum of media personalities and outlets participated in this attack. Pollard seems like a niche historical figure to me, of little importance, whilst coverage of the campaign to colonise the West Bank is of the greatest significance.

A noble goal, but it’s not going to work. If the Starmer government becomes a target of international law the UK will simply withdraw from the ICC. It’s very likely that when the Tories and Reform pull the trigger on that withdrawal, NuLabour will breathe a sigh of relief. Owen Jones thinks he’s going to be the new Robespierre, but he’s more likely to be the corpse in a ditch while the Starmer “laws” against pro-Palestinian advocacy continue.

The hippy dippy 60’s born generation kibbitznick volunteers who fell hook line and sinker for the bait of death camps just for Jews, not anyone else! 
The obvious FAKE notion that the Nazis main target was ‘Jews’ not RUSSIANS! 
A total lie made up excuse for the settlement of the Pevant by supremacist Zionists – especially after the failure to take Stalingrad! 
 
We were invested so much into that fairytale – we went from faeries and Santa – to believing that Victim Narrative. 
So much belief that the fate of a continuous humanity in the cradle of civilisation – the Levant and its original Semetic peoples got completely buried! 
If Europeans were the perpetrators than why are Semites of the Levant paying the price by the loss of their ancient lands and lives? By were Europeans punished and ejected so the Victims could have justice in their OWN homelands? 
 
Almost as if that real history was dragged into history’s incinerator and turned to dust!  Like so many burnt books. 
 
 
The made up millions ‘gassed’,  then creamated! The fake history of Turkic tribal land pirates and their ‘trade’ that made their chieftains rich on the silk and spice roads ; who put the Slav into slavery, as the harvesters of such Euro tribes sold to the kings in Africa! 
 
These convert robber barons who straddled the empires of land and across the millenia. They shape-shifted into fake ask-a-Nazis ‘Judaism’, the mumbo jumbo Talmudic witchery, as the super power ‘original’ humans of Semetic fables.
 
Just when they couldn’t take control of their greatest target – EurAsia. Those dynastic Old Bastards have never tired of regaining their Lost Empire  
 
 
They use the Levant crossroads of the World as a replacement and hope to choke the world and humanity from there – that’s is why they are never satisfied by the whole of Europe and 5 Eyes they wholly own and control! They want MORE . 
 
They want IT ALL  – Shapeshifting into ‘Europeans’, Templars, Conquistadors, 5 eyes, yankees etc  
 
 
It’s the hippy dippy shit for brains, never grew up, confused and dazed western liberal child adults who sit and ACCEPT the daily death and destruction of the Semites in the Levant – in the name of that mythical fictional entitlement and supposed victimisation by the Europeans! 
 
The mental dysfunction is very high in that group – my group – even as many more of us are finally seeing the LIE and daily genocide.
Perhaps too little too late! Better that, than never! 
 
Our now nearly adult children and grandchildren however have a chance of tut-tutting and seeing the real life instead of the fake Santa, fake supremacist, fake Christianity of Rome and the Collective Waste.  
 
Just as the majority billions of humans can, we all stare like the little child not fooled by the emperors new clothes! 
 
Death to the fake illegal apartheid entity – it WasNeverReal! 
 
It is just another Pirate port , of slavers and thieves and cut throat murderers – who wear the mask of victims whilst claiming entitlement and excusing all the daily imperialist colonialist deeds.
 
From The River To The Sea.
 
 
Plaestine will always be.

✅ a national Court can issue warrents and asset freezes

Jews are not Christians – and I’m pretty sure most Jews have no love for Jesus, or Christians in general – so why do Christians support Israel?
 
“Once upon a time, not far from where baby Jesus was born, there was a village called Iqrit. It was filled with people who loved Jesus more than anyone in the world. Specifically, ninety percent of them did. The other ten percent also loved Jesus, but not the same way. The villagers of Iqrit were expelled by an army of Jews in 1948, and despite being told they could return within two weeks they were kept out indefinitely. In July 1951, the villagers took their case before the Israeli Supreme Court. They could do this, because they were supposedly Israeli citizens. They won this case. However, the government came up with another reason to keep them out, and so the villagers chose to appeal yet again. This was scheduled for 6 February 1952. However, in December 1951, Israeli soldiers took the leader of Igrit onto a hill. There, on Christmas Day, they forced him to watch as Israeli troops demolished every home in the village. In 1972, after various attempts by inhabitants and their descendants, the government recognized the right to return yet refused to allow it in principle. One Israeli politician, Golda Meir, said why: “It is not only consideration of security preventing an official decision regarding Bi’rim and Igrit, but the desire to avoid a precedent. We cannot allow ourselves to become more and more entangled and to reach a point from which we are unable to extricate ourselves.” In short, they could not allow the return, because if they did, it would set a precedent to allow the return of countless others who were displaced. Iqrit wasn’t the only thing the Jews destroyed. They destroyed the narrative of it being Muslim verses Jew, because the villagers of Iqrit were and are Christian. It destroys the narrative that Palestinians all abandoned their land so other countries could invade, because they did not, they were occupied and expelled. It destroys the idea that Israel is somehow special and unique for being ‘democratic’ and having western institutions. The army ignored the court, and made the villagers watch as they destroyed their homes. To this day, the Israeli government prevents them or their descendants from rebuilding. Note, Israel has not themselves colonized the land, they have not built their own town. They simply prevent its rightful inhabitants from doing so. This coming twenty fifth (tomorrow) of December is the 74rd anniversary of the destruction of the Christian Village of Iarit, by Israel. They did this, despite the Supreme Court of Israel itself ruling that those who lived there and owned the land were entitled to return to their land. And I hope maybe you will remember its story, on this, the anniversary of its destruction, on the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Merry Christmas and God bless the resistance.”

so why do Christians support Israel?

Why are people who believe in crazy bullshit easy to convince?! We do ourselves a great disservice letting any religion off the hook. Maybe it is worth differentiating between spirituality (question focussed) and organised religion (answer focussed) but religion takes the most important things we think about and makes them stupid and belligerent. We should have left it behind long ago.
 
When people bring up Bondi, rather than say “how many Gazans have died?” I have found it a more effective tactic to just keep saying things like “yes it is always tragic when a person dies” … “yes when anyone dies it is very sad for people who were close to them”… “it is so terrible when humans die” etc etc till someone gets it.

Interesting point of view, I myself abhor all religions for me they are a form of control – but your comment doesn’t quite answer why Christians side with the Jews – when Jews as much reported in Israel at least,  don’t particularly like Christians, never mind Muslims, and deliberately destroy any form of Christian Iconostasis in Palestine’s illegally occupied lands.

the genocidal Israeli death-cult just recognized Somaliland as an independent country, which no other country on earth recognizes and is in clear violation of international law as is violates the sovereignty of Somalia. At the same time it demands that no one recognize a Palestinian state even along the internationally recognized 1967 borders. And the Western media and political class treats this all as perfectly normal and fine as it continues to fund and arm this parasitical cancer on the world.

Speaking publicly about it for the first time, Anna Liedtke said the assault took place during a strip search while being transferred between Israeli prisons after Israeli forces intercepted the Gaza-bound humanitarian vessel in fall 2025. 
 
“We were transferred from one prison to another, and during the strip searches I was raped,” she said. 
 
She was held for five days following the interception of Conscience, which aimed to challenge Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza. Prisoner advocacy groups say her testimony adds to mounting evidence of systematic sexual abuse in Israeli detention.

The Khazars might have friends in Washington , which has exposed Washington as a Nazi regime, and Britain,  and Germany., and France, and Turkey.

Kit Klarenberg predicted a while back that Somaliland would be the dumping ground for forcibly displaced Palestinians. “In recent months, Somaliland has become a subject of intense, unprecedented interest for the Western media. As Israeli and US officials scramble to find a destination to forcibly relocate Gaza’s population from their shattered homeland, the little-acknowledged, unrecognised breakaway statelet is increasingly viewed as an attractive option. Multiple mainstream media reports indicate officials in Tel Aviv and Washington are making discrete overtures to Hargeisa on the topic. On March 14th, the Financial Times revealed:  Somaliland’s President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi has made international recognition a major priority, and the prospect of a permanent US military presence insulating the breakaway territory from violent instability that regularly engulfs Somalia is also no doubt enormously attractive. From Washington’s perspective too, such an arrangement offers profuse geopolitical gains well-beyond the involuntary relocation of millions of Palestinians, to make way for Trump’s fantasised ‘Gaza-Lago’. For one, Somaliland’s proximity to the Arabian peninsula makes the territory an ideal staging ground for strikes on Yemen.” Somaliland: British Colony, Palestinian Concentration Camp?

🔹@enemywatch :
SRAEL’S DEMOGRAPHIC ENGINEERING AND THE REDRAWING OF THE WORLD MAP
Israel is actively reshaping the political map and demographic realities of the region, and arguably beyond it, while much of the international community remains trapped in a hollow cycle of condemnations that resemble a stone–paper–scissors chorus with no consequence. What we are witnessing is not a series of disconnected events, but a coordinated trajectory.
Israel’s controversial recognition of Somaliland, the deepening crisis in Sudan, American strikes under the pretext of targeting ISIS in Nigeria amid reports of Christian killings, rising tensions in Djibouti, threats directed at Libya, the suspicious killing of the Libyan armed forces’ chief of staff in Turkey, Netanyahu’s public remarks about a “Free Kurdistan,” IOF meetings with Druze separatist elements, Turkey’s invasion of northern Syria, and the Saudi–UAE rivalry destabilizing Yemen all point toward a broader American–Israeli project. This project is not only expanding geographically but is increasingly normalizing itself while actively engineering demographic and political fragmentation.
This destructive pattern has been repeatedly warned against by Imam Khamenei, who argued that when Israel perceives its own security as threatened, it will deliberately export instability, redraw borders, and fracture societies. The post–Tufan al-Aqsa phase, followed by operations such as Uli al-Baas, Wa‘d al-Sadiq, and Basharat al-Fatah, has reinforced Israeli and American awareness that ceasefires neither guarantee security nor preserve their strategic dominance. As military deterrence grows and targeted assassinations and asset bombings yield diminishing returns, the strategy shifts toward long-term demographic manipulation and political subjugation.
Israel’s formal recognition of Somaliland exemplifies this shift. By establishing full diplomatic relations, exchanging ambassadors, and framing the move within the logic of the Abraham Accords, Israel has taken a significant step in legitimizing a breakaway entity that declared independence from Somalia in 1991. While Somaliland functions as a de facto state with democratic institutions, reports indicate declining political freedoms and increased repression of journalists and opposition figures.
Strategically, Somaliland’s location near Yemen, where Israel has conducted operations against the Houthis, makes it geopolitically valuable. The presence of a UAE military base in Berbera and growing American interest further reinforce its role within this emerging alignment. Whether Israel ultimately achieves its stated goals is almost secondary. What matters more is that the pursuit of these goals risks accelerating ethnic cleansing, social fragmentation, and destructive reordering of populations. Even failure, in this framework, comes at a devastating human cost. (end)
Hamas:
 
The recognition between the Zionist entity and Somaliland constitutes a dangerous precedent, an effort to secure illegitimate legitimacy from a fascist occupier of Palestinian lands
 We affirm our complete rejection of the occupation’s plans to forcibly displace our people, including using Somaliland as a destination for the people of Gaza.

Israel has officially recognized ‘Somaliland’, a breakaway region of Somalia, as its own independent nation.
Israel is the first and only ‘country’ worldwide to recognize Somaliland.
 
It has likely done so because of its strategic location in the Horn of Africa and Gulf of Aden; Somaliland could serve as a strategic forward base for Israeli operations against Yemen.

Enemy watch.  The Neocons refused to allow Jeremy Corbyn to become Britain’s PM in 2019. So the enemy is within. Nobody in the West can realistically define the enemy as being outside of itself.
 
Obviously the Muslim diaspora in the West have miscellaneous plans to control  Western politics, but every one of these is doomed to failure so long as the US Khazar Neocons have an absolute veto on anything like revolution.  Democracy is dead wherever the dead hand of the Khazar Neocons can reach.
 
What is needed, and which comes from journalists living outside the West, is a redefinition of the West as the enemy, but far too many people are getting far too rich spouting CIA/MI6/ Muslim Brotherhood bollocks,  which defines the enemy as being outside the Garden, in Israel, in Syria, etc.
 
No. First define the West as your enemy and the enemy of all Humanity.

For sure Mengele and co were wholly part of the crazed ‘mad scientists’ with their AngloEurocentric supremacist centuries of trying to bash an ‘Aryan’ square peg into the round hole of evolution  – eugenics.
 
Many still do with the absurd evolutionary psychology nastiness – such as Pinker and co  
 
That has been worked on long before Hitlers crew came along, as is well known. Huxley wrote about it as did others in high academia creating dumb mythologies. the ukropians didn’t come up the idea of rewriting history and evolution – they are incapable. 
 
It was part of the state propaganda of each crazed nationalism, patriotism da ised to deliver imperial conquest for the forever Ziolords that ran ALL such states.
 
Even to this day in the U.K. there are idiots who still believe in the natural supremacy of the ‘greatest empire ever’ that the sun never set upon.
 
In some idiocy of homegeniety of a English ‘race’!
 
Such mongrels who don’t even know who their grandparents were yet still slurp on the old propaganda cool aid through the cultural entertainment industrial complex.
 
So vividly on display every Xmas on U.K. TeeVee – the Kings/Queens Speech; the film Great Escape! Sound of Music … one day it will be over, future generations will not know let alone understand.
 
Of course some real scientists, did accept the truths of their researches, no matter where they started from.
 
Darwin had to, Wallace forced it, the great German natural scientist Humboldt too, couldn’t escape the reality as he collected evidence in Venezuelan caves!
 
Many of course never could.  Their establishment minders wouldn’t let them! The rennaisance died in that sordid self destructive delusional search for eugenic supremacy – by trying to create the unicorn in natural superiority of ‘some’ humans.
 
By looking for diseases that would kill all but the chosen few inbreds!
 
A lot of post war genetics research was carried on based on the fascist inhuman vivisections carried out across the whole demented collective Waste from Nippon to Ukraine – it never stopped – the experimentation and creation of deadly viruses and toxins.
 
Yup there was a lot of nastiness taking place in the camps, not just slavery and working to death.
As there was in the factories and laboratories, run by the self selected ‘smartest’ people ever!
As there also was in the oldest towns and universities – some that also had to be burnt to ashes ironically, before the Red Army arrived.
 
 
They are the same still – fascists Zionists shapeshifters, who still attempt to conquer the whole of the world and enslave the majority of humanity.
Culling all who resist or are deemed as unworthy or just unnecessary!
 
I’m pretty sure within the next generation all their centuries of delusional work will have been reversed and humanity will finally be free.

Mohammad Al-Farrah, a member of the political bureau of the Ansarullah movement, revealed notable details today, Saturday, about the plot by Riyadh and Abu Dhabi in Hadhramaut province. He emphasized that what is happening in Hadhramaut is neither accidental nor an internal, spontaneous action, but part of a systematic plan to partition Yemen, plunder its wealth, and turn the south of the country into a playground for foreign powers.
 
 
He stated in a post on his page on the platform X that the actions of the Southern Transitional Council in Hadhramaut have no connection to any national project and are merely a pawn of the UAE, designed to partition Yemen.
 
This Ansarullah official believes that the Council and its patron, the UAE, only intend to prepare the ground for Israel’s direct presence from the Bab al-Mandab Strait to the Arabian Sea, which is one of the most important areas for the national security of Yemen and Arab countries.

A longer version of the Mohammad Al-Farrah statement.
Exc:
 
Al-Farrah emphasized a categorical rejection of all forms of foreign meddling and guardianship, stating, “Yemen did not rise up to replace one guardianship with another, nor to be managed from Abu Dhabi or Riyadh.”
 
 
He portrayed Yemen as a rich country in both resources and people, whose populace does not need to “beg from the sheikhs of the Emirates and Qatar or engage in mercenary work for the kings of Saudi Arabia.
 
 
He said  that any political or military project not based on full sovereignty, unified decision-making, and the people’s right to their wealth as an “hostile project,” regardless of the local slogans it might hide behind.
 
 
He reiterated Ansarullah’s consistent national stance since 2001 and the beginning of the US-Saudi aggression in 2015: “Yemen is not a sphere of influence for anyone, nor a subordinate project, nor booty to be divided by others.”

Not just on MOA but across the world the Zionists are now being referred to as monsters, vermin, insects, parasites and other diseases. Not as humans.
 
This types of language typically precedes a slaughter, ethnic cleansing, and of course genocide.

Middle East Eye published a good background on the Somaliland crap.  BTW, Djibouti and Eritrea are also European carve-outs of African territories for trade and military ports.

We will fight against “Israel’s” recognition of parts of Somalia, and we will not allow it to use our Somali lands. It is extremely insulting that some Somalis celebrate normalization with the greatest enemy of Muslims

Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir al-Barsh:
 
▪️A significant increase in abortions compared to a sharp decrease in the number of births by 40% compared to the previous year; the number of monthly births has decreased from 26,000 to only 17,000 cases.
 
▪️Low birth weight has become a widespread phenomenon as a result of maternal malnutrition and the prevention of access to essential nutritional supplements.
 
▪️The occupation directly targeted the fertilization centers, and bombed the Al-Basma Center, which led to the burning of nitrogen pipes and the destruction of about 4,000 fully fertilized embryos. This is a crime proven by United Nations reports and fact-finding committees that confirmed that the embryos were kept inside the laboratory according to the scientific procedures followed.
 
▪️These data show the existence of a “pre-existing plan” that Israeli research centers such as the Herzliya Conference have long brandished, warning of the “Palestinian demographic threat” and calling for the need to confront it.
 
▪️The war was the perfect opportunity to implement these plans by directly targeting the offspring of Palestinians, their health, and their ability to reproduce properly.

Israeli recognition of “Somaliland” and the expulsion of Palestinian from Gaza 
From presstv.ir (excerpt)
Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ali Omar told Al-Jazeera that Israel’s push for Somaliland’s recognition is linked to plans to displace Palestinians from Gaza.
 
 
Palestine’s foreign ministry echoed this warning, describing Israel’s plan to relocate Palestinians to Somaliland as a “red line.”
 
 
Hamas also rejected any use of Somaliland as a destination for displaced Palestinians.
 
In early August, US President Donald Trump indicated he would support recognition of Somaliland if the territory agreed to accept forcibly displaced Palestinians.
 
Following his comments, media outlets reported that Washington and Tel Aviv had approached Somaliland regarding the resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza. Somaliland, however, denied the reports, saying that it had not received any such proposal.
Comment:
 
US/Israel are putting on the same old show – Israel recognizes “Somaliland” and DT publicly disagrees  ( audience laughs), saying he would not do that “at this time”. 
 
This newest act of the same old show is being staged on the backdrop of the “Trump peace plan” which stipulates that  no-one will be forced to leave Gaza, those that do are free to return, and Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza.

The Zionist desire to expel Palestinians is no different than the KKK’s desire to rid the US of Blacks or Hitler’s expulsion of Jews.  It’s racism, pure and simple.

It is no wonder that Israel thinks it can kick the Palestinians out, when every Muslim spy from around the Muslim world   has crawled into Blighty to sell their Muslim brothers to the  Zionists.

As usual you got it arse about face with your TDS.
Zionism is about Colonialism in a world that has made Colonialism illegal.
 
The Khazars don’t give a flying chip about Palestinians except to open a crack into controlling West Asia without help from the  other inhabitants of West Asia who are queueing up to sell the Palestinians to the Yanks’  Abraham Frackords.
 
Nothing whatsoever to do with racism.
Entirely to do with Zeal Estate.

The thing the Jews hate most about Jesus AS is that Allah SWT helped him with the Angel Gabriel who informed him AS about them.
 
They had wanted to kill him AS,  in the same  way that they had killed  many previous prophets, May God’s Peace and Blessings be on all of them.
The Jews hated No. 1 God,  No. 2 His Angels,
No. 3, His prophets. But both the Gospels and the Qur’an explain that the reason the Jews hated 2. and 3. was because of their hatred of God , Glory be to Him in the Highest.
 
It is no coincidence that the Sauds helped to shoe Jewlani into power in Damascus because the Sauds want to control Jesus’s AS narrative when he arrives., in the same way that the Brits for the last 300 years have controlled them.
 
That’s why the Abraham Accords are named after Abraham, to force Jesus AS into recognising the supremacy of Judaism over Islam.  Yes, Trump is really that stupid  
He thinks that the President of the US will dictate terms to the Messiah AS by the US  owning Jewlani.
Trump hasn’t said Fuck Jesus in public, but that’s what his handshake with Jewlani really means. When the Messiah AS comes, we, the US,  will own him.
 
It makes Fucky Nzuland’s Fuck the EU almost  look sane.

These two people are completely mad.
But they have a common goal, to curb the rise of Islam in the Western world, by scaring their dumb citizens with outrageous consequences for Muslims on their TV screens.
 
Rinse, repeat, for Socialists,  Black skin colour, welfare claimants, breeders of children. This is not perfidy.  It is Feudalism.
Don’t even think about any kind of Freedom.
This is an insane project , like covid, to scare humanty into terrified slavery,  that we are missing out on the power that governments possess.  The power to spy. The power to kill. The power to spread malicious rumours about other groups of people.
 
These people are irrelevant  maniacs, who  meet to groom and eat each other’s ticks like Orangutans and chimpanzees.
