Hamas has released three Israeli hostages Saturday, backing down from an earlier warning it would pull out of the Gaza truce over repeated Israeli violations of their ceasefire deal.

Israelis Iair Horn, Sagui Dekel-Chen and Sasha (Alexander) Troufanov arrived at a release site in Khan Younis after Egyptian and Qatari mediators helped avert a standoff that threatened to sink the fragile ceasefire.

The first bus carrying freed Palestinian prisoners and detainees simultaneously departed Israeli jail Ofer in the West Bank, live footage showed.

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/541487/hamas-says-it-will-stop-releasing-hostages-accuses-israel-of-ceasefire-violations

Hamas had warned several times in the last week it would not release any hostages because it is convinced the Zionazis are determined to resume the genocide as soon as all hostages are free.

Israel and the US countered with threats to resume the genocide immediately if the hostages were not released.

The three Israelis are being exchanged for 369 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

In “Hostage Square” in Tel Aviv, people broke into cheers and tears when they heard the Red Cross was on its way to deliver the three to Israeli forces in Gaza.

Armed militants were deployed at the Khan Younis site, some carrying rifles seized from the Israeli military during the 7 October attack, Hamas sources said.

Israelis have also been holding protests demanding the government stick to the ceasefire and to move to the next stage of the deal to bring all the hostages home.

Islamic Jihad, Troufanov’s erstwhile captors, released a video of him Friday, showing him eating and fishing on a Gaza beach.

Prospects for the ceasefire surviving have also been clouded by US President Donald Trump's call for Palestinians to be moved permanently out of Gaza, and for the enclave to be taken over by the United States to be turned into a holiday resort. That call was strongly rejected by Palestinian groups, Arab states and Western allies.






Muhammad Amin

Israel is grimly holding onto five sites in southern Lebanon, refusing to leave and trying to persuade the US to allow them to stay at least another month, while Lebanon still expects them gone by next Tuesday.

If the Zionazis succeed, it will be the second exit “deadline” they have missed after they took a month’s extension in January.

Underlining their intent to hold onto more stolen land, the Zionazis Friday blew up houses in the border town of Yaroun where it sent a mechanised patrol with trucks and bulldozers. They also destroyed with explosives infrastructure in the area between Mays al-Jabal and Blida while its drones kept up flights over Sur (Tyre).

Israel says it wants to stay at the fives sites beyond the withdrawal deadline, but is facing stiff opposition from Beirut that wants them gone by February 18.

US Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, chair of the US-led cease-fire committee in Lebanon, said on Friday he was confident that Lebanon’s military would control “all population centers” once the deadline passes.

However, the New York Times noted that his wording was vague and allowed for the possibility that Israel is preparing for a long-term occupation.

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/lebanese-speaker-rejects-israeli-plan-to-remain-in-southern-lebanon-after-withdrawal-deadline/3481580

The speaker of Lebanon’s Parliament, Nabih Berri, said Thursday US officials told him Israel intends to remain in the five undisclosed sites. Berri said Beirut firmly rejected the plan, insisting Israeli troops must completely withdraw from the country by next week's deadline.

“I told them, on behalf of myself, President Joseph Aoun, and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, that we categorically reject this,” he stressed.

The Lebanese speaker said that he refused to discuss any extension of the deadline for the Israeli troop withdrawal. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/lebanese-speaker-rejects-israeli-plan-to-remain-in-southern-lebanon-after-withdrawal-deadline/3481580

“It is the responsibility of the Americans to enforce this; otherwise, they will have caused the greatest setback for the current Lebanese government," he warned.

"If the (Israeli) occupation remains, the days will be between us, and this is the responsibility of the Lebanese state. The army is fully carrying out its duties south of the Litani River."

2 rescued after military plane crashes into San Diego Bay

The EA-18G Growler is the "first line of defense in hostile environments" with several sensors and weapons to combat threats, according to the U.S. Navy

By Christina Bravo February 12, 2025

A charter fishing boat with H & M Landing was the first on the scene and pulled the service members out of the water, reports NBC 7’s Dana Williams.

A military fighter jet with two service members on board crashed into the San Diego Bay near Shelter Island Wednesday, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue.

Rescue crews responded around 10:15 a.m. to reports that a military plane with two service members on board crashed into the water, the SDFD said.

The U.S. Navy confirmed the plane involved was a U.S. Navy EA-18 Growler — a variant of the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet — assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 135, based at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington.

A charter fishing boat with H & M Landing was the first on the scene and pulled the service members out of the water. General Manager Frank Ursitti said the captain of the Premier saw the aviators eject from the military plane and immediately turned around to help.

"As all of our crews are trained in lifesaving efforts, we immediately turned around, picked up both pilots that were in the water," Ursitti said. "And as they were boarding the pilots, [the captain] observed the plane actually ditch into San Diego Bay."

Ursitti said the plane crash happened minutes after the aviators ejected.

NBC 7 Reporter Kelvin Henry has details on where the investigation stands after two Navy service members ejected safely. Both were conscious when they were pulled out of the water, Ursitti said. They were transferred to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection boat and taken to the dock where they were transported to UC San Diego Medical Center, the SDFD said.

The extent of their injuries was not disclosed but the military said their condition was stable.

An EA-18G Growler was also involved in a deadly crash during a training flight near Mount Rainier, Washington in October 2024. The service members were with the Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130.

The EA-18G Growler is "the Navy’s first line of defense in hostile environments" with several sensors and weapons to combat threats, according to VAQ-135.

Naval Base Coronado established an emergency operations center as they investigate the cause of the crash.

At 6 p.m. on the evening of the crash, Navy officials provided an update, saying that both aviators were in good condition but would be monitored for 24 hours out of an abundance of caution.

The Navy also said they had located the underwater crash site and that Harbor Security boats were on-site and crews were working to minimize any environmental impact from the downed aircraft.

"The public is reminded to not approach, touch or collect any debris that may wash ashore," the Navy news release said. "Anyone who encounters suspected aircraft debris should report it to local authorities or call Naval Base Coronado."

While military officials did not provide a cause for the crash, they did say that the investigation was ongoing and that updates would be provided as events warranted.

Photos captured the military jet that crashed into San Diego Bay on Feb. 12, 2025.

Retired military pilots weighed in on the crash.

Many questions remain about what exactly happened.

Ron Alvarado, a retired Marine Corps pilot, shared his perspective with NBC 7:

"Looking at the crash spot where the aircraft went down, it was over the bay, close to Point Loma. And that could have indicated that the aircraft could have been in a turn and it continued to fly because the aircraft does have a flight control system," Alvarado said. "It could have flown until it lost lift or the inputs that the pilot last put into the controls had it going into the left turn, whereupon it actually crashed into the bay."

He also said it's possible the pilots entered inputs to steer the jet away from land to keep it away from damaging structures.

Jim Kidrick, CEO of the San Diego Air and Space Museum, is a retired Navy commander and a fighter pilot for 21 years:

"First question is, was that air crew trained to do that mission that day? Because that really has a lot to do with skill sets, the performance of the air crew," Kidrick said. "We're going to look at everything because our primary goal is to not have this happen ... This had really a pretty good ending. The ending is both of them are alive, and most likely they'll live to fly another day."

This is a developing story. Details may change as information is released.

Rafah Municipality calls for urgent international intervention to stop the occupation's violations of the agreement

Rafah - Ma'an - The Rafah Municipality expressed its deep dissatisfaction with the city's residents not benefiting from the humanitarian aid and shelter supplies that were supposed to be provided under the ceasefire agreement, which was intended to facilitate the arrival of aid, tents and equipment needed to rehabilitate the city, including opening streets, removing the rubble and other effects of the attacks on Rafah.

The mayor of Rafah, Dr. Ahmed Al-Sufi, stressed that the obstacles placed by the Israeli occupation forces prevent the arrival of this aid, which increases the suffering of citizens and delays reconstruction efforts.

Al-Sufi pointed out that the city is still suffering from continuous violations of the ceasefire by the occupation, which resulted in the martyrdom of more than 30 people and the injury of dozens since the beginning of the agreement.

He added that 60% of the city is still under the control of the occupation and that many homes are being destroyed, while shooting continues towards areas classified as safe, threatening the lives of civilians and hindering relief and reconstruction efforts.

The Rafah Municipality called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop these violations, and to pressure the Israeli occupation to lift the siege and allow the entry of humanitarian aid, which will enable the municipality to carry out its tasks in serving citizens and rebuilding the city.

Al-Sufi said: “We are perturbed by our inability to supply the necessary equipment, machinery and aid to shelter the residents and maintain the infrastructure, and we call on the international community to assume its responsibilities and pressure Israel to stop these violations and enable us to rebuild our city and provide basic services to the citizens.”

“The Strangest Land Deal in History:

•The owner is Palestinian.

•The seller is American.

•The buyer is Jewish.

•And the one paying the price is Arab.

#DealOfTheCentury”

2:18 AM · Feb 12, 2025


Jordan has threatened to go to war with Israel if US president Donald Trump goes ahead with his plan to ethnically cleanse Palestine of Palestinians a few million Palestinians, but that doesn’t seem to bother him or his genocide sidekick, Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli fuhrer is brushing aside previous Saudi pronouncements that any normalisation deal with the Nazi state is dependent on the establishment of a viable Palestinian state beforehand.

“The Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia; they have a lot of land over there,” the Israeli premier told Israel's Channel 14 after his chummy White House visit this week. https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-841082

Not-so-friendly fire

When asked if the Saudis would agree to such a deal when they’re, in public at least, insisting on a Palestinian state, Netanyahu fired back that he “would not make an agreement that would endanger the State of Israel.

“Especially not a Palestinian state. After 7 October? Do you know what that is? There was a Palestinian state, it was called Gaza. Gaza, led by Hamas, was a Palestinian state, and look what we got – the biggest massacre since the Holocaust,” the premier said.

That’s despite his former defence minister Yoav Gallant revealing this week Israeli soldiers had deliberately killed hundreds of Israeli civilians that day to prevent them falling into the hands of Palestinians.

During an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 on 7 February, Gallant admitted to ordering the controversial protocol that involves killing captives along with their captors. https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/army-was-ordered-kill-israelis-7-october-defense-minister-confirms

Trump has cast a wider eye for a new refugee camp for Palestinians, suggesting Morocco, or the breakaway Somali “states” of Puntland and Somaliland, as possible new destinations. Either of the latter two choices would also conveniently parachute the Palestinians into the middle of two, or even three, (CIA-instigated) civil wars while also sticking the knife into Al-Shabbab.

Morocco has reportedly been promised sovereignty over Western Sahara if it agrees to the deal.

Smudging the red lines

During a post-meeting press conference with Netanyahu this week, Trump claimed Saudi Arabia is not demanding the creation of a viable Palestinian state as a precondition to “normalization”.

The Saudis immediately fired back that their commitment to Palestinian statehood was “firm and unwavering”, adding Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman would continue his “relentless efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that”.

Jordanian ruler, King Abdullah, is due in the White House next Tuesday and is expected to tell Trump any attempt to force West Bank Palestinians into Jordan will result in all-out war. Many analysts say a tide of Palestinians being forced across the border into Jordan will almost certainly bring down his Hashemite monarchy.

Even being related to Nabie Karrim salAllahu alayi wasallm will not save his Jordanian throne that Abdullah’s family had enjoyed as reward for colluding with the British against the Turks during World War I.

It would be an ignominious end. Hashemites ruled Mecca from the 10th century CE until the British installed the house of Saud in Arabia after 1918.

Royal Shia roots

Abdullah’s family has watched their “kingdom” shrink irreversibly ever since, losing their post-WWI thrones in Mecca and the Hejaz, in Syria and Iraq. Their eponymous ancestor is traditionally considered to be Hashin ibn Abd Manaf, the great-grandfather of Nabie Karim salAllahu alayi wasallm.

They were Shii until the Turks took over Arabia, when they became followers of the Shafi adhab.

An end to the Hashemites in Jordan would be a very sorry-but-predictable ending to a state that had a very sorry and treacherous beginning.

Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has the military wherewithal to resist an Israeli attempt to force Gazans into the Sinai, but the Americans could probably swing a deal to change his mind as he nervously eyes the disintegration of Sudan and Somalia in the south and Ethiopia’s potential chokehold on the Nile with its Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

Two days after Trump’s White House bromance with Netanyahu, the Israeli military was ordered to prepare plans for the transfer of large numbers of Palestinians out of Gaza via land, air and sea.

Seventy nine nations lined up to condemn the call, saying it threatened “the international rule of law”, but Israel fired back, saying Ireland and Spain – the biggest EU critics of its Gaza genocide – should take in Palestinians if they care so much.

Rebuilding Gaza is the priority

The Cradle reports Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares spurned the suggestion of Israeli war chief Israel Katz that Madrid should accept Palestinians forcibly displaced from Gaza. https://thecradle.co/articles/spain-ireland-fire-back-at-israels-suggestion-they-should-take-in-palestinians-forced-out-of-gaza

“First of all … no one should even be debating about where Palestinian Gazans should go, because that debate is closed. The land of Palestinian Gazans is Gaza. Gaza should be part of the future Palestinian state, just as Spain and the majority of the planet’s nations recognize,” Albares said in an interview with broadcaster RNE.

“What we are doing is introducing our humanitarian aid as much as possible to help the people after more than 45,000 innocent people fell victim to indiscriminate bombings,” Albares added. The world needed to help rebuild Gaza as a “first step” to getting the state of Palestine “on its feet.”

Ireland's Foreign Ministry also criticized Katz's comments, calling them "unhelpful and a source of distraction.”

“The objective must be a massive scale-up of aid into Gaza, return of basic services, and a clear framework under which those displaced can return,” the ministry said. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cvg4zwwez9et?page=3


He’s never even tasted a second of Hell during his pampered, billionaire life, but that’s not stopping serial real estate developer Donald Trump from threatening the same on Gazans if Hamas remains out of the Gaza truce.

Hamas announced Monday it was postponing the deal due to repeated Israeli violations. It said the captive exchange set for February 15 is on ice until further notice.

Trump is incensed and is threatening “all hell is going to break out” if the Israeli captives are not released on schedule this coming Saturday.

Dark, empty threats

Asked what that meant, Trump replied: “You’ll find out, and they’ll find out – Hamas will find out what I mean.”

His golden promises are turning to excrement in his hands and he’s not even three weeks into the job – his famous “normalization” deal is dead in the water; his promise to “get the job done” is starting to look like a marathon, not a sprint; and now he’s threatening to upend the very peace deal the Israeli’s gave him as an election “present” because he knows that’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s intention any way.

And he knows allowing the Israeli fuhrer to upend the Gaza apple cart – again – effectively means Netanyahu is still, effectively, in control of US foreign policy. Allowing that to continue means he’s handcuffed, a prisoner, to Netanyahu’s whims.

Now it seems he’s decided to take over killing the Palestinians himself instead of leaving it in Bib’s hands, but he’ll find such a deal a hard sell, even to Americans.

People are likening him to “Jesus” and he likes that Messianic fervour; there’s no way he can allow Netanyahu to prick that bubble like he did Biden’s for the duration of the genocide.

The mainstream media is avoiding outlining the Israeli ceasefire violations, creating doubt about the elected Palestinians government’s statement.

https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/palestinian-resistance-leader-details--israel-s--violations

Truce violations piling up

But Hamas included them in its withdrawal statement and they are:

• Delays in the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza;

• Targeting Palestinians with airstrikes and gunfire—resulting in the killing of tens across the Strip; and

• Obstructing the entry of essential shelter materials such as tents, prefabricated homes, fuel, and rubble removal equipment needed to retrieve bodies.

An unidentified Hamas leader outlined other violations to Al-Mayadeen Tuesday. They include the continued, daily presence of reconnaissance drones over Gaza, Israeli stormtroopers continue firing without provocation on civilians, tanks have trespassed beyond their permitted red lines, and the Zionazis continue hindering the entrance of desperately needed heavy equipment to move rubble and medical supplies to the enclave.

Reading the messages on the wind, Hamas says it is clear the Israelis have no intention of honouring the next stages of the ceasefire and are preparing to attack again as soon as the last hostages are handed over.

Hence, its refusal to do so this coming Saturday.

Hamas and the Israeli public know the hostage issue is hurting Netanyahu the most at home. That’s why the settlers are rampaging through the West Bank with Trump’s blessing, why Netanyahu knows his unpopularity won’t die down, why Bibi remains chained to right-wing fanatics accompanying him on his road to perdition.

Ace up Hamas’ sleeve

The hostages are the one remaining ace up Hamas’s sleeve and it’s not going to hand it over for free.

So, Agent Orange is throwing his toys out of the cot because everything he’s touching in the Arabia is turning to dust in his hands. And the faster he talks, the faster it blows away.

He’s lost his golden touch. Hell, even his hair has lost its lustre and is now the same dead-white as Biden’s.

The Arabs aren’t the same like last time. He could call up MBS and order him to restrict the oil pumps to push up the price of petrol. Hey presto! Trump got what he wanted. “Gimme some normalization, man!” And there’s the Arabs lining up to shake the hand.

“Sh!th0le countries” didn’t throw out the marines and shut down bases, like they’re doing in West Africa, last time he was POTUS.

Now, even Al-Sisi of Egypt won’t sign up to his Gaza relocation deal. “King” Hussein of Jordan is threatening to declare war if the Zionazis in Tel Aviv and the White House expel West Bank residents across the border.

Trump claimed last Tuesday the Saudis were no longer insisting on a Palestine state as a precondition to “normalization”. It didn’t take long for his erstwhile allies to shoot down that statement, revealing Trump as isolated and exposed on the world stage.

UAE dark horse

That’s a feeling he’ll have to get used to if he’s going to keep Netanyahu as his chief Arabian ally.

But he still has one dark horse to fall back on: Mohamed bin Zayed al Nahyan, the boss of a few corporate states - ringfenced oil fields, really – known as the UAE.

Al Nahyan has been a stand-out enforcer of the US’s “war on terror” and will probably emerge as Trump’s nascent ally in the region. The UAE is now a “favoured defence ally” of the US; an appellation only one other country, India, has achieved.

That’s thanks to a bloodthirsty commitment to carrying out “wet ops” that venture far beyond the bounds of international legality on behalf of the US.

So, the UAE was instrumental in the formation and funding of ISIS in Iraq, Syria and beyond, it is enforcing the rule of warlord Khalifa Haftar in Eastern Libya and is behind the murderous rebellion of the SRF in Sudan.

And the UAE is already preparing for an enforcement role in Gaza to protect Israel. https://www.newarab.com/news/uae-take-responsibility-post-war-gaza-protect-israel

Tripping up on ‘normalization’

It agreed in principle two weeks ago to take up “responsibility” for Gaza’s post-war management, overseeing reconstruction and “neutralising any potential threats” to Israel.

But, it also stressed that Abu Dhabi would not "not participate in any plan that fails to include significant reform of the Palestinian Authority, its empowerment, and the establishment of a credible roadmap toward a Palestinian state".

There’s that “Palestinian state” precondition again, taking Trump back to isolated and exposed Square One; he’s not even out of the starting block and even the block is starting to crumble in his hands.

Agent Orange will have to conjure up a plan soon, because Gaza won’t just go away, like he’s hoping.




















Donald Trump has a dirty secret he’s not telling anyone as he bloviates about “getting the job done” in Gaza – his “normalization-deal-of-the-century” is dead in the water.

It is clear, but not admitted. “The Don” probably needs some time to come up with a “deal of the millennium” to distract pitchfork brigades of Republican supporters from noticing the failure sticking to him.

So, as Trump dons his Quixotic armour before sallying forth as the latest Crusader leader determined to conquer Gaza, his Sancho Panza sidekick Benjamin Netanyahu is playing a distraction game, much like the clowns do in a circus between acts, to distract the crowd from noticing nothing’s going on as they rearrange the scenery.

The fuhrer let the dead cat out of the normalization bag on Thursday, infuriating his erstwhile normalisation allies by sneering: “The Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia; they have a lot of land over there.”

His Wehrmacht minister Israel Katz followed that up by suggesting Ireland and Spain take in the Palestinians, if they loved them that much.

Clearly, there’s going to be no “pathway to statehood” for Palestine if Bibi and his cohorts continue getting their way.

Hence, normalization is dead.

And Trump has nothing. Nada, niente, zilch.

He’s firing off half sentences and non sequiturs in typical, incomprehensible Trump style, yammering on about “the US taking over Gaza”, as though the mood music on his car stereo is going to distract the world from asking “and what then?”

So far, Washington watchers say there’s no moves afoot to even start the preparatory paperwork to get precious US boots on the blood-soaked ground. Again, this may be “just Trump” blathering on and doing a mean Sitting Bull-before-Enos impression.

Perhaps, he’s just upset that he’s had to join Genocide Joe Biden in secretly wearing adult diapers and he’s worried his Sleepy Joe jibes are going to precipitate senility as well as incontinence before the end of his term.

Such are the things that move history nowadays.

It may be Trump has been reading Markaz Sahaba and now realises Netanyahu’s greatest strength and his secret to his political longevity is his death grip on the Gaza tiller. As long as he can rain down death and fury whenever he likes, Netanyahu can upset even great America’s apple pie cart.

Time and again, he humiliated Biden, reneging on the US president’s “red lines” and other assurances made with all the gravitas the White House has at its disposal to swing on the global stage.

Trump doesn’t want to end up on his face in the mud like Biden did on countless occasions as Netanyahu committed atrocity after atrocity with Biden cratering credibility with every public pronouncement.

The Don can’t let that happen, either publicly or when alone at home in the bathroom at night.

The fact is: AS LONG AS BIBI IS IN CHARGE IN GAZA, HE IS IN CHARGE OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY.

And Trump will never allow that to continue.

QED.

Ergo, Bibi is really Trump’s Number 1 enemy.

Watch this space; it’s going to get, as the Chinese say, interesting.

Sister Yvonne Ridley

POP CULTURE IN THE NAME OF ISLAM

I feel very uncomfortable about the pop culture which is growing around some so-called Nasheed artists.

Of course, I use the term 'Nasheed artists' very lightly.

Islamic 'boy bands' and Muslim 'popsters' would probably be more appropriate.

Eminent scholars throughout history have often opined that music is haram, and I don't recall reading anything about the Sahaba whooping it up to the sound of music.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for people letting off steam, but in a dignified manner and one which is appropriate to their surroundings.

The reason I am expressing concern is that, just a few days ago [15 June, 2019] at a venue in Central London, sisters went wild in the aisles as some form of pop-mania swept through the concert venue. And I'm not just talking about silly, little girls who don't know any better; I am talking about sisters in their 20's, 30's and 40's, who squealed, shouted, swayed and danced.

Even the security guys, who looked more like pipe cleaners than bulldozers, were left looking dazed and confused as they tried to stop hijabi sisters from standing on their chairs.

Of course, the stage groupies did not help at all as they waved and encouraged the largely female Muslim crowd to "get up and sing along." (They're called 'Fluffers' in lap-dancing circles!)

The source of all this adulation was British-born Sami Yusuf, who is so proud of his claret-coloured passport that he wants us all to wave the Union Jacks [flag of England].

I'm amazed he didn't encourage his fans to sing "Land of Hope and Glory."

Brother Sami asked his audience to cheer if they were proud to be British and, when they responded loudly, he said he couldn't hear them and asked them to cheer again.

How can anyone be proud to be British? Britain is the third most hated country in the world. The Union Jack is drenched in the blood of our brothers and sisters across Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. Our history is steeped in the blood of colonialism, rooted in slavery, brutality, torture and oppression.

And we haven't had a decent game of soccer since we lifted the World Cup in 1966. Apparently Sami also said one of the selling points of Brand UK was having Muslims in the Metropolitan Police Force!

Astaghfirullah! Dude, these are the same cops who have a shoot-to-kill policy and would have gunned down a Muslim last year if they could tell the difference between a Bangladeshi and a Brazilian.

This is the same police force that has raided more than 3000 Muslim homes in Britain since 9/11.

What sort of life is there on Planet Sami, I wonder? If he is so proud to be British, why is he living in the great Middle Eastern democracy of Egypt? Apparently, the sort of hysteria Sami helped encourage is also in America and, if it is happening on both sides of the Atlantic, then it must be creeping around the globe and poisoning the masses.

Islamic boy bands like 786 and Mecca 2 Medina are also the subject of the sort of female adulation you expect to see on American Pop Idol or the X-Factor. Surely, Islamic events should be promoting restrained and more sedate behaviour.

Do we blame the out-of-control sisters? Or do we blame the organizers for allowing this sort of excessive behaviour which demeans Islam?

Or do we blame the artists themselves?

Abu Ali and Abu Abdul Malik, struggling for their Deen, would certainly not try to whip up this sort of hysteria. Neither would the anonymous heroic Nasheed artists who sing for freedom. Check out Idhrib Ya Asadul Fallujah, and you will know exactly what I mean.

Fallujah is now synonymous with the sort of heroic resistance that elevated the Palestinians of Jenin to the ranks of the resistance written about in the Paris Commune and the Siege of Leningrad.

The US military has banned the playing of any Nasheeds about Fallujah because of the power and the passion it evokes.

If those Nasheeds had sisters running in the streets whooping and dancing, however, the Nasheeds may be encouraged because of haram activity surrounding them.

Quite frankly,I really don't know how anyone in the Ummah can really let go and scream and shout with joy at pleasure domes when there is so much brutality and suffering going on in the world today.

The rivers of blood flow freely from the veins of our brothers and sisters from across the Muslim world.

Screaming and shouting the names of musical heroes drown out the screams coming from the dungeons of Uzbekistan where brothers and sisters are boiled alive in vats of water.

How many will jump up and down and wave their arms in the air, shouting wildly for justice for our kin in Kashmir, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Palestine and Iraq?

There are many more killing fields as well across the Asian and Arab world.

Will you climb on theatre chairs and express your rage over Guantanamo Bay and other gulags where our brothers and sisters are being tortured, raped, sodomized, beaten and burned?

Or will you just switch off this concerned sister and switch on to the likes of Sami Yusuf because he can sell you a pipe dream with his soothing words and melodic voice?

Oh, Muslims, wake up! The Ummah is not bleeding; it is haemorrhaging.

Listen not to what is haram. Listen to the pain of your global family.

Al-Mirsad reported, citing security sources, that most of the members of this criminal gang were arrested in special forces operations in Takhar province.

According to the source, this armed criminal gang was involved in kidnappings and murders, the latest of which were the martyrdom of a goldsmith, a money changer and the brother of a kidnapped child.

Al-Mirsad sources said that some hidden parties were behind this criminal gang and wanted to destabilize the security situation and raise concerns about development and economic projects by spreading fear.

The arrested individuals had intentions of further destructive acts, but their sinister intentions were thwarted by their arrest.

Another destructive act by Pakistan foiled and their conspiracy exposed!

Humayun

6 February 2025

This was a special forces operation in the north of the country that once again targeted ISIS militants supported by Pakistani intelligence and seized very sensitive information from them.

Al-Mirsad said, according to its sources, that special forces have carried out heavy operations against ISIS militants in the four northern provinces of Takhar, Kunduz, Baghlan and Samangan over the past three days and have arrested all their members.

According to the source, these ISIS militants are linked to the centers of Balochistan, which according to the strategy of Pakistani intelligence should carry out some incidents in the north and thus cause concern to the northern neighbors.

The arrested individuals also confessed that they were involved in deadly attacks inside mosques in Dasht-e-Qala district of Takhar and Nahrin district of Baghlan.

The north is the part of Afghanistan where the Islamic Emirate has launched a number of important infrastructure projects for the development of the country and also shares borders with the country’s northern neighbors.

It is generally believed that Pakistani intelligence wants to raise domestic and foreign concerns by sending ISIS fighters there.

This is not the first time that ISIS fighters trained in Balochistan centers have been targeted by vigilant Afghan special forces. A number of spies and internal guards have been eliminated or arrested in similar operations before.

The Security and Clearance Commission of the Islamic Emirate recently mentioned the training activities in the Mastung camp in Balochistan, where citizens of European and Asian countries are transferred from the Karachi port and Islamabad airport.

The commission has warned, referring to the activities at these camps, that there is a possibility that ISIS fighters will use these facilities to carry out dangerous attacks in a number of countries.

Pakistan’s Military Hopes to Drag Trump Back into War in Afghanistan

The failed backroom talks between the military and PTI have set the stage for the junta to reassert control and escalate into Afghanistan

7 February 2025

Pakistan’s military establishment is considering launching a large-scale military campaign against Islamic State-linked groups in neighboring Afghanistan—a dramatic move they hope would draw the U.S. back into the region as an ally and counterterrorism partner, according to sources who spoke to Drop Site News.

The remarkable plan to escalate regional conflict is going hand in hand with an effort by Asim Munir, Pakistan’s chief of army staff general, to settle his conflict with the military’s major political opposition, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, in order to shore up the domestic front and focus abroad. In recent meetings, the military has pushed PTI to accept a deal that would sideline its combative leader, the imprisoned former prime minister Imran Khan, in exchange for a political détente.

A deal that would normalize the PTI’s ties with the military in exchange for jettisoning Khan continues to be the subject of negotiations between the two sides. The paralyzing political crisis began with Khan’s removal from power by the military in 2022, amid private pressure from State Department diplomats.

The PTI has endured intense pressure as a result of its long-running standoff with the military, punctuated by last year’s flagrantly rigged election. Since then, the party has been barred from power and its members have faced imprisonment, torture, and killings at the hands of the current military-backed government.

The military now wants a deal to bring the standoff to a close, consolidating domestic support in advance of its planned escalation in Afghanistan, which sources who spoke to Drop Site said would likely include both major ground operations and airstrikes. For the PTI, the prospect of making a deal would help relieve pressure on the party and allow it to normalize its status in the country, but at the cost of acquiescing to the military’s domination of Pakistani politics and likely sacrificing Khan. Khan remains the primary draw for the party, which raises the question of what the PTI even is without him. ...

As a prerequisite to any offensive inside Afghanistan, Munir believes the army must first settle its domestic political conflict with the PTI. Without buy-in from Pakistan’s political parties, the military risks fighting on two fronts: a messy conflict abroad, and a legitimacy crisis at home. ...

Venezuela condemns US seizure of PDVSA aircraft as 'blatant theft'

7 February 2025

Venezuela has vowed to take all necessary measures to challenge the seizure and demand the immediate return of the aircraft.

Venezuela has strongly denounced the seizure of a state-owned aircraft by the United States, calling it an outright act of theft. The Dassault Falcon 2000EX, which was stationed in the Dominican Republic, was seized on Thursday under allegations of violating US sanctions and export control laws.

“Venezuela denounces before the world the blatant theft of an aircraft belonging to the Venezuelan nation, carried out by order of the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,” Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil declared.

Gil condemned Rubio’s actions, asserting that he “is nothing more than a criminal disguised as a politician, using his position to loot and strip the country of its assets.” ...

The seizure took place at La Isabela Airport in Santo Domingo, where Dominican authorities handed over the aircraft to Rubio. He justified the move by alleging that the plane was used to “evade U.S. sanctions and launder money.”

The Dassault Falcon 2000EX, acquired by PDVSA in 2017 from the US, had undergone multiple maintenance procedures using American-made parts—an act that Washington claims breaches its export control laws and sanctions.

This is the second Venezuelan aircraft seized by the US in five months. In September 2024, another Venezuelan plane, held in the Dominican Republic for maintenance, was seized and transferred to Florida, with US authorities alleging it had been illegally purchased for $13 million.

Last year in February, Maduro hit back at Argentinian President Javier Milei on February 16, 2024, three days after the United States fulfilled the seizure of a Venezuelan plane held in Buenos Aires since June 2022. ...

US authorities detained the Venezuelan cargo jet, claiming it formerly belonged to an Iranian airline purportedly associated with the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps. Caracas condemned the decision, stating that the planes were transferred to the US covertly.

Four Israelis arrested in Thailand for 'disgraceful conduct'

7 February 2025

Four Israelis were detained on charges of public disturbance, intimidation, harassment, and shameful conduct.

Thailand detained four Israeli tourists on Thursday and is slated to deport them to the occupied territories.

According to National Thailand, the Israelis threatened medical workers at a hospital in northern Thailand and were responsible for numerous "disruptive incidents" at Pai Hospital, including verbally abusing staff, damaging property and smoking in unauthorized areas, in addition to reckless driving.

They were exposed due to a post in a Facebook community dedicated to criticizing the exploitation of medical personnel, according to the site.

They were then detained on charges of public disturbance, intimidation, harassment and shameful conduct.

The four were subsequently turned over to the Thai Immigration Bureau, which withdrew their visas and began the deportation procedure back to "Israel", slapping each with a 3,000 Thai Baht fine, around $84.

On Friday, the UN human rights chief, Volker Turk, expressed deep concern over the worsening situation in eastern DRC, calling on all influential parties to intervene to stop the violence.

He warned that without action, the crisis could intensify and spill over to neighboring regions.

Turk made these remarks at an urgent session of the Geneva Human Rights Council, emphasizing, "All those with influence must act urgently to put an end to this tragic situation."

Meanwhile, the Rwandan Ambassador to the UN rejected accusations of Rwanda being responsible for the conflict in the DRC, adding that his country had evidence the Congo was planning a large attack against Rwanda.

This came during an emergency meeting called for by the DRC asking for investigations into violations of human rights perpetrated by the Rwandan-back M23 group, who seized the vital city of Goma and marched on more territory.

Israeli army ‘seriously doubts’ success of Trump’s plan to ethnically cleanse, control Gazza

Senior army officials say that Palestinians are not willing to leave, and other countries are not willing to take them in

FEB 7, 2025

The Israeli army has “serious doubts” about the feasibility of US President Donald Trump’s plan to take control of the Gazza Strip and facilitate a mass expulsion of its residents to other countries, Israeli media reported on 7 February.

According to Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the plan relies on two things that do not exist – the willingness of the people of Gazza to leave and countries’ willingness to take them in.

Senior army officials cited by the newspaper say they want a solution that avoids accusations of war crimes. They also say the biggest challenge is the lack of international support – especially since Hamas still controls Gazza and will likely not allow mass displacement.

Since 7 October 2023, around 30,000 Palestinians have left, mostly wealthy individuals who managed to escape early on, while 1,500 sick and wounded were allowed to leave with Israeli approval.

The Israeli army has considered funding emigration through Arab donors or US aid, but there is disagreement over whether many Palestinians would actually want to leave.

Some believe hundreds of thousands would depart the Strip, especially those suffering the most, while others think the plan will be seen as forced displacement and face widespread rejection.

In the past, Israel quietly facilitated the emigration of 60,000 Gazzans, but many struggled to settle abroad and eventually returned.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the military leadership on 7 February to reprimand Major General Shlomi Binder – head of Israel’s army intelligence – for highlighting potential issues in the Trump plan.

Hebrew news outlet Channel 13 reported that during an assessment, Binder said the plan could potentially result in an escalation and “enemy violence,” including in the occupied West Bank and ahead of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan. ...

Former Israeli intelligence chief Amos Yadlin told a radio station on 6 February that the success of Trump’s plan is not likely. ...

Both Hamas and Palestinians inside the Strip have expressed complete rejection of the plan.

Independent Syrian-British journalist Richard Medhurst (@richimedhurst) has been detained by Austrian authorities under accusations of being a Hamas member—a baseless and outlandish claim.

Medhurst, known for his critical reporting and independent voice, now faces over 10 years in prison based on these allegations.

Austrian intelligence raided his home and office, confiscating all his electronic devices, including those essential to his journalism.

This heavy-handed action raises serious concerns about press freedom and the use of counter-terrorism measures against legitimate journalistic activities.

This is not the first time Medhurst has faced such scrutiny. In August 2024, UK authorities arrested him at Heathrow Airport, holding him for 24 hours under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act.

Medhurst believes these actions, in both the UK and Austria, are a coordinated effort by intelligence agencies to silence his work and intimidate independent journalists covering the Israeli genocide in Gazza.

Winter storms bring flooding and 'thunder ice' in several US states

JOHN RABY

Fri, February 7, 2025

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Storms spawned at least one brief tornado, sent creeks over their banks and caused flash flooding Thursday in portions of West Virginia and Kentucky, while a wintry mix coated trees and roads in ice and even dropped “thunder ice” in several states.

Residents and storm spotters in portions of Indiana, southern Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania reported the unusual mix of freezing rain accompanied by flashes of lightning in the unstable air. ...

A long line of thunderstorms kept residents awake overnight with hours of heavy rains, flooding neighborhoods, triggering mudslides and rockslides, and causing accidents where water ponded on some interstate highways. Schools in numerous counties delayed classes or closed Thursday.

Multiple drivers had to be rescued after getting stranded in the floodwaters, authorities in West Virginia said. And the rescues weren’t limited to humans. The Kanawha-Charleston Humane Association asked the community to adopt or foster 15 dogs after a portion of its shelter began to get flooded. ...

In south-central Kentucky, the National Weather Service confirmed a short-lived EF1 tornado with winds of up to 95 mph (150 kph) tore apart some roofs and scattered debris in Hart County, about an hour south of Louisville. No injuries were immediately reported.

Late Thursday, severe storms with possible tornadoes moved through eastern Tennessee. The Tennessee Highway Patrol said on social media that troopers were in Morgan County ensuring resident safety and assessing and helping with structure damage.

The Morgan County School District said on its website that schools would be closed Friday because of “significant damage from tornadoes in parts of our county.” ...

Dozens of Los Angeles Fire Vehicles Were in the Maintenance Yard During the Wildfires

"The LAFD has not had the funding mechanism to supply enough mechanics and enough money for the parts to repair these engines, the trucks, the ambulances," said IAFF Local President Freddy Escobar.

Susan Nicol

Feb. 6, 2025

As firefighters scrambled to stop the Eaton and Palisades wildfires, dozens of rigs were out of service for a myriad of issues.

Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley blamed budget cuts for some of the fire department’s response issues and said that while the extra vehicles may not have stopped the fires they could have helped to save homes.

IAFF Local President Freddy Escobar told KTLA: “I don’t know exactly why each one is here, but I can tell you what has caused them to be here … The LAFD has not had the funding mechanism to supply enough mechanics and enough money for the parts to repair these engines, the trucks, the ambulances."

He added that not only would more equipment have been helpful in fighting the two massive wildfires but that there were actually firefighters who reported but couldn’t get a ride up to help in the firefight.

“We had more members report to assist during those fires than we had spots for them. So easily, if we would have had an engine … if we could stack it with the minimum … tools and equipment that you need to address a fire with the staffing, absolutely you could go in and make a difference,” he said.

On Thursday morning, Councilmember Traci Park, who was also at the maintenance yard Thursday, told the reporter: “As a resident, as a taxpayer and as the councilmember for the district that is now home to our city’s largest disaster in history. It is incredibly frustrating to see all of these assets sitting out of service."

Israel’s Worst Military Defeat in History!

⭕ - In a revelation not so shocking to the rest of the world, Israel’s new Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, has confirmed catastrophic military losses:

* 6,000 Israeli soldiers dead (Keep in mind, many hospitals have reported numbers exceeding 13,000)

* 71,000 total casualties; 15,000 severely wounded (and unfit for duty), many permanently disabled, and other varying degrees.

- Unprecedented damage to Merkava tanks & military infrastructure, raising questions about the effectiveness of the Merkava

* Israel requires a minimum of 10+ years to rebuild its military to pre-war levels.

⭕ - Zamir admits the army cannot fight at full capacity, hinting at a temporary halt in war efforts. Calls for military restructuring grow as Israel faces a political and economic meltdown.

✍ - There is much more to say, but we conclude with this. This is the greatest catastrophe to befall the Zionist project since its inception. The ironclad facade they built collapsed in their faces, destroying all in its path, exposing truth from falsehood.

* This defeat will echo through the ages, a defeat that will be personified through their nightmares, and swallow them in their waking hours.

Al-Shiraa, January 23, 2025

Mr. Donald Trump, Greetings:

... And God is my witness that I was praying for your victory, to the extent that my wife congratulated me on your win, saying: "Your friend has won!" Of course, I would have voted for you—not out of love for you, as my heart is not that blind—but because you are an openly malicious man. Whatever is in your heart is on your tongue. You are not a diplomat like the speckled viper, Hillary! I wanted you to win so that my people could see America’s ugly face through you.

I come from a people who, if Hillary were to say to them, "Go to hell, you lovely ones!" they would reply, "The blonde has flirted with us!" But with you, it’s different. You are brutally honest and play with an open hand. You openly declare: "We want Arab oil." You openly state: "Arabs and Muslims are not welcome in America!" You openly admit: "I stand with Israel in everything it does." You don’t pretend to oppose settlements while secretly funding their cement. You don’t call for Israel to show "restraint" in Gaza while supplying them with missiles to bomb it!

Mr. President:

Do you know why America chose you? I will tell you. It chose you because you are a replica of itself. In any respectable country, your qualifications wouldn’t befit a president but rather a gang leader! Don’t be offended—the burden of proof lies on the claimant!

First, you are ignorant of culture and understand politics about as much as Shakira understands Einstein’s theory of relativity. Hillary humiliated you in two debates, exposing your ignorance, yet they still elected you! They leaked videos of you bragging about harassing women, yet they still elected you! They proved you dodged taxes—the same taxes you expect people to pay—yet they still elected you! Your personal life is nauseating, yet they still elected you! Believe me, you are a miniature version of America, a grotesque version of a grotesque nation that still celebrates dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki without a shred of conscience!

Mr. President:

We are tired of masks—show us America’s true face. We are tired of sweet talk—let us hear America’s real voice. We are weary of your expressions of concern and nausea over our suffering—those are pregnancy symptoms, not political stances! Show us how America truly feels about us. Don’t worry about breaking our hearts—we already know the truth, but we want our rulers to see that this is a one-sided love affair! We are tired of your pretensions of balance—take the stick and strike us over the head, perhaps we will wake up!

Mr. President:

Nothing ruins nations faster than placing them in the hands of a fool. And I pray that your era marks the beginning of America’s downfall, that your years in power will be like the seven lean years of Egypt during the time of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), peace be upon him. So please, be yourself. Don’t let them restrain you. I beg you, be American—without the makeup!

🚨IMPORTANT: Government Media Office:

"Israeli" Occupation Stalls Implementation of Humanitarian Protocol and Evades Commitments:

As the humanitarian crisis in Gazza worsens, the "Israeli" occupation continues to violate the humanitarian protocol agreed upon as part of the ceasefire deal.

Despite clear agreements, "Israel" has failed to uphold its commitments, deliberately delaying and obstructing the entry of urgently needed humanitarian aid, shelter and relief supplies for the Palestinian people in Gazza.

Under the humanitarian protocol, the following were supposed to be delivered:

⭕60,000 caravans and 200,000 temporary tents to shelter displaced Palestinians whose homes and neighborhoods were destroyed by the "Israeli" occupation bombardment.

⭕600 aid trucks daily, including:

•50 fuel and gas trucks, •4,200 aid trucks over a 7-day period.

⭕Essential humanitarian, medical, and civil defense equipment

⭕Removal of rubble and infrastructure repairs

⭕Reactivation of Gazza’s power plant and restoration of humanitarian services

However, the "Israeli" occupation is placing obstacles and stalling implementation, exacerbating the humanitarian catastrophe and deepening civilian suffering in Gazza—creating grave and unprecedented consequences.

We hold the "Israeli" occupation and the U.S. administration fully responsible for the severe repercussions of "Israel’s" failure to uphold its commitments.

We urge the guarantor parties and international actors to fulfill their responsibilities by taking strong, decisive action to ensure the immediate implementation of the humanitarian protocol—without conditions or restrictions, as originally agreed.

Fact Check: US UNRWA funding already halted in 2024, not by Trump 2025 order

By Reuters Fact Check

January 28, 2025

Jan 28 - U.S. funding to the main U.N. agency for Palestinians was suspended in 2024 under the Joe Biden administration, but people online have claimed it was the result of President Donald Trump signing an executive order upon his return to office.

The order, one of many issued by Trump on Jan. 20, the day he was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, temporarily suspended U.S. foreign aid pending reviews of existing development programs.

People on social media, including an X post viewed more than 1.6 million times, said this meant Trump's order had halted U.S. funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

But U.S. funding to UNRWA was already frozen, having been so since 2024.

Former U.S. President Joe Biden, along with more than a dozen countries, stopped funding the agency in January 2024 after Israel accused 12 of its 13,000 employees of participating in the deadly Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which triggered the Gazza war.

The United Nations said in August that an investigation found nine staff members may have been involved.

The halt to funding will last until March 2025, according to legislation, opens new tab that ratified the decision.

There is no record of U.S. funding to UNRWA being resumed.

The Trump administration previously cut funding to the agency in 2018 before the Biden administration restarted it again in April 2021.

The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

VERDICT

Misleading. U.S. funding to UNRWA was already suspended in 2024 following accusations against some of its staff by Israel.

ICJ president 'plagiarised 32 percent of pro-Israel dissenting opinion'

In fresh revelations, Palestinian researcher finds nearly one third of Julia Sebutinde's legal view on Israeli occupation was directly lifted from unattributed sources

3 February 2025

Fresh allegations have emerged of Julia Sebutinde, acting president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), appearing to plagiarise large sections of her dissenting opinion on Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

Last month, Sebutinde, who arguably holds the most prestigious judicial position, was accused of directly lifting sentences almost word for word in her dissenting opinion written on 19 July.

A study seen by Middle East Eye compiled by Majd Abuamer, a Palestinian researcher at the Doha Institute, for an upcoming book by US scholar Norman Finkelstein has now alleged that “at least 32 percent of Sebutinde’s dissent was plagiarised”.

In July, a 15-judge panel found that Israel's decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories was "unlawful" and that its "near-complete separation" of people in the occupied West Bank breached international laws concerning "racial segregation" and "apartheid".

While most judges agreed with the advisory opinion, Sebutinde rejected the findings.

When contacted by MEE for a response, Sebutinde declined to comment on the plagiarism allegations.

'Bizarre'

Finkelstein told MEE that when he initially read the Ugandan judge's dissenting opinion in July, he found it to be “bizarre”, and suspected that sentences may have been plagiarised.

“So I posted on my Twitter account: ‘Would anyone care to volunteer to help me track down some plagiarism?’” the writer and scholar said.

Following Finkestein’s call-out on X, formerly known as Twitter, Abuamer, who grew up in Gazza, responded with a thorough examination of the document.

“He's very precise. He finds 32.2 percent of her dissent was plagiarised," said Finkelstein.

One of the sources Abuamer found that Sebutinde repeatedly borrowed sentences from, word for word, is a video by conservative activist David Brog, entitled “Why isn’t there a Palestinian state?”.

Laying out the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Sebutinde wrote that during the 1937 Peel Commission, “The British Government offered the Palestinian Arabs 80 percent of Mandatory Palestine (Transjordan), and the Jews the remaining 20 per cent (Palestine) in a suggested split that was heavily in favour of the former.

“Despite the tiny size of their proposed State, the Jews voted to accept this offer, but the Arabs rejected it and resumed their violent rebellion against the British mandate.”

The equivalent sentence in Brog’s video stated: “The suggested split was heavily in favour of the Arabs. The British offered them 80 percent of the disputed territory; the Jews, the remaining 20 percent. Yet, despite the tiny size of their proposed state, the Jews voted to accept this offer. But the Arabs rejected it and resumed their violent rebellion.”

Large parts of the text from Brog’s video appear in Sebutinde’s dissenting opinion - much of it word for word. The video is not mentioned in her citations.

Brog is the former director of Christians United for Israel, and the current director of the Maccabee Task Force, which fights the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement on campuses in the US and Canada.

Abuamer also found sections lifted from a 2016 paper titled “Palestine, Uti Possidetis Juris and the Borders of Israel” by Abraham Bell and Eugene Kontorovich (2016).

These sections were highlighted last week in a blog by Mihai Martoiu Ticu, a writer based in the Netherlands.

Bell and Kontorovich were among three legal scholars who wrote to Israel’s political leadership in January of last year, asserting that Israel was not legally obligated to allow displaced Palestinians in northern Gazza to return to their homes.

Several sentences by Sebutinde were also lifted verbatim from a column by former US official Douglas Feith, as MEE reported last week.

Feith served as under secretary of defence for policy in US President George W Bush's administration from July 2001 until August 2005, devising US strategy for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He also co-wrote a policy paper for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 1996, recommending that Israel consider removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and militarily engaging Syria using proxy forces.

Sentences lifted from Wikipedia and BBC

Not all of the sources that Sebutinde took sentences from are pro-Israeli or conservative. Abuamer finds that several sections are directly lifted from Wikipedia and BBC News.

In a section laying out the background of the 1973 Middle East war, Sebutinde writes: “The Israelis recognised that, despite impressive operational and tactical achievements on the battlefield, there was no guarantee that they would always dominate the Arab States militarily, as they had done consistently throughout the First, Second and Third Arab-Israeli Wars; these changes paved the way for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.”

Aside from the occasional change of word, this was lifted from the “Yom Kippur War” Wikipedia entry, as of late July.

A number of sentences were lifted verbatim from a BBC explainer on the history of wars between Israelis and Palestinians in Gazza.

There are also at least two sources quoted by Sebutinde, verbatim, from official submissions to the court for the July case. Neither of the sources are attributed by the judge.

Sebutinde wrote: “In 2020, in the context of the Abraham Accords, normalisation agreements (equivalent to peace treaties) have been reached between Israel and a diverse list of Arab countries including the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan.

“The Israeli presence in the West Bank pending the conclusion of a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians is consistent with the international and bilateral frameworks for the resolution of the conflict.”

The sentence, among several others, was written by the International Association of Jewish Lawyers (IJL) in its written statement submitted to the ICJ as part of the July proceedings looking into Israel’s policies in the occupied territories.

MEE consulted with legal experts on this matter, who stated that lifting sentences from statements that were submitted to the court by participants of the case is less problematic, and may not necessarily be considered plagiarism.

One expert said that while it was not plagiarism, the source of the submission should still have been clarified, rather than Sebutinde making out it was her own view of the law.

As well as IJL, Sebutinde quoted extensively from Fiji’s submission to the court.

She wrote: “Most of the participants in these advisory proceedings have, regrettably, presented the Court with a one-sided narrative that fails to take account of the complexity of the conflict and that misrepresents its legal, cultural, historical, and political context.”

Meanwhile, Fiji’s spokesperson told the court: “In Fiji’s view, this Court has unfortunately been presented in these proceedings with a distinctly one-sided narrative. This fails to take account of the complexity of this dispute and misrepresents the legal, historical and political context.”

There was no mention of Fiji in the footnotes.

MEE reached out to the ICJ for comment, but there was no response by the time of publication.

Finkelstein hailed Abuamer’s research, which he described as “brilliant” and “precise”.

“It tells you something about all the human talent that was squandered and destroyed by Israel in Gazza,” the scholar said. “I've met so many really impressive people from Gazza.”

Jewish embryologist: Muslim women are the cleanest women on earth. Scientist Robert Gilhem, the leader of the Jews at the Albert Einstein Institute, and a specialist in embryology, declared his conversion to Islam as soon as he learned the scientific truth and the miracle of the Qur’an regarding the reason for setting the waiting period for divorce for women at three months. Modern science surprised everyone with a scientific surprise called (the man’s semen fingerprint), as the man’s penis contains 62 proteins, which differ from one man to another, just like a fingerprint, which is a special code for each man. A woman’s body carries a computer that stores the code of the men she is intimate with, so if she marries another man. Immediately after the divorce, or more than one code was entered, it is as if a virus entered the computer and infects it with malfunctions and malignant diseases. It has been scientifically proven that the first menstruation after divorce removes 32% to 35%, the second menstruation removes 67% to 72% of the man’s fingerprint, and the third menstruation removes 99.9% of the man’s fingerprint, and the uterus is purified of the previous fingerprint and prepared to receive the new fingerprint code without being harmed. Therefore, prostitutes and adulteresses are infected with deadly diseases as a result of the mixing of seminal fluids in the uterus. As for the widow’s waiting period, it takes a longer time to remove the blade, as grief makes the fingerprint stronger on her, so she needs the amount of time that God Almighty said (four months and ten days) for the man’s water print to disappear completely. This fact prompted the embryologist to conduct an investigation in an African Muslim neighborhood in America, which revealed that all women carry only their husbands’ fingerprints. While scientific investigations in another neighborhood of emancipated American women showed that they had multiple fingerprints, from two to three. The truth was astonishing to the world when he ran tests on his wife to discover that she had three fingerprints, which meant that she was cheating on him. He went so far as to discover that only one out of three sons was his son. As a result, he became convinced that Islam is the only religion that guarantees the immunity of women and the cohesion of society, and that Muslim women are the cleanest women on the face of the earth. A nice topic worth publishing Glory be to You, Lord


As-salamu alaykum.

I managed to check the websites Muftisaheb mentioned.

Alhamdulillah, there's a great improvement on the presentation of material to users since I last checked.

I'd suggest that a Search bar be added to the Home page of the Darul Emaan website, as the other two websites have, InshAllah.

It will make it easier for users to find topics of interest, instead of their having to check each tab manually.

On Muftisaheb's website, I found some repetition of articles pertaining to Sayyidina Husein RA's martyrdom and material regarding Tariq Jameel.

Perhaps it would be better to list the articles, either in alphabetical or chronological order.

I also think it would be better to separate the books from the articles for easier access, InshAllah.

For now, these are the main points I feel are important.

On the whole, it was a more positive experience using the websites this time.

Ahmed Rashid Jooma

Respected Brother,

Your e-mail refers.

Yes, we do agree that many organizations, especially those controlled by modernists and by the evil molvis and sheikhs such as Jusa and MJC cliques, grossly abuse funds. Prime culprits are the modernist Zakaat collecting entities.

It devolves on the donors to ascertain the type of personnel operating the organization before entrusting their donations to them. Scoundrels cannot conceal for too long their shenanigans. Allah Ta’ala exposes them.

If the organization is not under the control of persons of Taqwa, funds should not be entrusted to them.

How can donors “demand transparency” when there is really no way of knowing if the accounts fabricated are genuine or not? Scoundrels are experts in cooking accounts and balance sheets. Fraudulent balance sheets are the norm. An organization has ways of circumventing detection and siphoning off funds for their own corrupt use.

The only way to avoid the massive misuse of trust funds is for donors to make endeavours of ascertaining the moral integrity of the personnel to whom they contribute. If they are not men of Taqwa, never should funds be entrusted to them.

Was-salaam

Alameen Templeton

South Africa’s prosecuting authorities are targeting Muslims and trying to discourage sadaqah while turning a blind eye to hundreds, if not thousands, of South African citizens serving illegally in Zionazi Israel’s army.

That’s the view of the Association of Muslim Professionals of SA (Ampsa) that has slammed the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for bias, accusing it of religiously profiling Muslims in the country.

Arrested seven years later

Ampsa levelled the accusation after Sandton resident Ziyadh Hoorzook was granted bail in the Lichtenburg Magistrate’s Court this week.

The state alleges, on 30 November 2017, Hoorzook transferred money from his bank account to Luno, bought Bitcoin, and transferred the cryptocurrency to an organisation called al-Sadaqah.

He was arrested more than seven years later, on 3 January 2025, for allegedly contravening the Protection of Constitutional Democracy Against Terrorist and Related Activities Act (POCDATARA).

Hoorzook denies any wrongdoing, saying that he innocently donated money to what he believed to be a charitable cause at the time.

In comparison, the recruits for the Gaza genocide that has killed about 80 000 civilians so far are allowed to fly unobstructed out of South Africa’s airports to destroy a bit of Gaza and then to return for some rest and recreation, despite our government ostensibly being opposed to the genocide, Ampsa points out.

It begs the question: is there anyone in the national driving seat?

‘Disconcerting inconsistency’

Yet, when one ordinary Muslim donates R11 500 to an organisation calling itself Al-Sadaqah, that gets flagged by US authorities four years later as a front for something else, our prosecutors throw the entire weight of the state’s resources at him.

“The inconsistency of the national prosecuting authority in this country that emerges ineluctably from a comparison of the two scenarios … is indeed disconcerting and has understandably raised serious concerns among discerning members of society,” Ampsa says.

It is alarmed at the sudden rush to prosecute once a Muslim appears to have stepped over a presumed line that undulates invisibly in a geopolitical fantasia that has taken up home in the minds of some of our prosecuting authorities.

How many South Africans are serving in the Israeli genocide at the moment? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

“We have yet to witness a single prosecution in this country of these Israeli combatants,” Ampsa says.

This is despite copious information about South African citizens and permanent residents who are enlisted in the genocide, Ampsa says. Prosecuting authorities have access to the information and have also been provided with more, Ampsa says.

Genocide funders walk free

It insists the South African genocidaires be prosecuted because their unauthorised presence in a foreign army’s ranks is a “flagrant contravention” of the Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act.

“Unbridled funding to the tune of millions of rands and public calls for financial and other support for the murderous campaign of the Israeli state by individuals, businesses and corporations in South Africa have been widespread.

“Their calls for solidarity with Israel and their active contribution to the coffers of the murderous military machinery of the Israeli state has also not resulted in a single prosecution in this country,” Ampsa says.

So, why is Ziyadh Hoorzook being singled out for special attention, the association asks.

Ampsa says the “objective facts are that (Hoorzook) donated R11 500 in the year 2017 to Al Sadaqah, a charity organisation that operated in Syria (and which was not on the UN terror list at the time he made such donation), with the intention of assisting our brothers and sisters in Syria who were suffering untold hardship at the time at the hands of another tyrant and killer of humanity, Bashar al Assad.

A label soaked in prejudice

“That the prosecuting authority instituted a prosecution against brother Ziyadh in the year 2025 for a payment made in 2017, a point in time when Assad’s reign of terror was at its peak and thousands of civilians were being slaughtered in Syria, is deeply worrisome and justifiably raises serious concerns about duplicity and ulterior purpose,” Ampsa warns.

The association says “terrorism” is a political label soaked in prejudice and history is replete with examples of great statesmen who were once clad in the same cloth.

“The mere allegation of terrorism is enough to cause enormous hardship to the person or group that stands accused of it.”

So, any such allegation needs careful scrutiny with particular attention paid to the source, political context and nature of the allegation, as well as against whom it is aimed and the motive for making the claim, Ampsa says.

Seen in this light, Ziyadh’s prosecution must raise alarm bells, it says.

Ampsa excoriates suggestions by the Institute for Strategic Studies (ISS) and other experts that Ziyadh be thrown to the wolves in return for South Africa’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force’s “grey list” of countries with weak financial oversight of criminal and terror financiers.

‘Othering’ the Muslims

The ISS suggests his prosecution will dissuade “terror funding”.

“The messaging that is inherent in these comments is that Muslims are responsible for South Africa’s ills and cannot be trusted.

“The “othering” of the Muslim community by certain groups internationally and locally is increasingly orchestrated and prevalent- the stench of the hatred for Islam underpins much of the anti-immigration fervour that continues to sweep across Europe, North America and South Africa,” Ampsa says.

It calls on all Muslims, but South Africans in particular, to stand with Ziyadh against injustice.

“It is a responsibility we cannot and must not shirk. We call on the ummah to support the efforts being made to secure the withdrawal of all charges against Ziyadh, to remember him and his family in your supplications and to ensure that oppressors and persecutors (dhalimeen) all over the world, including those in South Africa, encounter an ummah of justice, courage, brotherhood, solidarity, resilience, steadfastness and perseverance.”

South Africa’s prosecuting authorities are targeting Muslims and trying to discourage sadaqah while turning a blind eye to hundreds, if not thousands, of South African citizens serving illegally in Zionazi Israel’s army.

That’s the view of the Association of Muslim Professionals of SA (Ampsa) that has slammed the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for bias, accusing it of religiously profiling Muslims in the country.

Arrested seven years later

Ampsa levelled the accusation after Sandton resident Ziyadh Hoorzook was granted bail in the Lichtenburg Magistrate’s Court this week.

The state alleges, on 30 November 2017, Hoorzook transferred money from his bank account to Luno, bought Bitcoin, and transferred the cryptocurrency to an organisation called al-Sadaqah.

He was arrested more than seven years later, on 3 January 2025, for allegedly contravening the Protection of Constitutional Democracy Against Terrorist and Related Activities Act (POCDATARA).

Hoorzook denies any wrongdoing, saying that he innocently donated money to what he believed to be a charitable cause at the time.

In comparison, the recruits for the Gaza genocide that has killed about 80 000 civilians so far are allowed to fly unobstructed out of South Africa’s airports to destroy a bit of Gaza and then to return for some rest and recreation, despite our government ostensibly being opposed to the genocide, Ampsa points out.

It begs the question: is there anyone in the national driving seat?

‘Disconcerting inconsistency’

Yet, when one ordinary Muslim donates R11 500 to an organisation calling itself Al-Sadaqah, that gets flagged by US authorities four years later as a front for something else, our prosecutors throw the entire weight of the state’s resources at him.

“The inconsistency of the national prosecuting authority in this country that emerges ineluctably from a comparison of the two scenarios … is indeed disconcerting and has understandably raised serious concerns among discerning members of society,” Ampsa says.

It is alarmed at the sudden rush to prosecute once a Muslim appears to have stepped over a presumed line that undulates invisibly in a geopolitical fantasia that has taken up home in the minds of some of our prosecuting authorities.

How many South Africans are serving in the Israeli genocide at the moment? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

“We have yet to witness a single prosecution in this country of these Israeli combatants,” Ampsa says.

This is despite copious information about South African citizens and permanent residents who are enlisted in the genocide, Ampsa says. Prosecuting authorities have access to the information and have also been provided with more, Ampsa says.

Genocide funders walk free

It insists the South African genocidaires be prosecuted because their unauthorised presence in a foreign army’s ranks is a “flagrant contravention” of the Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act.

“Unbridled funding to the tune of millions of rands and public calls for financial and other support for the murderous campaign of the Israeli state by individuals, businesses and corporations in South Africa have been widespread.

“Their calls for solidarity with Israel and their active contribution to the coffers of the murderous military machinery of the Israeli state has also not resulted in a single prosecution in this country,” Ampsa says.

So, why is Ziyadh Hoorzook being singled out for special attention, the association asks.

Ampsa says the “objective facts are that (Hoorzook) donated R11 500 in the year 2017 to Al Sadaqah, a charity organisation that operated in Syria (and which was not on the UN terror list at the time he made such donation), with the intention of assisting our brothers and sisters in Syria who were suffering untold hardship at the time at the hands of another tyrant and killer of humanity, Bashar al Assad.

A label soaked in prejudice

“That the prosecuting authority instituted a prosecution against brother Ziyadh in the year 2025 for a payment made in 2017, a point in time when Assad’s reign of terror was at its peak and thousands of civilians were being slaughtered in Syria, is deeply worrisome and justifiably raises serious concerns about duplicity and ulterior purpose,” Ampsa warns.

The association says “terrorism” is a political label soaked in prejudice and history is replete with examples of great statesmen who were once clad in the same cloth.

“The mere allegation of terrorism is enough to cause enormous hardship to the person or group that stands accused of it.”

So, any such allegation needs careful scrutiny with particular attention paid to the source, political context and nature of the allegation, as well as against whom it is aimed and the motive for making the claim, Ampsa says.

Seen in this light, Ziyadh’s prosecution must raise alarm bells, it says.

Ampsa excoriates suggestions by the Institute for Strategic Studies (ISS) and other experts that Ziyadh be thrown to the wolves in return for South Africa’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force’s “grey list” of countries with weak financial oversight of criminal and terror financiers.

‘Othering’ the Muslims

The ISS suggests his prosecution will dissuade “terror funding”.

“The messaging that is inherent in these comments is that Muslims are responsible for South Africa’s ills and cannot be trusted.

“The “othering” of the Muslim community by certain groups internationally and locally is increasingly orchestrated and prevalent- the stench of the hatred for Islam underpins much of the anti-immigration fervour that continues to sweep across Europe, North America and South Africa,” Ampsa says.

It calls on all Muslims, but South Africans in particular, to stand with Ziyadh against injustice.

“It is a responsibility we cannot and must not shirk. We call on the ummah to support the efforts being made to secure the withdrawal of all charges against Ziyadh, to remember him and his family in your supplications and to ensure that oppressors and persecutors (dhalimeen) all over the world, including those in South Africa, encounter an ummah of justice, courage, brotherhood, solidarity, resilience, steadfastness and perseverance.”

Suspected human trafficking: Senior Lev Tahor member arrested

INTERPOL arrested Yoel Alter outside a government center for the treatment of minors in the Guatemalan capital.

Jan 26, 2025, 4:26 PM (GMT+2)

INTERPOL has arrested Yoel Alter, aged 35, a senior member of the Lev Tahor cult, in Guatemala.

Alter, who was dressed in the cult's characteristic brown cloak when he was outside a government center for the treatment of minors in the Guatemalan capital, is wanted in Mexico for suspected human trafficking and is expected to be extradited in the coming days.

The arrest comes at the height of a crisis surrounding the cult in Guatemala where 148 children are being held after they were separated from their parents who are suspected of severe abuse.

According to the authorities, the cult's young mothers are suspected of starving their children at the behest of the cult's leadership in an attempt to put pressure on the government.

Alter is the second cult member to be arrested in Central America in the past month. At the beginning of the month, Jonathan Emmanuel Cardona Castillo, who was on the run after being charged with child abuse, was arrested.

In December police raided the cult's compound in Santa Rosa, Guatemala, and rescued 160 minors and 40 women.

BOOM! Military Tribunals Are Coming: Trump Declares War on Fauci and the WEF!

President Donald J. Trump has ignited a political firestorm by ordering military tribunals for Dr. Anthony Fauci and World Economic Forum operatives. This isn’t just justice—it’s a declaration of war against the global elite who orchestrated the Covid “plandemic” to enslave humanity.

Fauci’s Judgment Day: The Truth Exposed

Once hailed as the face of America’s pandemic response, Fauci now stands accused of funding dangerous research in Wuhan, suppressing life-saving treatments, and colluding with Big Pharma for profit. Trump’s orders demand a full investigation into Fauci’s role in what many believe was an engineered crisis to control the masses.

“This isn’t negligence—it’s treason,” Trump’s team declared. If Fauci’s actions qualify as crimes against humanity, military justice will deliver swift and decisive accountability.

Why Military Tribunals? Wartime Measures for Wartime Crimes

Trump’s reliance on military tribunals signifies a total rejection of the corrupted civilian justice system. These tribunals, designed for the gravest crimes, will bypass bureaucratic delays and deliver unflinching justice.

“The American people have had enough,” Trump said. “This is how we take back our country.”

WEF Operatives in the Crosshairs

The World Economic Forum and their “Great Reset” agenda are now at the center of Trump’s crusade. The WEF has long been accused of manipulating governments, spreading anti-sovereignty propaganda, and prioritizing billionaire interests over citizens’ freedoms. Trump’s orders are clear: find and prosecute every operative who betrayed America.

The Great Covid Betrayal

Trump’s team vows to expose the plandemic’s true agenda: surveillance, control, and profit at the expense of freedom. Fauci and others are accused of lying to the public, enforcing destructive policies, and silencing dissent to maintain their stranglehold on power.

A Historic Reckoning

This isn’t just a trial; it’s a revolution. Trump’s bold move has ignited a firestorm of support, with millions demanding justice for years of lies, lockdowns, and mandates. “Globalists will fall,” Trump declared, signaling the start of a worldwide uprising against elite corruption.

The storm is here. Justice is coming. The world will never be the same. Stay tuned.

I’m free! I wrote this on the plane and I’m posting it just after landing at Istanbul. On Monday evening I was brought to Zurich airport in handcuffs, in a small metal cage inside a windowless prison van and led all the way to the plane by police. This is after three days and two nights in a Swiss prison cut off from communication with the outside world, in a cell 24 hours a day with one cell mate, not even permitted to contact my family. On Saturday in a police interview in the presence of my lawyer they accused me of “offending against Swiss law” without ever telling me what crime I had committed in Switzerland or listing any charges. As far as I know I have not been charged with any crime whatsoever and I was held in “administrative detention.” On Sunday morning, they took me from my cell for questioning by Swiss defense ministry intelligence agents without the presence of my lawyer, and they again refused to allow me to contact her or my family. I refused to talk to them without my lawyer and told them take me back to my cell. During my imprisonment I refused every meal and every cup of coffee or tea they offered me except the last meal, after I knew I would be going home. I accepted only water, which is the right of every human being. All of this was after I was abducted off the street around 1:30pm on Saturday while on my way to the Palestine teach-in by undercover agents, handcuffed, forced into an unmarked car and sped straight to the prison. My “crime”? Being a journalist who speaks up for Palestine and against Israel’s genocide and settler-colonial savagery and those who aid and abet it. I came to Switzerland at the invitation of Swiss citizens to talk about justice for Palestine, to talk about accountability for a genocide in which Switzerland too is complicit. But while I was hauled off to prison like a dangerous criminal before I even had a chance to say a word, the Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who declared at the start of the genocide that there are no civilians in Gaza, no innocents, received a red carpet welcome in Davos, a carpet soaked in the blood of the more than 47,000 known victims of the genocide and the thousands more still under the rubble, or who died of deliberately inflicted starvation and denial of medical care. And on this very day Netanyahu freely travels to Poland to make a mockery of the Auschwitz commemoration despite an outstanding ICC arrest warrant. That is the perverse, unjust world we live in. This ordeal lasted three days but that taste of prison was more than enough to leave me in even greater awe of the Palestinian heroes who endure months and years in the prisons of the genocidal oppressor. More than ever I know that the debt we owe them is one we can never repay and all of them must be free and they must remain our focus. The police gave me my phone back only at the gate of the plane so I’m only seeing now the extent of the overwhelming support and solidarity from all over the world. I’m deeply grateful to each and every person who stood up for me. I’m especially grateful to my lawyer Dina Raewel and her team, to our friends in Zurich who I learned afterwards demonstrated outside the prison, to my family and my colleagues at EI and so many others. I honestly had no idea what was happening outside that concrete room! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I want to tell the whole story of what happened, perhaps in an @intifada livestream in the next day or two, because I think it’s important for people to know the depths to which their Western so-called “democracies” have sunk in the abject service of genocidal Zionism. Right now I’m glad to be on my way home. I’m looking forward to hugging my mom and dad, taking a shower and sleeping in my own bed. Journalism is not a crime! Speaking out for Palestine is not a crime! Standing against racist genocidal Zionism is not a crime! Say it with me:

From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free! ❤🇵🇸✌

Coltan mines and a forced arm: Unmasking motive behind South Africa’s DRC troop deployment

Author: Josephine Kalembe

2024-02-13

The first contingent of South African troops arrived in the east of the Democratic of Congo (DRC), in late December 2023, as part of the deployment of military forces by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to fight M23 rebels.

The military force included commando assault units, artillery men, logistics personnel and airmen.

Prior to their deployment, South Africa had claimed that SADC troops would not be sent to DRC due to failure of payment from Kinshasa. But soon after, the troops were seen landing in Goma, the capital of North Kivu Province.

What prompted the change of heart from South Africa?

Right after their deployment, the South African National Defence Force’s first mission was to fight off the M23 rebels from their captured territory in Sake, some 25 kilometers north-west of Goma, and precisely attempting to take control of Rubaya mine in Masisi, North Kivu.

The Rubaya mines are a series of coltan mining sites near the town of Rubaya in Masisi Territory where tonnes of the strategic mineral have been, for years, extracted and exported.

The SANDF’s mission in Rubaya was clear, from the very start. The South African army is protecting their country’s interests, disregarding the plight of the Congolese people who are suffering.

According to a source from Pretoria, South African Mining Development Association (MIASA) is looking to have access to the mining hub, prompting the South African troops to viciously fight off the M23 rebels, with the resultant civilian casualties, for the sake of securing the mines.

For South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, there is a personal catch in securing Rubaya.

Ramaphosa's special envoy to the Great Lakes, Jeff Radebe, is married to Brigitte Motsepe, the President of MIASA, and the sister of the South African first lady. Radebe's brother-in-law Patrice Motsepe, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) president, is one of Africa's billionaires in mining.

Ramaphosa’s fight against the M23 rebels is simply for personal gains. By fighting off the rebels, he is killing two birds with one stone; pleasing his Congolese counterpart Felix Tshisekedi, while his family gains full access to the Rubaya mines in DRC.

South Africa’s crippling power crisis a factor in eastern DRC equation

Beyond eyeing the mining sector, Ramaphosa deployed the troops, after Tshisekedi threatened to frustrate the Inga dam project, a series of seven proposed hydroelectric power stations at the site of the Inga Falls, to which South Africa stands to benefit from.

Since 2022, South Africa has had persisting power challenges due to its ailing electricity infrastructure.

That problem could be solved by DRC. In 2013, both countries signed a treaty where South Africa committed to purchasing 2,500 megawatts from the dam, known as Inga 3.

Both countries pledged to revive DRC’s giant Inga 3 hydroelectric project that South Africa hopes will help solve its power crisis.

"We have now recommitted ourselves to revive the Grand Inga project," Ramaphosa said at a joint press conference in Kinshasa, in July 2023, noting that the project had been "lying dead."

Knowing where and how to hurt Pretoria, Kinshasa threatened to pull the plug if Ramaphosa did not deploy troops to eastern DRC.

The South African leader panicked. His country has been interested in Grand Inga’s power generating potential since the late 1990s, with its policy plan assuming it could import 2,500 MW from Inga by 2030.

With that in mind, therefore, sources say, Ramaphosa’s hand was forced and, as such, the M23 rebels’ cause is the least of Ramaphosa’s worries. He is eyeing way bigger business and economic interests.

When the Southern African Development Community (SADC) allowed the deployment of a Mission to the DRC (SAMIDRC), it was to purportedly assist the Congolese government in restoring peace and security in the eastern part of the country.

However, as days go by, the security situation is only getting worse because countries are there for their own business or economic interests and not to help the suffering Congolese people at all.

South Africa is only helping Kinshasa to break the country more.


Alameen Templeton

It may be “terror-financing suspect” Ziyadh Hoorzook is being hounded for a paltry R11 500 bitcoin purchase made seven years ago because that is about as big a case that South Africa’s ham-fisted prosecuting authorities can handle.

Meanwhile, masterminds of massive financial scandals totalling hundreds of billions of rands that blew up around the same time Hoorzook allegedly made the transaction are not only walking free, they’re still raking in billions.

Gangsters’ Paradise

With our Keystone Cops on the beat, South Africa has become Corruption Boom City.

And it’s not just Markaz Sahaba asking if Hoorzook is being set up by our portly prosecutors in a pathetic bid to remove South Africa from an international “grey list”.

https://mybroadband.co.za/news/columns/579671-hawks-nail-man-for-r11500-bitcoin-transfer-while-millionaire-scammers-walk-free.html

Mybroadband is also asking some obvious questions, noting, “While it took the Hawks seven years to arrest a suspect in this case, that is infinitely better than the nothing the elite law enforcement agency has to show for cases like BTC Global and State Capture.”

BTC Global was a pyramid scheme operating in the Bitcoin space, luring in 27 000 victims from all over the world, before its alleged founder, Steven Twain (who may or may not be a fictitious character), disappeared along with $50million (R875million). He disappeared a year after Hoorzook allegedly made his R11 500 transaction, but the Hawks have still made no arrests, and still have no real proof he existed at all.

Chasing a ghost

Twain’s ephemeral existence makes him an almost-perfect fall guy – the Hawks are always “on the case” and his henchmen just shrug their shoulders and say “but Twain took the money”.

Unlike Twain, Hoorzook definitely exists, and he can be presented in court as an affirmation that the Hawks really do investigate things. But, is he in court because a R11 500 deal is appropriate for investigation by a national agency with all the presumed power and resources behind it, or is he in court because he doesn’t have the big bucks to defend and delay or simply buy off the prosecution?

The Steinhoff saga burst like a suppurating boil just a few months after Hoorzook made his donation to “Al-Sadaqah”, an organisation in Syria saying it was assisting the mujahideen. At that stage it was not red-flagged (it was only marked as an organisation of interest in the US in 2021, nearly four years after Hoorzook made his donation. And that occurred in an ex-parte application in which Al-Sadaqah made no representations, nor was it given chance to defend itself).

Steinhoff imploded on December 6 2017, wiping R120billion off its market value in just a few hours. Within a few weeks, almost all its R236billion market value had disappeared, and its share lumped among the “penny stocks”, trading for less than R1.

Twiddling thumbs

Markus Jooste, its founder and chief executive, had simply melted into the background. The Hawks were stumped; they had nothing. In 2019, after nearly two years of nothing, Public Prosecutions national director Shamila Batohi admitted simply that the NPA did not have the in-house skills to prosecute commercial crimes like Steinhoff.

German authorities had investigated and found him guilty by August 2023 for crimes in that country related to Steinhoff’s implosion. The Hawks, no doubt bolstered by the evidence gathered by their German colleagues, only got around to issuing an arrest warrant for Jooste seven months later.

He promptly committed suicide, taking a lot of valuable evidence and information with him.

In the end, only chief financial officer Ben la Grange was prosecuted for one count of fraud. Considering the international scope of Steinhoff’s reach, there were clearly quite a few more people than Jooste and La Grange involved, but they are still walking free.

Four brothers from India came to South Africa and beat up the entire country, but the Guptas are still at large. Tom Moyane the SA Revenue Service commissioner and Bain International deliberately went about destroying the institution, but Moyane still lives the life of Reilly.

Schedule 6 suspect

More than 2 000 highly skilled senior staff members were lost as a result and the institution is still trying to recover.

But Hoorzook is facing a Schedule 6 bail application, which make it next-to-impossible to win bail because he’s supposedly an international terror financier.

The Zondo Commission concluded: "The only feasible conclusion is that the organization was deliberately captured and President (Jacob) Zuma and Mr Moyane played critical roles in the capture of Sars and dismantling it in the way it was done during Mr Moyane's term as Commissioner.

"What occurred at Sars was inevitable the moment Mr Moyane set foot there. He dismantled the elements of governance one by one. This was more than mere mismanagement. It was seizing control of Sars as if it was his to have," it continued.

Mirror Trading was another SA-based pyramid scheme that ran for just over a year before collapsing in 2020. Exactly how much money was lost is still uncertain (the Hawks, after all, are on the case), but estimates are that R19.5billion worth of Bitcoin were being traded on the platform, making it the biggest pyramid scheme ever in South Africa.

According to Mybroadband, “The scheme’s promoters were extremely active online, posting videos, audio, and text to YouTube, Facebook, and elsewhere, leaving volumes of evidence of their activities.



“Law enforcement also has access to a database of every MTI member and the funds they deposited and withdrew from the scheme, obtained from the hosting company that developed MTI’s website. “Despite this, there have been no arrests.”

Plenty of crime but no arrests … until the perfect, little guy wandered into the crosshairs.






GAZZA CAPTIVE RELEASE

⭕ Prior to the exchange, hundreds of fighters from Al-Qassam Brigades and Saraya Al-Quds came out to Palestine Square, Gazza City, in the northern Gazza Strip.
The number were a clear show of strength in an area which the IOF claimed it had conquered.

⭕ The fighters were met by thousands of locals, chanting in support. One Palestinian mother scattered flowers on fighters from the brigades.
This war has done nothing but increase the love of the Palestinian people for armed Resistance.

⭕ A stage was set up, with the 4 IOF terrorists displayed in their military uniform before being handed over to the Red Cross officials.
Do not let Zionist lies fool you - these captives were not innocent civilians, but rather terrorists who took part in the occupation.

⭕ The captives were laughing and waving, clearly in good health and good spirits.
A slap in the face to all who claim they were mistreated in Gazza.

⭕ Pictures of senior Zionist officials, such as Netanyahu and Gallant, were placed on the ground so that Resistance fighters could step on them when they passed through Palestine Square.

⭕ Qassam fighters were holding Israeli-made IWI Tavor bullpup rifles, captured from the IOF's elite units. Spoils of war.

⭕ In response to this spectacular PR victory, official and unofficial Hebrew platforms call for not circulating images of the prisoner handover operation in Gazza so as not to harm the public's psychological health. It is clear who the victor is in this deal.

Poll: Majority of Israelis support swap deal

Jerusalem - Ma'an - An opinion poll in Israel showed that 70 percent of its citizens support completing the prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian factions in the Gazza Strip in all its stages.

According to the results of the poll conducted by the newspaper "Israel Hayom", 70 percent of the Israelis participating in the poll support completing all stages of the prisoner exchange deal, while 17 percent said that the genocide in Gazza must return after the end of the first stage.

4 percent of those surveyed said they "oppose the deal in all its stages," while 9 percent refrained from expressing their opinion.

According to the poll, "58 percent of those surveyed within the Likud party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu support completing the deal in all its stages."

"95 percent of opposition party members support completing the deal in all its stages."

Financial Times reported that according to people familiar with the matter, Donald Trump will put his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in charge of the Iran file suggesting that Trump is willing to test diplomacy before increasing pressure on Tehran.

Witkoff, a real estate investor who played a key role in securing the Gazza ceasefire, is expected to lead efforts on Iran’s nuclear program as part of a broader mandate from Trump to "stop the wars" in the region, the people told the Financial Times.

Thank you, Gazza!

A year ago, my wife said to me, while we were watching a report about the number of children who became orphans in Gazza: When the war ends, we will bring orphaned children from Gazza and raise them with our children!

I said to her: When the war ends, we will give them our children to raise them for us!

This war taught us that Gazza is unlike anything in this world, and nothing in this world resembles it.

It is as if it is a small piece cut from heaven, then sent down to earth to correct the crooked steps of humanity and to show it the way after its steps had gone astray.

So, thank you, Gazza!

💚Thank you, Gazza: from you we learned that real soldiers graduate from Surat Al-Anfal, and from Qur'an memorization circles, not from military colleges!

We saw your soldiers without elegant uniforms, nor stars on the shoulders, nor medals on their chests, but they were generals!

💚Thank you for humiliating an army that they told us was invincible! You have destroyed an idol of fear that they had carved in our hearts with skill, so we saw that this army is a paper tiger, killed and captured!

💚Thank you, Gazza, for the battalions of glory in you that restored to us the glories of the first heroes;

💚Thank you to the faithful few that reminded us of Badr,

and to the mobilization despite the wounds that remind us of Hamra al-Assad,

and to fighting from zero distance that reminds us of the Day of Yamamah, and to martyrdom that reminds us of Akrima’s pledge to die in Yarmouk,

and to steadfastness that reminds us of the companions of the Day of Qadisiyah!

💚Thank you, Gazza, from you we learned that there are lions lurking in the hearts of men, and that whenever the circumstances are right, they bring back to us the glories of the Companions.

💚So, thank you to Saad at the slingshot - he was creative in his shooting - May my father and mother be sacrificed for him - and thank you to the elite forces for what we saw of their bravery. They reminded us - by Allah - of the day of Uhud when the Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who is the man who will sell himself to us?"

Then Ziyad bin Al-Sakin jumped up and sold himself!

💚Thank you, Gazza, for explaining Surat Al-Anfal to us in your way, so we learned that reciting the verses is one thing and acting upon them is another!

💚Thank you, Gazza, from you we learned that whenever the Mujahideen are for the people, the people are for them.

Your children were killed, but their families were patient and said, "We are sacrificed for the Resistance!"

And their homes were destroyed, but they said, "Glory [victory] has a high price!"

They were harmed so that they would abandon your Mujahideen, but in war - as they were in peace - they put the Mujahideen crowns on their heads. And they are heads that deserve kisses!

💚Thank you Gazza, from you we learned that whoever wants, can and that it is not about capabilities but about will, and whenever it exists, miracles are achieved, and by Allah you are a miracle of this time!

💚Thank you Gazza, from you we learned that this nation lives on blood [sacrifices].

We used to look at these poor millions coming and going but there was a soul missing, then your blood came and breathed life into it! Behind you is a boiling nation and a chained giant whose time has come to break free and rise!

💚Thank you, Gazza, from you we learned that hardship nurtures, and hard days polish. Your children grew up before their time; we heard from them the words of men, and your women are like the female companions [of Nabi Muhammad ﷺ] in patience, sacrifice and devotion to Allah, and your men are mountains... Who can demolish a mountain?!

💚Thank you, Gazza, from you we learned that this world is a jungle, and that only the strong are respected in it.

The Security Council, the United Nations and the Human Rights Charter did not stop them at your doorstep. They were stopped by the shells of Al-Yassin!

💚Thank you, Gazza, from you we learned that poison can be put in honey.

Those who insulted our Prophet ﷺ, under the pretext of freedom of expression, restricted our accounts and deleted our posts when we expressed our opinions while defending you!

And those who called for one religion that is humane, compassionate and merciful - when they saw you being slaughtered, they stripped themselves of their humanity and cited the Talmud and the distorted Bible as evidence for the necessity of killing you!

So, now we repeat in a louder voice: To you is your religion and to me, mine.

💚Thank you, Gazza, from you we learned not to be deceived anymore by children’s rights advocates when they applauded the killing of your children, and they will not enter our homes on the pretext of upholding women’s rights when they were silent about the killing of your women.

All of these were masks to destroy the family bonds amongst us, for it is the last stronghold.

💚Thanks to the real men who created this event:

• Thanks to Abu Khalid who prepared the battalions, and to Abu Al-Baraa who prepared the mounts, and to Abu Ibrahim [Yahya Al-Sinwar] who tied the green headbands!

• Thanks to Abu Al-Abed [Ismail Haniyeh], Abu Al-Walid, Abu Muhammad and Abu Osama for their political cunning!

• Thanks to the masked man with a voice of fire and gunpowder [Abu Obeida]!

• Thanks to Saad at the rocket launcher and to Hudhayfah, the secret agent, and to Jaafar, the flyer, when he suddenly came to them from above, and to the human frogs [frogmen, i.e. Hamas' aquatic squad] that became Ashkelon with the waves!

• Thanks to the carrier pigeon in the signal corps, and to the lions of the infantry battalions waiting for a wild fool to start the raid!

💚Thank you to the great fathers and the Khansa mothers who raised the elite forces in the battalions.

What glory it is to create a hero and then witness the harvest of his upbringing!

💚Thank you to their wives, you were the protectors of their backs and their rear lines. They would not have been in the forefront had it not been for heroines like you who supported and backed them.

By Allah, it is as if it were the scene of the Prophet ﷺ descending from the cave to Khadija RA!

The cruelty of the whole world is made easy by the chest of a beloved!

💚Thank you to your doctors and nurses who received the bodies of their loved ones, but were not distracted by that from the wounds of others!

💚Thank you to your families who all went to heaven together, so no one cried over anyone, and even if someone felt lonely at the separation from someone, Allahu Ta'ala would not allow anything but to admit the loved ones to heaven in groups!

💚Thank you to your children. We did not know before today that children can become men before their time, and that swords are sharpened by fire.

How did you raise them in this way that we are belittled in front of them?

💚Thank you to your women. They brought back to us the heroism of Umm Amara, the attacks of Rufaida and the sacrifices of Al-Khansa’ as she buried her children and asked Allahu Ta'ala to accept her sacrifice!

💚Thank you to your elderly women. They explained to us the long books of faith in video clips that did not exceed a minute. How beautiful it is when faith turns from ink on paper into blood flowing in the veins!

💚Thank you to your elders who bury their children and grandchildren and the funerals do not break them, nor do the remains deter them. Their state of mind before their words is, "O Allah, take from our blood until You are satisfied with us!"

💚Thank you, Gazza: from you we learned that crises drop masks and reveal faces for what they really are.

• How many shoulders we thought were fit to lean on but turned out to be fragile!

• How many brave men in their words turned out to be cowards in their action!

• How many Scholars we thought were righteous but turned out to be bought and sold!

You wanted it to be a battle, and Allahu Ta'ala wanted it to expose [the hypocrites] and purify the ranks.

Now it is only a round in which many have fallen, and this is better than their slipping away from among us when the decisive battle comes!

One of the conditions the Americans imposed on Hamas to accept a ceasefire is to allow an American company, Safe Reach Solutions, to handle the screening of residents forcibly displaced from northern Gazza upon their return.

The CEO of this company, Guy Bejerano, is a Jewish Israeli with an Israeli flag displayed on his LinkedIn profile.

Hamas’s strategic survival drives Israel crazy

By harnessing its institutional strength, field adaptability, and psychological tactics, Hamas masterfully turned Gazza's destruction into a display of resilience, achieving both symbolic and tactical gains while preventing Israel from claiming any political victory.

23 January 2025

The release of three Israeli female prisoners in Gaza by Hamas’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades, in exchange for 90 Palestinian detainees, triggered a media frenzy in the occupation state.

The dramatic “scene” – fighters emerging amidst the ruins of war, surrounded by a jubilant crowd – undermined official Israeli narratives about the war, its goals and the treatment of Israeli captives. It raised a sobering question for Israelis: What were we doing in Gazza for 15 months?

The Qassam Brigades orchestrated every detail of the event to maximize impact. From the branded gift bags to the polished uniforms of the fighters, the display exuded calculated precision.

A military procession was even held in Saraya Square – an area heavily besieged by Israeli occupation forces. The site’s selection was deliberate, showcasing continued resilience in a location meant to symbolize Tel Aviv's defeat in its longest military campaign ever. ...


https://x.com/warfareanalysis/status/1882556794826014780

For the second day, a joint operation by the Israeli army and the Palestinian Authority targeting the Jenin refugee camp has resulted in power and water outage, along with a siege imposed by both forces. As a result, 2,000 Palestinians have been displaced due to the brutal siege enforced by the PA and the Israeli army.

BREAKING

International Criminal Court seeks arrest warrant for Taliban Supreme Leader Akhundzada for violating women's rights.

Iran Observer

5:33 PM · Jan 23, 2025



Courtesy of ANC- African National Criminals. They are a disgrace. What can they look after? And our molvis rush to chant “Viva ANC.”

He doesn’t like “policy wonks” and reportedly “used salty language” when Israeli Fuhrer Benjamin Netanyahu tried to dodge a ceasefire meeting pleading it was the Sabbath, now US envoy to Arabia, Steve Witkoff, wants to oversee the peace deal “from the ground”.

His aides say the billionaire real estate developer and long-time golfing partner of Donald Trump plans to head to Palestine where he will reportedly join an inspection team that will visit the Netzarim and Philadelphia corridors in the devastated enclave.

How long Witkoff will keep his feet on the blood-soaked ground, however, remains to be seen.

One up on Genocide Joe

He says he’s determined to implement the ceasefire deal and get it to its next phase, which will be reconstruction and rehabilitation.

Trump want to go “one up” on his predecessor, Genocide Joe Biden, and wants to show the American public he can get his “normalization” deal between Nazi Israel and its neighbouring Arab states off the ground.

Riyadh, facing considerable pressure to show some kind of backbone in the strained relations with Washington, is insisting a viable Palestinian state must either be established or on an irrevocable path to statehood before it will sign any deal with Nazi Israel.

That’s despite clown prince Muhammad bin Salman notoriously telling Biden’s former foreign minister Antony Blinken he didn’t care for the Palestinian issue. Hamas’s traditional links to the Muslim Brotherhood are seen as a threat to the stability of the Saudi state.

So, Witkoff says he’s been given almost carte blanche by Trump to ensure Gaza gets to the next stage as soon as possible.

Given the scale of delinquent, Israeli devastation in Gaza, that may be a lot further off than Witkoff realises, some say it will take up to 350 years.

Mountain to climb

Trump has said he has doubts the deal with make it through to the next stage.

NPR reports Dima Toukan, a scholar at the Middle East Institute, says it's important to acknowledge that this last phase could be a long way off — or never happen at all. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/22/nx-s1-5262884/gaza-israel-reconstruction-war-palestinians

"The path forward beyond the first phase of the agreement is fraught with challenges and remains unclear," she says.

“The United Nations estimates that $50 billion will be required to rebuild Gaza, which occupies an area about the size of Philadelphia on the Mediterranean coast between Israel and Egypt. Even the rosiest of estimates project it would take a decade.

“But other predictions are much more dire. A U.N. report issued in September estimates $18.5 billion worth of damage was done to Gaza's infrastructure from the war's start through the end of January 2024, and that once a ceasefire is reached, "a return to the 2007–2022 growth trend would imply that it would take Gaza 350 years just to restore GDP to its level in 2022."

Witkoff says he hears the concerns, including Trump’s, but says he’s focussed on ensuring the deal stays on track.

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/trumps-middle-east-says-president-directed-him-get-gaza-ceasefire-next-phase

‘Normalization’ is the big prize

Middle East Eye reports Witkoff says he’s undeterred: “We have to make sure that the implementation goes well because if it goes well, we’ll get into phase two, and we’re going to get a lot more live bodies out," Witkoff said.

"And I think that that is what the president’s directive to me and everybody else working in the American government on this - that's his directive, and that's what we're going to do.

”My own opinion is that a condition precedent to normalisation was a ceasefire. We needed to get people believing again.”

Witkoff said normalisation could have a domino effect over the Middle East, with other countries following Saudi Arabia's move.

“Normalisation means the beginning of the end of war. It means the entire region becomes investable. It becomes financeable.”

It all sounds very good, like a real estate developer’s sales pitch. “Investable” and “financeable” may sound like good catchwords in Manhattan, but after 470 days of genocide, Gazans are focussed on other issues.

Bread-and-butter issues

Retrieving bodies trapped beneath the rubble, rather than the rubble itself, is their main concern right now.

"At least a million people won't have homes to return to," says Shelly Culbertson, a senior researcher at the ultra-right think tank RAND.

That’s a massive, horrific figure, but it also massively underestimates the size of the challenge. The UN says at least two million Gazans are homeless. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn8x00mgjxmo

Most utilities, such as electricity, sewage, water and communications are not working in Gaza, and the Zionazis have destroyed the vast majority of hospitals and schools.

Israel is even speaking of “taking over” the school curriculum to “deradicalize” Palestinian children, as though they can be educated out of remembering what they have just been through.

Sam Rose, acting director of Unrwa, the UN's Palestinian refugee agency in Gaza, said the aid supplies were just the beginning in the challenge of bringing the strip back to life.

"We're not just talking about food, healthcare, buildings, roads, infrastructure, we've got individuals, families, communities that need to be rebuilt," he said.

"The trauma that they've gone through, the suffering, the loss, the grief, the humiliation, and the cruelty that they've endured over the past 16 months - this is going to be a very, very long road."

It remains to be seen if Witkoff’s “deal-making abilities” will be enough to see it through to the end.






Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of murdered Libyan strongman, Muammar, has repeated claims he personally handed over $5million to intermediaries of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy to fund his successful presidential campaign.

Speaking to RFi, Saif al-Islam said he has made the allegations in 2018 to Judge Serge Tournaire who is heading the prosecution of Sarkozy in a French court for corruption.

"Sarkozy," Saif al-Islam says, "received $2.5 million from Libya to finance his electoral campaign" during the 2007 presidential election, in return for which Nicolas Sarkozy was to "conclude agreements and carry out projects in favor of Libya."

A second sum of 2.5 million dollars, also in cash, was given to the Sarkozy clan, according to him. Saif al-Islam Gaddafi did not specify when, but said that in return the Libyan authorities expected Nicolas Sarkozy to put an end to the affair of the Lockerbie air disaster that killed 170 people when a UTA DC10 crashed on top of the Scottish town in 1989.

The Libyans also wanted the names of six countrymen to be removed from the Interpol notice, including that of Abdullah Senussi, the head of the Libyan secret services and Gaddafi's brother-in-law.

Saif al-Islam claims that he himself offered this sum to the former French head of state in exchange for the end of the prosecution... and that he personally supervised the transmission of the money in cash.

He said the suitcases of money were given to Claude Guéant, then Nicolas Sarkozy's chief of staff. "The money," he says, "was passed on to him by Bashir Saleh," Muammar Gaddafi's former treasurer and his confidant, who is also a defendant in the case. It was through the intermediary, says Gaddafi's son, of Alexandre Djouhri, a businessman of Algerian origin.

According to Saif al-Islam, this money was then placed in a bank account in Geneva.

He recounted the notorious scene - originally reported by Bashir Saleh, a co-defendant in the Sarkozy case - which, he said, "made everyone present laugh": Claude Guéant, France’s Minister of the Interior, had such difficulty closing a suitcase full of dollars and that he had no option but to climb on top of the bulging bag to do so. Guéant still denies his involvement.

Saif al-Islam claimed that during the meeting held on 6 October 2005 in Tripoli under Gaddafi's tent, Sarkozy and Gaddafi discussed financial support in the French presidential election. He claimed the support "resulted in the payment of 2.5 million euros".

He added: "This is why Nicolas Sarkozy sent his chief of staff, Claude Guéant, to receive the money. Guéant then returned to France with 2.5 million euros in cash.

Saif al-Islam also claimed the former French president has exerted pressure on him repeatedly to change his testimony in court.

The first attempt to persuade him to change his testimony was made in 2021 when he was asked to "deny everything that is said about Libyan support for Sarkozy for the elections". In return, his case before the International Criminal Court would disappear.

Saif al-Islam is still wanted by the court for his role in countering forces that eventually led to his father’s downfall and disgrace.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi also claims an Ivorian, Noel Dubus approached Hannibal Gaddafi, his younger brother, who had been imprisoned for several years in Lebanon.

Saif al-Islam says Dubus went to Beirut and assured Hannibal of his release, if Saif al-Islam Gaddafi would change his testimony in favor of Sarkozy. Hannibal, the youngest son ofGaddafi, has been in prison in Beirut since 2015 in connection with the case of the disappearance of Moussa el-Sadr, a senior Lebanese cleric last seen in Libya in August 1978. Lebanon is still demanding information about his disappearance from Tripoli.

Saif al-Islam says he "categorically refused" all these requests. He provided no proof but several witnesses in the Sarkozy case claim they have been threatened.

Sarkozy's lawyer, Christophe Ingrain, said the claims were "not only fanciful, but also very opportunistic." These statements, Ingrain said, "come as the trial has just begun. They come from someone who, since the beginning of the trial, for ten years, has been putting forward accusations that are not supported by anything, that are not confirmed by anything." And the lawyer continues: "For ten years he has promised to hand over documents that would confirm these accusations. To date, nothing has been postponed to the proceedings. So for me these accusations are simply fanciful boasting and have no importance."

Saif al-Islam also claimed Nicolas Sarkozy, then Minister of the Interior, personally contacted Abdallah Senussi, the former Libyan Minister of the Interior, on the occasion of his visit to Libya in 2005 and that he promised him that he would remove his name from the Interpol list as soon as he was elected president.

The son of the "Libyan Guide" assures that recordings of this telephone conversation exist and are still in Senussi's possession. He specifies that all this was reported in 2018 to Judge Tournaire in charge of the case.

On several occasions, Libyan dignitaries have claimed that recordings and documents exist, but to date, the French justice system has not had access to any of them.

• Saif al-Islam has repeatedly expressed his desire to run in Libya's presidential election, but these elections have never taken place since the fall of his father. He was imprisoned in Zentan in November 2011 for his role in the repression of the Libyan people and threats against insurgents. He was released in June 2017 under a general amnesty, but some in Libya are still calling for the death penalty against him. Since then, he has lived in Zentan and moved to southern Libya, where he enjoys the support of the tribes. He is still under an arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes, but Libya does not intend to hand him over. His lawyers consider that the fact that he was tried in his country does not allow the ICC to try him a second time on the same grounds. The prosecutor of this body, Karim Khan, who was his lawyer in the past, continues to demand his extradition.

STOP MJC, SANHA, NIHT AND ICSA FROM CERTIFYING AMERICAN ZIONIST FOOD COMPANIES

Started

5 January 2025

Why this petition matters

Started by Kevin Jeffrey

We are deeply bound by our faith and the welfare of our fellow Muslims, hence this issue is of utmost importance to us that Muslim spiritual leaders should cut all ties with American Zionist companies, and immediately stop giving Zionists Halaal stamps of approval.

We have realized that numerous Zionist companies, despite their actions leading to the loss of innocent Muslim lives, are being permitted to stamp their products as 'Halaal.'

This goes against the very essence of what it means for something to be truly Halaal.

It is not just about the nature of the product, but also the ethics of the company producing it and what is being done with the profits by those companies.

According to the Halaal Food Authority, the concept of Halaal emphasizes not just the product, but also the minutest details in the process of its production such as sourcing, procuring, processing and handling. Any action causing harm to human life is considered Haraam.

Therefore, it is in direct conflict when Zionist companies, which are involved in detrimental activities against Muslim lives, are certified to label their products as Halaal.

Muslim consumers have a right to know the ethos of the companies they purchase from, and it's about time that we demand transparency and ethical consideration in Halaal certifications.

It is our right to be assured that our religious practices are not supporting those who harm us.

It's time to heed this call to review the Halaal certification procedures to make sure they align with our faith, ethics and values.

Please, sign the petition. Stand with us to stop American Zionist companies from being certified Halaal.

MJC, SANHA, ICSA and NIHT are all guilty of certifying Zionist companies that are enabling the Genocide in Gazza and other war torn regions.

If you are really Muslims and have an atom's weight of Faith and Emaan, then you will not ignore the great importance of this petition.

Don't say and pretend that you care for Palestinians, but you can't sign a simple petition.

None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim].

The Lowest Level of Iman

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever amongst you sees evil, let him change it with his hand. If he cannot do so, then with his tongue.

If he cannot do so, then he should detest it with his heart - and that is the weakest level of faith.” [Muslim]

We have been witnessing atrocities occurring in Palestine over the last century, not only since October 7th 2023.

Millions have been displaced, killed, tortured, imprisoned and massacred.

Many of us cannot help the Palestinians physically. However, we are able to speak up and stand up for justice.

Let us offer our full support to the Palestinians who have been oppressed and help them in any way possible.

REMEMBER WHEN... RADIO ISLAM ACTUALLY HAD PRINCIPLES?

A REMINDER:

PRESS STATEMENT

Released by:

RADIO ISLAM

Last updated: January 05, 1998

The ruling of the BMCC on the complaint lodged by Yield (a Splinter Muslim organisation) who lacks a mandate from the Muslim community against Radio Islam, is indeed regrettable and highly sensitive.

The BMCC has directed that Radio Islam makes available at least three hours of air time to women presenters every day and to secure that no less than one third of every committee includes women fully.

Radio Islam is dedicated to Islamic principles and under no circumstances is it prepared to betray Islam and the Muslim community it aspires to serve.

It will not be compelled to violate the Qurãnic and Islamic Hijaab laws.

Our position will necessarily mean a sacrifice in upholding the laws of Allah.

Finally, the general perception that our much publicised constitution provides 'supposed' religious freedom is everything a farce.

No right is absolute in conflict with the Bill of Rights. (The whole truth and nothing but the truth)

They have not taken into account the petition signed by 28 000 women and [several] organisations who have pledged their support for Radio Islam and its broadcast policies.

On our stand against the ruling of the BMCC, we are confident that we enjoy your (the listeners') support.

For you is your Deen and for us is ours.

AH! THOSE WERE THE DAYS...

SINCE THEN, RADIO ISLAM HAS BETRAYED EVERY PRINCIPLE IT PROMISED TO UPHOLD:

IT BETRAYED ISLAM BY BETRAYING ALLAHU TA'ALA AND NABI MUHAMMAD ﷺ

IT BETRAYED THE SCHOLARS WHO MENTORED ITS MANAGERS AND PRESENTERS

AND

IT BETRAYED 'THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY IT ASPIRES TO SERVE'.

Damascus authorities terminate Russian contract for Tartus port

23 January 2025

The new Syrian authorities are reportedly working to boost commercial activity at the port by cutting customs fees by 60%.

Syria's transitional government has taken a decisive step to reduce Russian influence by cancelling a long-standing contract with a Russian company managing the Tartus port.

Riyad Judi, director of the customs department in Tartus, confirmed the development to al-Watan newspaper on Monday, noting that the revenues from the port would now go entirely to the Syrian state.

The agreement, originally signed in 2019 under Bashar Assad's government, granted the Russian firm Stroytransgaz control over the port for 49 years. In return, the company would invest $500 million in the port, keeping 65% of the profits while the Syrian government retained the remaining 35%.

The Tartus port, Syria's second-largest after Latakia, is a critical Mediterranean hub with a capacity of four million tons annually and home to Russia's only naval base in the region.

Established in 1971 by the Soviet Union and later expanded in 2017, the base has served as a strategic outpost for Russian military operations in the Middle East. ...

Future of Russian Military Bases

The fate of Russia's military bases in Syria—Tartus and Khmeimim—remains uncertain.

Reports suggest Russia has redeployed some assets to other Middle Eastern locations, including Libya, following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad.

Despite this, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov has noted that Moscow remains in contact with Syria's transitional government to ensure the continued operation of its bases and broader cooperation.

Russian officials have underscored the strategic importance of their presence in Syria, citing the Tartus naval base and Khmeimim airbase as critical assets for regional stability and counterterrorism operations.

Bogdanov has reiterated that Russia's military presence will not be abandoned and remains essential to its broader geopolitical goals in the Middle East.

- The technical administration of the crossing is handled by Gazzan employees who are unaffiliated with Hamas. These individuals have been managing civilian matters in the Gazza Strip, such as water and electricity, since the beginning of the war. Oversight of their work is conducted by international forces.

Nearly 20,000 people were ordered to flee an area north of Los Angeles on Wednesday after a fast-moving wildfire exploded, growing to more than 8,000 acres within hours, officials said.

Another 15,000 people were under evacuation warnings after the Hughes Fire erupted at 10:53 a.m. Wednesday near the community of Castaic in northern Los Angeles County, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

The blaze had scorched 8,096 acres by Wednesday afternoon, according to fire officials.

We strongly condemn the US administration’s designation of the Yemeni AnsarAllah movement as a terrorist organization due to its support for the Palestinian people.

The Yemeni forces' support of Gazza is the most honorable and noble military intervention to stop the genocide against a defenseless, besieged people while the world failed to do so.

The new American decision against the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement is a badge of honor and evidence that it is on the right path.

Those who should be included on the terrorist list are Netanyahu, his army and his criminal government, against whom decisions have been issued by the International Criminal Court.

Resistance Uncovers Israeli Spy Devices Hidden in Gazza – Reports

January 22, 2025

Palestinian Resistance engineers in Gazza uncover Israeli surveillance devices hidden in power banks and hospital equipment, turning the tables on espionage efforts.

Engineers from the Palestinian Resistance security apparatus in Gazza have uncovered concealed surveillance equipment planted by Israeli forces before their withdrawal from Gazza City.

Citing the Al-Hares security platform, Al-Jazeera reported that a sophisticated intelligence operation revealed camouflaged spying components embedded in power bank phone chargers.

Al-Hares described the devices found today as a significant intelligence asset, stating that they would support vital Resistance projects and turn Israeli plans into opportunities to strengthen the Resistance.

Earlier reports confirmed the seizure of spy equipment within a Gazza hospital, which had been used to monitor civilian movements for potential targeting.

Last December, Palinfo reported that the Palestinian Resistance security agency had seized Israeli spy devices in a hospital in Gazza City.

According to Palinfo, at the time, a security official revealed that he received information from a citizen of an abnormal “building stone” in one of the hospitals in Gazza, which had been previously stormed by Israeli forces.

After inspecting the room, it was discovered that the “building stone” had been specially reshaped to hide a spy device connected to another device inside the hospital’s perimeter, which was equipped with a hidden camera.

Resistance Fighters Warned amid Ceasefire

In light of the recent ceasefire agreement, Al-Hares issued security advisories to Resistance fighters.

It emphasized heightened caution, noting that Israeli forces were gathering intelligence to update their target database.

The platform urged Resistance members to avoid leaving critical positions without adhering to strict security measures and to refrain from using unsafe communication methods to prevent detection. ...

A commission in Bangladesh investigating enforced disappearances, carried out during the tenure of now-deposed Sheikh Hasina, revealed that children and babies were held in secret jails alongside their mothers, suffering psychological torture.

At least half a dozen children spent months in black site jails with their mothers, the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances said in its preliminary report, saying babies were even used as leverage during interrogations, by denying them milk.

The commission said one witness showed investigators the room in the detention site she had been held in as a child with her mother, run by the paramilitary Rapid Action Battalion's (RAB). "Her mother never returned", the report read.

In another incident, a couple and their baby were detained, with the child starved of mother's milk "as a form of psychological torture" to pressure the father.

Bangladesh has issued arrest warrants including some on charges of crimes against humanity for Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India in August 2024 after she was toppled by a student-led revolution.

Israeli forces acknowledge heavy losses in Gazza battles

22 January 2025

The actual number of Israeli military casualties during this period may be higher than officially reported.

A spokesperson for the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Wednesday acknowledged that "the Givati Brigade lost 86 soldiers and commanders who fell in the defensive battles on October 7th and in combat in the Gazza Strip."

This revelation comes following the implementation of a ceasefire in the Gazza Strip, which took effect last Sunday.

As part of the ceasefire agreement, a significant military force from the Givati Brigade withdrew from northern Gazza.

The IOF has suffered substantial losses due to Resistance operations in the region. According to the latest figures, the army has reported the deaths of 841 officers and soldiers since the onset of the war, 405 of whom died during the October 7 operation alone.

It is important to note that the IOF has been known to withhold or underreport casualty figures, citing "military censorship" for security reasons. As a result, the actual number of Israeli military casualties during this period may be [exponentially] higher than officially reported.

Statistics released in November provide additional insight into the scale of these losses. The report revealed that 192 Israeli officers had been killed in the war, with "1 in 4 fallen officers being a commander."

These casualties included:

67 platoon commanders,

63 company commanders,

20 deputy Company commanders,

7 deputy battalion commanders,

5 battalion commanders and

4 brigade commanders.

○ "During the past few days, we were able to bring some ground-based and guided explosive devices into service, and the bombing of military jeeps in Qabatiya and Tamoun were just messages of what awaits the enemy’s leaders and soldiers in the streets and alleys of the camps in the West Bank."

○ "Our fighters were able to form operations rooms to coordinate field work and develop joint work with the fighters of the Qassam Brigades and the fighters of the Youth of Revenge and Liberation. The hotel operation in Qalqilya was a message to the enemy and friend that our hands reach everywhere."

○ "The [Palestinian] Authority's apparatuses continue, in turns with the enemy forces, to storm some towns and besiege our wounded fighters in villages, towns, medical centers and hospitals, and are trying to arrest them to make the task easier for the enemy army, which will only give them a black image in front of the sacrifices of our people."

○ "We assure our people that our fighters are fine and their morale is high, and that the army that failed to draw a picture of victory in front of the Gazza fighters will not achieve it in the West Bank, and that the cities of the West Bank and the alleys of the camps will only bring coffins for its army leaders and soldiers."

Muhammad Amin

Zionazi Israel, obviously concerned that it global reputation for genocide is being tarnished by a lack of bloodletting after signing a ceasefire agreement in Gaza two days ago, is now attacking Jenin in the West Bank.

It has killed at least seven civilians and wounded 35 others in anther vaingloriously named atrocity - "Operation Iron Wall".

The quisling Palestinian Authority withdrew its mercenaries that had been ineffectually terrorising the city and refugee camp for the past month as soon as Israel's professional rapists and killers arrived.

Hospitals the main target

The first thing the Zionazis did was of course the attack the city’s two main hospitals, Al-Amal and Jenin Government Hospital

Witnesses told Middle East Eye the Israeli assault began with special forces infiltrating the Jabriyat neighbourhood, located east of the city. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-launches-major-iron-wall-assault-jenin-days-after-gaza-ceasefire

Shortly after, warplanes bombed a vehicle outside Jenin's refugee camp, killing the driver, and then began firing heavy guns at point blank range at targets within the city and the camp.

Armed clashes also erupted between Palestinian fighters and the Lawnmowers.

"There are bodies in the streets, and many people are injured, but no one can reach them. Ambulances can't move due to the intense and sudden assault," a eyewitness said.

A doctor and a paramedic at Jenin's al-Amal Hospital were among those wounded,

Ambulances came under gunfire while trying to reach the wounded, he said, and their access to several neighbourhoods was blocked after Israeli military vehicles were stationed at key entrances.

Settlers drunk on Trump

"It's very likely there are other casualties we're unaware of, given the widespread violence and the inability to move freely within the city," Masarwa said.

Whatever the “reason” behind the latest in-plain-sight atrocity, the Lawnmowers were clearly cock-a-hoop after Donald Trump confirmed his Zionazi credentials by cancelling all sanctions against Israel’s notorious settlers who have waged a reign of terror against the West Bank.

Critics said the sanctions had been a joke anyway – more a kind of green light inviting the settlers intensify their atrocities because the worst sanction they faced was not being allowed to visit the US for their holidays.

Trump even invited several settler “leaders” to his inauguration Monday.

Israeli Fuhrer Benjamin Netanyahu gloated freely over the new rash of bloodletting, saying the Gaza ceasefire had given his stormtroopers the freedom to turn their genocidal eyes on the West Bank, describing it as “another step towards achieving the goal we set – strengthening security in Judea and Samaria”.

The Palestinian Health Ministry says about 800 civilians have been killed by the Zionazis in the wake of Al-Aqsa Flood.

The Guardian reports Israeli settlers have set vehicles and properties on fire in Palestinian villages that are home to dozens of Palestinian prisoners who were released in Sunday’s exchange for three Israeli hostages.

Journalist Sana Kajak - Specialist in Israeli affairs

An eyewitness account of communication between a hostage and Al Qassam Mujahid.

One day on January 19, 2025 at exactly 8:30 am on Saturday...this is how our future generations will tell about it...

This day with its unusually bright golden sun because /January/ is the month of storms, cold and snow But even the sun celebrated with us!

Celebrating the great victory of the people of Gaza, dignity...Gaza Al-Sinwar...Gaza of sacrifices...

May the kindness of the sons of Qassam last...may the politeness of the sons of "Abu Ibrahim" last...may the terror of the sons of "Al-Daif" last!

The three female prisoners prepared to leave, and the observer of the scenes "deeply" does not conclude that they want to leave!!

"Seriously"!!!

They wore their colorful sportswear and I don't know where the Qassam Brigades bought it for them in the midst of war, killing and destruction?

But it seems that the leadership of the "Brigades of Glory" has prepared even the clothes! Oh my God, what precision in organization and preparation!

The necklaces decorated with the Palestinian flag were wrapped around the necks of the female prisoners and this scene has a thousand meanings!! It occupied the Hebrew media more than the female prisoners themselves...

The Zionist prisoner said to him:

O Qassam... Will you free me from my chains?? I don't want to be freed from you!!

The Green Hero was surprised by her words... He replied:

Yes... You should return to your home... It is not our nature to violate agreements...

She replied: Tell me the secret of this friendship. You give me your "souvenir",.. and I am your enemy?

He replied politely: Yes... This is what our religion teaches..

She whispered to him:

You were so merciful to us while our army killed your children, elderly and young men?

It committed genocide against your people... How is this? And you... you...

Protect me...Feed me...Give me water...Give me a gift!! And a certificate, "Graduate" from captivity, I see it as the most important certificate in my life!

The Qassam fighter answered her calmly:

The religion of Islam taught us that we must honor the prisoner and treat him well... Like a guest...

The Zionist prisoner looked at him, amazed by these high morals

And said:

Who are you, brave men? Who are you, honorable ones? What kind of human nature are you?

The green resistance fighter repeated:

We are the sons of proud Gaza, which your army was unable to defeat.!!. We are the guardians of Palestine, the cause whose land your ancestors occupied..!.

We are the makers of freedom, which I will give you today!

I looked into his eyes... Our honorable hero is masked as you know... He turned his face away from her... The eyes are shy... Also...

She whispered to him:

What if I wanted to stay with you here in Gaza??

I know you will say I've gone crazy!!

I will continue to eat your "Gaza" food, which by the way was one of the most delicious foods...

And your water has another taste... I don't know?

This is how I tasted it...one of the "best" things I have ever drunk... And I chatted with the sisters... And I told them stories about the cowardly soldiers of our army!

The Qassam smiled from under his mask and answered her:

As for staying, I think you are in a state of delirium... And you are asking for the impossible! Or have you forgotten who you are??

And who are we?!!

And we do not break promises... And about food and drink... I will give you a little of it to taste on the way back... And sprinkle drops of "Gaza" water when you reach occupied Jaffa "Tel Aviv" so that a beautiful rose may grow on it In a corner I pick it in the second flood season!!

She smiled a broad smile at the green Qassam and then she said happily:

Is there a flood for another season??

Our free hero was surprised by her joy!!!

He wanted to send signals in a diplomatic manner that the second flood, like the resurrection, will liberate Palestine and every inch of it!!

⚡🇵🇸🇮🇱JUST IN: Where is the outrage at the treatment of Palestinian hostages held by Israel?

The freed Palestinians hostage Rula Hassanein from Bethlehem:

"The tragic situation that the female prisoners live in is truly difficult. There have been significant violations by the prison administration in their treatment of female detainees. Many of these instances cannot even be mentioned in the media due to their sensitive nature, particularly concerning women in general.

For example, we were not provided with basic necessities such as nail clippers. They were prohibited for over 3–4 months, and we would resort to cutting our nails using our teeth.

We were also denied access to items like hair combs, so we would use plastic forks to brush our hair.

All supplies available to the prisoners were confiscated, including clothing, through constant repression, repeated inspections, and strip searches that happened to many female detainees. Even different types of hijabs were taken away.

The tragic situation I personally experienced as a breastfeeding mother was indescribable. I left my daughter when she was only 9 months old. It was an extremely difficult situation that cannot be described—there is no language that can express the feelings of a mother separated from her baby.

When I was arrested, I asked them to allow me to bring my infant daughter with me because she was still breastfeeding and heavily reliant on me. She was born prematurely by almost two months and was in a fragile health condition, but they denied my request.

Despite receiving several court decisions granting me release due to my situation, the military courts insisted on prolonging my detention."

Alleged "terror financier" and Sandton resident Ziyadh Hoorzook looks more like a sacrificial lamb headed for a foregone, ritualistic execution than an accused in a court case as his trial next week in Lichtenburg approaches.

South Africa's white media is all agog, as they breathlessly remind South Africa's authorities - who have had the temerity to accuse US poster boy Israel of genocide - that a successful prosecution will almost guarantee the country's removal from one of the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) "grey lists" for not preventing dodgy, cross-border financial transactions.

It's like Hoorzook is being set up as the perfect patsy in a game intended to ensure South Africa falls back into line along with other nations fearful of western sanctions who don't mind compromising their legal processes if it will guarantee them access to Western finance.

Hoorzook (35) is accused of shipping Bitcoin worth R11 500 to a Syrian-based organisation, identified only as "Al-Sadaqah", in 2017 - three years before it was supposedly exposed in the US as a "terror organisation".

"The case – set to be heard in the Lichtenburg Magistrate’s Court in North West on Wednesday 22 January – is seen as a test of South Africa’s commitment to removing itself from the grey list imposed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) two years ago," Moneyweb reports.

It headlined its story: "Joburg man’s terror financing case using crypto is a test for the FIC (Financial Intelligence Centre)". Its strap headline reads: "Due to be heard next week, the case is an opportunity to show that SA is serious about removing itself from the grey list".

"The court case underscores South Africa’s evolving response to terrorist financing conducted via cryptocurrency. A successful prosecution would enhance the country’s prospects for removal from the FATF’s greylist," Daily Maverick South Africa is reminding its readers.

It seems Hoorzook's case isn't so much about his guilt as it is about trying to put pressure on South African authorities and the government.

Intelligence "sources", unnamed and unidentified, have full access to the white media's preparatory coverage. Hoorzook's R11 500 is just "the tip of the iceberg" the Zionazi SA Jewish Report is revealing. Apparently, South Africa is awash with Muslim terror financiers.

"The case of a Sandton man accused of using Bitcoin to finance terrorist activities has highlighted South Africa’s escalating security threat, experts warned this week," the SAJR claims.

Until Hoorzook's arrest, South Africa's was negotiating with the FATF for removal from the grey list of countries that appear to be flagging in their efforts to crack down on cross-border transactions linked to corruption.

Moneyweb wrote in September South Africa was on schedule to meet international standards to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, "and could be removed from the international Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) so-called grey list by February 2025".

The FIC said South Africa was ticking all the right boxes, thanks mainly to amendments it made to the General Laws (Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Financing) Amendment Act.

The FIC noted approvingly the government was tackling corruption and had notched up a few notable victories, claiming it contributed to the recovery of R98.5 million in criminal proceeds during the year to end March 2024.

Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana noted in his foreword to the FIC's September report "that the goal is to achieve full compliance with FATF standards by the February 2025 target and to exit the grey list".

So, it seems there's a lot more riding on Hoorzook's R11 500 donation than his actual innocence or guilt. Could it be that unmentionable, western "advisers" are suggesting a guilty finding may all that is needed to tip the FATF scales in South Africa's favour?

Whatever the hints and contents of confidential "demarche" attaché cases western diplomats may be feeding their South African counterparts, Hoorzook's eventual guilt or innocence will turn, not on findings in court cases in the US, or listings on opaque "watch lists", but on Hoorzook's actual state of mind, and whether he acted with criminal intent at the time - three years before Al-Sadaqah was found in the US to be a terror organisation.

Police say he had speeches by Osama bin Laden and other documents about ISIS and other "Yankee Jihadi" outfits on his devices.

This writer also access and occasionally downloads such documents simply in the interests of informing myself about developments in global Islam. It doesn't mean I want to blow up someone.

According to US authorities, Al-Sadaqah is used to finance weapons purchases and forms part of Al-Qaeda’s network of fundraising organisations (which also include the Pentagon and the White House, a fact "US authorities" tend to gloss over).

South African police have told the SAJR that pictures on Hoorzook's devices included one from Al-Sadaqah showing clearly it was channelling funds to buy weapons for "the jihad".

Two presumed "jihadis" are shown holding up a banner with the words clearly emblazoned for all to see: "Supporting the mujahideen in Syria with weapons, financial aid and other projects assisting the jihad".

That seems pretty much a slam-dunk QED. The only problem is the picture is from 2018, a year AFTER Hoorzook made his donation, lawyers who are close to the case have told Markaz Sahaba.

Also, the term "jihad" has many meanings. As Americans are fond to point out when it suits them - One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

Western governments leaned over backwards to facilitate the flow of eager jihadis to the maelstrom that became Syria from 2013. America has even taken some of them under its own wings in north-eastern Syria where they have served as a convenient thorn in the side of the Assad regime, despite Turkish complaints they are supporting terrorists.

So, the state's case is a far-from-watertight one. Until Hoorzook's sudden arrest a week ago, the government was focussing on "ordinary", corrupt transfers of money that clearly form the rump of their investigations.

The R98million the FIC has helped recover clearly shows where the focus of their investigations should be.

Now, it seems South Africa's "rehabilitation" with the FATF will hinge on the successful prosecution of a R11 500 donation made by a private citizen.

A lot is at stake - South Africa's reputation with bankers versus the independence of its judiciary.

It remains to be seen which virtue Pretoria will prize more.


Alameen Templeton

Even Gazans themselves are astonished Monday at the depth and breadth of Zionazi depravity as they freely wander through shattered buildings and devastated neighbourhoods where "American democracy" has left its familiar mark after 15 months of unrelenting genocide.

Gaza bears all the hallmarks of the Pentagon's "Genocide Chic" that adorned other cities left devastated in the wake of American hubris. Like Sirte, its buildings are honeycombed with bullet and shrapnel holes; like Homs, the streets in many areas are completely empty, devoid of life where everything is covered in a blanket of grey ash; like Fallujah, the air is thick with the cloying smell of decomposing bodies trapped beneath the rubble; like Raqqa; like Benghazi, Kabul, Kandahar, Tripoli and every miserable village, mud hovel, scrap of desert and corner of corner of forgotten oilfield, the Real Holocaust has taken its toll.

The Real Holocaust

As Markaz Sahaba pointed out in October, https://markazsahaba.com/2024/11/22/the-real-holocaust-22-5million-muslim-deaths-and-no-ones-counting/ Brown University estimated in May last year, America's "War Against Terror" - unleashed in 2001 - had exterminated at least 4.5 million Muslims in direct and indirect deaths.

That is a minimum figure, based on a collation of verifiable death tolls arising from America's genocide adventurism in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan that had turned at least 38million people into refugees.

Four and a half million dead Muslims was the minimum figure Brown Unversity could come to, using minimum multiple of three times direct deaths. Demographers typically multiply direct war deaths up to a maximum of 15, implying the real death toll could be in excess of 22.5million, dwarfing Hitler's "Practice Holocaust" in World War Two.

So, the Zionazis are even worse than Hitler and the entire Third Reich when it comes to genocide. And they cemented their reputation into the annals of world history in just 15 blood-soaked months.

At least the Hitlerian Nazis tried to hide their crimes; the Netanyahu Nazis bragged about theirs openly and in plain sight on social media for the duration.

But they save the turtles

And still they pontificate about "justice" and compassion as they strive hard to believe they're still the "good guys".

As Palestinian poet Mostafa Ibrahim says in his poem "Telk Qadeya" (That's a cause): "They save turtles; they kill human animals. That's a cause (and this is not)."

Hundreds of millions of "White angels" in Europe, America, Australia, Israel, South Africa and Ukraine continued to believe throughout the entire passage of Gaza extermination that they're saving the planet and doing good, Mostafa observes.

Just as they whitewashed Srebrenica from their memories, so now they are too preparing to forget Gaza's misery and to save turtles in the Red Sea instead. That is a cause; Gaza is not.

And Gaza seems doomed to remain, like the rest of the blighted region of Sham, a pawn on an international chessboard.

As Al-Akhbar notes Monday, Gazans are experiencing contradictory emotions Monday as they stumble through the ruins of their lives, their dreams, their memories, their homes. Everyone is of course relieved the genocide has paused.

But there is little space for joy. The crushing press of detritus that bobs and dances in genocide's wake leaves no room for celebration; death remains a close and constant companion.

No war planes, killer drones or assassination quadcopters are weaving the skies and ground below with death - for now. But the cloying smell of putrefaction is everywhere. It assails the nostrils and makes itself at home in the back of throats that are hoarse from weeping, pleading and just gasping desperately for life, for just another day, desperately hoping someone was coming to help.

But the "international community" was away saving turtles.

Home is where the heart is

Palestinians vacating their bombed-out tent camps are horrified, speechless, at what they see of their old neighbourhoods - Rafah, Jabalia, Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, Saftawi, Al-Fallujah, Bir al-Naja, Gaza City - are just piles of crushed and tumbled concrete. Most have tried to eke out a precarious existence for over a year in the camps, not knowing what is happening beyond the camp perimeter.

Now, full horror of what they have endured is starting to dawn on horrified faces.

Al-Akhbar reports not one home remains standing in the entire northern Gaza; tens of thousands of home are just crumpled rubble.

“It took me two hours to find the street where my house used to be,” Umm Muhammad Matar says, sitting on the remains of her home.

“Since the beginning of the war, they haven’t left us alone for a single month,” she tells Al-Akhbar.

“Their last invasion was revenge on us because we stood firm, were patient, and defied them. My house and all the houses of the people were gone, and everyone became homeless. But we stayed alive, and the living will be rebuilt. This land is precious, and it is mixed with the blood of our martyred sons. We will hold on to it and love it even more.”

In the Beit Lahia project, the occupation army turned the crowded neighborhood into a concrete junkyard, with nothing to see on the horizon but pulverised ruins that crush the soul.

Planned, systematic destruction

Abu Amjad, who Al-Akhbar met while he was busy cleaning one of the rooms in the house that was spared destruction, said, “The destruction is beyond our capacity, uncle,” adding, “We are not talking about just destroying a house or even several houses, nor about destroying a residential block and damaging other houses. What happened was systematic destruction, according to a plan to turn the neighborhood and all the neighborhoods in the northern Gaza Strip into areas unfit for human habitation.

"What is more, the occupation wants the displaced to be unable to reclaim even one room in their homes, and even to not find a place to set up a tent, because removing this rubble requires the effort and expertise of major countries and a political decision.”

The UN estimated in December 69% of all buildings in Gaza had been damaged or destroyed. If Gaza remains under the Zionazi siege, it will take more than 350 years to clear it, ABC News reports https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-20/palestinians-return-home-to-gaza-amid-the-arrival-of-aid-trucks-/104836872#:~:text=Using%20satellite%20data%2C%20the%20United,remained%20under%20an%20Israeli%20blockade.

More than 630 trucks of humanitarian aid have entered the Gaza Strip, following the ceasefire deal. Tom Fletcher, the United Nations under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said that at least 300 of the trucks were sent directly to the north.

When "late" is "never"

“There is no time to lose,” Fletcher wrote, rather unnecessarily. It's a truism Joe Biden's administration should have realised 15 months ago.

Hospital wards across Gaza are dark and empty. If they had supplies, if the Lawnmowers hadn't killed doctors, nurses, ambulance and paramedics with all the precision needed to destroy Gaza's entire health infrastructure, they would still not function because there's no fuel. Most have had none for many months.

Getting water, food and medical supplies to children in Gaza is the first priority for many aid organisations.

Nearly all 1.1 million children in Gaza – about half of the population – are in urgent need of attention, with many surviving on just one meal a day after 15 months of war.

Inger Ashing, chief executive officer for Save the Children International, said the ceasefire had to be permanent; a pause in fighting was not enough to combat hunger and disease "as the shadow of famine looms."

"The pause must be permanent, and efforts urgently ramped up to end the siege and vastly increase the entry of aid," Ashing said, AP/Reuters reporthttps://www.aap.com.au/news/humanitarian-aid-priority-as-gaza-ceasefire-welcomed/.

Australia Palestine Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni said there was a sense of relief but Palestinians didn’t trust Israel’s word.

“Israel needs to be held accountable by the international community … international law must apply,” he said.

Searching for lost loved ones

“Gaza is an apocalypse zone, the UN estimates it will take 15 years to clear the rubble.

“The fact that the world has allowed it to go on for this long is shameful and history will judge those leaders very poorly.”

Al-Akhbar says the loss of homes is not the biggest pain Gazans are dealing with Monday. Tens of thousands of displaced people have returned to search for loved ones, or for their remains and bodies.

Tariq Abu al-Tarabish, who lost all his family members, could not find anything to say, as he surveyed the desolate remains of what was once home in Beit Lahia.

"Whose house will it be anyway? All of its people are gone.”

His entire family refused to leave Beit Lahia and were killed in an airstrike that targeted their home. No ambulance was able to reach them. The grieving young man added: “Right now, their pure bodies are under the roof of the house. All the houses in the north are graves for their people. Those who refused to leave and be displaced were all killed."

Billionaires’ wealth grows by $2 trillion in 2024

20 January 2025

Wealth grew three times faster in 2024 compared to 2023, an Oxfam inequality report reveals.

The world’s billionaires increased their wealth by $2 trillion (£1.64 trillion) in 2024, growing three times faster than in 2023.

This equates to $5.7 billion (£4.7 billion) gained daily, according to Oxfam’s latest inequality report, Takers Not Makers.

The report warns that the global economic system is enabling this rapid accumulation of wealth while nearly half the world’s population remains in poverty.

Oxfam projects that the world could have five trillionaires within the next decade—a sharp rise from its earlier forecast of one trillionaire in the same period.

The report was released as global leaders, corporate executives, and the ultra-wealthy gather at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

It also coincides with Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president, where he is expected to appoint billionaires as advisors, including Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and introduce substantial tax breaks for America’s richest citizens.

A troubling disparity

Oxfam highlights a troubling disparity: While billionaire wealth skyrocketed, the number of people living below the World Bank poverty line of $6.85 a day remains stagnant at 3.6 billion—44% of the global population.

Extreme poverty disproportionately affects women, with one in ten living on less than $2.15 a day, meaning 24.3 million more women than men endure such conditions.

Progress in poverty reduction has stalled, and Oxfam asserts that reducing inequality could triple the pace of eradicating extreme poverty.

The UK leads the G7 nations in billionaire wealth concentration.

Wealth among UK billionaires rose by £35 million daily to £182 billion in 2024, adding four new billionaires: Mark Dixon of IWG, Sunder Genomal of Page Industries,

Donald Mackenzie of CVC, and Jim Thompson of Crown Worldwide.

Globally, the number of billionaires grew by 204 in 2024, reaching 2,769.

Their collective wealth soared from $13 trillion to $15 trillion, marking the second-largest annual increase on record.

The 10 richest men saw their wealth grow by an average of $100 million per day. Even if they lost 99% of their fortunes, they would remain billionaires.

Dive deeper

Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and now worth $219.4 billion, dominates online retail in Europe, while Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest person with $11 billion, holds a cement monopoly across the continent.

Oxfam’s analysis indicates that 60% of billionaire wealth comes from inheritance, cronyism and corruption, or monopolistic practices, with 18% derived solely from monopoly power.

Oxfam’s inequality policy lead, Anna Marriott, stated, “Last year we predicted the first trillionaire could emerge within a decade, but this shocking acceleration of wealth means that the world is now on course for at least five.

The global economic system is broken, wholly unfit for purpose, as it enables and perpetuates this explosion of riches, while nearly half of humanity continues to live in poverty.”

She urged governments, including the UK, to adopt economic policies aimed at reducing inequality through higher taxation on the super-rich.

Marriott emphasized, "Huge sums of money could be raised, to tackle inequality here in the UK and overseas and provide crucial investment for our public services.

For the first time, with the groundbreaking G20 agreement to cooperate on taxing the world’s super-rich [last July], there is genuine momentum to implement fairer taxation globally."

Biden’s Mideast policy has been ‘disaster’: Former UK envoy to Syria

20 January 2025

Outgoing President Joe Biden’s policy has been widely criticized for undermining the US' global standing, primarily due to its unwavering support for "Israel."

Former UK Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford criticized outgoing President Joe Biden's Middle East policy, calling it a failure that has diminished the US' global influence by blindly supporting "Israel" and fostering closer ties among regional adversaries, according to RIA Novosti.

President Biden’s Middle East policies could be deemed successful if the only measure was the extent to which it advanced "Israel's" interests. Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas have been humbled, and Syria has experienced a regime change, the veteran diplomat said.

"Judged however by the yardstick of advancing American interests, Biden has been a disaster. The standing of the US in the eyes of the world, on account of its blinkered support for genocide in Gazza, has never been lower. Its adversaries have never drawn closer together. An opportunity to avoid conflict with Iran by resurrecting Obama's deal was squandered," he added.

Ford remarked that Biden's "one sensible policy"—the withdrawal from Afghanistan—was the very decision that drew the most criticism from the "Washington warmongering establishment."

Any predictions about Trump's policies "can only be guesses," Ford continued.

He suggested that Trump’s selections for Middle East-related positions indicate he may "double down" on Biden’s mistakes. However, he added that Trump could still "surprise on the upside."

"Who better to deliver some sharp messages to Israel than its biggest supporters? We may be seeing the first fruits of this with Netanyahu settling for a Gazza ceasefire now rather than risk having his arm twisted by Trump," Ford said.

On Wednesday, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller stated that the involvement of Trump’s team was "absolutely critical" in securing the ceasefire and captive release agreement between "Israel" and Hamas during the final week of Biden’s presidency.

Last year, more than 400 political appointees and employees from over 40 government departments expressed their disapproval of his blind support for "Israel" and its war crimes against Palestinians in Gazza, in a letter to Biden on November 14.

The letter detailed that "the overwhelming majority of Americans support a cease-fire" and do not wish to see their military "drawn into another costly and senseless war in the Middle East."

Some who helped compile the letter accused Biden of shifting his policy from representing American voters to dismissing many concerns of theirs and other political appointees.

Biden worked 'tirelessly around the clock' to prevent a ceasefire: RS

16 Jan 2025

US President Joe Biden had the tools and leverage to secure a ceasefire but deliberately chose not to act.

The Responsible Statecraft on Thursday published a compelling critique by Trita Parsi, examining US President Joe Biden's handling of the war on Gazza and its far-reaching consequences for American foreign policy and global credibility.

The piece sheds light on how a year of inaction, followed by mere posturing from President-elect Donald Trump's team, reflects the Biden administration's failure to exert meaningful pressure on "Israel" to end the violence.

According to Parsi, Biden had the tools and leverage to secure a ceasefire but deliberately chose not to act. "Every day for the past year, Biden could have secured a ceasefire by using America's vast leverage," Parsi writes.

Instead, the article argues, Biden's approach signaled tacit approval of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's genocidal campaign, with devastating humanitarian and strategic consequences.

CEASEFIRE PRESSURE

The critique reveals a stark contrast between the Biden administration's stance and the immediate impact of Trump's envoy.

A diplomat quoted in the piece described the shift: "[This was] the first time there has been real pressure on the Israeli side to accept a deal." The result, according to Parsi, was a ceasefire that could have come much sooner, potentially sparing countless lives.

Parsi does not shy away from the moral and geopolitical fallout of Biden's decisions, equating them to the long-lasting damage inflicted by George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq.

Brett Holmgren, Biden's acting Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, is cited in the piece warning that anti-American sentiment fuelled by the war in Gazza has reached levels "not seen since the Iraq war."

These sentiments, Parsi points out, are creating fertile ground for terrorist recruitment by groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS.

MORAL COMPLICITY

The article also sheds light on the moral implications of US complicity. "Every bomb Biden provided Israel to drop on children in Gazza was not only morally monstrous, it also made Americans less safe," Parsi asserts, stressing the dual harm of enabling civilian casualties while eroding US security.

Parsi calls for accountability, drawing lessons from the Iraq War era when public outrage forced a re-evaluation of America's military interventions.

He argues that Biden's unwavering support for "Israel" during the war on Gazza must serve as a similar moment of reckoning, stating that it should be remembered as "the original sin that led America down the path of complicity in what most likely amount to genocide."

East Palestine, Ohio: Debris from a Norfolk Southern freight train lies scattered and burning along the tracks, on February 4, 2023. (AP)

Trump inauguration official accused of embezzling Ohio disaster funds

Source: The Intercept

19 Jan 2025

Pat Lee, a Republican operative, will never be able to fundraise for charity in Ohio again.

To assist prepare the inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump's team hired a man who was on the board of a nonprofit accused by the Ohio attorney general of embezzling funds intended for victims of the Norfolk Southern train catastrophe in East Palestine, Ohio, The Intercept reported.

Patrick Lee, the inaugural committee's deputy director and public liaison, was on the board of the Ohio Clean Water Fund, an LLC founded in Ohio days after the train crashed in February 2023.

Trump's visit to East Palestine became a focal point in his presidential campaign. The Ohio Clean Water Fund, claiming to represent the Second Harvest Food Bank, raised over $141,000 for families affected by the East Palestine disaster. However, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's office later described the collaboration as fraudulent, with the food bank denying any connection.

Despite this, the Ohio Clean Water Fund sent the food bank $10,000 while keeping the remaining $131,000, according to the attorney general's office.

Yost subsequently described the Ohio Clean Water Fund as a "sham charity", saying it "must turn over more than $131,000 in pocketed donations so the money truly does benefit East Palestine."

A lawyer for Lee denied the allegations, stating that the payment made by Lee's organization was not an admission of guilt. Lee, not officially named as a defendant, did not address his involvement with the Ohio Clean Water Fund, which shared an address with his Virginia home.

In a settlement with Ohio Attorney General Yost, Lee and the Ohio Clean Water Fund agreed to pay a six-figure reparation and were restricted from certain philanthropic activities in Ohio in exchange for dropping the accusations against them.

Yost’s lawsuit revealed that the ‘charity’ had pocketed at least $131,000 of the donated funds while sending only $10,000 to the food bank.”

The East Palestine train crash became a major political issue in the 2024 presidential race, with Trump's team emphasizing his visit to the catastrophe scene while comparing it with Biden's absence.

Since the June 2023 settlement, LCM Strategies has received payments from Ohio Republican state representatives Justin Pizzulli and Adam Mathews, who told The Intercept he was not familiar with Lee, the fund, or details of misuse, pointing out that LCM was engaged as a subcontractor rather than directly by his campaign.

While FEC records show that neither the Trump campaign nor the Republican National Committee explicitly recruited Lee during the 2024 campaign season, past reports and sources corroborate his involvement as a former deputy director of public interaction for Trump's inauguration committee.

Lee was not the only political figure connected to the alleged "sham charity".

Mike Peppel, founder of the Ohio Clean Water Fund, previously worked for Republican Congressman Mike Rulli. In August, Peppel settled with Yost, agreeing to pay reparations and cease some charitable activities to avoid litigation. Reports later indicated that Rulli had rehired Peppel, and Rulli's campaign had worked with Lee's firm, LCM Strategies, in 2021 and 2022.

Nael al-Barghouthi, a symbol of resistance and resilience in Palestine, faces an uncertain reunion as his anticipated release in the prisoner-captive exchange deal comes with a heartbreaking condition: deportation outside of his homeland.

Yet, for his wife, the prospect of reuniting after over a decade of separation is bittersweet.

Al-Barghouthi, from the town of Kobar, Ramallah, was first arrested by the occupation in 1978 and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He was released in the Wafa al-Ahrar deal in 2011 and married shortly after.

He lived his life as a free, married man for only 32 months, as in June 2014, al-Barghouthi was re-arrested and sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Two months after his sentence ended, the Israeli occupation restored his previous life sentence plus 18 years under the pretext of a "secret file".

BREAKING:

Palestinian detainees were released at 1:19 a.m. on Monday, from Ofer prison, while the Israeli captives were released at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Israel intentionally delayed their release in an attempt to prevent celebrations, yet the people remained undeterred. They waited and are now celebrating the release.

A total of 90 Palestinian detainees have been released, and the buses have now arrived in the town of Beitunia, Ramallah, where the prisoners are being received as part of the exchange deal.

— Giora Eiland, architect of the 'Generals' Plan': Hamas won.

In a striking admission during a press conference broadcast on Channel 12, Maj. Gen. (res.) Giora Eiland confessed that Israel lost the war in Gazza and failed to achieve its strategic objectives.

Eiland, the architect of the brutal 'Generals' Plan,' acknowledged that Hamas not only survived Israel's campaign but emerged stronger, solidifying its control over Gazza.

He described the outcome as a "resounding failure" for Israel and added that there would be no renewal of the war.

The 'Generals' Plan,' which is said to have been devised to dismantle Hamas’s power, relied on inhumane measures: starving Gazza’s population, exterminating Resistance and forcibly displacing civilians from northern Gazza to isolate Resistance fighters.

This ruthless "surrender or starve" approach turned mass suffering into a weapon of war.

However, Eiland admitted that the plan disastrously backfired, with Israel unable to prevent Hamas from regrouping and rearming under the terms of the ceasefire.

Eiland also pointed to critical strategic missteps made months before the war, suggesting that these decisions doomed Israel’s efforts from the outset.

Renewed clashes between security forces and gunmen in Jenin camp

Jenin - Ma'an - Ma'an's correspondent reported renewed clashes between security forces and gunmen in Jenin camp.

In a statement issued by the Al-Quds Brigades inside the camp, it accused the security services of violating the recent agreement that was concluded under the auspices of the Reform Committee.

The agreement was signed last Friday and began to be implemented at the beginning of the week, about a month and a half after a military operation carried out by the security services against what they called “outlaws.”

Israel wakes up from Netanyahu's delusions: Why is Gazza celebrating?

And why is Tel Aviv crying?

Author: Editor-in-Chief / Dr. Nasser Al-Lahham

The Western mind and the Israeli mentality fail to understand why people celebrate and dance with joy in Gazza despite all this death and destruction.

The whole world has witnessed the reaction of the people of the Strip, who are always the most able to survive and remain steadfast.

While the Israelis bother themselves with this question, the answer is easy: the people of Gazza are celebrating the cessation of the massacre!!

The Israeli leaders wonder in astonishment about Netanyahu's goals (which they thought had become their goals) regarding the war and its results.

Through hours of dialogues, broadcasts and analysis via the Hebrew media, we reach the conclusion that they consider this agreement bad, but they consider it necessary because not accepting it means waiting for the worst.

The explanation for this negative position of the Israelis towards the agreement goes back to the "illusion" that Netanyahu and a handful of extremists sold them. He sold them slogans and goals that cannot be implemented, and now they are paying the price of racism:

- That the solution to the Palestinian issue must be a political solution, and that the military solution is unsound and cannot lead to a better result.

- The military occupation of the Gazza Strip, southern Lebanon and any Arab land is a crime that the Israelis will pay the price for, day and night, and it cannot provide them with security or safety.

- The idea of displacing the Palestinian people or forcing them to emigrate is a sick and stupid idea, and Netanyahu's acquiescence in the ideas of transfer and harnessing Israel's capabilities to implement it, is a war crime for which he will personally pay the price, and the Israelis will also pay the price.

- The problems of the Israelis are caused by Netanyahu and the racist ideas of the right. Netanyahu announced in 2008 the cessation of negotiations, and after Tzipi Livni won the elections, he obstructed her formation of the government and stole power from her. Since then, Netanyahu has thwarted all attempts at a political solution during the days of US President Obama and his envoy Kerry, and after him Biden, and after him Trump.

- Netanyahu is teaching US presidents a great lesson in baseness, as he betrayed Obama and failed him politically, and then took everything from Trump for free, but he was the first to congratulate Biden on the presidency even before the results were announced, and he took everything from Biden but stood with Trump. And he will do this to Trump again and again. The Hebrew platforms published a special recording of Netanyahu telling his close associates that he knows how to manipulate American presidents!!

- The problem is not in Gazza, nor in the Jenin camp, nor in Ramallah and Tulkarm. The problem is in the military rule of the occupation that prevents generations of Palestinians from living a normal life.

- The last war proves that victory and success are not related to the abundance of weapons and the amount of blood, but rather victory is for the most humane and the least bloody.

- The American ground-penetrating missiles were unable to save a single American prisoner, and the British battleships and the French, German and Italian aircraft carriers did not at all succeed in opening Bab al-Mandab.

We learned from experience to hate killing and avoid wars, and to demand a decent life for our children and to respect other cultures and respect human rights everywhere and for every person.

So what has Israel learned?

And what will it teach its children except to hate us [for existing]?!

Occupation media: Qassam controls Gazza despite the long war

Jerusalem - Ma'an - Israeli Channel 12 reported that the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), still maintains its strength despite the long war, confirming that it is present everywhere in the Gazza Strip and has complete control over it.

This sparked widespread anger in Israeli circles, as Israeli websites wondered how such a large number of Qassam members and vehicles suddenly appeared.

Comments included: "Where did they come from? And where were our soldiers all this time?"

The controversy spread to a state of confusion in the Hebrew media, which described the scene as crazy and incomprehensible, noting that the Gazza Strip seemed to be "all elite" fighters.

Some analysts asked: "Was there a real war at all?"

Abu Obeida’s First Ceasefire Speech: The Final Nail in the Occupation’s Coffin

January 19, 2025

By Palestine Chronicle Staff

Abu Obeida delivered a powerful speech today outlining the pivotal moments of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa and its impact on the region.

Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, delivered a videotaped speech on Sunday, reflecting on the 15-month-long struggle against the Israeli occupation and the significant changes brought about by the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa.

He discussed how the battle reshaped the regional landscape and created new dynamics in the ongoing conflict with the occupier.

These are the key points from Abu Obeida’s speech:

“471 days have passed since the historic Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, which undoubtedly drove the final nail into the coffin of the occupation that is now on its way to vanishing.”

“The immense sacrifices and the blood shed by our people will not be in vain.”

“Our people have made unprecedented sacrifices for their freedom and for their sanctities during these 471 days.”

“We feel the great pain that our people endure, which comes as the price for liberating the land, the people and the holy sites.”

“Reaching an agreement to stop the Zionist aggression against our people has been our goal for many months, even from the very start of the aggression.”

“We, along with the Resistance factions, declare our full commitment to the ceasefire agreement, but this is contingent upon the enemy’s commitment.”

“We call on all mediators to hold the enemy accountable and ensure the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.”

“We extend our thanks to our brothers in Ansar Allah and our comrades in arms in Hezbollah, who paid a heavy price during our battle.”

“We salute the Resistance in Iraq and our brothers in Jordan who crossed the border to confront the occupier.”

“The Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa began from the outskirts of Gazza, but it has changed the face of the region and introduced new equations in the conflict with the occupying entity.”

“This battle led to the opening of new fronts and forced the enemy to seek international support.”

“We fought alongside all the Resistance factions as a united front throughout Gazza, delivering devastating blows to the enemy.”

“Our Mujahideen fought with immense courage until the final hours of the battle, operating under what seemed like impossible conditions.”

“We were up against an unequal confrontation, both in terms of combat capabilities and in combat ethics.”

“While we struck at the enemy, they resorted to brutal and heinous methods of violence against our people.”

“The greatness of this battle is reflected in the leadership of its martyrs, including (Ismail) Haniyeh, (Saleh) al-Arouri, and (Yahya) Sinwar.”

“Any attempts to integrate this entity into the region will be met with a flood of awareness and resistance from free peoples.”

“Today, the responsibility on our people in the West Bank is growing, and we offer a special salute to Jenin, the sister city of Gazza in its heroism and steadfastness.”

“We receive millions of messages of support from across the Arab and Islamic world, and we know that we are one with you, and you are one with us.”

Abu Obeida’s speech marks a reflection on the sacrifices made during the 15-month-long conflict and expresses a resolute commitment to resistance while calling for the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and continued unity among Resistance groups.

🔴 The Gang Rape and Murder of Asifa Bano - 17th January 2018

It's been 7 years today since the body of 8-year-old Muslim girl, Asifa Bano, was found in Rasana village near Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir after being drugged and held captive in a Hindu temple for a week.

She was brutally gang-raped to the extent her uterus was damaged. They brutally killed her and dumped her body in a ditch.

What was their aim? To terrorise a Muslim community and force them out of the village.

On 10 June 2019, Sanji Ram (Temple priest), Deepak Khajuria (police officer) and Parvesh Kumar (police officer) were sentenced to life imprisonment of 25 years.

Tilak Raj (Head constable), Anand Dutta and Surender Verma were sentenced to five years in jail for destroying evidence.

In December 2021, Two culprits — former sub-inspector Anand Dutta and head constable Tilak Raj — had been released on bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which suspended the rest of their sentences pending an appeal.

Iran, Russia to expand cooperation on nuclear power development

18 Jan 2025

This partnership builds on past collaborations, such as Russia’s role in constructing the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Russia and Iran are set to expand their nuclear energy collaboration, with plans to build new small-scale and large-scale nuclear power plants.

The announcement came from Alexey Likhachev, Director General of Rosatom, during Iran-Russia negotiations on January 17, 2025.

Likhachev stated, "Our Iranian partners called for the development of bilateral ties in the field of building small scale nuclear power plants and building a new site for large scale power plants."

He also confirmed that talks on constructing another large-scale plant will begin soon.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Russian President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed their commitment to these projects as part of a 20-year strategic partnership treaty.

During their meeting on Friday, Pezeshkian told Putin that the two countries are ready to finalize nuclear plant agreements. The treaty also focuses on closer collaboration in energy and defense.

This partnership builds on past collaborations, such as Russia’s role in constructing the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

The new projects aim to expand Iran’s energy infrastructure with Russian expertise, including small modular reactors to diversify energy production.

Shreiteh also highlighted that the Israeli ministry’s website listed the birthdates of 10 prisoners without providing any additional information about them, emphasizing the lack of trust in the data published by the Israeli occupation authorities and its prison administration.

He added, "This is what we warned about over the past few days and we reiterate our call to our Egyptian and Qatari brothers to put an end to these violations and to deny the occupation authorities any opportunity to create confusion" among Palestinians and the families of the prisoners.

⭕ Ayman Al-Kamamji and two other inmates will be as part of the prisoner exchange. The three of them are famous for their prison escape, whereby they were later on captured again and imprisoned.

The Resistance in Gazza promised to release them one day, and the promise is being fulfilled now.

Below is the story of how they escaped previously.

Three Palestinian Prisoners Escape Israeli Jail Using a Tunnel Dug with Spoons

In a daring escape that had captured global attention, Ayham Kamamji and two other Palestinian prisoners broke out of a high-security Israeli prison by digging a tunnel using spoons.

The extraordinary breakout occurred at Gilboa Prison, a maximum-security facility known for housing Palestinian detainees.

Kamamji, along with his fellow inmates, meticulously planned the escape for months, crafting a tunnel beneath their cell. Reports suggest they used simple tools, including spoons smuggled into the prison, to dig through the concrete and soil. The tunnel’s exit was discovered outside the prison walls.

The men slipped away undetected.

The escape sparked a massive manhunt involving Israeli police, military forces and intelligence agencies. Roadblocks were set up, and drones and surveillance technologies were deployed to track down the fugitives.

For many Palestinians, the escape is being hailed as a symbol of resilience and defiance against Israeli occupation.

Supporters gathered in various towns to celebrate the prisoners’ audacious act, chanting slogans of freedom.

Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya al-Ninowy is the Founder and Director of Madina Institute, an Islamic seminary in Atlanta, Georgia, US with campuses in South Africa.

In this clip, Ninowy is seen receiving a cheque for one hundred thousand rand from the DA mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill-Lewis, at the Madina Institute's Cape Town campus.

According to the Institute's website, Ninowy "has been a pioneer working on grass root levels to bring back unconditional compassion and love as the central themes of religion and has been the forerunner promoting non-violence among all people and religions worldwide".

So, it's easy to see why he's so beloved to the jutlas. They adore Muslims who promote non-violence.

It is haraam for Muslims to study at the Madina Institute or support it in any way.

They're teaching people to become Scholars for dollars and Sheikhs for cheques.




Alleged "terror financier" and Sandton resident Ziyadh Hoorzook looks more like a sacrificial lamb headed for a foregone, ritualistic execution than an accused in a court case as his trial next week in Lichtenburg approaches.

South Africa's white media is all agog, as they breathlessly remind South Africa's authorities - who have had the temerity to accuse US poster boy Israel of genocide - that a successful prosecution will almost guarantee the country's removal from one of the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) "grey lists" for not preventing dodgy, cross-border financial transactions.

It's like Hoorzook is being set up as the perfect patsy in a game intended to ensure South Africa falls back into line along with other nations fearful of western sanctions who don't mind compromising their legal processes if it will guarantee them access to Western finance.

Hoorzook (35) is accused of shipping Bitcoin worth R11 500 to a Syrian-based organisation, identified only as "Al-Sadaqah", in 2017 - three years before it was supposedly exposed in the US as a "terror organisation".

"The case – set to be heard in the Lichtenburg Magistrate’s Court in North West on Wednesday 22 January – is seen as a test of South Africa’s commitment to removing itself from the grey list imposed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) two years ago," Moneyweb reports.

It headlined its story: "Joburg man’s terror financing case using crypto is a test for the FIC (Financial Intelligence Centre)". Its strap headline reads: "Due to be heard next week, the case is an opportunity to show that SA is serious about removing itself from the grey list".

"The court case underscores South Africa’s evolving response to terrorist financing conducted via cryptocurrency. A successful prosecution would enhance the country’s prospects for removal from the FATF’s greylist," Daily Maverick South Africa is reminding its readers.

It seems Hoorzook's case isn't so much about his guilt as it is about trying to put pressure on South African authorities and the government.

Intelligence "sources", unnamed and unidentified, have full access to the white media's preparatory coverage. Hoorzook's R11 500 is just "the tip of the iceberg" the Zionazi SA Jewish Report is revealing. Apparently, South Africa is awash with Muslim terror financiers.

"The case of a Sandton man accused of using Bitcoin to finance terrorist activities has highlighted South Africa’s escalating security threat, experts warned this week," the SAJR claims.

Until Hoorzook's arrest, South Africa's was negotiating with the FATF for removal from the grey list of countries that appear to be flagging in their efforts to crack down on cross-border transactions linked to corruption.

Moneyweb wrote in September South Africa was on schedule to meet international standards to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, "and could be removed from the international Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) so-called grey list by February 2025".

The FIC said South Africa was ticking all the right boxes, thanks mainly to amendments it made to the General Laws (Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Financing) Amendment Act.

The FIC noted approvingly the government was tackling corruption and had notched up a few notable victories, claiming it contributed to the recovery of R98.5 million in criminal proceeds during the year to end March 2024.

Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana noted in his foreword to the FIC's September report "that the goal is to achieve full compliance with FATF standards by the February 2025 target and to exit the grey list".

So, it seems there's a lot more riding on Hoorzook's R11 500 donation than his actual innocence or guilt.

That will turn not on findings in court cases in the US, or listings on "watch lists", but on Hoorzook's actual state of mind and whether he acted with criminal intent at the time - three years before Al-Sadaqah was found in the US to be a terror organisation.

Police say he had speeches by Osama bin Laden and other documents about ISIS and other "Yankee Jihadi" outfits on his devices.

This writer also access and occasionally downloads such documents simply in the interests of informing myself about developments in global Islam. It doesn't mean I want to blow up someone.

According to US authorities, Al-Sadaqah is used to finance weapons purchases and forms part of Al-Qaeda’s network of fundraising organisations.

The Ceasefire Charade

Israel plays a cynical game. It makes phased agreements with the Palestinians that ensure it immediately gets what it wants. It then violates every subsequent phase and reignites its military assault.

Chris Hedges

Jan 16, 2025

Israel, going back decades, has played a duplicitous game. It signs a deal with the Palestinians that is to be implemented in phases.

The first phase gives Israel what it wants — in this case the release of the Israeli hostages in Gazza — but Israel habitually fails to implement subsequent phases that would lead to a just and equitable peace.

It eventually provokes the Palestinians with indiscriminate armed assaults to retaliate, defines a Palestinian response as a provocation and abrogates the ceasefire deal to reignite the slaughter.

If this latest three-phase ceasefire deal is ratified — and there is no certainty that it will be by Israel — it will, I expect, be little more than a presidential inauguration bombing pause.

Israel has no intention of halting its merry-go-round of death. ...

The morning after a ceasefire agreement was announced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of reneging on part of the deal “in an effort to extort last minute concessions.”

He warned that his cabinet will not meet “until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement.” ...

But it is Netanyahu’s office that appears to have already reneged on the agreement.

It released a statement rejecting Israeli troop withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor during the first 42-day phase of the ceasefire. “In practical terms, Israel will remain in the Philadelphi Corridor until further notice," while claiming the Palestinians are attempting to violate the agreement.

Palestinians throughout the numerous ceasefire negotiations have demanded Israeli troops withdraw from Gazza.

Egypt has condemned the seizure of its border crossings by Israel.

The deep fissures between Israel and Hamas, even if the Israelis finally accept the agreement, threaten to implode it.

Hamas is seeking a permanent ceasefire. But Israeli policy is unequivocal about its “right” to re-engage militarily.

There is no consensus about who will govern Gazza. Israel has made it clear the continuance of Hamas in power is unacceptable.

There is no mention of the status of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the U.N. agency that Israel has outlawed and that provides the bulk of the humanitarian aid given to the Palestinians, 95 percent of whom have been displaced.

There is no agreement on the reconstruction of Gazza, which lies in rubble. And, of course, there is no route in the agreement to an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.

Israeli mendacity and manipulation are pitifully predictable. ...

Israeli soldiers 'fatigued', 'need rest', Israeli media say

17 Jan 2025

The Israeli soldiers are growing tired and need rest in light of the war on Gazza, where the Resistance put them through hell.

Israeli media outlets have reported on the pressing need for the Israeli military to take a break from combat operations, citing exhaustion among its forces. Analysts emphasized the importance of rest and training for the Israeli occupation forces, which they described as "fatigued and in need of a halt to fighting."

The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation military affairs analyst noted on Friday that reserve forces scheduled to enter Gazza the previous day did not deploy as planned.

He added that caution is required to avoid risky military ventures at this time, stating, "There is a constant reassessment of the situation regarding developments in other arenas, such as the West Bank, the northern front, and what will happen in Gazza."

The analyst concluded, "It is clear that the army is exhausted and must rest and train."

Crises facing military

Israeli media reported in December that the Israeli military is facing a manpower crisis, revealing that hundreds of officers are quitting the army at the height of the war.

The Israeli military has yet to complete the year 2024, but it can already be said that since the second quarter of the year, particularly in the past six months, approximately 500 majors have voluntarily left the army, indicated the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom.

The newspaper considered that this is a statistic that "should shake Israel," especially at a time when security challenges are mounting and the military is planning to establish additional combat frameworks.

It added that the Israeli military leadership is surprised by the scale of this phenomenon, admitting they expected the wave of departures to increase after the war, not during it.

The report highlighted that the military began the war already grappling with an acute manpower shortage. In 2022, a record 613 majors left the army in a single year, alongside officers of lower ranks, particularly captains.

While the rate of departures slowed in 2023, particularly toward the end of the year due to the outbreak of the war, the trend has resurfaced, Israel Hayom noted.

Gideon Levy & Mouin Rabbani on Ceasefire: “Netanyahu Will Do Everything Possible” to Kill It Later

January 17, 2025

Israel’s security cabinet has approved a long-awaited ceasefire deal with Hamas. If finalized, the ceasefire is expected to go into effect on Sunday.

“The main challenge will be the second phase, and here there are many, many problems on the horizon,” says Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, who stresses the importance of also freeing the thousands of Palestinians held by Israel.

“Again and again, Israelis always think that they are the only victims.”

The announcement comes in the final week of U.S. President Joe Biden’s term as Israel prepares for the incoming Trump administration.

“The only reason that Israel did not agree to this text until this week is because it didn’t have to worry about U.S. pressure,” says Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani, who explains why the limited agreement will not shift politics in Israel and Palestine.

“I believe Netanyahu will do everything possible, with the collusion of certain Trump officials, to try to scuttle it after the first phase.”

Climate Activists Tell Oil Companies to “Pay Up” for L.A. Wildfires as Guterres Slams Fossil Fuel Industry

Jan 17, 2025

On Thursday, dozens of climate activists with the Sunrise Movement held a protest outside a Phillips 66 terminal in Los Angeles, demanding oil companies “pay up” for the wildfires and other climate catastrophes.

Last year, oil and gas interests successfully campaigned to kill a California bill that would have forced polluters to help cover the cost of climate disasters.

Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has blamed the fossil fuel industry for the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, linking them to the broader climate crisis, in a speech to the General Assembly Wednesday.

Secretary-General António Guterres: “Look no further than the hills of Los Angeles. It has gone from the home of disaster movies to a scene of disaster. Who pays the price for climate destruction around the world? Not the fossil fuel industry, pocketing profits and taxpayer subsidies as their products wreak havoc. Every people suffer.”

Death Toll from L.A. Wildfires Hits 27 as Study Says Disaster Could End Up Claiming 1,000s of Lives

Jan 17, 2025

In California, some mandatory evacuation zones around Los Angeles have been reopened after firefighters made significant gains battling two massive wildfires.

As of Thursday evening, the Palisades fire was 27% contained, while the Eaton fire was 55% contained.

Officially, the death toll from the fires stands at 27. But a new study by Yale University’s Climate Connections predicts that toxic smoke, combined with disruption to the economy and health, may lead to thousands of deaths over the coming years.

It’s already the costliest wildfire event in California history. A report from Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs estimates the cost to insurers alone could reach as much as $30 billion.

16 January 2025

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan welcomed the ceasefire agreement between the Hamas Jihad Movement and the Israeli occupation and thanked the efforts of the mediating countries, especially Qatar and Egypt.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate said that this ceasefire agreement is the result of the legendary patience of the Palestinian people and the heroic resistance in the Gazza Strip for more than fifteen months of historical struggle and sacrifices.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan congratulated the leadership of the jihadi Hamas Movement and the patient people of Palestine on this great achievement.

In its statement, it said that it is now necessary to fully implement all stages of the agreement in such a way that the ceasefire is permanent and humanitarian aid reaches the people of Gazza urgently.

The statement added that, given the results of previous agreements, the parties involved and the international community must ensure that the Israeli regime fulfills its commitments responsibly.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan also said that lasting peace and tranquility in the Middle East can only be achieved through a legitimate solution to the Palestinian issue and the independence of the Palestinian people.

The Emirate reaffirmed its stance by stating, "We will continue to support an independent Palestinian state and the Palestinian people on behalf of the Afghan nation, as we have done in the past."

Alameen Templeton

The entire world is celebrating because the Nazi states of America and Israel have decided to do nothing.

They're pretending their "ceasefire" agreement was the most difficult decision they have had to make after smearing themselves and their global reputation in gore and filth for 468 horrifying days. Accurate estimates put the death toll at about 80 000 people, with Gaza's health system destroyed.

Indelible stain

The world will never forget.

Demographic modelling multiplies direct genocide death tolls by a minimum of three in wartime - and it's always wartime in Gaza - which means the final toll of Israel's homicidal rampage is likely to be at least 240 000 dead.

Without proper rehabilitation - the Israelis have killed 71 Palestinians since allegedly agreeing to a ceasefire already - modelling used by the UN's refugee agency multiplies direct deaths by 15, which would give a final death toll of 1.2million.

Nations and international agencies welcomed the ceasefire Thursday, with Ansar Allah in Yemen praising the Palestinians for their faith, courage and fortitude in the face of "the most brutal Israeli aggression".

"We praise with great reverence and honor the legendary steadfastness of Gaza in confronting this unprecedented aggression," Ansar Allah spokesman Mohammad Abdul-Salam said.

Al Mayadeen reports he expressed deep appreciation for the sacrifices of the Palestinian Resistance, highlighting the martyrdom of prominent leaders like Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar.

"Their sacrifices did not weaken the Resistance; instead, they fought with unparalleled bravery, compelling the enemy to accept a ceasefire," he said.

Having their cake

"Ceasefire" in Israeli terms usually means they continue killing while the other side patiently sits on its hands and continues dying. It's happening in typical fashion Thursday in Gaza and, across the Lebanon border where the Zionazis have kept up airstrikes almost every day since agreeing to a "ceasefire" almost 60 days ago.

Now, it looks like the Zionazis want to remain in Lebanon (that agreement stipulates the Lawnmowers must depart after 60 days) and Israeli Fuhrer Benjamin Netanyahu is Thursday afternoon refusing to hold a cabinet meeting to ratify the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Restraint has never been his strong point.

But "do-nothing" Genocide Joe Biden - who smudged "red lines" in cowardly fashion throughout the 15-month genocide, doing nothing every day to prevent the slaughter or to stop the flow of weapons - is apparently in "urgent telephonic discussions" with Netanyahu to sign the deal.

It seems the routine Biden humiliation will continue until the end of his administration. Netanyahu's last-minute stalling is rubbing the US president's nose in his own impotence.

How they must be laughing in the Israeli cabinet's underground bunker Thursday where Netanyhu has revelled in keeping his hand on the murder button.

Netanyahu claimed Thursday Hamas was creating a "last-minute crisis", but in typical fashion did not elaborate, much in the same way Israel did not back up its claims that staff of UNRWA had participated in Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 2023.

The White House said it was aware of "the issues", but said it remained confident they would be overcome.

Getting over the line

"We're going to get there," White House spokesman John Kirby said.

Hamas says it remains committed to the deal. "Hamas is committed to the ceasefire agreement, which was announced by the mediators," Izzat al-Rishq said in a Telegram post.

Sami Abu Zuhri, told Al-Arabiya TV that "there is no basis for Netanyahu’s allegations that the movement has backed down from the terms of the ceasefire agreement."

He claimed that Israel "wants to create a state of tension at a critical time and we demand that it be obligated to implement the agreement."

When asked why the deal wasn't signed months ago, Kirby told NBC News that what had changed was that "Hamas is weaker now and more willing to make a deal".

It was a blatant lie, exposing a callous disregard for human life or real facts.

Thursday's ceasefire is almost an exact copy of the agreement on the table that Hamas agreed to last July.

Only Israel's intransigence and US collusion has delayed the deal's arrival.

The first hostages will be released under the deal on Sunday which will be the official beginning of the truce, starting with two American hostages and Palestinians in Israeli torture camps.

China and Russia have cautiously welcomed the deal and voiced readiness to aid in reconstruction. They both said they hoped the deal lasts.

Cautious welcome

In Russia, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, “A settlement that leads to a ceasefire and an end to suffering of people in Gaza and that boosts Israel’s security, can only be welcomed."

"Let's wait for the process to be finalized," he told reporters.

Bezalel Snotrich, Israel's poster boy for Zionazism, was a pastiche of Baptist, Doomsday revivalism, warning ominously: ""We are in the midst of fateful days, faced with a heartbreaking dilemma between the desire to see all the hostages return to us and the fear of the heavy price of the deal and its implications for Israel's future," he said on X, warning Israel was facing "a civil war of hatred and division".

His party, the Religious Zionist Party, is threatening to pull out of the government over the deal - and that is probably the real "last-minute crisis" that Netanyahu is fighting Thursday afternoon.

He's facing an imminent danger of losing office and the immunity from prosecution for fraud cases that he enjoys as Israel's premier.

Ignominy and disgrace could be the salient feature of his last days.


Hamas has agreed to the current Gaza ceasefire proposal with sources in the organisation reportedly telling ABC News Tuesday the deal will be announced "either today or tomorrow".

The agreement was held up at the brink after Hamas demanded Israel provide it with maps of Gaza showing how it will pull its genocidal horde out of the enclave under the three-stage deal.

It's still not a done deal, even though the Americans claimed overnight they were waiting only for Hamas's consent - Israel's loony far-right has threatened to block the deal.

“I believe we will get a ceasefire,” US secretary of state Antony Blinken said. “It’s right on the brink. It’s closer than it’s ever been before.”

If implemented and if peace endures, the truce would see the return of Israeli hostages from Gaza and the Israeli military’s complete withdrawal from the besieged region.

Meanwhile, far-right Israeli minister Ben Gvir has revealed how he had repeatedly blocked ceasefire deals over the last year and urged finance minister Bezalel Smotrich to join him.

The first stage of the deal anticipates 33 hostages set free, including children, women – including some female soldiers – men above 50, and the wounded and sick, an Israeli official said.

So far, no announcement has been made, although US and Qatar mediators have said a ceasefire deal in Gaza between Israel and Hamas is closer than ever before, with Blinken saying a truce could be agreed “at any time”.

Negotiators met in Doha Tuesday to hammer out the final details which include the release of hostages held by Hamas in return for Palestinians held in Israeli jails being freed.

“I believe we will get a ceasefire,” the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said during a speech, asserting it was up to Hamas.

Hamas said talks had reached the final stages, and that it hoped this round of negotiations would lead to a deal. An Israeli official said talks had reached a critical phase although some details needed to be hammered out: “We are close, we are not there yet.”

Islamic Jihad, which also holds hostages in Gaza, said a senior delegation would arrive in Doha on Tuesday night to take part in final arrangements.


⭕ Let's be clear: Trump didn't force Netanyahu into a ceasefire!

This phrase has been repeated across the West very frequently, but is an inaccurate representation of the facts. This phrasing dehumanises the people of Gaza, and disregards the role that they played in their own victory!

It would be far more accurate to say that the people of Gaza have forced Trump and Netanyahu to accept their terms for the ceasefire!

Through their steadfastness and resilience, they have refused to leave their land. Despite forced starvation, hundreds of thousands remained in North Gaza. Despite immense pressure and the murder of hundreds of thousands, including the assassination of their leaders, the resistance groups refused to back down on their conditions for a ceasefire.

Trump and Netanyahu have not agreed to the terms because they now believe in them - they have only agreed because they realised force and violence are not enough to break the will of the Gazan people!

Had the people of Gaza showed signs of weakness, Trump would have continued to give Netanyahu the green light to continue, and even escalate, this genocide.

So let's give praise where it's due - all praise belongs to Allah SWT first and foremost, and after this credit belongs to the people of Gaza! 2 million on a small strip of land, who have stood defiant against the evil powers of the world, and forced a ceasefire on their own terms!

L.A. Wildfire Live Updates: Flame-Stoking Winds Ease as Fire Crews Make Progress

Forecasters said the current stretch of strong winds could be almost over, offering a potential reprieve to firefighters.

Red-flag warnings about menacing fire risks expired in much of Southern California on Wednesday evening, less than a day before blaze-fuelling desert winds were expected to shift and offer the region a measured reprieve from days of terror.

Firefighters are still grappling with enormous blazes that have burned tens of thousands of acres, incinerated homes and businesses, killed at least 25 people and displaced at least 100,000 more.

But forecasters, even as they warned that daunting conditions could return early next week, are predicting that the Santa Ana winds will change direction on Thursday.

The region will remain at risk for new fires, officials warned, especially given expectations for low humidity on Thursday.

The change in winds, though, is expected to reduce the short-term perils for Southern California and help firefighters continue their progress against the Palisades and Eaton fires. ...

⭕ - A message of hope through despair

The world holds its breath as whispers of a ceasefire spread, a glimmer to an end of a war that was thought to have no end.

For nearly two years, the skies burned under relentless bombardment; earth-shattering explosions that trembled the very earth under its inhabitants.

Entire city blocks obliterated, rubble crumbled into dust and dust scattered into nothingness.

A merciless enemy, a bloodthirsty villain, the kind that slithers through the rubble, preying on the defenseless.

We testify to their atrocities. We testify to their atrocities. We testify to their atrocities.

Over 185,000 Gazzans killed and injured.

Entire families erased from the registers.

Mothers who kissed their children for the final time and those who never got the chance.

Fathers who ventured out seeking safety for their little ones, never to return.

Sons who came home to find no home.

Daughters who watched their fathers torn from their arms.

Wives who wept rivers of blood waiting for husbands who would never return…

And yet, amidst the deafening silence of the world, the descendants of Khalid Bin Al Walid raised their voices.

By Allah, we testify to the miracles we witnessed in Gazza.

We witnessed the soldiers of Allah descend upon the bloodthirsty enemy.

We saw men - true men- men who fulfilled their covenant, racing to the front lines as though afraid to miss the honor of meeting their Lord.

Men who did not fear death, but yearned for it.

These were the men who bore the weight of the entire Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ.

These were the men who turned away from the fleeting treasures of this world to defend an eternal creed, a creed you and I claim to believe but neither comprehend nor defend.

The men of Gazza stayed true to their covenant. They shattered the mirage of the enemy and brought forth a victory that will be etched in the annals of history.

The world will never forget them, but remember them with honour and pride; the men who sealed victory with their blood, fulfilling their sacred covenant.

Through their sacrifice, the hypocrites were unmasked and the truthful stood firm.

As Yahya Sinwar declared, "We will expose everyone." Indeed, Sinwar, you have spoken the truth. و قل جاء الحق وزهق البطل، إن البطل كان زهوقا



And say: Truth hath come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood (by its nature) is bound to vanish.

Israel just bombed tents sheltering displaced Palestinians, west of Deir al-Balah, in central Gazza.

More than 15 martyrs arrived at the Baptist Hospital as a result of the occupation's bombing of a residential area belonging to the Alloush, Hajj Ali, Al-Jamal and Al-Kahlout families, in the vicinity of Sheikh Radwan, north of Gazza City.

A girl searches for her family under the rubble of their house after it was bombed by in Gazza City, earlier.

In the past couple of hours Israel killed at least 30 Palestinians.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Basically, all media outlets and journalists in Israel are declaring that this is a heavy defeat for Israel

They also blame Donald Trump for this forced deal which they refused to accept for a whole year.

High-ranking IDF Official, speaking on the condition of anonymity:

"This is an absolute disaster deal. For over a year, we resisted against a deal like this. It renders any progress we made in Gazza as useless and in vain.

There is no mechanism to remove Hamas from power. According to this deal, the way it is structured now, Hamas will keep ruling the Gazza Strip. They will likely rearm and recruit more fighters than before.

I tell you one word: Embarrassment. We surrendered to the terrorists of Hamas."

Gazza is destroyed, many children and civilians slaughtered but now Hamas, according to Blinken is fully restored, has more fighters than before and will be in total control of Gazza.

Why did Trump insist so much on a ceasefire? Because the US already has enough domestic problems, and the fact that even after more than a year of massive amounts of weapons and resources being spent, Hamas is not even remotely defeated.

The Arrogance of the ANC Elite: A Disgraceful week-end in Cape Town

A crazy week end in Cape Town, among the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic coast and the iconic Table Mountain, a disgusting political event was held that epitomizes the growing “GAP” between the ANC elites and the impoverished people they pretend to serve. The recent ANC Birthday gathering was marked by rented yachts, VIP boats, 6 Star hotels, luxury cars, and designer labels were on display the crass opulence so anti Boujee that it would have made the French queen cut off her own head.

Meanwhile, beyond the crude and vulgar social media posts and clinking champagne glasses, the grave situation of South Africa remains ever visible. Forty percent of our adult population is unemployed. Over 26 million people rely on social grants to survive. Homelessness is a growing epidemic, and our social infrastructure—schools, hospitals, roads—collapse under the neglect and corruption of the ANC.

This grotesque display of their nouveau riche status was not just tone-deaf; it was a ugly slap in the face to the millions of South Africans struggling to put food on the table, Justin Trudeau would be proud . To see such extravagance in a country crippled by extreme poverty and desperation is to understand just how detached the ANC political class OF 2025 has become from the very people they claim to represent.

The political elite’s extreme indulgence sends a bone chilling message: they are not only deaf and blind to the suffering of the masses but envy and desire a lifestyle that ridicules the principles of humble public service. Their hideous behavior is not an isolated incident but part of a broader culture of entitlement and self-enrichment that has come to represent much of South African politics.

When any politician flaunt’ wealth they cannot legitimately account for, it is not only a major moral failing but a betrayal of the public trust. These are individuals who owe their positions, in theory, to the will of the people—a will expressed through a vote by citizens yearning for a future, opportunities, and fairness. Instead, their faith is repaid with rude disdain.

What happened in Cape Town this week end represents an extreme violation of the social contract. Leaders are elected to uplift society, address inequality, and steward public resources responsibly. When they use their positions to enrich themselves and flaunt their privileges, they kill the very foundations of our fragile democracy.

In a nation where people queue for hours to access basic health services, where children are taught under trees for lack of classrooms, and where millions live in informal settlements without running water or electricity, the extravagance on display this past week end in Cape Town is more than insensitive—it is obscene.

It is time for all South Africans to demand more from those in power. Real Accountability must be non-negotiable. Leaders who prioritize their personal enrichment over public service must be exposed, shamed, and removed from office. Citizens must use every available platform—elections, activism, and public engagement—to insist on a leadership that stand for humility, empathy, and integrity.

The ANC/SACP/COSATU/SANCO lavishness on seen in Cape Town was not a celebration; it was a Ouroboros like death march for the ideals of selflessness displayed by Mandela and Tambo. South Africa urgently deserves leaders who understand that their role is not to emulate the oligarchs of the world but to stand with the people in their struggles, to share in their hopes, and to act as stewards of the nation’s future.

South Africa is better than this. Our new democracy demands better than this. Let the crude ANC spectacle in Cape Town serve as a reminder of what happens when power corrupts absolutely.


Britain is handing "get-out-of-jail-free" cards to some of Israel's worst genicidaires, with the latest "special mission certificate" issued to Israel’s Wehrmacht Kommander Herzi Halevi, who was given special diplomatic immunity to visit Britain last month.

Halevi is the chief overseer of Israel's Gaza genocide, directing the Israeli military’s operations throughout 15 months of mass murder.

He arrived in Britain late November to discuss Lebanon and Gaza with senior UK military officials and diplomats who are also up to their elbows in blood, guaranteeing a stead flow of arms to the Nazi state despite UK officials warning they are liable for genocide charges by doing so. Halevi also met Britain’s attorney general, Richard Hermer, the man who is supposedly meant to order Halevi's arrest under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant.

The trip came just three days after the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for “crimes against humanity and war crimes”.

Halevi was initially included in the ICC’s arrest applications for the crime of having “deliberately starved Palestinians in Gaza”.

While he was not ultimately named in those warrants, it is possible to issue private arrest applications in Britain, which allows for the most serious crimes to be prosecuted regardless of where they are committed.

But Downing Street blocked this avenue for redress by issuing Halevi with a “special mission certificate”, granting him temporary diplomatic immunity for the duration of the visit.

In response to a parliamentary question from Labour MP Brian Leishman, the Foreign Office Monday admitted it “gave consent for special mission status for the visit to the UK on 24-25 November of Lieutenant General Herzl Halevi… and [his] delegation”.

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) told Declassified: “It seems beyond belief that the UK attorney general could meet with the head of the IDF, mere days after arrest warrants were issued for Netanyahu and Gallant.

ICJP spokesman Jonathan Purcell said it was “utterly reckless” for the attorney general to have met Halevi, “not least as it will undermine the UK’s global position by associating so closely with a pariah state”.

In September 2005, a private arrest application was issued for retired Israeli general Doron Almog over alleged war crimes committed in Gaza.

Almog was tipped off about the potential arrest upon arrival at Heathrow airport, and remained on his plane before turning back to Israel.

The incident seemingly marked the first time that an arrest warrant had been issued in Britain for an Israeli national over abuses against Palestinians.

What followed was a years-long campaign by the Israeli government to change Britain’s approach to universal jurisdiction legislation.

The goal was to allow Israeli officials to visit Britain without fear of arrest, particularly those accused of serious abuses against the Palestinians.

In September 2011, David Cameron’s coalition government passed new legislation requiring the consent of the director of public prosecutions (DPP) before universal jurisdiction arrest warrants could be issued.

Leaked files reviewed by Declassified revealed how the Israeli ministry of justice had requested “the consent of the Attorney-General or the DPP before an arrest warrant or summons is issued” in Britain.

Sixteen special mission certificates have been issued to Israeli officials including Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni, and the IDF’s former military intelligence directorate chief Amos Yadlin.

Only two “special mission” certificates have been provided to Israeli officials since Al-Aqsa Flood - to war minister Benny Gantz in March 2024 and Halevi last month.

The Foreign Office added: “Government officials from any country can apply for and be granted special mission certificates as part of official visits to the UK.

“A special mission is a temporary mission, representing a State, which is sent by one State to another with the consent of the latter, in order to carry out official engagements on behalf of the sending State”.


See who this Chief Rabbi invited for his security cluster, counter security terror task force, very fancy name that, André Pienaar ex 🦂 Scorpion, Dean Hayton 🇬🇧 British Intelligence, Admiral Mike Hewitt 🇺🇸 US Defense Force, Major General Davin Shoor 🇮🇱 they will be working with World Jewish Congress and also Expert Legal Team!

Now my esteemed readers of this chat,i ask you, We as Muslims have had so much of Terrorism threats thrown at us over the years, from pig 🐷 heads in the Mosque to an actual Bomb 💣 threat in Musjid Rahman Durban North a few months ago, did we as a community Call up an International Terror Task Force to highlight our Plight?

Wake Up o Muslims of Mzanzi 🇿🇦, the screws are being put in place to tighten the security apparatus for anyone who speaks out against Jews, Israel etc. Guess who will be affected the most?

Read below 👇 to get a better understanding!

Where's our Counter Terrorism


Zionist Terror-Funders And SA Mercenaries in Israel's Genocide in Gaza Are Immune From Prosecution? 

35 year old Muslim male Mr Hoorzook on so called "terror financing" charges?

Media reports - some predictably bordering on sensational - have triggered alarmists who thrive on Islamophobia, to smugly say "I told you so", implying that South Africa is a hot bed of "Islamists terrorists". 

What is usually obscured despite being extremely relevant is the fact that fuelling Islamophobia is part of Israel’s dirty political agenda. 

The plot is simple:

*Identify and list opponents to apartheid Israel as terrorists.

*Obtain approval from the USA followed by having the relevant US State Agencies officially designate individuals and groups listed by Israel as terrorists. 

This is hardly surprising nor shocking especially if one has regard for the genocide in Gaza. 

Perpetrated by Israel with full American support - military, financial and political. And in contempt of UN Security Council resolutions. 

The massacres committed in Gaza via US bombs have an ugly precedent: The War on Terror! 

Not too long ago in a study conducted by Sarah Marusek of the University of Leeds, it was established that of the 60 known leading US charities or foundations that fund the Islamophobia industry, the data indicated that 45 of these also finance organizations that directly support Israel’s colonization of Palestine, particularly by funding Zionist colonies. 

Wanted for war crimes yet those who support these criminals by funding a wide array of the regime's illegal terrorist acts, including recruiting mercenaries in direct violation of the Foreign Military Assistance Act (FMAA), are immune from prosecution. 

On the other hand in the matter of Ziyadh Hoorzook who is facing terrorism-related charges for allegedly donating a measly R11500 as charity to some group way back in 2017, one is entitled to ask whether the accused is being made an Islamophobic scapegoat? 

"Cryptocurrency in the form of bitcoin worth R11 500 was allegedly purchased through Luno, a virtual asset service provider, via transfer of money from the accused's bank account to Luno's custody account on 30 November 2017."

The charge is that on the same day (2017), bitcoin was reportedly transferred from Hoorzook's Luno wallet to a wallet associated with an organisation that describes itself as "an independent charity".

Sounds ridiculous? 

As a sovereign independent state, South Africa must resist America's unilateral designation of groups and individuals as terrorists.

Our history is replete with examples of the manipulation by the apartheid regime to prescribe the freedom struggle as terrorist. 

To ignore it will result in an abuse of law enforcement given that America's decrees lack due process.

⚡Deranged terrorist Ben Gvir:

“The deal that is being formed is terrible. I know its details well:

it includes the release of hundreds of murderous terrorists from prisons, the return of Gazzans, including thousands of terrorists, to the northern Gazza Strip, withdrawing the IDF from the Netzarim axis, and returning the threat to the residents of the encirclement [Gazza envelope] - thereby effectively erasing the war achievements that have been achieved with much blood by our fighters, so far, in the Gazza Strip.

Not only that, it does not lead to the release of all the hostages, and seals the fate of the remaining hostages, who are not included in the deal, to death.

Our withdrawal alone will not prevent the deal from being implemented.

Therefore, I call on my friend, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, to join me in full cooperation against the terrible deal that is being formulated, and together to inform the Prime Minister clearly and firmly that if the deal is implemented, we will withdraw from the government together.

I emphasize: Even if we are in the opposition, we will not bring down Netanyahu, but this move is our only chance to prevent its implementation, and in fact to prevent the surrender of the State of Israel to Hamas, after more than a year of bloody war.”

We could put it down to personal chagrin, but whatever the reason, outgoing CIA director William Burns has admitted the US knows Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, nor does it have a nuclear weapons programme.

In an interview with the off-beat state broadcaster National Public Radio, Burns made the frank admission, knowing it will snarl up any plans Donald Trump may be harbouring to demonise the Shiite state once again.

Observers are bound to reference Burns's admission if the White House ever again turns its sights on Teheran.

'Weakness is strength'

Burns was asked whether Iran may accelerate its efforts to obtain nuclear weapons given the setbacks the Islamic Republic and its allies in the regional Axis of Resistance have sustained over the past year.

He replied: "The Iranian regime could decide in the face of that weakness that it needs to restore its deterrence as it sees it and, you know, reverse the decision made at the end of 2003 (an oral fatwa issued by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei) to suspend their weaponization program."

However, Burns clarified, "We do not see any sign today that any such decision has been made, but we obviously watch it intently. "

He added that Iran's weakness could also go in the opposite direction, opening the way negotiations for a nuclear deal similar to the one signed by Iran and the United States under President Obama in 2014.

Burns was personally involved in cobbling together that deal that was welcomed by the world as an opportunity for wider peace in Arabia.

Trump later withdrew from the deal following intense lobbying by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, so Burns' rare moment of truth may well have been motivated by personal resentment he may feel after seeing all his hard work undone.

"You know that that sense of weakness could also theoretically create a possibility for serious negotiations, too. And, you know, that's something the new administration is going to have to sort through. I mean, it's something I have a lot of experience in with the secret talks a decade ago, a little more than a decade ago with the Iranians. So, you know, that's that's also a possibility," Burns stated.

Career diplomat

He served in America's diplomatic corps throughout his service, making Burns the first director of the CIA drawn from the ranks of career diplomats. He knows Trump will have no interest in leaning on his experience, that he'll be watching from the sidelines as the career billionaire settles into his presidential chair this coming Monday.

Burns also said he believed a ceasefire in Gaza is not far off, saying Iran's weakness and the setbacks its "Axis of Resistance" had suffered in the last six months had opened up a rare chance to go for peace.

"So there's every reason for political leaders to recognize that enough is enough. That perfect is rarely on the menu in the Middle East, and that, you know, it's time to make a deal."

"Enough is enough" is typically duplicitous, a routine feature of America's tendency to wrap up complex, inconvenient facts in idiom and banality. It begs the question: When is genocide ever "enough"; surely it should always be "too much"?

But, it's a bit late for Burns to ask that question; it never occurred to ask it while he had a hand on the steering wheel of the seventh-most-powerful spy agency in the world, so why bother now?

His army of economic hitmen were unable to discern that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza throughout.

But don't lean your hopes for a change under Trump.

Remaining studiously blind to inconvenient facts is probably the pre-eminent requirement for the job of a CIA director, but it's not something Burns' replacement, John Radcliffe, will seemingly have to worry about.

Career 'yes man'

He's not a career spook, nor a career diplomat. While some point out he has "intelligence experience", that was just for a brief period during the final months of Trump's last administration.

He was also criticised for lacking experience on his first appointment as director of national intelligence. Radcliffe's previously served as a prosecutor in Texas and has excelled only as a blind, Trump loyalist.

He's accused Iran of trying to interfere in US elections and has remained welded in unquestioning sycophancy to Trump's hip.

Whatever Trump says or decides in the coming days about Iran, Syria, Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, Chad and the West African "Coup States", Radcliffe is bound to support and amplify, much as Burns did throughout his blood-soaked stay at "the top".


Muhammad Amin

With the real Gaza death toll nearing 80 000, reports from Arabia indicate a ceasefire deal may be, finally, nearing completion, with Israeli sources Monday telling the Nazi state's media a "breakthrough" had occurred Sunday night.

They claimed a "final" draft of the agreement had "broadly" been agreed on between Israel's negotiating team, Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and Donald Trump's and Joe Biden's two envoys to Arabia. Trump's man only recently joined negotiations.

Perhaps, the prospect of no longer getting free passes from Genocide Joe Biden's infamous "red lines" finally pushed the Zionazis over the peace line.

The Times of Israel is reporting an Israeli official told Reuters that Jerusalem had yet to receive a draft proposal from Qatar. But Israel’s Channel 12 reported the draft was received overnight and that it was broadly acceptable to Israel. It said the draft had been approved by exiled Hamas leaders, and “everything” now depended on the agreement of Muhammad Sinwar, Hamas’s de facto leader in Gaza.

England's Independent reports Monday the draft was handed over to Israeli and Hamas officials in Doha after a "midnight breakthrough". Clearly, the draft was physically handed over to Israel's top-rank genocidaires; the Nazi state seems be typically experiencing difficulty telling the truth.

Israeli sources said the Zionazis had "broadly" accepted the deal, probably to give them enough escape room should the Nazi state revert to form and try and pull out of the deal once the hey-nonny-nonny, feel-good factor from Trump's inauguration on January 20 dies down.

Trump has threatened there'll be "hell to pay" if a peace agreement is not in place by the time he is inaugurated next week Monday. The threat is a bit late for the Palestinians, but it seems to have worked with the Israelis, forcing Israel's Fuhrer Benjamin Netanyahu to send his Genocide A-Team to the talks.

Markaz Sahaba reported Sunday: "Israeli Fuhrer Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday he would sent top security officials to the Doha talks to reach a ceasefire deal, including Mossad chief David Barnea, the head of Israel's missing and captive soldiers division and Nitzan Alon, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, and political adviser Ophir Falk.

"The decision comes after Netanyahu held a meeting with Defence Minister Israel Katz and other top security officials, as well as negotiators with the Biden administration and incoming Trump administration."

Hamas said Monday afternoon: "“We renew our pledge with our steadfast and patient people and with our heroic prisoners in the prisons, and we affirm that their freedom is near.”

The Times of Israel confirmed Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, had put pressure on Netanyahu's team to accept the deal. Biden's envoy, Brett McGurk reportedly just stood on the sidelines, scuffing lines in the sand with his toe.

Al Thani's task was to pressure Hamas into accepting the deal; he would not have had much work to do as Hamas had agreed to the deal in May already.

Some Israeli media claimed the Nazi state had already accepted the deal, causing apoplexy among right-wing politicians.

Channel 12, emphasising that its news bulletins had been approved by Israel's military censor (Imagine: a news agency that proudly and openly tells its viewers its bulletins are censored by the military?), said the deal was broadly similar to the phased, May agreement that Hamas has always insisted is the real deal.

Hamas was furious after Israel typically reneged on that agreement - that has put together by the Israelis.

That deal foresees captives being released as the first stage, with "humanitarian cases" - women, children, men over 50, released first.

On the 16th day, talks would begin to release men of military age. The third would feature talks on governance and reconstruction of Gaza.

A source told Israel's Channel 13 “if Hamas responds soon, all the details can be finalized within days.”

The Independent reports a Palestinian official close to the talks said information from Doha was "very promising", adding: "Gaps were being narrowed and there is a big push toward an agreement if all goes well to the end."

Hamas has always insisted that the deal must lead to a permanent end to the war and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.


Alameen Templeton

Just two weeks remain before Nazi Israel's "anti-UNRWA" bill is due to take effect, outlawing the Palestinian relief agency's work and preventing the only UN agency dedicated to providing essential aid to Palestinians from operating.

UN secretary general Antonio Guterres has appealed to Israeli Fuhrer Benjamin Netanyahu not to sign the bill into law as it will result in unavoidable starvation and loss of life.

Danny Dannon, Israel's UN "ambassador", has fired back, saying the Nazi state will simply take over UNRWA's sites and duties and can be trusted to provide aid to Palestinians - despite Israel openly blowing up aid trucks and their drivers, preventing others from getting from the south to the north of Gaza, and preventing others from getting from the Israeli borders to the enclave.

Essential agency in Gaza

The New Arab reports Israel has been doing a great deal of contingency planning with non-UNRWA agencies such as WFP, who are under strong US pressure to take over aid imports from UNRWA. As a result, the amount of aid taken into Gaza by UNRWA has reduced significantly.

In Gaza, only UNRWA has the infrastructure to distribute aid to scale, such as vehicles, warehouses, distribution centres and staff. However, Israeli authorities are making this extremely difficult. They claim to be “deconflicting” aid deliveries, but according to UN sources there is clear evidence that Israeli soldiers are firing on vehicles and allowing criminal gangs to plunder convoys with impunity.

Dr Lex Takkenberg, Senior Advisor with Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), and other researchers have just completed an as yet unpublished assessment of the implications of Israel’s ban on UNRWA. It says much the same thing.

Their study confirms that with the lack of contingency planning, the suffering of the Palestinian population, particularly in Gaza, will increase dramatically, as the backbone of the humanitarian operation crumbles without an alternative structure in place.

UNRWA has pointed out many of its facilities are schools - 10 schools, three clinics and a training centre. Pupils are likely to have their curricula subjected to "Judaisistation", in contravention to its obligations under law and confirmed by the International Court of Justice to allow Palestinians to set their own curricula.

A home for settlers

The aid organisation's massive headquarters in Sheikh Jarrah is another bone of contention. Its compound contains several huge warehouses that have been subjected to repeated attacks. Rumours are swirling Israel's notorious "Land Authority" wants to seize the compound and turn it into 1 440 housing units for illegal settlers/squatters.

Its Al-Quds HQ is also in the twilight zone. Staff have been told to relocate to offices in Amman after their centre had been under "review" for several years. Staff were told the closure had been "fast-tracked" due to challenges in 2024, "including visa issuance, visa duration and lack of issuing diplomatic ID cards. These challenges have inhibited our effectiveness to work as a Headquarters in Jerusalem”.

UNRWA staff have already transferred thousands of archival refugee files from Gaza and the West Bank to a "safe location". Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner general of the organisation says UNRWA is "the custodian of the Palestinian refugee's identity and history" going back 75 years.

That's the entire history of occupation and Israeli would dearly love to wipe that out, like its trying to wipe out Palestinian lives in Gaza.

Even the memory of it is anathematic to Israel that likes to present itself as the land of "God's chosen people"; every loaf of bread, every cup of sugar delivered by UNRWA throughout 75 years of occupation is evidence of Israel's entire history of Palestinian brutalisation.

The data also represents an essential backdrop of evidence for legal cases, providing an undeniable, empirical audit of aid provided to Gaza before October 7 and during the sad genocide thereafter.

It is the essential proof that Israel has waged a starvation campaign aimed at extermination, with genocide at its core, ever since October 7 2023.

Proof of genocide

"The preservation of these files is essential to protecting the rights of Palestine Refugees under international law,” Lazarini told Anadolu Ajensi, adding: “It is time for a peaceful diplomatic solution that will end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict including addressing the plight of Palestine Refugees once and for all."

On October 28, the Israeli Knesset passed a law prohibiting UNRWA’s operations in the occupied territories after accusing UN workers of participating in the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks in Israel. The UN agency denies any involvement in the attacks.

According to Lazzarini, the ban would have a "disastrous impact on the people we support."

Saudi Arabia's The New Arab says UNRWA's banning "would have profound political significance, particularly for the global Islamic community because it would set the seal on Israel’s illegal annexation of Jerusalem, home to Al Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest shrine in Islam.

"It would also be a violation of the ruling last July by the International Court of Justice, (ICJ), demanding that the occupation ends.

"The annexation of Jerusalem as the “eternal and undivided capital of the Jewish state” which began with the occupation in 1967, would become another illegal fact on the ground.

"Crucially, Jerusalem will have been unilaterally removed from whatever is left of the Middle East Peace Process.

"Arab governments, particularly Saudi Arabia and Jordan, must therefore act now, and decisively, to save their holy city. The loss of Jerusalem will undoubtedly provoke a violent reaction among Palestinians and likely lead to calls for jihad more widely. In the context of an explosive Middle East this can only engender further destabilising tensions for governments in the region.

Denmark’s Foreign Minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, affirmed on Monday that his country sees no viable alternative to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (Unrwa), stating, "for sure not in the near future," Reuters reported.

Responding to a question from Haaretz regarding Israel's decision to end cooperation with Unrwa,, Rasmussen noted, "We definitely do not see eye to eye on this issue." He further stressed, "Unrwa, cannot operate in Israel under new laws, but what about the occupied territories? We support Unrwa."


*Why does Britain not recognize the Palestinian state: Here is an answer:

Jordanian experts revealed the legal details of Palestinian financial accumulations that were seized by the British Mandate authorities when they ended the mandate period over Palestine, which is the main reason that prevents the British government from recognizing the legitimacy of the Palestinian state.*

The expert, lawyer Muhammad Al-Subaihi, presented some documentary evidence and numbers proving that the British Mandate government transferred money and gold from Palestine to London.

According to what Al-Subaihi announced, about 1,000 tons of Palestinian gold were transferred to London according to administrative decisions in accordance with a British legal amendment that followed in 1948.

According to this procedure, the Palestinian Monetary Authority, which was following the British Trusteeship Law, was controlled by the League of Nations resolution.

The numbers that Al-Subaihi spoke about are very huge and were previously controlled on May 15, 1948.

Accordingly, the funds of the Palestine Monetary Authority were frozen and controlled at a rate of 138 million Palestinian pounds at the time, in addition to the transfer of a thousand tons of gold whose value at that time was approximately 70 to 80 billion dollars, but its cumulative value now amounts to about 6 trillion pounds in British currency.

Al-Subaihi, according to what was published by the Ammon electronic newspaper on Monday, linked these funds that were controlled by the British to Britain’s difficult decision to recognize the Palestinian state, while hinting that this recognition may legally mean that the British government is forced to return the funds at their cumulative value, not just the fundamental value.

An internal Israeli military inquiry revealed that two kibbutz residents, Tomer Eliaz-Arava and his mother Dikla Arava, were likely killed by Israeli fire during the October 7, 2023, operation.

The investigation, based on testimonies from soldiers and civilians, detailed that 17-year-old Tomer was initially taken by #Hamas fighters. Soldiers later misidentified him as a threat and fatally shot him.

The army's investigation suggests that the mother was killed when Israeli forces fired at the vehicle, mistaking it for one carrying Resistance fighters.

The army further claimed that absolute certainty about the causes of the two deaths could not be determined.

WHY CALIFORNIA?

Because this federal state is the capital of Silicon Valley and home to global tech giants and internet infrastructure, a hub for major international corporations, a leader in technological innovation, and the headquarters of the entertainment industry.

70% of its residents are among the wealthiest individuals in America, with the largest Jewish community, making it one of the richest states in the world, boasting an annual income exceeding $2 trillion.

California serves as the backbone of the 'deep state' [the real controllers of America], and targeting it means hitting the core of global Zionist arms—finance, media, public opinion, culture and politics.

The forces behind [California's destruction] have one goal: to dismantle the Zionist pyramid that seeks to dominate and destroy the world in pursuit of the “Golden Billion”* project.

*"Golden Billion" - defined as a Russian conspiracy theory which states:
