#messiah #rebbe 30 years ago Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known to adherents of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement as the Lubavitcher Rebbe or simply the Rebbe, told a young Netanyahu that “he, Benjamin Netanyahu, will be Israel’s prime minister, who will pass the scepter to the Messiah.” The Rebbe is of Lubavitch Hasidic dynasty. He is considered one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the 20th century.

On 11th November 2023 The Extraordinary Joint Arab-Islamic Summit concluded in Riyadh - Saudi Arabia condemned the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and the war crimes and massacres committed by the colonial occupation government against the Palestinian people in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The Statement demands an immediate stop to aggression. The Statement rejects describing this retaliatory war as self-defence or justifying it under any pretext. It calls for breaking the siege on Gaza and imposing the immediate entry of Arab, Islamic, and international humanitarian aid convoys into the Gaza Strip carrying food, medicine and fuel. It calls for the participation of international organisations in this process and protection for aid crews to enable them fully to carry out their role. It also calls for support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

In his press briefing on 28 October, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu cited a biblical reference to “Amalek” in the context of the “destruction of Palestine” and to “eradicate this evil from the world.” This pseudo-religious spin may have confused all but his ultra-right religious followers, both Jewish and Christian Zionists. What appeared bizarre to many was a highly intentional religious justification for Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s Palestinian men, women, and children. The “annihilate Amalek”theme invokes support from the divine in this modern crusade to exterminate the Amalekites, interpreted today as every Palestinian. Netanyahu’s base of political support among militant settlers finds inspiration from these violent biblical texts. #amalek #netanyahu #israel

A visit to Israel is a totally unique experience. No other country has so much diversity in such a small area – Israel really does have it all. Whilst it only takes six hours to drive from north to south, and, in places, 20 minutes from east to west, Israel is a fantastic travel destination with great diversity developing an international reputation as a cool tourist destination.

#palestine #media #mediabias If you believed the deafening howl of the ‘free press’ in mainstream media, you would think that it was Israel that is being razed to the ground. To this end, the mainstream media,all sing from the same hymn sheet, and developed an elaborate doublespeak: Israelis are ‘killed’, whilst Palestinians merely ‘die’; Hamas ‘massacres’ and ‘slaughters’, while the IDF ‘strikes’ and ‘blasts’.

#supremacy “Wings of a butterfly beats and causes chaos on the other side, the feelings mutual, as she reciprocates my thoughts that lends sparks to fly from closed eyelids and fall like stardusts from a passing comet, holding memoirs from a forgotten moment, a tortured bottle crosses oceans to rest on an idle shore that came from a portrait of Ophelia lying in the lake.” - Abel Corazon

#waronterror #wmd Michael D. Prysner is an American socialist political activist. He is a U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq as a specialist. His duties in Iraq included ground surveillance, home raids and the interrogation of prisoners. He is the co-founder of March Forward, an organization of active-duty members of the U.S. military and veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that encourages current active-duty service personnel to resist deployment. In March 2008, Michael Prysner was a member of a panel discussing the topic Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan in Maryland. He spoke about his time in Iraq as a soldier and his personal views about the two wars. This address became known as the "Our Real Enemies" speech. Michael Prysner is a member of Party for Socialism and Liberation and A.N.S.W.E.R. In 2008, he ran a write-in campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives for Florida's 22nd congressional district. In November 2011, Michael Prysner was arrested in Occupy Los Angeles. He was released after posting bail. On September 19, 2021, Michael Prysner interrupted a George W. Bush speech in Beverly Hills, California. He demanded an apology for lying about weapons of mass destruction, connections to 9/11 and causing the deaths of a million Iraqis. He also stated "You sent me to Iraq" and "My friends are dead because you lied."

Veterans said the culture of this counterinsurgency war, in which most Iraqi civilians were assumed to be hostile, made it difficult for soldiers to sympathize with their victims--at least until they returned home and had a chance to reflect. "I guess while I was there, the general attitude was, A dead Iraqi is just another dead Iraqi," said Spc. Jeff Englehart, 26, of Grand Junction, Colorado. Many of these veterans returned home deeply disturbed by the disparity between the reality of the war and the way it is portrayed by the US government and American media. The war the vets described is a dark and even depraved enterprise, one that bears a powerful resemblance to other misguided and brutal colonial wars and occupations, from the French occupation of Algeria to the American war in Vietnam and the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory. A report released May 4 by the Pentagon. According to the survey, conducted by the Office of the Surgeon General of the US Army Medical Command, just 47 percent of soldiers and 38 percent of marines agreed that civilians should be treated with dignity and respect. Only 55 percent of soldiers and 40 percent of marines said they would report a unit member who had killed or injured "an innocent noncombatant." They rarely saw their enemy. They lived bottled up in heavily fortified compounds that often came under mortar attack. They only ventured outside their compounds ready for combat. The mounting frustration of fighting an elusive enemy and the devastating effect of roadside bombs, with their steady toll of American dead and wounded, led many troops to declare an open war on all Iraqis. Veterans described reckless firing once they left their compounds. Some shot holes into cans of gasoline being sold along the roadside and then tossed grenades into the pools of gas to set them ablaze. Others opened fire on children. These shootings often enraged Iraqi witnesses. In June 2003 Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejía's unit was pressed by a furious crowd in Ramadi. Sergeant Mejía, 31, a National Guardsman from Miami, served for six months beginning in April 2003 with the 1-124 Infantry Battalion, Fifty-Third Infantry Brigade. His squad opened fire on an Iraqi youth holding a grenade, riddling his body with bullets. Sergeant Mejía checked his clip afterward and calculated that he had personally fired eleven rounds into the young man.

#warzone #wintersoldier #money Tomas Young was an American military veteran of the Iraq War. In 2004, he was wounded and paralysed by a bullet to the spine five days after he reached Iraq. One of the first veterans to come out publicly against the war, Young actively protested against the war after he returned to the United States. When his physical condition worsened in 2013 due to various medical complications, Young chose to go into hospice care. He later reversed that decision and accepted medical treatment until he died in 2014.
