- Bad News For Bibi: New Poll Shows Most Americans Oppose Israel:
A new Gallup Poll released today shows a dramatic decline in US support for Israel's actions in Gaza, with the majority of Americans opposing Israel. Among Democrats, the opposition is even higher, promising more headaches for Biden. Also today: Media meltdown on Ronna's (now-cancelled) MSNBC contract.

While other unenforceable things are sounding important, this guy has an expression of I'm tired of repeating myself:
https://sana.sy/en/wp-content/upload...03/7777777.jpg
Quote:
Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and other international organizations working in Geneva, Ambassador Haider Ali Ahmed, has reaffirmed Syria’s inalienable right to restore the occupied Syrian Golan.
In a statement at the 55th session of the Human Rights Council, under “item VII” on the human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories, Ali Ahmad added that the impunity of the Israeli occupation entity has encouraged it to persist in its criminal and terrorist attacks, which constitute a threat to global peace and security.
He stressed Syria’s categorical condemnation of the criminals of the Israeli occupation and all those who provide them with political coverage and military and economic support to commit more killing and bloodshed in occupied Palestine.
“The Syrian Arab Republic affirms its inalienable right to restore the occupied Syrian Golan, and calls on all countries not to recognize any steps taken by the occupying power to perpetuate its occupation, and to refrain from providing any assistance that would enable it to continue its violation of international law,” the Syrian diplomat said.
He added “Syria also urges the international community to put pressure to implement successive United Nations recommendations to immediately and completely halt the establishment and expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory and in the occupied Syrian Golan, and all other related activities.”
Ali Ahmed continued: “The unprecedented situation of impunity has encouraged “Israel,” the occupying power, to persist in its criminal and terrorist attacks against the Syrian Arab Republic and to launch repeated attacks against residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure, including civilian airports.”
Syria’s permanent representative stated that the Israeli occupation continues its attempts to perpetuate its occupation of the occupied Syrian Golan, and to create geographical and demographic facts to stabilize the illegal annexation plan.
Ali Ahmed noted that the increasingly brutal and bloody crimes of the colonial occupation based on apartheid did not deter some countries from continuing to support this occupation and provide it with justifications for its crimes, nor did they deter the United States of America from applying its only standard, which is absolute and blind support for the occupying power.
Ali Ahmed thanked those States that had demonstrated their concern for international law and had engaged in discussions of item VII, which aimed to put an end to an occupation that committed grave, systematic, long-term and unprecedented violations of human rights.
Meanwhile, another occupation is still ongoing:

It just means the Saudis have stopped bombing civilians and have more or less "dug in" without further military encroachments. It's just some kind of ceasefire that I think is mostly holding, as most of the news appears to be problems with Americans and Israelis.
Again I take it as a sign that the counter-strategy is working, because Saudi Arabia has not really committed unnecessary violence in Syria or Yemen for a few years. For them, that's considered progress.
Syria is somewhat Russian, they are leaving a very blatant paper trail giving clear precedence for whatever may come to pass.

- Why the United States Can NEVER Stop Israel 🇮🇱
75 year long apartheid, 16 year long blockade of Gaza and now committing genocide. Pure evil.
Over 65,000 tonnes of ordnance have been dropped in Gaza, which is equivalent to more than 3 times what was dropped in Hiroshima.
Why the Israeli lobby is yet not registered as Foreign Agent while even some foreign journalists are registered as such!
Many of us are aware of how the "AIPAC Loop" works.
- 1. Congress allocates money to Israel
- 2. Israel allocates money to AIPAC
- 3. AIPAC makes "campaign donations" to Congress
- 4. Loop back to 1.

One step closer to WW3 ? Acording to islamic eschatology armageddon will be when islam and christianity(russia) join forces in fight against antichrist (israel and USA).
Also the Golan Heights has enough gas to fuel whole Israels energy needs for centuries.Ratchild with his Genie energy is drilling for gas over there. Would be a shame if Assad kicked out the occupiers...

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have now stepped up operations in Syria, striking ISIS and pushing the IDF out of the illegally held territory of Syria.
Golan is just another hotspot on the Lebanese border:
https://s2.cdnstatic.space/wp-conten...alestine-1.jpg
There isn't much to see from Syria:
On March 28, the Russian Ministry of Defense recorded no cases of hostilities and ceasefire violations in the Idlib region in the past 24 hours;
On March 27, SAA artillery shelled HTS positions in the Kfar Taal area;
On March 27, SAA artillery shelled HTS positions in the Kfar Amma area;
ISIS claimed responsibility for three attacks against the SDF in the countryside of Deir Ezzor and Hasakah;
Two former rebels were killed by unknown gunmen in the town of Mahajjah.
They are already successfully bogged down by Zionism across some 40% of the territory, which understandably prevents them from inflaming Golan.
Israeli Hanita settlement:
https://english.almanar.com.lb/frame...7116457684.jpg
According to Drago Bosnic on why this ISIS coverup sounds so dumb:
Quote:
However, the question is – why is it all so sloppy and too obvious? If analysts and journalists noticed all this so easily, Russian intelligence and state services certainly know far more. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently pointed out this hypocrisy, referring to the offer by so-called “international institutions” to supposedly “help” with the investigation regarding the latest terrorist attack, but ignored similar Russian requests regarding the Nord Stream sabotage. It should be noted that this terrorist attack was also previously announced by the US, which pledged to ensure that the pipeline becomes “a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea”. In other words, the true terrorists aren’t even bothering to hide anymore (and haven’t been for quite some time now).
NATO now needs a way to push Russia to attack first. The only way to do so is to provoke a reaction, which is why the world’s most aggressive military cartel organized the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall. In that way, NATO is pushing Russia to retaliate and then present it as the “aggressor”, giving the political West a perfect pretext to wage a “defensive war”. That’s the only way to ensure the participation of the entire (or at least most of) NATO. However, once the Pandora’s Box is opened, there won’t be going back.
I think there would be a dis-incentive for Russia to directly strike Golan. Their "operations" are naval and air bases in the northwest of Syria. Not sure they have what it takes to liberate an entire province in the opposite direction. I could understand a few airstrikes on ISIS camps, sure. But I, at least, am unaware of anything new or unusual around there.

This is highly interesting. Could you quote a source for this?
I have confronted friends, acquaintances, clients since the times of John Paul II (the Pope who admirably convened the world's religions in the blessed town of Assisi – Saint Francis’ town) with the following thought experiment: what would your, people’s, humanity’s reaction be if the Pope did the following simple thing:
On Easter Sunday he would appear at the balcony of St. Peter’s basilica and say: “NON EST DIVUS SIVE DEUS ET MAHOMETUS EST EI APOSTOLUS”: “There is no divine except God and Muhammad is His apostle.” (This English phrasing being the closest approximation of the Arabic sentence. An equivalent one might start with: “There is no divine except the Most Divine...”).
?
It might allow Muslim faithful who understand the Qur'an in the Sufi way, i.e. esoterically, mystically, while accepting the – esoterically interpreted – divine nature of their “Prophet of Love” (Jesus), to feel welcome in Christian places of prayer – and might be the one masterly stroke that would unify Abrahamic religions before allowing them to encounter the religions of “the East” on an equal footing.
Thus, it would allow religions in general to better substantiate their old claim of being the sole authoritative judges of the political world.

Sheikh Imran Hosein got many lectures on this topic. I tried to find one that is rather compact and informative that i listened years ago but cant find it at the moment.I keep seeking,i add it if i find. But alot of his lectures are about it and he has so many of them so dont know which one to recommend..

Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
Thank you Jaak. That is well known -- but it is clearly meant to be a Muslim force comprising the totality of converted Christians. It seemed to me that you were referring to something where both religions were on equal footing.
But more specifically I was asking about what you put between brackets: the Muslim eschatological sources for the equation of good Christianity with Russia – the equation of the Antichrist with Israel and the USA being known to be part of modern Twelver Shia political theology.
Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
I suggest dwell through some lectures from Sheikh and he probably gives you better answers than i do .

I will add this one because of i got much respect for both of them
Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
When I am thinking and remembering all of the acts... what was happening during the Trump administration... in these pivotal moments we are living now... it's Golan Heights too!
I am sensing, not good will come from Trump's actions years back... he was running diplomacy at his time in WH very very pro zionistic... he didn't ask people, what was their opinions regarding of that matter...
There were very very bad decisions made... consequences are partly here and they may for sure continue to happen.... Look forward about Golan Heights too!
So irresponsible!

“NON EST DIVUS SIVE DEUS ET MAHOMETUS EST EI APOSTOLUS”: “There is no divine except God and Muhammad is His apostle.”
Just to throw this out there.
This kind of thing is the exact reason I did not convert to either Syrian Orthodoxy or Islam, both of which were invited to me on a red carpet basis.
For whatever reason, only those two. I have not had an "outreach" from Catholics, Jews, Protestants, any of these people, although I have been invited to physically go to their places. So I have only been in them physically. Orthodoxy and Islam were more interested in "talking" to me and deriving a personal commitment.
I am not supposed to go in and say La Illahah, Illa Allah and give my own interpretation of it. That would be Shirk which is very rude and so I think it is more honest of me to keep a distance and say, I don't understand, and, at a certain level, probably disagree with, you. It would be the same with the Christians. I can see some benefit, such as it is good to prevent man from reverting to feral, but I don't think I have what it takes to conform to the Prophets. I do agree with one of the basic things I was taught, which is neither the Muslim or the Orthodox is allowed to "pass judgment" on a "non-believer", and you are expected to as freely give help to persons of another faith as those of your own. That is why the terrible Mystery is that there is the same universal love for, for example, Netanyahu, as there is for you.
Today, I am not sure what it means to attach this to two out of ten statements, but, they say:
The third statement indicated that, in response to the “Israeli” enemy’s attacks in Damascus and Aleppo, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted, at 12:40 pm on Friday, March 29, 2024, the command headquarters of Brigade “91” in Branit barracks with Burkan missiles, resulting in direct hits.
The sixth statement indicated that, in response to the “Israeli” enemy’s attacks in Damascus and Aleppo, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted at 4:00 pm on Friday, March 29, 2024, Jal Al-Allam site and the deployment of enemy soldiers in its vicinity it with Falaq missiles.
Branit has been roughed up by Burkans probably six times by now. It is not unusual for Israel to launch missiles at Syria, some of which are deflected, some of which are hits. At times I do not think it could be disputed that among the victims are Hezbollah or Iranian personnel. Just not in great numbers. It is correct that several Hezbollah units fought militias around Lebanon's eastern border during the height of the Syrian tension. Nothing like that is present now.
What Israeli Prime Minister has a political future in fighting Hezbollah?
Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
From The Moon of Alabama, about the angrily argued disputes in the UN Security Council.
At the UN it is a Rogue U.S. Against the Rest of the World
Ted Snider asks:
Is America a Rogue Superpower?“Unipolar” used to mean that the United States was, at least in theory, alone in leading the world. Now “unipolar” means that the United States is alone and isolated in opposition to the world.
Snider refers to the recent UN Security Council resolution 2728 which "demands" a ceasefire in Gaza and "demands" a release of hostages and "demands" the unhindered supply of food and other items to Gaza.
The U.S. has claimed, falsely, that the resolution is not binding.
As Snider writes: On March 25, the U.S. went one step further and took a step toward becoming a rogue state who has supplanted international law with its rules-based order. International law is grounded in the charter system and the United Nations and is universally applicable. The rules-based order is composed of unwritten laws whose source, consent, and legitimacy are unknown. To the global majority, those unwritten laws have the appearance of being invoked when they benefit the U.S. and its partners and not being invoked when they don’t.
On March 25, the Security Council passed a resolution demanding “an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire.” The resolution was able to pass because the U.S. stood aside and let the other fourteen Security Council members pass it by abstaining instead of vetoing.
But in her explanation of the American abstention after the resolution passed, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield “surprisingly” said that “we fully support some of the critical objectives in this nonbinding resolution.”
Her claim that the Security Council resolution was nonbinding was not an off script, impromptu comment. It is the strategy of a country that enforces, not international law, but the U.S. led rules-based order.
Arnaud Bertrand has added a similar thought:Since the beginning, it's been obvious that Gaza was in many ways a fight between International Law and the US's "rules-based order". This whole episode around the UN resolution is a perfect illustration of this. There is no debate amongst international law scholars that resolutions by the UN Security Council that "demand" certain actions are binding (good explanation by a legal scholar here). In fact resolutions by the council ARE international law, article 25 of the UN Charter clearly states: "The Members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the present Charter."
Yet the US now argues that the "rule" is in fact different: "It's a non-binding resolution, so there's no impact at all on Israel".
Where is this rule written, that somehow when the UNSC "demands an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire", it's non-binding and "there's no impact at all" on the warring party?
Nowhere, that's the beauty of the rules-based order: the rules are made-up in the moment to fit the interests of the U.S. and its henchmen, depending on the circumstances.
The big issue here is that the whole world, literally, disagrees with the U.S. claims.
Snider again: All UN Security Council resolutions are legally binding and have the status of international law. That is why UN Secretary General António Guterres said, “This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.” UN deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq explained that, “All the resolutions of the Security Council are international law. They are as binding as international laws.”
Others responded the same way to the U.S. claim. On behalf of the ten elected members of the Security Council who drafted the resolution, Pedro Comissario, Mozambique’s envoy to the United Nations, said, “All United Nations Security Council resolutions are binding and mandatory.” He then added, “It is the hope of the 10 that the resolution adopted today will be implemented in good faith by all parties.”
The United Kingdom also did “not share” the U.S. claim, prompting their envoy to the UN to say, “we expect all Council resolutions to be implemented. This one is not any different. The demands in the resolution are absolutely clear.” China, too, did not share the U.S. evaluation. “China’s U.N. Ambassador Zhang Jun said Security Council resolutions are binding.”
France too rejects the U.S. claim and insists that UNSC Res 2728 is absolutely binding and especially binding for Israel:"A United Nation Security Council resolution is binding under international law. All concerned parties MUST implement it, especially Israel, to whom it is incumbent to apply this resolution."
Russia has said similar:Russia's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that UN Security Council Resolution 2728 on Gaza, which calls for an immediate cease-fire and access for humanitarian aid, is binding for all sides, including Israel.
...
"The Russian side expects that the binding UN Security Council Resolution 2728 will contribute to de-escalating violence in Gaza, including preventing the Israeli operation in Rafah, freeing hostages, (and) increasing humanitarian assistance to civilians in the sector," it said.
Four of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - including two major U.S. allies -, all of its non-permanent members and the UN Secretary General have explicitly said that UNSC Res 2728 is binding.
The U.S. (plus maybe a few of its minor proxies) is the only state which publicly disputes that.
Bertrand points out that this will have huge consequences:There's no overstating how consequential this is for the integrity of international relations. By doing so, the US effectively destroys the world order it largely created after WW2 because it effectively tells everyone that the set of institutions, rules and norms that underpin it are meaningless. We're effectively now in a world system where everyone realizes the police, the government, the basic set of beliefs, have become completely corrupted. This changes everything. What comes next? I think there's no coming back for the U.S. And I think they know this, maybe unconsciously, otherwise they would at least pretend to act for the better good of all. The fact they don't shows they've effectively abdicated ambitions to restore their hegemony: they're now nakedly in it to milk the system for themselves, universal pretentions have gone.
This UN Security Council is not the only institution which the U.S. tries to destroys after having largely created it.
In 2019 the World Trade Organization lost its appeal court:The appellate body of the World Trade Organization (WTO), considered the supreme court for international trade, lost its ability to rule on new dispute cases at midnight Tuesday. The panel, whose decisions affect billions of dollars in global trade, is supposed to have seven judges. But their ranks have dwindled because the United States — under the past three presidents — has blocked replacements to protest the way the WTO does business.
A minimum of three judges is needed to issue rulings and the terms of two of the last three judges ended at midnight Tuesday.
This will deal a major blow to the global trading system, critics say, arguing that the situation risked creating a system of trade relations based on power rather than binding international rules.
The U.S. is now using protectionism, subsidies and tariffs, which are clearly illegal under WTO rules it had previously agreed to. But as it has managed, without having any serious argument, to destroy the WTO's court their is no longer a direct way it can get penalized for it.
But trade is only one field of international relations and other WTO members have found ways to solve disputes even without its court.
The stakes are much higher when it comes to matters of peace and of wars waged with the intent of genocide.
Bertrand concludes: Most countries however don't want to live in an "eat or get eaten"/"might makes right" world, without rules or norms. So in time a new system will arise.
The biggest unknowns being: can it arise without a major global war, who will lead the construction of its foundations and how can it be set up so that this time around it is fair for all and respected by all?
I'll leave it to you to ponder those questions.
Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
- Colonel Douglas Macgregor We Are On the Brink of Total War The Time To Act Is Now:
Retired US Army Colonel
As the war in Ukraine rages on and the mainstream media continues to insist that Russian troops are lacking morale and losing ground, it’s important to take a moment and consider how many lives are actually being affected and lost in this territorial battle.
And, contrary to reports, there are many experts and military analysts who insist the true cost of this war to Ukraine doesn’t bear thinking about, arguing that not only do they have zero chance of winning, but picking up the pieces from the remnants of what remains in Ukraine is a task that seems to have been given little consideration.
To get to the heart of the matter, I’m delighted to be welcoming back a guest who is an expert in every sense of the word and believes it is high time that negotiations with Putin begin, as the economic ramifications are beginning to mount in both Europe and the US.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor is a decorated combat veteran, retired US Army Colonel, author and foreign policy expert who is widely recognised for his leadership in the Battle of 73 Easting during the Gulf War – the US Army’s largest tank battle since World War II.
His distinguished career began in 1976 when he was commissioned into the Regular Army after completing his studies at the Virginia Military Institute and West Point.
During his 28 years of service, he held numerous leadership positions and taught in the Department of Social Sciences at West Point, while his innovative ideas on military transformation and force design have had a profound impact on the global stage, influencing policies in Israel, Russia, and China.
As an author, his groundbreaking ideas have resulted in five books, including Breaking The Phalanx and Transformation Under Fire, and seen him feature as a regular commentator on defence and foreign policy issues on various media platforms including CNN, the BBC, Sky and Fox News, most notably as the go-to guy on Tucker Carlson’s now-defunct show.
In late 2020, Douglas was appointed Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defence by then-President Donald Trump, a position he held until the end of the Trump administration, while he has also served as an expert witness before the Senate and House Armed Services Committees.
Douglas believes that Ukraine is being catastrophically defeated and it is only a matter of time before Russia assumes full control, while arguing that the West, in particular the US and Biden, are pretending to have built a powerful Ukrainian army.
He also suggests that far from dissension and mutiny in Russia, they are in fact a more unified and cohesive nation than at any time in the last 30 years, contrary to the false narratives surrounding events circulating in the mainstream news.
