Imagine a terrifying world where we are all ruled by monsters of every stripe. And not hot ones like werewolves, but instead decaying zombies and mummies who are both insensitive to, and actively benefit from the immense suffering they cause on a daily basis. The top echelon of society, filled with profit-seeking, bloodsucking vampires. And the worst of it is that they repeat on a daily basis that what they are doing is not only just, but there is no other possible way to do it.
Pretty spooky, right? What if I told you that this world... was our own?
Happy Halloween!

Resources For Understanding The War
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Last week's discussion post.
One of the Jewish groups at my university just sent a campus wide email about how all the Palestinian groups on campus support terrorism and are making Jewish students feel unsafe. This was directly in response to a statement a Palestinian group made that did, in fact, condemn Hammas, but then said blatantly anti-Semitic things like cutting off water to Gaza was bad, and bombing densely populated areas of Gaza is bad and should be stopped.
When my Lib/Reddit brained colleague went into FULL Russophobia last year, I thought I saw the high water mark of Lib overreaction IRL. But here we are.
Iron Dome interceptors are now under extreme rationing. Most rockets fired from Gaza are now hitting Tel Aviv.
Very likely they're now shitting themselves about Hezbollah and having wasted almost all of the Dome's stockpiles on Gaza's fertiliser rockets instead of on the real missiles they might be dealing with soon.
On the bus (and we've got 3 full busses) and the first sign I saw someone writing in the parking lot gave me hope
The sign said "Genocide Joe"
Tiananmen tank man stands in front of tank, tank drives around
"What a cruel display of authoritarianism! Literally George Foreman 1989!"Rachel Corrie stands in front of a bulldozer and gets crushed to death
"A shining beacon of democracy in the Middle East! Uncritical support to the freedom-loving Israelis!"The feeling in my stomach is very weird. I'm oddly calm considering that tomorrow may bring a level of death and destruction that is unprecedented. You news mega regulars know that Mr LargePenis here is Syrian-Lebanese with family in both Beirut and Damascus. Despite that, I'm not scared, don't really know why tbh. Feeling some sort of insane optimism that I have never felt when it comes to Palestine, Lebanon and the general state of the Middle East. My brain is telling me that this is irrational, but deep inside I feel like I fully trust Nasrallah, Iran and the Palestinian resistance. I just want tomorrow to come quick, my brain is all scrambled and I'm finding it hard to focus on anything.
The UK government and media rhetoric around anti-genocide and pro-Palestinian is getting more and more dangerous.
At first the protests were 'upsetting' and 'insensitive'. But they continued to grow.
Then they escalated to being inherently anti-semetic, with anything as mild as displaying a Palestinian flag being called anti-semitism, as well as hyperfixating on the phrase "from the river to the sea". Police have begun harassing people flying Palestinian flags in public, in their own homes, and 'detaining' people with clothing featuring it at public events.
The Home Secretary wrote to police forces saying "I would encourage police to consider whether chants such as: ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ should be understood as an expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world. Behaviours that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example the waving of a Palestinian flag, may not be legitimate such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism.”
The needle on the 76% of people who support an immediate ceasefire didn't move, so the state and media escalated again.
Then the allegations became that they were inherently pro-Hamas, with numerous journalists and political guests stating without a shred of evidence that Hamas was present in the protests and were "handing out Hamas leaflets". This tactic isn't just a smear for publicity, because Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK it's an attempt to create a framework to apply terror charges to peaceful protesters. Numerous labour politicians have openly called for all Palestinian solidarity protests to be banned outright.
Still, it hasn't swayed opinion and the protests have continued and are growing.
So now the new framing is that the protests and protesters are being controlled by Iran. Half a million people at the London protest alone, apparently being directed by Iran. This isn't just cranks on the extreme right channels like GBNews, this has been the framing from Sky News and the BBC this morning. This has been coming from people affiliated with the government, who are today holding an emergency COBRA meeting to discuss 'the rising threat of terrorism' associated with the reaction to the state's support of genocide.
The head of the Metropolitan Police, Mark Rowley went on television and said “When you’ve got state threats from Iran, you’ve got terrorism being accelerated by the events and hate crime in communities. For Jewish communities, it’s now about a 14-fold increase in antisemitism in London, and for Muslim communities it’s nearly threefold. So this is really precarious. In the middle of it, we’ve got these big protests.” Both the BBC and Sky News matched government and police accusations of Iranian control and terror concerns with images of the peaceful marches.
The police have announced that 5 people have been charged with offences during this weekend's marches. 5 out of what some are saying was 500,000 in London. And they haven't released what those offences were apart from "assaulting a police officer" which is the go to bullshit charge for anyone suffering police aggression and "carrying an illegal placard" which is worth remembering that police also arrested people for holding up blank placards to protest the King's coronation.
Obviously this is incredibly dangerous, but it's also disgustingly Islamophobic, just as it would be to state that all British Jews are secretly controlled by Israel, while completely erasing the numerous Jewish peace activists and groups at the centre of these protests. And of course, it's going completely unchallenged.
The good news is that it doesn't seem to be working. The bad news is that they're getting ever more desperate and so a much worse crackdown seems inevitable.
A Palestinian Fedayee (fighter) from Al Qassam runs up to an occupation tank and puts a grenade onto it (to blow the reactive armor) before running back into the bush to pick up his RPG and destroying the tank. He then descends into a tunnel to fight another day. One of the most incredible videos I have seen.
This is a far cry from the rocks and stones of the first and second intifadas!

Listening to the Citations Needed livestream from last night, I really like how Adam compared libs who think Biden is actually pressuring Israel and trying to do right for the Palestinians behind the scenes to QAnon people who think Trump was hanging out with Epstein et al to actually try and uncover and expose their trafficking rings. Just as deranged thinking, 100%
Me, the week after October 7th: Yes, Hamas is terrible and there is no justifying the attack, but Israel is a terrorist state and their uncritical endorsement by the West is criminal to say the least

When Russian troops crossed the Ukrainian border on the 24th of February 2022, I was pretty unsure on what position to adopt regarding that war. As the annoying politics guy in the lives of the people I love, I had to adopt an official stance. I spent the first week of the war just confused, then I leaned towards the pro-Russian side because of vibes and contrarianism, then solidified my pro-Russian stance after realising the effects of that conflict for American hegemony across the planet.
Now 600+ days later, I've never been so confident about the legitimacy of an ideological decision. The way the Ukraine-Israel-USA axis has coalesced around being the most delusional, evil and cringe axis in history has really solidified my hate for these weirdos. Hating the illegitimate zionist entity has been the only consistent position in my life, and seeing the Ukraine freaks align themselves with the entity has made my hater life easier. I remind you all of what Chinese social media people said, supporting Russia and Palestine makes you a real geopolitics understander.

Burkina Faso nationalizes sugar industry: https://nitter.cz/african_stream/status/1720111447131230350
Burkina Faso appears to be having a relatively great year! For even more good news from this Sahelian state in west Africa, President Ibrahim Traoré's administration has announced it will be nationalising the sugar sector. The SN SOSUCO sugar company, which was once state-owned, was privatised during the term of the counterrevolutionary president, Blaise Compaoré (1987-2014). Now, Burkina Faso's largest employer will be back in the hands of the people, providing even more jobs and benefiting the local economy.
sir, we strictly followed your orders for the implementation of a tactical incursion as part of the strategic plan to neutralize Gaza and the subterranean nexus within, and in the process, an incident code-named delta bravo charlie two-niner occurred in which a series of islamic-style teenagers launched some anti-tank munitions towards our position. a kinetic event then occurred in my military-grade underwear involving the tactical release of a semi-solid substance. investigations into who committed this act are ongoing with haste; initial findings indicate that the terrorist organization known as Hamas was responsible.
Israeli media: Netanyahu is studying the US request for a temporary ceasefire.
lmao how bad did the Resistance fuck up the IOF today, even the US is panicked about something
And here we go...
UK Home Secretary has said that all pro-peace/Palestine marches are "hate marches", straight up lying that they all call for "wiping Israel off the map" and is looking at changing the already insanely draconian, dubious, and misinterpretable laws to specifically go after anyone participating or criticsing Israel (and her government by extension).
Clip from SkyNews here.
I genuinely think Biden is finished. Look at this poll and tell me which politician represents this opinion
I've seen more sound logic from Rand Paul, which I don't like, then from Bernie.
If you're wondering why Bernie has been worse than before on this issue.
Ryan Grim speculates it's because he has the ear of "his friend Joe" and believes that Biden is helping him push stuff for domestic issues. Thus, he doesn't want to break that relationship.
Israel calls on Colombia and Chile to condemn Hamas. The appeal comes after the Latin American countries recalled their ambassadors to Israel.
Chile’s President Gabriel Boric cited Israel’s “unacceptable violations of international humanitarian law” for the recall, while Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused Israel committing a “massacre” of Palestinians in Gaza.
In a statement, Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Lior Haiat said: “Israel calls on Colombia and Chile to explicitly condemn the Hamas terrorist organization, which slaughtered and abducted babies, children, women and the elderly...“Israel expects Colombia and Chile to support the right of a democratic country to protect its citizens, and to call for the immediate release of all the abductees, and not align themselves with Venezuela and Iran in support of Hamas terrorism,” he said.
lmao sir SIR SIR DO YOU CONDEMN HAMAS SIR SIR
Dude walks up to a Merkava. Plants a bomb on the side of it by hand. Runs away. Turns around and fires an RPG at it. Escapes into tunnels.
Literally playing Battlefield irl planting C4s on tanks to destroy them.
Quite possibly the most remarkable piece of combat footage in the last 50 years.
The NYT confirms that in northern Gaza - an Israeli tank fired on that civilian vehicle driving away.
A Palestinian media worker, Youssef Al Saifi, has shared video showing an Israeli armored vehicle firing on what he said was a civilian vehicle today on a main road that links northern Gaza to the south. The New York Times has verified that the video was filmed this morning south of Gaza City on the Salah Al-Din Road. The road is one of two major routes used by Gazans to heed Israeli warnings and flee to the southern part of the enclave. The vehicle was traveling north when it encountered an Israeli position, and was hit as it was turning around.
When asked about the video at a morning briefing, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the chief spokesman for the Israeli military, said that he would not detail the location of Israeli forces. The New York Times has identified multiple armored vehicles at an Israeli military position at the location of the incident.
Nasrallah delivered a realistic and clarifying speech that set the new terms of engagement. High quality leadership as always.
This is what was needed and we can be sure this speech has psychologically eroded and confused the Zionists and their American masters.
His speech clearly explained how Hezbollah has been involved in the fight and that this fight today is driven by the SELF DETERMINATION of the Palestinian nation as represented by the Resistance Leadership, specifically Hamas.
His speech exposed the hypocrisy of Arab nations and Lebanese compradors begging Hezbollah not to act; showing how shameless and munafiqeen so called Arab leaders are.
He specifically identified the US as the cause of the massacres in Gaza and the region and, as a small non-state paramilitary threatened the United States of America! And revealed that Hezbollah has the capabilities to sink the American navy ships! Alhamdulillah
When he says "now is not the time for the knockout blow" is because the entity is bleeding out every day. Hamas is winning in Gaza. The occupation gets weaker every day. Unless the imperialists carry out a pre-emptive strike on Lebanon then Hamas will dictate when Hezbollah joins the fight. Its a long game and you have to understand these leaders are responsible for literally millions of people. This isn't a video game.
Liberation wars are paid in the blood of hundreds of thousands of martyrs. If or when escalation occurs then the massacres in Gaza these weeks will be only a small fraction of the pure blood spilled by the imperialists. If you have no skin in the game then it is beyond deplorable to be calling for escalation of a war.
May Allah grant victory to the Mujahideen and peace for the martyrs. Inshallah
U.S. and European officials have begun quietly talking to the Ukrainian government about what possible peace negotiations with Russia might entail to end the war, according to one current senior U.S. official and one former senior U.S. official.

Palestine TV correspondent Salman Al-Bashir throws his press vest and helmet to the ground live on air moments after his colleague Mohammad Abu Hatab was martyred in an IOF airstrike on his home in Khan Younis.
"These are simply symbolic items we wear. They don't protect any journalist. None of this does. We are simply victims live on air, sacrificing our souls one after the other. We go as martyrs only. It is only a matter of time.
Our colleague Mohammed Abu Hattab was here just half an hour ago before he was martyred with many of his family members."
At least 11 martyrs ascended in the strike, including Mohammed's wife, son, brother, and others.
Over 35 journalists have ascended to martyrdom as a result of IOF strikes on Gaza since October 7th.
Glory to the martyrs.
Wtf is it with the lib idea that Hamas is some kind of corrupt, ruling gang that heavily exploits the civilians of Gaza as human shields just to stay in power? Do libs even hear themselves speaking? That doesn't make any fucking sense. Somehow they have this idea in their head that being in a leadership position of a resistance group inside a literal concentration camp is a cushy enough gig to warrant fighting an all out war with Israel solely to perpetuate their position.
The most charitable way I can interpret such a profoundly incorrect reading of Hamas is chalking it up to another consequence of the fact that the vast majority of liberals do not know even the absolute barest, most fundamental basics of Palestine's situation. They must think Gaza is just another Arab country on Israel's border and that it has a corrupt, antisemitic government with little popular support. As such, they've totally missed the fact that it is an open air concentration camp in the first place.
I was thinking this morning about that bullshit Isreal was dishing out last week, saying Islamic Jihad was the one that accidentally bombed the hospital.
If Islamic Jihad truly had bombs that were that powerful, why would they simply STOP FUCKING USING THEM. Do these idiots really think they just used this one bomb, said 'oops we fired it wrong' then decided to not use the many other massive bombs they had to hit Isreal.
I don't know if this thought makes sense, but gaht damn you have to be a fucking idiot to think that was Islamic Jihad. So you're telling me they have what could be a massive military advantage and they're simply deciding not to use that military advantage right now. Fuck.
I miss ussr. Sure, they had many flaws but I can not focus on them for no country was devoted to decolonization as much as them. I can not blame China for not doing charity work by not supporting decolonization but also I have to arrive at a conclusion that ussr did it for charity work. It almost seem like they did it just for the sake of humanity. I will remember you fondly. I hope we can make you rest easy by finishing Palestinian liberation you started .
my heroic soldierEvery civilian death is a tragedy.
When liberals are yelling about sanctioning Russia and sending weapons to Israel consider this:
- In 20 months there were 9600 civilian fatalities in Ukraine according to the UN (1179 killed in the first month, I think this counts both sides)
- In 3 weeks at least 8000 Palestinian civilians were murdered by the IOF
The civilian murder rate of Israel is 24x that of Russia.
Sorry for being vulgar, but the hypocrisy, the double standards in the mainstream discourse is... staggering to say the least. Spineless bastards.
I love how Zionists can only point to 2 or 3 bullshit stories they cooked up but we have thousands of verifiably true instances of their brutality.
If western media dedicated as much time to every war crime Israel has ever done as they have to 40 trillion sautéed babies, the universe would die before they could wrap it up.
Just noticed that next week marks the Kherson withdrawal one year anniversary. Literally nothing gamechanging has happened since then. Wagner took Bakhmut, which is the only notable city changing hands in a whole fucking year. We losers have been reading news for a whole year and if you show anyone a Ukraine War map from Nov 2022 and Nov 2023, the human eye can't see a difference other than the little Ukrainian death bulge near Robotyne. I wish I had learned Chinese or something instead of reading tweets about Wagner tactics in Soledar and Ukrainian leopard Ls in Urozhaine for an hour a day.

I don't believe NIS on anything but you can 100% guarantee that I'm spreading this to pro palestine peoples. This is a very strong opportunity to get through to people who are currently ignoring media lies about palestine. They will be willing to re-evaluate their opinion of DPRK if they're in the mindset of rejecting propaganda. On top of that they're going to be very happy to have such support from them.

Difference in morale between IOF and Hamas fighters has to be immeasurable.
Hamas are fighting for their very existence, many of them have nothing to lose, their friends, families and livelihoods were wiped out by the IOF. There is no home to return to, nowhere to run, and the people who did this to you are the exact enemies you're fighting right now. At that point, what else are you gonna do except run at the tank and pray?
r/combatfootge is on some 4th dimensional copium right now
Half the comments are desperately trying to find ways to furtively celebrate what is definitely the greatest combat footage of the 21st century so far, while the other half are going "guys guys remember Hamas bad and IDF super advanced greatest most moral army who are not owned"

Like the algo's feeding me all these pro-Palestine posts with a good amount of upvotes, but woebegone ye tides if you actually open the thread and read the comments. Genocidal freaks everywhere, but even more both sides liberals.
Not the greatest fan of the Resistance Cinematic Universe so far; while Iran Man 2 was a nice showing and Houtheye had that awesome moment when the superhero lands a missile with pinpoint accuracy from 2000 kilometers away, there's way too much dialogue compared to action. Guess that's what you get when you don't have the US military bankrolling you though

Slavoj Žižek: Hamas massacre of Israelis must be condemned, no ifs or buts
Slavoj Žižek, a Slovakian philosopher, cultural critic, and self-described "moderately conservative communist", affirmed Israel's right to destroy Hamas in Gaza, and further spoke on the subsequent rise in antisemitism in an interview given to the YouTube channel PoliticsJOE published on Friday.
He has often taken a very critical stance against Israeli policy, particularly in the West Bank and this has led to accusations of antisemitism. He references at the beginning of his interview that he gave a speech in Frankfurt that condemned terrorism and affirmed Israel's right to destroy Hamas but also criticized Israeli policy in the West Bank for contributing to the event. Thus, he started an op-ed piece for Project Syndicate, an online opinion site that hosts a variety of commentators, by writing that "the barbarism that Hamas has unleashed on Israel should be condemned unconditionally, with no 'ifs' or 'buts.' The massacres, rapes, and abductions of civilians from villages, kibbutzim, and a music festival was a pogrom, confirming that Hamas’s true goal is to destroy the state of Israel and all Israelis." He expressed his horror during the interview with PoliticsJOE at how Hamas deliberately attacked communities of people who had been pushing for peace with those in Gaza and had worked to make that a reality, "by hiring them and helping them [to go to hospitals in Israel]".
They attacked there "not only because it was most practical," he said, "Because the real aim of this attack was to eternalize war, to prevent any possibility of peace for decades." He attacked both Hamas as well as Netanyahu and his government, specifically National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, for producing radical programs that call for exclusive control of the region by one ethnic group, Arabs and Jews respectively.
Žižek sees the main goal as not to fall for radicalism and to recognize that "The key point here is not to fall into this trap of Palestinian versus Israeli, but that those who are now playing opposite roles are really playing a very similar game." "Hamas and Israeli hardliners are two sides of the same coin," he writes in his op-ed. "The choice is not one hardline faction or the other; it is between fundamentalists and all those who still believe in the possibility of peaceful co-existence."
What an absolute fucking monstrous dipshit. We're reaching entirely new levels of dumbfuck bothsidery.
27 days after the start of Al-Aqsa Flood, our fighters continue to confront the occupation forces in northwest Gaza, the south, and in Beit Hanoun, executing successful attacks against the occupation's vehicles and soldiers.
We can hardly count our fighter's operations... In the last 48 hours, our fighters have destroyed what amounts to a battalion of tanks and killed and injured a large number of the occupation forces' soldiers, using anti-tank weapons, direct clashes, and drones.
We carried out a major counterattack this evening on the northwest axis of Gaza City, destroying six tanks, two troop carriers, and a bulldozer.
The number of the enemy's dead is much higher than what the enemy command is announcing.
We managed to encircle behind enemy lines and attack them from point blank.
The "Namer" troop carrier, which the occupation army promoted as the most fortified vehicle in the world, failed in its first test against our shells.
To the occupation leadership: Await more of your soldiers returning in black bags. We will make Gaza a curse upon you as it has always been.
We feel proud when the enemy forces boast about breaching axes in the Gaza Strip, as if they are breaching the axes of a great power.
Our pain for the loss and martyrdom of thousands of our people will increase our determination and vigor to make the enemy pay a steep price.

I think the nothingburger speech was just that. Just like Putin’s speeches weren’t followed by shock and awe, so won’t this one.

The death toll in Gaza is over 10,000 with 70% being women and children.
Save the Children, an international non-governmental organization, reported that nearly 3,200 children have been killed in Gaza in just three weeks.
This surpasses the number of children killed annually across the world's conflict zones since 2019, Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the United Nations (UN) Agency for Palestine Refugees, said on Monday. "This cannot be 'collateral damage,'" he noted.
Russian communist talks about her visit to Italy (Part 2):
We come to the home of one of the organizers of the conference, the leader of the Italian Fronte del dissenso Moreno Pasquinelli. Moreno lives in Umbria, in the village of Castellina, on a mountain. A stone house built in 1200 (!!!), half sunk into the ground. Suddenly it turns out that in this house, which seems so familiar to us, about 50 people can easily fit around a large oak table - leaders of local communities, political and student leaders of Umbria were invited to meet with us.
Over plates of spaghetti we talk about the war in Europe, the nature of Kyiv fascism, and the support of the Russian special operation by the Western public. As soon as the conversation turns to Russian problems, a calm conversation turns into a stormy, emotional discussion: we are trying to explain to our Italian colleagues that our support for the special operation and the Kremlin’s foreign policy efforts does not mean at all that we support Putin in domestic political issues - we are the opposition. “Leave your differences at least for a while,” the Italians shout, “when you win the war, then you will make claims to the authorities...”
In response to our objections, Moreno jumps up on the table, in the middle of plates of spaghetti, pulls down his pants, shows his bare ass and shouts: “Here! This is what will happen to all of Europe, this is what will happen to Italy, this is what will happen to all of us if your Putin loses the war! ! Do you understand??"
We understand. There is nothing to object to. “This is our war,” we say, “and we will not lose it.”
The Italians sure have a way of expressing themselves.
So my suspicions were correct. There has been a split within Hamas, and surprise surprise it's the faction that's not directly involved in waging war that's being useless, sectarian, and defeatist. This is who all those Western articles sourcing "senior Hamas officials" are using. Just a bunch of useless bozos who haven't taken up arms against the IOF and are now crying that Hezbollah hasn't reduced Tel Aviv to rubble in the comfort of a luxury hotel.
Be on the lookout for various "Senior Hamas officials express disappointment in Nasrallah's speech" and "Nasrallah's speech exposes further divide between Hamas and Hezbollah says senior Hamas officials" articles in the coming days by the West.

Crazy how the Russia vs Ukraine war seems to be developing in the exact way Russian non-doomers started preaching about back in Sep-Oct 22 after the successful Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv and the start of Russian mobilization.
Limited Ukrainian gains that elevate morale but not end the war ✅
Russia ramps up production and mobilizes more troops after chilling too much in the start of the war ✅
Western backers steer Ukraine into investing everything into a summer counter-offensive ✅
Wagner dudes slowly taking Bakhmut despite strong Ukrainian defence ✅
Russia getting its shit together and building good defences ✅
Ukrainian counter-offensive sees limited success but failing hard when it comes to major objectives ✅
Ukraine loses its momentum, West gets bored, Russia gets ready for their offensive --> We're here
Gradual economic, morale and military collapse for Ukraine as Western supports dries up ⏳
Russia regains positive momentum as material gap gets bigger ⏳
Internal issues start to clearly fuck up Ukrainian military operations ⏳
Finally the big fist offensive by Russia that builds the foundations of the end of the war ⏳

Israel stopped listening to Hamas radio traffic a year ago: Report
Israel’s signals intelligence agency, Unit 8200, stopped listening to traffic on Hamas fighters’ hand-held radios a year ago, according to a report by The New York Times.
The Israeli army stopped doing so because they believed it was a “waste of effort”, read the investigation which details the security failures over the past years that paved the way for the October 7 assault into southern Israel.
The report also said that US intelligence services had “largely stopped” collecting information on Hamas under the conviction that Israel was managing the group’s regional threat.

When the generators fall silent, we will be relegated to practicing medieval-level medicine. Without an urgent resupply of fuel, the lights will go out permanently, and our hospital could turn into a morgue.
[...]
Most of us have chosen to remain in northern Gaza, defying the evacuation orders because we’re unwilling to leave behind our patients, for many of whom evacuation would mean certain death. Abandoning them now would be a violation of my Hippocratic oath as well as basic human decency. My wife and six children have also stayed at the hospital with me since the violence began.
I’ve tried to convince them to head south, but my wife told me that we will either live or die together. Many Palestinians in north Gaza feel the same, risking their lives at home rather than face the prospect of becoming refugees in the south.

On Oct. 20, as I finished operating on a girl who had lost her leg, I stepped into the hallway and my wife was there to hug me. Our home, she told me, had been destroyed in an airstrike on an adjacent building while I was in surgery. The hospital is now our only home. At night, I go to my office and close the door to cry, away from the eyes of my patients and family.

His name spelled correctly is Hussam Abu Safiya. They spelled his name wrong. Twice. And the article is from yesterday. They'd know that and be forced to fix it in a timely manner if comments were on.
Looking through the comments on this NYT article on settler terrorism in the West Bank, it's pretty wild that so many of the reader top comments are some flavor of "the Palestinian are justified in striking back at these people". I couldn't imagine this even a few years ago.
Sick with Covid and consumed a bunch of content from 2016-2020 for some reason. Seeing them years later really shows how bizarre the Trump years were. Jussie Smollett, SNL, Maddow, Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson being taken seriously, Colbert crying over Trump, etc. It's somehow worse than the media was during the Bush years.

In my own relatively unimportant provincial city in northern Europe there has been several protests, you see banners and Palestinian flags hanging out of windows and on cars. Someone is drawing small Palestinian flags and gluing then to buses and mailboxes. The public displays of support for Palestine is driven largely by the Palestinian refugee communities you find everywhere in Europe. After all, it is their relatives who are being genocided by the zionists.
Meanwhile no normal people can be arsed to display support for the zionists. The only attempt I know of is some attention-seeking chud councillor who demanded that the zionist fish should be flown next to the Ukrainian one on city hall but AFAIK nothing came of it. Normal people who doesn't directly support Palestine take the "it's the Middle East, they're all killing eachother all the time" position which is as stupid and racist as it is lazy but at least it doesn't accept the premise of the precious zionist state who must be defended at all cost.
The only people who do support the genocide is the majority of politicians and similar professional opinion-havers. They are hardline zionists but they have no popular base for it. People here are as racist and exceptionalist as any westerners but even they can sense that the zionist position is one to be avoided.

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War in 1919 to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. The day is also marked by war remembrances in several other non-Commonwealth countries.
In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

Israel-Palestine war: Israeli minister says nuking Gaza 'an option'
Published date: 5 November 2023 10:29 GMT
Israel's Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said on Sunday that dropping a nuclear weapon on the Gaza Strip is "an option", according to Haaretz.
The minister made the comments in a radio interview during which he maintained that "there are no non-combatants in Gaza", adding that providing humanitarian aid to the Strip would constitute "a failure".
Eliyahu was then asked if, since there are no non-combatants in his view, a nuclear attack on the Gaza Strip is an option. "That's one way," he responded.
When asked about the fate of Palestinians, he said: "They can go to Ireland or deserts, the monsters in Gaza should find a solution by themselves."
He also said the Gaza Strip has no right to exist, adding that anyone waving a Palestinian or Hamas flag "shouldn't continue living on the face of the earth".

b from MoA absolutely cooking today after describing the attempted ethnic cleansing policy of the Biden White House, describing the genocide as “humanitarian corridor” and “a plan for safe passage to Egypt”
This is another failure of the dimwit policies cooked up by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and SecState Anthony Blinken as directed by their Zionist puppeteers.
I for one support all plans that would allow them to safely leave Washington DC. They can move to Antarctica or to wherever the climate is severe enough to cool their genocidal moods.
The Brazilian Air Force will transport the humanitarian aid cargo, which consists of corn and powdered milk.
On Monday, the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that it will send two tons of food to the Gaza Strip. Previously, this South American country sent a shipment of water purifiers and medicines that are already in Egypt.
The new shipment of humanitarian aid consists of corn and powdered milk donated by the Landless Movement (MST), a left-wing peasant organization that has historically expressed its solidarity with Palestine.
The cargo will be transported by a Brazilian Air Force plane to Egypt, on whose border with the Gaza Strip humanitarian aid sent by dozens of countries is concentrated and which enters the Palestinian territory in dribs and drabs.
Entry is through the Egyptian Rafah crossing to the Awja crossing, where loads are inspected before entering the Gaza Strip. These procedures occur despite the serious deterioration of the humanitarian and health situation in the Palestinian enclave.
Currently, some 30 Brazilians and thousands of citizens of other countries are trapped in the Palestinian territory waiting for an agreement to allow their departure to Egypt.
The offensive launched by the Israeli occupation forces, however, has prevented the formation of a humanitarian corridor that allows the departure of people from Gaza, a Palestinian territory that remains under incessant Israeli bombardment.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Lebanese militias attacked an Israeli occupation army position on the border with Lebanon. The operation did not generate casualties on any of the fighting sides.
Like I'm not crazy in thinking that the zionist government in israel and it's useful idiots around the world are straight up lying and engaging in hyperbole to make the oct. 7th attacks sound juicer to end times evangelicals and genocidal jews to further the country's aims no? Also worth pointing out that the more the zionists lie the more emboldened antisemites around the world are going to become. We're a couple steps away from groypers rightfully pointing out that israel is lying, and therefore it means the holocaust was fake too, because Israel lies, ofc they're wrong, but you get what I mean.
🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
—
A call from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to all the honorable people of our nation and the free people of the world:In the face of the flowing blood in Gaza, words no longer work: Rise... Revolt... Storm the embassies of the aggressor nations... Burn them... Destroy them. Demand a halt to the flow of oil and gas to countries complicit in the aggression.
Time is of the essence, and history is unforgiving... Be assured that the people of Palestine will not let you down.
O free people, the fascist enemy seeks revenge on the Jabalia refugee camp, as well as the Nuseirat and Shati' camps, committing horrific massacres, which exceed in brutality what the Nazis did in their dark history, using six tons of destructive American bombs. A tragedy that appeals to human conscience; anyone who remains silent towards this killer is complicit in the genocide and depriving Palestinians of their humanity.
A morally, politically, and militarily defeated entity wants to claim victory over our Palestinian blood.
The Jabalia camp is the womb of the revolution and a symbol of Palestinian resilience and resistance, standing first in the battle of honor and duty, a spirit characterized by its strength, steadfastness, and high bravery. With its ground campaign, the enemy wants to cover its inevitable failure with massacres against Palestinian civilians, saluting the men of resistance in their various formations who are facing this aggression, and our steadfast people who reject displacement plans despite the genocidal war waged against them by the enemy.
Great Gaza, with the stature of its heroes and the blood of its children, is our roots deep in the ground. It will rise from the ashes.
Verbal stances don't shoot down planes or prevent missiles from falling on the heads of the innocent. Therefore, we call:
- To expel the ambassadors of aggression.
- A cry of anger and dignity to the entire the Arab street to stop the flow of oil and gas to countries complicit in the aggression.
- It is time to close the American military bases in the Arab countries.
- For the workers' unions in global ports to refuse to unload or load any weapon shipments from or to the zionist entity.
Let us trust in our people, our self, our dignity, our freedom, and our right to life.

If you protest war crimes you're a "heckler"?
At a campaign reception in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, a heckler who identified herself as a rabbi interrupted President Biden and demanded a cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group. “As a rabbi, I need you to call for a cease-fire right now,” the woman, who gave her name to reporters as Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, shouted. In response, Biden said he does believe there should be a “pause” in order to get more people out of Gaza. The woman was escorted out by security singing “cease-fire now.”

I wonder what song she was singing that to.
Yemen is in the war and doing what they can from their geographical position. The main problem I think t hey have is Saudi being in the way and they can't just put troops on ships because the US have deployed strike forces that would almost certainly attack if they knew that was occurring. Unless the US naval blocking assets are removed the only acts they'll be able to perform are missile strikes.
The #Yemeni Armed Forces: We are ready to do everything within our sacred duty to defend Palestine. If we were next to Palestine, we would go with hundreds of thousands of #Yemenis to fight with the #Palestinian people. We are ready for that, but we need a way to reach Palestine.
French senators propose bill to make Zionism criticism a criminal offence
A group consisting of 16 French senators, most of them associated with the political party The Republicans (LR), introduced a bill, led by Senator Stéphane Le Rudulier, aimed at making anti-Zionism a criminal offense. Senator Le Rudulier argues that the rise in anti-Semitism is linked to hatred of Israel.
The proposed bill, which was submitted for a first reading in the Senate, includes penalties for various offenses related to anti-Zionism. It seeks to punish those who deny the existence of the State of Israel with one year of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 45,000. Those who insult the State of Israel would face two years imprisonment and a fine of EUR 75,000, and those who directly provoke hatred or violence against the State of Israel with five years of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 100,000.
“With 16 senators we demand the criminalization of anti-Zionism. The explosion of anti-Semitism is fueled by hatred of Israel, the false nose of hatred of Jews Anti-Zionism could expose its perpetrators to up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros,” Le Rudulier stated on X. Senator Le Rudulier has also called for the dissolution of La France Insoumise, as well as parties that have advocated terrorism and Hamas, which he says call for the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews. In a letter addressed to Élisabeth Borne, the senator denounces the presence of what he calls a “fifth column of Palestinian terrorism in France” and calls for the dissolution of several political groups accused of advocating terrorism.
Some political commentators have said there has been an increase in the conflation of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Richard Wagman, the honorary president of the French Jewish Union for Peace (UJFP), has criticized the conflation, emphasizing that anti-Semitism is a form of racial discrimination and hatred, while Zionism and anti-Zionism are political ideas.

Student protesters walk out of Hillary Clinton’s class at Columbia.
Nearly 300 students were seated at Columbia University on Wednesday afternoon for a two-hour lecture on women’s involvement in peace processes delivered by Hillary Clinton and Keren Yarhi-Milo, the dean of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs.
Not even halfway through the class, about 30 students stood up and gathered their computers and backpacks, as part of a planned student walkout. They joined several dozen other protesters congregating near the lobby of the building.
The demonstrators, who sat quietly in a common area in the International Affairs Building — many of them in face masks — were protesting what they perceived as the school’s role in publicly shaming students whose photographs appeared last week on the video screen panels on a truck seen near campus. The screens showed the faces of students beneath the words “Columbia’s Leading Antisemites.” The students said the photographs were taken from a “private and secure” online platform for students at the School of International and Public Affairs.
They demanded “immediate legal support for affected students” and “a commitment to student safety, well being and privacy.”
The students whose images appeared on the video panels were members of groups that had signed a statement about the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel that said, in part, “The weight of responsibility for the war and casualties undeniably lies with the Israeli extremist government.”
As Ms. Yarhi-Milo and Mrs. Clinton’s class was finishing around 4 p.m., the demonstrators shushed themselves into silence, anticipating that the dean and the former secretary of state would soon walk past the gathered students. That time never came. Word spread that Ms. Yarhi-Milo and Mrs. Clinton had left the building through a side door.
A spokeswoman for Columbia said the university had no comment. The protest came the day after the school announced a new task force on doxxing and student safety.

So we're in what, day 3 of a ground invasion? Though not "official official" it's official, the IDF is attempting to (thus far mostly failing) to invade Gaza.

Palestinian Authority says half of homes in Gaza destroyed
The health ministry of the Palestinian Authority, which is based in the West Bank, has put out new figures on the impact of the the war in Gaza. It says:
-
More than 50% of Gaza's housing units have been destroyed
-
Nearly 70% of its population are displaced
-
16 out of 35 hospitals that can take in-patients have stopped functioning
-
42 UNRWA buildings have been damaged
-
At least seven churches and 55 mosques are damaged
-
As we reported earlier, Israel accuses Hamas of locating infrastructure in tunnels underneath civilian areas.
Israel says it has struck more than 11,000 "targets belonging to terrorist organisations" in Gaza and dropped more than 10,000 munitions on Gaza City alone since 7 October, when it began its campaign in retaliation for Hamas's deadly attacks.

It's a steady stream of horrible news about Gaza. And the following comment is an unoriginal thought on my part but I can't believe that "Everything bad or awful in Gaza is directly due to Hamas" is an actual argument.

I just finished Rashid Khalidi’s The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine. I started it after I saw Hakim recommend it on Twitter. I definitely recommend it. It’s a relatively quick read - you’ll just get an overview instead of a lot of details. But it’s great. There are several areas I wish he did go into more detail but he gives you enough info to be able to research topics on your own (the whole thing that went on in 1982 with Lebanon and Sabra and Shatil is something I plan on looking into more next).
One thing I appreciate is Khalidi makes one point clear: at no point in the last hundred years have the Palestinians ever been offered meaningful autonomy. Technically they had it briefly with the UN partition plan but Israel, Egypt and Jordan immediately took it away from them. Israel has never offered them anything resembling autonomy.
Always projection: Settlers get skin cancer too much because their skin is mostly adapted for European climate, so they harvest skin and other organs from Palestinians.
Was made aware today that Israel has been working on a new Merkava model, the Merkava Mk.5 "Barak," which at a glance seems to best be described by an overconfidence & over-reliance on technology.
A first major improvement came from sights; the commander got a new panoramic sight while the gunner’s sight is also brand new, Idan Tavor underlining that these are one or even more generation ahead of previous ones. Improvements came in electro-optic performances, which provide better imaging, “but the main step forward is that they have integrated AI into those sight that have now autonomous behaviours, and are capable to identify targets and objects by themselves.”
I seriously doubt that current AI technology is going to be better at identifying targets than a well trained crew working in conjunction with infantry support who can function as additional eyes for the tank (granted Israel's target acquisition only need be as sophisticated as to be able to determine whether someone is Palestinian or not). Best case scenario, it occasionally manages to pick out threats faster than the crew can, but I imagine the average experience using AI target acquisition is going to sifting though a lot of false positives.
The Fire Control System (FCS) has also been entirely upgraded. “The new version is faster and has better performances,” we were told, adding that the Merkava Barak is able to shoot on the move, day and night, with increased accuracy.
Being able to accurately fire on the move at both day & night has already been standard for most tanks made in the past few decades, so while it is probably an improvement over current FCS systems, I'm willing to bet it's not significant enough to really be notable.
Human-machine interface has also be completely reviews, adapting it to the young conscripts experience, multi-touchscreens with smartphone-like interface being now adopted. “We worked on it pretty hard for the last two years in order to make it very approachable for young soldiers who are used to their cell phones and playstations and now need to fight in a tank and we developed for them a very nice and new HMI.”
It's like a vibeo game!!!But seriously, what's the obsession with making everything touch screens nowadays? Especially in a military context where you'd think it'd be useful to have tactile controls that can be operated on muscle memory during high stress situations.
There's probably more stuff to pick apart, but overall it just feels like they're trying to use technology to compensate for the fact that they're frequently having to use their tanks in situations that tanks really shouldn't be used in, namely that they're being operated by under-trained conscripts to fight in urban guerilla warfare.
Settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is rising sharply.
Attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are surging, with at least 115 killed, more than 2,000 injured and nearly 1,000 others forcibly displaced from their homes because of violence and intimidation by Israeli forces and settlers since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, according the United Nations.
Among the dead are 33 children, according to an update on Sunday from the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which has been tracking the conflicts.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on his visit to Israel and Palestine - "There's a word that come up all the time and it's 'complexity' and it's closely related adjective 'complicated'...

Just out of curiosity I looked at what Media Bias Fact Check says about the Electronic Intifada. They rated it Mostly Factual (4 out of 6).
A quote from the site:
... I would rate EI as mostly factual in reporting despite the use of excellent sourcing in most articles and left biased based on story selection and wording that sometimes amounts to propaganda such as this: No hope, no future, only revenge.
A factual search reveals they have not formally failed a fact check.
Overall, we rate Electronic Intifada Left biased based on strong pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli bias. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to a lack of transparency regarding funding, as well as strongly loaded emotional wording that may be misleading.Lines within the bourgeoisie are being drawn: https://nitter.cz/FT/status/1719385543971328436

Faced with Israel’s technological and military superiority, Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigade, has turned Gaza into a haven for guerrilla war.

This is the first time in my life, since the George Floyd protests and riots, that I’ve seen one of the “eternal” veils of propaganda stripped from so many people’s eyes. This is a good thing, but I feel incredibly cautious because this leads to wanton brutality upon the masses by the bourgeoise as they struggle to maintain control

A thread with some interesting points on the latest Israeli claim of a hostage being retaken:
"The girl was not a prisoner in the first place. Her name - Ori Megidish - was not on the official list of hostages. Her name was added to it later, but the site was archived prior, without the girl's name being visible anywhere on it"
edit: this facebook account does not seem to be her but the other points hold up so far. this may or may not have been a thing where they slapped an Israeli soldier inside Gaza, did a photo op, then took her out and acted as if she was a hostage - I think the most plausible version of events currently is that she was separated from her unit during a ground incursion, perhaps taken prisoner or perhaps just got lost and hunkered down and called for aid via radio or something, and then rescued one way or another - this isn't somebody who was taken hostage in the October 7th attack, at least that's what the current evidence suggests.
I had the idea to make a meme with a bunch of IDF dorks and a Merkava lost in Blackreach with the caption being like "The IDF proves incapable of conducting tunnel warfare" and one of the soldiers is saying something like "how the fuck did we end up in black-reach again?" but I don't have the focus to actually make it right now so y'all are just going to have to imagine.

Instead, in case after case, the military treated the crews’ combat injuries as routine psychiatric disorders, if they treated them at all. Troops were told they had attention deficit disorder or depression. Many were given potent psychotropic drugs that made it hard to function and failed to provide much relief.

Israel might be targeting UNRWA facilities, former UN official says
Former UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness pointed to the fact that more than 70 UNRWA staff have been killed and more than 40 facilities have been hit by Israeli strikes.
“Whether or not UNRWA is being targeted, I can’t answer that, but the fact is UNRWA staff are being killed, [and] UNRWA facilities are being hit,” he said.
“They [the Israeli military] know the GPS coordinates. Draw your own conclusions.”
An MSNBC reporter just described the slaughter at the Jabalia refugee camp as a "mass casualty event". I guess that will be the American media's generic go-to term for Israeli behavior in Gaza. I wonder what term they'll use in the West Bank. I don't think it'll be "mass casualty event" because it seems to me the media likes that term to describe allies acting in war zones. And they don't want Americans to think of Israeli actions in the West Bank has being warlike.

Edit
Ghouls everywhere.
An MSNBC military guy (Jack Jacobs) just said that's possible that what happened in Jabalia might have been due to an Israeli airstrike with possibly a bunker busting bomb or it could have been caused by munitions stored underground. He said "There's no way to know."
Goddamn that's deep
Telecommunications cut to Gaza once again about an hour ago; Gaza is currently experiencing the worst bombing it has ever experienced.
Something going on with the Iron Dome Interceptors. Maybe it's a bad batch or maybe the system is being defeated in a new unique way but this video shows 2 interceptors launching then immediately flying straight into the ground. The second can be seen in the background.

Feels like the media and western governments are really honing in on the “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” chant over the last few days. In their view, that constitutes promoting the destruction of Israel and is thus terrorism and (ironically) promoting genocide.
I mean, yeah, we do want the destruction of the Israeli state. Settler colonial states don’t have a “right” to exist (USA, Canada, Australia et al included). The problem is, since most people are so woefully ignorant of the history of Palestine, they don’t understand that the destruction of Israel does not mean, like, killing everyone there. It means the destruction of the racist and apartheid system. Palestine will only be free when there is one binational secular state where the rights of all are protected, and the Palestinians who were forced out are allowed to return. So while I (and do think we, too) do not believe anyone currently in Israel proper should be forced out much less killed, the current fascist theocratic ethnostate of Israel must be eliminated.
IRL, I’ve tried to explain the “from the river to the sea” chant by comparing it to South Africa. It was only just that the apartheid system be smashed. South Africa under apartheid was effectively like Israel/Palestine now: bantustans were essentially occupied territory and had no real autonomy but Africans were also not allowed to have any real say in the overall system. When that system was dismantled, South Africa was no longer a racist white supremacist state that legally constrained the rights of the majority of the population. Obviously the work was not complete as there is still significant economic and political disparity, but South Africa was transformed from a racist white supremacist state that occupied and held down the black majority to a multinational state where there is ostensibly equal rights for all. And at no point (to my knowledge) was there any serious consideration to shipping off the white population back to the UK and Holland, much less serious advocacy for genociding them.
I think people have a much easier time wrapping their heads around the situation in South Africa. Just sucks that people are so ignorant that you have to go into such detail to explain it. Not that western governments care, this crackdown on speech is genuinely getting scary.

Is the Nasrallah speech on Friday really expected to be that big a deal? When it first came up, I didn't think too much about it considering it was scheduled an entire week away. Surely if it was that important, they'd want to put it out ASAP, right? My assumption was that it'd just be Nasrallah summarizing the situation, giving another strongly worded denouncement of Israel, and then business as usual.

500,000 trapped in ‘siege within a siege’ in north Gaza: Oxfam
The charity organisation has said it gravely concerned for about 500,000 Palestinians – as well as the over 200 Israeli and other national Hamas-held captives – currently trapped in a “siege within a siege” in northern Gaza.
The organisation said Israeli forces have a “near-complete stranglehold on Gaza City and the northern region, effectively cutting the enclave in half from the border wall to the sea”.
“We are sharing resources with ten other families. The markets almost empty. There’s no fresh food across all the city. We depend on canned food. The bread markets have no electricity and only a limited amount of fuel – one day, two days, five days – we don’t know,” Oxfam humanitarian worker Alhasan Swairjo via a voice-note from Gaza City, according to Oxfam.
“We are making bread at home but don’t know in next few days if we will have enough cooking gas. Our children are suffering, they don’t understand why we moved, why Israel is shooting us. We cannot give a good explanation why all this is happening. Now we’re fighting to survive, our children are fighting to survive,” Swairjo said.
Does someone have a link to that poll showing that Israeli voters overwhelmingly support bombing civilians. I swear it was posted in this thread this week but I can't find it.
EDIT: Nevermind, found it.

U.N. human rights lawyer resigns, criticizes the agency and calls the Israeli strikes in Gaza ‘genocide.’
The director of the New York office of the United Nations’ human rights agency has resigned, accusing the U.N. in a sharply worded letter of abandoning its own principles and international law, and of failing to stop Israel’s deadly bombardment of Gaza, which he called a “genocide.”
The former director, Craig Mokhiber, a human rights lawyer, wrote in the letter dated Oct. 28: “I write at a moment of great anguish for the world, including for many of our colleagues. Once again, we are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes, and the Organization that we serve appears powerless to stop it.”

Benjamin Netanyahu: “Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11. Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7th. The Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war.”

Palestinian telecoms company says ‘all communications and Internet services’ with Gaza cut off

The editorial board of the Financial Times has officially come out in favour of a ceasefire. It also rightly criticises the Biden admin over their rejection of Palestinian death tolls.
Sorry, no Nitter link as non of the instances I use seem to be able to find it.
In fact, [Edward] Said was Obama’s English professor at Columbia University. Obama attended many pro-Palestine events when he was younger, and he worked closely with many Palestinian organizers. He was supportive or at the least even-handed. That he capitulated to state interests… shame.

Future generations will censure us for letting this happen. The death count has surpassed 10 thousand, mostly children and women. There is not even enough water to wash the wounds of survivors, let alone food, drugs etc. How can anyone sleep at night?
"IDF says it carried out airstrike on Gaza ambulance". Can there be a stronger invitation to the International Criminal Court to charge them with war crimes? [Even if the ambulance was carrying a Hamas overlord, bombing it violates the Geneva Convention.]
Brazil's Workers Party (Lula's Party) slams Israel for holding Brazilians in Gaza
BRASILIA, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Brazil's ruling Workers Party criticized the Israeli government on Friday for not allowing 34 Brazilians to leave Gaza, saying Israel is playing favorites when deciding who should be allowed to evacuate the besieged Palestinian territory.
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen told his Brazilian counterpart Brazil's nationals would leave Gaza by Wednesday, a Brazilian foreign ministry spokesman said late on Friday.
In three days since the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened to allow nationals of other countries to leave Gaza, Brazilians waiting to leave were not on the list approved by Israel, despite diplomatic efforts to include them.
"For the third time, the Israeli government denied the departure of Brazilian citizens threatened by the massacre against the civilian population in the Gaza strip," Workers Party president Gleisi Hoffmann said in a social media post.
She said the Israeli government has not provided any explanation for what she said was discrimination. Brazil tried to find a negotiated solution to the conflict when it presided over the U.N. Security Council in October, Hoffmann said.
"Unfortunately, the Israeli government signals that it has established a political hierarchy for the release of civilians, favoring some countries over others," Hoffmann said.
"We cannot allow that Brazilian civilians remain threatened in a region under military massacre," she added.
Hundreds of foreign passport holders and gravely injured Palestinians have been evacuated from Gaza via the Rafah crossing to Egypt since Wednesday in a deal brokered by Qatar between Egypt, Israel and Hamas, in coordination with the U.S.
Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas, which rules Gaza, after the militant group killed 1,400 people and took more than 240 hostages in an Oct. 7 assault in southern Israel. Gaza health officials said on Saturday that more than 9,488 Palestinians have been killed so far in the Israeli assault.
A diplomatic source briefed on Egyptian plans said some 7,500 foreign passport holders would be evacuated over two weeks.
Brazilian officials said they have no explanation for the failure to let their citizens out of Gaza. Some local media have speculated it is due to positions taken by Brazil at the United Nations and comments by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Lula has criticized the "terrorism" of Hamas that started the war, but he has also criticized Israel for its "insane" bombardment of Gaza that has killed hundreds of children.

Palestinian Red Cross Society says as heavy artillery and airstrikes hit near Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza
The Al-Quds hospital trembled following heavy “artillery and airstrikes" in the surrounding Tal Al Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City, the Palestinian Red Cross Society said early Tuesday morning local time.
Those sheltering inside the hospital are “experiencing fear and panic,” the Palestinian Red Cross Society said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Some 12,000 internally displaced civilians are sheltering at the hospital, group said on Sunday.
The Israeli military did not have an immediate comment on reports of activity in the area.
The Al-Quds hospital is located north of Wadi Gaza — the line south of which Israel has urged people in Gaza to flee.
In central Gaza, journalist Hassan Eslayeh told CNN that artillery fire in the area was consistent all day and night Monday.
He witnessed the injured and dead being brought to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, including 31 bodies at the morgue tent that were being prepared for a morning prayer on the dead.

Al Jazeera statement on cyberattacks targeting website, broadcasting
Al Jazeera Media Network has been subjected to an unprecedented surge of cyberattacks aimed at crippling its website and broadcasting capabilities, while covering the war on Gaza.
These attacks are some of the most severe and intense that the network has encountered.
The teams at Al Jazeera working to mitigate these attacks have uncovered that a significant portion of them are originating from IP addresses connected to entities actively engaged in the ongoing conflict.
Additionally, certain IP addresses have been found to be employing tactics to conceal their true origins.
The nature of these cyberattacks is persistent and well-coordinated, evidently with the intention to cause substantial disruption.
They demonstrate a systematic and methodical approach, coupled with the use of sophisticated techniques.
Al Jazeera Media Network maintains its legal right to seek out and hold accountable those responsible for these deliberate and targeted cyber-attacks.
Nasrallah: we will not declare war against Israel until millionare socialist hasan piker says on stream that "Hezbollah will never attack israel again"
Military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida:
- Our fighters continue to confront the Israeli occupation forces on various fronts of Zionist incursion.
- We have destroyed a total of equal to a tank battalion [~40 tanks] along the advancement routes, in less than 48h
- We successfully maneuvered behind enemy lines and launched an attack from point-blank.
- We executed a counteroffensive this evening in the northwest of Gaza City, where we destroyed 6 tanks and 2 military vehicles, in just 1 hour.
- The number of casualties is significantly higher than what the enemy's leadership has announced.
He also mentioned that the enemy is lying and that the resistance can fight for many years and hold its positions.

Anyone else get struck with the feeling that any time we spend doing things OTHER than talking about the Genocide in Gaza is a moral failing in a sense?
