Never has the concept of Liberal Zionism looked more absurd and contradictory. It almost makes you feel sorry for people who simply can't accept the evidence before their eyes that the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians was inevitable from the very beginning of Zionism. As Theodor Herzl wrote in his diary on June 2nd 1895: “We must expropriate gently the private property on the estates assigned to us. We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it employment in our own country. The property owners will come over to our side. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly.”

If only this man @tedcruz had read a bit of history and/or even followed current affairs he'd know this resistance/defiance is in the French genes. Been happening every year, more or less, for ages. Remember Bastille Day or Marie Antoinette? Never heard of them? Only Islamists. How pathetic.

Nothing to do with Islam. But do continue pedalling the disinformation, it only exposes your own bigotry. Republican politicians are some the most insufferable individuals.

It is standard has bar a that P-nians are uneducated, dirty, and barbarians. Meanwhile literacy rate in P-ine is higher than in the US, and this includes women. Also, in 2023, the % of G-n P-nians with a doctorate was higher than the % of the European average. The IL-i focus =>

Muslim slaves were sometimes vastly more educated than their American masters.
In 1788, Thomas Foster, a poorly educated farmer in Natchez, Mississippi, bought a man called Abd al-Rahman Ibrahima.
Foster called him “Prince.”
The fascinating thing is that he REALLY WAS a prince.
A Muslim from Futa Jallon, in present-day Guinea, Ibrahima had studied in the great Islamic centres of Timbuktu and Djenné. He could read and write Arabic, spoke several African languages and had commanded soldiers in his father's army.
He was vastly better educated than the American farmer who now owned him.
For FORTY YEARS, this highly educated African worked on Foster's plantation.
According to his biographer, he even traced Arabic letters in the sand to keep his knowledge alive when he had no access to books or writing materials.
In 1826, he wrote a passage from the Qur'an. The writing eventually reached Morocco and helped set in motion diplomatic efforts involving US President John Quincy Adams.
He was finally freed in 1828, aged about 66, on condition that he leave America.
His wife Isabella gained her freedom too, but they had to leave their children behind in slavery.
He reached Liberia in 1829 and died there before he could make it back to Guinea.
One complication worth mentioning: his own West African kingdom had participated in the slave trade. History is rarely a tidy morality play.
But the story rather spectacularly demolishes the comforting old fantasy that European and American slaveholders were bringing civilization to supposedly primitive Africans.
The man with the superior education was the property.
The man with the inferior education was the master.
Today, in a four letter location, we see one side with all the fighter jets oppress an astonishingly educated population, with both men and women often achieving a level of intellectual richess rarely attained by the American who supply the bombs or the mad dog mobs which attack the locals, journalists and visiting diplomats.
Particularly odd is how many highly skilled physicians and engineers the oppressed side manages to produce in conditions that are hardly pedagocially optimal circumstances.
Thank you, Sir, for the follow. Hope to learn and enjoy the connect.

There are few more revolting sights than a careless, over-paid Murdoch hack smearing a principled writer who is bravely opposing the brutal slaughter of innocent civilians, many of them children
What a brave and fearless man! Fought even when he was seriously injured, right up to his last breath. The very definition of a Martyr. A real Man!
Rest in the highest echelons of Paradise Yahya Sinwar. Amen!
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was martyred on October 16, 2024, while fighting Israeli forces in Rafah, southern Gaza.
Despite being wounded, he continued resisting until an Israeli attack on the building where he was sheltering martyred him.

A 100+ years later the goals are almost the same, the tactics perhaps a bit more refined but the boys being sent out to die are exactly the same ones in uniforms. And the guys in suits n ties who benefit are also always the same.
WAR IS A RACKET: Major Smedley D. Butler:
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

When painful truths go sufficiently mainstream even Democrats work up enough courage to - very carefully - repeat them.
They don't want to lose another election over this 'complicated' issue.
Democrats are understandably doing a tough balancing act between voters and donors.

“Ánton era judío y dueño de una de las panaderías más famosas de Alemania. Cuando le preguntaban cómo había sobrevivido al Holocausto, solía contar esta historia:
- Cuando era adolescente, los nazis nos subieron a un tren rumbo a Auschwitz. Días enteros sin comida, sin agua, sin abrigo. Nevaba. El frío era brutal. La muerte estaba en cada rincón del vagón. Junto a mí, un anciano temblaba sin parar. Yo también me estaba congelando, pero usé mis manos para frotar las suyas, su cara, sus piernas. Lo abracé toda la noche, le hablé, le pedí que no se rindiera. Cuando salió el sol, descubrí algo que me estremeció: todos los demás en el vagón habían muerto congelados. Solo quedábamos él y yo. Él vivió porque lo mantuve caliente. Yo viví porque lo mantuve vivo. El secreto de la supervivencia es calentar el corazón de los demás. Cuando das calor, lo recibes también. Cuando ayudas a vivir… vives tú también.”

Iranian Mil Engineering That Circumvents Sanctions
The most important development in the Middle East today is not merely the erosion of the American encirclement model.
It is the rise of an Iranian logistical engineering capability that once seemed unthinkable.
This includes networks of buried missile factories that refine and mix their own fuel using a system of inclined-tower refining never seen before.
The entire network is fed by road arteries that branch inside mountains, gas stations, markets, and fake parking lots, all designed to move inputs to these facilities without drawing the attention of satellites.
This machine continued operating even after the major rocket-fuel producers were bombed.
This mastery now extends to Yemen. There, no one mixes liquid fuel on site, because such facilities would be easier to detect and strike.
Instead, Yemen essentially receives ready-made liquid fuel from Iran through a high-risk smuggling network that uses refrigerated tanks. Solid fuel, by contrast, is manufactured in Yemen under Iranian supervision.
The entire process costs money, and Yemen pays for it, not to mention the missile components themselves.
Where does the money come from?
Ironically, part of it comes from the Saudis themselves.
There are people inside the IRGC who profit from this, of course, but that is not the main point. What is striking is that Iran keeps refining its invisible logistics even under intense aerial, naval, and ground monitoring.
The volume of ballistic and cruise missile launches, along with the drones in Houthi hands, is further evidence of this improved logistics.
And the Iraqi PMF? Drones and other weapons not supplied by the Iraqi government regularly reach the hands of these militias.
During the last war, aircraft and drones were struck over Iraq, clearly with Iranian weapons provided to the militias.
This is a logistical network that continues to improve, and local governments struggle to dismantle it.
Iran has become a conventional power with a respectable missile and drone force. At the same time, it remains a state of militia veins whose logistics keep advancing.
The idea of economically asphyxiating a state like Iran simply spreads fires across the entire region.
There are no simple or short-term solutions to this.

سبحان الله العظيم !! أخصائي جراحة العظام والإصابات ينصدم من معجزة في القرآن الكريم
يقول الطبيب وهو يرتجف:
"يا إلهي! أنا الآن أرتجف من شدة التأثر، وأشعر برجفة في يديّ وقدميّ!"
اسمعوا ماذا وجد في كتاب الله...
يقول الله تعالى في سورة القيامة:
﴿كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ﴾
[القيامة: 26-29]
تأملوا الدقة الإلهية المذهلة!
حين تبلغ الروح التراقي (عظام أعلى الصدر)، ويُقال: هل من طبيب ينقذه؟ هل من راقٍ يرقيه؟ في تلك اللحظة يتيقن الإنسان أن الفراق قد حان.
ثم تأتي الآية المعجزة: ﴿وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ﴾
وهنا الصدمة الطبية!
نحن كأطباء عظام وإصابات نعلم أن منطقة الترقوة هي المنطقة الجلدية العصبية التي يغذيها العصب العنقي الثالث والرابع (C3 - C4).
وهل تعلمون ما هو أهم عصب يخرج من هذه المنطقة تحديداً؟
إنه العصب الحجابي (Phrenic Nerve) الذي يتحكم في الحجاب الحاجز ومسؤول عن التنفس!
فإذا حدثت إصابة في الحبل الشوكي فوق مستوى C3-C4 فإن هذا العصب يُشل ويتوقف التنفس ويموت الإنسان!
والقرآن يصف هذه اللحظة بدقة طبية لا يمكن لبشر أن يعرفها قبل 1400 سنة:
وصول الروح للتراقي، ثم التفاف الساق بالساق كعلامة على شلل الأطراف وإصابة الحبل الشوكي، ثم توقف التنفس!
أليست هذه معجزة؟
سبحان الله الخالق العليم، سبحان من خلق الإنسان وعلم ما في جسده قبل أن يكتشفه الطب الحديث! 🤲
