We have entered a new era in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The old days of Israel committing war crimes against the downtrodden, captive Palestinians are over. The world has done zero to address Israel’s fundamental crime of nation-stealing: a megalith crime that can only be described as the longest and most vicious war crime in our modern history. A crime that millions of people around the world consider to be even worse than the holocaust. After some 73 years of enduring relentless Israeli terrorism, land-theft, cultural appropriation AND the silence of the world, the Palestinian Resistance has finally taken charge and has, literally overnight, turned the tables against Israel. From here on, there will be accountability for Israel for any crime it commits against the Palestinians. From here on, all previous Israeli red lines will be crossed in favor of the Palestinians. From here on, the death of Israel is no longer a far-fetched fantasy. From here on, the Palestinian Resistance will take charge of Palestine’s destiny. And its destiny is total liberation.
Whether this liberation takes place in a day, in a week, in a month or a year, the gates of liberation are now open, and nobody on earth can close them.
The situation in the holy land is currently fluid – rocket and missile strikes continue by both sides with no end in sight as I write this. There is no point in talking casualties and targets in this article as this is not a journalistic report but a brief look at America’s strategy in the Middle East.
The pertinent question here is: with Israel’s hegemony being in an evident state of profound decline, will the US drop Israel in order to preserve its remaining influence in the Middle East? Or, will it stick to a weak and dying Israel and thus be evicted from the region with it? We know that both China and Russia are waiting on the sidelines for an opportunity to snatch America’s influence in the Mideast region. There will not be a vacuum left once Israel falls and takes the US down with it. China and Russia will collect the prize and immediately fill in the vacuum. Begs the question here therefore: is America prepared to lose to China and Russia just to appease a limping Israel?
Simply: what is more important for America: maintaining its own superpowedom, or supporting Israel indefinitely and unconditionally?
This is a serious strategic conundrum for the current US’s State Department, for the Pentagon and the Deep State, not to mention the White House as well, and mindful here that all these high offices in DC are infiltrated and already controlled by AIPACers and by Jewish power. With the Palestinian cause now being globally more popular than ever, and with the Palestinian Resistance now being an offensive-and-defensive power to reckon with, the oft repeated undemocratic and nauseating American phrase of ‘Israel has the right to defend itself’ is now transforming into ‘Palestine has the right to defend itself’.
Indeed, any fair-minded person would support an occupied people’s right to self-defense. Apropos, any justice-loving person would support the slogan of ‘Palestine has the right to defend itself’.
The history of America’s total and unconditional support for the state of Israel goes back to the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson. There was support for Israel before then, but not unconditionally and not fanatically so. For some 58 years now, American administration after American administration has favored Israel above any other nation in the world, especially above all other nations in the Mideast. It justified this blind support by using warmongering Israel as both a showroom to exhibit and sell its arms from, as well as an attack dog that fights against Arab nationalism that back in the day was aligned with the Soviet Union. Not forgetting here that American Jews of Hollywood also manufactured a ‘moral’ reason for America’s support of the Jewish state by pitting America as the absolute hero and savior of Jews from the holocaust, even though US forces entered WW2 belatedly, and did so under dubious circumstance, I may add.
But the above three main reasons are no longer valid this side of the 21st century. Let us inspect them one by one.
FIRST, Israel as the American MIC showroom is no longer effective and profitable, and this is because, despite Israel having the most advanced American weapons in the region, it has not actually won a single war since 1973 – and even that war was won by a hairline when the West came to rescue Israel at the 11th hour. We can say here that the supermodel has aged and her chin is too cracked to sell beauty products. Sales of American weapons in the Middle East are no longer dependent on Israel’s so-called war heroism and victories, but on inter-Arab fighting that’s instigated and incited by a treacherous, jingoistic Israel. Experts on Arab history will tell you that Arab tribes are stuck in a make-war-then-make-peace cycle, and not in a permanent make-eternal-war posture, as indeed Israel’s State motto appears to be. We see evidence of this historians’ view today with the current rapprochement between Syria and Saudi Arabia. After a decade of hostility and head-chopping warfare between them, these two Arab enemies are now making a concreted effort towards genuine peace. So if Saudi Arabia is no longer needing to buy billions of dollar’s worth of US weapons per year to defend itself with, and when Riyadh is also simultaneously offering peace concessions to Iran as well, can MIC rely on Saudi Arabian patronage like it used to? There are simply no more big wars between Arab-on-Arab and Arab-on-Iranian to be had in the foreseeable future. These projects have already been tried and attempted and dropped, and so all possible lucrative weapons contracts no longer exist. For MIC, as well as for any other mega corporation, it’s the ‘bottom line’ that decides all at the end of the day. Clearly, MIC can no longer rely on either Israel’s war victories, or on its insidious war-brokerage for its lucrative annual profits. MIC is presently looking eastwards to make its future profits. The Middle East has been milked dry right to the last drop. The MIC reason for supporting the Jewish state therefore is no longer valid.
SECONDLY, as we all already know, the Soviet Union has long gone and a Russian Republic has assumed its place. Arab nationalism too has also transformed into something more fluent and nifty, otherwise now known as ‘The Resistance’. Resistance against Israel and its Apartheid practices, that is. Resistance against Jewish supremacy and racist Zionism. The Arab Resistance today is enjoying more popularity than ever, despite the spinelessness of some Arab leaders, and despite the fake ‘Deal of the Century’ that 4 Arab nations have signed up for – two of them reluctantly so, I may add. Really, the Deal of the Century is seen by Arab citizens as a Jewish-Chabadist scam that collapsed in its infancy with Trump’s failure to secure a second White House term. There are currently several hundred million Arab citizens from all over the Arab world who remain fully committed to the Resistance. Nay, a considerable chunk of them are even ready for martyrdom if it helps aid the Resistance in its war against all occupational forces in the Middle East, starting and ending with the eviction of Zionism and Zionists from the region.
Here, Palestine, actually, more precisely the city of Jerusalem is the ultimate symbol and very location where the enemy must first be confronted. Arab passion for liberating Palestine, and especially the city of Jerusalem is not only a moral, ethical and patriotic issue for them, but first and foremost, it is a collective profundity: a religious duty for the majority of both Christian and Muslim Arabs. No Israeli propaganda or Jewish bribe can dilute or alter this passion for Jerusalem that rattles and keeps growing in the breast of Arab citizenry. The Israelis who first established the state of Israel by force of arms used to confidently say of the Palestinians: “the old will die and the young will soon forget,” meaning: the 1948 Arab generation resisting the initial Jewish invasion will soon die and the next generation will forget their parent’s cause. Evidently, the Jews here gravely miscalculated: no such thing ever transpired. New generations of Palestinians born from 1948 and onward only got more resistant, more resilient, more motivated and more attached to their land that was usurped by the invading Jews of Europe. No Palestinian ‘forgot’ their parental trauma – how on earth could they when daily Israeli brutality was heaped upon them, thus reminding them daily of their parent’s agony and catastrophe? Nobody forgot the ethnic cleansing, the numerous massacres and the injustice committed against their parents by racist European Jews. The current eruption of violence between Israel and the Gaza Resistors, who only two nights ago bombarded Tel Aviv with endless streams of rockets like never before, while simultaneously, literally all Palestinians living inside of Israel proper or under Israeli occupation took to the streets in raging protest: all this is notable and loaded with electric shocks. Here we see a new optic and we understand from it a new reality: the whole of Palestinian society, though divided by Apartheid walls and territorial fragmentation imposed by Israel, are currently united in simultaneous rage and cries for freedom, cries for resistance, despite Israel having for decades created political divisions between them. This current and united military and civic Palestinian resistance is a testament to the facts stated above. Palestine lives! It has not ‘forgotten’, or been forgotten. Yes, the Palestinian individual and collective memory is irrepressible and indelible. Only true justice will dull down this impossibly painful memory: this 73 year old nightmare that the Jews have inflicted on the native Palestinians. The Palestinians being mostly capitalist traders have not aligned with any old-school Soviet nation or leaders for material protection or for economics: the Palestinian Authority under Abbas has been nothing but 100% compliant with Western wishes and instruction. For decades now Palestine has been aligned with and reliant on Western material charity and aid, despite the West’s blatant support for their Jewish occupiers. This excuse of support for Israel being due to Arab alignment with Soviet Russia is now completely and absolutely moot. Anyone, be they a politician or a propagandist citing the ‘Soviets’ as reason for supporting Israel should be laughed right off the stage.
This leaves the THIRD justification of ‘America the good guy saved the victim Jews from Nazi Germany’ to dissect. Without getting into the finer, historic details of WW2, suffice it to say here that the Arabs are a completely different people than the Germans, and their struggle with the Jewish state is based on Israel’s occupation of Arab land and not on belief in the Nazi manifesto. Furthermore, Israel is a wealthy nation who is in possession of actual nuclear weapons, therefore it cannot possibly be categorized as a ‘victim’ in the context of the Arab-Israeli struggle. In America, it is basically Hollywood and the Christian-Zionist community who carry the majority of genuine support for Israel. Most of the Senate and Congress are corrupt and support Israel because of bribes, blackmail, or coercion, therefore their support cannot be considered as genuine. Currently, Hollywood is hemorrhaging influence and power, just like Israel is, and can presently exert but little influence over the American psyche. And the Christian-Zionists remain an enclaved minority with influence only within their own communities: outside of their communities, they are disrespected and referred to as ‘Jesus freaks’ by the rest of the American populace. Everyone is allowed to believe what they want, but issues of belief do not the decision-making for Empire make. Empire, in order to survive must make decisions that are steeped in cold pragmatism and based on security and prosperity interests, not on ethereal ideology or group superstition, especially minority group superstition. Empire has no permanent friends or permanent enemies. Its powers are drawn, above all, from its ability to make stable, long-term decisions that propagate its longevity. Whether American troops saved the Jews or not is now beside the point. The crux of the matter is that Empire now finds itself supporting a dying horse in the guise of Israel and there is no more medicine to be found for the horse. As any sound rancher would tell you: stop the hugging and start digging a grave for your four-legged pal. If Americans really believe that they are ‘the good guy’, then they should start acting like it and start making funeral arrangements for Israel before its dead belly bloats and festers in the sun.
To those who still believe that Israel is almighty powerful and doubt that Israel’s end is approaching, I say the following: you are reading Jewish and Jewish-centric media where nothing is real.
Considering the intractable, negative military position that Israel finds itself in today: surrounded by an armed and capable, eclectic Axis of Resistance without, and infiltrated by an armed and capable Palestinian resistance within, no US weapon can now provide it with a certain measure of security. Politically speaking, Israel is in its worst domestic crisis ever: with four failed elections and a fifth one on the way inside of two years, incendiary and divisive rhetoric between all Jewish parties is the current zeitgeist and order of the day.
The West can believe it or not, but in the Levant, the latest rocket and strike exchanges between Israel and the Palestinian Resistance – a combat that finds the Palestinian Resistance crossing all previous Israeli-imposed red lines; a combat that the Palestinian Resistance is utilizing to establish a deterrence against ongoing Israeli crimes of ethnic cleaning and home-evictions – the view is crisp and clear: Israel is at its weakest ever, and the Axis of Resistance is stronger than ever, therefore Israel’s grim reaper is in sight.
Israel’s death is now a fait accompli, a forgone conclusion.
But even if readers are still unconvinced by this Levantian reality and facts on the ground, for the sake of wisdom and the future stability of Empire, it still behooves all Americans to now openly discuss the pros and cons of supporting the dying Israel project. This open soul-searching should be solely focused on this question: do all humans have the right to defend themselves, or only some of us have this inalienable right?
My personal answer to this question is obvious. Everyone has the right to defend themselves against harm. Impossible therefore to deny the occupied Palestinians their right to self-defense.
Yes. Palestine has the right to defend itself.
Either that, or enjoy living in your Animal Farm.
Amen Taxi. A new day is dawning. May this foretell Peak Jew and the restoration of freedom for all peoples.
For the past 48 hours, israel has been especially vicious with its attacks on Gaza, intentionally targeting residential towers and wotnot, hoping to appease the blood-lusting jewish israelis who think that they've won just because more Palestinian civilians have died than jewish ones. Never mind that victory in war isn't defined by how many die on each side, but by whether a side's declared mission that's determined before combat was successfully achieved or not.
We remember the days, not long ago, when the the ratio of dead Palestinian to jew was 600:1. The discrepancy has greatly closed in during this round of combat. We don't know the exact figures of dead jews because israel always fiddles with numbers. Palestinian casualties right now are at 70+.
Netanyahu and his army of terrorists think that nobody has noticed how they're too chicken-shit to physically enter Gaza and occupy it in order to suppress its resistance activity with certainty. They think that no one has noticed the unfocused disarray in their security forces posted in Jerusalem, the West Bank, the 48-Triangle and other major mixed towns like Lod. They think their air force can bluff and project fake deterrent power that israel simply does not have anymore. They would like us to believe that Gaza simultaneously attacking israeli gas pipes, oil storage facilities, the capital of tel aviv, Ben Gurion and even the Dimona territory is a nothing burger, and not a stuffing of israel's face with existential threats.
Fact is, israel's defenses are frayed, all thanks to geography, to the spirit of Palestinian resistance, and to Iran who has helped the Palestinians with material weapons and training. Israel's security fabric is now torn and no tailor can stitch it back together again.
This latest round has opened the gates of reverse-aliya: the very thing that israel fears the most. After the Hezbollah, that is.
Great post as usual Taxi. Let’s hope these insights you delineate seep into Western and particularly American discourse. The cowardly zionists think only they are allowed to “defend.” What, you mean the Palestinians are allowed to shoot back? Horrors. That’s why, of course, they so fear mighty Hezbollah. The Lebanese resistance has moved beyond deterrence to strategic checkmate. Palestinian resistance is not far behind. The apartheid state’s demise rapidly approaches.
All of this morning’s targeting in Gaza was on civilian structures. All of them.
Jews do this all the time, thinking that Gaza people will turn against their Resistance if their house or loved ones were destroyed by israeli missiles. They think that Gazans will blame their protectors and not their assaulters.
Maybe in the upside-down jewish universe this happens, but not here on earth. Not here on terra firma.
From Gaza to tel aviv, with love:
The israeli media is now saying that plans for a Gaza ground invasion are being "drawn up."
Right you are, mister idf – gone on, go for it.
We all remember what happened last time they tried this: their tanks drove 2 kilometers inside of Gaza then right back out of Gaza again with tail between legs and pee stain on their khakis.
The Gaza resistance would most certainly welcome an 'invasion'.
Escalation UPDATE:
Gaza just sent an Ayyash-250 right at Ramon airport that's located way down south, close to Eilat/Gulf of Aqaba. The israeli media is expressing shock at seeing this hit: first time that Gaza used an Ayyash 250 – first time that they strike this far down south and with such a destructive weapon. Many military bases are near the Ramon airport, and also many hangers housing most of israel's F-16, F-15 and F-35s. This clearly represents a threat to the military's jugular: its airforce. Extremely worrisome for israelis that Gaza can now also target and reach its air force fleet. They're scrambling to now relocate their fleets of fighter jets. The jewish media is saying: "whatever succor Netanyahu gave us yesterday and this morning with strikes on Gaza and killing a leader there, after the Ramon airport bombing, we're back to where we were before: in the shelters."
I’d like to help out the jews here and offer them this big ol’ empty barn near me to store one of their F-35’s in. So how about it? 🙂
I'm hearing that the israelis are also frantically calling around: trying to organize hiding some of their jet fighters out in Cyprus or in Greece. They will hide some in the US's military radar facility in occupied Palestine.
Abu Ayda, Qassam Brigade leader, just gave a televised speech and warned that Jerusalem is the biggest red line, and that from here on, any attempt at stealing more of it through evictions of Palestinians from there, or if Al-Aqsa is assaulted or vandalized again by jewish settlers or jewish police, these actions will be met with deadly force.
*(You know, FINALLY, it's so cool to see sommmmmmbody defending Jerusalem from the judeofication virus with more than just a fist or a kitchen knife. Gaza rockets are like the syringe that will kill this virus).
Abu Ayda also owned the strike on Ramon airport that had traveled a good 250 klms. Ominously, he also warned all global airlines: "You cross Palestine skies at your own risk. We strongly advise against it. Don't fly over Palestine. We also advise you don't park or land in any of the occupier's airports. All the enemy's airports are our targets."
He went on to praise the 'brilliant engineers who helped assemble and prepare our stock of destructive weapons." And of course he gave verbal comfort to the people of Palestine, asking them to hold fast to their faith and prepare for victory.
Israel's military radio is saying that right now, 70% of israeli jews are in shelters.
be kind and send aid to existentially threatened yid.
roll of duct tape and astronaut diapers good start.
a prayer like this can't hurt: "Dear Lord, please supply door stops
to prop open the gates of Hell for arriving yid.
amen, awomen, athings
Postcards from the End of Israel?
We're hearing lots of stories of jewish settler gangs beating up lone Palestinian males just for walking down the street; chasing, kicking and spitting on children who are shopping for food with their mothers – even several attempts at kidnapping Palestinians have been reported in Jerusalem and in the West Bank – and of course, settler gangs trying to rip off Palestinian ladies' hijab, and succeeding at it most of the time.
In other words: violent jewish racism in action.
When I hear of stories like the above and my blood boils over, I revert to one of my favorite fantasies of late: sandalled Houthis swanning around Jerusalem with ak-47s crossed over their shoulders.
Aaaah, yeah I feel better now…
Taxi they are doing more than just beating…they are beating them to death. Saw it on twitter that has now banned most of those I have followed. I also watched a father killed by the idf in cold blood in front of his family…and that twitter user is also cut off. If it weren't for the brave Palestinian souls able to film we would never know about it. I watched a whole family buried beneath rubble saved by brave men of honor digging them out by their bare hands…
. I watched a child saved alive under the rubble. I watched jew lynch mobs carrying bats and the like all dressed in black (in the city of Lod) going after Palestinians…one was beaten to death. Does anyone with a grain of thinking understand where ANTIFA/BLM come from? I sneak in these tweets to a christian news channel live chat trying to get at least ONE PERSON awake of the hell caused by israel. One female caught one of them and replied back how shocked she was…and we both got banned. I get banned everyday but go back the next with a fist full of images. What else can I do except fantasize the jews in a TRUE AND REAL HOLOCAUST that they worship and extort the world for. I'm not sharing anymore twitter user's because they will get cut off. So I will come up with another solution 
. Thank you for being here. btw…SyrianGirl, Marwa Osman and many others inside Gaza have been cut off. There is a place called https://t.me/TIMESOFGAZA (Telegram) but I have to download it and don't know if my old computer can contain it…but will try. btw…everyday I shout out for the Houthi's to somehow arrive on the scene…agreed I am with you on that as they are my amazing fearless hero's alongside Hezbollah. I continue to be in constant remembrance of Qasem Soleimani who's legacy has brought the resistance to this point in time…(video below) Also leaving a 2d video titled 'Contradictions Qasem Soleimani, (my video) قاسم سلیمانی تضادها' by an Iranian artist who goes by the name of Soureh (a new soul sister).
Oh man the jews the jews the jews tsk tsk tsk. Worst, irreligious people the world has ever known. But really, should we ever expect better from what Jesus rightfully called 'the synagogue of satan'?
Loathsome!
Gaza rocket struck the Iron Dome located in Nir Ishak(?). Nine Iron Domes left functioning.
Yes, I like the thought of the Houthis too. Such great warriors, seemingly casual, unique sense of humour and taking great enjoyment in setting fire to brand new US supplied Saudi tanks and personnel carriers.
For the Houthi fan clubsters:

I know you hate MEE…but leaving this for an example of the completely inverted truth about a situation (for anyone new here trying to get understanding).
The information I left in above comment about Lod as witnessed on Twitter…here is how bad the lies are spewed by jews in israel and US mainstream media and now the BAN unleashed on Twitter:
['Suspects in killing of Palestinian man in Lod released on bail']
Three Israeli men suspected of the fatal shooting of a Palestinian in the city of Lod on Monday, are to be released on bail, after a ruling from the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court.
According to the Times of Israel, the three men will be released under "relatively lenient restrictive conditions", while a gag order has been imposed to protect their identities. They will also have a restraining order banning them from Lod, known as Lydd to Palestinians, for several days.
The men argued they killed the Palestinian man in self-defence after violence broke out in the city in the wake of Israeli air strikes on Gaza.
The Palestinian news website Arab48 cited local sources as saying the man, named as protester Moussa Hassona, was shot by an Israeli ultra-nationalist, while the Israeli newspaper Haaretz blamed it on "armed Jewish residents defending against rioters".
Israeli police confirmed the fatality without further explanation.
Israel's public security minister, Amir Ohana, wrote on Twitter that whoever shot Hassona should not have been arrested and called for their release.
"The arrest of the shooter and his friends in Lod, who apparently acted in self-defence, is a terrible thing. Even if there are details the public isn't aware of yet, law-abiding citizens bearing arms increases the authorities' ability to prevent any threat or danger.
"Arrests and releases aren't for the minister to decide. If it were, they'd be released. The law enforcement system would do well to do that."
*******
They fell short of mentioning the beating deaths these mobs have carried out to include lynching…the scenes to these truly horrific. My hatred for my own nation the US has no words to describe except that if I go down with it knowing this ultimate evil is destroyed I gladly accept it. I hate this place and the intentional liars who spew non stop to cover their heinous murders and tortuous deaths for no other reason but to appease satan itself. The Almighty will not slumber at the US day of reckoning…it is so close.
Great article Taxi, so powerfully written, thank you. The big summary is as you said it above :
"Israel’s death is now a fait accompli, a forgone conclusion."
Should ya'l have a time, watch this interview of Laith Marouf by Eva Bartlett, you can sense how a Arab, a Palestinian feel about it, many aspect on Taxi's articles are touched based on the interview as well.
Wow! Thanks for this powerful interview of Laith, Canthama! The resolve in his voice is tangible enough to cut with a knife! I loved his comment about how if anyone harmed a hair on his children's head, he would eat them alive! This is the conviction of a man who has right on his side, while the ones with (US supplied) might on their side don't have the passion of a man defending his land and people. The latter is destined to fail in any struggle, because he won't give up his life for his cause, whereas the former will gladly sacrifice his life without a thought to defend his homeland and his family and friends against terror-mongering zionist vermin. It is common sense to see who will prevail in this conflict.
The end may well be nigh!
Thanks, taxi.
'We're really brave!!!!!!!'
What modern military can win wars with soldiers of this caliber?
Thnx, C&D!
Would <3 to hear this music underneath those clips :o]
You're right. Soldiers running when someone shouts, says it all, doesn't it?
@DANIEL RICH
Yeah, you can almost see the stain on their respective crotches! I have never seen an armed soldier run like a little child from a shout!
Kudos Taxi! This article bats it right out of the park! Wow! What a credible analysis from my favorite writer who is right in the center of the action in the Levant!
I had checked out of blogs for a while because with the fake Covid stress (I have not been vaccinated, and refuse to inject experimental gene therapy into my bloodstream by globalist forces) it has been hard to focus on anything besides our forced isolation and the constant atmosphere of impending doom.
This bold retaliation from Gaza piqued my interest in world affairs once more. Your article sings to me! I saw it was picked up by Unz, and while the usual suspects immediately launched into propagandist mode with inane comments and uneducated observations, not one of them has been able to punch a hole in your carefully stitched together logic. Brava, ma chère amie!
Here's to you with love and gratitude from these blighted states of America. From your lips to any deity's ears (muslim or christian)!
Be well and stay safe. Keep an eye on Macron – that crypto-jew has his sights on Lebanon.
reports are that tanks are being set upon gaza. prayers o/c to the residents. & a belief these tanks will meet with a line of defence they had not expected. thank you taxi for your informative & essential updates. much love to you & the resistance.
Edward Price at the US state Dept came under pressure from reporters including Matt Lee when he was asked ‘do the Palestinians have the right to self defence? He replied this applies to any state, Lee retorted you do see the problem here, right, do you see Palestine as a state? Referring to the US views on the ICC and its stance in the UN, whereupon Price was cornered into implying Palestinians don’t have right to self defence, utterly shameful behaviour from the US, kudos to Matt Lee
Well we all know about the mighty Merkava in Lebanon 2006. Why do the Jews think this time will have a better outcome for them? They are deluded as we all know.
The Resistance needs to fight like an MMA fighter but without rules, knock the Zionists down to the ground and keep smashing their heads until an unconditional surrender is given. If none is forthcoming don’t stop hitting them until they are dead.
Now please, can anyone recomm. any informative websites with up to date non-jew bias?
I do remember in the 2014 Gaza massacre when a Hamas rocket landed 1 mile from Ben Gurion Airport, the FAA would not allow various airlines to use the airport, this caused the Israelis to go ape shit and warned of the cost to tourism and even more to the disaster for the Israeli economy. Israel has so many soft targets.
How come the apartheid regime in Occupied Palestine continue to say they can protect their settlers ? Scenes that prove the Iron Dome is a hoax. The end is near.
Armageddon like scenes coming out of Israel – Iron Dome Defence System Truly Overwhelmed!
Wow! The damage from the rockets in Israel appear to be more extensive than we have been led to believe by our "free" press!
"Armageddon" is an appropriate description. Good.
I don't speak or understand the horrible settler dialect but can guess what they are saying; the residents are whining about their destroyed/damaged homes.
The chickens have come home to roost.
If not the end of the illegal settler state this is surely the end of the Lithuanian immigrant, Benjamin Milikowski's hold on the Zionist reins. I would think he's a high value target for his own voters now, as well as for the Resistance.
Good morning or good evening to y'all.
Sorry I went off the radar last night but my freaking internet connection was playing up and the buffering was taking so long that I just couldn't deal so I turned it all off and went to bed. Long sleep: 10 hours wow I never sleep 10 hours.
Anyhooooz. Thank you so much everybody for your comments and for your support of everything that's decent in this world, symbolized by the Palestine cause.
I'm having my morning coffee right now and surfing the Arab-language print media and TV for info I can share with you. No, I don't bother with English-language media anymore: most of it is either outright propaganda or lacking in substance. Life is too short to hang around liars and their pong.
More comments coming laterz…
Great write up as usual, Taxi.
i enjoyed the part where you explained how america was in a toss up between it's desire to be a superpower and it's metaphysical attachment to religious dogma.
The truth is the average working and business owning american could care less about israel.
an allihouwt yi awliyood. (something the houthi keep chanting)
I'll be hanging around here in the peanut gallery.
Thanks Idiocracy. Good to have you visit.
The Houthi war chant: Al mawt li America, al mawt li isra-eel, al aar li al-Saud. Translated: "Death to America, death to israel, shame on al-Saud."
Al = the
mawt = death
li = to
aar = shame
Notice how 'death' is not wished upon the saudis. This is because the Houthis don't recognize the legitimacy of the saudi rule and still consider them as a mere 'tribe' as opposed to state owners and leaders on the international stage. A 'tribe' that remains a muslim tribe and because the Houthis are devout muslims, they shy away from promoting the killing of other muslims.
The Resistance is calling this battle/war: 'Sword of Jerusalem'. And the jews are calling the same battle/war: 'Guardians of the Wall'.
Yeah you go ahead and 'guard' the freaking devil's wall lol! They love their 'walls', the butthead jews, don't they?
Inside of 3 days (not counting yesterday and this morning), the Resistance rockets caused some $190 million dollars worth of damage. The shekel dropped by 12% yesterday. All factories located in illegal settlements bordering Gaza have been forced shut with some bombed out, and many factories across israel have also closed their doors for production for 'safety' reasons. Tourism has shut down completely. International airlines, including American ones have cancelled all flight to israel till further notice. Israel's major gas pipes were hit: the very pipelines that used to process Iranian gas gifted to them by the terrorist Shah of Iran. (I love the symbolism of this strike!). Israel's economy was already suffering, and now it's fast tanking and will continue tanking while the strikes continue.
We ask here: what is more important for the jew: protecting the shekel or assaulting Palestinians?
The Gaza resistance in this round of fiery exchanges is referring to smarter targets. They're hitting specifically at israel's economy. Of course, Gaza has no 'economy' to speak of so the same cannot be done to them. The terrorist jews know this and instead they're targeting civilians with wonton rage.
Believe you me, israel is desperate to stop the 'Sword of Jerusalem', and it will when the shekel gets punched a few more times over the next several days. It will be the jews who will first cry uncle, but of course, they'll spin it silly in their favor while simultaneously censoring all other narratives that say otherwise.
Fucking cowards hugging on their golden calf, otherwise known as Historic Palestine. Moses, when he returned from his 40 days in the desert sojourn damned them double till eternity to find them hugging on a golden calf instead of paying homage to 'god'.
How history repeats itself in the jewish universe. And how the jews repeatedly never learn.
Yesterday afternoon, Gaza's resistance sent a bunch of suicide drones to an israeli gas processing platform out at sea. Bullseye! A-bye bye gas loot!
The terrorist jews have kept well away from attacking Gaza from the sea. They are worried that Gaza has the capability to strike and drown their military frigates, like the Hezbollah did back in 2006. You bet they freaking do!
Very good article by an honest Taxi Driver.
Thanks for visiting, Gene. All rides in my cab are for free.
Gaza announced that it looks forward to the idf entering Gaza. "Their graveyard is ready,"Abu Hamza announced.
All last night, the israeli media was changing stories: "we're going in," followed by "no, we're not going in" – "we're going in – no, we not going in."
The terrorist jews yesterday had lined up their tanks along the length of Gaza, with some 7,000 soldiers manning tanks and border. This show was intended to be interpreted as 'we're going in' – but enter they didn't, and they won't. It's just for show. Very disappointing. The Levantian natives WANT the idf inside of Gaza. They know that once inside, getting out alive would be a miracle.
Many pro Palestine protests have taken place in major cities around the world these past couple of days, including in LA and in Chicago. Fancy that!
This morning, with peg on nose, I visited twitter briefly and was pleasantly surprised to find what must be thousands of tweets declaring "Palestine has the right to defend itself."
Heh!
Last night, Antony Blinken changed his tune and started saying: "Both sides have to find a way to give each other their rights."
But, nobody is fooled by words that come of the mouths of American power jews. Blinken is attempting to trick the Resistance with his false moderation. We know his intention leans towards protecting the jews and only the jews. We know his prejudice. We know his support of jewish war crimes. And we know his rabbi's instruction. An Arab analyst on TV responded to Blinken with: "They think they can stop the war by offering Gaza the sweet wrapper and not the bonbon."
We don't trust the jews during times of peace and they expect us to trust them in times of war? LOL! Let us not forget here the talmudic slogan that's used by the mossad: "By way of deception thou shalt make war."
Interestingly, the mossad recently changed their motto to: "For by wise guidance you can wage your war" – taken from the bible/proverb 24:6.
So the jews have dropped the talmud instruction in favor of the christian bible? Lol! Nothing but more deception by professional, pathological deceivers!
With jew-owned and jew-controlled social media platforms like twitter and facebook and youtube etc censoring the Palestine narrative left-right-and-center, Chinese Tiktok is doing no such thing. Tiktok currently is where free speech is being practiced, unencumbered and un-smothered by bad jewish breath.
Oh the irony of China allowing free speech while the West is suppressing it. LOL!

I want to sincerely thank our friend Harry Law for always bringing us the legal goods. Below is a copy-paste from his comment on another thread from two days ago:
This above comment came from here below:
https://platosguns.com/2020/11/24/hezbollah-the-beautiful/#comment-31642
I wanna give a HUGE shout-out of love and solidarity to all Palestinian political prisoners, including the ones who've been arrested these past few days – all being illegally held and tortured in israeli jails.
Soon inshallah will come the day when they too will be freed by their Palestinian Resistance, in the same way that Hezbollah freed Lebanese civilian prisoners held illegally and tortured in Khiam prison/south Lebanon back in year 2000.
Here's some footage of the families of Lebanese prisoners storming Khiam and rushing to open prison doors themselves when word got out early in the morning that the israeli military had overnight ran away from south Lebanon with tail between their legs:
And this shocking report on the prisoners of Khiam, with video by Eva Bartlett(?):
Liberation Day in South Lebanon: Resistance and Memory at Khiam Prison
Thanks for another great article and analysis Taxi
The bravery, fortitude, and the unwavering power of resistance of the Palestinian people in the face of such an evil power is awe inspiring
If anyone on this mostly fucked up planet deserves their freedom, human rights and dignity, they do. And they are only fighting and resisting to get back what already belongs to them
I wish they had even better weapons and how I yearn for Hezbollah to join in from the North and destroy this evil, murdering, thieving, occupying cancerous tumour once and for all. This is the one and only thing I look forward to in this world
it's my belief hezbollah is there with them…as is God…but unlike western forces allows the resistance to win this battle, this war. as iran supports the houthis. power wisely used empowers.
Thanks Bornajoo and emersonreturn.
Actually, only last year in one of his speeches, Nasrallah said the following about the Palestinian Resistance: “They are more powerful than the enemy thinks. They have more weapons than the enemy thinks. They are so powerful now and israel remains weak as a spider’s web. The Palestinians alone can defeat israel. They have the plan, the weapons, the training, the radars, everything. They don’t need anything or anyone. But should they ever need anything, anything, then we are here ready to give them everything”.
Oh and I almost forgot: happy fucking Independence Day, israel:
Right now, just after midday, the terrorist jewish police is blocking all Jerusalem streets that lead to Sheikh Jarrah (where it all started over evictions/ethnic cleansing). The jew brutes in uniform are doing this in order to stop the arrival of Palestinians living in other areas joining, in solidarity, the Sheikh Jarrah protest taking place today.
Jews don't want the protests in Sheikh Jarrah to swell up colossal and end up as Western headline. The protestors who are blocked are not retreating and instead starting chant-ins right by the roadblocks. They're also doing 'mass vows' where they all simultaneously and uniformly repeat vows to free Palestine. These 'mass vows' are taking place everywhere Palestinians are protesting, btw. Traffic in Sheikh Jarrah's side of Jerusalem has come to a complete standstill, bothering jews on their birthday more than Arabs (because many Arabs can't afford to own cars in the first place: thank you Apartheid).
*BTW, the final Sheik Jarrah eviction notice that the jewish courts were supposed to publicly deliver three days ago has been postponed 'till further notice'.
Meanwhile in Gaza… well, same-same jewish terrorists targeting civilian structures and citizens, while Gaza rockets continue to be fired east, north and south: landing in illegal jewish settlements etc. Just like yesterday. And just like it will be tomorrow. Till liberation…
And I say till liberation because I can't see how the jews can accept the Palestinian condition of 'stop the ethnic cleansing and land-theft in Jerusalem'. The Gaza resistance has this demand at the top of its list and so therefore no way it will compromise on it. I can see them compromising on other conditions, but NOT this one.
We know that it's impossible for jews to curb or control their kleptomania, especially in Jerusalem. We know that it's impossible for the Palestinian Resistance to now stand idly by while the jews rob Palestinians of the last bite of the Jerusalem pizza. The world won't do anything about it so it's all left to the Palestinian Resistance to shoulder the burden. They will not stop their rocket-firing till a deal with the jews is made. And the longer it takes the jews to let go of what's not rightfully theirs and do a deal, the more chance that the war will expand. Rumblings from the Golan and south Lebanon will announce this expansion.
Thank god Iran gave Gaza a good bunch of weapons. If not for these weapons… man… thank god for these weapons. Of course, I'll remind you here that Gaza has even bigger and better weapons than what you've seen them use these past few days. They have precision ballistics, and they have drone armies.
Can't wait!
Live feeds from Palestine: footage from everywhere in Palestine where big events are taking place. It's in Arabic, but the footage speaks for itself.
(Channel has escaped the jewtube censors so far)
Thank you, Taxi, for offering us a healthy perspective of current world events, we all are in much need. As you say, the turning point is currently taking place in the Middle East.
Using the title of your last post as keyword, I found this live blog from Palestine Chronicle:
https://www.palestinechronicle.com/blog/
Thanks for kind words and great link, dear Antonio.
Horrific pictures and videos in the link’s headlines. I can’t bring myself to watch vids like the one titled: VIDEO: Jewish Extremists Beat Palestinian Man Unconscious on Live TV.
We are definitely at the ‘entrance’ of the much longed-for War of Liberation.
Gaza today targeted an israeli chemical factory in Nir Oz, an israeli kibbutz in the south, and got a bullseye.
Ashkelon, Ashdod, Sderdot, and other Apartheid jewish settlements were wacked up by Gaza too, all in response to relentless and vicious aerial attacks on Gaza's civilians by the terrorist jews.
And the war drums roll on…
It is really amazing to see Qassam Brigade using the very same tactic by the heroes Ansarullah movement in Yemen, clearly hitting key targets that may cause a ripple effect in the economy….KSA felt the heat….the apartheid regime will also feel it deep down….I can easily guess that this past few days generated Billions of USD to the settlers already….these industrial destructions are very expensive to fix, keep it up Palestinians, there is a lot of hope for a total victory, one can smell it in the air.
The terrorist israeli government forced Chevron, the energy giant in israel, to shut down the Tamar natural gas platform off the coast of Ashkelon – till further notice.
Another gut-punch to israel's economy. Tsk tsk, all those shekels going down the sewers faster than you can say 'Apartheid'.
The whole Arab world needs liberating, not just Palestine. Five hundred and fifty years under Ottoman occupation, followed immediately by 40 years of European colonialism (British, French, Italian), followed instantly after that by 73 more years of vile jewish occupation and domination: it’s all really more than ENOUGH FUCKERY ALREADY!
Leave them the heck alone!
Palestinian refugees living in south Lebanon took their protest right to the borderline with israel this afternoon. The jewish border security freaked out, knee-jerked and fired like crazy at them, injuring a Palestinian protestor. The UN stepped in and dissipated the tense situation. Hezbollah: silent and watching. Tomorrow, more such border protests at the israel-Lebanon line are expected. In Jordan, on the border with israel, the same thing happened today too.
Sommmmbody's nerves are seriously getting rattled.
Death by a thousand fears.
hi taxi
i would like to know, out of curiosity, how is it possible that gaza can fire missiles without having places of launch destroyed?
on the other hand, it's funny how i'm visiting your blog several times a day to get updated on the situation while msm has just failed. i get more info from your small and frequent posts, and create a perception more or less accurate of what's going on there, than reading whole (artificial and full of journalistic jargon) articles. kudos to u.
Hiya albagen,
Welcome and thank you for visiting Plato’s.
The answer to your question takes three words: tunnels, tunnels, tunnels. The Gaza Resistance is operating out of their little tunnel villages, sprinkled all over, or I should say ‘all under’ Gaza. That, plus they are probably also using radar scramblers and decoy signals against the enemy.
And you’re probably getting more out of my “small comments” than you are from msm articles because I’m not jewish. Neither am I on the payroll of a jew. Or anybody else, for that matter. That, and also because I am right now living in south Lebanon, with access to fresh, unsoiled news and eye-witness testimony.
hi taxi
thanks for the reply
not to contradict you, but for the sake of discussion, i don't think it's a jewish thing. globally the elites are suppressing inconvenient ideas to preserve their monopoly, wealth, or whatever. of course jews have a prominent role in this, but as the king said at the "Kingdom of Heaven", "…your soul is in your keeping alone…"
Thanks albagen. My understanding is that globalism is a jewsih project, with a handful of Gentile elites inserted into the wheel as token and shield, and for exploitation of their wealth and influence by the Rothchilds. I’m not fully committed to this conclusion, only because at some stage of my research into globalism, I got bored and didn’t actually research further than a certain point. In any case, my decades of research into the jews has taught me that small jews and power jews alike always endeavor, by hook or by crook, to take up the most dominant position in any project they are involved in. They want the final and last say in all matters, especially matters pertaining to finance.
hi taxi
respectfully, i don't agree with you. that jews do evil things to palestinians, no doubt. that jews have bad influence globally, no doubt. when i quoted the king, i was referring to the possibility that a man has his own soul and ideals, and however evil the world surrounding him is, he might remain somewhat pure inside. something as in the "Shawshank Redemption". you can't take freedom out of somebody free inside.
what worries me is the unnecessary repetition of jewish models, modus operandi if you will, in societies worldwide. it seems to me that global elites, evil inside, like those models because they serve them well. they oppress people, take away their freedoms and money, and the people stay quiet and take the blows. if they would revolt against their own elites, "masters" if you will, the evil in the world would be easier to spot and to denounce. (Sidebar: very few speak against israel committing crimes against palestinians. it took gaza response to wake somehow people up and see the obvious. because you have to stand up for yourself, so that the evil can be evident.)
this is the reason why i don't believe that jews have that much importance as you bestow uopn them. it is us, the others, who have created this illusion. we, in all countries in general, have admited evil in our societies and are co-existing with it, hoping it would go away at some point in time. well, it won't. it will only get worse. that's why i do believe that israeli crimes would be easier to be eleminated if other countries have healthy societies.
imagine what would happen if 6, 14 or 27 countries would expell israeli ambassadors, all at the same time.
if you do not, then you're the same as them. if you can't fight evil in your home, you can't fight it on the street.
Thanks, albagen. Actually, the jewish evil is distinctive – you would have to read their talmud to understand their passion for genociding Gentiles, as indeed the talmud instructs them to go forth and genocide all non jews, burn all Gentile cities and farm animals, and destroy all Gentile gods. This is their religious mission statement. They don’t believe we all share the same creator – their god is jewish and for jews only. And if one is not jewish, then they are godless and eternally inferior in the eyes of the talmud. Jews, being a minority-of-a-minority in the world, this means that to them, collective humanity itself does not deserve life, only jews do – and the talmud completely sanctions this world view and encourages jews to go forth and destroy humanity itself (sparing a few Gentiles who will be used as slaves for jews). No other group of humans are indoctrinated literally from birth into the destruction of humanity itself and the world as we know it. No other ‘religion’ but judiasm promotes outright racism and arrogant elitism. I could go on, but I think you get the gist.
Look, we all come to conclusions based on our information collection and our personal experience. Mine has led me to conclude that indeed the jews are the ‘synagogue of satan’. Why else would jesus himself have described them as such? Yeah, he too has read the talmud and his very soul was sickened by its wicked teachings and by its extremist, prejudicial and genocidal world view.
I have zero interest in converting people to my way of thinking of the ‘synagogue of satan’. To each their own and all that good stuff. All I know is that I cannot unlearn what I’ve learned about them from their own books, and from their own criminal intent and actions.
Readers can follow more comments on this very article, republished at the Unz, here:
Palestine Has the Right to Defend Itself
I read through the comments thus far… lol… man, some of the comments… no, I will not waste my time explaining and responding to idiot comments, but I thought to leave this one below for the general Unz reader/commentator anyway (comment # 101):
I doubt that I have more to say on the matter to the Unz reader. I'll stick to keeping my commentary on the current situation right here and exclusively at Plato's.
Whoop! Things are not loocking good for the supremacists.
Irish MP speaks truth to an Israeli ambassador
It is absolutely extraordinary! Are you just not taking us, Embassador, for idiots?
This afternoon, I watsapped this Lebanese retired General I know to ask him whether he thinks the region is "at the gates of the Liberation War." Even though I know several other high-rankers in the Lebanese military, I chose this retired General because any time in the past when I've asked him "when is the war coming?" he's always responded with: "There will never be a war with israel" – a statement that used to really get my goat, so much so that I started thinking he must secretly be an American asset lol! Anyway, to my today's watsapp question about the region being at the "gates of war" he responded with: "we are at the entrance."
Now THAT is what I call a paradigm shift.
More huge pro Palestine protests in Lebanon today: in Saida (south), in Beirut (central), in Tripoli (north) and in Baalbek (east). A giant banner at the Saida protest was shaped like an arrowed, green highway sign with the following written on it: 192 kilometers to Jerusalem.
Taxi, thanks for keeping our spirits up. Here is some more encouragement, from Bernhard of Moon of Alabama.
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/05/escalation-in-palestine-hizbullah-is-ready-to-join-the-fight.html#more
Thanks Sarz. I was actually just about to report on the 3 rockets that were launched from south Lebanon into northern israel that MoA makes mention of in the article. MoA doesn’t give you details on this so here it is: a Palestinian refugee living in Lebanon and famed in refugee camps for his rocket-making, of his own volition launched 3 rockets at israel at lunchtime. There was no response from Israel. The Lebanese army eventually caught up with the rocket maker and launcher dude, arrested him for two hours and then let him go. Apparently he’d done this before several times over, so he was already known to the Lebanese military and security forces. End of story.
Where b goes off completely in his assessment is when he says that Gaza didn’t have to be involved in the Sheik Jarrah and the Alqsa mosque troubles. What fucking planet is he on?!!! Gaza IS the Palestinian armed resistance headquarters – they don’t have another one. I mean, are they a resistance group in name only? Are they just spectators or are they a resistance group tasked with protecting their people, their land and their places of worship? Especially when nobody in the world is directly protecting the Palestinians from ethnic cleansing and from the judeofication of Jerusalem through ethnic cleansing. Obviously Gaza knew it can challenge the occupier’s military despite getting the hits. We observe here that in this round of combat, for every israeli strike on Gaza, a response from the Gaza resistors was pretty much immediate. This is a first for Gaza. They have more surprises than b is aware of.
Plus, I take issue with his Gaza rocket hits stats outlined in his article. I don’t have info-numbers on it except for what I’m hearing announced by Gaza’s leadership, coupled with seeing footage of destruction of jewish habitat etc aired by israeli channels. I don’t believe all of Gaza’s rockets hit the mark, but I think b gives a low estimate – very close to what the propagandist israeli military radio is giving.
Back in 2006, Hezbollah initially used all its stock of old unguided rocketry – pretty much nothing else was used for the first five days. During this time, the israelis thought they were dealing with a group who possessed low grade weapons that would be easy to overcome. When the israelis thought they could come in for the kill on the 6th day by using bigger guns, escalating thus the war, Hezbollah turned around and began escalating the grade of their weapons: bigger Hezb weapons came out on the 6th day – even bigger ones came out two days after that, and they just kept escalating their weapons grading as the war went on, constantly surprising the israeli military, who in the end started literally begging the US and Europe to negotiate a ceasefire. We know they begged for a ceasefire because ALL of Hezbollah’s conditions were met, and israel had zero say in the matter because Hezbollah allowed israel zero conditions at the negotiation table. I mention this because I see a parallel pattern of behavior in how the Gaza Resistance is conducting operations now, with how Hezbollah conducted its confrontation with israel back in 2006.
Otherwise, b from MoA gave a decent enough timeline in his article.

Just now, it's been reported that an israeli sniper at the border killed a Lebanese youth who had joined one of the pro Palestine protests at the Fatima Gate, right at the border with israel. This group of protestors had breached the israeli border by a few feet before the youth was singled out by the jewish sniper.
We now wait on Hezbollah's reaction. Will keep you posted on this story.
Egypt opened its border with Gaza to allow a group of Egyptian volunteer doctors into Gaza.
Cairo has also suggested a 24 hour ceasefire, after failing yesterday to talk Gaza into a complete halt of operations.
Fat chance the Resistors in Gaza are going to listen to Cairo.
The boom-boom beat will go on.
One reason I want to be around when yid state dies, I want
to see and hear zionized christians as they die from shock.
lol….me too
BIG TIME!
… Alrighty y'all – am tired now: been a long day and all that jazz. Off to bedzy I go.
But… one last image: right now, the Gaza night skies are full of missiles flying in, missiles flying out – like that, backwards and forwards… they look like supersonic pixies whizzing about in the dark. And… there's little me here launching guided good vibes out at Gaza (I'm only like some 260 Kilometers away so I just might get a lucky hit heh).
Oh and one last thing: the jews are spreading stories about Gaza getting ready to negotiate a ceasefire that would be moderated by Egypt. Absolute rumor. Don't believe it.
Good night from the wondrous and exotic Lebanon. A very small land mass that gave us Gibran Khalil Gibran, Hassan Nasrallah, and the ever adorable Miss Georgina Rizk (Miss Universe, 1971) :-).
*(Will the Hezb enter the fray and speed up the inevitable? A question that I shall be sleeping on).
Taxi, thought you'd appreciate this interview if you haven't seen it yet.
Hiya hillcountry. Thank you for your visit and for your link. Unfortunately, the link takes you to a 404 message (page not found). But from reading the url, I’m guessing it’s a video of As’ad AbuKhalil, otherwise known as the Angry Arab?
Yes he is As’ad AbuKhalil and the video title:
Israel knows all-out war with Hamas or Hezbollah would be a disaster.
Don't know the youtube channel or the interviewers, but I found his presentation clear and comprehensive enough to have passed it along to a wide spectrum of folks I know. His passion and conclusions resonate with much of what I've read over here. I appreciate your devotion and insights.
Here's the blurb under the title.
"It is very clear that the resistance today in Lebanon and Palestine is 100 times more effective than it was. The enemy has been humiliated on the battlefield." To engage Hamas and Hezbollah in an all out ground assault would be both disastrous and costly for Israel, and the leadership knows it.
Lebanese-American professor of political science at California State University As'ad AbuKhalil joined hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puyrear on The Freedom Side Live to discuss why, despite stepping up the slaughter of Palestinian civilians through shelling and airstrikes, Israel will not risk a whole scale invasion of Gaza or Lebanon.
I'll post the link again in quotes this time so the image doesn't come up.
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovq4rx7ZvoE"
Thank you, hillcountry. Yes, As’ad AbuKhalil is a good egg and a marvel at debates. It’s why he’s often censored. I haven’t seen any of his recent videos, but I’ve seen quite a few in the past and I am definitely a fan. Thanks for bringing him to us, if by name only. This man is full of intellectual honesty and moxie.
I <3 surprises. Especially happy ones. I've always been a steadfast supporter of fair fights. So, to see that Palestine finally has the means to hit back [still without a regular Army, Navy or Air Force, mind you], is music to both my ears and heart.
Palestine's unable to go all out to defend itself, but given what has transpired of the past few days, she isn't defenseless any longer. A suicide drone means the operator can launch another one again, and again, and again. A suicide bomber means the operative will be one, only once.
Guerilla warfare has the advantage of being fluid, as there are no set battlefields. Hit and run. Attack, destroy and disperse. These tactics keep your enemy/opponent on its toes, as 'you' might strike at any moment or not at all for weeks or months, but strike you will.
Sow fear in the hearts of cowards and they'll run faster than the wind [cue in one of Cloak and Dagger's clips above].
May peace be woven back into the fabric of the land between the rives.
Again, many, many thanks to our host, taxi. Your input is so ff-ing valuable, that I can't find the right words to express it, besides being my usual foul-mouthed self :o]
Daniel, when the subject of discourse is a vile Zionist a 'foul-mouth' is the only mouth to use.

According to an article on South Front, the man shot and killed by an Occupied Palestine sniper on the separation line, happens to be a Hezbollah fighter.
“In an official statement, Hezbollah confirmed that al-Tahan was a reserve fighter in his ranks. The group didn’t provide any further details.”
Uh-oh…

'Morning y'all. What you been up to these past eight hours? A mix of good and bad, I'm sure heh! Well you are human ain't ya?! But seriously folks, I'm starting my day with a fog in brain, sore neck and dull ache in bottom-back of my head – new pillows do that to me oooffff. Anyway, having morning coffee right now and feeling disgusted at the pogroms that jews are increasingly imposing on Palestinians in the Lod, in Hebron, in Haifa and pretty much everywhere mixed communities exist in occupied Palestine. Disgusting! Let me tell you that a couple of years ago, Netanyahu approved a policy of allowing petty-criminal Arab gangs weapons inside of their communities, with the view that they would use these weapons against each other and destabilize their communities from within. He also increased to the max, the distribution of small and medium arms to West Bank settlers with big fat fucking bellies, with the view of enabling and thus encouraging them to use them against unarmed Palestinians. I suggest that Arab gangs either openly use these Netanyahu-gifted weapons to protect their neighborhoods with, or else give them to cousins and neighbors who are prepared for martyrdom in a warfare against pogroms. Doxxing Palestinian homes: physically marking them from the outside during daytime for jewish night-gangs to recognize and assault, this and pogroming have both dramatically increased these past couple of days. Very concerning. But of course, Palestinian civilians under occupation are used to jewish violence and abuse. They can mentally handle what's going on better than you and I.
Needless to say, deadly fireworks did not slow or die down overnight. The terrorist israeli air force continued its strikes against civilian targets in Gaza, at one point striking a home that killed all 7 members sleeping inside of it. Meanwhile, Gaza's Resistance responded by heaping barrages of rockets upon the heads of illegal settlements, destroying further their illegal communities, causing many injuries and killing two settlers: a father and his daughter.
There is some development from the Hezb's corner that's related to another Lebanese youth apparently killed by israeli bullets at the border last night. But I need to first collect more info before I can supply you with an accurate picture. I will start my research into this and let you all know when I have something of value to share.
Laterz then and have yerselves a good morning, a good midday, or a good evening, all depending on what timezone you're in.
Oh and it's Nakba Day today, otherwise known as 'the day of catastrophe' for Palestinians, the very day that the terrorist jewish Haganah, Irgun and Lehi began their campaign of rape and vicious mass murder of Palestinian villagers: ethnically cleansing the natives from Historic Palestine en mass. And all this horror was committed only ONE DAY after israel was established by the League of Nations. I can't exactly say 'Happy Nakba', but I'll say to the terrorist jews: your shit-pie and pyre are almost ready.
Taxi, I just wanted to thank you. Firstly, for choosing a life that does loath evil, especially blatant disregard for human life and natural human life. I have seen no racial, nor any prejudice In your analysis and your thought processes. Secondly, is to thank you for keeping us informed with the truth as you see it in the view that you have of it. Thirdly, is the selflessness than you exhibit in doing so, earning nothing and even going forward to offer whatever help you can, even to such a simple and beautiful thing like hosting a fellow traveller who likewise hates injustice.
I really have a very soft spot for such a soul. If I ever did visit Lebanon, I sure would love to meet you. But that I am afraid is not even a pipe dream, but then who knows? Keep safe and healthy is my best wishes and love to you. May peace be upon your life and soul.
My dearest Ponder. Wow so very many kind words – I’m truly overwhelmed and hope not trip over and disappoint in the future.
Thank you, truly. And any time you find yourself in the Lebanon, please, I absolutely insist that you come over to my farmhouse for a nice long visit and chinwag :-).
Taxi, don't worry at all. Relax and just live your life as you have and you are. You will not disappoint because it is who you are and have been. A Lion is a Lion because it is a Lion. It doesn't have to try being a Lion. Likewise, you are just being you. It's not an examination nor a test nor a standard you have to meet, you continue being you. Many well wishes my fellow traveller. As also to the many others that come to this site whom I dare not list for fear of leaving someone out. Peace to all you peace loving souls.
Natural human rights, is what I meant.
Okay, so I now have some info on the Hezb's thinking regarding the two Lebanese casualties who were snipped dead at the Leb border yesterday. Nasser Kandil, a well-seasoned analyst and Hezb insider (I've mentioned him here on Plato's several times before), well, he is saying that a Hezb retaliation for the two Leb martyrs killed by israel yesterdy is coming. Kandil is saying that the Hezb will wait several days before they respond to the murders. He said that a decision has been taken to leave it a few days so as to keep the headlines focused on Palestine and the Palestinian struggle that's currently catching like fire on social media. He says that Nasrallah himself took this decision of coiling back for a few days before springing into action, so as to keep the current combat focused "exclusively" on what is going on INSIDE of Palestine. To Hezb strategist, the current exclusive focus on Palestine alone is proving to be beneficial for the Palestine cause as it gathers more momentum of support from the world. They would like to utilize this exclusivity further.
In other words, Nasrallah does not want to steal the thunder from the Palestinian Resistance right now. We all know that as soon as the Hezb enters the fray, the first page headlines will immediately switch to that and the Palestinian cause would take second page.
But a Hezb response is coming.
How israel deals with Hezbollah's response is what will determine whether the the gates of war open wide or not.
Meanwhile, apparently three rockets launched out of Syria were fired at israel's Golan last night. The Jewish media is mentioning this incident very briefly in short paragraphs, excluding the mention of where the rockets fell. This tells us that the location MUST BE the Golan. So far, the jewish press has been giving info on locations of hits on them, including the attacks on the Dimona – well, they couldn't exactly deny it with so much video evidence available. So then why hold back on the Syrian rockets landing location? My theory: no footage of the rocket landings are available to the public/social media so it's easy to hide the facts. And secondly, the jewish military does not want to add fear to its already petrified citizens by announcing that now they’re being attacked by Gaza AS WELL AS by their enemies in Syria; and that an intention by Syria to retake the Golan is also on the cards – that the Syrians may very well use the opportunity of the current combat with Gaza to liberate their land in the Golan: land that overlooks the whole of israel proper, heights that would be utilized to easily attack israel from.
We should all be aware that much discussion and analysis and decision-making is currently taking place among the leaderships of the members of the Axis of Resistance. Tactics and strategies are being studied and prepared. We therefore now wait for them to choose the timing of their war plans.
Like the last phrase from Nasrallah's last speech said: "Just be patient".
Right now, I have to go out and buy food supplies for humans and pets, plus top up my war-emergency kit, just in case…
I'll be back on the boards in a couple of hours of so.
It's an absolutely beautiful morning here in the south Lebanon: little paradise with floral air and bird song everywhere your ear reaches. A total contrast to what is presently taking place in the holy land.
I invite all birds traumatized and fleeing the holy land to come over to south Lebanon for rest and safety.
Hezbollah still owes a long overdue retaliation from many months ago don't they? Can't remember for what (too many crimes blur the memory) but they did say it will be at a time and a place of our choosing.
A triple whammy!
Ooooh the Hezb’s list of paybacks is long and sweet.
So, numerous excursions: caravans of coaches etc, all full of Lebanese supporters of the Palestine are organizing protest trips to the border with israel this afternoon. Some supporters are coming all the way from Tripoli in the furthest north and the northern Bekaa region, literally the other side of the country of Lebanon.
This will most certainly rattle up the nerves of jewish patrol fuckers – let's hope they miscalculate and cameras catch this miscalculation.
In line with what Taxi already argued in the current post:
If freedom, justice and equality for Palestinians seem unachievable through non-violent means, then what next? They can’t rely on their Arab brethren for support. Refugees can’t return. They can’t demonstrate peacefully and achieve their rights. They can’t seek redress through international law, possibly because Palestine is not considered a state.
But if they fire a rocket, they are “terrorists” and Israel is “entitled to self-defence”, as the new US administration has stated.
So, what are Palestinians supposed to do in pursuit of justice and freedom? This starts with unity – and I am not talking about Fatah and Hamas, but Palestinians in Haifa, Jerusalem, Ramallah, Gaza, Beirut, Damascus, Chile and Australia. We are one people with a right to self-determination in our homeland.
Kamel Hawwash
Thank you, dear Antonio. This gives me the opportunity to talk a little about Palestinian unity.
Literally, all Palestinians interviewed for TV on the streets on Gaza, Jerusalem etc, these past few days, all of them pretty much said the same thing, and said it with joy and a generous sprinkle of passion. They said sentences like: 'For the first time, we are all united. All of us are united. We all feel it, and no one can divide us again.' This was the standard response.
In the past when Palestine was under attack and Palestinians were being interviewed, they usually lamented with sadness that their people must become united in order to better defend themselves and their communities. Well, it looks like they've finally transcended and are now talking as a united people, not as a people yearning for unity.
Here's the reason for this paradigm shift in the collective Palestinian psyche:
For the first time ever, what is known as the Palestinian 48ers: Palestinians with israeli citizenship living in a the 48-Triangle, which is a Palestinian area that's triangular in shape and squeezed on all sides by a permanently encroaching jewish menace – for the first time ever, these 48-ers have taken to the streets en mass, with their veins full of fire and unapologetic fury. This was a first. And this was the missing link – the missing note from the vox. This was the missing voice that's been silenced since 1948; silenced because of the valid fear that they're packed into a limited area that's isolated from Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem: out of reach of friend and kinfolk, and geographically surrounded and cornered – that they are extremely vulnerable to sudden mass slaughter, as well as wide open for swift ethnic cleansing by the Apartheid justice system of israel. On the scale of resistance, they were the meekest – and nobody blamed them. Everyone understood their terrible and impossible position.
And here we are now with finally the meekest of Palestinian voices shouting out loud to the world: ‘I want my land and I want my freedom now!’ The 48-ers’ revolt has been under-reported, even by me. But kudos, absolute beautiful kudos to them for braving it and rolling their sleeves when it really counted.
Palestinians have never been more united. The refugees still living in camps dotted all over the Levant. The Palestinian diaspora scattered all over the world. The Palestinians of Jordan. The Palestinians of Gaza, the West Banks, Jerusalem AND the 48ers: all united. All of them united, without exception.
The mass damage to Gaza continues, with casualties as of now at 132 dead, 327 critically injured, and some 1,068 milder injuries – all casualties are civilians. Out of the 132 dead, some 37 are children victims. And if memory serves, 9 Resistance fighters have died so far. R.I.P. to all.
The Gaza Resistance continues with its rocket counter attacks at the terrorist state, targeting especially illegal jewish settlements. A Gaza barrage of rockets today struck 5 residential buildings in tel aviv too – the terrorist jewish government has not yet released the casualty figures etc on this big tel aviv hit. Abu Abeeda, spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigade said that they have enough rocket inventory to last them 6 months.
Gaza rockets also targeted several illegal settlements in the West bank. And there, also, Palestinian protests continue, despite brutal repression by jewish security cunts and settler cuntmob violence.
Jewish casualties that are not caught on film are not being publicly counted. (They just can't help but fiddle with numbers, them jews).
Meanwhile, right across the world, pro Palestine marches are taking place – even bigger ones than yesterday's. Despite Macron banning pro-Palestine marches in Paris, supporters of the Palestine cause defied his jewy ban and took to the streets today anyway. All Western leaderships, after remaining silent for the first couple of days of this round of combat, have all by today pulled their cards away from their chests and stated: 'israel has the right to defend itself'. 'Defend itself from the people it brutally occupies?! Fuck off'! So say the people of the world in response. EVERYONE is sick of this gruesome, genocidal phrase that gives a green light to israel to carry on with its despicable war crimes.
The most loaded protests today will be the ones taking place at various points of the Lebanon-israel border. They’re kinda starting now. I’ll keep you posted if anything dramatic there happens.
Tens of thousands of pro-Palestine, Lebanese protestors gathered right at the border in the south, making for a show of colorful force and commitment to the liberation cause. First, the wire fencing was broken and Lebanese protestors rushes at the Apartheid wall that stands a few feet away from the breached fence. The jew wall was then climbed by protestors and Palestinian and Hezb flags were placed atop the wall. Also, some kind of crane was dragged to the wall by protestors, and its cabin with a couple of men in it was elevated a few feet above the wall, allowing the men in the crane’s cabin a clear view of what’s beyond it: occupied Palestine.
Israel reported on this in real time, saying that the border security have fired warning shots in the air to warn protestors not to breech the wall, and that the protestors have complied. Well, no such warning actually occurred. Not a single israeli soldier is in sight, let alone one firing warning shots in the air. It's a ghost town on the israel side of the wall, and it's a full on party on Lebanon’s side of the wall. No doubt the jews are vigilantly watching the protestors from a hidden nearby, and no doubt that Hezbollah is vigilantly watching the watching jews. I therefore very much doubt that any miscalculations will be made tonight by the jews here at the Lebanese border.
Interestingly, another 3 rockets were again fired this afternoon at israel. And again, there are only reports of these rockets, but not the location of their landing. Syria is shtump about it, and so is israel.
Tel aviv sure has its hands busy-busy, and not in a good way. Internally, the lefty jews are still at the throat of the righty jews, blaming all jewish deaths caused by Gaza rockets on Netanyahu, and accusing Netanyahu of throwing the jewish nation into a state of anarchy and death. But Netanyahu doesn't give a shit about what the jew lefties think or say. He has managed to drag their leftie leader, Benny Gantz, who carries the double office of Alternate Prime Minister, as well as Defense Minister, into the filth of the Gaza war, rendering Gantz's hands soaked in jewish blood too. Vipers attempting to swallow each other's tail: that's the current israeli political war taking place, as protests and rockets and war crimes rock the holy land.
Violence by the jewish security apparatus against unarmed Palestinian citizens in israel continues, and zombie settler gangs pogromming the Palestinians also continues. As the sun is setting, I'm watching on TV a very large dark plume of smoke that has been suspended over a breezeless Gaza now for a good hour or so, caused by jewish strikes on a tall residential building next to a gas station.
And the Al-Qassam leader just gave a message telling the israelis that their government is lying to them; that Palestinians will never surrender their freedom and land; and that the jewish politicians are deceiving the jewish people, giving them false hope, causing their death while they themselves lounge in the safety of luxury shelters. He urged jewish citizens to leave Historic Palestine as soon as they can for their own safety. "We will not stop fighting till we are free," he stressed, "you have two choices, either you leave, or you will be buried here in this war. We will not stop this war till we are free and justice has been served to us."
I'm hearing echoes of the Algerian Resistance's ultimatum to the French colonialist in Qassam message. After enduring 100 years of a brutal French Apartheid, the Algerian resistance had galvanized and acquired deadly weapons and announced their ultimatum: 'the suitcase or the coffin' was what was on offer for the French. Of course, the snooty, racist French colonials living in Algiers poopooed it, ignored it, but a short time after the ultimatum was given and acted upon by the Resistance, droves of French colonials left Algiers, after a chunk of them were killed and buried in the sands of Algiers.

Professor Finkelstein….. Israel is not only committing war crimes, it is committing crimes against humanity which are the most odious of crimes under International law. The Israelis have no rights whatsoever in East Jerusalem, they have no rights whatsoever in Gaza, they have no right to self defence, let me emphasize it, they have no right to self defence, they only have one right, they have the right to leave, to pack up their bags and leave.

Finkelstein is not really on our side. The Palestine he refers to is a tiny rump of historic Palestine. It’s like him pushing the story of the Holocaust while lamenting that it is a focus of greed.
The Yid among us:
From a diseased belief system, diseased minds with lies for brain cells.
The disease passed from generation to generation.
Right now, 9pm Levant time, a MASSIVE Palestinian silent protest is taking place in Bethlehem, to mark the night of the Nekba that saw all these people's family or friends either killed, raped, or ethnically cleansed. The somber protestors had managed to block a couple of streets, so as to maintain their safe space away from gathering jewish zombie settlers, alarming in return the jewish security fucks, who then started throwing tear gas and stun bombs into the Palestinian crowd. Half of the crowd instantly knelt in pain and attempted to give comfort to their burning eyes, while the other half pushed back at the jewish terrorist police. Bottles of water started to be passed around, and although the tear-gassing had unfocused and disorganized the formation of the protest, yet a protest it remained, and now, currently, there is a standoff between the praying angels and the devil's spawn.
There's been non-stop protest activity, day and night for six days now; and there's been simultaneous non-stop rocketry and destruction, day and night…
Tomorrow?
The 7th day.
Ooooffff. Sigh…
… G'nite from the quieter side of the Levant.
What do jews love the most? Money and security.
What does israel have today? A sinking economy and a stinking security.
Surely some israeli jews are now whiffing a hint State failure? Cuz around here, it sure pongs of it.
Taxi, and that is the key point, I call it "crystal roofing", the apartheid people in occupied Palestine are indeed in its most fragile moment….they. built a society that took in consideration utter protection (supposedly own and from the US/UK/France) that could flourish Hight Tech, Chemical, Ag industries, all built on the concept of 100% safe.
After the Arab Spring sent hundreds of thousands of terrorists to destroy Libya, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen, the apartheid regime felt "safe" to expand its tentacles in global trade, but they did not expect. the outcome in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen, these are far from failed state, the Central Governments may be weakened, but it emerged millions of highly trained Soldiers/Militias, on top of that the military industry in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen flourished, producing high tech drones, missiles and other weapons, no surprise Hamas/Islamic Jihad are so well equipped with many missiles from Syria and Iran, and most importantly, they know how to make it.
The situation should be faced as terminal for the settlers, their live won't go back to the "comfort" slaughtering and humiliation of the Palestinians, there is no doubt in my mind The Resistance is waiting the right moment to escalate this war further, this is the window of opportunity long due, in the next week or so we should see further escalation and hopefully West Bank Palestinians would join the fray in a pincer move of pressure and rebellion, time will tell, but the moment is ripe.
By the way, the apartheid regime will lose billions of USD in. this war…dozens of billions, money was never a problem since the Americans gladly donate them free of charge to the apartheid regime….but this time…the US is weaker, highly in debt, jobs are not coming, bubble is huge and too stretch…surely they can send USD 10-20Bi to Israel, but this hand won't help on loss of tourism, weaker currency, loss of trade and loss of trust….should this war continue to 2-3 weeks, expect huge and long term implication to them…unemployment will soar and businesses will close down…this all on top of 1 year of lockdown and higher debts.
The end is near.
Well said, Canthama. This is the moment of opportunity the Palestinian Resistance has been waiting for. I'm sure they realize it. They have never been more prepared. Perhaps this is the first time they are really prepared. Hezbollah is no doubt also sensing this is the moment. The signal, I believe, will be when Hezbollah enters the war. True, as Taxi has reminded us, quoting Nasrallah, the Palestine resistance can defeat the apartheid state on its own. But the definitive smashing will come from Hezbollah. And pity the settler state if Syria joins the fray. The racist pseudo-state has earned its fate. Call it karma or divine justice or what you will, it feels the time is at hand for the final war. We will know soon if this escalates or if the baby killers decide to retreat. Whatever their choice, their doom is prepared and it is coming. I echo your words, the end is near.
Greetings Taxi,
"Let us consider the actual, worldly Jew – not the Sabbath Jew, as Bauer does, but the everyday Jew.
Let us not look for the secret of the Jew in his religion, but let us look for the secret of his religion in the real Jew.
What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.
Very well then! Emancipation from huckstering and money, consequently from practical, real Judaism, would be the self-emancipation of our time."
Marx, On The Jewish Question
He writes in the same essay that modern European Christians, in particular American Christians, have become indistinguishable from Jews because they now perform the same material functions under capitalism that were previously reserved only for Jews by the Christian state in feudalism:
"North America is pre-eminently the country of religiosity, as Beaumont, Tocqueville, and the Englishman Hamilton unanimously assure us… Indeed, in North America, the practical domination of Judaism over the Christian world has achieved as its unambiguous and normal expression that the preaching of the Gospel itself and the Christian ministry have become articles of trade, and the bankrupt trader deals in the Gospel just as the Gospel preacher who has become rich goes in for business deals."

This is a good place to follow Gaza updates when they happen. It is a group of Palestinian women.

Would all of you Empire hugging Americans suddenly turn coat and support the native American insurrectionists?
I doubt it and that’s why every word that you throw out casting aspersions against the Israelis will only bring God’s judgment crashing down on your heads.
The Palestinians were basically land tenants working for rich Arab absentee landlords in Damascus Beirut Istanbul and elsewhere. Zionists bought huge tracts of land from these Arab land holders and in the ensuing War of Independence dispossessed many of the Palestinian peasants. Americans shouldn’t shed too many crocodile tears since at least the Zionists paid for their initial land purchases, unlike the European colonists who came to North America and stole all the Indian lands they could get their hands on as well as repeatedly violating sacred treaties.
What you all hate about the Israelis is that they act with the same self-interest that Europeans have acted in for 2000 years. You can’t bear Jews behaving in the same egotistical selfish and self-seeking manner as the rest of you. And the more hatred you direct towards them the more God will bring you under his judgment.

So much whataboutery in both your comments. I usually delete such utter trash brainwash, but I’m leaving you in as an example of what pathetic, jewish supremacy and prejudice looks like. I have no doubt you already know this, but I’ll remind readers here that talmudic evil is unique, and no example from the pages of religious history compares.
Just leave Palestine. The Land is not yours. And it will never be yours.
We can agree about ownership of the land. It belongs to God. Certainly God does not want Muslims, who have distorted and changed the biblical text and lie about the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ and Christian history, to live in his Holy abode. Yes God has his account to settle with the Jews, but at least they admit that they had Jesus crucified — something that Islam denies.
Don’t you realize that the world’s vast majority does not believe that god is jewish and only jewish? You are a minority and will always be a minority in this belief.
Of course, you are entitled to your beliefs, as evil as they may be, but when you attempt to impose these beliefs on others through deception or through force of arms, you will be hated for it, rejected and ostracized. You will be resisted till death.
Hello Taxi. It's been a while since I wrote here 1-2 years ago. Please delete this *thing* above. It's a typical zionist-cunt trying to 'steal-the-show'. These pigs will steal anything & everything and then say they always owned it. The kleptocratic zionists are mentally ill. One can never reason with such people.
Please Delete the cunt's comments. btw. You will find me @UNZ.
Heyheyhey Veritas-X! How lovely to have you visit on a such a beautiful Sunday (spring-beautiful here in the Levant). Hope you've been keeping well.
I know exactly what you mean about the cuntery and kleptomania. I am not allowing the "thing" any further comments, don't you worry. But if I delete the "thing" as you requested, then I will have to also delete your perfect response to it: they're interconnected. So, if you don't mind your comment being deleted with the "thing", then I'll gladly do it. Give me a sign and I'll promptly chop-suey the "thing" in the thorax.
Hi Brother. You & I are thinking exactly the same way. :))) Of course the ‘cunt’s comment’ has gotta be left where it is. But, bein’ an old bastard from N.J. and growin’ up with these arrogant & obnoxious types well…you know.
Anyway, Take Care of Yourself. You and the Good People of the Levant are in my Thoughts & Prayers. Amen
You are right to not fret over midrashic sleights of hand Taxi. Let it stand. Judaism is a religion of lawfare, and it only condemns itself for being so. It is not who built the house or labored in it's fields and for how many years that determines a houses ownership, but rather a court and a piece of paper, and their documents leave no room for interpretation: "Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain."
Some people strive to conform themselves to the facts of the world, and thus find nature to be generous and inviting, others strive to produce a theory of the world that conforms itself to their preexisting beliefs, and thus find nature to be hostile and capricious.
He speaks within his chosen theory. An argument is illegitimate if it does not begin, ipso facto, by acknowledging and accepting the imperatives of his religious identity. And likewise, it does not matter what an argument consists of if it begins with those imperatives, it must be true.
"In the Greek republics the source of these laws lay in the fact that, owing to the inequality which would otherwise have arisen, the freedom of the impoverished might have been jeopardized and they might have fallen into political annihilation; among the Jews, in the fact that they had no freedom and no rights, since they held their possessions only on loan and not as property,* since as citizens they were all nothing. The Greeks were to be equal because all were free, self-subsistent; the Jews equal because all were capable of self-subsistence. Hence ever Jew belonged to a family because he had a share in its soil, and this soil it could not even call its own; it was only conceded to it by grace. Every Jew’s inability to multiply his estates was admittedly only an ideal of the legislator’s, and his people does not seem to have adhered to it strictly. If the reason for it in the legislator’s soul had been the hindering of the inequality of wealth, quite different arrangements would have been chocked, and the great end of his legislation would inevitably have had to be the citizens’ freedom, a constitutional ideal to which no strain in the spirit of Moses and his nation corresponded." – Hegel, "the spirit of Judaism" from The Spirit of Christianity and it's Fate
MEVASHIR, I quote from your scriptures:
This parable was glossed by another child of the land with a more eloquent tongue "Ye shall no them by their fruits."
Behold the fruits of the Zionist entity:
http://falahelfarah.blogspot.com/2017/12/love-of-land.html
"When the Zionist looks at the Holy Land, they witness nothing other than the emptiness of their own ambitions. To them the Holy Land is a projection, and so they cannot encounter her life-giving beauty. Everywhere they look they see a mirage. Failing to recognize themselves in her features, they madly set about to manufacture a connection, a bond, a relationship with the land… And how can a person claim to love this land, when for them it is nothing more an object to be possessed, and a spirit to be conquered. Nature may bend to their urges, but it will never reward them for such carelessness. Work as they may, they will never be Palestinian. The harder they labor, the farther away from reality they will become."
There is and never will be an excuse for the Talmud.
ty, taxi, i was about to launch into a reply…bt yours & daniel are so much more eloquent. thank you, we need to read this, as much as i would like it gone…this is indeed the face of the settler throwing molotovs in the night.
Taxi,
The big events of the past week or so have made the germ of an idea that had been growing in my head really solidify and become a crystal clear realization. Your blog is THE go-to site for English language resistance news on the situation in Occupied Palestine and South Lebanon. I say that because as an independent operator, you are able to keep distance from money interest, which always means "Jews" and their insidious manipulation and control of information and news in the modern world.
Although my comments are infrequent, I often visit Plato's Guns, open the most recent article, and scroll way down for the most recent comments, where I find updates on the situation on the ground, interesting videos related to the conflict and the Resistance, and some illuminating analysis, from both you and other visitors to Plato's.
I thought it would be appropriate to take this opportunity to show my gratitude for what you're doing. I thank you.
Still looking forward to visiting you in South Lebanon, but with local spread of covid just starting to hit us in previously safe Taiwan, we may not be going anywhere for some time.
Lots of love, strength and sumud to all Palestinians, everywhere,
Frankie P
Dear FrankieP, my heartfelt greetings to you and your family in beautiful Taiwan. Your invite to Lebanon is permanent – you never know where tomorrow’s winds may blow.
Thank you for your touching support; thank you for your praise and for your vote of confidence. Wow. I am speechless. Having spent some 16 years working in Hollywood where nothing is real or truthful, I consider it a luxury to now sit in the south of Lebanon writing on behalf of a real and worthy cause. You simply cannot buy vocation. The truth can so easily be tainted by commerce. The contrast between Hollywood and south Lebanon has taught me everything about dignity and integrity. Attributes that truly enrich and raise the quality of one’s life.
FrankieP, I’m feeling the love and I’m sending it right back at you.
Gilad Atzmon has written an explanation of the Jewish mindset (of which that MEVASHIR character is a good example). I reckon all who are here already know what it is, however it is interesting to read considering he was born an “Israeli” and a “jew” (whatever that is).
Know your enemy.
https://gilad.online/writings/2021/5/15/the-yom-kippur-syndrome-revisited
Thank you for the link, dear GRR. What a great article by Gilad.
We actually corresponded this week via email. I suggested that because of the paradigm shift that had occurred with Gaza standing up for ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem, thus palpably uniting the Palestinians, and also because he is an expert on Aliya and reverse-Aliya, an article by him on this subject would be very interesting and timely. He was reluctant to do this and said: 'it's a boring topic for me. I've already written about it my Wandering Who book." He added: "I don't have anything more writing in me. I feel that I've already said it all and I don't want to repeat myself." I wrote back and said: "I understand, but disagree."
So nice therefore to see that Gilad got his mojo back with this fine article.
Well, it's the 7th day of combat between the synagogue of satan and the brave people of Palestine, and the same boom-boom-bang-bang ping-pong is still going on. Last night and all this morning, the jews unleashed hell on Gaza, striking again at civilian structures, while the Gaza Resistance responded with rockets on illegal jewish testaments and on israeli cities. Material destruction and human casualties on both sides have risen, especially in Gaza where the occultist, criminal jews intentionally mass-murdered a second family wholesale, all ten of them, inside of a week. R.I.P. But this does not mean that Gaza is anywhere near stopping with its rockets on the terrorist state of israel. The pressure is on Netanyahu, and in turn, he is putting pressure on the US to get more involved in stopping the Gaza rocketry, and on Egypt too to browbeat Gaza and bring it to the negotiating table. Even though both the American and the Egyptian governments are allies of israel, so far they have not been able to comply and give israel what it wants: mass murder without the rocketry response.
Gaza rejects any compromise on the Al-Aqsa and on the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Jerusalem. Two extremely emotive issues for the jews too: they say the Al-Aqsa sits on the remains of the jewish Second Temple, and the judeofication and total control of Jerusalem is commanded by their talmud.
The situation is intractable…
Till israel miscalculates and promts other members of the Axis of Resistance to enter the fray.
Meanwhile, the shekel keeps going down and down, and consumption of Xanix by jews keeps going up and up.
"Just be patient", like Nasrallah said.
I'll keep ya'll posted further when I garner or glean interesting or consequential info.
Hope you all have a good Sunday.
Excellent article and subsequent commentary Taxi.
As with the heroic houthis tide-turning success in targeting KSA high profile economic infrastructure, the Palestinians are already inflicting devastating blows on the zionist economy.
Kia kaha Palestine.
TEP
https://thesaker.is/israel-suffering-huge-economic-losses-from-ongoing-conflict-report/
Thanks, TEP. We all know that the god of the jews is the shekel. For some, it’s even more important than the talmud, torah, zohar etc. What feeds the shekel is jewish kleptomania ops, and what supports their global crimes is the shekel. In other words, they steal and use the loot to pay for their crimes of corruption, and crimes against humanity. Of course, it’s smart and strategic for Gaza to target economic compounds and bases, but I think what will really kick the shekel in the balls is to target the israeli IT district, both the commercial and the intel branches. The intel branch especially should be punished for illegally stealing and storing information on, well, everything and everybody the world over.
A Freudian slip Taxi? "illegal jewish testaments" LOL
Heh heh – am leaving it in – it’s genius heh!
Hey Taxi and all,
Certainly the ongoing events in Palestine mark a critical step towards the liberation of Palestine from Zionist colonisation, like other steps before such as the 2000 liberation of South Lebanon, 2006 Hezbollah victory, 2015 decisive Russian intervention in Syria (and subsequent liberation of most Syrian territory), 2020 bombing of Al-Asad US base, and ongoing Houthis victory vs. Saudis.
However, I do not share your optimism about a quick demise of the Zionist entity. In my opinion, what we are witnessing is just another small step towards that end goal, allowing the Palestinian resistance to establish some form of deterrence towards the zionists, in a similar vein to what Hezbollah achieved in Lebanon (and to a smaller extent, Syria).
I don’t foresee the Axis of Resistance launching an all-out war aiming at full liberation of Palestine before at least a few years, for many reasons, whom I think we are all well aware of:
– Syria should be a decisive part in such a battle, for that she needs to finish the remnants of Daesh, regain control over her north-east and more generally regroup and refresh her army
– Hezbollah is also not in an ideal position to make such a move, considering the current situation in Lebanon
– it is hard to imagine Iran getting involved without a good reason to do so, such as Israeli/US bombing of its nuclear facilities
-Irak also needs to get rid of US occupation before the likes of PMUs can freely join the all-in fight against the Zionists
– The US are in full-speed decline on all fronts, but they are not quite there yet. Give it a year or two, they will have faced a full-blown economic crisis that will dramatically reduce their ability to weight on the Middle-east theater
– Russia and Chine are getting stronger every month, new decisive weapons will be rolled out within a year or two
For all these reasons, I think current events are not « the beginning of the final battle », but just an important milestone to prove the ability of the Palestinian resistance to enforce red lines. In my opinion the final battle will not take place before another 3 to 5 years.
I’d be very happy to be Oui proven wrong though!
Best, Marc
So Marc,
What if Syria were to launch an attack of Iranian built cruise missles / drones that took out a significant number of Iron Dome missile launchers. Especially those closer to Gaza. Would that change your assessment?
https://youtu.be/tbhgS1tXNaI
Very good analysis by Kevork Almassian, in my opinion.
russia has offered to negotiate in moscow. lavrov is a master & it will take one with skills such as his to begin to broker a way through this, for as taxi has explained the problems are deep & intractable. although i appreciate marc's points as both valid & true, time on occasion intervenes regardless. this i fear this may be such a time. gaza has been patient, nazrallah is correct, the situation calls for patience but the fuse has been lit & wending its way toward the bomb. lavrov may be the only one able to quell the fast snaking flame. israel wants a pause, an opportunity to re-group & begin again, nothing like a real deal, but those living in gaza know the israelis' tricks & that the time is now, it's not now or never but rather now & now & now until it's over.
I agree with MARC and think it is too early to predict the end of Israel, I was surprised at how readily Hamas was to launch those rockets after being provoked by the IDF in the AL Aqsa Mosque and with the ethnic cleansing in East Jerusalem. During the 2014 massacre ‘Protective Edge’ the Israelis destroyed 20,000 Palestinian houses and other buildings at a cost of $8 billion and well over 2 thousand dead whereas the Hamas rockets [with no guidance and very rudimentary design] cost the Israelis 1 building [and only 68 dead [64 soldiers]. The earlier operation ‘Cast Lead’ cost 1398 Palestinian lives with just 1 life on the Israeli side. Now with the Iranian precision missile production ramping up and the ease with which Iran’s allies in the ‘arc of resistance’ can retro fit their existing stockpiles with a suitcase sized section incorporated in the missile with the ability to guide those missiles precisely onto target [see Al Asad air base last year] which means very shortly Israel will be surrounded on all sides by the ‘ark’ of liberation.
https://www.bicom.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Precision-Project-Paper-Oct-2019.pdf
In my opinion these conventional missiles are the real reason Trump, at the behest of Netanyahu cancelled the JCPOA, the Iranians have no intention to stop production of these missiles [after all every state has a right to defend themselves, right] and no intention not to supply their allies with same. In my opinion the legal proliferation of these game changing weapons is the reason Israel is spooked, and quite rightly spooked, after all the Metropolitan area of Tel Aviv is approx 52 sq kilometres, which means Hezbollah’s 100,000 Missiles alone [low estimate] could decimate Tel Aviv, home to most of the Israeli population and Industry with 37 missies hitting per sq Kilometre, Its oil and gas platforms would be gone care of the C802 cruise missiles which took out the Israel Frigate Hanit in the 2006 conflict. It would be all over folks that is why the West is panicking.
I have only one correction to your post Harry; Hezbollah has multiples of 100,000 missiles.At least 300,000 and more.
Cheers.
Just a side note to my comment above, the cost to add the package to the Hezbollah missiles is between 5 and 10,000 dollars. Whereas the Israeli F35 Flying couches are between $1,000000 and $107,000000 per unit, with a flying cost of $35,000 per hour. Hundreds of cheap Missiles targeting Israeli military air bases [think Al Assad air base in Iraq] would ensure non of these lemons could take off, if they managed to they would have nowhere to land. Also the Houthis with the same missiles will teach the Saudis why the proverb said ‘People in glass houses should not throw stones’.
Phase 2 is about to be in play:
https://southfront.org/in-video-al-quds-brigades-unveiled-new-ultra-heavy-improvised-rocket/
Progress. Beautiful escalation.
And there’s more and bigger to come.
harry law, as always your insights are as succinct & precise as an iranian missile, thank you. i did not mean to infer this chapter was the end of israel, merely the battle will not end, the novel not yet complete, there will be no slinking back to lick wounds & hang little head & pray for israel to repent. the resistance, as time, is different now, china & russia & iran are different now, much stronger in purpose, unity & weapons…& to that on the other end of the totter israel, the uk & us very different, almost shadows now, slowly but surely intimately acquainted now with gravity & its irreversible gifts. those ascending know they hold good ground, it's only those on the descent that circle denial, unable to see the quagmire they created for what it is. as putin has stated the us is like a cornered drunk, so too israel, therefore both are exceedingly dangerous. that i believe is why putin yesterday said the situation in palestine is so very dangerous to russian security. neither israel nor america will go quietly into that dark night, but go they shall. the axis of resistance will win, not today but inevitably…& we all pray it won't cost the world. thank you, hl, again for your thoughtful remarks & wisdom, it is such light that leads us through the night. blessings.
Hey y'all. My internet went down for a bit – now it's back on but it's late here and my brain marbles are on the mushy side – too tired.
Thanks for you comments MARC and FrankieP, Harry Law, emersonreturn etc. I would very much like to respond, but not now: tomorrow with fresh brains would be best.
I'll briefly say this, though, to MARC's excellent comment. Clearly the israel-Palestine dynamic has completely changed. We now have a new dynamic and this new dynamic is still forming its shape (it's only 7 days old, after all), which is why it's hard to commit to a time frame of when the War of Liberation could break out. We do not yet have full knowledge of what this new dynamic is in order to make an informed assessment. I'm personally gauging that it's in its etheric stage, unformed, partially material, partially not: hard to see clearly, hard to grasp and dissect intellectually because it's still shifting and thickening only in patches here and there: in the process forming itself. And its shape is being directly influenced by what is occurring hour to hour in the holy land. Things are still in shift mode and reformation. We're all kinda holding our breaths in waiting for the reveal of this new dynamic. What will the Resistance's strategy be: let israel disintegrate further, much further, making thus for an easier kill and for less casualties on the Resistance's side? Or, strike now while the iron is hot and the jew beast is presently stunned-dizzy and strike from multi-fronts and to hell with the big-earthquake-shock of it all to the region and to the world? A world that's currently not exactly stable or secure.
[This war will happen by will of nature, or by will of man? And which one produces the better result for peace? (Pardon my philoso-political questions here)].
The new dynamic is currently amorphous, with us guessing and second-guessing the calendar of war. But I'm sure soon enough, it will have undeniable face and body, with its own pulse and new rules.
I keep thinking how weird that in this israel-Palestine instance, we know that war is a certainty, we even know the outcome, but we don't know the date.
Very dramatic human theater.
Re your two offered options Taxi I'm hoping for option 2 as I believe that the destruction of the settler scum will make many problems in the world ease. And of course the Palestinians get their homes back.
"What will the Resistance's strategy be:
let israel disintegrate further, much further, making thus for an easier kill and for less casualties on the Resistance's side?
Or, strike now while the iron is hot and the jew beast is presently stunned-dizzy and strike from multi-fronts and to hell with the big-earthquake-shock of it all to the region and to the world? "
This war will happen by will of nature, or by will of man? And which one produces the better result for peace? (Pardon my philoso-political questions here)
On the contrary, dear Taxi. We are counting on your philoso-political capabilities, together with your priviledged residence in the current geopolitical fight and your fluency in Arab language.
For an observer, specially for a distant one, philosophical grounds are required in this moment, more than anything else, so as to distinguish between what belongs to the facts and their interrelations (the ontology), in one hand, from what belongs to someone's knowledge of the facts (the epistemology), on the other hand. So far away from the present reality seems to be the zionist's broad world views (check MEVASHIR herein), that in some moment they will have to accept 'our planet has turned over two thousand times already'.
No valid point to blame the nature for the war.

Iran accuses Israel of genocide and crimes against humanity May 16, 2021
Four days ago, Putin, at a Russian Security Council meeting said:
"… the immediate vicinity of our borders…” This means that Russia is very much involved in the current israel-Palestine combat. Quiet, for now. But it is indeed very much and very deeply involved – watching developments extremely closely and will make noise and moves if need be.
The great Anis Naquash (R.I.P.) said last year that Russia wouldn't stop Syria going to war with Israel to liberate its land from the israelis. Anis said that this is because Russia has a serious demographic problem: it needs to boost the number of its population count, and having a war in the holy land that would send 1.4 million israeli-Russian jews back to Russia would have substantial impact and would be of great benefit to Russia.
Anis also added that in discussions between China and Russia over the viability of Silk Road II running through the Levant, the two nations came to an understanding that the most unstable and adventurous player who is likely to go rogue in that region would be israel. This tells us that as far as the China and Russia 'Empires' are concerned, and they are thinking and strategizing as Empires when it comes to the Silk Road II project, israel is a disposable entity. (Who needs the fucking headache of an entitled and terroristic port owner, right?!). China and Russia may not be interested in going to direct war against israel, but should israel disappear right off the face of the earth tomorrow, the China and Russia Empires would not exactly cry, beat their chests and wail out their bereavement over it.
Putin says Israel-Palestine escalation poses threat to Russia’s security
I should also add that what Putin said at the meeting also indicates that America now holds the Levant with a single hand, not with both.
Why on earth would Russia want back Russian Jews from Israel? Really? I would think Russia like the US would be far better off if their dual-citizen Israelis met their end in Israel and thus spared the world their regrouping and continued poison.
“Why on earth would Russia want back Russian Jews from Israel?”
Because they’re Russian.
I know they’re trouble, but they should be trouble in their own countries and not in foreign ones. They should live in their own homeland under rules and laws NOT made by jews, as indeed they’ve historically done so before the establishment of israel. This is one way of ‘containing’ them. Interestingly, when jews live under Gentile laws, a chunk of them soon enough ease up and start assimilating, as indeed had happened in Germany and across Europe too before WW2. Before WW2, you couldn’t pay european jews enough to go to Palestine: they were pretty assimilated and becoming prosperous in their own homeland. For decades they had ignored the insistant zionist call for immigration and it was only AFTER the so-called holocaust that jews made a run for Historic Palestine.
Hi all,
notwithstanding our debates about what’s the best strategy would be for the Axis of Resistance, I would like to salute and mourn the lives lost already. May you Rest In Peace you innocent lives taken in this conflict, whatever side you’re on. Of course, this is especially meant to people of Gaza, but I wish no harm either to Israeli/Jewish children wherever they might be. May God, or whatever you believe in, have mercy on you.
Best, Marc
The moment before Senna's car crashed into a concrete wall [San Marino circuit], it was obvious the outcome would be bad.
It was bad.
He died.
I have the same feeling, albeit a reverse-engineered one, about Palestine. Although Russia will urge Palestine to cease its rocket attacks, I hope they'll continue to attack Occupied Palestine until 'kingdom comes.' Death by a thousand cuts. Keep those sirens wailing. Keep those shelters filled. Keep the pressure up.
Those squatters have the backbone of jellyfish. They can dish it out, but can't take it.
To die for a righteous course, is to die with honor.
To die for theft…, well, there simply is no honor among thieves.
I concur with all the sentiments about innocent lives being snuffed out, needlessly in all cases, but to liberate oneself, the master has to die, at all costs.
Something so much easier said than done.
Something so easy to say, when seated thousands of miles away from the conflict.
When you enter a ring to fight, your opponent has to go down, and you aim to leave it on your own 2 feet, not a stretcher.
Occupied Palestine runs around like a headless chicken to make Palestine stop. These MoFus support ff-ing AQ and treat wounded takfiri terrorists in their hospitals. I feel and have no mercy when it comes to this cancerous entity.
Death by a thousand cuts.
There are enough empty suitcases at Yad Vashem, ready to be filled and transported back to Europe.
Raus!
Scared shitless! This is the israel status quo in the military and in the political and civilian quarters. For every hit on Gaza, Gaza is returning the favor. "A hit for a hit," is the repeated phrase coming out of the Gaza Resistance. Having run out of military targets in Gaza, because the israeli military intel has no info on the locations of Gaza's military tunnels or the location of its leadership, israel continues with its wanton air raids on civilians in Gaza. But this criminal tactic that used to work so very well for the israelis in the past is simply not working anymore. The world's citizenry is protesting on the streets of their own cities en mass against israel's war crimes on Gaza. And it didn't exactly help the israel cause when they intentionally bombed the AP and Aljazeera offices housed in a Gaza tower. Now, even some pro-israel mainstream medias are angry at tel aviv. So very many people have turned against the israelis during this latest combat. So much so, that Italian dockers yesterday refused to allow the loading of American weapons headed to israel onto a ship heading for Haifa. The Italian dockers, spontaneously and of their own volition just outright refused to cooperate, and the ship is still docked and empty while the standoff with the dockers continues.
I think what really stirred people's spleen is that israel intentionally targets Palestinian children – and after a handful of Gaza wars this past decade, their criminal behavior is by now clear and known to your average citizen, and of course your average citizen can see no reason whatsoever for the intentional mass murder of children – any children. After all, what is more horrific than the sight of a 6 month old baby being pulled out of a bomb crater where the baby's home used to be, as, indeed, such horrific images have been assaulting the decent sensibilities of TV viewers for the past few days.
The optics are not working in favor of israel. And neither is its evident lack of a plan to end this catastrophic combat. This morning, israel is claiming that they are now giving warning to Gaza residents before they strike at their homes and buildings – the policy now is to bomb empty buildings: an utterly useless policy considering that for every hit Gaza gets, the Gaza Resistance counters with a hit somewhere in israel. The whole israel approach now is just pure idiocy. Israel the idiot bombing empty buildings and hoping that this tactic will force Gaza to stop with its rockets, but bigger Gaza rockets just keep getting pulled out from their storage and launched at israel.
Yesterday, Biden gave a new statement on the Gaza situation, while flanked by his wife who was literally standing so fucking shoulder-to-shoulder close to him that they looked like a two-headed, over-groomed monster. He said something to the effect that the US wants to see" both sides at peace". We didn't hear the loathsome "israel has the right to defend itself" from Biden yesterday – we heard a tempered and seemingly equitable statement that put Palestine and israel on equal footing. This little verbal compromise tells us that israel is crying uncle behind closed doors and is in desperate need of the US to help it stop the rockets. But America is incapable of giving them this security, as indeed it used to be able to deliver it through Egypt, or Qatar or Jordan as mediators with Gaza. Maybe Biden should start calling Hezbollah and Tehran and ask them to mediate heh!
Jewish zealots attempting to take over Al-Aqsa to celebrate their occupation of Jerusalem were yesterday blocked from entering the Al-Aqsa compound by both christian and muslim Palestinians. This is the first time in 73 years, since israel's establishment, that jews have not been able to enter and perform their usual, annual cult ritual in the gardens of the compound. Palestinian priests and mullahs alike participated in forming a human shield with other Palestinian citizens and blocked the satanist jews.
Yet another symbolic indication of the withering muscle of of the jews, and the pumping muscle of Palestinians.
Netanyahu and the jewish military have been planting stories in the israeli media about how clever-clever and heroic the isaeli military is. One such story was of how the israelis 'lured' a platoon of Gaza fighters into an open Gaza field and killed them all – all 16 of them. When two days later the israeli media asked for a recounting of this story as well as confirmation of the number of dead Gaza fighters, the military faltered and gave a different version than the previous one, setting off a firestorm between israeli media and Netanyahu, who was the one who first bragged about the clever-clever 'luring' op during a press conference two days ago.
Same down here Taxi. Unfortunately my country's Government seem to be blindly supporting Israel, in part due to the heavy influence of the Protestant Church in Brazil, so news of 'smart' apartheid regime military successes are shared in the web, some examples…and honestly some are so pathetic that is laughable…really.
1) The super duper smart IDF sent their tanks to the border with Gaza to scare them off, they say it worked and sent all 'terrorists' to underground and then the IDF jets bombed their dens….killing hundreds….
2) They have published incredible pictures of the 'Iron Dooms', always at night, with amazing lights, 100% of hits.
3) I got a video yesterday saying IDF is the most honourable army in the planet, never started a war, never aim on civilians, they call off attacks if they know there are civilians…FFS.
These are the lies their global media try to convey to ordinary people, many people fall for them, but as you noted, they've started to lose their narrative, and more and more people are sensing their fear and how they are hesitating this time…something is in the air, a new ME is born !!!!
Even so-called god is interfering on behalf of Gaza.
Yesterday, two jews died and over 200 were injured when a grandstand collapsed inside a synagogue under construction, located in an illegal settlement.
So the jews went to pray to their genocidal god and some of them ended up getting sacrificed at the alter of their satanic ritual. I can't say I would call this a tragedy. More like instant payback.
I can't figure out whether it was their satanic god who punished them for not killing enough Palestinians this time round, or it was the real, everybody's god who bitch-slapped the satanic bitches – two of them to death.
Anyway, no R.I.P. from me to ANY frigging jewish settler!
For the time being, the Gaza Resistance will continue with its rocket firing at occupiers – this is now their policy, as stated by the Gaza military and political leadership. The terrorist jews have painted themself into a corner and they too cannot stop assaulting Gaza either.
There will now be ongoing strikes and rocketry till something changes in the behavior of israel, because Gaza is NOT budging from its position, and it has enough rockets to carry on launching them at israel for the next six months. Can israeli jews endure 6 months of daily rocketry, no work and living in shelters? No fucking way, never!
Soon enough, something will have to give and we will then know the shape of the new dynamic between these two enemies. In the past, the dynamic was that israel strikes, Gaza cannot defend itself efficiently, then a hostile ceasefire is established, till the next round. The new dynamic will not look anything like the last one.
One may say anything, write anything, as always, paper accept anything…but this time it feels different, it looks different, it is different…Worldwide rallies in solidarity with Palestinians.
I do. not speak Hebrew so can not confirm the translation is correct, but surely this is how I see them brainwashing their kids. If anyone can confirm what is said is correctly translated below, please reply to this post.
Thanks, Canthama. I’ve seen this video before at least a couple of years ago – the youtube page you linked to has republished it. I don’t speak hebrew so can’t give linguistic feedback, but I can ASSURE you that everything in the translation is correct: these teachings and sentiments are absolutely typical of jews, young and old alike. I’ve heard the very same said by jews in israel in other videos many times.
Therefore, I believe the translation is pretty much on the money.
Buncha sick fucks!
Special greetings here to yesterday's commentators. Even though I said yesterday that I will respond to your great comments today, apologies but I don't have the time to do it – and also tomorrow I have to take the long drive to the American embassy in Beirut to get my passport renewal shit sorted out, so by the time I return, I will again be short on time to respond. But I will try my best to field what I can, when I can.
So much to do and to pay attention to in these fast-turning times. Exciting. But exhausting too.
On the 25th of May is Hezbollah's Liberation Day, where it is customary for Nasrallah to give a rousing speech. People in Lebanon have been waiting with bated breath for the 25th to come just so they can hear what the good man has to say about the events in Gaza. But just now I heard that Nasrallah is apparently scheduled to speak tonight at 8:30pm, Levant time, to mark 'The Day of the Wounded': a Hezb occasion that doesn't usually include a speech by Nasrallah .
I guess Nasrallah doesn't think the situation can wait another 9 days.
Interesting…
I will watch the speech tonight, but I will probably be too tired to write a summary of the speech for Plato's by the time it's over. But tomorrow I'll be around the keyboard late afternoon, so I hope to do the summary of the speech then.
Right. Nasrallah’s speech is not taking place tonight. It wasn’t cancelled – I got my info wrong. Apologies to all.
But it’s a sure 100% that he will be speaking next on the 25th May, on the Hezb’s ‘Liberation Day’.
Hello Taxi and friends. Here is something to share.
https://mobile.twitter.com/PressTV/status/1394187013423783938
LOL thanks Sars. I saw this on Leb TV yesterday.
There’s so much Resistance-centric material out there lately. I honestly can’t keep up to share it all with you lol.
The Axis of Resistance members, they don't want to be making fucking deals and shpeals with the terrorist jews. They want liberation and only liberation. They're not interested in anything else but for total liberation. "We are not looking for negotiations, we're looking for liberation," so said Osama Hamdan, Hamas' political rep in Lebanon: giving a speech in the Hezb's Dahiya district just now, at a 'Palestine Festival' in support of the cause. Other big-shot speakers are scheduled to speak too.
'Liberation, not negotiation'. Let's keep this fact in mind over the next few days, while watching a withering israel look for ways to get down that tall and gnarly kosher tree.
Take a look at these pictures of Christian Lebanon loving on Hezbollah:
Toranja Mecânica
The law about resistance is very clear: UN Resolution 37/43, dated 3 December 1982, "reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle." Palestinian resistance movements are not, therefore, "terrorists". It is their resistance to Israel's occupation that is entirely legitimate, not Israel's "self-defence". https://unispal.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0/BAC85A78081380FB852560D90050DC5F
This is a little confusing since many countries regard Hezbollah and the military wing of Hamas as terrorist groups, so that any support for them, flags etc could land you in jail, in the UK at least. Better to just say you support the resistance.
Only Aipac nations consider Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist groups. No mystery there, dear Harry. The rest of the un-jewed world, who happen to respect International Law, sees them as freedom fighters.
Why is israel getting so much so wrong in Gaza?
The answer is because it is using old methods in new times. Old tactics in new times. Old strategies in new times. Old thought-patterns in new times. Old tricks in new times.
All parts in its mental engine are old and rattled. There is nothing new there. No new ideas. No new approaches. No new smarts. No imagination.
Still over-relying on its air force as its be-all solution for everything Arab. Evidently, it learned nothing from 2006 when its air force failed, and failed miserably to deliver a victory.
All that lauded jewish 'genius' intel, all that spy equipment and satellites and radars and cyber toys, and all them hundreds of terrorist strikes on Syria just to 'stop the flow of weapons to Hezbollah and Hamas' didn't do shit. None of it did shit! Israel doesn't have a clue what's in Gaza's weapons inventory. Same as with Hezbollah. This fantastic success at keeping military secrets thus becomes like a nerve-shredding weapon in the hands of the Resistance.
I believe we will be as surprised at what Gaza will pull out of its weapons' hat, just as the israelis will be. Only difference is that we'll be smiling, and they'll be grimacing.
I am baffled though; does the resistance have ground to air AAMs? If so why aren't they blasting the terrorist jets out of the sky?
Also I think a barrage of several hundred missiles on the runways and the jet's bunkers should be done.
Anyway that's my 2 cents worth and we need to trust their strategy. But still, it's difficult to not ponder from my too comfortable armchair.
@ GRR,
The Palestinian Resistance movement doesn’t have access to radar and satellite guided munitions, as far as I can see. The kill and destruction rate is way too low.
Saw some flash images of the destruction in Gaza on Japanese TV this morning. I want to see the same thing happening to the illegal squatters in Occupied Palestine, but the numbers speak for themselves; ~ 5 vs. 150 dead.
This ratio has to level out. Occupied Palestine can’t digest larger numbers of dead. The Palestinian Resistance movement can hurt [and is hurting] Occupied Palestine’s economy. The holy shekel rules. The rockets are like termites, gnawing at the ‘foundation’ of the most hated nation on the planet.
Terminate this bad plan of ‘nation-building’ already.
Thanks, grr. The Resistance members have “everything they need,” according to Nasrallah. In asymmetrical warfare, weapons are pulled out for use strategically, without exhibition. We observe how with the progress of combat, Gaza keeps pulling out its bigger weapons in stages, a-la Hezbollah style. Obviously, the big-biggie weapons will come out during the final confrontation, to insure a successful kill.
grr, as far as i know, there are plenty of MANPADS in the hands of The Resistance-Front line…good for low altitude vectors…usually choppers and low flying bombers.
There are rumours that Hezbollah has proper AAs, never confirmed by them nor anyone else, and worth to mention that once you use proper AA missiles, you light up IDF radars, so it is tricky to use them…should Hezbollah have it and use it, they will do it in a very special way and most likely carrying a powerful message of deterrence that Lebanon never. had it, and here it carries a very heavy weight since many countries do not allow Lebanon to have these kind of weapons…US, UK, France etc…so the day it is used, it will generate chock waves…I kind of feel we will see it in use soon though, any escalation between Palestinians and the apartheid regime will trigger more from The Resistance, directly or indirectly…I wonder how busy are the tunnels from Egypt to Gaza….
pepe has a new post on the saker on his take on what's happening in gaza. pepe invariably lets humour zing through his work but not this time, it's the nearest he's come, imho, to anger & a profound sadness.
For those interested: Pepe Escobar – The mask of “liberal democracy” falls with a bang – Link to The Saker
Thanks.
TEP.
Sigh….
Never forget!
@ taxi,
According to a poster over @ the Saker's blog, this video is about Egypt being involved in Gaza.
As I don't understand the language, would you be kind enough to check it out for us and possibly vouch for its accurateness [or not]?
Thanks in advance.
The video guy is saying that Egypt has presented israel with conditions that would lead to a Gaza ceasefire. And israel is ignoring Egypt, as usual. The video guy goes through the current changes that advantage the Resistance over a weakening israel and advises that israel comply with the Egypt proposal, otherwise it will lose everything.
I reported a couple of days ago that a team of Egyptian volunteer doctors have entered Gaza to help the injured. Apparently, several Egyptian tanks are parked at the Rafah Border Crossing (between Gaza and Egypt) to ensure the safety and safe return of Egyptian doctors. Usually, Egypt does not move tanks or anything military on the border without israel’s permission. This time, Egypt didn’t wait for the ok from tel aviv. The video guy is warning israel not to attack these parked tanks, otherwise they will “suffer Egyptian missiles,” is what the vid guy says.
Egypt always gets dragged into Gaza’s dramas.
Surprise! NOT! Israel broke out its White Phosphorous yesterday over a Gaza neighborhood: 8 times over.
One war crime after the other will not a victory make.
@ taxi,
Thank you. Very much appreciated.
Of course they are denying it. But an article in Newsweek points out that they still have it in their arsenal, for use in just these sorts of circumstances. Hope there are lots of videos.
Israel using White Phosphorus Shells against civilian | Gaza | Palestine 🇵🇸| Israel | West Bank |
May 18, 2021
21SHARESAVE
Palestinians continue the pressure on the apartheid regime and settlers…Palestinians are taking to the streets of Ramallah for general strike. Life cover below.
WAR CRIME BY THE APARTHEID REGIME IN OCCUPIED PALESTINE.
Israel using White Phosphorus Shells against civilian | Gaza | Palestine 🇵🇸| Israel | West Bank |
Apparently, last night 7 rockets were fired from Lebanon at israel. No info on landing location or damage on the israeli side is available. But we do know that they were fired by (refugee) Palestinians using a high hill in a shia village in south Lebanon. This means that the Hezb gave it the green light, knowing full well that israel would not dare fire back at Lebanon – unless, of course, it wanted to die sooner than later heh.
Yesterday, the Gaza Resistance also fired at Herzliya, a neighborhood north of tel aviv known for housing many offices belonging to a variety of israeli intel agencies.
ALSO, Unit 8200 in the Negev desert was targeted by Palestinian resistance.
PLUS, a Hamas submarine was attacked by both the jewish air force and navy after it was spotted in waters very close to the Tamar rig that lies in waters off the coast of Ashkelon. FUCK YEAH the Palestinian Resistance has its own autonomous submarines! I'd heard rumors before that the Gaza Resistance has these submarines as well as underwater attack drones, but this is the first time that I gain proof of them. The israelis are reporting that they nabbed the sub soon as it was launched into water, meaning: far from the actual Tamar rig. They don't want the petrified-for-their-lives-and-shekels jews to think that the Resistance got ooooh this very close to destroying a major rig. Gaza will try again, no doubt. Take a look at how the israeli-hollywood-war-media is treating this incident – check out their sketchy video of the incident inside the article linked below – (as if the Gaza Resistance is dumb enough to launch an autonomous submarine during daylight and when so much hostile jewish aerial activity abounds lol):
IDF says it thwarted underwater drone attack by Hamas from northern Gaza
Image of the hit on Herzliya:
Major Palestinian protests in occupied Palestine continue raging on the streets, clashing with racist settlers and with jewish security terrorists. These Palestinian protestors are fighting the menace of humanity with nothing but bare hands and bodies. RESPECT!!!
Meanwhile, israel's air force continues with its war crimes in Gaza…
No sign that the Palestinian Resistance is anywhere near stopping either its civil or military revolt. No sign that the jews can stop their terrorism either. No sign anywhere of anything vaguely resembling a ceasefire.
It's as if the Resistance is prodding-prodding and prodding israel into a war that israel reaaaaaally does not want to fight. But will have to.
Why is Israel an apartheid state?
Answers from Dr. Muriel Asseburg, to an interview in Germany
It would appear Palestinian resistance forces do not have the precision accuracy or any guidance systems whatsoever on their missiles [I could be wrong on this] as the Iranian and Hezbollah forces do, they are certainly more powerful, thus a longer range, however many big economic targets which should have been hit, have not been hit, although relatively close to Gaza, Hamas say they targeted the Tamar gas platform only 10 kilometres off the coast of Israel and failed to hit it.
The Israelis have chosen the weakest link, like the cowards they are. Hezbollah certainly have the precision missiles [thus they were left alone] it is to be hoped that the Palestinian resistance leadership install guidance systems as a priority for the next round of fighting, Ayatollah Khamenei certainly promised the Palestinians all the help they need, as did the Hezbollah.
Taxi, I am not sure whether you still read Mondoweiss still less the UK Guardian but I was pleasantly surprised, shocked actually by this admission…..
Last week the Guardian newspaper in London expressed shame over one of its worst errors of judgment: that in 1917 it supported and facilitated the Balfour Declaration, the imperial document that awarded Jews the “right” to make a homeland in Palestine. This counter-declaration was met with rage by Israel supporters.
And well it should, for it represents another blow to the legitimacy of Zionism in the west. All around us today we hear these blows falling on the central creed of Israel: the supposed right of a Jewish collective to national self-determination in a land populated by others.

Hey all,
i am looking for an article by I believe Seymour Hersh, in which he describes the US decision to ally with Sunni extremism against the Shia axis. It is from around 2008 and called something like « the great turn ». Do you have it handy? I can’t find it.
thanks, Marc

I can’t vouch for this being true, but it does make sense to me – Link to Imgur.com
side note: the comment sections shows Occupied Palestine is losing whatever is left of its credibility faster than I can type…
Daniel, Israel's war plan is simply to kill civilians. That's what they do best.
@ Saladin,
If you’d asked me a few years ago whether I had any optimism about a change in Palestine’s betterment, I would have answered, ‘No!’
And, yes, Occupied Palestine loves to go for the soft underbelly of the Palestinian society as a whole. They don’t fight like real men; the fight like the ff-ing pussies they are!
So, I hope Palestine either gets outside help [guided munitions] directly [via its own territory] or from the land of the Axis of Resistance.
We all know the famous quote that the first casualty of war is truth. We do not yet know the full truth of what is unfolding in Gaza and occupied Palestine. As I think back to the 2006 war, israel really believed they had won the war in the first two-three days after bombing Hezbollah’s known missile sites. These, of course, were the ones Hez had let them believe were the full strength of their arsenal. Only after the ground invasion began did the Warriors of God begin to fire their hidden rockets. Only then did they come out of their tunnels and reveal the Kornets and the rest of their sophisticated weaponry.
Though I would like to have seen much more from the Palestinian resistance at this point, I get the feeling they are still fighting with one hand behind their back, waiting to spring some traps and display some military surprises. The IDF is hesitant, not wanting to risk a ground invasion. All the pathetic settler state can do is kill civilians and destroy civilian infrastructure. The Palestinian military is all underground. In fact, israeli military has publicly stated this is their strategy; they call it the “Dahiyeh doctrine,” named for the densely populated Shia neighborhoods of Beirut, which they intend to destroy in order to bring Hezbollah to its knees. Of course, Hez knows this and they will not succumb, but will inflict equal or greater pain on israeli cities. I’m sure this is also the Palestinian strategy with some of their own added wrinkles. What remains to be seen is: will israel seriously commit tanks and ground troops? And will the Palestinian resistance bring out its bigger guns and more sophisticated weaponry? What about the Palestinian fighters? Could they, like Hez, plan on striking deeper into occupied territory?
I concur with what Harry Law and others have said; thus far, from our limited perspective, it does not seem the resistance’s missile arsenal is very accurate or “guided.” Perhaps that’s part of their plan, appearing still militarily weak and unsophisticated in order to lure Israel to commit, foster their famous hubris, tempting them to invade with “boots on the ground”. Yet all israel can do is continue murder civilians, displaying to the world their utter cowardice, cruelty, and demonic savagery. They are losing the propaganda war. They will surely lose the military conflict. As Taxi and others have said, we just don’t know the timing. I doubt the Palestinian resistance is nearly as developed militarily as Hez, but might they be, as was Hez in 2006, far more of a dangerous power than we (and the settler state realize)? That is what I am pondering. Would love to hear Taxi’s and others views.
Like I mentioned upthread: according to Nasrallah himself, the Palestine Resistance has all the weapons it needs. It also has the total and committed military support of the other members of the Axis of Resistance: all waiting for the war drums to roll out.
Even with what small weapons the Gaza resistance is using, impossible challenges have been thrown right at israel’s head and knees.
Your observation of the parallels between the 2006 Hezb tactic and strategy and this current ‘Sword of Jerusalem’ battle is correct.
We have entered a new phase of the War of Liberation. This morning, I began writing a comment about this new phase, but it turned into a whole new article. A new phase, after all, deserves a new article. For further updates on the situ and new commentary, please join me at the boards of the new article here:
Oh Jerusalem!
Thanks everyone who visited and especially to friends of Plato's who commented here on this thread, adding support and informative links on the developing situation. Keep the goods coming.
In earnest appreciation of everyone,
