Powerful explosions reported in Krayot area (near Haifa), northern Israel.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has asked China's foreign minister and other counterparts to use their influence to dissuade Iran from striking Israel, the State Department said Thursday.

Iran Foreign Minister rejects any attempts at mediation, says that countries 'should have condemned the Israeli aggression when they had the chance', and that a punishment is definitely necessary

The United States said on Thursday it had restricted its employees in Israel and their family members from personal travel outside the greater Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be'er Sheva areas amid Iran's threats to retaliate against its regional adversary"

➡️ The Iranian state news agency IRNA wrote on Wednesday that “the time is ripe to punish Israel”. It claimed a final decision on how to respond to Israel had been made, adding a failure to respond would undermine Iran’s “deterrence.”

➡️ The Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, also wrote that Iran’s “punishment” for Israel was inevitable and would be “heavy”.

➡️ But it said how and when Iran would act was confidential and that reports suggesting that Tehran would respond over the next few days or was planning a missile and drone strike were only speculation.

➡️ Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian held phone conversations with foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates and Qatar on Wednesday night, with the ministry saying the consequences of Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate were among the topics discussed. He also spoke to his Turkish counterpart on Thursday.

➡️ Israeli security analysts have said an Iranian attack could range from a strike via one of Iran’s proxies, such as Hizbollah, to a direct attack on Israel from Iran itself, which could risk an escalation of the regional conflict.

Jews Must Be Feared Rather than Loved

We need to stop trying to make antisemites like us.

When #Churchill carpet-bombed Hamburg, Essen, Cologne, and Dresden, he was not trying to win a popularity contest. When Harry #Truman dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he was not looking to win a Nobel Peace Prize.

Those who protect and enable #Hamas’ #genocide, like the utterly antisemitic and immoral United Nations and #Qatar, must be resisted and their reputations destroyed. American abominations like Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and American Taliban like Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) must have their hatred, bigotry, and antisemitism attacked and exposed in the media nonstop.

They will never like us. Let’s make sure they fear us.

Le plan Q de l'Elysée.

Paris promet l’immunité de Nasser.

Sa Majesté l'émir Al-Thani, souverain régnant et chef d'État du Qatar, sera à Paris du 26 février au 1er mars.
Que vient faire là Nasser Al-Khelaïfi ? NAK est le médiatique président du Paris-Saint-Germain (eh oui) et de Bein Sport, et ministre d’État du Qatar. Mais il est aussi la cible de nombreuses procédures judiciaires en France, qui ont le don d’agacer prodigieusement l’émirat :
— L’affaire dite des barbouzeries du PSG : le club parisien, perquisitionné début février, est soupçonné d’avoir fait espionner des supporters et des journalistes, voire d’avoir corrompu des élus et hauts fonctionnaires. Ainsi que la plainte pour enlèvement et séquestration, et l'accusation de travail dissimulé par son ancien majordome.

La suite de ces exercices de "diplomatie" sur fond de putasseries et de gros fric dans l'article. Passionnant. Instructif. ...Et exaspérant.

Le plan Q de l'Elysée : Paris promet l’immunité de Nasser

En prévision de la visite d’État de l’émir Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani la semaine prochaine à Paris, l’exécutif a promis à Doha de n’aborder aucun des sujets qui fâchent. Visé par plusieurs plaintes, le président du PSG Nasser Al-Khelaïfi a de son...

Bombing Muslims for Peace

A few quotes:

(...) Right now, of course, the world is witnessing yet another U.S. bombing campaign, the latest in a series that seems all too predictable (and futile), meant to teach the restless rebels of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and possibly even Iran a lesson when it comes to messing with the United States of America. (...)

Israel is systematically destroying Gaza, rendering it essentially uninhabitable for those Palestinians who survive the ongoing rampage. In fact, early in its war of annihilation, Israeli leaders cited the Allied destruction of the German city of Dresden in 1945 in support of their own atrocious air and ground campaign against the Palestinians.

Looking at this dispassionately as a military historian, the Dresden reference makes a certain twisted sense. In World War II, the Americans and their British allies in their “combined bomber offensive” destroyed German cities indiscriminately, seeing all Germans as essentially Nazis, complicit in the crimes of their government, and so legitimate targets. Something similar is true of the right-wing Israeli government today. It sees all Palestinians as essentially members of Hamas and thus complicit in last year’s brutal October 7th attacks on Israel, making them legitimate targets of war, Israeli- (and American-) style. Just like the United States, Israel claims to be “defending democracy” whatever it does. Little wonder, then, that Washington has been so willing to send bombs and bullets to its protégé as it seeks “peace” through massive firepower and genocidal destruction. (...)

Putting [the issue of genocide] aside, it’s undeniable that Israel has been using indiscriminate bombing attacks and a devastating invasion in a near-total war against Palestinians living on that 25-mile-long strip of land, an approach that calls to mind the harrowing catchphrase “Exterminate all the brutes!” from Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness. (...)

Try to imagine such events from the perspective of a historian writing in the year 2200. Might that future scribe not refer to repeated U.S. invasions of, incursions into, and bombing campaigns across the Middle East as a bloody crusade, launched under the (false) banner of democracy with righteous vengeance, if not godly purpose, in mind? Might that historian not suggest that such a “crusade” was ultimately more about power and profit, domination and control than (as advertised) “freedom”? And might that historian not be impressed (if not depressed) by the remarkable way the U.S. brought seemingly unending chaos and death to the region over such a broad span of time?

Consider these facts. More than 22 years after the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. still has at least 30,000 troops scattered across the Middle East. At least one Navy carrier strike group, and often two, dominate the regional waters, while striking numbers of military bases (“Little Americas”) are still sprinkled across countries ranging from Kuwait to Bahrain, from Qatar to the United Arab Emirates and beyond. So many years later, about 900 U.S. troops still illegally occupy part of Syria (not coincidentally, where that country produces most of its oil) and 2,500 more remain in Iraq, even though the government there would like them to depart.

Egyptian officials say mediators have made progress in talks aimed at a truce in #Gaza. Representatives from the #US, #Egypt, #Israel and #Qatar are meeting in Cairo, as international calls grow for Israel to halt plans for an assault on the southern city of Rafah.

Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has expressed concern over Israel's planned offensive in Rafah. At a news conference with the Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki, Baerbock said that Israel had a duty to guarantee "safe corridors" for civilians in Rafah.

As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.

This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.

Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.

According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:

  1. #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
  2. #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
  3. #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
  4. #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
  5. #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
  6. #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
  7. #Syria - 7.1 million refugees

The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.

It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.

However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.

...

To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.

Iranian national football team lost it's match against Qatar in Asian Football Championship semi finals and missed to reach the final.

It has been many decades since #TeamMelli had managed to reach the final and this time it came as close as ever, but lost 3-2 in a match with very questionable judgment by the Kuwaiti referee.

-- Quelles sont les différences entre #sunnites et #chiites ?
https://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2014/06/20/au-fait-quelle-difference-entre-sunnites-et-chiites_4442319_4355770.html

Une majorité de musulmans soutiennent Abou Bakr ( #sunnite), qui devient le premier calife. Depuis, les sunnites ont toujours été majoritaires. Ils représentent aujourd’hui environ 85 % des musulmans du monde. Les seuls pays à majorité #chiite sont l’Iran, l’Irak, l’Azerbaïdjan et Bahreïn, mais d’importantes minorités existent au Pakistan, en Inde, au Yémen, en Afghanistan, en Arabie saoudite et au Liban.
