Yes. Socialist fascism in action.
”When people show you who they are, believe them.” So why isn’t this happening? Why is it Israel is expected to make all of the concessions when this is the mentality of the enemy nextdoor? Hamas are not interested in peace, just like they have no interest in the safety and welfare of the civilians, but how many times do they have to tell or demonstrate as much to the world?;
”Hamas leaders told the New York Times on Wednesday that they had no interest in governing Gaza and instead wanted to create a “permanent” state of war against Israel that, in their minds, would mobilize Arab support and keep the Palestinian cause alive.
The idea of governing Gaza well, or building institutions toward creating a Palestinian state, seems not to have occurred to them — nor did the Times‘ Ben Hubbard and Maria Abi-Habib, who had access to Hamas leaders, suggest that more constructive idea.

Mogs,
Both the leader of Hamas & Netanyahu are members of WEF….
The ongoing slaughter of innocents of whatever creed or nationality is being carried out to further the agenda of the parasite class, or Davos Deviants.
By taking a side the WEF has drawn you in to supporting their ongoing imposition of tyranny on the world.
The mass influx of migrants into Europe was done to purposely stoke the flames of fear & hatred, to change our culture, our societal values.
I don’t understand the complexities & nuances of the situation in Gaza, Israel but I do understand that the MSM (also WEF controlled) is playing us. DS is playing us.
To stand a modicum of a chance to resist this tyranny, we have to not engage with their agenda.
It’s hard as we’ve been propagandised, brainwashed & funnelled into believing what they want us to believe. Trying to not fall into the trap is ongoing for all the agenda fronts that we’re being played on.
BB
Hear hear, BB. Just about every other alternative and non-Western media site is offering broader, more considered analyses of this dreadful situation, as are numerous informed (but censored) commentators here in the West.
BB, it’s not as black and white as taking sides, though I know how it looks reading my posts regarding the conflict over there. I know that Netanyahu is a proper psycho, I don’t have selective amnesia. He blatantly showed how he couldn’t give a flying fig about the people of Israel and he made his views on just how much compassion he had for his people when he enrolled them all to be Pfizer’s lab rats, trampling all over their human rights and civil liberties with the introduction of the ‘Green Pass’, masks and other ‘Nazitastic’ restrictions and abuses. Freedom went out the window for that population, unless you played by the totalitarian rules like a schmuck, but once more we saw Jews ‘othered’, Jews betraying and ostracizing Jews/Israeli citizens. So believe me, I have not forgotten all of this. And, actually, most leaders are WEF affiliated aren’t they? Look at Brazil and Lula de Silva. He’s just made it mandatory for kids over there to get the death jab. Crazy!
As much as a I despise Netanyahu he’s also in charge of the country that has to rescue these couple hundred hostages and take out many terrorists in the process, so please don’t conflate my wanting psycho, murdering scumbags…peace-haters and violence/death-lovers..dead and Israel to just be left in alone to exist in peace, as is their right, with suddenly liking or supporting the corrupt, bent-as-a-nine-bob-note, globalist, hateful megalomaniac that is unfortunately still in power over there. However, as is the dilemma with most countries right now, even when he does go who will replace him and will the Israelis be any better off for it?
I was pointing out that the actors behind the headline actors are the same thing – the WEF. Your posts are about one side of the situation, hence why I posted.
As I stated in my post – none of us here can possibly understand the nuances as these aren’t reported & the situation is far from the black & white that the MSM portray it as.
I’ve repeatedly said that all of the actions which target innocent civilians of whatever race, religion, creed or colour are deplorable irrespective of who commits them.
None of your reasons for posting about Israel actions validate breaches of the Geneva Convention. Anna de Buisseret has confirmed this to me personally.
A war crime is a war crime & if one is committed when rescuing folk from terrorists it is still a war crime irrespective of the intention behind it.
That is my position – we should be calling out the bad actions of whomever, not siding more with one war criminal than another.
As to who will replace the WEF controlled political scumbags? Who knows.
The fact remains that the Geneva Convention is being flagrantly ignored by a nation state which has signed it as well as by a bunch of terrorists & being a nation state doesn’t give them any more permission to commit war crimes than does being a bunch of terrorists fighting oppression give them permission to commit war crimes either.
Arguing about this gives energy to the situation. We need to direct our energies towards building alternatives to the corrupted institutions which will give folk an option of whether to stay with the corrupt or to move towards the new systems.
The parasite class want us divided, fighting, arguing. Trapped in their controlled agenda.
That is what I would like us to break free from. Not to pander to their agenda.
We didn’t when it was covid, why are we doing so now??
Agree with what you say. Of course we must mourn the dreadful things that are happening but we must stay strong and keep our focus on the evil behaviour of those in power. They are happy when we are distracted.
Another reminder that anybody banging on about specific numbers of deaths of Palestinian civilians since the latest conflict began is literally parroting Hamas propaganda. You have no reliable source for those figures, and the U.N definitely does not qualify as a ”reliable source”;
”Teachers at Palestinian schools run by the UN agency responsible for Palestinian refugees celebrated Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre against Israel and are part of a “national strategy to commit acts of terror,” the head of a watchdog group told The Algemeiner following the release of the group’s new bombshell report on the matter.
At least 14 teachers at schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) publicly celebrated the Hamas atrocities on their social media accounts, with one calling the morning of Oct. 7 an “unforgettable glorious morning,” a report released on Monday by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) found.
The report also identified at least 100 Hamas terrorists who are graduates of UNRWA’s educating system. It highlighted Amer Yaser Nazmi Sada, whose diploma was found in the vehicle of one of the terrorists who participated in the Oct. 7 slaughter of Israeli families. The diploma, granted to Sada in 2018 upon his graduation, was signed by the chief of UNRWA’s vocational program in Gaza, Farid Ajmi’an Abu Adhira.
According to Sheff, it is “statistically more than likely that well over 1,500” of the 3,000 terrorists who infiltrated Israel on Oct. 7 were graduates of UNRWA schools, which comprise the majority of schools in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
“The school curriculum taught by UNRWA and written by the Palestinian Authority is the strategic and ideological basis for the acts of horror that we saw on Oct. 7,” he said, adding that UNRWA teachers also supplement the curriculum with their own hate-filled material.”

‘We do need to protect freedom of expression, but these aggressive protests aren’t civilised dissent, argues David Frost in the Telegraph.’
Lord Frost gets it spot on again.
I am all in favour of pro Palestinian marches going ahead, so that the nation can see these protesters for what they are.
But Lord Frost is undoubtedly correct in calling for more restrictions, via debate in parliament, to prevent such marches taking place on Remembrance Day.
As I have commented more than once these last few days the people who protest over Armistice weekend, and those who allow such protests to go ahead have no rights to remain in this country. By their actions they clearly show they have no allegiance to Great Britain or its people and furthermore have no intention or desire to integrate.
To protest over Armistice weekend is just about the greatest insult that any immigrant can level at this country and its people. The immigrants came here because they sought to indulge in the freedoms that our fallen heroes fought for but now they have their feet under the table they believe they have the right to defile a nationally sacred weekend of remembrance and mourning. Not on. They do not belong here and must leave – one way or the other.
For those facilitating the demonstration – Fishy and the rest of his Klaus little helpers, spineless Rowley and the sick, evil Khant their rightful fate is a treason trial and the consequences that will follow the guilty verdict. And while we are at it we will add Chuckles to the list.
Fantasy perhaps but that sums up my anger.
I agree. It’s just taking the piss. Also, are these demos just going to be an ongoing, continuous event for the foreseeable? It’s not like they aren’t going on during the week too, as I saw Liverpool Street Station was packed out with pro-Hamas nutters the other day. There’ll be many more here there and everywhere I expect. Funny how we’re not seeming to hear much about the eco loons or Transtifa screaming banshees these last few weeks. It’s almost like these extremist loonies just change hats as they jump from cause to cause, this conflict qualifying as ‘The Latest Thing’ to jump onboard and hit the streets to screech about, only this one is seeing more actual violence erupt as a result. ”Useful idiots” perfectly sums it up, as far as I’m concerned. This time round there’s more Islamists than you can shake a stick at present though, so that’d explain the increased violence.
Of course it is extracting the Michael.
However, to prevent that, on Armistice Day, which I agree with, requires, in a democracy, parliamentary debate and legislation.
That is precisely what those who gave their lives for their country (as did my Great Uncle (RFC) in 1916) were fighting for…..freedom under the law…..
UKRAINE WAR, WHERE ARE YOU?!
I haven’t seen too much Ukraine flag waving from Ian Rons lately.
Is it time for him to post an apology for being so wrong about that war, or, like a covidian, will he pretend that he was against this war and knew that Russia was unlikely to lose?
He’s going to have to explain these though:
No, Ukraine Isn’t Losing and Stalemate Isn’t Inevitable Feb
“My money’s still very much on Ukraine and its indomitable people, and on President Zelenskyy and General Zaluzhnyi. Слава Україні!”
If Putin Loses the War in Ukraine, Will the Russian Federation Break Up?
“Over the past year, Russia’s military failures in Ukraine have prompted much debate about the possible collapse and break-up of the Russian Federation into a number of de facto statelets, and the potential dangers – or opportunities – that could present. “
Was it worth half a million Ukrainian lives to cheerlead the War and encourage imbeciles like BoJo into refusing to make peace?
How does it feel to be psyoped by the MIC and the globalist vultures?
IAN RONS WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
oh there was this gem from May
The Only Way to Bring Peace to Ukraine is to Defeat PutinBY IAN RONS 24 MAY 2023 5:00 PM
”But war is about winning and losing – existentially, for Ukraine. There are no “participation trophies”. And it is always, fundamentally, about achieving an eventual peace – with the winner getting to set the terms. It is both deeply naïve and otiose to talk about “peace” in the abstract without reference to “facts on the ground”. One way to bring about an immediate peace (or at least the cessation of violence, prior to an eventual treaty) would be for the aggressor to withdraw, but it seems Calvin is suggesting something different – that Ukraine should be prepared to cede territory to the aggressor, without considering the consequences for the people of Ukraine and those left in the occupied territories (the rapes, torture, murder, deportations and “re-education”), much less the consequences for the rest of the world in enabling an aggressor in this way. “Peace” is not synonymous with “occupation”, and a real, enduring peace cannot be achieved through appeasement.”
Worked out well huh?
Sunday is usually the day for Ian Rons’ interventions. Given the extremely intemperate allegation about myself one week during the summer, I came to the conclusion that maybe he was “relaxing” a bit too much in the afternoon sunshine to maintain civil discourse.
Why not do a bit of research to avoid making a fool of yourself?
‘Ukrainian forces have, with Western support, defeated Russian objectives repeatedly: in Kyiv, in Kharkiv, in Kharkiv Oblast, in Kherson, and now, to a growing extent, in Ukraine’s south. Ukraine has prevented Russian forces from establishing air dominance and is eroding Russian naval superiority and increasingly making the Russian military’s presence less tenable in Crimea — realities that were previously unthinkable to many.’
‘Ukraine’s decision to keep pressure on Russian forces throughout the entire frontline instead of focusing all of Ukraine’s combat power on one line of attack in the direction of Melitopol, which some Western advisors preferred, was a good adaptation. Ukraine’s decision to hold and conduct counterattacks in Bakhmut allowed it to pin down a substantial portion of the combat power of Russia’s relatively elite airborne (VDV) forces and deny the creation of a strategic Russian reserve.’
‘Russian milbloggers claimed on November 9 that Ukrainian forces established control over new positions in Krynky (30km northeast of Kherson City and 2km from the Dnipro River) and conducted assaults towards Russian positions south and southwest of the settlement.’
‘A Russian milblogger claimed that there are reports that Ukrainian forces advanced to forest areas south of Krynky. Russian milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces also attacked near Poyma (12km east of Kherson City and 4km from the Dnipro River), Pishchanivka (13km east of Kherson City and 3km from the Dnipro River), and Pidstepne (17km east of Kherson City and 4km from the Dnipro River) and are trying to establish positions between Pidstepne and Kozachi Laheri (23km northeast of Kherson City and 2km from the Dnipro River).’
ISW
A negotiated peace is impossible since neither side has any confidence in the integrity of the other.
The reality is, therefore, that any consequent faux ‘negotiated settlement’ will simply result in renewed war larger in scale and even more dangerous to Ukraine and the West.
It will be extremely costly as well since a renewed war once Moscow has rearmed and prepared will likely be far costlier and more dangerous. Demands to reduce the financial burden of supporting Ukraine now simply store up greater risk and expense for the future.
Rather, the U.S. has clearly stated its strategy: ‘“we want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”
How is that working out?
‘Russia’s decline is irreversible……..46 percent of the 167 persons who participated (including 49 percent of Europeans) expected Russia to become a failed state in the next ten years. Forty percent expected Russia to break up internally for reasons including but not limited to revolution, civil war, or political disintegration.’
Consequences of the War in Ukraine: A Bleak Outlook for Russia
This is a long game, and the longer it goes on, the worse the consequences for Russia……..and Russia does not have it within its power to make it stop…….
Oh if it isn’t Ian Rons’ biggest fanboy.
Sure War is costly. But if you think Russia has lost is losing by this fat quote of yours you continue to imbibe the cool aid.
Just own up and admit this war should have ended in a peace deal back in May 22’. In that deal Ukraine may have been able to gain back the Donbas and Lugansk regions. Now they will have zilch but a grotesque head count to show for this NATO/MIC war.
You were wrong, just admit it and be a man.
Another fact free blast of hot air
As I have explained, no long term peace deal is possible since both sides distrust each other equally…..and any peace deal only works for Russia.
Meanwhile the U.S. strategy is working well.
As I say, why not do some research…….otherwise spare us the silly little schoolyard infantilisms…
‘A Ukrainian strike on occupied Skadovsk in the Kherson region reportedly hit a base for the FSB, Russia’s federal spy service. Reuters reported that five people were killed in the attack on Thursday. Various reports said high-ranking Russian officers were killed.’
Oops….
David Martin is excellent. His Epoch Times video, censored by YouTube, invites the question “Why was it censored?” Aren´t arguments against it not strong enough to refute it?
“One man´s word is no man´s word.
Justice needs that both be heard.”
I seem to recall the Met police not being too understanding about anti-lockdown/vax demonstrators, with their aggressive treatment of the protestors (kettling, horses, pinning old people to the ground).and copious arrests.
“anti-lockdown/vax demonstrators”
No, no, no you haven’t realised, these were dangerous and violent right-wing fascists. Completely different to the religion of peace protesters who simply wish to protect their foreign way of life from the infidels.
