Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War

The whole interview below with Phil Giraldi is very interesting. Begins with the firing of Victoria Nuland over Ukraine, then goes on to free speech issues.

In particular, at 15:00 in the interview: South Dakota governor Christy Noem, who is close to Donald Trump, and possible VP for Trump. Noem has recently initiated a law to criminalize ‘anti-semitism’, that will consider criticism of Israel as ‘anti-semitic’. Ron DeSantis has done the same thing for Florida.
Essentially they are criminalizing Americans who would criticise Israel and its policies.
This would be a total contradiction of the Constitution's first amendment with regards to free speech.
Phil Giraldi states that this is caused by corruption in the USA political system.

So, Republicans are perhaps even more embroiled into the apartheid Israel control of USA congress than Democrats. But then, Joe Biden denies there’s a genocide in Gaza…

Looks like most critics don't dare to say it explicitely on youtube, so I'll say it here clearly: the USA political system, both Republicans and Democrats, are under the control of the mad zionists who are sucking the USA dry to provide to the endless middle east wars waged for the benefit of Israel's grand scheme of expansion.

Israel-Hamas war: Benjamin Netanyahu vows to push ahead with assault on Rafah, despite international criticism
Israel's prime minister insists civilians will be allowed to leave before his country's military moves to "eliminate the remaining terrorist battalions in Rafah".

A defiant Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to press ahead with a long-expected assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, despite international criticism.

The Israeli prime minister was speaking on Sunday following a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as he reiterated his promise to "eliminate the remaining terrorist battalions in Rafah".

But he also said this promise "goes hand in hand with enabling the civilian population to leave", although he gave no details as to where they could go.

"It's not something we will do while keeping the population locked in place," he said of the planned assault.

"In fact, we'll do the very opposite - we will enable them to leave because our consideration for reducing and minimising civilian casualties has guided us and will continue to guide us in future."

Israel's military offensive in Gaza was launched in the wake of Hamas's 7 October attack, when the militant group killed 1,200 people and abducted more than 250, some of whom are still hostages.

As the conflict approaches the end of its sixth month and with little progress in ceasefire talks, the number of Palestinians killed has passed 31,000, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, although those figures do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.

Israel's offensive has driven most of Gaza's 2.3 million people from their homes, more than one million of them sheltering in Rafah.

A quarter of the population is starving, according to the UN, with aid organisations struggling to get food through due to Israeli restrictions and security concerns.

In desperation, a small group of countries has resorted to dropping aid from the air and deliveries have finally been going by sea - but neither of these makes up for the capacity that should be brought in by road.

Commenting on the possibility of an offensive on Rafah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sissi said it would have "grave repercussions on the whole region".

And Mr Scholz, after his Sunday meeting with Mr Netanyahu, warned: "The more desperate the situation of people in Gaza becomes, the more this begs the question: No matter how important the goal, can it justify such terribly high costs, or are there other ways to achieve your goal?"

Even some in the US, Israel's staunchest ally, have been losing patience with Mr Netanyahu.

US Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in America and a strong Israel supporter, said Israel should hold a new election, saying Mr Netanyahu had "lost his way".

The Israeli PM said the comments were "wholly inappropriate", adding that his country was "not a banana republic", but US President Joe Biden described Mr Schumer's words as a "good speech".

On Sunday, Mr Netanyahu insisted: "Hamas has to be eliminated.

"We cannot have a future for Gaza, a future for peace, a future for Israel, if Hamas - a terrorist organisation committed to our genocide - remains in tact."

FULL SPEECH of Tony Benn exposing West’s hypocrisy will give you goosebumps
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ynZqi6mvzxE (17:28)

"In February 1998, the British parliament debated a motion for military strike against the then Saddam Hussain regime of Iraq if it did not comply with United Nations weapons inspectors.

"The then Labour MP, Tony Benn, spoke passionately against his government’s motion and made a compelling case against the war.

Benn, who died in 2014, has always been regarded as a statesman of British politics. Interestingly, the person sitting next to Benn in a brown jacket is none other than Jeremy Corbyn, who was ousted by the current Labour leadership for criticising Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.

This speech was originally recorded by the House of Commons. However, we have sourced this video from C-SPAN and sharing this with our thanks to the US non-profit organisation."

Not about Palestine, but about Iraq following 9/11. I felt it was relevant on this thread because what is happening now in the Middle East is just the next chapter in attempted regime change, and the perpetrators of the chaos and deaths are the same. :facepalm:

The late, great Tony Benn posed the rhetorical question - 'Don't arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die?....'

Those people fomenting war and profiting from war and creating death + suffering and mayhem - have a lot to answer for - - - - and if there is any justice in this world WILL have to make recompense one way or another for their sins and crimes against humanity.... if not in this life....in another...

enough is enough for heaven's sake - then and now -

That represents a major company??

I mean, I can certainly believe that most facilities like this are going to tank, and they won't be back. But for something with 60+ years of operation in multiple fields, that sure sounds tiny. Around here we can easily get sixty illegal immigrants to make "Made in America" AR-15s, ICE bust them about once a year, and get a free refill of new immigrants. That only represents one brand. Hard to imagine anything of that size being truly significant, but ok.

The only reason I might argue against that is the presumption it was against their will and they had to be coerced.

I might rather say the Mono-party *are* the Zionists, under whose control are things like free speech or perhaps the human soul, which means the source of the problem is the American political system. I am not in favor of it, I think it needs to be dissected.

I'll cross-link Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai as the first anti-Zionist candidate. He is similar to RFK, a Covid challenger, except yes, Kennedy still has Israeli leanings.

I know nothing more--just noticed the post a few days ago--but let's say he can't represent WASP elite.

Schumer's Shameful Speech Targeting Israel Is Deeply Disturbing For U.S. Security

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=XhEHiZUl078

And here From: SBS News in Australia

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu railed Sunday against growing criticism from the United States against his leadership amid the devastating war with Hamas, saying the pressure won’t stop Israel from achieving “total victory.”

In recent days, top officials from the U.S., Israel’s staunchest ally which has provided key military and diplomatic support, have publicly voiced their frustration with Netanyahu and his government. U.S. President Joe Biden accused Netanyahu of hurting Israel because of the huge civilian death toll in Gaza.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in the country and a strong Israel supporter, called on Israel to hold a new election, saying Netanyahu had “lost his way.” Biden expressed support for what he called Schumer’s “good speech.”

Netanyahu snapped back on an interview with Fox, “I think Schumer's statements are wholly inappropriate,” he said.

“It's wrong to try to replace the elected leaders of a sister democracy and a staunch American ally at any time, but especially during the time of war.”

Tensions run high as Cenk Uygur And Rabbi Shmuley once again join Piers Morgan Uncensored for another fiery confrontation, this time centred around Israel's plans to launch an offensive in Rafah, and Israel's right to self-defence.

Emotions run high as personal attacks are exchanged between the two guests. Rabbi Shmuley accused Cenk Uygur of being sympathetic to Hamas and equated the Young Turks to the Hitler Youth, while Uygur criticized Shmuley for resorting to ad hominem attacks and refusing to engage in a constructive dialogue.

Despite their differences, both guests expressed a desire for peace and a resolution to the conflict that respects the rights and dignity of all parties involved.

Candace Owens' comments about a supposed sex ring run by Jews in Hollywood to blackmail artists were deemed as antisemitic and baseless. The conversation also touched on the need to separate criticism of Israel's government from attacks on Jewish individuals worldwide.

The debate then shifted to the topic of Kosher Sex, where Rabbi Shmuley and his daughter discussed the importance of maintaining erotic passion within marriage. The promotion of products aimed at enhancing sexual experiences within marriage was met with criticism and indifference from some panel members.

Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Tuesday a new strike on a US ship in the Red Sea, and a missile strike on the Zionist entity’s Umm Al-Rashrash (Eilat).

In a statement, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the naval forces targeted US ship “MADO” in the Red Sea with a number of appropriate naval missiles.

He added that the Yemeni Armed Forces also fired a number of cruise missiles at Israeli targets in the Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) area in southern occupied Palestine.

Syrian air defenses successfully shot down hostile targets in the vicinity of Yabroud in the Damascus countryside early Tuesday. The attack, confirmed by a Syrian military source, was carried out by Israeli occupation forces from the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting various military points.

The swift response from Syrian air defense systems managed to intercept several Israeli missiles, downing a number of them. There were no reported human casualties, with losses limited to material damages.

Reports of explosions in the skies surrounding the Syrian capital had initially raised alarm among residents. These recent developments follow a similar incident just a few days ago when Syrian air defenses repelled an Israeli aggression directed towards the Qalamoun Mountains and the town of al-Qastal in the Damascus countryside.



And what it's like to be Jewish in Israel:

Declaring that they would rather die than enlist in the Israeli occupation army, Haredi demonstrators blocked a light rail in occupied Al-Quds and scuffled with occupation police on Monday night.

Israeli media reported that dozens of ultra-Orthodox men block the tracks of the light rail in protest against their planned conscription into the occupation army.

“If you go to the army, you and dogs are equal,” they chant, riffing off of enlistment advocates’ call for “equality of the burden” between Haredi and secular Israelis.

Israeli media reported that a driver ran over an ultra-Orthodox protester who was blocking the road during the protest.

The occupation police said several of the demonstrators were also arrested for damaging vehicles. They also called police officers “Nazis” and told them to “go die in Gaza,” according to Israeli media.

The demonstrators belong to the Jerusalem Faction, an extremist Haredi group numbering some 60,000 members. Considered among the most conservative of Haredi factions, its members regularly demonstrate against the enlistment of yeshiva students.

Last month, members of the group blocked a route near the Haredi city of Bnei Brak while others blocked a light rail route in the nearby city of Petah Tikva.

Haredi men of military age have been able to avoid the draft for decades by enrolling for study in yeshivas and obtaining repeated one-year service deferrals until they reach the age of military exemption.

A law that authorizes this exemption expired in June 2023, and a temporary regulation to extend it is set to expire at the end of March, after which the military will not be authorized to exempt Haredi young men from the draft and will need to start enlisting them amid the war in Gaza.

Building on an unprecedented wave of settler violence in 2023, Israeli attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have intensified since October 7, with over 400 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and settlers over the past five months.

Last week, the Biden administration imposed sanctions on three Israeli settlers and two Israeli outposts in the occupied West Bank for assaulting, harassing and threatening Palestinians and violently expelling many from their land.
Investigative journalist Shane Bauer traveled to the territory to map out the violence against Palestinians that has escalated since October 7, and visited the illegal outposts of "two very dangerous men" targeted by the sanctions: Neria Ben-Pazi and Moshe Sharvit. "The elephant in the room here is that [Moshe Sharvit], along with Neria Ben-Pazi, is supported by the state of Israel directly," says Bauer. "According to the language of the sanctions, that would mean that the state of Israel itself and all the various organizations that are supporting him should themselves be sanctioned.

But, of course, they haven't been." Bauer describes how "the line between settlers and the army virtually disappeared after October 7," as far-right Israeli cabinet members push for "a formalization of apartheid," in the West Bank.
