In a horrific report, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor revealed that Israeli warmongers executed dozens of Palestinian elderly in front of their families after telling them it was safe to evacuate.
The report also estimated that 1,049 elderly people have been killed by "Israel", making up 3.9% of the total death toll of Palestinians since October 7. The martyrs were killed by Israeli airstrikes as the rubble of their homes or the shelters they sought safety in collapsed over them, or while gathering basic life supplies from the streets or marketplaces around their towns.
But in a monstrous revelation, and according to testimonies gathered by Euro-Med, dozens of elderly Palestinians were actively targeted by the Israeli occupation forces and killed in field executions.
“These incidents included soldiers shooting elderly people immediately after ordering them to evacuate their homes, and in some cases, executing them just moments after their release from hours or days of arbitrary detention,” the report said.

I suppose it would be fair to shelve the term "Houthi", it sounds inappropriate, I might go with "Yemeni" and just ignore whatever the minority of the "real" government may have in mind, since "Yemen" is really a "culture" and not a "country" spawned by 1960s paperwork.
So far it may be one of the purest exercises of truth and power I have witnessed.
Someone we can't even think of the name of has dispelled the shipping giants and the Coalition of the Killing.
Let me know the last time someone vaporized 85% of Eilat cargo.
I know of a way to get it back, but this is not the direction things are headed.
I have no idea what this means, I just know it is funny how easily some humanoids are thrown into sheer panic:
Quote:
The United States and its allies are “trapped” in the Red Sea and should prepare for the closure of waterways stretching all the way to the western gates of the Mediterranean Sea, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Chief of Staff Mohammad Reza Naqdi has warned.
“With the continuation of the crimes [in Gaza], the United States and its allies should await the birth of new powers of resistance and the closure of the rest of the waterways and roads to them,” Naqdi said at a ceremony commemorating Hasan Irlu, a late IRGC commander and former Iranian ambassador to Yemen.
“Yesterday the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz was a nightmare for them, today the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Red Sea have trapped them, and with the continuation of these crimes, they will soon await the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, [the Strait of] Gibraltar and other waterways,” the commander added. “Oppression that has gone too far should await the storm,” he warned.
“The Zionist regime and the United States have gone mad due to the severity of the crimes and brutality they have committed, and they cannot even recognize their own interests,” Naqdi suggested, saying the two powers seem incapable of “learning from past events.”
Naqdi did not elaborate on what kinds of operations specifically may be taken to close regional waterways to US forces and their allies. However, US media and news agencies immediately interpreted the commander’s words as an explicitly Iranian “threat” to “close the Mediterranean.”
Al-Qassam Brigades says one of its fighters managed to kill 4 Israeli soldiers at point-blank range in Al-Qasasib neighborhood in Gaza’s Jabalia
Imam Khameini:
Quote:
“This incident is unparalleled in two ways. From the side of the Zionist regime, this kind of brutality, criminality, bloodthirstiness, child killings, malice, cruelty, and the dropping of bunker-breaking bombs on patients and hospitals was never seen before. And also, on the side of the Palestinian people and fighters, the way they exhibited patience, resistance and the way they infuriated the enemy was unprecedented,” the Leader said as quoted by Tasnim news agency.
“Even though water, food, medicine and fuel are not reaching these people, they are still standing strong like a mountain and it is this resilience that will lead them to victory, for God is with those who are patient and the signs of victory can be seen today,” Imam Khamenei stated.
His eminence added that the Zionist regime remains powerless against the Palestinian fighters despite all its equipment and assets, noting that this is another important aspect of this unparalleled confrontation.
“The Zionist regime’s defeat in this incident is equivalent to the defeat of the United States. Today, no one in the world considers the occupying regime, the US and Britain to be any different from each other. Everyone knows that they are one and the same,”

“Do not doubt that the usurping Zionist regime will be eradicated from earth,” Ayatollah Khamenei stated on the 87th day of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip which has so far killed more than 20,000, mainly children and women.
He touched on the events of the besieged Gaza Strip during the past two and a half months, describing them “a unique and extraordinary phenomenon in the recent history of the Islamic world, the like of which we haven’t had in recent history and perhaps in the last century”.
“This incident is unique from two sides. From the side of the Zionist regime, it is unique because this kind of brutality, criminality and bloodlust has never been seen in the period I mentioned," the Leader added.
“This kind of child killing, with bunker-busting bombs thrown over patients in hospitals, this kind of cruelty and wickedness is unprecedented,” he continued.
“On the other side - the side of the Palestinian people and Palestinian fighters, this kind of standing, patience, resistance, and driving the enemy crazy has never been seen," the Supreme Leader underlined.
“The people of Gaza, the fighters of Gaza stood like a rock, like a mountain. It is an important thing. Without water, food, medicine and fuel, they stood and didn't give up. It is very important,” he underscored.
“Not giving up makes them victorious, even though the signs of victory can be seen today,” Ayatollah Khamenei added, citing the Holy Qur’an which says “Truly, Allah is with those who are patient.”
Israel, the Leader said, “with all the equipment and all the facilities, remains powerless against the Palestinian fighters, whose equipment is almost incomparable to the equipment of the Zionist regime”.
“The great victory of the Palestinian nation and the Front of Righteous and Resistance is that it discredited the West and America and exposed the nature of all their false human rights claims, since Israel was not able to commit so many crimes without the support of America,” he stated.
“And today the ugly face of the hideous monsters of America and England has been revealed to all the people of the world, and the nature of the White House has been exposed and the inner self of the governments of America and England has been revealed,” he continued.
The Leader said governments and nations have a duty to help the resistance in any way possible, adding, “Helping the resistance is everyone's duty, and helping the Zionist regime is a crime and treason.”
Ayatollah Khamenei expressed regret over the “criminal” assistance of some Islamic states to the Zionist regime, saying Muslim nations will not forget it.
The Islamic governments, he stressed, "have a responsibility to prevent goods, oil and fuel from reaching the Zionist regime, which has even prevented water from reaching the people of Gaza”.
“Muslim nations should ask their governments to cut off any ties and aid to Zionist criminals, or if they are not able to cut ties permanently, at least put pressure on the evil, cruel and bloodthirsty regime by temporarily cutting them off,” he added.
While there is hardly anything left to feed the propaganda mill:

96 percent of Saudi citizens are of the opinion that Arab nations should sever relations with Israel due to the conflict in Gaza, a new survey revealed.
The poll, conducted by the Washington Institute for Near Eastern Affairs, a pro-Israel think tank based in Washington, also shows a substantial rise in support for Hamas during the ongoing intense military actions by Israel in the besieged area, The Middle East Eye reported.
Friday's poll showed that 40 percent of Saudis now have a positive perception of Hamas, a notable increase from just 10 percent in a poll conducted before the war began.
The survey further found that 87 percent of Saudis believe "Israel is so weak and internally divided that it could be defeated some day".
"Pro-Israel think tank" sounds like a dead end job.
'UN Office details alleged IDF 'Summary Killing' of Gaza Men in Front of Families
OHCHR noted that reporting on the killings "raises alarm about the possible commission of a war crime."
JESSICA CORBETT
Dec 20, 2023
https://www.commondreams.org/news/idf-war-crimes
Amid mounting war crime claims against Israeli troops, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights revealed Wednesday that it "has received disturbing information alleging that Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) summarily killed at least 11 unarmed Palestinian men in front of their family members" in the Gaza Strip.
Citing witness accounts shared by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor and journalists, OHCHR said that while raiding a Gaza City building where multiple related families were sheltering on Tuesday night, "the IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least 11 of the men, mostly aged in their late 20s and early 30s, in front of their family members."
"The IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child," added the office, which has confirmed the killings at Al Awda building—also known as the Annan building—but not the other details.
OHCHR noted that reporting on the killings in Gaza City's Al Remal neighborhood "raises alarm about the possible commission of a war crime" and "comes in the wake of earlier allegations concerning the deliberate targeting and killing of civilians at the hands of Israeli forces."
"The Israeli authorities must immediately institute an independent, thorough, and effective investigation into these allegations, and if found to be substantiated, those responsible must be brought to justice and measures implemented to prevent any such serious violations from recurring," the U.N. office declared.
"My sister informed me that an Israeli force raided the house and executed the young men... The Israeli soldiers later threw shells at the women, who were being held in one of the rooms."
Euro-Med Monitor said in a statement Wednesday that Israeli soldiers killed 13 people in the building and "kidnapped an elderly man, whose fate is still unknown," according to "horrific testimonies" obtained by the Geneva-based group.
"My sister informed me that an Israeli force raided the house and executed the young men," a relative of the victims told the monitor. "Thirteen persons were shot dead and several more were critically injured. The Israeli soldiers later threw shells at the women, who were being held in one of the rooms."
"My mother, my sister, and my brother's wife were injured along with several others," the relative added. "If they are not saved right away, they might die at any time."
The monitor noted that 27 women and children "trapped inside the house—many of whom with severe injuries or amputations—appealed to the International Committee of the Red Cross to coordinate their evacuation and save their lives."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy group in the United States, responded to the allegations by demanding a United Nations investigation.
"While the Biden administration blocks all attempts to end the genocide in Gaza, real people are being slaughtered daily in ways that echo the darkest periods of human history," said CAIR national communications director Ibrahim Hooper. "Our nation must call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to end the killing, ethnic cleansing, and starvation of an entire people—the very definition of genocide."
Israel's "genocidal" war on Gaza—launched in retaliation for a Hamas-led attack on October 7 that killed over 1,100 people—has left more than 20,000 Palestinians dead, including 8,000 children, displaced the vast majority of the besieged strip's 2.3 million residents, and devastated civilian infrastructure.
Separately on Wednesday, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) sent the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor a list of 40 IDF officers who had command responsibility over units involved in the assault and blockade of Gaza through mid-November.
While not comprehensive, DAWN said, "the list of identified Israeli officials serves as a repository of the prime Israeli suspects the ICC prosecutor (or any war crimes prosecutor) should consider in its ongoing investigation into violations of the Rome Statute in this war."
Meanwhile, despite growing global calls for a cease-fire, the United States—which gives Israel $3.8 billion in annual military aid and is now considering a $14.3 billion package for the war—delayed a U.N. Security Council vote on a Gaza resolution for the third time this week.

'Dozens of Elderly Gazans 'Executed' by Israeli Troops: Monitor
https://www.commondreams.org/news/elderly-gaza-victims
Euro-Med Monitor said 1,049 elderly men and women have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 7.
BRETT WILKINS

More than 1,000 Palestinian elders have been killed by Israeli bombs and bullets during the 10-week Gaza onslaught, with dozens of men and women over age 60 "executed" by Israel Defense Forces troops, a prominent human rights group said Friday.
"Israel has turned all people in the [Gaza] Strip into targets since the October 7 start of its ongoing genocide against Palestinians there," Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, a Geneva-based nonprofit, asserted in a statement.
Euro-Med Monitor said that 1,049 elderly men and women have been killed by Israeli forces since they began bombing the densely populated enclave in retaliation for the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel that left more than 1,100 people dead.
The group said the majority of elderly Gazan victims were crushed to death under the debris of their homes or the shelter where they sought safety amid Israel's near-relentless bombardment. Others were killed while venturing out in search of basic necessities.
"Alarmingly, however, dozens were targeted in killings and field executions," the NGO alleged. "These incidents included soldiers shooting elderly people immediately after ordering them to evacuate their homes, and in some cases, executing them just moments after their release from hours or days of arbitrary detention."
Shocking testimonies reveal the execution of dozens of elderly people by Israeli army in the Gaza Strip
https://euromedmonitor.org/en/articl...the-Gaza-Strip
Euro-Med Monitor noted:
The elderly Dr. Akram Abu Hasira and his wife were shot and left to bleed to death by Israeli forces on... December 21, after being forcibly evacuated from their home on Yarmouk Street in Gaza City. The soldiers then set fire to their home. Their son, Dr. Mahmoud Abu Hasira, reported that after the Israeli forces withdrew from the area, their family managed to bury the couple's bodies....
[Euro-Med Monitor] also highlighted the execution of Dr. Muhammad Eid Shabir, 77, former president of the Islamic University in Gaza, along with his wife, Rihab Muhammad Shabir, 74, on November 11... His daughter confirmed to Euro-Med Monitor that Israeli planes bombed her aunt's house on Abu Hasira Street in Gaza, killing five civilians, while 15 people survived the attack. The majority of victims were women and children...
"They came out alive, fleeing into the street, where my mother sent a distress message, and I heard my father's voice calling for one of his grandchildren," the daughter told Euro-Med Monitor... "After the start of the truce on November 25, my parents were found dead in the street on the opposite road to Shifa after they had been shot by an army sniper."
Other Gaza elders reportedly killed by Israeli forces but not highlighted in Euro-Med Monitor's statement include Nahida Khalil Anton, a 70-year-old Palestinian Christian woman who, along with her 50-year-old daughter Samar Kamal Anton, left the sanctuary of the Holy Family Parish in Gaza City to use a bathroom in another building. Both women were shot by an Israeli sniper or snipers; one while trying to carry the other to safety.
Israel denies killing the women. Pope Francis reacted angrily to the killings, accusing Israel of "terrorism."
This is Nahida Khalil Anton sitting by her daughter Samar Kamal Anton. Nahida and Samar were shot and killed by an IDF sniper while walking over to the Sisters' Convent to use the restroom. They had been seeking refuge in the Holy Family Parish in Gaza.

lderly Gazans also face a higher risk of starvation and disease, as Israel has cut off the flow of food, medicine, and hygiene staples.
"Tens of thousands of elderly people are at serious risk of death," warned Euro-Med Monitor, given that nearly 70% of them "suffer from chronic diseases, and the majority of them have not received any medical care, as most of the hospitals are out of service."
The group also noted that "distinct suffering experienced by elderly people residing in displacement camps, where there are no services or care options available to them that are appropriate for their age, health issues, inability to withstand cold weather, or frequent need to use the restroom. Notably, 700–1,000 people must use a single bathroom in these camps."
"Israel is waging a campaign of widespread punishment and killing, and oppressing Palestinian society's most vulnerable groups in a way that is seldom seen in the modern history of wars or armed conflicts," the statement concludes. "Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza fully unveils its blatant disregard for international humanitarian law and is a serious transgression of the principles of war."
Euro-Med Monitor's analysis came as the Palestinian death toll from 78 days of near-relentless Israeli attacks topped 20,000, with around 70% of those killed women and children. More than 50,000 others have been injured. Around 1.9 million of Gaza's 2.3 million people have also been forcibly displaced; most of the strip's homes have been damaged or destroyed.
"The need for a permanent cease-fire has become urgent, and... in order to stop the ongoing genocide war, an immediate international investigation must be launched into Israel's horrific crimes," the group said. "Any countries that remain silent are actively encouraging Israeli genocide." '

~~~Balfour Declaration 1917
November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely,

I get a multitude of hateful comments whenever I post information on the Isreal genocide of Palestinians on a 'freedom' social media group that is frequented by zionists spies. Annoying, but not surprising. I've seen this happen on other Canadian social media sites, including the CBC comment sections.
Here's an article describing how Isreal pays social media influencers for disseminating Isreal's propaganda.
https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/1...-gaza-genocide
Exposed: Israel is paying social media influencers to whitewash Gaza genocide
October 22, 2023
By Press TV Staff Writer
“I’m reaching out to you on behalf of a global collective of agencies, influencers, and content creators who are coming together to raise awareness about the difficult situation in Israel.”
This is a text from an email being sent to prominent social media influencers across the world by the Israeli regime and its lobbies based in the West, inviting them to join the disinformation campaign.
The campaign has gained momentum in the wake of the Tel Aviv regime’s indiscriminate bombing campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip as well as the occupied West Bank over the last two weeks.
More than 4,400 Palestinian civilians, most of them children, have been killed in the Israeli airstrikes.
The regime warplanes have also targeted hospitals, ambulances, churches and mosques in brazen violation of international humanitarian conventions, constituting horrendous war crimes.
To counter the global backlash and to distort facts about what’s unfolding in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli regime and its backers in the West are turning to social media influencers to whitewash its crimes.
“As you’re aware, the people of Israel are currently fighting not just a war against Hamas terrorism at home, but also in the battle to tell the story to the world,” reads one of the leaked emails.
The words employed in the emails show how the regime that has been murdering children and bombing hospitals is hell-bent on demonizing the Palestinian resistance fighters as “terrorists.”
Hamas-led ‘Al-Aqsa Storm’ (also known as Al-Aqsa Flood) operation launched on October 7 did not come in a vacuum. It was the natural response to daily atrocities inflicted on Palestinians.
From the crippling siege of Gaza to the recurrent desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque to the expansion of illegal settler units in occupied territories to the inhumane condition of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, the Palestinian resistance fighters had been waiting to give their response.
The surprise operation, which targeted the regime soldiers and settlers, took the far-right Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet by complete surprise and caused a major embarrassment to the regime amid the internal crisis.
After facing the crushing defeat on the battlefield, the regime’s cyber-army is now busy in hiring social media influencers, both in the Arab and Western world, to justify the unjustifiable war crimes.
“Our group has created a library of explainer videos that can be used directly on your platforms with hashtags #HAMASisISIS and #StandWithIsrael,” the email states further, adding that prominent influencers such as Kim Kardashian, Madonna, Gal Gadot, Casey Neistat and others have already joined.
The attempt is clearly to project Hamas as the villains and the child-murdering regime as heroes.
Sara Watson, a British social media influencer, took to her TikTok page to reveal that she had been approached by the Israeli regime, bribed and even coerced to retract her support for Palestine.
“That is not going to happen, you cannot buy my morals,” she said in a short video, noting that the brand she was working with informed her of their decision to not work with her anymore.
Watson was asked to pull down a post on Instagram that she had posted in solidarity with the people of Palestine and promised a hefty amount but she bluntly refused, she said in the video.
Another social media user, whose video was widely shared on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that the Israeli regime was paying social media influencers $1,000 for every video “to put out reports about Hamas being evil and savage and beheading babies.”
He slammed those social media influencers who took the media to participate in the regime’s disinformation campaign, saying they were “complicit in the genocide” unfolding in Gaza.
“It is always about controlling the narrative, it’s always about putting your propaganda out there, to justify the horrific things you do to people in the world, just like the United States does,” he said.
“It’s disgusting and as an American citizen I am going to continue to fight against my own country doing it and I’m going to continue fighting against Israel doing it. This is horrific.”
A social media user said the Israeli regime not only contacted TokTok influencers asking them to join a campaign to support the regime but also “threatened public figures like Faryal Makhdoom and Dina Torkia.”
The user shared a screenshot of a message that Makhdoom received on her Instagram page.
“If you support Israel and cease posting about Palestine, we will ensure you are rewarded lucratively,” reads the message. “If you don’t and if this is publicized, there will be severe consequences.”
Torkia also received a similar message, calling it a “typical behavior.”
The campaign comes as disinformation about the genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip has expanded alarmingly in recent days, with everyone from mainstream media to celebrities doing Israel’s bidding.
There has been a conscious attempt to whitewash the Israeli regime’s war crimes in Gaza and push the narrative that the Palestinian resistance movement is a “terrorist campaign.”
Even the bombing of a hospital in Gaza or the slaughtering of children in their homes has been defended by Western media outlets, social media influencers and political leaders."

⚡️IMPORTANT: Former israeli Deputy Chief of Staff statements:
• Israel waged a war without military objectives.
• We don’t tell the truth to our “citizens” and won’t be able to eliminate Hezbollah.
• The current lying approach means our people won’t return to their homes on the borders.
• Hamas achieved a strategic goal when it said to israel, “I am the one managing the conflict.”
• Gallant’s statements regarding Sinwar are meaningless war propaganda.
• Despite the destruction in Gaza, we appeared as a weak state that can’t defend itself without American assistance.
• A regime that views security as a priority cannot consider the Iranian threat greater than the Palestinian one

On this silent and holy night of #ChristmasEve, our hearts beat in unison for every soul born under God's watchful eyes. In the quiet reflection of this sacred evening, we remember those taken from us in #Gaza. Their voices may have been silenced, yet they live on, eternal and undying in our collective memory. Though their physical presence has been stolen away by #Israel, their spirits remain unbroken and free, forever cradled in the loving embrace of our thoughts and prayers. On this night, as the stars twinkle with a solemn promise, we realise that Israel can take lives, but never the memories, the love, the legacy. The children of Gaza remain with us, now and always.

Yes, it has been around for a while.
As much as I dislike the politics generated by privileged universities like Yale and Cambridge, a lot of "stuff" that they have is incredibly useful, and Yale is fine for law, regardless of whether I disagree with those laws.
Concerning the near miss earlier, here is another ripe opportunity to decide what to disagree with or not. Thanks to screaming "Iranian threat" the other day, take humble pie:
Quote:
“An American warship fired hysterically during a reconnaissance mission by Yemeni forces in the Red Sea,” Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said in a statement Sunday. One of the missiles nearly hit a Gabon-flagged oil tanker traveling from Russia, the spokesman added.
or dolled-up hubris:
Quote:
“Between 3 and 8 pm (Sanaa time), the USS Laboon (DDG 58) was patrolling in the Southern Red Sea as part of Operation Prosperity Guardian and shot down four unmanned aerial drones originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen that were inbound to the USS Laboon. There were no injuries or damage in this incident. At approximately 8 pm (Sanaa time) US Naval Forces Central Command received reports from two ships in the Southern Red Sea that they were under attack. The M/V Blaamanen, a Norwegian-flagged, owned and operated chemical/oil tanker, reported a near miss of a Houthi one-way drone attack drone with no injuries or damage reported. A second vessel, the M/V Saibaba, a Gabon-owned, Indian-flagged crude oil tanker, reported that it was hit by a one-way attack drone with no injuries reported. The USS Laboon responded to the distress calls from these attacks,” CENTCOM said.
According to MarineTraffic, the Saibaba sails under the flag of Gabon, not India.
The Houthis have said that they will intentionally target only commercial cargoes that are Israeli-owned or linked, or traveling to or from Israel.
It was Iranian drones. I mean Yemeni drones. I mean guys on speedboats...
Listen to the beginning of the end of the ground phase:
Quote:
The Palestinian resistance faced off against the occupation forces on the axes of Khan Yunis in a series of intense clashes. Simultaneously, the Israeli occupants launched heavy artillery shelling in an attempt to gain ground in Jabalia al-Balad. However, their efforts were met with fierce resistance from Palestinian fighters, forcing them to retreat.
Even the enemy’s media outlets have acknowledged the tenacity and resilience of the Palestinian resistance. The Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, noted that Hamas has been displaying remarkable patience on the ground and improving their fighting tactics, leading to the escalating number of casualties within the Israeli occupation army. Reports from various combat zones in Gaza highlight the use of snipers against Israeli occupation soldiers, exposing vulnerabilities in the Israeli occupation forces.
“Hamas is meticulously identifying the weaknesses of the Israeli army in Gaza and launching targeted attacks based on this information,” the newspaper stated, emphasizing the strategic precision adopted by the Palestinian resistance.
Why don't you just hire a million people to post garbage on the internet. That will always have a future. "Israeli think tanks" as useful business advisors may not. So clever!
