🇺🇸🇮🇱 So much for the ceasefire!!!
Trump authorizes the delivery of 1,800 MK-84 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, reversing a block imposed during the Biden administration.
These bombs, known for their devastating power, are expected to arrive in Israel within days.
Remember, both Smotrich and Bibi refused to agree to a ceasefire without a guarantee of a return to war in the most brutal way.

No problem. The Library is a free public resource, and although the search function is rather simple right now everything can be found if it's there. :thumbsup:Quote:

Trump might have stopped the carnage in Gaza but he will go for the final solution and his son in law Jared Kushner might be behind the real estate project in Gaza, once they will have displaced the Gaza population.

A lot of bluffing from Trump. The reality is that he's terrified by the fact that USA is in 37 trillions $$$ debt, and the BRICS have gained so much momentum that their trade surpasses the G7's, and are no longer subject to the whims and sanctions of the west.
So, Trump thinks that if he can bluff & bully enough he can still fool people to do his hegemonic bidding. This is a classic case of the emperor with no clothes.
Trump should be advised to turn off the tap that's been drastically draining USA all these years: the Israel lobby and their false flag wars of land thefts.

That still overlooks Kurdistan, which superficially looks American -- Israeli, but still has separatists who don't get interviewed.
There's no particular guarantee that a single Syria will emerge from this:

Written by Damir Nazarov
It seems that the first seams of Syria’s disintegration began to show themselves already at the beginning of this year. Due to the inability of the Tahrir al-Sham regime to unite Syria and create a comprehensive adequate government, the Syrian Republic began to show the first signs of the country’s collapse.
Syria is de facto divided into four parts, which risk turning into eight if the Syrians continue to tolerate the jihadist dictatorship. The four parts of Syria are: 1 – Suwayda of the Druze, 2 – Rojava of the Kurds, 3 – the pro-Turkish leadership in Aleppo and 4 – the Tahrir al-Sham Emirate in Damascus. Speaking about the continuation of the division of Syria, in the long term we can single out the autonomy in Daraa under the control of the insurgents of the “southern front” of the war against Assad and the Alawite state in the northwest of the country.
Zionism may triumph, because it is the one that insists most on the division of Syria, and in this matter it is unwittingly assisted by the new dictatorship of Damascus. Tahrir al-Sham still cannot create a new model of existence for all Syrians, instead, the former al-Qaeda insists on the introduction of the puritanical laws of neo-Kharijism. Looking at the incompetence of Jabhat Nusra, “Israel” has already begun to use the time to realize its long-standing dream of dismembering Syria.
In addition to insisting to the international community that the Kurds and Druze be granted independence, Zionism has established secret contacts with the Alawite group in Tartus.
I dare to assume that the connection between the Zionists and the Alawites goes through two channels, local Shirazists (a sect of followers of Ayatollah Shirazi, advocating an anti-Iranian agenda) and the remnants of the Baath regime, which have long had channels of communication with “Israel”. Thus, the list of autonomous cantons, according to the Zionist occupiers, has increased. According to the latest information, the Alawites have not yet officially asked the Zionists for help, but an appeal to the French and their co-religionists in Turkey has been recorded.
But beyond the desires of “Israel”, the sectarianism of the Takfirists and the ambitions of the leaders of separatist tendencies, there is another important factor in the ongoing crisis. The old feud between the Gulf states has again come to the surface. With Trump’s arrival in the White House, the old feud between the UAE-Saudi Arabia tandem and Qatar is reviving. The first two are old allies of the Republicans and, judging by how the Emirates are conducting their policy in Syria, the beginning of the fight with Qatar inside the “Sham territory” has been laid.
The fact that the Southern Front factions of the former Syrian opposition have not laid down their arms as part of Tahrir al-Sham’s program to disband the faction speaks to the demonstration of the UAE’s influence, since the top of the “southern operational headquarters” has direct ties with Abu Dhabi. In view of Qatar’s old ties to the current Syrian dictatorship, we see the first line of clash of interests of the Gulf autocracies.
Although the UAE condemns the expansion of the Zionists in Syria, it nevertheless willingly supports the southern insurgents in opposition to the Tahrir al-Sham regime, which in fact reflects the approach of “Israel” to Syria. The justification for such support is the requirement for the jihadists to begin the process of “democratization of the Syrian political system.” But behind the curtain of official claims, the UAE is simply trying to impose its influence in the new Syria, where the main opponent for the Emirates is the tandem of the Turks and Qatar.
In the event of the establishment of a real democratic system in Syria, the UAE and Qatar will begin to play by new rules, creating political blocs loyal to themselves against each other, but that is another story.
Will tomorrow conclude the non-ceasefire in Lebanon?
They are not just shooting people to this day, they are burning farmland and basically doing all they can to make it uninhabitable.
The world will be watching for prosecutions and legal reforms with its finger on the trigger.

I’m free! I wrote this on the plane and I’m posting it just after landing at Istanbul. On Monday evening I was brought to Zurich airport in handcuffs, in a small metal cage inside a windowless prison van and led all the way to the plane by police. This is after three days and two nights in a Swiss prison cut off from communication with the outside world, in a cell 24 hours a day with one cell mate, not even permitted to contact my family. On Saturday in a police interview in the presence of my lawyer they accused me of “offending against Swiss law” without ever telling me what crime I had committed in Switzerland or listing any charges. As far as I know I have not been charged with any crime whatsoever and I was held in “administrative detention.” On Sunday morning, they took me from my cell for questioning by Swiss defense ministry intelligence agents without the presence of my lawyer, and they again refused to allow me to contact her or my family. I refused to talk to them without my lawyer and told them take me back to my cell. During my imprisonment I refused every meal and every cup of coffee or tea they offered me except the last meal, after I knew I would be going home. I accepted only water, which is the right of every human being. All of this was after I was abducted off the street around 1:30pm on Saturday while on my way to the Palestine teach-in by undercover agents, handcuffed, forced into an unmarked car and sped straight to the prison. My “crime”? Being a journalist who speaks up for Palestine and against Israel’s genocide and settler-colonial savagery and those who aid and abet it. I came to Switzerland at the invitation of Swiss citizens to talk about justice for Palestine, to talk about accountability for a genocide in which Switzerland too is complicit. But while I was hauled off to prison like a dangerous criminal before I even had a chance to say a word, the Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who declared at the start of the genocide that there are no civilians in Gaza, no innocents, received a red carpet welcome in Davos, a carpet soaked in the blood of the more than 47,000 known victims of the genocide and the thousands more still under the rubble, or who died of deliberately inflicted starvation and denial of medical care. And on this very day Netanyahu freely travels to Poland to make a mockery of the Auschwitz commemoration despite an outstanding ICC arrest warrant. That is the perverse, unjust world we live in. This ordeal lasted three days but that taste of prison was more than enough to leave me in even greater awe of the Palestinian heroes who endure months and years in the prisons of the genocidal oppressor. More than ever I know that the debt we owe them is one we can never repay and all of them must be free and they must remain our focus. The police gave me my phone back only at the gate of the plane so I’m only seeing now the extent of the overwhelming support and solidarity from all over the world. I’m deeply grateful to each and every person who stood up for me. I’m especially grateful to my lawyer Dina Raewel and her team, to our friends in Zurich who I learned afterwards demonstrated outside the prison, to my family and my colleagues at EI and so many others. I honestly had no idea what was happening outside that concrete room! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I want to tell the whole story of what happened, perhaps in an
@intifada
livestream in the next day or two, because I think it’s important for people to know the depths to which their Western so-called “democracies” have sunk in the abject service of genocidal Zionism. Right now I’m glad to be on my way home. I’m looking forward to hugging my mom and dad, taking a shower and sleeping in my own bed. Journalism is not a crime! Speaking out for Palestine is not a crime! Standing against racist genocidal Zionism is not a crime! Say it with me:
From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free! ❤️🇵🇸✌️

For the first time, a Qassam fighter who survived the Hannibal Directive attack on Kibbutz Be'eri on Oct 7 details Israel's mass killing of its own citizens:
"A group of mujaheddin came into possession of a large number of prisoners. They could not send them to Gaza. [Israeli] enemy reinforcements began to arrive to Be'eri. The enemy increased its bombardment of Be'eri, using aircraft and tanks, and turned the kibbutz into a mass of flame. The rest of the mujaheddin were holed up with the prisoners inside the buildings. They were martyred and the prisoners in their possession were killed."

Two videos from Glenn Greenwald about how the draconian way in which the Zionist agenda is causing universities to end fair and free speech .
1) Harvard's settled two "Antisemitism" lawsuits (for an undisclosed amount) and has adopted some new "speech policies" which will probably create many more lawsuit problems than they solve.
2) Columbia's effort to oust Prof. Katherine Franke from their campus. While universities claim their crackdown's on speech are to protect students and faculty (at least the Zionist ones), Prof. Franke received unrelented harassment on campus after she discussed how a few students who had just come one of the IDF had bullied Palestinian students. She complained to the university which did nothing to protect here and would only offer her early retirement, without the benefits of retirement.
As the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas approaches its tenth day, 300,000 Palestinians made the journey home in incredible scenes.
Incredible Moment Thousands Return To Gaza On Foot

Just another reminder that clodhopper's disturbed visions are not in touch with reality:
Quote:
Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has said the Arab body will not engage in any negotiations regarding the displacement of the Palestinian people from their homes in Gaza or the West Bank.
His comments follow a displacement plan for Palestinians floated by US President Donald Trump. “I’d like Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump said on Sunday, prompting immediate reactions from both Amman and Cairo.
Aboul Gheit emphasized the Arab world’s full support for Egypt and Jordan, which have both rejected any displacement of Palestinians from their homeland.
On Monday, the Jordanian Parliament and Foreign Minister responded to Trump’s proposal, saying that Jordan will not serve as an alternative homeland for Palestinians. They stressed that efforts to displace Palestinians will not help security in the region.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry also issued a statement condemning any breach of Palestinian rights, whether through the construction of settlements, annexation of occupied territories, or forced displacement from their homes.
Way to elect a child. It's a tremendously embarrassing gaffe. All we will get is a shift of hot conflict to West Bank. His dope only lasts a few years; this never ends. Gulf of America? Ew. Ick.
Besides, they still launch an air raid on Nabatieh in Lebanon.
Turning again to the regional architect:
Quote:
Iran’s ambassador to the UN says Israel is the main threat to international peace and security, stressing that Tel Aviv makes baseless allegations against Iran to conceal the regime’s “destructive activities”.
In a letter to the UN Security Council president, Amir Saeid Iravani reacted to comments by Israeli president Isaac Herzog who accused Iran of being a “threat” to the world, particularly the United States and Israel.
Iravani condemned the “unfounded and provocative accusations” by the Israeli president against Iran during the United Nations General Assembly’s special session on Monday, PressTV reported.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran explicitly and firmly rejects such baseless claims, which serve no purpose other than to divert the international community's attention from the horrific crimes committed by this apartheid regime against the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip."
"These groundless accusations are part of a deliberate and ongoing effort to conceal the blatant violations of international law and the destructive activities of the Israeli regime against regional countries,” read the letter, which was also addressed to the UN secretary general and the president of the General Assembly.
Iravani also stressed that the Israeli regime “is not only a threat to Iran but also the primary and constant threat to peace and security” both in the region and the world.
“Beyond the genocide and crimes against humanity committed by this rogue regime against the Palestinian people, Zionism continues its relentless aggression against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon and Syria."
"These actions constitute clear violations of the UN Charter and relevant Security Council resolutions. Such unlawful acts are flagrant breaches of international law and further endanger the already fragile stability of the region,” Iran’s UN ambassador further said.
Iravani called on the international community not to allow such deliberate efforts of the occupying entity to divert attention from its crimes and destructive activities aimed at undermining peace and stability in the region and global efforts for the promotion of justice and accountability.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to hold this apartheid regime accountable for its crimes and take decisive measures to ensure its compliance with international law,” he emphasized.

Indeed, incredible moments captured in this film and else where today of families reunited. Inspite of the fact that they are returning to rubble, people are painting the walls of the ruined buildings to make the place look festive for the others who have not yet returned. Truly an amazing moment in history. :heart2:
