“I am an [Israeli] citizen,” he cried; “men call me Gaius Mucius. I am your enemy, and as an enemy I would have slain you; I can die as resolutely as I could kill: both to do and to endure valiantly is the [Israeli] way. Nor am I the only one to carry this resolution against you: behind me is a long line of men who are seeking the same honour.

Gird yourself therefore, if you think it worth your while, for a struggle in which you must fight for your life from hour to hour with an armed foe always at your door. Such is the war we, the [Israeli] youths, declare on you."

Since European countries has lost its spine, humanity must rely on Hezbollah to intervene to save the defenseless and starving children in Gaza that the jews are murdering. And when Israel nukes Iran, I hope that the entire region, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Pakistan and Russia etc – the Axis of Resistance, will wipe the Axis of Evil – Israel and USA, off the face of the planet. Only the ashes must remain.

No they are not. Literally the last thing Iran wants is to destroy Israel. Both rely at least partially for their survival on focusing the wrath of the Sunni/Arab world on the other.

Israel & the US try to convince the Sunni/Arab world that the real enemy to focus on in Iran.

Nimatzo already told you exactly why Iran had Hamas attack Israel. The Saudis, the US, and Israel, were working on a deal to normalize relations, and Iran needed to blow that up.

And they did.

Now Sunni/Arab rage is focused on Israel again.

All the regional leaders know the game, but they play it anyway because the people on the street don't realize that they are being manipulated.

It is more simple than that. Hamas was invited to attack Israel by Netanyahu who opened the door, looked away, and let them in, and then even helped Hamas in its attack by shooting tank shells into Kibbutzes.

Israel has never cared about having good relations with its neighbors. They don't need Iran to sabotage anything. They simply don’t give a shit about what the Saudis or anyone else for that matter says or think, regardless. What matters to the Jews is the land and that only Jews can live there. The Jews has been calling for the extermination of the Arabs for many years. Netanyahu gave himself the pretext to initiate the genocide now, and Netanyahu hasn’t looked this happy in years.

Zionist regime is incidentally not a synonym with Israel-Al Qud. A 1 state solution would mean the end of a state based on uni-ethnic principles and would replace that with a more multi-ethnic basis.

It's the new holocaust!

http://www...y-gaza-%E2%80%93-so-it-awakens

Hamas leader Isamil Haniyeh called in an October 26, 2023 address upon all the "free people of the world" to stop the bombing of Gaza, which he referred to as the "new holocaust." He said: "The blood of the women, children and elderly […] we are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit, so it awakens with us resolve." He said that the demise of the Israeli occupation is "inevitable," and therefore, preparations must be made for the post-occupation phase. The address was aired on Mayadeen Network (Lebanon), and other TV networks.



Ismail Haniyeh: "I call upon all the intellectuals and strategic experts to discuss the post-occupation phase, because its demise is inevitable. This occupier will not be able to recover, because of the strategic blow and resounding defeat that befell it.

"I Call On All The Free People Of The World... To Exert All The Necessary Pressure... To Stop This War Against Our Children, Women, And Elderly, Our Mosques, Our Universities, And Our Homes; This New Holocaust Must Stop"

"I call on everybody – all the free people of the world, all the friendly countries, all the brotherly [Arab] countries, and all the allies – to exert all the necessary pressure, in all directions and in all forums, in order to end the aggression against Gaza, to stop this war against our children, women, and elderly, our mosques, our universities, and our homes. This brutal aggression must stop. This new holocaust must stop.

"The Blood Of The Women, Children, And Elderly... We Are The Ones Who Need This Blood, So It Awakens Within Us The Revolutionary Spirit"

"I have said this before, and I say it time again: The blood of the women, children, and elderly… I am not saying that this blood is calling for your [help]. We are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit, so it awakens within us resolve, so it awakens within us the spirit of challenge, and [pushes us] to move forward."

Erdogan!

http://www...-turkeys-centenary-2023-10-28/


ISTANBUL, Oct 28 (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan addressed hundreds of thousands of supporters at one of the largest pro-Palestinian rallies since the Israel-Hamas war began, courting his Islamist political base a day ahead of the centenary of Turkey's secular republic.

"Israel has been openly committing war crimes for 22 days, but the Western leaders cannot even call on Israel for a ceasefire, let alone react to it," Erdogan told the crowd in Istanbul, who waved Palestinian flags.

"We will tell the whole world that Israel is a war criminal. We are making preparations for this. We will declare Israel a war criminal," he said.

In an hour-long speech, Erdogan also repeated his assertion that Hamas was not a terrorist organisation, describing Israel as an occupier.

Turkey has condemned Israeli civilian deaths caused by Hamas's Oct. 7 rampage through southern Israel, which killed 1,400, but Erdogan this week called the militant group Palestinian "freedom fighters".

He also criticised some Western nations' unconditional support for Israel, drawing sharp rebukes from Italy and Israel.

Given the population density of Gaza in not sure how Hamas could do anything but be behind civilians in much the same way that - as Rugian pointed out - the air defences for the London Olympics were on top of civilian buildings.

It's certainly part of their strategy though.

Whichever way you look at it, thats all the more reason for Israel to facilitate defusing this aspect with effective corridors, humanitarian camps for IDPs and guarantees of return.

Yes, Hamas's brutal terrorism cannot be tolerated and they must be removed from the equation to make any progress towards peace. But removing them (or degrading them) isn't a solution, only one necessary step - and it needs to be done in a way that doesn't make peace less possible in future.

In the broader picture, non-military methods have not worked out well for Fatah in the West Bank at all - Israel has gone ahead with dismantling more and more Palestinian settlements, restricting movement between territories etc. etc.

Ultimately Israel needs to create a path to a two state solution. Or a one state one with Palestinians having full civil rights and equal access to resources like land, water etc. The latter clearly runs contrary to the underlying logic of a necessity for a homeland for the Jews which only means a two state solution must be the long term goal.

For all the rhetoric that the Israelis "don't have a partner for peace", the Palestinians can say exactly the same.

Sam:

A few weeks ago, there was a cottage industry of numerically scaling 1400 dead Israelis by their population to show just how many 9/11 equivalents it was. If you do the same with Palestinians I suspect we are passed Dresden or Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

But what made peace possible with Japan and Germany was - after the end of hostilities - a long period of occupation, but an occupation where the rights of civilian Germans and Japanese were respected, as was the territorial integrity of their countries was guaranteed (by the West anyway, not where Russia was involved), and huge flows of inbound aid to reconstruct the country from the occupying powers. This largely helped contextualise the brutality of war as a necessary step towards peace.

Part of the problem with the Arab Israeli conflict is immediately after 1967, the Israelis decided not to undertake the kind of policies the west did towards defeated Axis powers but instead started annexing their lands and resources.

I rather suspect if the US, UK and France had announced a policy to colonise Germany with American settlements, displacing the Germany people etc. on the same proportional scale that Israel did, and pursued it to the extent that Israel has done over the same kind of time scales, we would have faced plenty of resistance and terrorism.

Given that Israel does not intend to do what the western allies did after WWII in Gaza, but rather intends to simply kill as many terrorists, disperse as many people out of the strip as possible, and then leave - perhaps barring 20% of the land for use - it would probably be a good idea to make big efforts to avoid mass killings of civilians as possible. Generally, without that kind of counterfactual of the occupying power bending over backwards to be scrupulously just and clearly trying to help better the situation of the occupied, people who have seen their innocent family members killed have a hard time accepting them as necessary or unintentional and want to retaliate in kind.

If the genius plan is to leave them to their own devices in an economically blockaded refugee camp - again with no obvious way to better their lives - we are going to see the same pattern that led us from the 2nd Infantada to where we are now.

Today in Dagestan, tomorrow in the whole world!

http://www...y-russian-aviation-2023-10-29/

Oct 30 (Reuters) - Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters stormed an airport in Russia's predominantly Muslim Dagestan region on Sunday, where a plane from Israel had just arrived, forcing security forces to close the airport and remove the demonstrators.

Twenty people were injured before forces contained the protest at Makhachkala airport, local authorities said. The passengers on the plane were safe, security forces told Reuters.

The unrest followed several other anti-Israel incidents in North Caucasus sparked by Israel's war against Hamas militants in Gaza. The Dagestani government said early on Monday that it was strengthening security measures across the republic, which is home to about 3 million people.

The unrest in the region, where Russian security forces once fought an Islamist insurgency, could pose another challenge for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is waging a war in Ukraine and who has faced an attempted mutiny this year.

Videos from Makhachkala airport obtained by Reuters showed the protesters, mostly young men, waving Palestinian flags, breaking down glass doors and running through the airport shouting "Allahu Akbar" or "God is Greatest".

Another group were seen trying to topple over a patrol truck.

The Russian Aviation Authority closed the airport until it completes security checks. There were no immediate reports of arrests, but Russia's federal investigations agency ordered a criminal probe into the incident.

Sergei Melikov, the head of Dagestan, said the incident was a gross violation of the law, even as Dagestanis "empathize with the suffering of victims of the actions of unrighteous people and politicians, and pray for peace in Palestine".

"There is no courage in waiting as a mob for unarmed people who have not done anything forbidden," Melikov said on the Telegram messaging app.

Regional leaders in two other areas of the northern Caucasus called for calm. A similar appeal was issued by Dagestan's chief Muslim cleric, or mufti.

Israel urged Russian authorities to protect Israelis and Jews in their jurisdictions following the recent spate of violence against Israeli and Jewish targets.

In the past few days, a Jewish centre under construction in Nalchik, the capital of the nearby Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, was set on fire, emergency officials said.

There were also reports on social media of small anti-Israeli gatherings over the weekend in Dagestan and across the North Caucasus in Russia's south. Reuters could not independently verify those reports.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy blamed the events on Russia's "widespread culture of hatred toward other nations, which is propagated by state television, pundits, and authorities". There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin.

Russia has tried to maintain contact with all sides in the Israel-Hamas conflict, but has angered Israeli authorities by inviting a Hamas delegation to Moscow. Israel's foreign ministry summoned the Russian ambassador on Sunday.

“Ultimately Israel needs to create a path to a two state solution.“

And this is where the reasoning breaks down and where historical realities are not internalized or understood. A *two* state solution requires two sides who engage in dialogue in good faith. Repeatedly the arabs have chosen the Sword, repeatedly. There is simply zero appreciation here for what an impossible adversary the Israelis have been confronted with or all the manners they have tried to resolve it. An adversary whose entire identity is anchored in a military disaster that needs to be rectified, a refugee victimhood status; the only one in the world that is legally inherited.

Jergul
And then what? Are you and your wife going to house them at your farmstead? The arab countries want nothing to do with them (Egypt also doesn’t let them leave) and Israel has no obligation to take in a couple if million people who have, for generations, the moment they set foot in schools been taugh to hate and de-humanize Jews. Courtesy of UNRWA, funded with our tax money. You just conveniently forget why Israel walled these people in to begin with.

When has Israel's primary policy towards the West Bank and Gaza not been to secure control of people's movements, land rights and natural resources?

Even the best deal offered under the Oslo process still essentially gave Israel control of the west banks water, access to the outside world, freedom of movement internally.

The annexation of land creates the casus belli for future conflict (see,France and Germany across the 19th and 20th century).

Arguing that this is unprecedented just shows a complete ignorance of history.

Israel cannot claim that the Arabs are the blocker to peace when as a state they have never since 1967 accepted that Palestinians should have anything amounting to a free state independent of Israel.

You also gloss over the times that Israel has been the affair aggressor (e.g. when they connived Suez crisis).

There seems to be some confusion on that point. Israel is an occupying power that has now tasked itself with exterminating a terrorist group on territory Israel occupies, but is currently a nogo zone.

Israel has huge obligations and tremendous responsibilities for the Gazan civilians under occupation and who are the primary victims of the terrorist organization.

Israel can be blamed for allowing Hamas to establish itself so strongly in the first place. Though politically inconvenient domestically, we are long past to point where Israel should have regained physical control and began providing security and opportunity for the people under occupation.

She voted for the fascist genocidal regime in Israel and then she went half naked into occupied territory to Hamas. She wanted Hamas penis, because it is ”forbidden” and it excited her. She was likely killed and raped by jewish fascists when they found out.

You know, even that isn't true.

Hamas stood and won a majority of the legislative seats from Gaza to the Palestinian Legislative Committee.


Sam:

You spent a decade bombing the shit out of the Taliban - who runs Afghanistan now?

Executive power rests with the PA.

Hamas then staged a coup against the PA in Gaza, which faced resistance but which Hamas won by force of arms, on account of having a supply of guns, but the PA not being able to supply their forces without breaking the Israeli blockade.

Since then Hamas has brutally killed anyone that dissents. There was a while back some trade union strikes by doctors: Hamas had the leaders executed and their bodies dragged through the streets on the back of motorcycles.

That is how they acquired and maintain power: by a military coup, not by being voted in.


Repeatedly saying that the Gazan's voted in Hamas is like saying the citizens of the republic of Ireland support IRA bombings because they voted for Sinn Fein.

It's fundamentally dishonest and really just designed to justify collective punishment - the same logic Hamas uses to execute children.

Murder:

"The Gazans voted that terrorist organization into power."

You know, even that isn't true.

Hamas stood and won a majority of the legislative seats from Gaza to the Palestinian Legislative Committee.

We didn't bomb the shit out of anything. I guarantee we put up more buildings than we leveled. I guarantee we repaired more infrastructure than we wrecked. Hamas just killed more people in 1 day than we killed in 6 months in Afghanistan.

We literally took the explosives out of Hellfire missiles and replaced them with blades.

And we're still shrinking munitions to make sure we don't actually hurt anyone.

I don't know how you can even say that with a straight face ... assuming you're maintaining a straight face.

Then I guess they will welcome the Israelis as liberators and snitch out Hamas every chance they get.

Then Israel should take its obligations seriously and firmly provide security to the people in all areas it controls until such a time when a political settlement is possible and security responsibilities can be transferred to others in areas no longer controlled by Israel.

There is a cost to starting and losing wars. Occupation, annexation, loss of control. At which point you can fuck around more to find out where this will lead. The Arabs chose to blow up civilians establishment, homes and busses. Generation after generation, not a single peaceful Palestinian leader rose in their ranks. No Ghandi or Mandela, just increasingly more violent ideologies.

They have forfeited their right to their own country. This is obvious when you look at the values and goals of Israel vs Muslims and Palestinians. What the world and the region needs, isn't another Muslim-Arab country, too many of those as it is, we are trying to get rid of a few, not add more.

About 2 hours ago, Israel airstrikes hit a major hamas underground weapons depot. It was hidden under a residential neighborhood in gaza and an entire block of medium-rise apartment buildings is now a crater. The israeli bombs landed, a fire smouldered for a munute or so, and then the entire neighborhood blew up.

Lmao.

Dumb palestinians.

Note israel has been warning people to leave that area for 3 weeks now.

The tards of the world will blame israel still.

Murder:

Is it your contention that if you hadn't put up the infrastructure and built houses that the Taliban would not now be running the country?

The US dropped 85,000 bombs (this does not include NATO forces but lets assume that was minimal) on Afghanistan over the entire of enduring freedom.

About 1 for every 500 people.

At what point do you think you would have succeeded?

"Then I guess they will welcome the Israelis as liberators and snitch out Hamas every chance they get."

Israel has a documented (by them!) policy of shooting the limbs off children that throw rocks in the direction of its forces even if they land 50 meters short.

I really don't think they will be welcoming the Israelis as liberators. Especially if they are in the business of blowing up their homes.

As Israel begins targeting Gaza Terror Tunnel Network, Hamas Terror groups gives access to Russia Today journalist to visit the Tunnel Network. This is the RT on ground report from underneath Gaza. This is the Gaza Metro.

Lol. Dont throw rocks at soldiers duh. I also would shoot someone that tried to injure/kill me. Except i would be even less nice/more practical and aim for the chest, like you are supposed to.

Do you remember her?^^

http://www...58830dc9df876451bc234073532d60

A young Palestinian woman who rose to fame after slapping an Israeli soldier in the face when she was a teenager has posted a graphic and disturbing message about the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In 2017, a video of Ahed Tamimi, then 16, lashing out the soldier went viral, sparking a renewed focus on the plight of those in Palestine, particularly children.

Ms Tamimi was arrested and charged with four offences, eventually sentenced to eight months in an Israeli prison.

She became the face of the Palestinian resistance as a result.

She rose to international prominence, making frequent media appearances and authoring a book. Some commentators compared her to Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai.

Earlier today, Ms Tamimi took to her Instagram account to share a graphic message via her Stories to Israelis in the wake of the current conflict gripping Gaza.

“Our message to the settler flocks,” a translation reads.

“We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank, from Hebron to Jenin. We will slaughter you and we will say [that] what Hitler did was a joke.

“We will drink your blood and eat your skulls. Come forward. We are waiting for you.”

The remarks have sparked condemnation on social media. Ms Tahimi’s Instagram account appears to have been suspended.

Here is a Hamas leader, using sebgul logic to expliam why Hamas has managed to build so many tunnels and yet not aingle shelter. It is the responsibility of the UN to take care of the people of Gaza, according to the Geneve convention it is Israels responsibility.

http://x.c...?s=46&t=CYhWz3k7xEhK_08avnT4-w

And this is how the sebguls became the useful idiots of Islamist. You want to be live and let live, but the sebguls are gonna come and shit in the water and then cite international shitting right. Oh you didn’t know? According to the Geneva convention I can shit here and you have to pick it up.

It is my contention that we were doing anything but wrecking things and killing people.


"The US dropped 85,000 bombs (this does not include NATO forces but lets assume that was minimal) on Afghanistan over the entire of enduring freedom."

The US dropped less than 50 bombs per day ... or less than the loadout of a single B-1B bomber ... in a nation the size of Texas.


"At what point do you think you would have succeeded?"

When you kill all the enemy.

"Southern command units, this is the commander.

We are striking against Hamas and the terrorist organizations in the Gaza strip.

Our only goal ـــ victory

No matter how long and no matter how hard the fighting will be, there is no other outcome than victory

We will fight with profession and strength, based on the principles of the Israeli defense forces that we were instilled in us and in their forefront ـــ Dedication to mission, and pursuit of victory.

We will fight in alleys, we will fight in tunnels, we will fight wherever necessary. We will eliminate the abominable enemy before whom we stand.

My brothers in arms; the residents of Be'eri, Sderot, Nir Oz, Kfar Aza, and the west Negev communities, and alongside them all the people of Israel, are watching us now.

Like me, they trust you and believe in you. You are the generation of victory.

This is the commander, move to achieve your missions, strike the enemy. Over and out."
