Pepe Escobar :Iran Rejects Trump’s Offer and Changes Price of Hormuz,Iran’s new toll rule RIALS ONLY

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=O8j7EjkMlsY

Iran has refused Trump’s last counteroffer in full and decided that ships crossing Hormuz will pay in rials only, Transition Protocol’s sources say — decisions taken hours before this recording and not yet announced.

Host Zulfiqar Ali and Pepe Escobar, speaking from Bangkok after midnight, on what Tehran just decided, why the last diplomatic channel may be dead four weeks before the US midterms, and why Pakistan’s diplomats see the Yemen war as the biggest threat yet to the House of Saud.

— 03:13 The rial rule: “nothing other than Iranian currency”, cleared through China’s CIPS rather than the Western system. Iranian officials have floated rial-denominated tolls since April; the host reports a decision.

— 04:34 The refusal: the counteroffer carried by Qatari mediators “was rejected… categorically”, per the host’s sources; Iran says it will abide only by the MOU.

— 06:34 The clock: Escobar says the channel is dead; the host says Pakistan is still talking to Witkoff. Four weeks to 3 November.

— 12:15 The Mecca question: an alliance to defend Saudi Arabia, but none for Gaza?

— 19:21 Pakistan’s troops near Yemen: defence only, the host’s sources say. Pakistan’s Defence Minister said on 1 October that “whatever means are available” would be at Saudi Arabia’s disposal.

— 30:01 Brazil’s 25 October runoff, after Flávio Bolsonaro’s first-round lead.

What you’ll learn: what Iran’s Supreme National Security Council decided, and how the decision reached Washington · how a rial-only toll would work and why it matters for shipping, sanctions and the dollar · Iran’s stated terms for reopening Hormuz · where Pakistan stands between Tehran, Riyadh and Washington · why the Saudi–Yemen front may move north.

Sourcing note: the Security Council decisions and the Pakistani positions are the host’s own reporting. The claim of a rift between Prince Khalid bin Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is the host’s and has not been publicly confirmed

Adding also today's talk by Larry J on TP.. interesting talk about SA....


Larry Johnson: Saudi Arabia Just Asked Pakistan to Retake Bab el-Mandeb Is Saudi Arabia Collapsing?

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

A senior Pakistani officer says Saudi Arabia has formally asked Pakistan for naval commandos to retake Bab el-Mandeb. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson calls it “a suicide mission.” Islamabad has not decided — and Iran is letting the war run.
In this briefing, host Zulfiqar Ali brings what he was told overnight by a senior serving officer in Pakistan’s military establishment, and Larry Johnson tests it live.

— 18:03 The request: Pakistani naval commandos to help get Bab el-Mandeb “back into Saudi control”. Received Wednesday 7 October; under consideration, not accepted, not rejected.
— 19:55 The verdict: why special forces cannot hold Perim Island or Dhubab — and why, in Larry Johnson’s assessment, Saudi Arabia is “a lost cause”.
— 16:58 Iran’s position, as relayed to Pakistan: no move to rein in Ansar Allah until it is on top.

What you’ll learn: why the Saudi-backed counteroffensive failed despite more than 100 airstrikes · why Pakistan agreed to guard Mecca and Medina but not the front · who is really guiding Saudi aircraft · why Iran rejected Washington’s counteroffer · why the shortages of LNG, sulfur, urea and helium hit Pakistan and India first.

Sourcing note: Pakistani and Iranian sourcing is the host’s own reporting and is single-source. The host clarified on air that 40,000 Pakistani troops were requested and agreed, not confirmed as deployed. The leaked CIA analysis on Israel and the Mach 10 missile claim have not been independently confirmed. The Saudi–Yemen border was set by the 1934 Treaty of Taif.

Good one!

Who controls the news? Why do so many outlets tell the same story? Gerald Celente and Judge Andrew Napolitano take a hard look at media concentration and its impact on freedom, truth, and public discourse. With just a handful of corporations controlling the overwhelming majority of news and entertainment, is the mainstream media serving the public or protecting powerful interests?

They also weigh in on the growing role of politicians in legal and cultural controversies, including high-profile reactions to the Cornell University criminal case, and discuss the broader question of political influence on justice, free speech, and academic institutions.

From media manipulation and government power to war, freedom, and the future of America, Celente & The Judge deliver the sharp analysis and fearless commentary you won't hear from the mainstream media.

Ana Kasparian discusses how zionists are trying hard to silence critics as Israel's genocide in the Middle East rages on.... good one below!

"US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday that Zionism must be understood through Jewish history rather than equated with racism.

In a wide-ranging State Department briefing, he said more than 250,000 visas had been revoked under the administration, described US efforts to change antisemitic educational material abroad, criticized the use of the term “genocide” against Israel, and said a two-state solution could not advance while one side called for the eradication of the other."

Meaning often matters more than comfort. People can endure extraordinary stress when they believe their struggles serve something larger than themselves.

Perhaps Israel, China, the United States and various other nations have a shared difficulty - that parts of their government are aligned more with globalist oppressors than with many of their people and communities.

What part of Israel's government exactly is aligned with 'globalist oppressors'?

To my knowledge, Israel's governing agents have presented a united front in committing continuous violations of international law and atrocities against Palestinians, and by completely ignoring the objections of the international community, and ignored UN resolutions, the ICC and ICJ courts, and even its own human rights watchdog B'Tselem (a non-governmental body) which is naming as "genocide" Israel's attacks against Palestinians.

There is a curious contradiction being made on certain threads of this forum, which is that Trump-Netanyahu are fighting the globalists. But meanwhile Trump & Netanuahu are very busy installing totalitarian systems (in the USA at any rate) with complete AI surveillance and suppression of free speech. However these same totalitarian goals are certainly on the agenda of said 'globalists'. You can't pretend to be fighting 'globalist oppressors', when you behave like one.

In fact, for many people around the world, Israel has become the globalist oppressor. That's the consequence of all those false flags, assassinations and terrorist attacks Israel has inflicted on many parts of the world, in addition to infiltrating governments and controlling other countries' media.

This gaslighting is described very well by D. Alec Zeck in this post:
https://x.com/Alec_Zeck/status/1933737488985600078

"From the beginning, Trump was positioned as the anti-establishment savior. It’s now becoming clearer than ever “why”:

They knew the people waking up to the system—those who value freedom, question government, value bodily autonomy, etc.—were never going to accept biometric surveillance, expanded wars, digital IDs, Palantir’s domestic surveillance, or digital currency slavery if it came from the left.

But if you wrap it in anti-globalist language, attach it to a “freedom fighter” persona, and present him as the one taking down the deep state, millions would not only accept these things—they’d defend them. That’s how you hijack a freedom movement without ever needing to crush it directly. It’s a perfect example of controlling the opposition.

Now here we are. The stage is fully set: Iran (and anyone nation supporting Iran) is the enemy. Pro-Palestinian voices (or anyone opposing genocide) are being framed as violent extremists. Anyone criticizing the Israeli government gets smeared as antisemitic or a national security threat. Trump is positioned as the one you can trust—the “anti-establishment” hero fighting the globalists while quietly pushing the very same systems his base thinks he’s dismantling. The freedom movement has been psychologically captured and it’s so freaking obvious.

All that’s left now is a trigger.

That trigger likely comes in the form of some type of event—a planned attack on US soil, framed as Iranian-backed Islamic terrorism, but orchestrated behind the scenes by the CIA and Mossad. And if it happens, public sentiment flips overnight. People get emotionally hijacked and start demanding action.

And that’s when the next phase rolls out. Full support for US military involvement in the Middle East. Surveillance expansion justified under “wartime necessity.” Biometric tracking, facial recognition, and digital IDs rolled out as “security measures.” Censorship of dissent framed as “national unity.” Palantir’s full surveillance grid activated to monitor Americans under the banner of “preventing domestic terrorism.” And as the economy destabilized under the weight of war, digital currencies introduced as the “safe, stable solution” to secure the financial system and protect against “cyber threats.”

Every piece of this is already built. They just need the emotional consent.

And the false flag—if it happens—isn’t just about launching another war. That’s the front-facing narrative. The real objective is to activate the full centralized, technocratic, biometric, financial control grid—with full public buy-in.

Same play every time:
fear -> crisis -> consent -> control.

More people are seeing it now.
So what do we actually do?

We withdraw consent. Physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We stop feeding the fear, stop reacting emotionally to their narratives, stop engaging in the left vs right dialectic. We fully unplug from the psychological game.

We get local. Build real relationships, real community, real resilience outside of their systems. Start trading, growing, bartering, preparing. Parallel systems are the antidote to the control systems.

We fortify spiritually. Nervous system sovereignty. Prayer. Stillness. Discernment. If we’re reactive, we’re easy to control. If we’re grounded—remembering who we are—we’re useless to their game.

We get as independent as possible—financially, physically, mentally, emotionally. The less dependent we are, the less leverage they have.

And we focus our energy on speaking what is true, which naturally wakes up the right people. Not everyone. Just the remnant who already feel it but haven’t fully unplugged.

Stay grounded. Stay present.
Remember who you are."

Thank you so much for this post. I check on especially posts from Gaza on Substack every day, and there is sorrow but there is also a celebration of life.

I don't know where the colouring books come from for the little kids at school, but the girl in the story wears a hijab, which girls in Gaza do not, so I am guessing Iran? Anyway, the five frames tell a simple story ... children playing in a park find unexploded bombs (two kinds) and call an adult. (Teaching children safety.) Noura coaches her children before sending them off to school on how to find safety if they hear the Israeli killers above them. A man shares photos of how he has turned their tented enclosure called home into a place of beauty with plants and whatever they rescued from the rubble. Tents are being fortified in innovative ways to protect them from gunfire as they sleep. Treats are prepared for children who are gathered together to play games on the beach. A group of young women prepare a picnic of treats, carefully arranged on a table, and sit on a remaining balcony by the beach to celebrate a friend who is getting married.

The people of Gaza are embracing life and taking care of the children. Laughter and love have not died in Gaza, but they have among the monsters committing the genocide and those who support them, directly and indirectly.

Even before the genocide began, Israelis were a depraved bunch. Two CIA officers get posted to Israel for a couple of years. They return home after attending a welcome cocktail party and find all the furniture has been re-arranged in their house, and someone has left an unflushed dump in every toilet. Before they leave Israel, they attend another cocktail party and find the each toilet filled with you know what, but also their dog whimpering under the table ... its tail had been cut off.

But Islam is the problem? Or Russia? Or China?

No population is immune from descending into barbaric savagery, but the West has sold the world a lie for decades.

There is one sect of the Hasidic community in Israel that has supported and worked with the Israeli government. Their rabbi has now said publically that Jews would be better off living under Arab control, and then he says that after what Israel has done, the Arabs probably hate Jews.

The unravelling is ugly. How much more of the depravity will be exposed?

Be like the people of Gaza and hold onto love and laughter ... and take care of the children.

And Trump is not the answer! He is a dangerous caricature of the problem.

Summery and personal comment:

Brief summary of the video's main argument

The speaker (Dr. Phil) argues that Israel's high ranking in the World Happiness Report despite war, terrorism, reserve mobilization, missile attacks, and rising antisemitism reveals an important lesson about the sources of happiness.

His central thesis is:

Happiness is not primarily the result of comfort, safety, or an easy life. It comes from meaning, belonging, and purpose.

According to the video, four factors explain Israel's resilience and relative happiness:

• Faith

Not necessarily strict religious observance.
A connection to something larger than oneself.
Shared traditions, history, and identity create belonging.

• Family

Strong family structures and relatively high birth rates.
Confidence in the future despite hardship.
Family provides emotional support and meaning.

• Purpose

A strong sense of collective responsibility and national mission.
Examples given include Israelis returning from abroad to serve after October 7.
The speaker cites Viktor Frankl's idea that people who have a "why" can endure almost any "how."

• Education

High societal value placed on education.
Knowledge, achievement, and investment in future generations contribute to resilience.

The video concludes that these four elements:

Faith + Family + Purpose + Education

form a blueprint for psychological resilience and happiness, both for Israel and for individuals generally.

Underlying message

The video is less about geopolitics and more about psychology.

The speaker's deeper claim is that:

People can tolerate hardship if they feel connected to a meaningful story.
Social belonging is more important for well-being than material comfort alone.
Nations and communities with strong identity and purpose may remain psychologically resilient even during crises.


Critical analysis

The strongest part of the argument is supported by mainstream happiness research:

Strong social ties are consistently among the best predictors of life satisfaction.
Purpose and meaning correlate strongly with psychological resilience.
Family and community support help people cope with trauma.

However, the video largely presents one side of the picture:

It emphasizes national cohesion but spends little time discussing internal Israeli divisions.
It treats happiness rankings as evidence of societal success, while happiness surveys measure self-reported life satisfaction, not absence of stress, trauma, inequality, or political conflict.
Some statistics mentioned (media bias, UN resolutions, article analyses) are presented without examining alternative interpretations.

Pathwalker assessment

I lived 6 wars since I was born: 1967,1973,1982,1991,2006,2023.
I agree wars shape my personal identity and psychology.
Israeli people are authority challengers, low trust in institutions, high trust in fellowship and community.

The most valuable insight is probably not that Israelis are "happy despite war."

Rather:

Many Israelis appear to maintain life purpose+meaning because they possess unusually strong social networks, family structures, community participation, and a sense of collective purpose.

That interpretation aligns both with the video's argument and with broader happiness research.

The lesson is less "Israel is happy" and more:

Meaning often matters more than comfort. People can endure extraordinary stress when they believe their struggles serve something larger than themselves.

Anyone who takes the time to read Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning will gain a deeper understanding of resilience, not only among Israelis, but among all people facing hardship everywhere in the world. Through his experiences in Nazi concentration camps, Frankl explores how people can find purpose even in the midst of profound and unrelenting suffering. He argues that meaning can come through love, meaningful work, or the way we face hardship. In other words, it's much about attitude, perspective, inner strength and your long-term outlook on life.

I think many people find it incredible that Israel ranks 8th in the world in happiness. This is especially true since Iran, their proxies and various other malcontent actors have been attempting to ethnically cleanse Israel for decades instead of searching for peace. Israeli's rightly see these threats as a danger to their existence. Living in this heightened state of awareness provides people with a great deal of mental clarity, strong focus, and the ability to behave deliberately rather than impulsively.

Peace is a basic physiological need for survival, no less than food, air, water, shelter, and sleep. Man must learn to resolve disagreements without fear or violence. It doesn’t guarantee happiness, but it creates conditions where happiness can flourish for all people.

It can be a little hard to read small circles about the same thing, but, this is confirmation of the previous:

Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority confirmed Ansarullah attacks on Abha and King Khalid airports, claiming one person was killed and eight wounded at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority on Wednesday confirmed Ansarullah's attacks on two of the country's airports, claiming that one person was killed and eight others wounded in the attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital.

The authority also claimed that in another attack targeting facilities at Abha airport, two people were killed and 28 others were wounded.

Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority announced that one of the two attacks occurred on Wednesday and the other the previous day, but provided no further details about the attacks.

This is today:

Yemen's armed forces announced a ballistic missile strike on Riyadh's King Khalid airport, saying it hit its target precisely and disrupted operations.

In his latest press statement, Yahya Saree, spokesman for Yemen's armed forces, said a Saudi enemy aircraft was downed with an appropriate weapon while carrying out hostile actions in the skies over Taiz province.

The statement also said that King Khalid airport in Riyadh was targeted with a ballistic missile, in continuation of the retaliatory responses of Yemen's armed forces to Saudi aggressors' attacks on Yemeni territory. The missile struck its target precisely and led to disruption of activity at the airport.

Saree said, "For the last time, we warn all international airline companies about the consequences of continuing their flights in Saudi Arabia's airspace."

Yemen's armed forces stressed that the Saudi enemy's airspace, with the exception of the skies over the holy areas of Mecca and Medina, has become a scene of military operations.

🇺🇸 US Military's "Project Meridian" is a Symptom of American Decline, Not a Solution

▪️Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth nominates 3 unqualified, demonstrated failures in the realm of geopolitics and military capabilities to guide the US into the future military superiority;

▪️If the US already was militarily superior and actually dominated in the either technology or military power such a project would not be necessary in the first place;

▪️US decline is owed to 2 systemic problems "Project Meridian" neither acknowledges nor poses a solution to: the unsustainable and unnecessary nature of pursuing primacy in the first place, and the equally unsustainable nature of for-profit systems competing with purpose-driven peers like Russia alone, let alone China;

Appointed to Project Meridian...

Elon Musk, the only technical-minded of the 3 appointees, excels in a very narrow field of expertise and has demonstrated an inability to grasp the multidomain nature of modern and future geopolitics/warfare.

Just think about the vast chasm between what he said was going to happen back during the 2024 elections and what has happened in reality...

The fact he accepted this position speaks volumes of his ignorance - accepting a task that is literally impossible to perform (like DOGE) - unless he accepted it simply to get his nose in the trough of public funds this all leads to.

As for Palmer Luckey of arms startup Anduril - his drones and other systems have been proven failures both in Ukraine and Iran.

Is he included as an example of how not to fix the problem?

Newt Gingrich is an aging politician with zero background in military, technology, or innovation except for being part of the very system leading to America's terminal decline for decades in the first place.

I will do a deep dive on this in the coming week.

🇺🇸NEW VIDEO: US Reorganizes Forces and Proxies in West Asia + What is "Project Meridian?"

On YouTube: https://youtu.be/c1dfcMJGKFk?si=2Qp7Ti8cmS1vWdkw

▪️the US has only redeployed troops from Iraq to elsewhere in West Asia as part of its ongoing war on Iran;

▪️the US maintains immense administrative, economic, and covert/proxy military power over Iraq and until that changes, Iraq remains subordinated to/occupied by the US;

▪️The so-called "Mecca Alliance" is little more than US burden sharing extended over Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan;

▪️It remains to be seen how extensive the "Mecca Alliance" will be mobilized as part of the wider US war on Iran and its network alliance which includes Ansarallah in Yemen;

▪️US "Project Meridian" is a desperate attempt to leverage technology to reassert US military dominance over the world, but fails to recognize, let alone address the actual systemic problems causing a US decline in the first place;

False flag ops. not to save US, Israeli regime: Iran FM spox

TEHRAN, Oct. 07 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has highlighted US and Israeli regime's long record of false-flag operations, warning that such operations will not save the aggressors.

In a Wednesday post on his X account, the Iranian official said such scenarios would not save them from the quagmire of the aggression against Iran.

Baghaei said telling lies about Iran and accusing it of having a role in security incidents would fail to justify the US-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic.

“In a world where the American and international public is weary of an unlawful war of aggression against Iran, and where the aggressors have no honest way to justify a war of choice, even a raft made of lies can look like salvation to those who are drowning,” he said in the post.

The post also included a video elucidating previous US and Israeli false-flag operations, including massive US media campaigns denoting the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which led to the invasion of the country in 2003, and Israel’s involvement in a case in Egypt in 1954, known as the Lavon Affair.

“False flags are an old craft: manufacture the incident, assign the blame, and harvest the consequences,” said Baghaei.

According to Press TV, the post came after officials in the US and allied countries suggested that Iran may have had a role in recent security incidents, including on a Flydubai flight from the United Arab Emirates to the Israeli-occupied territories and in a suspected plot against an American base in Britain.

Iran has roundly rejected the accusations, calling them a pretext for launching renewed aggression against the country, months after the US and the Israeli regime were forced to end a previous offensive under a ceasefire reached in mid-April.

Three years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza: In numbers

Three years of attacks has devastated Gaza, killing tens of thousands, destroying homes, and collapsing essential services.

Israel’s assault began on October 7, 2023, after Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, and other Palestinian groups attacked southern Israel, killing 1,139 people and taking about 240 captive.

Israel responded with relentless bombardment and turned its 16-year blockade into a total stranglehold.

A “ceasefire” took effect on October 10, 2025, but attacks and killings have continued.

Here is where things stand, in numbers:

1 out of 30 people in Gaza killed

Three years of Israeli attacks have killed at least 74,000 Palestinians, including at least 21,000 children. That is about one in every 30 people, or 3 percent of the pre-war population.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health counts only deaths recorded at hospitals or officially registered. The true toll is likely much higher, as it excludes the thousands still buried under rubble or missing.



1 out of 13 people in Gaza wounded

The human toll extends beyond the killed.

More than 175,000 people have been wounded, about one in every 13 people in Gaza.

A conservative WHO estimate suggests roughly 24 percent of the wounded have life-changing injuries requiring long-term rehabilitation, a quarter of them children.

Gaza’s few remaining health facilities are overwhelmed and running on dwindling supplies.



A ‘ceasefire’ in name only

Since the “ceasefire” took effect on October 10, 2025, Israel has violated it with near-daily attacks, killing more than 1,000 people.



Israel still killing Palestinians

Since the “ceasefire” took effect at noon on October 10, Israel has killed at least 1,460 Palestinians and injured 5,116, according to the latest figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

COMBATE |🇵🇷

Oct 7
Yemen's Abdulmalik Al-Houthi:

Saudi Arabia, a "kingdom of the horn of Satan," ran "organized work to deliver Israeli goods" -- "in some weeks eight ships on average," loaded for the Zionist enemy

"Saudi Arabia was conspiring against Hezbollah in Lebanon from early on," with "indications and proofs" it "contributed to the assassination" of Imad Mughniyeh, and multiple attempts against Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

Saudi scholars handed the Americans "coordinates for mosques in Sanaa" -- and "demanded the US bomb them to kill the worshippers"

"The Saudi regime had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein" -- the photos show "even bin Salman and Jeffrey Epstein, each of them placing his hand on the other"

Zionist officers flown "from Cyprus to Saudi bases and camps near the Yemeni border." "These are facts we have proof of"

The Saudis kept the airspace over the Two Holy Mosques open to the Zionist enemy. Oman closed theirs

Twelve years of Saudi siege: seven million stripped of their salaries, "over one million four hundred thousand deaths"

"American officials speak of a secret strategic Saudi-Zionist alliance"

The same Saudi enemy that cut Jamal Khashoggi "into small pieces with his saw" is "killing Yemen's children and women"

The answer, after the whole Saudi file: "We are firm in our stance supporting the Palestinian people in any new round of escalation"

A Revelation of Evil - Israel's Gaza Genocide has exposed our world's depravity

On 7 October 2023, Hamas and other Palestinian resistance organizations launched an attack out of the Gaza Strip and into Israel under the code name "Al-Aqsa Flood." Israeli and Western mainstream media and politicians rapidly labelled this a massive act of terrorism and flooded the world with tales of horrific atrocities allegedly perpetrated by the Palestinians, such as sadistically murdering children and women and committing mass rape.

We now know that these atrocity tales were lies calculated to generate domestic and international outrage against the Palestinian resistance and Palestinians in general. They were part of the same poisonous Israeli narrative that labeled them "Amalek" - in a reference to a perversely "exemplary" genocide in the Old Testament - and denied that they were human beings. They were part, in other words, of starting a genocide.



These atrocity propaganda lies were made up and spread by, for instance, Israel's Zaka activists and Western mainstream journalists, such as at the New York Times, high public officials such as the UN's Pramila Patten, and activists, for instance former Meta cadre Sheryl Sandberg acting as a Zionist propagandist, who chose to rely on Israeli disinformation.

In reality, there were no mass rapes; there were no sadistic baby murders by beheadings or in microwave ovens; no pregnant woman was found killed by a headshot, with her baby stabbed and still attached to the umbilical cord. It "simply didn't happen," as a detailed investigation by Israeli newspaper Haaretz found.

What did happen on 7 October 2026 was not a savage, sadistic rampage but a daring military resistance operation. It was also a mass break-out from a Gaza Strip under a long Israeli siege so brutal that Israeli sociologist Baruch Kimmerling called the Strip the "world's largest concentration camp ever" already almost a quarter-century ago.

The core of this offensive targeted Israel's Gaza Division, which, according to high-ranking Israeli officers was "overpowered." In the process, Palestinian resistance fighters killed and captured Israeli military personnel. While Israel's propaganda has done its best to obfuscate this fact, these actions were neither "terrorism" nor hostage-taking but legitimate acts of armed resistance under international law.
