🟠 Gaza Primer

* "Ceasefire": Disingenuous calls for Israel to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Pro-jihadists want Israel to stop defeating Hamas terrorists, so that Arabs can annihilate Jews and Israel.

* "Genocide": The stated goal of Hamas in its original charter. What Arabs have tried to do to Jews since 1948 and well before.

* "Ethnic Cleansing": Since 632, Arabs have colonized and ethnically cleansed nearly the entire Middle-East, N. Africa, and much of the world. Israel is the only 0.3% of the Middle-East they don't have.

* "Indigenous": Jews / Judeans have a 4000 year history in Israel / Judea. Arabs are from S. Arabia. Indigenous means the first peoples in an area, who have an eternal connection with their sacred lands.

* "Jihad": A 1400 year Islamic holy war to replace every other faith. The primary cause for the Israel-Arab conflict, and similar conflicts around the world. Hundreds of millions have died overall from jihad.

* "Replacement Theology": Jihadists want to take Jerusalem just like they took Constantinople, the heart of Christianity at the time. This is why they often mention the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site.

* "Nakba": The failure of Arabs to genocide Jews and replace Israel and Judaism with Islam in the 1948 war of aggression they launched on Israel.

* "A few bad apples": In a recent poll, 98% of Arabs in Gaza said they were "proud" of the Oct 7 atrocities committed by Hamas.

* "Partner for Peace": Hamas official Ghazi Hamad recently said they will do Oct 7th attacks "again and again until Israel is annihilated". The PA also morally and financially supports all Oct 7th terrorists.

* "UN Schools": Jihadist indoctrination facilities, providing training in terrorist ideology and glorification of violence. Also used to store weapons and launch rockets. Run by UNRWA, funded by US/EU taxpayers.

* "Projection": When jihadists psychologically project their history and current strategy of genocide, colonization, ethnic cleansing, rape, violence, and religious hate on others.

* "Useful Idiot": A slang term for activists who don't understand these definitions, and inadvertently support jihadists diametrically opposed to everything they claim to believe in.

⚫ One of the Arabs' best-kept secrets, skillfully obscured over the years, is the true reason behind their refusal of the 1947 UN partition plan:

For those less familiar, here's a quick summary:
After WWII, the British, looking to exit the complicated situation they found themselves in in the Middle East, planned to hand back the mandate they had received from the UN.

The UN dispatched the UNSCOP committee to determine the region's future. The committee proposed several plans, with the well-known Partition Plan eventually being accepted by the majority of its members.

The Jewish community accepted this plan, and a majority of UN members voted in favor of it.

However, the Arabs rejected it, similarly to their earlier refusal of the Peel Commission's recommendations (a topic for another post).

So, why then did the Arabs reject the partition proposal?

Primarily, they were confident in their ability to swiftly defeat the Jews, eliminate them, and seize the entire territory.

This conviction also had a significant contribution to the Nakba as it led them to advise many Arabs to temporarily vacate their homes during the conflicts, expecting to return post-victory - a victory that, of course, never materialized.

Yet, this is not the core reason.

Pay close attention now:
The primary reason Arab leaders rejected the UN's partition proposal was their own disbelief in the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. In fact, they were opposed to it! Indeed, that's exactly as it sounds.

Arab leaders never recognized Palestinians as an ethnic group with self-determination rights, but rather as a part of the larger Arab nation.

As those knowledgeable in history (and not propaganda) understand, there were originally no 'Palestinians', only Arabs.

The Arabs' national goal was to create Greater Syria, covering today's Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Israel, a vision outlined in the McMahon-Hussein correspondence of 1915-1916.

Therefore, they rejected any proposal that independently defined the Palestinians, as such a distinction simply did not exist.

(Interestingly, this truth is widely recognized in the Arab world. While not often acknowledged publicly, it occasionally surfaces, as seen in a video I'll share in the comments)

So next time Palestinian history, culture, or their right to self-determination is discussed, remember that while the world, Jews included, were willing to acknowledge this, the refusal came from the Arabs themselves, who recognized the idea of a Palestinian nation as a UN fabrication.

⚫ In 126 days, haters of Israel have:
1- Never asked Hamas to release Israeli hostages
2- Never asked Hamas to handover perpetrators of Oct 7 massacre of 1,200 Israelis
3- Never asked Hamas to surrender to spare Gaza the death and destruction of the war Hamas started on October 7
4- Never blamed Hezbollah for launching an unprovoked attack on Israel. Never asked Hezbollah to stop its aggression
5- Never asked Houthis to stop striking Israel with missiles or stop threatening global shipping
6- Never ever asked for peace between the Palestinians and Israel, insisting only that Israel stop decimating (ceasefire) Hamas

So why not come clean? Admit that:
1- You want to see Israel vanish, replaced by a Medieval Islamist Palestine
2- You want Hamas spared to be able to fight another day, kill more Israelis in the future
3- You cared little about humanity when the massacred are Israeli (Oct 7), when you demanded that we put the Hamas attack in context, but refuse to put Gaza War in context (response to Hamas massacre)
4- You pretend to care about humanity, but only focus on Palestinians. Most of you cheered for Saddam, Assad, still shill for Putin, Khamenei and the Global South, the tyrants responsible for actual tyranny and genocide.

STOP pretending you are ethical and humanitarian. You are using this as en excuse to help your team survive this, and ultimately win and beat Israel.

Gaza War ends when Hamas is ended.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg cautions about a potential decades-long confrontation with Russia, emphasizing the need for NATO states to strengthen their arms industry. Stoltenberg urges allies to support Ukraine, highlighting the importance of credible deterrence and emphasizing rapid weapons production to counter Russian aggression. He warns that Putin's preparation of the Russian economy for a prolonged war requires a swift response from the West to ensure security and prevent Putin from gaining an advantage.

The son of the head of Chechnya received an award for a competition in which he did not participate

16-year-old Adam Kadyrov received a medal from the UAE SWAT Challenge special forces competition in Dubai for the best result of the fourth day of the Akhmat team.

According to the chairman of the Chechen parliament, Magomed Daudov, Kadyrov Jr. “supported” fighters from the republic.

Now Adam Kadyrov allegedly works as the “head of the security department” of his father, a title which he received last fall after the beating of Nikita Zhuravel, who was arrested for burning the Koran.

It should be noted that the prisoner was restrained when Adam Kadyrov beat him. No actual bravery involved.

Using open digital sources, international detectives conducted a search for eight Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. Approximately 60 detectives and investigators from 23 countries participated in the operation.

The search for the young Ukrainians utilized various methods, including satellite images, facial recognition systems, geolocation, and other investigative techniques. Specialists determined that these children were orphaned and forcibly taken to territories occupied by Russia, where they were exploited for Russian propaganda purposes. Information regarding their whereabouts has been shared with Ukrainian authorities.

"Russia would be eager to strike America, but in a certain way, Ukraine stands in the path of this," stated former Polish president, Lech Wałęsa

Speaking as part of the "Prosperity and Development" project by the Washington-based analytical Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Walesa expressed regret for not being able to achieve a decision on Ukraine and Belarus joining NATO during his presidency.

"We must do everything possible to assist the Ukrainians. They are incredibly courageous people fighting for their freedom and ours. We cannot allow ourselves to fail. We must continue providing military aid," Walesa emphasized, as reported by Voice of America.

The leader in the liberation of Poland from Soviet influence is confident in Ukraine's potential to prevail. However, he foresees a resurgence of Russian aggression within the next 20 years.

The New York Times reports the US's skepticism regarding Putin's call for talks with Ukraine. According to the publication, the Kremlin leader is not inclined to negotiate until at least November, seemingly hopeful for a return of Trump to power, which could offer more favorable terms.

Analysts view Putin's statements with skepticism, likening them to a tactic known as a "peace offensive," a strategy dating back to Soviet times. This approach aims to present a facade of seeking peace to the outside world while placing blame on the other party for refusing to engage in dialogue.

The article also highlights that the United States has no plans to pressure Zelenskyy, and there are no indications from Putin's actions suggesting a genuine readiness to initiate negotiations.

Stocks of shells for Ukrainian air defense will only last until March of this year.

According to The New York Times, although the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a new commander-in-chief, the problems remain the same. General Syrskyi, having taken office, may soon again be faced with the grim calculations that have accompanied the war for two years: “when the cost of defending territory outweighs any benefit obtained from harming the enemy.”

According to the newspaper, Ukrainian troops are exhausted, they lack weapons and ammunition, and air defense systems are depleted, while US assistance is still in question.

Western officials and military experts warn that without American help, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will face a “rapid collapse” on the front line this year, writes the NYT.

The US Senate voted 64-19 to continue debate on aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan over the weekend.

16 people did not vote - mostly those who are against it.

Now, the Senate is in for a laggard series of weekend votes before moving on to final passage. That will include a critical vote on Sunday to overcome a filibuster on the bill.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has vowed to object to a time agreement that could speed up progress, meaning senators will have to run out the clock on debate between each vote, since any one senator can object to a time agreement.

Absent an agreement with Paul, the Senate’s weekend schedule would likely look something like this:

Saturday is the debate.

Sunday: A vote on whether or not to advance an amendment that changes the underlying text of the bill to the language in the borderless foreign aid legislation. That vote would take 60 votes to pass.

Monday: If the above passes, the Senate would move to a vote on actually approving that amendment, which would take a simple majority. The Senate would then take one more procedural vote to advance the bill further. That would take 60 votes

A final passage vote — which would take a simple majority — could happen either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Schumer repeatedly warned Senate Republicans that he would keep the Senate in session until work on the supplemental was done. That plan will now eat into both the weekend — including Super Bowl Sunday — and a planned two-week recess that was slated to begin next week. Members aren't especially excited about that reality, but are proceeding nonetheless.

And if all of above happens, the bill can then be passed to the House of Representatives, where the Republicans are in majority.

Morning trading update for the Russian Dictator Putin and his corrupt team.

Representatives of Russian business are complaining en masse about problems with foreign payments.

China and Turkey are responding to secondary sanctions and banks are ceasing to trade with the terrorist state.

Turkish banks from the beginning of January and Chinese banks from 1st February are refusing the send or receive money.

" Trading in stolen products from Ukrainian territory is going to be harder. Financing the war will be more difficult if Russia can't trade "
It may be possible to use Iranian and north Korean banks but this will take time to sort as would using third parties to do corrupt money laundering transactions .

This is the final part of the documentary trilogy “Offensive”.

The first-person combat footage shows the offensive actions of units of the Third Separate Assault Brigade during the summer-autumn phase of the advance of Ukrainian troops in the Bakhmut direction.

Andriivka was the final point of the brigade’s offensive in Donetsk region.

After clearing the banks of the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal from enemy forces and entrenching in captured positions, the fighters of the brigade are starting a new stage and storming the approaches to the occupied village of Andriivka. Stormers advance from one trench to another. Grazing small arms fire and grenades going in one after another, including thermobaric ones.

The occupiers are offered to surrender, but there is no time for long persuasions here, and the russians’ choice is limited – either prisoner or liquidated. “I’ll smoke you out now!”, – one of the fighters comments and continues “pouring” fire.

Thus, through the forest strips, filled with the burrows of the occupiers and fierce battles, the stormers are approaching the settlement and begin the liberation operation.

The total defeat of the enemy’s 72nd omsbr of the russian federation by the forces of the Third Assault Brigade, constant dynamics on the battlefield, the sounds of explosions, shootings and moments when you say goodbye to life, your brothers-in-arms and family. All for the sake of the victorious raising of the Ukrainian flag and the brigade banner over the liberated land.

About the high price of the de-occupied territories, and what the fighters are living through at this time – in the documentary film.

They are talking bullshit. They can turn off areas like Russia IF THEY WANT. They have done that to Ukraine in the middle of an attack.

Russians are using Starlink at the front, according to Defence One

The first cases of using the terminals were recorded several months ago. So far, we are talking about dozens of devices on the front line. But there could be hundreds of them.

SpaceX said the company "does not do business with the Russian government or its military. Starlink does not operate in Russia. The company has never sold and will never sell equipment to Russia."

The terminals may enter Russia through third countries, just like microchips for Russian rockets.

At the same time, the quality of the Internet distributed by Starlink terminals in the Ukrainian army has plummeted.
