    As well as Egypt, FM Araghchi visited the King of Jordan where he stressed that collective action is required to stop the crimes committed by the Zionist regime.


    This is President Pezeshkian to the Sultan of Oman:


    Quote Pezeshkian recalled that the holy Prophet of Islam advised Muslims to keep unity and strengthen brotherhood, saying that, "if we as the Islamic countries are united, the Zionist regime will not dare to commit crimes which comes with the support of America and Western countries."

    The Sultan of Oman, for his part, expressed his appreciation and support for the principled stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding regional issues, including Gaza and Lebanon, and stressed the need to avoid employing double standards in dealing with the issue in Western countries.

    The Sultan of Oman also described defending the rights of the oppressed people of Gaza and Lebanon among the priorities and serious concerns of his country, explaining that, "Oman has always emphasized that the continuation of Western countries' support for Israel's crimes is by no means acceptable or justifiable."

    So, if I am getting this rightly, Israel's primary hatred is Arabs. At first their country was assisted by non-Arabic Muslims. However the current Iranian view is to assemble a pan-Islamic front. This has probably been an underground or populist trend for quite some time, which, seems to be getting the governmental stamp of approval here. Of course, I would suggest this reaction is not limited to Muslims, although visible exceptions are very few, such as the Syrian Druze. Syria has committed the sin of being an Arab Republic. My personal response to things that are going on over there is Syrian. That is why Iran sounds new and somewhat unfamiliar to me. Their change-of-mind has been relatively recent, and, has been drowned out by a type of racist heckling and jeers aimed at them. So on Iran's behalf, I am, of course, averse to the supremacy nonsense.

    Iran and Turkey were originally gratuitous to Israel, because they are not Arabs, and now look how they feel, because they are people.

    Shaberon, I really value your input

    What do you think is the reason for this hate for Arabs?

    Land grab is one thing, but to want to exterminate a whole race does not make sense from neither Geo-political nor Geo-strategic perspective.

    I can't help but think this is the doing of hardline Talmudics. Bloodlines are really important to these people so they aim to eradicate the people of Ishmael?

    Israel Plans to Create Buffer Zone in Syria – Reports

    Since October 1, Israel has been conducting a ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon while conducting airstrikes. Despite its losses, Hezbollah has been fighting Israeli troops on the ground and launching rockets across the border.

    Israel plans to create a buffer zone in Lebanon and Syria, a Turkish newspaper Hürriyet wrote on Wednesday, citing sources.

    "Israel is doing everything to shift the fire from Lebanon to Syria. It is attacking Tartus, Hama, Homs, Aleppo, Dara and even the capital Damascus. It has moved its tanks into Syrian territory. Israel will not be satisfied with this," the newspaper said.

    Israel wants to take control of the territory up to the Litani River and create a buffer zone both in Lebanon and inside Syria, as per the outlet.

    It seems so. New from Zero Hedge:

    Israel Believes it has Killed 'October 7 Mastermind', Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar

    In a huge breaking development, Israeli officials believe that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is dead. His alleged death may have been the result of an Israeli army attack on a building in Rafah, in southern Gaza. He oversaw the terror attacks of October 7 of last year and has remained Israel's target #1.|

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) which were operating in south Gaza were not specifically seeking to target him, but a body recovered at the scene suggests he may have been killed. Israeli sources and media are saying there is a "high likelihood" Sinwar has been killed.

    Noooo more rubbish on tv, begging for aid in Gaza, when that is not possible. No more Israehell ‘defence’ whinings, the west is slathered by excuses for the zionists, and being funded by zionists. I want to know who, in the GB ‘government’ is funded by AIPAC, or other sneaky zionist bribery and corruption avenues.sick to death of lies and deception, especially our new ‘government’, a travesty of ‘democracy’.A plague on their houses of satanism, as that it what it boils down to…

    An interesting snippet at the very beginning of Alexander Mercouris' video update for today. He cites a report that an American B2 stealth bomber — this thing(!)
    .. was used in a bombing strike against Houthi targets in Yemen.

    At first sight, that seems highly unlikely (and hardly necessary for such a costly and high-tech weapon to be risked in such a mission) — but then Mercouris goes on to point out the possibility that this may have been intended as a warning to Iran that US B2 bombers can very easily be deployed in that region, striking anywhere at all probably without any warning.

    I believe it's been confirmed.

    I seen a photo of his body and if he comes back after that head wound he is absolutely the anti-christ.

    U.S. B-2 Stealth Bombers Attack Houthi Targets In Yemen (Videos)

    B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers and other assets of the United States Air Force and Navy carried out on October 17 a series of strikes against alleged weapons storage facilities in areas controlled by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen.

    “Today, U.S. military forces, including U.S. Air Force B-2 bombers, conducted precision strikes against five hardened underground weapons storage locations in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. U.S. forces targeted several of the Houthis’ underground facilities housing various weapons components of types that the Houthis have used to target civilian and military vessels throughout the region,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said in a statement released by the Pentagon.

    Iran has criticised the Zionist Antisemitic Colony ever since the Islamic Revolution, Shaberon. That is meanwhile for 45 years. That the Prophet of Islam was an Arab has never been ignored there. One should not forget that the first non-Arab convert to Islam was, according to tradition, Salmân Pârs or, in Arabic, Salmān al-Fārisi: “Solomon the Persian”. Also Arabic as a religious language has always been very well known in Iran. Quite a number of major Shia pelgrimage goals lie in Iraq, more than half of whose population is Shiite: Iranian pilgrims there are not ignorant of Arabic. Also Medieval up to modern philosophy and theology in Iran has been largely written in Arabic. The glory of Persian letters lies in its epic and lyrical poetry, both religious and secular. A seminal figure as Rumi wrote all his mystical odes in Persian and his theological treatises in Arabic.

    An interesting snippet at the very beginning of Alexander Mercouris' video update for today. He cites a report that an American B2 stealth bomber — this thing(!)
    .. was used in a bombing strike against Houthi targets in Yemen.

    At first sight, that seems highly unlikely (and hardly necessary for such a costly and high-tech weapon to be risked in such a mission) — but then Mercouris goes on to point out the possibility that this may have been intended as a warning to Iran that US B2 bombers can very easily be deployed in that region, striking anywhere at all probably without any warning.
    Well, Yugoslavia shoot dawn previous model and damage an other one with soviet era missiles...but now they got supersonic too!

    die?

    According to Israeli media, an IDF force spotted 5 Hamas fighters in Rafah while carrying out their 'duties'. Then, their tanks were ordered to open fire on these fighters.

    All the fighters died, except one, who was Yahya Sinwar. So, the IDF fired a shoulder-launched explosive missile at the building with Sinwar, which also did not kill him.

    After this, the IDF launched an FPV drone in Sinwar's direction, who stood up, gathered some stones and tried to hit the drone.

    Then, eventually, after more than 15 minutes, it was an IDF sniper that shot Yahya Sinwar in the head while he was out of cover, engaging the drone. This explains the bullet wound seen in the images.

    He fought until the very end.

    As well as Egypt, FM Araghchi visited the King of Jordan where he stressed that collective action is required to stop the crimes committed by the Zionist regime.


    This is President Pezeshkian to the Sultan of Oman:


    Quote Pezeshkian recalled that the holy Prophet of Islam advised Muslims to keep unity and strengthen brotherhood, saying that, "if we as the Islamic countries are united, the Zionist regime will not dare to commit crimes which comes with the support of America and Western countries."

    The Sultan of Oman, for his part, expressed his appreciation and support for the principled stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding regional issues, including Gaza and Lebanon, and stressed the need to avoid employing double standards in dealing with the issue in Western countries.

    The Sultan of Oman also described defending the rights of the oppressed people of Gaza and Lebanon among the priorities and serious concerns of his country, explaining that, "Oman has always emphasized that the continuation of Western countries' support for Israel's crimes is by no means acceptable or justifiable."

    So, if I am getting this rightly, Israel's primary hatred is Arabs. At first their country was assisted by non-Arabic Muslims. However the current Iranian view is to assemble a pan-Islamic front. This has probably been an underground or populist trend for quite some time, which, seems to be getting the governmental stamp of approval here. Of course, I would suggest this reaction is not limited to Muslims, although visible exceptions are very few, such as the Syrian Druze. Syria has committed the sin of being an Arab Republic. My personal response to things that are going on over there is Syrian. That is why Iran sounds new and somewhat unfamiliar to me. Their change-of-mind has been relatively recent, and, has been drowned out by a type of racist heckling and jeers aimed at them. So on Iran's behalf, I am, of course, averse to the supremacy nonsense.

    Iran and Turkey were originally gratuitous to Israel, because they are not Arabs, and now look how they feel, because they are people.
    Iran has criticised the Zionist Antisemitic Colony ever since the Islamic Revolution, Shaberon. That is meanwhile for 45 years. That the Prophet of Islam was an Arab has never been ignored there. One should not forget that the first non-Arab convert to Islam was, according to tradition, Salmân Pârs or, in Arabic, Salmān al-Fārisi: “Solomon the Persian”. Also Arabic as a religious language has always been very well known in Iran. Quite a number of major Shia pelgrimage goals lie in Iraq, more than half of whose population is Shiite: Iranian pilgrims there are not ignorant of Arabic. Also Medieval up to modern philosophy and theology in Iran has been largely written in Arabic. The glory of Persian letters lies in its epic and lyrical poetry, both religious and secular. A seminal figure as Rumi wrote all his mystical odes in Persian and his theological treatises in Arabic.

    Western "divide and rule" philosophy has done a lot to try and keep the Islamic Umma split.
    Michel thank you so much for this, I wanted to ask why Iran being Persian could be separated from Arabic as I have never considered them separate, maybe language wise they differ but as people I don’t think of them like that, it’s what came to my mind last night after reading Shaberon’s post.

    We will all walk the path of resistance and the path of Sinwar. If they kill Sinwar today, a hundred Sinwars will emerge to take his place.

    If Israel thinks that by killing Yahya Sinwar it will stop the Palestinians from defending their land, it is mistaken. Israel has killed hundreds of leaders, including Yasser Arafat (Abu Ammar), Ahmed Yassin, Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, Abu Ali Mustafa, Ismail Haniyeh, and many other leaders.

    But the result has always been the opposite: the resistance grows fiercer, stronger, and more determined.

    No one can deny the truth: Palestine belongs to the Palestinians. No matter how much time passes or how great the tyranny becomes, the day will come when this despicable Zionism will come to an end—this virus that is sweeping the world with its rotten ideas.

    What do you think is the reason for this hate for Arabs?

    Land grab is one thing, but to want to exterminate a whole race does not make sense from neither Geo-political nor Geo-strategic perspective.

    I can't help but think this is the doing of hardline Talmudics. Bloodlines are really important to these people so they aim to eradicate the people of Ishmael?


    Let's work on this.

    It's outside of my realm of focus--which ironically is the intent to *not* be like them. As a follower of Buddha, I would tend to be alarmed about the fact of the Mughals essentially committing "genocide" against Buddhists in the homeland, India. In this case, to be fair, I think it is exactly like what Caesar did to the Druids. In both cases, these groups were wiped out, not for who they are, or what they believed, but solely for the military reasons that it looked like they could promote uprisings, or, in India, it looked like the universities could be fortified. So, from my point of view, I have established that Muslims do not have a doctrinaire tenet against Indians or Buddhists, which seems to be true--it's different if you talk about Indian Muslims and Hindus--because then you are in the strictly regional conflict similar to Israel vs. Arab.

    Has Zion spoken of taking over the Arabian peninsula?

    If not, then all the jingoism sounds like cheers to encourage the very local conflict, only. That this is among their top priorities is as said by that grateful recipient of the B-2,
    Yemen:


    Quote In a televised speech, Sayyed Houthi indicated that Muslims, in particular, and humanity in general, need to reach a high level of awareness about the reality of what is happening and what the enemies are aiming for.

    “Arabs, as the primary targets, must be especially aware of the enemies’ intentions.”

    “It has become clear to all that neither the United Nations nor the Security Council nor international organizations or courts can counter the threat of the enemy except through the awakening of the nation itself.”

    According to the Yemeni leader, the Israeli enemy resorts to mass killings and assassinations when it fails in the battlefield.


    That they typically fail, and, resort to cheerleading sessions about particular leaders and specific atrocities:


    Hezbollah MP Fadlallah: So far, the Israeli enemy hasn’t been able to control any border village and it’s adopting a policy of “film and run”


    and he says further:


    Quote Speaking of Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s foolish idea of the so-called “new Middle East,” Hezbollah MP said that “the image that Netanyahu painted for his project is changing; what he thought would be a swift victory to eliminate Hezbollah and restructure Lebanon and the region has turned out to be the rashness of an arrogant leader.”

    “Netanyahu believed that by assassinating our leader and his fellow martyrs and committing horrific massacres against our people, he could fully achieve his objectives. However, the brave resistance fighters along the border reversed the narrative and entered a new phase dedicated to confronting the aggression against Lebanon and defending the nation,” Fadlallah added.

    Hezbollah’s Fadlallah stated that “the Israeli occupation has adopted a scorched-earth policy, systematically destroying villages and towns, particularly in the south along the border, to implement its long-standing project of establishing what it calls a ‘buffer zone’.

    “This plan began in 1978 and culminated in the 2006 war, aiming to make the area south of the Litani River part of its entity, as openly stated by some of its officials. However, the strength of the resistance fighters and the resilience of our people will undoubtedly thwart it,” Fadlallah affirmed.

    Yedioth Ahronoth: Elite Golani soldiers entered a building yesterday that was labeled as safe with aerial support. Once inside, several Hezbollah fighters opened fire at them from a very close distance




    Now what the Muslims are saying is that today is the resurgence of the Battle of Khaybar in 628, which is something like the birth of Islam by defeating the Jews.

    That can't answer for any previous Jewish -- Arab conflict.


    Who were they?

    Here's the thing. As a Buddhist, that makes me an "outsider", I have a highly agnostic--in fact suspicious--view of "scriptures" and "traditions". I believe these condition what people think and how they behave, but, this does not mean that any of them are actually true.

    So for example, was Prophet Muhammad PBUH related to Ishmael, the answer is most likely no.


    And so if we want to answer this question, I am afraid we would have to dismantle Genesis:


    The sons of Ishmael in Genesis 25:13-15 correspond to the Shumu’il coalition of Arabian tribes that existed during the period of Assyrian hegemony from the late 8th century to the late 7th century BC. The tribes of Shumu’il mentioned in Assyrian cuneiform texts are identical with the names listed in the biblical text: Nebayot, Qedar, Massa, Teima, etc.


    In other words, what scriptures or traditions are corroborated by external evidence? Genesis is a re-shuffling of relatively recent history that was composed through the Captivity. On its own, it is historically "suggestive", not "authoritative".

    The group who finally blasted the Jews out of Judea were the Romans.

    At that point, why would we be surprised it is "occupied" by native Arabs?


    Since Arabic was not written, it is difficult to get that much more information about the immediate area between the time of the Romans and Khaybar.

    However, with the wave of a magic wand, we can see the same scriptures (Ezekiel) "translated" by the English to mean the modern countries of Germany and Russia. And suddenly the English are racists!

    Now, are there modern Israelis who are saying "this is the right thing to do, legally, as a state"? I have mainly just gotten the message "kill".

    I can make a suggestion. The archaic Canaanite spiritual practice was based in the Order of Melchizidek, which is found in the Hymns from the time of David. Hymns at the temple of Jerusalem being the central tradition. It is from Elijah going forward that you get an adverse concoction, hostile to its neighbors. And so the original Christian religion was really these same hymns at the temple of Jersualem, with a type of modification, or "conversion", based on Jesus following the Order of Melchizidek, rather than the Edomite system that had been developed. The followers were almost entirely Jews, evidently repudiating something, but we must note they were rapidly shattered in the same stroke that crushed the temple because of the Jews.

    It makes no sense, it's insane, there is every indication that Gaza is far older and ways always a crossroads where Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, Greeks, etc., had set up successful trading partnerships, and some degree of education or what you might call inter-faith dialogue.

    So it seems to me that opinions from the view of the Torah have been invented or assigned, and conveniently used as a fulminating cauldron against modern Arabs. The Islamic view from Khaybar and its repercussions may be a different story. It seems less significant to the Iranians. And so if the Israelis had said "they don't like us because of Khaybar" it might have been resolvable, but this is not the way they have chosen. There may be something more to it than "excuses to hate your neighbor", but, if so, we will have to find it.

    DEBUNKED: Who is Hani Zarab, whose passport was published by the Israeli army?

    The passport shared by the army is an expired passport that they obtained from somewhere, with the goal of linking UNRWA to Hamas and falsely claiming that Yahya Sinwar holds a fake passport as a UNRWA employee.

    Hani Zarab is currently in Egypt and holds a new passport. He left Gaza last April and has no connection to Hamas or any other organization.

    The Israeli army is attempting to tarnish UNRWA’s reputation to plant its own agents and replace UNRWA with them. Please be cautious.

    Here are the documents that prove this.
