So the "war" wasn't about #Hezbollah it was about Lebanon and Israel did what we said they would do entered Syriaeto capture more land while they can.
But it's ok. It's their god given right.
This is where the confrontation with the Iranian elite forces may have happened.
It's just unbelievable that #Biden is pushing for confrontation with #Russia and #Iran before leaving the office.
There has been multiple reports of Ukrainian "advisors" helping both Arab rebels (mostly former #ISIS fighters) and the small group of Kurdish fighters who broke of #SDF who doesn't want to open an all out war with the Syrian government.

This is a common occurrence, but there is a difference. His house was already demolished by this action and what they are going to destroy now is a house rebuilt at the beginning of this year.

"Israel's 36th Division has begun deepening the ground operation towards new areas in southern #Lebanon," - Israeli Broadcasting Corporation.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani expressed hopes during a phone call with US President-elect Donald Trump that he would keep his "promises to work towards ending wars" in the Middle East. "The two sides agreed to coordinate efforts in achieving this goal," it added. About 2,500 American troops are deployed in Iraq as part of a US-led coalition that was formed to help battle the Islamic State group

The Zionist entity has passed a contentious new law that authorises the deportation of relatives of individuals accused of "terrorism," even if these relatives are citizens of the entity.
In a vote of 61 to 41, the legislation—proposed by the far-right Jewish Power Party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir—enables authorities to expel family members of alleged "terrorists" to the Gaza Strip or other designated areas. This measure allows Israelis to remove entire Palestinian families if one member is found guilty of activities categorised as terrorism.
This week, while American media focused on the election, the Israeli military announced its goal of permanently removing Palestinians from their land in North Gaza. While the Israeli military’s plan of extermination has been clear for weeks—and is the continuation of a year of genocide and decades of displacement and occupation—this official proclamation of permanent ethnic cleansing by the Israeli government amounts to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.
For over a month, Israeli forces have imposed a siege on North Gaza, executing its “general’s plan” to force the 400,000 Palestinians in the area to either leave or die. The Israeli military has cut off the region to all aid, and no food or water has entered since October 1. Horrific footage has circulated of Palestinians blindfolded and detained by the Israeli military. Israeli forces continue to target schools and hospitals, bombing anywhere that can be used as a shelter. Just last night, Israeli airstrikes killed 30 Palestinians sheltering in a school in Gaza City. Palestinians in North Gaza are facing the harshest conditions since the start of the Israeli military’s US-funded genocidal assault last October.
The Israeli government’s current extermination campaign represents the logical conclusion of Zionism, the political ideology that the Israeli state is based on. Zionism envisions the creation of an ethnostate where Jews have more rights than Palestinians; under this colonial logic, Zionism requires forcing Palestinians from their land.
The end goal of the Israeli government and the Zionist project is loud and clear—the total ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes. And our government’s complicity is loud and clear as it continues to fund the atrocities perpetrated by the Israeli military with our tax dollars.
Palestinians have the right to live in freedom and the right to return home. We demand that the US government ends its complicity and stops the flow of weapons now.

'Reserve Diary: #Hebron 1989' was perhaps the first Israeli film to break the silence on soldiers' illegal actions in the West Bank – so how come almost no one has seen it in 35 years? Its director, Yishai Shuster, reveals all.”

Yedioth Ahronoth reported that "after a month of ground operations, 5 Israeli military divisions & a reserve brigade—over 50,000 soldiers, triple the number deployed in the 2006 July War—have failed to establish a foothold in southern #Lebanon. Despite extensive firepower and air support, the #Israeli #military has not managed to occupy a single village in South Lebanon."
The report attributes this failure to #Hezbollah’s "effective tactical strategies," which include multiple defensive lines equipped with munitions capable of accurately targeting Israeli armored vehicles, tanks, and soldiers. Additionally, it notes the army's difficulties in mapping Hezbollah’s positions and countering the threat posed by small, hard-to-detect drones.
In an interview, Colonel Jack Neriya, a former advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, explained that Hezbollah fighters are deliberately allowing Israeli forces to advance, only to trap them in ambushes. This tactic has created a dire situation for Israeli troops, including elite units like Golani and other commandos. Neriya warned that the human cost of any advance could be severe, potentially surpassing "Israel’s" total casualties since the late 1940s (via Al-Akhbar)
UN Resolution 181 neither partitioned Palestine nor conferred any legal authority to the Zionists for their unilateral declaration of Israel's existence.
There is a widely accepted belief that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 “created” Israel, based upon an understanding that this resolution partitioned Palestine or otherwise conferred legal authority or legitimacy to the declaration of the existence of the state of Israel. However, despite its popularity, this belief has no basis in fact, as a review of the resolution’s history and examination of legal principles demonstrates incontrovertibly

On Monday morning, Israeli armed forces attacked a delegation from leftist group Progressive International as it deployed to Qusra, Palestine.
As they attended the local olive harvest, delegates were bombarded with tear gas and stun grenades by both settler armed forces and the Israeli army that accompanied them.

The Board of ILGA, a federation of 1,900 #LGBTQIA+ organizations in 160 countries and territories, voted unanimously to remove the bid by Aguda from the vote at its 2024 World Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, November 11-15.
The announcement of Aguda’s bid to host the ILGA World Conference in Tel Aviv as Israel commits genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, escalates its violent apartheid rule over all Palestinians and conducts massacres in Lebanon, provoked widescale condemnation among ILGA member organizations and board members.
Former ILGA Secretary General Phumi Mtetwa withdrew as a keynote speaker from this year’s conference over the bid, saying, “Apartheid is Apartheid, and there's no room for negotiation or tolerance, especially not from within the LGBTQI+ movement.” ILGA board members have been vocal in their opposition, condemning the proposal as “trying to blatantly #pinkwash war crimes which does not represent our movement that stands in strong solidarity against any oppression.”
ILGA further voted to suspend Aguda as it reviews its compliance with the ILGA constitution. ILGA’s review process can come to no other conclusion than to expel Aguda and all organizations complicit in Israel’s crimes.
Aguda has a history of pinkwashing Israel’s crimes, even defining the Israeli #military as “one of the more progressive organizations in Israel” in terms of LGBTQIA+ acceptance during Israel’s genocide, and promotes activities in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian #WestBank.
ILGA apologized for the anger and harm done to its communities, recognizing “the historical experience with #apartheid and #colonialism in #SouthAfrica: even the possibility of voting on such a bid in their home country would have been at odds with the unequivocal solidarity for the Palestinian people.”
We thank the many South African organizations and all #ILGA members who immediately recognized the Aguda bid for what it was, an attempt to pinkwash Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, and pushed ILGA to do better.
